Chapter 211: Knowledge and Power IV

Previous Chapter

Jiao Ming only felt his body shake when he spelled out these words, almost didn't stand firmly, and stumbled out of the library before realizing the problem. His lingua franca is only half a bottle of water, he has no acquaintances or is not familiar with the rules here, and he may not be able to understand even if he is hinted at asking for bribes, even if he rushes to Qinglan Academy, what can he do?

So it still has to fall on the ice lotus.

Thinking of this, Jiao Ming made another difficulty, unlike his own situation of being excluded but indifferent, Binglian is more or less a celebrity in the Fire Magic Academy, coupled with consciously making friends with various people, his extracurricular life can be described as very rich, even as a boyfriend, Jiao Ming doesn't know where he is now, and there is no way to find it. And although Luohua is subordinate to Jiao Ming and is not very professional, she was also pulled by Binglian to fill the faΓ§ade, and she usually does not follow Jiao Ming's side.

"It would be nice to have a mobile phone!" Jiao Ming cursed, and his eyes fell on the library behind him, thinking of another person: Evan.

"Can you do me a favor?" Jiao Ming, who came back, didn't care about the bottom of his heart and the etiquette of the nobles, and asked bluntly.

"Gladly. Evan closed the book and smiled.

Pulling Evan out of the campus, he drove the carriage to the Qinglan Academy near the palace, and Jiao Ming briefly described the situation on the way. Evan didn't care about himself, so he naturally kept his calm, and suggested contacting Shining Scale again, asking for details, and comforting that the matter might not be as serious as imagined, but it might be possible to simply call the parents, after all, Qinglan Academy is a new royal family, and no one dares to do something pickled in a short period of time.

Jiao Ming took out the communication box, fiddled with it in front of Evan, and sent the word 'details', and the reply he received was: 'suspected espionage'.

Evan stared at the translation table with a straight look in his eyes, and it was not until Jiao Ming raised his voice that he came back to his senses, muttering the word 'spy', his expression gradually becoming solemn, urging the coachman to hurry.

When the two of them arrived at Qinglan Academy, they saw Shining Scale and others waiting at the school gate, and they figured out the truth in their mouths. Xiao Shi used the earth-based magic of Qi in the 'Magic War' to 'cross the line', and then he was suspected of being a spy. Jiao Ming was puzzled by this reason and the logic of cause and effect, while Evan explained it on the way to the 'school office'.

Earth-based magic is very different from the other three systems, and it involves others. Extracting the dust of faith from the souls of others as raw materials, condensing them into objects, and constructing them, then there is inevitably a fundamental moral problem: the will of the extracted.

After hundreds of years of observation, it has been discovered that the key is to use soul dust to condense the hue of objects. The condensate is single and transparent in color, and it is the dust of the soul that extracts the common nature, and most of them are used to store ordinary people as believers, which is very common in theocratic countries. The color of the condensate is dull and messy like sludge, and it is randomly extracted and mixed with soul dust, which is the practice of the mainstream earth mages within the kingdom union now.

Finally, Evan added: "Of course, this is just the usual case, and there are exceptions, and there are many of them. Ling Mei was suspected because of this, although it is excusable, it is unreasonable, and it should not be difficult to clarify. ”

Jiao Ming was relieved to hear this, after all, the object of suspicion was the spellcaster spy in the two great divine kingdoms, Xiao Shi, a ten-year-old girl, her mind was obviously not up to such a job. I wanted to ask what the 'Magic War' was about, but I had already entered the Academic Affairs Office, and when I glanced at it, I saw Xiao Shi's face sitting in the small chair as usual, and Jiao Ming was completely relieved.

There were more than a dozen people in this spacious room, most of them were busy with their own affairs on the other side, only two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, sat in front of Xiao Shi, the man watched coldly, and the woman seemed to be asking questions, and her expression was not like interrogating a prisoner, which was quite pleasant.

Seeing Jiao Ming and Evan coming in with Xiao Shi, she naturally guessed the reason, and the woman asked, "Are you two the parents of Xiao Shi's classmates?"

As soon as Jiao Ming wanted to speak, he was stopped by Evan who stepped forward in time, and then saw this thing dancing like a set of aristocratic greeting gifts, a man and a woman, two middle-aged people, and the other people in the room The faces of the two middle-aged people changed from relaxed and casual to dignified and cautious. Jiao Ming was dumbfounded, thinking about whether he should pay attention to this 'aristocratic etiquette' set of things that he once thought were 'useless'.

The next development is also very simple, Evan only used a few words to let Xiaoshi return to Jiao Ming's arms, and then spent half an hour of threatening and luring all the confused people in the room, including Jiao Ming, and reached a consensus with the only two people who understood that 'this matter was a misunderstanding'.

