Vol. 3 Adventures in the Neutral Zone Chapter 16: The Eve (3)
In the dead of night, Yang Haohui lay on the bed in the dormitory in a daze. Since the weather has gradually turned to autumn, there has been more rain. There were far fewer days with clear skies, and most of the situation was gray. He had neither read nor slept tonight, and had wanted to look at the stars, but all he could see was clouds and a little moonlight.
He felt a little melancholy about the absence of stars, but he still enjoyed the silence. Since he entered the school, he has rarely had such a free time. Developing his abilities, training, and thinking about tactics before re-assessment, he is overdrawn almost every day.
It's so tiring...... He exhaled, it was a day when I felt my whole body ache when I remembered it.
But it's worth it, Yang Haohui took out the yuan value card to see, at least after entering school, he can use his own strength to "work" to make money, not to mention wealth, at least food and clothing are worry-free, which is also the most important reason why he decided to continue to take the road of guards. Daily life has expenses, and if he leaves the Dream Soul Academy, he can't guarantee that he will be able to find this kind of university palace with points rules.
Is this the way of life of a person in a society framed by Yuan Energy? Human beings can directly manipulate the elements of nature with their consciousness, use conch to make phone calls, and instead of the police, they have changed their names to be called guards...... Even though he has been in this new world for a long time, he can always feel a sense of unreality in the dead of night.
There was a sudden knock on the door, no more, no less, exactly three times, and the tone was flat and unchanged. Yang Haohui was stunned, opened the door of the dormitory, and Han Shihao, who was wearing pajamas, stood at the door. Yang Haohui originally thought that it was him, and such a stereotypical knock on the door would only be made by a person with a serious personality like Han Shihao.
"Sorry Yang Haohui, excuse me. Han Shihao said apologetically.
"No, I didn't sleep. Yang Haohui brought Han Shihao into the room, moved a stool for him to sit down, and sat on the bed himself.
Han Shihao looked at the dark room: "If you haven't slept, why haven't you lit the light?"
"It's usually like this, and Zhenjing also has to spend points. Yang Haohui said.
"It's like what you would say. Han Shihao nodded.
Vibrator is the wick of a rocking lamp, which adjusts the brightness by the number of hits. Yang Haohui still liked this thing at first, there was no danger of candles and electric lights, and the method of use was very simple, shake it if you wanted to use it, and blow it out if you didn't want to use it. It wasn't until later that Yang Haohui discovered that the vibrating crystal would gradually shrink with the increase in the number of uses, and he never used it again, and this stone was actually a consumable.
"I will shine myself. Yang Haohui said this, stretched out a finger, and a slightly seven-colored light jumped from his fingertips, which he usually relies on to read books at night.
"Oh, it's so convenient. Han Shihao has expressed similar feelings more than once.
"That's how the 'flash bomb' was used in today's test, but it takes a long time to charge up the light that is bright during the test, and the extractor is not very proficient. Yang Haohui said, "What are you looking for me?" Brother Zhu, you should usually sleep early. ”
"Thank you. Han Shihao said sincerely, "I wanted to say it a long time ago." ”
"What do you mean?" Yang Haohui didn't understand.
"Today's test, and the entrance exam earlier" Han Shihao sat on the chair, his upper body bowed slightly, "Without you, we wouldn't be able to enroll, you helped this team too much, obviously these should be the responsibility of me, the captain." ”
"That's so kind...... No, I was also trying to get into school for myself. Yang Haohui was a little overwhelmed.
"It's going to be the first fight tomorrow and to be honest, I'm a little nervous. Han Shihao suddenly said, "So I wanted to talk to you, and I came to your door unconsciously......."
"What are you talking about?"
"You....... Are you afraid of death?" Han Shihao hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Of course I'm afraid of death. Yang Haohui replied quickly.
"If one day, I mean what if...... If you were going to die, what would your expression feel would be?" Han Shihao asked again.
"Definitely going to cry. Yang Haohui imagined for a moment, "I will probably kneel on the ground and beg for mercy." ”
Han Shihao was slightly stunned, with a strange look on his face.
"Isn't it weird?" Yang Haohui said.
"I thought you wouldn't answer that. Han Shihao seemed a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.
"Why? Everyone should be afraid of death. I'm not reacting properly?"
"yes, because you're strong. Han Shihao said.
