On November 20, the first snow fell in the hinterland of Daqin in early winter.

This snow covered a radius of hundreds of miles, and it was a grand scale in terms of scale, and if a demon priest stood high above the edge of the clouds, he could see a dazzling pure white color if he looked down against the baptism of strong winds and low temperatures.

and mottled notches on pure white: mostly where humans live in groups.

One of the most striking is the Red Hill Castle, located at the heart of the snowfall, a bustling city that burns like a furnace and the heat in the city turns most of the snow into water in mid-air.

In the early morning, the city was already crowded with people, from all regions and ethnic groups, dressed in completely different clothes, forming a very different appearance, which made people feel the vastness of this world.

Even in the Great Qin Empire, which is relatively unified in terms of blood and culture, after nearly two thousand years of geographical estrangement, there will be many subtle differences between people, not to mention that there are still many foreigners who came to Hongshan City on this day.

From the other side of the sea of hope, tens of thousands of Shengyuan tourists flocked to it.

Thanks to the slightly hasty but luxurious publicity plan launched by Hongshan Academy: 24-hour continuous advertisements in several major cities of the Blur Domain, supplemented by live broadcast technology projected into reality, almost the entire territory of human civilization was filled with advertisements from Hongshan Academy during this time. And the academy's annual year-end test has been rendered into a once-in-a-century festival in the demon realm.

What's even more strange is that in the Shengyuan Empire, this kind of propaganda should have been resisted by the empire - for example, the live broadcast celebrities who were very popular in the Qin State were often much inferior in the influence of the Shengyuan, and the live streams from the Qin State would be directly restricted to death, while in the territory of the Shengyuan, local stars could be promoted to the greatest extent.

This time, the empire accepted all the propaganda of the Qin people, as if it had already had a tacit understanding, which intensified people's curiosity and attracted a large number of good people inside and outside the circle.

The Shengyuan people, who had already settled and traveled in the Qin State, were the first to visit, and then port cities such as Dongli City began to welcome a large number of ships from Shengyuan. In addition, there are not only two countries in the eastern and western continents, but also a considerable number of small countries that are comfortable in the gap between the big countries. Until the 20th, there were already more than 50,000 foreign tourists in the city of Red Hill, and many more were still on their way.

And the year-end test of Hongshan Academy this year is indeed worthy of the extravagant publicity, both in terms of the scale of the test and the specific method, compared with the previous tradition that has been maintained for thousands of years.

Of course, this subversion requires not only the sudden windfall, but also the firm courage of the person at the helm.

Now, at the top of the tallest building in Hongshan City: the gray tower, Zhu Junshen looks at the prosperity under his feet wordlessly, but there is no sense of joy.

Then, unexpectedly, the playful voice behind him came from the one that had added countless wrinkles to him.

"Teacher, obviously at the beginning, you were still very stubborn, saying that it was stable and traditional, but when it came to the end, you were the one who spared no effort. ”

Zhu Junshen asked angrily: "The plan has been deliberated and approved by the council, should I, the dean, hold back the entire academy at this time?"

After a pause, Zhu Junshi said: "Although until now, I still don't think that the propaganda of this broadcast world is proper, and there is an unusually huge dangerous ...... hidden in it."

"But until the meeting was voted on, you couldn't see with your eyes what the danger was. Yuan Shi shook his head, "So you didn't use the dean's veto power to sit back and watch the situation develop, so why do you have to be sentimental like an 80-year-old virgin now?"

“...... Where did you get the cheekiness to taunt me about this?"

Yuan Shi smiled: "I'm only seventeen years old, and purity is a plus." ”

"Do you have to take off your face every birthday? Forget it, I remember you haven't had a birthday in years......

"When it's just the two of us, you're sharp. ”

"I really wish you could be so sharp when there were only two of you...... Say, what's the matter with coming to me at this time?"

The original poem converged on the color: "Two things, one is to send a notice to the senior sister in place of the note, Yinghongtu They have arrived, you had better pack up and welcome the guests with a smile." ”

Zhu Junshen sneered: "Your Highness the eldest son, heh, White Night City was silent before, but at this time, the prince was sent to watch the play? ”

"I've delayed my arrival by half an hour. ”

"You're going to make your own decisions!" Zhu Junshen really had nothing to do with this student, so he hurriedly began to tidy up his clothes, "What about the second thing!?"

"Her Royal Highness Princess Demon Dao has preliminarily sorted out her toolbox, but it is impossible for her as a contestant to bring her toolbox into the arena, so this time can only rely on you. ”

As he spoke, Yuan Shi handed over a drawing whose ink had not yet dried to Zhu Junshen.

“...... Good guy, this girl is really crazy, she actually spent her energy on these things before the test, didn't she want to win from the beginning?"

