my age of magic

Chapter 1562 112. Senior Vernon's New Residence

Thin mist-like clouds hung over the rim of the ringed peaks of Monte Majaro, making them seem like ethereal shadows.

A glass window in the corridor was blown open by the wind, and the north wind blew the residual snow on the window sill to the floor. The ceiling lamp in the corridor was violently swayed by the wind. I went up and closed the window. The curtains were sucked out of the window by the strong wind, so I had to put down the white paper, hold on to the window and pull the curtains back with difficulty.

A hand stretched out from behind me to help me hold the window, allowing me to pull the curtain back smoothly.

I turned around to thank the man, only to find that Master Freeman, the dean of teaching, was standing behind me. The expression on his face was like that of a 'J' on a poker card, and his two black, thin, upward-turned beards were particularly expressive. , He lowered his eyes and looked at the parchment-bound white paper in my hand, and said to me in a light tone: "Jijia, the bell for class has already rung, why are you still standing in the corridor in a daze, instead of Go to class?"

"In addition, this is the teaching area for the third grade. If I remember correctly, your classroom should be downstairs!" He turned his head and glanced at the classroom sign on the other side of the corridor, and asked me.

"Director Freeman..." I was just about to explain, but I was just preparing my emotions at the door of the classroom. After all, it takes a little courage to step up to the podium for the first time.

"No need to explain, hurry up and go to class, not every teacher can bear the lateness of his students!" Director Freeman interrupted me, waved his hand gently and said to me.

A few seniors slipped past in the corridor at this time, and they tried to sneak into the classroom while Director Freeman was teaching me.

"Students, my words are also a warning to you." Director Freeman added in a timely manner to their backs. Unfortunately, those seniors didn't dare to look back at all, and didn't dare to stop, and quickly disappeared into the classroom. the door.

"That... Director, I am teaching in this classroom." I stood up straight and said to Director Freeman.

"How do you take the magic class in the third grade?" Director Freeman asked me a little surprised.

I turned my head and glanced at the bronze-colored classroom door, and said to the teaching director Freeman: "The academic affairs of the college arranged for me to take an elective course on water magic runes here, Director Freeman!"

"..."

Director Freeman froze in place, waved to me after three seconds, then turned and left.

……

Walking into the somewhat noisy classroom, the door wrapped in copper skin made a long 'creak' sound, and the classroom quickly fell silent.

I stepped onto the podium, and the eyes of the seniors and sisters in the classroom wearing all kinds of magic robes fell on me. They looked at me in surprise, but fortunately, no one whistled or whistled at the same time. hiss.

I stood on the podium, put the white paper bound with magic parchment on the podium, and pretended to be calm and said to this group of third-year seniors and sisters: "The Academic Affairs Office of the college arranged for me to attend a class for all the seniors and sisters." class, then in the next class, I will introduce this special water magic rune to you in detail. Good afternoon, seniors and sisters. I am a magic student in the second class of the fire department in the second grade of the college. My name is Jijia! "

After listening to my self-introduction, the classroom exploded with a 'boom'.

The seniors in the classroom were whispering to each other, and the seniors were also whispering. No one wanted to believe this fact.

"Damn, isn't this the kid who defeated Senior William on the roof of the teaching building?" A senior's voice came out from the noisy discussion.

"It's really him!" Someone immediately echoed.

"I heard that he is from the north." Then someone in class introduced my background to the surrounding students.

Some insiders also told about my love life: "What is this? He married Mr. Qige and Haiyinsi's Princess Yingli as a first-year magic student, how could he come to teach us? "

Then people started to ask me some questions: "What can he teach us?"

When the classroom was in chaos, the back door of the classroom was quietly pushed open, and several teachers of rune literature walked in quietly from outside the door. Sean Scholar and Vice President Hastings were also among the group of people. The magic student sitting in the back row couldn't help exclaiming: "Master Vice President, Scholar Xiaon..."

Everyone in the classroom turned their heads to look at the door of the back door. The classroom suddenly became silent. One of the seniors in a gorgeous magic robe stood up from his seat, and with a bit of anxiety, he looked at the magician who walked in through the back door. They asked: "Mr. Constantine, Mr. Albert, Mr. Atley, you..."