"Me?" Yang Haohui pointed at himself, "You are the strongest in the team, right? I am the weakest, except for Ye Ruohua of the 'Healing Department', I can't even beat Lan Borou alone." If I hadn't known you, I'd have thought you'd be showing off your strength to me in disguise. ”
"It's not ......" Han Shihao was a little embarrassed, "It's true that you only have a first order, but I still think you're very strong, the strongest in the squad." ”
"I saw through the loopholes in the rules of the entrance exam, and came up with one exquisite plan after another, with such a powerful Yuan Energy as Light, and so many powerful Yuan Techniques, and even created my own two-color Holy Light in just one month....... You are so strong, you are actually afraid of death. Han Shihao paused, "I originally thought that if it were you, you would definitely come up with an exquisite plan and then fight your way to the death." ”
"No one is not afraid of death. Yang Haohui didn't know what to say, so he could only honestly say his truest thoughts, "If there is a chance to fight back, I will try to do it." If you can't do it, then you can only wait for death. ”
"Really...... That's right. Han Shihao suddenly sighed, "Thank you." ”
This brainless sentence made Yang Haohui stunned again: "Thank me for what?"
"You know what? My dream is to become a good guard and contribute to the peace of the Tian Yuan Realm. Han Shihao's hands suddenly clenched his trousers and let go, Yang Haohui stared through the faint light of his fingertips, and found that Han Shihao's wide palms were actually trembling slightly.
"Will there be any unexpected situations? Will you encounter a strong enemy? Actual combat is not a school exam, if you encounter these ....... Am I going to die? It's just a practical lesson, and I tremble with fear just thinking about it. Han Shihao said faintly, "So I said thank you, it turns out that I am not the only one who is afraid of death, even you." ”
After saying this, Han Shihao didn't speak, and kept his head down and didn't speak for a long time. The room fell silent all of a sudden, except for the "ticking" of the wall clock.
Actually, that's what I wanted to say....... Yang Haohui silently sighed in his heart. Han Shihao's usual calmness and tall and strong body often make him forget that he is only a 12-year-old child.
Elementalists are also human, and if they are humans, they will fear unknown dangers and death, even if they are inspired to become guards.
"It's okay...... Human. Yang Haohui was overwhelmed by this dead atmosphere, and it took a while to hold back this sentence.
"But a good guard should not be afraid of death. "Han Shihao is still a little listless.
"Don't worry, you're still going to die when you shit, it's useless to think too much. Yang Haohui tried to comfort.
"You're really....... It's justified. Han Shihao smiled bitterly and buried his head lower.
The atmosphere is even colder, and Yang Haohui is really not a character who will comfort others.
After a long period of silence, Yang Haohui suddenly sighed and took a silver conch on the desk, this is not the one that Bacardi gave him, this communication snail is engraved with the words "Xuegong".
"Brother Zhu, let's have supper. Yang Haohui patted him on the shoulder.
"What?" Han Shihao was a little dumbfounded by this divine twist.
"That cafeteria outside the school palace....... It seems to be called 'Food Banquet Palace', which is the place where we eat hot pot, and there is a food delivery service, all day long. You know Grandpa Bacardi, you should know this. Yang Haohui said while knocking on the conch three times, "three times" is the number of the Unicom canteen, "I can't talk very well, so I can only invite you to have a supper, I will be very happy when I am full, I hope you can be happy after you are full." ”
Han Shihao looked at the communication snail handed to him in a daze.
"Don't worry, I'm in for a treat, I usually save some points. The corners of Yang Haohui's eyes twitched slightly when he said this.
"I can eat your treat, I can brag about this for the rest of my life. Han Shihao suddenly laughed, he took the communication snail and said a big string, "Fried beef and camel meat, roast goose double, assorted salad bowl, and a barrel of ale!"
Half an hour later, through the light at Yang Haohui's fingertips, the two enjoyed this gluttonous supper happily and distressedly.
This supper is extraordinarily fragrant.
At the same time, the third floor of the Yeyin Palace, the Yeyin dormitory.
It seems that she has just finished bathing, and Yeyin's long silver hair is still wet. The bathrobe enveloped her graceful body, and the soft light of the rocking lamp sprinkled on her beautiful face, reflecting the snow-white luster of mutton fat jade. At this time, she was a little less powerful than a ninth-order powerhouse, and a little more weak and charming that was unique to women.
A yellowed old photo was lying quietly in her hand, the corners had been slightly curled, and there were dense fingerprints on the surface of the photo, obviously I don't know how many times it had been looked through.
The photo shows seven different teenagers and girls, sitting around Yeyin in the center, smiling brightly together at Scissorhands. Everyone smiled so sweetly and happily....... Every single one of them had laughed like that before.
"The ghost class has reopened." Yeyin gently stroked the faces of each child in the photo, muttering softly, as if in a dream, "You know what? They're all cute, they're all handsome, and they're all so talented. When I look at them, the teacher always thinks of you, it's the teacher who is not good, it's the teacher's ........"
A few tears fell silently onto the photo, and Yeyin's shoulders twitched slightly.
The tears are very cold, I don't know if it's because of the autumn mood that is gradually getting colder, or because of the heart that has been frozen for a long time. And in the principal's office, Qianji also looked in the direction of Yeyin Palace with hazy eyes, and sighed silently.
Heaven and earth are silent, and there is no word for a night.
On November 9, 618 A.D., the next day always arrives as scheduled.
