Chapter 28
The tall and long-legged boy walked to the wooden door and was not surprised to find that it was ajar.
When the weather is a little hot, my brother likes to open the door to get some fresh air. Anyway, the atmosphere in the town of Lisse is good and every family has extra money, so there is no need to worry about petty theft.
When he was young, Winster never thought that one day he would feel homesick...
With his fingers against the door, Winster took a deep breath to calm his nervous mood, and slowly pushed the door open. Just this small action made him tremble with fear, for fear that the old wooden door would creak and wake up his brother... God knows, he had never been so nervous even when fighting with Warcraft!
The door was carefully pushed open, and what came into view was an empty table and bed, without even any bedding on the bed.
Winster blinked: "......?"
After being stunned for a moment, the boy turned around and looked at the yard, only to find that the table top, which was always piled with a lot of messy plants and plants, was often used by his brother to study things, but now it has become clean!
Winster looked around blankly, then walked into the house in a daze, pried up a floor tile in the corner, and found an empty hole underneath - the clay statue of the God of Wealth that he and his brother had hidden before and didn't want Grandpa Kevin to find was gone... Was it taken away by his brother?
Winster arrived at the door of his grandfather's room again and saw undulating lines on the bed in the dark.
So your brother left alone?
He resisted the urge to wake the old man up and ask him where his brother had gone. No... it was too late, it would scare his grandfather.
He couldn't appear in front of Grandpa during the day, and couldn't leave or come back as he pleased. This was too willful, and my brother never liked willful children...
Winster sat on Elphis's wooden bed in a daze. His long-awaited wish to secretly take a look at his brother was dashed, and he felt very upset.
But he was not too worried that he would never find him. The people in the town of Lisai and Uncle Gray in the city of Raphael must know where his brother went!
By the way, when Grandpa Kawen prays to God every day, he always likes to talk about the people and things around him, and then pray to God to protect everyone...
My brother is my grandfather’s favorite child. Once he leaves, my grandfather will definitely talk about him all the time. I just need to hide and eavesdrop.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to hear where my brother is going tomorrow!
Winster made up his mind and went back to the familiar cave, ready to rest there for a night and keep an eye on the monster he rode over to prevent it from running around and disturbing the town.
Winster was cleaning the dirty cave with cleaning tools - he took these items out of the space ring. The gift he wanted to give to his brother included such a ring.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that he has been so good in the past three years that he can earn tens of thousands of gold coins to buy such good things. Many of the good things in Winster’s hands were found by Samuel in the Warcraft Lair. He unceremoniously sorted out some things to give to his brother, but most of them were not obtained by him personally...
But it doesn’t matter, he will personally bring many good things to give to his brother in the future.
There was a pile of dead leaves when he slept before. Winster was a little confused. It didn't look like he had left it three years ago. Instead, it looked new and not too rotten.
The doubt was fleeting, just a dead leaf...
He swept through the pile of leaves, and a square wooden box appeared in his eyes. Winster was stunned, and then his heart skipped a beat. He dropped the broom and opened the unlocked wooden box with a secret expectation.
Inside was a bag of coins and a letter with his name on it.
＊＊＊
Aurelion recruits young wizards who dream of becoming powerful, but everyone has dreams, but not everyone will persist in making progress.
In an academy with a total population of over ten thousand, teachers simply cannot always look after someone. Children in the six grades are all at an energetic age. There are some top students, but there are even more who are undisciplined and like to play.
Most children are biased in their studies. They study the cool magic techniques seriously, but for courses that require written exams such as history and ancient Chinese, they forget what they have learned as soon as they hear it, and rarely review it privately.
As the monthly exam is approaching, some people have started to cram, but some freshmen still don’t care - I am good at magic, as long as I don’t lose in future battles, those things tested on the paper will be of no use.
The freshmen complained as they walked, and the seniors who passed by them moved their lips but decided to remain silent.
Thinking that there would be a large number of people who would suffer the same bitter consequences as he did, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a perverted arc!
"Oh, what's the point of reading so many books every day? Do you remember them?"
