Chapter 28 Further Education and Present Situation
"Congratulations to Brother Yao, it seems that you got a great score!"
On the streets of Yode City, Zhou Yao and Saki Ye had already made peace with Uncle Lei, and it was Lei Ruxue who was talking to Zhou Yao excitedly at this time.
"Hmph, is my time finally coming?" Seeing that Lei Ruxue was happy for him, Zhou Yao was also happy to leak his domineering spirit and talk with the other party.
"It's a great score, and it's probably in the top 10 of the association's records." Warrill recalled, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Well, whatever you say, I taught it, wouldn't it be a loss of face if I didn't have some talent." Uncle Lei laughed heartily, he was sincerely happy with Zhou Yao's score, after all, Zhou Yao can be said to have grown up watching him since he was a child.
It's a pity that Warrill didn't give him face at all, and immediately showed a look of contempt when he heard his words.
"How much is your face worth? How many people will remember you now? Besides, can there be such a thing as magic circuits that can be taught? will put gold on their faces. ”
"Stinky hat, what did you say?! Want to duel too? Uncle Lei rolled up his sleeves and gestured to his fist.
"Don't call me that anymore! Duel will duel who is afraid of whom! Not to be outdone, Warrier's staff thumped on the ground, and he straightened his back.
The appearance of the two blowing their beards and glaring made Zhou Yao and Lei Ruxue laugh, and they were infected by the atmosphere, and the older group who were about to fight also laughed.
Only Sakiya has a calm expression from beginning to end, but looking at the soft curves on her face, she thinks she's in a good mood.
"Although some people say that the A-grade evaluation is a gap between the holder and the ordinary person, it is not so much the holder as the holder of the magic enhancement type. Other types of holders do not have particularly high examples of talent tests, and on the contrary, most of them are mediocre, at least in the association. ”
Talking about this topic again, Warrill looked at Zhou Yao with emotion as he spoke.
"When the boss finds out about you, several factions will definitely rush to get you."
"How many factions?" Zhou Yao asked suspiciously. Could it be that there are still different forces within the association? If you think about it, it's possible that the larger the organization, the more polarized it will be, because power is tempting.
"Well, the association has been around since the old times, and it's normal for there to be factional divisions."
"The current association is generally divided into two major departments, one is the magic department, the other is the magic department, and in the magic department to which I belong, there is also an independent aristocratic faction. Basically, these three factions are competing within the association. ”
"I can understand the aristocratic faction, but what is the difference between the magic department and the spell department?" Well, Zhou Yao has entered the mode of intellectual curiosity again.
"The magic department is a faction that existed when the association was created, and the magic department was established after the popularization of magic, and I don't know the specifics. To summarize it in a popular saying, that is, the demon department looks at talent, the law department looks at hard work, and the aristocracy looks at background, which is basically the truth. ”
"Uh...... It's really unique......" Zhou Yao didn't know what to say.
"Let me add, the biggest difference between the spell department and the magic department is that it is good at the use of spells and spirits, and the practice of the two is simpler than that of magic of the same level, which is also the origin of looking at hard work without looking at talent."
"I see." Zhou Yao nodded understandingly.
To put it bluntly, the magic department is the inheritance of the West, and the magic department is the inheritance of the East. The two sides have different ideas and philosophies, and it is no wonder that they are separated.
"When the time comes, the college you choose to study will represent your side, and even if you don't want to, the label of the academy will be attached to you." Warrill sighed, as if frustrated by the phenomenon.
"Where to study? Central Province? Zhou Yao asked.
"Of course, as we all know, Chuo Province is the center of humanity and the headquarters of the Gosanga. Of course, the five faculties of further study are also established in the central province. Warrill replied as a matter of course.
"What are the Five University Parks!? Never heard of it! Zhou Yao's eyes exuded a strong brilliance and said loudly. He was most interested in this kind of thing with a title.
"If you don't ask this, I will tell you, after all, it is related to your further education, and you must choose a suitable college."
Warrill cleared his throat and recounted the events of the Five University Parks.
"The five colleges of the Central Province are known as the highest institutions of human learning...... Wrong, it is known as the cradle of cultivating elites. ”
"Something is wrong, isn't it?" Zhou Yao keenly grasped Warrier's slip of the tongue and hurriedly asked.
"You can say yes, you can say no, it's too early to talk to you about this, you'll know when you go to the academy, listen to me continue."
"Yes, Master Warrier!" Immediately, Zhou Yao obediently closed his mouth.
"Because you joined the association, there are two academies that you can't enter, so let's talk about the three academies under the association first."
"The first is the wandering sea managed by the magic department, the second is the clock tower managed by the aristocratic faction, and the third is the Taiyi Immortal Dao managed by the magic department."
