Chapter 3: A Handsome Song?
Kasab Street.
The handover of four countries belongs to a three-way zone, where there are no wars, no domination, only dirty deals and endless trades.
The land was originally small, and it didn't take long for the two to arrive.
Since going out, Lan Che has been drooping his head, recalling the previous scene, his face was full of embarrassment, and the flying duck behind him covered his mouth and "giggled" from time to time.
"Hmph~" Lan Che's white eyes elf, Nunu's mouth, his hands crossed behind his head, and he raised his head depressedly: "Oh, dig a groove!
All kinds of passers-by stopped one after another, casting surprised eyes, Lu Feiya blushed, and hurriedly pulled Lan Che into a lane next to her, and explained helplessly: "Your Highness, there have always been two suns and moons here." β
"What?!" Lan Che exclaimed.
"Yes, because the planet is like a gourd, and we live on a continental star with a smaller colony attached to the end, so this is the case. β
"Colony Star?" Lan Che wondered.
"Well, I don't know the specifics, after all, I've always lived in the Galder continent. β
Lan Che nodded thoughtfully, thinking in his heart, in this way, wouldn't there be forty-eight hours in a day?
It's kind of interesting.
"Let's go, let's go shopping. Lan Che shook his hand, and had just returned to the street before he took two steps when he noticed that the flow of people on the street suddenly became commotion.
Rising like a stage, one person tall, there is a lecture table on the table, a huge curtain hangs behind it, four big characters "Lorna College" are stabbed on the cool blue background, and several firefly-like points of light dance around the subtitles, changing various magical shapes.
"Oh my God! look! Lorna College is here to enroll!" spoke a young man in silver armor, who roared excitedly, his eyes full of eagerness, clenched his fists, and without saying a word, kicked his feet and kicked up dust all the way.
"Yes, it's the Lorna Academy of the Mayan Empire!Come on, young man!" With a strong voice, the blacksmith behind him put down the steel hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, full of anticipation for the young man who was rushing away. He looked at the tide of people, looked down at the pair of rough hands full of cracks, lamented the vicissitudes of life, shook his head unwillingly, picked up the hammer and continued to smash at the blazing red iron, looking up from time to time, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes poured out his childhood dreams.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, good son, you hurry up and try it!" A dog-headed human gadget startled Lan Che, and when he heard it, the little dog's head had a wooden stick pinned to his waist, and he was wagging his tail excitedly.
The folds on the faces of the father and son are like fortune and 40,000 in mahjong.
In an instant, there was a crowd of people!
"What is Lorna Academy?" Lan Che asked curiously, touching his nose.
"Lorna Academy is the first magic school of the Mayan Empire, and many excellent magicians have been revealed in many wars. β
"Oh, so there are other realms besides magic?"
"Of course, for example, the Sartre clan of the Maple Creek Empire, there are many powerful mad thunder messengers, the blood clan of the Twilight Empire, which breeds many vampires, they can slaughter the city in one night, and the wizards of Ziyang Ling, it is rumored that the alchemists there can make your potential reach the peak, by the way, there are also the Skull Empire and the Spirit Crane Immortal Kingdom, these two countries are one demon and one saint, and they have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the academies in the empire are also the best in the continent. β
"The demon also has a class, is there still a royal law?" Lan Che's worldview has collapsed: "Let's go! Flying duck, go and take a look!"
The two of them were ruthlessly squeezed in the flow of people, and all kinds of mixed smells wafted into their nostrils, and Lan Che retched, looking at all kinds of strange things rubbing shoulders.
The dog father turned his head with his son in his arms, looked at Lan Che, and his cloudy snot was like a noodle, and he sucked it when he put it in his mouth.
Lan Che smiled back awkwardly.
"This person is so strange~" The dog son waved a small wooden stick excitedly.
