Cooking Girl on Fire: All the beautiful men come to the bowl

Chapter 25 Arrive at the Imperial Capital
Ai Xiaomi encountered a problem when checking out.

She had already spent all the money she had exchanged for bear paws, bear skins, and other add-ons from the Xingyue Forest, and the copper coins she had left were definitely not enough to pay for the five gold coins for the meal.

In Longmiao Continent, the common currency is silver coins, the smallest currency unit is copper coins, and the largest currency unit is amethyst coins.In other words, the basic formula is:
1 amethyst coin = 100 gold coins.

1 gold coin = 100 silver coins.

1 silver coin = 100 copper coins.

It's a bit like the fillet points in modern society. 1 silver coin is 1 yuan, 1 gold coin is 100 yuan, and 1 amethyst coin is equal to 100 RMB.The conversion is completely like RMB. The living expenses of an ordinary family of three will never exceed [-] gold coins a year.

So, now Ai Xiaomi doesn't care about the bill worth 500 RMB, although the fox Lanlan can indeed eat some.However, Zhao Kuangyin's predicament was not good after all, so Ai Xiaomi took out the crystal nucleus obtained from killing the wind-type silver wolf, and wanted to pay it back to the boss.

However, the boss seemed to have a strong hostility towards Ai Xiaomi when she told her how to make the pilaf, so facing the crystal nucleus that Ai Xiaomi took out, although the boss showed greed in his eyes, he still responded with a sentence. "The value is too high, and I can't get the money" to reject Ai Xiaomi, and then began to say things such as "I don't have money to go to any restaurant" and "Who knows whether your crystal nucleus is real or not."

In his opinion, as long as he doesn't let Ai Xiaomi go, then Ai Xiaomi will either have to exchange the crystal nucleus with the customers in the store for money, or he can only give the crystal nucleus to himself.If Ai Xiaomi exchanges with customers, which one here is not a veteran of the rivers and lakes?Surely she would not be given gold coins of the same value.And if she gave the crystal nucleus to herself, she said that she had no extra money to give her, and she would never let her take the crystal nucleus away again.

In short, he wants to embarrass the girl in front of him!
The boss's little plan was well done, who told this girl to tell the secret of the pilaf in front of her face!

Faced with the boss's rude request, Ai Xiaomi was also very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.But she also understands that the crystal nucleus can be sold for at least 300 gold coins in the exchange market, so she will never be so stupid as to leave the crystal nucleus to the boss.

"Master, why don't we escape! Use your magic to frighten them, we can definitely escape." Lan Lan said to Ai Xiaomi from the bottom of her heart, but Ai Xiaomi refused.

It is said in "The Art of Fire God" that high-level attribute is a kind of attribute that is envied by others, especially for those magicians with extremely high ranks. If there are high-level attribute magicians in a country, even if you try your best, you will not be able to win them over. If it is not, then what greets the high-level attribute magician will be destruction in all directions.After all, no country will ever hand over its powerful potential power to other countries.Therefore, before one possesses sufficient strength, one must not easily reveal the attribute of the fire element in front of others without threatening one's life, and this sufficient strength must break through at least the sixth level.

While Ai Xiaomi was considering whether to collect from the space pendant and realize the "wages" stolen from Chrominos, five shiny gold coins were placed on the bar counter and pushed to the restaurant In front of the boss.

"I'll pay for her meal!"

Ai Xiaomi was taken aback, because she heard that clear voice again, that voice seemed to touch her heart a little when she uttered it.That kind-hearted man was exactly the silver-haired man who was sitting across from him just now.

The silver-haired man pushed the five gold coins to the boss, and paid for his share of the meal. Then he glanced at Ai Xiaomi vaguely, and then walked out.

"Thank you, thank you!" Ai Xiaomi looked at those deep lake-like eyes, and suddenly her brain roared, and all the blood rushed up, making her little face flushed red.

"Huh! You're lucky! You can meet noble people even if you eat for nothing!" The restaurant owner put away the few gold coins, and gave Ai Xiaomi a vicious look, and all kinds of ugly words came out one after another.

Ai Xiaomi didn't have time to pay attention to the boss's scolding, and the gentle words of the silver-haired man still appeared in her ears. When she reflected again, the figure of the silver-haired man had disappeared outside the gate of the restaurant.

"Wait!" Ai Xiaomi yelled and chased after him, but there was no silver-haired man in sight. On the bustling streets, the moon-white robe was no longer seen.He came and walked lightly, leaving no trace, as if nothing had happened.

