Witcher's Atelier

Ban Ade is a city that relies on the Mage Academy and relies on mages and mage apprentices as its core competitiveness to maintain the operation of the commodity economy.

Mages provide magic items to merchants for sale, and merchants provide the materials needed by mages. It is known as the three major distribution centers of magic items along with Gosvelen and Novigrad.

Compared with Ardkalai, its walls are not high, but it does not need high walls. Mages are the guardians of this city.

It was almost noon when the fee was paid to enter the city. The boy took out the sunglasses he bought in the Ardkalai market and gave them to Lambert to wear, and then wrapped the silver sword with cloth and put it on the horse.

In this way, the two dusty travelers did not receive any strange eyes or difficulties along the way, and successfully booked a room at the "Lame Hank" tavern.

It was a terrible time, and there were lame people everywhere.

The two ordered food and ate it at the table in the room. They ate two herb roast chickens, a large pot of mashed potatoes, a bottle of wine and a pot of milk.

After eating and drinking, Lambert patted his stomach and said, "Go directly to the Mage Academy?"

Victor squeezed two towels, threw one on the witcher's face, and wiped his own face with the other.

"Let's go!" He immediately knew whether his dream could be realized.

...

They did not ride horses, but chose to walk. Walking through the streets and alleys, he could vaguely hear the hawking of various commodities. Lambert was of course accustomed to it, but Victor was very interested.

"Come and see, the incredible magic lock, the lock that can only be opened with a secret password!"

"That respectable lady, come and see what I sell!"

"Sir, have you heard of the eternal fire?"

"Everyone come, come! There are only three magic boxes that can play music automatically!"

"Don't think about it anymore, buy it! There is no cheaper than mine north of the Pontar River."

Some words can indeed transcend time and space.

...

Banard Mage Academy is located in the city center. Although it is called the Mage Academy, it is actually a comprehensive institution. It also provides educational resources for subjects such as writing, computing, law, and engineering.

The outer perimeter is surrounded by red brick walls, and the interior is composed of multiple Gothic buildings. Looking in from the door, the grandeur is no less than the Kaedwen Palace complex overlooking from Ardkale.

"I'll take you here, go in by yourself. Mages and witchers don't like each other, so I won't go in." Lambert stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and the magic array at the entrance made the wolf badge tremble.

After a pause, Victor was about to speak, but was interrupted by accident.

"Magic is above! Look what I see? A witcher!?" The person who spoke was wearing a purple velvet tunic and a short jacket decorated with black sable fur. He sat on the saddle and stared at the vibrating wolf badge on Lambert's chest.

He glanced at Victor casually: "With his apprentice."

Lambert put on a standard stinky face and did not respond.

Then, unexpectedly, ignoring the disgust that almost overflowed from Lambert's face, the wizard slowly and noblely dismounted from his horse and introduced himself: "Hello, gentlemen, I am Master Dorrigare - the magician."

It would be very rude not to respond to the other party's self-introduction of his name, and in a place like Banard, being rude to a wizard will inevitably cost you something.

So the witcher shrugged: "Master Lambert, the witcher."

The boy was a little speechless, but he continued to say: "Master Victor, the alchemist."

It was obvious that Dorrigare appreciated this slight but not excessive irony. He laughed out loud and even nodded slightly to Victor to apologize for misunderstanding his identity.

He said: "White Wolf. Geralt of Rivia is my friend, may he rest in peace."

"May he rest in peace." Lambert and Victor said at the same time.

The wizard continued, "I owe him a favor.

So, Wolf School witcher Lambert and...alchemist, what do you have to do in Banard? I believe I can help." The wizard tried to be friendly, but his slightly raised chin and arrogant tone showed that he was not good at this.

Lambert glanced at Victor and confirmed his eyes: "I am here with Victor. He hopes to become a wizard." After thinking for a while, he added: "He is also familiar with the white wolf."

Hearing this answer, the great wizard smiled strangely: "Is that so? Want to become a wizard. Well, please follow me!"

He did not get on the horse, but led the horse into the gate and walked straight along the road to the tallest wizard tower in the middle of the courtyard.

At first, the two travelers followed him and didn't feel anything, but as he moved forward, the students who passed by naturally avoided the road and bowed to greet him. Monkey also knew that something was wrong.

"What is your status in the academy?" Victor approached and asked respectfully, and quietly changed to a respectful title.

The smile on the Archmage's face became more and more obvious. "Archmage Dorrigare is the dean of Banard Academy. He has been in office since the coup on Senid Island. It has been almost two years. You don't even know this?"

This is really embarrassing... But Victor really didn't know. He didn't expect to meet a big shot. He just wanted to participate in the entrance examination to try. If he really has the talent to enter the school, he will know what he should know.

But he never thought that the legacy of the witcher predecessor was so profound that he could make the dean of the Mage Academy step down and personally lead people in.

Seemingly understanding the boy's embarrassment, the mage said no more and led the two of them to the mage's tower. He opened the tower door with a wave of his hand and the three of them walked into the tower.

…

"Mage, wizard, and warlock have different terms, but they all refer to the same kind of person, a spellcaster who masters chaotic energy.

Air, fire, earth, water flow, which elemental power do you sense? Or are you the source of magic yourself, and have you ever experienced signs of magic madness? "

Dorregaray asked the two of them to sit down in the living room, and after asking for advice, he conjured Datura vodka for Lambert and milk for Victor, pretending to have a deep conversation, and then asked a question that made Victor choke with embarrassment. .

The young man could only make a dull face: "I'm sorry, I don't have any sense, nor have my magic power gone crazy. I just don't want to believe that I have no talent, so I want to verify it."

Obviously this answer left the Archmage speechless.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and opened the cupboard, and several instruments floated out. "Then let's test it out!"

after a while…….

"Sorry, it's a pity that you don't have the qualifications to become a mage." The well-dressed archmage put on a regret mask for business, and his beard and hair curled up and down, as if he was really disappointed.

In fact, the Archmage was indeed a little disappointed and dissatisfied. He originally thought he could repay Geralt for his help during the coup on Sunide Island, but he didn't expect that the two of them were just joking...

No, originally they just wanted to test it out, but they felt the gap because they had wrong expectations.

Thinking of this, the dean suddenly felt much calmer: "Although you can't become a mage, Banade's humanities department is one of the few excellent education in mainland China. If you intend to become a clerk or a lawyer, I can write a letter of recommendation for you to enroll."

The mage's gentle words announced that Victor's dream was over and there was no chance of reversal.

"I hope you understand that Master Academy never rejects talented children. This sentence also means that we cannot accept children without talent.

Victor, there are no traces of magic surge on your body at all. You are a perfectly ordinary, normal person. "

Thank you for every collection, every recommendation, and every word of encouragement.
