The edges of the Majaro crater are shrouded in mist-like clouds, making them look like ethereal shadows.A glass window in the corridor was blown open by the wind, the north wind blew the residual snow on the windowsill to the floor, the ceiling lamp in the corridor was blown violently by the wind, I went up to close the window, who knew that the wind direction changed, the white silk curtain was sucked out of the window by the strong wind, I had to put down the white paper, hold on to the window and reach out with difficulty to pull the curtain back.A hand reached out from behind me and helped me hold the window and pull the curtain back smoothly.I turned back to thank the man, only to find Master Freeman, the head of education, standing behind me, his face with an expression like a J on a playing card, and his two black, thin upturned beards that looked particularly expressive, and he lowered his eyelids to look at the white paper bound in the parchment in my hand, and said to me in a light tone: "Jiga, the bell for class has already sounded, why are you still standing in the corridor in a daze instead of going to class?"
”"The other side is the third-grade teaching area, and your classroom should be downstairs if I remember correctly!"
He turned his head to look at the classroom sign on the other side of the hallway and asked me."
Director Freeman" I was just about to explain that I was just brewing my emotions at the door of the classroom, after all, it takes a little courage to step onto the podium for the first time."
No need to explain, hurry up and go to class, not every teacher can tolerate their students being late!"
Director Freeman interrupted me, waved his hand softly, and said to me.A few seniors slipped through the hallway, trying to sneak into the classroom while Director Freeman was teaching me."
Ladies and gentlemen, I am also warning you with this sentence."
Director Freeman added a timely sentence to their backs, but unfortunately the seniors didn't dare to look back or stop, and quickly disappeared into the door of the classroom."
The director, I'm in this classroom."
I straightened up and said to Director Freeman."
How do you take a third-year magic class?"
Director Freeman asked me in some surprise.I turned my head to look at the bronze classroom door and said to Dean Freeman, "The Academy's academic affairs have arranged for me to take an elective course on magic talismans here, Director Freeman!"
”Director Freeman froze in place, waved at me after three seconds, and then turned away.Walking into the somewhat noisy classroom, the door wrapped in copper leather creaked loudly, and the classroom quickly fell silent.I stepped up to the podium, and the eyes of the seniors and seniors in the classroom in various magical robes fell on me, and they looked at me in surprise, but luckily no one was whistling or booing at the same time.I stood on the podium, put the white paper bound in magic parchment on the podium, and pretended to be calm and said to this group of third-year seniors and seniors: "The Academic Affairs Office of the college arranged for me to give a lesson to the seniors, so in the next class, I will introduce this special water-based magic talisman to you, good afternoon, seniors, I am a second-year fire class magic student of the college, my name is Ji Jia!"
”After listening to my self-introduction, the classroom exploded.The seniors in the classroom are talking to each other, and the seniors are also whispering, and everyone doesn't want to believe this fact."
Damn, isn't this the kid who defeated Senior William on the roof of the teaching building?"
A senior's voice came from the noisy discussion."
It's really him!"
Someone immediately chimed in."
I heard he's from the North."
Later, someone in class introduced my origins to the students around me.There are also some people in the know who have told me about my love life: "What is this, he also married Teacher Qige and His Royal Highness Ying Li, the princess of Haiyinsi, as a first-year magic student, how did he come to teach us?"
”Then I was questioned, "What can he teach us?"
”Just when the classroom was in chaos, the back door of the classroom was quietly pushed open, and several Fu teachers quietly walked in from outside the door, Sean Scholar and Vice Dean Hastings were also in this group of people, and the magic student sitting in the back row couldn't help but exclaim: "Vice Dean, Sean Scholar" Everyone in the classroom looked back at the door of the back door, and the classroom suddenly became silent, and one of the seniors in gorgeous magic robes stood up from his seat with a hint of apprehension, The magicians who walked in from the back door asked, "Teacher Constantine, Teacher Albert, Teacher Eitley" These magic teachers, under the leadership of Vice Dean Hasting, sat in the empty seats in the back of the classroom in a very orderly manner, and one of the teachers of the Charm Department raised a finger and whispered to the magicians in the classroom: "Shh!
