I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

"Alright, no need to rush to choose. I can prepare more detailed information for you later. Take your time to think it over. Today, let's continue with the basic courses. Here, I've prepared some books and handouts for you."

As she spoke, Celishina conjured a ball of light from her chest and handed it to Royo.

Upon taking a look, several sci-fi-themed "light screens" appeared before my eyes. Some of them contained books, some contained "video tutorials," and others contained "exercises" and "scratch paper," making it look like an online course system.

With this, we finally have a bit of the learning atmosphere we have on the other side of the world.

"That's amazing!"

Luo Yue couldn't help but sigh softly.

"This is a void artifact, specifically developed for the realm of consciousness and thought in the void. Only artifacts of this type can be brought into the void."

Serishina gave a brief introduction, then asked:

"Can you receive packages where you are? I can send you one. That way, even if I'm not around, you can still use it to learn on your own."

"Uh...it might be inconvenient, and this thing must be very valuable, right?"

"It's nothing compared to the Governor's favor, but since it's inconvenient, let's just use mine for now. Feel free to ask me any questions."

After Celesina finished speaking, the two fell into silence. Luo Yue held the "online learning system" and studied on his own, while she began to try to decipher the "mystery" again, occasionally answering a few of Luo Yue's questions.

Four hours passed quickly, and Serishina had to go back.

She glanced at Luo Yue, who was still studying diligently, and didn't want to take the magical artifact away, but there was nothing she could do. With her departure, the "online class" in front of Luo Yue disappeared, leaving him feeling lost.

"Sigh~ After using these advanced gadgets, draft paper suddenly doesn't seem so appealing anymore. If only my mental space could transmit physical objects..."

"Why hasn't the Mind Space upgraded these past few days? Didn't we collect four more 'puzzle pieces'? Is upgrading not determined by the number of pieces?"

As he was speaking, he heard a shout coming from reality:

"Young Master Luo Yue, the carriage is repaired, we can set off now."

He can only meditate for one hour at a time, so when he exited meditation earlier, he moved to a haystack outside the repair shop and told the driver that he wanted to take a nap and that he could be woken up when he was ready to leave.

"Uncle driver, I already told you not to call me 'young master' or anything like that..."

Luo Yue ended his meditation, quickly returned to the carriage, and said with some helplessness.

But the driver was quite stubborn.

"That won't do. Before we left, the master specifically instructed me to find an opportunity to persuade you. He sincerely wants you to be his son-in-law."

"Sigh~ What's wrong with Brother Shandu? He's tall, handsome, and has many friends. It would be more convenient for him to sell potions to the mercenary group in the future. I'd also be willing to be his son-in-law."

"This is something you don't understand, young master. Someone like me who is often out and about has heard the most tragic stories about mercenary groups being wiped out or mercenaries having their wives and children slaughtered by their enemies. If I had a daughter, I would definitely not let her marry a mercenary."

Luo Yue was speechless for a moment after hearing this...

No matter how unreliable the old drunkard was, at least he had a safe home and the great witch as his protector.

........................

It wasn't until evening that the carriage finally made its way slowly through the city wall arch and into Maple Leaf City.

Although this is not the capital of the Duchy of Anderse, it is the economic center and the ancestral home of the ruler, Grand Duke Anderse. Therefore, the road is bustling with traffic, with a liveliness and hustle that can never be seen in small towns.

The pharmacy owner had long ago spent money to buy a "lord" title for his shop and hung a family crest made of several bottles and jars in the most conspicuous place on the carriage. As a result, the journey into the city was smooth, and they arrived at the territory of the mage Hugo before dark.

This "passionate Hugo," who was also "wealthy Hugo," actually owned a private park in the expensive city of Maple Leaf, with his large villa and mage tower located near the artificial lake in the center of the park.

Even though the Old World had not yet developed electricity for daily life, people did not use kerosene lamps. Instead, they lit luxurious fluorite lamps, illuminating the surroundings.

"I'm so envious..."

While waiting at the door for someone to announce his arrival, Luo Yue said sincerely.

The driver next to him chimed in:

"Yes, it's so bright it's blinding me. I wonder if the master will ever have the chance to earn so much money in the future."

As they were talking, they saw a servant running quickly towards them, so the coachman bid farewell to Rojo:

"I'll be going now, Young Master Luo. If you need anything, you can contact the master's agent in the city. We have a car coming every week to deliver messages for you. If you need money, you can also borrow some from them."

"Okay, I understand."

Luo Yue had two gold coins in his pocket, which the boss had secretly slipped to him when he wasn't looking. They hadn't been put on the bill yet, but Luo Yue himself "added the extra cost" to it.

One cannot always unconditionally accept the kindness of others...

After the carriage left, the servant came up to Luo Yue and greeted him:

"Lord Royo, the master is very pleased to know you have arrived and is waiting for you in the tower. Please come with me, let's put our luggage away first."

"OK."

This Hugo Tower is huge, with five floors, several times larger than the Old Drunkard Tower. The interior is luxurious and complete, with not only proper classrooms, a library, and laboratories, but also meditation rooms and practice areas specifically for students.

The room arranged for Royo was a clean and tidy small single room, which even had a private bathroom, and used magic to drain sewage and heat water.

These things weren't nonexistent in the old world, it's just that ordinary people couldn't enjoy them...

Luo Yue didn't stand on ceremony, since it wasn't his first time here. He quickly took a shower in the bathroom, changed out of his dusty linen robe, put on the new clothes the boss had picked out, and looked in the mirror.

"Hmm~ He's very handsome, but his temperament is still so pure and innocent; anyone can tell he comes from the mountains."

He smiled, took the two bottles of potions the boss had given him as a small token of his appreciation, found the servant again, and then met Hugo outside a magic workshop on the third floor.

"Oh, my little Royo, you really came! I knew a fine young man like you wouldn't refuse an old man's request."

Hugo greeted him warmly and even gave him a polite hug.

"It's an honor to see you again, Uncle Hugo."

Luo Yue hugged the other person back, then sniffed.

He smelled a very strong perfume on the other person, so strong it was almost pungent.

But he remembered that in the previous times they met, the other person had never worn perfume.

Could it be...?

Has it experienced a second spring?
