Chapter 8: Asking Your Mind (7)

Several of the main buildings in the center of the temple – the teaching building, the faculty office tower, and the library – were built under the personal supervision of the first head of the institute, Shizome Fengdi. Originally from the Isle of Mars, he admires the unpretentious and highly functional architecture. As a result, both the towers and the spacious pavilions are constructed of solid dark limestone. High doors, narrow windows, thick stone walls, and unadorned walls make them look more like defensive fortresses than college buildings. The carved bridge connecting these buildings was built during the tenure of the second head of the Academy, Kuroba Fengdi. These beautiful covered bridges are in stark contrast to the austere architecture. The white marble that makes up the bridge is carved with the motifs of the gods, and the arched windows that hold up the roof of the porch also have intricately carved lattices. Looking to the left through the large flowered window, you can see the lake of flames sparkling behind the lush trees. From the right side of the covered bridge, you can see the college's lawns and gardens.

At this time, the paths that divided the lawn and crossed the garden were bustling with people, and the students who had participated in the entrance ceremony were in groups of threes and fives, chatting excitedly with each other and heading to the different parts of the college.

In previous years, after the entrance ceremony, the first person would walk slowly from the garden to the teacher's office tower, and along the way, he would be happy to chat with old or bold new students. But today, to avoid the noisy crowds, he chose to go to the office tower from the covered bridge. As you walk, the edges of the white and purple silk robes sway regularly with your steps, and the "popping" sound of flat leather shoes on the marble floor echoes inside the empty covered bridge.

At the turn of the covered bridge, a few students saw the head of the dyeing institute from a distance. Judging from the emblem on their waists, they are fourth-year veterans, and two of them are often praised by the head of the academy for their excellent grades. The two men thought that the head of the courtyard would stop and talk to them, so they stood there and waited for the head to pass by. In the past, when they met on campus, they would be kindly asked about their life and study. But this time, the head of the Dyeing Institute just smiled and bowed to them, and hurried over.

"When you see the head of the hospital, he is in excellent condition!"

"Isn't it? What like a man in his sixties! ”

"Don't you think he's in extra high spirits today? As the head of the academy, he only had three trials during his tenure, and two of them were still failures, how could he be willing? Well, now that the trial has been opened by the noble lady, he should be very happy! Look, it's windy when you walk! ”

He has always admired students who are capable and courageous. Aren't you that? Join Miss Hades's trial, the head of the academy will definitely take care of you, and a bright future awaits you! ”

"Do you think that a sudden death at a good age and going to the Eternal Forest is a bright future? Then I wish your whole family such a bright future! ”

"What do you say! Don't run, you stop! ”

Several people whispered teasing each other, and ran away on tiptoe.

Messy footsteps and whispers reached Xiu Ran's ears, and he frowned unconsciously. Recalling the faces of the students just now, he recognized one of them.

The kid recommended by Yakujin Island Enxiu Wanyi Temple. I thought he was a manufacturable material, but I didn't expect him to be so frivolous! When he graduates next year, he doesn't want to go back to Medicine God Island! I'm going to send him to the most remote corner of Poseidon Island!

Two corners from the office tower will be there, and Pan Luo should have been waiting there with a list of visitors who have been put together, and Xiu Dye hopes to get that list as soon as possible. He was desperate to find a name on the list, and he didn't want to meet or greet anyone until then. However, today seems to be the day when the gods will test him. He had already seen two old men in white robes at the steps leading to the tower, apparently waiting for him there. A tall, hunchbacked old man with a white beard was the oldest of the spiritual teachers. The other thin, withered old man was the Witch Teacher, the oldest and most qualified teacher in the entire Golden Crow Academy.
