Throne Steps

Li Chen reminded him to be in fear for a few days, but he never waited for the "trouble" from Saenz.Thinking about it, maybe because I am not considered a character, as long as Saenz does not have a whim, there is nothing to worry about.

Pesa's courses are somewhat like the university courses in Lichen's impression.The tuition fee is fixed. Except for the compulsory courses of the department, students are allowed to choose by themselves, as long as the total number of courses does not exceed a certain number.However, this offer sounds very plump, but it is very skinny in practice.Since the main courses of each department are held at almost the same time, it is very difficult to study important courses of other departments.Coupled with the fact that most of the main courses are heavy, many students who want to climb from the Alchemy Department to the Magic Department are discouraged.

But for Li Chen, this is not a big problem.He didn't intend to focus on learning magic at first, and the sub-classes interspersed between the main classes were enough for him.Although it is a bit regrettable to miss basic courses such as the principles of magic, at least there are all kinds of related books in the school library, and it is a big deal to ask the teachers of the magic department for advice.Anyway, he just learned a skill and increased his proficiency in using magic power by the way.

Besides, if there is an emergency and he loses his magic power and has no medicine to use, if he only knows a tongue twister to extract the energy of the magic crystal, but doesn't know how to use the magic, isn't that a waste of time?

Wiggins was also very happy that Li Chen came to take a minor course, and dragged Noah to enroll in the same class, just for fun.It's just that Wiggins is highly talented and Noah has good grades. Li Chen feels that he doesn't need to compete with these two.Anyway, I asked what should be asked, copied what should be copied, and the sub-class went smoothly.It's just that Mills probably felt that Li Chen was blindly worshiping magic without doing his job properly, and he became more and more alienated from the three of them.Sometimes seeing him alone, Li Chen always felt that this boy must be suffering from autism.

On the other hand, Li Chen also strengthened his physical training on his own.

It's not that he is greedy, it's just that when he thinks that he will have five years of military career in the future, he thinks it's better to be physically stronger.According to his knowledge of the military camp in his previous life, it was a place where the weak were bullied.Although theoretically speaking, the alchemy department doesn't have to be as rough as a rough guy, but there is no harm in having a harder fist, right?

Anyway, he just ran, jumped, and played Tai Chi—I don’t know if Tai Chi is standard—although the effect is minimal, at least it’s better than nothing!

Almost two months later, Pesari ushered in the first big event for the freshmen, which Li Chen called "recruiting new students from the club".

It is said that the club recruits new students, but in fact, it is mostly some students who have no energy to get together to make small troubles, and the school is too lazy to manage it.New clubs emerge in endlessly every year, and only one club called "The Melting Pot" attracts much attention.

The "melting pot" occupies a small two-story building in the corner of the college.According to "folk" legends, this building was built earlier than most of the buildings in the college, and it was one of the buildings used for smelting when Pesa was built.After the completion of Pesa, other smelting buildings were demolished one after another, leaving only this one "historical relic".There used to be a sign at the door of this building that said "There is a furnace inside, be careful of high temperature", which is the origin of the name of the society.

However, the history is long, and the legend is difficult to verify after all.Today's students enjoy the topic of the "melting pot" because of the club's mysterious and glorious history.In Letia's history of nearly a hundred years, many great warriors, great magicians, noble politicians, famous scholars, and alchemists were members of the "melting pot", and even some notorious necromancers also had "melting pot" status. imprint.To put it more closely, the dean of the current Magic Academy was once a member of that building.

What is the "melting furnace" for?have no idea.How to join?do not know either.Not to mention entering the community, even the door of the building where the "melting pot" is located is rarely opened.It is said that the members of the "melting pot" rely on the mysterious teleportation array to enter and leave the station, and only those who are selected are qualified to know the secrets of the teleportation array.But the "melting pot" has never opened for registration, who knows how it was selected?

Li Chen is not very interested in clubs.In his view, this is nothing more than a group social activity.Although it is exaggerated by the people around it, the "melting pot", as a student group, cannot escape this definition.It's just that the selection of the "melting pot" is extremely outstanding, which led to an increase in the social level of the entire community.According to the descriptions of the students, the members of the "melting pot" are not mainly nobles.In other words, the more important role of the "melting pot" is actually to serve as a publicity column for "outstanding civilians" to show their abilities to others—especially nobles; At the same time, create a primary social circle of "future outstanding people".

After all, the inexplicable factor of "relationship" is a subtle lever everywhere.How else can a communicative talent like a "politician" emerge from the "melting pot"?

Although there are not many nobles in the "melting pot", according to the idea of ​​"providing future power for nobles", nobles are still necessary.But because the nobles have their own circles, they can guess who will enter the "melting pot".Li Chen pretended to inquire around casually, and finally found out from Mills that Meloyer, the senior representative, was the current member of the "Melting Pot".

It fits perfectly with the setting.Li Chen nodded secretly, and couldn't help feeling amused seeing Mills' attitude of "I won't give up until I enter the furnace".

