Gu Shi witnessed all of this. The purple lightning flashed before his eyes until he fell asleep. This was the first time he saw the true form of magic.

The next day, he sat in the carriage and listened to others enthusiastically discussing what happened last night.

"That wizard named Kevin is so powerful. He killed so many wolves in one second with just one spell!"

"Damn it, I didn't see anything. I slept so soundly yesterday that I didn't hear anything outside. When I woke up this morning, I was shocked by the number of wolf corpses lying outside."

"I will definitely study hard and strive to be able to knock down a large area with just a wave of my hand one day."

"Why were all the mages showing off last night? I also want to see the warriors show off their prowess. I wish we could do it again."

"What are you thinking about? Isn't it good to be alive?"

…

I don’t know if they have gotten used to riding in the carriage after so many days, or if they were stimulated by what happened last night, but today everyone is very excited and chatting happily.

After surviving this attack, the rest of the journey was relatively peaceful. After all, they were taking the main road, and they were forced to stay in the forest because of heavy rain.

Even if they occasionally encountered some people with bad intentions, they would be tempted to retreat when they saw their large team, plus eight professional bodyguards.

On the twenty-first day after leaving school, they finally arrived at Congleton, the destination of their journey.

The convoy slowly entered the tall city gate. The people in the team couldn't help but stick their heads out of the carriages and look at the city in amazement.

Unlike Cole City, where they had been before, Congleton gave people the first impression of being advanced.

Coming to Congleton is like stepping from the age of cold weapons to the age of steam. If Cole City's main color is a stale yellow, then Congleton is a radiant white.

The neatly laid tiles, the uniquely shaped buildings, the tall towers standing in the distance, and even the street lamps with patterns carved on the pillars beside the road, this beauty, which is completely different from modern cities, has attracted everyone's attention.

As a famous magic capital in the continent, wizards in robes and various magical creations can be seen everywhere on the streets of Congleton. Gu Shi even saw a mechanical puppet walking on the street.

Wang Feng first led the team to find a place to stay, and then asked the adventurer team to go to the union to complete the mission. When they finally settled down, the sky was already tinged with dusk.

The decoration of the hotel in Congleton is also more convenient than other places. The magic stone lamps that light up at the touch of a button, as well as the faucets and water heaters, make everyone feel like they are back home.

Gu Shi still lives with Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan picked up the magic stone lamp and studied it while exclaiming, "Magic is truly amazing! Last time I stayed at that hotel, I thought our living standards were going to regress to the Middle Ages. But now it seems I was overthinking it."

Gu Shi also recalled his last experience staying in a hotel. The water for bathing was boiled in buckets, and everyone had to wait. If Captain Wang had not taken special care of them, he might have had to wait until midnight to take a bath.

When it got dark, everyone used candles, which were not bright enough and easily extinguished. Compared to today, the conditions were completely different.

"I just don't know what the accommodation conditions are like at Congleton College." Gu Shi said.

Ye Yuan guessed: "It shouldn't be worse than this place, after all, it's such a famous academy.

Speaking of which, today is only August 39th. Even if Congleton College starts on October 1st, there are still more than 40 days left. How will Captain Wang arrange for us?

The month division in the other world is different from that on Blue Star. There are only ten months in a year here, and each month has forty days.

They traveled here on July 1st of this world, and the ten years of the system mission were also calculated according to the time of this world.

Gu Shi thought for a moment and said, "I guess they'll wait until the base is built before continuing with the classes? They haven't even finished learning the common language yet."

"Who understands? I finally signed up for a major that doesn't require me to learn English, but now I'm suddenly illiterate and have to learn a more complex language all over again." Ye Yuan said with a look of grief and indignation, "I feel like all the past ten years of studying have been wasted."

Gu Shi thought about it and realized that everyone had to go through the college entrance examination and make it. But the knowledge they learned before was useless now. He felt a little sad.

"After all, we are the first group to learn magic, and we are ahead of everyone else." Gu Shi patted Ye Yuan's shoulder and comforted him.

"But I'm a warrior!" Ye Yuan's mood became even more sad and angry. "I can understand that you mages need to learn literature, but why should we warriors also learn it? I don't mind being illiterate."

"Maybe soldiers also need to take cultural courses. It's worth learning." After Gu Shi said this, he felt that Ye Yuan was hit even harder, so he silently shut up, left the room to Ye Yuan, and went downstairs to have dinner.

They stayed in the hotel for the next three days. Wang Feng went out early and came back late every day, busy looking for a place to stay, but there was still no news, and they couldn't help feeling bored.

During breakfast that day, someone finally couldn't help but ask, "Captain Wang, when can we find a base? It's so hard to be stuck in a hotel all day."

Wang Feng slapped his forehead. He had been running around these past two days and almost forgot that there was a group of college students locked up in the hotel. Fortunately, he discovered it early, otherwise he didn't know what kind of fun they would have caused.

Wang Feng explained: "I've been busy looking at houses these past two days. I didn't expect the house prices in Congleton to be much higher than expected. It will take more time to find a suitable place with a limited budget."

He looked around at them again and continued, "How about this, I'll give each of you a gold coin, and you can go out and have a look around. Congleton is quite interesting."

"However," Wang Feng paused, "those who lost money last time will have five silver coins deducted from their salary. I hope you will remember this lesson and don't cause trouble for me outside."

Wang Feng knew that the last incident wasn't their fault, but what could he do? Warning these students not to cause trouble outside was also to protect their safety.

Especially in Congleton, wizards can be seen everywhere. Kevin, who killed so many wolves with one move last time, was only a fourth-level wizard. He didn't want to see his students go out in good health and come back with missing limbs or even lost their lives.

Wang Feng gave money to each of them and then left in a hurry.

"Are you going out?" Ye Yuan turned around and asked Gu Shi.

Gu Shi nodded and asked, "What about you?"

"I won't go. The last time I was almost scared to death. This is the first time I've been to a cell in my life." Ye Yuan said with lingering fear.

After dinner, Ye Yuan returned to his room, while Gu Shi prepared to go out for a walk.
