Caesar finally did not choose to sit down, still hoping that Mr. Lion could lie down more comfortably, so that people can feel a comfortable distance to control their teeth!
Soon, an old lady in a wizard robe appeared in Caesar's sight, jogging along. She waved her hands as she ran: "Here!"
There was ink on her hands, showing that she had come in a hurry: "Why didn't you send me a message in advance? I could have asked someone to pick you up at the train station."
She kept smiling as she spoke, her eyes narrowed, and she opened the school door as she spoke.
This is an older woman with a bookish air. She has a decent head of silver hair and always has a smile on her face. The years have brought wrinkles on her face, but also given her gentle eyes. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a simple wizard robe, she looks like a gentle little old lady at first glance.
"What's wrong with your face?" She saw the iron mask on Caesar's face at a glance: "Why are you wearing a mask like those old guys from the plastic school?"
The magic studied by the magicians of the Plastic School is quite dangerous. The violent magical elements can bring the risk of disfigurement if one is not careful.
Xi Ze briefly explained what happened. This was a curse caused by the blood of the red dragon, and it would be eliminated naturally within one or two years.
"Oh, that's so amazing. I'm glad you're okay." The old lady nodded repeatedly: "It's okay as long as it gets better later. It's not good for such a young child to have his face disfigured before he gets married." The dean also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
She looked at Caesar carefully.
"Oh, I see you've lost weight!" She smiled and reached out to hold Caesar's hand.
She is Nishize's teacher, and to Nishize she is no different from his own grandmother.
The old lady met Caesar while doing an investigation at the border, and they became familiar with each other because Caesar helped her complete some investigation tasks many times.
The old lady had no children in her life, but she was well-educated and made people feel comfortable when dealing with people. To Xize, the old lady in front of him was an elder he respected, and it was she who arranged the opportunity for him to work here.
"I just arrived today. There was a small accident on the way. I should have come this morning, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now." Caesar explained.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work." As she said this, she led Caesar into the school.
The first thing that catches your eye after entering the school is a fairly large square with a huge fountain standing in the center of the square.
There is a statue in the middle of the fountain. It is not a figure but two hands holding books.
This is the famous Hand of Truth. On the way, old lady Jessica introduced this sculpture to Caesar.
"Originally, the sculpture here was supposed to be of the first dean, but do you know what the dean said?" the lady asked.
"How to say?"
“You shouldn’t believe me, but the truth. So the statue became this, the Hand of Truth.”
She seemed to enjoy the story quite a bit and she even started laughing as she finished it.
The square was surrounded by teaching buildings, and the old lady led Caesar to one of them.
These teaching buildings are all very tall, each with seven floors, and they are completely different from the buildings outside. In this era, magic is the primary productive force.
The old lady's office was on the seventh floor. Unlike what Caesar had expected, her office was not very big. The space inside was mostly filled with various books and materials.
I also saw student classrooms along the way. Due to the lack of space, the classrooms were all large tiered classrooms. I didn't expect that the office of the school dean would be like this.
"Please sit down. It's a bit messy, haha." The layout of the office is very simple, with a desk facing the sun, a coffee table and a sofa on one side, and bookshelves all around. On the coffee table is a coffee pot and a few crystal cups, nothing else.
Jessica asked Caesar to sit on the sofa, and she turned around and took out a contract from her desk.
"Here is your contract. Take a look at it and sign it if you don't have any problem. I have negotiated for your weekly salary of eight gold and six silver coins a week. You will have four classes a week, and the class times will be arranged by the Academic Affairs Office. What do you think?" The kind lady handed over the pen and the contract together.
A weekly salary of eight gold and six silver can be said to be quite high. Many civilians probably don't even spend two golds a month. A weekly salary of eight golds is already considered a high-income earner. The contract given by the old lady can be said to be quite good.
Caesar just took a quick look and signed it.
After signing the contract, she looked at the time. It was still early, so Jessica simply tidied up the table and took Caesar to arrange accommodation for him.
Teaching at this magic university includes board and lodging, and the staff dormitory is built on the westernmost side of the entire school. If you don't tell me, it's probably hard to imagine that this garden-like building is the staff dormitory. It's like an independent Western-style building, surrounded by iron fences, full of flowers and plants, and the greenery is quite good, with green branches sticking out from the gaps in the railings.
The door of the apartment was closed, but there was no guard in the guard room at the door. The dean seemed to be accustomed to such things. She went straight to the guard room and knocked on the glass of the guard room window: "Mr. Roy? Mr. Roy?!"
