Chapter 3 Academia
Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and the airship stopped and went and added batches of new wizard apprentices one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and in these three months, in addition to eating, Kenan has been staying in his cabin to study the encyclopedia, although he can't do it by heart, but the basic information written in the book Kenan has mastered all the basic information, but there are still some specific data that I can't remember well, but this doesn't hurt, by reading the encyclopedia Kenan now has a more intuitive understanding of some basic common sense of the wizarding continent, and he is no longer confused, and Kenan believes that he should be able to pass the first test of his mentor at his current level.
Just as Kenan was silently reciting the encyclopedia in the cabin, the radio on the airship sounded again, "Lilith Hut Wizarding Academy is about to arrive, please take your belongings and wait on the deck of the airship." ”
After hearing the notice, Kenan slowly closed the encyclopedia, put it away with him, packed up his belongings, and followed the many apprentices to the deck of the airship.
Coming to the deck of the airship, the strong winds caused by the flight did not appear, and the edge of the deck was shrouded in a transparent light mask, occasionally emitting bursts of ripple-like ripples that spread out in all directions, Kenan touched it with his hand What seemed to be a soft glass-like touch, smooth and flat, with good toughness, and the fingers would return to their original shape when they were released.
"Is it something like an isolation barrier or shield?" Kenan guessed.
"Look," exclaimed from among the apprentices, and Kenan followed the crowd's gaze, and at the end of the horizon slowly emerged a huge city, with towering bluestone walls, clean stone streets, towering towers, and winding aqueducts that looked especially spectacular against the slowly sinking sunset.
What is even more shocking is that not far from the city stands an overturned mountain, the top of the mountain is upside down on the earth, and the bottom of the mountain is originally cut into a huge platform, on top of which stands a huge castle, not so much a castle as a huge city in the sky, the castle itself is not much smaller than the city next to it, and there are twelve towering wizard towers on the periphery of the castle.
"Look, this is the headquarters of Lilith's Hut Academy, Lilith's Secret Realm. An apprentice said excitedly.
The airship descended slowly, landing on a square dedicated to mooring airships, and the protective barrier on the deck flickered before disappearing, and the wizard apprentices walked towards the castle in a neat procession led by Wizard Grimm.
Coming to the door of the castle, Wizard Grimm patted the huge bronze knocker, "Open the door Miguel, it's me, Green, I'm back with a new apprentice." ”
As soon as Green's voice fell, a relief-like face on the bronze gate came to life, "Oh, it's Wizard Grimm, and the new kids, I'm the tower spirit of this castle, you can call me Mr. Miguel, if you get lost, you can ask for help from the stone statues in the castle, I hope you can have a good life in Lilith's hut." With that, the bronze gate slowly opened, allowing the new apprentices to enter the castle.
After entering the castle, Wizard Grimm led the apprentices into a relatively large hall, in the hall stood a witch with beige wavy curls wearing a lilac wizard's robe, the witch's wizard's robe seemed to have been specially modified, the deep V-shaped neckline from time to time revealed a white greasy color, and the hem of the wizard's robe also loomed to reveal slender pink legs, tempting people, wanting people to kiss Fangze.
Wizard Grimm frowned, "It's Wizard Lilina, are you this year's freshman mentor?"
The wizard named Lilina smiled charmingly, "Of course, if I hadn't completed this year's research mission, I wouldn't have taken over this troublesome job, let's start quickly, I still have an experiment to do." ”
Wizard Grimm shrugged his shoulders and pulled out a stack of forms from his pocket, "This is the information for this new group of apprentices, there are three more apprentices who have been booked by Master Lane, this is the formality." Well, that's all three," he said, pointing to Kenan in the crowd and a pair of slightly gothic twin sisters in vintage black dresses and black short cloth travel boots, hugging the unknown puppet.
For this pair of sisters with a peculiar painting style, even Kennan, a pseudo-house like Kennan who has been in the airship for three months, has heard a little. The twins are the daughter of the lord of the city of Thalia in the Western Isles, and the elder sister Vivian with long brown hair and light blue eyes, while the younger sister Arya has long silver-white hair and red and blue eyes. Although there is a slight difference in appearance, the obvious cold temperament of the two is indeed surprisingly consistent.
"Tsk, they are all the most qualified, I happened to lack an apprentice recently, how about leaving me one?" Wizard Lilina licked her lips.
"Don't even think about it, this is predestined by Master Lane, and you know about him, do you want to face Lord Lane's anger?" Wizard Grimm was a little angry, this was the opportunity he had won so hard in exchange for Master Lane's help, how could he allow someone to be destroyed when he was closest to success.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it, it's really a stingy ghost, this is the freshman benefit of the three of you, and the rest of Master Ryan will tell you personally, let's go, don't delay the old lady's time." With that, Lilina Witch casually pulled out three pockets from the table next to her and threw them at Kenan and the others.
Kenan reached out and took it, putting it away without looking closely, and followed in the footsteps of Wizard Grimm to the other end of the hall.
Seeing a few people walking away, Wizard Lilina turned her face with a little regret and showed a smile, "Listen to the freshmen, I am your freshman mentor Wizard Lilina, you can call me Mentor Lilina, I don't have too many requirements here, the only thing you have to do is to be obedient, if anyone causes me trouble, I will hang him on the flagpole of the castle, do you hear clearly?"
Not to mention the freshman apprentices who succumbed to the obscenity of Wizard Lilina, Kenan, Vivien, and Arya were led by Wizard Grimm through a complex and winding hallway, past hall after hall of unknown function, and finally to a wooden door.
Wizard Grimm turned around and stood still, "You stand here and don't move, this belongs to the mentor area, in order to prevent lost apprentices from accidentally breaking in, so a lot of witchcraft traps have been added here, although it will not be fatal, but it will definitely suffer a lot, I don't think you will want to use your own body to experience the power of witchcraft traps." ”
Kenan and the twin sisters nodded hurriedly and said that they would definitely stay where they were and would definitely not make trouble for Wizard Grimm.
Wizard Grimm nodded in satisfaction, turned and stepped into the wooden door.
Kennan turned his head to look at Vivian and Sister Arya, and found that the other party just looked at each other and didn't seem to have the will to communicate with him, so he dismissed the idea of accosting, although Lori is very cute, tsundere and iceberg are also cute, but it is a headache to move to reality, since the other party has no intention of getting acquainted, then there is no need to stick a hot face to a cold ass. So Kennan leaned over slightly, and after politely greeting him, he turned his head to look at the paintings on both sides of the hallway.
The castle's dimly lit corridors are hung at intervals with paintings that resemble oil paintings, which are similar to oil paintings in Kenan's mind anyway, and the pictures are mainly in a realistic style, but the content is mostly about various ferocious and strange beasts, a small number of ghosts and demons, and occasionally one or two portraits of humans. But most of them were dressed in wizards' cloaks, with hoods on their heads, and at least two-thirds of their faces were shaded by the hoods, and only the angle of the lips could tell the portraits of indifference or haughtyness, and Kenan said that he could not understand the effect of such a portrait with a completely indistinguishable face.