Ai Xiaomi was in a trance, and still remembered that when the silver-haired man turned around before leaving, he whispered a sentence in his ear: "See you in five years."

Five years later?Why five years later?Ai Xiaomi couldn't figure it out, was he referring to the God of Cooking Competition?

……

Ai Xiaomi stayed in Haduo Town for a few more days, and learned a little more about the above-ground world.

Hado Town, where he is now located, belongs to the Eastern Empire.The Eastern Empire is at the southernmost tip of the entire Longmiao continent, and the terrain is the flattest. Most of the territory is plain, so the agriculture here is relatively developed.The development of agriculture brings about sufficient food and people's living and working in peace and contentment, which in turn leads to more advanced knowledge and technology.

According to Ai Xiaomi's understanding, the Eastern Empire is the country with the most magicians on the mainland, and its imperial capital, Iphilia, is the place with the most magic schools on the mainland. At the same time, the Royal Academy of Magic of the Eastern Empire is the place where the most high-end magicians in the entire continent gather. place.

There are still five years before the next MasterChef Competition.It is a pity for Ai Xiaomi not to be able to catch up with this year's God of Cooking Competition, but it is not a bad thing.She is still young now (even less than half her age before rebirth, ⊙﹏⊙b sweat), but her mind is filled with things from her previous life, which gives her an advantage over her peers.Five years, whether it is long or short, it is absolutely necessary for her to make good use of these five years, first to further study magic to improve her strength, and second, to wait until she has enough self-protection ability to travel in the mainland Sometimes, she also needs to fully understand the world's diet structure and cooking methods to enrich her knowledge base as a cook.

The long-term and short-term goals were set by Ai Xiaomi in this way, and since this is the case, she will spend the time in the Eastern Empire at this stage.As the holy land of magic, Iphilia, the capital of the empire, became the place where Ai Xiaomi decided to live temporarily this time.Ai Xiaomi has hands, feet and skills, and the extras collected from killing monsters in Xingyue Forest are enough to cash in. She thinks that she has the ability to earn living expenses to support herself and the cute fox with a huge appetite.

Ai Xiaomi, who has always done things vigorously and vigorously, took the fox on the road after making this decision. They stopped and stopped all the way, tasting delicious food from all over the world while learning about customs and customs. They traveled through twelve towns in three provinces and finally settled in half A month later, he arrived in the imperial capital of Iphilia.

It happened to be noon when they arrived in the imperial capital, and the scorching sun shone on the ground, bringing a scorching heat. Ai Xiaomi and Lan Lan entered the city smoothly and walked on the streets of Iphilia.Speaking of which, the residual heat brought by the God of Cooking Competition has just dissipated. Occasionally, traces of the stalls set up during the competition can still be seen on the street. Ai Xiaomi can also hear about the excitement of the scene from one or two residents who occasionally passed by.

As for the superb three-peat champion Ian Berry, few people have seen it.I heard that during the competition, the stove where he was sitting was often filled with dense water vapor, which enveloped his figure in the water vapor. Ordinary people sat far away in the arena with ten thousand people, and with the addition of water vapor The mist filled the air, so few people could see his appearance clearly. As for the legendary name of the water magician, no one would believe it because of the fact that it was filled with water vapor.

As soon as she arrived in Iphilia, Ai Xiaomi started her intense and orderly study journey. She has already found out clearly that the whole city of Iphilia covers an area of ​​3000 square kilometers, of which the imperial city occupies nearly 600 square kilometers. Square kilometers of land, more than 800 square kilometers in the suburbs and outside the city, and in the remaining 1600 square kilometers of the urban area, there are more than 20 public and private large and small magic academies, led by the Royal Academy of Magic, funded by the royal family. It is composed of four affiliated colleges of the Royal Academy of Magic, six colleges under the Wizards Union, and other colleges established by forces at all levels.

These academies are more or less dependent on certain forces. After all, the magician talents cultivated by the magic academies are to be sent to various fields.In Ai Xiaomi's view, the composition of these colleges is somewhat similar to the various universities in her previous life:

The Royal Academy of Magic is like old prestigious schools like Tsinghua University and Peking University. Only talented students can enter. The Magic Academy under the Royal Family and the Magicians Union is like famous schools like "985" and "211". That is also outstanding.As for the schools under various forces, they are like ordinary colleges and junior colleges. Due to the number of teachers and the source of students, most of them can only be ordinary magicians, but there is no problem with employment self-protection.As for individual private magic academies, they are small schools opened up by some capable and powerful rich men or magicians. This kind of academies are generally suitable for children from rich families to be gilded, or those whose qualifications are too mediocre to enroll, but People who are still obsessed with magic, this kind of academy is like "New Oriental" and "Lanxiang". Although there are talents in the field, most of them have mixed degrees.