Eugene carried the food basket to Elphis' dormitory, and as expected, he saw this man reading a book leisurely again. And as he delivered the food to the door, he looked more and more like a servant!
Elphis now had a bit of a "whoever feeds you is your mother" mentality towards Eugene, and was very tolerant of the little kid. When he saw someone coming, he politely put down his book, took the basket, took out all the dishes and put them on the small table, "You've worked hard today."
Although the young master had the servants line up early to pick up the food for each meal, and then deliver it to the entrance of the academy for Eugene to pick up (Aurelian did not allow outsiders to enter), he was not tired at all. Elphis still thanked him very gently and invited the child to eat with him - mainly because he was afraid that the child would tamper with the food, so he felt at ease eating together.
The young master snorted arrogantly, then sat down opposite Elphis as usual.
In the past half month, it can be said that Eugene is the student in the school who has the most contact with Elphis, even far more than everyone in Class 1.
Eugene glanced at the book the other party had just put down. A list of species in the divine realm and the abyss?
The young master didn't know whether he was being sarcastic or reminding him, "You're going to take exams soon. Are you familiar with all the monster species nowadays? Do you still have time to read some miscellaneous books?"
What's the point of looking at those ancient beasts that exist in legends and are probably extinct?
Elphis smiled and said, "Just a little curious." After all, apart from occasionally going to the Colosseum to watch the fights among senior students, there was no other entertainment.
Eugene was particularly annoyed that no matter what he said, the other party always had a frivolous and gentle attitude, which made him seem childish.
But he also clearly remembered that day when he was kicked to the ground, the silver-haired boy looked down at him, his expressionless and beautiful face was noble and indifferent, which made people feel afraid and yearning...
In Eugene's eyes, Elphis is a complex and contradictory person, who is obviously different from ordinary classmates.
Besides, he is a candidate for the Holy See, so there is no harm in dealing with him.
Of course, these were just Eugene's subconscious thoughts. His rational mind was saying: Elphis was so secretive about his abilities that he embarrassed him, and he had to be a servant for a month. The young master had never been treated so unfairly! He had to get back at Elphis!
"Your elemental affinity is at the maximum level, and I admit that you are fast in cultivation, but you will definitely not be able to beat me in the exam." It's okay that he has been exposed to this knowledge for a short time. Look at the books he reads all day. The teacher never mentioned it at all, so how could he be tested on these useless things.
Elphis took a mouthful of porridge and answered casually: "Yeah, you are better than me."
Eugene felt a lump in his heart: Thank you, I feel so perfunctory.
The young master rolled his eyes, raised his head and said, "But I haven't really listened to the lessons since school started, so I don't know what the teacher will test on. It's not impossible for you to beat me."
Elphis: “Oh.”
"Do you want to compete again? If I win, you will bring me food for a month. If you win, I will bring you food for an extra month."
"sure."
Eugene was just about to say something to encourage him to agree, but he received the answer immediately. Seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, Eugene held his breath and snorted coldly again.
Elphis: “?” Teenagers’ tempers are indeed very unstable.
In fact, he agreed to the bet not because he was fully confident, and Elphis did not understand the difficulty and style of Aurelion's exams. However, the bet was just a small matter, so it would be okay to agree to it. What if he could get an extra month's advantage? It would be a fool not to take advantage of the opportunity. Anyway, this guy is quite rich.
The first monthly exam arrived as scheduled with everyone either looking forward to it or resisting it.
The ancient Chinese class tests oral and written translation, and even requires students to write a short essay... This is impossible for students who are only familiar with a little ancient spells!
Half of the history paper was about things the teacher hadn't covered in the past month.
In the Potions and Alchemy classes, the teachers usually only give oral explanations, but this time, in addition to the written test, there is also a practical test?! No, most of them will not choose to enter the industry in the future, so why not just listen a little and take the test casually? ?
The teacher who taught Warcraft randomly selected the names of thirty species from the ten-centimeter-thick book distributed by the academy, and asked the students to write down their appearance characteristics, habits and weaknesses.
