Chapter 202: Guests

More than seventy children, large and small, dressed in uniform costumes, differed only in the number of silver tassels on the magician's shawl, and some children were tied only with red ribbons instead of silver tassels. Such a group of children lined up like an army, and the visual impact and spirit performance were not as good as even the army of the Wizards Association.

Standing in front of the queue are two children who are to be praised, Lenny and Charlotte. As the de facto controller of the academy, Lin certainly had to come out and say a first. For example, how well the two children behaved, they were loved and trusted by everyone, and they will also be the pillars of the wizarding world in the future.

Lin didn't know if anyone who listened to these nonsense was as disgusted and disgusted as his past self. But the families of the two children were moved to tears, which was extra eye-catching in a crowd of spectators.

The two children were presented with the first appearance of the president of the Academy, Lord Orange Fruit Eton. In the past year, the old man's focus has been on the puppet of the remote control of the Cadiz district, and it is as if the last residual heat of his life is radiating, and in the recent period, the old man's health has been deteriorating.

But on the rare day of the college's anniversary, the president, with the help of his chief student, Chuck Weiss, stepped forward. However, in Lin's opinion, with the power and scheming of this president, I am afraid that he will not come for the sake of the academy or the children inside, but the large group of people in the audience.

Almost all of the people who received the invitation came. Those who did not receive the invitation letter also came uninvited. On this gratifying day, the atmosphere is so oppressive and strange that everyone is almost out of breath.

Especially in the crowd, there are guards who clear three small open spaces, and the three people standing in the middle are like the center of low pressure, faintly lining up the people around them. One of the women was Lin's old acquaintance, and when we last met, she was still called Mira. The surname Salian was something that I didn't know until later. And now her name is Yulia III, Queen of the Kingdom of Frank.

One was Gruber I, king of the Kingdom of Réunion. The other was Steiner III, king of the kingdom of Zlín. This country is located on the border of the districts of Cadiz and Siga, and it is also the most powerful state in the southwest peninsula of the world. Although it is still not as good as any of the mage's associations, compared to a loose organization like the association, the Zlin Kingdom still has a certain amount of confidence to compete with the association.

In general, the hedonistic or financially minded aristocracy will concentrate in cities with large crowds. The headquarters of the branch of the Wizards' Association gathers a large number of magicians. Their needs will gather a considerable crowd of people, and the crowd will bring money, and money will attract the creature of nobility. But these nobles definitely do not include such people as 'kings' or 'queens'.

The departure of a king or queen from the capital of his or her own country is a big deal, regardless of the reason. And the meeting of kings of different countries is the most important of the great things. And then such a big thing happens on your own turf, and anyone will be nervous.

For President Orange Fruit Eaton, even if the three nations are united, they are not strong enough to threaten the five cities protected by five magic towers, but this refers to the head-on confrontation of the power of the city. And what humans are best at is actually conspiracy, which is exactly what magic towers can't prevent.

And these three countries, the kingdom of Zlin is an old power in the southwest peninsula, the successor king of the Frank kingdom is a member of the strongest, and the kingdom of Reunion is taking advantage of the national territory to include the five cities, as well as the core area of Xijia District, the economic development and scale have become the first of all countries, and even the armament has been continuously strengthened.

It can be said that the movements of the Three Kings who came to Wulian City were enough to affect the national power of the entire Southwest Peninsula. The three kings also attended the anniversary celebration of Orange Fruit EtonHouse College, which was a move that no one expected. As a result, Gaybrash Tripwood, the re-architect of the Tower of the Great Sage, was once again pushed to the forefront.

However, someone who doesn't care about the direction of the forum is not conscious of this aspect. Even the three kings, who were the focus of attention, he thought they were just nobles with great pomp, except for Yulia III. After all, the queen had met herself, and she was quite impressed. But why the other party came, I don't have a clue.

At the end of the praise ceremony, it is time for everyone to be free. The Academy's magic apprentices reunite with their long-lost loved ones, some solve the livelihood problems of the belly at the gathering place of the vendors, and some wander around the academy to show their families where they live.

Basically, there are no restricted areas in the college, but all faculty members are not allowed to enter their private spaces without the permission of their owners. As for the ban in the academy, no apprentice dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

In the corner of the college, the open-air seating of the café is crowded. As the originator of coffee drinks, the café that he opened himself is certainly eye-catching. In particular, this place is a long way away from Wulian City, and it is inconvenient to come and go, so that most of the people have no chance to taste the excellent coffee that is full of praise.

