Chapter 3: The Bloodlines of Giants and Elves Make Their Appearance
Kate rubbed her numbed earlobe and, observing Ailin's strong reaction, explained: "This 100 silver coins not only covers one year's tuition and accommodation fees, but also includes the cost of the academy's uniform and some expenses for external study."
Age
"What did you say!" Mos's red hair was almost standing on end as he clenched his fists: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a girl, I would definitely make you pay for this today!"
Mosdu was rendered speechless, and Ailin, who was speaking, suddenly stopped, sensing a chill sweeping over.
Did you see that? Those few earthwalkers, even though they possess some orc blood and have leg strength beyond that of ordinary people, can only work as earthwalkers in this Saint Laurent City
An angry shout erupted, and Mos looked at the girl in white with a flushed face, exclaiming: "Is this about money? Do you think I can't afford to support him!"
"Just passing by." This young man, referred to as Lister by Kate, was very handsome, with a languid expression. In his pair of black eyes, yellow glimmers occasionally flashed and swirled, creating a rather eerie feeling for those who gazed into them. After glancing at the backs of Ailin and the others, he asked casually, "What is the name of that little fellow who has at least half elven blood, and where does he come from?"
"Lin Luolan, from Aimei Forest Town," Kate replied after glancing at the registration form again
Oh?
Idiot
Sixteen years old
Since you have so much money, why are you still haggling and making a fuss? Mos was almost fainting with anger upon seeing this; Ailin's purse contained at least twenty gold coins and over a hundred silver coins, which together exceeded the amount in his own purse.
Kate glanced at the girl in white and smiled: "Are you going to help Ailin pay one hundred silver coins?"
"It's only been a year, and it's already so much..." Ailin tugged at Kate's sleeve: "Can you make it a bit cheaper?"
"Corolin Town? Isn't that the forgotten abandoned town? Wasn't it said that there are no young people left there? Haha, you little one from Corolin, you are sixteen years old, yet you are truly too small, aren't you?"
Ailin scratched her head in some frustration: "So it seems that I am indeed a bit too short."
Even the porters do not know? Porters are those who specialize in dragging heavy objects!" Moss said loudly to Allen: "Someone like you, I think it’s better not to force it. It would be wiser to save some silver coins for other purposes.
Liszt smiled and said, "Those who remain there have tempers as hard as stone. Besides that, this little fellow possesses an indescribable confidence and courage. For me, this is true talent; as for bloodline, in my view, it is not the most critical issue. Do not forget, I am merely of ordinary human bloodline myself."
Looking at you, it seems that saving some silver coins is not easy, and awakening only at the age of sixteen, being so frail, you do not appear to possess any special bloodline. " After laughing wildly for a while, Moss's expression turned serious, "It would probably be of no use for you to study at the Holy Dawn Academy; I advise you not to waste the silver coins you have worked so hard to accumulate.
Moss and Kate could not help but nod
Name
You have not been to the 'Forgotten Abandoned Town', but I have been there
"You idiot, I am a boy, not a girl!" However, the "girl" with a face full of black lines instead shouted angrily.
Since you can afford to fund it, then go ahead and fund it. Why all this unnecessary talk
Listen carefully! I am Moss from the Quinn family
Just because of a single remark from Moss, one is compelled to cover a year's expenses for Ailin... Moreover, he always clutches a handkerchief, as if fearing that any dust might fall upon her. This young man is likely not only proud and aloof but also possesses a certain degree of obsessive cleanliness.
Bastard
The young woman in white, who had just turned her head away from this side, now turned back, her face filled with dark lines, appearing to be on the verge of an outburst
At the moment he turned around, a young man dressed in the same attire of the Saint Dawn Academy emerged from the shadows at the street corner
"What is a 'Dihangfu'?" Ailin couldn't help but ask
... ...
"Are you ... ... ?" Kate was momentarily taken aback
Address
Does this have any relevance? By the way, are you really not a girl?
To be honest, even Kate thought that the other was a flat-chested beauty before.
