CH.68 Tears of the Stars

Legend has it that a huge meteorite once landed in the Sea of Blades, dragging a blue ray of light in mid-air, like tears falling from the stars.

The meteorite fell into the sea and formed an island, which was named Star Island.

And the famous Academy of Tears of the Stars in the Sea of Blades is being built on this island.

An Rui and Sha Fei rowed a small boat and docked at the only pier on Star Island. The two of them needed to act secretly this time, so they didn't bring the fleet over, but just rowed a small boat in a low-key manner.

The Academy of Tears of the Stars is a relatively closed academy, and it does not welcome idle people to visit the island, but only accepts some big names, or those who are willing to pay a high fee to go to the island.

An Rui and the two happen to belong to the latter.

After the two docked, they paid a large amount of money to the clerk to go to the island and were given temporary identity tags. The badge allows them to stay on the island for seven days, after which the text on the badge will automatically disappear and become scrap. Moreover, they are not allowed to wander around during their time on the island, and can only operate in a small part of the island that is open to the public.

"One last word of caution, don't wander around, there are some places on the island that can be dangerous, especially the places where magic is experimented, or the laboratories of wizards. On this island, walking around is deadly. The clerk shook the quill in his hand and admonished repeatedly.

"Don't worry, we're just here to visit, to open our eyes, and we're not going to wander around. How can you cause trouble for the wizards. Anrui smiled.

"It's for the best."

After getting rid of the clerk, Shafi came to Anrui's side. He said in a low voice: "If that person knows our true purpose, I don't know how Lu Dao will feel." ”

"I'll probably tell the wizards of the academy to go out en masse and use magic to blast the two of us to slag." Anrui guessed.

The two talked as they walked. Enjoy the view from the side of the road.

This is a wizard's academy, and naturally there are many unusual places, and the wizards who live here have made this island like a dream, and you can see the magic of magic everywhere.

The flowers on the side of the road change color from time to time, sometimes they are clear blue, and sometimes they are enchanting red. For a moment it was twilight yellow. Above the flowers, dark clouds move slowly, dropping droplets. The dark clouds strictly controlled their direction and only drifted above the flowers. But it will not rain on passers-by.

Higher up, sometimes wizards flew by in various ways, some flying with wings, some flying on flying machines. There are also people who fly in gravity.

"Two. If you need help, just let us know. A paper crane flapped its wings and flew to An Rui's side, and said politely.

There are many more of the same cranes, which fly back and forth on the road to help those who come to the island. Behind these cranes, there is a wizard's control. Talking to the crane is the same as talking to the wizard on the island.

"We don't need help. Xie Lu thanked him. "Anrui still wants to talk to Shafi, and he doesn't want to be heard by outsiders. Politely declined.

"If you need it, please feel free to tell us, and you're welcome." After speaking, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew away, greeting another pedestrian walking on the road.

The two of them continued on their way, and halfway through, Shafi suddenly stopped and looked at a delicate place on the side of the road.

I saw a fountain suspended in mid-air, the fountain sprayed in various postures, and the water drops fell, but instead of falling to the ground, it would be suspended in the air, waiting for the next spray. Under the sun's rays, a seven-colored rainbow emerges near the fountain.

"It's beautiful." Sophie sighed, "It makes me want to learn magic." ”

"You can buy a book and give it a try, it just so happens that our fleet is short of wizards." An Rui smiled.

Both of them knew that this was just talking, if Sha Fei really had a talent for magic, she would have shown it a long time ago, how could she wait until now.

The area of Star Island is still very large, plus the two of them watched the scenery along the way, and it took more than ten minutes to walk in front of a group of buildings.

This complex is the main body of the Tears of the Stars Academy, and has a castle-like exterior with a deep black color and a large tear-shaped badge hanging directly above it.

The two entered the castle and came to a special house, but almost everyone who landed on the island had to come here.

The house is called the "House of the Hundred Gates", and it has hundreds of spatial portals that lead to various parts of the island. Entering different doors requires different identity permissions, and many doors rely on the identity cards in the hands of visitors to not enter.

Even the local dean couldn't navigate the hundreds of portals - he couldn't get into the girls' dormitory.

When An Rui and the others first arrived, the first thing they did was, of course, to go to the accommodation area first, find a place to settle there, and then make other plans. The two of them walked towards the portal that led to the lodging quarters.

