A few days later, Homemon Watts' list of reference books was sent to the Larmore House. Students from aristocrats to ordinary students, as well as special students, all went to Homemon Watts' property in Bayerland.
College Road purchases the teaching materials for its own courses. Most of the freshmen major in magic and must complete at least twenty required and elective courses each semester.
This is quite expensive, and each new book can keep an average person alive for at least a week. Some professors even adapt a new book every year...
The main school of Homon Watts was established in a small town in the northern province of Beyeland. Only some institutions and industries remain in the urban area of Beyeland. The college's motto "All men are created equal" is engraved at the entrance of College Road. Here is Homon Watts.
Watts' property in the city of Bayerland. Neither male nor female servants are allowed to enter without special permission.
Except for store owners, ordinary people who are not extraordinary people are not allowed to enter.
From the moment they step into the Homemonworth property, the heirs of the noble family, who consider themselves to be more equal than ordinary people, can only rely on themselves.
Like the High School of Magic they are about to enter, in a place where social class has been greatly weakened, the heirs of noble nobles face academic pressure (cannot cheat) and worry about the social environment (no one is around them) just like ordinary young people.
, even dealing with daily affairs (getting dressed) has become an unprecedented challenge. For many girls, how to carry textbooks as thick as bricks to the express delivery center is a serious problem.
However, the noble disciples have their own solutions.
That is the Shutoral companion cavalry. Only a truly famous family can select a qualified Shutoral and be able to afford his cost.
Decades ago, a great nobleman who was bullied on campus during his student days suggested to the principal that those blood tax collectors who had made significant contributions to the security and prosperity of the kingdom should be included in the newly built military command section of the academy.
Every selected young officer cadet is eligible to apply to enter this comprehensive college after serving on the front line for two years. They take the same required courses as other students, and at the same time they can complete courses for advanced military command studies.
The learned principal did not discover the true purpose of this move at first. After all, in terms of diversity, education and social needs, this was a great suggestion. Until he discovered the strong, loyal, and indomitable Shutoral
The boys and girls are all loyal vassals to their masters...
In this school that weakened the social class and strengthened the value of learning, sports and appearance, Shutoral was immediately welcomed by the professors and students, and with it, a network of honorable disciples and their Shutoral was formed.
Small circles with Lal as the core.
By the time the directors of Homemonworth discovered this problem, they were powerless. Some of the directors thought this was such a genius idea that they not only tried their best to obstruct any reform measures, but also sent away all their heirs and vassals.
Come in.
…
In addition to thick textbooks, customizing a wand is particularly important for freshmen in the magic department.
If the caster wants to save a lot of tedious formations and chants, he must hold a wand and set commands in advance. It would be better to have a wand.
When using magic spells, the preset commands can shorten the chanting time, and only a few simple phrases can activate the magic spell. When the strength is not much different, just capture or remove the opponent's wand/staff to be in a necessary situation.
Wonderful place.
It is said that there were once two noble demigod mages who fought over each other's staff during a duel. Because each other had extremely high magic resistance and sufficient defense measures, the final scene became like two holding
It's the same as beating up gangsters with wooden sticks.
But this had nothing to do with Griffith. The wand meant less to Shutoral than a pair of chopsticks. After ordering a wand for Sonia, Griffith followed her to the officially designated bookstore.
""Introduction to Magic", "Basic Alchemy", "Basic Charms", hmm, I can do it! "Potion Science Experiment", eh..." Sonia happily took down the beautifully bound new books from the bookshelf and handed them over.
To Griffith who was following behind, "Griffith, don't you take your own book? Is it too heavy?"
The trainee knight staggered behind the blond girl with half a person's height of professional textbooks and guidance books, and poked his head out of the pile of books, "My elective courses are different, Miss Sonia. And the new books will affect my salary."
It’s too expensive, I’ll go to a used bookstore later.”
"Hmm~" Sonia didn't expect this question, "You can put it in my account!"
"Thank you for your kindness, miss," Griffith smiled and shook his head, "However, the practice of cultivating Toral is that using the master's fees will disrupt your financial planning. This is also one of our required courses."
"Okay, okay~" Sonia lowered her jewel-like eyes slightly, "Then~ don't call me miss anymore! Just call me Sonia. In a few days we will be classmates."
"Your will is my action," Griffith swallowed back the word "Miss" that jumped to his lips, "Sonia."
After buying textbooks for Sonia, Griffith handed the pile of books to the courier company, and they would be responsible for returning them to Larmore Mansion. The count's daughter happily went to a street cafe to rest with a few girls.
