The afternoon sun shone brightly on the square, and the metal emblem on the top of the main teaching building shone brightly in the sun. Fendier walked among the students rushing to class, and walked with everyone through the path leading to On the long and gentle ramp of the main teaching building, he was wearing a brand-new uniform of the Imperial College cadets. The decorative thin chains near the collar of the uniform and the copper buttons on the clothes shone in the sun.
Among the students coming and going on the ramp, some were wearing "officer uniforms" similar to his, which imitated regular army uniforms, and some were wearing uniforms from other colleges - the students held their heads high, Walking proudly in the highest university in the empire, there are young people like Fendil, middle-aged people with gray hair, and even old people with wrinkles on their faces.
"You finally chose the sergeant branch," Elaven's voice came from the side, "I thought you would at least try the magic branch again before this winter..."
Fendil turned his head and took a look, and saw the son of the Grand Duke of the West, who was wearing a magical uniform. The new blue uniform with mechanical and magical symbols made this man who was originally Some bookish long-time friends appear a bit more polite.
"Your new uniforms are not bad either," Fendil said with a smile, and then shook his head somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I better forget it... I know where I am enlightened and where I am. It's hopeless. If you ask me to use magic to fight people, that's okay, or less advanced mathematical knowledge is okay, but if you ask me to deal with machines... I'd rather go hunting bears on the ice. I must have known this when I came here, because she didn’t even let me take any mechanical courses..."
Elaine looked at him for a long time, and finally could only shake his head helplessly: "...I I've always admired your optimism."
"Haha...don't be so serious, I don't want to see you become a nerd when I graduate as an officer candidate," Fendil laughed. He laughed and said, "You have already begun to have this tendency!"
Elaven obviously didn't bother to pay attention to the not-so-smart sense of humor of the Northern heir. He just thought about it seriously. , sighed: "Now, we have fewer opportunities to meet with Film - he is almost always busy at the film company."
"...After all, we have We all have our own things to do," Fundil shook his head and said, "But it's too early to say this now - we just have more studies than before, and it's not yet time to go to the army or the Government Affairs Office to take on responsibilities. , there are still at least two years of wonderful college life waiting for us - before that, we can still show up at the film company as much as possible."
"That's right," Elaine nodded. He turned his head and glanced at the students coming and going on the ramp not far away - whether they were formal students who had already put on departmental uniforms or freshmen who were wearing basic uniforms, every face he saw was confident and confident. Proud, this not only made him think, "PhilippinesElm told me before that he has a wish. He hopes to wait until the shadow drama gradually develops and matures, and after more and more people accept and recognize this new thing, he will create a specialized subject, like the scholars at Imperial College. Just like teaching in high school, teach others how to make magic shadow plays, how to perform, how to create..."
"He really has some original ideas," Fendi suddenly showed a hint of surprise, "I Never thought about this! ”
“Yes, no one has ever done anything like this... A lot of knowledge is passed down from family or passed down by masters and apprentices, but Firm seems to think that they should be treated like the knowledge in the academy.” Organize it systematically..." Elaine said, shrugging, "Maybe he can succeed? "
"...If one day comes, maybe he will become a more famous person than you and me. In a few years, his portrait may even be hung on the wall of some teaching buildings - —Like Father of the Ley or Ravencrest. ”
Elaven couldn’t help laughing when he thought of that scene. At this moment, several figures wearing freshmen uniforms appeared at the end of the ramp, attracting him and those nearby. The sights of some students.
Fendil also quickly saw those figures - they were male and female, they seemed to be about the same age, and they had good appearances and inadvertently revealed their words and deeds. It shows that they have extraordinary backgrounds. These freshmen walk together. Apart from their temperament, they don’t look much different from other students in this college. However, an observant person will easily see that they are not very different. Well integrated into the surrounding atmosphere: they talked to each other and seemed a little nervous about the surroundings, and the students passing by them occasionally showed a vague sense of distance.