Yuan Shi said: "She said that she didn't want to win, in my opinion she wanted to win more than anyone else, and this toolbox was just a warm-up exercise for her to make it easier for herself...... Teacher, you've been guiding her for nearly a year, and it seems that you still don't know enough about her. ”

Zhu Junshen said: "From the moment I met her, I never expected myself to understand her, just as I didn't expect myself to understand you before. There's a rather ironic saying in academia, and you're probably the one who abuses that phrase the most. 'When two people have an IQ gap of more than 20, they can't understand each other'. ”

The original poem said: "Ah yes, I like to use this sentence to make things worse for others when I am pranks, and the feeling of overlooking is always wonderful...... However, this time it's finally my turn to look up to others, that girl is really lovely, seriously, if you can't play it, let it be for me. ”

"Flim Flam. Zhu Junshen scoffed at this, while making the final finishing touches, making himself look more in line with the identity of the first person in Daqin, facing the visitors of White Night City in a dignified manner, but he also saw through the lies of the original poem.

"You can't mentor students who are smarter than you, because you've never learned how to deal with people who are smarter than you. "This is your biggest flaw, although in a normal year, it doesn't matter at all...... But obviously, none of us were born in normal times. In recent years, there have been a little too many talented people. ”

After speaking, Zhu Junshen examined the purgatory-like pattern depicted by Qing Yue again, and then took the drawing into his arms.

"Let's go, let's go and greet the distinguished guests from White Night City. ”

——

At the base of the gray tower, there is a lounge specially prepared for guests visiting the dean, and although it is not luxuriously decorated and lacks high-end refreshments, it has a reputation that countless people yearn for.

It was a private room that only the few distinguished guests recognized by the Red Mountain Academy were eligible to enter, and many demon monks were proud to be entertained as a capital to enter...... However, as the rhetorical crowd overplays the symbolism of the lounge, Redhill College is becoming more and more reluctant to open to the public. In recent years, even some well-known Demon Dao masters have come to visit, and they will not arrange for them to wait in that VIP room.

So, for those who are now waiting for the Grandmaster in the VIP room, this is already a considerable level of courtesy.

Unless the privilege lasts more than half an hour.

"Your Highness, they are really too deceitful!"

A middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, stood up from the rattan wooden chair, and instantly released a killing intent that seemed to be substantial.

"Sit down. ”

However, this killing intent disappeared with the whisper of a young man on the main seat.

The middle-aged man instantly restrained all his anger, and lowered his head slightly ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't want to act rashly, but I couldn't get used to seeing Hongshan people so ......"

"Do you want to take this opportunity to make an impression on me so that you can be promoted and make a fortune?" said the young man on the throne in an indifferent tone, "I am not willing to be a pawn with Jin Sui's attainments, thinking that as long as I have the opportunity to show my ability and loyalty in front of the emperor's eldest son, I can get a better stage, right?"

As the young man's sarcastic words fell, the middle-aged man, who was still imposing, suddenly withered, as if he were a melting snowman.

"Don't be so frustrated, I'm not going to return it. Since Zhang Wu recommended you to me, it means that the most capable secret agent of the Secret Agent Bureau is nothing more than that, and even if I return it, I can't exchange it for a better agent, so I can only use it. ”

These words made the people around them feel uneasy, because according to His Highness's intentions, if there are better secret agents, will these people be laid off?

Ying Hongtu sneered: "If you don't want to be laid off, don't say stupid things, don't do stupid things, the original intention of the establishment of the Royal Secret Service is not to build a funny theater for fools." A hundred years ago, the Secret Service was still the most powerful assistant of the royal family, and many agents who made meritorious contributions to the royal family in the dark night are forever commemorated in the Shadow City...... Of course, more importantly, among them, the royal family has never hesitated to give gifts to those who intend to return to the light. ”

After saying this, the air in the VIP room changed slightly.

Ying Hongtu is very familiar with this invisible change, as the eldest son of the royal family, he has grown up in these flavors since he was a child.

It is called the taste of interest smoked heart.

Yinghongtu likes this taste the most, because people who exude this smell are the most convenient to use...... As a royal family that has controlled the Western Continent for 1,400 years, it has long been impossible to believe in loyalty, except for a few exceptions, most people are like donkeys, and the condition for being driven by people must be profit. And skillfully using these people to rule the country is a compulsory course for everyone who inherits the throne.

