Chapter 202: Enrollment

The Drama Research Club of the Arcane Academy is quite lively today.

On weekdays, only occasionally students from outside the research club come to have a look, but today there is an endless stream of people who come, and the many auditoriums that were originally designed purely for the sake of grandeur finally have half of the seats, and the audience in the seats is not as absent-minded and listless as usual, or flirting in twos and threes, purely looking for a place to chat casually. Most of the students sitting here this time were in high spirits, and there was excitement in the whispers of each other, obviously looking forward to the upcoming drama.

"There are a lot of people here, and they're all here for you, Miss Ulysses. ”

The girl by the window retracted her gaze and turned her head to Zhang Jinli excitedly. This is a girl who is full of youthful breath from top to bottom, like a clever deer running in the spring breeze, showing her vitality all the time, at this moment her face is still slightly baby fat flushed with excitement, and every note in her voice is dancing fast and pleasant: "It's the first time I've performed in front of so many people, this is my long-standing dream...... And to be able to perform with you, Miss Ulysses, whoa, whoa... It's something you've never dreamed of. ”

"Then you have to pay attention to memorizing the script, and don't forget the words later. Zhang Jinli smiled and raised the script in his hand. For such a lively girl, it's hard for anyone not to like it. Even though her name is Sofia Felton, the great-granddaughter of Duke Felton of the head of the Fernández family.

"Of course I won't forget it! I've been sleeping with the script almost all the time I've been holding on to the script for the past two days! Your brother Little West's lines are really amazing, and they really have the style of the great poet West! I can completely recite them to you now! The time with you is like a mountain spring flowing slowly in the forest, reflecting the sunlight reflected in the branches and leaves, carrying the vitality and vitality of the earth, shining, mellow, and beautiful......

Seeing this girl reciting there with affection, Zhang Yan smiled silently. This is a girl who is as simple as a carefully cared for in a crystal cover, without any scheming at all, and only a big family like the Fernandez family can have such descendants, since he was a child, he never had to worry about anything, it should be because he is particularly favored, and even the daily intrigue and intrigue within the big family seem to have never been in contact with each other. Growing up like this in a place like an aristocratic family hides filth and dirt is a real luxury.

In this way, the children do not have to worry about anything else, and because they are not infected with any vices because of strict care, they naturally put all their energy and hobbies on the so-called art. This little girl can be said to be a die-hard follower and admirer of Ulysses, in fact, Zhang Jinli has seen her several times at the party with those admirers after the performance, but she is not very memorable among the large group of boys and girls.

However, this Miss Sophia Felton loved and admired her to the core, and according to her, every voice and smile of Miss Ulysses, every gesture and gesture had been seared into her mind, and she could appear in front of her at any time and anywhere as if she were seeing a real person, so she could recognize Zhang Yili in disguise at a glance.

was found out of her true identity, Zhang Yili was still slightly flustered at first, but after finding that these were just some young people who simply admired her, she calmed down, and smiled that she was following several chiefs of the envoys to go shopping, accompany her younger brother who was about to study in the academy to familiarize herself with the environment, and ask everyone to help keep it secret. After causing a small sensation among those students, she also managed to get out in time, but what she didn't expect was that after returning to the envoy group, Mr. Zhang, who heard about it, asked her to take this opportunity to go to the academy to gradually improve the image of the Shenzhou ethnic group in the eyes of the European people.

For her arrival, the students of these drama clubs were of course ecstatic. Those who have the interest and energy to participate in activities such as opera and poetry are not the practical successors cultivated by the family, these simple students ignore the conflicts between the Fernandez family and this singer, and can get close to the mysterious Miss Ulysses, and can perform with her, which is simply a dream thing, especially this Sophia · Miss Felton tearfully apologized for the faux pas of the Fernandez family, and said that it must have been the private behavior of some mediocre old man in the family, such as the Duke of Linshan, and that when she returned to the Crimson Basin, she must beg her great-grandfather to get rid of these bad people.

Zhang Jinli just laughed at this kind of child's words, although she didn't know what was going on behind the turmoil, but she also understood that it was definitely not a favored good girl who could participate in it.

There was a commotion outside, and a group of young men and women rushed in noisily, these were the students of the Drama Club and the Poetry Research Club, and the people who were surrounded by it were Zeng Wenyuan and the senior named Howard.

Zeng Wenyuan had also taken off his disguise at this moment and returned to the appearance of a weak Shenzhou teenager. Regarding his coming to the Arcane Academy to study, Feng Yinqiu also mentioned it to the chairman before, although the Arcane Academy has not yet been able to enter the study after the war, but there was a precedent in the Imperial Era, and with the approval of the chairman, this matter will naturally go all the way, and the academy does not have a strict time limit for admission, after the Zhang family has paid enough expensive tuition, Zeng Wenyuan is now a full-fledged student of the Arcane Academy.

