What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 20 Kress

The carriage was running smoothly.

Annie suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Colin, are you doing well with Master Roman?"

Colin was a little embarrassed when asked, and said with a smile: "It's just a carriage, it's not enough."

Although he was not rich in his previous life, he didn't feel distressed by taking a taxi once in a while, so he didn't feel anything.

"It's not just this."

Annie touched Colin's sleeve carefully, and said:

"Your clothes are made of green silk, and they cost seven or eight gold lang a piece."

The so-called change from frugality to extravagance, Ke Lin thought of coming to the old city before going out, so he deliberately changed into his old clothes, but after only half a year, he could no longer bear the rough texture brought by inferior linen shirts.

The clothes on his body were given by his senior sister when the seasons changed. He knew it shouldn't be bad, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

"I don't understand this very well." Colin said awkwardly.

"I met Jennifer before at a luxury store in the Garden District, hey..." Anne obviously remembered about Jennifer again.

……

Thunder City is divided into six areas: the king's area centered on the royal palace; the mage area centered on the magic association; the garden area where the rich and nobles gather; the artisan area where blacksmith shops and workshops gather; the Canal District, where the main trading responsibilities are; and the Old Town, where the underprivileged live.

The carriage can only go on the main road, stopping at a distance of two miles near the center of the canal area.

The coachman in a black uniform and top hat carefully helped the two off the carriage, took off his hat and saluted, indicating that they had reached their destination.

Colin paid the fare of two silver shields plus a tip of 10 copper plants, and took Annie to the distance while the coachman watched politely.

"I'm so nervous, I've never been served like this before." Annie said a little excitedly.

"To be honest." Colin smiled: "Me neither."

"Then you can still behave so calmly, especially the way you tip is so elegant, as if you ride a carriage every day."

Colin spread his hands, but did not answer.

I can't say that this is something I have seen on TV before, and I just imitated it.

……

The sanitation environment in the canal area is much better than that of the old city, but it is noisier. The porters and various trolleys and carriages are rampant regardless of the safety of pedestrians.

This is just the periphery. If you walk to both sides of the canal, you will find that it is more lively.Spices, wine barrels, jewelry, silk, slaves, and a steady stream of goods were transported into the capital from here.

On the third-floor terrace of a tavern.

There was only one table of guests at this time.

Jennifer stirred the coffee in the cup in front of her twice, looked at the young man in a magic robe with a delicate short stick pinned to her waist, frowned slightly, and was about to speak when the other party spoke first:

"Because of the climate, the coffee grown in the Antler Islands in the southeastern sea has always been famous throughout the continent. It is said that the necromancers there spend their spare time researching the cultivation of coffee and tea in addition to digging up corpses every day. This may be one of those disgusting The guy's only contribution to the world."

Jennifer took a sip of coffee without being affected in any way, and said calmly:

"Mr. Kress, if there is nothing else, please go to your own accord, my friend will be here soon."

"That's right, there's no coffee here for you." Big-headed Roy nodded in agreement.

The young man named Kress glanced at Roy, but did not show any dissatisfaction, still smiling:
"I got the approval of Baron Buckle to get closer to Miss Jennifer. Please don't disturb some irrelevant people."

"You...you are really like an obedient puppy." Roy was so angry, but because of the magic robe on the other party, he could only enjoy it with his mouth.

Kress didn't respond to Roy, as if he didn't want to talk to him, and seemed to be deliberately avoiding a confrontation with him.

Jennifer didn't seem to hear the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two men, and said calmly:

"Mr. Kress, His Majesty the King has even legally abolished slavery, so each of us has the right to choose our own way of life, doesn't it?"

"Of course, I agree with that."

Kress spread his hands elegantly: "But Miss Jennifer, what kind of lifestyle can you get without the support of your family? Would you like to go to the Magic Association with your friend Miss Annie to steal ice cubes?"

Jennifer's face changed: "You investigate my friend!?"

"You can take this as my concern for you." Kress did not deny it.

"I don't need it!" Jennifer gritted her teeth.

"I know what you think."

Kress glanced at Roy casually, and said: "Colin Wayne has a good relationship with you, but it's a pity that even if he is accepted as a disciple by Master Roman, he will never be able to solve the problem without mental power. Master Roman may be getting old, so it's not hard to understand why his eyesight has dropped."

As he spoke, he unconsciously stroked the magic robe on his body and the wand around his waist.

"Did your Excellency 'Raging Fire and Thunder' teach you to speak ill of a magister behind his back?" Jennifer frowned.

"This is just an objective evaluation, not to mention that my teacher, the great magician 'Fire and Thunder' Harris, also thinks the same way." Kress spread his hands indifferently.

Jennifer had no choice but to bite her lip and couldn't speak, but Roy couldn't bear it any longer. Just as he was about to shoot the case, he heard someone behind him say:

"Since it is an objective evaluation, I think it is necessary to let the teacher know."

Roy and Jennifer turned around at the same time, and saw Colin in gray uniform coming from the stairs of the terrace with a smile, followed by Anne Heckert.

"Colin!"

The big head jumped up, rushed to Colin's side with a stride, grabbed his shoulder and shook it for a while: "You are really fine, you have not shown your face for half a year, we all thought you were the experimental material of Master Roman..."

Colin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, where did these guys hear the rumors, or was that how the outside world spread them?

"Okay." Colin hugged his big head and said with a smile: "There are new friends here, we should pay attention to etiquette."

Jennifer looked at Colin with complicated eyes, and hesitated to speak.

Roy rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Kress, a disciple of the great magician 'Fire and Thunder' Harris. We are having... a friendly conversation."

"I see." Colin turned to Kress with a smile and said hello, "Hi, Mr. Kress, nice to meet you."

Kress was obviously caught off guard, and after gathering his composure, he immediately got up: "Hello, Mr. Wayne."
