87. I'm coming!
The convoy of the Magic Caravan makes one last trimming and counting the number of people before entering Sloit City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
We stood on a high hill and looked down on the city, a castle with no edge in sight. The grandeur of the whole city makes us feel as small as ants at the feet of a giant elephant. A great river runs from west to east, and this majestic castle is built along its south bank, and the endless mountains are full of golden wheat fields and fruit-bearing golden apple trees, and it is time to harvest the wheat, and the farmers wield their sickles and sweat in the fields. The golden apple trees were full of green fruits.
On the avenue between the fields, countless warrior apprentices and magic apprentices from other cities rode in various strange magic caravans, constantly converging towards Sloit City from a distance. What I found most interesting was the team of chariots drawn by the Gubolai, almost every two-wheeled chariot could only stand five warrior apprentices, and these two-wheeled chariots meandered for kilometers along the road, and the horses trotted briskly and kicked up clouds of dust.
Forty or fifty meters high, the magic caravan crossed a hundred-meter-wide moat, and I could finally understand why Sloit City had always stood at the northernmost point of the Grimm Empire for hundreds of years, holding the first line of defense in the north. Keep those murderous barbarians at bay on the ice tundra.
The architecture of the entire city is very close to the Baroque style, and the magnificent and colorful round arches can be seen everywhere. The intricate reliefs on the façade continue to write the entire history of Sloitt for hundreds of years, and El City is like a humble country village compared to it, not even a block of Sloit.
The white waves rolled on the wide river, some fishing boats only shuttled on the calm river, hundreds of meters long fishing nets were scattered into the river, and the fishermen on the boats shouted trumpets and pushed the winches hard, their faces all showing joyful expressions.
Ying Li was so excited to know that the caravan was going to arrive in Sloit, and she barely slept last night, but now when she entered Sloit, she leaned on my shoulder and slept soundly, her feet resting on Helena's lap and covering a thin blanket.
Last night Ying Li told me that her best friend Alyssa lives in Sloit, and her words reminded me of the bracelet on my wrist, and I looked down at the beautifully made bracelet, and when the caravan drove into the Sloit gate, it suddenly became very bumpy, so that Ying Li, who was sleeping on my shoulder, woke up suddenly.
"Oh, it's already here!Jia, why don't you wake me up. Ying Li grumbled to me, and leaned down beside Becky, peering curiously out of the window.
Darwin has become very familiar with me, he is a very unpleasant person, he has his own optimism and very clear rules of doing things, I think his ideas are not bad, his heart is not bad, at least he treats his cheap sister well.
That's right, Rita is Darwin's cheap sister.
Darwin's mother was the daughter of Mrs. Joyce, Darwin's father was a ranger instructor at Stans College in El City, and his father had met a woman who had moved into the city from the outskirts of El City a few years earlier, and was Rita's mother, who was also carrying a girl with her. It is said that it was this woman's strength and desire for life that moved Darwin's father, and got the consent of Darwin's mother, on the eve of Darwin's father preparing to marry Rita's mother into the door, this woman suddenly became seriously ill and died without saying a word, leaving only the lonely and helpless poor Rita, Rita also has a grandmother in El City who is also living in great distress, after the death of her mother, Rita refused Darwin's father's kind adoption, but has been dependent on her grandmother, an old and a young life is very embarrassing. Darwin often went to help Rita, who was living in poverty.
Rita is a very strong girl, and she is not very willing to accept Darwin's help and various gifts, she prefers to exchange them for equal value.
Along the way, as teammates, we need to understand each other, first of all, we need to know which position each person is good at in battle, and as the captain, I need to carefully understand the real strength of each person. Although there are only seven people in our team, we have a wide range of classes, from the shield warrior (Rita) at the forefront of the team, to the warrior (Becky), the swordsman (Helena), the archer (Lagertis), the ranger (Darwin), the two magic apprentices, one is good at fire magic (Yingli), and the other is good at various auxiliary protection skills and healing (Jiga), so the staffing of such a powerful combat team is at least the top among the new teams in El City.
"Captain......" Rita said to me, clasping her hands into fists and pressing them on her legs, sitting up straight.
