Chapter 101: Preparations Before Departure 1
Chapter 101 Preparation before departure 1
A week passed in a flash, and during this period, some classmates came to Carl and asked if he would accept anyone, but Carl could only helplessly spread his hands, he was just a small team member. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On Friday afternoon, Virginia put away her task list.
"Hand in your badges as well. Virginia Mentor said.
Carl took off the golden crown school emblem on his chest, put it in his file bag and handed it in together, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the academy doing with it?"
Others couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.
"The research department designed a rescue function according to the resonance phenomenon, and the college collected the school emblem uniformly and renovated it. Virginia replied, "We'll find out when you get it back next Monday." ”
Carl nodded in understanding, presumably a move made by the academy to reduce the casualty rate.
After school, Carl went to the girls' dormitory again.
"Hello. Karl said to Mana, the caretaker of the girls' dormitory, "I've come to talk to Alexia about the Trials mission. ”
"Let's go straight up. "She told me. ”
Carl nodded and walked up the stairs.
Go up to the fifth floor and push the door in.
Alexia sat on the couch, holding a bag of food, squinting her eyes and showing a happy expression like a kitten.
"What are you eating?" said Karl, seated across from Alexia.
"Peach steamed buns. The girl said with a smile as she took one out of the food bag and took a bite.
Carl covered his face helplessly: "This is your dinner?"
"What's the problem?" asked Alexia slurred as she chewed.
"No problem, it's just a little sad to think that I haven't eaten dinner yet. ”
Alexia clutched the bag vigilantly: "This won't be given to you." ”
The look like a little squirrel that guards food made Carl laugh, but he didn't expect Alexia to have such a girlish side.
Karl took out a folded piece of letter from his pocket and sat down across from Alexia: "I'll tell you about the content and brief analysis of the mission." ”
"Hmm. Alexia listened as she ate.
"Assist the elves in investigating the phenomenon of the different space that appears in the forest, difficulty AA, the number of people is limited to 4.
Some of the forests in the center of the Elven Forest have shown an abnormal withering phenomenon, and the elves will feel extremely uncomfortable after entering, and seek someone with knowledge in this area to solve this problem.
So, there are two solutions to this problem. ”
Karl pressed the file and looked at Alexia.
"Hmm. The girl nodded her little head, "The first one is to directly solve the space problem, and the other is to solve the problem of elves' discomfort." ”
"The reason why the elves concluded that this was a spatial problem and not just a plant-type disease was that they had encountered creatures that were not native to the elven forest, but there was no report of a foreign body nest in the mission document, it may be just a simple spatial staggering phenomenon, and the ecological environment on the other side affected this side, which is the biggest possibility. ”
"If that's all there is, the difficulty of the mission shouldn't be AA, right?" Alexia said curiously.
"First of all, it would be good to be able to enter the Elven Forest, and secondly, to gain the trust of the elves, otherwise they will definitely not be able to complete the task if they do not cooperate. Karl Dao.
Alexia frowned, "This is the elf asking for help from humans, right?"
"No, this task is very simple at first glance, not so much asking for help, but an effort between the two races to seek to restore relations, but the elves are more unfriendly to humans. Carl explains, "The difficulty of AA is how we develop a good friendship with the elves. ”
That is, a diplomat is needed not so much as a professional master, and of course it is better to have both.
Yarlin College is the first university in the empire, and the students in it represent the future of the empire, especially the No.1 in it, and the status of this identity is actually not low.
Alexia snorted a little unpleasantly, she didn't like dealing with such complicated relationships.
"But don't relax, it's not uncommon in history for missions to be more difficult than the academy expects, especially this kind of unknown exploratory mission. "Maybe the incident itself is difficult to deal with, don't let your guard down." ”
"It's for the best. Alexia straightened up, "Prepare for the worst in everything." ”
"Be optimistic and act. Karl added the next sentence.
A smile appeared at the corner of the girl's mouth, and then she pursed her lips: "How are you preparing over there?"
"I've read a lot of books about common spatial phenomena and some information on small planes that often descend or ascend to the main plane. Carl handed Alexia a slip, "I also went to the Academy's Equipment Department to apply for some special items, but you need to get them with the quest scroll." It should be able to be used later, you see. ”
Alexia unfolded and looked at the dense application form on it, and couldn't help but say, "Do you need so many things?"
Carl's form even includes a single tent, a sleeping bag, a compass needle, a telescope, and other messy tools for survival in the wild.
"General tools, one for each person, some special, I will list them separately, as long as I take what I need, taking into account the circumstances that may be separated or need to act alone. Karl shrugged, "I know most of the stuff in there probably won't be needed, but it's always good to be prepared." ”
Instead of refuting him, Alexia added something more to the table.
"You also say I write too much. Carl couldn't help but complain, "Then you still add something to it." ”
"Hmph. ”
After seeing Alexia put the application away, Karl asked, "How do we get there? How do we get into the Elven Forest?"
