Chapter 56: A Brief Welcome Ceremony
Behind the magnificent Huamen is an even grander auditorium. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng Qing held his breath and looked around.
It's a huge auditorium.
It is difficult to describe it with a specific concept, Zheng Qing can only feel that this auditorium is very large.
The center of the auditorium was empty and there were no buildings.
The iron-gray floor looks sturdy and beautiful, giving you a sense of peace of mind. Criss-crossing silver-white lines are embedded in the floor, interspersed with hollowed-out characters, forming a mysterious and magnificent pattern.
This pattern looked like a formation, Zheng Qing looked at it carefully.
The sky above the auditorium was black, as black as the night sky. Huge clusters of light floated slowly along the mysterious trajectory, bringing gentle starlight to the entire hall. The ethereal fairy sound mixed with it from nowhere sets off the otherworldly atmosphere here.
Hundreds of dark pillars stood around the lobby, each of which contained a lifelike, ferocious beast.
Between the giant columns, a gray stone fence is attached.
On the wall behind the fence, there are occasionally one or two arches with their own characteristics. These arches sit quietly, and the mottled marks on the doors tell of their long history and rich experience.
On the walls between the arches, there are some huge paintings.
Zheng Qing followed the flow of people, turned right at the entrance, strolled through the corridors, and looked at the murals that were intertwined.
They describe the history of wizards.
Most of these murals on the first floor are the history of the wizard's relationship with Bai Ding:
Starting from the wild man who drank blood, the sorcerer sensed heaven and earth and relieved all things;
Later, the world of Bai Ding continued to develop, and the attitude towards wizards was also different:
or panic, avoiding like a snake and scorpion, angry at each other;
or to worship, to worship as a god, and to bow down and worship him;
Or curious, ask and answer, leisurely.
In the back, the wizard is hidden, the vast ups and downs, which makes people sigh and sigh, and in the meantime, a great wizard casts spells to save the common people, fight and kill fierce beasts, resist the great power of nature, and the magnificent history is endless, which makes people fascinated.
After a round trip, the mural disappeared at the top of the staircase leading to the second floor.
Zheng Qing poked his head into the deep stairwell, and a cold aura swept in front of him.
He shuddered and quickly retracted his head.
After visiting the murals, the freshmen stood in a circle and stood in the corridor on the first floor between the pillars. Zheng Qing found that the freshmen of the four colleges had been mixed together at this time, and there was no clear distinction before that.
Only Xiao Xiao and Li Meng were left in the red robe beside him.
The old students of the upper grades appeared in the corridors on the second, third and higher floors at some point. They stood quietly behind the guardrail, looking respectfully into the center of the hall.
"Freshmen, freshmen assemble in the center of the hall. A loud voice rang out in the auditorium.
The tall wizard with silver hair and shawl stood silently in the center of the hall holding his magic book.
A chubby black-robed wizard stood beside him, sweating profusely flipping through his law book, repeating in a loud voice: "Freshmen, freshmen gather in front of me! There is no need to line up according to the academy!
The freshmen hesitated as they walked into the lobby.
The condescending gazes of the old students and the silent gaze of the silver-haired wizard were full of pressure, which made them a little cramped and uneasy.
The large clusters of light at the top of the lobby seemed to sense a mysterious call, converging towards the center along various trajectories.
The light gathered more and more, and the center of the auditorium seemed to be in the middle of day.
The freshmen stood trembling in the daylight.
The entire lobby was silent.
The silver-haired old man spoke slowly:
"You may call me Professor Charles, and in view of the exceptional circumstances that have taken place today, you have been allowed to be exempted from further ceremonies. The commencement ceremony for new students has been postponed. You will be notified by your supervising professor at a later date. You can take a break as soon as possible after a brief tour of the campus. ”
He paused, his gaze sliding over the freshman in front of him, as if waiting for a different opinion.
There was silence in the auditorium, and Zheng Qing felt that several people around him even held their breath.
The old man nodded kindly and continued:
"Now, I would like to make the following requests for your conduct at school. ”
"First of all, all forms of violence are prohibited in schools, both physical and mental. So, you'd better have more ways to solve problems than violent conflicts. No matter who it is, taking out the law book in front of someone means a warning from the school and credits. ”
"Secondly, your boarding school has been arranged, and other life schools will arrange for second-year students to give you corresponding guidance, and later, the old students will take you to learn more about the school. ”
Professor Charles held out his index finger and nodded at the second-floor seniors.
"Finally, you must understand that the beginning of your college career means the beginning of your independent existence. I want everyone to take responsibility for their actions and to uphold the honor of the school, the college, and yourself. The school already knows what happened on the special plane today, and I personally express my high appreciation for the excellent performance of several new students in the cafeteria. ”
As he spoke, Professor Charles's gaze swept over the freshman again, and he paused deliberately.
Zheng Qing felt that Xiao Xiao next to him seemed to be trying to straighten his chest and straighten his expression, but his short size made his efforts a lot dull.
He couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Professor Charles bowed his head slightly and continued to speak slowly:
"For your animal companions, the school has a dedicated space, and I don't want to hear professors or staff complain about their unauthorized trespassing into classrooms, dormitories, or even labs. ”
"Your daily necessities, there are old students to lead you to implement them one by one, and I also don't want new students to be unclear about how to use their identity cards after the start of school. ”
"There is a road in the mountain of books, and there is no end to the sea of learning. ”
"From here, you can start your independent, glorious, and arduous college life!"
After a brief explanation, Professor Charles drifted away, leaving only the chubby wizard to accompany the group of dazed freshmen.
"This Professor Charles looks very powerful. Zheng Qing whispered to Xiao Xiao.
"First Vice President of the Joint Council of Professors of the First University, Vice Dean of Alpha Academy, Grand Wizard Charles. Xiao Xiao frowned and pondered, "But according to the general process, this freshman welcome party should be presided over by one of the two vice principals. ”
"Didn't the curly dog on the plane say that there was something big in the first university recently?" Li Meng waved his hand indifferently: "Maybe those big people are busy with big things." ”
Xiao Xiao smiled thoughtfully.
Zheng Qing raised his head, and the old students on the third or fourth floor around the lobby also left one after another with the departure of Professor Charles. They argued quietly and fiercely, burrowed into the arches in the hallway, and vanished.
Some of the old students on the second floor walked down the stairs to the new students in the lobby. Zheng Qing understands that they should be the 'freshman guides' mentioned by Professor Charles just now.
The freshmen were back in the buzzing noise.
The chubby black-robed wizard flipped through the roster and assigned tasks loudly.
Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao were assigned to an old student with a ponytail.
Li Meng was taken away by a tall girl.
Before leaving, she rubbed Poseidon for a while, and put on a light blue waistcoat for him, which made the originally cute fox look stupid.
After Zheng Qing decided that this girl disappeared from view, he immediately took off the vest on Poseidon's body.
