Lewis took Lance's servant nameplate, and at Lance's suggestion, he converted a total of 160 magic stones worth of materials into 100 magic stones and 30 resource points.

One hundred magic stones were given to Lance on the spot, and the thirty resource points were stored in his nameplate.

"Go back. These 100 magic stones are enough for you to get rid of your status as a servant. Lewis pointed out enthusiastically, "You go to [Fagan Cave] and find an old fellow named Fagan." He's in charge of the work of our Crimson Castle's servants transferred from Feisheng, and you say that Lewis asked you to come, and he doesn't dare to make things difficult for you. You still have the snake curse on you, right? Fagan old guy can solve it, except for the old dwarf, he is good at lifting the curse. ”

"By the way, you did me a great favor even though you didn't mean to. For the sake of the Amber Ring, I'll give you ten more resource points for free as a private person!" Lewis said happily, "Make good use of these resource points, these things are more valuable than magic stones." In many cases, even if you have a lot of magic stones, they may not be able to exchange them for resource points!"

Lance politely thanked Lewis, then took the nameplate and quickly left the Wind Dragon Canyon under Calcius' murderous gaze.

Lewis's attitude and reaction fully confirmed that he was doing the right thing. Although the puppet core of the Thunder Beast came from the wrong way, the upper echelons of the Crimson Castle may not be able to find out, no matter what, Orion is just a wizard apprentice, and he shouldn't have that much energy.

......

Lance boarded the familiar bone train and returned to the gloomy Crimson Castle.

Looking at the gloomy buildings in the Crimson Castle, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. In just two weeks, he felt as if years had passed. Especially when he first entered the puppet city, he killed the scarecrow, killed the Spartan spider, escaped from the murderous house in a hot air balloon, robbed the hooknose, entered the secret garden, and snatched the ticket as the hooded man and sold it for a good price...... All of this is thrilling enough to make a person linger for a lifetime.

The identity of the hooded man, only Ellie Jie knows, and the rest of the people, the Rainbow Island apprentice who sold the hood to him, may have guessed some. However, Lance felt that there was no such coincidence in this world. There are a lot of people who use hoods as a cover, not to mention that those who enter the puppet city may not all be able to get out alive in the end, and their own affairs should not have much impact.

It's a pity that Lance has never known the way, because of the Rambo Union, his every move in the puppet city has been talked about by the entire Ferendor!

People are speculating about what the hooded man is, what is his origin, and which wizarding organization he belongs to......

Only Lance himself was still unconscious.

Following the signs, Lance weaves his way through the gloomy castle. He descended a spiral staircase and stopped by an underground river.

Following the direction of the flow of the underground river, he came to a deep cave.

There are two stones in front of the cave, and in the middle of the stone is a small wooden sign with a crooked word: "Fagan Cave".

"This is it. ”

Lance walked in without hesitation. Everything that followed went very smoothly. With Lewis's name for help, old Fagan seemed very enthusiastic. He quickly completed all the formalities for Lance, and also gave Lance a ninety discount on his tuition, only ninety magic stones.

As for the curse of the viper, with Fagan's help, it was also quickly lifted.

Watching the hideous pattern disappear from his wrist, Lance only felt an indescribable lightness.

"Old dwarf......" He couldn't help but flash the hateful image of the old dwarf in front of him, although he has now got rid of the status of a servant by his own efforts, but the hatred for the old dwarf is half reduced. He and Pansas the vulture are both responsible for Lance's strayed entry into the Crimson Castle.

Otherwise, with Amman's letter of introduction, Lance can successfully land on Rainbow Island and become a publicly-funded student of Rainbow Island!

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, from now on, you are a self-funded student in our Crimson Castle. This is your new nameplate, which contains some basic information about you, as well as forty resource points. Old Fagan said enthusiastically: "Within a week, you can choose the direction of your further study." Depending on the direction of study, you can identify your mentor within two weeks. Of course, if you don't want a mentor, that's fine. However, the role of the mentor is generally very large. And for their own apprentices, the instructors tend to be cheaper when they pass on their knowledge. And when it comes to spell guidance, it is impossible for a person who is bored to teach himself to obtain a spell rune that is too good. To obtain improved spell runes, you must deal with your mentor. ”

Apprentices at Crimson Castle, both self-funded and government-funded, have a mentorship system. Every week, each tutor has to set aside half a day to give their students a [tutor class]. The atmosphere of the tutor class is generally more free, the tutor and the students talk freely, and it is usually the time for the apprentices to ask questions to the mentor who is a second-level wizard. In addition to the tutor class, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoon, it is a public class.

