Chapter 168 Matters
"so boring"
Annan graduated from school today.
Sitting on the school bus going home, he looked down at the diploma in his hand, without any fluctuation in his heart.
It's not his first time graduating, so there's nothing to be excited about.
Due to the previous transaction he had made with the principal of the school, he was only a sophomore in high school, so he skipped a grade and received a diploma, becoming a veritable graduate who could not find any mistakes.
Of course, it was impossible for Annan to stand on the podium and receive graduation blessings from others. He received the graduation certificate from the principal in private.
After all, this graduation method is the result of some loopholes exploited by the principal, so it cannot be too blatant.
Annan didn't care whether he went through a complete graduation ceremony, which would be easier for him. Anyway, he never cared about the so-called high school diploma from beginning to end.
"It's been pretty steady lately. Although that's a good thing, it's really boring."
After Annan returned home, he found that he had nothing to do.
Probably just wait until the evening, go out for a meal with two relatives, and celebrate graduation properly. Although the main celebration is actually about enrolling in the magic academy after the summer vacation.
Uncle Annan is not at home now. Uncle Mark had already prepared to move before the summer vacation, and now he is in the middle of his busy schedule.
In a few days, they will move out of this somewhat old neighborhood, leave the apartment building where they have lived for a long time, and go to a new residence.
Mark will move into a residential area with better security, while Annan will move directly into a rental cabin near the magic school.
On the surface, Annan will live in this place where magic professor Dulan came to find him before graduating from magic school. This is the only address that his relatives know.
As for privately, Annan will use a property he previously acquired from Roderick as his main residence.
Anyway, the distance between the two residences is not too far. It takes about half an hour to communicate with each other by car, which will not cause any inconvenience.
Annan plans to take advantage of the summer vacation to get the driver's license for motorcycles and general vehicles, and then buy two transportation tools to facilitate future mobility.
However, even if there are plans for the future, it will not change the boring feeling of being a little unmotivated now.
"The White Knight's investigation has been completed, but they have not left yet. Their presence will naturally suppress the actions of some black magicians. If there are really other users of black magic in this city."
Annan didn't think about getting into trouble. He just wanted to live a peaceful life. But the sudden silence would still make people feel bored.
If this world had a computer full of games, Annan probably wouldn't be so bored. Unfortunately, his computer didn't travel with him. The development of technology in this world is also relatively slow. I don't know how long it will take to advance to the level of the previous life. situation.
"There hasn't been much progress in the practice of magic."
Annan would go to the magic professor to study every few days. His magic knowledge and theories were considered to be at the level that an ordinary magic apprentice should have. However, in fact, the magic he knew - normal magic - was half the level of magic that ordinary magic apprentices should have. No.
He was not discouraged because he found that his magic talent was very low. According to the magic professor, his magic talent was very average and medium. As long as he continued to practice hard, he would one day be able to learn magic.
But compared to black magic, which requires no effort at all and can be learned immediately without any pain at most, normal magic is obviously many times more difficult to learn.
"But then again, even if I wander around recently, I can't find anything where I can hear the sound of black magic."
The more Annan thought about it, the more he felt that it might be because of the relationship that he had just traveled through earlier, so he could often come into contact with things that could hear the sounds of black magic.
But as time goes by, this luck, or to a certain extent, the necessity, gradually weakens. I am afraid it will take him a long time to find a new one who can hear the sound of black magic. s things.
"What the hell is this? Is this a benefit for the novice period?"
It was probably just luck that Annan didn't continue to think wildly.
He was certain that his Whisperer ability had not disappeared or weakened. He just simply couldn't touch anything that could hear the sound of black magic.
"I guess even if I go to a place that sells second-hand or antiques, I may not be able to find what I want. How about looking at things on the black market? Or maybe looking for someone with a bronze door? I mean, there doesn't seem to be a bronze door in this city. branch."
The so-called Bronze Gate is a quite famous underground organization.
The nature of this organization is not a simple gang, nor is it an underground organization that cannot see the light in the general sense.
This is an organization related to black magic that is too special and special for even the White Knight to deal with.
"The Bronze Gate, if I describe it in terms of the feeling from my previous life, is it like an adventurer's guild? Although it is a specialized super-dangerous adventure guild in the other world."
Annan had learned about the existence of the underground organization Bronze Gate a long time ago from the magic professor.
The Bronze Gate is a world-class underground organization. Whether in the magic world or in the general field, there will be people who have heard of its name.
The composition of this not-so-secret underground organization is very mysterious, and it can also be said to be very complex. This organization is spread all over the country, but the connections between their departments are not too close, but they still cooperate with each other.
The Bronze Gate is more like a nominal joint group than a huge united organization.
But even so, the core affairs of Bronze Gate will not change.
"Exploring the other world, this was the purpose of the Bronze Gate when it was first established. This ambitious goal has not changed until now. It is purely because the nature and background of their organization have become more and more complex."
There are more secrets about the Bronze Gate. It cannot be said that the magic professor who has been deeply involved in the underground world is not completely clear.
Because, according to some gossip that Duran heard, it showed that the Exploration Guild in this other world was probably quite involved with official organizations around the world, which made him unwilling to have too much contact with this organization. touch.
Sometimes the White Knights will fight with the Bronze Gate in certain areas, but that doesn't mean there is no official behind the Bronze Gate.
In short, it is an underground organization with complex composition, complex formation, and very complex existence model.
"The Bronze Gate sometimes sells or auctions things or relics found in the other world. Maybe there are things useful to me that can hear the sound of black magic in those things."
Annan wrote down on the notepad in his mind that he would contact the Bronze Gate organization if he had the opportunity.
"As for now, when uncle and Catherine arrive, let's go out to have a good meal."
