Chapter 9: Telling the Truth
After waiting for a long time, it was finally Zilong's turn for the three of them. The person in charge of registration briefly asked for the name and the form of the animal, and then let them enter the academy area. Of course, when Zilong said his name, it still caused a small misunderstanding. However, after Karachith, as a top mercenary, came forward to explain that this 'son' was not the other 'purple', he passed smoothly.
This also made Zilong see that Karachith was not notorious everywhere. At least, it's still very prestigious in this city. After all, the top-level mercenary is the best proof of strength, and the strong are respected, no matter where they go, it is an unwritten rule, even on this Lixi Continent.
After entering the college area, several people followed the direction of the road signs and followed the crowded flow of people to the square where they chose their department. Seeing the crowd gathered in the square, Zilong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It wasn't until today that he understood what it meant to be crowded with people and what it meant to be full of voices. Tens of thousands of people are waiting here to divide the lineage, and various animals of different colors of hair and coat colors make the whole square look colorful and extraordinarily gorgeous.
A moment later, as some of the guards walked by with signs held aloft, it was known that the first wave of divisions had finally begun. The process of choosing a department is very simple, these dozens of guards are holding signs representing a department in their hands, and if you want to choose a student of a certain department, you just need to follow the guards holding the signs.
The subjects are divided into detailed disciplines, and each student is free to participate in the subjects according to their preferences and strengths. Moreover, the tuition fee is comprehensive, and you only need to bring enough money for accommodation and meals, and you can study here for a lifetime. In order to attract students to some unpopular subjects, the college even does not hesitate to provide free room and board.
After careful consideration, Zilong decided to choose the discipline of paleohistory. This makes it easier to get to the library and has good reasons to look for materials. Kasochika liked it more, so she didn't hesitate to follow the guards holding the sign of the ancient science department. As for Karachith's request to follow, Zilong did not agree, because there was nothing to do to need his help at the moment, and considering that with a top-level servant by his side, it was easy to attract attention.
After the selection, everyone walked towards the areas of each department under the leadership of the guards. There are dozens of departments in the college, each of which occupies a separate area. The area of the area is delineated according to the popularity of the subject and the number of personnel, so the size is different. For example, the paleohistory department chosen by Zilong only has a five-story stone building.
Because the history department is relatively unpopular, no one has been interested in it for a long time, and no one has visited this place this year, except for Zilong, no one has come to sign up. When Zilong left with the guards alone, many people around him cast strange glances. However, when he had settled everything and wandered around the 'big' building of ancient history, it became clear what was in his gaze.
The entire history department's teaching building was as quiet as a grave, and there was no one else but Zilong. Even the teachers did not wait for the arrival of the students here, and it seems that even the academy is not optimistic about this subject, and I really don't know why the academy set up this subject in the first place.
The academy did not arrange any activities today, and students who signed up can visit freely. However, as long as you enter the college, you must abide by the rules, except for two days of rest every seven days, you can go to the business area, and you are not allowed to leave the teaching area without permission at any other time.
Out of the building of the Department of Ancient History, Zilong strolled through the campus paths alone, browsing the surrounding scenery. The most unique thing about the college is that each subject area has iconic buildings. For example, martial arts, the most popular discipline, the landmark building is a large square, that is, the square where the department is located, where there are all kinds of training props for students to use, and the area of this discipline is also the largest in the entire academy, occupying almost one-fifth of the entire city of Flade, the same area as the commercial area.
Every year, the students who join the martial arts discipline account for 70% of the total number of students, and most of them come here almost to improve their strength. The Academy follows the characteristics of different physiques and shadow forms to formulate the direction of each individual's development so that they can reach their full potential.
After learning about this situation before the division, Zilong suggested that Karachith choose this discipline. Although Karaszi's strength is already very strong, it is limited to poisoning, which is very limited to his future strength growth, and learning something in the martial arts discipline will be very useful to him.
Zilong distinguishes the various buildings of the Fetta Academy and looks for his own target, the library. However, the academy covers a vast area, and walking at the speed of a walk like his may not be able to complete it in three days. It is for this reason that motor vehicles are allowed to travel inside the academy in normal times.