"Owe me a favor. Sent out politely, Evan smiled at Jiao Ming.

"Please eat chicken thighs in the evening, teleported from the crocodile collar. ”

"If you think Sister Ling is worth a chicken leg, I'm free. ”

The corners of Jiao Ming's mouth twitched, and he was so choked that he had nothing to say, so he could only accept it, and turned his head to ask a few little guys what the 'magic war' was and the details of Xiao Shi's capture for using earth magic.

Shining Scale and Little Warren suddenly became energetic, their eyes lit up and they kept talking, and the others also made additions from time to time, and at the same time pulled Jiao Ming to the practice field to see that seeing was believing. The little ones had all taken Evan's etiquette class, and they were familiar with it, so they were also invited, and Evan smiled and followed.

According to Shining Scales, the magic battle is the most interesting activity in the school, and it is a must-attend event for all students. To put it simply, it is a group of five people fighting, of course, the team level is assessed by the number of rings added, so as to avoid meaningless crushing battles due to the disparity in strength. And the team led by Flashscale is already sitting on the top two, and it will soon be able to defeat Warren Jr. Little Warren, of course, was not convinced, and choked back.

"Who is the first team?" Jiao Ming was slightly interested. Although Shining Scale can fight better than Warren Jr., considering that it is a team of five, Shining Scale's tiger strength is indeed not suitable for team fighting.

The noisy Shining Scale and Little Warren didn't care to answer, and the other little guy who failed the etiquette exam said, "People from the Blue Python royal family." ”

Jiao Ming nodded and searched in his memory, and remembered that this little guy was called Lan Ze, a person who helped heat the furnace when he burned cement in the northern castle, and had a good relationship with Little Warren, which meant that he could not leave Meng.

After a few turns in the schoolyard, they came to a small playground where ten young magicians around eleven or twelve years old were fighting. Jiao Ming only glanced at it a few times, his face was solemn, and there was no trace of relaxation. I thought it was just the same as the fight between Shining Scale and the others when they were in the crocodile collar, but I found that the ruthlessness in the eyes of these children was too chilling, and the fireballs and magic blades were all beckoning to the key points during the fight, and there was no meaning to stop at all.

Flashing scales are accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "This is the lowest team, five people add up to only ten rings, there is nothing to see." If we add up to 19 rings, that's wonderful. ”

"These children are not water-based magic warriors, what should I do if my body is injured, what should I do if my spirit is injured when I cast a spell?" Regarding the use of magic, I had asked Binglian for advice at the beginning of the crossing, and it was very troublesome if it was mentally injured, and there were not a few people who dropped out of the junior magic academy where Binglian studied. In terms of physical fitness, the physical fitness of the other three magicians is that of ordinary people, so they do not have the powerful self-healing ability and disease resistance of magic warriors, coupled with the backward medical conditions in this world, minor injuries can worsen and die. So in a battle of this magnitude, it is not surprising at all that a little carelessness can kill someone.

Flashscales didn't seem to have thought about this at all, and were stunned for a moment. However, Lan Ze paid attention to this matter and replied: "Physical injuries will be treated simply, but only six or seven out of ten can recover. Then he looked left and right and whispered: "If your mental strength is injured, you will be taken away by the school, saying that you will drop out of school." Someone in my squad was taken away, but I'm sure he didn't go home, and he received a bereavement pension at home, the same amount as the second-ring magicians who died on the front lines. ”

Jiao Ming's heart was even colder, understanding that this Qinglan Academy was not a magic 'school', but a reserve magic regiment of the Blue Python Kingdom.

Compared with the High School of Magic, the difference in the educational philosophy of the two is even more obvious. The Advanced Magic Academy cultivates pedants, magic-savvy rulers, and high-end combat power, and everyone has a net worth background and is an elite. And this Qinglan Academy cultivates cannon fodder, front-line battle mages, and even dead soldiers. Jiao Ming knew what earth-based magic could do, and with the injured children whose spiritual power 'evaporated from the world', everything was not difficult to guess. All kinds of thoughts made Jiao Ming's face change, and a sullen feeling in his chest was depressed.

Evan stepped forward at this time and patted Jiao Ming's shoulder and said, "Just think about it, don't say it." This can be regarded as the unspoken rule of each kingdom, but this time the Blue Python Kingdom has expanded it through this academy. ”

Jiao Ming glanced at the 'teachers' who had been following him all the time, or more precisely, the 'Boy Scout officers', and thanked Evan softly.