Suddenly, there was a light cough on the stage, and the restless crowd suddenly quieted down, and their hearts were in their throats at the moment, this is the first time since the establishment of the Mayan Empire that the famous Lorna Academy has been recruited here!
What does this mean? In a world torn by war, power, power, dominates!
Finally, in the violent contraction of everyone's pupils, three men and two women slowly walked out of the stage.
They have typical western faces.
Lan Che quickly glanced around, two men and two women stood on either side, wearing blue and pink magic robes, and in the middle stood a man in a black robe.
This should be the head.
Just as he was thinking, one of the big blue robes stepped forward and lifted the jumpy hat.
With yellow-brown pupils and curly hair, he danced passionately: "Ah~!, the respected Mayan Empire, the sacred Lorna Academy, finally descended to the great Gard continent at this moment, we have diligently planted the fire of wisdom and taken away the crystallization of wishes, ah~ We..."
The big black robe in the middle made a "creaking" sound of gritting teeth, and when he raised his hand, he interrupted the passionate performance.
The girl next to her giggled and gracefully lifted her witch hat.
Her curly yellow hair hangs down on her shoulders, her big blue eyes are bent into two fresh citrus petals, and her straight nose stands on her smooth skin.
She took a step forward and said kindly: "Everyone, I am Barbara Jusi, a first-level magician of Lorna Academy, I am very happy to meet you, today the academy will recruit some capable sages, there are two methods, you can touch the magic crystal ball, accept the magic root test, anyone who has magic power, the academy will be admitted, or, you can also challenge any of the five of us, as long as the ability meets the standard, you can be admitted~ Warriors!
She stretched out her arm and rushed forward in a posture, and the melon-eating crowd under the stands was instantly ready to move.
Lan Che didn't smile, he frowned and muttered in his heart, this Kasabu Street is the intersection of the four countries, and the enrollment rules alone are equivalent to five people challenging four countries, is it so?
"What, you want to go?" asked Soul Absolute faintly.
"No! It's just a curiosity, Brother Jue, is this magician very strong?"
"Makeshift son, magicians have ruled the Western world for three centuries and have been indispensable in many battles, and this girl is a first-class magician at a young age, which is remarkable. β
"Level 1?"
"Just like the first certificate of completion you get in school, it can prove your identity, from ancient times to the present, rank has a supreme symbol, the higher you have, the greater the honor and power you have. It seems that the same is true of this world. β
He nodded, according to schooling, the first certificate of completion was in the third year of junior high school, and he also went to school for nine years!
After thinking about it carefully, Lan Che hurriedly turned around: "Flying Duck, what kind of profession is my father, and how many levels is he?"
"Warrior of the second class. The duck winked proudly.
Lan Che didn't have a concept of the division of occupations and ranks, he just felt that the five people on the stage were like visitors from outside the world, teasing this group of clowns who jumped off the beam.
"I'll come first!" There was a sudden excited shout from the crowd, and I saw a young man in silver armor stepping on the ground with one foot, volleying a front flip, and then landing calmly, standing in the middle of the stage, drawing his sword and pointing at the big blue robe: "I want to challenge you!"
"Hissββ!"
As soon as these words came out, the melon-eating crowd invariably took two steps back, gasped, and looked at the impulsive young man in surprise.
"Haha! Welcome to the challenge! Although our Lorna Academy is famous for magic, the Warrior Academy on the side is also very powerful!"
"It will be the pride of my life to be able to enter Lona!"
"Good!" the blue robe also seemed to be infected, and he couldn't wait.
The four people on the stage retreated, leaving an empty space.
The two looked at each other.
The young man's eyes began to sharpen, and he slowly lowered his body, bending his knees, like a beast waiting for an opportunity.
Suddenly, the young man stood up from the ground, a shallow pit was trampled out of the wooden floor, and the cobweb-like cracks were shocking, and he took the sword in both hands in the air, and slashed straight towards the big blue robe.
So quicklyββ Lan Che thought to himself, and quickly shifted his gaze to the big blue robe to see how he would deal with this fierce blow.