"Sophia, Miss Ulysses, the show is about to begin, but I have some comments on the script......" Howard waved the script in his hand, a little spirited.

"Senior Howard, you are from the Poetry Research Society, why did you interfere with the script of our drama club?" "And you know that the show is about to start, what's the use of talking about it now?"

"Eh... Little West: He has already joined our Poetry Research Society, and our Poetry Research Society and the Drama Society are technically one, so as the vice president of the Research Society, of course I can come and give my opinion. Howard coughed. "This is the first play that Miss Ulysses has performed at the Academy, and I attach great importance to it, so I took the script back and watched it in detail, and it was not until ten minutes ago that I found something that could be improved, so I hurried here.......

“... But sir, we don't seem to have seen you look at those scripts until you received an arcane letter before you hurried over......." someone in the crowd behind said weakly.

"Shut up, stupid. It was a personal letter that a friend of mine had lent me, and it was a reminder that I was going to correct some of the problems in the script!" Howard turned back in exasperation and scolded the man who was talking nonsense, then turned around and opened the script in his hand. "First of all, I want to admit that the script of Little West's is indeed very good, it is worthy of studying with the great poet Mr. West for a period of time, the wording is beautiful and the sentences are exquisite, and there are almost some shadows of Mr. West, but after all, there is still some distance from the real great poet and opera, such as this sentence 'Your light and shadow, your light and shadow, flow in my ......heart'"

Zeng Wenyuan listened with a smile on his face. If he wants to study in the Arcane Academy, he naturally can't use disguise anymore, but after revealing his identity as a Divine Race, he has not been rejected and discriminated against, at least not by the students of these Poetry Research Society and Drama Society, which is undoubtedly his identity as the 'younger brother of Miss Ulysses' has played a huge role. His previous move to reprimand Ahrens in the theater of Fernandez's house also spread among these students, but there were several students of the drama club there that day, and a few students who had been obsessed with Ulysses had known him for a long time, so it was not so difficult to accept, and there was even a lot of novelty.

As for Zeng Wenyuan himself, now it seems that he has completely lost the almost crazy excitement of that day, he always has a faint smile on his face, and occasionally exchanges a few words with the classmates next to him, it can be seen that he has quickly accepted his identity as an arcane student, and even enjoys it very much. The name he now uses is still 'West', but he says that he only studied with the real great poet West for a period of time, and gave it with the consent of the great poet, so these classmates call him Little West.

"....... so I think that if the above sentence 'the travel place of all things, the passerby of time' is changed here, the sense of rhythm between the lines and the overall sense of rhythm are better. In addition, at the end of the male protagonist's confession of his thoughts for the heroine alone, add a sentence of 'This is the case tonight, this is the case at night' to conclude, which can completely re-enact the whole atmosphere... Again....... And then that one is pushed to a whole new level. Ahem, little West, do you think so?"

"Hmm... That's true. Zeng Wenyuan looked at the script, pondered for a moment, raised a pair of thin eyebrows, and nodded. "I didn't expect Senior Howard to have such a high attainment in poetry and literature, and he deserves to be the vice president. ”

"Is this really what you came up with?" said Sophia looked at Howard with some suspicion.

"Of course, am I, the vice president of the Poetry and Literature Research Society, be the vice president of the Poetry and Literature Research Society for nothing?"

"It seems to have a good taste...... Sophia looked at the revised script again, and handed it to Zhang Jinli. "Miss Ulysses, will you see what to do?"

"Okay. Zhang Yili nodded and didn't say much, but the students who followed immediately had a small commotion, and the vice president Howard couldn't help but show pride.

Zhang Yili looked at these young men and women with a smile. In fact, the age of her and the children of these families is not much different, but the growth environment and experience are worlds apart. The maturity of a person is actually not much related to how many books he has read, and the boundaries of the instrument may be born different, but they all have to be tempered by wind and rain and beaten hard to gradually take shape, so these peers in front of her are just a group of children who have not experienced the world in her eyes, naïve and cute. And her posture is only more elegant and attractive in the eyes of those children of the same age.

However, his eyes fell on Zeng Wenyuan in the crowd, and Zhang Yili couldn't help but sink his heart slightly.

"Xiaowen, what's wrong with you? Did you find something in that academy, why do you suddenly want to study there?"

A few days ago, just after returning from the academy, Zeng Wenyuan couldn't wait to express to Zhang Zhijin that he was very willing to go to the Arcane Academy to study, and Zhang Laozhang was also extremely enthusiastic about this matter, and immediately ordered someone to do it.

However, this attitude made Zhang Yili very confused, obviously Zeng Wenyuan was extremely resistant not long ago, and wanted to take her to secretly run to Inclave or something, and after going to the academy for a while, her attitude took a big turn, and she immediately grabbed him after she came down and wanted to ask him clearly.

