Chapter 125 The Academy of Golden Rose Manor (2/4)
Chapter 125 The Flower Society of Golden Rose Manor (24)
In late spring and May, the weather gets completely warm.
All things in the north are full of vitality, and all kinds of flowers are blooming together, vying for beauty.
In such a vibrant season, the Mage Guild will hold a flower society outside Silver Moon Castle at the Golden Rose Manor under the name of Count Omicia.
The implication is that the mages in Huangshui Highlands can display their wonderful talents like spring flowers.
This morning.
Rosen and Thrandis both got up early and started dressing up in formal attire.
As a man, Rosen's clothing is not complicated.
Wear a set of thin cotton short underwear, then put on a pure white lambskin vest, a pair of navy blue trousers sewn with fine dark silk, and then a bearskin belt with a mithril buckle.
On the outside, put on a long windproof coat of dark silk with the same color as the pants, put on a pair of deerskin pointed boots, and finally put a silver moon focusing sword on the waist, which is a low-key yet decent look.
A young mage who is comfortable yet energetic.
Usually, both men and women need to have their hair styled.
But Rosen didn't like messing with his hair, so he had a straight haircut early on.
In recent months, his hair has become very thick. As long as it is washed, it will stand up straight and look very energetic, so there is no need to worry about hair style problems.
In comparison, Thrandis is much more complicated.
Waist-tying garters, bust-shaping vest, slim-fitting inner skirt, fluffy outer skirt, fluffy bustles, lace gloves, silk shawls, all kinds of jewelry, and a hair that would make Master Gao Xing feel numb.
It's a kind of torture just to watch from the sidelines.
It can be seen that Thrandis is also very troubled, but at the same time he also feels helpless.
She sighed softly when the temporary maid, Miss Jennifer, tied her hair.
"I don't like these things very much, but the whole Northern Territory has this kind of custom. If you don't abide by it, you will appear to be unique."
Rosen completely understood what she meant.
He continued talking.
"If you act independently, you will attract a lot of attention and unnecessary discussions, and there will be many people pointing fingers at you behind your back, which will affect your mood."
Thrandis smiled and said: "Yes, that's it."
"So, torturing yourself in advance and making yourself gregarious can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
After finally arranging her hair, Thrandis looked left and right in the dressing mirror and asked, "Rosen, are there any flaws?"
Rosen had been standing by the wall watching. At this time, he looked at Thrandis carefully and praised him sincerely.
"Teacher, no matter the complexion, makeup, or dress, he is as flawless as ever."
Perhaps due to the good life during this period, Thrandis is slightly plumper than before, and his skin is white and watery, as if he can squeeze out water with just a pinch.
Feeling the heat in her apprentice's eyes in the mirror, Anna Thrandis's cheeks had two faint and gorgeous blushes.
She coughed lightly, tried to straighten her body, and showed the majesty of her mentor.
"So, my apprentice, are your papers ready?"
Rosen nodded: "They are all ready, two articles in total. One is "The Theory of Flux Numbers" and the other is "The Law of Moving Stars". They are made in duplicate, one for submission for review and one for use as a speech."
"You talk about the former, and I'll talk about the latter."
Two papers, one on mathematical tools, and one on high-level discussions of the laws of the stars, but they do not involve any magical power.
After everything was packed and he took his papers with him, Rosen took Thrandis' arm and walked towards the first floor.
When they reached the stairs, Thrandis suddenly whispered: "Rosen, the number is entirely your invention. I only did some supporting work and am not qualified to be a co-author."
According to Rosen, if he can create a flow, his contribution and his mentor's contribution should be equally important.
Thrandis was reluctant and felt that this was not true. Although he was reluctantly persuaded by Rosen last night, the hurdle in his heart was obviously still not over.
Rosen was well prepared and comforted him softly.
"Teacher, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have the dexterity to cast spells. And without the dexterity to cast spells, I wouldn't be where I am now."
"The result of dexterous spellcasting is too powerful and not perfect enough to be announced for the time being, but your contribution cannot be erased."
"No, no, no, your current status is earned by your hard work. As a mage, you must also respect the facts."
Rosen stopped and grabbed Thrandis, raised his hand to gently pinch her delicate chin, and gently pulled her cheek so that the two of them looked at each other.
"Teacher, the fact is that I proposed the basic concept of fluxes, and a lot of the subsequent results came from your handiwork. I defined the starting point and drew the outline, but you filled in the details."
After looking at each other for a while, Thrandis's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he lowered his gaze to avoid Rosen's gaze.
"Okay, you convinced me."
"This is so good."
"Rosen, I think you made a mistake in the way you spoke. I'm not Alice, I'm Anna."
"I know."
"."
In silence, the two walked out of the door side by side.
In the open space at the door, the carriage was already waiting, and the six young apprentices with their names on them were also waiting in the yard.
When boarding the carriage, Thrandis whispered: "Rosen, I found that you are much taller, reaching the top of my ears, and you are also much stronger."
Rosen used to be very thin and had no flesh on his body, but now his arms are thick and strong, and the force coming from his hands is very strong.
Rosen didn't explain much, just smiled: "Maybe it's because of the ease of life."
Thrandis didn't know the inside story and said with a smile: "It should be, there is more sunshine now than before."
After saying that, she got into the carriage, and then Rosen helped life maid Jennifer also get into the carriage.
Normally, there is no need for this kind of maid, but on important occasions, a lady must bring one.
For example, if your clothes get dirty in the middle of the trip, or your hair is loose, or your makeup is messed up, you need to redecorate it.
