The next day, Cody set out on his way back to Barton College, but it was different from when he came. When he went back, he took the carriage arranged for him by Coffey. Although Coffey's money was basically looted by Moses, but There are still some left. After all, he is the prince's son. The prince's palace also has many properties in Bol City. As long as the amount is not large, Kofi can go to the store to withdraw some money in advance at any time. Even the hotel where he slept last night was arranged by Kofi.
It was already late when they left Zangyue Pavilion last night, but Cody and Coffey still went to the pub under the name of the Prince's Mansion for a big drink. Moses, who was addicted to alcohol, paid the money he needed to take the water soul staff and left in a hurry with the staff. He wanted to go back to the palace and report to the king as soon as possible about what happened tonight. It was also today that Cody learned that money was not necessarily needed to pay. It was also possible to use a few crystal cards with different numbers imprinted on them. He had never heard of it before, and he was also planning to see how Moses paid the five hundred thousand gold coins. , it can’t be just a truckload of gold coins or amethyst coins, who knows it can be solved with just a few crystal cards.
Under Moses' contemptuous explanation, Cody also knew that these cards were called crystal cards, which were issued by a bank and were specially used to trade large amounts of money that was difficult to carry. Different numbers are imprinted on the crystal card, ranging from a thousand to a million. The crystal card has the bank's special anti-counterfeiting mark, which cannot be copied by others. When you need money, you only need to take the crystal card to the bank to exchange it.
Cody understood this time. No wonder he had never seen or heard of it. The smallest crystal card started with one thousand gold coins, so it was not surprising. Not only himself, but maybe even his father had never owned one. Only the mother should be in charge of these crystal cards at home.
The carriage staggered along the road, and an hour later, it stopped in front of the gate of Barton College. The coachman driving the horse turned around and got into the carriage, and said to the sleeping Cody: "Mr. Cody, Barton College is here."
After being woken up, Cody opened his eyes in a daze, wiped his mouth and walked out of the car. The scorching sun in the sky made him unable to open his eyes. After rubbing his eyes hard several times, he made sure that he had arrived at Barton College, and then said to the groom: "Excuse me, thank Coffey for me when you get back."
The groom hurriedly said: "No trouble, it's my honor to see Mr. Cody off. After I go back, I will express your gratitude to Master Cody. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Cody showed his access certificate to the guard standing at the gate. The guard had just read it yesterday and was still checking the certificate carefully to make sure everything was correct before letting Cody in. However, the access certificate was not returned. Cody.
Because of Catwoman, Cody didn't sleep well all night. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would dream that the Monru family had been captured, locked up like Catwoman, and sold as goods at auctions. Although I am too sleepy to open my eyes now, I still plan to go to Master Gan to report that I have completed the task, but I don’t know whether Master Gan is in the alchemy room or the attic. After thinking about it, Cody planned to go to the alchemy room first. Even if Master Gan was not here, it would be convenient for him to catch up on his sleep there. He had his own room there, but he could only sleep in the study in the attic.
I struggled to drag the knight sword to the alchemy room. Fortunately, it was basically difficult to see people in the academy, especially in a remote place like the alchemy room. Otherwise, if other people see Cody holding a sword, they will definitely think that he is crazy. A good magician, instead of holding a staff, holds a knight's sword. It is like wearing straw sandals and a top hat.
Soon he arrived at the alchemy room. Cody knocked on the door hard several times. After receiving no response, he pushed the door open and went in. As expected, Master Gan was not there. But now that he was terribly sleepy, Cody didn't want to go around to the attic anymore. The alchemy room was still quite a distance away, and he really couldn't bear it. He returned to his room and threw himself straight on the bed.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but Cody was woken up. He opened his eyes and looked outside through the window. It was already dark. Master Gan, who woke him up, was sitting on a clean stool, playing with the knight's sword in his hand.
Seeing that Cody was awake, he said without raising his head: "Is this knight's sword forged by Galar?"
"Yes, teacher, this was given to me by Galal." Cody did not hide anything. After he gave the hammer to Galal, the story of how Galal gave him the knight sword remained intact. Tell Master Gan.
Master Gan put the knight's sword back into its scabbard, looked at Cody and said, "Then do you know why Galal gave you this sword?"
Cody nodded and said: "Teacher who knows, he is interested in my identity as an alchemist, or it is because of you that he gave me this sword."
