Chapter 135: Entrance Ceremony (2)
Holy Falcon Empire Wizard Academy, in front of the drawbridge.
"Freshman! Line up! Don't go any further, I'll take care of getting you into the castle. Please don't bring any of your belongings, as other gentlemen and ladies will be responsible for transporting your belongings to the dormitory later, but that will be after you have been sorted! Wonderwise was in charge of ushering the new students, and he tapped his wand to his throat, and his voice immediately became louder.
In the sea of people, Wonder Wise's beardless face smiled. "Come on, come with me, are there any new students? Watch out for the soles of your feet, all right! New students come with me! ”
They followed Wonder across the drawbridge. Wonder Wise raised his wand above his head after all the freshmen had walked across the drawbridge, flicked it towards it, and the drawbridge rose on its own.
As the drawbridge closes completely, the corridor behind Wonder West becomes unreal. Wonder snapped his fingers three times, and the menorah on the front wall of the hallway lit up in a certain pattern, and then the whole wall became illusory, and in a moment it disappeared entirely, replaced by a slippery cobblestone path flanked by dense jungle with water vapor. All the freshmen were surprised to turn their heads to each other.
"Be quiet, kids. What you're seeing is a defense mechanism for the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy. Actually, the corridors and arenas you passed through during your morning exams did not exist in this castle, but somewhere else. The power of magic temporarily replaced a space with the original site and road here, of course, this is the effect of the magic array, and there is no way to do such a thing with the power of just a few spellcasters. Wonder reassured.
"The Dragon Teng Dunjia technique is possible, and the cultivators of the Qin'a Empire can distort the space just by relying on their own strength." Joshua couldn't keep his mouth shut, he liked to take the stubble.
Lena slapped Joshua on the top of his brain and smiled apologetically at Wonderwise . Wang Dawai didn't mind, but said patiently: "Child, I don't know what you call the Dragon Teng Dunjia Technique. However, I have to admit that Aisha's truth is so huge that I haven't even been able to explore a small corner, and if the technique you are talking about really exists, I think the caster must be a powerful Dao Master - the cultivator of the Qin'a Empire pursues the way of heaven, and it is not impossible for some of them to have such power. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Vandawise, Joshua didn't mean it - he just couldn't control his mouth sometimes, but I assure you that the Dragon Armor Technique is real, and it works through a five-layered pentagonal circle that opens a portal at the target node of the circle—the permanent kind, unless the circle is destroyed. My brother and I saw the evil circle with our own eyes, and our parents died at its hands. Lena said to Wonderwise .
"I have heard of the suffering of Mr. Donavan and Mrs. Donawan, and you must tell me the story of the circle when you have the chance, but for now, please Miss Donavan keep Mr. Donawan's mouth in check, we have been delayed for some time, and Miss Blista is waiting for us, she will be displeased." With that, Wonder wiped the tip of his wand against the corner of his coat and shot two sparks. The two sparks grew larger, split, and then turned into many small glowing fireballs.
The cheerful little things seemed to jump and scream, and then floated towards the freshmen, causing some timid girls to scream.
"Don't be afraid, girls, they won't hurt you. Hold one by one, and they will turn into cute little creatures when you touch them. Here, girl at the beginning, try it! ”
A little girl at the top of the line shook her head timidly and ducked back.
"Alas, rest assured! It won't hurt you! What is your name? Wonder Wise said.
"Louise, Louise White," the little girl whispered to Wonder Wise.
"Oh! The little girl of the White family. Okay, Louise, don't be afraid, it's not hot, hold it in your arms, you'll feel warm, the girls of the White family are known for their bravery, aren't they? Wonder Wise suggested.
Louise nodded vigorously, reaching out and gently touching the nearest fireball. The fireball felt Louise's touch, and happily plunged into Louise's arms, turning into a little rabbit composed of spiritual flames. "Oh, you like rabbits, Louise. The flames will become your subconscious favorite docile animals, not only to light the way, but also to keep your body warm. Wonder Wise said.
Louise was so happy that she stroked the rabbit's ears vigorously. "It's really not hot, it's warm. The chill on his body seemed to be dispelled. Louise showed her Flame Bunny to the other freshmen.
When all the freshmen saw Louise's cute little friend, they couldn't wait to greet the nearest fireball, and for a while, all the uneasiness seemed to be dispelled.
All the children are teasing their flame buddies, with Lena's fireball turning into a smiley flowerback spider and Joshua's a goat. "Oh, I thought it was going to be a fire dragon." Joshua said with some regret. Lena sneered: "Hey, Josh, it seems that you have no chance to be a dragon knight, you are destined to become a sheep kuku knight, hahahahaha~"
Wonderwise took a few minutes to quiet the happy group of children, and he walked ahead and led the children down the cobblestone path.
Slippery and stumbling, it seemed to be going downhill along a steep and narrow path. It was pitch black on both sides of the path, and Joshua thought it must be a dense forest on either side. No one spoke. Only Joshua occasionally sniffed once or twice to tease the flame-made goat Kuku, which was made up of flames.
"Turn this corner, and you're about to see the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy for the first time." Wonder looked back and shouted. Then there was a loud "oh——! "At the end of the narrow path, a black lake suddenly unfolded. On the high hillside on the other side of the lake rises a majestic castle with spires and windows twinkling under the stars.
"No more than four people per boat!" Wonder wondered loudly, pointing to a group of small boats moored to the shore. Louise and a boy get on the boat, and Joshua and Lena follow suit. "Are you all on board?" Wonder shouted that he was alone in a boat. "That's good...... Onward! ”
A group of small boats immediately rowed across the mirror-like lake. Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle that reached into the sky. As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to rise above them.
"Keep your head down!" As the first boats approached the cliff, Wonder Wise shouted. Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff front to the secluded open entrance. They followed a pitch-black tunnel that seemed to lead to the castle underneath, and finally reached a place that resembled an underground pier, and then climbed up to the ground of gravel and small pebbles.
They climbed a stone staircase and gathered in front of a large oak door. "Are you all there? Look at each other, no one is left behind, right? Wonder raised his wand and knocked three times on the castle gate.
