The end of the year at Red Hill College is the busiest and most stressful time of the year. Students have to travel between the library and the dormitory all day long to prepare for the rigors of the end-of-year tests, and graduates have to prepare for the Capture the Flag battle, not to mention the pressure.

Almost every year, at the end of the year, the counseling room at Redhill College is overcrowded, and students suffering from depression, rage, anorexia and other diseases for various reasons go in and out like products on the assembly line, which is spectacular.

For this reason, the students were indignant for a while, and even organized a small protest, believing that the study pressure at Hongshan College was too high, which was a serious injury to the students. Especially compared with those teachers who are condescending on the examiner's seat and look at the candidates in a good way, the suffering of the students is even more bloody and tearful.

But in fact, this is really the prejudice and hypocrisy of the students, and the most pressure at the end of the year is the tutors who are hostile to them!

"Every year in the Capture the Flag Battle, more than half of the important characters in the map are played by real people, and the hard work is really hard to describe...... The rehearsal beforehand, the phantom physical and mental adjustment, and all kinds of sufferings are simply too numerous to mention. Let me just say a little bit, when the students complained that they had to run psychological counseling every year, our tutors had to frequently go outside the school for medical treatment because the psychological counseling room in the school was overcrowded, and the medical skills were uneven, and the expenses could not be fully reimbursed, and the college was in charge of finances...... I was drawn to participate in the Capture the Flag that year, and I only gained 15 pounds that year......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Liming couldn't help revealing his true feelings, his fat cheeks trembled slightly with his voice, and his eyes flashed with crystal color, like a belly exposed outside the demon robe.

can make Zheng Liming, who has a greasy temperament, feel sad to this point, and the pain in it is afraid that it will catch up with Bai Xiao and Qingyue's parting and death! Thinking of this, Bai Xiao didn't care about Zheng Liming's oiliness, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's all over." ”

Zheng Liming was stunned when he heard this, what kind of thing is this? I am being comforted? Hell, there is still someone who will comfort me?

Since he began to indulge in fried chicken, Zheng Liming has never been comforted by anyone, no matter what trauma he has experienced!

Fortunately, without waiting for Zheng Liming to continue to be awkward, Bai Xiao asked again: "Is it necessary to make such a big fanfare?"

Zheng Liming explained: "From an outsider's point of view, it is indeed difficult to say that there is any need. If you want to test the strength of students, there are more simple and affordable ways to do it. After a capture the flag battle, all the teachers and students in the academy were exhausted, and it was difficult to say that there was any necessity...... However, this is a tradition at Red Hill College. ”

Bai Xiao suddenly understood.

In the southern continent, all kinds of ignorance can prevail in the name of tradition, and these two words are like a gold medal that makes people invincible, and they are simply omnipotent.

"Haotian Banner is the starting point of the Western Continent War of Independence. Zheng Liming gave Bai Xiao a history lesson, "You should mention this history in the textbook, but you will rarely write down the details...... It's very simple, because the current ruler of the Western Continent is the Ying family after all, not the Lu family, and all kinds of legends about Lu Hao are rarely found in regular history books, but fortunately, we are Hongshan City, and you can go to the third floor of the library to find ancient history when you have time later, and most of the history books written during the Lu family dynasty are collected there. But now I'll briefly summarize it for you: At the beginning of the uprising, Lu Hao's strength was far inferior to that of the Shengyuan Empire. Although he himself is amazingly talented, he is limited by his background in the Western Continent, and he has never been in contact with the cutting-edge demonic technology that has been firmly blocked by the Shengyuan Empire, but he has only broken some blockades and obtained some forbidden techniques by himself...... With such power, it is more than enough to create some chaos by surprise, but to say that it can overthrow the rule of the Shengyuan Empire is like a fantasy. And at this time, what is the most important problem for him to solve?"

Bai Xiao thought for a while: "Need to organize enough companions?"

Zheng Liming was a little surprised: "That's right, it's a companion...... It seems that you really have a much deeper understanding of the southern continent, and many locals in the south will first respond to a powerful force. But in reality, the most important thing about an uprising is to win enough supporters than a single man. At that time, the rule of the Shengyuan Empire in the Western Continent was already shaky, and there were people everywhere who had the intention of overthrowing the colonists, and even many of the Shengyuan people supported the independence of the Western Continent, but the strength of these people was scattered and not confident. The prestige of the Shengyuan Empire has gradually precipitated from the period of the Great War of Man and Demon, and the civilization level of the Eastern Continent is far superior to that of the Western Continent. And although Lu Hao has the courage, he also knows that even if he rises up, people will not trust him, and he needs more powerful bargaining chips to make people believe that the uprising can be successful. And this chip is Haotian Banner. ”

After a pause, Zheng Liming continued: "The Haotian Banner is said to be a strange object in the Demon Realm captured by the Shengyuan Empire when the Demon Clan was defeated. At that time, the Shengyuan Empire, feeling that the situation in the Western Continent was unstable, handed over this strange thing to the ruler of the Western Continent at that time, Wing King Yuan Chu, who had the strength of the Golden Realm at that time, and was already a peerless master in that era, only one step away from the Apocalypse - the Apocalypse 1,800 years ago was quite different from the Apocalypse today, but it undoubtedly meant it

The pinnacle of individual power. Give the Haotian Banner to this person, even if there are many opponents in the Western Continent, they will all be mantis arms as a car. And Lu Hao decided to start from here and snatch the Haotian Banner over. Without this most important thing of suppression, the deterrent power of the Shengyuan Empire's force in the Western Continent will be greatly reduced, and the strength of the rebels will be turned upside down, and the strength of the strength and weakness will be reversed in an instant. ”

"But of course, this kind of demon realm strange thing, no matter how stupid and incompetent the ruler is, he will not take it lightly, not to mention that Yuan Chu is still one of the few masters of the Shengyuan Empire at that time? But he finally did it, he not only took away the Haotian Banner, but also killed Yuan Chu, directly throwing the two most important weights of the Shengyuan Empire in the Western Continent off the scales, thus opening the glorious prelude to the Western Continent's War of Independence. And Hongshan Academy, as a magic academy founded by Lu Hao, held the 'Capture the Flag Battle' to commemorate the independence of the Western Continent, which is also justified. ”

When Bai Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little respect for the ancestors of the Lu family back then.

In the face of adversity, he completed the miracle of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle and established a brilliant career in one fell swoop...... If there is such a historical background, the Capture the Flag as a tradition does have the value of existence.

However, Bai Xiao was also a little curious, how did Lu Hao take away the strange things of the Demon Realm that were related to the safety of the Western Continent from an opponent who was stronger than himself?

Zheng Liming snorted: "Who knows? This is an unsolved mystery that has plagued mankind for 1,800 years...... The reason why the Red Mountain Academy later held the Capture the Flag Battle, and it became a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years, is also because people really can't figure out how to achieve the miracle of Capture the Flag under those conditions. That's why we try to let the students with the most active thinking and creative ability try to open up new possibilities for everyone. In terms of results, the students of Hongshan Academy have indeed proved their ability, and each batch of graduates who won the title of Haotian Banner Bearer have extraordinary personal abilities and equally extraordinary creativity. But unfortunately, even the best of them are still far from the miracle of capture the flag in real history......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Liming couldn't help but smile: "However, when it comes to your generation, it makes people look forward to it, maybe you and Qingyue have the opportunity to solve this problem that has plagued people for 1800 years." ”
