Episode 3: The Devil Beast Mountain Range Chapter 2: Stone Carving Works (below)

Waltrip Hotel.

According to Yale’s words, “Only today did I realize that Lao San is actually a stone carving expert, I should celebrate properly, let’s go, go to the Waldry Hotel.”

Just like that, the four of them stepped into the Waldry Hotel, and as soon as they stepped into the Waldry Hotel, many of the cadets in the first floor of the hotel turned their heads to look at them.

The vast majority of the trainees’ gazes coalesced on Linley.

Dixie, Linley!

The two most dazzling supreme geniuses of the Ernst Academy were the center of attention wherever they went. Many of the cadets in the distance couldn’t help but whisper about them.

The four brothers sat down, the dishes had just been set out – ”Squeak the ‘Bebe’ who had been sleeping lazily emerged from the mouth of Linley’s outer robes with his little head, a pair of eyes dripping with ghostly ingenuity staring at an oily and shiny roasted chicken on the table, and Reno immediately grabbed the roasted chicken and handed it to the little shadow mouse, “Bebe, come.”

“Boss Linley, I’ll go eat.”

Bebe immediately sent a soul message with Linley.

Before Linley had time to reply, Beibei moved and went straight to the table, then grabbed the roasted chicken and ate it, and in less than ten seconds, the whole roasted chicken was eaten cleanly by the little shadow mouse, which was even smaller than the roasted chicken itself.

“Lao San, every time I see Bei Bei eating at this speed, this heart of mine is going to twitch hard.”

Yale said with a smile.

After Bebe finished eating he turned his head to look at Linley, who couldn’t help but frown when he took a look at Bebe’s greasy paws.

“Squeak Bebe purposely barked a few times at Linley, then squinted his little eyes in a self-satisfied manner, while a black light emerged from his entire body, the darkness couldn’t help but emanate, and in a flash, the black light disappeared again. In a flash, the black light disappeared again, and Bei Bei’s greasy paws and mouth were all clean.

Beibei looked at Linley with a shy little face and “squeaked”, at the same time transmitting a message from his soul: “Boss Linley, it’s clean now, isn’t it?”

Linley couldn’t help but smile.

“Brush.”

With a single movement, Bebe scurried inside Linley’s clothes.

The four brothers then casually chatted and ate and drank.

“That’s right, Old Three, if you want your stone carvings to be sent to the Proulx Guild Hall, but there are a few things to keep in mind.”

Yale reminded Linley.

“Oh, what do I need to pay attention to?”

Linley asked after him.

Linley knew nothing about the Proulx Hall’s rules for collecting works.

Yale smiled and said, “Generally, the lower left corner of a stone sculpture must be left with the name or code name of the person who carved it, which means it’s your work. This is the first point, the second point, when the stone carvings are sent to the Proulx Hall warehouse, they must be sealed, in order to prevent the stone carvings from being damaged during transportation. Sealed stone carvings, when sent to the Proulx Hall warehouse, there will be someone in the warehouse who will check whether the work is intact, and will note down your identity information in detail, and generally within three days, your work will appear in the Proulx Hall’s general exhibition hall.”

Linley nodded.

The reason for carving the code name and name on the stone sculpture was to prevent others from impersonating it.

Sealed and protected, Linley could also understand, “Some of the stone carvings are carved very carefully and minutely, and collisions during transportation may result in damage to the stone carvings. Sealing it up and stuffing some paper, rags or whatever inside to protect it is much safer.”

“Marking up charges, how did the Proulx Guild Hall get it?”

Linley pursued.

The stone sculpture was sent to Proulx Guild Hall, and Linley was there to make money and improve the family’s economic conditions.

Yale said smugly, “The stone carving work is placed in the exhibition hall, and will be left to the buyer to mark up the price, after a month the person with the highest price will get the stone carving work, and you will also get paid, of course the transaction is successful, the Proulx Hall will charge one percent of the commission, the commission is up to ten gold coins, if the price of your work is more than a thousand gold coins, even if it is even higher, the commission is still ten gold coins.”

Linley’s heart was clear.

“Senior, don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone in Finlay City to make things right, so you’ll be satisfied.”

Yale wrapped his arm around Linley’s shoulders and said playfully, “The stone carvings of our dormitory’s oldest three will be sent to the Proulx Hall, and if they sell well, I’ll also have a special face.”

George, who was at the side, looked at Linley and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, “Lao San, you’re a fifth year student now, and you’ll be a stone carving master in the future, your future is limitless, much better than ours.”

“A stone carving master? Don’t flatter me.”

Linley smiled to himself.

The four brothers ate and drank while talking about the world.

“The days in the Ernst Academy are truly comfortable.”

Yale put down his wine glass and suddenly sighed, “I remember when I was at home as a child, the training at home was much more bitter than this.”

Reno also skimmed his lips and said, “We are all trainees of the Ernst Academy, listening to what my Grandpa Lum told me, the world is in chaos right now, there are constant killings and fights outside, the back of the Ernst Academy is the Church of Light no one dares to mess with it, so we are only living a quiet life, when we go out to try out in the future, we will know that the world is cruel.”

“That’s right.”

Linley nodded his head and sighed, “I’m in fifth year now, quite a few of the trainees in my current class have gone out to train, according to what they told me, there are some trainees who have lost their lives in the killings outside, there are many crippled and seriously injured, without experiencing real life and death battles, it’s hard for us to grow.”

“We are just like pets raised by nobles, living comfortably, but how can we catch up with the ferocity of the beasts in the outside world?”

George also sighed and said, “I really yearn for the senior cadets to engage in bloody life and death battles outside, that kind of blood boiling day must be very exciting.”

Yale, George, Reynolds, and Linley were also fifteen or sixteen years old, and all of them had a longing in their hearts for the exciting days outside.

It was just that Yale and a few others were too weak, and going out to live the days of hovering between life and death battles would have a high mortality rate.

“Linley, you’re already a fifth year, right?”

Reno suddenly said.

Yale and George also looked at Linley, all three of their gazes glowing.

Linley took a deep breath and nodded, “Yes, I’m a fifth year magician, considered a senior magician. When June rolls around I’m going to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to exercise for two months, and then come back in August.”

Linley had long had a plan in his mind.

“The Magical Beast Mountain Range?”

Yale, George, and Reno all sucked in a breath of cool air.

The Devil Beast Mountain Range, the number one mountain range in the entire Yulan Continent, was less than a hundred miles to the east of Ernst College, and was indeed the place where many senior cadets went for their second and third trial. Most cadets would choose something ordinary for their first trial.

Such as escorting goods and other less dangerous ones.

“Linley, you’re going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range for your first trial?”

Reno couldn’t help but ask after him, and Yale and George were also a little worried.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure in my heart.”

Linley was still relatively confident in his heart, with the strength of a level 5 magician plus a level 4 warrior, the speed of a level 4 warrior was very fast, once aided with the wind magic ‘Extreme Speed’, the ‘Extreme Speed’ cast with Linley’s current strength could allow Linley’s speed, to reach the level 6 warrior level.

Most importantly – Linley could cast the advanced wind magic ‘Floating Art’.
