Chapter 114: Horn's Cold Sweat

Soon, the man completely lost his patience, threw the paper aside, returned to the corner of the room, and fetched himself a refreshing drink.

This kind of paper that completely copied the results of others, and also adopted a posture above it, made him very annoyed to watch. The frustration is that the first trial does not need two people, but the return must go through the double review, otherwise he would have thrown it into the trash can long ago.

This kind of thing, even using the teleportation array to teleport back is a waste.

It's a pity that the drawings of the instrument just now also aroused the interest of a certain chief reviewer, but I didn't expect the author to be this kind of person.

At this moment, the door to the room opened, and a skeleton of bones shrouded in robes entered, looking likely to be a lich.

"Hi Horn, good evening. Bone Rack waved his hand, "Can you bring me a drink?"

Seeing that his partner had finally returned, and that he wanted a drink, the man named Horn immediately said, "Of course, Derek, look at you like this......"

Bone Frame sighed heavily: "Failed again, I failed again, why can't she accept me? Why?"

Even though his head was a human skeleton and it was impossible to make any expressions, Horn, who had known him for many years, still felt a deep sadness.

Obviously, this is a lich that still has human feelings, either just been transformed, or is more unique and different.

And Horn couldn't see others like this, so he hurriedly took a drink and came back, comforting: "Don't be like this, she just doesn't understand you, after all, she doesn't have the same feelings as you, but I believe that after a while, it will definitely get better." As long as you keep at it, one day she will understand. ”

"Thank you, my friend. Bone Shelf said gratefully, then took the drink. He took a sip and let the drink flow out of the hollow abdominal cavity and spill it on his legs and on the floor.

"Come on, let's get to work, is there anything I need to review?" the lich's voice was visibly firmer.

"Oh yes, there is, a very boring paper. Horn replied with disdain, but he was still happy to see his friend get better.

"Quack!Quack!I like that!" the lich let out a series of ugly laughs. No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of forced laughter.

According to the normal situation, since Horn said that the paper has no value, then he will not have any interest in reading it again, and generally directly signs and agrees to return it.

But now, he could feel that his laughter was wrong, and in order to hide it, he hurriedly said, "What is it about? Show it to me, I'm bored anyway." ”

"Kamoya structure. Horn replied absentmindedly, "You won't want to see it." I just watched one verse and couldn't take it anymore. You are in this situation, you just need to ...... with me."

In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly stopped.

The soul fire in the skeleton's pupils flickered a few times and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Doesn't seem right...... Horn shook his head. "I read one section, but with the thickness of that paper, there should be at least ten sections...... What's going on behind it?"

"Hah, that sounds interesting. Let's take a look, there's still a whole night to go anyway, maybe it's a good start. The lich said with interest.

............

A large clearing in the village. There are a lot of wooden seats with a variety of delicacies on them, which are available for everyone to use.

At this moment, the people participating in the banquet had already gathered, and they were talking to each other in small groups around the pile of wood in the center of the clearing.

Leo counted about seventy or eighty people, but no one touched the food and drink, as if they were still waiting for something.

Even in the harsh winter, the environment here does not feel cold at all, and I wonder if it is to set off the atmosphere, the sky that was originally bright under the influence of magic has finally darkened, so that people can see the stars in the sky clearly.

This time, because he was going to rest after the banquet and would not return to the management office, Leo had to bring the Valkyrie with him.

Noticing this all-metal magical puppet, many people who have studied it have shown curiosity.

Obviously, the Valkyrie, both in appearance and behavior, is very different from the magic golems currently on the market.

The business-minded plane merchant immediately greeted him and said in his odd tone, "Hey, Mars, this iron guy looks pretty good. ”

Of course, Leo didn't want to talk about Valkyrie with others, so he said lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't sell this." ”

"Okay, okay. Feeling Leo's vigilance, the gray robe smiled, and then said, "I've already contacted here, and the 5 grams of Yasa dust you want will arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest." ”

Leo nodded and responded, "Thank you, I hope we can complete the transaction tomorrow." ”

"Of course, that's what I hope for. There was no emotion in the gray robe's voice, and then he drifted away.

On the other side, Whitebeard had already walked to the campfire and clapped his hands vigorously.

Under normal circumstances, such behavior, in the midst of noisy discussions, cannot set off any waves at all.

But Whitebeard's applause seemed to have a special magic, and after an instant, everyone fell silent and looked at him.

Whitebeard nodded with satisfaction and said, "The following is the opening party of our small gathering in the North Central Seven District, this time is no different from the past. But there is one point that I must emphasize. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Recently, everyone's willingness to develop new people has become worse and worse, and this time, only Jin Mang has brought one person. ”

As soon as the words fell, a person with a yellow face and thin muscles who looked like a monkey from a distance shouted: "Oh, Whitebeard, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that the requirements for joining are too strict." Those newcomers who meet the standards, which one of them has not already had a reputation as a genius and has been targeted by other organizations, where is it the turn of us savages to develop?"

A strong man next to him, who was two meters tall and shirtless, rolled his eyes and immediately roared back: "You are a wild man, Lao Tzu is not! Lao Tzu is an upright Duomi...... Belch...... Belch...... I didn't say anything. ”

At this moment, everyone burst into laughter.

Leo could see that the man should be a barbarian warrior from the Far North Ice Field, born with an extremely strong physique, but he didn't expect that he was also a member of Violet Castle.

Clark spotted Leo's doubts. He explained a few words empathetically, which made Leo understand.

