Chapter 177 Battle Mage
To be honest, the tour guide fee for three gold coins is indeed a little expensive to put in Van Gogh. But this place is a dark secret realm after all, and the artificial may be relatively high. In short, it will follow the local customs.
The little tour guide Haiding took Colin and others out of the teleportation hall and came to Dark City.
Colin stood at the entrance of the hall, trying hard to keep calm. But his slightly widened eyes still betrayed his shock.
Not to mention the blue sky, the entire dark city seems to be a combination of the Middle Ages and the future world. The elements that run through the city are black, tall and majestic. Its architectural style is not much different from Van Gogh.
But the towering magical light that soared into the sky fell down. There were walking everywhere, and the flying magicians wearing magician robes were full of mechanical golems.
These mechanical golems are all kinds of strange, including human forms and animal forms. Human forms are divided into anthropomorphic forms and mechanical forms.
In a trance, Colin seemed to be standing in the future world himself.
The rustic buns were not only Colin, Mrs. Brown, Ultra Magician, Linda, Elsa and the Brown family's quasi-knights, but also showed shock, and their expressions were much more exaggerated than Colin who tried hard to restrain himself.
"This is the secret realm. The world of magicians." Mrs. Brown could not keep the noble lady's elegance and calmness, her little mouth slightly opened her snow-white teeth and her pink and tender tongue.
The little tour guide next to him, Haiding nodded with satisfaction. As an indigenous person in the dark secret realm, he was deeply proud of the amazement that everyone showed.
"That's right. This is the world of magicians, the dark secret realm. Its history has been more than 100,000 years, and magic here is daily."
Haiding opened his arms and said with emotion.
After being amazed and shocked, everyone's mood gradually recovered. Colin took a deep breath, turned to Haiding and said, "Mr. Tour Guide, let's introduce us to the admission test in three days."
"Okay. I'll take you to the Dark Academy first, and talk while walking." Haiding nodded, trotted a few steps very lively, turned around and waved to Colin and others.
Colin smiled and followed.
"Dark Academy originally enrolled students every three years. As long as you have a letter of introduction and pass the written test, you can enroll. It is divided into six grades. However, due to the invasion of the evil gods, the magicians suffered a lot of losses. This time, the enrollment was launched in advance, and the scale was expanded, and the rules had some changes." Haiding said while walking.
Although there are many magicians in robes in the Dark City, there are also many normal people walking. After hearing Haiding's words, they glanced at Colin and others, and then withdrew their eyes, which were obviously used to.
Colin was not surprised by this. It was no longer news that the evil gods invaded the secret realm.
"What has changed in the rules?" Colin immediately grabbed the point and asked.
"Before this, the Dark Academy recruited and trained orthodox magicians. They had extensive knowledge and could understand magic. Although there were occasionally combat magicians who were biased towards combat, they also had to have the necessary knowledge reserves. If they could not pass the written test, then no matter how powerful the magic and mental power were, they could not enter the Dark Academy. However, after this catastrophe, the magicians decided to recruit talents who had no knowledge but had strong magic and mental power, and accepted the [warlocks]."
Haiding was very familiar with this. After talking about it, he took a breath and then said: "So this year's entrance test, as long as the magic and mental power exceed 10 points, he can pass the entrance test and become a student in the combat class. I heard that the students in the combat class do not need to learn theoretical knowledge, just learn magic one by one, and participate in combat tasks one by one."
Colin's mouth raised slightly, he liked combat classes. This was completely different from before. His early thought was to develop in a vague and vulgar way. But now hasn't the world changed?
The evil gods who are destined to be enemies, and the good gods who are unknown. The God of Glory even established His earthly kingdom of God [the Principality of Glory].
Van Gogh's situation became strange and volatile. Relying on the system to collect energy, growing as soon as possible became the king.
"It's really a big deal. All noble mages should be knowledgeable doctors, while those combat mages are smooth and only muscles. Only those wild mages who have not been systematically trained and accidentally embark on the path of mage will be combat mages."
Ultraman muttered, showing that the magician was quite contemptuous of hunger.
Colin glanced at the guy and thought to himself, "Why is this guy still following us?"
Afterwards, the little tour guide Haiding talked a lot about Dark City to Colin and others, but it was just the tip of the iceberg of the city. After all, its history has exceeded 100,000 years.
