Elite Mages’ Academy

"Tell me?" Brown raised his head unexpectedly.

The man's voice was a little cramped. It seemed that he didn't understand Russian very well, or that the pronunciation itself was not clear. He recognized it clearly: "Ivan, Norwich, Tonya, no, no, let me think about it, it should be It's Ivanevich..."

Xiao Lin was the closest to Brown, and he noticed that when the man pronounced the name, the old man's eyes obviously contracted sharply, and for the first time, shock and shock appeared on his staid face.

The man didn't know it yet, and murmured to identify and correct it, but more and more people gradually realized it, and their eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

Laurent interrupted the man, and said in a strange tone: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the translation? Impossible, you must have mispronounced it!"

"What did I hear just now!" Ke Luoya seemed to have not recovered from the shock.

Brown waved his hand, his tone was very difficult: "There is no need to translate, the full name should be Ivanevich, but it is Ivan, my God! His name actually appeared on the website!"

The hall suddenly fell into a terrible silence, everyone's face was unbelievably shocked, except for Xiao Lin, who didn't understand the meaning of the name, he moved his buttocks, and asked in a low voice: "Ahem, what is that?" , who can tell me, who is Ivan?"

brush!

More than a dozen pairs of speechless gazes turned to him, but Xiao Lin's words eased the solemn atmosphere a little, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "That's all for today, Xiao, don't you want to ask for a day off?" , I approved, today I will give you all a day off, no, it is two days off!"

"What about the reward!" Laurent also recovered from his surprise. For him, he cared more about his reward than the name Ivan.

Professor Brown's voice was weak, and he didn't want to get entangled with Laurent on such a trivial matter. Gritting his teeth, he simply waved his hand: "The rewards are paid out normally!"

Laurent smiled happily, and put down the work in hand: "Then let's go back first. In fact, I don't think you need to worry too much, Professor. I think it's just a coincidence that the name Ivan appeared on it, or is it just the same name?"

On the way back, Xiao Lin seized the time for Laurende and the others, but several of them sighed or shook their heads. Even Laurende, who usually likes to joke, didn't say much. Just let Xiao Lin go back to check the information by himself. It seems that several people seem to be in awe of this name.

It was not yet noon, and Song Junlang was not in the room. In fact, only half of the morning time had passed. Xiao Lin planned to continue to do gravity adaptation in the hotel, but after thinking for a while, he decided to go to the business district first.

He is far from being familiar with the city, but the enthusiastic innkeeper seemed to have guessed his difficulty, and offered to send a map of the city tour, which made Xiao Lin think that the boss Norma, who always likes to be courteous when nothing happens, also has advantages of.

The business district is the city center. It is quite prosperous, and there are various shops on both sides of the staggered streets. It is easy to tell from the clothing that most of these merchants are local aborigines, but when you go to the center of the business district, you can gradually see some colonists. shops, but not all of them are from the same people, at least Xiao Lin saw several yellow-skinned Asians.

What's more, they opened a supermarket-type storefront. Xiao Lin went in with some interest and took a look. They sold bone, bone and teeth jewelry pendants and the like, and had a brief chat with the owner. The other party was indeed a person from the Dawn Academy. These gadgets were made from hunting beast bones into simple pendants, and after being simply cast by the orc shaman, they often possessed some magical effects. It is a common thing in the Beast Race and Dawn City, but it is relatively rare here, and it can often be sold for several times the price.

After politely declining the other party's intention to sell, Xiao Lin asked where the skill books were sold, and then left the supermarket to check the map. Turn left and go around, and finally stop at the corner of a certain alley. This alley looks very old, and the stone bricks are covered with vines. Maybe this is the old site left over from the Thunder Kingdom period.

The environment is very quiet, and it seems to be two different worlds from the bustling bustle outside.

Xiao Lin was a little strange, compared to the bustling market outside, this place looked very deserted, if someone hadn't guided the way, they might not have found it here.

With a creak, he pushed open the old wooden door. The shop was not very big, but the furnishings were quite chic. Outside the two French windows, the old and thick branches and leaves were properly covered, allowing the sparse bright sunlight to shine in on the wooden floor. Leaves mottled light and shadow.

There are several rows of bookshelves in the center, and several kinds of small and exquisite animals are often carved on the top of the bookshelves, which seem to be ingenious. Next to the window, there are two rows of sofa chairs around the round table. At this moment, several men and women are sitting on them, drinking Strong aroma of coffee, while holding an exquisitely crafted book and looking at it.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, several people turned their heads to look at Xiao Lin, with doubts in their eyes.

On the contrary, Xiao Lin was a little embarrassed. No matter how you looked at it, it looked more like a small library for private parties than a skill book store. He searched for the English words he knew in his stomach.

A middle-aged man stood up first and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Lin quickly organized his vocabulary to answer: "I was told that skill books can be bought here, but I think I may have found the wrong place."

After he was about to leave, a middle-aged blond woman sitting with her back to him looked back at him in surprise, and couldn't help laughing: "You're right, this place is indeed selling skill books, it's really rare, How did you find it?"

After telling them that it was a Shuguang businessman who opened a supermarket, they got more laughter. The standing middle-aged man shook his head, dumbfounded. This time he said directly in Chinese: "So you are from Shuguang College, no wonder that old guy I would recommend you to come here."

The fluent Chinese made Xiao Lin feel a little familiar immediately, and he let go of the hand on the doorknob first, and asked, "Are you also a graduate of Shuguang College?"

This is a burly man with thinning hair. He seems to have shaved his head not long ago. He is wearing a white blouse. His muscles exposed to the air are swollen like steel bars, but such a sturdy man looks very Kindly, he smiled lightly, and replied: "Well, hehe, I'll be a businessman again today, so little brother, what do you need?"

"It seems that he is your compatriot, then we will not bother you."

"Let's meet again some other day!"

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the other people on the sofa stood up and said goodbye. When they passed by Xiao Lin, they smiled politely and left. (To be continued.)) Book friends, pay attention!
