Chapter 46: The Prelude to the Opening of the School

The early morning rays of sunlight shone into the flying carriage, and the faint fragrance filled the carriage with a warm feeling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The three boys were slumping asleep: Bald Barron, with his burly body, had taken over most of the bench and slept with the vine in his arms, while Marcus was squeezed into a corner, dreaming Tilna's name, and Maureen and Blackie were half-leaning on Eminor on the other bench and snoring.

The little vampire and the Vessdemonic were whispering to each other, both of them needing a little rest and waking up early. After an evening of talking, the relationship between the two became noticeably closer, especially after Tilna detailed how to earn gold at the Academy.

The light shone silver on the metallic skin of the Vesdemon, and Tilna turned her head to look out the window of the carriage and said to Equino, "We'll be at the academy soon." ”

Before Emino could react, Morin, who heard this, shrugged his ears in his sleep, and a spirit woke up, and rushed to the window to take the best view. Then Marcus opened his black eyes as well, but he was not interested in the view, and still looked at Tilna in revelation.

Barron shifted his body, as if sensing that the carriage had not yet landed, his face changed, and he quickly fell asleep again.

Now, as the morning mist dissipates, the first thing that appears in the distance is an open valley covered with forests, surrounded on three sides by towering mountains and snow-capped peaks, and on the other side is a vast and boundless lake, on which the carriage is speeding towards the valley ahead.

And when the distance was shortened, Mo Lin couldn't help but gasp.

The majestic complex, which stretches from the valley by the lake to the mountainside for hundreds of meters, and then extends to the snow-capped peaks of several thousand meters, from the ancient tree houses to the towers of the ancient castle and the towers made of huge steel rock, all of which are perfectly integrated into the natural scenery. As far as the eye can see, there is a simple and majestic black city wall, like a giant beast that has been coiled for thousands of years, lurking in the mountains.

Such an academy is like a large city fortress, and even with the help of magic, it will probably take generations of manpower and material resources to build, the boy exclaimed.

"The delicate and beautiful treehouses and greenhouses in the lakeside forests belong to the school of nature and life," Tierna pointed and introduced, "The rugged castles and arenas on the mountainside belong to the school of battle and command, and the towers and halls above the snowy peaks belong to the school of classical mages. ”

"The Iluvita School of Magic, which originally consisted only of the classical mage school, later expanded to include the School of Nature and Life, the School of Combat and Command, and the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing. ”

"What about the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing?" Marcas finally couldn't help but ask, this was the one he really liked among the four schools of the academy.

Tilna tilted her head slightly, following the dark red rays from her eyes, and Merlin narrowed her eyes to the sky.

"Ah......h

I saw that above the valley, in the white clouds, a super giant airship faintly appeared, no, it can't be called an airship anymore, it is a floating island. The part that is hidden from the clouds shines with a dark metallic color, and the dense gears and transmission arms, which are larger than the house, are revealing and moving slowly and regularly, like a giant sleeping soundly, exuding an unrivaled aura even in dreams.

"Mechanical Floating Fortress...... Marcus didn't care about aristocratic etiquette, stepped forward and squeezed Merlin aside, greedily stared at the mechanical island in the clouds, and said excitedly: "This is the pinnacle of large magic machines!"

……

……

In a flash, school is about to start.

Marcus certainly didn't get his way to the Mechanical Levitation Fortress, and in fact, the vast majority of the students, regardless of grade, lived in the lakeside dormitory, or rather, in a large castle on the shores of the lake. The castle is said to be a second-age building that was converted by the college to be used as a student dormitory.

The castle has a large hall and a dozen small common rooms, and the room where Morin and his group are now located is a lounge called Shuiyin, which can accommodate dozens of people to chat leisurely. Half of the room is under the surface of the lake, and you can see the view of the shallow water of the lake from a large window, and the water beats rhythmically against the crystal wall window, making a pleasant sound, hence the name of the water sound.

"School is finally coming to school. Stuck in the soft couch, Maureen stretched, "Is there anything for today, Tyrna?"

Approaching the start of school, there are obviously more students returning to school and new students who have registered, and the lounge has become extremely noisy, from time to time students make strange spells to set fire to the furniture, and then the senior on duty will restore it with a repair card with a blue face, and then loudly reprimand the troublesome students.

The repair magic for ordinary items belongs to the Three Rings, and the principle is to build a specific spell model, estimate the elements of the broken part based on the item as a whole, and regenerate the broken part. As a result, the repaired item will always look awkward, not exactly the same as the original.

Because school hasn't really started yet, the sixth-grade seniors on duty can't deduct students' scores, so these days have become the last carnival of some troublemakers.

"What do you think? Is there anything you want to do?" Tilna looked at the other team members, and she had to say that her eyes that shone differently were quite intimidating, at least no spell would greet her.

"The training ground, do you really have to wait until school starts?" asked the burly Barron, doing push-ups with one hand on the carpet. It was the seventh time in a few days that he had asked the question, and he was clearly unhappy with the school's rules.

"Yes for new students, old students can come and go freely with their status imprints, because there are many things to be aware of in the academy's training grounds, and new students can only come and go freely after studying in the course. Tilna replied for the seventh time, not at all impatient.

