In the afternoon, Yake set off to inquire about the news of Howling Cliffs. He went there not long ago and came back in more than an hour.
"My lord, no one has heard of this place name, but a bard said that judging from the characteristics of the place name, he seems to have seen a similar place, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the north of Gwent Forest." Yake said Came back with a vague message.
Link thought for a while, then said: "Well, you go and get a reward investigation mission, we will pay people to investigate this place, and when you have news, please contact me."
"Okay, my lord." Yake nodded.
During this time, Link has been packing, and Lucy is also helping. She was usually a very capable woman, but this time she was babbling and giving all kinds of advice, just like the old lady, wishing she could follow Link to the East Valley Academy of Magic.
Link was both troubled and heart-warming, and finally had to stuff a lot of daily necessities into the space pendant in a mess, such as towels, thick quilts, changes of clothes, and even various delicious snacks specially made by Lucy Wait, wait, everything, almost filling the space with pendants.
Early the next morning, Link got into a hired carriage and headed all the way to East Valley School of Magic.
All the way without words.
More than an hour later, the gate of East Valley School of Magic appeared in front of him. Beside the gate, the gatekeeper Vincent was still basking in the sun in his garden. When he saw Link coming down from the carriage, he sneered and said, "Boy, I thought this I won't be able to see you in my life, but I didn't expect you to actually enter the Magic Academy."
Although in Hegu Town, Link, a magician, is already quite famous, but East Valley Academy of Magic is a paradise-like existence, in which the magicians have their eyes high above the top, and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. Link's reputation It didn't come through at all.
Coupled with the cover of Verola's Hidden Feather, in Vincent's eyes, Link is still that poor boy with low magic talent.
Of course, Link didn't take Vincent's ridicule to heart, gave him a mage salute, and said with a smile, "Yeah, I feel very lucky too. Then, Mr. Vincent, I'll go in first."
"Go, don't disappoint your good luck." Vincent nodded. Although the talent is not good, the boy is very humble, and he regards him as an ordinary magic apprentice who cannot be more ordinary.
The number of such apprentices he saw was less than a thousand a year, and there were eight hundred, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
Link walked into the East Valley, and behind him was a flat path. Walking along the path, about a few hundred meters away, there was a corner, and when he walked over, his vision suddenly brightened, and he suddenly became enlightened!
Ahead, is a very wide valley.
The golden sunlight flows down like a waterfall, and there is a spacious flat land in the middle of the valley. On the flat ground, there are blue-roofed and gold-rimmed magic towers standing in forests. On the top of the towers, there are countless brilliant magic runes flowing, and the torrents of elements are criss-crossing in the air, connecting the towers together like spider webs. Together. Between the towers, there are flowers and green trees dotted, and a small stream winds around the college, and the clear stream is shining brightly in the sun.
What a magical city!
'It's such a beautiful place, but it's a pity that it may become ruins soon. In Link's heart, there was both admiration and regret.
Although he got the magic rune now, which initially destroyed the plan of the dark elves, but the dark elves are not dead, and they will definitely find another way to release the demon Taruvis.
What means will the opponent use? Link couldn't guess that the only thing he could do was to continuously improve his strength before the disaster happened, so that if the disaster really happened, he would not stand by and watch.
Near the valley entrance, there is also a huge square. People walk by from time to time in the square, all of them are magicians. They look hurried, as if they are racing against time.
At the front of the square, there is a huge statue of a magician.
Link walked over and looked at the nameplate at the bottom of the statue, which read: 'Founder of East Valley School of Magic, first dean, level 8 great magician Imbron. '
Below is a sentence from the dean: "For magic to last forever, you must do two things. First, seek the truth. Second, seek the power to defend the truth!"
Link couldn't help but nodded: "This old gentleman really understands."
Crossing the square, Link took out a piece of paper, which was the route map Verola gave him: "From the square, follow the widest road and walk all the way in. The third tower on the left hand side has a statue of a hound standing at the door... ah ,found it."
The magician Bell is as high as level 6, and he has a high status in the East Valley Magic Academy. He is a member of the core six-member council of the Magic Academy. His magic tower is obviously taller than the surrounding towers, and the decoration is more exquisite and luxurious.
Walking to the door, Link summoned a magic water mirror. This was a little trick that Link learned when he was bored. He straightened his clothes and knocked on the door lightly.
After a while, the wooden door opened. The person who opened the door was a young magician. Judging by his age, he was about thirty years old. Link observed the other party's information.
drake
Level 2 Ordinary Magician
Status: One of the apprentices and assistants of the magician Bell.
The information is brief and doesn't reveal what magic the opponent has, but it's enough.
Drake saw an ordinary boy who couldn't be more ordinary standing outside the door. The mana on his body was weak and pitiful, and his brows were slightly frowned. In the morning, the mentor Bell greeted him and said that there would be A young man came to learn magic, let him receive it.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but when he saw this boy, Draco suddenly felt a sense of disdain: "A trash who came in through the back door!"
This is his evaluation of Link.
Drake is not good at hiding his emotions, but he also knows that although such a person is useless, he should be able to get instructions from his mentor, and he should have a strong background, so it is not easy to offend. After frowning, he turned a cold face He asked, "Are you Link?"
"Yes, I am." Link saw the contempt in the opponent's eyes, but he didn't care. He came to learn magic and investigate Bell Magician by the way. As for other things, he didn't have time to pay attention.
"Have you brought a letter of recommendation?"
"Of course." Link handed him the letter from Verola, which was written by Annie as the royal family of Abel, and it was very important.
After receiving the envelope, seeing the imprint of a roaring lion on the wax paint, Draco felt restless in his heart again: "What a lucky boy, I don't know what kind of skills he has, he managed to climb up to the royal family."