"Zhang Wu sent you rabble to me as a guard, did he trust me, the eldest son of the emperor, or did he follow the instructions of the elder of the family to carry out a useless test on me? However, over the years, he has cleaned up a lot of garbage in the Secret Agent Bureau, but it has also made the Secret Agent Bureau seem too empty, and he can only use his interests to buy some ready-made demon Taoists to serve, and the level is really different from the elite who have experienced and perfected the system. Now who is the head of the yellow clothes, Liu Ke Ha, that kind of goods is also mixed with the position of the chief of the yellow clothes, no wonder he has a bitter face every time he sees Zhang Wu. ”

These words were even more heavy, and the spies only felt that it was difficult to breathe...... Indeed, they are all members of Zhang Wu's recent temporary signs, although they all have good skills, but they are really very different from the real secret agent elite, and His Royal Highness the prince has pointed out the topic so thoroughly in public, could it be ......

"That's right, I'm bored, so I can only use you to relieve my boredom. Ying Hongtu sneered, "Before the arrival of the first person of Great Qin, my mood will only get worse and worse, so I can only trouble you to relieve my pressure...... As a personal agent, you can still do this function, right?"

And just when the atmosphere in the VIP room had dropped to freezing, the apricot yellow door finally creaked open.

"It would be rude to let His Highness wait for a long time. ”

The next moment, Ying Hongtu put on a warm smile like early summer: "What the Grandmaster said, we took the liberty to visit and caused trouble to your hospital." ”

Zhu Junshen smiled back: "Your Highness's visit at this time is an excellent publicity for this academy test, how can it be trouble......some? This has always been the case since the establishment of the institute. ”

Zhu Junshen smiled, his tone was gentle and kind, but there was some ice ballast mixed in it.

At the beginning of its establishment, it took care of the royal family of Hongshan Academy, but it is not the royal family it is today......

The Grand Master was not a master of the art of concealing needles, and his words were only due to the experience he had accumulated over decades as a dean, so even the vulgar people in the VIP room who had been temporarily warned could hear the meaning of his words.

White Night City wants to see the jokes of the Red Mountain People, come and see our Red Mountain People show up close and become a part of our glory.

We never cared who sat on the throne.

Ying Hongtu lowered his head slightly: "Grandmaster is really confident in this test, and we are also looking forward to how exciting the program will be after Hongshan Academy has been preparing for so long!"

——

Wonderful program, which started on time at noon.

Red Mountain Academy once again came up with a magic miracle that shocked the world.

At the beginning of the much-anticipated opening, five fist-sized balls rose from the square of Hongshan Academy.

The sphere was held up by an invisible force and slowly lifted into the air, ten meters, one hundred meters, until it was five hundred meters above it, and then floated to different positions above Hongshan City, far away from each other, vaguely forming an equidistant pentagon.

The fist-sized balls are impossible to identify with the naked eye when they are more than 500 meters above the ground, but the whole process of the five balls rising and floating in the air is accurately projected by projection magic tools scattered all over the city.

At the same time, outside the city of Hongshan, all the major cities within the territory of human civilization are also showing these pictures simultaneously.

Naturally, there was a lot of chatter, and people kept speculating about what the five balls were.

But there are also discerning demon masters who changed their faces as soon as the ball appeared.

"Red Mountain People...... How dare you do it. ”

"How much money do they have?!"

The Red Mountain Academy didn't intend to be appetizing, and after the five balls were in place, the mystery was revealed.

The ball expands with astonishing efficiency.

Like a balloon that goes straight through a blower, it expands tenfold, hundredfold, or thousandfold in the blink of an eye, from the size of a fist...... The momentum was so fast that it was dizzying.

Soon, people realized that they no longer had to stare at the projection of the magic equipment.

Because from the sky, huge shadows have been cast.

When you raise your head, you can see five round spherical arenas, quietly suspended in the sky above Red Mountain City, like five gods, condescendingly looking at the tiny beings and ants.

——

The Spherical Arena is the pinnacle of civil engineering at Red Hill College.

This point has already been seen in the warm-up program before the start of this year-end test, Bai Xiao and Da Qin Jin will collide passionately in the spherical field, and thousands of spectators around can enjoy the game from all angles...... Its functionality is so comprehensive and powerful that it dwarfs all buildings of its kind.

And that behemoth, Hongshan Academy actually built five in a short period of time, and also miniaturized them, this powerful technology, and disregard for cost, is really a magic miracle worthy of going down in history.

And that's just the foreshadowing for the year-end test.

After the five arenas were fully unfolded, the guests who had been invited in advance entered the arena along their respective passages, ready to watch the magic feast up close.

Of course, more people can only stay by the projection magic equipment and watch the broadcast screen.

But even so, the passion in people's hearts is still difficult to suppress, because according to the Hongshan people's own propaganda slogan.

The real excitement lies in the hard work of hundreds of students in five grades in the five arenas!

——

"In other words, although the slogan says that the five grades are working hard...... But seriously, are we in four grades really necessary?"

A fifth-grader at Hongshan Academy couldn't help but sigh with sorrow as he looked at the empty auditorium and the crowded first-year arena on the broadcast screen.
