Chapter 180: True Illusion
On one side of the Thorn Vine Garden is a small building about three floors, the whole wall is all covered with Thorn Vine Flowers, the red flowers the size of a bowl make this small building look like a living thing, there are only a few balconies and the main entrance There is no Thorn Vine Flower, a magic array depicted at the door, the pattern is not complicated, it looks like it should be used to limit the growth of the Thorn Vine Flower, and the balcony should also be engraved with the same magic circle.
At this time, on a balcony on the second floor, an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old was standing in it, the old man was wearing a black robe, and the corners were embroidered with silver silk threads with different patterns, making this robe look extraordinarily luxurious, but although wearing such a robe that knew that it was expensive, it would not make people feel any alienation, on the contrary, the old man seemed to have an indescribable sense of affinity, which made him look extraordinarily kind, just like the old man at home.
"Ladies and gentlemen, being able to come here shows that each of you is the elite of our Orpixiu Academy, as the principal of the academy, I am honored because of you!" It seems that because of his age, the old man's strength is obviously a little lacking when he speaks, but it is very magical, obviously the voice is not loud, but it can make all the dozens of students standing in the garden at this time hear it clearly, as if the voice is not in the distance but whispering in his ear,
Obviously, the students loved and respected the principal of the Opixiu Academy very much, and after hearing this, everyone began to clapped their hands hard, except for Lin Xiao.
At this time, Lin Xiao's expression was extremely strange, and Lin Xiao was stunned when this old man appeared. Because he didn't feel any energy on the other party's body, it was like meeting the little girl Xiao Qian of the angel clan a month ago, but even if Lin Xiao was careless, he knew that the other party, as the dean of the Opixiu Academy, could not be an ordinary person who was powerless, so he didn't even think about using the Eye of the Underworld directly, to Lin Xiao's expectation, under the Eye of the Underworld, what Lin Xiao saw was a seed that emitted a faint green light! This made Lin Xiao very puzzled, Lin Xiao's strength was not enough and he could not use the full ability of the Eye of the Underworld, but using this ability, he could easily see the origin of the human race. If it was a normal human, Lin Xiao could see the other party's soul. And if it was an angel, Lin Xiao could see the true body of the other angel, but there was only a seed that had just sprouted in the old man's body, which made Lin Xiao a little puzzled.
After flipping through the library of the Opixiu Academy these days, although the books that can be found are all ordinary goods, but in terms of knowledge alone, Lin Xiao believes that it will definitely not be worse than any ordinary person born and raised in this continent. Not even better than some of the most learned magicians. And when it comes to seeds, Lin Xiao's first thought should be the unique profession of the elf race. It is said that it is a profession that can manipulate nature to transform into beasts, and part of their power comes from plants, so they like to carry seeds with them, but as far as Lin Xiao knows, the headmaster of the Opiathean House is not a druid. It is not even an elf race, it is said that it seems to be a wind magician, Lin Xiao doesn't know why the other party will hide it, but no matter what the reason is, it makes Lin Xiao have a bad feeling.
I didn't know what Lin Xiao was thinking at this time, the dean of the Olympian Academy was still talking there: "Originally, according to the previous practice, the opening of the real illusion was only allowed to enter the top ten colleges in the academy competition, but I think the existence of the real illusion is to cultivate the elite of the academy, in this case, why not cultivate more, you can only enter the tenth, then the eleventh is not the elite?" So I decided to abandon the previous method and use this method of recommendation, so that the excellent tutors in the academy can select the best students among the students, and the total of fifty-three students present is the best students in our academy, and you all have the opportunity to enter the real illusion realm!"
The applause was there, but Lin Xiao felt that everything revealed a taste of conspiracy.