However, this goods... Laughing?
Don't look down on people! The steel sword swung and smashed, cutting through the air, mixed with the long-cherished wishes and blood of young people!
I'm going to Lorna College!
I want to be the strongest!
He raised the corners of his mouth in the air, his eyes widened excitedly, but he didn't notice that the blue robe that had not moved half a step from beginning to end, his brown eyes quickly flashed a trace of red light, and the corners of his mouth faintly spit out: "Red Flame Vine!"
The air was hot and dry, like a filament being lit, and the sound of electricity passed through the ears, and in the next second, under the young man's silver armor, a fiery red tentacle appeared out of thin air!
At the moment when the steel sword was about to point his eyebrows, the irascible tentacles shook hard.
"Bang!"
A sudden whip whipped the young man alive to a pillar five meters away, smashing a deep pit!
The young man clutched his chest in pain, and struggled to prop up his body with his sword, wanting to go up again, but found that the armor on his waist had been shattered, and after a while, he shook his head in disappointment: "I lost." β
"Oh my God, he's a fire method!
"yes! Just four words to beat the guards of the Gack Nation!"
"Well, besides, haven't you noticed that the magic wand hidden under the blue robe hasn't been used yet!"
The crowd was full of sighs for a while, and everyone looked at the armored youth with some sympathy.
"Haha~, you don't have to worry, every challenge will come to an end, of course, you can also use a safer way!" Da Lanpao smiled happily.
At this moment, no one laughed along, they had already seen what terrifying strength was hidden under that bright smile.
Lorna College, the conditions for single enrollment are so harsh!
"I'd like to give it a try!" a girl stood up in the dreak.
"Is it a challenge or a test?" the big blue robe was a little surprised.
"Hmm.. Test it out. The girl looked at the tentacles that were still swinging.
"Oh~ I'm sorry. Seeing this, the blue robe hurriedly waved one hand, and the tentacles disappeared, and then took out a crystal ball from his arms and placed it on the podium: "Please!"
The girl nodded, stepped forward and stretched out her slender jade fingers to touch the crystal ball, and after a while, the dim crystal ball had no light.
"I'm so sorry, beautiful lady, you haven't met your requirements!"
The girl nodded sadly, and as soon as she got off the stage, she threw herself into the arms of an old man and began to sob, and the old man sighed in disappointment, shook his head, and left the crowd with the girl.
"I'm going to try it too!"
"Hehe, I'll go too!"
found that this was relatively safe and easy, and the people who ate melons exploded again in an instant.
"Okay, don't worry, everyone's got a chance!" the blue-robed glanced behind him, and the magicians walked out again, each pulling out a crystal ball.
"Everyone lined up and each of us was happy to test it out for you. Juss said politely.
"Wow! that's great!"
The crowd writhed like kelp, and after a while, everyone stood in five columns, and Lan Che was inexplicably sandwiched in the middle.
Dum, dull, still dim.
"Hey!"
There was an endless stream of sighs on the stage, and they drooped their heads, as if their lives had been stamped with the stamp of "losers", and they walked off the stage one by one.
Frustration, unwillingness, loss, and negativity fill the entire stage.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, just when everyone was discouraged, the crystal ball in front of the black robe actually glowed with a glimmer of light!
The blue light flickered like a baby's heartbeat, looking so weak, but beautiful.
Everyone shook in place, looking at the crystal ball in unison, like a morning star under the night sky, lighting up the road of dreams in the endless darkness.
"Magic Attribute: Ice, Demon Root: Middle Bottom, congratulations. β
The black robe looked at the little boy lightly, his words undoubtedly injected stimulants to everyone present, but the little boy in front of the crystal ball blinked, and didn't seem to understand what the black robe's words meant.
The middle-aged man behind him slapped the child on the back of the head: "Why are you still stunned! Thank you, teacher!" he was excited.