It was getting late, so Jiao Ming waited until the end of school at Qinglan Academy, and rode back to the castle with a few little guys. On the way, I finally learned about Xiaoshi's brilliant performance, and I actually made five transparent sleeves directly, and there was no way to chase the other five people, so I directly admitted defeat. Not only that, but the captain of the other party is also a child of the royal side branch among the new first-year students, and he came to gild to recruit his subordinates, but he was disgraced and disgraced.

In the end, Shining Scales hugged Xiao Shi and said proudly: "Sister Xiao Shi is already the queen of the first-year freshmen, which is really amazing." ”

"I think it's the royal children in the new students who are too wasteful. Little Warren snorted, as he always did against Shining Scales.

Jiao Ming looked at the little poem in Shining Scale's arms, his mind was complicated, and after a long time, he asked, "Is there such a magic competition in the Noble Junior Magic Academy of Flowerhorn Deer Blackstone and Lilmele?"

"Of course not, they are all envious. Shining Scales raised his little face, as if to show off his unique toy, and the expressions on the faces of the other little ones in the carriage were similar. Jiao Ming sighed secretly in his heart and didn't ask any more.

After dinner in the evening, he and Binglian told Xiaoshi about it, and finally said: "I used the translation table and communication box in front of Evan, and with his IQ, he should be able to understand the trick quickly, so I thought it would be better to sell this thing for a good price at the end." ”

The matter was urgent, and Binglian couldn't participate for some reason, plus this was the method proposed by Jiao Ming, so Binglian didn't blame her, she directly agreed to this plan, and began to think about the next link: "Who do you want to sell to?"

"I don't care. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders. "And you're the one who can get the most out of it. ”

Binglian pondered for a moment, her eyes gradually sharpened, as if she had made a plan, and leaned over and pecked Jiao Ming's cheek. Jiao Ming threw out the ultimate goal as planned: "And I want to transfer Xiaoshi to another school." Then he explained the essence of Qinglan Academy, and added: "This method of raising Gu is too brutal, and I hurt Xiao Shi in it, body and mind. ”

"I'll figure it out. Binglian directly agreed, and then reminded in a low voice: "Evan is a good person, his favor is not so good, come to me next time you have something." ”

"Of course I understand, so I'm sending you this. Jiao Ming said and took out a barely delicate metal ball and handed it to Binglian to play with: "When I look for you, this thing will vibrate and beat in my direction." Since you don't know how to do magic, that's all you have to say. ”

Binglian felt a thin rope through the hollow hole in the metal ball, put it around her neck, and then put the metal ball from the neckline into the clothes and put it close to her body. Then he hugged Jiao Ming and whispered in his ear: "When there is no little poem in your room, there will be surprises." ”

Jiao Ming didn't react at first, but when he saw Binglian's red cheeks, he realized: "A word is a decision?"

"I didn't promise anything. Binglian smiled coquettishly, dodged Jiao Ming's arms, touched the metal ball on her chest, and said goodnight and left.

......

The next afternoon, in the library, Emily found Jiao Ming again, and Jiao Ming didn't wait for the other party to speak, so she handed over the book in her hand, and felt more and more that this was a kind of accosting.

"Classmate, can I borrow something from your waist to take a look?"

Jiao Ming instantly wanted to be crooked, swallowed his saliva, but choked on saliva. "It's not good...... ...... in public"

Evan's face changed, and he rushed over and lowered Jiao Ming's head with a palm, and apologized to Emily at the same time, saying that Jiao Ming came from a poor rural area, and his lingua franca level was limited, so he used the wrong words. Emily blinked her big watery eyes a few times, a little inexplicably, but accepted Evan's apology and repeated the request. Evan didn't wait for Jiao Ming to answer, shook his wrist, and already held the metal communication box in his palm, and respectfully offered it with both hands.

Emily played around for a moment and asked, "How do you transmit information when it's so small?"

Obviously, yesterday, Jiao Ming's words and deeds did not escape the eyes of this young eight-ring qi magician.

At this time, Jiao Ming has realized that he has just been reckless and dead, in this world where strength is respected, respect should be maintained for the strong, although the strong people of the eight rings and nine rings encountered near the crossing are still kind, but they can't be mistaken for the fact that there is no vengeful guy in this world.

At the same time, he also felt tricky about Emily's question, so straightforward, with his identity as the eighth ring, it was a little difficult to even bargain.

In the middle of Jiao Ming's hesitation, Evan spoke first: "Can I ask you a question?"

Emily nodded.

"This friend of mine is very curious about your research direction, and even speculates that it overlaps with his own research direction, and if you are lucky enough to know a thing or two about your research direction, we will be happy to tell you the little secret of the communication box. Evan speaks slowly, carefully speaking, and always paying attention to Emily's reaction as he speaks, so as to make adjustments.
