Chapter 22 One Fake and Three for Three
A few days later.
The annual freshman ceremony started on time again.
Aoun was wearing the simplest bachelor's uniform and walked forward among the crowds in the square. Although the former aristocratic dress was gorgeous, it never made him feel real happiness, as if it was just a price tag marking his body. Never pay attention to your inner soul.
But now!
Ornn finally felt truly alive.
The heart is filled with unprecedented content, the desire for the unknown, a new life journey, the infinite expectations for the next second, and new like-minded friends.
"I wonder if Lei Luo is here?"
Thinking of the partner he accidentally met a few days ago, Aoun couldn't help but look around. Unfortunately, there were too many people here and he didn't see the expected figure.
….
Full of desire for higher degrees, expectations for exploring higher knowledge, or for the sake of friendship, scholars from all over the world gather at Grant College of Nature.
Most of the people studying here are aristocrats from various places with good family backgrounds. They have elegant etiquette and knowledge inheritance, as well as enough gold coins. Aoun is just the most ordinary one among them.
Every family also hopes to shape a new interpersonal network for the future of the family through communication among children and generations!
Under the leadership of knowledgeable tutors, noble scholars learn and progress together, get to know each other, establish deep friendships, lay the foundation for the future power relations of the duchy, and even form family marriages, which are everywhere!
"This junior, I can tell from the first glance that you are an extraordinary person. You are an excellent scholar who studies the laws of nature. You will definitely make great achievements in the future! This etched ink stone only costs three gold coins. If you give it off, you will lose three. Are you interested?"
Aoun in the crowd was grabbed by a buck-toothed senior wearing glasses.
Aoun could feel the philistine atmosphere from her, which was shaped by the civilian life of worrying about life and caring about little interests all day long, just like the classmate named Lei Luo he met on the road.
Aoun looked at the strange senior sister who held him.
Away from the disputes over family interests, a new life journey, everything is so beautiful. A calm smile appeared on Aoun's face, and the buck-toothed senior who seemed to be selling etching ink mines to him also became elegant and beautiful.
Aoun said: "How do you know that I am a scholar who studies the laws of nature?"
The buck-toothed senior's eyes lit up, she pushed up her eyes on the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile, "Buy a piece of etching ink ore, and I'll tell you."
Three gold coins, although not a small amount, are nothing to Ornn's abundant reserve funds for the next three years.
"good."
After a moment's hesitation, Aoun took out three gold coins and handed them to the other party.
Etched Ink Ore, a relatively high-quality energy ore.
In crystal mines, there are often some high-energy crystals among a large number of ordinary energy crystals. Etched ink ore is one of them, and it is also a relatively common one. The price generally fluctuates around five gold coins. Research Scholars of natural laws often use consumable magic materials when channeling energy and etching energy runes.
"Hehe, here it is!"
However, the buck-toothed senior handed Orn four pieces of etching ink?
The buck-toothed senior said proudly: "The answer is, everyone I meet says this, and you happen to be just one of them, hehe!"
Well?
Aoun was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, pointed to the four crystal stones in his hand and said, "But senior sister, I only bought one etching ink mine."
The buck-toothed senior was even more proud. She raised her eyebrows and said, "If you fake it, you'll get three yuan for it. That's three yuan to accompany you. Don't say I lied to you. We all came according to the agreement!"
At this moment, Aoun was completely stunned, and then he shook his head and laughed, laughing at himself for his stupidity.
Aoun was naturally able to distinguish between real and fake etched ink deposits, but he never thought that such a thing would happen. When he was studying at home, all the materials were sent by servants. Although his tutor taught him to identify specimens, he never After handing over these life experiences, I was fooled around by this senior sister for a while.
"I was careless."
Ornn wasn't angry.
After careful identification, although these four crystals are not etched ink ore, they are also an energy ore called "purple plating". If the four pieces are added together, they are not much different from the value of three gold coins.
Seeing that Aoun was well-educated, the buck-toothed senior showed some interest.
"I thought you would be like the guy just now and want to have some academic exchanges with the senior sister! Hehe, the contradiction in the academy is that as long as the moral contract is not violated, the scholars will compete with each other through their own academics. You choose to fight with a scholar two years above you, hehe..."
Smiling happily, the buck-toothed senior said: "My name is Alia. Familiar scholars also like to call me Crystal Summoner. If you have any academic questions in the future, you can come to me."
Aoun's eyes lit up and he said, "My name is Aoun!"
After Alia left and blended into the crowd to find the next prey, Aoun played with the purple-plated ore in his hand and put it away in the space box.
It has just been the first official day of school, and I have experienced such an interesting experience. I believe that my career as a scholar in the next three years will not be boring.
"Ornn! Ornn!"
Suddenly, calls of his name came from the crowd.
Surprised, Aoun stood on tiptoes, looked around, and finally found the relatively thin figure in the crowd, waving and calling to him.
It was Lei Luo who had accompanied him all the way from the Shadow Forest a few days ago.
"Lei Luo!"
With a look of joy, Aoun hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and walked towards Lei Luo.
…
At the opening ceremony, Shaduoluo, as the college tutor, had no time to teach Lei Luo alone.
Lei Luo also took advantage of his free time to buy a simple and plain gray academic uniform. After dressing up, he went to the Academy Square to look for Ornn, who had been with him all the way.
"How have you been these days? Has the college arranged an enlightenment tutor for you?"
Aoun looked up and down Lei Luo, who was wearing a gray academic uniform, and praised: "This academic uniform suits you very well!"
Compared to Lei Luo's thin and pale face, Aoun's complexion was rosy and delicate. He looked down at the glass specimen box held by Lei Luo. There were several black tadpoles swimming in the water.
"Well, the college has arranged an enlightenment tutor for me, and I have decided to study the academic direction of evolution! This is a tadpole specimen I just passed by the lake and collected by the way. I will observe the evolution of tadpoles into frogs in the future. Learn to make specimens of frogs in different stages.”
An excited and satisfied smile appeared on Lei Luo's face.
During the learning process these days, Lei Luo praised the wonder and greatness of this world more than once!
Lei Luo had never thought that in this world that he seemed to be accustomed to, even the most ordinary things in his understanding were full of all kinds of wonderful knowledge in the eyes of scholars. Everything he had ever known was just the law of truth. It is just the appearance of this world, and I am so insignificant and insignificant.
"What about you? I haven't seen you in the past few days. Which class are you assigned to?"
Lei Luo asked.
"Class 4, Grade 1, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly in class!"
Aoun could feel Lei Luo's changes in the past few days.
When he was in the Demonic Forest before, Lei Luo's eyes were full of simplicity and confusion, but now, like himself, he was shocked by the mystery of the truth and laws of the world, and his desire for knowledge outweighed everything else!
Aoun continued: "I bought a house in Dool District. The learning atmosphere there is better, and it is also close to Scholar Street and teaching buildings. Where do you live?"
The two seemed to have been friends for many years and talked about everything.
Lei Luo shook his head and joked: "The rent of the college house is too expensive. I rented a house in the old southeast area. Although it is far away, I can exercise more by walking around every day. My father often warned me when he was alive. He needs to exercise more, and now he has fulfilled his will, hehe."
Looking at the cheerful and optimistic Lei Luo next to him, Aoun complained: "We will be classmates studying together for the next three years. Why don't you come to me if you have difficulties? Will you refuse me when I have difficulties in the future?"
"how come!"
Lei Luo apologized instead.
At the right time, a group of tutors walked up to the high platform, and the hundreds of scholars and freshmen in the huge square fell silent and looked up at the past.
