Chapter 304 Admission
"What do I need to pay?"
In the quiet room, a gentle and calm voice sounded.
Standing beside a wooden table, looking at the black card in front of him, Adil was silent for a while before looking at Derus and asking.
"I like to deal with smart people." A glimmer of admiration flashed in Dirus' eyes.
Holding the black card in his hand, nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he sat quietly on the bed without speaking for a long time.
On the side, Adil waited patiently, standing there quietly watching the other party, without making a sound at this time.
"In this city, many people think that I only have one child."
It took a long time for Dilus to speak and sigh a little: "But in fact, in addition to this child, I have another child, which I gave birth to when I was young."
"Because she's a girl, she's an illegitimate daughter, and she doesn't have the slightest knightly talent, so I haven't told anyone about this for so many years, I just send someone to send them some money every few years. So that they don't have to live in poverty."
"It's just now that my other child has died, and my only remaining descendant is this illegitimate daughter."
Having said this, he paused and turned his eyes to Adil.
"So?" Adil asked back to meet Derus's gaze.
"I hope you can help me take care of her." Facing Adil's line of sight, Dirus said: "In half a year, I want you to protect her as much as possible."
"During this period of time, if something bad happens in the middle, you will take her away and settle down in a remote and safe place. If there is no accident along the way, after half a year, your mission will end here."
He looked at Adil and said, "On this condition, as long as you agree, this certificate will be yours."
When the voice fell, Adil's face was calm, as if thinking about the gains and losses.
It wasn't until after a while, under the gaze of Derus, that he finally nodded: "Deal."
The voice fell, and immediately, Dilus's heart was relieved.
He looked at Adil in front of him and nodded, and directly asked Karam, who was standing beside him, to deliver a package.
"In addition to an invitation letter from the Kingdom of Malan, here is my letter of introduction and three thousand purple gold coins."
"Thank you." Adiel nodded lightly, looked at Karam walking in front of him, and gently stretched out his hand to accept the package handed by the other party.
After doing this, they didn't speak any more. In place, only the voice of Adil packing up his things sounded from time to time.
"Is this really good? Entrust this kind of thing to an outsider."
After a while, after Adil left, standing beside Dirus, while supporting Dirus, Karam frowned and opened his mouth, looking a little distrustful of Adil.
"There is no way."
In front of his eyes, Dirus changed his clothes and shook his head helplessly: "We have no other choice."
"The whole family has been targeted. The people we know have too big goals and are too easy to expose. At that time, they may not be trustworthy."
He turned around and looked out the door, and seemed to be able to see Adil's retreating back: "After all that, only this doctor is a good choice."
"He's not from our family, and he didn't go out often during this time, so it's not easy to be targeted."
"And his strength is good. From the perspective of his character during this period, although he has not reached the point of strictly fulfilling the oath of knighthood, he is still decent enough to not attack an ordinary girl."
Standing in the same place, Derus looked calm, and looked out the door quietly: "After all the conditions are combined, he is the best candidate at present."
"After all, at this point, we don't have any more options."
･･････････
"Although I have gained something, why do I always feel that I will be involved in greater trouble."
go back to your room,
While packing his luggage, Adil thought to himself.
Thinking of the previous conversation with Derus, this feeling rose in his heart.
Although the other party didn't say it directly, he felt the emotional ups and downs in the other party's heart. Combined with the tragic situation of the Elland family during this period of time, Adiel was 70 or 80% sure that when he went to protect the other party's daughter this time, he would probably touch it. what trouble.
However, the conditions given by the other party are indeed undeniable for the current Adil.
To find a way to enter the Imperial Academy and learn the knowledge of knights in this world is what Adil had planned before. Now that he has this opportunity, he naturally cannot miss it.
After all, under normal circumstances, there is no big aristocrat in the country to come forward to guarantee, with Adil's identity as a black household in this world, it is a fool's dream to enter a knight academy specially opened by the empire, such as the Maran Academy, and it is completely impossible.
After cleaning up for a while, Adil lifted a medicine box in front of him and walked out.
Outside the room, a black-robed man in black was already standing there. At this time, when he saw Adil walking out, he bowed slightly and gave Adil a knightly salute: "Mr. Adil, Are you finished?"
"There's nothing to pack."
Looking at the man in black covered in black robes in front of him, Adil said calmly: "I have already put the medicine prepared for Mr. Derus, along with how to use it, you can bring someone over to take it later. already."
"I understand." The man in black nodded: "Then, Mr. Adil, please come with me."
When the voice fell, he turned around and walked directly towards the path ahead.
Behind him, looking at his back, with a medicine box in his hand, Adil also walked forward.
After a while, they went further and further, and after passing through a basement, they came to a small door.
touch...
The sound of metal colliding sounded.
Holding the key in his hand, the man in black opened the small door here, then walked aside and turned to look at Adil: "Sorry, for some reasons, the main entrance cannot be left for the time being, so I can only go from here."
