Chapter 61: Dinner at the Academy

The castle's refectory is lined up with wooden tables in front and back. In mid-air, the candle floats, and on the table, the candle flame flickers. The delicious fragrance of ten miles is dizzying and makes me salivate. The mage students sat at the wooden tables and talked to each other, apparently more than during the Soul Selection Ceremony. The wonderful thing is that there is no chaos in the canteen of thousands of people, I don't know if everyone did it deliberately, or if it was filtered by a certain sound.

Anyone who has read that famous book will relate to it and know what the venue is like in general. It can be said that this is the most familiar place I have seen when I come to this magic academy. However, there are differences.

I had the impression that at dinner students were required to wear robes, which was characteristic of a wizard. The students here are not. They were dressed in civilian clothes, talking and laughing, without a sense of solemnity. I have the impression that there will be ghosts, elves and other supernatural creatures in the dining hall, but there are none, and it seems a bit ordinary. I have the impression that there should be a row of tables and chairs in front of the table where the teachers eat - where are the leaders? Is this an arrangement to shorten the generation gap, or is it a joke to deepen the generation gap?

"Xiao Hui, Yi Jiahe, come here. Josh beckoned to us.

As I walked down the aisle, I noticed a lot of people staring at me. They weren't looking at me, they were looking at Xiao Hui.

"How, regain your memory?" Alex asked me.

I shook my head in the negative, and two out of ten sighed.

"So, I owe you fifty sock coins and don't have to pay it back?" Josh's eyes lit up.

"That still has to be paid. "I really didn't know about it.

Josh hung his head, and everyone couldn't help but snicker.

On either side of the table is a class of classmates, occasionally interspersed with a few "weirdos", such as the leader of the college, or classmates from another class. Originally, it was rude to eat in shifts, but the leaders of the college all intervened, and it became a strange thing to prohibit skip-in meals.

"Two, give way. After speaking, Liang Kairong naturally sat between me and Xiao Hui, and then gave us a bright smile.

That's how it feels like to be a fawnβ€”what are you thinking, I'm not a woman. But......

"Huh?" Liang Kairong showed his tiger teeth, the lethality of this smile was really too great.

Looking at the smile of the Guardian who stood side by side with me, I felt sad.

"Brother Liang, can I punch you?"

"Uh......" Liang Kairong's surprised appearance is also very handsome. Why don't I have such a handsome face?

"It's a joke. "Words without a joke.

It seemed that the number of people was all together, and the iron door at the entrance of the cafeteria slowly closed.

"Everyone," Dean Fang Dongyan stood up and said, "Today is the day for the third-year students of our college to choose their souls. Therefore, I would like to suggest that the first and second graders give them a round of applause and congratulate them on their first partner in life. ”

In the applause and applause of everyone, I almost shed tears: "Sister Dongyan, how many partners does a magician have in his life?"

Dean Fang took a seat, I thought I could eat, but I didn't expect everyone to clasp their fists and close their eyes and prayβ€”there were several students, such as Charlie, who had his hands foldedβ€”and I couldn't think of a prayer.

Leung patted me, and I found that everyone was ready to eat.

"Forgot the pre-dinner etiquette in the academy?"

"Yes. "I said to Liang Kairong truthfully.

Liang Kairong raised his knife and fork and cut off the slices of meat from a piece of meat and put it on my plate and said, "We magicians are human beings who are ordered by nature and vow to maintain the ecological balance of nature with our own efforts......

"Magicians are human?" I was shocked.

"Of course......" Liang Kairong, who paused for a moment, continued, "I think Yi Jia and his classmates have forgotten the mission of the magician, which is also a helpless thing. ”

"I want to know. "I'm looking forward to it.

Liang Kairong smiled knowingly and said, "Even if we forget, the elemental magic contract we signed with nature in the place where souls gather will not change. ”

Seeing that I was stunned, Liang Kairong explained to me: "We magicians are different from ordinary people, and we must make a contract with nature when we are born. So, you could say that people like us can use magic from birth. The contract we sign is irreversible, and it is not something we can easily change. ”

"Brother Liang, can you tell us more about the contract?"

"Yes. The Natural Elemental Magic Contract, which is a formless and wordless soul contract. Because our ancestors worshiped and revered nature, we have obtained from nature the power that ordinary people cannot match, that is, elemental magic. ”

"Aren't you innate or innately possessed elemental magic?"

"It's not 'you', it's 'us'. Liang Kairong put his palm on my chest and said, "Our bodies flow with the blood of our ancestors, and our souls are engraved with the immortal spirit. Even if you don't get the soul device, you're still one of our magicians. It's fate, as you say, innate. ”

Leung Hoi Wing let go and motioned for me to try the slices of meat. I took a bite and it tasted weird.

"Goo Pig's meat. ”

I was stunned.

