Chapter 152 The Moth at the Canonization Ceremony

"Detailed explanation of elementary earth magic spells, please pay 100 gold coins!"

"Detailed explanation of earth-type intermediate magic spells, please pay 300 gold coins!"

"Detailed explanation of advanced earth magic spells, please pay 800 gold coins!"

……

"A detailed explanation of the basic knowledge of the magic circle, please pay 200 gold coins!"

……

"Introduction to Alchemy, please pay 300 gold coins!"

……

A series of payment reminders made Hudson's head buzzing and he was at a loss.

"The library is desperate for money like this. I reminded you last time that the experience here will not be pleasant!"

Melissa said playfully.

It seems that watching Hudson make a fool of himself is a pleasing thing.

Rolling his eyes, Hudson, who didn't bring enough gold coins, had no choice but to put down the classics in his hand.

This is the Academy of Magic. Although it is not considered as strong as a cloud, there are definitely a lot of masters.

Doing things here is definitely a sign of being tired of life.

"Isn't the price too expensive?"

Hudson asked suspiciously.

Although he has heard that learning magic is a gold-swallowing behemoth, the price still frightens him.

Books that only record knowledge are so expensive to borrow once. If you go to class every day to study, the expenses will be even more expensive.

"These prices are for foreigners, and our internal college has credits. You can get credits by completing the corresponding studies, or accepting some college tasks.

Only when the credits are not enough, gold coins will be used to buy them.

The price, you've seen, is worse than a robbery.

Magic research is very expensive, not only us students are poor, but also the instructors in the academy and even the school itself are poor. "

Melissa half explained, half complained.

After getting a definite answer, Hudson was speechless.

Originally, he thought that the opening of the library at the Academy of Magic was mainly to show a tolerant attitude, but he didn't expect that he was thinking too much, and he was just trying to take advantage of him.

Those who didn't know just came here, thought that the fee of fifty gold coins could read all the magic knowledge, so they would pay obediently.

After paying the money, you will find that there are countless big pits in the follow-up, just waiting for them to jump into it.

It's useless to regret it, either give up the 50 gold coin entry fee and admit it, or continue to spend money to learn magic knowledge.

Anyway, the Academy of Magic does not refund money.If there is an objection, first check whether your fist is hard enough, and then consider whether to ask for an explanation.

Hudson ignored Melissa's "poor".There are no poor ghosts who can learn magic.

Looking at this money-hungry library, Hudson knew how much money the Academy of Magic could make.Students who don't have a solid family background can't get along here at all.

Perhaps the Magic Academy seldom enrolls civilians, and it is also due to this reason.

The family background is not strong, and he is busy earning points all day long.No matter how good the talent is, once the resources can't keep up, the gap will still be widened by others in the later stage.

The so-called free gift for gifted students only exists in theory. The free content is limited to the most basic courses, and the follow-up knowledge still has to be exchanged at an equivalent value.

It seems reasonable, but in essence, those with vested interests do not want to increase a bunch of competitors and affect their own interests, and deliberately raise the barriers to entry infinitely.

The magic academy in front of me is a true portrayal of the times, and it seems that everyone can enter.But the reality is that even if ordinary people come in, they still have to spend a lot of time earning points.

Magic research, that is purely a joke.It can range from a few gold coins to as many as hundreds of thousands of gold coins for a magic experiment. What can ordinary people afford?

The true meaning of magic is not easy to pursue. If you don't toss about many things yourself, you will never be able to recognize the essence of magic.

In the early stage of cultivation, these problems are not prominent, but when it comes to higher-level research later, these shortcomings are fatal.

As an extraordinary power, a lot of knowledge in the field of magic can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

Even if the same magic rules fall into the eyes of different people, the final harvest will be different.

It's just a few words described in the book, that's just the comprehension of the original author.Latecomers can only learn from it, but it is impossible to copy it intact.

"It seems that I shouldn't come in with you today."

Hudson said with a depressed face.

It is not a good feeling to look at the knowledge that is itchy, but have no money to learn it.

Looking back at the vast sea of ​​books, Hudson doubted very much that even if he lost his fortune, he would not be able to finish his studies.

The cheapest basic knowledge starts with three digits, and one can imagine how expensive high-end knowledge is.

It just rightly confirms the sentence-knowledge is the most precious wealth.

"Hee hee! Every magician who has come here will say that he shouldn't come. But before he came, he couldn't help thinking about coming.

No magician can resist the temptation of the true meaning of magic. How can he be reconciled if he doesn't know the largest magic library in the palace?
Although these things are expensive, if you are not a nobleman of the kingdom, you can't buy them even if you have money.

But with basic knowledge, there is no need to waste money here.

When I was at home, I learned more or less.If you want to know anything, you can ask me, provided I remember.

In fact, almost every big noble has a collection of knowledge here, but it is not complete here.

