8 p.m. London time.

"It's time to stop."

Xia Mingwei slowly raised his eyelids, it was still the train box with orange and yellow warmth, and Anlens, who was sitting opposite, put the book in his hand back on the shelf.

"Arrived?" He rubbed Tianming's acupoint.

"Yes."

Xia Mingwei moved his eyes and looked out the window, and suddenly saw a vast grassland, under the night with stars hanging high, the grassland was swept by the wind, shrouded in a faint halo, like a slowly swaying green ocean, looking farther away, you can see a magnificent mountain range, like giants standing side by side at night.

He looked up in a daze, and saw a medieval-style castle scattered on the plateau above the mountains, and the shadow of the castle looked like a dark fortress from a distance.

The plateau above the mountain range, separated from the grassland at the bottom of the mountain, is suspended every meter by a light blue gate that rises upwards.

Xia Mingwei looked at the thousands of floating doors, and didn't know what the meaning of these doors was, but felt that this scene was quite magical, like a distant scene in a fantasy movie.

"Don't tell me," he paused, "Olibel Lyceum is built on a hill?" ”

"That's right, as you say." Aarons took a sip of orange juice.

"Wait, this is the Chilterns Mountains?" Knowingly, Xia Mingwei leaned closer to the window, his eyes fixed on the mountain where the castle was built.

"Yes, bring your luggage, it's time to get off." Anlens smiled.

"It turns out that you told me the story of the Chilterns Mountains, because the school garden is located on this mountain range." Xia Mingwei was speechless.

"To be exact," Aarons said, draining the orange juice and putting down the bottle, "this is the Chilterns Mountains in the folded space, which has nothing to do with reality, and you can think of it as a replica." ”

Xia Mingwei was too lazy to speak.

Ahrens pulled open the sliding door, and the door frame made a slight "rumble" sound against the ground.

The corridor of the carriage passed by many figures, including Yulier, whom he had seen at the subway station earlier, and Dong Ling, who had just painted a picture for him. When Yuriel walked by, she didn't forget to wave at him; Dong Ling looked at the sketchbook and walked over, her pale white hair swaying gently.

"Please bring your belongings and gather immediately in the grassland below the train." Repeated announcements were heard inside the train.

Anlens got up first, followed by Xia Mingwei, and got off the train through the open door, and immediately the track behind him disappeared with the whole train, which was amazing.

The cool wind carried the grass clippings, Xia Mingwei's hair was blown high, he raised his head, looked up, the thousands of gates floating in the air flashed fluorescent, like a light blue lantern illuminating the grassland and mountains, leading the new students to look at the school park located above the mountain range.

"I was surprised the first time I came." Anlens said lightly.

"First of all, how do we get up?" Shamingway asked.

"You'll find out later." Anlens said, "By the way, I heard that the principal personally picked us up this time, and you are very lucky." ”

"Headmaster?" Shamingway looked around.

The surrounding personnel grouping is very clear, basically an old student with a freshman, a group of two, adding up to a total of more than 60 people on the grassland, which means that the number of freshmen in this session is about 30.

Soon, a figure slowly walked in front of the grassland.

He looked no more than thirteen years old, wearing a black long-tailed suit, with middle-parted brown hair, gray eyes, and immature facial features with a noble temperament.

"This is the headmaster?" Xia Mingwei frowned.

"That's right."

"Say, you've deceived me so many times, are your fraudster sequences almost reaching the fifth order?"

"No, no, no, I really didn't lie to you this time." Anlens shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "The Principal's sequence is 'Countercurrent', and every time he advances, the age of his body will regress a little, and finally after reaching the sixth order, he will become what he is now. ”

"Why don't you say his sequence is 'Detective'?" Xia Mingwei complained, thinking that there was such an outrageous sequence, and the effect could be called rejuvenation.

The gray-eyed boy put his hands behind his back, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Xia Mingwei for two seconds, "Come with me, everyone." ”

As the words fell, he turned around and walked slowly to the first floating door erected in mid-air in front of him, and another door stood every other meter behind him.

The freshmen followed, only to see the headmaster take a key from his sleeve and gently tap on the first floating door.

Bite.

A crisp sound fell.

In an instant, starting with the first floating door, the thousands of floating doors behind were like dominoes that had been overturned, one after the other tilted down at the same angle, and then connected end to end, making a "Titicaca" symphony, forming a staircase leading to the top of the mountain range.

The deep blue fluorescent light dances on it, and it is especially dazzling in the night.

Xia Mingwei grabbed the strap of his backpack and was stunned for two seconds, staring deeply at the road leading to the top of the mountain range,

Only then did he realize that these floating doors erected in mid-air, separated by a distance of one meter, were to facilitate the inclination to form an upward path.

There were bursts of exclamations around,And the sound of small discussions,Many freshmen have never seen this scene,The old students are much calmer in comparison,After all, they have to see this scene when they go back and forth to the school park,It's no wonder。

"This is the path that the former headmaster designed with the inspiration of 'dominoes'," said the gray-eyed boy, "and when you touch the first door, the back doors will tilt one after the other, and then just connect into a path that leads to the top of the mountains, where our school is located." ”

"Isn't it aesthetically pleasing?" Aarence asked with a smile.

"The seventh-order 'designer' sequence ......" Xia Mingwei sighed, "Is it really so perverted?" ”

First is this vast folding space, then the former Mobius Ring track, and finally the countless "domino" floating doors that connect the prairie and the plateau.

He began to believe that the death of the former headmaster "Medel Kadletz" and the mythical carrier "Odin" was not accidental, but the result of real strength.

Under the leadership of the principal, nearly sixty students from the grassland stepped on the floating staircase, step by step to the plateau above the Chiltens Mountains, and walked for nearly ten minutes to finally come to the front of the Oribel Academy, a treacherous and magnificent castle.

"Then," the principal turned his head and said slowly, "next your seniors, I will take you to the dormitory, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock for the entrance ceremony, I hope you will not be late on the first day." ”

After speaking, he walked into the school park first, and Anlens patted Xia Mingwei on the shoulder, "Let's go, I see that you are not lightly sleepy, and if you don't rest, I'm really afraid that you will die suddenly before the entrance ceremony." ”

Silently, Shamingway followed Anlens to the school park, and after a short walk on a cobbleroad road, he crossed a wooden bridge in the middle of the lake and came to the student dormitory.

Looking up, the appearance of the dormitory building does not look much different from that of a regular school.

"This is a dormitory building for first-year students." Anlens smiled, "Your accommodation is room 501, then I'll say goodbye to you here, and Professor Fast will come to pick you up tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I've got it." Xia Mingwei breathed a long sigh of relief, "Never again." With that, he walked into the dormitory building with his backpack on his shoulder.
