Chapter 33: The Academy of Magic
Belch...... Broken promise...... I'm probably going to get fat. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)
However, the dealer is not an adult, so try it again today.
———
Money isn't everything, so you'll need a credit card sometimes......
Who said this famous sentence, Edward has no way of recalling, because it is too popular and direct...... But it is often only this kind of language that is the most correct.
Unfortunately, the civilization of this plane has not yet been able to develop an order that allows the state to borrow money from the people in disguise, so there is no need to save convenient things, and as for exchanging them for platinum coins that weigh only one-tenth of them, of course, it is good, but obviously a lot of time will be wasted, after all, although the area around Hudi Street is prosperous, it is not a commercial area - even if it is, it is unlikely that there will be a place where such a large amount of cash can be exchanged for huàn.
In fact, Edward also had some gold coupons and platinum coins and other things, which could at least offset some of the weight, but after frowning slightly, he finally chose to slowly get out of the car under the surprised sight of the coachman, carrying the leather bag that was two circles larger than a basketball.
After all, for mages, money is meaningless, but gold can also be used as a catalyst and the like...... And the half-elf mage should know the rules, so since he exchanged 5,000 gold coins for himself, maybe there is some deep meaning in this - who knows if those mages have stipulated that they must use physical currency? Carrying these 5,000 gold coins weighing 967 pounds with his bare hands is indeed a very tiring thing, but it is better than untying his trousers in front of the person who charges the fee......
The boy rolled his eyes and cursed to himself a 'wise decision' he had just made.
The dimensional bag is indeed a very convenient magic item, however, Edward knows that this thing is surprisingly brittle, because the enchantments are on the inside of the pocket, and the strength of the bag is about the same as that of a normal pocket...... This was one of the experiences that Edward had used two small barrels of fine wine and a few delicate dishes to get out of the mouth of the magician with the dimensional bag.
But now it seems that the experience is not very good. Even though Edward had only rolled the pocket into his belt, it hadn't reached the panties. It's not easy to access, let alone ...... Even if all the magicians he met later were probably magicians, he was not interested in making such a move to show off his wealth.
Before you know it, the landscape around you is already changing.
The place where the carriage stopped, still far from the door, this academy seemed to remain in most people's rumors forever, even if it was within sight, it still would not let ordinary beings touch it in the slightest, so Edward could only step on the heavy footsteps of gold, and slowly advance towards the door in his vision.
Woody Avenue is very wide, even more than the main trunk of the central street, like the ground of a narrow square, laid with exquisite floor tiles, forming a complex pattern, the buildings on both sides are extremely high, the shape is uniform, the high gables and minarets of the street, supported by bundles of columns, make it like the interior of a religious temple, and the ceiling of the temple is the distant clear sky. Under the pouring of skylight, the layers of attics and doors in the air are exquisitely carved, and the reliefs of patterns and arrangements change into curves and shadows with the approach of each point of distance and the turn of angle.
But at a glance, there was not the slightest figure in this sky-topped hall...... Even when he turned his gaze back, the carriage between the distances of only a dozen paces behind him began to become indescribably blurry and silent. Between heaven and earth, between the streets and alleys, there seems to be an invisible door, and with this as the boundary, the whole romance seems to be isolated in another world.
So quiet, so profound...... But the real door is still at the far end of the line of sight.
Although he had looked closely at it from a distant and distant place, when the huge door finally came so close, Edward realized that it was different from the memory of the Being—the door framed by two towers that were three hundred feet tall seemed to be much smaller than the illusion, but just by touching it, the field of vision seemed to have been occupied by the grand Being, captured, making his heart beat faster and his body trembling slightly......
Either because of the innumerable subtle or grand patterns carved and poured around the door, the perfect fit of metal and stone, and the air condensed into a faint flow around it, or the almost round carvings of dragons and gods, demons and monsters, peaceful or hideous, devout and roaring......
Edward took a deep breath, trying to soothe the heartbeat that was shaking with excitement and surprise, but he still felt a fiery mass burning in his nerves—even though reason was sneering at him and telling him that stepping through this door could not be like the characters in his memory, and he could not call the wind and rain and scatter beans into an army, but success was still made of an invisible one, from joy, from excitement, from complacency, Something made up of greed or curiosity, something inexplicable, filled his brain, making him want to shout loudly.
But that's stupid...... So he stopped, took a deep breath, and then lowered his gaze, no longer observing the things on the door, and between the flow of his spirit, the self-hypnotic control was like ice water to extinguish the fire in his heart, and then he moved forward again. Although there is still a little irrepressible excitement in his heart, he has completely stabilized and has not wavered.
