Son of Light and Darkness

When the carriage arrived at the nearest small town, Senior finally couldn't bear the slow speed of the carriage, and forced Kevin to pay for it, and replaced the ordinary carriage with an express pulled by a domesticated monster.

"The bodies of magicians are very fragile, and you don't want to wait for Eli to collapse when he arrives in the royal city, and Mephisto will come to you to settle the score, right?" Senior said plausibly.

Kevin still felt something was wrong: "Why do I have to pay? You are obviously richer than me!"

Senior's expression sank, and he said, "My money is more useful than yours, so naturally I should keep it."

Kevin still wanted to argue, but he saw Senior impatiently pinch his finger bones, and his slender, white fingers just made a crackling sound, so he immediately shut up wisely.

Although Senior is a magician, he is definitely not an ordinary weak magician.Once he erupts, the level of violence will definitely not be inferior to that of a melee fighter!

Kevin has a deep understanding of this point, and has experienced it for almost 20 years.

By the way, he is 19 years old.

While sitting in meditation by the window, Eli quietly listened to Kevin and Senior's arguments from time to time.

Of course, most of the time, Kevin shuts up silently, because he can neither scold Senior nor beat Senior.

From their discussion, Eli probably knew the basic rules of the Royal Academy of Magic.

The first is the seven-year school system, which is divided into seven grades, and the level of magicians also increases accordingly.

From the first grade to the seventh grade, there are seven levels of magic apprentice, apprentice magician, junior magician, intermediate magician, advanced magician, great magician, and wizard. Those who can pass the assessment at the end of the school year can get the corresponding level certification .

In seven years, how many grades can be passed depends on one's talent and hard work.

As for Senior and Kevin, they no longer belong to the category of students. They are more like junior mentors, although most of them are only in honor.

At their level, it is difficult to break through the bottleneck, but once they break through this bottleneck, they can continue to go one step higher, such as the Great Magister, the Magister, the Grand Magister, and even the Holy Magister, the Dharma Saint, and the Dharma God. Existence beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

They chose to continue their studies in the Royal Academy of Magic, and finally they could receive the Medal of Honor from the Royal Academy of Magic.And during this period, you can also study various books in the library of the college.

The Medal of Honor will only be awarded every three years, and there are only five places at a time.In the upper-class society of the Western Yuan Empire, nobles were generally proud of this medal of honor.

It's just that this not only requires a proud family background, excellent conduct, but also the extraordinary strength of the noble boys themselves.

The first person to receive this medal was Emperor Atre, the founding emperor of the Western Yuan Empire.

The Royal Academy of Magic has its own independence. Although they accept donations from the royal family, they also accept talented commoner students.Here, the dean's words are more effective than the emperor's order.

King Arthur once gave the Royal Academy of Magic an honor: the Royal Academy of Magic has the right to refuse admission to its academy to anyone they do not want to accept.

Whether it is the power of the emperor or the wealth of the lord, they will lose their magic power in this magic academy.

It is precisely because of this that the Royal Academy of Magic has always been the best magic academy on the entire continent, and the temple of dreams of all magicians.

All magicians... a free and fair academic hall?

Eli smiled mockingly.

What about the Dark Mage?

---------------------------------------------------------------

On the penultimate day of the Royal Academy of Magic, Eli and his party finally arrived in the royal city.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, their convoy was surrounded by soldiers.

Senior and Kevin were taken back to the palace by the royal guards who heard the news at the gate of the royal city.

They disappeared for more than ten days without any reason, and there was almost a riot in the royal city.

The deacon was ordered to leave Eli at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic and left.

Eli stood quietly at the gate of the academy.

Two huge lions are guarding the entrance of the college, and a gorgeous fountain inside is constantly changing the water flow and making various shapes.Beautiful and dreamlike.

The huge and neat bluestone was cut so smooth that it could even clearly reflect people's shadows when laid on the ground.The huge white building stands behind the long passage, like a huge white tree with intertwined roots.

That is the library of the college, which contains all the types of books that you can find on the mainland.

This library, which has a history as long as the Western Yuan Empire, is the library with the largest collection of books in the whole continent.

As long as you have magic, it seems that even the world will lie at your feet.

The prosperity of Wangcheng has faded in his memory, but the contrast between the quietness of Lante Village and the hustle and bustle here makes these gray memories suddenly come alive.

Eli looked at the magnificent college in front of him, and suddenly found that he still remembered the swing he used to sit on in the manor, with the white roses carved on it, and his mother sitting quietly under the tree with his brother Images of enjoying afternoon tea and sunshine together, and even remembering the portrait of my late father that hangs in the great house on the estate.

It turned out that what he thought he had forgotten was just deeply buried in his heart.

