Chapter 69: Central University
Coming out of the church, we returned to the car parked near the shopping street, where Mr. Dackon's driver started the car and prepared to take us back to the Valero company's headquarters building. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the car, I persuaded Anne, who was still pondering: "Actually, I am also responsible for Bud's death, as the captain, I was too weak at that time to stop Saoga from attacking Bud, but now it is different, I believe that I must have a way to protect everyone, do you see that I will easily defeat Saoga today? You don't need to blame Bud's death on yourself." ”
"Although you say so, I often think that if I can learn the Holy Healing Technique, Bard really won't die, our journey is very long, maybe there will be some accidents in the future, you are all fighting on the front line, even Emma is working hard, so I also have to work hard and protect you in the rear. Anne said seriously.
"Sister Anne is such a good person who has always thought about everyone!" said Alice next to Anne.
"Okay, don't praise me, I just want to do what I can. Anne began to feel embarrassed again.
We chatted for a while in the car, and soon the car arrived at the foot of the Valero corporate headquarters building.
"Really, an hour has passed, what is Daddy doing?" Alice began to get angry again, and then she asked the driver to turn on the communicator and contact Mr. Dackon.
"I'm sorry, Miss Alice, but Mr. Daken is still on business and has no time to reply to you, but he wants me to tell you that you should go home first, and that he will come back before supper. "After the telegraph was connected to Valero, it was the previous female secretary who politely said to us, but I also heard Mr. Decan's voice in front of the telegraph, and he seemed to be arguing with some people, "Impossible! According to the contract, we can no longer export dragonstone to the Starlight Empire, you are increasing the burden on the miners and..."
"Alas, Daddy really doesn't talk much, he hasn't had time to spend with me, if it weren't for what happened yesterday, he probably would have to work overtime at the company!" Alice said sullenly.
"Mr. Dai Ken is so tired for the benefit of all the employees of the company, and I am sure that he still cares about you. Anne comforted Alice by the side.
"I know that too, but—" Alice stopped talking. "Forget it, let's go back to school, I just thought that there was a book and forgot to take it. Now it's just you and Jean Paul with me. Alice hugged the teddy bear in her arms.
"Uh... Alice, who is Jean Paul?" Anne asked curiously.
"That's it!" Alice held up the teddy bear in her hand, it turned out that it still had a name, "this is a gift from my mommy on my birthday before, she told me that she wants me to cherish Jean Paul, and treat Jean Paul as her when Mommy is not with me, so that I won't be lonely, but now..." Alice lowered her head and stopped talking.
There was silence in the car, and we couldn't think of any words to comfort the girl who had lost her mother and her father, who was often absent from her side, and who had never thought that her mother's words would become a prophecy and make her so lonely now.
"Then let's go, I want to see what the Capital Central University is like?" I said to Alice from the passenger seat.
Alice nodded, looking out the window.
Then I got out of the car and said hello to Harvey and Neil, and our car slowly drove forward together, leaving the lively shopping street, passing through the administrative district of the capital on the way, where the buildings were really eye-opening: the buildings of the administrative district have a majestic bearing and solemn temperament, and I saw many administrative buildings in the car, such as the Senate, The House of Representatives and the Supreme Court, but the building that impressed me the most was the building of the headquarters of the security forces, it was a black building, tall and majestic, and there was a huge sign hanging on it, it was a golden shield, and the shield contained two crossed silver swords. It's a pity that creation makes people, and I'm now a mercenary with no fixed residence, of course, it's not bad, I met two good buddies of Link and Allen, and I have gained a lot of knowledge.
After about 20 minutes of driving, we finally arrived at the Capital Central University, located southwest of Basta. From a distance, this university is many times larger than our security school, the whole school building is high in the middle and low on both sides, and the main and secondary are clear, but after we walked in (the school is not allowed to enter by car, you must walk in after registering your identity), only to find that the architectural style of each area here is very different, each with its own characteristics.
"Our Capital Central University includes many colleges, ordinary small and medium-sized colleges such as the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Agriculture, the School of Law, the College of Race and Society, etc., there are only three large colleges, the School of Magic, the School of Magic Mechanics, and the School of Police Security, and the entire university has nearly 20,000 students... Look, I'm almost there, the history school I'm attending, right in front of you!" Alice said, pointing to a school building in front of you. I looked in the direction of her finger, and the buildings of these historical colleges were really simple and elegant, showing the long cultural heritage of this college everywhere, and it made people feel that after entering, they could go back to that ancient era hundreds of years ago.
But we were about to move on, and when we went to the school building of the School of History, a few fireballs suddenly came out from behind us and flew towards Link and Allen.