Alexia replied, "Tomorrow you and I go to the airport to buy a ticket, fly directly to Tahamat, the capital of Padre, the chaotic realm bordering the elves, and then enter the elven forest. As for the issue of entering the Elven Forest, I have already gone to the Deputy Dean to get the power of attorney. ”
The general problem had been confirmed, and Karl discussed the course of action and some details with Alexia for a long time.
"Don't you have a long-range attack?" asked Karl.
He'd seen Alexia's striking dual-sword stance before, but he'd never seen her use any other weapon.
Instead, Broad said she had tried other swords for a while, but there were still no crossbows.
Alexia shook her head: "The damage of the crossbow is too low, it is too far from my melee combat, and the bow is the same reason, I haven't found a strong bow that can be used with full strength, and my bow skills are average." ”
The power of the crossbow is fixed according to the equipment itself, and it can be used as a good means of output at the bronze level, but at the silver level, the effect starts to weaken.
After chatting for a while, Carl said goodbye to Alexia.
............
......
Back to the dorm.
Grant was alone today.
"Boss, what about the two of them?" Karl asked curiously.
Normally, it's Crichens because he often goes to the library to borrow books to read in the dorm room (Carl's habit is to squat in the library reading room), and the second most frequent in the dorm is Broad, because he often sorts through the gossip he gets, and it's rare for Grant to be alone in the dorm.
"The second and third children went to the library to check the information. Grant said.
"Forget about Krichens. Karl was speechless, "Brod rarely goes to the library, does he?"
"I don't know, you can wait for them to come back and ask. Grant rubbed his messy red hair.
"Hmm. ”
Karl sat down in his place in the living room, took out the Complete Geography of the Empire, and began to flip through it.
More than half an hour later, Broad returned first.
As soon as he came back and saw Carl, he pounced.
"What are you doing?" Karl pushed Broad away.
"Fourth!" Broad said with tears in his eyes, "tell me how to get along with girls!"
"Aha?!" Karl looked at him with a confused expression, "What are you asking me for?"
At this time, Crichens also returned, just in time to hear the conversation between the two men.
"Because the third child took the task of accompanying the daughter of the Grand Duke of Trident for two months. Krichens.
"Grand Duke of Trident, Hokia, Grand Duke of the Hidden Sea?" Karl recalled.
"Yes. ”
"How did you take on such a task?" Karl glared at Broad.
"I don't want to. Brod lay on the couch and wept, "My mission is to get a closer look at the creatures of the woodland trolls and take blood samples for a month. ”
Stinky trolls and soft and cute girls, how would a normal person choose?
If the two missions are taken out separately, it is estimated that there may be more trolls, but put them together......
Karl cupped his forehead: "Is this the power of contrast, but what's the use of asking me?"
"I see that you have a good relationship with Her Highness the Twin Swordsman!" Exclaimed Broad, "Do you know what the boys in the class think of you?
"I have a stuffed relationship with a pom-pom. Carl muttered.
It was a complete coincidence between him and Alexia, and if it weren't for the opening test, it probably wouldn't have been related at all.
"It's okay to talk two sentences, but if you talk more than three sentences, she'll get impatient and throw a dueling application......" Broad complained, "Think about it, who can beat her in the first grade?"
No one in the second grade may have beaten her!
But this girl's personality is also bad enough......
Karl wiped the cold sweat from his head: "Why don't you suspect that I don't say a word of nonsense." ”
"Is it possible?" said Brod disdainfully.
Carl coughed lightly and said, "It's useless for you to ask me, I rarely take the initiative to find girls, and the second child should understand my psychology." ”
Criches spread his hands. Most scholar-type mages are like this, usually one minute is more than two minutes, where is the time to take care of the sister?
"And do you think Alexia is comparable to the average girl?" Karl said, covering his face, "or do you think she represents a 'normal' girl?"
After thinking for a long time, Broad said sincerely: "You have worked hard. ”
"Be reasonable. "You should ask the normal-looking girls in your class, ask them what they like, and then go two days in advance, get to know your employer's personality, and then find a coping strategy, that's all I can say." ”
Grant interjected: "Fourth, what did you not do like that?"
Krichens was just about to take out a magazine to look at it, when his hand shook and fell directly to the ground, and he picked it up with a forced smile.
Carl's style of acting is very obvious, if you go to his desk drawer or space ring, you can find tons of plans and analysis copy, when he was in the challenge activity, the third-year Sidney fights, in fact, all Sidney's reactions are within Carl's calculations, the only thing that can't be counted is the opponent's ultimate, but it is also within the tolerance range.
It's almost to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Carl pretended not to hear.
"By the way, what are your tasks, second and elder?" asked Carl.
"Confidential. Grant replied.
"It's not that we don't say, it's a requirement of this task. Krichens added, "After I teamed up with Grant and confirmed the mission, the information came to us, so I only went to look up the information today." ”
"Military operations?" Broad curious.
"Can't say. Grant muffled.
Carl was thoughtful.
On rare occasions, in addition to Tasks 1 and 2, the Academy will sometimes assign Task 3 to some students, which will only give a level of difficulty and no details except for the scope - mostly military, and a few are research, politics, etc.
After a few more small talks, Carl said hello to his three roommates and went to rest.
