"Will it be cold?"

The black-haired young man was dressed in a white gold college uniform and a white cloak marked with the emblem of St. Rini College on his chest.

"It's alright, Doro. The blonde girl was dressed in the same costume, she stretched out a hand from her cloak, gently caught a few crystal snowflakes, stared at them turning into water droplets and melting in the palm of her hand, the girl raised her head, stared at the sky where the snowflakes were flying, and smiled: "I didn't expect it to snow on the first day I arrived in Solomon City." ”

"Reach back, Elsie. Doro frowned, tugged at Elsie's cloak, and wrapped her hand back in.

"I said it's okay, it's not very cold, and there is no wind today. Elsie laughed, but didn't expose her hands to the air anymore, "This weather, when you don't speak, it's really quiet, the snowflakes fall quietly, fall quietly on the ground, and then melt quietly." ”

Because of the snow, there were hardly any people on the streets, and the snowflakes were not as noisy as the rain, and they couldn't see the surroundings clearly, as if they were the only ones left.

"It's time to go back, the deputy hospital is waiting for us. Doro interrupted her thoughts, and Elsie nodded, "Let's go." ”

......

On December 9, 2000, the largest and most highly participated tournament in the Hernonian Empire, the new battle is about to start, and the primaries held in various cities are just hors d'oeuvres to reduce the number of participants.

As early as two days before the official start of the competition, that is, three days after the end of the primary elections in each city, the selected places were reported, and the imperial capital was also properly arranged, and all relevant personnel, including the leading teachers and participating students, rushed to the imperial capital.

The Saint Rini Academy is quite convenient, not far from the city of Cronno, you can go directly and then go through the teleportation array in the central square, and you will arrive at the imperial capital in the afternoon of the same day.

The accompanying students and teachers, Du Sen, were still very satisfied with the arrangement of the imperial capital, except for Funnie, because the stations arranged for the contestants were allocated according to the city, which meant that Saint Rini had to live with Castan and Ophimes, and Kastan's team was led by Inida, who was extremely difficult to deal with Funi.

To be honest, the moment they met Castan College in the central square of Colono, they met each other and led the team, and the students all understood that this game trip, I am afraid that it is better to stop at the competition venue in the station, mainly because the two of them don't know what the deep hatred is, and no one will spare anyone, but fortunately, Opheches's Kenady also came, and I only hope that he can suppress the two of them.

As soon as they came out of the teleportation array, Elsie and the others were shocked by this prosperous and unique city, Solomon is also a huge urban agglomeration, and the students came through the teleportation array, so they appeared directly in the center of the city.

It is a completely different style from the Crono, the architecture of the Crono is simple, mysterious and holy, many of the buildings have rounded towers, and they are carved with metaphorical lines.

The city of Solomon is different, the buildings here are high, and the buildings are more square and similar, the floors in the center of the city are even more so, it is simply towering in the sky, and even the upper floors have interconnected passages, appearing in the central square, surrounded by a circle of architectural jungles, its shocking effect can be imagined.

In order to take care of the students fairly, even if the number of contestants in some cities is not large, the imperial capital still arranges that people in each city have separate stations, and after the colleges arrive one after another, they are received by uniformly dressed personnel in the central square.

Of course, in order to make it easier for the competition personnel to identify, the academy, including Saint Lini, also wore neat uniforms. Upon arriving at Chronono's station, Elsie faintly heard someone calling out to her.

"Doro?"

Following in the large army, Elsie, who had been following Doro's side, walked in a little more, and Doro bowed his head sideways: "What's wrong?"

"I think I hear someone calling me. Elsie said with some uncertainty, she looked up and looked around, but unfortunately the height problem, she only saw the students around her, and saw nothing.

Doro also looked around and asked softly, "Did you hear me wrong?"

"I'm not sure, I heard two sounds vaguely, and it felt somewhat familiar. ”

"Someone you know?"

Elsie glanced back, but still couldn't see anything, she shook her head, "It's too vague to hear clearly." ”

"Let's go in first. ”

Elsie looked up and found that he had arrived at the place where the contestants were stationed, facing the gate, entering the courtyard and having buildings on three sides at will.

The three colleges of St. Rini all tacitly chose one side of the building, St. Rini is the right, and the other colleges also chose their own ones, as long as they don't pick the same room, there is basically no conflict.

The high floors are lonely, and the first floor is too noisy, compared to the second floor, which is not too deserted, and can clearly see the scene in the courtyard through the window.

