Volume 1 Chapter 34 The Bell Rings
The bell rang suddenly, and everyone present was caught off guard.
How long has it been since this bell has been in use? five years, or ten years? At least this class of third-level students has never heard this bronze bell ring.
Xinghe was also a little surprised, he was one of the vice presidents of the academy, and he should be notified when it came to ringing the bronze bell.
But the bell rang so suddenly, and he had no idea what was happening.
His form immediately disappeared into the ring, and few could see exactly how he had left—at least not among the students present.
This bronze bell was placed in the square of the academy when the academy was established, and it is said that it was personally given by Xing Zhuqing, the 17th emperor of the Star Emperor Kingdom who established the Star Emperor Royal Academy, at the opening ceremony of the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
The bell was used to summon the students among the students, and once the bell was ringing, all the students who heard the bell had to arrive at the square within ten minutes to participate in the assembly.
The students of the third class and the first class in the fighting arena were almost stunned when they heard this bell, and it took a while for someone to remember the meaning of this bell, so they immediately beckoned the surrounding students to rush to the square of the academy.
Liu Fangqin also quickly remembered the meaning of this bell, after all, he had not heard this bell ring since he had been teaching at the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
He immediately beckoned the students who were watching the excitement around him and went to the academy square together.
Ren Tianxiang had been helped up by Ren Tianqing at this time, and under Xinghe's treatment, his injuries recovered quickly, and in such a short period of time now, there was nothing else unusual in his whole body except for some weak legs.
Lingluo also walked to their side at this time, reminding them to hurry to the square, so the three of them immediately rushed to the square of the academy.
On the way, Ren Tianxiang also heard Lingluo talk about the bronze bell.
As we all know, when the Star Emperor Royal Academy was first established, the academy only recruited the children of nobles. At that time, the Star Emperor only unified the Southern Continent, and at most it only had a piece of land near the North Continent near today's Hongyi City, which could be regarded as a bridgehead for the Star Emperor to attack the Northern Continent.
At that time, the aristocracy was almost all real power nobles, and the troops under their hands were not like the hereditary nobles of today, who only had a very small number of personal guards, and when the empire launched a war, a large part of the army was sent by the nobles.
At that time, the children of the nobles were automatically counted as imperial soldiers, and once the war came, the children of the nobles in the academy had to immediately change their identities and form the unique "academy army" of the Star Emperor State.
In fact, the emergence of the academy army greatly strengthened the military strength of the Star Emperor during the period of unifying the Northern Continent.
The children of the nobles who will lead the army in the future have gone to the battlefield during the academy and have cultivated battlefield experience.
It's just that later, because after the academy army went to the battlefield, the casualties of the nobles' children were too large, resulting in many nobles being extinct, and under the requirements of the forefront of the national aristocracy, the Star Emperor had to cancel the establishment of the academy army.
This bronze bell was given by Emperor Xingzhuqing to the Star Emperor Royal Academy as a gift for issuing the assembly order.
After all these years, this bronze bell has been kept in a special way, and it is still as good as new.
Now that the Star Emperor Kingdom is located in the southern continent of the Dragon God Continent, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the border is garrisoned by powerful northeast and northwest group armies, and the establishment of the academy army has disappeared from the annals of history a long time ago.
And this bronze bell, as an emergency convening function, has been retained by the successive deans of the Star Emperor Royal Academy, until now, all the students of the Star Emperor Royal Academy heard this bell ringing, and they must gather in the square at night.
As many people say, this bell has not been rung for a long time. The Star Emperor Royal Academy is deep in the hinterland of the empire, and there is almost no major incident, so naturally no one will ring the bronze bell.
But today, the bronze bell rang, and the sudden ringing caught everyone off guard.
Who was the person who rang the bronze bell? Not Vice President Xinghe, but the other two vice presidents? But if it was the other two vice presidents, how could Vice President Xinghe not know about it?
The two brothers and sisters of the Ren family and Lingluo walked on the way to the square, and the latter had been guessing who would ring the bell, after all, this matter was a bit unusual, after so many years, who would ring the bell for something.
Ren Tianxiang asked if it could be the dean of the Star Emperor Royal Academy, after all, Lingluo had ruled out the three vice deans, and the only person who was qualified to ring the bell was the dean of the Star Emperor Royal Academy. However, Lingluo soon denied the possibility proposed by Ren Tianxiang.
The dean of the Star Emperor Royal Academy is now the uncle of the Emperor of the Star Emperor State, His Royal Highness Xingbei, the Prince of the Empire, in addition to serving as the president of the Star Emperor Royal Academy, he also took the position of the Lord of the Star Emperor Kingdom Killing Star Hall Heavenly Palace.
Because of the busy affairs of the Killing Star Palace, His Royal Highness usually focuses on the affairs of the Heavenly Palace, and has not returned to the Star Emperor Royal Academy for more than ten years.
If he had returned, how could it be that the three vice presidents had not received any news?
Lingluo first ruled out the possibility that he was the dean of the Star Emperor Royal Academy, in her opinion, this dean named Xingbei would definitely not return to the school without idleness, and specially rang the bronze bell in the academy that had not been ringed for many years.
As for the others, Ren Tianxiang couldn't think of more possible people, after all, he came to the Star Emperor Royal Academy like this...... In one class, there is still a lot I don't know about the Star Emperor Royal Academy, and God knows if there are any seven directors and eight elders besides a few vice presidents.
And Lingluo couldn't guess who would ring the bronze bell in addition to the dean and several other vice presidents, and it stands to reason that there are only a few people who are qualified to ring the bronze bell.
Of course, they are only guessing here, and all speculation is not valid until they see who rings the bronze bell.
It's just that Ren Tianxiang can't walk too fast because of his weak legs, although the square and the dueling arena are not far away, but there is nothing to do along the way, Ren Tianxiang asked about Lingluo.
However, although the speed of the three of them was not fast, the dueling arena and the square were too close, and they didn't actually talk about anything meaningful, and they had already arrived at the area of their third class in the square.
At this time, the square was already crowded, almost the entire students and teachers of the Star Emperor Royal Academy had already arrived here, and the rest of the people who didn't come were already on their way.
The thirty class teachers of the three classes in the six grades of the academy have all arrived at the square, and they are now orderly greeting the students of their classes to form a team.
Soon, the students of the thirty classes lined up thirty phalanxes in the square, which looked orderly.
Ren Tianxiang also saw Xuanyuan Liuli when they came, and she happened to come from the teaching building. She stood in the front of all the phalanxes, she was a first-level student, and she was also a first-level student in the first-level class with the strongest comprehensive combat power.
Xuanyuan Liuli also saw them when she turned around, and while the head teacher was not paying attention, she also quietly greeted the three of them, and then made a gesture of calmness, signaling them not to panic because the bronze bell suddenly rang.
Of course, Ren Tianxiang would not panic, after all, he had just entered the Star Emperor Royal Academy to study, and he didn't have any feelings about the long ringing of the big bell.
Ren Tianqing will not panic, her optimistic character, Ren Tianxiang estimates that she may not panic when she encounters anything.
However, Lingluo's little face looked a little serious, and it seemed that he was a little worried about the reason why the bell rang.
Under Liu Fangqin's greeting, the three of them quickly entered the phalanx of the third level and one class, quietly waiting for what would happen next.
