Going up the narrow steps, Sylutia followed Lady Medisa to the second floor. There is a spacious living room with black and white sofas and coffee tables. There are light blue porcelain vases on the side, as well as several oil paintings and wooden clothes racks for hanging clothes.
It can be seen that this is where Lady Medisa usually holds salons and other gatherings. There will be no one here, so it seems a bit quiet.
"Feel free to sit down." She walked in front, letting Sylutia sit first, and then brought a pot of lemon tea with rock sugar from the cabinet at the back.
"Your name is Hedra, right." After placing it on the table, she sat down against the sofa, crossing her legs.
"Yes."
"Want to learn Mage?"
"Yes." After hearing the affirmative answer, Medisa looked at Sylutia for a long time. Seeing that her eyes were clear and she did not dodge or waver, she then fiddled with the cigarette pot and took a small puff.
"It's rare. Most of Merchant City Union young people would not think of traveling so far away to study."
"Can you tell me the reason?"
"Probably because of curiosity about novel and powerful things." Sylutia explained.
"The thoughts of young people, giggle." Medisa raised a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, but the keen Sylutia still noticed a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Mage Alliance is indeed very powerful and very energetic. You can see many new things and things there. Living there, you often have the illusion that the times are advancing under your feet." Medisa said slowly.
"When I was young, I was similar to you. I was obsessed with the feeling of breaking the old constraints, being free and open, and following the path of truth."
"Logically speaking, I should always stay there, just like a woman who is passionate about fashion trends should stay at the forefront."
"But in the end, I was still tired. You can understand that as a person gets older, he no longer wants to be so tired chasing new things. He just wants to hold the nostalgic memories, sit under the sunset, and grow old slowly."
"The price of rapid development and rise is that many old things disappear quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the people you are familiar with have changed one by one."
"It seems that I said some nonsense, haha, okay, since you want to go, let me introduce you in detail the ways to study there."
"First of all, you have to be "Castle·Secret Speech·Gold Steam". Transcendent, one of the three Aspect Power, must have at least First Order. Secondly, you must pass Mage Alliance's assessment will involve all aspects, such as whether you have basic critical thinking skills, arithmetic, language and writing, etc. After passing the exam, you will get a white card with your name and identity printed on it, and then go to the basic school on the Mage Alliance border to report, where teachers will give free lessons for three months."
"If you pass the assessment after three months, you will be given a blue card. With this, you have passed the threshold and can enter the Academy District report inside the Mage Alliance. Most of the new students gather in "" In the three regions Gemoxiu""Mirne""Asura", there are nearly a million new students there together. They will live and study there until they pass the exam of a certain Academy and officially become one of them."
"The Academy I'm talking about are the universities opened by various Mage Alliance schools. The strength of each Academy is comparable to the kingdoms of the outside world. The number of Mage above the third level They range from a hundred to a few thousand, among which the three most powerful Academy are comparable in strength to the empire. They have more than five thousand official Mage, as well as "Named One" that can affect the balance of the continent."
"These Academy are each responsible for the exploration and research of truth in different directions. They are like huge skeletons, forming the huge roaring machine Mage Alliance. Under each Academy, There are also many workshops, these workshops are opened by the powerful Mage, which will absorb low-level Mage and personnel to complete orders or tasks issued by the Academy or the outside world, etc."
"There, you can see machines Dragon flying through the sky, steam trains shuttling through the mountains, and many sophisticated bronze machines Doll. It is where the richest Fourth Continent people gather, and it is also the most luxurious and prosperous area. Of course, under the appearance of prosperity, there is also an equal degree of darkness. It depends on whether you can accept and adapt to it."
"If you don't want to go to the border of the Mage Alliance and learn basic basic knowledge with ordinary people in those low and dilapidated houses, you can study on your own, and then go directly to the Mage Alliance. They will give you a more difficult test. As long as you pass, you can also get a blue card, and then go to Academy District, and start from there."
"I suggest you take this path directly. If you can't even pass the entrance examination, then you might as well give up and just be a rich young lady here Quebes and live a simple life."
"I understand, thank you Lady Medisa for your guidance." Sylutia gently pressed his chest with his hand and bent down to thank him.
"I wonder if you can recommend a suitable teacher for me?"
"Teacher... I think about it, it seems that I really know someone. He lives by the seaside Lighthouse. He is a man of few words but solid knowledge."
"Teaching you is definitely enough, but I don't know if I am willing to accept a student. After all, he doesn't like noisy people."
"I will help you prepare a fruit basket, and then choose a sunny afternoon to take you to visit him. If everything goes well, you will probably be able to become a disciple. If the other party does not agree, then you can only ask Alanfude to find another candidate for you."
"I understand, thank you Lady Medisa."
"Go, go." After saying that, Lady Medisa sent Sylutia downstairs.
At this moment, Mrs. Haye had returned to the store and complained quietly to Alanfude, which probably meant that she thought the perfume was too expensive.
"Eliel have never used anything so expensive..."
"I understand, madam, don't worry, my love for Eliel will not be less." Alanfude had to comfort Mrs. Haye. When she saw Sylutia walking downstairs, she raised her hand to greet her.
"Hedra, how was your chat with Lady Medisa?" He blinked.
"It was a good chat. Lady Medisa told me a lot about perfume." Sylutia nodded.
"That's good. I think it's getting late, so why don't we go to lunch first."
"Yes, uncle."
After that, the three said goodbye to Lady Medisa and left.
After Sylutia left, Medisa sat in the room on the second floor again, smoking alone and looking at the blue sky outside.
It seemed that she hadn't chatted like this with young people for a long time. She recalled some past events thirty years ago. At that time, she was studying at Academy District with a group of young girls, and they shared ways to save money.
Those days of poverty but high spirits, pressure but also light happiness, are like yellowing old photos, slowly unfolding in memories.
"Is it already such a distant memory..."