After knocking several times, there was no response. Finally, after the last knock, a large hand stretched out from under the window and knocked on the glass with the same fingers: "Stop knocking, stop knocking! Here it comes!"
Only the hand was seen but not the person. It was not until the door of the guard room was opened that Caesar suddenly realized that the person outside the door was a dwarf.
His limbs were quite sturdy, and his face was mature, like an adult, but his height was only a little more than half of Caesar's. Unlike the messy beards of other dwarves, Mr. Roy's beard was neatly groomed, neatly tied with colorful rubber bands, and he wore casual clothes, with sturdy limbs exposed.
"Mr. Roy, this is the new teacher Caesar. Please register him and arrange accommodation for him. If there is anything he doesn't understand, please teach him." The old lady said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the dwarf took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and put them on his face. He looked at the young man following the dean and said, "Teacher Caesar, right? Okay, wait a minute."
After registering, Roy took the two of them to arrange a room with a bunch of keys. After receiving the basic daily necessities, they chose a room.
"No, the trees outside the window are too dense and the lighting is not good."
"Change to another one. The layout of this room is not good. How can a bedroom directly face the living room door?"
"Change to another room. This one is too close to the stairs. It's not good."
After several selections, he finally picked a room. During this process, Caesar was not allowed to speak. The wisdom of an experienced person would help him arrange everything. After choosing, Mr. Roy also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Finally, he was arranged. The dwarf couldn't wait to leave.
"I'll arrange for someone to clean up for you later. Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"
Xi Ze only had one bag with him, so he just left it in the dormitory.
I have to say that the employees here are treated very well. His room includes a study, a simple living room, a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom.
"Well, basically nothing, or go out for a walk?" Caesar replied.
"That's perfect. I'll go out with you to buy some daily necessities later, and take you out for a welcome dinner in the evening." Caesar made everything clear in just a few words: "What do you think?"
"I have no objection. It would be great if you could show me around the capital."
"That's settled then." Dean Jessica snapped her fingers happily, "Let's go, wait for me to change clothes."
......
Dean Jessica went back to her office and changed into simple casual clothes. She looked like an ordinary old lady. No one would have thought that this old lady was one of the deans of the highest magic university in the Orn Empire?
The two of them left through the side door of the school. Since it was not the start of the school term yet, it was very difficult for the teacher to go through the main entrance, which was such a big iron door.
The side door is not far from the staff apartment. You don't need a key to go out here. There is an artificial gargoyle here. All registered staff can go out here. Of course, students are not allowed to go here on weekdays. Only students who stay in school during holidays can go here.
Is this the facial recognition function of the other world? This is what Caesar thought when the gargoyle scanned his face. But this artificial creation is different from the two stone lions at the main entrance of the school. The two at the main entrance are more agile and seem to have real life. In comparison, the gargoyles here can only execute simple commands. If you insist, it is the difference between artificial intelligence and APP?
There is a commercial street not far from the side door of the school.
Because it is adjacent to the Magic University, the shops here are all related shops and some snack streets, selling snacks that students may like, various magic equipment, magic materials, magic pets, some magic books, etc. Since school has not started yet, many shops are closed.
Here Xize bought all the daily necessities he needed. He didn't have to carry them with him. He just had to show the corresponding receipt and the delivery service would deliver them to the school gate. He could pick them up then.
This is a tailor shop, where Jessica is preparing to make some suitable clothes for Caesar.
This seemed to be a clothing store that mainly provided customized clothing, located in an alley. There were not many customers in the store, and as soon as Dean Jessica walked in, someone came forward to serve her with a very respectful attitude.
"I'm not the one making clothes today. I'd like to tailor a few suitable clothes for the young man behind me. Do you have any good fabrics?" The dean could obviously be a regular customer. As soon as he walked into the store, someone came forward to serve him. While speaking, he personally started to work, carefully examining the fabrics hanging on the wall.
"Sir, please come this way." A female employee came up and took Caesar to measure the size.
"Please raise your hands." An employee took a tape measure to measure Nishize's chest circumference, and someone next to him was recording it at any time.
After measuring the size, I walked back to the old dean. Next to her stood a middle-aged lady with red hair, who was probably the owner of this store.
Seeing Caesar coming, she quickly asked, "What do you need?"
"Let's make the colors plainer, not too flashy." Caesar said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, what do you think of these fabrics?" the lady boss said. With a wave of her hand, several waiters came up with several batches of fabrics. "These ones here are better for lining. The materials feel more comfortable. What do you think?"
