The exchange students never expected that the first big problem when they came to the penal colony was not the ethnic conflict with the locals, but the fellows from the main world.
On the last day of the deadline, they asked for leave from the college and did not even attend class. They were divided into two groups, one to continue persuading the group of people, and the other to inquire about the situation abroad in the college.
There are many sponsored students in the college, and most of them are from abroad. It can be said that most of the basic information about the entire penal colony can be obtained from the college.
It would be better if I didn't ask, but it would be much worse if I did.
If you are not a professional in the exile, the best choice is the Phoenix Kingdom, followed by Ongi, and then Fatel, but these two are all orc kingdoms, and ordinary humans have no other choice but to be slaves. . The snow-capped mountains further south are also fine. They don't have many people kidnapping slaves there, because it's difficult to even feed themselves.
In short, they refused to disclose whether there are professionals in this group of people. From the students' observation of the body details, they should be mostly dancers or craftsmen. They are just dishes everywhere, just waiting for guys who are interested in the appearance of the human form to come and cause trouble. .
So when we met again in the evening, we came to this conclusion: "I think it would be better to stay and go to jail than to be sent abroad... What do you think?"
The people responsible for persuading that day were the top two leaders of the School of Life and Belanger, a fourth-ring student from the Fountain of Youth Academy.
All three of them were a little tired, because their main task today was to try to gain trust through magic demonstrations.
Belanger sighed: "No, he has used [Rebirth of Broken Limbs], but it doesn't work."
There are several kinds of spells with the effect of regenerating severed limbs. They are basically four-ring and five-ring spells, but specifically for the Academy of Life, it is a three-ring magic that has almost no requirements for the patient. As long as he is not born with it, Even limbs that have been broken for several years can grow back.
One of the most important tasks brought to the exile by the School of Life is to test the effects of magical magic. The answer is that it can be used, but as the threshold increases, the effect is weakened.
The difficulty of casting the three-ring divine spell here is close to that of the fourth-ring resurrection. Although the caster has seemingly grown out his stump, he can't control it very well. I don't know if it will get better in a few days.
"There is nothing we can do to convince these guys in a short time. Do we really want to see them go to jail?"
"A few days in jail is fine."
"But if he is transferred to a regular prison, he will be locked up with local prisoners."
"..."
"That's better than going overseas and becoming slaves. At least we can still find them when we go back. Ask if we can take some back."
The School of Life side is still hesitant, and the Fountain of Youth side are all nobles. After being tortured for a few days, they no longer want to care about the living standards of these gadgets. As long as they can basically guarantee their survival, they are taken care of.
There were too many uncertainties to be faced after being sent overseas. In the end, both parties reluctantly reached an agreement and went to jail.
Following this line, I went to the military to communicate early the next morning and got some information.
The reason for being imprisoned is "obstructing official business." Since there is no harm to public facilities and people, he is sentenced to 15 days of detention. However, this is not the upper limit, because if you want to be released from prison, you have to sign a document in the end. If you don't sign, you will always be detained for obstructing. Repeated detention for official duties.
Taking into account the special circumstances and in order to reduce the waste of incarceration resources, they will not go to the detention center, but will be sent to Nanzhen Prison. The main reason here is that the detention center does not have a labor reform system. These people can still earn some change while in prison. Life will be better after he is released from prison.
There are even more bizarre situations inside!
"What? You want us to pay? That's outrageous!" Upon hearing the news, female student Beni was a little dumbfounded.
"But detention does cost them extra manpower and food. For them, deportation is the best way to deal with it."
After discussion, a group of students decided to split the money in half. The students in the School of Life had little money and could only write IOUs and pay them back after a while.
This situation was a bit outrageous on the students' side, but it was only when I raised the money that I realized that others were still giving me preferential treatment.
Calculated for a single person, each 15-day incarceration period costs 8 yuan. The average daily cost is similar to that of a cheap hotel with meals. Moreover, there are also disabled people in this group of fellow villagers, so management will be more worrying.
The total cost of one phase was more than 600 yuan, which was divided half and half between the two colleges, and then was divided between the students of the School of Life, which only cost more than 600 yuan each. This required signing of IOUs or currency conversion.
The Phoenix Kingdom does not accept money from the main world. Students have also consulted. The magic crystals and gems here are extremely cheap. It is not cost-effective to sell the magic resources used for emergencies. They can only exchange precious metals for money. The School of Life was really unprepared when they left. How much precious metal.
I had to pay back the money I owed, and it was always a bad idea to wait until I returned to the academy. After asking about the situation, I decided to go to a barefoot doctor after much discussion.
They thought about making money, and the several people at Fountain of Youth Academy became more and more angry.
The fee of 320 yuan for 4 students is not much, but it is only for a 15-day period. If you want to keep them in detention until they go home, it will take anywhere from one to two years. Maybe there are other changes and you have to wait for updates. How many issues are there?
The landowner’s family has no food left.
The key point is that although the party in prison may sound like a fellow villager, we are not from the same country, and we don’t even speak the same common language. It’s okay to lend a helping hand by the way. You can’t turn into a sheep and be played with by others. If this is the case How can we still save hundreds or even thousands of people from the Phoenix Kingdom? The money the hotel makes is simply not enough.
"We can't keep paying this money, we still have to ask them to sign it and get it out."
"Their attitude is totally useless in persuading me."
"... Let it dry for a while first."
The previous three days of communication have yielded absolutely no results. We can only help the fellow villagers adapt to the real prison life. Maybe being locked up with mixed-race criminals can change some of their minds. At least some of them can be persuaded and they can be given an identity and something to do. Go and toss.
Make a plan for the time being and focus on learning and communication.
In the previous month, they had been familiar with the course model of Black Forest College and tried to understand their teaching and learning logic.
According to the exchange plan, in addition to providing supplementary courses, we also have to help with compilation work. The things that need to be translated are the materials of Fountain of Youth Academy.
If you put in the effort, there will naturally be corresponding rewards. They can participate or set up their own interest groups according to their own interests, and conduct targeted research. As long as the loss of magic materials is reasonable, it will be reimbursed by Black Forest Academy.
The exchange students also stepped on a little trap here.
The documents related to the exchange were signed early, and they didn't even know the value of the Phoenix Coin at that time. They heard that the experimental materials could be reimbursed after the interest group was established, and they even offered to waive their salary in exchange for more magic material quota.
Looking back now, I think this change was a huge loss. In addition to Belanger, there are two four-ring graduates from the School of Life. The combined monthly salary of a group of people can exceed 20,000, which is enough to buy several kilograms of gold. !
Although the Black Forest side did not say that the exchange plan cannot be adjusted, the students are facing the first formal academic exchange of magic in the main world in hundreds of years or more. They represent the Fountain of Youth Academy and the entire Church of Life. Everyone It’s all about saving face.
In short, I still have enough money, and I can make some money at the mountaintop hotel, so I won't consider taking a salary for the time being.
