Chapter 2: The Magic Academy of Mondrus

- Shaanna -

Shaanna sat in camp's carriage and looked out the window. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ever since she came to this strange city, she has been thinking about them all the time.

Although the carriage is gorgeous, the road is flat, and it is not bumpy at all to sit in the carriage,

But she didn't like it.

The person sitting in the car was not Uncle Mo He, not Uncle Ren, not Uncle Eighth Master, and not Sister Shui Yue.

This fat uncle takes care of her very much, but after all, she was forced to bring it to him, and she still feels that she doesn't like him somewhat.

The carriage has been traveling for three and a half days.

The coachman said that at this rate, they would be able to reach the Mondrus Academy at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Count Camp had patiently and in detail explained to her what the Academy was.

But she was more concerned about whether the academy was really a place for people to become stronger.

If not, then she leaves the city immediately,

Run far away, and don't let Count Kemp's men find it again.

Seeing that people were constantly looking out of the window, Count Camp hurriedly helped Shaanna lower the curtains.

Shaanna's vision was blocked, and she turned her head to look at Count Camp opposite,

And there are no complaints.

She put her feet on her seat, and lay down in her position with her whole body curled.

It only took a few moments to hear her slight snoring.

When Shaanna was gently awakened from her sleep by Kemp, they were already outside the gates of the Demonic Academy in Mondrus.

There is no tall wall at the gate of the college, only twelve statues more than 30 meters high.

Six are mage statues and six are warrior statues.

The statues are carved out of complete boulders, with a faint glitter on them.

Shaanna recognized the flashes as magical words.

There was already a crowd of people outside the gate, mainly people who were sending their children to report for duty and businessmen doing business in the designated area.

At the entrance to the entrance of the academy, a team of twenty elite musketeers guarded,

This is the man of the Imperial Council of the United Empire of Rice Eagle,

In addition to the school gate, there is also a thousand-strong royal council guard stationed in the academy for a long time.

They are only at the disposal of the Imperial Council and the Academy of Directors.

Every year, the Mondrus Magic Academy sends a large number of elite talents to the United Empire of Rice Eagles.

As such, the Magic Academy of Mondreus is directly supervised and managed by the Imperial Council.

The musket in the hands of the Guardians of the United Imperial Council of the Rice Eagle is a very powerful weapon,

Both the muskets and the artillery purchased by Wren originated in the Tang Dragon Empire, and now their manufacturing technology has gradually been mastered by several major powers.

Several major powers have joined forces to block gun-making technology, leaving many small countries with obsolete versions of weapons from smugglers.

In order to facilitate teaching, the entire college was built in the suburbs far from the city.

In order to maintain the life and supply of the academy, a designated trade area has been demarcated on the periphery of the academy.

Most of the desired items can be traded in the trade area.

The academy is usually closed to outsiders, except for the recruitment period at a certain time of year.

The college allows parents to bring their children into the college with them to take the entrance test.

The area of the whole college is very large.

Because it not only includes the basic student and teacher accommodation area, teaching area, experimental area, planting area, domestication area and indoor and outdoor martial arts arena,

Also included are three sprawling proving grounds.

The three proving grounds are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Each proving ground is also divided into nine zones, numbered from one to nine, with the higher the number, the more difficult the trial.

These proving grounds are built on the wild environment to allow trialists to hone in a more realistic wilderness environment.

Although the college is large, the front gate area of the campus is always overcrowded during the recruitment period.

Several large outdoor arenas, which were originally used by the students, have been vacated as reception areas.

The entrance test will be conducted in a large indoor martial arts arena.

Due to the relatively good connections of Count Camp,

He asked a friend to get a letter of recommendation for Shaanna's entrance test.

With a letter of recommendation, they save themselves from long waiting lines.

After registering the entrance test information, Count Camp received a card for Shaanna from the registered teacher.

The card has a number on it, F-21, which means that Shaana's test will take place at the F test site the next day.

Looking at the number of the queue, it may be because there are fewer students who apply for the magic test.

After receiving the cards, Count Camp was already sweating profusely.

He suggested that Shaanna find a place to settle down and then visit the academy together.

Shaanna accepted the Earl's suggestion, but in fact she was not interested in playing at all in the face of the crowded front door of the Academy.

The Earl had no intention of returning to the manor today because of the long distance, and he had already booked a room in advance in a luxurious hotel in the commercial and trade area outside the college.

As soon as he settled down at the inn, the Earl of Camp was nervous to find that Shaanna was gone.

Outside the hotel room, there are more than a dozen of his guards guarding 24 hours a day.

If the little girl leaves through the gate,

It's going to be noticed.

However, the Earl still had some doubts about the ability of the guards outside the door,

He opened the door, saluted him in unison, and closed the door again.

This room has an inner and outer bedroom and a living room, and although it is not small, there are not many places to hide people.

The Earl of Camp had searched for several corners, but still did not see the little girl.

