Throne Steps

As Li Chen expected, Estor's attitude towards the youngest son's "magic talent" was very subtle.

You don't even need to go back to Bolton, just observe Anda's attitude during the journey.Different from Wiggins' elation, Anda's expression remained serious all the way, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

As for the core of the incident, Wiggins was probably taught by Anda to "shut up and keep it secret". He was full of enthusiasm and had nowhere to express it. He was agitated like a little monkey all day long, jumping up and down in a panic.However, he was closely guarded by Anda all the way, and he didn't have a chance to whisper to Li Chen until he returned to Bolton. Instead, he was dragged into the study of Wiggins' father, Estor, as soon as he got out of the car.

Reporting safety is a procedure, but there are always more important things to argue about.

Li Chen silently cast a sympathetic glance at Wiggins' back, and then followed Winnie back to the residence.He didn't plan to go to Pesa so soon before, and now he may plan ahead of time, and he still needs to check the tuition and living expenses carefully—although just thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle.

However, before Lichen could think of any solution, Wiggins came back unexpectedly. Judging from the time, he probably invited Ann and nothing else happened.

Sure enough, Wiggins didn't notice anything was wrong, and rushed to Lichen excitedly as soon as he entered the door: "Ruisen, I want to tell you...!"

Li Chen really didn't have the slightest bit of curiosity, but Wiggins' conspicuous "come and ask me, come and ask me" expression made him unable to ignore it.

He had no choice but to say, "What's the matter, young master?"

"Hmm..." Wiggins remembered to make sure Winnie was there.He glanced left and right, did not find the shadow of the maid, and then approached Li Chen and said, "I can go to the 'Island City' now!"

Ahhh, it really was the expected words... Li Chen almost guessed all the content of the next conversation, but he still had to move on.

"Well, is it? Why?"

This reaction was somewhat indifferent, obviously not achieving the shocking effect Wiggins wanted.But on the one hand, Li Chen always had a cold and calm appearance, on the other hand, Wiggins himself couldn't detect anything wrong—the young master still chirped and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

The process was similar to what Li Chen thought.Yuri first asked Wiggins what he saw, and then said that it would take a while to report and coordinate before sending the recommendation letter for Pesa without the test to Estor.Before the start of school, Wiggins went to visit the relevant school teachers with a letter of recommendation, and let them actually apply for admission for him.

Escalation and coordination?Li Chen thought silently, I'm afraid it's time to check what you said!

Judging from the conditions given by Yuri and Saenz, Yuri can give a better quota, but the conditions are harsh-at least he must be able to bear Pesa's reputation; Saenz can only designate a free quota. The power to take the exam is better than letting him decide, which is a good way to win over party members.

Sarnlich's previous leaders didn't care about the obvious gang formation of the sons, or did they have other plans?

Yuri and Saenz came to station Kenssel together, and their relationship can be seen.Even if Yuri came forward on Wiggins' side, [-]% of them would still fall into the influence of Saenz, otherwise, this noble Highness wouldn't feel at ease to leave the two of them out of the conversation and come to molest the common people by himself.

Maybe Kensell is also within the sphere of influence of this Highness...

On the other hand, according to the trend of Estor, even if the recommendation letter does arrive, it is still a question of whether it can be released.

Talent can basically only be passed on by blood. Estor is a typical grudge family. Even the mistress of each generation comes from a family that has almost nothing to do with magic talent, so it is decisive to pop out a Wiggins with magic talent. It's a big green hat.As for who wore it for whom, it can be understood from the attitude of the mistress towards Wiggins. At least she must know whether Wiggins was born by herself, right?But after thinking about it, Estor's mistress is actually quite indifferent to everyone, and since she doesn't meet much, it's really hard for Li Chen to guess the truth.

If Estor doesn't want this disgraceful thing to show up, Wiggins can certainly use the sea blue color Meloyer as his backing, but he is Estor after all, and he can't really get rid of Estor—at least he Can't stand alone now.

