Chapter VII: The Obelisk
After Crete attended the noisy freshman party with Dixie today, the sun was about to fall, and the crimson clouds hung beautifully in the sky, and the time was approaching evening.
On the way to the hotel for dinner, Crete and Dixidelia walked together, and the brother and sister chatted happily while he stayed on the sidelines.
I don't know how long, a voice suddenly interrupted Crete's thoughts:
"Crete, what are you thinking?" Delia noticed that he had been in a daze just now, and couldn't help but ask.
In the face of Delia's inquiry, Crete thought for a moment, carefully considered the words, and then replied:
"I'm thinking about the school yard obelisk."
"Obelisk? What is that? Delia was a little puzzled by this.
"It's located on the side of the academy auditorium building, and in that place, the names of all the great magicians who came out of the Ernst Academy are engraved."
"That obelisk is similar in nature to our empire's Catherine Gate of Honor, if you want to be on the list, it is impossible to rely on strength alone, you must make a significant contribution to the country." Dixie added that he also knew about the obelisk thing.
"That's right, the names on the obelisk are all people who have made outstanding contributions to the Illumination Sect or the Holy Alliance." Crete nodded to Dixie.
After hearing this, Delia hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Why don't we go and see where we go before we go to dinner!" ”
"I can tell you're curious about that place." Crete said to her with a smile.
"Of course I'm curious, what about Catherine's Gate of Honor elsewhere." Delia also looked at him, and her pretty little face was full of excitement.
The three of them came to the side of the college auditorium building and looked up at the huge three-edged ancient stone tablet with many neatly arranged white notches.
There are large areas of emerald green grass around the stele. These meadows were specially planted by the Academy to symbolize vitality and hope, and to symbolize the people above them, who had brought life and hope to the Holy Alliance.
At this time, the sun had completely ended, the moon had risen, the stars were listed, and the magic lights in the academy were lit up one after another, but the name on the obelisk was still a little unclear.
Dixie summoned a large ball of light towards the top of the obelisk, and the ball of light emitted light that illuminated the entire obelisk.
Light Magic - Illumination
"The name at the top, isn't it the founder of the academy, Ernst?" Delia asked.
"Yes, he is the first pope of the Illuminati Sect, founded this Ernst Academy, and is a contemporary of the high priest of your Magnolia Empire......" Crete patiently replied.
……
"Huh? How can there be a defect in the sixth column of the fifth row? Delia pointed to the mutilation, curious.
Where Delia was pointing, on top of the large black triangular ancient stone tablet, among the neat rows of white notches, there was an ugly mutilation.
Crete looked at the place and sighed slightly.
"That place, originally named Dale Edward."
"Someone from your family?" Dixie gave him a surprised look.
In the face of Dixie's inquiry, Crete was silent, and after carefully organizing the language, he spoke: "Yes, he is the current patriarch of the Edward family, and he is also ...... My father. ”
Although the language had been carefully organized, Crete couldn't help but pause when he mentioned Dale Edward as his father.
"What!? Your father!? Delia cried out.
"That's right, he was punished very harshly for angering the current Pope, Lord Hayens, and after that day he was deprived of the obelisk engraving."
After saying that, Crete looked up at the ugly mutilation, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
"If it weren't for Lord Fallen Leaf and Cardinal Gilmer, my father would have died a long time ago."
Dixie and Delia were silent.
The atmosphere became a little oppressive.
"Right...... I'm sorry, I don't know. Delia whispered with her head down.
"It's fine." Crete smiled at her and said, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened, "Now that we've seen it all, let's go to dinner together." ”
Upon entering the hotel, Crete first saw Ms. Vivian, and as she was teased by her friends, Crete offered her courtesy.
"Wow, Vivien, is this your student? He's so handsome. Beside Vivian, a beautiful girl with short red hair put her arm around her and said excitedly.
"It's quite handsome, with my sister's rich experience, this little guy will definitely be a handsome guy in the future." A slender girl with long gray hair chimed in, "So you need to do it as soon as possible." ”
Vivien: "......"
Crete perfectly inherited the good genes of his parents, although he is only ten years old this year, he is handsome, and his eyes are rare and clear. As long as it is not deliberate, the first impression is generally not bad.
"Okay Ella, don't tease me." Vivien said to the gray-haired girl, then pushed the red-haired girl who was hugging her and exchanged a few words with Crete.
