107. A letter from Qiyan City
The edges of the Majaro round peaks are covered with clouds as thin as mist, making those peaks look like illusory shadows.
A glass window in the corridor was blown open by the wind. The north wind blew the remaining snow on the windowsill to the floor. The ceiling light in the corridor was swaying violently by the wind. I walked up and closed the window. Unexpectedly, the wind changed, and the white silk curtains were sucked out of the window by the strong wind. I had to put down the white paper, hold the window and stretched out my hand to pull the curtains back with difficulty.
A hand stretched out from behind me, helped me hold the window, and let me pull the curtains back smoothly.
I turned around and thanked the man, and found that the director, Mr. Freeman, was standing behind me. The expression on his face was like a 'j' on a playing card. His two black, thin and upward beards looked particularly vivid. He lowered his eyelids and looked at the white paper bound by parchment in my hand, and said to me in a faint tone: "Geeja, the bells for class have already ringed. Why are you still standing in the corridor in a daze instead of going to class?"
"In addition, this is the third-grade teaching area. If I remember correctly your classroom, it should be downstairs!" He turned his head and looked at the classroom sign on the other side of the corridor and asked me.
"Director Freeman..." I was about to explain, but I was just brewing my emotions at the door of the classroom. After all, it took a little courage to walk onto the podium for the first time.
"No need to explain, go to class quickly. Not every teacher can tolerate their students being late!" Director Freeman interrupted me, waved his hand gently and said to me.
At this time, several senior seniors sneaked over the corridor, and they tried to sneak into the classroom while Director Freeman taught me a lesson.
"Dear students, my words are also warning you." Director Freeman added to their backs in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the seniors did not dare to look back or stop, and quickly disappeared from the door of the classroom.
"That...Director, I'm in this classroom." I stood up straight and said to Director Freeman.
"How did you take the third-grade magic class?" Director Freeman asked me in surprise.
I turned around and looked at the bronze-colored classroom door and said to the director of the teaching director Freeman: "The academic affairs of the college arranged for me to take a water magic rune elective course here, Director Freeman!"
“…”
Director Freeman was stunned and waved at me three seconds later, then turned around and left.
...
Walking into the somewhat noisy classroom, the door wrapped in copper coat made a long creaking sound, and the classroom quickly became quiet.
I stepped onto the podium, and the seniors and sisters in the classroom wearing various magical robes fell on me. They looked at me in surprise, but fortunately no one was whistling or booing in the audience.
I stood on the podium, put the white paper bound by magic parchment on the podium, and pretended to be calm and said to the group of third-grade seniors and seniors: "The Academic Affairs Office of the College arranged for me to teach a class for all seniors. In the next class, I will introduce this special water magic rune to you in detail. Good afternoon, all seniors, I am a magic student in Class 2 of Fire Department, the second grade of the college, and my name is Jijia!"
After listening to my self-introduction, the classroom exploded.
The seniors in the classroom whispered to each other, and the seniors were also whispering, and no one wanted to believe this fact.
"Damn, isn't this the boy who defeated Senior William on the roof of the teaching building?" The voice of a senior came from the noisy discussion.
"It's really him!" someone immediately echoed.
"I heard that he is from the North." Then someone introduced my origin to the classmates in class.
Some insiders also talked about my love life: "What's this? He also married Teacher Qige and Princess Ying Li of Haiyinsi as a first-grade magic student. How did he teach us?"
Then someone started to question me: "What can he teach us?"
Just when the classroom was in chaos, the back door of the classroom was quietly pushed open, and several rune-based teachers quietly walked in from outside the door. Scholar Sean and Vice President Hastin were also among the group of people. The magic student sitting in the back row couldn't help but exclaim: "Sir, Scholar Sean..."
Everyone in the classroom turned around and looked at the door of the back door. The classroom suddenly became silent. One of the seniors in the gorgeous magic robe stood up from their seats. With a hint of uneasiness, he asked the magicians who walked in from the back door: "Teacher Constantine, Teacher Albert, Teacher Aitly..."