Li Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but in fact nothing that could be called an "accident" happened.The letter of recommendation from Wiggins arrived safely in Estor a few days later. Estor was unaware of what he was thinking and let it pass smoothly.

Li Chen, who was the only one who was "glorified", looked at the recommendation letter that was covered in blue from the inside (the letter) to the outside (the envelope), and silently complained in his heart, "Sao Bao".

Life seems to have suddenly fallen into a strange calm.Wiggins’ two older brothers came back from Pesa’s vacation, and they accepted the fact that “the younger brother should be brought to sign up for the start of school” without much reaction; Anda’s cultural lessons became loose because he couldn’t teach Wiggins’ talent. Scattered; Wiggins suddenly became studious, although Estori really had nothing to make him studious.

As for Li Chen, he resumed his old days of going to the pharmacy from time to time.

He is going to apply for Pesa's alchemy department.In fact, the threshold for alchemy requires very little talent, or even no talent. In terms of innate conditions alone, it is simpler than melee combat and magic.In the eyes of ordinary people, an alchemist is similar to a pharmacist. Compared with the warrior department and the magic department where talent is more important, Pesa's alchemy department is like three colleges in one school.But in Pesa, even the entrance exam for the alchemy department is not much easier.What's more, as Li Chen thought, an alchemist still needs a certain amount of magical talent in the later stage - it is really inconvenient to draw a formation without elemental affinity.

Talented people are rare, and the admiration of the mainland people for warriors and mages has also increased.But whoever has a bit of magical talent, who doesn't want to be a magician?Pesa doesn't accept it, there are always other colleges that can accept it.As for those who are not talented, most of them are unwilling to waste money on Pesa.If things go on like this, the alchemy department has become Pesa's unpopularity. Regardless of whether they are talented or rich, most of the students who study this department are weird people who cannot be penetrated by outsiders.

Li Chen is going to the pharmacy, on the one hand to consolidate some basic knowledge, and on the other hand to consider his livelihood after being admitted to Pesa.When it is hard to say whether he will pass the exam, Li Chen does not expect to be able to live on scholarship at all.He has already made up his mind to leave Estor. If he can make some money doing medicine, regardless of whether he is admitted to Pesa or not, at least having a craft is a way to survive.

The more calculating, the more sad.Li Chen sometimes thinks that the time-travel novels all over the street are advertisements for gold fingers, why is it that he doesn't like to see them when it's his turn.Although it is said that the material foundation determines the spiritual construction, if you can't seize this opportunity to turn yourself around, when will you be able to achieve the ultimate goal-wear it back!

After complaining, Li Chen has to continue to calculate.It's not that he doesn't have golden fingers, it's just that it's not easy to use, especially now that Sarnlich is inexplicably interested in him, it's no wonder he would foolishly bump into it.

The new semester is approaching, and Shi Shiran, a group of people heading to Pesa, set off.First of all, there is still the inherent list-Estor's youngest, second youngest and their servants, then Wiggins and his servants-not women or children, then "project leader" Anda, and finally It was Li Chen who came up decisively.

The boy who could not be selected as Wiggins was within Li Chen's expectation. After all, Pesa only allowed students to bring one waiter. Estor didn't want to see Wiggins anymore, so he couldn't lower his price when he went out.Moreover, Li Chen was planning to leave Estor, just when Wiggins didn't need him.Fortunately, Li Chen was originally picked up by Wiggins with a lot of love. Now that he is useless, the housekeeper is also worried about how to deal with it.Li Chen pretended to be lonely in front of Wiggins, pitiful in front of the housekeeper, and longing in front of the other two young masters. The matter of serving Wiggins until Pesa and then leaving Estor was finalized.

