I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

"Could it be the wood element energy on his magic wand?" Lei Bu nodded, this should be the reason.

"By the way, what kind of puzzle is that talking oak tree?" Professor Lightning Step asked curiously.

"Well, the puzzle is a little weird."

Ruan Xiaozhe recalled those puzzles. Although the shadow puzzle was reasonable, the puzzles about the dwarf and the candle were simply outrageous.

"The Talking Oak Tree just likes to come up with some incredible puzzles." Professor Lightning Step nodded in understanding.

"These talking oak spirits are known for conjuring strange puzzles for wizards."

"Inexperienced mages are often deceived by their majestic appearance, thinking that there is some mysterious wisdom hidden in those puzzles, but in fact, these puzzles are just boring jokes."

"...I see." Ruan Xiaozhe agreed deeply.

"Yes, things in the world are often like this. When you see through it, it's just like that."

After listening to Professor Lightning Step's explanation, Ruan Xiaozhe felt speechless.

Is the puzzle about the goblins sneaking into the orcs' banquet just a boring joke?

"The riddle I heard is this..." Ruan Xiaozhe said out the riddles posed by the talking oak tree one by one.

"Many orc tribes gathered together for a banquet, and a malicious goblin sneaked in. They ate, drank and had fun together without causing any trouble. How did he do that?"

"The answer is simple. It's because the goblin disguised himself as an orc and sneaked in," Professor Lightning Step replied.

"...What?" Ruan Xiaozhe opened his mouth in surprise.

So simple? ?

"Don't overthink the puzzle of the talking oak tree. If the goblins want to trick the orcs, they just need to disguise themselves."

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe digested these words silently. Although this puzzle seemed absurd, it might have a deep meaning. Maybe this puzzle was hinting at a way for him to escape from school?

Ruan Xiaozhe still remembers what Oak said to him when they parted that night: "Remember the riddle I just gave you. Solve it and you can get out."

"So, the puzzle means that I can escape from Einlogard by disguising myself?" Although this was a simple statement, it pointed out the key.

Although this magic school is closed, it is not completely isolated from the outside world.

Some priests from certain religious orders would enter the school, as well as food and various potion materials supplied from the outside world. The workers who carried these materials were often ordinary people who did not understand magic, and they would also enter the school.

"Even without using magic, there is a way to leave this school!"

Ruan Xiaozhe clenched his fists, as if he saw a ray of light in the dead silence!

"...?"

Professor Lightning Step felt strange when he saw Ruan Xiaozhe's expression of enlightenment.

"What did this kid actually learn from that boring puzzle of the talking oak tree?" Lightning Step was puzzled.

It seems that Ruan Xiaozhe is an amazing kid, both in terms of farming skills and coping abilities.

……

After Ruan Xiaozhe started planting a vegetable garden, Professor Lightning Step got a few chickens from somewhere.

Ruan Xiaozhe looked at Professor Lei Bu's sad expression and smiled bitterly. Obviously, these chickens were caught by Lightning Bu from Lei Bu's chicken coop.

"Take good care of these animals, Vodanaz. They will repay you." Lightning Step handed a few chickens to Ruan Xiaozhe.

"Thank you, professor." Ruan Xiaozhe said gratefully.

Having these chickens means I will have eggs to eat in the future.

For those first graders who were so hungry that they were about to eat rocks, fresh eggs were a luxury.

And with these eggs, he can become the king of the Qinglong Tower dormitory!

"Take this too. Yeah, this is not bad either." Professor Lightning Step seemed to be planning to give Ruan Xiaozhe as much as possible. The basket was filled with eggs, fresh cabbage, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, butter, cheese, and even thick-cut venison...

With every additional item Lightning Step put into the basket, Professor Lightning Step's face frowned deeper and his expression became sadder.

But Ruan Xiaozhe pretended not to see it and just kept helping Lightning Step to stuff the food into his basket.

"See you next time in class."

"This is a very sumptuous meal, thank you both professors."

Ruan Xiaozhe was filled with joy and was ready to wave goodbye.

Although this dinner with the two dwarves was a bit dizzying, it was very rewarding. Not only did they unlock the secret of the staff, but they also got a hint on how to escape from the school, not to mention the extra food supplies.

"How did the first-year students survive before?" Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but think as he looked at the full basket.

Although he earned food by working, other students in previous years might not be so lucky. Will they always be hungry?

……

"Vodanaz is coming!"

"Our savior has come!"

The students of Qinglong Tower were in the first-year lounge, all of them looking tired and hungry.

When they saw Ruan Xiaozhe, their eyes lit up!

Especially when they saw the big basket in Ruan Xiaozhe's hand, the cheers became even louder!

"Vodanaz, my friend of honor!"

"The descendant of the most noble family in the empire!"

"Although I don't think I am qualified to say this, these guys are so undignified." But Ruan Xiaozhe understands them. Hunger can make anyone humble.

The news of Ruan Xiaozhe's arrival spread quickly, and the students of Qinglong Tower poured out of their rooms and surrounded Ruan Xiaozhe like a group of birds waiting to be fed.

"Everyone must be hungry. Wait, I'll cook right away." Ruan Xiaozhe comforted everyone with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out the vegetables and meat he had gotten from Professor Lightning Step and used them to cook a hearty soup that would be enough for everyone to eat together.

Ruan Xiaozhe chopped the venison and onions into pieces and stir-fried them in a pot on the fireplace until they became golden and tender.
