Chapter 5 Prologue to the Welcome Party
A few minutes later, everyone disembarked from the boat, but at this moment, suddenly a "wow!" sound came, and one of the students couldn't stand it anymore, so he spit it out and splashed on the body of the person next to him.
This time, it immediately triggered a chain reaction, and a series of vomiting sounds sounded, and the students who were originally just a little nauseous, but not so much also vomited, and the scene suddenly turned extremely terrifying, even if Leo didn't get seasick, he felt like he was about to vomit.
But I don't know why, the elves who also endured the severe turbulence were not affected in any way, but they all had unparalleled cleanliness, the professionally trained elf guards were okay, and the high-status young man and the two elders, listening to the sound of vomiting, immediately felt numb all over their bodies, and almost fainted on the spot.
The scene was so disgusting that it affected Ravinton's image, but Laurinda was clearly prepared, and quickly pulled a milky white bead out of her mouth, and then recited the incantation.
Intense fluctuations of mana rippled rapidly, and immediately after, a faint glow appeared on the platform of Crassus, and everything that was unbearable was quickly enveloped, and finally the light flashed and vanished, not even the smell remained.
"People who feel uncomfortable tell me to stay where I am, close my eyes and take a deep breath. Lorinda said in a loud voice, jumped off the boat, and walked towards an academy employee waiting below.
A few minutes later, when the students who were unwell gradually recovered, and Lorinda had finished communicating with the employee, she made arrangements: "Next, I will take you around the college to let you get acquainted with this place first, and then there will be a short welcome ceremony, and the students with the best scores in the joint entrance examination will be ready to speak on behalf of the new students." ”
"The best student in the joint entrance examination? That must be him. ”
For a moment, almost everyone's gaze. It's all gathered on Leo. And those girls who have joined the "Minahir Support Group" are even more eager to try, full of anticipation. Only Leo smiled bitterly in his heart, in this way, I am afraid it will be more and more difficult to be obscure.
In this way, Gregot stayed last, while Laurinda walked first, and the students walked along the paved stone streets with curious eyes. to give people a feeling of spring outing. However, Leo found that all the sun elves did not follow, but left with the previous responder.
…………
The overall scale of Ravinton is not small, and it took a full hour to barely complete the tour of the main areas.
Leo suddenly found that the overall structure of this place is very similar to that of later universities, including teaching areas, experimental areas, accommodation areas, canteen areas, reserve areas, etc.
One of the things that impressed him the most was the building known as the Great Library of Rafe.
It's hard to imagine. How many books were stored in such a huge library, which was 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, and had 10 floors, was such that even Lolinda could not answer the question.
But there is a point. However, Lolinda specifically pointed out that students are strictly restricted from borrowing books, and if their abilities do not meet the requirements, they will rashly learn knowledge and magic beyond their own scope. Or to engage in some experiments that are simply uncontrollable, which is likely to lead to quite strict consequences. On the top floor of the library, it is said that there is a considerable collection of legendary magic and related precious papers. But Lorinda doesn't know if she'll ever have the opportunity to read in her life.
As the tour continued, Leo gradually learned that the magic academy of this world was not just an educational institution. Cultivating an education mage is only one of its many existential meanings, and it is more like a complete and huge organization, or interest group.
You must know that counting the previous years, all the students here did not exceed 700, but the number of employees reached an astonishing 2,000 or more, of course, these employees were not all mages and educators, but a large part of them were other professions working for the academy.
In addition to a complete education system, the Ravington School of Magic also has a rich alchemy workshop, which exports a large number of potions, scrolls, and magical equipment to the outside world every year. It has a formed and powerful War Mage Corps, with more than 200 standing personnel. This kind of army, composed of all kinds of mages, including battle mages, can defeat ordinary armies several times or even dozens of times lighter, and the damage it can cause when attacking from the sky is even more immeasurable.
However, what surprised Leo the most was that the Rivington School of Magic still had the spatial coordinates of a secondary plane, and the area where its portal was located could naturally only be viewed from a distance, and it was absolutely impossible to get close.
According to Lolinda, the overall structure of this secondary matter plane is very different from the main matter plane of Gaia, except for an ugly intelligent creature called the Nebru Spider. Although primordial magic has been born, the upper limit of the plane's power is only level 6, and several primordial gods are also firmly confined to the plane, and they can't even rise to the kingdom of God, and their strength is not even as good as the sacred realm of the main material plane.
However, in order to effectively control this plane, the strong man of Raventon did not destroy all these gods, but left one who was willing to cooperate, so as to completely control this sub-plane that produced many precious magical items, and made huge profits from it every year.
Judging from Leo's worldview, values, and outlook on life, this kind of enslavement of other planes is quite inhumane, but he has to choose to understand that this is not only an era of primitive accumulation, but also an era of bloody conquest of races and planes, if you don't do this, then you can only wait to be replaced by others.
After straightening out this, Leo, who had been arranged to follow Larinda, asked softly, "Professor, do we, students, have a chance to enter this secondary plane?"
Lorinda glanced at Leo with some disagreement and asked, "What?
Leo nodded naturally and said, "Yes, it should be a very good life experience to see other planes." ”
Hearing such an answer, Laurinda thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Very good idea, rest assured, the Nebru plane is the exclusive plane of the academy, you will definitely have the opportunity to go in and have a look, but the cost of maintaining the teleportation is very high, can you afford the travel expenses at that time." It's up to you. ”
Seeing Leo asking, and Lorinda patiently answered, Sanders, who was next to him, couldn't hold it back, and said, "Professor, that ...... What does the Nebru Spider Demon look like?"