Bolton was still some distance away from Pesa, and the group wandered along the main road.Li Chen knew who was the real master here, so he often did things that the two older young masters could help, not asking for a different opinion, but please don't throw himself away on a whim.However, the attitude of the two young masters has always been neither salty nor indifferent, and they tend to be close to the character of the mistress. Whatever happens, the two of them are always chatting alone. Even Anda doesn't communicate much, let alone Wiggins. boy.

"It's so strange..." Wiggins finally felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why, "Brother, why are they so strange recently..."

That is of course strange.Li Chen complained in his heart, originally he just thought you were a maverick, but now you suddenly become a bastard, how can you still have it?

Fortunately, the two young masters knew the pros and cons, and didn't say anything publicly, but ignored Wiggins even more.Although Wiggins's head is occasionally brilliant, he has always been ignored in Estor, and he didn't feel that any earth-shaking events would happen.

Of course, Li Chen would not remind that careless young master, he recited all kinds of spells and patterns silently all the way, and finally even passed the last part of the boat ride.

Although Pesa College is known as "the city of isolated islands", after a long period of development, many businesses have gradually gathered on Pesa Island, and the main road from the pier to the college is used as the central axis to slowly radiate.There is still some time before the new semester, and there are not many students on the island, but there are some children who are preparing for the exam.

Li Chen sat on the carriage and looked out. There were all kinds of shops and vendors, and they were quite lively.After a while, he saw two pharmacies, and he had some calculations in his heart.

The carriage neither went to Pesa College nor to the homes of people who needed to be visited. The group found a hotel to stay, and even the two young masters who had a dormitory in the school were with them.But it is not known whether it is because Estor's face outside is concerned, or the school dormitory is not easy to live in.

After dinner, the sky had just darkened, and the street seemed to be still bustling.Li Chen was dragged out to go shopping by the excited Wiggins.Anda didn't go, and the other two young masters were even more unwilling to talk to him, they just called the eldest young master's servant to accompany him.Wiggins looked left and right along the way. Although he had seen most of the scenes, he saw everything new.Li Chen walked side by side with the eldest and young master's servants at the back, as if they were chatting about a lot of things in the isolated island city.

"Student dormitories? There are basically two types." The young man was sloppy, and he made it clear in a few words, "One is a suite for two people, the kitchen and living room are shared, and each has a small room for servants. ; There is also a four-person suite, which cannot bring people down, but the specifications are not different, it’s just that it’s about the size of four rooms.”

Li Chen responded, knowing that there is still a difference in the money spent here.

"Every student in Pesa will be assigned to a student dormitory. As for whether they can live in it or not is another matter." The boy continued, "Anyway, the money has been spent, so it's not a big deal..."

Li Chen nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while, and Wiggins, who was wandering alone in front, finally turned around: "What are you talking about?"

Before Li Chen opened his mouth, he heard the servant next to him answer: "It's just some ordinary things."

Wiggins said "Oh", but didn't notice the other party's indifference, and pulled Li Chen's arm straight away: "Ruisen, you are leaving, I will give you a gift as a parting gift!"

leave?That was also leaving Estor and not Pesa.Li Chen turned around in his heart, but said: "Thank you, young master, I appreciate it, so there is no need to spend money."

"Talk to me again and again, and I will give it away!" Wiggins consistently ignored Li Chen's politeness, "Just tonight, what do you fancy, I'll buy it for you!"

The tone of these words is not small.Not to mention the young master's servant, even Li Chen looked at Wiggins in astonishment.

Only then did Wiggins realize that he seemed to have said something wrong, scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Don't be too exaggerated, hehe...you understand."

Li Chen resisted the urge to roll his eyes, glanced left and right, and casually pointed to a peddler who seemed to be selling books: "Then go there and have a look."

He pointed it with his fingers, but when he actually picked it up in front of the small vendor, Li Chen discovered what it was.

"Previous Pesa Entrance Examination Test Question Collection - Magic Department".

——For a similar title that is easier to understand, it is "Three Years of College Entrance Examination, Five Years of Simulation".