"What! One hundred silver coins! It actually costs one hundred silver coins, this is too expensive!" Ailin's incredulous voice immediately erupted.
"Without any principles." The girl in white turned her face to the side, looking at the street corner, and said disdainfully in a low voice
Before Kate could continue speaking, a red-haired boy standing behind Ailin, preparing to register, suddenly burst into laughter
Haha, little shorty, you can't possibly be so broke that you don't even know how much the tuition is for Saint Dawn Academy for a year, and just came here to study, right?" The red-haired Moston burst into laughter again, saying, "I can't believe there's even haggling over tuition fees.
The several strong men are all nearly two meters tall, exceptionally robust, especially their legs, which are as thick as barrels. Every muscle is prominently bulging, appearing as hard as rock
Indeed, my interest in him surpasses that in Lin Luolan. Especially since he emerged from the forgotten, abandoned town, carrying so many gold and silver coins, this piques my curiosity about him even more. I will keep an eye on him... If he truly proves to be exceptional, I will personally guide him in his cultivation.
"Because I am the only one of this age in the town of Kelorin, there is no one to compare with." Ailin replied naturally while inwardly cursing Old Jins: "You really are quite the tormentor of children..."
Ah?
After more than ten minutes, having finally managed to control the flames of war, Kate, who had completed her enrollment procedures, looked at the figures of Ailin and the others, unable to help but smile and muttered to herself
Indeed! Kate's eyes sparkled as she smiled at the red-haired youth, Moss, and Elin, momentarily refraining from interjecting.
The girl in white did not even glance at Mos, and after saying this, she looked at Kate and coldly said: "Help him arrange for enrollment; I will cover the cost of one hundred silver coins"
Moss and Kate exchanged a glance, unsure of what had transpired
So it is you, Liszt! How did you come to be here
Moss and Catton suddenly had a moment of realization
Ailin
"Isn't it just a fraction of giant blood? How dare you arbitrarily decide the lives of others?" A cold voice sounded from the side
At the Saint Li Academy's enrollment registration office, Kate, who was busy filling out forms, looked up in surprise.
The Forgotten Abandoned Town
These little creatures are indeed quite troublesome
The girl in white looked at Ailin, her voice filled with murderous intent as she enunciated each of the three words clearly, her flowing long hair rising in the air.
Mos was taken aback for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter: "Are you an idiot? You don't even know whether you are short or not?"
Is it acceptable to criticize others from a position of superiority just because one is doing good for them
Moss was taken aback and turned his head, discovering that the voice belonged to a beautiful young girl with long hair standing to the side, holding a handkerchief. Her hair was a peculiar silver-white, appearing exceptionally clean and spotless. She seemed to be of similar height to Moss and wore a cold, aloof expression.
On the Dolast continent, one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins
Shengquan Yin Avenue is one of the four main streets in Saint Laurent City, lined with numerous shops on both sides. At the center of the street stands a twelve-tone fountain that produces melodious music. Various shops and a ground paved with smooth stones of different colors forming intricate patterns... Even the colorful shop signs and Kate's light blue academy uniform embroidered with the words 'Saint Dawn' are all quite novel for Ailin, who is visiting a large city like Saint Laurent for the first time
His expenses, along with mine. The girl in white seemed unwilling to say another word, coldly taking out two gold coins and tossing them to Kate
This red-haired youth is half a head taller than Ailin, has a round face with some faint freckles, and displays a rather arrogant demeanor
No one can arbitrarily decide another person's life; everyone has the right to pursue their own dreams
This guy is really quite oblivious; he doesn't get angry at all? Looking at Erin, who showed no sign of anger despite being called short all the time, Kate let out a light sigh and said, "Alright, Erin from Kelorin Town, you can proceed with the enrollment procedures after paying one hundred silver coins."
Kate immediately breathed a sigh of relief
"Because this tuition is indeed quite expensive, it would certainly be better if it were a bit cheaper." Ailin smiled shyly, "But I still want to thank you and this sister, and - the - book, you are all good people"
How?
