The tuition fees of the orthodox school of magic are very expensive.
Even wise's parents knew this, and even the private school run by the town could not afford to send little Riddell to read it. They were also worried about it.
In addition to the village head's request for tuition fees, huaisi asked for a letter from the village head for two years.
Fortunately, when he was young, the old village head also made a tumbleweed and wandered outside for a long time. He also knew some anecdotes on weekdays.
He told father wise that the fees of the more regular magic schools were five gold coins a year, while the fees of private magic colleges, which were privately organized by some great nobles, were more expensive. However, according to the fact that the admission notice sent by this Aldrich college did not indicate the charge, the default fee of five gold coins should be used.
Five gold coins?! And it's only a year!
Father wise felt his heart stop for a moment.
When he got home, father wise took tobacco and wheat poles and smoked one by one, making the whole room full of smoke.
In the eyes of the villagers, the magician is the existence of those noble masters who are on the top of the world. They are absolutely lucky that little Riedel can be looked after by those great masters. As long as he can graduate from school, he can naturally become one of the old men. He doesn't have to continue to sow seeds and sweat in the fields all his life Yes.
Being a parent naturally hopes that their children will have a promising future and live a better life than themselves. So, father wise gritted his teeth and decided to send little Riedel to the school of magic.
He gouged out a black pottery pot from the mud under his bed, which was solid as bricks. The jar was sealed with mud. It was not light, and it felt heavy when he held it in his hands. After pulling out the pot, he smashed the old pot into pieces in the scream of his daughter-in-law.
All of a sudden, the copper corner accompanied by the fragments of the pottery pot splashed all over the ground, and there were even a lot of silver coins in it, that is, the so-called silver coins.
The wise began to save money after little Riedel was born. It was originally intended to wait until Riedel was well enough to buy him a family property and marry a daughter-in-law, but now it seems that it will have to be used up in advance.
But even so, there is still a big gap in funds. After all, Riedel was only nine years old, and the wise had only saved a little more than three and a half gold coins in nine years, which was not a small gap from five gold coins.
As a result, father wise, who had always had a good face and was called stubborn cow by the villagers, gave up his self-esteem for the first time, and begged his grandfather and grandmother to borrow money along the entrance of the village. Finally, after saying countless good words and writing numerous IOUs, he filled up five gold coins and left three silver coins for little Riedel to use as living expenses.
Although he was still young, Riedel also felt how heavy the bag containing gold coins and admission notice was. If it had not been for his father wise's insistence that he go to school, he might have given up the chance to study in the magic academy and continue to be his wild child in the village.
Fortunately, he was still a child. His yearning for the school of magic made him forget his sadness and began to look forward to the 30th of acorn month day and night.
There was nothing to hide from the village, and soon the news that little Riedel was admitted to the school of witchcraft and Wizardry spread throughout the village. On the morning of the 30th of acorn month, although there was only little Riedel with the admission notice outside the wise's house, everyone, including the wise couple, secretly watched the movement outside.
After waiting for more than an hour, little Riedel's patience was almost exhausted, and his attention gradually shifted from the entrance of the village to the Sluggers in the grass. Suddenly, someone's voice of surprise rang out.
"Look at the sky!"
So for a moment, the whole village looked up at the sky, and saw the scene that they would never forget.
It was a huge building boat.
The nearly 40 meter long empty boat broke through the clouds. The rafters and Bridge pulled countless white ribbon clouds like aircraft wing clouds from the clouds. The flat bottom of the boat broke through the thick clouds blocking the sunrise, occupying all people's vision, and falling towards the ground with a momentum like meteorite falling!
The unique golden red light of Chaoyang immediately threw a slanting column of light from the hole in the cloud, which just covered the empty boat, making it look like it was sailing along the light.
Then the villagers suddenly found that if he landed at this speed and angle, little Riedel would be crushed into meat cakes! Little Riedel seemed to be petrified, and the whole body stood still, not even father wise's anxious cry came into the little boy's ears.
Just when everyone thought the little boy would be smashed into a puddle of meat and mud, the huge empty boat suddenly stopped, but the strong wind brought by inertia made Riedel fall.
