The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 191 Marriage and Prospects

After all, we were new here and we didn't dare to keep the two seniors waiting for too long. In less than fifteen minutes, the freshmen returned to the dormitory door.

The group then headed to the cafeteria.

"There are two cafeterias in the college, one in the north and one in the west. The one we are going to now is the second cafeteria in the west."

The second cafeteria is very huge and can be seen from a long distance away.

After getting closer, I discovered that there was a bulletin board at the door of the cafeteria with today's recommended food written on it.

[Today’s special offering is a crystal mushroom from the underground world, which has the effect of slightly increasing mental activity. It costs twenty gold coins per serving. 】

[Today’s special offering is Electric Spinosaurus meat from Area 1, which has the effect of slightly strengthening the body’s constitution. Each portion costs twelve gold coins. 】

[Today’s special offer is the Ice Rainbow Fish from the underground world. It has the effect of slightly improving the ice element resistance. It has a contribution value of 30 and can only be purchased by level 2 wizard apprentices and above. 】

…

One message after another filled the billboards.

A group of apprentices gathered in front of the bulletin board, seemingly discussing something, and someone could vaguely hear complaining that the price was too expensive.

"You have to pay to buy food in the canteen, and the prices range from low to high. For example, the recommended delicacies on the bulletin board are the most expensive foods. Even we can only eat them once in a while."

Duvini explained to the freshmen:

However, although it is a bit more expensive, most of the recommended delicacies are worth the money. Many times you may not be able to grab it if you go late. Some foods require a certain level to be eligible for purchase. "

The freshmen were also stunned by the prices on the bulletin board.

Most of them are from noble families and have good family backgrounds, but even so, they have never eaten delicacies that cost more than ten or twenty gold coins.

This price is no different than grabbing money!

Duvini saw Xinsheng's expression in her eyes, smiled and said nothing.

When they taste the taste and effect of those delicacies, they will know that the gold coins are well spent.

Entering the second canteen, it is divided into multiple areas. Each area has a different style and offers a variety of strange foods.

The freshmen found a place to sit down, and not long after, several staff members came over to order food.

What surprised the freshmen was that these staff were not human beings, but a strange female humanoid creature.

They have copper-colored hair, creamy skin, and perfect faces that look like they stepped out of a painting.

A pair of deep eyes are big and round, and the ears are slender and turned back, with a bit of elf characteristics.

He is about one meter tall, slightly taller than a halfling.

"This is the water goblin, the staff of the canteen." Duvini introduced, "They have a kind nature, like to be clean, and they can also control the power of the water element."

"Why have I never heard of this kind of creature before?" A new student asked in confusion.

"It's normal." Duvini smiled, "The water goblin is an alien creature. This kind of creature does not exist on the mainland. Of course you have never seen it."

"They were summoned by the academy from another world. They signed a contract with the academy and received rewards by serving the academy."

The appearance of the water fairy seemed to press a certain switch, and the freshmen then chattered and asked various questions.

Duvini answered patiently, while Xie Qin sat aside with an expressionless face.

Not long after, the water fairies came over with plates.

A beautiful water fairy placed the plate in front of Fleming and smiled sweetly at him before leaving.

Fleming's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the water fairy's back a few more times.

He used to think that the sister next door who lived next door was very beautiful, and he had thought about marrying her as his wife when he grew up, but now he suddenly felt that the water fairy looked pretty good.

After a lively meal, Sechin and Duvini then took the freshmen to the logistics office to collect college maps, rules and regulations, exchange lists, books, robes, brooches and other supplies.

"The brooch is your student certificate. You need to wear the brooch to enter many places. Remember to keep it well. If you lose it, you will have to spend money to replace it."

After giving the last instructions, Duvini and Sechin left.

The freshmen carried supplies and returned to the dormitory in twos and threes.

The dormitories are all single rooms, equipped with living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. The furniture is also very new, and the accommodation environment is excellent.

The freshmen who had just seen many new things in Starlight Academy were obviously very excited and gathered in the corridor to chat and communicate.

