The surrounding trees are getting taller and taller, at least hundreds of years old.
Occasionally, a few beast howls came from the depths of the forest, and then disappeared quickly. Lei Luo, who was traveling alone, was not frightened by the strange environment, and played with the redbud badge in his hand.
Metal badge, the redbud flower comes to life.
The strange thing is that after buying this metal badge, it is not cold at all, and I don't know what material it is made of.
The Grand Duchy Academy of Natural Sciences, also known as the Grand Royal Institute of Science, is generally a place where very few nobles in the Grand Duchy go to study.
The so-called magician is the profession formed by these nobles after graduating from the academy.
However, magician is just a name for commoners. Out of awe of unknown power, nobles prefer to call themselves scholars, just like the great magister who burned to death in front of Aurora Bright Cathedral hundreds of years ago , he claimed to be a scholar who studies the universe and celestial bodies.
According to the description of "The Upanishads of Evolution" published by Antonio, scholars have completed the enlightenment stage in various colleges. After graduation, they will decide whether they can obtain the degree certificates of natural scholars based on their grades. academician.
Generally speaking, obtaining the degrees of Royal Academicians from various countries is the lifelong pursuit of all scholars, and it is the forefront of human exploration of natural knowledge.
As for pioneers, only three were born in human history. The birth of each pioneer will open up a new field of knowledge research for human beings. Bring wisdom enlightenment.
In the eyes of scholars, these three-dimensional pioneers are almost equivalent to "gods". They belong to the existence of legends and are paid the highest respect. Their academics even broke through the country, and they are admired by scholars from other colleges.
However, the conditions for becoming a scholar are extremely harsh.
In this era, the vast majority of common people do not even have the opportunity to read and write their names, and can only sign contracts with fingerprints. For ordinary people, the most important thing is to follow the priest to pray to the God of Light. I never thought of learning such a noble thing.
As for the students who want to become students of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the major principalities, except for a very few like Lei Luo who try to enter the academy through the contribution badge, the vast majority of students must pass the professional basic assessment before enrolling.
In this way, only those nobles who have inherited family knowledge will learn knowledge.
As for wealthy businessmen
Merchants are more willing to go to the church and donate gold coins to the church in exchange for a title of nobility, which can be used to build social relationships and earn more gold coins. It is rare to hear of anyone who will go to the Academy of Natural Sciences to study.
After all, according to traditional etiquette, even the succession to the throne of the major duchies needs to be recognized by the pope of the Cathedral of Light in Aurora. In this way, in the eyes of ordinary people, the status of those so-called royal academicians is far inferior to that of the major duchies. The bishops of the church come in a high and holy way.
Therefore, in the minds of ordinary people, magicians are equivalent to nobles who learn traditional knowledge, elegant, rich, knowledgeable, powerful, and mysterious.
With various thoughts, Lei Luo put away the bauhinia badge and took out the star core necklace to observe carefully.
After this winter, Lei Luo has already become familiar with the function of this star core necklace, and now there is no one around, Lei Luo started to play with it.
"Dididi! Discovered: Coniferous subfamily species."
Lei Luo tried to distinguish the soil under his feet again.
"Beep beep! No valuable substance was found."
After playing with it for a while, Lei Luo didn't get all the information his father said before he died. After analyzing the beast with the blood of a monster, he got tired of playing and put the necklace away again.
It was getting dark.
The dusk in the forest comes earlier than outside, and the temperature drops quickly. For inexperienced people, the forest at night is very dangerous. In, to devour the lonely traveler.
After tightening the animal fur coat, Lei Luo stopped, took out the simple tent from the wooden box behind him, chewed the dried meat, and found branches and dry grass.
"What's this!"
Suddenly, a black strange insect crawled out of the dead leaves, startling Lei Luo.
This black monster was about the size of a palm, with light green fluorescent tentacles shining on the edge of the black carapace, as if to warn Lei Luo. Taking advantage of Lei Luo's surprise for a short moment, the monster disappeared into the dense forest at an extremely fast speed.
When he came back to his senses, Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the years, I have often heard my father talk about some strange things in the Magic Eagle Forest. The strange insects that I have never heard of are sometimes even more dangerous than those magical beasts. Although this strange insect does not know what kind it is, it does not seem to be fierce. escaped.
It's a pity that the monster escaped too fast, and didn't have time to distinguish it with the star core necklace.
Without time to delay, Lei Luo continued to get busy.
After collecting enough firewood and fallen leaves, he took out the flint and lit the flame, and the temperature increased significantly. Lei Luo was relieved, took out the animal repellent and sprinkled some around the tent, looked up and looked around, the sky was dark , can only see the shadow of the last ray of the setting sun shining on the canopy.
da da da da...
At this moment, there was a loud sound of horseshoes in the distance, and for a while Lei even thought it was his own illusion.
Lei Luo often heard from his father that some man-eating trees in the depths of the Magic Falcon Forest could even imitate the cry of a baby to attract human visits and prey on them. Just thinking about it makes people creepy.
"There is someone in front!"
Lei Luo raised the torch nervously, and he was relieved when he heard the voice of a rough man. Even if he was a robber, he really had nothing to rob.
Under Lei Luo's gaze, four knights in metal armor escorted a carriage slowly approaching.
The knights were tall and burly, and stopped beside Lei Luo.
The leading knight showed a pair of sharp eyes under his metal helmet. He sized up Lei Luo condescendingly, looked around to make sure there was no danger in ambush, and then turned to the carriageway behind him: "Master Aoun, it's getting dark, let's rest nearby."
A tender white palm lifted the curtains of the carriage, and it was a young nobleman who was about the same age as Lei Luo, who looked at Lei Luo curiously.
"Where are you from? Where are you going alone?"
Curiously looking away from these well-equipped knights, Lei Luo looked at this noble young master who was similar to his own age, and slightly saluted: "I am from the small town of Agate Lake, my name is Lei Luo, and I plan to go to Fort St. Take a rest here when it gets dark."
From the opened curtains, Lei Luo could see the soft crystal lights and exquisite decorations inside the carriage, and he was envious from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you going to St. Granburg too? You call me Aoun. I am from the town of Walsau in the south of the principality. I am a scholar who studies the laws of nature. I am going to sign up for the freshmen of the School of Natural Sciences in St. Granburg. Hehe, we happen to be Drop by, I can take you for a ride tomorrow."
The noble young master looked easy to deal with, and he didn't discriminate against Lei Luo because of his civilian status. He turned to the knight guards in front and said, "Then rest here tonight."
"good!"
The four knights dismounted one after another, took off their helmets, and revealed their true colors.
In addition to the three well-built men, there was actually a woman in her twenties with a bow and arrow on her back. After taking off the bow and arrow lightly, she and three male knights set up a tent beside the fire next to Lei Luo.
