Chapter 19 Roland City

"Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye..."

"...Knight Rudger killed the evil wizard, saved the kingdom, and finally married the princess..."

Mellen closed the novel in his hand and felt that the spiritual entertainment life in this world was just like that. The routine was quite simple, nothing more than some righteous knights defeating evil wizards, saving princesses and the like.

If he had "moved" those masterpieces from a certain point in his previous life, he would probably have easily become a famous writer!

If you bring the style of 'Cthulhu' here, you might be able to gain a group of unwavering and crazy fans, or even directly start a cult, which is not impossible!

Retracting his thoughts, Melen looked out the window...

“Woo!~~~”

A melodious whistle sounded, and the scenery outside the window quickly passed by.

Speaking of which, steam trains have only appeared in the Kingdom of Crow in recent years. Compared with other previous modes of transportation, they are quite explosive.

Of course, these are nothing in Mellen's eyes.

Because this is a new product, the operating costs are quite high.

Because the operating costs were quite high, usually only wealthy merchants and nobles could afford to ride.

Because only wealthy merchants and nobles could afford to ride, the protection and service level of steam trains would be higher.

Because of the high labor costs, the operating costs will be further increased!

……

It’s a perfect closed loop!

The crew members on the steam train are all handsome men and beautiful women with an appearance score of over 90 points. The security personnel are also well-trained, and many of them are professionals.

Mellen was in a first-class single room, which was not only equipped with a bed and a bathroom, but also had a special meal ordering and delivery service.

Of course, he could also take the initiative to go to the restaurant car.

Because Spike is an extraordinary life form, although he can be taken on the steam locomotive, he is only allowed to move within a specific range and cannot run around. He must also be accompanied by his master Mellen, otherwise he can only stay in a single room.

The steam train travels at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, and it takes about two days to reach Wangdu.

Mellen brought some books in his bag, and the knight novel he had just read was one of them, which was just right to pass the time during the next few days.

"Dog, come here!"

Mellen waved to Spike, who slowly stood up and walked over to him.

Mellen held his dog's head and looked at it "affectionately" until Spike showed obvious impatience, then he put it down in disappointment.

He muttered to himself, "That doesn't make sense? Why doesn't it work?!"

What Mellen is experimenting with at this moment is the next level of telepathic connection that he and Spike demonstrated when they were in danger before.

At that time, they achieved a deeper connection, where thoughts could be exchanged without restrictions and even power could be transmitted without loss.

It is precisely because of this that Melen was able to transform his spiritual will into tangible power and bless Spike, helping it to evolve and change jobs more easily.

Moreover, in that state, Spike can also exert his 100-point strength to the effect of 200 points!

Therefore, it was able to use its first-level strength to force back the second-level invader.

Melen even felt that if Spike hadn't just completed his evolution and job change and wasn't quite familiar with his own strength, if he hadn't been severely injured and in an extremely weak state before the explosion...

In that battle, Spike might be able to win by defeating his opponent of higher rank!

However, the situation at that time seemed to require a special mental state to achieve, so that in the following days, Mellen tried many times but was unable to enter again.

Just like... the Mega Evolution in Pokémon, he is now missing the crucial 'Key Stone' and 'Mega Stone'!

After playing with the wolf-shaped pendant on his chest for a while, Melen sighed regretfully.

He understood that this treasure passed down from the Warwick family still held many more secrets waiting for him to uncover, but the prerequisite for all this was that he had sufficient knowledge of mysticism.

Two days passed in a flash. The steam train started from Vero City, but it did not go in a straight line. It passed through Tudun City and Amber City on the way, and finally arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Kro... Roland City.

When the train stops at the station, Melen, as a first-class ticket user, has the right to get off first.

The carriage door opened, and he took his luggage and dog and walked out of the station along the spacious passage.

There was a bustling crowd outside, most of them were there to pick up the car.

Suddenly, Mellen felt someone's gaze on him. Following the gaze, he saw a middle-aged man looking at him.

Melen looked at the other person and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a moment.

At this time, he saw the middle-aged man walking towards him quickly, followed by two young men.

The middle-aged man came closer and said respectfully, "Master Mellen, Master Wright asked me to pick you up!"

Uncle Wright?

Mellen looked suddenly enlightened, and remembered that this middle-aged man was one of the butlers in Sir Wright's family. He had seen him several times in the latter's house when he was a child.

But he never saw her again after that, and he didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect that she had come to the royal capital.

Mellen said, "I remember you, Uncle Wright's housekeeper."

The middle-aged man smiled even more broadly and said, "Santos, Master Mellen, my name is Santos Mead! The master has made arrangements for you, please follow me."

Melen nodded, handed the bag in his hand to one of the young men, and then walked out with Santos.

Two steam cars that had been waiting for a long time were parked outside. Since they had six seats, they didn't seem crowded.

After getting in the car, Santos took out a note and an A4-sized card from his pocket and handed them to Mellen, saying, "Please keep these two things."

Melen took it and saw a series of numbers written on it. The card was a portrait of the academy without any text description.

He asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

Santos smiled and said, "The note contains my contact information in Roland City. The Royal Capital Mystic Academy is a boarding school. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can call me at this number and I will rush to your side as soon as possible."

"That card is your proof of enrollment."

In fact, Santos was also a little confused at this time, because he knew that Sir Light had prepared much more than this for Mellen.

Although the Royal Capital Mysterious Academy is a boarding school, it is also okay if you do not want to live in the academy.

Therefore, Sir Wright had prepared a house for Mellen near the college a long time ago and equipped it with servants, as if he was afraid that the latter would not be able to adapt to the life there.