In particular, some new research and development achievements are unique to the academy.Wanting to acquire this knowledge, even the great nobles would feel pain. "

The speaker may be unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Hudson didn't think that Melissa invited him over just to see his jokes.Tossing her fiancé, if she really made a fool of herself, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

The children of nobles are all precocious, and Hudson prefers to believe that this is a deliberately arranged display of self-worth.

Compared with the big nobles, what the Koslow family lacks most is not power, but knowledge inheritance.

For a family with a thriving population, as long as the resources are sufficient, the growth rate of strength will definitely not be slow.

But if the heritage is inherited, then there is no way.Even if you want to go out and grab it, you won't be able to grab the truly precious knowledge.

The magic self-destruct device is just a child's science, and more importantly, whose important inheritance does not have a few pitfalls?

The efforts made by the great nobles to protect the knowledge inherited by the family are by no means imaginable by ordinary people.

If you can't grab it, you can only trade it.

In the same circle, as long as the price is high enough, there is nothing that cannot be bought.

How to do it is very challenging.Marriage is only one of the means, and Melissa's ability to bring basic knowledge of magic is enough to make the Koslow family pay the highest attention.

Although these basic knowledge can be obtained from the library with money, the price is really expensive!

"With so much knowledge that can be sold, and the huge funding from the kingdom, your college should be rich, how can you say it's poor?"

Hudson asked jokingly.

"If you have a lot of knowledge, you have to sell it.

Most of the research and development results are meaningless and tasteless, who is willing to pay a big price?
What can really be sold is the basic knowledge on the table.Many newly rising nobles will send someone to copy a copy in order to enrich their background.

Originally, the academy's income was very high, but it had to support a group of tutors who wanted to explore the true meaning of magic.

As far as I know, once you indulge in magic research, there are not many people who are endless. "

Melissa spread her hands and pouted.

Obviously, it is difficult for a young girl like her to understand the fun of spending all day in the laboratory.

There are a lot of female magicians in the continent of Aslante, but very few of them are truly strong.

Behind almost every strong woman, there will be a story with twists and turns.There is no way for a smooth sailing noble lady to settle down to explore the true meaning of magic.

Seeing that the topic was going off track, he still remembered that he was Hudson who came on a date, and said self-deprecatingly.

"Let's go, take me away from this sad place. This kind of ghost place that only recognizes money is not for poor people like me."

……

Leisure time is always short, rehearse every morning, and accompany the beauties to visit the capital in the afternoon, and the time will soon come to the canonization day--December 99987, 12 in the sacred calendar.

The auspicious day chosen by the great Caesar III himself, God is also very generous, and a sunny day came directly in the cold winter.

Like a rehearsal, Hudson followed the crowd and lined up, waiting for the arrival of Caesar III.

The palace square was already surrounded by crowds of spectators. The big scene only happens once every five years, and the melon-eaters were also enthusiastic about it.

The extravagant wealthy businessmen even took out expensive photo stones for recording.

There is no other reason, just to make the recorded information more accurate, and to be able to open your eyes a little bit when encountering them in the future.

On the top of a building in the distance, the singers of Rainbow Moon also watched the excitement.Because of the distance, it is impossible to recognize even the figure, let alone hear the voice.

It's all caused by their profession. As a member of a well-known singer group, she will attract the attention of the public wherever she goes.

This kind of big day for the canonization of nobles is not something they can take the lead in.If the onlookers watch closely and cause an accident to disrupt the canonization ceremony, it will be a catastrophe.

Can't see clearly, can't hear, the group of beautiful women who were enthusiastic before quickly lost interest and returned to their boudoir one after another.

Only Isabel stayed behind, looking enviously at the canonized crowd in the distance, and fell into endless contemplation.

"Isabel, your progress is not very good. As soon as the canonization ceremony is over, that guy will return to the territory.

If you miss this opportunity, it will not be so simple if you want to approach him in the future. "

An urging voice without a trace of emotion rang from beside my ears, pulling Isabel who had fallen into fantasy back to reality.

After glaring fiercely at the person who came, Isabel turned her head angrily, and said angrily:
"Just go back, this damn task cannot be accomplished by humans!"

It's not that she doesn't work hard, it's that she doesn't have a chance to play.

During the days when he arrived in the royal capital, Hudson entered the palace to rehearse in the morning, and wandered around with his fiancée in the afternoon.

Several chance encounters were arranged, but at the last minute, Isabel was forced to cancel them.

No matter how charming she is, she can't show it in front of her fiancee!
Isabel was also very helpless to meet such an opponent.If the mission rewards this time were not so enticing, she would have quit long ago.

"It's late! The mission of the organization is never done halfway. Anyway, it must be checked whether the Blood Moon Horn is in the mountain territory.

The above has already considered the possibility of purchasing the Blood Moon Horn.You can tentatively negotiate with the mountain viscount, if the price is not high, it's okay to buy it. "

The shadow man said indifferently.

In his creed of life, there is no concept of "failure".The brand that the mission is greater than the sky has long been engraved in his bones.

Since his debut, although he has not completed the task 100%, but it is the first time that Shadow Killer has encountered such an embarrassing situation that he has been tossing for several months without even getting in touch with the parties involved.

