Chapter 285: Early Winter
In the early winter of 1498 in the continental calendar, it was sunny.
"Smack"
Reaching out and pushing open the bedroom window, there was only a slight breeze mixed with the scent of grass.
The wind and moon are over, and when Extraordinary lay down last night, there was still a strong wind outside, but today it was calm.
Scholars at the Academy of Magic say that it was the wind that returned to the sky and retreated back into the ocean.
"As long as it's not on the ground, I don't have to wear a stuffy sand mask!"
The sun sounded, and you could see the students in the academy outside rushing towards the gate.
Civilians are not allowed to watch the evaluation of the four academies, and most of the students outside who are ready to watch the evaluation of the four academies have no classes today.
After a simple wash, the bread in one hand and the apple in the other came to the gate of the college.
The four little ones were already standing in front of a carriage hired by the academy, and when they saw the extraordinary arrival, they waved their hands to summon them.
In the carriage, Feng Man rested his arms on the window nonchalantly, supporting his cheek with one hand.
Fire Fagul's body stiffened and he was sweating profusely.
Little Dunk looked at a notebook, and saw that the material was the same as that given to him by Priest Dunk, which was very knowledgeable.
Only Anna's face was calm, and since she got in the car, she only stared at the extraordinary, which made the self-proclaimed extraordinary very embarrassing.
"Annar, do I have flowers on my face?"
Listening to Extraordinary's question, the other three pairs of eyes looked at Extraordinary at the same time, and three seconds later, a burst of laughter erupted in the carriage.
"Extraordinary priest, I guess your breakfast must have been leavened bread with honeydew melon sauce!"
After listening to Feng Man's words, Extraordinary didn't know that if the corners of his mouth were not clean, his IQ should go offline.
Sticking out his tongue, he rotated up and down, left and right, and rubbed the back of his hand back and forth twice in disgust, and then looked at the four teenagers opposite without changing his face.
"Now? Can you still guess?"
"Hahahaha......"
Such a casual extraordinariness was something that the four had never seen, but after the laughter, even the most nervous Gul's body relaxed.
It would have taken about forty minutes to get from the rubble to Central Queens at normal carriage speed, but by the time we reached the West Gate of York University, it had already been an hour and a half since the lid of the pocket watch was closed.
After getting off the carriage, Extraordinary was shocked by this side door of York University.
The monolithic white-gray marble gate is flanked by two sculptures of twin lancers.
At the top of the gate, the metallic coat of arms of Orlanto, a scepter in one hand and a great sword in the other, shone with a golden light.
A west gate is so magnificent, then the north and south gates as the main gate are not even more brilliant.
Compared to the other three colleges, York University is the newest to be founded, with a history of only a few hundred years.
Its predecessor was the "Yorkshire Noble College" run by the University of York.
However, King Louis II visited Yorkshire, saw the grandeur of this aristocratic college, and on a whim, gave it the name "Royal York University".
However, the Duke of York at that time strongly declined the king's favor and named it "York University".
Although the words "royal" and "noble" have been removed, York University is still closed to the common people.
Despite this, York University still has more priests than the other three colleges combined.
York University was a non-profit company, so the down-and-out aristocracy of the entire kingdom flocked to it.
As the saying goes, quantitative change causes qualitative change, but after a few hundred years of development, York University ranks in the top three of all the colleges in Orlanto, and of course it is the ranking of the aristocratic circle.
After entering the gate and verifying the extraordinary clergy badge and the four-elementary cadet badge, someone led the extraordinary group to the venue.
"I don't know which idiot is scheduled to open at noon and don't have to eat lunch?"
Feeling the sleeves of his robe being ripped off, he saw little Dunk behind him with eyes and stopped talking.
"This was made during the first session of the Four Academies Magic Exploration Conference, and the person in charge of customizing the rules at that time was the third dean of our magic academy!
"Ugh!"
The first half is extraordinarily auto-omitted, and he is very interested in the "strongest dean".
"You mean the challenge at that time, the dean, the old man, oh no, the third dean is gone?"
"Yes, Extraordinary Priest, except for the fact that we won the first place in the magic competition, we lost in other things such as magic potions, magic materials, and magic golems. ”
It seems that the four-eyed little Dunk is also a scholar with a physique.
Seeing the extraordinary eyes, Anal was not happy.
"Extraordinary Priest, in fact, the earliest time was the evaluation of the Five Academies, and there was also a 'Continental Sword Master Academy', but he only participated in one session, and then almost the entire continent's Sword Master Academy was closed!"
This extraordinary is somewhat understood, because with the heart of nature, a power that can only be mastered by the gods, the heart of the brave can be cultivated.
"Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts!"
Suddenly this sentence came to mind.
Just imagine, if there is a rebellion within the kingdom, it is easy for a group of civilians with big swords to crush it, or a group of middle and high-level swordsmen with kitchen knives to deal with.
As a result, without systematic learning, there are fewer unstable factors on the mainland.
But compared to people like magicians, that's a lot.
This is like one magician in 10,000 human beings, but in 10,000 people, as long as the physical fitness is passed, at least 1,000 low-level swordsmen can be produced.
And among these thousand people, there may be a hundred intermediate sword masters.
A hundred sword masters may appear ten high-level sword masters, and ten great sword masters are possible.
Therefore, there is no intuitive feeling of extraordinary, and the second place he came to after leaving home is the main city of a large county.
Sisselshire, there is not even an office of the Magic Guild, and when I see a magician, I am still passing by, and it is like the New Year.
During the conversation, I don't know how far we went, and the extraordinary few people finally arrived at the training arena of York University.
Different from the ordinary academy training ground, this training ground has a viewing platform, and the number of stone benches in a circle is only one circle smaller than the gladiatorial arena on the Kurt Fortress.
However, compared to the moss-covered fortress gladiatorial arena, the arena at York University is very neat and pleasing to the eye.
The entire circular layout of the arena, a huge black stone circle and small black stone circles arranged according to the six-pointed star, if Extraordinary guessed correctly, these small black circles are the venue for judging the competition.
Because they were contestants, Extraordinary and Four Little were taken to the front of the stands to take a rest.
"Extraordinary Priest, there is a small magic circle under our feet!"
Hearing Gul's exclamation, Extraordinary discovered the anomaly under his feet.
A magic detection, to the surprise of the extraordinary, was the core magic crystal that he had not discovered that drove the magic array.
"This is a remotely controlled magic array, presumably some magic defense array, or magic barrier or something!"
Seeing that the time was still early, Extraordinary raised his hand to a magic barrier, the only high-backed chair, which seemed to be prepared for the leading priest.
"I'll rest first, a big guy will come up on stage and wake me up!"