"Call me Jia, among these people from El City, there are at least thirty people who can become captains, I don't want to shout captain when I'm outside, at least a dozen people will turn around and agree. At least a little less people with the same name as me. I said with a smile to Rita.
Rita's face turned red, at this time she had calmed down from the shock and excitement, just after hearing that I had mastered the magic skill of 'healing', Rita couldn't control her emotions a little, and now she is much better. She looked at me seriously and asked, "Jia, aren't you a new student of the Demon Court who has just awakened the magic pool for less than a month, how can you use healing techniques?"
I didn't explain too much, I drew a light blue magic array directly in front of her, and after I chanted softly, a rich water element was slowly condensing, but something strange suddenly appeared in the air, and those water elements did not arrange the final pattern of the magic pattern array, okay! I was a little embarrassed, the success rate of my healing technique had been as high as more than 70%, but I didn't expect that I wanted to show off my skills in front of Rita, but I failed to cast a spell, and I slapped my face!
Ying Li and Helena, who were sitting on the side, couldn't help but smile, and I had to perform the 'hydrotherapy technique' again, this time the spell was successful, and a white water elemental qi system fell on Rita's body like a handful of rain and mist, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant 'boom' sound, Rita seemed to be swept away from the exhaustion of her whole body, and looked at me with adoration.
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
Every magician who has been to Sloit City must at least go to the central square of the fifth block to see the statues of the five legendary magician heroes here, and then they can be considered to have truly visited Sloit.
Our magic caravan is also from the nearest city gate to the fifth block into the city, the magic caravan drove directly to the Sloyth Ivory Tower School of Magic, we students who came to El City, temporarily placed in the highest magic school in the north, the most famous Sloit Ivory Tower School of Magic in Sloy City is built in the north of the central square of the fifth block of the city, when we pass through the central square of the fifth block, the wide street is full of onlookers, they are all curiously looking at our group, every window of the magic caravan is crowded with peopleEveryone is curious to look out at the heroes in the famous Central Square of the Fifth Block.
The central square of the fifth block is five times the size of the central square of the city of El City, the whole square is made of terrazzo granite, there are almost no seams between the square rocks, there will be a street lamp every twenty meters away in the square, I have looked carefully, these street lamps are magic street lamps, unlike the street lamps in the city of El City, every time when the sky is just dark, those night watchmen need to carry ladders, fill each street lamp with lamp oil, and light them. The street lamps in this square are so luxurious that they all use moonstones that can be illuminated.
At the northernmost end of the square, there is an ornate marble building. The marble building, thirty meters high, is shaped like a crescent moon on the north side of the town square, and now I can see it as a curved wall, carved with reliefs of various motifs, telling the life of five legendary heroes, whose glory is closely linked to the rise and fall of the city of Sloit.
On the stone steps in front of the marble building stand five statues of Shatun Aly, Cechole, Parubui, Komol and Rongyu. These five are all legendary mages who have made great contributions to the advancement of human magic, and on our first day of school, the magic teacher told us the names of these five legendary mages, so that we should always remember them and be proud of them.
Knowing that the magic caravan had driven into the centuries-old Ivory Tower Magic Academy, I still looked back at the five huge statues behind me......
On the streets of the Fifth Block, filled with crowds of onlookers, I heard people talking about us students from outside:
"It's all young children!" the people on the street began to talk after looking at our young faces.
An insider began: "I heard that the door of time and space in the ivory tower of the Magic Guild has opened, and these foreign children are going to explore the plane. ”
"But they don't seem to be very old, do they know how to take care of themselves?"
The insider continued, "I heard that it is a small plane, and the spatial laws inside are only allowed to enter apprentices below level six. ”
"That's ...... so"
......
What was supposed to be an easy journey became a bit of a tight one after entering Sloit. We couldn't hear the conversation between them, but the magicians of the ivory tower magic guild in Sloit City were always in a hurry, and our team leaders and teachers had much more serious expressions, without the slightest hint of talking and laughing on the journey.