Those unwillingness, resentment, grievances and pains had already planted seeds in his heart.But now, seeing the sunshine of Wangcheng, those seeds suddenly broke through the ground and grew.

"Hello, excuse me, are you a registered student?" The teacher in charge of guiding new students came over, looked at Eli standing outside the door, and asked with some uncertainty.

Although this is an aristocratic academy for civilians, the academies who sign up are basically clean and tidy.Basically, it is rare to see such embarrassment to Eli.

Eli nodded faintly. Because of his infirmity since he was a child, Eli didn't look like a 17-year-old boy, but more like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

He glanced at the sign on the mentor's chest, George, a very common name.

On the contrary, the mentor was very enthusiastic. He didn't look down on Eli because of his apparent poverty. Instead, he gave him more attention and kindness.

"What's your name?" George flipped through the notebook in his hand.

There are a total of seven days for registration, and basically all the students have completed the registration procedures on the third day, but those whose homes are far away and cannot arrive in time are not excluded.

However, those who signed up on the sixth day were also very rare.

Eli replied: "My name is Eli, Eli Christopher." Although I really don't want to admit this surname.

Eli's father died heroically in the war more than ten years ago, and his two children have followed their mother's surname.

Of course, in the eyes of others, this is a noble and honorable surname.

"Christopher? What a coincidence, there is another Christopher in the academy, who is the heir of the Pope. But that gentleman is really amazing." George said, and couldn't help but add another sentence, "Really, but that man The adults are also working hard. Eli, you have to work hard too."

Eli nodded slightly.

George found it: "Eli Christopher, um, wind magic? Haven't chosen a mentor yet? It doesn't matter, every wind mentor in our college is very good. They are all magicians above level seven." .”

Didn't see the expected surprise or envy on Eli's face, George's expression was a little embarrassing.

You know, although there are many magicians, they are generally junior magicians or intermediate magicians. Because of the limitations of ordinary people's understanding of magic and the affinity of magic elements, senior magicians who can reach level seven are very rare and worthy of respect of.

"Hi, George. Are there any new students?" A red-haired girl approached this way, seeing Eli whose body was almost hidden in the black, couldn't help holding her hands in front of her chest and said.

What a neat little thing.

Through Eli's short hair, she can roughly outline the appearance of this little guy in front of her, which is rare and exquisite.

George smiled and introduced: "Aya, this is also your classmate, Aya who is new to the school this year. Well, by the way, she has a pretty temper."

Aya gave George a white look, and said, "Cousin, is this how you take care of me? I must go back and complain to my aunt."

George shrugged helplessly, turned to Eli's file, and found that it was blank before, and the column of relatives was also blank, so he couldn't help feeling dazed.

"Hey, why isn't there?" Aya saw Eli's information form with sharp eyes, and couldn't help asking curiously.

George immediately closed the notebook and looked at Aya seriously: "You are not allowed to read these messages, Aya! You have offended Eli's privacy, this is not what a lady should do, you should Apologies to Aya."

Aya also seemed to feel that her behavior was a bit inappropriate, so she put her hands together apologetically, and said to Eli: "Dear little Eli, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Eli nodded lightly, and asked, "Can I leave?"

"Oh, yes." George nodded immediately.He winked at Aya.

Aya also approached obediently and said, "Eli, where is your luggage, can I carry it for you?"

Aya and George became even more embarrassed after looking around for several times without seeing Eli's package.

Eli, on the other hand, had seen enough of the embarrassment of the two, suddenly smiled, and said softly, "I don't have any luggage, but can you show me the way? I don't know the location of the classrooms and dormitories yet."

In the carriage before, Senior and Kevin had already introduced the general situation of the college to Eli through their conversation, and they went back with confidence.

Of course, they didn't think about the problem of whether Eli had enough money, and they didn't even think that the grandson of the dignified pope would be in trouble because of a few hundred gold coins.

Of course, for them, the tuition fee of one hundred gold coins a year might not be enough for the tips they gave to their servants, but for Eli, it was his entire net worth.

After following Aya to pay the tuition fee, Eli only had three gold coins left on him.

Aya also saw Eli's troubles, so she enthusiastically suggested: "The Royal Academy of Magic actually has many ways to apply for discounts. For example, if the magic test scores are in the top ten of the whole year, the tuition fee can be halved. Not bad Going to work in the library..."

Finding that Eli hadn't spoken, Aya became a little nervous. She tentatively asked, "Eli, will what I said be too direct and hurt you? I'm sorry, I may just not use my brain when I speak... "

There are many people who are not comfortable with their poverty, although it is not their fault.

Eli looked at her. "Why would it hurt me? I needed a job and you helped me with my idea. Thank you."

Aya breathed a sigh of relief, and complained to him again: "Scared me to death, you didn't say a word, I thought you were unhappy."

Eli followed her across the lawn to the dormitory area.
