Colin sat in the carriage and stretched lazily.

The fifteen-day journey was finally coming to an end, and he didn't even need to look out, just to hear the sound of music outside every once in a while, and he knew that he had reached Osteria.

Osteria is located in the middle of the western continent, and the capital city of Werner is located to the northeast, so once you enter the principality, you need to drive for another day to reach it.

"Mr. Snape, I've heard that His Excellency Felix has a bad temper."

Harold and Burke sat upright in the carriage, and the closer they got to their destination, the more excited they became, but also the more nervous they became.

Originally, the two of them were sitting in a carriage in the back, but as Werner approached, Colin called them over and told them about the customs of Osteria and the various celebrities.

"Top magicians have some weird personalities." Colin said, "Felix is normal—as long as you don't call him to his face." ”

Although Felix visited Ilya for a while, he naturally couldn't reach it as Harold and Burke and others.

But this time, the official exchange personnel who followed Cohen Snape to Osteria were the only two of them, and they obviously had to be prepared.

Felix is the honorary head of the Elemental Theory Department at the Werner Higher School of Magic, so this time it was nominally an invitation from the Academy, but Colin knew that Felix must be fading him.

"Mr. Snape, I heard that His Excellency Simont, one of the three great magicians of Osterea, has also been working on the research of the energy conversion rate of the Burning Demon Pattern Group, but unfortunately you were the first to get started, will it be ...... this time?"

"Don't think about it, great magicians won't be so stingy."

"Oh."

"I also heard that Princess Veronica of Tulum is also in Werner, I wonder if I can see it this time." Harold grinned and said, "It is said that Her Royal Highness the princess is very beautiful. ”

"We're going for an academic exchange, what princess are we meeting?" Burke's personality is clearly a bit more sedate.

"Not necessarily, I remember that the proof of the fourth conjecture came from the princess." Harold was not convinced.

When Colin heard Veronica's name, he thought of the two-year-long "online dating" between the two.

"By the way, Mr. Snape, Werner is the capital of music, but I don't know much about music, and I only play a few leather drums, will I be disliked by the time?"

"yes, at least learn a few famous local songs." Burke chimed in: "Mr. Snape, you are from Brighton, and you must be very good at art and music. ”

"Hehe......" Colin glanced at the two of them, ignoring them.

……

Werner is located in the northeast of Osteria, and the Doru River, the second largest river in the western continent, passes through the city, dividing Werner into three parts: the inner city, the outer city and the suburbs.

Because of the long-term tranquility, the Western Continent, especially the cities within the Blue Alliance, have not experienced war for a long time, and many cities have even torn down the city walls, believing that it is an obstruction of traffic.

Although Werner still has the city walls, not much has been preserved, only historical and ornamental value remains.

Once in the city, the academy's guards and guides drove the carriage directly to Banner's embassy in Osteria.

Of the 112 countries in the Western Continent, not all of them will establish embassies with each other, and although the Principality of Banner is not a member of the Blue Alliance, its own national strength and important geographical location also allow it to occupy a place in the Western Continent.

"Welcome, Mr. Snape, we've been prepared since we got the news the other day, and we'll be sure to entertain you on the bus."

Banner's ambassador to Werner did not show up, and was reportedly out of office, and was received by an embassy staff member named Joel, a small old man of small stature, with dark skin and wrinkles on his face, and every time he laughed, he showed his yellow and black teeth in the lower row.

"Mr. Joel, it's a pleasure to meet you, but we've booked a place to stay, so please apologize to Mr. Ambassador for me."

Banner was still the Grand Duke and nobles in power, and most of the people in the embassy were from the other side, and although Cohen Snape was warmly welcomed, Colin did not plan to live here in the end.

The other party also seemed to expect this result, and did not keep it too much.

When Colin walked out of the embassy with the others, he found that Felix had come to greet him in person.

"Welcome to Werner." Felix, who had not seen him for more than a month, did not change anything, and hugged him very enthusiastically on the street.

Colin was a little unaccustomed to the meeting etiquette in the middle of the Western Continent, and responded, "Hello, Your Excellency Felix. ”

"I can see that I don't plan to live in the embassy anymore."

"Since it's an academic exchange, I don't want to make it too political." Colin half-truths.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it." Felix was clearly pleased with his decision, and stood in his position, certainly hoping that Cohen Snape would alienate Banner's aristocratic community.

Felix eventually arranged an apartment for Colin and a dozen other people with him, larger and more imposing than the place Colin had rented in Ilya.

It is said that this is still Felix's own private property, but he has never lived in it.

Three-story residential apartments are not very common even in an area like Werner, where magic flourishes and the economy is developed.

In general, the population of this world is not large, and multi-storey buildings are more cumbersome at the technical level, and the necessity is not very great.

"Tomorrow someone from Werner College will come to greet you officially, are you ready to speak?"

According to the agreement, the academic exchange lasted for a few days, and the first stop was the Werner Higher School of Magic.

"It's just a matter of talking about the experience of the paper, there are no special requirements." Despite his confidence in his academic standards, Colin gave such a speech for the first time.

"Of course, especially the paper on water arrow optimization, I heard that you also rejected the nomination?" Felix asked.

"Just pick up your teeth." Colin laughed.

"The Albert Prize has an actual prize of 100 gold francs, and besides, your other paper will not be concluded until at least next year, and no one can say what will happen in between."

Felix said: "You are still on the rise in your academic career, and it doesn't hurt to have more honors. ”

If it weren't for the mission in Elijah, Colin didn't pay any attention to honor or anything, after all, Cohen Snape's identity would not last long, and after completing all the tasks, he would disappear from everyone's sight.

But the 100 gold lang is really a pity.

"Listen to you." He nodded sincerely: "Next time, definitely." ”

Felix: "......"
