Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

The carriage kept galloping for who knows how long, but it was already late at night when it stopped.

Luo Xi got off the carriage and looked at the surrounding environment. This was a valley. They were at the entrance of the valley, and there was a stone paved path leading inside.

There are strange trees standing on both sides of the road, with large fruits like morning glory. There is light in the stamens, illuminating the road ahead.

"Street lamp tree! I've seen it in a book. It turns out there really is such a strange thing!" Nicole said in surprise.

This magical scene excited the apprentices, and the fatigue of the journey was swept away.

Walking along this small stone road, we arrived at our destination after passing through a colorful garden.

"Look, Castle, we're here!"

"so big!"

"This, is this where giants live?"

This is a very large castle. Luo Xi visually estimated that it covers an area of ​​at least dozens of square kilometers. The tall city walls and obelisks make humans as small as ants in front of it.

The corridors and rooms inside are all of normal size and seem to be newly built on the basis of the original castle.

There is already a witch waiting in the castle. This is a lady who looks very serious and speaks with a cold voice. Her name is Witch Sarah.

She distributed dormitory keys and an apprentice handbook to the apprentices, and briefly explained the rules here.

"The dormitory is in the east area. There is a map of the castle in the manual. Familiarizing yourself with the various areas here is the first thing you should do when entering the castle. Which places can you go and which places are strictly prohibited?"

"Apprentices are not allowed to appear in the corridor at ten o'clock in the evening. Anyone who disobeys the order will be responsible for the consequences."

"Read the manual carefully, remember the rules and abide by them. This is the first thing you must learn when entering the wizarding world."

"Okay, I'm done here. Do you have any questions? Each person can ask one." Witch Sarah asked coldly.

The apprentices looked at each other in shock. Seeing how stern she was, no one dared to ask questions.

Finally, a boy who looked very richly dressed raised his hand and asked: "Ma'am, I just read the apprenticeship manual. It all has double rooms. Can you change it to a single room for me?"

Witch Sarah shook her head and said, "No."

"After the three-year training period, if the castle feels that you are worthy of training to be allowed to enter the inner castle, it will improve your living environment."

Wizard Luke introduced them to them on the way that the training period after they entered the castle was only three years. These three years, including training resources, were arranged by the castle for free.

After three years, if they pass the assessment, they can enter the inner castle for further training, and then they will truly officially join the castle.

The boy refused to give up and asked: "Then can I choose my roommate?"

Nicole also secretly pulled Luo Xi's sleeve and whispered: "I don't want to be a roommate with a stranger. Luo Xi, how about I live in the same room with you?"

Before Luo Xi could answer, Witch Sarah said: "No, roommates are determined by random drawing. Men and women are separated. Whoever is drawn counts."

Nicole curled her lips: "Well, I hope my roommate is not a troublemaker."

After distributing the keys, Witch Sarah took out a pocket watch and checked the time, and then ordered: "Okay, those who get the keys should go to your dormitory immediately. There is still half an hour until ten o'clock."

"What? We don't even know where the dormitory is yet."

Witch Sarah didn't care about that much. She just looked at the map before turning around and disappearing into the corridor.

"Look at the map quickly."

The apprentices quickly opened the map in the manual, but when they saw it, their heads suddenly became as big as a bucket.

The criss-crossing routes on this map are so densely packed that it’s like a maze. It’s hard to even read them, let alone use them.

Nicole said anxiously: "What should I do, Luo Xi, have you found where the dormitory area is?"

Luo Xi frowned.

He didn't know if this witch had such an irresponsible personality or if she had some deeper meaning. But in short, he didn't want to accept the punishment. The first priority was to figure out the map as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, he opened the system panel and spent a day in it.

Now that his time has been accumulated for almost two hundred days, it doesn't matter if he devotes one day to this kind of thing.

[You start reading the apprentice manual, concentrating on it without any distractions. 】

[One day has passed and you are familiar with all the contents in the apprentice manual. 】

[Apprentice Handbook: Mastery. 】

A large amount of miscellaneous knowledge quickly entered Luo Xi's mind, and the originally unfamiliar apprentice manual became instantly familiar.

Luo Xi then said to Nicole: "Follow me."

After leading Nicole through several cumbersome corridors and several moving ladders, we finally arrived at the dormitory area.

Luo Xi first sent Nicole to the corridor of the girls' dormitory: "Just go in from here. Look at the house number."

Nicole's eyes lit up like little stars, and she admired Luo Xi like a little girl and said, "Roxi, you are so amazing. How did you do this?"

She still can't understand this map.

Luo Xi said casually: "Just think of me as a gifted person. Okay, let's go in quickly. It's getting late."

Nicole went into the corridor, quickly found her room number, opened the dormitory door, and waved to Luo Xi from a distance.

Luo Xi then turned around and went to his dormitory.

There are actually only a few corridors between the boys' dormitories and the girls' dormitories, and there is a shortcut in the middle.

It is a moving oil painting. The image in the oil painting will transform into a corridor every half hour. You can reach the male dormitory area directly through this corridor.

There are many similar 'shortcuts' in this castle. It's just like the world of Harry Potter, with floating ghosts, moving armor, moving stairs, and countless other things.

Soon Luo Xi came to his dormitory, door 213.

"Not a good number."

After making some random remarks, Luo Xi turned the key, opened the door and walked in.

The dormitory is rectangular, about twenty to thirty square meters, with a wardrobe, desk, bed, etc. on the left and right sides of the middle, and an independent terrace outside.

Luo Xi's bed was on the left. He put down his luggage and started making the bed.

The luggage was actually nothing, just some personal clothes and souvenirs, all brought from his hometown and packed in a large box prepared by his mother.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

As soon as I finished tidying up, a dull bell sounded outside the window. It rang ten times in total, which meant it was ten o'clock at midnight.

Luo Xi looked at the empty bed next door. His strange roommate was obviously late. He didn't know what kind of punishment he would suffer?

The apprentice handbook only said that apprentices who were not at the dormitory until ten o'clock at midnight would be punished, but it did not specify what they were.

While Luo Xi was curious, suddenly, a strange noise came from outside the door.

Accompanied by some strange sounds...