After a comprehensive analysis, Ai Xiaomi naturally targeted the second and third types of colleges.Fortunately, there are horse-drawn carriages in the city of Iphilia, so Ai Xiaomi hired a carriage for one gold coin for an afternoon, and started her journey to study.

The driver is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and he is good at talking. After Ai Xiaomi got in the car, he began to introduce him enthusiastically.

"Dear miss, there is St. Louis Academy of Magic not far ahead. It is a relatively good academy. Because it belongs to the royal family, many students who graduate here enter the Royal Magic Academy. It is opposite Hua Fei Academy of Magic. It’s a nice compound, because it belongs to the Magician’s Guild, so many students graduated there are very successful, and there are Tian’ao Academy and Diglila Academy…” The coachman talked eloquently, saying They are all middle and higher magic academies.Because in his opinion, Ai Xiaomi should have graduated from an elementary magic academy at this age, and her current behavior may be that she is choosing a higher academy to study magic.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and soon came to the St. Louis Academy of Magic that the coachman had mentioned.From a distance, the St. Louis Academy of Magic and Magic is magnificent, with several rows of buildings standing in a well-organized manner not far away, and the shiny logo representing the academy is erected above each building, looming, Ai Xiaomi can still see enough to accommodate On the playground with thousands of people and the size of a football field, many people are studying outdoor magic classes.

Ai Xiaomi took Lan Lan out of the car, and walked straight to the gate.The closer Ai Xiaomi got to this academy, the more she felt the existence of magic fluctuations, which made her nerves a little excited.

Now is not the season for enrolling, but there are all kinds of people who come to study in the various colleges of Iphilia every day, so there are not only security guards at the gate, but also student representatives on duty.

"Hello." Seeing Ai Xiaomi approaching, the student representative greeted Ai Xiaomi warmly and received Ai Xiaomi.

"Hello!" Ai Xiaomi also nodded to the student representative, "I want to ask about the admission requirements of our college."

"Of course!" The enrollment representative smiled back at Ai Xiaomi earnestly. As a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, seeing such a pure, beautiful, and pretty girl, how much does he feel in his heart? There is still a trace of longing for admiration, and looking at Ai Xiaomi's dazzling red hair and the majestic aura unconsciously exuded, this girl should be a fire magician like herself, and this kind of power from the same source is even more powerful. It is inexplicably shortening the sense of distance.

"Our St. Louis School of Magic implements the rules of wide entry and strict exit. As long as the magic level reaches level 4, you can enter the intermediate academy for study, and if the magic level reaches level 5, you can directly enter the higher department of the academy. If you have a letter of recommendation or are a junior academies graduate from the three affiliated academies of the Royal Academy of Magic, you can enter our academy with a magic level of level 3. After all, apart from the Royal Academy of Magic, we are the best magic academy in the city. "The student representative continued to introduce, in his opinion, Ai Xiaomi should have graduated from a junior college at her age, and her strength should be at least level 3 or above.

"So, what about the elementary school?" Ai Xiaomi blinked, her dark red eyes made her look harmless to humans and animals.

"Elementary colleges." As soon as elementary colleges were mentioned, the student representatives' faces became a little more serious. "Elementary colleges are just the opposite of middle and higher colleges. They implement an extremely strict admission system. First of all, the age of entry must be lower At the age of 10, the next thing is that the college’s talent test must reach a score of 70 or more, and the entrance exam must reach a score of 80 or more.” The student representative continued, “Of course, such conditions are a bit harsh, but this is also to ensure a high price. Graduation rate, this is one of the reasons why our college is the best college besides the Royal Academy of Magic. Of course, the harsh conditions also come with many advantages. For example, most of the teachers in our college are members of the Royal Mages, and The school is responsible for our tuition and living expenses..."

The student representative wanted to continue talking, but Ai Xiaomi's face was already filled with disappointment. For her, the fire element, which is a superior attribute, cannot be revealed to outsiders for the time being, that is to say, she wants to treat herself as a A magic rookie who knows nothing is talking about enrollment, that is to say, her current enrollment age is definitely over age.

"So, is there any room for accommodation?" Ai Xiaomi cast another question with hope, "For example, age..."

The student representative couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard Ai Xiaomi's words. He looked at Ai Xiaomi in a daze, and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, who wants to enroll?"
