Half a month passed by quickly.
On a certain morning, a group of carriages slowly walked out from the road. A building gradually appeared in front of them.
In front of the building, a middle-aged man wearing a light red robe was standing there, looking like he was waiting for something.
When they approached and saw the middle-aged man, Amalo and Seacum hurriedly got off the carriage and led the few acolytes forward.
"Lord Arathes!"
They looked respectfully at the middle-aged man in the red robe, their eyes filled with awe.
"Mm, you're back." The middle-aged man named Arathes nodded calmly and looked behind them. He frowned and said, "Why are there so few people this time?"
"This …" Hearing this, Amalo and Seacum immediately became nervous. Just as they were about to explain, they were interrupted by the man in the red robe.
"Forget it, I'm only here to welcome you. I'm not in charge of these things."
Arathes shook his head and looked at the acolytes behind them. "Welcome to Uralto College. I hope you'll have a pleasant experience here in the next few years.
As for now, follow me. "
After saying this, he turned and walked along the small path behind him.
"Follow him, we're not in charge anymore."
Looking at the acolytes behind him, Amalo shook his head and said.
Seeing this, the apprentices looked at each other before closely following the red-robed man's footsteps and quickly moving forward.
Among the acolytes, Adil followed in Silence, observing the surroundings from time to time.
Through the observation of the A.I. Chip in his mind, there was a large amount of high-energy radiation in this area. It was different from other places. It was obvious that Magi often moved around here.
For some unknown reason, the weeds in the surroundings seemed to have died, leaving only the dark land. It looked desolate and dead.
On the vast land, apart from a stretch of buildings, there were only the figures of these few acolytes.
They walked for a long time.
After two hours, as the number of buildings increased, a large stone door appeared in front of them. It seemed to be a door.
Beside the stone door was a large number of statues, each of which was at least three to four meters tall. They looked like lifelike stone monsters.
Arriving here, the high energy radiation in the surroundings intensified, causing the A.I. Chip in his mind to beep with prompts.
Feeling this, Adil's gaze was fixed on the stone statues. His right hand, which was originally hanging down, had unknowingly moved to the longsword on his waist. His eyes revealed a hint of solemnity.
His physique as a peak grand knight not only gave him great power, but also extremely sharp senses.
At this moment, standing in front of those huge stone statues, he felt a terrifying pressure on his chest, causing him to faintly feel a sense of danger from those stone statues.
"These statues look just like the real thing," another acolyte said in awe.
"Hehe, if I hadn't brought you here, these statues would be real to you."
In front of him, the red-robed man revealed a cold smile, as if hinting at something.
After saying this, he did not explain anything else. He took out a round stone bead from his waist and slowly placed it into the depression on the door.
Under Adil's gaze, as the round stone bead was placed into the depression, the originally tall door began to change.
A weak light began to appear. Under the gaze of all the acolytes, an old man's face slowly appeared on the stone door. As if it was alive, its lips kept moving.
The eyes of the huge face were black, like two black holes. At this moment, it was fixed in front of it, "Traveler, state your command …"
Arathes stood where he was and muttered in a low voice. It seemed to have some kind of special power.
As he moved, the huge face in front of him gradually disappeared and turned back into the original appearance of the stone door. It began to slowly open.
"Let's go."
Looking at the gradually opening door, Arathes said to the people behind him and then took the lead to walk forward.
After all the acolytes had walked through the door, the original stone door slowly closed and returned to its original appearance.
"Arathes, you've come?"
After walking for an unknown amount of time, an old voice could be heard in front of a building.
Adil looked forward and saw an old man in a black robe sitting in front of a building in Silence. A pair of turbid and empty eyes looked in their direction in Silence. There was no emotion in his eyes.
"Lord Asila, these are the newcomers this time. Please register them."
Looking at this old man, Arathes revealed a rare stiff smile and said respectfully, "I still have a very important experiment to do. I won't take up any more of your time."
Seeing the old man in front of him nod, Arathes walked into the distance without any intention of staying.
"Alright, report your information. After paying the tuition fees, someone will bring you to your accommodation."
The old man's wrinkled face revealed a smile as he spoke to the many acolytes in front of him.
