Chapter 20: The Academy, the Blade
A meatloaf bulged, and Chen Ran rubbed his head with a pale face. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.
Falling from a height is too scary.
Shaking his dizzy head, Chen Ran began to look at the woods.
Lost......
Just now, I was only concerned about sprinting, and I didn't pay attention to which direction I was heading, but fortunately, this was still within the scope of Galaxy Academy.
The layout of Galaxy Academy is strange, almost half of the territory is woods, lakesides, mountains, etc. And the buildings are scattered around these places.
Therefore, you are not afraid to get lost, and you can always see people when you walk in one direction.
About an hour later, Chen Ran finally walked out of the woods.
It only took ten minutes when I came in, and it was obvious that this place was not where Riptide Lake was located.
A massive, ancient wooden building built on a raised mound appeared before him.
The surface of the wooden building is covered with green vines, and only a humble name tag stands at the door.
Galaxy Academy!
Book!
Chen Ran trembled with excitement.
Reading is his biggest hobby, and when he was in Zhuhai Town, every time he picked up a broken book, he was excited for several days, so what about a academy?
Chen Ran suddenly found himself stunned by happiness, and his legs unconsciously stepped over and stepped on the wooden stairs.
The academy is so old that every step makes the wooden staircase creak underfoot. Chen Ran was worried that this staircase would be broken by himself, and Chen Ran was not very skilled in light work, and he didn't dare to use it in such a place, so he stood on tiptoe carefully.
The moment he walked up the stairs and stepped into this ancient all-wooden academy, a black-robed old man with a short stature and thick reading glasses stopped in front of Chen Ran with an expressionless face.
"You're a freshman? Why don't you go to class? ”
Glancing at the academy uniform on Chen Ran's body, the black-robed old man said sternly: "Since you have entered the academy, you should study hard!" How many classes did you have in the first grade? ”
Chen Ran scratched his head: "I don't know what class I have, but today is Teacher Poison Wolf's class, but the class has already ended." ”
The black-robed old man's face softened: "This is the academy, and you are not allowed to enter at will." In order to enter, you must apply for a reading card, and in addition, new students only have the right to borrow books in the library, and cannot rent them out. ”
Chen Ran nodded like a chicken: "Got it." ”
"You are not allowed to bring any sharp objects that could cut through the book, the book is sacred!"
"Got it."
"There can be no defacement of books, books are sacred!"
"Got it."
"Don't make loud noises, the academy is also sacred!"
"Got it."
“……”
The old man in the black robe said a series of messy and almost all-encompassing rules and regulations several times, and after the assessment, he satisfactorily let go of Chen Ran, who had been listening for more than an hour and was already sluggish, and applied for a reading card.
In fact, many rules and regulations Chen Ran can't remember, and they are all very complicated things.
However, after listening to it a few times, he discovered the secret of the seowon system.
This series of institutions can only be described as ornate, and there is no more apt word for it.
It stands to reason that even the slightest detail, such as sweaty hands when reading a book, should be washed and dried immediately - this kind of outrageously harsh assessment is impossible to pass.
But in fact, there are only two ways to answer.
Books are sacred! The seowon is also sacred!
If you want to pass the assessment, you have to treat these two directions as if they were the codes promulgated after the establishment of the Supreme Council of Mankind.
After getting the reading card, Chen Ran entered this quaint academy.
"This Silver Professor has a lot to say." Chen Ran recovered from his sluggish state, rubbed his ears, and couldn't help muttering.
The teacher's name was marked on the card, Silver.
Position: Professor
It's a strange name, and it's a strange person.
The first floor of the academy was just an empty place, and there was nothing left except for a sign.
The sign is eye-catching, right next to the staircase to the second floor, and reads:
Ground floor: offices
2nd Floor: History (Free)
3rd Floor: Materials (Free)
4th Floor: Combat Skills (Contribution Points: Reading: 100/hr.) Rental: 1,000/day)
5th Floor: Thoughts (Contribution Points: Reading: 1000/h.) Rental: 10,000 / day)
6th Floor: (Contribution Points: Reading: 10,000/hour.) Rental is not allowed. )
Contribution points?
Chen Ran remembered.
"Sister Dye said that if I'm fine, I can go to the task hall to take some simple tasks to earn some contribution points, and I'll wait and see."
Muttering in his heart, Chen Ran stepped onto the second floor.
"Good...... That's a lot of books! It's amazing! ”
Chen Ran, who walked up the creaky stairs to the second floor, gasped and was completely shocked.
The second floor of the entire academy is full of rows of bookshelves, all the way to the top that cannot be reached without moving wooden ladders, and the thick dark brown bookshelves are all neatly filled with books of various colors, which is completely a sea of books.
All the shelves and most of the books were clearly very old, some of them had faded covers, but they were all very clean and there was not a trace of dust.
The atmosphere inexplicably became a little solemn.
At the same time, Chen Ran also inexplicably admired Professor Yin.
So many books have been cleaned by him, there is no dust at all, and there is no damage at all.
This is a book lover!
Thinking about the dirty books at home, Chen Ran suddenly felt ashamed.
Reluctantly glanced at the collection of books on the second floor, Chen Ran continued to walk towards the third floor.
There are a lot fewer books on the third floor than on the second floor.
If the second floor is a sea of books. Then the bookshelves on the three floors are like mountains of books one after another, and the classification is very clear.
However, there are basically only three categories, with three different entrances.
Demon beasts, human races, star spirits.
Chen Ran thought for a moment and walked towards the entrance to the demon beast information.
Whether it is the problem of his own body or the relationship between the life source force, he is inseparable from the demon beast, which is the most important thing for him at present.
There are also many classifications in the books of monsters, birds, beasts, scales, and zergs.
However, three books are placed separately at the end, wrapped in gold leaf.
Chen Ran walked over and picked up one of them.
Not only is the cover covered in gold leaf, but even the pages are made of a strangely soft metal, apparently to prevent anyone from breaking the book.
Chen Ran opened it and saw that the entire book only introduced one kind of demon beast.
Lord of the Blades!
This is also the title of the book.
Introduction: Insect emperor-level demon beast, the master of the three major demon beasts of the earth, its power is shocking, and its blade can cut everything in the world.
Status: Survival.
"Lord of the Blades? That sounds amazing. ”
Chen Ran flipped through it curiously, but this book had very little introduction to the Lord of Blades. For example, the detailed details such as abilities, weaknesses and so on are question marks, and the rest are some picture books.
It is a human-like monster covered in tough.
The Blade Lord's head was triangular, with a pair of blood-red eyes, and just looking at the pages made Chen Ran feel as if he was caught in the waves of a sea of blood.
It has six limbs, and two lower limbs are as if they were standing upright, very long, sharp, much like a knife.
In addition, the middle and upper limbs are basically four strange knives, and there is a sharp spike on the edge of the arm and lower limbs, which seems to be in the range of its attack from any angle.
It's literally for fighting, for killing!
What shocked Chen Ran the most was that although the environment on each page of the album was different, everything else was exactly the same......
Unscathed Lord of Blades, mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood! xh118
