Under the guidance of the Great Marian Lighthouse, the merchant ship finally sailed into the port without any mishaps. As soon as the anchor was lowered, the rookie Hero and her Guardian Knight jumped off the ship in a hurry.
Only those who had drifted on the sea would miss the solid touch under their feet. After more than three months, the feeling of stepping on land again made Lolo almost burst into tears. It was the first time for the girl to sail on the sea for so long. In the first few days, she was not used to it. She felt like she was floating, as if she was stepping on cotton.
However, when the girl gradually got used to it, she had an unexpected discovery. Compared to on land, practicing swordsmanship on the sea seemed to have a better sense of balance. This was most obvious from the young man. Rob was now like a small boat bobbing up and down in the waves. Every time he felt like he was about to be swallowed by the wind and waves, he could be seen floating again in the blink of an eye.
Luo Luo clicked her tongue in wonder. This was the first time she had seen someone with such good comprehension. It was a pity that the young man's talent was mediocre. The rookie Hero had already lost count of how many times he felt pity for a certain someone.
Luo Bu, on the other hand, did not think much of it. Practicing swordsmanship was only a sideline for a Great Mage, and he did not have any ambitions in the first place. However, his current identity was the girl's Guardian Knight, so he was embarrassed to be too lazy. He was already very satisfied that he had gained something in the past few months.
Now that he had a certain level of close combat ability, he could at least deal with a few ordinary people. Compared to the otaku who would pant after running two steps, he was undoubtedly many times stronger.
It was the first time for Lolo to come to Gudilesi University. As soon as she got off the ship, she opened her eyes wide and looked around like a curious baby. If it were not for Archmage who stopped her quickly, she would have strayed into a men's bathhouse.
In fact, Rob could understand Lolo's feelings at this time. Every traveler who had just arrived in this city would be deeply attracted by this place.
Gudilesi University had always been known as the capital of art. Compared to other places, every building here had its own unique style and history. They were built in different times, representing the artistic achievements of each era. Even an inconspicuous grocery store at the corner was likely to have an extraordinary history behind it.
Walking on such a street, one could not help but feel as if they had traveled through time.
And the most amazing thing was that even if these buildings of different styles were put together, it would not give people any sense of incongruity. It was just like the city itself, free and full of tolerance.
Unlike Lolo, the young man had the honor of being here about four years ago. However, he did not come by ship. At that time, Steins came to Gudilesi University to visit an old friend. After opening the portal, he came with Rob.
That was also the first time that Rob experienced the convenience of long-distance teleportation. However, this thing could only be played by a ninth-grade supreme magus. Although ordinary magic arrays also had the function of teleportation, the accompanying cost would increase exponentially with the distance of teleportation. The cost of teleporting from the Lionheart Empire to the Free city-state was so great that even an eighth-grade grand magus like Demain would feel the heartache.
Unfortunately, Luo Bu only stayed in Gudilesi University City for less than two days.
There had always been a rumor in the magic circle that the principal of the Royal College of Magic and Magic, Steins, and the principal of the St. Roland Academy of Magic, used to be the same master. However, due to a certain matter, the two fell out. As a result, not only did the two old men not reconcile, but the conflict between them grew even more intense.
It was not until Steins led the Royal College of Magic and Magic to surpass the St. Roland Academy of Magic to become the number one academy and trample Abus underfoot that the enmity between the two was completely formed.
You might not believe it, but as the first and second vice presidents of the Magic Association, Stannis and Abus barely spoke to each other in the past ten years. The number of times they spoke to each other could be counted on one hand.
This time, Steins did not want to stay a moment longer in Abus's territory. After visiting his old friend, he directly teleported back to the Royal College of Magic and Magic with Rob.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Rob had only been to Gudilesi University before. His previous trip was too rushed, and he did not have a chance to fully appreciate the charm of the city.
However, he was not in a hurry now. This time, he came here with Lolo. If everything went well, the two of them would live in Gudilesi University for a long time. There would be plenty of opportunities to slowly enjoy the scenery in the future.
Compared to the Academy of Magic in the north, which was used to starting classes in early autumn, many Academy of Magic in the south preferred to recruit new students at the end of the first month of winter. In fact, it was at the end of the year, which lasted about 20 days in total.
Lolo and the others arrived at the right time, just in time for the peak enrollment of the various academies.
These days, the ships that docked at the shore were almost filled with young boys and girls from all over the world, full of dreams. They were high-spirited, full of curiosity, and their innocent faces were filled with anticipation for the future. Their arrival had injected a youthful vigor into the ancient university town.
These kids reminded Archmage of himself ten years ago. When he first entered the Royal College of Magic and Magic, he was probably no different from these kids. In the blink of an eye, he had graduated from the academy (the two vice-presidents, Steins and Demain, obviously had different opinions). After saying goodbye to his bittersweet student days, Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, was also very emotional.
Lolo, however, had a suspicious look on her face. She patted Zhang Heng's back and said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, don't embarrass me. You are my guardian knight. Since we just got off the ship, you have been staring at the girls on the street. What do you mean?"
Archmage was a little speechless, but he could not explain it. In the end, he could only choose to change the topic.
"By the way, now that we have arrived at Gudilesi University, it's time for you to report to the academy. Do you know where the Saint Roland Brothers Academy of Magic is?"
There were many famous buildings in Gudilesi University, but the most famous one was the Saint Roland Academy of Magic, which was founded by Roland herself. This famous Academy of Magic was located in the west of the city, adjacent to the Palace of Verne and the Red River Square. There were also two commercial streets next to it, and the famous Fairy's Eye Auction House was also nearby. That place could be called the most prosperous area in the university town. It was absolutely a prime location, and Saint Roland Academy of Magic occupied more than half of it.
Compared to the pitiful number of students enrolled in the academy every year, Rob suspected that the students in the academy were not used to such an empty campus.
If you wandered around the academy when you were not in class, if you were unlucky, you might not see anyone for several days. If you were murdered, you might not be found until half a month later …
It was strange that when Roland was still around, Saint Roland Academy of Magic was also famous for educating everyone without discrimination. After all, humans were still at a disadvantage in the war and urgently needed a large number of mages to turn the situation around. At that time, it was the first time for all the races to see the new classes of humans, so they were more or less confused and could not find an effective way to deal with them. Even the level one mages could play a great role on the battlefield.
However, later on, humans gradually became stronger in the Dawn Continent. On one hand, the demand for low-level mages was not as urgent as before, and on the other hand, the races gradually accumulated many methods to deal with mages. Saint Roland Academy of Magic began to slowly turn into an elite education system, devoting itself to cultivating high-level mages. The admission standards became stricter and stricter, and the number of students enrolled decreased year by year. Finally, it became the situation it was now.
From the perspective of talent cultivation, the transformation of Saint Roland Academy of Magic was not a failure. In recent years, many famous and powerful figures had come out of the academy, and the average quality of the students was much better than any other Academy of Magic, including the Royal College of Magic and Magic. However, it was an indisputable fact that the academy's popularity had declined. Not to mention the era of Roland, even the academy four or five hundred years ago was much livelier than it was now.