"It's spiders, all kinds of spiders. Lorinda showed a look of disgust and continued: "That creature is very strange, although they are a race, they are quite diverse, and the largest adult can reach five meters. The smallest is only a few tens of centimeters, can you imagine, but they can produce offspring between them. ”
Seeing that the little fat man was becoming more and more curious, Laolinda hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I want to know that we will go to the library to check the materials by ourselves in the future, we don't have much time, now everyone turns around, the next stop, the auditorium!"
More than ten minutes later, in the elegant and solemn auditorium in the center of Reventon. One by one, the students found their seats and sat down.
Leo sat next to Sanders, thinking about what to say on stage, and dealing with the questions of several girls in the support group.
At the same time, backstage in the auditorium, Rubersky, assistant to the dean, warmly embraced Lorinda and Gregort. Then he asked, "Hey, how do you two feel about going out this time?"
Lorinda glanced at the extremely nervous Gregor, and decided to let him go for the time being, so she shook her head and said, "It's not good." It's better to do research in the academy. Is the Dean here?"
Rubersky replied: "Yes, just came back, went to sleep." When the welcome ceremony begins, I'll send someone to wake him up. ”
Hearing that the dean had returned, Lorinda secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed very ungracefully: "Who do you think can wake up the headmaster? Hahaha, it's a hibernating snow bear at all." ”
Gregort, who had never had a chance to interject, finally caught it and joked, "Have you ever seen a snow bear of this size?"
"Of course I mean the snow bear!" Laurinda replied very seriously, and immediately laughed with the two colleagues.
In their spare time, making jokes about some of the strange problems of the Dean's Excellency is their usual pastime.
At this time, a slightly sharp voice sounded behind the three of them: "Yo, the young people are chatting happily, shouldn't they share happy things with an old guy like me?"
The person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere was none other than Lord Fran, the dean of the Ravinton School of Magic. However, the three of them didn't worry much, and Lolinda pretended to be angry and asked, "Dean, how can you eavesdrop on people's conversations?"
"Eavesdropping?" Fran held up a finger and shook it gently, "No, no, no, I just happened to be passing by." Well, baby snow bears, it's very cute. ”
The three of them rolled their eyes at the same time, expressing their contempt for this unmistakable lie, as well as the brazen contempt of His Excellency the Dean.
"Alright, little ones, let's start the welcome party quickly, my old man has something to do in a while. Dean Fran said unconsciously. Although he is strong and has a high level of knowledge, he has no shelf, and he usually likes to joke with his subordinates, and the three in front of him can be said to be the best of the new generation, so they are very familiar with each other, and they are naturally unscrupulous.
"No problem, will you come with us to the front desk now?" asked Rubersky.
Unexpectedly, Fran simply shook his head, directly dragged a chair and sat up, and said leisurely: "You go first, I'll sleep for a while, and you can call me when it's my turn to speak." ”
"Uh...... All right. Rubersky knew the other party's character very well, and could only reluctantly agree.
…………
Now that the dean has arrived, and his subordinates have reported that the rest of the staff have arrived, the welcome meeting will begin soon.
Rubersky came out of the backstage and said in a magically amplified, infectious voice: "Dear students, I am Rubersky, assistant to the dean, with the rank of assistant professor, and I am honored to be the host of this welcome party. Seeing so many energetic faces, I can feel that Roventon has been injected with new blood, and it can be said that every time I hold a new student information session, it is the most exciting day for me. ”
Seeing that the people below did not react to his speech, Rubersky did not feel the slightest loss, but smiled and continued, "You may think that I am a little insensitive, but in fact, I am telling the truth. Think about it, so many of you students have to pay so much gold every year, and there is a penalty mechanism for making mistakes, how helpful this is for the financial revenue of the college. In this way, His Excellency the Dean will be happy, and I will naturally have a good life, and of course I will feel very excited. ”
The witty and humorous words immediately aroused laughter in the hall, which not only caught the attention of many young people at once, but also enlivened the cramped atmosphere at once.
After a brief opening remarks, Ruberski faced the entrance of the auditorium, performed a standard mage salute, and said in a loud voice: "Now is the entrance ceremony, first of all, the Vice-President, His Excellency Brandi Wood, please welcome." ”
With the eyes and applause of the students, an old man in a black robe, who was obviously a powerhouse of the Holy Domain, slowly entered the auditorium and naturally sat in the center of the first row.
Rubersky glanced at an old man in the first row with a faint expectation on his face, sneered secretly in his heart, but his face was still as warm as spring, and continued: "Next, I have the head of education, Jennifer Carbinrod. ”
…………
After a short time, more than a dozen senior executives of the college entered the auditorium one after another and sat in the first row, which can be regarded as a direct acquaintance of these important people for the students.
Looking at the more than a dozen high-level mages in front of him, including even two Sanctuary mages, Leo had to admit that such a lineup was completely comparable to the headquarters of the Magi.
Imagine that the St. Lauren School of Magic and Magic, which is much better than Raventon, it is said that there are three legendary mages alone, and it is no wonder that the Magic Council controls the power of the Japanese drama, if it were not for the relatively close connection with Lordaren, I am afraid that these colleges would not have recognized its authority a long time ago.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Rubersky spoke: "Now please wait for a while, I will go and ask ......"
Before he finished speaking, a rapid "click" sound came, which immediately blocked his words.
Everyone turned around curiously, and it turned out to be a graceful figure appearing at the entrance of the auditorium, and as the figure quickly approached, everyone gradually saw the face of the person who came.
It was a very beautiful young woman, in her early twenties, tall and well-proportioned, with long, lilac hair that was slightly curled. The eyebrows are as straight as a sword, and they look a little less feminine, but a little more heroic.
Of course, Rubersky knew the other party, and asked helplessly: "Leia, why did you come here?" (to be continued......)