The little boy's tears of grievance were well-watered.
Zhu Si frowned, hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down, caressing the back of the head that was hurting: "Little guy, you are very powerful! You are an ice mage like your sister, will you be with your sister in the future?"
"Uh-huh!" the little boy smiled happily.
Jusi nodded, got up and took out a card and handed it to the child's father: "This is the enrollment certificate of Lorna Academy, the crystal ball will record the child's magical information, after a month, you only need to send the child to school, the academy will not charge any fees, and there will be a hundred gold coins in compensation every year." β
What!?100 gold coins?!
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man with envy, and the money was enough to buy a plot of land anywhere in the local area to build a mansion, and then go to the market to buy some maids, and live a carefree life in the future.
Oh my God! This is Lorna Academy! This is the Mayan Empire!
Strength is wealth!
Not only that, but from this moment on, his status will also jump, and even he can choose to settle in the mighty Mayan Empire, what a qualitative change! But this is also reality, naked reality!
After the successful restlessness, the eager crowd still failed to change the terrifying failure rate, and the test subjects continued one after another, and continued until noon, but no second person who made the crystal ball glow appeared.
Once again, the atmosphere descended into pessimism.
Lufia gently nudged Lan Che and whispered, "Your Highness, it's your turn!"
"Oh-good!" Lan Che stretched and took his eyes back from the failed dog son, and he staggered over to Jusi, scratching his eyes at the crystal ball.
"Hello, just put your hands on it. Juss reminded with a smile.
"Oh, okay!" Lan Che scratched his head embarrassedly, rubbed his hands, and gently placed them on them.
Bleak..
Lan Che shrugged his shoulders and apologized, and Jusi nodded in understanding.
Suddenly!
The moment he left the crystal ball with both hands, the pitch-black crystal ball began to shake slightly.
Lan Che was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Si, only to find that she was also frowning and looking uneasy.
A few seconds later, Lan Che took a breath and was about to turn around, when the dim crystal ball was like a newborn baby, crying out with a "wow"!?
That's right!
It's crying out!
This voice stunned everyone present!
Lan Che himself was also startled, he looked left and right, and found that everyone was staring at him in surprise, he quickly put his hand back on the crystal ball again.
Damn, don't me! Just thinking about it, the restless crystal ball seemed to be stuffed with a pacifier, and it instantly quieted down obediently.
The faint crystals shone slightly, and the colorful aurora was like a string being stirred between the crosses, and the colorful light streams gently caressed the staves, making a beautiful sound in the center of the stage.
The embrace of red and yellow light reveals the shyness of the piano.
The light kiss of purple and blue light, that is the love of the violin.
Lan Che had studied music and loved music, and he couldn't help but be a little fascinated by such a beautiful fairy sound.
Gently close your eyes, as if you have forgotten the surrounding environment, like a performer.
That year,
He fell in love with a girl.
Because girls,
He learned to play his first song, "A Thousand Years Later."
Slender fingers twitch the crystal ball, and colorful lights cheer on the staff in your mind.
The prelude sounded, as if flowing out of the gurgling water, sounded the sound of the shepherd boy's flute, and the secluded spring flowed out from the mountain stream, converging into a deep pool like jasper, and the pool swayed with layers of fine ripples, sownting a round of golden moon.
Streams of colorful light danced around him like cheerful butterflies, magical tracks crisscrossed in the air, low-hanging willow branches skimmed the stream, and agate-like reindeer leisurely nibbled on the grass on the rocks of the river.
For a while, everyone was fascinated, they had never heard music, and they didn't know what the teenager on the stage was doing, but they just felt that their body and mind were attracted and intoxicated at this moment.