However, what Santos did not expect was that Sir Wright had cancelled all of these not long ago.

Mellen naturally didn't know all this. He studied the admission certificate over and over for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Then he put it down and looked at the scenery outside with great interest.

Roland City is worthy of being the political and economic center of the Kingdom of Crow. Both in terms of area and prosperity, it far exceeds Vero City. Even the relatively new steam cars have a high popularity rate here.

Not to mention the various novelties that dazzled him along the way.

Melen learned from casual conversation that the location of the Royal Capital Mysterious Academy was not in the suburbs as previously thought, or even outside the city, but in the bustling central area.

The vehicle drove for about an hour and then turned into a street with few pedestrians.

It's like suddenly entering a peaceful countryside from a bustling city. It seems that even the hustle and bustle of the outside world has become scattered here.

Tall trees lined the streets, letting in only sparse sunlight.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the gate of a college. There was no name on the gate, but the people entering and leaving all had good temperament.

After getting out of the car, Santos opened the door for Mellen and said, "Master Mellen, the entrance and exit management of the Royal Capital Mystic Academy is very strict. I can only take you here."

Mellen smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.

He looked towards the entrance of the college. There was a reception room with a sign saying "New Students Registration" on it. Two people were busy in the reception room.

Perhaps because Mellen arrived early, there were not many freshmen at this time, and there didn’t seem to be many people in front of him.

He lined up and then looked into the reception room curiously.

I saw the freshman in front of me take out a card with the college pictured on it. One of the receptionists shook a crystal ball over the card, and light appeared on the card. Another receptionist would record something, and then the freshman could enter the college directly.

Because of the obstruction of his view, he couldn't see exactly what was happening.

But it didn't matter, because it would be his turn soon.

A receptionist said to him, "Please show me your matriculation certificate."

Mellen took out the card, and the receptionist waved the crystal ball over the card. Light appeared on the card, showing his name and basic identity information, and even projected his appearance.

Mellen was stunned.

This kind of void 3D imaging technology really shocked him.

Even in the technological world of his previous life, he had only seen similar scenes in science fiction movies.

Of course, perhaps this kind of technology existed in his previous life, but given his status, he couldn't access it.

Mellen asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

The receptionist smiled slightly and said with some pride, "This is witchcraft!"

Another person said, "Come on, Nasim, this is clearly the effect of the extraordinary magical weapon distributed to us by the academy. Why are you acting like you know any witchcraft?"

Melen looked at the other person and found that the notebook he used for recording was also somewhat magical. Every time he wrote a line of words, that line of words would quickly disappear.

From this point of view, the other party is not simply recording, but more like transmitting the information to somewhere.

Nasim curled his lips and muttered, "I will become a real wizard sooner or later!"

After saying that, he pointed at Spike and said to Mellen, "It's the extraordinary life you want to bring into the academy, right?"

Mellen nodded.

Nasim said, "Okay, I've recorded this for you. If the extraordinary life you carry injures others without reason while you're in the academy, the academy will hold you accountable. If the circumstances are serious, you might even be expelled. Do you understand this?"

Mellen nodded again.

"very good!"

Nasim looked at his companions and saw them nod to him before he said to Mellen, "Okay, your information has been registered and you can enroll."

"Once you enter the academy, you'll see a map of the academy. Go to the dormitory area and find Uncle Reiz. He's in charge of dormitory assignments."

"After you've been assigned your dormitories, you'll have five days until school starts. During this time, you'll be free to move around. On the first day, there will be an opening ceremony and an open class for all of you freshmen."

"After the open class is over, you will naturally know what to do next."

Mellen said: "Thank you, both of you..."

Nasim smiled and said, "We are all seniors, you can just call us seniors."

Mellen said readily, "Well, thank you both seniors."

Chapter 20: School Enrollment

After saying goodbye to the two receptionists, Mellen stepped into the academy.

When he stepped through the gate of the academy, he vaguely felt that his body seemed to be swept by an extremely weak invisible energy, a bit like the feeling of a mosquito landing on the body when the attention is distracted, and the hair on the body becomes itchy.

Mellen looked at Spike, who nodded his head to indicate that he had sensed it too.

Thinking of the information recorded by the two seniors before, he guessed that this might be the way the Kingdom Mystic Academy identified outsiders.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and came to a huge sign at the door, which had the basic area distribution map of the college on it.

Teaching area, dormitory area, management area, office area, training area, commercial area, library...

Just from the distribution of these areas, one can understand how huge the area of the entire academy is. This is almost unimaginable for ordinary people in Roland City, where every inch of land is valuable.

However, the Kingdom Mystic Academy has this kind of strength and confidence!

Unconsciously, Mellen began to look forward to his future college life.

Keeping the approximate layout of the college in mind, Mellen led Spike towards the dormitory area.

Along the way, there are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers. I don’t know who designed this college, but it has a beauty that combines Eastern and Western elements.

After walking slowly for about ten minutes, Mellen arrived at the dormitory area. An energetic old man with a beard on his chin, wearing casual clothes and looking like a doorman, was sitting in a rocking chair, basking in the sun and reading a newspaper in his hand.

There was a small table next to it, with a cup of tea on it. Steam was rising from the water, and even from a long distance away, Melen could smell the fragrance.

Mellen looked around and found that the old man was the only one outside the dormitory area, so he hesitantly walked up to him and said, "Hello, I'm a freshman this year. Excuse me, are you the administrator of the dormitory area, Uncle Rez?"

The reason why his tone was a little hesitant was mainly because he had heard the receptionist call the dormitory administrator "uncle" before, and subconsciously thought it would be a middle-aged man. He didn't expect to see an old man.
