The surrounding trees are getting taller and taller, at least a few hundred years old.

Occasionally, a few beast howls came from the depths of the forest, and they quickly disappeared, and Lei Luo, who was walking alone, was not afraid of the unfamiliar environment, and took out the bauhinia badge in his hand to play with it.

Metal badges, redbuds come to life.

The strange thing is that after this metal badge was acquired, there was no trace of coldness, and I didn't know what material it was made of.

The Natural Academy of Sciences of the Duchy of Glan, also known as the Royal Institute of Science of the Duchy of Glan, is generally a place where only a very small number of nobles in the Duchy of Glan go to study.

The so-called magician is the profession formed by these nobles after graduating from the academy.

However, mages were only the name of commoners, and out of fear of unknown powers, the nobles preferred to call themselves scholars, like the archmage who burned him in front of the Cathedral of Light in Aurora hundreds of years ago, claiming to be a scholar of the study of cosmic celestial bodies.

According to Antonio's Evolutionary Mysteries, scholars complete the initiation stage in major academies, and after graduation assessments, they decide whether they can obtain a degree certificate from a natural scientist based on their grades, and then they are Upanishads scholars, transcendent scholars, and members of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Generally speaking, obtaining a Royal Fellowship degree from various countries is the lifelong pursuit of all scholars, and it is at the forefront of human exploration of natural knowledge.

As for the pioneers, there are only three births in human history, and the birth of each pioneer will open up a new field of knowledge research for mankind, serve as a regular reference for thousands of academic branches, and bring wisdom and enlightenment to countless future generations of scholars.

In the eyes of scholars, these three pioneers are almost equivalent to "gods", belong to legendary beings, and are held with the highest respect, and their scholarship has even broken through the realm and is admired by scholars from other academies.

However, the conditions for becoming a scholar are extremely demanding.

In this era, the vast majority of civilians did not even have the opportunity to read, and could not even write their names, so they could only sign contracts by handprint, and the most important thing for ordinary people was to follow the priest to pray to the god of light, and they never thought of learning such a noble thing.

And if you want to become a student of the natural sciences of the principality, except for a few like Lei Luo, who try to enter the academy through the contribution badge, the vast majority of students must pass the basic assessment of the major before enrolling.

In this way, only those nobles who have the inheritance of family knowledge will learn knowledge.

As for the rich businessmen?

Merchants preferred to go to the church and donate gold coins to the church in exchange for a noble title, which was used to make social connections for themselves and earn more gold, and it was rare to hear of anyone who would go to study at the Academy of Natural Sciences.

After all, according to traditional etiquette, even the succession to the throne of the major principalities needs to be recognized by the pope of the Cathedral of Light in Aurora, so that those so-called royal academicians are far less noble and holy in the eyes of ordinary people.

It is also for this reason that in the minds of ordinary people, magicians are equivalent to nobles who learn traditional knowledge, elegant, rich, erudite, powerful, and mysterious.

With all kinds of thoughts, Lei Luo put away the Bauhinia badge and took out the star core necklace to observe it carefully.

After this winter, Lei Luo has become familiar with the function of this star core necklace, and at the moment there is no one around, Lei Luo plays with it.

Discovery: Species of the subfamily Conifoliaceae. ”

Relo tried to distinguish the dirt beneath his feet.

No valuable substances were found. ”

After playing for a while, Lei Luo didn't get all the information that his father said before he died, and analyzed the beast with the blood of the Warcraft, so he got tired of playing and put the necklace back away.

It was getting dark.

The dusk of the forest comes earlier than outside, the temperature drops quickly, and for the inexperienced, the forest at night is very dangerous, and the shadows in the distance are full of canopies, as if the whole forest has come to life, and the eerie devil's minions are in the dark, trying to devour the lonely traveler.

Tightening his fur coat, Lei Luo stopped, took out the improvised tent from the wooden box behind him, and chewed on the dried meat while fetching branches and hay.

"What is this!"

Suddenly, a black strange insect crawled out of the dead leaves, startling Lei Luo.

The black monster insect was the size of a palm, and the edge of the black carapace shone with a few pale green fluorescent tentacles, as if to warn Lei Luo, who disappeared into the dense forest at an extremely fast speed for a brief moment of Lei Luo's surprise.

Coming back to his senses, Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, I have often heard my father talk about some strange things in the Demon Eagle Forest, unheard of strange insects are sometimes even more dangerous than those monsters, although this strange insect does not know what kind it is, but it seems that it is not ferocious, and it escaped after Lei Luo turned over the dead leaves.

It's a pity that the strange insect escaped too fast, and I didn't have time to distinguish it with the star core necklace.

There was no time to delay, and Relo continued to get busy.

After collecting enough firewood and falling leaves, he took out the flint and flint, lit the flame, and the temperature increased significantly, Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief, took out the animal repellent medicine and sprinkled some around the tent, looking up, the sky was dark and oppressive, and only the last trace of the sunset afterglow could be seen shining on the canopy of the trees.

Dada......

At this moment, there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and for a moment Ray even thought it was his own delusion.

Lei Luo often heard his father say that some man-eating trees in the depths of the Demon Eagle Forest can even imitate the sound of a baby, attracting humans to visit and take the opportunity to prey on humans, just thinking about it is terrifying.

"There's someone up ahead!"

Lei Luo raised the torch nervously, and only after hearing the voice of a rough man did he breathe a sigh of relief, even if he was a robber, he really had nothing to rob on himself.

Under Lei Luo's gaze, four knights in metal armor escorted a carriage slowly approaching.

The knights, tall and tall, stopped beside Relo.

A pair of sharp eyes appeared under the metal helmet of the leading knight, looking at Lei Luo condescendingly, and after looking around to make sure that there was no danger of ambush, he turned to the carriage lane behind him: "Young Master Orn, it's getting dark, let's rest around here." ”

A tender white palm lifted the curtain of the carriage, and it was a noble young master of the same age as Lei Luo, looking at Lei Luo with a little curiosity.

"Where are you? Where are you going?"

Curious eyes away from these well-equipped knights, Lei Luo looked at the noble young master of his age, and saluted slightly: "I am from the small town of Onyx Lake, my name is Lei Luo, and I plan to go to St. Granburg, and I will rest here temporarily after dark. ”

From the lifted curtains, Lei Luo could see the soft spar light and exquisite decoration in the carriage, and he was envious from the bottom of his heart.

"You're going to St. Granburg too? You call me Orn, I'm from the town of Walso in the south of the principality, I'm a scholar who studies the laws of nature, and I'm going to rush to St. Granburg's Natural Academy to sign up, hehe, we're just stopping by, I can take you for a ride tomorrow." ”

This aristocratic young master was very easy to deal with, and he didn't discriminate because of Lei Luo's civilian status, so he turned his head to the knight guard in front of him and said, "Then let's rest here tonight." ”

"Good!"

Only then did the four knights dismount, take off their helmets, and reveal their true faces.

In addition to the three sturdy men, there was also a woman in her twenties, carrying a bow and arrows behind her, and after taking off the bow and arrows lightly, she and the three male knights set up a tent by the fire beside Lei Luo.
