More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Baishi Tower Academy has officially opened for more than ten days.

During this period of time, Richard lived as an auditor while constantly obtaining what he wanted to know from the White Rock Tower Academy, and he had gradually become familiar with many situations in the White Rock Tower Academy, and many of his own research breakthroughs had also been made.

......

Half a month later, the library of the White Rock Tower Academy.

It is a building more than 10 meters high, and from the outside, it looks like a flat cylinder, made of large white boulders, which is quite imposing.

Inside, it is divided into three floors, and Richard is in the first layer at this time.

In front of a long wooden table on the first floor, Richard had just finished reading a folded book with some kind of yellow leather cover, "Human Skin: A Complete Explanation of Spells". At this time, I was flipping through a book called "The Mystery of Demonic Spells - Toltai's Codex of the Wizard".

"Bang la", Richard was highly concentrated, turned the book quickly, and quickly memorized knowledge. Occasionally stop somewhere, fall into deep thought, recall the knowledge from the Monroe Chapter, and do some verification.

On Richard's side, sitting was Gro, with a book in front of him called "Insights from Ctor Di: How to Become a Qualified Wizard Apprentice".

Gro's brow furrowed, one finger resting on the page, reading word by word, still muttering in his mouth. Although the reading speed is a little slow, compared to Richard, Gro's attitude is extremely serious. But the longer he read, the tighter Gro's brow became—because he couldn't read it more and more.

What is the "optimal construction of the source of mana"? What is the "effective increase of the smelting speed"? What is the "key element of mana operation"? What is the "opening of mana channel"?

As a Gro who is not even skilled in meditation, he is completely unable to figure out how to become a qualified wizard apprentice.

After watching it for a long time, Gro couldn't help but raise his head and look at Richard to say something. saw that Richard was deep in thought, "coo", swallowed saliva, and swallowed what he wanted to say.

At this moment, Richard, who was looking down and thinking, suddenly sharpened his eyes and looked around, as if he sensed something wrong.

Gro was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency Richard, what's wrong?"

"Well, nothing. Richard said vaguely, his eyes still scanning his surroundings. At this moment, Richard clearly felt that a ring on his finger became hot, like a red-hot soldering iron.

The temperature change of the ring was very abrupt and without warning, and this ring was the quaint ring given by the old Mullen who was on the giant ship to take revenge on the white stone tower, which made Richard have to be surprised.

Richard remembered that when the elder Mullen gave him the ring, he said that the ring was related to a secret of the White Stone Tower, and if the secret was solved, there would be unimaginable benefits.

So what does it mean for the ring to be hot now?

Is it triggered by something related?

Richard's eyes continued to scan the surroundings, but he didn't find anything special, and he didn't see anything special: most of the students in the library were quietly reading books, some of the rest of the students were holding books back on the shelves, one was standing in front of the bookshelf looking for the books they wanted to read, some were taking books to the front desk at the door to borrow them, and some were ......

Everything is normal and nothing is wrong.

That...... Is it because it is at a specific point in time, causing the ring to heat up on its own?

Richard continued to speculate, but felt the ring on his hand cool down little by little after a brief scorching heat, and returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Richard was extremely puzzled, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a clue, so he could only choose to give up, preparing to wait for the opportunity to study it later.

At this time, Richard thought of something again, looked at Gro and asked, "By the way, the time for the swordsmanship class is almost up, right?"

"Well, this ......" Gro hesitated, "I didn't hear the bronze bell ring, so I shouldn't have ...... yet."

Groh was halfway through his words when there was a "bang" outside the library, and the dull sound of a huge bronze bell being rung echoed throughout the academy. This signifies the end of one lesson and the coming of the next.

"Uh, okay. "The bell is ringing, it's almost time, let's go to class, Lord Richard." ”

"Hmm. Richard nodded, stood up, put the books on the table back on the shelves, and walked out of the library.

Walking to the door, Richard stopped, rubbed the ring from old Mullen in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly, and finally followed Gro out.

......

Half ringing.

When a slightly crisp bronze bell rang, more than twenty students had gathered in the clearing in front of a small forest in the White Rock Tower Academy, all of whom had come to take the "Swordsmanship: Apprentice-level Close Combat (Moko)" course, and Richard and Gro were among them.

For Gro, the reason for taking this course is simple because ...... Cheap.

Yes, cheap - what a sad reason.

Although Gro is a prince, he will inevitably be embarrassed after arriving at the White Rock Tower. Even if he brought some precious jewelry with him, and sold nearly a thousand gold coins, but in the face of the high consumption of the White Stone Tower, he obviously couldn't afford it, so he could only make careful calculations.

This made him regret it very much, and Richard had heard words like "I'm so stupid, I should have brought more valuable things if I knew about it" more than once.

For Richard, the reason for taking this course is not cheap.

With a large number of crystals from the Ring of Space from the mysterious wizard, Richard could have taken the most expensive course, but he didn't really want to do so.

After all, the most expensive course is just to teach a more powerful spell. In Richard's opinion, there is no qualitative difference between mastering one more spell and mastering two more spells. If you really want to make some breakthroughs, it is better to study the entire spell system and magic pattern mechanism according to your own plan.

If it were possible, he wouldn't want to take any of the courses.

In fact, because of his identity as an auditor, Li noticed that he really "skipped class" every day, and he would not be paid much attention.

But in a cautious position, after only a dozen days of school, Richard didn't want to take too much risk, and felt that it was better to continue to pretend to be an ordinary auditor, so he followed Gro, a real ordinary auditor, and chose to study the same course.

In addition, Richard is indeed a little interested in the current world, apprentice-level hand-to-hand combat swordsmanship, and wants to see how it differs from ordinary swordsmanship.

Thinking like this, the sound of "da-da-da" footsteps sounded, and Richard saw a man in his thirties in a gray tight-fitting hunting suit come out of the woods.

The other party's face is plain, but a pair of eyebrows are extremely weird, as if they have been deliberately smeared with charcoal, and they are extremely uneven. At first glance, it looks like two pickled black catfish hanging from the eyes.

Richard noticed that three black ravens were embroidered on the chest of the opponent's gray tight hunting suit, indicating that the opponent was a third-level wizard apprentice - if he was a wizard, the chest would be embroidered with a miniature white stone tower pattern.

From this point of view, the other party may be the kind of existence that has been at the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice for a long time and cannot break through, and it is likely that it has been in the academy for more than ten years. Perhaps, the other party deliberately opened such a course out of compulsion to serve the college. Then, it's hard to say the strength of the other party.

Not only did Richard think so, but the rest of the students also had this guess after seeing the man.

Black Catfish ...... No, the man walked out of the woods, and with a glance of his eyes, he was keenly aware of the suspicious gazes of many students.

The man didn't get angry, but said in a deep voice, "I know what you're thinking, do you think I'm not a wizard and think I'm not capable enough to teach you?"

I'll tell you, I, Moko, was once a wizard. It was only because of his injury that his level dropped that he became a wizard apprentice. Maybe I won't be able to break through again in my life, but for you children who have just entered school, I can still teach.

Of course, you can choose not to believe it, I don't bother to explain anything to you. This is the first class, if you don't want to learn, you can just leave, and someone will return the crystals for your elective courses. And if you want to learn, follow me. ”

With that, the man turned and walked into the woods.

Everyone in the clearing in front of the woods was stunned for a moment, and the next moment they looked at each other and followed.