"Stop dreaming!
Do you think I'm a fool?

Or is that mountain viscount a fool? "

Isabelle mocked unceremoniously.

"Blood Moon Horn", how can a singer be contaminated.I'm afraid that as soon as he talks about the price, his identity will be exposed in an instant.

As a smart person, Isabel never puts herself in danger.She didn't dare to bet that she could escape unscathed after revealing her identity.

It's even more nonsense to buy it cheap.Anyone who gets this kind of bargaining chip will sell it for a good price. There is no reason to sell it cheaply.

Even if you want to put pressure on the other party, you have to reveal your organization's name to see if you can suppress them.

It's a pity that the mysterious organization doesn't dare to put itself in the sun at all.Intimidation, of course, is out of the question.

"Try it, with your ability, even if the mission fails, he will not be willing to kill you, we will organize the rescue.

At the following celebration banquet, I will find a way to distract his fiancée and create opportunities for you.But in terms of time, you have to hurry up. "

It was obviously agitation, but when it was spoken from Yingsha's blunt mouth, it changed in an instant.

"understood!"

Isabel flicked her skirt and said.

She only believed half of Yingsha's words.Reason told her that it should be true to create opportunities next, but there is no need to take the promised rescue seriously.

Since joining the mysterious organization, she has never seen the rescue of captured intelligence personnel, but the scene of silence has caught up twice.

Once you enter a mysterious organization, you can't turn back.Even though she knew that the task was very difficult, Isabel could only bite the bullet now.

Maybe the mysterious organization can't deal with the big nobles, but it couldn't be easier to handle a little singer like her.

There is no need to send other people, the guy who "come without a trace, go without a trace" in front of him can kill her.

……

"Canonize Hudson-Koslow as Viscount!"

After waiting for a few hours, I waited for Caesar III to say something like this.Kneeling down on one knee to receive the knight sword, the canonization ceremony is considered complete.

Not a single word of encouragement or inspiration.If you communicate with each other, it doesn't exist anymore.

Even the traditional hand kiss was omitted.The complicated ceremony that colleagues rehearse first is completely different.

It can be seen that Caesar III is really a vigorous and resolute monarch.The canonization ceremony was reduced to the extreme, and the original fancy ceremony was all condensed into one sentence.

Not according to the traditional rules, but now he is the rules.It seems that the change is just for laziness, but it is actually another oath of kingship.

With practical actions, he told a group of newly-canonized nobles that he was the boss of Caesar III in the Alpha Kingdom.

The twists and turns, maybe there have been before!Anyway, everyone is happy to accept it now, and no one thinks that what Caesar III did was wrong.

In other words, even if he had an idea in his heart, he held back now and dared not say it in person.

Everyone who accepted the canonization together could accept it, let alone Hudson.It is king to finish the ceremony early and go home after work. He doesn't want to perform a monkey show here for everyone to watch.

Even though the knighting ceremony was the most glorious moment in a nobleman's life, Hudson, who was afraid of trouble, felt that everything should be kept simple.

The simplicity of the ceremony means high efficiency.

In the early days, Caesar III read the list himself, but when he was canonizing the knights later, because there were too many people, he simply gave up the right to read the list to the officials in charge of ceremonies.

The knighting ceremony, which would have lasted several days, was actually completed within three hours by Caesar III.Hudson and others waited so long because the king was late.

Whether intentional or unintentional, the boss can be late at will, but the younger brother must come early to wait.

Witnessing the majesty of kingship with his own eyes, Hudson finally understood why so many people wanted to seize the throne throughout the ages.

Fortunately, this is the continent of Aslante, and it is not popular to talk about princes and generals, otherwise, the big nobles of the Alpha Kingdom who support their own soldiers would have fallen out of the sky long ago.

……

"The canonization ceremony is over, and the next is the celebration banquet, you can sit at your own seats!"

Caesar III said kindly.

Perhaps he was happy that he had completed today's heavy work, or perhaps he was delighted that he had added a group of younger brothers, in short, he was in a good mood now.

Watching the king who didn't follow the routine to leave, the pot exploded directly below, and each small circle started their own discussions.

As one of the canonized protagonists, Hudson, who was in the front position, saw the ceremonial officer in charge of the ceremony with his own eyes, and his face was green with anger.

Obviously, Caesar III changed the rules temporarily, and even the officials who presided over the etiquette were not notified in advance.

When the king was here just now, everyone dared not show it too clearly, but now that the man is gone, they start to show their true feelings.

A major event involving the canonization of noble titles will inevitably be recorded in the annals of history.This kind of unconventional and unconventional performance, someone has to be responsible.

As the host of the ceremony, he is the best backer.At the very least, curses appeared in Hudson's ears, and they were basically directed at the etiquette officer.

For Caesar III, at most, there are a few criticisms.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to scold the king, but in the continent of Aslante, as a vassal, he is not qualified to scold the lord.

"Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother."Nobles who haven't completely lost their moral bottom line still can't do it.
