"Gollum. Cook sat in the car, his eyes constantly sweeping around, his expression was restrained, and even his sitting posture was very unnatural, and he swallowed hard. Now he can be said to be the most nervous moment of his life, to ask why, because he is now sitting in the dean's car, and the most important thing, he has entered the palace with the car, this kind of place, he didn't even dare to think about before.

But anyone who lives in the imperial capital, no matter where they are, as long as they look up slightly, they can see the appearance and architecture of the palace, and the sense of splendor and shock cannot be erased no matter how many times they look at it.

Today's Cook was even more amazed when he was observed up close. The whole body of the palace is made of the hardest hundred wood stones of the Laia Empire, and its firmness is needless to say, and then it is neatly inlaid with all kinds of colorful crystals, which makes the palace more luxurious and noble, and the greenery is all over the ground with all kinds of colorful precious flowers, the atmosphere and elegant pavilions, the small bridges and flowing water full of natural atmosphere, all kinds of styles blend with each other, but will not give people a sense of abruptness, at a glance, but marvel at the rich nature.

It turns out that this is the Imperial Palace. Cook couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The road in the palace was very flat, and Cook did not feel the slightest jolting and shaking in the car, and he did not feel the passage of time in the slightest when looking at the peaceful scenery outside the car. Finally, the car slowly stopped, only to hear Rio laugh, and said: "The palace is beautiful, but it's not for you to see the scenery, from now on, you have to be ready for your work." ”

"Ah, yes. ”

Cook and Rio quickly got out of the car, and then Cook, led by Rio, walked all the way to the palace in the center of the palace, and on the way, Rio was also enthusiastic to be a tour guide for Cook.

"It's the library, and a lot of the processing records about the calamity ability are there, which will be very helpful for you as a newcomer. ”

"That's the Cabinet of Parliamentarians, it's where the high-ranking members of the Empire work, and many important things can only be carried out with the consent of the Cabinet. ”

"That's the research institute, which gathers the most high-end technical researchers in the entire Laia Empire, and now many of the Empire's ability props and life convenience props are made up from there, and they often cooperate with our Laiyi Academy. ”

……

Along the way, Rio talked endlessly, so that Cook gradually couldn't parry, and just when Cook was dizzy, Rio's slightly surprised call suddenly startled Cook.

"Hey, Xiao Mo, this way. ”

Cook looked fixedly, only to see a young man in a knight's costume was walking towards them step by step with a black face and anger, and when he got closer, he only heard the sound of "Qiang", the knight young man had already pulled out the long sword at his waist, and directly put it on Rio's neck, and whispered in a rather threatening tone: "Hey, Rio, I've warned you several times, if you dare to call me like that, I guarantee that your head will fall to the ground?"

On the other side, Rio gently pushed away the long sword and said weakly: "It's been so many years, you're almost used to it." ”

"Compared to this, we have a newcomer in Laiyiyuan. ”

Seeing Rio mention himself all of a sudden, Cook couldn't help but shudder, and then saw the knight youth's murderous gaze turn to him, and he was even more uncomfortable.

This person is terrifying, isn't he...... Cook thought to himself.

The young knight on the opposite side stepped forward and looked at Cook carefully for a long time before asking, "I said you, how old are you this year?"

"Uh...... 16 years old......"

Hearing this, the knight young man's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "What? 16 years old? Hey, Rio, it's amazing, you Lai Yi Yuan really picked up a treasure, 16-year-old second-order ability, I haven't heard of it before!"

"No...... In fact...... Cook is only a first-order ability......"

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds because of Rio's words, and the knight youth became more and more uncalm, and it was vaguely visible that his face had burst into blue muscles, and then the knight youth said coldly: "Rio, this is the headquarters of the Lai Yi Academy, recruiting the ability, then at least it must be a second-order ability, what do you mean by recruiting a first-order ability now?"

Eh, is there such a rule? Cook was visibly surprised.

"Calm down, Xiao Mo, this is the person introduced by your grandfather who wrote a letter of recommendation. Rio said.

Hearing this, Cook blurted out in surprise: "Old man Hal is his grandfather?"

On the other side, the young knight fell silent after hearing his grandfather's name, and did not speak, but looked at Cook quietly, as if he was looking for something from Cook.

After a long time, the young knight sighed and said, "Since it was recommended by my grandfather personally, then I won't say anything, but you have to be careful in the future, some of the old antiques in the councilor's cabinet are not so easy to talk about." ”

"It doesn't matter, our Laiyi Academy is a direct organ of the Empress, and it is not subject to the interference and jurisdiction of any other agency, so those old guys don't care about them at all. Rio said lightly.

The young knight glanced at Rio and said, "I wish things were really that simple." ”

After saying this, the knight young man glanced at Cook again, as if he didn't want to say anything more, turned around and walked directly to one place, after walking for four or five seconds, he suddenly turned his head and yelled at Rio: "Don't let me hear you call me Xiao Mo again!" After snorting heavily, he left directly.

