Hearing the congratulations, Joss smiled back, just like Roman at the beginning, with a faint indifference.

When Roman took his seat, he asked William, "Is there anything wrong with bringing us together?" ”

William, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly became lonely when he heard this, and he said in frustration: "Guys, this may be the last meal we will eat." ”

Joss was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong?" Does the academy force you to die? ”

William shook his head, took a sip of wine, and said, "No, I don't think I'm suitable for the wizarding path, so I plan to drop out of school, go home to get a piece of territory, and become a nobleman for the rest of my life." ”

Joss and Roman fell silent, not knowing how to comfort William, both of whom were second-level apprentices, and whatever they said was like showing off.

At this time, Roman thought for a while and asked, "I heard that if you drop out, the academy will not cover pick-up, and you will have to cross the Mana District by yourself, are you sure?" ”

William nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, thanks to Roman, I have accumulated a lot of magic stones and hired a few third-level apprentices to escort me, so I don't have to worry about safety." ”

At this time, Joss poured William wine, and then raised his glass and said:

"A philosopher once said that man is the measure of all things, we are born free, success can only be defined by ourselves, the path of a wizard is not for you, it is wise to give up, I believe you can go out of your own way."

"Thank you, Josie!" William was so moved that he immediately drank it all.

Roman turned his wine glass and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it's okay to leave, and the province will stay as cannon fodder." ”

Joss was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by cannon fodder?" Is there going to be a war? ”

William also looked puzzled: "No, didn't we just win?" ”

Roman said lightly: "After winning the first game and the second game, the academy blocked the news, I can only say so much, not only William, Josie, you also hurry up and think of a way out." ”

Hearing this, William was moved: "Thank you, my good brother! If you're going to run, run to my house, and I'll hide you. ”

Joss thought for a moment, and then said firmly: "War is a ladder, accumulating military merits, it will be much easier to exchange resources, I decided to stay and seize this opportunity." ”

At this time, William suggested with a wicked smile: "You might as well take advantage of the news blockade now, stock up on some supplies first, and when the war is fought, the price will definitely increase..."

Subsequently, the three exchanged some information, and finally, at Joss's insistence, clinked glasses again:

"I sincerely hope that we can all go our own way."

After the meal, Roman went to the library, recorded all the books about the third-level apprentice with a chip, and thoroughly understood the relevant theories.

All you need to do is find a quiet place to retreat and get promoted.

At this time, Emma sent a text message, Roman had asked her to repay the money several times before, but unfortunately she was busy with subject experiments and lacked skills, and now that the experiment is over, she immediately replied to the message.

In the bedroom, the two met, and Roman handed her a bag: "This is fifteen hundred magic stones, you can confirm it." ”

Emma put it in her hand and flipped it, and said in surprise: "Oh my God! Roman really did it! I'm still thinking about what kind of punishment you should use after you break the contract! ”

Roman shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Then I'll pay back the money as agreed, I'm really sorry..."

"It's okay..."Emma said with a smile, "I'll tell you a piece of news, a bigger war is coming, the academy has begun to restrict access, and it is estimated that there will be forced conscription soon..."

Speaking of this, she paused, wanting to see a frightened look on Roman's face, but she was disappointed, Roman's face was still calm, and he said lightly:

"If I go home with you, I'll be spared, I've already taken the mission to go out."

Emma looked puzzled: "Your name is not on the genius list, why do you have the qualifications to go out for refuge?" ”

Roman yawned and asked lightly, "Why can't I?" Can't you too? ”

Emma pouted and said unconvinced: "Of course I can, because I am a genius, I am not afraid to tell you that in less than three years, I will be promoted to a third-level apprentice, can you compare with me?" ”

Roman yawned again and got up to say goodbye: "I'm so sleepy, I'll go back and sleep first." ”

"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet! Emma said displeasedly, "Are you so rude to a lady?" ”

Roman didn't reply: "The business has been discussed, the rest is nonsense, the wizard's time is precious, so I won't waste it." ”

Joke, by throwing money to get asylum qualification, is he Roman obliged to tell you? What if your wealth is coveted?

So Roman left Emma's bedroom without looking back.

The next day, Roman arrives at the quest counter and hands out the scroll he got from Zimbardo.

After the counter took it, he swept it on the machine, and said in a flat tone:

"Roman Finx, the mission-bearer, has traveled to the Court of Broken Bones to carry out a stealth mission and gather local intelligence... Are there any objections? ”

Roman immediately said no, and at the same time complained in his heart: "Being a spy in the mortal realm? Why send a wizard! This task is also set too distractingly. ”

Subsequently, Roman finished purchasing the necessary supplies and headed to the airport.

Compared with the past, the atmosphere at the airport was a little more solemn, and the uniformed pickets patrolled around, strictly checking the entry and exit credentials of each passenger, and some passengers were even interrogated several times.

Even the airship on the tarmac is different from the past, it is no longer a civilian airship covered with canvas, but an aerial warship wrapped in armor and inscribed with rune witch arrays.

The airship has a huge body and stores a lot of magical power, and through the inscription, it can instantly turn into an aerial gunboat, pouring terrifying firepower into all directions, which is a proper battlefield weapon.

However, Roman frowned, this former air hegemon is now in charge of civil aviation transportation, which shows how bad the security situation is.

This situation caused a lot of discussion among the wizards around him.

"Did you hear that? Just yesterday, thirty civil airships were shot down, losing a lot of supplies and wizards! Now the civilian ships are not allowed to go out. ”

"Oh my God! Is the beacon of life so strong? What about the supplies from the outside bases? Delivered by armed airships? How inefficient! ”

"I heard that it will be fully contracted, concentrate on defending a few strong strongholds, and activate the Poison Cloud Witch Array in the Floating City to create an absolute defense circle."

With the help of the chip, these conversations entered Roman's ears word for word, and he was a little puzzled, the two sides were obviously about the same strength, and the opera house had been prepared for a long time, why would they be so abused?

The conversation between the wizards answers his questions, and the Beacon of Life has developed a flight-capable mutant beast that roams the course in groups and attacks the opera house's civilian airships.

The Principle School is stronger than the wizard's combat power, but it has always lagged behind in terms of mutant beasts, and in the face of flying mutant beasts that come and go without a trace, it is like taking Ying to face the wolf pack submarine with German sticks, and there is no good way for a while.

On the one hand, the opera house stepped up the research and development of mutant beast countermeasures, and on the other hand, it closed civil aviation, shrunk its strongholds, restarted the Poison Cloud Witch Array, and learned from the previous small forces and began to shrink.

Having just occupied the mines, the opera house intends to digest the fruits of victory first, and wait for work to consume the enemy in a defensive battle.

"However, with the weakening of the troops stationed abroad, it is very likely that my airship will have an accident."

On the airship, Roman looked worried.