Leading by Vice Dean Hastin, these magic teachers sat in an orderly manner into the empty seats in the back of the classroom. Among them, a rune teacher raised a finger and whispered to the magic students in the classroom: "Shh! Please keep the classroom quiet. We are now like you, and we are here to learn this water magic rune."
"Geeja, can you start now?" Vice President Hastin asked calmly, raised his hand in his seat.
"Yes, Vice President!" I quickly stood up straight on the stage and answered loudly.
I picked up a piece of blue chalk from the podium, quickly drew a wonderful water-based rune on the blackboard, and tried to relax my mood, and said, "As we all know, there are currently 377 water-based magic runes known in the Green Empire, but the primary water-based magic runes we can contact are even less than 200, and this rune is a special rune completely outside these runes. It comes from a magic book in Gana language..."
"Its painting method is different from the previous rune drawing method..."
"...So this magic pattern stacked in fish scales is the basic brushwork of this rune. You can try and experience it."
This new water-based rune is also a big challenge for me. It is not difficult to explain it on the blackboard, but the difficulty lies in using the water-based magic element to activate this rune in front of me. I can only draw it twice or three times ten times, so the most embarrassing thing for me is to condense the water element five times in a row to draw this rune similar to the shape of "д".
It was not until the last time that a relatively stable magic rune pattern was formed in front of me. The light of the water element flashed intermittently with light blue lines, and the whole classroom was filled with applause.
I took out a silk palette and wiped the sweat from my forehead. The way to draw this stacking line was also what Princess Arriel told me through the mouth of Ying Lizhi the day before yesterday. I can only do this at the moment.
The bell for the end of get out of class rang. I picked up the magic white paper on the podium and walked out of the stepped classroom slowly. The seniors and sisters in the classroom stood up one after another. Even the vice dean of Mr. Hasting and Scholar Sean, who were sitting in the back row, and the rune teachers stood up and watched me leave.
In this way, I became the youngest rune teacher in the Royal Magic Academy, although I can only show five very strange water runes.
...
Walking through the square in front of the college teaching building, there will always be some seniors and seniors who are seniors who are of high school greeting me very friendly.
There is a not-so-large artificial lake around the water system ecological park in the back garden of the college. There is a lush forest around the artificial lake. In summer, this path is completely blocked by lush branches and leaves. Few people will walk on this path, but in winter, the path is revealed again. Noah, Shirley Newman, and senior Vernon passed this path to the back door of the college. When you walked out the back door, it was the back street of the Magic Academy. There were many magic shops on this street.
The magic store of Senior Erica and Senior Hailibu is at the intersection of the street, but it is said that the magic store went bankrupt last week. Recently, the entire magic market on Didu has not been very prosperous. Only with a stable source of magic herbs can the magic store be operated.
A few of us came to the back street of the Magic Academy to find a street shop for Senior Vernon. After Senior Vernon successfully refined the red copper solution in the college laboratory building, he could not always occupy the laboratory. First, the resources of the Royal Academy of Magic are relatively limited, and second, the laboratory in the college still lacks privacy after all, so Senior Vernon and Noah discussed renting a shop outside the college and setting up an alchemy studio.
"...So, after we enter the third grade, you will also give us a few special rune classes?" Noah asked at me with a depressed look on his face.
The snow on the back street of the college is close to the high courtyard wall on the south side of the college, there is no sign of melting, but it is trampled by pedestrians and the road is a bit slippery.
Where there is snow, people always remind people of the northern border. In fact, the surface of the Benma River has been almost frozen during this period, and the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra should also cross the Benma River and enter the northern border.
I lowered my head and avoided an elm branch that stretched out from the courtyard wall and said, "It shouldn't be. I think the rune teachers in the college should master the drawing methods of these five water-based runes!"
"How do you think of that shop?" Senior Vernon stopped, looked at a small townhouse on the street from the second floor across the street, and asked us.