After steady, his thinking became broad, and there was still a long way to go, so he habitually began to think again...... Less formal, disordered thinking.
For example, when you go to a magic academy, you give him a predetermined impression......
There is a group of strange hairy boys, talented, stupid and rich, pretentious, elusive or accomplished, I wonder if there will be a hero who defeated the Great Demon King when he was ignorant, whether some of them will compete for hegemony on the top of the continent, or if there is an errand runner who will eventually ascend to the throne...... Like to play with mature and glamorous princesses and push each other down?
The dean had better be an old man, with a pointed hat, a quirky animal, a penchant for crouching in the middle of a pile of books and test tubes, and of course a skull and crystal ball, and a brightly colored robe...... Should it be old-fashioned and stubborn or mild-mannered and pedantic, or should it be so strict that it seems to be evil, keeping the mage's arrogant mystery and not communicating much with ordinary people, lighting a candle and holding a small stick to stir a ghost talisman in the air...... Or is it unscrupulous, lustful, drunkard, and sinful?
Or when these countless strange thoughts turn in his head, the journey will become extraordinarily short, and when he raises his gaze slightly, the gate has become a metal close at hand, and on both sides of the gap, two huge heads, looking down calmly, the gray metal condenses into a scaly-covered body, and the outstretched front paws and wing membranes, as if the next moment will bring a storm of condensed death.
Even though they were stagnant, permanently trapped in that solidification, Edward still couldn't help but breathe deeply, as if he could feel a certain smell of ** from the smooth lines...... Who knows? mages never lack the ability to bind living creatures, and the fact that there are one or two legendary constructed creatures at the entrance of the magic academy is not a myth or two, and it is difficult to do.
"Isn't it a secret phrase?" Looking around, seeing that there was still no figure, Edward stared at the great door decorated with a wonderful picture, and thought of another question: "So, should the exam-taker be very forced to push it open?" or politely ...... Knock on it?"
And just as he was hesitating about this question that really needed to be 'scrutinized', the qiē in front of him suddenly changed...... The light and shadow became confused, then distorted, then swirled, and for a moment, it turned into a huge whirlpool, and the air spun like a tide in an instant
After a moment of surprise, Edward had already discovered that the vortex of light and shadow in front of him was not just an illusion - gravity rose, the heavens and the earth turned upside down, and that terrible force suddenly began to tear, and the ground continued to shake at the same time
The young man who was caught off guard was shocked in his heart, and he gathered his spirit and tried to control himself, but the inertial shaking of the big bag of gold made this supposed easy action difficult...... In particular, this momentary change only lasted for a moment. Before he could tidy himself up, the space around him had completely changed, so before he could cope with anything, he stepped heavily on the ground again
Beneath his feet was a verdant meadow, soft and flat, extremely well-manicured, like a good Kyrgyz place in a nobleman's house, a hand-woven carpet, but this did not slow down, the feeling of a change of direction, so Edward staggered two steps, and finally sat down. His legs and feet were sore and swollen from the weight of the weight, and his chest was full of disgust, and he pressed his throat hard so that the sourness did not protrude from his throat
This discomfort quickly disappeared.
Of course, it was not that he received any treatment, but that a stronger stimulus took away his spirit and made him ignore some physical problems.
The intense stimulus comes from the infinite expanse in front of us, the expanse that reaches to the horizon, from the countless shadows in this vastness, which converge into the shape of buildings, and from the strange and indescribable shape of these buildings. If the huge door makes people feel the shock in their hearts, then the scenery in front of them will make people understand the connotation of insignificance and insignificance in an instant—not only their own existence itself, but also the so-called common sense and nature that have been piled up for decades of life.
For example, in the middle of this complex, the huge cube-shaped building...... It was huge, each edge was more than at least a hundred feet, it was so square and square, at least visually, that the angle between the two adjacent edges should be perpendicular - it was undoubtedly a very simple form, and there was no architectural difficulty other than the requirements of the size...... But the problem is that what this standard cube is now used to stand proudly above the earth is one of its sharp corners.
Edward narrowed his eyes and looked at it, as if to make sure that there was some strange transparent material supporting it in the air, but he quickly gave up, because similar buildings that defied the laws of physics abounded within his line of sight—the second-highest building in his field of vision, for example, had a pyramidal base, but with a curved arch, like the fangs of a giant beast rising from the earth, pointing obliquely to the sky.
A little farther away, there was a string of beads, the smallest of which was more than a hundred feet in diameter, and all of them floated in the sky from beginning to end, even moving slightly, spinning in orbits that circled each other.
