Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhou Nan
"Haha, I just teased you, how could I really let you climb up. Tao Chengzhi listened to Ximo's words and laughed on the side.
Ignoring Tao Chengzhi's bad taste, he asked directly: "Then how can we go up?" This place doesn't look like there is a car, could it be that Edgeworth flies?"
"You're thinking too much, we can do this kind of thing like Edgeworth's flight, but it's similar to you riding a broomstick, unlike the folk who can carry mountains and seas with a sword. After laughing for a long time, he regained his seriousness, "Although the teachers always ask us to climb the mountain, there is always a way." ”
He took out two yellow talismans and handed one to Seamus, "This is one of the methods we major in, this is the 'Tengyun Talisman' I made myself, it is best to use it to climb the mountain, if you want to experience the flying of the sword, you can also rent or buy a flying sword, but don't get up too much hope, that flying sword can just fly." ”
Now Seamus is like when he first came into contact with magic, he feels very new to everything, and he knows one more type of magic. The magical world in Europe and the United States is in the same vein, and naturally there is a big difference, while Africa and China can be said to be isolated from the world and have developed their own systems.
Due to the lack of materials to make magic wands in Africa, they did not have the habit of using magic wands from the beginning, and gradually developed a system of magic circles.
In the exchange with Tao Chengzhi just now, Xi Mo knew some general information, although the population proportion of the Chinese wizarding world is not large, but thanks to the huge population base, the total number of wizards has reached 200,000.
Because of the vast land and the natural scenery of different places, the main opponents of Chinese wizards are an endless stream of magical beasts, unlike European wizards, whose main opponents are often of the same kind or Muggles.
This also led to the fact that most of the magic in Huaxia was mostly used to deal with magical beasts, and no spells such as the Dementor Mind or the Imperi Curse had evolved.
Seamus asked about the use of the Tengyun Talisman, tore open the yellow talisman, and a green cloud rose from under his feet, and sat cross-legged on the cloud like Tao Chengzhi did. But Seamus couldn't manipulate Qingyun to move, so he could only sit on it blankly and watch Tao Chengzhi fly around beside him.
"Don't worry, I'll take you up this time, you will soon be able to learn the Tengyun Talisman, and you can be like me when the time comes, anyway, I think Qingyun is much more comfortable to sit on than Edgeworth." Seeing Seamus sitting on the clouds, Tao Chengzhi's hands moved, and the ring on his finger emitted a little light, and the green clouds under Seamus's buttocks flew up the mountain with Tao Chengzhi.
Looking at the surrounding Lin Hai, Tao Chengzhi walked side by side with him, always looking for topics, and had the posture of chatting from Tiannan to Haibei. Seamus replied from time to time, mostly acting as a listener, looking at the beautiful scenery around him, and suddenly a question came to mind.
"Brother Tao, what is the name of this mountain?" He has read all kinds of biographies, and if there is a famous sect, the mountain gate will definitely be on an extremely famous mountain, and even the name of the mountain will be used as the name of the sect.
"The name of the mountain?" he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, "This mountain is not a famous mountain, it doesn't matter what the world calls us, but in the academy, it is uniformly called 'I don't know'." ”
"'I don't know'? Why did you choose such a name?" Seamus didn't understand the meaning, so he could only follow the good tradition and ask if he didn't understand.
"Because we have had people here since ancient times, but the words left by our ancestors always emphasized over and over again that we should reduce contact with the world. Although we are of the same origin, it is beneficial for both parties to reduce contact. What Tao Chengzhi said was a little unclear, and he didn't make it clear in the end.
His train jumped very quickly, and he turned his head and asked Seamus again, "How did you pick you out, and how can they determine if you are a priest, that is, a wizard." ”
Tao Chengzhi was able to be sent to pick him up, he was definitely not a random person, he had a good conversation, and even had some chatter, but he knew how to observe words and feelings, his reaction was also very fast, and he had an extremely strong curiosity, which would definitely not make Xi Mo feel embarrassed.
"We'll get our acceptance letter when we're eleven, and that's when we'll be sure, but I don't know how the Ministry of Magic knows that. Letting go of the thoughts in his heart, Seamus shook his head slowly and answered his question.
After listening to Simo's answer, he nodded to indicate that he knew, and then talked about Huaxia's side, "In this way, our side is completely different." When you were born, someone would come to your house and ask your parents if your child was gifted and would like to be taught by me or something, and if they agreed, we would be taken up to the mountain and start learning at the age of six. ”
"Six-year-old, when you'll be able to learn magic?" was a shocking age for Seamus, because as far as he knew, most people's magic awakenings were after the age of six, and there were even those who only awakened a few days before receiving the notice.