How many wars have it encountered? How many times have it been destroyed? How many times have it been rebuilt? In these long years, this city with a strong history is destined to be epic.
Soon after, Colin and his group arrived at the gate of the Dark Academy. This is a magnificent academy. Like the Dark City, the architectural style is medieval, but it reveals the colors of the future everywhere.
The gate. Or the academy has no gate, only a black building similar to the Arc de Triomphe. The murals on the building are a strong black dragon.
According to Haiding, the establishment of Dark City has a great relationship with a black dragon, and gradually this black dragon became the heraldic emblem of Dark City.
There was no guard at the door, but a transparent magical light blocked the connection between the academy and the outside. Colin reached out and touched the magical light, and it seemed that he had touched a balloon between his fingers, which was very elastic.
"The college has an automatic identification system. You are not a student of this college, or a former student, or a senior Dark City with extremely high authority. You cannot enter the Dark Academy. At 8 o'clock in the morning three days later, you will arrive here on time and you can enter through the heraldry in your hands."
Haiding introduced his routine, then clenched his right fist, raised his right arm and made a cheering gesture, saying, "I also need to work hard. I will take the entrance test in three years. The primary goal is to become an orthodox student."
Colin raised his eyebrows and felt that life in the academy might not be happy. Whether it is Ultra Magician or this little tour guide who is determined to enter the academy, they all advocate orthodox magicians.
Looking back, Magician Raul also said something. In the dark secret realm, combat magicians will be despised.
After standing in front of the Dark Academy for a long time, Haiding turned around and asked, "The college will provide accommodation for the students, but the family members cannot do it. What about you? Do the family members plan to leave after passing the test or stay? If they stay, I suggest renting a house."
"I can introduce you to a cheap and affordable house. It only costs two gold coins."
Haiding narrowed his eyes and showed a fox-like smile.
Colin's mouth twitched, and this little devil really has a good way to make money. The tour guide also works as a real estate agent.
"Rent a house." Colin said immediately. Of course, he would not let Linda leave the dark secret realm alone, and the same is true for Mrs. Brown, who has to take care of her daughter nearby.
After paying two gold coins from the compound businessman Haiding, Colin and his group found a house. Two four-story buildings, both the roof and the walls, were all dark houses.
The rent is not cheap at all, and it actually requires 50 gold coins per month.
Colin suspected that Haiding, the tour guide, had taken the kickback, but then he sent someone to inquire about it. The price of a house was indeed relatively cheap, so he gave up.
The rent was paid every six months. Colin and Mrs. Brown discussed it and paid half the money. Mrs. Brown originally planned to pay the entire rent for the Brown family, so she thanked Colin for his past care. But Colin did not agree and insisted on paying half the money, but Mrs. Brown had no choice.
After paying for the contract, Colin got three keys. Although the rent for the house was ridiculously expensive, the furniture was complete, and all they needed to buy were new bedding and various personal belongings.
This aspect can only be done by the quasi-knights of the Brown family. This trip, Mrs. Brown did not even bring a maid, which was really hard.
Ultraman was also shameless and asked to stay here for three days. Colin reluctantly agreed.
After settling down, the prodigal businessman Haiding happily waved his hand and left. Colin thought for a while, invited Mrs. Brown, and Elsa brought Linda with her and came to the small living room on the second floor to sit down.
The living room is small, but the decoration is extremely exquisite.
"Madam, please forgive me for taking the liberty. Miss Elsa is too young. Can she pass the entrance test? If you enter the combat class, it will be very dangerous." Colin looked at Miss Elsa, who was wearing a white princess dress and black sandals, sitting obediently beside Mrs. Brown, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes. Miss Elsa is too young." Linda nodded seriously, and came to Miss Elsa to sit down, pinched the other person's little face.
Mrs. Brown looked a little shy, so that a faint blush appeared on her fair face, adding 100% charm.
She gently hugged Miss Aisha and said, "Aisha should not take the entrance test, nor will she enter the combat class."
Colin was surprised and then immediately understood. The Brown family's water is really deep. Is it related to it in the dark secret realm?
Since that's the case, there is nothing to worry about. Colin, Linda and the mother and daughter of the Brown family settled down. Because there were few rooms, Colin and Linda lived in one room.
Three days later, Colin took everyone to the Dark Academy and arrived at the gate of the Dark Academy before 8 o'clock. At this moment, there were already a lot of people outside the college.