It turns out that although the warrior does not study and explore the original mysteries of the world like a mage, if he wants to reach a certain level, he must also have his own research.

The application of original energy, the development of combat skills, and the creation of weapons and equipment suitable for oneself all require profound accumulation.

Even digging for minerals and finding treasure requires knowledge. And after accumulating their own lessons, they can also condense these things into knowledge, trade them to Violet Castle, and then exchange them for the knowledge they need. It's a very good virtuous cycle.

Whitebeard coughed heavily a few times to quiet the scene, and then spoke again: "Everyone's problems have been considered by the headquarters, so a new recruitment measure should be introduced soon." Of course, the requirements will still not be lowered, but some incentive mechanisms will be activated, such as the referrer being able to get a part of the knowledge points from the referee, etc. ”

Seeing that the crowd was about to start talking again, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop it. Then he continued, "Alright, now that the rally is officially opened, let's invite the lady Rose Petal, who contributed the most from the previous year!"

As he spoke, a lady who could not tell her age slowly walked out of the crowd. She has long red hair. Mature charm, slender figure and beautiful and moving face, so it immediately became the focus of everyone.

Whitebeard greeted the lady with a smile on his face, and then raised his voice: "Now I have the only newcomer to this rally, Mr. Mars." ”

Wait until Leo comes closer. He continued: "Moreover, Mr. Mars has now passed the audit and officially become one of us. ”

Warm applause rang out. Most of the people who were curious about Leo before secretly affirmed their eyes on people, and the gray robe, iron fist, and fangs thought more about it, and their faces were complicated for a while.

"Come on, let's light a bonfire. Whitebeard snapped his fingers, and the two torches automatically ignited and floated towards the two of them.

After a while, the bonfire was blazing, and countless figures danced in the light of the fire.

Whitebeard clapped his hands rhythmically and took the lead in shouting: "Bonfire burns! knowledge inheritance! spark! never sink!"

"Bonfires burn, knowledge inheritance, sparks, never sink!"

Everyone shouted their vows in unison, looking more and more solemn, and an outdoor dinner about knowledge officially kicked off.

............

Half an hour later, Horn and Derek the Lich looked at each other, both sensing each other's horror, and Horn was even more in a cold sweat.

"This thesis...... The paper ...... "The man gasped and couldn't even finish his words."

The lich's expression was much calmer, and he said, "The numbers are tight, logical, and interlocking, and this is definitely not a conclusion that can be reached by speculation. I have a strong hunch that this paper is likely to be verified by the truth!"

Horn thought about it for a moment and said, "But as you can see, this paper is obviously not complete, and he proposed the internal circulation method of the Kamoya structure, but it came to an abrupt end without detailed verification. ”

The lich shook his head resolutely, "You can see it, his argument is very detailed, Kamoya structure...... Well, it's still a more convenient name for this cell, and we can easily verify it as long as we review it according to his actual design. Of course, if you can make observations, then the results are the most convincing. It's just that, if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't seem to have this kind of magic. ”

Horn suddenly remembered something and stammered, "No...... No...... No magic required!"

"Why?" asked Derek, curiously.

Horn hurriedly replied, "Because when you weren't there, someone just submitted a drawing of an instrument called a microscope, which is said to be fifty times more effective than microvision!"

"Really, what's wrong?" Derek became anxious, because as a lich, he had more depth of research into the necromantic faction than the others, so he could also feel the charm and possibilities of this paper.

"It's been reviewed, and the submitter is the author of this paper......" Horn smiled wryly, but there was a feeling of escape from death in his heart.

Thankfully, Derek was stimulated to read the paper today, otherwise he would have made an irreparable mistake. God knows where the author will submit this paper after it is returned for review.

Derek quickly got to the crux of the matter and asked, "What's his name?"

"I'll go check it out!" Horn woke up from a dream, and hurriedly got up, and was about to go to the next room, the person who could write such a paper could definitely not be an unknown person, perhaps it had already been recorded in the database of people in Violet Castle.

Halfway through, he remembered another important matter, and turned back and asked, "What about this paper, should you submit it immediately?"

Derek hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to wait for the submission, the chief judges should have rested now, and we will decide after we investigate clearly."

............

I don't know what the purpose is, but the lady known as Rose Petal seems to be very interested in Leo, and has been talking to him since the campfire.

Because Leo soon knew that the other party was actually a senior professor of a certain magic academy, and at the same time, in Dalaran's academic title system, he also won the title of intermediate magic master. According to her own words, one of the important reasons why she failed to be promoted to a high-level magician, or even a magician, was that she submitted too much knowledge in Violet Castle, and the evaluation of the academic title of the wizard was affected.

Leo is well aware. Everyone is hiding their identities here, but in this way, the lady's behavior seems a little strange.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Rose Petal to start asking tentatively, "Mr. Mars, looking at your grade, you shouldn't have graduated from the magic academy yet, right?"

Leo immediately became vigilant and kept his mouth shut.

When the rose petals saw him like this, they were smiling and trembling, showing the charm unique to mature women. Then she explained softly: "Don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you, I just think that you can become a member at your age, and you must have made a good achievement, so I want to invite you to our academy to have a look, maybe you will be interested there." ”

This explanation is also reasonable, after all, in any world, talent is the most valuable asset.

At this time, a yin and yang strange voice came: "What can a child who has not grown hair have achieved yet, and he didn't get in until he hugged Jin Mang's thigh." (To be continued......)
