Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pier That Never Falls
Two days later, Emenas, early in the morning.
The morning breeze carries the morning dew, which is still a little cold, and the bridge on the Lanjian River is full of students, who gather in the corresponding area according to their student numbers, and then teachers and staff check their identities, micro seals, and materials one by one.
After the check, each new student will be given a booklet with their student number and name written on it as a temporary pass. Then, with the sound of the iron lock sliding, the tall gate on the bridge slowly opened, revealing a wide road in the middle.
The bridge deck is wide enough for 10 horse-drawn carriages to run to the opposite bank, and the river is covered with early morning fog, which envelops the back half of the bridge, and only a faint outline can be seen.
"Everyone, line up one by one." Some staff members pulled on ropes to separate the new students in an orderly manner, and then boarded the bus in order of student number.
Yes, because the bridge is too long, it is too slow for new students to walk over it on foot, and it is also difficult to carry luggage, so there is a special magic guide locomotive to pick you up.
These magic locomotives are about five meters high and more than ten meters long, and there are steps on the side of the car to go directly to the second floor, where passengers sit, and the first layer below is a complex power system and mechanical structure, and there are no people.
Lorain Hill carried the box up to the second floor of the locomotive, found a place to sit by the window, and looked around a little.
Since she came relatively early, there were still many freshmen in their group of students in the queue, and there were only a few students on the bus, and when Loren Hill sat down, a freshman in front of her also turned his head and said hello.
"Hello, my name is Bumantha." The freshman has chestnut blonde wavy hair and a slightly rounded face, giving him the temperament of a big sister next door.
"Hello, my name is Loraine." The girl nodded.
"Uh-huh, it's beautiful, Loraine, are you from the Plantagenet Dynasty?"
"Well, no, I'm from Clancy, maybe I'm of some Oriental ancestry." That's how Loren Hill can explain. Before, it was not obvious that he was silver-haired and blonde, but now after changing to black hair, this oriental and tranquil temperament is immediately highlighted, which makes people have to suspect that he is an oriental.
"Well, I'm from the verdant east coast, I'm sorry. Because when I was a child, I saw a lot of merchants and travelers from the East, and I felt a little like it, so I guessed like this. ”
"It's nothing, in fact, I grew up with my teacher when I was a child, and I don't know what country I am from."
Lorain Hill shook his head, his long satin black hair was slightly blown by the river breeze, and the two chatted briefly, and then the number of people in the car gradually increased, and then it slowly stopped.
"Hello, is there anyone here?"
When the car was almost full, a girl caught up, and after looking around, she walked over and asked carefully, probably because she saw that Loran Hill had a soft face and was easier to deal with.
"No one, sit down, it's okay."
The car was full of girls, chattering and whispering, it seems that the student number is divided by men and women, although Lorain Hill downplayed his appearance, but it was still very prominent, so that many girls were ashamed of themselves and did not dare to sit with her. Only when the last few seats are available do new students come in and ask.
"Thanks, my name is Nia." The girl with the hat said in a slightly soothing tone, as if relieved, before she put down her luggage and sat down on the wooden seat.
When the people were almost there, a staff member came up to take stock.
"One ...... missing," he whispered, his voice a little hesitant.
"Ready to go?" The middle-aged uncle who operated the magic guide locomotive asked at the bottom of the stairs.
"Wait another 10 minutes, otherwise, you will miss one, and you will have to write a report to explain, which is quite laborious."
"Well, what a trouble, I want to go back and have a little drink." The middle-aged uncle complained, then walked to the other side to rest.
After a while, just as the staff was about to call for someone to leave, a girl in a long golden dress walked over, followed by a group of attendants with luggage.
"I'll just say, the Academy's magic guide locomotive will definitely not go first, Miss Ben came at the right time."
She waved the folding fan in her hand a little proudly, and then asked her attendants to carry their luggage up.
"Sorry, only freshmen can go up on the bus." Uniformed staff stood in front of them.
"So what should I do with so much luggage? You can't let me move on my own. The wealthy girl was a little dissatisfied.
"According to the rules of the college, new students can only bring a maximum of two suitcases to school."
"Why haven't I heard of it, you can't be fooling me."
"This should be something you were reminded of when you got a letter of recommendation." The staff member frowned and continued to explain.
The two argued for a while, and the guards below who helped deliver the luggage hurriedly came up to persuade their eldest lady not to conflict with the staff, after all, they are not formal students at this time, and they will suffer a big loss if they don't get it right. Emenas is the number one university in the world, and the power of their family is not enough.
In the end, the eldest lady had to compromise and chose the two most critical boxes for the staff to help carry them to the car, while the rest stayed, let the group of guards keep them first, and then find a way to send them to the school after a while.
After everyone arrived, the magic guide locomotive slowly started.
The road on the bridge deck is very gentle, and the magic guide locomotive uses the mainstream magic guide furnace, which is similar to an electric motor, the roar is relatively small, and the speed is relatively stable.
As the sun gradually rose, it was already about 10 o'clock in the morning, and the refreshing river breeze blew through the car window, passing through the entire carriage, the bright sunlight shone on the endless river surface, sparkling, and the fog that was originally shrouded in the river water also dissipated, revealing the distant scenery.
Since the other end of the bridge was directly ahead, only a small part could be seen from the car window, and when it approached, through the long city gate tunnel, the cool smell poured in through the car window, and the new students barely realized how grand the bridgehead was.
After the magic locomotive left the city gate tunnel, it took a long time to get out of the shadow of the magnificent building. Some of the freshmen let out a burst of exclamation as they looked back.
It should be described as a war fortress rather than a bridgehead, with huge towers and high walls, like a monstrous beast lying on the riverbank, the mouth of the giant beast is a tunnel through which it passes, and the layers of shooting holes and observation towers above the tower exude a gray-blue color in the sunlight.
"This fortress is one of the four university levels of Amenas, the Pier of the Falling, and it is also the main battlefield in the Chaos War, and students who major in the war sequence and the ocean sequence will come here in the future."
The staff introduced in detail, known as the solid stone pier in the turbulent torrent, this academy is good at cultivating strong-willed warriors and military generals.
