The Cornflower Witch Chapter 182

After dealing with the wheat sales, Hylial went to an academy in the city and found Scholar Seraph’s office.

She lightly knocked on the door, and a response came from within.

“Please come in.”

Hylial entered the office and quickly surveyed the room, seeing a rotating orbital instrument in front of Seraph and stacks of books on his desk.

“Oh, it’s Lia,” Seraph said, taking off his special glasses and looking up.

“Are you here for class today?”

“Yes, Teacher Seraph,” Hylial replied, walking closer and standing before the desk.

“I’ll be studying with you from Tuesday to Thursday each week, and returning to the valley for the rest of the time.”

“No problem,” Seraph lightly tapped the desk with his finger.

“Since the Advanced Secret History class is specially set up for you, the class schedule is very flexible. You can have two sessions in the morning and two in the afternoon every day. After class, I will ask questions to check your learning progress.”

“Since you’ve set the time, I can now arrange the schedule for other courses.”

“Besides teaching you, many students from the Glittering Gold Plain also come to me for lessons, but their classes are scheduled according to their registered groups.”

“The timetable I showed you the other day is exactly how it’s arranged.”

“Previously, the association required courses to be redeemed with points, but this year the rule has changed. Those with insufficient points can directly pay in Gold Coins to study, with 1 Gold Coin equaling 1 point.”

“I see.” Hylial nodded, then thought of something interesting.

“I also want to enroll in a few extra courses.”

“Oh, which ones?” Seraph looked at her with interest.

“Fairy Language, Elven Language, Basic Runes, and Lobai’s Garden. These four.” Elves have done a lot of research on the Emerald Honey Aspect, and fairies are inherently related to Emerald Honey. If one wants to deeply study the path of the ‘Emerald Honey’ Aspect, the research history of both cannot be avoided.

As for Lobai’s Garden, it would allow Hylial to understand how gardeners cultivate crops in this transcendent world. Basic Runes, on the other hand, could be used in various fields, whether it’s creating transcendent artifacts, setting up magic arrays, or engraving common enchantment effects.

“That will be a total of 1960 Gold Coins. The previous reward can offset 1000 Gold Coins, meaning you still need to pay 960 Gold Coins, Lia.”

“If you don’t have enough savings, you can apply for a loan from the association. With your current credit and achievements, you can probably get a loan of about 3000 Gold Coins,” Seraph suggested.

“Also, as long as you join a large organization in the future, it’s highly likely you won’t have to repay this loan yourself.”

Loans. Thinking of this, Hylial quickly shook her head. She was a bit afraid of such things, perhaps due to some past trauma from her previous life.

Without debt, one feels light. Life is better when it’s easy.

“I will pay the tuition. You don’t need to worry about this for now, teacher.” Actually, she had saved quite a lot of money, and still had many treasures that had not been sold. If she sold them all, she could probably get a lot of money, enough for half a year of study.

“In that case, I won’t ask too many questions then.” The other party picked up his coffee and nodded, then remembered something else.

“Do you have your own place in the city?”

“Having your own house and room will be much more convenient for both studying and resting.”

“Not yet.”

“It just so happens that Sophiedina is also planning to move out, you two can look together.” Sophiedina was Seraph’s daughter, the same girl Hylial had met in the carriage that day.

“Alright,” the girl agreed, thinking it was indeed time to have a temporary place in Whitecliff City for daily classes and commuting. …

In the afternoon, Hylial met the familiar girl.

“Lia, sorry to keep you waiting.” She wore a fitted black dress, with only the sleeves and shoulders puffed, reminding the girl of Gothic styles from movies in her previous life.

Today, Sophiedina had her hair tied back, a delicate hairstyle adorned with black lace and pearls. She carried a small handbag, exuding the style of a noble maiden.

The two walked along the bustling streets of Whitecliff City, where many members of the Woodland came and went. Some carried weapons, others were here to purchase supplies, and some young students gathered, chatting and laughing along the way.

They first went to the city hall for renting houses, browsing various notices and information, while also discussing their situations.

“I used to live with my father at Rota Academy, which is one of the three major academic exchange centers in the Woodland, with many scholars and Mages,” Sophiedina explained.

“Mother is a witch, and usually doesn’t live with us, only occasionally coming to visit me.”

After hearing Sophiedina’s introduction, Hylial also spoke about her own situation.

“I don’t remember many things from before. Before coming to the Woodland, I lived with Teacher Faran, who is a very skilled Gardener.”

“Moreover, I also studied with Scholar Hyde for a long time in the local area.”

“Are you also 17, Lia? You seem to be about my height,” Sophiedina asked, a little curious.

“I guess so.” The girl lightly twirled a strand of her hair with her finger.

“If only I could remember what happened before.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine, I’m used to it. Sophiedina, did you study the ‘Mystic Words’ Aspect from childhood?”

“Yes, I was influenced by my father from a young age and read many books. Later, I naturally chose the ‘Mystic Words’ Aspect,” Sophiedina recalled as she walked.

“The ‘Mystic Words’ Aspect has many memory-related abilities, such as rapid reading, memorization, and even accelerated thinking. It offers great advantages for learning knowledge.”

“The transmission of some arcane abilities requires conveying certain indescribable ‘rhythms,’ ‘tempos,’ ‘sensations,’ etc., which can be achieved after reaching the higher tiers of the ‘Mystic Words’ Aspect.”

“Therefore, many organizations have ‘Mystic Words’ scholars specifically responsible for teaching arcane arts.”

“We can help high-tier Transcendent seal the learning tutorials and spell models of certain arcane arts into special containers, so that even if the person is not present, others can still learn, though the effect is not as good as direct instruction.”

“At the same time, ‘Mystic Words’ also has many abilities that can be used to analyze ancient artifacts and determine the authenticity of information trails.”

“Although its combat power is weak, it is a very good auxiliary ‘Aspect’,” Sophiedina explained skillfully, seeing Hylial’s curiosity about her own Aspect.

“How did you choose ‘Emerald Honey’ then, Lia? I saw in your data that your affinity for the Glorious Moon Aspect is also very high.”

“Ah… I guess I longed for that kind of leisurely pastoral life,” the girl replied after a moment of thought.

“Watching the flowers I carefully watered bloom little by little, and then bear fruit, would be something to look forward to and be happy about.”

After speaking, the two arrived at the city hall specializing in renting and trading houses, and began to search for suitable accommodation information.