For some reason, even though he was clearly smiling, he gave off an extremely cold and sinister feeling, as well as a sense of danger.
"High-energy radiation source detected."
At this moment, the A.I. Chip's mechanical voice sounded in his mind, causing Adil to be shocked.
This type of high-energy radiation was not foreign to Adil. It was emitted by acolytes or items related to Magi.
However, according to the A.I. Chip's detection, this old man's radiation source was the strongest he had ever seen. It was much stronger than the level 3 acolytes from before.
"Is this an official Magus?"
In that instant, this thought flashed through Adil's mind, and he could not help but be more cautious.
According to a book that Adil had read about Magi before, over a long period of time, the powerful ancient Magi had made a detailed division of Magi ranks. Every rank had a detailed standard.
Among them, official Magi were a very big threshold. Before official Magi, there were also three levels.
Adil had already seen a few level 3 acolytes who were the closest to official Magi. In his previous journey, whether it was the two grey-robed acolytes who had led the ship to this continent, or Amalo and Sismu, they all belonged to this level.
In front of him, the black-robed old man named Asila looked at the acolytes in front of him. As he registered them, he distributed some items to them.
"These are your Magus robes and badges. Remember not to lose them."
After distributing these items, a few servants walked over in Silence and led the acolytes to their dormitories.
"Alright, last one." The familiar hoarse voice sounded again.
In front of him, Asila looked at Adil, "I feel a familiar energy wave. You have a magic artifact on you that has something to do with our academy."
Hearing this, Adil was shocked, and his face revealed a shocked expression.
Seeing him like this, Asila shook his head and casually explained, "The magic artifact on you is already half-damaged. The power inside is dissipating, and that unique energy wave is exposed."
Hearing this, Adil did not hesitate. He directly took out the black amulet from his pocket and placed it on the wooden table in front of him.
"Eh?"
The moment he saw the black amulet, Asila's expression changed slightly. He picked up the amulet and looked at it carefully. "The double-headed eagle symbol and this unique spiritual encryption. It is indeed something from our academy."
He looked at the black amulet a few times. After a while, he raised his head and said to Adil, "From the craftsmanship of this magic artifact, it has at least 200 years of history."
"According to the rules of our academy, you can enter the academy through special enrollment and directly study under the Magus who made this magic artifact."
Saying this, his tone changed. "However, there is a small problem."
"What?" Adil was stunned.
Under his gaze, Asila pondered for a while before speaking again. "If I'm not wrong, this magic artifact should have come from a Magus in our academy more than 200 years ago. This Magus had already passed away more than 30 years ago in an accident during an experiment. "
"So, you now have two choices."
"May I ask what the two choices are?" Standing still, Adil calmed himself down and asked.
"The first choice is to randomly choose a Magus. This is free of charge."
Standing in front of Adil, Asila continued, "As for the second choice, I'll help you choose one. This is for a fee."
"I choose the second one," Adil said without hesitation as soon as he finished speaking.
As for the first choice, he did not even consider it.
Regarding the Magus World, Adil had already learned a little from books and the surrounding apprentices during his journey.
Magi were undoubtedly powerful. They could summon the wind and rain, control lightning and fire, and do many things that mortals could not. But at the same time, Magi were also extremely dangerous and terrifying.
As a Magus' apprentice, if they were unlucky, they would be in great danger. Who knew when a Magus' dangerous experiment could easily take away an apprentice's life.
If they were assigned to a Magus who had a bad temper or liked to do dangerous experiments, they might not even know how they died.
"A very wise choice."
Asila smiled. "As the price for this choice, you need to pay five magic stones."
Hearing this, Adil's mouth twitched.
The so-called magic stones referred to a type of black crystal ore. Because of its wide range of uses, it could stimulate the growth of Magi's spiritual force, and it could also be used as a variety of commonly needed materials. It was used as a Magus' currency and was very precious.
Before leaving, Duke Ariel had given some things to Adil. Among them were some magic stones.
This was not just the support of Duke Ariel's family, but the entire Farcus Family. However, there were only a few dozen magic stones in total, and now he was going to use up almost half of it.