At the beginning, I heard that this real illusion used the method recommended by the academy tutor, Lin Xiao didn't think it was good, and even thought that this method was very good, because it is said that although the real illusion is a treasure trove, there are also certain dangers in it, especially those rare magical beasts, each of which is not good, and even if it can get the top ten nouns just after the end of the big competition, it will definitely not be easy, if someone is really injured because of this, it will inevitably be very dangerous to enter the real illusion, you must know that the magic fighting spirit is powerful, as long as you are injured during the battle, it will not be a minor injury, although it is also because of the cultivation of magic fighting qi to make the body strongerBut in the face of such a reward as being able to enter the real illusion, the students will inevitably have desperate actions, and in the end, they will finally win but be seriously injured, although there will be a period of recuperation after the game, but if they are really seriously injured, how can they be recuperated in a day or two! Therefore, in Lin Xiao's opinion, the academy selected to enter in this civilized way and by the recommended means is definitely much safer than that kind of competition, but this kind of thinking has only lasted until today, because not long ago Lin Xiao discovered a problem, that is, a large part of the fifty people standing in this courtyard are not from the ancient Weisi country!
Although there is not much difference in this world except for some sub-human races such as elven dwarves and the like that are very different from normal humans in appearance, there is not much difference in appearance between people in various countries, but there will be great differences in headdresses, hairstyles and some habits, and although there is not much difference in appearance, but the water and soil of various countries will still be slightly different, so there will still be some differences more or less, which ordinary people may not pay attention to, but Lin Xiao's right eye is like a sophisticated instrument, not to mention the difference in appearance, even if it is different in skeletal muscles and even genes, Li Xiao can distinguish it in a short time, so after a few glances, it was found that at least half of the people in this garden were not from the Kingdom of Gouves!
Lin Xiao didn't have any patriotic feelings as a traverser, and even his body didn't know much about Gu Weis, in fact, the stupid boy named Narul didn't even know the name Gu Weis, but Lin Xiao didn't care about it, but as a famous academy for Gu Weis. The administrators of the Orpitian Academy can't help but care, although they are willing to accept students from other countries, they definitely don't want the foreign students in the academy to profit more than their own students, it is common sense that the hearts of non-our races will be different, and there may be Bethune in saving people, but the academy cultivates the skill of killing, can it cultivate some excellent students to kill their own people? Therefore, even if you think about it on your knees, you will know that for such a good thing as entering the real illusion, the person in power will definitely be able to restrict the number of foreign students, and even if there is, it will definitely limit the number of students, and it will definitely not exceed more than half like now. There is only one such result. Just like Adele's side, these students should have obtained the quota through bribery, after all, this world is different from the earth before Lin Xiao traveled, and studying abroad is not something that ordinary people can do. Those who were able to study abroad were all real aristocrats and wealthy people. In the face of such an opportunity as a real illusion, of course, he will not spare gold coins. Coupled with the fact that the entry requirements were so relaxed this time, of course they wouldn't miss it, but what Lin Xiao was worried about was not these outsiders. What Lin Xiao cares about is the initiator of this event, that is, the old man who is now talking and talking beautifully over there, the apparent headmaster of the Opixiu Academy!
The reason is very simple, such a simple question Lin Xiao can see how the other party, as the head of the first academy, could not think of it, but since he thought of it, why is he still willing to let the treasures of his country serve foreign students? Thinking of the small seed that has just sprouted from the other party's origin, Lin Xiao feels that the taste of conspiracy is even heavier!
"Next, I'll explain this competition to enter the real illusion, I have always thought that the most indispensable thing as a professional is the desire to win, although the real illusion is not much dangerous, although there are some monsters in it, but most of them are low-level monsters, as long as you can form a team with each other, then there will be no problem, so in this entry into the real illusion I have prepared a small game for you, the rules are very simple, I put ten such balls in the environment! There are numbers on each ball, from one to ten, representing the final place in this quiz, that is to say, as long as you can get this ball, you are the top ten winners of this real fantasy world, and if you are lucky enough to find the number one ball directly, then you are the first place in this small competition, and the top ten I will give a certain reward, and if you can get the top three students, you will get a reward for entering my magic tower warehouse to choose a treasure!" As he spoke, the old dean took out a transparent bead about the size of a bull's eye, and the vermilion paint on the bead had a zero number written on it, which did not seem to be an ordinary ornament.