At this moment, Zilong misses Karachisi by his side, so he doesn't have to say anything himself, he will do everything well. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he turned his head to look at the shadow mouse, and said softly, "Quickly search the academy and find the location of the library." ”
The Shadow Rat raised his head to meet his gaze, snorted coldly, and disappeared from sight in a flash. Zilong couldn't help but feel funny, if others saw his 'shadow' and could immediately walk around, I don't know what he would think? At this time, he is no longer the same as when he first arrived in this world, because he does not understand the situation, for fear that others will find out about his abnormal state and cause some trouble, now he clearly knows that even if others do not see his shadow, as long as he is careful in his words, he can deal with the past.
Grass is the most common plant on the Lixi Continent, and it is not lacking even in the Flade Academy. The breeze blows, and the grass undulates and sways, like a calm lake being struck up by layers of ripples, wave after wave of the wind. On the path, Zilong paced in all directions, slowly wandering around the academy, enjoying a touch of comfort brought by nature.
Gradually, there were more people on the road. After everyone arranged their own affairs, they visited the only academy on the continent in twos and threes, which were also mixed with old students wearing blue school uniforms with student nameplates pinned to their chests, and everyone talked and laughed about the interesting things in the academy, and for a while, the academy that was still a little quiet just now became noisy.
At this moment, a moving car that had just passed by Zilong stopped with a creak. As the car door opened, Zi Lingfeng's handsome face appeared in front of Zilong. "Brother Zilong. It's so leisurely to be alone, that clever little sister has left you? It just so happens that I'm fine, why don't we go and have a drink or two together. ”
"She's gone to the department. Since it is your invitation, it is better to be respectful than to obey it. Zilong boarded the energy train without shirking. It just so happened that he was looking for someone to ask about the location of the library, and the blue school uniform that Zi Lingfeng was wearing knew at a glance that he was an old student of the Flade Academy, and he must have a good understanding of all aspects of the academy, not to mention that he also had a good impression of this Zi nobleman.
Under Zi Lingfeng's command, the waiter drove the car towards the business district, although the academy forbade students to go out at this time, but for the young master of the city lord of the city, this ban was useless. The motor car sped all the way, and soon crossed the boundary between the college district and the business district, and stopped at the hotel where Zilong used to stay.
Since today is the last day of registration, the hotel is empty at the moment, only a few bored maids sit at the window table drinking spirits, talking about their wonderful stories, and constantly coming from hearty laughter. Zilong and Zi Lingfeng found a box on the second floor of the hotel with a good environment and a view of the street, and asked for some delicious side dishes, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Brother Zilong, I heard that you chose the most unpopular ancient history in the academy. There is personality, but if it weren't for your choice, the subject might have been cancelled this year. Zi Lingfeng smiled, and his words were filled with curiosity about Zilong's choice to study history.
"Oh, just a hobby. I know very little about the history of the Lixi Continent. That's why I thought of applying for this discipline. Zilong smiled faintly, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the blue sky in the distance. In fact, this question is really difficult to explain, and every statement will produce doubts, and you can only use the reason that 'hobby' is not a reason, but it cannot be questioned.
In Zi Lingfeng's eyes, Zilong is a person with a story, and even the back of standing in front of the window is a little lonely, "Although I don't know what happened to Brother Zilong, I can see that there is a longing in your heart." But I see that in the days to come, you will have to let go of these things and concentrate on my sister. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zilong turned his head suspiciously, stared at the other party's pure blue eyes, and asked puzzled.
"After Ling Xin knew that you had applied for the ancient history subject, he said that he wanted to spy on you, a big liar who abducted young girls. So, she became the second student in the paleohistory discipline. Zi Lingfeng had been paying attention to Zilong's reaction, wanting to see his surprised or worried expression. But to his disappointment, Zilong just smiled indifferently, turned his head as if nothing happened, and continued to look up at the sky, as if he could see something he wanted there.
