Chapter 1398: Machu's University
Machu ultimately chose spell linguistics.
The reason why he chose this discipline as the research direction of his life in the next three years is not because he loves it very much, but because Machu has seriously thought about one thing, that is...... What advantages does he have.
As someone who just happened to be eligible for admission to the University of Atlanta, he was actually quite poor, so the question before him was what he could do, not what he wanted to do.
He'd heard that entering the University of Atlanta doesn't mean it's safe. The University of Atlanta implements a strict entry and strict exit policy, because it has just been established not long ago, and "strict entry" may still be a little wet, but "strict out" is really being implemented.
Therefore, if you perform too poorly at the University of Atlanta, you are likely to be dropped out of the university.
Machu definitely didn't want to be one of them.
In this way, because of his own linguistic ability, it may be the best choice to take spell linguistics as a research direction.
In this way, Machu submitted his application and began his college life.
......
At the beginning of his college life, Machu's biggest feeling was that the entire University of Atlanta was in space.
Yes, space.
The area of the university is extremely large, and there are seven or eight stone buildings for accommodation alone, each of which has been carefully designed to accommodate thousands of people.
However, it was not until a month after the start of school that a small number of people lived in these stone buildings.
Usually during the day, I don't see any problems, and the popularity is quite sufficient, but at night, the campus becomes ghostly, and when I walk to the path in the university, the wind is gusting, like a cemetery.
This is really too few people in the university, and the university is too big, like a few beans sprinkled in a pot, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit lonely.
But this situation did not last long, and in Machu's memory, it must have been two months and began to gradually change.
As the weather warms up, winter leaves, and spring arrives, groups of new students with unfamiliar faces, like mushrooms that have rained, suddenly emerge from all corners of the University of Atlanta.
From the other party's conversation, Machu vaguely understood that these were all people who had passed a new qualifying exam for the university. The new qualification exam is more difficult, but the number of participants is also higher, so the number of new entrants is not less than before.
In this way, the university has finally become somewhat normal, at least not to discourage people from wandering outside the dorm at night.
And that's just the beginning.
After a few more months, more new students with unfamiliar faces descended like torrential rains in the summer, squeezing into the somewhat crowded dormitories, making the dormitories visibly overcrowded.
In fact, not only dormitories, but also libraries, cafeterias, classrooms, everywhere is crowded with people.
On a hot morning, Machu glanced at the desperately long queue in the cafeteria, and realized with some hindsight that the good old days of few people should be gone forever.
Then, as time passed, reality proved Machu's idea again and again.
The number of people skyrocketed in the summer, not for the first time, nor for the last. This phenomenon is repeated almost every month after the summer surge, and even in the autumn when the temperature continues to drop, the situation does not "improve".
Gradually, Machu's concept changed from "why there is no one" at the beginning to "how can there be people everywhere", and the whole person is full of resentment.
In fact, it was not only Machu who was full of resentment, but almost all of the Atlanta students.
After all, they come here to learn advanced knowledge, not to play a game of "crowding" every day.
The university authorities, apparently aware of the situation, have built several new stone buildings in a very short period of time, relieving the pressure on the population that was almost exploding.
But the pace of construction of the university's stone buildings could not keep up with the increase in students, and when all the "unplanned land" in the university was used, the entire University of Atlanta was already on the verge of being overcrowded.
Just when Machu couldn't help but wonder if he would be squeezed to death the next time he went to the cafeteria to eat, the first branch of the University of Atlanta was established in the new town of Atlanta City without warning.
The subsequent development, in Machu's view, was like a word that "magic biology" students like to show off, and not long after the first branch of the University of Atlanta was established, the second branch of the University of Atlanta, the third branch of the University of Atlanta, and then the fourth branch of the University of Atlanta, and the fifth branch of the University of Atlanta......
By the end of the day, Machu was not sure how many branches the University of Atlanta had established.
Speaking of which, not every area and scale of these branches is as large as the main campus of the University of Atlanta, and some are just two small stone buildings in a relatively large courtyard. These branch schools do not duplicate all the majors of the main school and then re-admit students, but directly separate a certain discipline or several disciplines and separate them independently.
Therefore, each branch has its own exclusive name, such as the first branch of the University of Atlanta, also known as the School of Magic Chemistry of the University of Atlanta, and the second branch of the University of Atlanta, called the School of Magic Physics of the University of Atlanta.
In the midst of such a series of rapid changes that could barely be reacted to, Machu spent his first year at university.
During the year, he heard that a lot of things had happened in the outside world.
For example, someone wanted to destroy the construction of Atlanta City, but was directly released by several wizards in the city, jointly released a spell, rained down a meteorite with flames, and smashed it into ashes.
For example, a group of thieves united and plundered caravans in the territory of Shalin, only to be killed by one of Sharin's black-armored cavalry captains, led by ghostly black-armored cavalry men.
Another example is that I don't know what caused it, one day many residents of Shalin who were loyal to the Kingdom of Sika rebelled together, causing a lot of losses. However, with the appearance of the mysterious Lord of Sharin, His Excellency Wizard Jasmine, within a few days, the riot disappeared.
For example, due to an unknown conflict, the lords of several territories near Sarin suddenly led soldiers and wizards together to approach Sarin. In the end, General Sauron, the god of the Reef Fortress, was alarmed and rushed to the scene with his guards to try to prevent the worst from happening.
And how did this matter be solved?
I heard that it was the extremely powerful Richard Wizard of the true lord of Sharin, who barely showed up, and it was rare for him to show up.
This Richard wizard did not do anything too special after he appeared. Just go to the border, hold a ball of energy, and a few lords, and talk a few words. In the middle of the conversation, the energy ball expanded wildly, and by the end of the conversation, it was comparable to a small mountain. Several lords took a look, took their subordinates, and left decisively. Since then, Shalin has never been harassed or threatened by the lords of the surrounding territories, at least, not on the surface.
These are some of the more legendary things that inevitably distort in the process of transmission, because Machu has not seen them with his own eyes and does not feel completely true.
In addition to these, there are other things that are clearer, but they are more real and down-to-earth.
For example, I don't know what happened, sarin, which was originally short of food, suddenly increased grain production and plummeted, not only to meet its own consumption needs, but also to sell a large amount of sarin in exchange for the rest of the resources. As a result, the price of bread in Atlanta City has dropped by 30% in just a few days, and meat and fish have also dropped a lot.
In contrast, some strange creations, because of the influx of foreign merchants, were constantly inflated in the Atlanta market. The price of a fireball that lights up at any time has tripled, the price of a magic box that can produce music when it is wound has tripled, and the price of a chronograph pocket watch that can be pronounced at a set time has directly increased fivefold, and it is often priceless.
Only Lady Gianna on Seventh Street, the price is as good as ever, and Tong Su is not deceived. With just one silver coin, you can have a hearty dinner with each other, and you can also have some health exercises after the meal, and Machu doesn't know why he knows about this.
But in any case, this year, just like that, passed in a hurry.