"By the way, this bead is a special set of magic guides left over from ancient things, and it has no special function, but there will be special inductions between the beads, so as long as the two beads are close, the beads will tremble slightly, attracting each other, although the strength is not very large, but it is enough for you to identify the direction of the other beads, so that if any of you are unlucky and find that a bead is number ten, then you can also use this bead to find the location of other beads!" the old dean added.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it sounds like it's fun, but in fact, even idiots can see that this is a death game chasing each other, once the beads are found, they will inevitably be chased by other people who find the beads, and it is useless to get the beads that are not the first three in time, just like what the old dean just said, most people will choose to form a team when entering the illusion, a standard team is five people, and there may be more depending on the situation, even a team of five people needs five beads, so that it is impossible for the two teams to have no beads marked with the first three on the premise of one bead per person, so there are only a few possibilities for the two squads to meet together, either their teammates don't have beads so they need to snatch the ordinary beads in each other's hands, or the five members of the team on their side have ordinary beads, but the other team doesn't have all the beads so they want to grab the ordinary beads on this side, or both sides have collected but they all want to get the beads of the first three special rewards in the opponent's hand! That is to say, as long as you see this bead, then you will be destined to fight.
Lin Xiao deliberately glanced at the academy in the garden, some of them seemed to understand the key to this matter, showing a solemn or struggling expression, as if they were considering whether to spend time looking for that kind of bead to compete for the top ten after entering for a while, or just looking for some natural treasures to be satisfied, and the other part was as naïve as Adele Tessis who was eager to try and didn't notice the danger at all.
"Alright. Next, you can enter the illusion world and complete this adventure that belongs to you!" The old dean suddenly raised his hands, and almost at the same time, the door of the small building opened, and looking in through the door, there was a fog-like thing that would make the main sight, even Lin Xiao couldn't see the things inside, it seemed that the fog-like thing could absorb energy, and the general radar reaction was also blank.
At the same time, some of the academy's tutors began to guide the students below to enter, and the students all showed excited expressions without exception, even Lin Xiao felt a slight sense of anticipation, probably due to the relationship of the god's garbage dump, even if Lin Xiao found out that this thing didn't seem to be right, especially the old dean. But Lin Xiao still didn't have any idea of quitting. In Lin Xiao's opinion, things are in danger at most, it is a trap arranged by those angel clans, as long as he can enter the state of overclocking in time, even if he is in danger, he can completely hide in the garbage dump of the gods. No matter what, you should be able to dodge in time!, so Lin Xiao was a little curious about the development of this matter.
The team soon came to the door of the house. Without hesitation, Lin Xiao walked directly into the door. When passing through the mist-like thing, Lin Xiao felt that there was obviously a cold substance flowing through the surface of his body, as if passing through a curtain made of clear water, if there was substance, but after passing through, he could no longer feel anything unusual.
It was beyond Lin Xiao's expectations. Originally, I thought that after entering this hut, I could enter the so-called real illusion, but what caught Lin Xiao's eyes was a room, and the students who had just entered were all staying in this substance at this time, the room was very large, in addition to the dozen or so students who had just entered, there were also a few mentors who were distributing a small gray bag to the students who came in, Lin Xiao also got one after he came in, and when he opened it, he saw some small things for survival in the wild, a few bottles of potion, a map marked with a dangerous area, a magic signal scroll and a small bottle of salt! It may be due to the fact that the time to enter the real illusion realm is ten days this time, although there will be some small demonic beasts and wild fruits in the illusion to satisfy hunger, but salt is essential! But obviously Lin Xiao doesn't need these things, although the experiment in the vial is processed fine salt, but the filtration is obviously not pure enough, and the color is a little gray and yellow, which does not look pleasing!
