VII. Registration (Final)
The tall and rugged figure shrouded Zhang Longqian like a lingering shadow, making her heart no longer able to return to its usual appearance, and the overflowing gray aura could even be detected by Ji Haiyun beside her, how could the nearest Feng Xing not know?
Then Fengxing's unhappy voice sounded in his head.
"It's not in vain! It's just one or two failures, and because of this, is it about to fall to the bottom? ”
With a disdainful tone, it didn't stimulate Zhang Longqian to refute, she didn't even make any response to Feng Xing's words, she just walked silently and aimlessly with heavy steps, which made Feng Xing more and more unhappy.
"What are you worried about? Don't forget, you were taught by me, how can you be weak? ”
"...... 'How can it be weak'?" Finally had a slight reaction to Feng Xing's words, but the answer in Zhang Longqian's mind was full of self-deprecation, "If I'm not weak, how can I lose so completely?" Big brother, don't comfort me, people...... You always have to recognize the reality......"
Fengxing snorted disdainfully.
"'Reality'? The reality is what I say! If you don't believe me, try it out with others and you'll be able to see the real reality! ”
"...... competition?"
"That's right, instead of looking for those students who grew up in the Dao Dharma Realm since childhood, but fighting with people with similar backgrounds to you, you will be able to understand how much power you have."
Feng Xing's determined tone only caused Zhang Longqian to smile bitterly.
"This kind of thing...... Isn't it the same as finding self-confidence from the weak? ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Feng Xing retorted unhappily: "It's completely different, okay?!" You must know that although you are certainly not as good as those who have been learning spells since childhood, you are ...... to those who have only studied spells for two months like you."
"Enough big brother." Zhang Longqian opened his mouth to interrupt Feng Xing's words, "I'm not in that mood now, you let me be quiet." ”
As soon as the words similar to "order" were spoken, even if Fengxing was full of reluctance, he could only quiet down.
Ji Haiyun beside him didn't seem to know how to speak without speaking, and the wind star in the sea of consciousness also fell silent, and Zhang Longqian walked aimlessly in the silence that surrounded him, with heavy steps.
She actually understands what Feng Xing said, after all, this is her own body, and having a bit of strength is naturally what she knows best. However, it is this state of being more than the top and more than the bottom that makes her particularly disgusted.
It seems that they are stronger than ordinary people on weekdays, but they can't protect them from the crisis that endangers their best friends, what is the use of this half-strength?
A thick self-loathing swelled in the bottom of his gray heart, Zhang Longqian pursed his lips, but suddenly felt that his arm was being brought, and Ji Haiyun's brisk voice came from his ears.
"Miss, be careful."
Because of Ji Haiyun's movements, he involuntarily leaned to the side, and then saw a student walking past him, and Zhang Longqian realized that he had almost hit someone. After turning her head and whispering thanks to Ji Haiyun, she noticed that the surroundings had become lively for some time, and in front of her was a quaint wooden building.
Even if she was a road idiot like Zhang Longqian, she still recognized what kind of place this was, so she looked at the wooden building where people were coming and going, and made a slightly confused voice: "Student meeting?" How can so many people ......?"
Pulling Zhang Longqian to stand on the side of the road, Ji Haiyun looked at the student association wooden building, which was much more lively and busy than usual, and said with a smile: "I heard that it seems to be the registration time for the 'Autumn Festival', so there will be more people." ”
"'Autumn Festival'?"
Glancing at Zhang Longqian's puzzled expression, Ji Haiyun explained simply.
The academy is not an ordinary "school", so there are naturally many strange places in it, such as the spiritual research field where Zhang Longqian once went, the Zhibo Pavilion of the library, etc., and there is also a place called "Yiyi Mountain".
In the two months since she arrived at the academy, Zhang Longqian has learned a lot of things, so she still knows a little bit about this "Wing Mountain".
According to the record of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Yiyi Mountain "has many monsters, many strange fish, many white jade, many pit worms, many strange snakes, many strange trees, and cannot be above", it is an extremely dangerous mountain for human beings, but for the mage - especially the people of the doctor, it is a treasure mountain, almost all the animals and plants on the mountain are highly toxic, and the toxins extracted from it have extremely high medicinal value, which naturally makes the people of the doctor attach great importance to it, and the Yiyi Mountain has once become a holy place that all the people who study medicine yearn for. However, for some reason, a long time ago, the Wing Mountain left this space and went to another unknown dimension, and it was not until the establishment of the academy a thousand years ago that it was found again.
According to Ji Haiyun, in order not to lose the trace of the Yiyi Mountain, the academy took a lot of effort to open the road to the mountain, but after all, it was a violation of the laws of space, so even if it successfully established a channel in the "Medical Medicine", it could only be opened once a year, and it could only be opened for three hours at a time, and the number of people who entered the Qiyi Mountain in this short period of three hours was strictly limited.
Seven people.
Neither more nor less, it must be "seven people" to enter the Wing Mountain through a time-limited space passage.
As long as the students with a little common sense understand how valuable the mountain is, it is even more valuable for doctors, so in order to strive for this rare entry qualification, there is a competition that is held every year.
Autumn Festival.
The Wing Hill Pass opens on August 15 every year, so the autumn festival is held before that, usually within a week, and the duration of the competition is adjusted according to the number of participants. Contestants are in groups of two, and the first three groups that win in the end will be eligible to enter the mountain, and the president of the student association will lead the team to enter, and the students who enter will be allowed to move freely in the mountain within a limited period of three hours.
"In other words, as long as you go to the Wing Mountain, you can get a lot of rare materials, so this competition is quite popular, if it weren't for the fact that the time happened not long before the 'Academy Competition', it is estimated that more than half of the students would participate." After a brief summary, Ji Haiyun looked at the student club Mulou who had gathered many students, and said with a smile, "However, I heard that in the first two years, it was not the top three people who entered, but the three groups of second, third and fourth places entered." ”
Hearing that this was different from what Ji Haiyun had just said, Zhang Long subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
"Because the group that won first gave up their qualifications in the end."
Supposedly, the purpose of participating in the autumn festival is to go to Mt. Wing, isn't it? Why give up qualifications?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Longqian asked speculatively: "Could it be ...... Did the champions of those two groups participate in the Autumn Festival for another purpose? ”
Blinking, Ji Haiyun smiled: "It's not 'two groups', it's 'that person'." I heard that the champions in the previous two years were all in the same group, to be exact, it was the same person, and the other person in their group was just here to make up the numbers, so it was the same person who decided to give up the qualification. ”
A two-year champion?
This made Zhang Longqian curious: "Who?" ”
Ji Haiyun was about to answer, but he heard a commotion among the students, so he and Zhang Longqian both turned their heads to look over, and saw that the students gathered at the door waiting to sign up gradually got out of the way, and in their fearful and curious eyes, a tall man walked out.
Zhang Long's eyes widened after a moment's slight.
“…… Guan Rongtu? How did he ......? ”
"I guess I'm here to sign up."
"Sign up?"
Looking at Guan Rongtu, who didn't care about the eyes around him and just walked out of the student club with a bored face, Ji Haiyun leaned into Zhang Longqian, who was full of incredulity, and whispered in his ear.
"The first two consecutive winners of the Autumn Festival...... That's him. ”