After breakfast, the five of them waited in the lobby as previously arranged. They habitually point fingers at the night's selfie and wait for the nightshade to be late.
But unexpectedly, five minutes before the agreed time, the night sound actually arrived.
"Let's go. Yeyin said two words lightly and led the team out of Yeyin Palace.
The weather was a rare sunny day, with the bright sun shining golden on the yellowing leaves. Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked when they first stepped out of the door, and they stayed in the Yeyin Palace for a month to train, even if the food was delicious and the cooking training was fun, for their children, the outside world was still more attractive.
The Dream Soul School Palace is very large, and Yeyin takes the children all the way to the southwest corner. Today's surprisingly silent is in stark contrast to the five people who are talking and laughing and looking like spring outings.
"What's wrong with the teacher today?" Ye Ruohua stabbed Feng Haogeng beside her.
"Who knows. Feng Haogeng shook his head and lowered his voice, "Old woman, it is inevitable that endocrine disorders ......." Before he finished speaking, he received a strong sturdy slap on the back of the head.
Han Shihao looked nervously at Yeyin, who didn't react, and lowered his voice and said, "Xiaobao, don't pull us if you want to die, don't mess with that female dragon if you have nothing to do." During the night sound test, the scene of shaking him away with his body alone impressed Han Shihao.
Feng Haogeng was pained and pouted: "Don't you also call her a female dragon." ”
Another loud slap in the back of the head.
Ye Ruohua and Lan Borou were amused by these two living treasures, Feng Haogeng was about to return the favor, and Yeyin suddenly spoke at the front: "The teacher has no endocrine disorders, thank you for your concern." As for whether the teacher is a female dragon or not....... When you come back, the teacher will let you both know. ”
The brothers sweated down.
The journey was not short, and everyone walked for nearly 20 minutes to reach the destination. What catches the eye is a large open space, the ground is hard, with a faint gray tinge, which seems to be cement. The neatly arranged white rectangular patterns divide the site in an orderly manner, and Yang Haohui is a little stunned, because the site looks like an oversized parking lot at first glance.
"Teacher, where is this?" Ye Ruohua raised her hand and asked, "If it's a real battle, shouldn't we go to the Guardian Guild?"
There is a chamber of commerce in the Dream Soul Academy, and naturally there is also a built-in Guardian Guild. Ye Ruohua thought that she was going to the guild to take the task, but it was obviously not like it here.
"Don't be surprised. Yeyin said lightly, "The actual combat class is not conducted here, our goal is the 'Forest of the End', at the junction of the Western Metaverse and the Northern Metaverse. In other words, our destination is in the border area of the Western Metaverse. The Dream Soul Palace is located in the central part of the province of Vidiana, and it is too far away for us to reach it on foot. ”
"So here?" Yang Haohui asked.
"It's coming. Nightshade pointed to the sky.
They looked up at Nightshade's fingers, and the next second everyone's eyes were straight.
In the center of the sun wheel, a dark shadow is rapidly magnifying, and a ....... The Dark Shadow of the Wyvern!
The black shadow landed in front of everyone, acting like a milk swallow returning to its nest, but the huge body still smashed into the ground with smoke and dust. The shadow flapped its wide wings and let out a low roar. The smoke and dust were swept away by the wind, revealing the true face of the dark shadow.
It was really a dragon, with black scales, a wide jaw, long fangs, and a long tail that flicked around. Every feature indicates that it is a true wyvern that only exists in legends.
Yang Haohui looked at the behemoth in front of him, and his mouth opened wide in surprise. It's not that he hasn't seen a lot of magical things since he came to the Tianyuan Realm, but after all, they all revolve around "humans". And this real Western dragon, which should only exist in books or imagination, really appeared in front of his eyes.
He now understood why the field was made of concrete, and the dirt floor couldn't bear the weight of the Wyvern. At the same time, he understands why it is designed like a parking lot....... This is an airfield! No, it's a dragon field!
"Don't be afraid. Yeyin raised his hand and touched the jaw of the flying dragon as he spoke, and such a fierce dragon actually squinted his eyes with enjoyment, and spit out his tongue "Ha Huh", like a husky enjoying the master's petting, "This is a dragon primordial beast, we call it 'your'." It is a commonly used means of transportation for human beings, and the Dream Soul Palace is specially domesticated for students to perform tasks, and they are all very docile. ”
"Travel, so we want to ......" Although Yang Haohui probably guessed the meaning of the night sound, he was still afraid of his legs and stomachs.
"Sit down. Nightshade made this fateful request.
All in all, it was a day to remember. Yang Haohui never dreamed that for the first time in his life, he would "take a plane", and this dream would actually come true in the Tianyuan Realm.
Carrying the Ghost Class and Night Sound, the Wyvern stretched out their bodies and fluttered their wings, and they flew towards the Forest of the End, where they began their first practical training class in the Dream Soul Academy.
To be continued......
