Chapter 37: Bar Koth!

And all of this was because the Imperial Academy had too many secrets.

The Imperial Academy had been established for 3,000 years.

In these 3,000 years, who knew how many powerful mages had come out of it.

According to statistics, the Imperial Academy had nurtured a total of 100 holy saint magi in the past 1,000 years.

As for magi and grand archmagi, there were countless of them.

It could be said that those who could enter the Imperial Magic Academy had almost half a foot in the realm of magi.

Why?

Because, for those who graduated from the Imperial Magic Academy, the ones who had the worst of it were high-level magi.

And what was the concept of a high-level magus?

For example, the city lord of Holy Orchid City was probably only at the realm of magi.

Perhaps he was still at the realm of low-level magi.

In other words, as long as one graduated from the Imperial Magic Academy, he or she would be at least the city lord of the same place and have jurisdiction over a million people.

Of course, the graduation rate of the Imperial Magic Academy was not as exaggerated as that of the diploma mill Caruso attended in the city.

In the Imperial Magic Academy, the average annual graduation rate was 50%.

On average, out of 100 people, only 50 people could successfully graduate.

This was also why it was said that half a foot into the magi realm.

Because once they did not graduate, it would be a waste of time.

But regardless of whether Caruso could graduate, in Deluca’s eyes, Caruso was like a god.

Even if Caruso was only a grand mage in the future, he would still be a proper noble. This was not something he could offend.

For this reason… very quickly, Deluca replied courteously, “Respected Mage, if you are going to the Imperial City, I suggest that you make a trip to the Chamber of Commerce. There are often caravans going to the Imperial City. As long as you pay a small fee, you can get on their car and go to the Imperial City with them!”

In a bar in Holy Orchid City.

A few fat old men with goatees were drinking the cheap barley wine with flushed faces.

They were chatting about some interesting things while drinking.

At the bar counter, a middle-aged thin man who looked smart was looking at the sexy woman who was mixing wine in front of him. He was holding an ordinary glass of wine with his middle finger and thumb, teasing her with a slightly tipsy face.

“Lunas, I’ve only seen two beautiful girls like you in my life. One of them is my mother and the other is my ex-girlfriend who broke my heart.”

The smart man pretended to be drunk as if he was revealing his true feelings.

After saying this, he immediately put down the glass in his hand and grabbed the other person’s small hand. Tears started to appear in his eyes.

For Koth, this was his usual method of picking up girls.

It worked almost every time. Even if he failed, the other party would not do anything to humiliate him.

As expected, when he made this move, the sexy bartender immediately became a little flustered. Her body trembled a little but, seeing the other party’s sincere expression, she did not directly reject the other party’s move.

Women were all emotional, even when they spent a lot of time in bars.

They were more or less interested in men who had stories.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Koth?” At this moment, a discordant voice broke the lingering scene.

The person who spoke was none other than Caruso, who had gotten the news from Deluca.

After asking around, he went to the town’s Chamber of Commerce to ask around.

After asking around, he learned that there was a caravan going to the imperial capital the next day.

This caravan was in the charge of a merchant named Koth, so if he wanted to go with them, he had to find this person.

After asking around, he learned that Koth was a person who valued wine more than his life. Recently, he had fallen in love with a bartender in a bar, so if he wanted to find him, he could just go to the bar and find him.

When Caruso came here, because it was noon, there were not many people drinking.

Excluding the few drunkards over there, Caruso immediately set his eyes on Koth, who was in front of a sexy woman.

Not paying attention to what the other party was doing, Caruso went up and began to ask.

When Koth heard someone calling him, he glanced at it and found that it was a little kid. He was instantly a little unhappy.

However, in the future, he would be able to gain the good impression of the bartender. He suppressed his temper and pretended not to hear it. He grabbed the other party’s hand tightly, wanting to continue his next move.

“Hello, get me a glass of ordinary fruit wine please.” As a mage with a strong spirit, Caruso had seen it with his own eyes when he glanced at him. However, when he saw that the other party was not going to pay attention to him, he immediately shouted at the bartender.

The bartender was already very embarrassed. When she heard Caruso’s words, she immediately nodded with a blushing face. Then, she quickly pulled out her hand that was grabbed by Koth and prepared to make a drink for Caruso.

“Kid, if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I will definitely teach you a good lesson on behalf of your parents.”

After the scene that Caruso had spent a few hours in entirety to cultivate was ruined by Caruso…

He turned around and waited for Caruso.

After saying this, he turned around and drank the last bit of fruit wine left in the glass.

“Mr. Koth, I want to go to the capital with you. I’ve asked around about the price. Here are five gold coins.” If it was not because he had a mission, Caruso would not have said any more nonsense to this lecherous guy.
