Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 48 First Arrival in the Ancient Capital
In the end, the warrior-level spirit essence was sold for twenty-two million.

The main reason is that this spirit does not come from a special demon creature, but a warrior-level demon that is relatively common in the Changjiang waters.

Therefore, its transaction price did not reach the exaggerated level of 29 million of the Scale-skin Mother Fairy Soul.

"Next is today's finale competitor, I believe many people will be interested in it."

The woman in the red dress waved to the back, signaling the staff to bring up the last auction item.

"This is an egg laid by a Firefly Bluebird. Our auction house has certified this egg as 100% hatchable. I believe everyone is familiar with the Firefly Bluebird. It's a creature that can reach the level of a Warlord upon reaching adulthood. Most importantly, it possesses the ability to carry humans and fly, making it perfectly suited to serving as a flying mount. Summoning mages present, please place your bids."

"The starting price for the Fire-Winged Bluebird Egg is 60 million. Bidding begins now!"

As soon as this finale fluorescent-winged bluebird egg appeared, the scene was boiling.

In the magical world, there are only two types of wizards who can control this kind of creatures. One is the mind wizard, and the other is the summoning wizard.

Summoning mages can summon through intermediate magic contracts and find any kind of demon creature to sign a contract. Once the contract is established, the demon creature will be 100% loyal to the mage.

This is also the reason why Contract Summoning can become the core skill of the summoning mage.

Because the summoning system's primary magic dimensional summoning only summons a dimensional creature with the wizard's spiritual imprint from the dimensional plane to fight.

However, the dimensional creatures can only stay in the magical world for a limited time, and may not obey the wizard's orders.

Simply put, the creatures summoned by the dimension are only temporary workers, and they will continue to consume the magic power of the mage after they are summoned. The longer the summoning time, the more magic power is consumed.

However, there is no such problem for contracted creatures, and once the contract is signed, they become lifelong partners.

That's why the appearance of this fluorescent-winged blue bird egg attracted everyone present to chase after it.

However, in Su Chi's eyes, this thing was not even as good as chicken ribs, and even Lingling beside him didn't say anything.

With the successful sale of the fluorescent-winged bluebird eggs, the auction officially came to an end.

After Su Chi went to the backstage and paid the money, he successfully obtained the Lei Zhong Lingxu.

"Lingling, do you want to go for a walk or should I take you directly back to the hunting ground?" Su Chi looked at Lingling who was carrying a small schoolbag beside him.

"Let's go back to the hunting ground directly." Lingling thought for a moment and didn't expect there were any fun places in the Magic City.

Su Chi nodded and said nothing more.

After sending Lingling back to the hunting ground, Su Chi planned to stay there for one night.

He hadn't returned to the hunting lodge for a long time since he rented a house outside. He happened to be here today and was too lazy to go back to the rented house.

After dinner, Old Man Bao moved a rattan chair and sat in front of the store, smoking his pipe.

"I heard from Lingling that you are going to the ancient capital in a few days?"

"Yes, President. I'm going to the ancient capital as an exchange student for a few months." Hearing Old Man Bao's question, Su Chi stopped playing with Lingling.

"The ancient capital is not a very safe place. Undead riots occur from time to time throughout the year. You must be extra careful when you get there." Old Man Bao exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly warned.

a few days later.

Su Chi and several other students came to the ancient capital under the guidance of Gu Han, the diplomatic tutor of Mingzhu Academy.

The ancient capital's security boundaries differed from those of other cities. While other cities' security boundaries typically consisted of fortresses, post stations, and barriers, the ancient capital, plagued by the undead and the Qinling demons, was defined by a long earthen wall. "This is the first time I've seen such a grand security boundary," Fang Yanhao exclaimed, looking up at the endless outer wall before him.

"I heard that the circumference of the inner city wall of the ancient capital is close to fourteen kilometers, and the diameter of the outer city wall is about five times that of the inner city wall. I don't know how many earth mages were mobilized to build it." An Ruojun obviously knew this information in advance.

"I heard that the ancient capital is full of undead, how come I haven't seen a single one?"

"It's broad daylight now. The undead only move around at night!"

After entering Anjie, Su Chi and others did not go directly to the ancient capital academy, but instead strolled around the city areas such as the Forest of Steles near the inner city wall.

After all, it’s a rare opportunity to visit the ancient capital, so you must experience the local customs and culture.

After visiting several tourist areas, the group came to the clock tower where the Ancient Capital Magic Association was located in the inner city wall.

One kilometer away from the Bell Tower Magic Association is the Drum Tower where the Hunter Alliance is located. The two buildings can be said to be the center of the entire ancient capital.

As these two landmark buildings of the ancient capital, Su Chi and others would definitely not miss them.

By the time we had finished our shopping, it was already evening.

Afterwards, Instructor Gu Han led everyone directly to the Ancient Capital Academy.

After entering the ancient capital university.

The teacher from the Ancient Capital Academy who was in charge of reception arrived immediately. Under his arrangement, Su Chi and others moved into the student apartments that had been prepared long ago.

There are a total of nine people who came to the ancient capital as exchange students this time.

Except for Su Chi, five of the remaining eight people were members of the team that won first place in the competition.

An Ruojun, Xue Hongxuan, Fang Yanhao, Gao Chenlu, Qi Chenang.

Among the remaining three, there are two girls, one is Xiao Bihan, who majors in healing, and the other is Bai Yueqi, who majors in botany.

The last one is Yin Chengxi, a boy who majors in ice.

The Ancient Capital Academy prepared single rooms for them. After exchanging a few words in the apartment lobby, they went to their respective rooms.

the other side.

The teacher from the Ancient Capital Academy who was in charge of the reception came to see Gu Han.

"Old Gu, it will take two or three days for the exchange students from the other universities to arrive. Remember to remind your students these days that they can wander around the ancient capital during the day, but they must not go near the outer city walls at night."

"Okay, I'll let everyone know." Instructor Gu Han nodded, then changed the subject: "Old Xiao, do you know any inside information about this year's training?"

The teacher surnamed Xiao from the Ancient Capital Academy was stunned for a moment, then quietly leaned towards Gu Han and said, "Old Gu, it's just that we have a good relationship. Since you asked, I'll tell you in advance."

"There have been discussions within the university before, but no final plan has been decided yet. This requires the dean's final decision."

"There are two options now. One is to go to the outer city wall at night and cooperate with the guards to hunt the nearby undead. The other is more dangerous and requires going to the Qinling Mountains."

Hearing this, Instructor Gu Han frowned slightly. If it was the first one, it would be easy. After all, one would only need to stand on the outer city wall and cooperate in hunting the undead. Moreover, the undead have not awakened so frequently in recent days, so it is relatively safer.

But if we are heading to Qinling Mountains, we can’t say for sure.
With this in mind, Instructor Gu Han quickly sent this message to the group chat he had just created today, hoping that Su Chi and others would be prepared in advance.