The sound of the piano in the edge, the moon is bright, the climax sounds, and the blue magnetic and gentle voice sings softly with the music:
"For after a thousand years,
The world has long been without me,
I can't hold your hand affectionately,
Kiss you on the forehead,
Don't wait until a thousand years from now,
Everybody has forgotten me,
The desert of the red dusk at that time,
Who can unravel the loneliness that has been entangled for thousands of years. β
The touching throat is accompanied by beautiful music, and everyone feels refreshed, and a breeze rises and falls in their ears, melodious, and the rhyme is resonant, as if heaven and earth have made a harmonious song.
When I opened my eyes, seven butterflies reluctantly flew into the sky from my ears, reached a height, and suddenly exploded!
Like a golden chrysanthemum in full bloom, colorful, hanging in the air, it has been dispersed for a long time.
This is a masterpiece of the heavens, bestowing one of the most mysterious gifts on the continent of Gard.
The black robe was the first to react, and he couldn't help but shudder, he clearly felt the huge energy brought by the explosion, and couldn't help but look at Lan Che suspiciously.
On the other hand, Lan Che looked innocent, saying that this matter had nothing to do with me.
The black robe coughed, stepped forward and stared at Lan Che and asked, "What's your name?"
Before Lan Che could speak, there was a sudden shout from the crowd: "I know him! He is the third prince of the Gudebai Kingdom, His Royal Highness Lan Che!"
The Third Prince?
Zhu Si on the side was even more intoxicated for a long time before coming back to her senses, this was the most beautiful voice she had ever heard, and she couldn't help but blush on her cheeks: "Your Royal Highness, you have passed the test and can join our Lorna Academy, and we are very much looking forward to your arrival." This time, she looked at Lan Che very seriously, but found that Lan Che looked a little handsome, and she couldn't help but blush even more.
"Uhhhh Lan Che frowned: "Wait, let me ask first, what kind of demon root do I have inside?"
"This.." Zhu Si turned her head sideways in embarrassment and looked at the big black robe for help.
The black robe spoke, "We have never encountered this situation in our academy, and this is the first time I have seen you myself, but I believe that the elders of the academy should be able to give an explanation." β
"Oh, that's right. Lan Che smacked his lips and waved his hand: "Then forget it, I won't go." β
The melon-eating crowd all widened their eyes in surprise, as if they had auditory hallucinations, but when they saw Lan Che's indifferent expression, they believed that this was a fact.
What are you doing! Reject Lorna Academy!Even if you are a prince, as long as the Mayan Empire waves its hand, the survival of the kingdom of Goodbay will be overnight.
Lan Che didn't think so, he didn't want to be studied as a new species, and besides, the matter of the soul had not yet been settled, his father was sick and bedridden, and he didn't have time to go to school.
This casual answer surprised Ju Si even more than Fang Cai's song, and Ju Si looked at him with some suspicion: "Prince Lan Che, you mean that you don't want to go...... I think you'd better make up your mind before you make a decision, after all, ......"
"Get out of here!!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp scolding roared out of the crowd.
With the prestige, three men of short stature but exceptionally strong, each riding three wild boars, walked domineeringly on the street.
He was dressed in red muscular porcelain and had a rich and hard beard.
"What was the movement just now!" shouted the bearded man who took the lead clasped between his teeth, and the wild boar under his crotch shook his head unscrupulously.
The people who ate melons instantly gave way to a wide road as if they saw a plague.
"Look, it's the fighting team of the Diru Kingdom!"
"yes! I've heard they've been winning battles lately. β
"That's right, it seems that the fight with Goodbay has only been completed in the past few days, and I heard that Goodbay has never fought!"
"Really!?"
"Don't say it, the prince is on stage, be quiet. β
"Yes, yes, yes. β
The three dwarf men rode all the way to the front of the stage, and when they saw the four big characters on the curtain, a touch of surprise flowed in their eyes, and they were more afraid. Then I saw Lan Che with a blank face.
"Yo, you're not dead?!, do your defeated generals dare to go out shopping?" one of the bearded men shouted at Lan Che.
Defeated?