, the remaining time can be left to the trainee knight, as long as she comes to pick her up at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Used bookstore...used bookstore..." Griffith walked around the crowded street several times and finally found his target at a corner.
The three-story gray building is filled with books of all kinds. There is not even a staircase to go upstairs. The bookstore owner has to use a small ladder to climb up and down.
"Introduction to Magic, General Occultism..." Griffith first reported the required course books to his boss, and then listed his own professional course books, "Elementary Infantry Command Doctrine, Standard Fortress"
, "Introduction to Standards Staff."
"Oh, Shutoral! Welcome!" the tall and thin shopkeeper responded in a happy tone, "Needless to say, I know what you want? Is it the same every year? Would you like a copy of "The Origin of the Blood Tax" written by Dan Dong
", this booklet is very popular."
"No need...I still know myself quite well."
At this moment, the store door opened, and a group of boys and girls rushed into the bookstore like a whirlwind.
"See! (Only 2 silver coins!)" The leader was a pair of tall boys who looked exactly the same, speaking at the same time in the same tone, "The remaining money can buy a lot of strange-flavored beans. (Don't
Forgot to give us a little as payment!)”
The twin brothers said in a cheerful and cheerful tone: "Hurry up and get Mr. Aaron a set of freshman textbooks. (It can't be old books that are offline, it's better to have notes!)"
"Aaron?" the bookstore owner exclaimed, "Aaron Lundylus? My God, you look just like your dad when he was a kid."
As he spoke, Aaron had already arrived in the bookstore. Although he was wearing a low-key coat, his soft and delicate blond hair was the color of the sun, his skin was smooth and delicate, like a girl, his tall nose and handsome profile were comparable to those in the theater.
Star, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of blood-red eyes, which seem to have a soul-stirring power.
"Gods in heaven, how could I have such an honor!" the second-hand bookstore owner shouted in a joyful tone as if he was about to give him a set for free, "I'm going to give you a 12% discount!"
"Who is this person? He seems to be very famous." Griffith leaned against the bookshelf to avoid being knocked down by the excited classmates.
"Aaron Lundylus, the son of Delen Lundylus, don't you know?" A tall young man emerged from the bookshelf behind Griffith, "Victory belongs to Beyeland."
He was wearing a smart coat and had a sword hanging on his waist. He was tall and well-defined, and his resolute face looked a bit ferocious, but he seemed to be trying hard to suppress the surging power.
"Rana!" Griffiths punched his chest in joy, "Are you also a cultivator of Toral?"
"I belong to Count Chalon and serve Miss Fiona de Chalon. Have you seen her?" Lana is more than half a head taller than Griffith, and is the most feared person in the team.
hussars and berserkers. But now he looks very gentle, even holding a pile of textbooks.
"I have already met Miss Sharon, and we were scheduled to meet up later." Griffith replied, "They seem to have some activities that they want us to participate in."
Lana handed a pile of books to the shopkeeper to check out, nodded and said:
"It seems that Fiona asked me to bring a weapon.
"Speaking of Aaron, he was the only one who was able to survive the record-erasure punishment fifteen years ago, even though he was only one year old at the time. He couldn't understand how. There may be many secrets hidden in him,
Keep an eye out while we're at Homemonworth.
"In addition, Aaron means the favor of the Holy Light, and his family name Lentilus means winner. Judging from his experience, his family is indeed favored by the gods."
"Interesting names, you actually understand the etymology of these names," Griffith praised, "You are really knowledgeable."
"Isn't this a matter of course? We will become officers and heraldic officers of the Lord's family after we train in Toral. This is our compulsory course," Rana shrugged, "If you want to know more, I can lend it to you.
a book."
Griffith couldn't help but cast his eyes on the boy who became the topic of conversation.
In the bustling used bookstore, Aaron stood calmly among the crowd, as if he was an exiled king with a hint of boredom and boredom. The shopkeeper who kept complimenting him and a group of followers around him were talking enthusiastically, and Aaron occasionally
Respond and immediately make them ecstatic.
Those blood-red eyes seemed to have endless power, attracting and devouring the attention of people around him.
Aaron's eyes suddenly looked at Griffith. At the moment when their eyes met, Griffith felt a needle-like impact and touch, as well as powerful mental fluctuations. Curiosity, vigilance and a mixture of strange emotions
Together, he couldn't resist staring at the blond boy with red eyes not far away.
Aaron was staring at him too.
"Let's go," at this time, Lana patted the trainee knight on the shoulder, interrupting his concentration, "it's time for us to join the ladies."