After this little episode, Rio also took Cook to the office of the Lai Yi Academy, and it is worth mentioning that the work site of the Lai Yi Yuan is actually in the central palace of the palace, that is, the place where the empress is located, and this office is also a room in this palace.

As soon as he entered the office, Rio said in an exaggerated tone: "Everyone, stop, here's the newcomer, here's the newcomer." ”

But I have to say that his words are like magic, and everyone in the office really stopped working, looked at them one by one, and when they saw Cook behind Rio, they were all full of surprise, and they rushed over.

"Wow, it's really a newcomer. ”

"I'll see, I'll see, hey, why are you so young. ”

"It's better to be younger, I feel like my skin is getting worse and worse all day long in front of you old men. ”

"What a thing, what an old man, the oldest of us is only 30 years old, how can he be old. ”

"yes...... I'm 30 years old, it's been 30 years! I haven't even been in a young relationship!"

"No...... I'm 30 years old, and my youth has nothing to do with you. ”

……

Seeing everyone muttering, Rio lowered his forehead, clapped his hands, and said, "Calm down, you guys have been like this, and you can't go on any topic." ”

Forehead...... There is some truth to this. The six people suddenly quieted down, and Rio gestured slightly to Cook, and Cook stepped forward, nodded slightly at the six people, and said, "That...... My name is Cook, can ...... It's a privilege to work here. ”

"Oh~" These six people let out a long sigh with a tacit understanding.

And then, under the guidance of Rio, Cook gradually stopped being so restrained, and then coupled with everyone's self-introduction, he finally stopped feeling so strange.

The following is the information of these eight people in the Lai Yi Temple:

Rio, the current dean of the Lai Yi Academy, 26 years old, a second-order ability, the ability name [Absolute Translation]

Fenris, intelligence processor of the Rhean Academy, 27 years old, second-order ability, ability name [original backtrack]

Manton, Executive Officer of the Ryan Academy, 24 years old, second-order ability, ability name [Plane Forgery]

Jed, Executive Officer of the Ryano Academy, 30 years old, second-order ability, ability name [Quality Conversion]

Hailando, executive officer of the Laiyi Academy, 23 years old, second-order ability, ability name [Lost Flower]

Duke, Censor of the Ryano Academy, 26 years old, second-order ability, ability name [Void]

Maisjie, Judge of the Ryano Academy, 25 years old, second-order ability, ability name [Anti-Food]

Cook, Executive Officer of the Ryano Academy, 16 years old, first-order ability, ability name [Copy]

"That's not right, Dean! Cook is still only a first-order ability, and the executive can't do it!"

"That's right, Dean, it's rare to have a little brother, so don't burden him too much. ”

After hearing that Cook's position was designated as an executive, Manton and Hylando immediately protested, the executive is a special profession that specializes in going out to deal with disaster abilities, and it is also the most risky profession, how can a first-order ability be competent!

Rio was also full of helplessness, sighed and said: "That, this is what Old Man Hal asked for directly in the letter, and I can't help it." ”

"Huh?!, is the old man serious?"

For the yelling of these two people, Rio now directly ignored it, looked up at the ceiling, his face was full of wonder, and he muttered from time to time, it could be seen that he was also a headache about this matter, for a long time, Rio seemed to think of something, suddenly got up from the swivel chair, pulled out a drawer of the desk, took out an ice-blue quaint pistol, and said to Cook: "By the way, Cook, this ice flower is yours now." ”

"Huh?" Puzzled, Cook stepped forward, took the pistol, and muttered, "This is an ability item?"

In this regard, Rio nodded and said, "Yes, the name is Binghua, and it is an ability prop used by Old Man Hal in the early years, which is also what he mentioned in his letter." ”

"Eh, does Old Man Hal care so much about Cook?"

"Could it be the mistake of the early years?"

"Won't you...... Is this the kind of person the old man is?"

"It's hard to say. ”

……

Here, Fenris and the others had begun to whisper on the side. As for Cook, his eyes had already focused on the ice flower in his hand at this time.

The prototype of the ice flower can be clearly seen to be a mass-produced pistol from decades ago, except that the whole body is dyed ice blue, it is really no different, but when Cook tries to inject the ability energy into it, a stripe began to emerge from the whole body of the gun, glowing with blue fluorescence, and what is even more amazing is that there is a trace of cold air emerging at the front end of the muzzle, which is constantly gushing and entwining, and finally intertwined into a strange snowflake pattern. This made Cook deeply fascinated by this gun at once, and after a long time, he heard Cook can't suppress his excitement and whispered: "Great!"

Ice Flower...... Vaguely, Cook couldn't help but be full of fantasies and longings for the future, and he felt that a new life began today.