Lan Che looked at the three dwarves in wonder, and faintly heard the whispers in the crowd, suddenly understood something, and immediately covered his stomach and began to laugh wildly!
"Hahahaha! I'm Cao, hahahaha!"
It is said that happiness is contagious, and if it is true, a few people in the crowd couldn't hold their farts and laughed with Lan Che.
The three dwarves looked at each other, as if they didn't know what was going on, but they always felt that the laughter was full of mockery, and the dwarf man who took the lead gritted his teeth, stretched out his finger and pointed at Lan Che and shouted, "What are you laughing at! Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"
"Haha~!" Lan Che wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Who the fuck should I be?
He looked at his accomplices in confusion, and both of them shook their heads.
Remove what can be understood, and the leader pointed at Lan Che and shouted: "What is it!"
"Poof~"
The beard looked up and saw Lan Che's smile even stronger, feeling greatly humiliated, in his memory, he had never seen Lan Che so arrogant, raised his hand and pointed to the stage: "Lan Che, listen! I will limit you to a month, take your dirty people, leave the Gudebai country, I will occupy the land! Otherwise, Hugh blames me for being polite!"
The black-robed body trembled, and his tone was extremely cold: "The land of projectiles, is so arrogant? I want to see who dares to touch him!"
Could it be that the vast Mayan Empire would also intervene in the struggle between small nations?
Everyone began to speculate, the three bearded men were extremely embarrassed for a while, they were not stupid, they knew the strength of the Mayan Empire, but they were a little puzzling, why did the powerful Mayan Empire support Lan Che?
"No, I don't need to!" Lan Che turned back and smiled at the black robe.
Hissββ!
The melon-eating crowd has a big mouth, and his pupils have shrunk to the size of a pinpoint - he, he actually refused the protection of the Mayan Empire?!
"Prince Lan Che, ...... you" Zhu Si hurriedly stepped forward but was interrupted by Lan Che raising his hand, and he gently patted Zhu Si's shoulder.
The clear eyes were like falling into two shooting stars.
The girl's body trembled slightly.
"Inside, dad pulled pig, first of all, thank you for the invitation, and kindness, but.." Lan Che smiled slightly, seeing the sunshine of the east shining on the faces of the beauties in the west, he immediately turned his head, his eyes became sharp, and he pointed to the three dwarves and said coldly: "Dilu Country, Dwarf Legion, listen, in seven days, Lao Tzu will go to you!"
Seven days?!
Yes, this is not a provocation, the words of the prince are like a war letter!
"Good!"
The bearded man who took the lead looked excited, this fool didn't need the protection of the Mayan Empire, just what I wanted, he couldn't wait to roar: "Okay! In seven days, Suyahe will fight to the death!" After that, he slapped the boar's buttocks, and the three of them walked away.
"It's over, this Gudebai country is killing itself. β
"Yes, there are only 200 people in this small country, and I heard that there are almost 10,000 people in Diru country!"
"yes! Hey!"
Lan Che naturally heard the discussion in the crowd, he turned around and nodded at the magicians, and quickly disappeared into Kasabu Street with Rufia.
"Okay, let's move on. The big blue robe waved his hand, quickly ending this wonderful little episode, he turned his head sideways and looked at Zhu Si infatuatedly, only to find that the girl's eyes were still staring at the direction where Lan Che disappeared.
I couldn't help but look cold.
"Juss, it's time to work!" the other pink-robed mage patted her on the shoulder.
"Oh!" Juss came back to her senses, staring blankly at the dim crystal ball, just a moment ago, its magical light and beautiful melody inadvertently touched the girl's heart.
Especially those lyrics that haunt dreams: Because after a thousand years, the world has long been without me, unable to hold your hand affectionately and kiss your forehead.
Lan Che, who are you......
At the same time, the big black robe turned his head intentionally or unintentionally, gave him a look, and the blue robe nodded knowingly, and disappeared from the stage unconsciously.