"Let's go. Professor Atoya has always been stern, and if he is late, he will have to be punished. ”

"I heard that today he is going to disclose the progress of the construction of the floating island, and I don't know how the island is being built now."

"I took a look at it two days ago, and it's almost finished, it's quite magnificent."

"When it's done, we'll be able to live in heaven. I'm looking forward to it. ”

"Professor Atoya always thinks that wizards are superior to others and should distance themselves from ordinary people, is this really true?"

"Shhhh

Several students from the local college walked briskly, talking as they went.

An Rui and the others stopped in an instant, looked at the backs of the students, and then exchanged glances. The two of them came here, the main purpose is to clean up Atoya, and now they happen to encounter Atoya's affairs, of course, they should pay attention to it, and maybe they can gather some useful information.

Several students entered a portal, their figures disappearing into a twisted spatial vortex.

"Hopefully we can go where they go." Anrui muttered, and walked with Shafi to the portal.

There is a bird-shaped sculpture above the portal, which will sound a warning if someone who cannot pass through the portal approaches.

Luckily, the bird-shaped carvings were quiet and silent, proving that the students were not going to a forbidden place where outsiders were not allowed to set foot in.

The two of them passed through the portal smoothly, as if they were stepping into a storm, and their bodies and clothes were squeezed and torn by a force. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and in a few blinks of an eye, the two of them passed through the space tunnel and came to another world.

It is a circular corridor that leads to several rooms, with an open-air parapet on the left hand side that allows you to look down from the railing, and a door on the right hand side. The students before were walking briskly ahead.

The two followed.

The students stopped in front of a door, pulled it open and walked in.

An Rui and the others then followed in, and found that it was a rather spacious circular classroom, which was divided into three main areas, one area was the podium, one area was the place where the students listened to the lectures, and the other was a place for outsiders to sit.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the classroom, and only 10% of the seats were empty, and the places where outsiders sat were no exception.

It seems that today's class is open to the public.

"Luck." An Rui turned his head sideways and whispered to Shafi beside him, "Atoya destroyed your ship, fought with you, and probably remembered your appearance, so you better cover your face." ”

Shafi nodded, took out the veil that had been prepared early in the morning from her pocket, and handed it to An Rui.

An Rui understood and helped Shafei put the veil on.

The two of them found a seat with a wide view and sat down and waited patiently.

A short time later, the door on the other side of the podium opened, and a wizard with long gray hair entered, dressed in a wide wizard's robe and carrying an oversized wooden staff with a strange glowing eye embedded in the end. He has a Chinese face, with small magic circles of unknown purpose on both sides of his cheeks, and a serious expression.

The class, which was still noisy before, suddenly became quiet, which shows that Atoya still has a certain majesty.

Atoya walked over to the podium and looked at the people sitting across from her.

At this moment, An Rui clearly felt that Sha Fei who was sitting next to him trembled, he looked sideways and found that Sha Fei was clenching her teeth, and her eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire. He reached over and grabbed Shafi's hand and rubbed it twice as a sign of comfort.

"Pirates have feelings for each other, too." An Rui sighed in his heart.

If Shafi didn't care about those dead men, she wouldn't be so obsessed with revenge, and she couldn't let go of it after so long.

Standing on the podium, Atoya first made some opening remarks, and quickly got to the point.

"I have called you here today mainly to update you on the latest developments regarding the floating island, and as you know, I have been working on the construction of the floating island for many years, and I have spent a lot of effort on it. The reason why I built this island is to give the wizards of the Tears of the Stars Academy a place to live, and to keep the wizards away from the ground. ”

Atoya held out his hand and pointed to his feet.

"The earth represents the ordinary, it is the place where ordinary people live, and as a noble wizard, you should live above the sky, with a proud posture, overlooking the living beings below. In the rest of the seas, there have already been sorcerers who have created floating islands and lived in the clouds, neighboring heaven and heaven. In this regard, our Tears of the Stars Academy is much behind. ”

"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a floating island, and it costs a lot of money, but the end result is just to bring people to the sky. A lot of people can't understand my actions and the greatness of this cause, and it bothers me. ”

"I've said it many times before, wizards are different from mortals, we have great power and can do incredible things and accomplish miraculous feats. In ancient times, shamans were even called demigods. I agree with this claim, and in the Lord's world, we are indeed the closest beings to God. Those mortals should look up to us, not look down on us. ”

With that, Atoya set his gaze on the seat where the ordinary man was sitting, his eyes full of contempt. (To be continued......)