Marcus was intently drawing with his sketchbook on the side, completely uninterested in anything else. If you flip through his picture book, you can see that every page is painted with Tilna, with different expressions and movements, jewel-like eyes, metallic silver skin, dazzling ear-length blonde hair, and joints with faint blue lines.

Equino was still wiping down her large bag of gold coins.

Blackie floated in front of the window, staring curiously at the strange fish in the lake. It was sucking on a dark yellow magic crystal card, and after all kinds of cute pretenses and pitiful pretenses, Black Fire finally got a magic crystal card full of magic power from Eminor's hand.

......Seeing that everyone else was immersed in their own world, Tyrna's thinking center couldn't help but dull a little, and only after a moment did she say, "Then let's go buy some things today, uniform books, freshman uniforms, and some equipment needed for the course." ”

"Wand!" Morin and Marcus finally remembered what they were missing.

And hearing that he wanted to buy something, the little vampire looked around cautiously and covered the money bag in his arms.

……

Next to the dormitory castle is a short commercial street, flanked by shops selling common utensils and supplies, as well as snacks.

"Barron, why do you have to carry that stone hammer on your back when you buy something. Tilna asked.

"A true warrior does not leave his weapon. Barron replied in a thick voice.

"A true warrior will not leave his tiger rider (weapon). Morin, who was munching on the kebab in his hand, replied vaguely, carrying his short sword and strange musket, but not as conspicuous as Barron's stone hammer.

"When talking to the lady, be careful how ...... you say," Marcas muttered quietly, daring to whisper at this point. During this period of time in the academy, the third son of the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf from the Gesok Empire, faced the challenge of Barron, whose strength was unknown, and finally did not hold back, and fought with the Kadir boy. Needless to say, the result was naturally a fat beating.

By this time they had already purchased books and school uniforms, and were about to buy wands for Maureen and Marcus.

"Tilna, let me tell you, we have met an old crook in Sororumi, the famous commercial capital to the south," Marcas muttered, and he deliberately changed his tone of contemptuous aristocratic tone in the presence of the Vess Spirit, "That old man sells wands, a basic wand, guess how much?Five hundred and fifty gold coins!" The blond-haired and black-eyed boy exclaimed angrily, "I've never heard such a black-hearted price!, right, Merlin?"

Hearing this, the blue light in Tilna's left eye rose and fell, and she said in her soft but steady voice, "Actually...... The price of the wand is the same here. ”

Morin, who was about to nod, froze his neck.

Marcus was like being struck by lightning, and said in disbelief: "You, what are you talking about?"

Vessdemonic shook his head and led his team to the wand shop.

I saw an old brown plaque hanging in the dimly lit window, on which were written in a lingua franca a few large flying golden characters: Wang Del's Wand, since the 579th year of the Quaternary Age, only the best wands have been produced. There is also a line of small print underneath: Introductory Basic Wand, five hundred and fifty gold.

Seeing this familiar plaque, Morin's heart was filled with ominousness.

Sure enough, following Tilna into the shop, first a man-tall wand, piled up in bundles like bushes, and then a familiar old man, with a white goatee and a gray robe, sitting behind the counter and carving his wand intently.

"You...... You," Marcus exclaimed, pointing to the old man with a goatee, with some shuddering, "why are you again!

The old man who was carving the wand raised his head, saw a few new students, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's you little ghosts! He put down the carving knife in his hand and explained, "Solo rumi is my hometown, and I go back and live there for a while every summer, but I'm still in the academy most of the time. After saying that, he slyly winked at the grief-stricken Marcas: "Beginner Basic Wand, five hundred and fifty gold, thanks to your patronage." ”

"You're buying and selling!" Marcus cried, "you profiteer......

"Marcas, be polite!" Tilna's soft voice stiffened, and she said with some anger, her dark red gaze swept over the boy, explaining "Master Wangdel is a teacher of the School of Nature and Life, and the wands he makes, especially the beginner's basic wand, represent Todel's highest level. Even the elven craftsmen in the forest of Meath thought they were inferior. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, beautiful Miss Vesdemon," the old man named Wang Del grinned, his smile was indescribably obscene, and he did not have the demeanor of a master, and continued: "It turns out that these three little ones have been assigned to your group, Tilna, you have to lead them to work hard, it is said that this year's freshmen are quite competitive. ”

"I'll lead them to the effort. Tierna nodded gracefully.

The old man's gaze turned to Barron again, and said, "Young Kadir over there, do you need a wand, for only five hundred and fifty gold, you can have the best beginner basic wand in all of Todel." ”

Barron shook his head a little nervously, obviously frightened by the price of five hundred and fifty gold, and secretly glad that he had prepared his wand.

Proudly taking the gold coins of Marcus and Morin, Wang Del stroked his goatee and sighed: "These days, students don't buy wands in the academy, and business is not good." Do you need my help in choosing your wand?"

"Of course not! I've read more books than your beard!" Marcas's face was already flushed with grief and anger, and he was afraid that Morin on the side would lose his momentum because he didn't know, so he hurriedly added: "Just touch the wand with your hand, close your eyes and feel it, and pick out a stalk that can resonate with you." ”

"Don't be too serious," Marcus waved his hand again, glanced at the old man with a goatee named Wang Deer, and said with disdain: "This introductory basic wand is just to retain some traditional education, and it has no practicality for a long time, and now the focus is on learning to use magic cards, as for the wand, just pick up a stick that can be used." ”