After all, they are all teenage boys and girls. Although they are gradually maturing physically, they are still relatively naive mentally.

Fleming did not join them and went straight back to his dormitory.

As soon as he put down his things, Donohan came over to visit.

"Fleming, what courses are you going to sign up for tomorrow?"

Feilai had made a decision tomorrow morning and said without thinking: "Everything! I will take all the basic courses!"

Donohan's mouth twitched slightly: "Are you going to be so desperate?"

Fleming shrugged and asked, "What courses do you want to sign up for?"

Donohan sighed and said: "You have said so, what else can I do? It must be a full report. I don't want to be left behind by you."

Fleming smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's work hard together!"

After finally entering Starlight Academy, Fleming cherished this opportunity very much.

Even if there is no penalty of expulsion from behind, he will work hard.

After all, this is his only chance to transcend the world!

Who doesn’t want to live longer and witness the scenery at the top of the continent?

After a brief chat, Donohan left.

Fleming closed the door, then eagerly picked up the books from the logistics department and started reading them carefully.

"Star Ring Meditation Method"!

This is the only book that new students receive for free.

If you want more books, you can borrow them from the library, or spend gold coins and contribution points to redeem them.

Taking a deep breath, Fleming concentrated on reading the book in his hand.

He had just asked Senior Duvini that among the seniors currently promoted to second-level wizard apprentices, Senior Sherman, who was the fastest in the Star Ring Meditation Method, only took twenty-five days, and the slowest did not exceed one and a half months.

He did not expect to break the twenty-five-day record, but he wanted to at least initiate the Star Ring Meditation Method within one and a half months.

Only in this way can you stand out among the freshmen.

Although he has only been here for less than a day, Fleming can already clearly feel the strong competitive atmosphere in the college.

Everyone is studying and practicing hard, racing against time to improve their strength.

This gave him a vague sense of urgency, and he was unwilling to waste even a little time.

"One day, I will also enter the Dragon Skeleton Tower!"

Flash City, Imperial City.

In the meeting hall, Key frowned and was silent in thought.

Brad, Jordan and Staley on the side looked at each other, all silent. In the recent qualification test, His Royal Highness Wes Arneste and Princess Adela Arneste both failed the qualification test and missed out on being admitted to Starlight Academy.

After hearing the news, His Majesty often sighed in front of them.

The three Brads were not surprised by this. His Majesty was just a legendary knight, not an official wizard. The probability that his descendants would have wizard qualifications was no different from that of ordinary people.

After a while, Jordan, who was the most impatient, finally couldn't bear the silence and winked at Brad.

Brad rolled his eyes secretly, but coughed slightly, broke the silence and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't blame His Highness Weiss and His Highness Adela. There is only one person with wizard qualifications, and the two Highnesses cannot decide the qualifications."

Key sighed and said: "I know, I don't blame them, it's just that the royal family has never had a wizard apprentice. In the long run, it may have a negative impact on the royal family's prestige."

Brad and Staley looked at each other in shock.

This is indeed a problem!

Qiao Dun didn't think as much as the other two. Hearing this, he said carelessly: "Your Majesty has thought too much. Even if His Highness Weiss and His Highness Adela failed the qualification test, there are still so many Highnesses in the royal family, and there is always one." Are you qualified as a wizard?"

Adhering to the idea of ​​spreading branches and leaves, Keyi has given birth to many children in recent years.

When he first heard Qiao Dun's words, he was stunned for a moment, then looked thoughtful.

yes!

As long as you have enough children, there will always be one with wizard qualifications!

He can live for more than a hundred years. As long as he keeps spreading his branches, he will be able to train a wizard apprentice for the royal family sooner or later.

And with the current foundation of the empire, as long as there is a wizard apprentice in the royal family, no matter how poor the qualifications are, as long as there is full support from the empire, the resources can be used to pile up a third-level wizard apprentice!

The more Keyi thought about it, the more feasible it became. As his mind wandered, he quickly thought of another way.

"What do you think about the marriage between the royal family and the wizard apprentices from Starlight Academy?"