In private situations, Rosen, the apprentice, can do the work for him, but in public situations it is not appropriate, so he has to leave it to the female envoy.
Seeing that both girls were seated, Rosen walked over to the six nominal apprentices standing by.
"I rented two extra carriages, and you will follow me all the way."
"Get off the car when you get to the Golden Rose Manor and follow the side of the carriage. When we get to the door, Ms. Thrandis and I will prove your identity as a nominal apprentice. Do you understand?"
"Remember, Master Rosen."
The six apprentices are both male and female, all under 20 years old, and all look very respectful.
Rosen took out a small stack of blue and gold paper cards, three of which were printed with his own spell marks, and the other three were printed with Thrandis's.
"Take this. After entering the manor, you can move around as you please."
"You must follow the rules and show this as proof when asked about your identity."
These six apprentices all came from clean families.
They also all have mentors, but there are many mentors and apprentices and the quota is full, so they use a temporary solution.
Naturally, their mentors also belong to the Temple sect and know everything about them, so Rosen is not worried about anything happening.
After explaining the basic rules and distributing ID cards, it was nothing more to do with him.
You will also receive the official mage welfare fee of 300 crowns.
When boarding the carriage, Rosen sighed again.
"It's really easy for a formal mage to make money. No wonder everyone is trying to get in."
If I had traveled through a prosperous age and lived a comfortable and stable life now, I might have spent my whole life just hanging around and waiting to die.
What kind of magic, what kind of transcendence? Every once in a while, he would copy out a piece of earth mathematics and publish a paper. He would not live a very prosperous life.
Unfortunately, troubled times are about to begin.
The carriage started slowly and drove out of Sunshine Villa.
Looking at the slowly retreating street scenes on both sides of the carriage, Rosen said softly: "Teacher, this time at the Flower Society, we may be squeezed out by the scholar-sect mages."
This was what Fuller specifically reminded him of.
Of course, this kind of exclusion is not serious, and it will not be fatal. It is nothing more than humiliating people, or deliberately making things difficult to cause some trouble.
In short, I just want to make it less difficult for you.
Thrandis frowned slightly: "President Fearon should be able to maintain order in the society, right?"
She likes to do research quietly and is not used to this kind of inexplicable exclusion. As soon as she heard Rosen's words, she had the urge to get out of the car and go home.
Rosen knew what she was thinking by looking at her micro-expression, and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, I have already prepared, just leave it to me to deal with it."
Thrandis breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help complaining: "We are all mages from Silver Moon Castle, and they are all here to study magic. Why is there such a dispute?"
These words show the shortcomings of the mentor as a young girl, that is, she is too idealistic.
Fortunately, the instructor is very smart and can tell the truth at once. As long as Rosen gives more guidance, Faerun's influence can be completely dispelled.
Rosen smiled and said: "Teacher, there are very few people in this world who truly focus on magic like you, and the vast majority of people must always pay attention to safeguarding their own interests in the world."
Thrandis blinked slightly: "Then what?"
"Teacher, you must have heard the following sentences."
Rosen coughed lightly.
"The hands of a mage are holy and clean hands, and they should only receive knowledge, not money."
"Mages should pursue magic. If you only want to benefit from magic, it is an insult to magic. This mage's achievements are destined to be limited."
"If you want to be favored by wisdom, the mage must calm his mind and stay away from the disputes of the world."
Thrandis blinked, a little confused: "Everyone says so, what's the problem?"
She felt these words were right.
Rosen leaned close to her ear and whispered: "I wonder if you have noticed that most of the mages who said this are successful, live a prosperous life, and lack nothing."
Thrandis was shocked. Looking back on the past, he realized that this was really the case.
Seeing that she had thought about it, Rosen said softly again.
"The priest tells believers to live a simple life and serve God devoutly, but the temple is built in an extremely luxurious way."
"Faerun asked you to focus on your magic, but he only gave you 15 crowns a year in relief. He himself enjoys such a spacious and warm office. The price of one desk can buy several cabins."
"No mortal in this world can live without this world, and everyone wants to live a better life, but there are only so many good things, so what should we do?"
Thrandis said softly: "I'll take it first, and then I'll tell others that it's not good, so they won't remember it."
Rosen immediately praised: "Teacher, you are so wise."
Thrandis blushed with embarrassment and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to twist Rosen's arm.
"Let you make fun of me!"
Rosen quickly begged for mercy. After Thrandis calmed down a little, he gently held her hand and soothed her troubles with a gentle voice.
"Teacher, I know that even if you understand this, you still hate the trivial matters of the world."
"But don't worry, you still have me."
"Leave all these dirty, tedious, and annoying jobs to me."
"You taught me magic and freed me from the quagmire of ignorance. As an apprentice, I will try my best to help you get rid of the worries of the world, so that you can always pursue magic without distraction."
After hearing these words, Thrandis raised his eyes and looked directly at Rosen.
Rosen also looked at him firmly.
Suddenly, regardless of her makeup or the presence of outsiders, she kissed Rosen directly on the lips.
Naturally, Rosen would not refuse.
After a long time, the two separated.
Although Jennifer, the maid on the side, was also flushed, she still showed a high degree of professionalism. She immediately took out the dressing box and touched up Thrandis's makeup.
Rosen smiled slightly, licked the pure natural lip gloss extracted from flower petals on his lips, and turned to look out the window as if nothing had happened.
The warm spring breeze blew on his face, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers in the fields, making him feel an indescribable sense of comfort.