His expression became colder: "Come in."
Follow Drake into the hall on the first floor. The hall is spacious and bright. There are many tables and chairs in it. There are many young people here, about thirty or so in number.
Some young people are studying hard, some are quietly meditating, and some are experimenting with magic. In the corner of the hall is a large semi-circular bookcase filled with books, at least three hundred.
On the other side of the hall, there is a small wine cabinet. There is actually a bartender behind the cabinet. Beside the cabinet, several young people are chatting softly while drinking, which is a bit like a tavern. Link listened to a few words and found that they were talking about magic.
"The learning atmosphere is very strong." Link sighed.
He carefully felt the magic energy of these young people, and he found that the young people here were at least at the level of intermediate magic apprentices, and many of them were even one step away from becoming official magicians.
"This level is much higher than that of Fleming College." Link sighed in his heart.
Drake took Link to a table in the far corner of the hall and stood there: "This is your position. You are an auditor. When a tutor is teaching, you can only listen, not ask, and you cannot Affect the order of the classroom, understand?"
In other words, Link only has the right to participate and has no right to speak, because his magic foundation is too low, and the questions he asks will delay the time of other formal apprentices.
But that's enough.
Link nodded: "I remember."
"Fine. Follow me and I'll take you to your room."
Draco walked towards the corner of the hall, Link hurriedly followed. Finally, the two stopped in front of a low, narrow door under the spiral staircase in the hall.
"This is your room."
This was originally a storage room under the stairs. It was very narrow and could not be occupied by people, but the instructor temporarily arranged for a person to come in, and the other rooms were full. The instructor spoke in a somewhat casual tone.
Drake felt the mentor's attitude. He didn't care much about this apprentice, but he had to make arrangements due to the identity of the other party, so he decided to arrange Link here.
As he said that, he opened the door, and inside the door was a small room less than five square meters, with a small bed, no table, only a bedside table, but there was a small window, and it was cleaned very cleanly.
Link only has magic in his heart, and he doesn't care much about his external living conditions. Otherwise, he would not live safely in the attic of the hotel in River Valley Town. He nodded, thanked him, and took his luggage into the room.
On the surface, he doesn't have much luggage, just a few changes of clothes and a few magic books that are deceptive, just put them in the bedside table and you're done.
Draco was still standing at the door. Seeing that Link had finished fiddling, he continued: "The last thing, as a magic apprentice, you still need to complete some daily tasks. What kind of magic do you know now?"
"I know how to perform stone thorns." Link said, this is what Verola greeted him in advance, and his current status is a very elementary magic apprentice.
"Stonthorn? Very good." Draco turned and shouted to an apprentice in the hall, "Warwick, bring a stack of blank scrolls!"
The magic apprentice named Warwick quickly ran over with a large stack of blank scrolls. When he handed the scrolls to Drake, he glanced at Link in the room sympathetically: "This guy is really unlucky." Not to mention living in the worst room in the entire magic tower, and doing the most tiring job of drawing magic scrolls."
Drake sent Warwick away, and placed the stack of scrolls on Link's bedside table indifferently with the hand of a mage: "I heard that you have studied in other magic schools for a while, and the basic skills of drawing scrolls will be familiar. right?"
Link nodded: "I will."
Drawing magic scrolls is the branch of enchantment. Link's current level of enchantment, in this magic tower, if he does not count the 6th-level magician Bell, he can definitely rank first, and the mere magic scroll is naturally no problem. Go to the syndicate lair first. , he prepared more than 20 scrolls for himself.
Of course, this ability can't be shown in Bell Tower of Magic, and Link even put away his matchsticks, and now he only uses an ordinary whiteboard wand that he made casually.
"That's good. Take these. You need to complete at least three stone thorn scrolls every day. A finished scroll can only allow two additional blank scrolls to be scrapped. If it exceeds, you will have to pay for it. For one blank scroll, the compensation is 3 But if you complete the scroll, you will be rewarded with 1 silver coin. For the corresponding silver ink and rune pen, you can get it from Warwick just now. Do you understand?"
Link heard this, and couldn't help complaining secretly: "It's so dark, a zero-level magic scroll can be sold for at least 6 silver coins, and the cost is definitely not more than 2 silver coins, and the price of an ordinary blank scroll like this is only 50." A copper coin, not to mention only one silver coin for completing one, and three silver coins for an additional damaged one. It's no wonder that every famous magician in the game is so rich that he made money by exploiting his apprentices. '
However, although it is not fair to the magic apprentices, if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it is fine.
Link keenly felt that this should be one of the important sources of income for a magic tower. In the future, he will definitely have his own magic tower and his own magic apprentice. With a learning attitude, he nodded respectfully and said "I see."
"Very well, that's it." Draco turned and left, and the door of the room was closed by him.
The room fell silent, Link sat on the bed and let out a long breath.
A message flashed across the horizon.

Player Freedom Points +5.
This task was taken when he first came to Gwent Forest, and it was only completed at this time.

As a result, Link's free points were increased by 20 points, plus the 30 point reward for escaping the syndicate's lair, and his free points reached 50 points at this time.
'My magic is weak for one and a half months, and it's almost over. At this time, I need to save these things. When I fully recover, I will buy another high-level magic! ' Link thought so.
At this time, another message started to flash in the field of vision, and Link looked over.

Task reward: 25 free points.
Then this task was also completed directly, because Link mastered a 2-record defensive magic: Guardian Barrier.

There was another message flashing in the field of vision. When I opened it, it was another promotion task.

Well, it seems that this task can continue forever, which is really good.
Then he now has three missions, one is the promotion series mission, one is to investigate the magician Bell, and the other is to find the Howling Cliff.
'It's really busy. Link sighed, took out a blank scroll, and began to draw the planar magic structure of Stone Thorn on the scroll.