The three Brads were all startled, and then quickly realized His Majesty's plan.

This is to improve the royal family's genes through marriage with the wizard's apprentice.

After a moment of silence, Brad hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, many people among the imperial nobles have the same idea, and they have already contacted the wizard apprentices in the academy, but very few have agreed to a marriage."

Key frowned when he heard this, but soon relaxed.

The wizard apprentices at Starlight Academy are all on the rise now, so naturally they have no time or energy to focus on marriage, let alone with Su Nan as a role model. No one with a bit of ambition will agree to a noble marriage.

But that was before.

With the establishment of Starlight Academy, competition among students has become increasingly fierce.

Many students who were born into common people or minor nobles were far from wealthy and could not support the huge expenses of the college.

In order to obtain resources, they must spend a lot of time and energy taking on tasks.

But if they marry a noble and have sufficient financial support, they can save more time to spend on training and learning, and quickly pass the early stage of development.

This is a win-win situation for students and nobles.

It is conceivable that there will only be more and more wizard apprentices marrying nobles in the future.

In this regard, the royal family undoubtedly has a huge advantage.

The resources that the royal family can provide are definitely far more than those of the nobles below.

Having said that, Key also knew that this kind of matter could not be rushed and needed to be considered in the long run.

First, there are currently no members of the royal family who are of marriageable age, and Abbott, the oldest, is not yet eighteen years old.

Second, the choice of marriage target is the top priority.

Key's favorite targets are naturally Sherman, Corey, Atil, and Ethan, the outstanding students who have the best chance of being promoted to the third level of wizard apprentices.

But he also knew very well that these people did not need the support of the empire, and the possibility of agreeing to a marriage was very low.

Perhaps one day in the future, when they see no hope of further breakthroughs, they will consider breeding offspring.

However, that must be an extremely distant future.

After excluding these people, Key also looked down upon other mid-level wizard apprentices.

He prefers to select potential among the freshmen, marry them when they are still weak, and support their rapid growth. In this way of cooperation, the relationship between the two parties will undoubtedly be more stable.

And if you want to select freshmen with potential, you can't do it in a short while. It takes a long time of observation to make a decision.

After thinking for a moment, Keyi already had a plan in mind, so he dropped the topic and turned to another matter.

"How is the material mobilization going?"

When business came up, the three Brads subconsciously sat upright.

"All supplies have been mobilized to border cities, enough to support a large-scale war!"

Key nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Are there any abnormalities in the surrounding countries?"

"Aside from the additional troops stationed in the towns bordering the empire, there are no other unusual actions." Blade said.

Key nodded in understanding.

It is not surprising that neighboring countries are taking such actions.

They were preventing the Starry Empire from launching a war to unify the Southeast Region.

Today's Starry Empire is not inferior to the original Cangjin Empire in terms of territorial area, and is actually more powerful in terms of overall strength, not to mention that it has the only wizard in the mainland.

It can be said that the Fanxing Empire at this time has more foundation and strength to unify the Southeast Region than the Cangjin Empire.

Even if the Starry Empire stated that it had no intention of unifying the Southeast Region, no country would believe it.

In fact, Keyi does have plans to unify the Southeast Region.

Even the Southeast Region is just the first step, his real goal is the entire Starlight Continent.

At this point, Sunan had an in-depth conversation with him, and the two brothers reached an agreement on this point.

With Sunan's support, Keyi is more confident.

Thinking of the future prospects of the empire, even though his mind was much calmer than before, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

At this time, an internal affairs officer suddenly appeared at the door of the hall and bowed.

Key glanced at him and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the Jinghua Principality has sent an envoy to ask for an audience."

As soon as these words came out, the four people in the hall were all stunned.

Qiao Dun frowned and said: "Sending envoys at this time. Have they discovered our plan?"

Staley, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "Probably not. Although the Kingdom of Jinghua has stationed additional troops in the border cities, this was before the empire mobilized supplies. They probably don't know the empire's plans yet."

Key thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let him go to the living room, I will receive him there."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
