Marjorie stepped slightly and said with some embarrassment
"Normally, the school will allocate some places for apprentices to live for tutors, but tutor Archibald has no spare places now." Marjorie's voice became lower and lower as she spoke.
“My mentor’s other apprentices and I all live near the school…
I rent the yard myself, which is an asset of the school. There are discounts for those of us who are members of the school. After successful application, it only costs about 600 magic stones a month."
"Six hundred magic stones may seem like a lot, but in fact, as long as you are willing to do a few more school tasks, you can easily afford it."
"I understand, Senior Marjorie."
Colin nodded and answered without changing his expression, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish at all.
'Teacher Archibald, as a second-level wizard...doesn't he have no place for apprentices to live...perhaps there is some secret.'
However, he didn't want to explore the secret behind it, after all, it was none of his business.
He was already prepared for the drop in salary.
After all, in an environment like the Xisheng School, purity and abundant resources obviously cannot have both. Only when there is no competition for resources and few resources can it be relatively clean.
"Let's go, I'll take you on a quick tour of the school, and after that I'll take you to apply for housing."
"Um."
Colin stepped forward to follow Marjorie.
It is also good for him not to live in the school. He has too many secrets. Living outside the school at least reduces the worry of being discovered to be abnormal.
At this time, Marjorie, who was walking in front, suddenly paused, patted her head, and said angrily
"There's one more thing I forgot!"
"Forgot to ask your instructor to assign you work."
As he said this, he wanted to turn around and go back, but as if he thought of something, his steps suddenly stopped.
"It's almost twelve o'clock. It's better to come see the instructor tomorrow morning."
Marjorie murmured, then turned to look at Colin and reminded him with a serious face.
"There are not many rules here as a tutor, but there are still a few things that need special attention.
One of them is that you cannot enter the tutor's study after 12 noon.
In addition, you must leave here before twelve o'clock in the evening and cannot return until after sunrise."
Colin's heart trembled and he nodded seriously.
He didn't think Marjorie was just talking casually, there were some rules that he had to keep in mind.
"Let's go." Marjorie continued to lead him outside.
"I'll tell you the rest of the precautions as we walk."
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Huapei Street.
In a courtyard on Lieu Saint Street, a little far away from Xi Saint Street.
"Sir, what do you think of this house? As for the price... after the school's subsidy, it only costs 700 magic stones a month."
A middle-aged apprentice asked respectfully.
He is a member of the Xisheng School's affiliated forces, and his status is far inferior to Colin and others, so his attitude is naturally extremely respectful.
Colin nodded, looking at the middle-aged apprentice, he seemed to have found a trace of the past feeling of being a member of the Lapp School on Blackstone Island.
In this world, there is a huge gap between school members and non-school members in every aspect.
Without answering in a hurry, he raised his head and looked around again.
This is a two-story bungalow with a yard. The area is not larger than the ones I have seen before, and the price is more expensive than the previous five hundred or six hundred magic stones.
But this set is his favorite set.
The main reason is that the location is remote enough and the nearest neighbor is only ten meters away, making it very private.
In addition, the area is sufficient.
The bungalow is about 100 square meters, and the yard is about twice the size of the bungalow. It is more than 200 square meters, which is enough for him to live alone.
"That's it." Colin said after making up his mind.
The rent was due every three months, so he took out 2,100 magic stones and handed them to the middle-aged apprentice.
For Neustadt City, if this apartment was rented to an ordinary wandering wizard, the monthly price would probably be more than 2,100 magic stones.
...The benefits of becoming a member of a school of thought have been clearly revealed.
"Junior Colin, since you have chosen your room, I suggest you ask your instructor for a Nado seed tomorrow, and philadelphia seeds. This is also our unique benefit...
If you cultivate it well, you will have a simple guard here in about a month...it will be no problem to guard against some petty thieves."
"Thank you for your advice, Senior Marjorie." Colin replied with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, I could get a Nado seed from Mentor Archibald for free!
Although Naduo is not very strong, that is for a formal wizard.
