Horn also cheerfully gave them one. Exchanged for 100 gold coins and 2,900 gold coins. After inquiring about the location of the hotel, I left the jewelry store.

After finding the hotel, Horn asked for a relatively clean room. After freshening up, I went to the boss and asked the owner where the college opened by Dupont Piersberg was.

When the boss heard Dupont's name, he looked at Horn and asked, "Your Excellency is going to learn martial arts, right?"

"Yes, do you know how to get around?"

"You know, who doesn't know the academy opened by Dupont, it's quite famous...... the boss said. When he said "quite famous", his tone was a little disdainful.

Horn couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"

The boss pouted and said, "It's not interesting, the first college is named after DuPont, called DuPont College." Second, the academy is indeed quite well-known, and there is nothing in Helki City that is not known. Third, if you want to enter this academy, you only need to have money, even if your qualifications are rotten, it doesn't matter. Fourth, the fees of the college are not ordinary and expensive, and you have to be mentally prepared. ”

When Horn heard this, he probably heard all of this, and said, "I've heard of these, but I don't know how expensive DuPont College fees are."

The boss smiled mysteriously and said, "You must be out of town, right?" Since you're going to DuPont College, you'll know how expensive it is when you go in. ”

After speaking, the boss directly pointed out the location of Dupont College. Fortunately, the layout of Helki City is simple, as long as you follow the signs, you can find it.

Horn followed the innkeeper's instructions and found his destination without much effort.

Horn stood in front of the door of Dupont College and looked. The college is very imposing, with a sliding masonry fence that occupies an entire residential area, that is, there is nothing in the neighborhood except the college.

The main entrance of the academy is made entirely of precious wood, and it is carved with various myths and legends, mainly heroic stories from the legends of the continent of Cessers. The ground is completely paved with hard bluestone, and the large pieces of bluestone are paved tightly and very flat. The two gates are painted golden, yellow-orange-orange, the same color as gold. There are two sculptures in the doorway. If you look closely, it's not a majestic beast. Rather, it was two cat-like creatures, and it took Horn a long time to see that they weren't the folklore's secluded. Legend has it that this creature has a mouth as wide as a head and limbs like a cat, but it does not have an anus, which means that the creature only eats and does not excrete. This creature is generally described as a creature that brings good fortune and is generally a creature that merchants reveres for the prosperity of business.

Horn couldn't help but be speechless, and thought to himself: "This Dupont is too greedy for money, and the general academy uses some heroes or powerful creatures as decorations and statues to set off the grandeur of the academy." It's good for him to be so naked, and he asks for money clearly.

Shaking his head, he walked over to the door and knocked on it.

But no one came to open the door for a long time.

"Nobody?" Horn wondered. Suddenly, an old voice came from the side: "Hey...... Young people, if you want to go in, come first and buy a ticket.

Horn was stunned for a moment, and looked around. It was discovered that the sound was coming from the corner. When I did it, I saw a small window open in the wall. It's about the size of a human head.

From the outside, an old man in his sixties was lying on a rocking chair made of wild Teng. The old man's face was wrinkled, rosacea, and a mouthful of teeth was falling out almost quickly. I saw the old man glaring at Horn and said, "Did you hear me say pay the money? ”

"yes! I want to come here to learn martial arts. How much does it cost and how does it cost?" Horn said.

"A gold coin," said the old man impatiently.

"A gold coin?" Horn was stunned, this tuition fee was too cheap, too far from what he imagined. Hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that the tuition fee is only one gold coin?"

The old man looked at Horn with his eyes, and asked instead of answering, "You are not from Herki City?"

Horn nodded.

The old man snorted before he said, "You will know how much the tuition fee is." As long as you want to go in here, you have to pay a gold coin first. If you want to go in, pay it quickly, and if you don't have any money, you can go away. ”

Only then did Horn understand that the gold coin of feelings was just an entrance fee, and the tuition fee had to be paid separately. However, the entrance fee for this one gold coin is too expensive. But looking at the old man's impatient appearance, he will definitely not be able to get in if he doesn't pay. I had no choice but to give the old man a gold coin and said, "Give it to ...... Where can I go in and pay the tuition?"

The old man took the gold coins and said impatiently, "You can go in and ask for yourself." After saying that, he pulled a rope next to him. Suddenly, the golden gate creaked, opening a gap.

Horn had no choice but to enter sideways through the gap.

As soon as he entered, hundreds of eyes were staring at Horn.

