Chapter 115: [Obtain Familiar]

Leaving the Academy Committee, Magic User Laer pointed out two directions to Gao De and said to him: "Room No. 30 in the First District is over there, and the academy canteen is over here. You tidy up yourself and hurry to eat."

"Eat well; tomorrow there will be a place for you to exert your strength." He patted Gao De's shoulder meaningfully, and then parted ways with Gao De.

The matter was done, and he had no leisure to send Gao De back.

Gao De was also very open-minded, knowing that the relationship between him and Magic User Laer was just a transaction.

He walked back to the Guest Building silently, took his luggage, and then walked along the direction of the First District that Magic User Laer had just pointed out.

Passing through the well-arranged academy roads and buildings, Gao De successfully found No. 30 in the First District.

Because the Sairisi Magic Academy was already a well-developed "small city," almost every intersection in the academy was equipped with clear signs, and every building also had corresponding signs.

Coupled with the map in his hand, as long as he was not a top-tier person with no sense of direction, finding his "dormitory building" was not a difficult task.

And when seeing "No. 30 in the First District," Gao De also understood why Commissioner Rachel had used such a certain tone earlier to say that he would definitely like this place.

The so-called First District was actually a detached villa area built around a small lake.

A glance over showed about thirty or forty two-story wooden houses of uniform style, arranged in an orderly manner along the lake shore.

Gao De used the key to unlock the door of Building No. 30.

A faint scent of pine wood rushed toward him.

Gao De stepped over the threshold with his luggage and walked in.

As far as the eye could see, the room was fully furnished, and the quality was just right—not too luxurious, yet with a certain style.

And on the wooden table in the center of the entrance hall, there was a stack of neatly stored things.

Gao De walked over to take a look; it was two sets of clothing printed with the Sairisi Magic Academy badge. The main color was dark blue, the top was a robe style, the length was past the knees, and the cuffs were wide.

The bottom was tight-fitting trousers; this style of trousers could ensure the flexibility and convenience of movement.

In addition, there were two belts.

The only thing that made Gao De strange was that no one had measured his body shape; how did these two sets of clothing manage to fit his size? However, Gao De did not delve into this question, because there were things more worth delving into: next to the two sets of student uniforms, there were also some strange tools placed.

These included a pickaxe, ten pairs of linen gloves, a small shovel, and a back basket.

In addition, in the blank space next to the wooden table, there were a few lines of small characters left by magic, flickering slightly, attracting Gao De's gaze:

"No. 30 in the First District, comes with a small cleaning magic array, a small soundproof barrier, a small alarm barrier, and a small temperature regulation barrier. Monthly maintenance fee is 5 silver; please go to the academy logistics department to pay in time."

"When reporting to Kuli Cliff tomorrow, remember to bring all the tools."

"Welcome to the Sairisi Magic Academy, wish you a pleasant life in the academy!"

"Logistics Department."

What kind of enrollment task is it that requires a pickaxe, gloves, a shovel, and a back basket??

Gao De looked at the "warm reminder" left by the logistics department, and the doubts accumulated in his heart finally reached their peak at this moment.

If it weren't for the two sets of finely crafted academy uniforms placed on the side, Gao De would even feel more that he had joined some mine rather than the Sairisi Magic Academy.

Never mind, I'll know what the situation is tomorrow, Gao De secretly said. He put down his luggage and first walked around the room, carefully observing this place where he would live for a long time to come.

The first floor had a large living room, a washroom, a laundry room, a small kitchen, a small dining room with good lighting, and a workroom.

The second floor had a bedroom, a living room, a sunroom, a meditation room, and a large balcony.

Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, the scenery of the small lake was unobstructed, sparkling, and occasionally some lake birds would skim across the lake surface, leaving behind strings of ripples.

Gao De took a deep breath of air, his heart full of emotion.

This was much better than No. 237 Kamengde Street, which he had rented in Bremen City for 20 gold a year.

The point was, it was free here! Returning to the bedroom on the second floor and putting his luggage under the bed, Gao De then took out the spell formula and magic potion that he had been keeping close to his body.

He couldn't wait to open the spell formula.

Although Gao De was still far from being a 1st-circle magic user.

But Magic User Laer's words of "rare spell formula" still filled Gao De with curiosity about the 1st-circle spell formula in his hand.

What came into view was still a spell model composed of a number line diagram, but its nodes were as many as thirty-seven. Gao De's gaze temporarily skipped the spell model and turned to look at the introduction about the spell below the spell model.

【Obtain Familiar】 (Conjuration, 1st Circle):

You summon and obtain a familiar that serves you with a rank of 1st circle.

You can choose one from the following animals as the "family" to which the familiar will belong: bat, cat, crab, frog, toad, hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish, piranha, rat, raven, seahorse, spider, weasel.

The familiar appears in an unoccupied space within the casting range.

Your familiar can act independently, but will follow your instructions at any time.

When your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically.

In addition, you can also use an action to switch your vision and hearing to the familiar's senses. During this period, you simultaneously enjoy the familiar's own special senses, while your own body's senses are equivalent to being in a deaf and blind state.

You can use an action to temporarily dismiss your familiar, at which time it will enter a small plane waiting for your re-summoning.

When temporarily dismissed, you can use an action to summon it to appear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet.

Alternatively, you can also choose to permanently dismiss it. Once you make this choice, you cannot cast this spell to obtain a new familiar within one month of natural time.

When a familiar dies, it will disappear on its own and will not leave any physical remains. When the familiar dies, you need to pass one month of natural time before you can re-cast this spell to obtain a new familiar.

You cannot possess more than one familiar through this spell at the same time.

Gao De's understanding of spells was still far from enough, but just looking at the effect of this spell, it could be seen that the "rare spell formula" Magic User Laer mentioned was definitely not deceiving him.

The most direct comparison was that, also as a 1st-circle Conjuration spell, the Fog Cloud spell on the Tooth of Hidden Fog only conjured a cloud of mist 20 feet high and 20 feet in radius, lasting for one minute.

But Obtain Familiar was to summon a permanently existing, 1st-circle rank familiar that could have multiple interactions with the caster.

How to compare? There was no comparison! The reason why rare is rare must have its reasons!
