Chapter 62 Transaction
This large flying disc has a fixed route, and it will automatically dodge obstacles on the way, so Pani does not need to operate it personally.
"How does it feel?"
Glancing at the surrounding scenery that kept flying backwards, Pani turned around and looked at Avis with a little pride as a member of Pamir.
But what surprised him was that the freshman was very indifferent to all this. He did not instinctively change his posture like most freshmen, and did not even show a trace of surprise.
Did I make a mistake? This freshman is not from an ordinary background?
Pani thought suspiciously, and suppressed the idea of showing off to Avis the stabilizing force field of the flying disc.
"It feels good, but, Mr. Guide, can you please give me a brief introduction to what I need to pay attention to in the academy?"
Avis smiled and casually asked a common question for freshmen.
"Oh! Of course! But you don't have to call me Your Excellency. My name is Pani, just call me by my name!"
Coming back to his senses, Pani said quickly, with a warm smile on his face.
"Okay, Senior Pani. I'm Avis."
Avis nodded gently and also said his name.
"Avis, huh? I'll remember that."
Pani also nodded.
"The rules of the academy are very loose. Apart from prohibiting malicious harm to other students and requiring students to pass the final exam and obtain a graduation certificate within ten years, there are no other special regulations."
"However, Pamir has an independent credit system, and many things need to be exchanged for credits. For example, the graduation certificate of our mysterious school requires 5,000 credits."
Speaking of this, Pani looked at Avis and hesitated for a moment.
"Also, I actually want to make a deal with you."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Avis looked at Pani with interest,
"It's like this, as a freshman in the first year, you have the privilege of exchanging gold coins for credits. The exchange rate is ten gold coins for one credit, and the upper limit is one hundred credits."
"And I can buy your credits at a price of thirty to one. If you don't have enough gold coins, I can pay the gold coins first, and then transfer them to me after you have exchanged the credits."
Speaking of this, Pani paused and tightened his hand holding the staff.
"Of course, since you are a freshman, I can tell you the interests involved first.
In addition to exchanging graduation certificates, credits can also be exchanged for many rare items and knowledge that are hard to find in the outside world.
I am not cheating you. Thirty gold coins to one credit is the market price here.
Even if you don't want to trade credits now, you can exchange gold coins at the same ratio in the college's trading market in the future."
"However, if you plan to sell credits, I still hope you can come to me to trade."
After saying all the words in one breath, Pani seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and relaxed.
As a freshman who has just been enrolled for more than a year, he is not used to this kind of thing.
"So that's it."
Anweisi nodded, then he looked into Pani's brown eyes and spoke with some confusion and curiosity.
"But, Pani, why do you have to explain so much? If you don't explain, maybe I will agree to trade with you now-"
Hearing this question, Pani was stunned, and then seemed to think of something and couldn't help laughing.
"Sorry, actually, when I entered school, after the senior who introduced me explained this to me, I also asked a similar question."
As he spoke, Pani gradually stopped smiling and showed a serious expression.
"The senior's answer to me was this:
'In Pamir, it is not a smart thing to offend others for a mere 100 credits. Because the price you will pay for it in the future is likely to be far more than this number.'"
Avis was slightly startled, and then nodded gently.
"I see."
He agreed with Pani's words.
"For reference, I can tell you my choice back then."
Not realizing what he had just avoided, Pani continued to share his experience back then.
"Back then, after thinking about it, I chose to trade half of it with that senior, which is 50 credits."
"Of course, your choice is up to you..."
Before he finished speaking, the high-speed floating disc suddenly stopped, and the altitude gradually decreased, landing on a floating disc landing point that was the same as the aerial dock.
Pani stopped talking, smiled and raised his head, gesturing forward.
"We're here, Pamir Academy of Mysteries and Relics!"
Avis looked up and saw the towering gray-white stone tower reaching into the sky.
In the circular square in front of the main entrance of the tower, the ancient fountain gushed clear magical water, and a lifelike stone sculpture of Emperor Gloria stood in the center of the fountain.
The emperor held the famous sword of the king in his hand, stepped on a crystal dragon, wore a crown surrounded by stars, and looked into the distance with an awe-inspiring and inviolable look.
The most famous motto of the mystery school was engraved on the mossy base of the stone sculpture.
"May the mystery disappear, may the mystery last forever--"
Avis stared at the inscription on the base in silence, as if he could still feel the complex emotions in the heart of [Secret Keeper] Okar when he said this.
"Gu--what do you mean, gu?"
At this time, the pigeon squatting on his head cooed.
"That's it..."
Avis was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something.
"Wait, I didn't say it out loud just now?"
"Gu?"
The pigeon turned his head to look at Avis, looking a little confused.
"I'm not communicating with you through sound waves Gu - you don't 'hear' me talking, but you sense me talking Gu!"
"You didn't notice this Gu?"
"What's wrong, Avis?"
Seemingly noticing that Avis was stunned for a moment, Pani looked at him strangely.
"Oh! Nothing, I was just looking at the inscription on the base of the statue."
Avis turned his head inconspicuously and gestured in the direction of the statue.
"The ancient Manni inscription?"
Pani nodded in understanding.
"That is the most famous motto of the Mystic School, from His Majesty Okar, the [Secret Keeper]. To be honest, I can only understand the first half of it."
"The disappearance of mystery is the ultimate goal of our Mystic School. That is to transfer all the spells classified in the Mystic School to the classification of other schools."
"As for the second half, I dare not speak carelessly. I am afraid that only by reaching the level of His Majesty the [Secret Keeper] can one truly understand its profound meaning."
"So that's it——"
Anvis smiled appropriately, tapped his right hand three times in front of his chest, and saluted calmly and solemnly in the direction of the statue.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Pani, Anvis briefly understood the internal structure of the Academy of Mysteries and Relics. And received his identity card in the mission hall of the academy.
The Pamir identity card is a very convenient thing, it has many functions. For example, contacting others, receiving credits, activating academy facilities, etc.
But relatively speaking, if you lose it, it is also very troublesome and expensive to apply for a new one.
In the meantime, Anvis went to the exchange counter and exchanged 100 credits for 1,000 gold coins.
Under Pani's somewhat painful gaze, Anvis directly paid fifty credits and exchanged for the right to use an independent secondary residence for one year.
