The Imperial Academy is a cradle for cultivating the backbone of the royal city. Fighting spirit is always flying in it, and magic is overflowing. Although the total number of people is not large, it is a behemoth second only to the royal palace.
There are nineteen freshmen enrolled this year, and the only one missing is naturally Boom, a poor man. It is precisely because of his status as a poor man that no one cares whether he stays or goes.
Imperial College does not have a clear deadline for graduation. Anyone who can reach a high-level profession can obtain a certification document. It is a stepping stone to the powerful and a privilege.
But not everyone is so smooth. There are still countless parasites in the Imperial Academy. They are just students all their lives. They stay in the dormitory until the day they die of old age, neither planning to go out to work nor striving to break through the ranks. p>
In the eyes of these people, their dreams have long been shattered, and the colorful world has nothing to do with them. They live just for comfort. Even if they are just students for the rest of their lives, it is better than dying miserably outside.
The sound of rustling came as expected with the morning light, and a middle-aged man wearing a magic branch robe was holding a broom and cleaning up the garbage on the roadside.
Occasionally, people who pass by dismiss him. The reason is very simple. At this age, he is still a student, so he must be like that for the rest of his life.
However, the middle-aged man turned a blind eye to this, as if the garbage was his biggest concern, as if he had no ambition.
Boom! The bronze bell rang on time, a new day ushered in Aogu City, and the first class of Imperial College began. But this person was still cleaning the campus, as if the mage robe on his body had become a decoration.
He has lived in this Imperial Academy for nearly ten years, but has never taken a step forward, and has never made any progress. The reputation of an intermediate magician has become a fig leaf, which is a pity to abandon and useless.
Therefore, three years ago, he voluntarily applied to become an affiliate of the Imperial College. He could stay at the school to study, but only as a staff member. The so-called job was to clean three roads. As long as the work could be completed, the rest would be taken care of.
Use your time as you wish.
In the past three years, he has been working diligently, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a scoundrel who wants to live and die. As a mid-level magician, he can easily support himself no matter how bad he is, so why commit himself to the Imperial Academy.<
/p>
But gradually, people also lost interest in him. It's like a lion being attracted to ants, but he won't always look at him.
The senior officials of the Imperial Academy also thoroughly investigated him, and even knew exactly who his grandfather was who had been dead for many years, so this job fell on him.
Standing outside the cafeteria door, he waited for the last student to leave, and then stuffed some leftovers into a bag. Seeing this, the chefs shook their heads, while the student shouted bad luck.
Under the plane tree, he stretched out his limbs and lay on the grass like the lowest of the poor. As his throat moved, he ate pieces of bread covered with teeth marks.
The Flower Moon is his favorite season. He still remembers that during the Flower Moon many years ago, he was sent to Aogu City and transformed into the Imperial Academy.
After thinking about it, a gray-haired rat quietly approached, and after looking around, it got into the man's sleeve. But the man ignored this and even stroked the other man's fur with his hands.
"Let's go after eating. Today is a new beginning for us. Remember not to be late." The man seemed to be talking to himself, but the gray-haired rat quietly crawled out of the cuff, burrowed and disappeared in an instant. It was night, and the man stood on the campus like a ghost. The large shadows became the best disguise, and the students coming and going acted as a natural barrier.
He is an extremely thoughtful person, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Imperial Academy, nor would he have decided to continue taking action after lurking for nearly ten years.
The distance from your residence to the tutor building is 2089 steps, the distance from the tutor building to the student dormitory building is 1762 steps, and the distance from the dormitory building to the Imperial Library is 3418 steps.
Every instructor's habits are memorized by heart, every student's lifestyle is like a treasure, the shape of every tree is clearly visible, and the swing of every shadow is clearly known.
Time seemed precise and elegant at this moment. The man stood up slowly, and the last candle was extinguished. Closing his eyes, he turned himself into a petal and floated towards the dormitory building.
One stream of water suddenly stopped, two, three. The familiar five-person team climbed over the wall and left, and the hysteria that they had heard countless times was no longer heard.
The building guard collected a few gold coins as usual, and the last group of students who were planning to go out for fun also disappeared. At this time, the man's pocket watch was fixed at twelve o'clock.
Walking through the woods and around the flower beds, couples chatted sweetly, and the moonlight illuminated the most charming scenery. The man's figure finally arrived in front of the Imperial Library, or next to the sewage outlet that had been abandoned for a long time. p>
Silt squeezed out from between the feet and instantly covered the instep. A gray-haired rat was lying on the steel mesh, constantly gnawing at the rusty hinge.
Not long after, a man and a mouse sneaked in. After lifting the floor of the toilet utility room, they sneaked into the imperial library.
However, today, the man had no intention of stealing. This was a habit he had developed over the years. He was used to finding out everything before taking any action.
The Imperial Library has four floors and looks like a pyramid. His target is the books on the third and top floors, all the books!
The contract beast, the gray-haired rat, was thrown into the third floor, while he himself stood outside the magic restriction on the top floor.
A card engraved with magic patterns appeared out of thin air. The original owner had died in an accident long ago, and the initiator was this man.
There are only two times left on the display, but this is enough, so the next time you come, it will be the end of your trip to Ogu.
The magic restriction was instantly opened, and the man raised his legs and entered, like a regular customer who had visited countless times.
There are less than a hundred books on the top floor, but most of the papers are yellowed and seem to fall apart at the slightest touch. This is the most attractive place of the Imperial Academy. It is rumored that although there are not many books in it, they are recorded in detail.
Various magic moves, including mutation magic.
As a person from the Principality of Zeon, he is most aware of the current situation of his principality. Not only are there few soldiers and generals, but they cannot even select ten qualified magic apprentices every year.
But he was extremely loyal to his hometown. Instead of leaving after becoming a high-level professional, he volunteered to go to Aogu City and became a spy.
In the past ten years, my best years have passed away in contempt, and the ultimate goal is these books that are close at hand.
Squeak! The gray-haired rat stood upright, reminding its owner that time was running out. The man quickly walked out of the room on the top floor and returned along the road.
In a corner of the Imperial Academy, gray-haired rats keep crawling on the ground. This is a secret language that only the master and the servant can understand.
"It seems I need two storage bags. Bring them to me in three days." The man stroked the gray-haired rat and murmured.
The latter nodded very wisely, then dug a hole and left. At this time, the bright moon was still hanging in the sky, and the Imperial Academy was still as usual, not even a stone had changed.
