An unexpected collision lets Arthur know that he has become one of the so-called "four weirdos".
Arthur discovered that this fat man named Moral turned out to be a talkative, and he couldn't stop talking about the "Four Weird People".
"The orc who can't be offended is called Huey. He is the illegitimate son of Prince Rex and a female orc. In the past few days, he has beaten up almost all the boys in Burundian who dared to talk about it."
Arthur couldn't help but stick out his tongue. He was indeed a ruthless person who couldn't be offended.
"The rose covered with thorns is called Gold. She is the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Rose. She has the face of an angel and the temper of a devil. All men who want to get close to her will be covered with thorns and bruises."
The illegitimate son of a prince and the daughter of a grand duke, Arthur couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Guano College is called a weird college. Is it any wonder that the children of these top wealthy nobles are so easy to manage?
"Who is that fool that everyone loves?" Arthur was more interested in the identity of the last person.
Regarding this question, Moral hesitated for a long time before he finally managed to say, "How can he describe it? In short, you will understand it after meeting him."
"Well, in a college, there is always a chance to meet. Thank you for telling me so much today." After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.
Looking at Arthur's back with the sword on his back, Moral rolled his eyes and hurriedly followed, "Wait, are you going out? I'll go with you."
"Didn't you just say there was something urgent?"
Moral chuckled, "Now that I think about it, I'm not so anxious. I have grown up in the Royal City since I was a child. There is no place I am not familiar with. I can be your guide wherever you want to go."
"I'll go to the blacksmith's shop to buy some shields and armor for target use."
Arthur did not hide this, because all magicians need targets to practice magic. People like Arthur who use shields as targets are at the lowest end. Rich magicians use magic dolls.
"I happen to know an arms store. If you need a large quantity, you can get a discount. Moreover, they also have a lot of enchanted equipment for sale. You can learn a lot even if you don't buy it." Moral said enthusiastically.
Arthur seemed to have no reason to refuse, and the "enchanted equipment" impressed Arthur immediately. The only enchanted equipment Arthur has come into contact with is his own Wind Boots and Kristi's rare long sword. Exposure to more enchanted equipment from other enchanters will definitely be of great benefit to his own enchantment.
The two of them talked while walking, and Moral did most of the talking. Arthur discovered that Moral was a mobile intelligence source. In just a few days, he had a clear understanding of the origins and family backgrounds of most of the freshmen, including whose family was related to whom. He even knew the temper and past of some professors in the college.
Arthur had never been exposed to these messy things when he was in the mercenary group. Compared with the grudges and intrigues between wealthy and noble families, the relationship between mercenaries was much simpler. It can be summed up in two sentences, one of which is "One "If you disagree, take action", and another sentence is "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years" after one party loses the battle.
Arthur looked at Moral with some curiosity, "Why are you so interested in these things?"
Moral said with a rather proud smile: "You don't understand this. The wealthy nobles of the Isaac Kingdom and even other surrounding kingdoms would go to great lengths to send their children to the Blood Lao Royal Academy, not just to get here. Learn magic and martial arts."
"If you don't go to college to study, then why?"
"I didn't expect you to be so simple. Of course, it's for the sake of connections! The classmates I met after entering this college are all rich and noble. After graduation, thinking about the friendship between classmates, they will naturally help each other."
Arthur still looked confused. In the orc camp and the mercenary group where the strong were respected, there was only admiration for the strong and training and fighting on the road to becoming strong. There was no concept of connections at all.
Seeing that Arthur still didn't understand, Moral continued to explain: "Take me as an example. My family is one of the three largest salt merchants in the royal city. The tuition of 3,000 gold coins is a small amount of money for our family. In order to obtain a letter of recommendation for admission, it is enough It cost my dad 30,000 gold coins. Running the kingdom's exclusive salt industry requires the protection of nobles from all over the country. More than half of the profits our family makes every year are used to manage and smooth relationships. From the lord of one party to the lowest-ranking guard captain, which one If you don't get it right, you may get into trouble."
"What does that have to do with your coming to the academy?"
Moral chuckled, his smile showing the shrewdness of a businessman, "My dad hopes that I can make more friends, so that it will be easier to manage the family business when it is passed to me in the future. Most importantly, my dad hopes that I can get a noble title for your family. The kingdom stipulates that no knighthood can be achieved without military merit, but as long as you successfully graduate from Guano Academy, the kingdom will grant the graduates a knighthood."
This was the first time Arthur had heard about the title. Keynes and Randall had not revealed any information about the academy to him before. He still can't understand why Keynes spent such a high price to send him to Guano Academy. You must know that the tuition fee of three thousand gold coins is almost one-third of the mercenary group's annual income. Moral's recommendation letter It cost 30,000 gold coins, and how much did my letter to Captain Keynes cost?
In the human kingdom ruled by aristocrats, the granting and inheritance of titles are slightly different in each kingdom. For example, the Kingdom of Isaac stipulates that the title can be hereditary but degraded from generation to generation. For example, among the four great dukes in the current kingdom, when the title is passed to one of their children, the title will be reduced to marquis, while the other children will not have titles. If other children want to obtain noble titles, they must go to the battlefield to exchange for military merit.

Arthur and Moral were walking and chatting, and soon came to a weapons store called "Twanging".
These weapons store not only has an excellent location facing the street, but is also quite large. It is an independent three-story building.
Moral was familiar with this weapons store. As soon as they entered the door, a clerk greeted them.
A clerk in a green robe and a small hat proactively asked with a smile, "Master Moral, you are here. What do you want to choose this time?"
"This friend of mine wants to choose some shields and armors to use as magic targets. You go and pick out some good ones and charge them all to my account."
Arthur quickly stopped Moral, "No, no, it's just for practice. Just want the cheapest first-level armor and shield. I'll pay for it myself." Then he told the clerk the required quantity.
Moral saw that Arthur insisted on paying the money and did not force him. He was just a little surprised when he heard the number of shields and armors that Arthur needed.
"The quantity you want is large. It will take some time for them to stock the goods from the warehouse. Let's go to the second floor to take a look at the enchanted equipment."
Twanging Weapons Shop sells high-quality ordinary weapons and equipment on the first floor, while rare-level and above equipment and enchanted equipment are all on the second floor.
Arthur followed Moral directly to the second floor.
Moral was stunned for a moment at the door of the second floor. Then he poked Arthur with his hand, pointed at a young man in white and said softly, "He is loved by everyone!"
