Chapter 9: Psyser's Bounty
It's a one-bedroom apartment, and while it's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a mansion, it's very sophisticated and elegant. Facing the living room, Leo first touched the real yĆ n table, which was very strong, and the countertop seemed to be coated with an anticorrosive film, and the quality was even higher than Byron's. But unexpectedly, there was not a single trace of dust on it.
"The brooch came to me many years ago, and no one will definitely live here, is there any magic array here?" With such a guess, Leo looked around, but he didn't find anything, but when he unfolded his spiritual power, he could feel the flow of magic power.
"Hmm, the design is very good, the magic array is directly solidified in the entire building, which will not affect the overall structure, and it is not easy to be found, it is really a high-end product. Leo nodded secretly, and looked at the various utensils again, because he had only studied potions, and most of them did not know anything except for the blender and the magic cauldron, but anyway, he had time, so he was not in a hurry.
Inside the living room was the bedroom, because the door was not closed, Leo had already seen the wide wooden bed, walked over a few steps, stroked the soft velvet blanket on the bed, and before he could finish feeling it, Chubby had already jumped up and occupied the whole bed.
"Hey, it's not right for you to be like this, I found out first!" Leo said helplessly.
"Whew!" the druid snored unceremoniously loudly, curled up in a ball, and arched his head into the blanket.
"You guy......" Leo smiled wryly, and soon remembered the scene of sleeping on someone's back before, so he had to shake his head and said, "Forget it, I'll cheapen you tonight." Although he is already very close to Chubby, if he wants to sleep in a bed with him, Leo is really a little unacceptable.
In desperation, Leo had no choice but to leave the bedroom and check on other places. I have to say. This house is indeed very good, even the kitchen utensils and tableware in the kitchen are readily available, if it weren't for the fact that there are no ingredients on his body now, he even wants to fry a few dishes to eat, after such a long time, eating bread every day, he has long missed the rich and diverse food environment in his previous life.
When he came to the bathroom, a large bathtub appeared in front of him, and Leo turned on the faucet without much hope, and there was actually water flowing out. And it's lukewarm!
"That's really...... That's really ...... God forbid...... Congratulations......" Leo muttered incoherently, and with a few strokes he took himself off and stepped in without waiting for the water to fill up.
Soaking in the bathtub and feeling the warmth and comfort, Leo suddenly felt that his new life had begun to change for a better time, if there was another cold beer.
............
Five days later, it was close to noon. Leo stepped into the Council of Magic's Kaiyan branch for the second time. With the Dalaran Emblem, the journey in the past few days was not too arduous, so he went here as soon as he entered Kaiyan City, after all, the matter of registering for the exam was the most critical. And counting the time, the pre-selection exams in the Ruhr region should start soon.
This is the standard procedure for the Calente Imperial Magic Joint Examination, where children with relatively good grades are selected from all over the country, and then they are concentrated in Didu Gasville for the exam. Otherwise, they rushed to Gaswell, and it would be difficult to arrange even the headquarters of the Magire Society, and many poor families. Nor can you afford to travel long distances.
To Leo's surprise, at this moment, the Magior, which should have been deserted, was crowded and unusually noisy, and it seemed that there were at least two or three hundred people, and most of them were adults with children.
"Line up, come one by one, prepare the registration fee, you can report your life, what's the hurry! That one over there, don't cut in line!" A mage apprentice desperately maintained order, but the effect was not ideal.
"These are all here to register for exams?" Leo found himself completely underestimating the appeal of being a mage to the inhabitants of this world. Looking at the long queue, it was estimated that it would not be his turn to sign up today, so he decided to find a hotel to settle down first, after all, he had already entered the city, and there was no need to use the Dalaran emblem again, firstly, to prevent unnecessary trouble, and secondly, he also wanted to compensate for his stomach in the hotel.
Finding a random staff member, Leo asked, "Hello, what is the deadline for registration?"
The staff member replied, "March 15." ā
"What day is the exam?"
"March 18th. ā
"Thank you. Leo nodded, it's March 14th, fortunately he didn't delay too long on the road, otherwise he almost missed the exam time, but if you come to register early tomorrow, it shouldn't be a big problem.
With a plan, Leo squeezed out of the crowd and was about to leave, but his eyes happened to see a few notices at the door, because he was so focused on signing up when he first came that he didn't notice this.
Curious, Leo walked over, only to find that the notices turned out to be some kind of bounty, but not a specific task, but some academic problems.
"The Weston family's Lady Millland offered a reward of 1,000 gold coins for the specific operation method of extracting the core of the Spark Grass without harming the stem. ā
"Mr. Bolton Wernick offered a reward for a bottle of high-grade strength potion on how to deal with the foul smell of the "misty paste". ā
Leo looked at them with a smile, although he didn't know how to solve all the rewards, it didn't prevent him from liking this kind of classical way of exploring knowledge. But when he saw the last one, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"His Excellency Pusher, the chairman of the Caytic Rock Branch, has offered a reward for a magic item of excellent quality, planting 20 trees, 4 for 1 row, how many lines can be planted at most? ā
When participating in the math festival before, Leo used this question to embarrass Pusher, and gave 18 lines of drawing, but he didn't expect the other party to directly post a reward and add his own name, which made him a little awe-inspired.
Leo knows, of course, that even the Earth with its high-speed computing equipment is still unsettled on this question, and that the final answer may still be far away.
However, Leo also mastered the 20-line and 23-line drawing method, so he couldn't help but wonder if he should take out the 20-line drawing method first. However, he didn't come for any magic items, because the teacher once said that try not to use magic items in the early stage, if it forms dependence, it will not be beneficial to the future development, in fact, Leo is just infected and simply wants to complete this bounty.
However, before he could make up his mind, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the entrance of the Magi's Council: "Leo, you're here!" (to be continued......
