"Junior students?"
Richard looked at the black-robed wizard and his heart was filled with shock.
Is this wizard also an apprentice like them?
But before he could think about it, a hole appeared at the bottom of the airship.
The black-robed wizard led them inside, and as soon as they landed, Richard heard a deep female voice.
"Seven apprentices! You're lucky, Taylor."
Richard looked closely and saw a fierce woman who was two meters tall and as strong as a bear standing in the cabin. She was holding a nearly two-meter-long door panel sword in her hand. The sword was engraved with dense symbols, which looked very fantastic.
Next to her, Richard saw a black-robed skeleton with blue flames coming out of its eye sockets. When the skeleton saw them all enter, it waved its hand and the hole at the bottom of the cabin closed automatically.
"Seven apprentices, you all have to treat me to a meal when you return this time. You can't afford less than 100 magic stones."
The black-robed wizard changed his ferocious attitude towards the nobles on the ground and joked with the wizards in the cabin in a very happy tone.
"Fuck you, fifty magic stones, come if you want."
The skeleton wizard came to the apprentices with a crystal ball and began to count their names and mental powers.
After the statistics were completed, the skeleton wizard took out one bag after another from under his black robe as if performing magic. Each bag contained a feather pen, a bottle of ink, a roll of white paper, a number plate and three books.
There was no explanation, no dialogue, and the skeleton wizard acted completely differently from the other two wizards who were chatting.
He seemed to have abandoned all human emotions, embracing calmness and rationality both physically and mentally.
"These are your admission textbooks, which record the introductory courses and admission rules of the wizarding academy. That number plate is your room number. During the flight of the airship, there is no need to leave the room."
Seeing that the Skeleton Wizard didn't say a word, Wizard Taylor who led them up had to explain to them.
"Now hurry up and find your own rooms. You can have some fun while the airship is in flight, but don't let anyone get killed."
…
The cabin of the airship has only one aisle, with neatly arranged rooms on both sides, and each room is for four people.
Richard counted and figured that if the airship had fifty rooms and was fully loaded, it should be able to carry at least two hundred passengers.
Fifty rooms, two hundred people.
"The fantasy world is indeed fantastic. Even an airship can be so amazing."
Walking along the corridor to the end, Richard opened Room 225, which temporarily belonged to him.
"Hey, friend, I'm Ellie from Chanjinling."
As soon as he entered the door, Richard saw a girl greeting him.
The girl had long light blonde hair and light blue eyes, and although she had a few freckles on her face, they only added to her youthfulness.
"Hmm? Is this room divided wrong?"
Richard was a little confused and turned around to go back and ask the skeleton wizard.
"My friend, don't ask. Someone has already asked, and Wizard Eisen said that there is no mistake."
Richard stopped and said, "Wizard Eisen? The wizard who looks like... a skeleton?"
Ellie nodded. "It was him. He said that the room numbers are completely random and that you shouldn't ask him to change them. In the past few days, many people have asked him to change rooms, and he was so annoyed that he almost threw the apprentices who asked to change rooms away."
Hearing this, Richard pinched his brows with a headache.
This is a bit troublesome. There are always many inconveniences when living with a woman.
But since the wizard had already said that the rooms could not be changed, he had no choice but to obey.
"Okay." Richard sighed, "Hello Ellie. I'm Richard from the Hesse Territory."
…
In fact, Ellie lied.
The rooms on the airship can actually be changed, but the method of changing rooms is a bit rough.
As long as you can get someone to agree to switch rooms without causing any loss of life, the admissions wizard will not interfere with your behavior.
In the few days since Ellie entered the airship, several violent conflicts have occurred one after another.
And these violent conflicts are often accompanied by one thing...
That's rape.
Wizards do not stop these crimes, as they see them as minor incidents. One wizard who looks very much like an ape even watches them with great interest.
This further encouraged the evil thoughts of some people in the airship.
Fortunately, the airship is flying at high speeds most of the time, and no one can leave the room during this time.
This allowed Ellie to hide from the beasts in the corner room.
But Richard's arrival brought danger to her.
If those beasts knew that there was a delicious prey hiding in the corner of the airship, the next time the airship slowed down, it would be Ellie's day of suffering.
So she had to stop Richard from changing rooms.
And Richard is good-looking, handsome, and weak.