That Meloyer has now been used as a pawn in "recruitment", and this stupid Mills still regards him as an idol.What's more, that person can handle both the aristocratic circle and the civilian circle with ease, which is enough to see his skills.Mills, an idiot who can't even look at his face, actually always thinks that he is a great good citizen-he should practice medicine, wash, wash and sleep, so as not to be melted by the "melting pot".

"Ruisen, look!" Wiggins is a guy who can't sit still. Ever since he heard about the glorious deeds of "The Furnace", he has been vowing to pay his respects to the resort.In fact, the "melting pot" is not difficult to find, and there are building signs on the map.Wiggins, Li Chen, Noah and Mills formed a four-person team, and they found it in a short time—of course, it was not Mills who led the way.

"Oh……"

Unlike the excitement of the other three, Li Chen answered flatly.He has no longing for the "melting pot". After all, this is also a kind of political kidnapping, and it is not yet time to choose sides.

The small two-story building in front of me was hidden among a patchwork of trees, with only a stone road extending to the door.Although the slogan "There is a furnace inside" is no longer hung, traces of history can still be seen on the edges of the doors and windows.Except for some windows and doors, the small building is almost completely covered by the wall-climbing tiger.Now is the season when the plants are flourishing, and the green creeper spreads its palm-sized leaves, covering the original color of the house so that the original color of the house cannot be seen at all, and the blue waves are rippling as soon as the wind passes.

"Go!" Wiggins grabbed Li Chen with one hand and Noah with the other, "Go to the legendary teleportation array!"

If the teleportation array is such a common thing, do I still need to go to the library every day to find a way to locate it?Li Chen thought resentfully.Now he only knows the teleportation formation and spells, but he doesn't know how to locate it. This feeling of "having a way to escape but not knowing whether he will leave the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den" is really bad.

After thinking about it, Li Chen still followed the trend.The four children hurried around in a circle, and Wiggins obviously had more than enough to say, and began to yell to continue the adventure.

"I won't go." Li Chen waved his hand, "It's almost time, I have to go to the pharmacy."

"Hey..." Wiggins sighed with great regret, and asked strangely, "Why do I feel that you spend more and more time at the pharmacy?"

"It's not your illusion." Noah came over and patted Wiggins on the shoulder, "Ruisen has just been assigned a more important job in the pharmacy, so naturally it will take more time."

"Ah? Why didn't I know!" Wiggins looked at Lichen sadly, "You actually told Noah but not me!"

Li Chen spread his hands to express his innocence: "We said that when the four of us had dinner together, you didn't care about it, did you?"

Seeing that even Mills nodded, Wiggins was speechless.

"But... Ruisen, will this be too hard?" Noah frowned, "I think, you can try to ask Meloyer..."

"Forget it, I'm not a recommended student, and my grades are mediocre." Naturally, Li Chen will not be tied to freedom and belief, and he replied casually, "I have already applied for the military project, and now I am going to trouble Hailan, which is considered a What's the matter!"

Noah probably felt a little surprised by this answer, thought for a while, and said: "Well, I don't see that you are also stubborn..."

Li Chen, who was randomly labeled with attributes, let out an "uh".

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me." After Noah said this, Li Chen immediately looked at him with a subtle look, and he realized that he seemed a little exaggerated, "Well, although I don't necessarily How can I help..."

"And me and me!" Wiggins yelled, "Rayson, you know!"

Understand Mao, don't use short sentences indiscriminately!Li Chen nodded helplessly. Ever since he accidentally expressed the meaning of "you understand" in a short common language, Wiggins wanted to say it whenever he had an opportunity, wishing he could use it as a mantra.

After bidding farewell to the few people, Li Chen went back to the dormitory first.It happened that my roommate was standing in the living room distributing letters, and when he saw him coming back, he called out, "Just in time, I have a letter from you! Hehe, the person who sent the letter must be a big shot!"

letter?Big shot?During the few steps towards his dormmates, Li Chen had already turned his mind several times, and he immediately screened out a few candidates for the letter.He didn't know many people, and most of them were still in Pesari.Those who can communicate with each other through letters in such a leisurely manner can be counted in a single slap.

My doubts were resolved the moment I got the letter.Only Lichen's address was written on the envelope, but the background color of the white gold border and the golden logo in the lower right corner made it easy to recognize where it came from.

The roommate knowingly asked: "Hey, where did you get the letter from?"

Li Chen waved his hands without answering, and went to the room.

Sarnlich? . . .

While Li Chen checked the envelope back and forth again, he entered the room and locked the door.When the envelope was opened, a fragrant white folded card was revealed. On the cover of the card was an elegant golden lettering - "Invitation Letter".

Invitation card?What can I do?A bad premonition rose from his heart, Li Chen frowned, opened the card and looked at the signature first, feeling surprised.

—Lai Lier Vagcheno Saenlich!