There is a loft on the roof of this small western-style building, with a rooftop. A professional manager stood at the entrance of the building. He saw Senior Vernon and Noah waving hard. When we walked through the street, the manager took out a bunch of keys from his backpack and opened the door. He asked us to go in and see the layout inside. This is a very common unique building structure of Didu. One floor and one entrance is a very spacious living room. There are a small dining room and a kitchen behind it. There are two rooms and a staircase leading to the upper floor. Upstairs is the owner's living room, with a total of one, two small bedrooms, one of which has a terrace, and a simple loft at the ridge. There is also a not-so-large basement under the staircase leading to the second floor. There is a small cross-yard of more than 20 square meters behind the small western-style building. The whole building is compact and elegant.
Buildings like this in the Third Block are very common. The biggest advantage of this small western-style building is that it is only a wall away from the Royal Academy of Magic.
This professional manager of the property union took us into the living room and introduced the origin of the small western-style building as we said: "The owner of this room is a noble lord from a southern province. He only sold the property on Didu because of a failure in a plane war..."
Noah and Senior Vernon walked around upstairs and downstairs. It was obvious that Senior Vernon liked this small western-style building very much. He even walked around the backyard full of snow.
Noah waved to the professional manager impatiently and said, "Okay, can you come up with some fresh reasons? You have to tell me such old-fashioned stories, tell me the price!"
The professional manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face filled with smiles, and said to Noah: "No need to say, all the magicians can see that this loft is very superior. At present, the rental price of such lofts in the third block is very transparent. Three gold coins a month will be rented for at least one year."
Only then did I realize that such a small western-style building had three gold coins per month. No wonder those villas in the Didu civilian area were shared by several civilian families, but the price of such lofts could be at least half in the sixth block.
"Is this loft sold?" Noah asked the manager by slapping the dusty sofa.
It can be seen that this small western-style building has seemed to have been shelved for a long time, and the room is covered with thick dust.
The manager was slightly stunned. In his eyes, we, the magic students from the Royal Magic Academy, would want to stay in Didu as the graduation season approached. They would probably find a house in Didu. With the magician's living allowance, they could still rent a house in the third block. They could still grit their teeth and grit their teeth. However, few magic students who are about to graduate will directly pay for a small foreign house. The magic students with noble families will not choose to live here. Most graduates from civilian families cannot afford it.
He said to Noah diligently: "Of course it is sold. If you pay the entire amount in one lump sum, you will have one hundred and fifty magic crystals. If you pay in mortgage installments, you will pay thirty magic crystals down, and then you can repay three gold coins every month. Thirty years later, this attic will belong to you. Of course, if you can repay one magic crystal every month, you only need to repay fifteen years."
Noah glanced at Senior Vernon and made a decision for him: "Of course, this kind of attic needs to be settled at one time, only one hundred and fifty magic crystals..."
The manager quickly patted his chest and promised that the small foreign building was affordable and affordable: "I promise you that this price is the lowest price in this loft!"
Noah shook her head and said, "I don'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 turned his eyes on Senior Vernon. Senior Vernon also looked confused and looked on me. I hesitated for a moment and said to the manager: "We hope that when this small foreign building was handed over to us, the roof was renovated. The outside walls needed to be painted. The floors in the house were so old. Look at the places where these curtains were always shining by the sun, the bathroom was so small, and the bathtub inside was cracked. I wonder if these fabric furniture could still be used?..."
"I can promise you...the roof is renovated, the exterior wall is repainted, the floor, room wallpaper, and curtains are all replaced, and I can also give you a brand new set of walnut furniture." The manager promised immediately.
In fact, it doesn’t cost much to repair a house and replace the furniture. It’s just that once you do it, you will realize that the time spent on it is beyond imagination, and you will have no idea when doing it. You always see wherever you think of it, and you will do it first. Later, you will find that some projects need to be done again, which is the worst thing to worry about.
Noah seemed to be buying a house for herself, waved her hand again, and said to the manager: "Then let's settle down, have you brought the magic contract?"
The manager quickly took out a magic scroll from his backpack and said with a smile: "Take it, Lord Magician."
"When will it be finished and you can move in?" Noah asked holding down the magic contract scroll and staring at the manager.
The manager immediately replied: "Interior decoration is easy and can be done in about a week. As for roof renovation and wall painting, we have to wait until spring."
In this way, with Noah's intervention, Senior Vernon bought his own small western-style building in the third block of Didu...
Chapter completed!
