Chapter 155 Prosthetic Eye
Dr. Galanduil took off his blindfold and examined the blinded right eye with sympathy and anger.
"The entire eyeball was gouged out by a sharp knife. That guy named Soul Stealer is really a cruel bastard!"
Joan bit her lip and said nothing, her heart full of guilt, as if Dr. Galandil just scolded himself.
Javier also came over to observe Joan's right eye, and asked Kelanduil softly, "Can it be cured?"
The doctor shook his head helplessly: "Unless a high-level priest is asked to perform the 'Regeneration Technique'... Unfortunately, there is no priest in this city who is capable of performing this divine technique."
"Then how about installing a prosthetic eye for Joe first? It just so happens that I have a very beautiful prosthetic eye in my store. Although it can't see things, at least it doesn't look abnormal on the outside. This is very helpful for Qiao An to communicate with people at school. Help, at least to avoid attracting strange eyes from classmates and teachers." Javier said.
Joan actually didn't want to put a fake eye in his eye socket, but as Mr. Havel said - the "one-eyed dragon" looked too fierce, making people suspect that he had been a pirate, and he couldn't enter the rich area to serve those rich people. How can noble lords and manor owners make a lot of money by serving them?
Joan recalled that when he first entered the city last night, he had been chased by a policeman along the street. The root cause was that his blindfold was too conspicuous, which made the policeman suspect that he had a criminal record. Even if he doesn't mind his own image, it is necessary to install a prosthetic eye to avoid troublesome considerations.
After making a decision, Joan asked Javier about the price of the prosthetic eye. Javier smiled and waved his hands, urging him not to worry about these trivial matters.
"It's just a false eye, it's not worth a few pennies, just treat it as a gift from me as a meeting gift."
Joan was embarrassed to accept his gift. Dr. Galandil helped him out at the right time, saying that he paid the bill for him, which was a celebration of his admission to Leiden College. As Joan's pharmacy teacher, it is more legitimate for him to pay the money than Javier.
Javier excitedly fetched the prosthetic eye, as he said it could be called a real one, what's even more rare is that this eyeball is made of a special kind of gum, which is soft and elastic, and the touch is indistinguishable from the real eyeball , embedded in the eye frame with little discomfort.
Dr. Kelandil washed his hands with spirits, put on thin deerskin gloves, and helped Joan carefully clean up the blood and scars around his right eye, and gently fitted him with a prosthetic eye.
This minor operation went smoothly, and within half an hour Joan saw a healthy self in the mirror. What surprised him even more was that the right eye could turn as he wished, and it was almost indistinguishable from a real eyeball except that it could not see anything.
Galanduil told him to pay attention to cleaning the prosthetic eye on time. It is especially convenient for a mage to do this, without having to remove the prosthetic eye, and just release a "magic trick" on himself to get it done.
The blindfold was sewn by Kandy himself. Even though it is no longer needed, Joan is reluctant to throw it away, carefully folded it and put it in a storage bag.
After Joan's eye surgery was completed, it was already evening.
Javier invites Joan and Galandil to have dinner at his home. The chef cooked a famous home-cooked dish in Port Leiden - the crispy "garlic cheese bun" paired with the soft and fragrant "tomato stewed beef brisket". It was so delicious that Joan felt that every bite was wrapped in pure Happiness!
After dinner, the servant removed the plate and served coffee and dessert. The three of them sat around the table and continued to chat while drinking coffee.
Leiden College, to be precise, is a comprehensive public college funded by the City Council of Leiden Port. The training courses for extraordinary professions such as poets, poets, and pastors are known for their high entrance examination thresholds and expensive tuition fees. Among all the above-mentioned majors, the one with the most expensive tuition fees and the most arduous studies is precisely the mage major that Joan chose.
"The freshmen of Leiden College's mage major can only perform one or two tricks when they first enter the school. When it comes to the promotion exam in the first year, they must be proficient in casting at least one level 1 spell and obtain the official mage qualification certification; in the second year Master at least 4 1st-level spells proficiently at the end of the school year, and obtain a level 2 wizard certification; master at least 1 2-level spell at the end of the third academic year, and obtain a 3rd-level wizard certification; master at least 4 2-level spells in the fourth school year, Obtain level 4 mage qualification certification; master at least one third-level spell in the fifth school year, in addition to obtain level 5 mage qualification certification, and obtain a graduation certificate jointly signed by the tutor and the principal... If you meet all the above requirements, you will be considered successful finished school."
Mr. Havel stared at Joan, his expression became very serious.
"Joan, I'm not trying to scare you. The current headmaster of Leiden College, Mr. Alexander Jefferson, is known for his strict teaching. No matter what the background of the students, once they fail to pass the exams in the school year, they only have two choices: either drop out or repeat the grade. .If you choose the former, you will give up halfway and lose the opportunity to join the Austrian Law Association and obtain a business license. If you choose the latter, you will have to pay double the tuition for one year of repetition!"
Joan's head broke out in a cold sweat.
"Of course, where there are punishments, there are rewards. If you can achieve excellent grades during your studies, or even complete your studies ahead of schedule, the college also allows high-achieving students to choose to skip grades or graduate early, saving a lot of tuition expenses and getting a letter to go to Mi A letter of recommendation for further study at De Garde University as a commendation."
Joan breathed a sigh of relief, and his face turned from cloudy to sunny.
The college allows grade skipping, which is undoubtedly great news for him.
With his current spellcasting ability, there is no problem going directly to the third grade, which can save two years of tuition fees - a total of 6,000 Gold Durga!
Javier seemed to see through Joan's mind, and asked with a smile if he had signed a student loan contract.
"I signed it after I passed the entrance examination last winter, and I can get a student loan of 1,500 Gold Duga per academic year, which is equivalent to half of the tuition fee, which helped me relieve a lot of pressure." Qiao An answered truthfully.
Javier shook his head and smiled wryly: "Poor students like you from the countryside, nine out of ten have signed a student loan contract and become future employees of the colonial company. I admit that this contract is very helpful for you to complete your studies, but don't you Think of this as a kind of charitable funding, in fact, the Wilnoa Colonial Company that provided your tuition fees not only did not suffer a loss, but also made a lot of money by taking advantage of the innocent thoughts of you poor children in the countryside."
Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and asked with some anxiety: "You mean to serve the company for five years according to the contract after graduation? This is not considered a disadvantage, right?"
