In the early spring, there should be new shoots, but the flowers and trees of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences seem to be special species, which remain lush even after the whole winter.
Soon, led by Bai Ling, the two came to a five-story stone building made of white granite.
The walls on both sides of the building are covered with emerald green vines, and the exquisite carvings on the granite can be vaguely seen from the gaps between the leaves of the entwined vines. The most noticeable thing is the huge stone pillars. A book-holding scholar lowered his head and supported the roof of the building with his shoulders.
"This is the teaching building. The first floor is the classroom for your first-year freshmen. The second and third floors are the classrooms for the senior students. The higher floor is the public activity hall. However, the senior students usually study and travel outside, and rarely stay in the college. .”
In front of the teaching building, there is a statue of an old man.
With the baptism of the years, the statue has eroded a little, and it can be vaguely seen that it is an old man holding a book, who has been baptized by rain, snow, wind and frost.
Bai Lingdao: "This is the great pioneer Antonio, one of the three great pioneers in human history. He revealed the objective law of biological evolution, natural selection, survival of the fittest. It is also because of him that the Grand Duchy naturally The Academy of Sciences has become one of the two most powerful academies today, and the old man is his loyal admirer!"
"Three pioneers? I know the one who published "Heliocentric Theory" by Benevens. Who is the other pioneer?"
Lei Luo asked curiously.
Because the pioneer who was burned to death by the church had a wide range of influence, not only within the church and the scholar class, but also among the common people, but because it touched on the bright belief of the church, few people mentioned that person in public. Pioneers, even academics in the major colleges.
"Adolph Gauss of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Principality of Sealand! The great pioneer Gauss Adolf revealed the objective laws of the natural environment through the foundation of mathematics. The tides are due to the movement of the moon, earthquakes are due to the movement of the earth's crust, storms, frost, etc. The flow of natural energy in the world has thus laid the academic foundation of natural laws, which is also known as elemental magic in the common people."
Lei Luo immediately thought of Ornn's fireball technique.
Needless to say, the Sealand Academy of Natural Sciences must be another top institution that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences.
The teaching building is very quiet and empty.
Lei Lu saw the big characters in front of the teaching building, which were the same as the stone tablet in front of the college gate, and couldn't help but read out again: "Respect the teacher, and pass the torch on from generation to generation."
"That is the school motto, telling us that the knowledge we have learned is obtained by our ancestors through hard exploration. We must respect the hard work of our ancestors. We need to respect our mentors and ancestors from the bottom of our hearts, so that knowledge can be passed on from generation to generation and become rational. A beautiful world of civilization, civilization, and splendor."
Bai Ling seemed to be trying to make himself more mature in front of Lei Luo.
"oh!"
Lei Luo nodded seriously.
The basis for scholars to learn knowledge is inheritance!
Scholars also have beliefs, but unlike churches and many temples that believe in gods, what scholars believe in is the academic topics and knowledge concepts that their predecessors insisted on. Some academics even need to go through generations of unremitting efforts to be verified!
While the scholars of the younger generations believed in their ancestors, they also believed that they would be able to surpass them and pass on the knowledge to a greater extent!
The inheritance of knowledge and the growth of scholars are really amazing.
"There's no one there, and the school will officially start in two days, let's go elsewhere."
After turning around in front of the teaching building, Bailing left with Lei Luo.
Following Bai Ling, Lei Luo walked through a lakeside corridor.
On the lake, red-billed gulls swim in groups.
"The college is divided into two parts, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is in front of it. Only scholars who have completed the graduation assessment and obtained a natural degree certificate can enter the inner courtyard. Have you seen the tallest building? It is the Grand Royal Palace. The research institute is also called the Scholar's Tower, and people outside like to call it the Magic Tower, how about it, it's spectacular!"
When he first entered the academy, Aoun kept shouting excitedly after seeing the tower, but Lei Luo didn't take it seriously at that time.
Now through the metal fence, looking up at the tower at a close distance, for a moment, Lei Luo felt like an ant, standing at the feet of the giant, small and humble, looking up at the vastness.
The oppressive force coming to the face comes from the breath of truth of scholars exploring the laws of nature. In this breath, it seems that a big hand is slowly wiping away the heavy dust, uncovering layers of dark fog, longing for Know yourself, know the world, and know the vast universe and starry sky.
"Hee hee, when I pass the graduation examination this year and get a natural degree certificate, I can go in and play!"
Bailing murmured happily.
"So the degree certificate is so important! When I was reading the biography, why did magicians seldom stay in the fief, and they were all striving for higher professional titles."
Lei Luo whispered.
Bai Ling rolled his eyes and said, "You, as a scholar, don't call yourself a magician in front of other scholars in the future, you will be laughed at."
"Oh, got it!"
Realizing that he lost his composure, Lei Luo slowed down and said, "Then... Teacher Gu Bo, what degree is it?"
"He, when he married my mother more than 20 years ago, he obtained the extraordinary degree certificate issued by the Royal Committee of Academicians. He has always dreamed of being able to enter the Royal Committee of Academicians."
Bai Ling thought for a while and said: "If truth is compared to a big tree, and knowledge is compared to the fruits on the tree, then enlightenment scholars are just a group of people who are struggling to learn to pick up fruits on the ground, while natural scholars are looking for
"ah?"