"Sister Ling is really chivalrous, but I may be about to disappoint her. As soon as Zilong finished his disapproving words, there was a knock on the door of 'Dong Dong Dong', and after receiving permission, a waiter walked in with fragrant food and a pot of fine wine, neatly placed on the table, and then withdrew.
The appearance of the waiter interrupted the conversation between the two, and Zi Lingfeng saw that the reminder he had just given was in vain, so he changed the topic. He didn't change his smile, picked up the cup and poured the wine, and said to Zilong by the window, "Let's talk while drinking." ”
Retracting his gaze, Zilong let out a long breath of turbidity, turned around and sat down at the table, facing Zi Lingfeng, who looked calm, and raised the wine glass in front of him. "You remind me of a person whose personalities are similar and whose backgrounds are almost identical. He was a very good friend of mine and helped me in my most difficult times. We have shared weal and sorrow with me, and even experienced the trials of life and death together. ”
"Oh, Brother Zilong said so, and he took me as a friend. I feel very honored, the first time I met you, I thought you were not simple, and you were the first person who could make me feel unpredictable, maybe because of your sunglasses. Zi Lingfeng said to Zilong with his heart, and the meaning of his last sentence was also obvious.
"Do you want to see me take off my sunglasses?" Zilong suddenly chuckled, took a sip of the wine in the glass and said to Zi Lingfeng.
"Of course, if you don't mind, I have this curiosity. Zi Lingfeng held the white ceramic wine glass, shaking it gently, the colorless transparent wine swayed with his shaking, without the slightest feeling of touching the glass, and bursts of wine aroma continued to waft out of it.
If this request was made when Zi Lingfeng met him for the first time, Zilong would inevitably refuse it sternly, and he would be very wary of Zi Lingfeng. And last night, he filtered everything that happened in this world, and found that it was not easy for him to hide himself in the crowd at this time, and his temperament alone was not something that could be changed in a short time, and he was wearing sunglasses to cover up.
Therefore, now that I heard Zi Lingfeng make this request, I didn't have the idea of hiding it anymore. What's more, Zi Lingfeng and Warnard feel very similar, they are friends worth making, and Zilong believes in his vision and intuition. Moreover, it would not be a good thing if he could get Zi Lingfeng's help because of the special color of his eyes.
Zi Lingfeng, who was anxiously waiting, watched Zilong take a deep breath, put the wine glass in his hand on the wooden table in front of him, slowly raised his right hand, and slowly touched the metal frame of the glasses. This series of slow motion, almost torturous, the eyes staring at Zilong's face revealed extreme enthusiasm, if Zilong disagreed at this time, Zi Lingfeng did not doubt that he would have the idea of eating people.
In the end, the sunglasses took off the bridge of Na Ying's nose, and suddenly, the eyes as bright as stars were exposed to the other party's sight.
"Bang..."Zi Ling stood up sharply, and the wooden chair toppled to the floor with a loud noise. However, at this moment, such a sound was no longer enough to summon back the shocked Zi Lingfeng, his dull gaze looked at the eyes that were blooming with a dark blue ghostly light, and even the shadow falcon on his shoulder looked a little wooden.
The dark blue, which turned out to be the purest dark blue in the legend, now appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't believe it. A piece of the past can't help but come to mind...
At that time, Zi Lingfeng was only fifteen years old, and he had already enjoyed the glory and status brought by his aristocratic status. What he is most proud of is that he was born with a pair of pure blue eyes without the slightest variegation. It is as pure as a sky without a single cloud. He once asked his father why we had such eyes.
His father looked at him deeply, smiled kindly and lovingly, stroked his purple hair with his generous and powerful hands, and said proudly: "Because our ancestors had pure blue eyes, and it is because of them that we have the status we have today, and we are loved." Although more and more of our people are marrying ordinary people, and there are offspring with impure blood, and thus more and more nobles with blue eyes. However, your bloodline is the purest, and you should be proud of it, you are the nobleman of the nobles. ”
Although Zi Lingfeng was only fifteen years old at the time, he could hear his father's words in order to make him remember his identity. I hope that his descendants will have the same supreme position as him. At that time, Zi Lingfeng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that he had grown up, patted his chest, which was not quite broad, and said: "Father, I will let our pure blood continue unified, and I will also warn my descendants that if you marry a wife, you must marry a nobleman with pure blue eyes, and there will never be anyone darker than our eyes." ”
"No, child, though our blood is the purest, we can never reach the deep blue. Only the legendary man has dark blue eyes, and he is the supreme and invincible leader, even our ancestors can only submit to his command..."
