In this magical world, wizards often refer to the word 'snowman' with different meanings depending on the context.

For example, when venturing in the mountains and wilderness, the snowman referred to by the wizards was a tall, sturdy sapient creature with a thick white coat and a certain amount of magical ability - theoretically this kind of snowman only lived in the depths of the Himalayas - but because of its fierce style, it was often used by the old people to scare young wizards who were just starting out, so that they should be vigilant not to be pulled off the head by the snowman.

And when it comes to the Oriental island country, when it comes to snowmen, the wizards there often talk about another kind of spirit, the Snow Maiden. It is a beautiful appearance, tall body, and long light blue hair, often living deep in the mountains, adept at manipulating wind and snow, and their favorite thing to do is to lure young men into the snowy mountains, and then kiss them and take their spirit.

Another example is at First University, after the snow, the snowmen that everyone mentions on campus are those snow puppets with a piece of talisman paper in their stomachs, walking and swaying, and the snow foam on their bodies is still falling with snowflakes.

Compared to its distant cousin, this 'snowman' is clearly far inferior in both ability and intelligence.

But salted fish also have times when they turn over, not to mention a snow golem born in the wizarding world.

This kind of snowman, in a special time, a certain environment, after the training of magic, will give birth to a special creature that surpasses the ordinary snow puppet, but still maintains the appearance of the snowman - based on their identical appearance and completely different essence, wizards simply named this creature 'real snowman' to distinguish the ordinary snow golem's 'pseudo-snowman'.

The most essential difference between authentic and fake snowmen is their independence.

"The real snowman is actually an elemental being. ”

"Although they can exist apart from wizards and ice, these snowmen still hate heat and the sun just like their muddy counterparts - only slightly more resistant to heat than the 'pseudo-snowmen'. Not too much, but when the sun comes out, they still have a chance to find a shady corner to hide. ”

"Of course, if they do appear, they won't be looking for a shady corner in the school. Entrusted to the school to protect the blessing of the great array, this natural but elf will instinctively stay away from the school and escape to the world outside the school walls. ”

"Maybe it's around the cold pool deep in the Silent Forest, maybe they're going to be the servants of some ice cockroach, or maybe they're just hiding in the freezer of a cold drink shop in Beta...... In short, a real snowman doesn't stay stupidly at school, expecting mercy from wizards. ”

"If they do stay in school, the most likely thing is that they will be dragged to the lab by some curious wizard. ”

"You don't have to die, but you don't have to live so freely. ”

Listening to Nicholas's gushing explanations, the young public scholarship student was greatly interested. Suddenly, he sniffed and looked up at the chubby, drifting snowman who had walked slowly past the two of them.

Perhaps influenced by Nicholas's introduction to the 'True Snowman' just now, Zheng Qing always felt that the fat snowman who was gradually moving away was full of excitement.

Of course, it is more likely that these are just his delusions.

As Nicholas mentioned before, the conditions for the formation of a real snowman are very demanding - from the specific time, the special environment, the special materials, to the magic level and skill of the maker, etc., etc., etc., every link is full of coincidences and luck - if someone in the school really hits the lucky point and turns into a 'real snowman', then he should buy the big lotto.

Seeing that the topic of talkative repeaters came to an end, the young public-funded student took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"Well, it's not too early, so I won't talk to you. Zheng Qing waved his hand happily, intending to say goodbye to Nicholas: "You should go to the review questions...... By the way, why haven't you stayed in the library now? Liu Feifei has given you a holiday?"

As he spoke, he stopped leaving, a narrow smile on his face.

I don't know since when, the chief student of the first year of Jiuyou College has served as the homework tutor for this super old student who has repeated the grade twice - including recess, self-study in the morning and evening, after the holidays, etc., but whenever he has a little free time, Nicholas will be dragged to the library by Liu Feifei to do the questions, whether it is windy or rainy, rain or shine.

Originally, it was limited to material discussions, and the two would avoid everyone's attention a little, but since the relationship between the two was clarified, Liu Feifei became more and more aggressive, and many times she even directly arranged the place for the two to eat in the small square outside the library, so that Nicholas could listen to her reading the key points of the exam in the history of magic while eating.

The wizards in dormitory 403 had privately discussed that if it weren't for the restrictions of the school's rules and regulations, Nicholas might not even have the time to stay in the dormitory and sleep peacefully.

The so-called God rewards hard work, and Liu Feifei's hard work has not been wasted.

In the early mid-term assessment, Nicholas's overall score ranking has reached the upper level of the middle of the class - considering that the midterm professors are arranged for the in-class exams, and the requirements are not high, this score is a little wet, but in any case, as long as Nicholas maintains this state, he will definitely be able to take off the big hat of repeaters this year.

After hearing the young public-funded student's ridiculous words, Nicholas's face immediately turned a little red.

"No, I didn't say no..."He stuttered for a long time, and finally confessed: "I just came out to find a few snowflakes...... Liz loves star-shaped pine needle snowflakes, and when she was a child, every time it snowed for the first time, her mother would always find her the most beautiful snowflake, which she kept with a little trick and made it into a Christmas gift. ”

"Now the task has fallen on my head. ”

Zheng Qing listened to his explanation, and the smile on his face had disappeared without a trace—he regretted a little that he had brought up the topic. Although he didn't know much, through all kinds of news, he still vaguely knew that Nicholas's mother died in an accident, leaving only the talented Nicholas and a sick sister.

Liz is his sister's name.

For a variety of reasons, the matter was kept secret—perhaps because Nicholas's mother was merely a trickster, perhaps because it was about the death of a classmate's closest relative—in short, it was not appropriate to be a topic of conversation on most occasions.

Just like now.
