Chapter 209: Knowledge and Power II

Jiao Ming and Luo Hua were chatting, and the crisp voice of the flashing scales sounded not far away: "Big lazy worm, you finally woke up!"

Turning his head to look, he saw Shining Scale and Lilmelle each holding a large basket and walking with a smile on their faces, the difference was that the concern in Lilmele's smile was comforting, while the provocation in Sparkle's smile was depressing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and haven't seen each other for a year, Jiao Ming found that the two of them have grown a lot taller, and their age is about twelve years old, at first glance, they are no longer children.

"Excuse me, sir, is Sister Shi awake too? We miss her very much. Isn't it?" Lilmele didn't wait for Jiao Ming to think of how to choke with the scales, so he took the first step to divert the topic, and finally used his elbow to turn the scales to verify.

Flashing Scales' train of thought was instantly deviated, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, but I miss death, is she awake?"

Jiao Ming put aside the little mesom in his heart, looked up at the high sun, and said, "Just trouble the two of you to wake up Xiaoshi, although the journey is tiring, it is enough to sleep for so long." ”

The two half-grown girls looked at each other, put down the basket, and ran into the castle with a cheer, but Lilmolle politely said goodbye before following Shining Scales. Jiao Ming smiled slightly, and then continued to walk around with Luohua.

This stone castle is slightly smaller than the northern castle of the crocodile family, with only three floors, the second and third floors are cell-like small cells, and the hall on the first floor is twice the size of the second and third floors because of the kitchen and banquet hall. A group of little ones uphold the excellent transmission of the crocodile collar and participate in the labor themselves, carrying food to the kitchen in baskets like ants moving. The little guys who had taken Jiao Ming's math class all greeted Jiao Ming, and of course none of them shouted 'big lazy worm' like Shining Scales. After turning around for half a circle, Jiao Ming saw that the creeper that he had sent over had already climbed all over the east exterior wall, but it did not have a tendency to spread to the interior of a certain room.

The castle was surrounded by gravel and wood, and on the west side was a poultry house with chickens and ducks, but there was no shed for large animals such as cattle and horses. Out of the courtyard and strolling, farther away was the vegetable garden and the small territory attached to the castle, Jiao Ming was completely unrecognizable to these green crops due to his lack of agricultural knowledge, but it was certain that he had never seen them on Earth or in the crocodile territory.

"What a great place!" Jiao Ming admired.

"It's best if you're satisfied. Luohua, who had been following behind, smiled.

After walking around, Jiao Ming returned to the creeper on the east side of the castle again, rubbing the main vine with a thick wrist, experiencing this familiarity, and thinking about how to further use this spatial passage.

It didn't take long for Binglian to come over in person and take Jiao Ming's hand back to the room.

"Is the banquet ready?" Jiao Ming asked. "You know how to eat. Binglian scolded with a smile, and then explained: "It's to try on new clothes." Jiao Ming's face suddenly became bitter, the painful experience of being dragged by his mother to try on clothes when he was a child floated in his mind, but he was relieved, referring to the objective conditions here, at most three sets of clothes, and it would be over after a while.

"Why don't you want to?" asked Cold, squinting his eyes.

"I'll do whatever you ask me to do. Jiao Ming knew that he couldn't hide it from Binglian, so he simply used sweet words to make him no longer delve into it. And as expected, Bing Lian blushed, turned her head without saying a word, and walked three points faster. Jiao Ming's wrist hurt and almost dislocated.

In the following time, Jiao Ming was constantly fiddled with by the ice lotus. There are a total of five sets of costumes used in various occasions, each of which has to be posed in various poses, and an aunt tailor writes down various opinions of Binglian on paper to make changes. Although Jiao Ming became more and more irritable, he also secretly warmed his heart, because these clothes already fit very well, and it was obvious that Binglian had her body size in mind.

After trying on the clothes, the aunt tailor stayed in the room to modify the details, while Binglian and Jiao Ming went downstairs to attend the banquet. After a lot of eating, drinking, and playing, it gets dark, and the two quietly climb onto the roof for a tryst. Jiao Ming rubbed his stomach and remembered that Evan was still nowhere to be seen, so he asked Binglian, who was leaning side by side, "Regardless of the guests, is it a bit rude for your family to eat and drink?"

Binglian withdrew her gaze from the children who were making a fuss in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "With that guy's social methods, I'm afraid that I'm talking about business and eating food with a certain nobleman now, rude or something, you think too much." ”

Jiao Ming suddenly left the guest behind with peace of mind, grabbed Binglian's hand without a trace, and asked, "Generally speaking, women only have more clothes than men, I'm a little curious about how many sets you have?"

