Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Old Man

Xiluo Magic Academy was founded in 759 years before the Tianyuan calendar, by the first dean of the academy Tariq and his wife Inara, has a history of more than 1,000 years, Xiluo Magic Academy was originally a civilian magic academy founded by Tariq and his wife in the mainland, the former site of the academy is in the west of the continent in the Wufu Sea, after the catastrophe of gods and demons more than 400 years ago, it moved to the territory of the Tianlan Kingdom and gradually developed into the number one magic university in the eastern region of the entire continent.

As for why a small magic academy can become one of the most important forces on the continent? The reason is actually very simple, because the savior hero of the first god and demon catastrophe of mankind, the high priest of the God King Temple, and the descendant of the main god Seraphim, Gael, came out of the Xiluo Magic Academy and was buried in the soul tower of the academy today. The status of the Xiluo Magic Academy has also become unshakable in one fell swoop, and no one knows what kind of terrifying power the Soul Tower suddenly located in the Xiluo Magic Academy four hundred years ago was.

The soul tower in the academy is said to be the artifact held in the hands of the main god Seraphim and the demon god Belier in the battle over the Wufu Sea, this battle lasted for three months, the gods and demons were beaten and injured, the demon god Beryl was sealed in the abyss of despair, and most of the seventy-two demon gods under his command fell, and had to retreat to the undead plane to which the demon world belonged. As the main god descended, Gael was also seriously injured, and the god king Seraphim was missing, and Gail later took the Soul Tower back to Xiluo Academy and died shortly after, and the Soul Tower has been located in Xiluo University since then.

As the predecessor of the temple, the temple of the god king later had a lot of conflicts with Xiluo University over this matter, they thought that since Gale was the leader of the temple of the god king, the soul tower as his relic naturally belonged to the temple. However, the explanation given by Xiluo Academy is that the edict given by Gail before his death stated that he would be buried in the Soul Tower, and the Soul Tower was kept by Xiluo University on behalf of the Xiluo Academy, and it was not returned until the next God King's inheritance appeared. The people on both sides have negotiated countless times, both trying to take the only artifact on this continent for themselves, but until now they have not come up with a specific solution, which is why the relationship between the temple and the Xiluo Magic University has not been very harmonious.

Xiluo Magic University is located in Naxi City, the royal capital of Tianlan Kingdom, Naxi City is divided into two parts, the inner city is the location of today's royal family and various princely palaces, and most of the entire outer city is occupied by Xiluo Magic University. It can be said that the special geographical location of Xiluo Magic University is the confidence of the entire Tianlan Kingdom, as a small kingdom, it has never been invaded and encroached upon by neighboring principalities and empires, and relying on the rapid development of the high-quality magic talent output of Xiluo University every year, Naxi City will become the third largest city in the continent and such a thriving scene.

The moat passes through the middle of the Xiluo Academy, and the river water converges into an artificial lake in the middle of the academy, and there is a small island in the center of the lake, which is planted with emerald green hollow bamboo, and there is a tall marble statue of the god king Gail, which is dozens of meters high, and can be seen in almost the entire Xiluo Academy of Magic. The statue carved Gale is tall and handsome, holding a hammer of thunder and lightning in his left hand, countless stirring electric lights shining on his arm, and a flaming sword in his right hand, raised high and pointing to the sky, with a small pagoda above his head, similar in style to the Soul Tower, but much smaller. And there are twelve white wings on the back, which looks very majestic and domineering.

Along the lakeside path all the way to the south, there are tall teaching buildings, these teaching buildings are different colors, but the roof color is mainly divided into three types, black, white and gray, which represent the first courtyard, the middle courtyard and the upper courtyard. Among them, the first and middle courtyards are called the inner courtyard, and it is also the place where junior mages and intermediate mages teach, and you can get the graduation certificate of the outer courtyard of Xiluo Magic University when you walk out of the teaching building on the white roof, and the black teaching building belongs to the inner courtyard of the school, which is the place where people above the senior mage in the academy can enter the study.

Behind a large school building is a huge plantation, in which many high-quality magical beasts are raised, and these magical beasts are usually the origin of the second layer of the soul tower to attach souls to intermediate mages. Walking back for almost half an hour, there was a large dormitory building with a uniform color and style, and at this moment, Liu Yetian, who was panting, was standing in front of this large dormitory building, carrying a large bag of luggage and looking inside.

"What should I do now? Liu Yetian and Xun'er took the daily necessities given to them by Teacher Xiaolan, from beds to bedding, and looked at this large area with a little helplessness, each of which looked exactly the same, and each of them was a tall dormitory building with six floors.

"There's an old man sitting there at the door of the dormitory building! Brother Ye Tian, let's go ask him. Xun'er pointed to the old man who was half-lying under the rocking chair in the white dormitory building not far away.

Liu Yetian and Xun'er came to the white school building, and the old man was half-lying on an old-fashioned mahogany rocking chair and squinting in the sun. The old man looked very old, dressed in a black cloth coat, so stiff that he could only hunch over and lie sideways on a rocking chair, his face wrinkled enough to kill more than double-digit flies, his hair was gray and his eyelids drooped, and he looked like he was in his old age.

Xun'er originally stepped forward to ask the old man how to get to the dormitory building where they were, but found that the old man was taking a nap and snoring slightly from time to time, so she had to stand aside and wait for the old man to wake up after a while before asking.