"Ah, well, pretty good." For Caesar, clothes are just what matters as long as they can be worn. If you ask him which armor is convenient for movement and which parts to pad with cotton to prevent the breastplate from rubbing and bleeding when moving, he would know, but clothes are really his blind spot.
Fortunately, the dean saw that Caesar didn't know much about these things, so he came up to negotiate in person, and gestured to Caesar with the cloth from time to time.
Just as a few people were choosing fabrics, someone else walked in from outside.
You can tell he is a noble by looking at his clothes.
A handsome middle-aged man walked in with a young girl, followed by two servants.
He first pretended to walk over casually, and then "just happened" to find Dean Jessica choosing fabrics here, so he walked over with a look of surprise and greeted her: "Hello, Ms. Jessica, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Hello, Mr. William." The old lady's expression was not very enthusiastic, she just raised her head and glanced at him.
“Are you buying clothes here?”
"Maybe I just want to have a quick meal here." The lady said unhappily, almost rolling her eyes at him.
"Haha, you're really humorous." Mr. William, who was treated coldly, was not angry. Instead, he pulled the girl behind him to the front and said, "Come on, Barry, say hello to Ms. Jessica."
This girl, like her father, had bright red hair, a pair of narrow eyes that now looked a little embarrassed, long eyelashes, a straight nose, and thin lips that were tightly pursed. Her facial features had both the three-dimensional beauty of a Westerner and the implicit beauty of an Oriental, like a cold and beautiful rose.
"Hello." The voice was also clear and pleasant.
Jessica's attitude towards the child was obviously much better, and a smile appeared on her face: "Hello, Barry, you still look so beautiful."
"Thank you." Rose replied.
"Our Barricka has admired you for a long time." The noble gentleman rubbed his hands and walked forward.
Ms. Jessica ignored him and turned to introduce the man who stood up: "This is Caesar, and he is also my disciple."
"Disciple? I've never heard you mention it before." He looked very surprised. "When did you accept a disciple?"
Barica behind him was also a little surprised and shifted her attention to Caesar.
"I collected it at the border about two years ago." The dean said calmly, "You've seen it too. If you're still looking for me about that matter, forget it. I'm a little busy now. I also need to buy some suitable clothes for Caesar."
"I am so rude, boss." Mr. William flicked his red hair and waved his right hand. The gemstones on his cuffs reflected the light under the magic lamp in the store, making him look a bit showy. "Please put these two people's consumption on my account!"
"Mr. Caesar is really a handsome man. He must have something extraordinary to be Ms. Jessica's disciple." He praised, but it was a bit conscienceless. Caesar thought about his plain clothes, the iron mask on his face, and his ordinary temperament. It really has nothing to do with being a handsome man, except that he is handsome? Caesar thought a little narcissistically.
"Thank you for the compliment. Miss Barricka is a shining pearl and will definitely be your pride in the future." Caesar also gave him a lot of flattery. As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, no matter how many times it is worn.
"No merit, no reward. I'll pay the bill myself. Although I'm old, I can still afford to buy two pieces of clothes for the children." Ms. Jessica's main performance was cold and she would not accept any benefits.
"Okay, okay, I respect your choice." William smiled bitterly.
"Speaking of which, my daughter, Barica, will also be studying at Phoenix University of Magic this year. She has long admired your Introduction to Magical Technology class. I'd like to trouble you to take good care of our Barica. She has never liked talking to others since she was a child, and she always likes to keep problems to herself."
"I will not bury any student with a thirst for knowledge. You can rest assured about that."
Caesar observed that when Mr. William was speaking, Barricka tugged at his clothes, as if trying to stop her father from continuing the conversation, but her quiet request seemed to be completely ignored by her father.
"Tonight is also my daughter Barry's sixteenth birthday ceremony. I wonder if you would be willing to attend and give her some encouragement as her idol? I know this may be a little presumptuous, but how about just treating it as a simple meal?"
Jessica noticed that Barica behind him looked quite embarrassed. If she refused again, she would probably have to find a place to cover her face.
"Tonight?"
"Yes, tonight at seven o'clock." Upon hearing this, William quickly took out an invitation from his coat pocket and handed it to Dean Jessica: "I hope Mr. Caesar can also attend my daughter's party."
"Take it, Caesar."
Caesar took the invitation from him, and the latter seemed quite happy.
"Then I will wait for you at home. We will leave now without disturbing you while you shop."
They had custom-made clothes in this store. The two maids went to pick up the clothes, which were quite nice dresses. After taking the clothes, they got into the carriage and left. They left as quickly as they came.