"It's also five sets, and I'm very frugal. ”

"Wear it to me?"

"It's so beautiful that you ......" Bing Lianjiao snorted, but she was also a little moved. At this moment, the little ones in the courtyard gathered into several groups, chattering about something, and then the stars surrounded the little poem like the moon, as if pleading. Shining Scale and Lilmeler kept order in order, and the two on the roof heard clearly that the little ones were begging the little ones to make something.

When it comes to small poems, Jiao Ming naturally attaches importance to it, and he looks carefully, but he doesn't see more.

"Go down and ask?" Binglian suggested.

"Forget it, let the children play. Jiao Ming retracted his body and leaned forward, just in time to see three horses on the road in the distance. "Look over there, it's not Evan's boy. ”

Binglian put her hand on the pergola, then nodded in confirmation. The two of them were not so familiar with Evan when they said they were familiar, but they still went downstairs to be polite to him. Then Jiao Ming remembered Evan's performance when he visited the capital of the Dezel Kingdom, and thought that this free tour guide was also good, so he told him about tomorrow's sightseeing plan and asked him if he had any companions.

Contrary to Binglian and Jiao Ming's expectations, Evan actually agreed happily. While glad to take advantage, Jiao Ming also frowned secretly, because he always felt that when he had just made the invitation, Evan seemed to have a hint of relief in his expression. Thinking about it to no avail, Jiao Ming had no choice but to attribute it to his own dazzle, and then put the matter behind him.

......

The next day, there were five people, Binglian, Jiao Ming, Evan and two maids, Luohua and the 'black pearl'. During the small talk on the road, Evan easily obtained the position of tour guide, and at the same time, Jiao Ming also learned that this dark-skinned beauty named Dieda was not simple, and she actually knew thirty languages, but unfortunately she had no magical talent.

"In the winter, a library was built in the High School of Magic, which contained many codex notes from the high-ringed magicians, but they were written in their native languages. Speaking of this, Evan smiled slightly, pulled Dieda, and continued: "In order to dig up this treasure, I took a lot of effort to buy her. ”

Binglian praised Evan for his good deal, but Jiao Ming noticed that Dieda seemed to be a little shy because she was being pulled by Evan, and suddenly felt inexplicably unhappy and secretly scolded Evan for his little white face.

Jiao Ming remembered the entrustment of the ice lotus, and secretly observed the drainage system and road design of this blue python city according to some simple urban planning knowledge, and discovered the division of the city area by the way.

At the top of the list are the two areas centered on the Magic Tower and the Imperial Palace, which are all stone buildings and even decorated with relief frescoes. The next level is the canal-side business district and the small workshop area adjacent to it, with barely passable houses and pedestrians dressed in occasional patches but clean and tidy. The second is the slum slums, which sprawl out on the northwest side of the city, with dirty streets and numb people, as in the city of Sardinia.

By the way, although there are no shanty towns on the southeast side of Blue Python City, judging from some small traces of demolition, it was also a continuous shack not long ago. Jiao Ming wanted to ask the well-informed Evan about this, but when he saw his tongue fighting the lotus left and right, he had no desire to ask.

After turning two more scenic spots, Jiao Ming, who was bored, suddenly heard a familiar melody, stopped to listen, and there was actually a female voice singing in crocodile language. And this song is the one that Binglian occasionally sang in the summer at the beginning of the crossing.

I turned a corner following the sound, and after walking a few steps, I saw a girl with black hair and black eyes at the corner in the distance, with neat clothes but a miserable face, as if she was singing and begging for food. The reason why Jiao Ming found this woman at a glance is that her voice is one thing, and the more important thing is the difference in appearance and hair color.

Jiao Ming had seen Xu Qin people and merchants, all of whom had black hair and black eyes, but the sailors on the ship that was destroyed during the southward journey were of all kinds of races. As for the kingdom of Dezel, it is dominated by brown-haired, high-eyebrowed, deep-eyed people. The blue python kingdom is divided into two types, the lower urban areas are inhabited by various races, and the middle and upper urban areas are mostly blonde and white-skinned, similar to the Nordic race on the earth.

So this girl with black hair and black eyes is like an East Asian on the streets of a European country, and she is very conspicuous. Looking at the kindness, coupled with the crocodile leading the local dialect, and then being kind, Jiao Ming wanted to step forward to ask about the situation, but his sleeve was pulled, and he turned his head to see Luohua looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Sir, are you lost?"