Please keep the class quiet, we're here like you right now, to learn this water talisman. ”"Jiga, can you start now?"
Vice Dean Lord Hastings raised his hand in his seat and asked in a calm voice."
Yes, Vice Dean!"
I quickly stood up straight on the stage and replied loudly.I picked up a piece of blue chalk from the lectern, quickly drew a wonderful water talisman on the blackboard, and then tried to relax a little bit, and said: "As we all know, there are currently three hundred and seventy-seven known water talismans in the Grimm Empire, but the primary water talisman we can access is not even two hundred, and this talisman is a special talisman that is completely outside of these talismans, it comes from a Cana magic book" "It is drawn differently than the previous way of drawing talismans" Therefore, this kind of fish scale stacked magic pattern is the basic brushwork of this charm, you can try and experience it. ”This new water charm is also a big challenge for me, it is not difficult to explain the theory on the blackboard, but the difficulty is to use the water magic element to activate this charm in front of me, ten times I can only draw two or three times, so the most embarrassing thing for me is to condense the water element five times in a row to draw this similar "д" shape.It wasn't until the last time that a relatively stable magic rune pattern was formed in front of me, and the light of the water element flashed intermittently with light blue lines, and the whole classroom burst into applause.I took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from my forehead, this method of drawing stacked lines was also told to me by Princess Ireliel the day before yesterday through the mouth of Ying Li, I can only do this for the time being.The bell rang for the end of class, and I picked up the magic white paper on the podium and slowly walked out of the lecture hall, and the seniors in the classroom stood up one after another, even the vice dean Hasting-sama and Shaun scholars sitting in the back row, as well as the teachers of the Fu system, also stood up and watched me leave.In this way, I became the youngest Fu teacher in the history of the Royal Academy of Magic, although I can only get my hands on five very strange water runes.Walking through the square in front of the teaching building of the college, there are always some seniors and seniors who greet me very friendly.There is a small artificial lake around the water system ecological garden in the back garden of the college, the artificial lake is surrounded by a lush forest, in the summer, this path is completely blocked by lush foliage, few people will take this path, but in winter the leaves wither, this path is revealed again, I and Noah, Shirley.
Newman and Vernon walked through this path to the back door of the Academy, and when they walked out of the back door, they were in the back street of the Academy of Magic, where there were many magic shops.Erica-senpai and Halib-senpai's potions shop is just around the corner, but it is said that the potions shop closed down last week, and recently, the entire potions market in the imperial capital has been sluggish, and only with a stable supply of magical herbs can the potions shop survive.A few of us came to the back street of the Academy of Magic, in fact, to find a shop on the street for Senior Vernon, after Senior Vernon successfully refined the red copper solution in the laboratory building of the Academy, he couldn't always occupy the laboratory, first, the laboratory resources of the Royal Academy of Magic were relatively limited, and secondly, the laboratory on the side of the Academy still lacked privacy after all, so Senior Vernon and Noah discussed wanting to rent a shop outside the Academy and set up an alchemy studio."
So, when we get to the third grade, you'll give us a few special talisman lessons?"
Noah asked, looking at me with a depressed expression.The snow in the part of the college's backstreet near the high courtyard wall on the south side showed no signs of melting, but it was trampled by pedestrians, and the road was a little slippery.Where there is snow, it always reminds people of the north, and the surface of the Benma River has almost been frozen during this time, and those barbarians on the ice and snow tundra should also cross the Benma River into the north.I lowered my head to dodge an elm branch that protruded diagonally from the courtyard wall, and said, "Probably not, I think the Fu teachers in the academy should master the drawing methods of these five water talismans!"
”"What do you think of that shop?"