Seeing that there was nothing special Lin Xiao directly threw the small package into the Divine Garbage Dump, and the few women who had been following Lin Xiao when they saw Lin Xiao doing this immediately threw the packages in their hands to Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao did not pretend to throw them all directly into the Divine Garbage Dump, which caused some students who were not far away from Lin Xiao to have hot eyes, and even a few of them showed unkind eyes to Lin Xiao, as if they were paying some bad attention, but they were directly ignored by Lin Xiao! Compared with these students, Lin Xiao noticed that on a square platform in front of their team, there were five students standing, and the five of them surrounded the city in a circle, and in the middle of the five people, on a one-foot-square stone platform, there was a metal cake painted with ancient patterns, about the size of a human head, although it looked very ancient, but there was no trace of damage.
I saw that the five people each put one hand on the round cake, and began to stimulate their respective fighting spirit or magic power, about a minute or so later, the original pattern suddenly flashed a bright light, the light flashed, but the five people had disappeared, the sudden change made the few female students who had just come in couldn't help but let out an exclamation, even Lin Xiao was slightly surprised.
Before he came, Lin Xiao thought that this real illusion would be a portal or something, but he didn't expect it to appear in the form of this shape.
Next, Lin Xiao watched it a few times, during which he also used a mental overclocking to observe carefully, and found that when the five people pressed the metal round cake with their hands, they would send their own fighting energy or magic energy to the round cake, and the metal round cake was like a capacitor of magic and fighting energy, after absorbing a certain amount of energy, all the energy was exploded in one go, and five people were directly inhaled into it by using this energy, and the process was very similar to the entrance and exit of the Divine Garbage Dump, the difference was that the entrance and exit of the Divine Garbage Dump did not require Lin Xiao to spend any energy at all, but maintaining the entrance would make Lin Xiao consume a certain amount of mental power slightly, but not to maintain the entrance, but more to control the size of the entrance.
Soon it was Lin Xiao's turn, and it happened that Lin Xiao, Renee, Adele, Tessis and Agana were five people, standing on the square platform at the same time. Another mentor next to him began to tell a few people about some precautions, nothing more than to try to be as steady and slow as possible when transporting their respective powers, not to use any martial arts or magic, and in addition, when entering the illusion, there will be a short period of vertigo feeling, don't be afraid, don't resist or something like that!
After asking Lin Xiao and a few people to understand, he motioned to the five people to press their arms on the original special position of the metal, and then began to transmit energy into it, the energy in Lin Xiao's body was not the fighting energy, fire and magic energy, but the stored resentment, Lin Xiao couldn't be sure if this thing ate resentment, so he didn't dare to make a move easily, but began to carefully penetrate into the round cake through the atomic cells stretched out of his palm to perceive the structure inside, and Agana and Renee were also not stored magic or fighting energy. As a ghost, Agana can use a magical energy similar to the magic of the undead. It is also an energy with a dark attribute that is very similar to resentment, but it is more rough and messy than resentment, so he didn't dare to make a move easily, and the energy in Renee's body has undergone mutations. It also does not belong to the general Dou Qi or Elemental Dou Qi. In this case, I don't dare to use it easily. After all, if something goes wrong, it's not a joke, so Adele and Tessis are tragic! Two people have to bear the weight of five people, in fact, Adele's strength is too low. Although he desperately urged to provide not much fighting energy, so most of it was still Tessis exerting his strength, and as a result, he stood on the stage for ten minutes, making the mentor behind several people look impatient before he barely filled the energy, and then a suction force appeared from in front of the five people, and a feeling of spinning the earth struck, just like the feeling of falling from a high place when dreaming at night, which made people feel nervous for no reason, but this feeling came and went suddenly, and the feeling of fear disappeared before it was born, and it was replaced by another scene in front of the five people!
What appeared in front of a few people was a colorful forest, at this time a few people knew the origin of the name of the so-called real illusion, everything in front of them was simply like the world in a fairy tale, the sky was dark blue, there was no sun but it was not night, but the kind of weather that was gloomy on a snowy day but there were no dark clouds, but a few people did not feel any feeling of grayness, because the whole world was shrouded in a multicolored light, and the source of the light was the surrounding woods, which was an unknown tree, and the trunk and leaves would glow, just like a Christmas tree full of light bulbs, but it's a whole forest of Christmas trees!