"Look over there. Jiao Ming pointed to the past. Luohua turned her gaze and instantly spotted the girl in the crowd, and then exclaimed 'ah'.

"Let's take a look. Jiao Ming stepped up.

"But the young lord's side......" Luohua looked very embarrassed, still pulling Jiao Ming's sleeve, obviously not wanting the team to disperse. But soon Luo Hua didn't have to worry about it, Binglian had already found that the five-person team had lost two, and returned to find it. Seeing the two of them pulling and pulling, they raised their eyebrows, but they didn't say anything else. Jiao Ming had no choice but to point to the past again and explain everything with facts. Ice Lotus was also instantly attracted by the song and the black-haired figure, and then led everyone over.

The rest was no surprise. The girl's name was Nonormer, a pure crocodile collar nomenclature, which translates to a lucky flower to be bloomed, and she was seventeen years old. More than 30 years ago, his father was tested for the magic talent of the four-ring qi system in the mage tower of Sardinia City, and came to the south to study at a cost of nearly breaking the bank, but the 'magician's dream' was not so easy to achieve. This man who was both fortunate and unfortunate worked hard for twenty years, barely enough to feed himself and marry and have a daughter in his thirties.

The follow-up was bad luck, Nonormele's parents died of illness in bed, and exhausted their savings for treatment, so they came out to sing and make a living, but I believe that it will not be long before they will go to the next block to sell themselves to make a living.

After listening to the crying, Binglian and Jiao Ming looked at each other, and they both saw pity and doubt in each other's eyes.

"Take it, it's a big deal to keep it under strict control, in case it's true. Jiao Ming whispered.

"It's up to you. Binglian nodded, then revealed her identity, and accepted the poor man in just a few words. Then arrange for Flora to take Nonormele home to pack her things, and then return directly to the castle. After telling Luohua to pay attention to safety, they waved goodbye, and the other four continued shopping.

Returning to the castle in the evening, Evan only went to rest, while Binglian and Jiao Ming asked Luohua about various details about Nonormele, trying to identify the authenticity of his identity, and finally came to the conclusion that he would observe it. After all, if it is true, there will be no flaws, and if it is a spy, it will not be so simple to reveal flaws.

Letting go of this matter, Binglian urged Jiao Ming to ask about the urban design plan. Jiao Ming smiled slightly, and he was in his chest.

......

The next morning, Binglian personally helped Jiao Ming get dressed. Although when he met with Evan at the capital of the Kingdom of Dezel, he was accidentally exposed by Evan when he was staying. But Binglian still smiled as if nothing had happened, telling Jiao Ming that this was the academy's uniform, and that Jiao Ming was already a student of the Advanced Magic Academy. Jiao Ming also used exaggerated acting skills to say that he was very surprised, and then the two of them smiled at each other.

After laughing, the two went out to meet Evan, who was also dressed, and headed for the High School of Magic with their servants for the official opening ceremony.

In fact, yesterday, Jiao Ming had seen from a distance this high-level magic academy, which had only been built for two years and was located on the east side of the Mage Tower. The only impression is that the yard is well greened.

Looking at it from the inside today, the interest has diminished again. There are only five buildings in the courtyard, seven stories high, and four stories next to each other, although they are made of concrete, and they don't look as stupid and black as a stone castle, and at first glance they are only at the level of a township middle school. As for the overall floor area, it is slightly larger than an ordinary high school on Earth, but it is not comparable to the area of the campus of Earth University.

Jiao Ming only glanced at it a few times, then followed the guidance of the servants, and entered the auditorium and sat down with the other people wearing the same robes. When no more students entered the auditorium, Jiao Ming was surprised to find that the total number of students was only in their early two hundreds, so he had to sigh in his heart that he was not bold enough.

Then an old man took the stage and announced the opening of the ceremony.

Jiao Ming has a lot of experience in this kind of thing, and he thought that the opening ceremony in another world would be a little different, but he helplessly found that he couldn't escape the routine of 'speeches by leaders at all levels'. In his drowsiness, he not only missed the speeches of the dean and principal of the Qi Magic Academy, but even the speech of Vice President Sasu was confused. It wasn't until he was pinned on the back waist by Binglian's finger that he saw a back figure of Sasu.

"You're mad at me!" Binglian said in a low voice.

"Get used to it. Jiao Ming replied with a wry smile