This is not the case. It was obvious, but it was enough to attract Fendil's attention.
"Ah, those foreign students from Typhon..." the northern heir whispered, "I have some feelings for that girl named Dana. Impression..."
"Hey - you don't sound like a qualified nobleman. "
"Where did you think you were going? I was just helping him show the way," Fendil immediately judged his innocence, "You know, these international students from Typhon are our Majesty's "key care targets." "
"These Typhons always seem too tight - no one here rejects them," Elaven shook his head, "Keeping this state, they will have to complete the rest of their studies. Not that easy. "
"So at this time, we, the 'hosts', need to show goodwill to these foreign visitors," Fendil laughed, patted Elaven on the shoulder, and stepped towards the people who mentioned it. He walked in the direction of Feng International Student, "Come on, we should say hello to these new students - let them know that Cecil people are also well-mannered. ”
“Say hello? "Elevin had just had time to murmur, and he had already seen his friend walking straight over. He stayed behind and watched the scene helplessly. After a few seconds, he was stillSighing, he took steps to follow.
I should say hello.
After all...it is also his and Fendil's mission in this academy to establish a good relationship with these noble children from Typhon and bring them into contact with Cecil's prosperous world.
......
A pair of light gray eyes were hidden in the shadows of the pillars, cautiously watching what happened on the courtyard slope. After observing for a long time, the owner of these eyes Only then did he look back.
A figure as short as a child with gray hair and gray eyes hid behind the shadow of the pillar. She sat down on the base of a circle of pillars, put the textbook on her knees, and spread it out. A half-written piece of paper, with dots of words written on it ready to be sent to a distant place: "...This is indeed an incredible city. It is bigger than the royal city of the gray elves. All the buildings are very high, and almost All the buildings are very new...
“It’s not as lacking in trees as I first thought – although humans often expand their cities by cutting down vegetation, there are still plenty of trees in this city. It can be seen that most of the tree shades were planted by the druids living in this city, and the druid apprentices in the academy have a very important internship course to maintain the plants in the city...
"The druids here are different from other places. There are many druids here, but only a small number are the 'standard druids' who truly master magic. Most of the rest actually use alchemical potions and The alchemists who come to 'cast spells' from the Magic Terminal are equally respected, especially in the alchemy factory...
"There are people everywhere here, including Cecils and some from the north or hometown. People over there, and Typhonians... Typhonic students are very conspicuous in this 'Imperial College'. They always wear Typhon's emblem in the most obvious place on their body, although this will make Some Cecilians kept their distance or attracted unwanted attention, but they did it anyway.
“...Everyone here is immersed in knowledge, and learning is the most important thing - taking precedence over all concepts of identity, status, race and wealth, because no one has the energy to pay attention to anything else. There are countless new things here that can firmly capture the hearts of every student. Of course, another important reason is that the learning order and assessment here are really strict. The scholars who teach knowledge directly communicate with someone in the Government Affairs Department. They are responsible for a department, and they show no mercy to any student, not even the Duke's heirs...
"...Ah, by the way, mother, those Typhons I just mentioned also study very hard, except Outside the dormitory cafeteria and classrooms, they hardly socialize and don't go out. This is one of the reasons why they are too conspicuous here - although everyone is working hard, they work too hard. But today I saw the heirs of the Duke of the North and the Duke of the West going to greet those Typhon students. Those Typhons seemed to be very talkative...
"Of course I am also trying to make friends, although... ...I only have one friend. Her name is Peas.The words are a bit strange, but she is a big shot - her father is the Admiral of the Cecil Empire! And Wandou also has a magical magic device that can speak and sense the surrounding environment on her behalf...
"...By the way, I also met an incredible teacher, he is a pure energy Creature, people respectfully call him 'Master Kamel', but I was shocked when I saw it for the first time... But please don't worry, mother, I didn't do anything disrespectful...
"I live a good life here, you don't have to worry about me, and..."