"I understand." Adil's face was calm and he nodded lightly, but he was speechless in his heart: "Is this kind of battle even necessary to go out?"
Not to mention on the surface, he still didn't say much, just turned around and walked outside.
Out of the small door, oncoming, is a long corridor.
It didn't take long for him to walk here. In the distance, a little light gradually came, with the low sound of insects, which was heard by Adil.
He stepped out of the passage and looked out again.
There was a flat grass in front of him, and there was a long stream in the distance. The sound of flowing streams kept coming, which made Adier stunned for a moment.
"Have you left the city?"
Feeling everything around him, he couldn't help but turn around and look behind him.
Behind him, a huge city stood quietly, exactly the same as what he saw when he first came.
·······························································
tread... tread... tread...
The sound of horse-drawn carriages echoed from time to time on the clean road.
Sitting on a carriage, looking at the scenery on the road through the car window, Adil's face was calm and he didn't speak.
At this time, more than a month has passed since the departure. During this time, the memory of the Elland family has grown farther and farther. It's just that the token and recommendation letter on his body are still there, making Adil rush to the city.
"Sir, it's already there." A voice sounded in front of the carriage.
The driver of the car was a middle-aged man who looked very honest. On this hot day, he was wearing a short robe and sweating all over his body, and he looked quite sunburned.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He slowly got off the carriage and walked out with his medicine box in his hand. Adil, dressed in a clean white robe, looked at the driver in front of him: "You can leave now, and come pick me up at night."
After giving these instructions, after a while, the driver drove the carriage away, and Adil also turned around and walked forward.
In front of him was a huge building, and a renovated very grand gate.
The whole gate is black, and it looks like it is made of some kind of metal. It looks strong and sturdy. The word "Maran" is written on it in the language of this world.
This is the Maran Academy, one of the several colleges opened by the Maran Empire.
Compared with several other colleges, this college is the most famous in the Maran Empire. Because in this Maran Academy, there are academies and courses specially opened for knights, and it is a high-level academy that can really cultivate knights.
Adil is no stranger to this place in the past few days. After entering the gate, he directly followed the route in his memory and walked towards a huge building in the distance.
As soon as he walked into the academy, dozens of lines of sight instantly fell on Adil.
The appearance and temperament bonus brought by the blood of the moon elf appeared at this time, and people around him, men and women, couldn't help but look at Adil's body at this time, which made him look extremely conspicuous for a while.
But for this kind of attention, Adil has long been used to it.
His face was calm, his white robe did not look polluted at all, and his extremely handsome appearance looked very delicate, with a calm and straight temperament, which left a deep impression on the hearts of the people around him.
Walking on the road, it didn't take long before he came to a tall building.
"Mr. Adil, your admission application has been successfully processed."
In the spacious room, in front of the counter, a blond woman in a black dress brought a round black sign to Adil with a smile on her face: "This is your certificate, please keep it. "
"In addition, the annual tuition fee of the college is fifty purple gold coins, please pay within the time limit."
Looking at Adil, she added: "Here is a course schedule. If you need to fill in other paid courses, you can choose directly here, and we will arrange the time."
While speaking, he handed Adil a class schedule.
Taking the class schedule handed over by the other party, Adil looked up.
On the course schedule, the names of the courses and the required fees are quietly stated above, along with a general introduction, including the instructors and other information.
As for the specific courses, it can be described as various, there are orthodox knight courses such as swordsmanship, bow and arrow, and other courses such as perfume, flower art, and medicine.
Some of these courses are free, and some are charged, but except for a few courses, the cost of most of the courses is only one or two purple gold coins, which is comparable to Adil's tuition. extremely cheap.
Of course, this is actually a matter of comparison.
The academy that Adil signed up for was the most important knight academy in the Maran Academy, and the fees were naturally much higher than other academies.
In fact, if it's not just to learn knight courses, but just to learn some ordinary courses, then you don't even need a recommendation letter from a noble, and you can enter by paying enough money.
Looking at the class schedule in front of him, Adil glanced at it, then randomly selected a few courses on it, and returned it to the blonde woman in front of him.
After doing this and paying the required fees, Adil turned around and left in the direction he came from.
touch... touch...
Light footsteps came from a distance.
In Adil's sight, a young girl walked towards here.
The girl was wearing a red robe, her long soft hair was well combed, and carefully tied with red threads, her delicate and beautiful face looked a little indifferent, and at this time she walked in the direction of Adil.
Seeing Adil, the girl's face flashed a hint of surprise, and then she returned to normal, her face looked expressionless, and she passed Adil directly.
"Almost no weaker than Derus."
Passing by the girl, and feeling the breath coming from the other party, Adil couldn't help but sigh.
His face was calm, and he looked no different from before, and walked straight forward.