The new magic apprentice shook his head, although he had long heard that with the power of arcane law, mages could do almost anything, but it was the first time he had seen such a scenery that defied the laws of nature...... See it in reality. Looking at those wonderful and unscientific things, a strange realization suddenly rose in my heart - or maybe because this is the magic academy of the Kingdom of Tumenis...... The first and only magic temple on the mainland, so the first impression it gives people is inevitably subversive, transcendent and shocking.
Then, when Edward lowered his gaze, he noticed a palm.
In fact, the palm may have been in his sight for a few seconds, but it didn't seem to stop him from being surprised, until his gaze turned and a hearty smiling voice came: "The way of teleportation here is a bit ...... It's powerful, but it's okay if you relax. ”
Edward was slightly stunned, and then saw the young owner of the hand with a bright smile on his face, similar to a comforting excuse, which invisibly increased people's favor. So he didn't refuse the other party's kindness and took advantage of the situation to stand up. But he was suddenly stunned - that face with delicate facial features but with a green face, there is some impression in my memory, well, in fact, this voice seems to be very familiar.
That's not the ...... Righteous youth?
Edward blinked, not expecting to meet a layman in such a place. Then he remembered that the other party had not really met him, so he smiled, ready to respond to the other party's kindness, but a sentence was just on his lips, and malice had already arrived from the other side with rudeness -
"Another idiot...... I don't even know what to do if I haven't even tried teleportation spells, but I actually got involved. ”
The voice is not high, there is no specific subject, there is not the slightest element that can be called 'etiquette', only a strong arrogance makes people instinctively disgusted...... Accompanied by a few snickers, which were not surprising, Edward turned his gaze and unsurprisingly noticed that the speaker was also staring at him.
It was a 'magnificent' figure wrapped in a blue robe, the soft robe seemed to be made of fine velvet, light and dark lines slowly drifting over it, and the shadow of the hood covered most of his cheeks, leaving only half of the sharp end of his nose. Thin lips pursed, and a sharp, fair chin, raised at a haughty angle...... The second item exposed from the top and bottom of his body was the palm in his hand, a red gem the size of a pigeon's egg, entwined by dozens of subtle dark branches, and countless subtle textures shimmered like living creatures in timbre, which was obviously also valuable and extraordinary.
If you don't take into account the hint of immaturity hidden in that voice and the corresponding short stature, or to call him a mage, it doesn't raise any objections. But after glancing at it, Edward looked away. He thanked the young man who had tied him up in front of him, and treated similar provocative words as clouds in the sky.
Now is a very important time - so far, all of them have served the premise of entering the Academy of Magic, and Edward is naturally unwilling, and he is too lazy to disrupt his plans at this time.
As for why it is disrupted?
In fact, if it weren't for this place, at this time, this guy in front of him would probably be the most favorite thing for his skinner, Edward, - a fat sheep that would not have to worry for three years if he went down with a stuffy stick. Therefore, he was afraid that he would really not be able to resist the temptation of greed and do some stupid things such as robbery in front of the city government, so he could only restrain himself hard and turn his eyes away.
"The poor applicant is unlucky, but the time is coming. The little guy who didn't know someone's bad thinking sneered arrogantly, and continued to take advantage of his tongue, obviously seeing forbearance and silence as a sign of weakness: "Maybe he probably doesn't know that the registration here can't be done by a servant?"
Edward continued to fall on deaf ears. He's not really a fourteen-year-old, but he also has a mental AT field. As long as he wants to, this little cynicism can't pierce the barrier of his heart at all.
But there seem to be people who don't like to be silent like that.
"If you are interested in magic, you don't have to be a magician. As for age, the Sage of Time, the kingdom ** master Dinak was already a seventy-four-year-old man when he came into contact with magic, and the same ** master Salros was just a barbarian mercenary before the age of thirty...... Magic is a miracle that transcends the rules, and in this world of miracles, it should not be surprising that anything happens......"
The young righteous man turned his gaze to the face of the imp hidden in the shadow of his hood, and narrated in a calm voice, as if to say to himself, as if to teach a lesson: "There is no difference between sticking to such strange rules and judging one's future by one's birth...... Isn't it a ridiculous idea to be a being who aspires to be on the path of magic?"
His voice seemed to be forever loud, and the loudest mocking fellows couldn't help but choke in unison, but Edward on the side was a little speechless and wanted to smile bitterly......
He is a little grateful that others have stood up for him, and the other party's theory is not the slightest wrong, but it seems too uncommon to give examples...... A little bit.