It's just that when people came, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Not for any reason, but because it wasn't the rumored blonde apprentice of a magician who was busy in and out of the academy café today, but the waiters of the biggest cafes in town. For coffee drinkers, they are all familiar faces. But even so, it's time to drink.

For someone, a café will be opened within the academy for convenience, not to make money. It is conceivable that many people will patronize the college today, and the café is bound to become a place for everyone to gather and rest. He was reluctant to let his apprentice look like a waitress, and in addition to facing all kinds of customers, he also tired himself like a dog.

Therefore, I entrusted the industry in the city to let them enter the city one day today. In addition to bringing their own materials and manpower, of course, the money earned also belongs to each other, and Lin only charges them a fixed fee for the space and cleaning. Considering the earning power of the College Night Market, another term that came out of nowhere, but which aptly describes the nature of the market, was readily accepted by these fellow coffee workers.

However, Lin still came to the scene in person, and made a pot of coffee for his own president, the Grand Magician of Orange Fruit Eaton. And the one who was lucky enough to be able to taste someone's craft was the great astrologer Spiller, who is nearly 100 years old. The old man and the president of the district are also old acquaintances, and although the two do not have a good relationship, they also have a lot of cooperation in official affairs.

After taking a sip, the elder exhaled a long breath and said with satisfaction, "This is like drinking coffee, and everyone else's is like rancid water." ”

"Hehe, Lord, you're exaggerating enough. Everyone brews their own coffee, and no one is the best. Lin played the round field, and by the way, he made an apologetic expression to the support staff who were affected by the leader's map cannon. If you have time, you can come to the academy more often, and I will honor you. ”

"No, no." Shaking his hand, Orange Eaton said, "It's too far. I'm going to have to toss and turn for a while when I come here, so how can I come often. It's a pity that you left the neighborhood early in the morning and will go back very late. It's a shame to stagger with my free time. ”

Haha, Lin turned his head to look at the other one, and said by the way: "Master Spiller, long time no see." Seeing your body is safe, in fact, I am very happy. ”

The richly haired master sat on a chair and stroked his chest in a salute. As early as a year ago, Lin announced the issue of the regularity of the calendar. However, the group of astrologers did not act immediately, which means that the progress of the perpetual calendar is still zero.

But that doesn't mean Master Spiller hasn't done anything. He mainly communicates with many astrologers constantly, not only to gain understanding, but also to tell each other how to go and how to do it in the future, instead of smashing everyone's jobs in one go.

In fact, most of the inventions of the livelihood items related to the P language program in 727 were related to astrologers, including the imitation of pocket watches. However, at this stage, everyone can only make a digital surface, like the Orange Fruit EtonHouse Memorial Pocket Watch, which is made into an analogue surface, and no one has yet explored the mystery.

It is precisely because many astrologers have tasted the sweetness of the P language. So they are more active in learning programming languages. And these people became proponents of the revision of the calendar.

Although there are still a few diehards, they would rather guard their astrological one-third of an acre. But for the great astrologer of Spiller, everyone has been given time to transform; At the same time, it also proves that the path of P language is viable, and the rewards are far more than in the past. So don't complain about the birth of a big killer like the perpetual calendar.

However, Spieler came to meet Lin today on the day of the academy celebration, and in addition to congratulating him, of course, he came for a purpose. After listening to the other party's words, Lin said in surprise: "Does the master want my star map program?" ”

"Yes. From the first time you explained mathematics and used astronomical cycles as a demonstration, I was very impressed by the star chart used in the demonstration. The reason why we have not started the compilation of the perpetual calendar these days is that I hope that I can develop a program for star maps to assist us in verification and prediction. But it didn't work out at all. ”

"So you want my star map program?" Lin was a little speechless.

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, the price is negotiable, and we don't want to ask for it for free. ”

This can soothe someone's weak heart a little. Moreover, the reason used by the master is to verify and predict the calendar, that is, only the part of the star system, not the complete map of the stars. This part can be taken from the star map of the star system when the six star alignments were calculated.

On the one hand, to promote the progress of the perpetual calendar, on the other hand, of course, it is also to sell a face to the president of his own family. Master Spiller reappeared, but the person who the president had brought with him himself was bound to have some understanding of what was requested. Maybe they think that the star map is harmless, and it is not a big deal to teach each other privately.

After a brief discussion, the two parties agreed on another time to pay the money and pick up the goods. Master Spiller left satisfied.

And the next meeting was the beginning of trouble for Lin.