"Of course not, you can't start learning spells until after Qiling, and Qiling is learning basic things before, such as literacy and sentence breaking, the specific meaning of ancient texts or something. Tao Chengzhi shook his head and said, recalling the situation when he first went up the mountain, "At that time, we had to memorize a lot of ancient books, and we had to be beaten in the palm of our hands if we didn't make it, and it still hurts a little when I think about it now." ”
After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and grinned at Seamus, "But you don't have to worry, you'll be able to understand it soon, and I'll see you then." ”
While they were talking and laughing, Qingyun had already led them to the top of the mountain, and there was a clearing in front of them where there was nothing.
"Come down, we're here. Tao Chengzhi pointed to the open space in front of him, as if there was an academy in his mouth.
"Where's the academy, why haven't I seen anything?"
"Of course it can't be revealed, otherwise it wouldn't have been trampled to the ground. Approaching the academy, he seemed more and more happy, and hurriedly walked forward with Seamus, "This place is covered by the formation, and anyone can only see a clearing, but as long as you take two more steps, you can see the academy, of course, the world can't." ”
They walked to the center of the clearing, and then took two more steps, really only two steps, and a lonely gate appeared in front of them, with a plaque on it, which said that I don't know the academy.
Tao Chengzhi pushed open the gate, and a wide road paved with long granite paved surfaces appeared on both sides, with verdant bamboo forests on both sides, and at the end of the road, a large number of buildings appeared in front of them. The outermost part is a large courtyard, followed by a row of attic palaces, with no end in sight.
While walking, Tao Chengzhi introduced to him, "This is the school field, and we have to exercise here every morning." ”
"With such a large campus, how many of you are there?"
"There are more than 3,000 students in our academy, and this includes those who have not yet enlightened their souls. Answering his questions while walking, Tao Chengzhi said with a smile: "You will slowly know these things in the future, now I will take you to meet our dean first, and settle you down first." ”
They walked through the school grounds, through a corridor, over a rockery, and finally to the place where the dean was.
"Knock knock", Tao Chengzhi knocked on the dean's door, this place is not much different from other rooms, except that there is a wooden sign nailed to the door frame, on which the word dean is written.
With a "squeak", an old man who looked extremely strong opened the carved wooden door, wearing an ancient costume, and Seamus didn't know what dynasty it was, but he didn't have the bun on his head that he imagined, but just like him, he had short hair.
"Come in, Tao Chengzhi, you go back first and help him bring his luggage back." With that, he turned and went into the room, sat down behind a desk, and said, "Sit down." ”
Seamus sat opposite the old man, not knowing what to say, the old man spoke first, "I don't know what Albus has in mind, but since you have come to the academy, you have to study hard, lest you go back and be accused of hiding my secrets." There's nothing you can't teach in my academy, as long as you can learn it, you can learn it all. Now what questions do you have? ”
Seamus thought for a moment and asked the question he had been thinking about in the taxi just now, "Do I want to take a Chinese name, which can also be regarded as following the local customs." ”
"Oh, that's not bad, do you have a favorite name of your own? The expression on the old man's face relaxed a little, and he slowly agreed.
"How about Zhang Muzhi, I quite like this name. Seamus thought the name was pretty good, at least it sounded like a so-called literati.
"No, I can't. The old man's face instantly straightened, and even turned a little black.
"Then my name is Zhou Nan, is this okay?" sat the dean in front of him, and Seamus also behaved very kindly, and said his previous name.
"This one is ok. The dean's face softened again, and he smiled for the first time, "You're still good." ”
Seamus didn't understand the dean's mental activity, and after asking some questions about his life, he left the dean's office and went to the dormitory that had already been assigned to him. Tao Chengzhi was still in the dormitory, seemingly waiting for him to come back.
It is better to say that it is a dormitory than a study, although the population of the academy is large, but there is also a corresponding method of Sumeru mustard seeds, and the space is still more than enough. This city is a single room, with a lot of space inside, which is divided into several parts.
"What did the dean say to you? Don't look at him always with a straight face, he is actually quite talkative, and every time I go down the mountain and get caught, although he looks scary, he doesn't actually punish us much. Seeing Seamus come in, Tao Chengzhi hurriedly stood up.
"You can call me Zhou Nan now. Seamus happily told him that he had used his name again after two years, "Ask you something, what is the name of our dean?"
"Dean, his name is Zhang Muzhi. ”