"Lord Shaanna, where are you?"

Count Camp whispered tentatively.

"Shaanna is outside. ā€

Unexpectedly, Shaanna actually responded.

The sound came from outside the only open window.

The Count of Camp forgot his weight, and ran all the way to the window, looking out,

I found that the little girl was actually sitting at the window of the next room and looking at the surrounding scenery.

"It's too dangerous, please come in, if there's anything you want to see, I'll take you to see it myself." ā€

Count Camp was sweating profusely, and he tried to peek out of the window, but found that he was not fit for the task.

He wanted to call the guards in to help, but he was afraid that this would scare Shaanna and hurt her.

"Shaanna just wants to be quiet here for a while. You don't have to worry about me. ā€

Shaanna finished speaking, and looked down at the pedestrians on the street below.

She frightened the Count so much that he almost screamed, but fortunately he held back, otherwise it would have been troublesome for the little girl to let go.

"That's right!

I know there's a good place nearby that might be of interest to you. ā€

The quick-witted Earl was in a hurry and thought of a good place, which was originally the place he had planned to take the little girl.

The little one was indeed intrigued, but quickly tilted his head back.

"That place is said to allow you to see the people you miss~"

The Count deliberately lengthened his voice.

This time the little girl was really attracted, and she stared at the Count with wide eyes,

I want to confirm the truth of what the other person is saying.

"Lord Shaanna! I vouch for my character. I'm telling the truth. ā€

Count Camp patted his full chest with his ringed right hand.

Shaanna nodded in agreement,

Under the count's jaw-dropping, sweaty gaze,

She nimbly climbed back from the next window to where the Count was.

The Count hurriedly reached out to help Shaanna get back into the house.

Twenty minutes later,

Count Camp took Shaanna in a carriage to the foot of a large stone tower.

There are some huge tents around the stone tower,

Quite a few people are coming in and out.

The Earl of Camp took Shaanna into one of the tents,

It is divided into eight small compartments on the left and right, each of which is a small shop.

It sells some magic materials and magic items.

At the end of the tent, there is a passage that leads directly under the gate of the stone tower.

The stone tower has a total of seven floors, ordinary tourists can only play and visit on the first floor, and the owner of the tower must be obtained above the second floor to go up.

Count Camp informs the magical apprentices who are guarding the stone staircase and asks for a message to be passed on to the tower's owner.

Soon the apprentice came down from above and let the other guards let him go.

"The master is on the top floor, you have to make some effort to go up on your own. ā€

The apprentice who passed on the word said as he looked at the figure of Count Camp.

Count Camp did not blame the apprentice for being unreasonable to himself, he nodded his head in thanks,

Then make a gesture to ask Shaanna to go first.

"Lord Shaanna, please first!"

Shaanna couldn't wait, and she was gone at a trot.

"Ah~?Lord Shaana!

Slow down, don't fall.

Also, please wait for me!"

Count Camp struggled to lift his legs and began to climb with difficulty.

When he finally reached the top of the tower, the owner of the stone tower was having fun with Shaanna.

Seeing the panting and sweaty Count of Camp, Shaanna excitedly said to him:

"Fat uncle! This grandfather is so good! He actually knows Shaanna's name. ā€

The grandfather Sha Anna said was the owner of the stone tower, a black-robed and white-haired old man who was hundreds of years old.

When the old man saw Kemp's first sentence, he scolded:

"Kemp, do you still have a face?"

Count Camp replied with an innocent expression on his face and a sad face:

"Master, didn't you forgive me a few years ago?

The old man snorted heavily at Kemp's feet, and said angrily:

"Phew, don't call me master. I don't have you as an apprentice.

When did I say I forgave you?!

But I'm angry when I see you now! This little girl is your child?"

Camp was speechless at the old man in front of him, but he couldn't show it on his face.

"Master, Mistress Shaanna is not my child.

She is the child of one of my bosses, and I am temporarily entrusted to take care of her for a while. ā€

Kemp suddenly remembered what Shaanna had just said to him.

"By the way, Master, you just used the mind-reading technique on Lady Shaana?"

Looking at Camp with an anxious face, the old man replied very calmly:

"yes! What's the matter? You're still going to beat me?"

Camp really had a love-hate relationship with this old man, but his expression was instantly serious:

"Master, you can't use mind-reading on me!"

The old man stared at Camp with wide eyes and said:

"What? You really want to do it with me, believe it or not, I use soul reading!"

Kemp's expression became even more nervous.

"Master, what am I doing! Stop, I'm not dead yet!"

When Camp was sure that the old man had stopped casting spells on him, he exhaled the breath he was holding in his mouth.

Just as Camp and the old man were about to sit down to catch up, they both turned their heads in surprise to look at Shaanna, who had been left out in the cold.

"Put it down, little girl!"

"Lord Shaanna!

At this time, Shaanna was holding a magic scroll in her hand, and was about to unfold the scroll to check the pattern inside.