"The classmates of Xindao are here to rest!" The tutor who was waiting here for a long time greeted Lin Xiao and the others, Lin Xiao Renee They didn't need to rest, but the two daughters of Tessis and Adele were tired and sweating! Renee and Aganna respectively helped the two girls to the place where the students were waiting, and there were already more than 20 students here who came here first, and at this time they were either talking excitedly or looking at the surrounding wonders with a fascinated face, obviously they all had a stronger curiosity about this real illusion before they came.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the remaining students finally appeared one after another, and after the last three students and two mentors appeared in this world together, this time all fifty-three people had entered this real illusion!
"Hey!" Ignoring the intoxicated expressions of the three academies that had entered the academy that had been shocked by the objects in front of them, a rough academy instructor with a giant sword on his back suddenly let out a strange scream, and the scream like Zhang Fei possessing him immediately suppressed the originally noisy students!
"Little cubs, my name is Caron, and I am the instructor of the academy stationed in the illusion this time, and now I will tell you what you will do next!" the big man said loudly, pinching his waist, " For the next ten days, you will all have to live in the illusion, you can choose to go out and explore the depths of the illusion, you can also move around this camp, this is your profession I don't care, but after ten days you have to come back here for me, because at this time in ten days we will activate the key of illusion again to send you out, if you don't have time to catch up with me, I won't wait for any of you, you know?"
Obviously, the big man is alarmist, although the academy has limited the time limit of ten days, but if someone does not rush back within ten days, I believe that some mentors will definitely be sent to find it.
"Teacher, what if we don't have time to come back within ten days of an accident?" one of the academies couldn't help but ask.
"yes, what if we get lost?"
"yes, yes, yes, if we don't have time, won't we be able to get out?"
"Shut up for me!" The big man yelled again, and many of the students were blocked, but the big man turned a blind eye and said, "It's your business if you can't get back, if you're afraid of getting lost, then don't go far!"
"How so!"
"It's just..."
Most of the people who can come in are the children of some nobles, of course, they will not be easily frightened by the ferocity shown by the big man, at this time, they all showed dissatisfied looks, looking at this trend, it seems that they are ready to jointly complain about this big man!
"Okay, okay!" Just when the students showed a chaotic state again and the big man was about to shout again, the female tutor who had just asked the students to rest next to him spoke up: "Everyone be quiet for a while, listen to me!"
"Tutor Caron was joking with you just now, why is it so serious, didn't the academy give each of you a small pocket before you came in? In addition to some emergency potions in everyone's pocket, there is also a magic scroll, that scroll is a signal scroll, after unfolding, it will shoot a magic bullet into the sky, if you encounter danger, you will unfold the scroll, and then a few of our mentors will naturally go to you to bring you back, but you must remember that there is only one scroll, once it is unfolded, it means that your fantasy journey is over, and after bringing you back here, we will not give you another scroll and will not let you leave the camp, you can only wait here until ten days later, and go back with everyoneDo you understand?" the female teacher said seriously.
"Understood!" replied most of the students this time.
"Excellent! I just forgot to introduce, here are classmates who know me, some classmates don't, my name is Tina, I am a water magician, if you are injured in the forest and send out a magic bullet, I will quickly rush over to treat the injured classmates, this mentor is called Arrow, is an assassin, has superb chasing skills, as long as you can send out magic bullets, he can use the fastest speed to find the classmates in need of help, as for Karon, I believe you should have guessed, he is a warrior and one level higher than me and Arrow, is an eighth-level warrior, enough to deal with any danger you encounterI hope to get a satisfactory harvest in the next 10 days!"
Next, the female magician told everyone some things that need to be paid attention to in this illusion, but it is a cliché, nothing more than some poisonous insects and poisonous snakes unique to the illusion, most of the students who can occasionally enter here are people with some adventure experience, although they don't know much about the creatures in this real illusion, but the basic response is similar to the outside world, so everyone doesn't care too much, just wait for those mentors to give orders to move freely. (To be continued......)