Link reacted quickly, dodged a few of them, and pulled out his long sword to extinguish one of the fireballs with a single sword, and nothing happened. However, Alan was a little slower to react, and although he dodged one of the fireballs, he was hit in the back by another flying fireball, which immediately burned off a piece of the fur on his back.
"Wangwang~ It's so hot, it's hot!" "The orcs are the most afraid of fire damage, and Alan grinned in pain at this time, jumping up and down on the spot, with a painful look.
Anne quickly used the "recovery technique" to treat Allen, fortunately, the fireball just now was not very powerful, Allen was only burned off a small piece of fur, a little burned, if it was a normal attack magic, Fei burned his entire back!
While we were scrambling to treat Alan, a group of students appeared from a distance, giggling and laughing, men and women, wearing gray robes and gray triangular pointed hats, about seven or eight people, talking and laughing, approached us.
"I'll just say, that black goblin is not easy to hit..."
"That dog kid barked just now is really funny, it seems that what the textbook says is true, and the orcs are really afraid of fire!"
"Hahaha..."
The unbridled conversation of these people came to my ears from a distance along the wind, it turned out that those fireballs just now were sent by them, it was really a prank, what are you using Link and Allen, the guinea pig for experiments?! I couldn't help but clench my fists in my hands and look at them with an angry face.
The group of guys stopped laughing when they walked up to us, and one of the leaders pursed his lips, held back his laughter, and pretended to be sincere and said to us: "I'm really sorry, everyone, we were practicing magic battle just now, and accidentally a few fireballs missed, and we just flew here and accidentally injured your companions, next time we will definitely pay attention, hehe~"
"Spike, you're going too far now, don't think you're the deputy speaker's son and you're going to be messing around at school!" Alice said as she stepped forward to the cheeky student in charge.
"Yo, isn't this our child prodigy, still like to walk around with a teddy bear in his arms?" Spike said, and everyone around him burst into laughter.
"You guys are so rude!" said Anne, who knew why Alice liked to hold Jean Paul, and her face flushed, for the first time I had seen her move, and it seemed that even Anne, who had always been gentle and considerate, could not help it.
"I'm sorry, pretty Rapunzel, I know we're being rude, so I'm here to apologize, please accept our sincere apologies!" Spike suddenly becomes serious and bows to us exaggeratedly.
"What are you kidding! You did it on purpose! You didn't even wear defensive gear to engage in any magic battles? I don't see a single trace of injury on your body, you are blind to us?!" Emma shouted in annoyance, "Look at burning Ellen's back!"
At this time, although Allen's injuries were healed, a small piece of the fur on his back was still burned off (the "recovery technique" can only treat the injury, not the burned fur together), so now his back is as if he has psoriasis, which is quite ugly.
"Oh, yes, miss, we're close to real combat, so we don't have protective gear, and everyone's skills are very good, so we didn't get hurt, so you're satisfied, right? believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Spike argued, looking like a scoundrel, and at first glance he knew he wasn't a good bird.
"You..." Emma was so angry that she couldn't speak at once, even a fool doesn't believe this kind of rhetoric, there are really few people in the world who are so cheeky, Link and I can't help but want to go up and beat him.
"That's right, so you're such a good student who loves learning and pays attention to practice, why don't you do it, I don't have defensive armor with me, why don't we practice together?" Neil said to Spike with a "sincere" face.
"Who are you? Don't you know that we are students at the Academy of Magic? We are all elites from all over the country, and we are all people who can become A-class magicians after graduation, and you want to fight us in magic?" said a boy behind Spike loudly.
"Oh, I'm just a student at the Salem Provincial Security School, and I'm just here to visit your school. Neil said calmly.
"Why haven't I heard of this school, haha, it's probably a broken school in a small mountain village!"
"Fix him, Spike, let him know how big a gap there is to us, how can a second-rate school student be the opponent of our elite at a first-class university, this blonde boy is too self-conscious!"
Spike's students begin to taunt Neil, and some encourage him to fight Neil.
"Alright then, since you really want to see the world, let's have a friendly match, don't blame me for getting hurt!" Spike said confidently.
"No problem, looking forward to fighting you!" Neil said to Spike.
"Brother Nel, I'm fine, I've encountered worse things than this since I was a child, I'm used to it, let's go to the history academy with Miss Alice to get the materials!" Alan grabbed Neil at this time and whispered to him.
"No, their behavior is really unforgivable, I must teach them a lesson, in my own way!" Neil whispered to Alan at this time, his calm tone was full of anger, and I realized that Neil, who had always been calm and composed, would become a person who was more enthusiastic than us when he encountered this kind of thing...
