These guys have all morized it!
But when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight. This kind of exam is more about participation; anyway, he also has the Earl Hillfin's recomndation letter in his storage ring.
In deference to the Empire, the Academic State wouldn't let him fail the exam.
"I'm curious... what is Source Power?"
"It's the origin of matter! And it's the Holy Grail of the current Magic World!" Looking at the curious Mr. Colin, Finic continued with bright eyes, "The masters of the Academic State believe that all magical phenona originate from a cosmic foundational energy that transcends elents, light, and dark. And the Source Power filling the universe cos from a place called the Void Realm."
It sounds a bit like the "Ether" theory.
Hell actually has a similar theory, just a bit more academic, with relatively weaker practical value. After all, if it's pure destructive power you're after, fire is undeniably the most straightforward; an abstract matter can't compete, not even other elents appear too weak in terms of damage.
Watching Mr. Colin, who was deep in thought, Finic continued with great anticipation.
"By the way, Mr. Colin, have you decided which Mage Tower to apply for? I'm planning to apply to the Tower of Great Sage, it's said their educational and material resources are the richest among all the Mage Towers!"
"I... I'm still thinking."
Luo Yan wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, pondered for a mont, then leisurely said, "But from what you've said, the Holy Power School Tower seems to fit my mysterious temperant."
Taufu, hiding in his cloak, couldn't help but snort.
Mysterious?
More like a charlatan!
Unlike Taufu's inner disdain, Finic was taken aback by "Colin's" words, then he solemnly said.
The Holy Power School researches the connection between Holy Prayer and faith, and it's the magic branch most closely linked to the Imperial Church!
Those who choose it are undoubtedly individuals with devout faith in the Holy Light and noble character, as sinister people cannot receive Saint Sis's blessing.
"I see!" Finic admired sincerely, "Mr. Colin indeed has an aura that is reassuring! No wonder you made such a choice!"
Taufu wanted to continue laughing, but his tail was gently stepped on by Sarah's boot, so he could only hold back and keep silent under the cloak.
At this ti, Finic seed to make so decision, taking out a slightly crumpled bounty order from his pocket, laying it flat on the table.
He originally decided to give up on this commission, after all, their journey was almost at an end here.
They beca adventurers only to earn tuition and travel expenses; they weren't like those adventurers living near the maze who made a living from it and had to balance risk and reward.
"... Mr. Colin, since your heart is inclined to the Holy Light, you might be interested in this."
He pointed to the words on the bounty order and ventured to say, "This is a commission we took when we passed by the adventurer guild: Pompeii Village in Eagle Rock Territory was attacked by an Undead Mage. The local mill master issued a bounty of fifty silver coins. If you are willing to join us, we can share thirty with you afterward; it's not much, but it is a token of our appreciation."
Luo Yan's gaze fell on the bounty order, his indifferent eyes showing little interest, yet the corners of his lips curled into an almost imperceptible arc.
Speaking of which, he had never seen a "wild" Undead Mage in this world; his players claid to have encountered a few.
The Undead system in Hell was ford under strict rules and ancient traditions; the birth of each Witch Demon could be traced.
And this "Fallen" who evolved away from Hell's traditional system and on their own on the Earth's surface was undoubtedly an excellent research sample or point of interest for him.
As for the reward of thirty silver coins, he automatically ignored it.
Luo Yan contemplated for a mont, then t Finic's expectant gaze and said warmly.
"Sure, I'll join."
Seeing Luo Yan agree readily, the four of Finic showed uncontrollable joy on their faces.
For their fledgling "rookie" team, having a seemingly unfathomable strong person join was undoubtedly adding massive insurance for this dangerous mission.
"Great, Mr. Colin!" Finic rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then we..."
"No rush." Luo Yan raised his hand, smiling as he motioned for him to sit, "Let's eat first. You'll need a full stomach to face the undead."
He pushed the fragrant roasted lamb chops to the center of the table and ordered four more of the sa dishes and several hot drinks from the bartender.
This generous move made the four cash-strapped young people even more grateful.
They awkwardly thanked him, devouring what might be their most sumptuous dinner in months.
With a al's worth of ti, their relationships grew closer. Except for Sarah, who didn't partake in the conversation, simply waiting quietly by Luo Yan's side.
As for Taufu, he was a dragon who, on his master's orders, couldn't speak in front of people and could only focus on the food on his plate.
The four adventurers were seeing the legendary species for the first ti and didn't expect a young dragon could be kept as a pet!
Thinking of the legendary protective instincts of dragons, their eyes looking at Colin were filled with greater admiration, his upright figure suddenly becoming more profound and unfathomable.
