Chapter 1: Awakening from a Dream [Ire]
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Alay's throat was quite big. His friend, Dahl, who was sitting next to him, felt his ears be deaf.
Of course, he also successfully attracted the attention of more than a dozen other people in the room; the white-haired old man standing in the middle of the crowd stopped teaching, and his heart was pounding suddenly with great screams. Fortunately, the old man was still in good health on weekdays, otherwise he would have fainted directly;
More than a dozen other apprentices dressed up also stared at Ai Lei with dissatisfaction in surprise: The teacher is talking about magic theory well, but you suddenly shouted, what do you want to do!
After a few breaths, the elderly old magician finally recovered. He walked to Ailey with anger and knocked Ailey's head with the patellar wooden staff in his hand: "Ailey! It's okay if you sleep well after listening to the class... What kind of dreams have you been so excited, and you shout so loudly? I'm afraid you're not marrying a new bride... and you've just blown the kerosene lamp!?"
The teacher's words made everyone laugh, and Ailey's face turned red. Seeing that the atmosphere had recovered, the old man stopped exploring the situation, and sighed softly at Ailey, turned around to continue teaching.
The white-haired old man named Tolanche, he was a magician of the "peridot" level. He obtained a magic lecture license when he was young and came to the foothills of the border of the Fares Kingdom for fifty years. There were still fifty or sixty magicians of the "calcite" level who were tested under him.
"Arey, I know your magical talent is stronger than ordinary people!" Tolanche said with concern; he turned around and pointed in the direction of Arey with the magic book he held in his left hand: "But you can't sleep when I'm giving a lecture! What's more, you'll have to take the 'calcite' level exam in a while!"
"Hey, I don't know why I doze off. Sorry, sorry!" Aley nodded to Tolanche with apologized smile. He didn't respond just now and was sorting out the situation. He was still wearing cotton clothes with several patches, with a little rust on the iron sword, not to mention gems; he had no double diamond-shaped reinforced runes on his right hand. It seemed that those just now were just a dream - although this dream was too real, the clothes on his back were completely wet with cold sweat.
"Well, everyone has paid the registration fee. After passing early, you can save yourself from getting a bronze leopard over and over again!" Tolanche shook his head and turned his gaze to the magic book - teaching is his main business; he has to teach the teaching part related to the exam to more than a dozen students in a complete manner, otherwise I would be sorry for his golden signboard over the years...
When it comes to "paying the money", everyone's eyes once again gathered on Ailey: Who doesn't know that this guy is taking the exam through the back door? He doesn't have to pay the registration fee for five bronze leopards at all! Humph, if you have such treatment, you don't listen carefully... It's really hateful!
Ai Lei had no choice but to these jealous eyes - if he could, he wanted to pay the registration fee every time and participate in the calcite level assessment with dignity, but economic conditions really do not allow it!
Aile was raised by his grandfather when he was a child - his parents were buried in the mouth of a monster for a long time, and his grandmother had never even seen him - Aile's grandfather was a "steel tiger" warrior when he was young, and he was definitely a master in the Kingdom of Fares; his love story with his grandmother was something he heard since he was a child, but unfortunately, the poor mercenaries could never get together with the noble daughter.
Since childhood, Elle's grandfather has taught Elle various combat skills, hoping that he can become a Megatron Quartet mercenary; what makes him feel a little dissatisfied is that in addition to dancing swords and guns, Elle is also interested in magic - that magic is not something that poor people can play with? Study, training, exams, and no matter which one is money, it is hard to move forward!
But there was no way, Ailey was interested in this. Fortunately, my grandfather had a sworn brother who was very close to each other - it was Tolanche who taught magic here. Ailey's grandfather had helped Tolanche a lot and saved his life; Tolanche was grateful and always took care of Ailey's mother - the same was true after Ailey's grandfather passed away.
Even with Tolanche's help, Ayre's life is just wandering on the line of food and clothing - he is unwilling to accept the help of this old man for many years. What his grandfather often teaches him is that men should stand up and support themselves, how can they count on others to live? He is already an adult and can make a living by himself!
Of course, Ailey thought so, but the process was not smooth in fact. With his strength, he didn't dare to go deep into the mountains at all. He only dared to deal with a few monsters with no combat power at the foot of the mountain. Those monsters could not even be called the lowest level "tin" level - and then they could use fur, horns, bones, and claws that could be used as materials for money, and the meat was kept for food by themselves - of course, eating meat was definitely not enough, and he also needed to spend money to buy some food. Ailey's grandfather could not farm, so Ailey naturally knew nothing about farming.
Although Tolanche waived Irene's expenses to learn magic and take the exam, Irene still felt that life was unsustainable: he was at the age of a very good appetite, and his clothes should be changed; not to mention the rusty iron sword, although it was a guy who used for his own meals, he felt increasingly unbearable recently; if conditions permit, he should also add some armor, and the defense effect that the cloth clothes can play is quite limited...
Ailey touched his pocket - there was only one tung wolf left; he should be able to exchange it for a large piece of fragrant toast, and only then, he was officially penniless... If he couldn't find his prey quickly after having enough food... well, he shouldn't be starved to death, right?
Thinking of this, Ailey shuddered: He is still young...
In addition to dealing with the monsters, you can also consider receiving some commissions from nearby villages. The closest is Ster Village, where you buy grain and sell materials. You can barely have the strength of "Tin Wolf" and can still complete some commissions and earn some income.
Of course, all this will not be carried out after the exam is over.