Returning to Dixie and them, Crete he saw the four brothers in the dormitory in 1986.
Yale, the eldest of the four brothers, said with a big grin: "Hey! Crete, come and eat together. ”
Yale said as he beckoned the waiter to serve a few new dishes.
"Let's go over and eat." Crete said to Dixie and Delia.
"Hmm." Dixie nodded, he was quite familiar with George, who was also in the Magnolia Empire, and his relationship with Yale was not bad.
"Okay!" Delia looked very happy, because she saw that Lin Lei was also there, and looking at his current appearance, he should be fine.
Lin Lei has been cultivating frantically for a month, but she is worried about it.
The three of them sat down at the dinner table and soon started talking with the four brothers, and in the process of chatting, Delia always peeked at Lin Lei from time to time two or three times.
But Lin Lei was indifferent to this, which caused Drinkwater's heart in the Ring of the Dragon.
"Ahh Lin Lei, why can't you understand and understand your Grandpa Delin's good intentions? ”
Lin Lei: "......"
In the process of chatting, everyone accidentally talked about the grade competition.
"There is still more than a month to go, and the first year is over. In the last two months of each year, the entire college has a grade competition. The top three students in each grade can live in the two-story apartment for one year. Yale was the first to say.
"Age Ring?" Lin Lei laughed.
"Haha, I'm definitely going to participate." Renault said confidently.
Yale pouted, "You kid became a first-class magician on the journey from the O'Brien Empire to Ernst Academy. By now, it is estimated that it is not far from a second-level magician. It's just so unfair. ”
George looked at Lin Lei with a smile: "Hey, don't forget Lin Lei, Lin Lei was also a first-level magician when he entered the school, and his cultivation is so crazy, especially in the past month, and his attributes are dual-system magic, I think, his strength should be the strongest in our dormitory, and he is at least in the top three in the grade." ”
"Lin Lei has reached the second level of magician, I heard what Mr. Trey said this afternoon, and the teacher persuaded him to participate in the grade competition, but he refused." Delia said.
"Go to the grade competition, Lin Lei, you must participate, go and ravage them, and give us dormitory 1987 a fight." Yale said immediately.
At this time, the waiter also brought the dishes.
"Eat, eat, I'm not interested in the grade competition." Lin Lei cut off a piece of beef with a knife and fork and put it in his mouth.
Looking at Lin Lei like this, Delia on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, she was originally worried that Lin Lei was coming, but now it seems that he should be fine.
"It's a pity that you don't participate, this grade competition, you have to let others be in the limelight." Yale pouted, "If I had Lin Lei's strength, I would have shown off a long time ago." When the time comes, seduce a few beauties, hey, by the way, Crete, Dixie, are you going to participate in the grade competition? At this point, he looked excited again.
"Go."
"Go."
Crete and Dixie spoke in unison, and then looked at each other in astonishment, and Lin Lei looked at them in surprise.
"This grade competition is a great opportunity to practice, and almost all the elites of the third year will participate, and it is beneficial to improve the proficiency of magic use by competing with others." Dixie drank a glass of green juice, he had reached the realm of a third-level magician shortly after entering the school, and then skipped to the third grade, and now he has been studying in the third year for more than half a year.
"You're probably the youngest contestant in the third grade." Lin Lei said with a smile, which made Yale and others a little surprised.
It seems that the third child is really fine.
"When I was in class before, the teacher mentioned it to me, so I went to participate." Crete cut off a piece of beef with a knife and fork, then glanced at Vivien and said.
"Didn't you, like Lin Lei, refuse Teacher Trey's invitation?" Delia asked curiously.
"I agreed to Teacher Vivian's invitation, oh, she's my water magic teacher, the one just now, and I'm going to participate in the grade competition as a water student." Crete put the cut of beef in his mouth, and when he had chewed it, he asked Delia:
"Are you going to participate?"
"I ...... Me? Forget it. Delia shook her head, "I don't like to fight and kill. ”
"Hmm." Crete cut another piece of beef and put it in his mouth, it tasted so good.
It deserves to be a Walter Hotel.
His father, Dale Edward, won all the championships from grades 1~6 during his studies at Ernst Academy. In short, during his father's time in school, no one could be the first in his field except him.
If the father can do it, then as his son, he can do it himself.
Crete clenched his fists and thought to himself.
The first in the first grade, he was decided.