The teacher who guides the communication and control of elements asks everyone to put down their staffs, stop chanting spells, and use their bare hands to attract the elements and mold them into the shape of dragons. The more similar they are, the higher the score will be.
The exams for other courses were not easy either. As time went on, students became more and more afraid, even senior students. Because the more times they took the exam, the more they realized their own ignorance!
The monthly exam is over, and the freshmen don’t care about their terrible grades. They are only curious about one thing - is there a kind teacher in this college?
＃ They could have just hit me, but the teachers would set up an exam first to find an excuse to break my spirit! ＃
In Class 1, after the examination papers of the last exam were collected, the geniuses who were full of confidence before have now wilted like cabbages exposed to the sun.
Unable to bear the blows one after another, these usually arrogant magic geniuses began to find excuses to excuse themselves: the teachers' test questions were too beyond the scope of the curriculum, I will be able to handle them easily in a few years, I am still young now, it is normal not to know so many things, I am not a waste...
Everyone comforted themselves like this, and then turned around to look around. Great, I felt relieved when everyone had the same expression as me... Wait, what's going on with Elphis!
Why is this person still as calm and composed as always, with a relaxed posture!
Elphis felt many eyes on him, and he looked up and glanced at them - was it an illusion? He seemed to read five parts of anger, three parts of doubt and two parts of jealousy.
Al Adult Face sighed once again: It’s really hard to understand the minds of teenagers!
Alice came over again to get information. The cute girl looked at him with envy: "El, you were so smooth in controlling the elemental power. You will definitely get the highest score."
The boy smiled modestly: "I'm just very friendly, so I have an advantage in this exam."
"But you don't look worried at all. You must have done well in other courses. I guess you are the first."
The young man shook his head and said in a gentle tone, "How could it be possible? The test questions were unexpectedly difficult for me, but there is no point in worrying. Anyway, I have tried my best."
Although he answered most of the questions fluently and should have no problem passing all the subjects, Elphis never thought about getting the first place - everyone seemed to study easily and confidently on weekdays, so they must have accumulated a lot of knowledge in the past!
(Classmate: emmm...)
Elphis also wanted to get into the top ten and go to the tower to take a look, but he didn't expect to be qualified this time... Forget it, if he tried harder, there were still six years, and there would always be a chance to get in based on the monthly exam results. If he wanted to get in the tower through team battles, it was time to observe which kids were suitable to be team members.
On the other side, Alice looked at him doubtfully and praised him for his calm mentality.
There will be no classes later, so Elphis doesn't plan to stay in the classroom any longer. "I'm new to potion making and alchemy, so I plan to ask a senior who specializes in it for advice. I'll leave now."
Alice nodded, looking at the handsome figure in silence: Is this strange? Weren't his movements smooth and natural during the previous two exams?! I thought he had done this many times before!
Elphis: Follow the process taught by the teacher and let the result be what it is (Buddha-style tea drinking.jpg)
The girl who was close to Alice asked her, "Did he do well in the exam?"
Alice hesitated for a moment. "It doesn't seem like that. I'm just so calm because I simply accepted the reality."
The teenagers waiting for the answers in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief - it was okay as long as everyone did poorly on the exam.
Maybe Elphis is the last one? Thinking of this, those who were worried about being at the bottom suddenly felt much better!
＊＊＊
Elphis walked towards the area for senior grades. He was not very interested in magic potions and alchemy. He just wanted to make sure he could pass future exams. It was too troublesome to keep pestering the teacher to teach him the practical operations, so he thought about finding two mid-level pharmacist and alchemist seniors to give him tutoring. He could just hire them directly without having to spend time building good relationships.
The boy's steps suddenly stopped, he turned his head to the left and met a man's suspicious eyes.
The man was dozens of meters away from him, with black hair and brown eyes, a handsome and tough face, a tall and sturdy figure, and a neat and tight suit. Anyone picked out from Aurelion Academy and placed next to him would look delicate and weak.
This kind of temperament seems out of place in the magic academy. No need to guess, he must be from the Rockefeller Sword Master Academy.
