The moon shines on the ground, the dark night sky is dotted with stars, and cheerful laughter is constantly heard from all over the city of Donica, and the cheerful night is just about to begin.
And unrelated to all of this, in a dark alley somewhere in Donica City, a young man was sitting alone on the dirty ground leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the bustling and bustling city not far away.
street.
"Boss, is this your plan?" The young man muttered helplessly.
It turned out that Monroe's so-called plan that day was to have Yi Yun take the test at the Junior Magic Martial Arts Academy, and then enter the academy to learn basic magic knowledge and understand why he had stagnated in his magic practice.
Monroe said this at the time:
"Your grandfather Pusius once said that every year there is a junior college of magic and martial arts on the mainland, and children over ten years old will be admitted to the college to study, as long as they can pass the talent test before admission. I will teach you the magic practice method
There is absolutely no problem. The same technique has trained several nine-star masters for the family. But I can't figure out why you can't even use a complete simple spell, so you go to the magic academy to find it.
Answer it!"
The mountain forest where they were staying was actually quite close to the city of Donica. Therefore, the two set off immediately that day. In just three days, they arrived at Donica, the largest city within hundreds of miles.
Calgary.
Munro's plan might really work, but he did overlook one thing: Yi Yun didn't have any money on him, not even a single copper coin...
When Yi Yun left Aida Town, his house had been completely searched by men in black. Although their purpose was just to find the Fire Essence Stone, it was of course impossible for them to take away valuable items such as gold coins even after seeing them.
, he has nothing of value that can be sold.
If he could get one copper coin by selling himself, then his whole body would only be worth one copper coin now. Of course, Monroe just gave it as a gift.
Everyone who wants to enter the city gate of Donica must pay an entry fee of at least one silver coin, so he almost couldn't enter the city gate. If the guard hadn't looked at him as just a young boy and turned a blind eye, he would have been free of charge.
Let him enter the city, otherwise he can only continue to wander outside the city gate at this time.
After finally entering the city and asking around, I realized that I was really lucky. In less than a month, the junior college entrance qualification test would be held. If you missed it, you would have to wait for a year.
Came quite timely.
However, this joy did not last long.
Yi Yun next found out: If you want to take the college's entrance test, you must first pay the test fee of twenty gold coins...
On the Qiongwu Continent, one gold coin can allow an ordinary family to live comfortably for a month. Judging from this standard, the fees charged by the academy are not too outrageous. At least the average family only needs to save for one or two years.
It’s also affordable.
But this was a huge problem for Yi Yun at this time! Now that he couldn't afford even a piece of black bread, how could he raise the registration fee of twenty gold coins?
Monroe was also a little helpless: "Oh! This is indeed a miscalculation on my part. I never thought about the existence of such a thing as money. In the past, I only had to click my fingers, and a large number of people would automatically stuff gold coins into my pocket."
If I don't take it from you, I'll be sorry for them, so I've never been short of money. But now we have to worry about dozens of gold coins. Is this retribution? Hey!"
Yi Yun began to have a headache. The boss's plans always had no beginning and no end, leaving them in this embarrassing situation. He said: "Otherwise, I'll go find a blacksmith shop and sell some weapons. If this continues,
If I go down, I will starve to death in less than a month..."
As soon as he said this, his stomach growled. He had not eaten all day.
"With your current level of weapon refining, how good a weapon can you make?" With a snort, Monroe sneered disdainfully: "Besides, there is only less than a month left, and the most you can do is to resist the odds.
It is absolutely impossible to earn twenty gold coins by refining ten ordinary-grade weapons... Unless you use fire essence stones to refine the weapons, selling one is enough."
"Fire Essence Stone... Absolutely not!" Yi Yun stood up immediately after hearing this and responded immediately without thinking.
Although a year and a half had passed, Yi Yun still remembered clearly that it was because of this fire spirit stone that his family was wiped out. He felt guilty for this. How could he use this spirit stone again now?
Take out the stone.
"Then, let's wait until you have earned enough to pay for the test and future enrollment fees. Let's come back next year."
Yi Yun shook his head again and said: "I can't waste another year! I have to increase my strength as soon as possible to deal with the family's blood feud and Hank's whereabouts... No matter what, I must do this this year.
Just enter the academy!"
"Hehehehe!" Yi Yun's reaction was already within his expectation. Menluo smiled evilly and said: "Your intention is so determined. Boss, I was moved by you. Therefore, I came up with another idea for you."
A whole new plan.”
"What is it?" Yi Yun was excited when he heard that Munro had come up with a solution so quickly. Although this boss usually lacked strength, he was still somewhat responsible at critical moments.
Monroe chuckled and said, "Just borrow money!"
In the dark night sky, the moon has already reached the zenith. At this moment, when every household is sleeping, the city of Donica is filled with darkness and silence.
Outside the largest residential manor in the east of the city, there were three or four city guards keeping vigil patrolling in twos and threes. A black shadow got into the guard's blind spot at an extremely fast speed and quickly jumped from the outside into the wall. There was no trace of it.
The city guards can find it.
As soon as the black shadow landed on the ground, it immediately jumped towards the shelter in the manor. All its movements were like water flowing through the clouds, drawing a perfect parabola in the dark night.
Yi Yun made a slight sound in the wind, just in time to avoid the gaze of a night guard not far away, and hid under the eaves of a row of houses in the manor. He looked around at the surrounding environment. After making sure it was safe, he exhaled heavily.
tone.
"Hahaha, the kung fu I have learned in the past few years has indeed been in vain. Looking at your skills just now, you are very talented as a thief!" Monroe's teasing laughter rang in his mind.
"Boss, is this your method? You keep saying that you are just looking for someone to borrow money, but I feel more and more that it is not like this..." Yi Yun was tricked by Monro into coming here.
No matter how stupid he was at this time, he understood what was going on.
"Of course it's just borrowing money!" Monroe emphasized the pronunciation of the word "borrowing money": "Think about it, if you don't use this method to find money, is it possible for you to raise enough gold coins? Wait in the future.
You have become a strong man who can stand on the stage. When you no longer worry about this mere gold coin, you can just return what you took today. It is said that what is borrowed is repaid, so it is said to be borrowing money!"
Yi Yun shook his head helplessly. Being able to explain this fallacy so confidently was beyond his reach. Although he didn't agree with it in his heart, since he had already arrived here, of course he couldn't just go back empty-handed.
Yi Yun thought to himself: "That's it! What the boss said is right. This is the only way now. If we want to achieve something big, why should I care about the trivial details."
