Arcane Rebirth

For an innocent girl who is not familiar with the world, the estimated cost of studying at [Kemo University] is too low!

Jialan, who once served as an assistant lecturer, knows very well that regardless of the tuition fee for an academic year at [Kemo University], it is "only" 200 gold talans.

But in fact, this part of the fee is the most insignificant part of the entire learning process. The bulk of the real money is the "tuition and miscellaneous fees" such as book fees, test fees, material fees, lecture fees, etc.

Take "book fees" as an example. Although the cost of basic learning materials is included in the tuition, it is impossible to provide some precious arcane books, spell materials, especially the manuscripts of some high-level mages' experiences for free.

Open to students!

In Jialan's original era, let alone buying a spell book directly, the price of just copying a level 0 arcane book by yourself would not be less than 50 gold coins, let alone a higher level one.

As for the cost of copying books in this era, Jialan is not sure yet, but as the new librarian, he already knows from the "Administrator's Manual" issued to him [Kemo Big Book]

Museum] also has this kind of service. Considering the prices and consumption levels of this era, I think the price will not be too low.

Books, which symbolize "knowledge", are expensive luxuries, and writing paper and ink are also luxuries in this era.

A one-square-meter piece of writing paper is worth 4 silver gems, but it can only be cut into 35 standard book pages. In other words, if you want to bind a standard 100-page book,

Come on, it will cost at least 1 gold taran and 2 silver gems. Even if you use parchment paper that is half the price, the price will not be that low.

As for sea ink for writing (a super-thick calamari ink that is not easy to fade), even if [Kelan City] located on the seaside is considered one of the production areas, the price of a small bottle of 30 grams will not be less than 8 gold tarans.

, copying a standard 100-page book still requires one or two vials...

This is just the cost price of making a book. You can imagine why some people say "knowledge is the patent of the nobility" and "in the world of magic (knowledge), mortals (poor people) please go away!" right?

So, Ailan only "loaned" 300 Jintalans from Jialan. Not to mention that he could last until the end of the semester. It was not even enough to copy a few more books, let alone the almost unlimited experimental expenses and material expenses.

Already.

If you want to understand the mysteries of magic, frequent experiments are inevitable. It is impossible to truly come into contact with the core content of magic by relying solely on written theoretical knowledge.

The materials required for an experiment can range from hundreds to thousands, or even tens of thousands. It can be said that the experience of a spell caster is entirely based on the accumulation of a large number of gold coins. Only 300 gold coins are needed.

There is enough.

However, there was no need for Jialan to tell the girl this, she just said with a smile: "300 Jintalans? Of course! But the dividends from the pharmacy workshop still have to be paid to you, and this part of the loan will be deducted from your dividends

Okay! Also, after school starts, don’t go to the pharmacy workshop, Ailan..."

"Eh? Why? Is there something I did wrong?"

The girl nervously held her little hands together and prayed: "I will work hard! I will also study pharmaceutical skills seriously!"

Compared to working in pubs, restaurants and the like, the salary in a pharmacy workshop is much higher, and she can also be exposed to knowledge and skills related to the [pharmacy] subject she applied for.

"Don't worry, it's not because you don't do well there that I won't let you go!"

Jialan explained with a smile: "It's just that after the semester starts, the study tasks will be very heavy. If you work part-time again, it may affect your studies. You don't want to pay the college due to insufficient credits in the next school year.

Fifty percent of the tuition fee is the 'educational resource usage fee', right?"

Ailan was a little confused: "But...but..."

But Jialan, who has gradually become familiar with Ailan's character, knows how to persuade this simple girl, and said with a sly smile: "If you plan to find a part-time job, I can introduce you to one. I have already

I found a work-study job in the college library, and the salary is very high!"

Slowing down his speech slightly, Jialan used the seductive words of the [Bluff] skill to confuse Ailan: "In addition, I also participated in the pharmaceutical research in the college laboratory. You can come as an assistant.

Help me develop pharmaceuticals, so that I can apply for a scholarship from the college for you, waive some tuition fees, and improve your [pharmacy] level!"

"Really? Are you sure?"

The girl widened her sparkling eyes and looked at Jialan with admiration: "Jialan, you are so amazing. You found such a good part-time job so quickly! I want to go! I want to go!"

Jialan looked proud and hummed: "Then from now on, I will be your boss! Remember to go to the big library to report every day after class! If you are late, I will deduct your salary.

!”

"I promise!"

The girl jumped up like a rabbit and jumped around Jialan excitedly. She didn't even notice that Jialan had sent her back to the girls' dormitory of the college.

After handing Ailan a large bag of blankets, bedding, sheets and other items that he had carried along the way, Jialan watched the girl happily run into the dormitory holding a bunch of things, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and shook them off.

With my sore arms, I planned to hold my share and return to the administrator's rest cabin next to the big library.

But before she could get too far away, she heard Ailan chasing after her in a hurry. The girl was a little out of breath from running, and a bright red appeared on her delicate little face, and she muttered: "Why don't you wait?"

I?"

Jialan was a little stunned, and the girl took the initiative to take some items from his hands to help carry them. Seeing Jialan looking at her, she blinked her round eyes: "Aren't you going to have dinner? When I was taking the theory test,

I heard from some classmates that the spice-roasted antelope legs in the college restaurant are very delicious, let’s go and try them together? Yeah! My treat!”

Looking up at the darkening sky, Jialan realized that it was already dinner time. He was in a hurry to go back to the big library and browse through the books, but he completely forgot about dinner.

Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Jialan laughed and said, "Okay!"