The Royal City gathers the most dignitaries and wealthy businessmen on this continent, but there are only four recognized behemoths, located in four directions of the Royal City - the Royal Palace, the Church, the Aurelian School of Magic, and the Rockefeller Sword Master School.
Many magicians and swordsmen are prejudiced against each other. The former believe that their abilities are the closest to those of gods, and swordsmen who cannot control the elements are inferior to them.
The latter believed that magicians were weak bones that would fall to the ground with a single push, and that they could be killed with a single sword throw before they could finish chanting their spells.
The deans of the two colleges have a good relationship. In order to correct the mentality of the little bastards, they select exchange students every semester. The strongest group from each college will go to the other college to beat up the arrogant students and learn some new knowledge at the same time.
Elphis smiled at the man who had been staring at him for a while. If he guessed correctly, this man was Rockefeller's team leader this semester?
After a brief hesitation, he gave up. He didn't really want to socialize with a stranger, so he just assumed that the other person was looking at him a few more times because he was good-looking.
The boy walked away, and Jared, who was left behind, scratched his short hair in confusion...the brat from the Lancaster family?
No, his brother never told him that he had a child in Aurelion, otherwise, given his brother's character, he would have told him long ago to take good care of (destroy) the child.
Well, he must be too sensitive. It's not just the Lancasters who inherit that hair color.
Jared suddenly thought of the child who disappeared fifteen years ago. He couldn't help but look back at the boy's back...
Unfortunately, that incident happened before he and Linton became friends. In order not to make others feel uncomfortable, he did not ask about the specific circumstances. He didn't even know what characteristics the child had, whether he inherited his father's silver hair, or what the color of his eyes was. He couldn't just contact his friends based on the boy's silver hair.
Moreover, the child had a calm and relaxed demeanor. He radiated wisdom when he wasn't smiling, and was well-behaved and gentle when he smiled. Then thinking about the Lancaster family... Jared couldn't help but twitch his lips - he didn't look like one of their family at all!
Even though he had already made a judgment, Jared couldn't let it go for some reason, so he decided to find out more information about the child.
——
Two days later, Alphis went to the teacher's office to return the book.
It’s been a month since the start of school, and this is the first time I’ve seen so many teachers sitting in this big room. Usually, they leave after class, and are rarely seen. It seems that only marking exams can keep them in the office...
"Mr. Becky, excuse me, I'm here to return the book."
The young man called quietly and placed a directory of species from the divine realm and the abyss on the old man’s desk.
When Becky saw him, he couldn't help but smile fondly, "Al, you did well in the Warcraft exam this time."
The boy was puzzled: "But I left five questions blank." Five out of thirty questions left blank, that's not bad?
"It's hard for others to get even half the marks." The old man had confidence in Elphis, "Try to get full marks this semester. By the way, this book is also very interesting, take it and read it."
"Thank you, teacher."
Other people in the office also praised Elphis for his good performance. In fact, the test papers had not been graded yet, but everyone saw how studious this child was and they liked him very much, so they took out his test paper and looked at it after the test.
Elphis exchanged greetings with the teachers and had another pile of books in his arms.
He put the book into the space ring and was about to say goodbye and leave when Eli called him, "Al, take the ancient language translation test papers to the class and distribute them."
His class will start soon, and the children in Class 1 should be arriving in the classroom one after another.
Elphis' body stiffened. Eli saw the obvious hesitation on his face and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is it too much trouble for you to hand out the test papers?"
Although he was too embarrassed to explain the reason for his hesitation, Elphis finally accepted the responsibility!
On the way, the boy looked through the test paper in his hand anxiously. Occasionally he remembered something, but he was not quite sure... Never mind, he decided to ask his classmates.
There were already more than a dozen students sitting in the first class. Elphis walked up to the young man closest to the door, glanced at the top test paper in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, has Leopold arrived in the classroom?"
Leopold Wordsworth, questioned: "..."
The boy stared at him and moved his lips. Excuse me, are you polite?