Under the leadership of Vice President Hastings, these magic teachers sat in the empty seats at the back of the classroom in an orderly manner. Among them, a rune teacher raised a finger and whispered to the magic students in the classroom. Said: "Hush! Please keep the classroom quiet. We are just like you. We are here to learn this water magic rune."

"Jijia, can you start now?" Vice President Hasting raised his hand on the seat and asked in a peaceful voice.

"Yes, Mr. Vice President!" I quickly stood up on the stage and replied loudly.

I picked up a piece of blue chalk from the desk, and quickly drew a wonderful water-type rune on the blackboard, then tried to relax a bit, and said: "As we all know, the current water-type magic known in the Grimm Empire There are a total of 370 seven runes, but the primary water magic runes we have access to are even less than two hundred, and this rune is a special rune completely outside of these runes. It comes from a Jana magic book ..."

"Its drawing method is different from the previous rune drawing method..."

"...So this kind of scale-like magic pattern is the basic brushwork of this rune. You can try it and experience it."

This new water rune is also a big challenge for me. It is not difficult to give a theoretical explanation on the blackboard, but the difficulty lies in using the water magic element to activate this rune in front of me. I can only do it ten times. It has only been drawn successfully two or three times, so the most embarrassing thing for me is to condense water elements five times in a row to draw this "д"-shaped rune.

It was not until the last time that a relatively stable magic rune pattern was formed in front of me. The light blue lines flickered intermittently with the light of water elements, and the whole classroom burst into applause.

I took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from my forehead. This method of stacking lines was also what Princess Ariel told me the day before yesterday through Ying Li's mouth. I can only do this for the time being.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang, and I picked up the magic white paper on the podium and slowly walked out of this stepped classroom. Scholar Sean and those rune teachers also stood up and watched me leave.

In this way, I became the youngest rune teacher in the history of the Royal Academy of Magic, although I can only get five very strange water runes.

……

Walking through the square in front of the teaching building of the college, there will always be some senior seniors and sisters who greet me very friendly.

There is a not-so-big artificial lake around the water system ecological garden in the back garden of the college. The artificial lake is surrounded by a lush forest. In summer, this path is completely blocked by lush branches and leaves. Few people will take this path. , but when the leaves fall in winter, this path is revealed again. Noah, Shirley Newman, Senior Vernon and I walked through this path to the back gate of the college. Walking out of the back gate is the back street of the Magic Academy. Opened many magic shops.

The potion shop of Senior Sister Erica and Senior Hailibu is at the intersection, but it is said that the potion shop closed down last week. Recently, the entire potion market in the imperial capital has not been doing well. , Only with a stable supply of magic herbal medicines can the potion shop continue to operate.

A few of us came to the back street of the Academy of Magic, in fact, to find a shop facing the street for Senior Vernon. After Senior Vernon successfully refined the red copper solution in the laboratory building of the college, he couldn’t always occupy that laboratory. Firstly, the laboratory resources of the Royal Academy of Magic are relatively limited, and secondly, the laboratory at the academy still lacks privacy after all, so senior Vernon and Noah discussed to rent a shop outside the academy and set up an alchemy studio.

"...So, when we enter the third grade, you will also give us a few special rune lessons?" Noah looked at me depressedly and asked.

The snow on the part of the college backstreet close to the high courtyard wall on the south side showed no sign of melting, but it was trampled on by pedestrians, making the road a bit slippery.

Where there is snow, people will always think of the northern border. The surface of the Benma River has been almost frozen by ice during this period of time. Those barbarians on the ice and snow tundra should also cross the Benma River and enter the northern border.

I lowered my head to avoid an elm branch protruding obliquely from the courtyard wall, and said, "Probably not, I think the rune teachers in the academy should master the drawing methods of these five water-type runes!"

"What do you think of that shop?" Senior Vernon stopped and looked at a small two-story western-style building facing the street across the street, and asked us.

This small western-style building has two floors, the roof and the attic. A professional manager stood at the door of the building. He saw Senior Vernon and Noah and waved vigorously. We crossed the street. Take out a bunch of keys and open the door, please let us go in and see the layout inside, this is a single building structure that is very common in emperors, the first floor is a very spacious living room as soon as you enter the door, there is a small dining room and kitchen at the back, and there are two guest rooms next to it And a staircase leading upstairs, upstairs is the master's living room, there are a total of three bedrooms, one large, two small, one of which has a terrace, and there is a simple attic at the ridge of the roof, which leads to the second floor below the stairs A not-so-big basement was also dug. Behind the small western-style building there is a small courtyard of more than [-] square meters. The whole building is compact and elegant.

