Section 50 The Red Robe Brotherhood
Lance left the second floor and received the supplies from the caretaker on the first floor for self-financed students - two sets of Crimson Castle apprentice costumes, one for practice, which looked very clumsy in texture, not as good as the staff that Lance had stolen from Danny, and a student handbook for the history of Crimson Castle and related knowledge, with a lot of very important common sense, such as which places are forbidden and cannot be easily entered. Another example is the function of the major buildings in the castle, including the apprentice dormitory area, the study area, the alchemy area, the actual combat area and so on.
In addition to this, there are some bits and pieces that fill a small box.
Lance put the things away and left the apprenticeship management center.
......
It was close to six o'clock in the afternoon, and he made his way through a labyrinth of walkways to the northeast corner of the study area. This is the apprentice cafeteria, which is dedicated to the meals of wizard apprentices.
Due to the time setting, most of the wizard apprentices were still in the classroom at this time, and the flow of people outside the cafeteria was sparse, with only a few people and staff coming in and out.
Lance hadn't eaten well since entering Ferendor. In those days in Puppet City, he ate either dry bread or sauced beef every day, and after a long time, it became a little unbearable.
He walked into the cafeteria and applied for a green fluorite card in front of a clean and bright window. A green fluorite card is worth ten magic stones, and there are a total of 120 food coupons in it, each food coupon can be exchanged for an ordinary food, and delicate rare food requires a more expensive price.
Lance asked the staff about the rules of the cafeteria and walked to the dining area.
At this time, the huge cafeteria was empty, and only a few people stood at the window, as if waiting for something.
"Today's special rare meal: three-eye rutin soup, a total of 10 servings, limited to one per person, with a 5-point food coupon on the price!"
On a huge screen, such words suddenly flashed. Lance looked thoughtfully at the area where the people were standing, and sure enough, he saw the words "Daily Special Price Area" written on the window, which was different from the other windows.
Lance took a closer look and saw that in addition to the daily specials window, there were nineteen common food windows and three rare food windows.
"It turns out that these people are here to grab the rare food at the daily special. Langston understood: "Rare food, it should be relatively expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, so Crimson Castle will launch daily specials, which can be regarded as giving ordinary wizard apprentices some opportunities." ”
"I heard that the rare food provided in the large wizarding organization is very helpful for the growth of magic and the improvement of physical fitness, anyway, it is early today, so it is better to line up and have a look. ”
He counted, and there were only five people in line in front of the daily specials area, while the [Sanmu Rutin Fish Soup] served today was ten. I should still be able to rank up.
So he walked over.
As soon as he walked over, one of the five men shouted, "Today's daily special rare meal has been sold out, you don't have to queue up!"
Lance was stunned for a moment, he looked at the posture of the five people, and suddenly understood something in his heart.
It turned out that he had come to occupy a seat.
However, Lance was not in a hurry, he looked at the staff on the side, all of them looked indifferent, and it seemed that it was not the first time that such a thing as grabbing a special meal had happened. It has even become a convention.
Lance did not retreat, but stepped forward quickly, pretending not to understand, and said, "Yes, but there are only five of you, but there are ten special meals." ”
When the long-haired male apprentice heard this, he suddenly showed a strange look. The man behind him let out a burst of laughter.
"This kid just arrived, right?"
"Definitely, it wouldn't be so stupid. ”
After the long-haired man had laughed enough, he said viciously to Lance, "Five people? Who said there are only five of us? Do you know how many members we [Red Robe Brotherhood] have? ”
"For the sake of you're new, get out of here. ”
Lance was still calm, he looked at the long-haired man, and said, "Although I am a freshman, I also understand that spells are not allowed in the Crimson Castle except in the actual combat area. Why are you going to let me go?"
The long-haired man flashed his fist and sneered, "I don't know if I'm alive or dead, although spells are not allowed in the castle, but there are five of us, which is enough to beat you into a pig's head." If you don't want to be thrown down the drain, give me some peace!"
The rest of the people immediately surrounded them, five in all, and they faced Lance with a menacing attitude.
An apprentice waiting for the meal on the side kindly reminded: "Hey, boy, there are many people in the red-robed brotherhood, you have just entered the school, it is better to keep a low profile and don't provoke them." ”
Lance nodded at him and thanked him.
At this time, Tuesday's public class ended, and a large number of apprentices poured out of the study area, hurrying to the cafeteria.
The five members of the Red Robe Brotherhood immediately stood back at the special meal window, revealing fierce and vicious expressions one by one.
Lance frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
When the apprentices who had just come over saw this scene, they couldn't help but wail depressedly one by one: "It's the people of the Red Robe Brotherhood again, and today's special meal is out of play again!"
"Hey, look at it, the specials have nothing to do with us. His companion comforted.
"But we came here as soon as we got out of class, and we didn't ask any questions we were going to ask before......"
"Hey, forget it, let's just eat some normal food. ”
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, but the first batch of apprentices who poured into the cafeteria did not come forward to line up very interestingly.
However, at this moment, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Lance walked over.
He came to the window of the special rare dining area, only a few steps away from the five people of the red-robed brotherhood.
"Damn, boy, you're looking for death, aren't you?!" the long-haired man was completely annoyed.
Everyone stopped and looked at Lance with some concern.
The noisy cafeteria suddenly fell silent.
Lance said calmly, "I just want to have a meal. ”
"There's no place for you here!" a tall man stepped out from behind the long-haired man and shoved Lance.
Lance, however, seemed to be prepared, and took a slight step back.
The tall man pushed into the air, and suddenly became a little annoyed. He sneered: "Although according to the regulations, I can't use spells to teach you, but no one will care if I beat you up." ”
With that, two other men pounced on the tall man. Seeing that they looked familiar with the road, it was obvious that for the sake of this special meal, they beat up a lot of civilian apprentices who had no power.
The apprentices who had just finished class just watched indifferently from the sidelines, many of whom had been bullied by the people of the Red Robe Brotherhood, who had been beaten up when they had not understood the rules and were alone, and now they saw that the followers had repeated the same path as them, and their hearts were suddenly balanced, and they even speculated maliciously whether this guy in front of him who did not know whether he would be beaten to the point that he could not get out of bed for a few days.
After all, although the physique of wizards is not bad, it is still much worse than the profession that specializes in physical training.
Some well-intentioned people just looked at Lance worriedly, the Red Robe Brotherhood was extremely powerful among the apprentices, it was one of the few organizations among the apprentices of the Crimson Castle, and several of the leaders were very strong - rumors even had second-level wizards. They didn't dare to help Lance, and it took a lot of courage to even persuade them.
And in the wizarding world, strength is the only thing to rely on. Big fists are the last word.
The three of them pressed over in all directions, and the long-haired man sneered at all this, as if he had seen the scene of Lance being beaten into a pig's head.
"It's been a long time since I've beaten someone, but this kid sent it to the door by himself. The long-haired man thought to himself, "It's okay, every once in a while, we have to show the power of our brotherhood, which is also what Mason Boss specially ordered." ”
"Boy, I see where you're hiding...... tall man rolled up his sleeves with a hideous face and swung his fist over!
In the spacious cafeteria, there was a burst of exclamations!
In the next second, a tall and thin figure suddenly leaned back—followed by a strange force that made his body freeze in the air.
Between the lightning and flint, Lance kicked the tall man in the stomach and flew him backwards.