The red-haired youth seemed to have finally awaited his opportunity to perform, laughing boisterously and arrogantly, while also striking a rather childish pose
"Hmm? What is this?" Kate's gaze fell upon the red-haired youth, and upon seeing the viper emblem on the youth's clothing, his pupils involuntarily constricted slightly
As Kate raised her head to observe Ailin, Ailin was also examining the young teacher and the street of Saint Spring Sound University where the registration office was located
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he turned around abruptly
I want to kill you
You still dare to say that!
"Little shorty, you are certainly too short." Moss laughed and gestured towards Ailin, saying, "Look, I am only fourteen years old, yet I am still half a head taller than you."
"Who are you?" Ailin, who had long been accustomed to being mocked by the miners, did not get angry. He turned to look at the red-haired boy and asked, "Am I really that small?"
"What? Can you afford the tuition?" Moss turned to look at Erin in disbelief
Some girls are indeed very sensitive about their age
In my impression, that remote town near the abandoned mining area should have very few young people left, and I have heard that those who still remain there are merely scraping by on some barren copper ore.
I have not heard of any families with high elf bloodlines in that area. However, regardless of their origins, the presence of high elf bloodlines... and the little one from the Quinn family, who also possesses some giant blood, along with that newcomer named Ailin from the mining area of Kolorin Town, makes this year's freshmen much more interesting than in previous years. " Lister shook his head and said this, then lazily smiled, "Kate, you have the nickname of the good-tempered teacher at our Saint Dawn Academy, but I think that little one named Ailin has an even better temperament than you; it seems like he never gets angry at all."
"Ailin?" Kate discerned the implication in Liszt's words and said with some confusion, "He only awakened so late... Do you think he has some special qualities as well?"
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded
"You... are you a boy?" The dazed Erin's gaze fell on the "girl"'s flat chest, and after a moment of realization, she mumbled, "But you're just too beautiful, you really look quite like a girl... and - picture - book"
Ailin said apologetically: "I must have misspoken; it should be 'thank you, younger sister,' not 'older sister.'"
"This ... ... " Ailin's weak voice began to sound, "Can everyone please stop making noise? I can pay for my own tuition."
Yes, what is it
You! Mo Si was so angry that his nose twisted, and he reached out to take out a money pouch, handing it to Kate: "Teacher, I will cover his tuition!"
The girl in white coldly interrupted Moss's angry shouts, still not looking at him, but instead gazing at Kate, and said indifferently: "Teacher, since I have already paid his enrollment fee, please assist him with the subsequent enrollment procedures."
Ailin was somewhat dazed. One hundred silver coins was the living expense for an ordinary family for two years, which was certainly not a small sum, and he was quite certain that he had never met this girl in white before.
Spirit Bloodline
In his impression, the girl in white had been appearing on Holy Spring Sound Street for quite some time, yet she had never come to queue. Now, upon reflection, he vaguely understood that this girl in white seemed to be unhappy about standing in line with others. It was only after everyone else had left that she came alone to complete her enrollment procedures
Following Moss's gaze, Eileen saw several strong men wearing only leather shorts, their bodies wrapped in coarse ropes
Earthwalker
Looking at the somewhat dull and yellowish hair, dressed in a garment made of an unknown fabric, stood Ailin, who was only of average height for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. His brows furrowed as he asked: "You are Ailin, from Kelorin Town? Are you really sixteen years old?"
If you don't even know this, what are you doing in school
"Dare you say that to me? Who are you?" Moston was somewhat angry at that moment and coldly snorted, "Can't you see that I am doing this for his own good?"
Aelin's head was struck by Moss: "What fox ears? This is elven blood!"
I understand
"Fox ears?" Ailin's voice rang out again, filled with surprise, as he noticed that the two ears of the girl in white were pointed, looking delicate and beautiful.
Ailin nodded vigorously, carefully untying the money pouch that she had been holding tightly in her hand
"Are you also a new student enrolling at the Saint Dawn Academy?" Kate asked with great interest as she caught the gold coin.
Coraline Town