"What about the other two?" After Zhou Yao understood, he asked the remaining two curiously.
"One is the Atlas Academy under the Gate of Truth, and the other is the Saccharistin under the Templar Church."
After saying a lot of words in a row, Warrill stopped to ease his breath, and let Zhou Yao digest it and make a serious choice.
In Zhou Yao's view, it is not harmful to go to the academy to further study, not only to improve his strength, but more importantly, to expand his horizons, he still has too little understanding of this world now, but in the short time he came to Yode City, he heard a lot of things that he didn't know before, not to mention the central province, which is known as the center of mankind.
There are still many things in this world that he needs to know, such as what happened in the old times that led to the coming of the end times. What is there outside the living area, is it all monsters? You know, the size of the Earth's oceans is several times larger than the continents. There are also things about the Old Continent, is Jin Shin really king in the Old Continent, blah blah, blah blah, too much.
Therefore, for Zhou Yao, going to the academy for further study is a necessary experience, but Warrier's words about the three major factions make him hesitate, because he hates to be involved in the struggle for power. But it was impossible for the academy not to go, so it was impossible to make a decision for a while.
Perhaps seeing why he hesitated, Warrill spoke again.
"The current eleventh district is getting more and more chaotic, and it is estimated that your further study will be delayed for a long time, you can think about it carefully." Zhou Yao nodded in response.
"Is it really that messy? How far has it spread. Hearing about the situation in District 11, Uncle Lei on the side asked with concern.
"It's very chaotic, it's very chaotic, the other urban areas in District 11 are all like ours, I really don't know how long the Dead Apostles have been plotting secretly, almost all the units at the village and town level have fallen, and there is not one survivor in ten. Basically, Yoder City can be called an isolated city. ”
"So serious!?" The few remaining people present were taken aback by the facts.
The residential area of the living area can be divided into three levels, the main city in the center, the secondary cities scattered throughout the district, and the villages and towns with the largest population base scattered around the city.
Warrill said that almost all the villages and towns in District 11 have now fallen, which means that the vast majority of humans have become corpses or ghouls, but how many and how serious the situation is.
"Well, the humans living in villages and towns are basically ordinary people, and even if they face a dead apostle, they may not be able to beat it."
"......" Uncle Lei fell silent, perhaps thinking of the experience before coming to Yode City.
"The Dead Apostles have hatched such a big conspiracy, and they call it jihad, obviously for some great purpose, and there has been no disaster at the city level yet, but it is not sure when it will break out."
"Just this morning, the association suddenly couldn't contact the outside world, not only from the main city, but also from the headquarters. Fortunately, the situation on this side has been reported. ”
"That's really ...... It's become a lonely city, and there's no such thing as a spatial teleportation array? Zhou Yao asked.
"That kind of complicated and resource-intensive thing that only the main city has." Warrill shook his head and sighed.
"In addition to evacuating refugees, the association will send a clean-up team to reconnoiter the movements of the village-level dead apostles and obtain more useful information."
"That's all I can do." Uncle Lei answered.
"Let's hope the HQ's support will come soon, if the Dead Apostles organize a large-scale attack by ghouls, the city of Yoder will probably fall as well."
Warrill looked around at the passers-by who were still living peacefully, and his face became more and more gloomy.
This heavy topic was quickly stopped, because after walking a short distance, Zhou Yao and his party came to the door of a plainly colored double-storey bungalow.
It is the most remote area in the corner of the city walls, with only a few bungalows scattered nearby, and only a few pedestrians can be seen in the wide streets.
"Yes, the environment is clean and there is no noise." While leading the crowd inside, Uncle Lei boasted proudly.
"If I hadn't kept asking people to come and clean up, you'd think it would be as clean as new. Besides, this house was originally ......"
"Stop, stop, it's all your work......"
Uncle Lei and Warrill turned into the living room, while Zhou Yao and Sakuya followed Lei Ruxue to his room.
"Brother Yao, this is your room, do you like it? My room is next door, so you can play with me at any time. Lei Ruxue stood at the door, pointed to Zhou Yao and the two who had already walked into the room, and said.
"Anytime?" Zhou Yao asked with a narrow expression.
"Casual ...... Just know to bully me. Lei Ruxue stuck out her tongue and trotted away. Only Zhou Yao and Sakiya were left in the room.
"Well, sure enough, it's more comfortable than the broken plank at home." Lying on the new bed with his head back, Zhou Yao commented.
"The master can call me at any time if he has something." Sakiya bowed and disappeared into thin air.
"I also want to talk to me, mainly to discuss the matter of the notebook, well, forget it, see if my reward is good."
As he spoke, Zhou Yao connected the spell and opened the information panel.