Years of malnutrition made Richard look extremely weak, and his thin body looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind even with clothes on.
Ellie was confident that she could resist Richard's invasion.
…
Back to the present, Richard entered the room and closed the door.
The room is not big, only about 11 or 12 square meters, and there is a small cubicle which should be the toilet.
The layout is also very simple, with two bunk beds, a two-meter-long table, two chairs and a magic lamp on the ceiling, which are all the decorations for the whole room.
There were only him and Ellie in the small room.
Young boys and girls, at the age of first falling in love, are locked in a small room.
The boy had delicate features and the girl was petite and cute. Their eyes met and then they immediately looked away.
It seems like this scene should be somewhat ambiguous... Bullshit.
Although Richard looks like a teenager, he is an adult at heart.
His type is a gentle and intellectual big sister!
"I sleep on the upper bunk bed. If you change clothes, let me know and I will avoid it."
Richard said this indifferently, turned around, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the upper bunk.
He has more important things to do right now than flirting with a girl.
Sitting on the upper bunk, Richard opened the three books in the bag one by one.
Richard couldn't understand any of these three books. For a farmer, being able to write his own name was considered knowledgeable.
However, Richard still judged that one of the thicker books was probably a dictionary.
[Raw materials: "Wizard Dictionary"]
[Information that can be extracted: Wizard text]
[Refining consumption: 10 mental power]
[Whether to refine]
Richard put the dictionary in his pocket and made a decision.
"refining."
In an instant, Richard felt as if his head was hit by a sledgehammer, and everything in front of his eyes went black.
After an unknown amount of time, Richard woke up from his sleep.
The room was pitch black at this time, and it seemed that it was already night.
"Hiss, don't be so reckless when refining next time."
Richard rubbed his head. Fortunately, he was on the airship this time, and the surroundings were very safe. If he were in other places, Richard would simply push himself into danger.
Entering the soul space, a ball of white light jumping up and down had been waiting on the Miracle Furnace for a long time.
Fusion of the white light, this time Richard did not have the illusion when he merged the Wind Crow Sword Technique, he just felt as if he remembered a lot of things.
Richard tried it and found that he had indeed learned wizarding language, but this learning was more like memorizing a dictionary.
If Richard were asked to read wizarding texts, he would have the same problem as a beginner, with inaccurate intonation.
"It seems that there is a big difference between 'skill' and 'information'. Absorbing information is more like instilling knowledge directly into the brain, and the areas that require practical application still require more practice. On the other hand, skills can be put into practice without any problems, but it is difficult to summarize the skills into words."
Gurgle!
The huge feeling of hunger woke Richard from his thoughts.
He hadn't eaten for nearly two days.
"Ellie, Ellie." Richard called softly.
"Hmm? You're awake."
In the darkness, Ellie's voice came from the lower bunk, and it sounded like she wasn't asleep yet.
"Ellie, what time is it?"
"Four thirty-two in the morning."
Hearing the time, Richard roughly estimated how long he had been asleep.
He was unconscious for about fourteen hours.
"Has anyone delivered food in the meantime?"
"Your meal is on the table, come down and eat if you want."
Richard could sense that something was wrong with Ellie. Although he and Ellie had just met, most people would not be so awake at four in the morning.
"Did you stay up all night?" Richard asked softly.
"Um."
"Homesick?"
"A little."
She seems to be a girl who has rarely traveled far.
Gurgle!
Richard wanted to comfort her, but the loud rumbling of his stomach made him decide to eat first.
He got out of bed and saw his dinner on the table in the room.
Two palm-sized pieces of black bread, a piece of slightly burnt beef, and a bowl of beetroot porridge.
Although these meals were not as good as the Chinese food Richard remembered, they were far better than the sawdust black bread he had eaten in Hesse.
"Huh, I finally feel better."
After eating, Richard sat in the chair and let out a sigh.
Although this meal did not fill him up, it at least filled his stomach.
"Richard, are you a knight?"
Ellie lay on the bed, looking sideways at Richard.
Richard could feel that there seemed to be something wrong with her voice. Ellie seemed to be... crying?
"I'm not, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Then we're done."
Richard frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Richard." Ellie's voice was choked with sobs, "Do you know what our entrance exam is in the admission handbook?"
"What is it?"
"It's murder!"