Senior Vernon stopped and looked across the street at a small two-story western-style building facing the street and asked us.The upper and lower floors of this small western-style building, there is an attic on the roof, there is a professional manager standing at the door of the building, he saw Senior Vernon and Noah hurriedly beckoned, we crossed the street, the manager took out a bunch of keys from his backpack and opened the door, invited us to go in to see the pattern inside, this is a common single-building structure in the imperial capital, a floor into the door is a very spacious living room, connected to a small dining room and kitchen, next to two guest rooms and a staircase leading to the upstairs, upstairs is the master's living room, a total of one large, two small three bedrooms, One of the small bedrooms has a terrace, there is a simple attic at the ridge, a small basement is dug under the stairs leading to the second floor, and there is a small courtyard of more than 20 square meters behind the small western-style building, the whole building is compact and elegant.This type of building is very common in the third block, and the biggest advantage of this small western-style building is that it is only a wall away from the Royal Academy of Magic.The professional manager of the housing and property union took us into the living room and introduced us to the origin of the small western-style building: "The owner of this room is a noble lord of the southern provinces, and he will only sell the property in the imperial capital because of the bankruptcy caused by the defeat of a plane war" Noah and Senior Vernon walked upstairs and downstairs, and it could be seen that Senior Vernon liked this small western-style building very much, and he even turned around the backyard full of snow.Noah waved his hand impatiently at the professional manager and said, "Okay, can you come up with a little fresh reason, this kind of old-fashioned story is rotten by you, talk about the price!"
”The professional manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was full of smiles, and said to Noah: "Needless to say, all magicians can also see that this attic is in a very advantageous location, and the current rental price of this kind of attic in the third block has been very transparent, three gold coins per month, at least for a year." ”Only then did I know that the monthly rent of such a small western-style building actually cost three gold coins, no wonder those villas in the imperial capital civilian area were shared by several civilian families, but the price of this kind of attic in the sixth block could be at least halved."
Is this attic for sale?"
Noah patted the dusty sofa and asked the manager.It could be seen that this small western-style building seemed to have been shelved for a long time, and the room was covered with thick dust.The manager was slightly stunned, in his eyes, we, the magic students of the Royal Academy of Magic, will want to stay in the imperial capital when the graduation season is approaching, and will probably find a house in the imperial capital, with the living allowance of the magician to rent a house in the third block, gritting his teeth can still hold on, but few magic students who are close to graduation will directly pay for a small western-style building, and the magic students who mainly have a noble family background will not choose to live here, and most of the graduates from civilian families cannot afford it.He said to Noah courteously, "Of course it is sold, if you settle the whole payment at once, one hundred and fifty magic crystals."
If it is a secured installment, a down payment of thirty magic crystals, and then you can repay three gold coins per month, and after thirty years this attic will be yours, of course, if you can repay one magic crystal a month, you only need to repay it for fifteen years. ”Noah glanced at Senior Vernon and made a decision directly for him: "This kind of attic, of course, has to be settled at one time, but one hundred and fifty magic crystals" The manager hurriedly patted his chest to ensure that this small western-style building was of good quality and cheap: "I assure you that this price is the lowest price in this attic!"
”Noah shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, one hundred and fifty magic crystals can be paid to you in full, but" He made some requests, but he didn't know what to say, so he set his eyes on Senior Vernon, Senior Vernon was also at a loss, and his eyes fell on me, I hesitated for a moment, and said to the manager: "We hope that when this small western-style building is handed over to us, the roof will be newly renovated, the outer walls will need to be repainted, and the floor in the house will be so old, Look at the places where these curtains are always exposed to the sun have faded, the bathroom is so small, and the bathtub inside is cracked, I wonder if these fabric furniture can still be used?
”"I can promise you a new roof, a new façade, a new floor, a new wallpaper, a new set of walnut furniture."
The manager immediately commits to it.It doesn't cost much to repair the house and replace the furniture, but once you do it, you know that it takes more time than you can imagine, and you will have no clue to do it.As if he was buying a house for himself, Noah waved his hand again and said to the manager, "Then it's settled, do you bring a magic contract?"
”The manager hurriedly took out a magic scroll from his backpack and said with a smile: "Bring it, Your Excellency the Magician." ”"When will the renovation be completed and I can move in?"
Noah asked, holding down the magic contract scroll and staring at the manager.The manager immediately replied: "The interior decoration is easy, it can be done in about a week, and as for the roof renovation and wall painting, it will take until spring." ”In this way, with Noah's intervention, Senior Vernon bought a small western-style building of his own in the third block of the imperial capital