A shadow suddenly shrouded from the side, and the gray elf girl who was lowering her head to write was instantly startled. She put her hand on the letter - she shivered visibly, and her long, silky gray hair looked a little fluffy.
And a slightly emotionless one, as if it were synthesized by a machine. A female voice sounded almost at the same time: "Ah, Meili! You're hiding behind the pillar again! ”
The gray elf girl named Meili raised her head and saw Pea standing next to her. She was visibly relieved, but she still blocked the letter on her knees with her hand, and at the same time used A slender voice replied in a low voice: "I'm writing a letter..."
The next second she heard her new friend cracklingly speak: "Write a letter? Who is it written to? Family member? Where is the Ogure Tribal Nation? Ah, by the way, I shouldn't ask about this, this is ** - I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say it. Speaking of which, I haven’t written a letter for a long time. The last time I wrote to my father was on Easter Day... But with the magic network communication, who still writes letters? The North Coast has established a connection... Ogure When will the tribal states be able to communicate directly with Cecil? I heard that you have started building a magic network? ”
Wandou’s voice kept crackling like pouring beans. Mei Li Bai Zhi was instantly shocked by the power of this language, and could not get in a sentence from beginning to end, until the other party finally came to an end. Then the gray elf girl finally had the chance to speak, her voice lower than before: "I am writing a letter to my mother..."
Then she waited for another two seconds before continuing: "The Ogure Tribal Nation is also building a magic network...my mother is responsible for it. "
"Really? "Wandou immediately showed a look of surprise, and then expressed admiration, "Ah... yes, your mother is the leader of the Gray Elves, and she was the first to expand trade and introduce technology to the Western Region. Even my father said that she I admire your mother very much. He said that the north is full of stubborn stones. If those stones had half the insight and intelligence of your mother, things would be at least a hundred times easier for him there..."
"What Lord Byron said I'm afraid the 'stone' I'm talking about is not just a stone..." Gray elf Mei Li Bai Zhi warned in a low voice, but her weak voice was quickly drowned out by the crackling words behind Dou Dou.
But She wasn't upset or angry in any way - it wasShe was used to this situation.
Probably, this is why they can become friends.
......
"College life...it seems a bit envious."
Hubo sat on the high wall, looking at the Imperial College Looking at the courtyard in front of the castle-like main building, looking at the students who are immersed in the best years of this world, I couldn't help but talk with emotion.
Her legs reached outside the edge of the wall and were dangling in mid-air, looking quite comfortable.
A figure appeared next to her like a ghost, turning into a bald man with a scar on his face: "Boss, do you want to go to school?"
"What school are you going to? Do I seem to be able to get in? I'm going to give lectures too!" Amber immediately glared at his deputy, "Stop talking nonsense and talk about business."
"It's already been checked. Well, one person in this group of international students is definitely a spy, and there are two others who are suspected, and the others are fine." Scarface Anton was scolded, and his expression immediately became serious and he began to report seriously, "We have been keeping an eye on Having accessed the communication channels of those three people, the 'Magician' special team is trying to figure out how to do something without alerting them. There are no problems with the other batches of international students, including the one who is being closely watched - she is indeed mentioned. The daughter of an earl, her identity is innocent and there is no problem. The previous contact with Fundil Wilder was not intentional, it was probably a simple bad mind."
"Not bad... the Typhon people are indeed. You are here for knowledge, and you are not stupid enough to waste all your precious academic opportunities on useless espionage activities. Keep an eye on those people, whether they are spies or suspected spies, and incite rebellion if you are sure there is a chance. , if you don’t have a chance, don’t alert the target, just keep monitoring. They will be treasures in the future. When the Eternal Sleepers evacuated, we lost some manpower in Typhon. We must find a way to make up for these losses..."< /p>
Scar-faced Anton nodded: "I understand, boss."
Amber waved her hand, and Anton disappeared quietly on the wall, and then she turned her attention to He walked into the courtyard and sighed softly:
"College life..."
