Chapter Thirty-Five: Ranch Arrives at the Academy of Eceryta Alone
Early in the morning in the royal capital of Hutton, Ranch got up early and came to the Academy of Echrite alone.
He walked through the station at the entrance of the school and saw the golden light rising from the east, illuminating the entire campus, which couldn't help but make him feel a touch of refreshment and vitality.
Three days have passed since the end of the entrance exam.
Today, Ranch is about to embark on his campus tour.
According to Teacher Teresa's instructions, you can move into the academy after going to the magic academy to redeem the student bracelet.
During this time, both Ranchi and Talia lived in a hotel not far from the Academy, and Talia lived next door to him, and Talia would follow him every day when Ranch went out.
Ranchi had already informed Talia that she would no longer have to protect him in this way when he could move into the very safe Echrita Academy.
Wages are still the same.
Only when Ranch has a question to ask her will he trouble her.
So now Talia has almost regained her freedom like a new life.
No more being Ranchi's bodyguard every day.
There is also a fake identity of the Wilford family.
As long as she is not too public, or goes to a large association to register, she will hardly be recognized.
In just a few months, Talia said goodbye to her wandering life, and even enjoyed a leisure life in the royal capital of Ecricher every day with a generous pension.
When Ranchi and Talia had breakfast together this morning, Talia was in a trance.
It's like retiring.
However, seeing that Taria's life is better, Ranch is also very relieved.
Supporting the elderly master and craftsman is his filial piety.
"Anyway...... Every time I thought about her age, she looked like she would look at me...... Is it a delusion......"
Ranch muttered to himself as he walked down the main road of the campus.
Although the talent magic of lie detection is further upgraded, it may be able to transform in the direction of mind reading.
But Talia should be far from touching the threshold of mind-reading talent magic.
Because in the setting that Ranch knew, Talia didn't have any mind-reading abilities even in the main timeline two years later.
"So, there's nothing to scruple about, and age is not a big deal, so she shouldn't care very much."
Lan Qi smiled with relief and continued to walk towards the old liberal arts building of the Magic Academy.
The plants on both sides are bathed in the morning mist and sun, exuding a fresh fragrance, and there are many flowers on the roadside that Lanchi cannot name, either bright or elegant or strangely shaped.
With the singing of birds, the buzzing of bees, and the murmur of water, he gradually walked from the end of the road into a soft meadow full of flowers, which were built in gardens according to the signs.
After a few minutes of walking.
Lanch finally found the typical Gothic Revival building on the edge of the Magic Academy, with statues and reliefs inlaid on the ancient red brick façade, one of the hallmarks of the campus, the Old Liberal Arts Building of the Magic Academy.
This historic building, once a workshop for magicians to use their whimsical ideas, was maintained and renovated decades ago and began to be used to provide technical services to students in other faculties.
Ranch looked around, but there weren't many students in sight.
It seems that the only people who will be here these days are the new first-year students.
It's early in the morning, and even the door of the old liberal arts building hasn't been opened.
"Oops, it's early...... Forget that everyone here goes to work at nine o'clock and leaves work at five o'clock, not a minute early or a second late. ”
Ranch said regretfully.
He remembered that the working habits of the Ishrites were very different from his.
Many shops close at 5 o'clock, and you have to leave work even if you don't make any money, not to mention the school's service department.
So Ranchi could only stand on the lawn, with his hands folded in boredom, waiting for the staff of the Magic Workshop to come to work.
Think of it as a feeling of the leisure that modern people should have, and sometimes wasting time is a kind of happiness.
"Actually, it's not bad to be a picker......"
Lan Qi looked up at the ancient art-like building in front of him, and felt that the fragrance of flowers, grass, soil and moist air in the garden seemed to surround him, which was quite pleasant.
At the top of the old liberal arts building is a towering tower inlaid with a carved coat of arms of the College of Icerita.
At the bottom of the coat of arms is a silver shield representing the firmness and conviction of the Hutton Kingdom, with a statue of the goddess of fate painted in the center of the shield, holding a laurel wreath in her hand, surrounded by the Holy Radiance of the Cross, and the constellation of the Southern Cross in the background, symbolizing the geographical location of Ecritic College in the southern continent.
The white banner at the top of the school emblem is inscribed with a powerful ancient magic script, which means "We will grow in the respect of future generations".
Just looking at it, Ranch felt his heart surge, as if the last vestiges of early morning sleepiness had been completely dispelled.
He was unconsciously attracted to it, but he didn't know that the seconds had already turned a few times.
"This kind of carving is probably the masterpiece of a generation of master carvers......"
Lanch stood motionless on the grass, staring at the school emblem and muttering.
"Indeed, it was created by the magician Gera Zelt, who graduated from the Academy of Ichrite two hundred years ago, and if you look closely, you will find quite a few of his works in the Academy."
A familiar voice sounded not far behind him, interrupting Lanchi's thoughts.
Lan Qiru woke up from her dream, looked back, and saw a girl with long light blonde hair standing in the garden.
Her appearance, Ranch has the impression that she is Her Royal Highness Vivienne, who had a relationship with her in the examination room and had a bad relationship with her teammate Hubertarian.
Lan Qi didn't expect Her Royal Highness to come so early, but after a closer look, Lan Qi found that with her arrival, soon the faculty and staff of the Magic Academy came to the old liberal arts building to open its doors.
Sure enough, there is such a thing as human affection and sophistication, and there are such things everywhere.
"Your Highness Vivian, I'm sorry I was too engrossed to notice that you were here."
With a slight smile on his face, Lan Qi greeted the princess who had come here to wait at some point.
“……”
Vivien groaned slightly.
She hadn't actually intended to talk to Lanchi in the first place.
Because after the last time she found out, Lanchi's personality is a bit difficult for her to deal with.
He's a bit of a good guy and a little silly, but he's got a brilliant brain.
"What do you think is the difference between this carved school emblem and the craft?"
Vivien didn't say anything first, but looked at the carved school emblem on the top of the old liberal arts building and asked Lanch.
After two meetings, Vivien was convinced that this commoner boy named Ranch Wilford did not have the sense of distance and awe that ordinary people should have for nobles, and he was more like a traveler who had never traveled from a country without aristocratic culture.
Vivien didn't mind, though.
Ranch is indeed a talent full of potential in their country, and he is also very innocent.
She just wanted to talk to Ranchi about this ancient masterpiece on the tower now.
Ranch has always had a unique temperament of a poet, painter and craftsman, which is natural and inimitable.
It's rare to meet someone of her age who might be able to discuss art with her.
Vivien took advantage of this leisure to explore his reality.