I saw that there was a large playground inside the door, and the middle of the playground was also paved with bluestone. Hundreds of shirtless youths and teenagers stood in the middle of the playground, holding various weapons and cultivating. Apparently attracted by the sound of the door opening.

Horn was a little uncomfortable staring at them, and smiled at them reluctantly. Then he walked towards a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader. He nodded politely and said, "Excuse me, Your Excellency, where is the registration office?" I want to learn martial arts here. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Horn, pointed to a small bungalow next to the playground and said, "There, do you want to learn from Master Dupont or just come here to learn from others?"

Horn was stunned, not knowing what he meant by the middle-aged man. He asked, "Aren't they all here to learn martial arts from Master Dupont?"

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "You're not from Helki City, don't you even know this?"

Horn shook his head and said, "No, I came from somewhere else to learn martial arts from Master Dupont. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "No wonder you don't know...... If you're sure you're going to learn from a DuPont master, be prepared. With that, he turned to the teenagers and shouted, "Keep practicing."

Horn didn't know why, but he saw that the middle-aged man had already turned around. He didn't dwell on it, and walked straight towards the hut.

This cottage is simple and also made of wood. Horn pushed open the door to the hut, and there was a middle-aged man sitting inside, flipping through the ledger.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the middle-aged man looked at Horn and said, "Sign up?"

"Yes. I want to learn martial arts from Master DuPont, how much does it cost?" Horn said.

"Are you sure you're looking for Master DuPont? and not anyone else?" said the middle-aged man, looking at Horn strangely.

Horn said helplessly, "Isn't this the academy opened by Master Dupont?

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, you see that there are so many people outside, how can Master DuPont teach them." There were other teachers, but they weren't on the level of Master DuPont. ”

Horn came here mainly to find Dupont to improve his martial arts. Without thinking about it, he said, "I just want to learn martial arts from Master Dupont." ”

Seeing that Horn was so resolute, the middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay." It's up to you. Don't say I didn't tell you that you have other teachers to learn from. Pay the tuition, 5,000 gold coins a year. ”

"What ......" Horn couldn't believe his ears. Although he was mentally prepared for the fact that the tuition fees must be high. But I didn't expect it to be so high. You know, 5,000 gold coins are enough to pay 9,000 people for a year.

"Why? Didn't you hear clearly? Five thousand gold coins a year's tuition, if you don't have any money. You can find another teacher to learn. The highest of these teachers is only fifty gold coins. ”

"A year?" Horn was a little incredulous.

"Yes. You better find other teachers to teach, although their level is not as high as Master Dupont, but they also have about ten levels, and it is not a problem to teach you a low-level martial artist at all. ”

Horn silently, this is too much of a difference. A hundredfold. And he doesn't have that much money, he only has 3,000 gold coins on him, and that's all his belongings.

At the moment, he tentatively said, "I don't have so much money right now...... Can you charge less? After all, this amount is too high......"

The middle-aged man glanced at Horn and said, "This price was set by Master Dupont himself, if you can't afford it, then leave." He put on a look of refusing to bargain.

"This ......" Horn was stunned for a moment, looking at the appearance, there was no room for bargaining. He asked relentlessly: "Then can I pay half a year's tuition first, that is, two thousand gold coins, and I will pay the rest later?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, he hadn't encountered a situation like Horn yet. Generally, the people who come here to find DuPont are rich people, and basically all of them pay their tuition fees. After thinking about it, he said, "There is no example of this, but Master DuPont didn't say that he could help you ask, is this okay, you are here tomorrow, and I will give you an answer." ”

Horn nodded, it was the best, at least there was a chance. It would have been too difficult for him to scrape together two thousand gold coins in this unfamiliar place.

At that moment, he took out five gold coins from his pocket, stuffed them into the middle-aged man and said, "Then trouble you, I hope you can convince Master DuPont that this little meaning is your hard work." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, smiled, and pretended to excuse himself and said, "Don't be so polite, this little thing is nothing...... Besides, Master Dupont may not necessarily agree. ”

"You're welcome, no matter whether Master Dupont agrees or not, I don't want to let you trouble you so much, so you can accept it. "Horn gave the gold to the middle-aged man.

After the middle-aged man pretended to excuse himself, he reluctantly accepted the gold coin. Although the middle-aged man handles thousands of tuition fees every time, but they are not his own, his salary here is only thirty silver coins a month, and now the five gold coins given by Horn are really a lot. After Horn said he wanted to leave, he went all the way to the gate before returning to the cabin.