"Yes, Sister Ori, didn't you notice? The drama club in that academy is actually an unfinished Millie Temple. Zeng Wenyuan's face was excited. Even though he had already come out of the academy, his face was abnormally flushed when he said it.

"Ahh Yes. Zhang Yili nodded suddenly. They did see the emblem of Millie, the god of opera and art, in front of the drama club, and Zeng Wenyuan also argued with the student named Howard. "But what's the point? You don't always want to ........"

"Yes. With us here, as long as we're there, it'll soon be a real Millie Temple. The Arcane Academy has the background and financial resources to maintain a large venue like this, and there are no mercenary family forces behind it, all they lack is top-notch artists to act as priests, but this is not a problem for either of us. Zeng Wenyuan clapped his hands and made a snapping sound, and his palms were red, but he didn't realize it. "I was thinking about going to Inclave because I had heard that the environment was very relaxed, and they had plans to nurture a new god or two. But as you said, Sister Yili, it's really not easy for us to go over, and I'm not completely sure what is going on over there, and now that we have such a great opportunity, why should we go to the near and far?"

Zeng Wenyuan's words revealed a lot of information, which made it difficult for Zhang Yili to react for a while. She was stunned for a while before she was stunned and asked, "So ...... It turns out that Xiaowen, you actually have plans to build a temple of Millie, when did you have a relationship with the people of Inclave?"

"Didn't a few of the mages of Inclave seek the contact information of the great poet West, and on a whim, I wondered what these Highland barbarians could think of my poems, so I wrote a letter to them. Even I was amused and bored after this happened, so I didn't tell you, but I didn't know that two months ago they actually wrote back to me, inviting me to Inclave, saying that they had plans to support Millie's faith and needed a great artist like me......"

"So you're thinking about going to Inclave, just because of this uncharted news?" Zhang Yili glared at Zeng Wenyuan.

“... It's a hundred times better than staying here and being dictated by your grandfather and the gang of corrupt bureaucrats. Zeng Wenyuan spread his hands. And the people of Increy are so detailed in their letters that they don't seem to be making things up. ”

Zhang Jinli couldn't help but pat his forehead. This cousin has been smart and sensitive since he was a child, but the environment in which he grew up was not very good, and the poetry and arcane things he was interested in and extremely gifted were inexplicable in the eyes of the people around him, and he could only hold everything in his heart, so he seemed to be quiet in the eyes of many people, but in fact, his inner personality was extremely intense, and he was quite desperate to do things. Fortunately, now there is finally a choice that everyone is satisfied with for the time being.

"But Millie's temple isn't so easy to build......" Zhang Jinli was still a little unimpressed. Belief in Millie, the goddess of opera and the arts, is not uncommon, with many playwrights, singers, tavern bards, and even some avid theater fans claiming to be Milli's devotees, but there is not a single official shrine to Millie in almost anywhere. The first sub-god to be catalyzed by arcane art was extremely difficult to sense, and had tried countless attempts to formulate various rituals and rituals as early as the Imperial Age, but all of them failed.

But this deity is indeed real, and occasionally there are people who can feel her, and get great inspiration to create masterpieces, and there are a few that can perform some magic that does not work from time to time. Some people attribute this to the uncertainty of artistic creation itself, but those works created after perceiving Millie are not all popular, and some are obscure and even inexplicable and quickly forgotten. In short, compared to other sub-gods who radiated and had undoubted power in their respective fields, such a sense of existence really could not unite enough devout followers to form a large-scale church.

"It's okay, I'm confident!" Zeng Wenyuan's face did not show the slightest worry, but was full of energy. "Didn't I tell you, I've felt Millie's presence several times. There is a god emblem and a hall that is recognized by everyone, and if I give full play to my talents and be recognized by everyone, then when I feel Millie again, I can find a way to completely stabilize that feeling, and I will become a ....... at all."

"Stabilize it, how to stabilize it?" Zhang Jinli asked in amazement. As one of the best singers recognized by Auroyosta, she herself has vaguely felt the existence of the god of art several times, and the huge but vivid vitality seems to be like a living sea of life tumbling and jumping in her mind, allowing passion and inspiration to surge out of the deepest consciousness. But it's all fleeting, completely elusive experiences, and it's hard to imagine how it can be steady.

"Eh... This one... Anyway, I will definitely have a way when the time comes, Sister Yuli, you can rest assured. After hesitating for a moment, Zeng Wenyuan still looked quite confident.

"Xiaowen, what are you hiding from me?" As a cousin and closest partner, Zhang Jinli can certainly capture the strangeness of this cousin.

"It's important, but I can't say it. It's not that I don't trust you, it's because this matter may be controlled by some archmage using the arcane art of cause and effect, and I will only cause you trouble if I say it. Zeng Wenyuan didn't deny it, just shook his head, and the light in his eyes did not weaken by half a point. "Sister Yuri, just wait, sooner or later, we can all really control our own destiny, and we don't have to bow to anyone again. ”