For an apprentice like him, Naduo is undoubtedly a very good assistant in the residence, not only assisting in greening, but also serving as a warning.
Especially when paired with Xilai white flowers, it can form a special "access control system", which can make life a lot more convenient.
………………
The next day.
Colin arrived at Archibald's residence early.
Following Marjorie's demonstration yesterday, he called out the Hila Flower and passed the verification and walked in.
Everything here is just like yesterday, full of peace and tranquility.
‘I don’t know why I can’t stay here after midnight.’
Walking on the path and looking at everything around him, Colin thought inexplicably.
But he quickly dispelled this curiosity.
Walk into the villa and come to the door of the study.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
He knocked gently on the door.
"Please come in." A familiar voice came.
"Good morning, Tutor Archibald." Colin opened the door and walked in, subconsciously greeting him respectfully.
But the next second, he was slightly startled.
At this time, there was another person in the study besides Archibald.
"Hello." The other figure took the initiative to greet him. His voice was firm and steady, which was completely opposite to his weak appearance, "Lillian Rudolph."
‘Rudolf…’ Colin keenly noticed that this was the same surname as Archibald.
"Colin Leonard." He replied quickly.
Lilian has a petite figure, and her face is as young and fair as her figure.
If it weren't for her calm and resolute voice, and her face that was so calm that it could even be said to be indifferent, it would add a bit of maturity to her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then she looks like an ordinary cute girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
"Good morning, Colin...this is your senior sister." At this moment, Archibald's slow explanation came belatedly.
"Senior Lillian." Colin turned his head and greeted Lillian respectfully.
"Senior Colin." Lilian responded to him, her expression cold but her tone calm and gentle.
After greeting Colin, Lillian turned to look at Archibald and left the study.
"What's the matter with you coming to me, Colin?" Archibald asked, "It's not possible to guide the meditation method again... It's not that I don't want to, but too many times will be counterproductive.
"
"No." Colin shook his head, "Mentor, I came to you for two things."
"One is to ask you to give me a Nado seed and a Xilai white flower seed.
The other one is to ask you, what work will I need to be responsible for in the future?"
The school is different from the school in the previous life.
Generally speaking, in addition to learning and practicing, most apprentices have more or less work to do. Only those with particularly outstanding talents can avoid being responsible for chores.
"The seeds of Nado and Philodendron..." Archibald said and waved.
Just like yesterday, a branch suddenly stretched out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Archibald took two seeds with a strange luster from the branch and handed them to Colin.
"Here, here it is."
"Thank you, mentor." Colin thanked him quickly.
"As for work..." Archibald frowned, and his forehead, which was already full of grooves, became more and more wrinkled.
Colin's heart also became excited... He didn't know what kind of work he would be assigned.
After a while, Archibald frowned.
"There is no work for you to do. You can concentrate on your cultivation for the time being and change your meditation method as soon as possible."
‘No job?!’ Colin was slightly startled.
"What's wrong?" Archibald asked, "Don't worry if you don't have a job. This does not affect the school's monthly subsidy of 100 magic stones to senior apprentices."
"If you are short of money, you can choose to do some tasks."
"Okay, mentor." Colin finally came to his senses.
'It is undoubtedly a good thing not to have a job. According to the situation here, I'm afraid there won't be much profit from work... maybe it won't be as good as doing school tasks.'
'My current savings are still sufficient for the time being, so why not take this opportunity to improve my own strength and change the meditation method.'
Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt hesitant...
Do I want to ask Archibald now about how to advance to become a formal wizard?
The Tin Sage School doesn't know the specific time when he became a senior wizard, and Archibald obviously doesn't know either... so there's no need to worry about dazzling him.
However, it's just the second day of reporting here... it's a bit too early.
After pondering for a moment, Colin decided to put it aside for the time being.
He raised his head and said goodbye to Archibald, then turned and returned to his home.
After all, he hasn't even successfully changed the meditation method yet. Even if he knows the advanced method, he will have to wait until he changes the meditation method before he can use it.
It’s better to wait until you successfully change the meditation method before asking...