"Gollum Pig is a magical creature of star two, with both good and evil. The good like to stare at the human brain, and the evil like to brainwash the human being. Because their brainwashing isn't that horrific way, we've rated them as two. For knowledge about magical creatures, you can go back and look at your old books. Liang Kairong also ate a piece of meat.

"The meat we eat is the meat of a bad coo-gu pig?"

Liang Kairong said with a smile, "Gugu pigs have strong reproductive ability, and if they are not controlled, they will destroy the natural ecological balance, and when this happens, the boundaries between good and evil will be blurred." In order to maintain the balance of nature, we magicians round up the Gollum Pigs. If the balance is restored naturally, we will release the Gollum Pig as the case may be, for good or evil. ”

"I see. ”

"This coo-goo pig must have just died. ”

"Oh, it's just slaughtered. ”

"No," Liang Kairong said to me, "this is a coo-gu pig that died of natural causes." ”

"So, we're eating dead things?"

"It's also a blessing from nature, don't say it so bluntly. The girl sitting across from me said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right," Leung said to me, "the food you see now is a blessing from nature. Of course, it is not good to eat dead things, but we must not wantonly kill and disrupt the balance of nature. You can rest assured that the Food Management Office of the College has a special screening system to know what level of dead things cannot be consumed by humans. ”

Liang Kairong wrapped the meat of the Gugu pig in vegetables and put it in his mouth to chew and swallow, and then said: "Back to the original question, why do we have a prayer ritual before the meal......

"Because we want to be thankful for nature's gifts?"

"The child can be taught. Whether we are humans or magicians, we are all born in nature and enjoy the blessings of nature. Do you know why in the last 100 years, the number of ordinary people who have turned from ordinary people to magicians has become less and less? Because ordinary people have forgotten to revere nature, and have instead believed in the supremacy of money and the pursuit of power and interests. This concept has been passed down from generation to generation, and ordinary people have become more and more distant from nature. ”

"When ordinary people turn their backs on nature, nature turns their backs on them. The boy next to me interjected.

"Therefore, most of the students in the Rad's Elemental Magic Academy now belong to a member of the wizard family, including you, Yi Jia, and your classmates. "Liang Kairong look at me.

Yi Yunfei and Zhang Meiling are magicians?

"According to Brother Liang, you say so, all magicians are people who fear nature, and there are no bad people, right?" I asked.

"No," Liang Kairong put down his knife and fork and said solemnly, "although we are under the command of nature and can use elemental magic, we are still human beings after all. Naturally, he is selfless and has a clear distinction between love and hate. If someone upholds the principles of nature, nature will give them strength. On the other hand, if someone violates the laws of nature and maliciously destroys the ecological balance, they will be punished by nature, whether it is a magician who walks under the light or a magician who lurks in the darkness. ”

"Yi Jiahe, actually, I ......" Xiao Hui next to Liang Kairong muttered.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I, in fact, am a magician from an ordinary family......" Xiao Hui said with his head bowed.

"Oh. "Is this a surprising thing?

"There are very few magicians like Xiao Hui who are from ordinary families. In a way, Xiao Hui is a magician who is about as rare as an endangered magical creature. The girl across from me said.

"That's right," the boy next to me answered, "so when Xiao Hui got the Dalai Crystal, everyone was panicked. It's good that we're in the same class as him, and we're able to take this as an honor for the class, but other classes don't think so. ”

"A class magician from an ordinary family can obtain the Dalai Crystal, which symbolizes the supreme elemental magician. Ah, even I get angry when I think about it. I said to the girl next to me.

"You can't be conflicted. Liang Kairong smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry......" Xiao Hui said weakly.

"Xiao Hui, whether or not he is from a magician family is not a very important matter. What matters is the attitude you plan to use with Dalai Crystals. ”

"Guardian, let alone using the Dalai Crystal, I don't even know if it's my soul device. ”

The girl who pretended to be angry just now took the fork of the girl opposite me and threw a mushroom to Xiao Hui and said, "It's not yours, who else will it be?"

"Lord Magic Mirror can't be mistaken. The girl opposite me glanced at Xiao Hui's fork with mushrooms on the side of his plate and said with a disgusted expression.

"Come on, Xiao Hui, let everyone see your strength, and then prove to everyone in the academy that you are the unique master of the Dalai Crystal. Liang Kairong encouraged.

The harmonious dining atmosphere warms my heart. I don't know what the thirteen out of ten students next to Xiao Hui are doing......

"Josh, why are you puffing up your mouth like a balloon?"

Josh was still stuffing food into his mouth.

"Woo......" he replied to me.

Josh said that the food was delicious, and it would be a shame not to eat more. "Charlie, how did you understand him?

"You have such a big belly that you can stuff so much food?"

"Woo......"

Josh said, no problem. "The sound is staccato and obviously wrong. Charlie, you translated it yourself, right?