Asked Riedel, who hovered over a series of short, awe inspiring eyes, and then stood at a distance of half a centimeter from the ground."Ask you, are you idrick's new entrant, Riedel wise?"
***
tie up your seat belt, sit on the empty boat Liaoning (named by Seaver), watch from the round window that the village where he was born is getting smaller and smaller, and Riedel doesn't know whether he is more excited or nervous.
In addition to him, there are many children in the cabin. According to their clothes, it seems that there are all kinds of children, ranging from aristocratic tycoons to civilian farmers. Moreover, the average age is about 10 years old. I don't know how this school of magic chose its students.
After a while, the empty boat climbed to a high enough height, and the vibration of the hull was reduced a lot. After that, the message of letting them move freely came from the microphone. Tired of the cloud or cloud view outside the window, little Riedel immediately untied his seat belt and began to wander around the cabin.
Because the most important magic engine and the captain's room have special guard and protection magic, and the road to the deck is not open by these little guys with thin arms and legs because of the air pressure, so the little Banshee in charge of Liaoning is not afraid of these little guys running around.
"Hey, are you the one who just came up?" A child in suspender overalls, striped shirts, and a large Beret saw Riedel, who seemed to be at a loss, spoke to him.
"Yes, I am." "My name is Riedel wise. How about you?"
"Camiyo scria." The boy in the beret replied with a smile, and then he began to chat with Riddell with great familiarity.
What? He used to work in the magic workshop to make money. The owner of the magic workshop was very dark, and his enchanting skills were extremely bad. The fruit of Niagara was delicious. All kinds of messy topics were strung together by him, and he said it too naturally.
At the same time, he easily took a lot of things out of Riedel's mouth, most of which were trivial things.
"Riedel, do you know about the vampire invasion not long ago?" The friendship between children is very easy to establish. After a long chat, the two people have become very familiar. Camille took Riedel's neck and asked him gently in his ear as if he were talking about state secrets.
"Kamiyou, it's itchy..." It's a pity that Riedel didn't intend to cooperate with Camille. He immediately broke free from his arm and scratched his ear: "in that case, I heard uncle nieber say in the tavern that those vampires were beaten away by her Majesty's Royal Knights and the battle vultures before they could fight in."
A member of the reserve team said, "it's a pity that I don't look at the boy's face! If they dare to fight in, I can let them taste the power of the crossbow in our village
In fact, Riedel just wanted to put gold on his face in front of his friends he had just met. The reserve member of the self police force joked with his group of IMPs a few months ago. The so-called stone crossbow is just an old bow that can't be pulled completely by even the village's first strongman. It's just a waste of old bows, which can't even be pulled off by the first strongman in the village In a broken board car, using the rib weapon of crossbow on the rocker, the string is slow, the power is just passable, and the biggest result is that a rhinoceros Raptor is killed from a long distance.
"You're kidding. Vampires are already in the Empire at that time, OK?" Kamiyu mercilessly exposed Riedel's hearsay and said, "I didn't hit you because it was too remote! Although there were still Royal Knights and Griffins, at that time the imperial army was defeated and retreated
"Deceiving, then the Empire will be over long ago!" Riddell blushed and argued.
"You really don't know anything." Kamiyou's face was "you can't help it." he said, "have you heard of the college we're going to now?"
Riedel shook his head awkwardly, not to mention Aldrich college. He had never heard of St. doragon college, the first in the eastern plains
"I knew that." Kamiyou had such a look on his face. Then he approached Riedel and said mysteriously, "it is said that the reason why the empire can hold on this time is because of the relationship between this academy! It is said that the Academy flew directly to the top of the vampire army in the decisive battle, and then released a forbidden spell to blow up the vampire army directly! "
"Really, really!" Riedel opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief.
"What did I lie to you for? Besides, didn't you see the one who just got off the boat to pick you up? Do you know what that is? " Kamiyou continued to act like a Bai Xiaosheng, intriguing Riedel's curiosity.
"That It's kind of like goblin... " Riedel scratched for a long time, and at last said uncertainly.
"Stupid, that's called red hat. It's a kind of goblin! It is said that one can rival an army
"So powerful!"
"Of course."Just as Riedel became more and more awed by the misdirection of Camille, the empty boat finally completed the task of picking up new students and began to return to the empty island (to be continued.