Throwing the knight sword back to Cody, he stood up and said: "It's good to know, just so you know how popular the alchemist is with others. But next time you accept a gift, I hope it's because of your own ability, not Because you are my disciple."
"Okay teacher, I will definitely not embarrass you." After promising, seeing Master Gan about to leave, Cody thought for a moment and said: "Wait a minute, teacher, I have something else to tell you."
Master Gan stopped and turned back to look at Cody doubtfully. Cody thought for a moment, and then told Master Gan what happened last night, but he didn't mention some unimportant auction items, they were all insignificant things. I don't know why, but even though it was a matter that had nothing to do with him, Cody still focused on talking about the auction of Catwoman, and of course Moses' identity and his attitude towards this matter.
After hearing this, Master Gan took a moment and said: "I know the identity of Moses. It's not a secret, but he himself doesn't want to show it off, so basically the students in the academy don't know his identity. As for other things, let's talk about it for the time being. It doesn’t matter to you, so don’t think too much about it.”
After saying that, Master Gan left, but came back immediately and said: "Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow that old boy Sfulin will bring me something again. After breakfast tomorrow, he will still be at the same place. This time my bet is Don’t screw up the Brahman bracelet he lost to me before.”
When the door closed after Master Gan left, Cody dug out a piece of bread he had left under the bed to fill his stomach. At this time, there was no place to eat in the academy. But thinking about the competition waiting for him tomorrow, Cody was secretly excited. In previous competitions, as long as Master Gan won a good bet, he would give himself generous rewards. I don't know what he will be rewarded this time. Anyway, it’s just that guy Garcia, the worst he can do is give him another beating.
After eating a whole piece of bread and drinking a large glass of water, Cody, who was finally not so hungry, continued to fall asleep with satisfaction, dreaming about beating Garcia.
The next day, Cody rarely got up early, took an unprecedented shower, put on the magic robe that he had not worn for a long time, took his staff and walked out of the alchemy room. The most important thing now was to fill his stomach first. A piece of bread last night was not enough for me, but in the middle of the night, all I dreamed about was that I was so hungry that I ate Garcia.
As soon as Cody appeared in the cafeteria, although his hairstyle had changed, many people still recognized him because of his strong physique. Seeing him striding towards him, in order to prevent themselves from suffering, they all took the initiative to make way for him. Cody walked in the middle with his head raised and liked this feeling. There are so many magicians here who want to tear themselves into pieces, but they can only gnash their teeth and have nothing to do with themselves.
"Cody, we're here, come here. Huh? Where's your hair?"
Cody had just finished preparing his breakfast when he heard Zoro's excited voice. He followed the sound and saw Brother Zoro sitting with another student. Zoro was waving towards him. It had been a long time since he had seen the Solo brothers, but Cody still missed the brothers who had been with him all the way. He walked to their table and sat down, saying: "Don't mention it, I have suffered under the teacher during this time, and my hair has burned out. "Cody has no intention of telling them about his alchemy. There is no need to show off some things now. Waiting until you become famous is the best way to show off.
The original Cody had long, slightly curly hair and looked aristocratic, a proper young master. However, the short hair now is not ugly, but looks more capable. Coupled with his figure, taking off the magic robe and putting on fancy clothes, no one will doubt that he is a warrior.
Solo suddenly asked: "By the way, haven't you been at Master Gan's place all the time? Why did you come to the cafeteria to eat today?"
Cody stuffed something in his mouth and said vaguely: "What can be the reason? The teacher made a bet with Master Sfulin again. I have to go there after breakfast. Let's go for a walk. After digestion, I will beat that boy Garcia." .”
Knowing that Cody had been competing with Garcia on various things in the past two years, it was not surprising to hear this now. Instead, Jeter said excitedly: "Cody, why not beat him up again like last time?" alright."
Seeing that Jet was not afraid of trouble, Cody said helplessly: "Forget it, Master Sfulin wanted to kill me when I beat him last time. If he does it again, I'm afraid he will really die. By the way, this Who is that?" After Cody finished speaking, he looked at the strange young man opposite.
Zoro pointed at the young man and said: "His name is Jimmy, and he is also a disciple of the teacher. He came to the academy more than a year later than us. Speaking of which, we are very destined. We were both accepted as disciples by the teacher, and we are both civilians. Jimmy, He’s the Cody I told you about.”
Jimmy looked very shy, and immediately shrank his head after being glanced at by Cody, but he still stood up, stretched out his hand, looked at Cody and said, "Hello Cody."