This metaphor is very strange. During the process of exploring the laws of truth, a picture of a group of people trying to pick the fruits of the big tree emerged in Lei Luo's mind.
Needless to say, this metaphor definitely did not come from this Senior Bai Ling...
Most likely it came from her father, the Gu Bo mentor.
"What about... a Royal Academician?"
Bai Ling, who was leading the way in front, gave an "en", pondered for a moment, thought for a while and said, "It should be someone who picks fruits that others can't see, anyway, it's just very powerful. In the corridors of the teaching offices of every college, there are Didn’t the old man always dream that he could hang their portraits on them after death!”
The Royal Academicians are so powerful, Lei Luo can no longer imagine the pioneers.
After walking around the long iron fence, Lei Luo followed Bailing to the bustling street shops.
"This is the Street of Scholars. People outside also like to call it Magic Shop Street, or First Street. Mercenaries often come here to buy magic tools and magic potions, and also bring some natural specimens and precious materials from outside adventures. Sell it here."
This is the bustling street where Lei Luo entered the gate of the academy. The area is so large that it occupies a small half of the outer courtyard of the academy, bringing considerable benefits to the academy.
Lark seems to have another purpose.
The two went straight through the bustling street and came to a store called 'Amy Nassus' Looking Back'.
According to the legend, Amynasus is a god of beauty born after the War of the Ancients. Different from the untraceable ancient gods in the human kingdom, as a god born after the War of the Ancients, Amy Although Minases lacks divine power, he is believed by many young girls because of his teachings.
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged beautiful woman with a fair neck, and the pearl pendants on her ears are very eye-catching. After seeing Bai Ling, she recognized her, and said with a smile on her face: "Miss Bai Ling, come to see your ice elf fox again." ?"
"Enn!"
Bai Ling nodded excitedly.
The boss quickly took out a cage from the back of the store, and inside it was a small snow-white fox, completely white and spotless, looking at Bai Ling and Lei Luo outside the cage with big smart eyes, looking very pitiful.
The breath the fox breathed seemed extremely cold, and a layer of frost formed on the cage.
"Warcraft!"
Lei Luo recognized at a glance that this fox, which was still in its infancy, was a magical beast with the talent of frost.
"certainly!"
The shop owner looked at Lei Luo, then at Bai Ling, speculated about the relationship between the two, and said with a smile: "This ice elf fox is a highly intelligent and spiritual creature that is rare among monsters. I use it as my medium partner. Not only does it have the wisdom of ordinary spiritual beings, it is not hindered by the speed of the increase of the energy magnetic field, but it also has the characteristics of a monster, so it can be used as one's own combat partner, and it is a rare top-rank among the medium partners chosen by enlightenment scholars!"
After a pause, Lei Luo looked at the little fox in a daze, and the middle-aged beautiful woman played with the cage and said, "Don't look at how pitiful it is now, this little guy is very clever, if you don't pay attention, he will run away and disappear."
"I won't run."
The little fox actually spoke. It was the innocent voice of a little human girl. He looked at Lei Luo in the cage and said pitifully, "Hold me, I'm so cold..."
"Forehead?"
Lei Luo was stunned, and he would not be easily fooled.
Bai Ling withdrew his gaze from Binghu, reluctantly said: "I have already paid you one hundred and sixty gold coins, and there are still forty gold coins left, but I can't give it to you today. This is my new junior brother. He prepared a meeting ceremony."
"So it's a new junior brother, I really need to prepare a greeting gift!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman took back the cage and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's really not easy for you, a little girl, to save more than a year's pocket money one after another. I will take good care of this ice elf for you." Fox, with it as your medium partner, you will surely pass the graduation examination!"
"Enn!"
Bai Ling was full of anticipation and nodded excitedly.
Lei Luo also learned some information from the conversation between the two. It turned out that Senior Bai Ling had saved money here for more than a year in order to buy this ice elf fox as her media partner, and it was still a little short.
Two hundred gold coins
Such a huge amount of money is indeed an unimaginable amount for Lei Luo!
But if you think about it from another angle, the scholars who can come to the academy for further study are generally nobles from all over the world. In this way, such a high consumption is not a problem.
Moreover, the so-called pocket money that Bailing asked Gu Bo for today was to prepare a meeting gift for himself
Bai Ling stood in front of the shop, his eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of some good idea, he smiled strangely and said, "That's right! Just scare the bottle!"
The female boss understood, and also showed a weird smile.
"It's only you, a mischievous senior sister, who thinks of giving something like this to my junior brother!"
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged beautiful woman took out a palm-sized dark green hand bottle and handed it to Bai Ling, who then took out a purse and handed it a handful of silver coins to the other party.
"Thank you!"
With a smile on his face, Bai Ling led Lei Luo out of the shop.
"Hee hee, Junior Brother, you sure don't know the function of this scare bottle, it's fun, I'll show you later!"
It was getting late, and the days in early spring were very short.
Bai Ling naturally took Lei Luo's hand and said excitedly: "Senior Brother Wushuang is almost here, come on, come with me to see mother and Senior Brother Wushuang!"