The public class is completely chosen by the wizard apprentices, and the twentieth of each month is the day of selection, after which the class can be held smoothly starting on the first Tuesday of the next month. Generally speaking, whether it is a beginner or an advanced apprentice, when you first enter the Crimson Castle, you must decide on a direction of study. Choosing a tutor according to your own direction of study is a more reliable choice.

After all, if you choose a blood mage as a mentor, but your direction of study is a necromancer, then the blood mage mentor will not be able to give you more guidance in terms of spell learning and knowledge training. Starting from the second-level wizard, the profession began to diverge, and the direction of further study was different, and the spells, fields and knowledge that the most advanced ones were good at were very different.

Therefore, when choosing a way to study, wizard apprentices must be very cautious.

Judging from Fagan's reaction, it is not difficult for Lance to guess that the mystical mage named Lewis should have a good position in the castle - otherwise the Crimson Castle would not have sent him as a material buyer for this trip to the puppet city.

After taking his nameplate and asking old Fagan some more daily questions, Lance left Fagan Cave.

He walked briskly along the underground river, according to the map of the fox's memory, to the apprentice's quarters.

The Crimson Castle has a high-pressure policy in the management of its servants, but it is very lenient in the management of its apprentices. Whether you are a self-funded student or a public student, Scarlet Castle offers free accommodation. More humanely, the castle allows apprentices with financial resources to live outside of the castle quarters.

It's just that the safe area of Ferendor, also known as the "Inner Ring" by wizards, is mostly the property of the three major wizarding organizations. If you want to buy a house to live in the inner ring, it is not cheap. At least ordinary wizard apprentices don't have that kind of financial resources, and they are usually people from wizard families, so they will live in the inner ring. It is close to the Wizard's Emporium and is the heart of the whole of Ferendor.

The apprentice quarters are located in the northeast of the castle, and in Lance's eyes, the scarlet castle predecessors have built their house on the slope of a high mountain to the northeast, which is one of the few places in the castle complex that is exposed to the ground and has a high altitude.

Lance walked for about half an hour, and even used the swiftness attached to his belt to reach the apprentice's quarters.

The dormitory area is very spacious, and it seems to be the time for class, and the place is empty and sparsely populated.

Lance didn't bother to deal with others, so he found the concierge in charge, an old lady named Ulrika, and after going through the simple formalities, he got his own exclusive room.

"Coral Cave, room 09. Ulrika assigned him a round card based on Lance's nameplate.

"Remember the spell of the coral cave, or you'll be locked out. The old lady warned, "I've seen quite a few stupid apprentices trapped outside their rooms on snowstorm nights in winter. Hopefully you won't be one of them. ”

"The mantra is: Dinner in Sivara doesn't live up to its name, but the cherry blossoms there are superb. ”

"This is your room card, and if you lose it, you'll have to spend two magic stones to get it replaced. ”

Lance thanked the old lady for her advice. He traversed the mountain path for a while, and finally found an arched door.

The arched door was carved into the belly of the mountain, and when he saw Lance coming, he jumped violently and rushed up the mountain. The arched door screamed as it ran, "There's another goddamn freshman, and I'm not going to open the door for free for you unless you treat me to an ice cream." ”

Lance laughed hoarsely, and he exclaimed, "The dinner in Sivara doesn't live up to its name, but the cherry blossoms there are really superb." ”

In the next second, the arched door was immediately pulled back by an invisible force.

"Crunch!" there was a tooth-aching sound, and the door opened.

Lance strode in. It is a bright and spacious tunnel. On both sides of the tunnel, a room appears at intervals.

Soon, he found his room 09.

The room was unusually spacious and had a huge skylight. The sun shines in from above, and the feather hammock looks exceptionally clean. There is a writing desk on one side, a hanger and a private bathroom on the other.

"Wow!" said Lance in the empty room.

The environment here is really good. Far beyond his expectations. The treatment of regular students and servants is simply very different.

He relaxed and lay down in the hammock, and the fatigue of the past few days swept over at once, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

......

This night, Lance slept for a day and a half.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that he woke up.

After washing his face, Lance regained his spirits. The trip to the puppet city is a thing of the past. Now he has to adjust his condition in time and make a careful plan for his future.

Most importantly, he must choose an advanced direction.

"What kind of mage should I advance?" Lance sat on his desk, flipping through the relevant materials he had taken from old Fagan.

Blood Mage, Necromancer, Mystic Mage, or something else......
