The atmosphere in the room was a little strange.
The fake shota blocked the door and glared at the future Supreme Magister Your Honor as if he was afraid that his only remaining "property" would suddenly run away. "What are you trying to say?"
Rob wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "I can understand how you're feeling right now. Although I don't have any money on me right now, you don't have to worry. I heard from Brother Kenneth that many people are interested in our house. As long as we sell it, it should be enough to pay off the money we owe you. Am I right, Brother Kenneth?"
The young man's last sentence was directed at the Guard Captain. Although this small house carried all of his childhood and was very meaningful to him, he couldn't care less at this time. He had to pay off the debt first. As long as he was given some time, he would definitely be able to get the money and buy the house back.
"Hmm, money should be enough." Kenneth said. Ever since the underground city in the Endless Sea of Trees was discovered, the land price of Ryan had been skyrocketing. In the past, a small house like this would only cost four to five gold coins at most, but now, someone was offering a sky-high price of thirty-six gold coins. The average land price of this town had already surpassed Eaton, the capital of Adele Duchy. It had skyrocketed by seven to eight times.
Rob heaved a sigh of relief. The young man's top priority now was to solve his debt problem. What he was most worried about was that the grocery store would not be able to sell the house at the price required by the fake shota. He had no idea where he could get such a huge sum of money in such a short period of time.
However, Kenneth's next sentence was like a bucket of cold water that drenched him from head to toe. "But this small house is currently under your father's name. If there's no written document to prove that he really left this house to you, then you have no right to dispose of it before his death."
"Are you kidding me? Isn't it better to use his house to pay off the mess that the old man made? "The future Supreme Magister Your Honor was a little anxious.
"You're right, but according to this letter, his debt with The Brave Friend has been transferred to you, and this house still belongs to him, so …" The Guard Captain's face was filled with helplessness.
In fact, it was not only in Ryan or Adele Duchy. Almost the entire human world had similar laws. Parents could unilaterally decide to transfer the debt to their sons and daughters, and children could not directly distribute the property that belonged to their parents without permission.
Old Ricks did not purposely set up a trap for his son. He judged from the gold coins that the boy sent over every year that Rob still had the ability to repay the debt that he owed. Moreover, magicians were all rich people. Even the cheapest wand in their hands was worth more than 50 gold coins. It was impossible for him to have to use his body to repay the debt.
Old Ricks knew that Rob hated his bad habit of gambling because of his mother's accidental death. That was why he hurriedly packed his belongings and ran away. However, he did not expect Rob to also sneak out of the academy. In order to escape from Vice Principal Demain's pursuit, the young man did not even dare to bring the magic wand that was known as the second life of a magician, let alone money.
Moreover, Rob did not dare to show his skills in front of outsiders. He was afraid that he would attract the attention of Demain or the assassins of other races. A dignified sixth-grade magister was forced into a corner by 24 gold coins and could only pay with his body. This was a tragedy that could be ranked among the top in the history of magic.
"Do you have any other assets?" The fake shota looked at a certain someone with eyes full of expectation.
"As long … as long as you give me a month, oh no, half a month's time, I can definitely return the money to you." Rob was just short of pointing at his ancestor's grave and swearing venomously.
"Oh? How do you plan to get such a large amount of money in such a short period of time? "The fake shota asked with a blank expression.
"This, uh … I can't tell you the details of the process."
If the sixth-grade magister was really forced into a corner, it was possible for him to simply find a piece of black cloth to cover his face and ransack the garrison. With Rob's strength, if he really wanted to do so, even a hundred Guard Captains would not be able to stop him.
"You're just bragging." The fake shota obviously did not believe someone's words. "In the end, you just want to run away secretly like your old man."
Looking at Rob's speechless expression, the fake shota was very proud of his intelligence and alertness.
The youth found himself in an awkward situation where he could neither advance nor retreat. It was naturally impossible for the magister who was hailed as the hope of the human race to be a slave who had completely lost his dignity and personality. However, the youth was obviously not willing to give up the freedom that was so close to him and obediently return to the Royal College of Magic and Magic to go to jail.
He had clearly escaped from the old fox Demain's grasp, but because of a small accident, all his previous efforts were in vain. The youth could still hear the Grand Magister's hearty laughter from tens of thousands of miles away.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Guard Captain spoke again. "Everyone calm down first …" He looked at The Brave at the side. "I still haven't asked for your name?"
"Lolo."
"Eh, your name is very special." The knight casually sighed and immediately said with a straight face, "Your Honor, Lolo. I'm basically clear about the matter between you and Rob. Now I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
"Hmm?" The fake shota's eyes widened.
"Indeed, according to Ryan's laws, you can force him to become your slave, but I don't think that's your intention. Moreover, if you do that, you won't be able to get back the gold coins that Uncle Rex owes you. Twenty-four gold coins is not a small amount of money. Even if you use it to buy slaves, you can choose at least thirty to forty strong men. If you do that, your loss will undoubtedly be great."
"There's no other way. He can't afford it now."
"Hmm, I didn't lie to you about the money. Rob isn't completely helpless. As long as he sells this small building, not only will he be able to pay off the debt he owes you, he will also have more than enough. However, the biggest problem now is that Uncle Rex isn't here, so I suggest that you stay calm and wait patiently for a while …"
Lolo shook her head. "I won't stay in Ryan for too long. At the latest, I'll be leaving for Gudilesi University City in two months."
"What are you going to do there?"
"I'm going to become a mage!" The fake shota said proudly with his chest puffed out. The expression on his little face was unprecedentedly determined. However, his expression soon became gloomy again. "But I don't have my tuition anymore."
"You're going to St. Roland's Academy of Magic?" Rob raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. St. Roland's Academy of Magic, which was located in Gudilesi University City, was the oldest Academy of Magic in the human world. It was said that Roland built it single-handedly, and the first batch of human magic elites came from here. They shone in the first magic war, and many of their names became legends. However, compared to the other few academies, St. Roland's admission standards were too strict, and it had begun to decline in recent centuries. Now, it was even surpassed by the Royal College of Magic and Magic, and it was forced to give up the title of the top Academy of Magic.
Of course, the appearance of a monster like Rob was also a very important reason.
However, even so, St. Roland's Academy of Magic was still one of the top Academy of Magic in the human world. It was known as the gathering place of geniuses, and the average level of the students in the academy was even higher than that of the Royal College of Magic and Magic. The current principal, Abus, was a ninth-grade Supreme Magus who was as famous as Steins.
In short, those who could go to St. Roland's Academy of Magic were not ordinary people.
Rob did not expect to meet such a high-end talent in the faraway Ryan. The girl's dress was no different from the rookie Brave who came from other places to make a fortune. Was it true that one should not judge a book by its cover?
"No, I'm going to St. Roland's Brothers' Academy of Magic."
"Huh? What the hell is that? " Rob was considered a big shot among the magicians. He had heard of any slightly famous Academy of Magic, but he had never heard of this St. Roland's Brothers' Academy of Magic.
"You wouldn't know it even if I told you, but St. Roland's Brothers' Academy of Magic and the famous St. Roland's Academy of Magic have a close relationship. They are their sibling academies."
"Uh, that's what it means literally, but I've never heard of St. Roland's Academy of Magic having a sibling academy. Those guys from St. Roland's Academy are all very arrogant. I don't think they would make such a marriage with an unknown Academy of Magic," Rob kindly reminded.
In the end, Lolo waved her hand and said impatiently, "Don't meddle in the affairs of us magicians. You're just a commoner."
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, almost choked on her words. The young man snapped, "You don't have any money anyway. You can't go anywhere."
