Section 48 Self-supporting students
Lewis took Lance's servant nameplate and at Lance's sign, he converted a total of 160 magic stones into 100 magic stones and thirty 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 quickly. These hundred magic stones are enough for you to get rid of your status as a servant." Lewis pointed enthusiastically and said, "You go to [Fegan Cave] to find an old guy named Feigan. He is responsible for managing the work of the servant transferring to Feisheng in our Scarlet Castle. You said that Lewis asked you to come, and he dare not make things difficult for you. You should have a venomous snake curse on you, right? The old guy Feigan can solve it. In addition to the old dwarf, he is good at removing the curse."
"By the way, although you did it unintentionally, you still helped me a lot. For the sake of the Amber Ring, I will give you ten resource points for free as a private person!" Lewis said happily: "Use these resource points well, these things are more precious than magic stones. Many times, even if you have many magic stones, you may not be able to exchange them for resource points!"
Lance politely thanked Lewis, then took the nameplate, and quickly left Wind Dragon Canyon under the gaze of Carlsch who was enough to kill people.
Lewis' attitude and reaction fully prove that his approach was extremely correct. Although the puppet core of the Thunder Beast was not right, the top leaders of Scarlet Castle might not be able to find it out. In any case, Orian was just a wizard apprentice and should not have that much energy.
...
Lance boarded the familiar Bone Train and returned to the dark scarlet castle.
Looking at the gloomy buildings in the Scarlet Castle, he couldn't help but feel a little sudden. In just two weeks, he felt as if several years had passed. Especially when he first entered the Puppet City, he killed scarecrows, killed Spartan spiders, fled from the haunted house in a hot air balloon, robbed the hooked nose, entered the secret garden, snatched the ticket as a hooded man and sold it for a good price... All of this was thrilling enough that a person would remember it for the rest of his life.
Only Alice knew about the identity of a hooded man, and the rest of the people, the Rainbow Island apprentice who sold the hood to him, might have guessed some. However, Lance felt that there was no such coincidence in this world. There were so many people who used hoods as a cover-up, not to mention that those who entered the puppet city might not be able to go out alive in the end, and their own affairs should not have much impact.
Unfortunately, Lance never knew that due to the Rambo union, his every move in the puppet city had been talked about by the people of Ferrondor!
People are speculating about what identity, origin of the hooded man is, and which wizard organization he belongs to...
Only Lance himself, and he still didn't realize it.
Following the signpost, Lance traveled through the cold castle. He walked down a spiral staircase and stopped by an underground river.
Following the direction of the underground river flowing, he came to a deep cave.
There are two stones in front of the cave. A small wooden sign is hung in the middle of the stone with a crooked word written on it: [Fegan Cave].
"It's here."
Lance walked in without hesitation. Everything went smoothly. With the help of Lewis, Old Feigan seemed very enthusiastic. He quickly completed all the procedures for Lance, and even gave Lance a 10% discount on the tuition fee, only 90 magic stones were charged.
As for the poisonous snake curse, with the help of Fagan, it was quickly lifted.
Seeing the hideous pattern disappearing from his wrist, Lance felt unspeakable.
"Old Dwarf..." He couldn't help but flash the abominable image of the old dwarf. Although he had now escaped from his servant's identity with his own efforts, his hatred for the old dwarf was half divided into subtraction. He and the vulture Pansas were both the culprits of Lance's mistaken entry into the Scarlet Castle.
Otherwise, with Amman's letter of introduction, Lance could have successfully climbed on Rainbow Island and become a public student on Rainbow Island!
"Congratulations, from now on, you are a self-paid child in our Scarlet Castle. This is your new nameplate, which records some basic information and forty resource points." Old Feigen said enthusiastically: "In one week, you can choose the direction of further study. According to the direction of further study, you can determine your tutor within two weeks. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want a tutor. However, the role of a tutor is generally very large. Moreover, for your own apprentice, tutors are often cheaper when imparting knowledge. In terms of spell guidance, those who study on their own will not be able to obtain a very good spell rune. If you want to obtain improved spell runes, you must deal with your tutor."
Apprentices in Scarlet Castle, including self-paid students and public-paid students, implement a tutor system. Every week, each tutor must take half a day to teach his students a [tutor class]. The atmosphere of tutor class is generally free, and tutors and students talk freely, and it is usually the time for apprentices to ask questions to tutors who are second-level wizards. In addition to tutor classes, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoon is [public class].
