"Hi, I'm Jia Lan, I'm really old, the color of my hair and eyes is because I have the blood of Donglu..." Jia Lan smiled and gave a simple answer to Alan's question, but did not tell her her last name, but changed the subject: "Why is wearing a dark blue robe considered a senior?"
"Don't you know? At Komo University, the grade can be seen from the color of the robe and the appearance of the badge." Alan widened her round eyes, looking particularly cute: "Light blue, sky blue, and ice blue are lower grades; indigo, azure, and blue are middle grades; azure, dark blue, and dark blue are upper grades; each color is divided into one, two, and three grades, and the last sapphire blue is the exclusive color of the graduating class!"
"The darker the color, the higher the grade of the senior, as for me... well, I'm a freshman." She pointed at her light blue robe and suddenly pulled the hem of her skirt a little embarrassedly, as if she was not satisfied with the quality of the robe: "Jia Lan, this should be your own clothes, right? The dark blue is the representative color of the ninth grade seniors. You have to wear a robe that suits your grade in school. You can't wear it randomly, otherwise you will be misunderstood! It will be bad if the seniors see you!" [What an interesting girl. ] Jia Lan smiled in her heart and thought that she might be able to get some useful information from her. He followed Alan's words and glanced at the busy young people in the college square. Sure enough, he found that although the eyes were full of blue, the depths were different. The reason why this Kolanbang Public Magic University chose blue as its representative color may be because of the main autumn month "Book Ryan". "Book Ryan" is the smallest moon in the Eberron world, emitting light blue moonlight. When it is brightest at night, you can clearly see the mountains on the moon, and the shape is like words on the pages of a book. Moreover, "Book Ryan" has the magical effect of enhancing learning, memory, creativity and thinking. Spellcasters, scholars, researchers, as well as dancers, musicians, poets, etc., can all find inspiration from the pale blue moonlight of "Booklean".
On the continent of Khorvaire where they stand, "Booklean" is the symbol of all academic institutions, but no institution dares to say that "Booklean" is unique to them.
Even the three most famous academic centers in Khorvaire: the city of Kolanburg in the Kingdom of Zilargo, the Kolanburg Library with twelve super-large affiliated colleges; the city of Sarn in the Kingdom of Breland, the Morgrave College known as the "Ten Thousand Towers City"; the city of Felhaven in the Kingdom of Aundair, the Royal Academy of Venann known as the "Kingdom of Offa"; do not dare to take "Booklean" for themselves.
This Kolan State Public Magic University is just using the moonlight of "Booklean" to play a small edge ball.
Jia Lan noticed that some students of the University of Komo had a crescent-shaped badge on their chests. But the waxing and waning of the crescent moon varies with grade: the lower grades have the "waning crescent moon", the middle grades have the "half-moon moon", and the upper grades have the "waxing crescent moon".

In the shadow of the gap in the crescent moon of the badge, there are patterns of one, two, and three books stacked together and the school year number, which are used to distinguish the grade and identity of the students. After all, not everyone can distinguish the different shades of blue.
Jia Lan did not see the "full moon", but guessed that the graduating students should wear the full moon badge, which symbolizes the completion of their studies and the upcoming graduation.
Jia Lan turned around and subconsciously looked at Alan's chest. His somewhat impolite behavior made the girl shrink her shoulders a little shyly, and said embarrassedly: "I just got the admission letter from the University of Science and Technology, and I haven't officially reported yet, so I haven't received the badge yet."
Seeing that Jia Lan was a little surprised, the girl explained: "Don't you know? As long as you have a recommendation letter from any prominent family in your hometown, you can take the entrance examination during the one-week school festival of the University of Science and Technology. If you pass, you can enter the University of Science and Technology to study magic."
Hearing this, Jia Lan's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Alan, is it easy to get a recommendation letter from your hometown?"
Alan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, seemed a little embarrassed, and said a little inferior: "I... My father is the butler of the Wheat Stem Village affiliated to the Graystone Town near the city of Talandor, and works for the family of the "quasi-eighth-class knight" Master Mapdoler. So... So my father served Master Mapdoler for free for three years in exchange for this recommendation..."
No matter how good Jia Lan's memory was, he was confused by the complicated relationships that Alan talked about, but he finally understood it. The "quasi-eighth-class knight" Master Mapdoler, who sounded very impressive, actually bought the title of "honorary lord" with money. He was nothing, not even a fiefdom, just a small country gentleman.
But then again, "honorary lord" is still a nobleman after all, and even such a small nobleman has the right to recommend. It seems that the admission requirements of "Kolanbang Public Magic University" are too low!
Jia Lan was a little puzzled. When did the knowledge of arcane magic begin to be opened to ordinary people? Is it to find folk masters? Or is it just a means of making money?
You know, in Jia Lan's time, there was a saying that "in the world of arcane magic, the poor stand aside!" Although it is a bit cruel, it also shows that the growth of a mage requires a lot of money, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.
Jia Lan asked Alan carefully: "Alan, are you confident that you can pass the entrance exam?"
"I don't know yet," Alan said, "I heard that the exam has two parts, the first part tests magic theory knowledge, and the second part tests elemental talent. The theoretical exam only requires five silver gilms, but the elemental talent test requires five gold talans. If the talent is tested and the admission is obtained, you can apply for a loan from the school..."
Alan said a little worriedly: "My father gave me all his savings. If the talent cannot be tested, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