…
After purchasing textbooks and necessary tools, everyone gathered at the entrance of the coffee shop. Sonia took out her magic wand, performed a simple pathfinding technique, and led everyone into the alley behind Academy Street.
I didn't expect it to be so dark and deep here.
For a moment, Griffith wondered if he was lost in the maze of dreams.
The property of Homemworth College of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Bayerland is surprisingly large. Behind the busy shopping street, there is actually a large row of old houses and narrow alleys.
"Are we going the wrong way?~" Fiona asked uncertainly.
"That's right!" Sonia walked at the front, "The place we are going to is in Corner Alley. It is said to be as old as the city wall of Beyelan. Only extraordinary people can find it with the help of specific magic spells or items."
"Okay." Fiona bit her lip and followed Lana.
The silence and darkness around him became more intense, and Griffith seemed to be hallucinating. He always felt that some animal was quietly running past in the darkness that was within reach, or someone was whispering.
He tried to calm down and listen to or perceive these strange movements, but his weak inspiration left him clueless.
Finally, everyone came to a large abandoned house that stood abruptly in a vacant lot. There were a few crooked words written on the tattered door number, like Halloween graffiti.
“Incredible house of wonders.”
Why is there such a shabby house left on the property of Homemon Watts? What are we doing here? Griffith wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't know if it was appropriate.
"This wonderful house appeared not long before the last war, that is, 17 years ago," Isius pointed to the lonely mansion in front of him. "Visitors are said to have a very wonderful experience there, and even retrieve lost memories and memories.
thing."
Griffith looked at Sirtoral Murat next to Isius in confusion. As a result, the blond trainee knight also had a confused look on his face.
Miss Fiona noticed their confusion: "Isius's father, the previous generation Viscount, was killed during an expedition to the south. The head of their family has guarded a secret from generation to generation. This secret Isius heard from his father when he was a child.
I mentioned it before, it’s an important weapon against black magic.”
"My father is an amazing mage, and I will be the same in the future," said the lean Isius. "I was too young when I heard the secret. But with the help of this wonderful house, I can remember it. Not only
It's me. Everyone who enters this big house will think of some special memories or see some kind of scene. Do you know what this means?"
Griffith, Lanner and Murat shook their heads together.
"Control of thinking and memory is the most important ability of the Extraordinary as a spellcaster. Through this, we can mobilize knowledge when needed, complete specific magic configurations and use magic spells," Fiona explained to everyone, "
Before we can advance to Sequence 8 Erudite, we need to complete an exclusive special ritual to recreate a forgotten memory, and we can complete it here!"
"We are here for this," Sonia's sparkling eyes were full of expectation, "Although it is not a necessary ritual for Shutoral in your sequence, it can also improve your mental power and is very good for learning and memory.
Helpful.”
Hmm... The three trainee knights were silent together, feeling that something was wrong.
"Is this mansion a sealed artifact that has not been officially managed?!" Lana suddenly thought about it, "Isn't it illegal to use the sealed artifact privately?"
"Hehe~ Right..." Fiona quickly turned her head to the side.
"This may be dangerous," Griffith said, feeling a huge sense of oppression suppressing his heart. "The sealed object may have unknown negative effects, and it will require a long period of testing before it can be put into practical use."
"With the talents of the three of you, you can complete the promotion ceremony even without the help of this sealed object. There is no need to take risks here." Murat also agreed, "And this sealed object has not been registered and managed, and it may be hiding cultists or darkness.
strength."
Griffith and the others are right~ But in that case, my mental strength will have to be improved step by step, and the practice of the spell after the start of school may not go smoothly... Sonia bit her lip lightly and turned her inquiring eyes to
Fiona.
What if, I mean what if, I was delayed in the process of being promoted to Loremaster and couldn't cast the newly learned spells, how embarrassing it would be! Fiona imagined the dilemma in the Charms class and felt so ashamed.
He glanced at Sonia unconsciously.
"It's okay, we just don't need to be too far away from each other." Isius said confidently, "Even if it is really dangerous, we have three Shutorals here. You guys who came back from the battlefield are very resistant to mental magic.
, blood energy can also interrupt chanting, so I’m not worried about whether it’s hand-to-hand combat or fighting against spellcasters. The only thing I’m worried about is that your blood evil energy doesn’t affect the operation of this wonderful house.”
"Well, you're right!" Sonia finally made up her mind, "There are no special spells or items that cannot be found here, so there is no need to worry about being used as a base by bad guys."