Funi took the lead, took St. Rini to occupy a row of rooms on the second floor, walked the corridor over, single room, Doro was next door to Elsie, Elsie greeted everyone, after entering the house, he observed, the environment was not bad, it was clean, the bed was also very big, she had just put down the package she was carrying, and she heard a knock on the door.

Opening the door and seeing Doro standing in the doorway, Elsie asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Do you want to go out and have a look, if someone really knows you and calls you, maybe you haven't gone far yet. Doro said.

Elsie didn't expect him to think about this, and quickly nodded: "Okay!"

"Wait!"

Doro reluctantly grabbed her and turned her around: "Look out the window, it's snowing." ”

"So fast?" Elsie was a little surprised, she hurriedly ran to the window and looked on her stomach, and just after a while inside, it was really snowing outside.

"Take out the cloak and put it on, it'll get a little cold when you get wet. Doro instructed.

"Good. Elsie pulled out his cloak and fastened it, and saw that Doro only knew how to ask others, but he was still wearing only his hospital clothes, and pushed him back to put on the cloak.

It wasn't until they both wrapped each other tightly that they were satisfied, and as soon as they reached the hallway, they saw Funnie poking her head out of the doorway, "What are you going to do? ”

Doro nodded: "Something, I'll be back soon." ”

Funnie pouted, but nodded, "Okay, there's still time anyway, I'll talk about it when you come back." ”

"Thank you, Vice Hospital. Elsie smiled.

"Go and come back quickly. Funnie reached out a hand and beckoned, and both of them answered, and then went downstairs one after the other.

As soon as they walked out of the gate, Elsie and the others were stopped by the guards: "What are you doing here?"

Elsie was a little overwhelmed, and Doro stepped forward and replied, "There is something to go out and come back soon." ”

The guard's expression was serious: "You must know that the new battle is about to begin, you students have received a lot of attention, there are good intentions and malicious intentions, in the station, we will ensure your safety, and we dare not guarantee it outside." ”

He explained so much, the main thing is that they can't stop the students' actions, and can only persuade them verbally.

"We are responsible for what happens. Doro knew what he meant, and he knew what he wanted to hear.

At this point, the guard stepped out of the way: "Alright then, be careful. ”

"Thank you. Elsie understood the guard's kindness and thanked him softly.

The two walked a few meters, and Doro asked, "Where did you just hear someone calling you?"

Elsie pointed in the direction he came, "It seems to be around there." "There were a lot of onlookers just now, so it was crowded, but now people have gone in and the crowd has dispersed.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

The two of them looked around the streets, and the flow of people came and went, but they didn't find a familiar figure.

Elsie was a little disappointed: "Did I really hear it wrong?"

Doro pursed his lips and said, "Not necessarily. ”

“？”

Elsie was about to ask, but suddenly heard an incomparably clear shout from behind him: "Elsie!"

As soon as Elsie turned around, he was hugged into a big embrace, and finally struggled out to look at the comer, this trademark cheerful smile and braids, who is it not Lanresa?

"Lanresa!" Elsie showed a happy expression, she exclaimed, looked at the old man Edwin with a staff next to her, and said hello obediently, Edwin snorted from his nose and nodded, which was considered to be the answer.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Elsie took Lan Ruisha's hand a little excitedly, Lan Ruisha touched her head, and said with a smile: "The annual new battle of Henonia, of course we have to join in the fun of such an interesting thing." ”

"What are you ......" Lan Ruisha glanced at the two of them wearing uniform uniforms and the emblem on their cloaks, "Yes, I'm not surprised by the one next to you, but Elsie, you can too, little genius?"

Elsie quickly shook her hand, "No, no, no, I'm coming... Come and see, it's not a competition, I'm not up to the standard. ”

"Oh, that's it, that's fine, why don't we just come and have a good time. Lan Ruisha put her shoulder, "I haven't seen her for almost a year, the first time we met was early spring, but now it's early winter." Lan Ruisha looked at the snowflakes sprinkled with emotion.

"Yes, little Elsie, I haven't grown taller and more beautiful in a year, and I was a little uncertain just now, but I asked the people around me which college your dress belonged to, and I knew it when I heard that it was Saint Lini from Cronor, so I quickly called you. But you students are surrounded by guards who don't let us get close. ”

Hearing this, Elsie replied: "It turns out that you are really calling me, I thought I heard it wrong, thanks to Doro to accompany me out to have a look, otherwise I would have missed it with you." ”

Lan Ruisha smiled: "It's really thanks to you, I'm in such a hurry to call you, mainly because I have something to give you." ”

"What is it?" asked Elsie curiously.

Lan Ruisha fumbled in her pocket for a long time, and finally took out a thing, shook it and asked, "How is it?