Fat Bobby is one of the most active of these freshmen at the Academy of Magic, and he is always the first to get the latest news:
It is said that the reason is that a very senior space magician in the ivory tower calculated the opening time of the time and space gate wrongly, resulting in the time and space gate in the ivory tower three days earlier than the original time, that is to say, the original plan three days later, the students of each academy began to enter the time and space gate one after another, and there was a temporary change, the time and space gate on the small plane called Xinliu Valley has been built with the time and space gate in the ivory tower has been constructed time and space channel, as the landlord of the Sloyth Junior Magic Academy has made a decision, that is, to prepare to enter the Xinliu Valley in advance, (the residents of Sloit City prefer to call it the Galloping Horse Academy) 。
Since the Galloping Horse Academy was preparing to enter the Xinliu Valley in advance, the other magic academies that arrived in Sloit City also felt that they could not suffer in this matter, after all, they were grabbing resources in that small plane, so they also decided to enter the Xinliu Valley in advance, so the time was very urgent, and we had just arrived in Sloit City, we had to prepare to enter the Xinliu Valley tomorrow, and we didn't have time to do any rest. There are five primary magic academies in the territory of Sloit Province, they are Sloit City Junior Magic Academy (Galloping Horse Academy), El City Junior Magic Academy (War College), Star Sea City Junior Magic Academy (Xinghai Academy), Qingzi Mountain City Junior Magic Academy (Qingzi Academy), and Wuyang City Junior Magic Academy (Wuyang Academy). Among these five magic academies, the most powerful is naturally the Running Horse Academy, Xinghai Academy, Ziqing Academy, and Wuyang Academy are not much different in strength, but they are slightly inferior to the Running Horse Academy, and the last in the ranking is the El City War Academy where I am located.
This is calculated according to the overall strength ranking of the academy, which combines the various competitions held between the magic academies in recent years, the expedition activities, and the number of magicians who have entered the higher magic academy, and the power ranking is fairly fair.
The War College is considered to be the top academy in El City, but it ranks last among many magic colleges, in fact, this situation can be seen to some extent, almost all the warrior apprentices in the other colleges are from this academy, only the War College gathers all the outstanding warrior apprentices from all the colleges in El City to participate in this expedition.
Although there are some suspicions of cheating, but it is really a helpless move, the ranking of the academy is related to the ratio of the various magical resources provided by the magic guild to these magic academies, and the first-ranked Galloping Horse Academy has always enjoyed nearly half more magical resources than the war academy obtains nearly half of the magical resources.
Dean Goldfrie spent a lot of effort in order to keep the War College from the bottom in this expedition. At the same time, the academy spends countless financial resources to support the Yerkis scholars to carry out new research projects, in fact, in order to obtain a magical scientific research result, so as to change the decaying image of the War College in the eyes of outsiders.
Those of us who came to El City entered the dormitory of the Ivory Tower High School of Magic, and were assigned to the townhouse area of the seventh arrondissement, a total of 350 of us students and ten lead teachers were assigned to ten villas, and after the rooms were assigned, it was already dark, and we even ate dinner in the villa, vegetable salad and tomato beef soup with buttery white bread coated with golden apple jam, which tasted good.
After dinner, the team members and I agreed on a time to have breakfast together tomorrow morning, and then returned to their dormitories, the students of the magic academy need a lot of time to meditate every night, and they need a quiet and comfortable space, so I and Ying Li and other twenty-six magic apprentices were arranged in a villa in the far corner, this villa is divided into two floors, the girls live on the second floor, and the boys live on the first floor.
When Ying Li and I returned to the villa, we found that most of the classmates were meditating on the floor of the living room, and we didn't want to behave too differently, so we quietly joined in, I quietly came to the corner of the living room, found a suitable place to sit down, but I didn't expect that the person sitting in front of me was actually the fat Bobby.
Maybe he heard the sound of footsteps, but at the moment he had not yet entered a state of meditation, but he turned his head to look at me, and when he saw me sit down, he squeezed his eyes and pointed to the door, he should have something to say to me, I nodded knowingly, and quietly walked out of the villa with him.
Bobby told me something bad news that Mr. Flender brought back after dinner, which made me a little worried about this expedition to the Willow Valley......