Soon half an hour passed, during which Liu Yetian wanted to remind Xun'er to go to other places to ask, don't delay time here, but Xun'er made a silent gesture to signal him not to move, she seemed to be very afraid of disturbing the old man's rest, and stood aside respectfully. Liu Yetian muttered to himself that he didn't know which tendon of this chick had been twitched, and he had found it building by building at this time, but Xun'er didn't seem to have the intention of leaving at all, so in desperation, Liu Yetian had to wait here with Xun'er for the old man to wake up.

After another cup of tea, when Liu Yetian was very impatient, the old man rolled his lowered eyelids and woke up slowly. But he didn't seem to notice that there were two more people beside him, and he slowly got up with great difficulty, pulled his rocking chair and was about to go back to the dormitory building.

Seeing this, Xun'er hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Hello grandpa, the two of us are freshmen, but we can't find a place to stay in the dormitory, can you help us show us the way?"

The old man stretched out his trembling right hand without raising his head, and said in a somewhat hoarse and harsh voice: "Let me see the dormitory key and the college access card." ”

Xun'er hurriedly handed over the keys to the dormitory of the two, but she had a hard time in terms of access cards, because she and Liu Yetian didn't seem to have access cards, what should I do?

It's just that soon she understood, the old man slowly walked up to Liu Yetian, who was in a daze, and slapped him on the wrist, and he let out a strange scream when he was startled. When Liu Yetian was wondering, the old man's voice was so familiar, it seemed that he had heard it somewhere, and felt that the sunlight suddenly dimmed a lot, as if it was covered by shadows, and then there was a hot pain in his arm, and as soon as his wrist was loosened, a delicate and small card jumped into the old man's wide palm.

The old man glared coldly at Liu Yetian, who was scared out of the sound of killing pigs, and slowly spit out two words, "Noise!" and lay back in his rocking chair.

Liu Yetian suddenly felt a burst of anger, he had waited for this eccentric old man who was dying for so long, and he was slapped inexplicably and reprimanded?

Xun'er was stunned for a moment, signaling him to be calm, and still stood in front of the old man respectfully, looking very well-behaved and obedient.

After a while, the old man spoke approvingly: "Well, yes, it is rare to see polite children!"

"The first building on the left hand side of the men's dormitory is 326 dormitory on the fifth floor, and the women's dormitory is on the right hand side of the third school on the seventh floor of the 526 dormitory. ”

The old man paused, shook the card in his hand and said slowly: "The access card is a necessary item to enter and exit the college and each dormitory building, the college and dormitory building are not subject to access control before the end of the freshman entrance test in the previous month, but the students who successfully enroll in a month will be issued an access control card, like yours with storage space access card is only available to the top 200 students with excellent final test scores." Although I don't know what kind of relationship you got it, but to occupy the resources of the academy, you must have the corresponding strength, otherwise no matter how good the resources the academy gives, it will be a waste to give waste. ”

The old man's words almost made Liu Yetian's nose crooked, what is the so-called waste and waste of resources, does he look like a waste like this? Lai Hao himself is also a human being in two lives, how can his mental maturity be comparable to that of these teenage little guys? Isn't it that seeing that this old man's time is short, this old guy who has already punched his fist is full of flowers.

It's just that Xun'er was very happy on the side, and after bowing and thanking the old man very respectfully, he took Liu Yetian's demon and hurriedly ran away with him.

It's just that he didn't notice that after the two of them left, the old man's right hand, which had been hidden behind him, was taken out, and there was no flesh on the white wide bony palm, the joints lit up a few times, and his wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"What two interesting little guys, tomorrow is expected to give Seaton a big surprise. ”

Liu Yetian and Xun'er came to the central road that divided the dormitory buildings, Xun'er took her own bedding and package, and ignored Liu Yetian's questions and grievances, and whispered to him: "Brother Ye Tian, I will wait for you in this place tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, let's go to the Soul Tower together for magic awakening, don't sleep lazy!"

jumped and ran away with his package, leaving him with an innocent and beautiful back, Liu Yetian touched his nose a little helplessly, and most of the resentment in his heart disappeared now, so he had to carry his things to his new dormitory.

To be honest, Liu Yetian still has some small expectations for the dormitory life of the Academy of Magic in this life, several people in the dormitory of the university dormitory in the previous life are basically their own lives, and after a few years, the classmates in the class don't know anyone, and the relationship feels plain from beginning to end, and it is estimated that even if they get together again in the future, they may not even recognize who their roommates are.

When Liu Yetian walked to the door of the bedroom with a large bag and a small bag, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground inside, as if someone was smashing something, and then it was accompanied by a few screams, what kind of plane are these people doing inside? Liu Yetian stood behind the hidden door for a long time a little strangely, and only slowly pushed the door in after confirming that there was no big movement inside.

As soon as he entered the door, a huge washbasin flew in front of him, and he subconsciously dodged sideways, and the basin smashed into the door frame and was shattered by the huge impact.

Liu Yetian was taken aback, and subconsciously looked inside, only to see a big man who had reached the iron tower grabbing the collar of the thin black-haired boy like a chicken cub and picking him up, and there was a purple-eyed young man with blond hair and bright clothes standing in front of him, and the purple-eyed young man was staring coldly at Liu Yetian in front of him at the moment, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said contemptuously.

"Oh, new roommates, welcome, Polk looks like we're going to give this new classmate a welcome gift again. ”
