Chapter 217: The Mystery of the Mural
In front of the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, there is also a statue, this person has a resolute face and holds a sharp sword, which is the heroic statue of the Thunder Ancestor who slew the Demon King.
Black Feather glanced at it and instinctively scoffed, a reaction from when he saw the figure of this person floating out of the Book of Ancient and Modern in the history of magic class.
"The way this person looks, it's annoying to look at. ”
Ling Xiao tearfully retorted:
"What nonsense are you talking about, people are heroes!"
"I still think the archangel statue in our holy city is more handsome. ”
"That's ...... too"
In the college, there are a large number of young talents who come to sign up, and the long queue has been lined up from the registration office in front of the teaching building to the gate.
Seniors from various magic departments set up promotional booths around the playground to attract new students passing by. Others gathered in front of the ring in the middle of the playground.
"This school is really big, it's really lively. Ling Xiao looked left and right, every teaching building here was magnificent.
"Senior class leader, why don't you go and line up for us first, let's go over there. Black Feather said, shoving the information cards of the two people into his hand.
Yi Xin's forehead was bruised, and he roared:
"Why should I line up for you!"
But he still carried forward his brother's demeanor, silently standing in the line in front of the school gate, watching Hei Yu and Ling Xiao walk away happily.
Ling Xiao went straight to the library of the Royal Academy of Magic, which was relatively quiet, and when he entered the door, he was greeted by the mural on the dome.
This mural is quite ancient, and depicts the ancestor of the Thunder Family, holding the god-killing blade in his hand, slaying the demon king. The editions in books or paintings on the mainland are all based on this mural.
Ling Xiao stopped and looked up with tears in his eyes, attracted by the scene on the huge picture.
The picture seems to move, and in the center stands the dark, fierce Demon King, who is like a mountain, standing on the chaotic battlefield, and the crowd at his feet is as small as a sesame seed.
On the high ground in front of him, the ancestors of the Thunder Family stood, attracting thousands of thunderbolts and hunting demons. There are also the clansmen of the light elves, who heal in the rear.
Behind them, stood the ancestors of the Chiyan family, warriors and magicians all raised their weapons and surrounded the demon king. On an inconspicuous hillside, there stood some Dark Elf clansmen, who seemed to be collectively chanting the seal of the magic array.
There are also scattered demon clans and snow giants scattered everywhere. Above the sky, soaring dragons and winged demons.
The focus of the picture is the warrior of the Thunder Family, who has been granted divine power, spreading his white wings and flying high in the air, holding the blade of killing gods, and is slashing towards the demon king.
Black Feather looked at this picture, a little distracted.
Ling Xiao's tears suddenly made a little stunned, "There seems to be something wrong with this painting......"
"What's wrong again?"
"I can't tell, it's just ...... This painting is unlike any other version I've seen......"
It stands to reason that there should be no mistake in saying that this painting has been handed down since ancient times.
The academy was later expanded several times and renamed the Royal Academy of Magic, but the mural is probably unaltered.
After looking at it again and carefully experiencing the subtle expressions of each character on the screen, she suddenly felt that the forces standing on both sides of the demon king were like two opposites that were incompatible, and they all looked at each other with hatred, not at the demon king.
Not to mention the legend in the past, the Thunder Family and the Chiyan Family teamed up to fight against the Demon King. The expressions of those characters are details that are invisible to other minimized illustrations.
She couldn't help but recall the words of Tsuruin Sensei: "The truth of 5,000 years ago is full of mysteries. ”
"What happened 5,000 years ago?......
She shook her head, "Just think it's my crankiness......" This story has been heard by children, how could it be wrong. It's too hard to change stereotypes.
At this moment, in front of the lectern on the side of the library, an elderly teacher was telling the history of the "Great War of Men and Demons".
The visitors sat in chairs in front of the podium and listened quietly.
In front of the podium, there is also a disc symbolizing the "Return of Ten Thousand Streams", and the brilliance of the nine magic systems converges at one point. Strangely, there is no such thing as the Book of Ancient and Modern.
The two found a chair and sat down.
The teacher is talking about the chapter of the Tree of Life:
“...... At this time of the decade, the tree of life is in bloom, and the petals slowly turn from white to pink, and then from pink to red......
"The Tree of Life is the passage connecting the human world with the heavenly realm, and it is also a proof of the existence of the gods! All life and matter on this continent, whether animals, plants, water, air, or soil, all come from the Tree of Life. The royal family of the Divine Domain has guarded the Tree of Life for generations, and it is to guard this continent!"
His tone was passionate, and his eyes looked meaningfully into the distance.
Suddenly, outside the huge glass window opposite him, there was a "crackling" sound, like the sound of snow flakes falling, and everyone turned back in horror to see a large number of crimson petals falling, and the light in the room flickered on and off.
"Ahh
Everyone covered their mouths, feeling that something was wrong, and the falling flowers were like rain, like red clouds covering the window, and the sky and the earth outside the window changed color, which was very abnormal.
People left their seats and walked to the window, and in the distance, they saw the top of the huge tree of life shaking slightly, and the pink petals suddenly turned red, and then fell one after another, red as blood......
Elderly Panic:
"It's amazing! Although the tree of life has gradually shown a declining trend in the past hundred years, there has never been a case of a flower withering prematurely! This is a bad omen!"
When everyone heard this, they were also very frightened, "How could the petals suddenly fall?......
"Could it be that it's the reason for the demon clan?......"
They speculated one after another, and naturally pointed the finger at the demon clan.
At this time, the Thunder Emperor stood on the round platform in front of the imperial palace, extremely angry. Seeing the red petals falling one after another, his mood was the most anxious.
"What's going on! The day of the Divine Grace Ceremony is coming, how could this happen!"
The so-called acceptance of divine grace is a tradition that has been handed down since the ancestor of the Thunder Family killed the Demon King. In order to stabilize the Thunder family's dominance on the continent, the gods once promised to give the eldest son of the Thunder vein the power of God for generations, so that he could become a strong man who surpassed all the forces on the continent.
The gods only come once every ten years, and this date is crucial for the entire royal family.
Originally, ten years ago, at the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony of the prince Lei Jue, the gods planned to grant Lei Jue divine powers. And put forward a condition: as long as Lei Jue can get the first place in the entrance examination of the Advanced Magic Academy.
