The Duke took the lead and walked out the door, followed closely by Anvis and others.
In the center of the square, several receiving mages wearing the robes of the Pamir Academy were already waiting at the landing point.
Behind them, dozens of freshmen dressed in different clothes gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the college's airship.
"Your Excellency the Duke."
Seeing the arrival of the Duke and his entourage, the seventh-level mage leading the team put his left hand on his chest and bowed to the Duke.
Afterwards, several mages tidied up their robes and solemnly made a mage salute to the Duke.
The first ceremony is the etiquette for the leader of the Pamir Academy to face the Duke. The second ceremony represents the respect of a low-level spellcaster for a ninth-level powerhouse.
The Duke also returned the mage salute to the guides, then he stepped aside and motioned for Anvis to step forward.
"This is my child, Anvis. Please take care of it along the way."
Anvis took a few steps forward and calmly saluted several college leaders.
Several mages nodded, and the leading mage spoke.
"Please rest assured that your descendants will receive the best treatment."
The Duke nodded and turned his attention to the group of freshmen behind several college recruiters.
"Are these this year's freshmen?"
Although Duke Carrot had completely restrained his aura at this time, these new students still felt nervous instinctively and did not dare to take a breath, as if they were small animals being targeted by tigers.
"Yes, all the new students from the northern region of Kallas Province are here, a total of seventy-four people."
The leading mage replied.
After sizing it up, the Duke nodded slightly.
"not bad!"
At this time, the huge floating ship in the sky had completely landed and was suspended at a height of less than one meter above the ground.
On the side of the hull, near the bow, a hatch about two people high slowly rose upwards.
"Goodbye, brother."
Fiona hurriedly said goodbye to Anvis, as it would be too late to wait any longer.
After the cabin door was fully opened, a mage guided many new students to board the ship one after another. The remaining mages were scattered around, vaguely protecting these new students in the center.
"Sir Anvis, please stand next to me."
After everyone entered the cabin, the mage leader gave a final greeting to the Duke and others. When Anvis came to the side, the staff paused slightly, and the two figures suddenly disappeared.
The inscription array on the ship's hull lit up slightly, and the floating ship continued to climb in front of everyone's eyes, gradually shrinking in size, and finally turned into a silver dot among the clouds in the blue sky.
…………
In the cabin, an academy reception mage stood in the middle of the silver-white metal corridor, staring seriously at the many freshmen gathered in front of him.
"Now, line up and come to me in order..."
Having said this, the mage paused for a moment, then reached out to the new students and motioned to the other three mages beside him.
"...and collect the number plate from them. Those who receive the number plate can go to the room on their own."
"Your room is in the third-floor cabin, and there are stairs on both sides of the corridor to reach it.
Information about the specific structure of the cabin, prohibited areas, etc. are all contained in the number plate. Once you get the number plate, you can read it with your mental power."
"Time is precious, I will only repeat it. The rules on the ship are very simple: no noise, no making trouble! Anyone who violates the rules will be directly disqualified from admission!"
When he said the last sentence, the guiding mage's tone became slightly more serious.
There are no fools among the freshmen who are qualified to board this ship, and there are no unexpected situations. Many freshmen lined up in several queues and took the number plates from the four guides in turn.
When entering an unfamiliar environment for the first time, the freshmen seemed a little silent. After receiving their number plates, they at most exchanged glances with familiar people, and then each took their number plates and looked for their own room.
………
"This is your room, Sir Anvis. If you need anything extra, you can come to me in the cabin at the end of the corridor."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Team Leader."
After the leading mage left, Anvis looked at the ground getting lower and lower through the silver porthole, his thoughts a little mixed for a while.
Some are uneasy about leaving home suddenly, and some are looking forward to those familiar scenes appearing in front of me again.
His cabin is on the top floor of the ship, on the same level as many fifth- and sixth-level academy leaders.
The indoor area reaches tens of square meters, and all kinds of furniture and facilities are luxurious and complete. It also has a separate meditation room and a separate bathroom. It is very different from the ordinary freshmen's rooms which are only a dozen square meters and have very simple furnishings.
Although Pamir College claims that all admitted freshmen have equal status, some freshmen are always more equal than others.
After the floating ship rose into the clouds, Anvis left the porthole, skillfully opened the closet in the cabin and put on a complete set of Pamir Academy uniforms.
The full uniform includes a dark blue dress jacket, pure white shirt, scarf, dark brown leather boots, and a black/white short cloak with the college castle crest.
As a standard alchemy product, it can automatically adjust its size according to the body shape of the person wearing it, and has a certain resistance to spell attacks.
Re-fastening the dark silver watch chain to the buttonhole of his uniform, Avis sat in front of the silver desk with the same style as the room, and took out the "Mercury Prophecy" from the ring.
Open this silver magic book with a mirror-like surface and continue to study the profound magic knowledge recorded in the book.
Time is precious, he must seize every minute and every second.
…………
"Ding--"
During dinner, the crisp crystal bell rang. Anvis closed the book, yawned, took out his pocket watch from his uniform pocket, and checked the time.
"Seven fifty-eight?"
After snapping the cover of the watch shut, Anvis stood up, stretched, and stretched his muscles before leaving the room and heading to the restaurant on the ship.
The main restaurant of the floating ship is located on the fourth floor of the ship, with three entrances and exits, and the area is very large.
The environment of the restaurant is very elegant, and the interior decoration adopts a very retro Gloria style.
The light white tables and chairs are decorated with elegant streamlines, and a white porcelain vase with light blue roses is placed on each table. The soft petals are still covered with crystal dewdrops.
All kinds of weird and delicious delicacies are served on huge silver plates, neatly arranged in categories according to the types and properties of their raw materials, for students to take as they please.
There is a trace amount of magic power in the ingredients of each dish. Although it cannot be compared with the three meals Anvis had in the castle, for most students who are not particularly noble, these dishes are already considered delicacies.
Before arriving at Kallas City, the floating ship had already passed three new student gathering points. Therefore, the number of people gathered in the restaurant at this time had reached hundreds.
The many freshmen were vaguely divided into three circles.
On one side of the restaurant, a small number of freshmen were eating and munching. The food on the plates in front of them was piled like a mountain, without caring about other people's eyes.
Some freshmen from big families sat on the other side of the restaurant. They gathered together in a small circle, chatting elegantly while eating, and occasionally chuckled and praised.
Most of the remaining freshmen were sitting in the central part of the restaurant. Most of them were students from ordinary backgrounds and descendants of minor nobles.
Since everyone was a new student in Pamir at this time, the distance caused by the status gap quietly faded away, and the conversation between them was quite lively.
