The route of this large floating saucer is fixed, and it will automatically dodge obstacles when it encounters them. It does not require Pani to control it himself.
"how do you feel?"
Glancing at the surrounding scenery that was constantly flying back, Pani turned to look at Anvis with a little pride in being a member of the Pamir.
But what surprised him was that the freshman behaved very indifferently to all this. He didn't instinctively change his stance like most freshmen did, and he didn't even show a look of surprise.
Did I make a mistake, this new student is not from an ordinary background?
Pani thought a little suspiciously, and suppressed the idea of showing off the floating disc stabilizing force field to Anvis.
"It feels good. However, Your Excellency, the leader, could you please briefly introduce to me what things need to be paid attention to in the academy?"
Anvis smiled and casually asked a question commonly asked by freshmen.
"Oh! Of course it's no problem! But you don't have to call me Sir. My name is Pani, just call me by my name!"
After coming back to his senses, Pani said quickly, with a warm smile on his face.
"Okay, Senior Pani. I'm Avis."
Anvis nodded slightly and also said his name.
"Avis, right? I've written it down."
Pani also nodded.
"The rules of the college are very loose. Apart from the prohibition of maliciously harming other students, and the requirement to pass the final examination and obtain a graduation certificate within ten years, there are no other special regulations."
"However, Pamir has an independent credit system, and many things need to be redeemed with credits. For example, the graduation certificate of our mysterious school requires five thousand credits."
As he said that, Pani looked at Anvis and hesitated for a moment.
"Also, actually I want to negotiate a deal with you."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Anvis looked at Pani with interest,
"That's right. As a freshman in the first year of school, you have the privilege of exchanging gold coins for credits. The exchange ratio is ten gold coins for one credit, and the upper limit is one hundred credits."
"And I can buy the credits in your hand at a price of thirty to one. If you don't have enough gold coins on hand, I can also pay the gold coins first, and then transfer them to me after you have redeemed the credits."
Having said this, Pani paused and tightened his hand on the staff.
"Of course, because you are a freshman, I can tell you the stakes here first.
In addition to being used to redeem graduation certificates, credits can also be redeemed in the academy for many rare items and knowledge that are difficult to encounter outside.
I'm not trying to trick you. Thirty gold coins per credit is the market price here.
Even if you don’t want to trade credits now, you can still exchange gold coins at the same ratio in the college’s trading market in the future.”
"However, if you plan to sell credits, I still hope you can come to me to trade."
After finishing all the words in one breath, Pani seemed to finally relax and relax.
As a newcomer who has just entered school for more than a year, he is not very used to this kind of thing.
"So that's it."
Anvis nodded, and then he looked into Pani's brown eyes and spoke in a confused and curious tone.
"But, Senior Pani, why do you have to explain so much? If you don't explain, maybe I will agree to a deal with you now——"
Hearing this question, Pani was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something and couldn't help laughing.
"Sorry, actually when I entered school, after the senior who introduced me explained this to me, I asked a similar question."
As he said that, Pani gradually stopped smiling and showed a serious expression.
“The reply the senior gave me back then was this:
'In Pamir, it is not a smart person to offend others for a mere hundred points. Because the price you will pay for this in the future is likely to far exceed this number.'"
Anvis was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"I see."
He fully agreed with Pani's words.
"As a reference, I can tell you my choices back then."
Not realizing what he had just escaped, Pani continued to share his original experience.
"At that time, after thinking about it, I chose to trade half of it with the senior, which was fifty credits."
"Of course, your choice is up to you..."
Before he finished speaking, the floating saucer traveling at high speed suddenly stopped, gradually lowered its height, and landed at the same floating saucer landing point as the aerial dock.
Pani stopped talking, raised his head with a smile, and motioned forward.
"We're here, Pamir Academy of Mysteries and Relics!"
Anvis looked up and saw the towering gray-white stone tower reaching into the sky.
In the circular square in front of the main entrance of the tower, an ancient fountain pool spurts out clear magical spring water. A lifelike stone sculpture of Emperor Gloria stands in the center of the fountain.
The emperor holds the famous sword of king selection in his hand, steps on a crystal dragon, wears a crown surrounded by stars, looks into the distance, and looks awe-inspiring and inviolable.
The stone sculpture climbs on the moss base and is inscribed with the most famous motto of the mystic school.
"May the mystery never exist, may the mystery last forever——"
Anvis stared at the inscription on the base in silence, as if he could still feel the complex emotions in [Secret Keeper] Okar's heart when he said these words.
“Gu—what do you mean Gu?”
At this time, the pigeon squatting above his head cooed.
"that is……"
Anvis was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something.
"Wait, I didn't say it out loud just now, did I?"
"Gu?"
The pigeon turned to look at Anvis, looking a little confused.
"I don't communicate with you through sound waves - you don't 'hear' me talking, but you sense that I'm talking!"
"You didn't notice this?"
"What's wrong, Junior Anvis?"
Pani seemed to notice that Anvis was stunned for a moment, and Pani looked at him strangely.
"Oh! It's nothing, I was just looking at the inscription on the base of the statue."
Anvis turned his head without any trace and gestured in the direction of the statue.
"That ancient Mannic inscription?"
Pani nodded understandingly.
"That is the most famous motto of the Mysterious School, which comes from His Majesty Okar, the Keeper of Secrets. I am ashamed to say that I can only understand the first half of it."
"The disappearance of mystery is the ultimate goal of our mysterious school. That is to transfer all spells classified into the mysterious school to the classification of other schools."
"As for the second half of the sentence, I dare not talk nonsense. I am afraid that only by reaching the level of [The Secret Keeper] can we truly understand its meaning."
"I see--"
With a decent smile on his face, Anvis tapped his chest three times with his right hand and bowed calmly and solemnly in the direction of the statue.
Later, under the leadership of Pani, Avis briefly learned about the internal structure of the Academy of Mysteries and Relics. He then received his identity badge in the academy's mission hall.
The Pamir ID badge is a very convenient thing that has many functions. For example, it can contact others, receive credits, activate college facilities, etc.
But on the other hand, if you lose it, replacing it is very troublesome and expensive.
In the meantime, Anvis went to the exchange counter and exchanged 1,000 gold coins for 100 credits.
Under Pani's somewhat heartbroken gaze, Avis paid fifty credits directly in exchange for the right to use an independent second-level residence for one year.