Cody stood up, shook hands with his outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "Hello Jimmy, don't be so nervous. I can't eat people. We will be friends from now on. If you need help with anything, just ask. alright."
"Yeah." Jimmy quickly took his hand out of Cody's hand, responded timidly, and sat down again with his head lowered, not daring to look at Cody.
Jet was afraid that Cody would be unhappy, so he quickly said: "Cody, don't worry about it. Jimmy has this kind of character. He is afraid of everyone he sees and speaks in a low voice."
Cody waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, you two weren't much better than him at the beginning."
After a hurried breakfast, Cody said goodbye to them. The three of Solo still have to go to their teacher to study, which is not the same direction as where Cody is going. Cody pulled a piece of grass on the side of the road and held it in his mouth, humming a song that was not in tune. All he could think about was how he would deal with Garcia next. It sounds easy, but the boy's strength is really not bad. Although Cody only lost once, he didn't win much better than him. Especially the last time the two of them dueled for the first time. If I hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood and used methods beyond the scope of magic, it's really not sure who would have stood in the end.
Arriving at the old place, Cody thought he had arrived early enough, but saw Master Gan already standing there from a distance, and was so frightened that he ran over. When he arrived in front of Master Gan, he quickly said: "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late."
Master Gan glanced at Cody and said calmly: "It's not too late, that old guy hasn't come yet. Oh? I can't mention it, he will come as soon as he mentions it."
In the distance, Master Sfulin came in a hurry, followed by Garcia and a young man. Before they arrived, a voice rang out: "Gan, what are you doing here so early, old man? You can't wait to get the Brahma bracelet." Did you give it back to me?"
Master Gan sneered after hearing this and said: "I would like to give it back to you, but this bracelet has become accustomed to me, and I'm afraid it doesn't want to suffer from your cowardice. After all, it's not just people, even magic weapons. Just follow an old scoundrel."
Although Master Gan rarely talks, whenever he meets Sfulin, he always turns into a poisonous snake, leaving Sfulin speechless every time.
Sfulin snorted coldly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, you will know who is the coward later." Then he said to Cody: "Kid, remember, this is a magic competition, don't do it like last time. Otherwise, you lose." Sfulin made it clear in advance about Cody, who was even more rogue than himself. Otherwise, he is really afraid that Cody will attack directly again. With Cody's skills, if he rushes forward with the magic, as long as he succeeds, his disciple will definitely not be his opponent.
Cody said awkwardly that he knew. Just now he was thinking that if Sfulin didn't say this, he would beat Garcia again, but now he has no chance.
Sfulin snorted and continued: "The rules have changed a bit this time. In addition to magic, you can also use magic weapons and staffs, but you are not allowed to use magic scrolls. No problem."
Master Gan frowned and said displeased: "This is unreasonable. You didn't tell me in advance when changing the rules. If you prepared superior magic weapons and staffs for your disciples in advance, it would be nothing. Cody should just admit defeat." .”
Sfulin knew that Master Gan would have objections and explained: "No, although you can use magic weapons, you can only use two at most, and whether it is a magic weapon or a staff, you can only use the most basic ones. If anyone uses If the item exceeds this range, whoever loses will be judged as the loser. How about this rule is enough. You have already given Cody the staff before, and as for the magic weapon, I don’t believe Cody doesn’t have it.”
"That's okay, go ahead Cody, don't embarrass me." Master Gan agreed after thinking for a moment. This is indeed fair. Cody has the magic weapon himself. Although it is very common, it is better than Cody. Di made it himself, and he couldn't be more familiar with what he was already familiar with. If I gave him a new magic weapon temporarily, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get used to it.
Cody walked to the center and raised his finger provocatively at Garcia, who was looking at him with a smirk. As a result, Garcia did not move. Instead, another young man walked directly to the opposite side of Cody and said to Cody: "My name is Jacks. Please give me your advice."
Seeing this scene, Master Gan glared at Sfulin, who looked like he was succeeding in his treacherous plan, and said dissatisfied: "Old man, what do you mean by this? Isn't it a competition between Garcia and Cody?"
Sfulin spread his hands with a scoundrel look on his face and said, "I just said that my disciple will compete with your disciple. I didn't specify that it would be Garcia."
Cody looked at Jacks with a confused look on his face, what was going on. Why has the person changed? The big brother in front of me doesn't seem to be as easy to mess with as Garcia.
