Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 7 Lan Qi Knows Enrollment

The grandfather clock in the study ticked leisurely, and the sound of gears could be heard clearly.

Accompanied by the aloes of ancient books on the carved bookcase in the corner, the fragrance permeates the air.

Looking at the magic table lamp emitting amber soft light on the table, Noel took off his glasses, closed his eyes, and gradually relaxed his brows.

Regardless of whether Lan Qi played it or not, at least Lan Qi's slow-moving attitude made him feel relieved.

"But father, I need some money before taking the exam, can you ensure that I have sufficient funds for these three months as much as possible?"

Just when Noe thought Lan Qi was about to leave, Lan Qi's voice made him open his eyes again.

"What are you going to do?"

Noel asked alertly.

It seems to suspect that Lan Qi wants to cheat as much money as possible before the entrance examination. One last indulgence.

"Making magic cards requires a lot of money for materials, and I need to hire a suitable teacher."

Lan Qi's expression and voice were still so peaceful.

Nothing like lying.

And he did tell the truth.

Because after he finished reading the codex, he was going to start studying magic cards.

"Can you make magic cards?"

Noel asked in surprise.

Lan Qi did not answer immediately this time.

Actually not yet.

He needs a perfect word to make his father trust him and invest in him.

However, this time,
"I assure the young master that he will make excellent magic cards."

The butler who had been standing behind Noe spoke up.

He bent slightly, and said beside Noe,
"If you can see the painting in the young master's room, you will never worry about the young master again."

"Oh?"

Noel turned his head to look at the butler when he heard this.

He was surprised by the butler's words, and he was surprised to react quickly.

Then he looked at Lan Qi with great interest:
"Lan Qi, have you started painting again recently? It must be a pretty good painting for Hans to praise you so much."

Hans is the butler's name, but his predecessor rarely called him by his first name directly, so Lan Qi followed his predecessor's habit and only referred to him as "you" when communicating with the butler.

"It's not just..."

The butler smiled and shook his head.

Apparently, the master has not realized the level of the young master's painting.

Anyone can tell that Noel's tone of praise for children just now.

"Hans has been taking good care of me, but he exaggerated."

Lan Qi only pursed his lips briefly, and interrupted the butler before he could finish speaking.

The portrait of Talia hanging in his bedroom had better be kept out of Noe's eyes.

Otherwise, if Noe ran into Talia by chance in the town, there might be some ridiculous misunderstanding.

"That's it."

Noel didn't take it seriously when he heard the words.

The only thing that surprised Noë was Lankey's humility.

Generally speaking, Lan Qi should seize this opportunity to boast about his talents in order to seek investment.

After hearing Lan Qi's words, the butler had no intention of saying more.

With a half-smile, he stepped back behind Noe.

"Okay, I hope you can pass the exam of the Alchemy Academy. Hans..."

Noel said polite words of encouragement to Lan Qi with a sigh, and then ordered Hans butler to provide Lan Qi with the money he needed.

It was because of the face of the old housekeeper and Lan Qi's good attitude today that Noel agreed to Lan Qi's request so simply.

Anyway, it's a lot of money for this stupid son.

Hope he can understand sooner.May the goddess bless him.

If today he is not pretending, but really calm, steady, humble and polite, that would be a great thing.

……

As the night darkened, the wall lamps on the spacious corridors on the second floor of the mansion shone slightly, making the whole mansion immersed in tranquility and peace.

Most of the servants in the house finished their work today and went to rest.

Of course, there are also servants who are not off work.

As soon as Lan Qi pushed open the door of the study, he found the maid waiting outside——

The considerate maid named Francine was less afraid of herself than the other servants.

Lan Qi found that it seemed that she and the butler were the only ones in the house who were willing to take herself seriously.

After a little polite hello.

"Master, are you sure you're not fooling the master?"

Francine followed Lan Qi who walked out of the study with some worry, and asked in a low voice beside him.

She heard the conversation in the study just now, and she knew very well how Lan Qi spent his time every day before.

The entrance examination of the Alchemy Academy includes the written examinations of the kingdom's arithmetic, pharmacy, material processing, basics of magic engineering, principles of alchemy, and many other subjects.

Even if Lan Qi spends money to hire the best teacher now, it will be too late to start learning with all his might.

"A mere entrance exam."

Lan Qi smiled lightly and closed his eyes, with a calm expression that didn't seem to care about the difficulty of the exam at all, and he didn't mean to step up his review at all.

"Uh……"

Seeing this, Francine even suspected that Lan Qi really gave up from now on, and was experiencing the last carnival.

But she also knew that even if Lan Qi failed to enter the school, he would not be scolded at home or reduced to a quilt on the streets of the capital.

The young master can fight flexibly in the capital.

You can make a lot of money just by selling paintings.

"Don't worry, I'll study the exam rules tonight."

Lan Qi felt the maid's worry, smiled, and added something in a positive tone, his eyes were as clear as when facing the code.

"That's good……"

"Huh? Exam rules?"

Francine was startled.

She always felt that there was something in Lan Qi's words.

Although it is definitely a good habit to read the precautions carefully before the exam...

But what is there to study about the entrance examination rules of the Alchemy Institute?
Soon, after saying goodbye, Lan Qi quickened his pace and walked towards the bedroom, leaving the maid in the aisle with a confused face.

……

Go back to the bedroom and close the door.

Lan Qi found the admission reference book of Icarite College from the bookshelf.

He came to the desk, opened the chair and sat down leisurely, slowly picked up the pen, stared at the book in his hand, and planned the schedule for the next three months.

He was serious about enrolling.

He did promise his father that he would be admitted.

But he didn't say which branch he would enroll in.

"Although I'm not a fighter in my life, I'm only good at fighting... But if I really want to fight, if I'm prepared, I don't think I'm going to lose."

Lan Qi muttered to himself while flipping through the admission brochure of Icarite College.

In this academy, there are the Alchemy Academy and the Magic Engineering Academy that focus on theoretical research and backup support, and are difficult to pass exams quickly.

Of course, there are also the Academy of Sages and the Academy of Knights that focus more on direct actual combat and the use of tactics.

Lan Qi's method is very simple.

That is, Curve Admissions.

At that time, he can change the college he applied for from the Alchemy Academy to another branch.

Although the inspection points of the two colleges, which focus on actual combat, are quite different, the main points of the inspections over the years have been the candidates' adaptability, character and temperament, and actual combat capabilities.

This is also closely related to the world's most difficult dungeon "Shadow World".

For the next three months.

As long as he can successfully produce some key magic cards with "Lanch characteristics", he can buy a few magic cards that can be found on the market to form a match.

It's not that Lan Qi can't play an operation that makes all the leaders of the academy look black!