Public courses are entirely chosen by the wizard apprentices. The 20th of each month is the course selection day. After the selection, the class will be smoothly held on Tuesday of the first week of next month. Generally speaking, whether it is a junior apprentice or an advanced apprentice, you must determine a direction of further study when you first enter Scarlet Castle. Choose a tutor according to your direction of further study, which is a more reliable choice.
After all, if you choose a Blood Mage as your mentor and your direction of learning is a Necromancer, then the Blood Mage mentor will not be able to give you more guidance in spell learning and knowledge learning. Starting from a second-level wizard, your majors will begin to be different, and the directions of learning are different, and the spells, fields and knowledge you are good at are very different.
Therefore, when choosing the method of further study, wizard apprentices must take it very carefully.
The above knowledge was told by the enthusiastic old Feigan. Judging from Feigan's reaction, it is not difficult for Lance to guess that the mysterious wizard named Lewis should have a good status in the castle - otherwise Scarlet Castle would not have sent him as the material acquisition staff for this trip to the puppet city.
After taking his nameplate and asking Old Feigan some daily questions, Lance left Feigan's Cave.
He walked along the underground river and according to the map of the fox's memory, he quickly walked towards the apprentice dormitory area.
Scarlet Castle implements a high-pressure policy in the management of servants; but it is very relaxed in the management of apprentices. Whether it is self-paid or public-paid students, Scarlet Castle provides free accommodation. What is more humane is that the castle allows financial apprentices to live outside the castle dormitory area.
However, the safe area of Ferrondor - also known as the [Inner Ring] by wizards, is mostly real estate affiliated to the three major wizard organizations. It is not cheap to buy a house in the inner Ring. At least ordinary wizard apprentices do not have that financial resources. They are usually from the wizard family, so they live in the inner Ring. It is close to the wizard mall and is the core area of the entire Ferrondor.
The apprentice dormitory area is in the northeast of the castle. In the eyes of Reims, the architectural style of the Scarlet Castle's senior wizards is amazing. They built the house on the hillside of a high mountain in the northeast, which is one of the few places in the castle complex that are exposed and at altitude.
Lance walked for about half an hour, and even used the swift wind attached to his belt along the way before he arrived at the apprentice dormitory.
The dormitory area is very spacious, and it seems to be the time for class. The place is empty and sparsely populated.
Lance was too lazy to deal with others, so he found the concierge in charge, an old lady named Ulrika. After completing the simple procedures, he got his own exclusive room.
"Coral Cave, Room 09." Urrika 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 the room on a winter blizzard night. Hopefully you won't be part of them."
"The mantra is: Sivara's supper is not worthy of its name, but the cherry blossoms there are really top notch."
"This is your room card. If you lose it, you will have to spend two magic stones to re-issue it."
Lance thanked the old lady for her advice. He traveled through the mountain path for a while and finally found an arched door.
The arched door was carved on the belly of the mountain. Seeing Lance coming, the guy jumped suddenly and ran towards the mountain. While running, the arched door screamed, "There is another damn newborn. I won't open the door for you for free - unless you invite me to have an ice cream."
Lance laughed silently, and he shouted: "Sivara's supper is not worthy of its name, but the cherry blossoms there are really first-class."
The next second, the arched door was immediately pulled back by an invisible force.
"Cruff!" The door opened with a sour sound.
Lance stepped in. It was a bright and spacious tunnel. On both sides of the tunnel, a room appeared every distance.
Soon, he found his room No. 09.
The room was extremely spacious and had a huge skylight. The sun shone in from above, and the feather hammock looked particularly clean. There was a desk on one side, and a clothes hanger on the other side and a private bathroom.
"Wow!" Lance was a little amazed in the empty room.
The environment here is so good. It is far beyond his expectations. The treatment of formal students and servants is simply a very different place.
He relaxed and lay in the hammock. The fatigue of the past few days swept over and soon entered a deep sleep.
...
This time, Lance slept for a whole day and a half.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that he woke up slowly.
After washing his face, Lance regained his spirits. The trip to the Puppet City has become a past. Now he must adjust his state in time and make a careful plan for his future.
Most importantly, he must choose an advanced direction.
"Which mage should I advance to?" Lance sat on the desk, flipping through the relevant information he had received from Old Feigan.
Blood Mage? Necromancer? Mysterious Mage? Or something else...