"Who is that man? Who is he? Where is he now?"
"I don't know, and no one knows, he hasn't been there for six thousand years. However, since our ancestors are still alive, that person must also exist in some corner of a certain space..."
Seeing Zi Lingfeng standing there with a blank expression, Zilong hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, he had already expected Zi Lingfeng to have such a reaction, as a nobleman, seeing a person whose eyes were darker than his own color, of course he would not be able to accept it so quickly.
"Actually, I came to the Lixi Continent by accident from another dimension. Zilong said frankly.
These words made Zi Lingfeng's whole body suddenly shake, and his thoughts immediately recovered from the drift. But he didn't hear what Zilong said, and pointed at Zilong and said, "You, your eyes, how could they..."
"It's just because of some accidents when I was cultivating that my eyes turned this color, and they are not what you imagined. Zilong played with the wine glass on the table, looked at Zi Lingfeng with a calm expression and said.
"No, eye color is innate, and it can't be changed under any circumstances, and we've proven this in a lot of experiments. Do you know who your ancestors were?" Zi Lingfeng was a nobleman in a high position after all, and he had calmed down a lot when he spoke again, and perhaps, it was Zilong's calm and calm temperament that allowed him to calm down so quickly.
Zilong said truthfully: "I am just an orphan, and I have not seen any of my ancestors at all. Even, I don't even know my surname, the name Zilong was also taken by the master. And the color of the eyes is exactly what I just said. ”
The color of the eyes can be changed, that's not possible. Zi Lingfeng firmly believed that Zilong didn't tell the truth for another reason. At the same time, his father would have been glad to know that the descendants of the legendary man had appeared, and might be able to find the man according to this clue. Thinking about it like this, Zi Lingfeng's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
"I'm telling you this because I think we can be friends. Zilong didn't notice Zi Lingfeng's expression at the moment, he was thinking about the impact that would have in the future because of today's events and how he would make a choice then. There is no airtight wall in the world, whether Zi Lingfeng is well-intentioned or unintentional, this matter will be known by others sooner or later, and what he has to do is to prevent it as soon as possible.
"Of course, I've long considered you a friend. In any case, the people with blue eyes on the Lixi Continent are all nobles, probably the most noble nobles. Zi Lingfeng filled the cups of the two of them with wine, and took his own cup to toast Zilong.
"Then don't make fun of my eyes. Zilong smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand. After finishing speaking, he took a sip, and the sweet wine suddenly felt warm in his stomach.
Zi Lingfeng leaned forward and said, "Brother Zilong, I'm not joking. Since we are friends, then I have an obligation to help friends. You also want to find your relatives, let's go to my father now and ask him to announce this matter to the entire Lixi Continent. As he spoke, he stood up eagerly and was about to take Zilong away.
"I don't think so. It's not too early, and we should be back at the academy. Zilong smiled and stopped Zi Lingfeng's movements, although he could see that Zi Lingfeng was indeed serious when he wanted to help him, but it was not now, he was not sure what Zi Lingfeng's father would think.
Zi Lingfeng suddenly realized that his behavior was a little reckless, and agreed to Zilong's proposal. At this point, he could no longer sit still, and was anxious to go back and report the day's events to his father.
Out of the restaurant, a light breeze blew in the city of Juanda, which was about to fall into the night, stroking Zilong's red hair, making him feel a little refreshed. The sky through the sunglasses was a little gray, but it was so blue in Zilong's heart.
It was at this moment that a motor vehicle sped past in front of it, heading in the direction of the college district. Zilong didn't care about this, but when he turned his head, he found that Zi Lingfeng had been staring at the moving car, with a hint of excitement on his face, and muttered: "Great, she is finally willing to come..."