"Josh Walker, overdo it, beware of diarrhea again. "Adam ate gracefully.

"Woo......" Josh behaved strangely.

"He's choking, get him some water!" Liang Kairong and Xiao Hui hurriedly helped Josh clear his esophagus.

A few seconds later, Josh, who had swallowed the food, said with tears in his eyes, "Ah, saved." ”

"I said, it's time to change your bad habit, every time. Alex rebuked Josh.

"He's such a person. Charlie replied to Alex.

"Yi Jiahe, this is delicious, you can try it too. "Enthusiastic Josh shoved a plate of strange stuff in front of me.

"What's this?"

"The fruit of the Celestial Tree of Pleasure Tree, a magical creature of Star One. ”

Looking at Josh's smile, I finally held the hairy fruit in my hand with considerable resistance.

"You can't eat it directly, you have to put it away. Seeing that I was about to put the hairy fruit in my mouth, the people around me panicked to stop me.

I really think what I'm eating is rambutan. However, when you bite into your mouth, this thing is not as juicy as rambutan. From the outside, it's similar to the whites of a hard-boiled egg, and it's about the same as a bite, but it tastes completely different from a hard-boiled egg – the thing that makes my taste buds dance with joy is simply delicious.

Eat one and take another, and you can't stop at all.

"What kind of fruit is this, so delicious?"

"We call it the Fruit of Bliss, and it's the Bird of Bliss' favorite food. Liang Kairong replied.

"Yi Jiahe, just in moderation, you can't eat too much. "Josh, are you qualified to speak of me.

"Josh is right, you can't eat too much of the Fruit of Bliss, it will hurt your stomach. ”

"So, if I eat so much, will I have stomach trouble?" I asked Liang Kairong.

"Generally, if you eat less than ten at a time, it's not a big problem. "I ate seven.

Extremely reluctantly putting down the Fruit of Bliss in my hand, I asked, "Brother Liang, what is the Bird of Bliss?"

"The Bird of Paradise at Star Four is a magical creature capable of harnessing storms. They live in the mountains of Busad, and often sing in groups at dawn or dusk. The song of the bird of paradise is melodious and melodious, and it is the beautiful music of the wizarding world. In particular, the song sung by the bird of paradise when it finds its mate, if you can smell it, you will definitely feel that the other songs are just human noises. While eating the fruit of bliss and listening to the song of the bird of bliss, sorrow and sorrow will be left behind, leaving the feeling of bliss. ”

"Wow, that's so good. If you have a star four, isn't it the same as a night ghost? ”

"How can it be the same," said Josh, "not to mention the difference in attributes, there is a greater difference between the two, and that is that the bird of paradise is beautiful, and the night ghost is ugly." ”

The crowd was silent.

"Are the birds of paradise dangerous? They can also rise to the stars like night ghosts?"

Liang Kairong replied to me: "All magical creatures are harmless and harmful, and we can't generalize. If you offend the Birds of Bliss, they will attack you mercilessly. As for star ascension, it is actually a kind of level judgment of magical creatures by magicians. There are many magical creatures that can transform into more ferocious creatures, and the mage will change the level determination to upgrade them to a higher level of magical creatures. ”

"Night ghosts are magical creatures of the four dark attributes of the star, and when they turn into shadows entangled in black mist, they will ascend to the stars and become dangerous magical creatures. ”

"Ma Chao, when did you come?"

"I've been here a long time ago," said Ma Chao, who was next to Adam, as he took a bite of a blissful fruit, "It's rude to change seats during the meal, so I'll be in your class before the meal." You didn't even see me?"

In this way, Park Ji-woo and Kojiro Suzuki are gone.

"Park Ji-woo went to their class with a lot of people, and so did Kojiro. "My idol sees what I'm thinking.

"Bird of Paradise, Ah ......" fantasizes that Liang Kairong and Bird of Paradise sing together, this should be a hard-to-find concert.

Josh leaned over next to Xiao Hui and said with a wicked smile, "What, you want to hear the Bird of Paradise sing?"

"Hmm. ”

Josh made the envoy look at Liang Kairong.

"Why?"

"Stupid," Josh said back and poking his head out to me, "to hear the birds of paradise sing, and ask us Guardians." ”

"I? I can't get him to sing. Liang Kairong smiled bitterly.

"You're his master, why can't you make him sing?" Alex, who was next to him, seemed to be looking forward to hearing the song of the bird of paradise.

When I asked this question, everyone in the class smiled at Liang Kairong, and this scene made me panic.

"Listen to your tone, as if the Guardian could take us to the Bird of Paradise. "I was hesitant to take another Bliss Fruit.

"Haven't you already seen it?"

"What?"

Josh smiled and said, "Our guardian beast, Lele, he is the Bird of Paradise of Star Five. ”

The Fruit of Paradise slipped out of my hand. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