This type of building is very common in the third block. The biggest advantage of this small western-style building is that it is only one wall away from the Royal Academy of Magic.

The professional manager of the housing property union took us into the living room and introduced the origin of the small western building to us: "The owner of this room is a noble lord of a southern province. They will sell off the properties in the imperial capital..."

Noah and Senior Vernon walked around upstairs and downstairs, and it was obvious that Senior Vernon liked this small western-style building very much. He even went around the snow-covered backyard.

Noah waved to the professional manager impatiently, and said, "Okay, can you come up with some fresh reasons, this kind of old-fashioned story has been told badly by you, talk about the price!"

The professional manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with a smile on his face, he said to Noah: "Needless to say, all magicians can see that the location of this loft is very good. The rental price of the attic is already very transparent, three gold coins per month, at least one year of rent.”

Only then did I know that the monthly rent for such a small western-style building actually costs three gold coins. No wonder those villas in the common area of ​​the imperial capital are shared by several commoner families. However, if this kind of loft is in the sixth block, the price can be halved at least.

"Is this loft for sale?" Noah patted the dusty sofa and asked the manager.

It can be seen that this small western-style building seems to have been shelved for a long time, and the room is covered with thick dust everywhere.

The manager was slightly taken aback. In his eyes, those of us who are magic students of the Royal Academy of Magic would want to stay in the Imperial Capital when the graduation season is approaching, and we would probably be looking for a house in the Imperial Capital. With the living allowance of a magician, we would rent an apartment in the third block. The house can still be sustained by gritted teeth, but very few magic students who are about to graduate will directly pay for a small western-style building. Magic students mainly from noble family backgrounds will not choose to live here, and ordinary families Most of the graduates who are born can't afford it.

He said to Noah graciously: "Of course it is for sale. If the entire payment is settled at one time, 150 magic crystals. If it is mortgaged installment payment, the first payment is 30 magic crystals, and then you can repay three magic crystals every month." Gold coins, this attic will belong to you after 15 years, of course, if you can repay one magic crystal every month, you only need to repay it for [-] years."

Noah took a look at Senior Vernon and made a decision for him directly: "This kind of attic, of course, has to be settled at one time, but 150 magic crystals..."

The manager hurriedly patted his chest to ensure that the small western-style building was of high quality and low price: "I assure you, this price is the lowest price in this loft!"

Noah shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean, 150 magic crystals can be paid to you exactly, but..."

He made some demands, but he didn't know what to say, so he turned his eyes on Senior Vernon, who also looked blank, and turned his eyes on me. I hesitated, and looked at the The manager said: "We hope that when this small western-style building is handed over to us, the roof will be refurbished, the outer walls need to be repainted, and the floors in the house are so old. Look at these curtains that are always covered by sunlight. The place where it was illuminated has faded, the bathroom is so small, and the bathtub inside is cracked, I wonder if these fabric furniture can still be used?..."

"I can promise you...the roof will be refurbished, the exterior walls will be repainted, the floors, room wallpapers, and curtains will all be replaced with new ones. In addition, I can give you a brand new set of walnut furniture." The manager immediately promised.

It doesn’t cost much money to repair the house and renew the furniture. It’s just that once you do it, you realize that the time spent on it is beyond imagination, and you will have no clue when doing it. You always see what you see and think about it. I will do it first, only to find that some projects need to be done again later, that is the worst.

Noah seemed to be buying a house for himself, waved his hand again, and said to the manager: "Then it's settled, have you brought the magic contract?"

The manager quickly took out a magic scroll from his backpack, and said with a beaming smile, "I have it, Your Excellency the Magician."

"When will the decoration be completed and you can live in?" Noah pressed the magic contract scroll, staring at the manager and asked.

The manager immediately replied: "Interior decoration is very easy, and it can be completed in about a week. As for the roof renovation and wall painting, we have to wait until spring."

In this way, under Noah's intervention, Senior Vernon bought a small western-style building of his own in the third block of the imperial capital...
