winter is here.
The snow fell quietly, and the fine snowflakes and ice crystals gathered together fluffy, floated down from the sky, and fell into this slightly quiet world.
In Emenas College, a new Winter Festival Gala is about to be ushered in. This year, which student will win a good place in the competition and become the envy of everyone.
Wearing a scarf and gloves, the third-year student Rosatina stomped her feet in front of the steps, shaking off the snowflakes from her body, before entering this warm hall.
In the castle by the lake, the ancient alchemy circle was still running, bringing bursts of warmth and gradually soothing the originally tense face.
Rosatina carried her square schoolbag, put it on the side of the bench, sat down for a while, then put down the hood on her head, untied her gloves and blew her somewhat stiff hands.
Although she is already an extraordinary person, she is still a little uncomfortable facing the cold for a long time. It's okay to use magic to warm the body, but it also takes energy, it's like doing two things at the same time, and it's easy to get distracted.
So when studying or reading, Rosatina is used to finding a warm place.
In the hall of the castle, many students stayed here, some sat down, some chatted with each other in twos and threes. Although it was lively, it was not noisy, and there was a kind of serenity. The buildings in the hall are also hung with small lanterns that flicker in seven colors. It is said that some kind of alchemy creation is much simpler than the cost and difficulty of manufacturing in the past, so it is also popular today.
These colorful little lamps are not only hung on the empty dome of the hall, but some are also placed among the frozen green branches and leaves. Emerald green frozen blue woven into rings, with hints of crimson berries in them, forms a huge wreath, which is arranged on the wall in the center of the hall.
Looking down along the wall, it is a circular light stage, in which there are no people standing, but the images of the past are played with extraordinary props.
Those past graduates, who used to be genius seniors and seniors, held sharp blades, longbows, musical instruments, etc., in the video or fighting or performing, they passed by one by one. Although there was no sound, they could still be seen from the peerless figure. , imagine the beauty of that era.
After sitting in this warm hall for a while, Rosatina remembered something, and then she opened the schoolbag beside her, took out a purple plaid bear and held it in her arms.
"Huh, finally remembered me?" The puppet bear complained a little, but it was also used to the girl forgetting things.
"Sorry, Mr. Albert, I was too nervous during the previous assessment, and I have never been able to get out of it." Rosatina was talking about her going to participate in the assessment of the 'Black Water Lily' club today.
Although this society has a huge influence in the Walled College, there are not many formal members inside, and more are scattered to the surrounding societies of its subordinates.
"Forget it, looking at you like this, I can probably guess the situation at that time." The little bear moved slightly, exuding a little heat, warming Rosatina's palm.
Feeling the warmth in the plush room, Rosatina smiled lightly. "Thank you, Mr. Bear."
"There's no need for this. In addition, the result has not passed the final round of assessment."
"Well, I passed. Although it was a little difficult, it was fortunate that the vice president recognized me and allowed me to join."
"Is it really difficult to hear you say that?" Albert recalled the past. Wasn't Lorraine very casual at that time, even a child like Lily Yeling who fished in troubled waters could easily come in.
"Yes, it's difficult." Rosatina smiled.
"My family is not rich. If you go to school, it is not bad that the school has subsidies. But if you want to obtain some rare raw materials and resources, it is not easy."
"'Black Water Lily' integrates the 'True Red Rose' of the past, and is now the most powerful club among the students in the city. It receives sponsorships from various parties every year. There are many resources, some new experimental instruments and ingredients, and this club is the only one. There is."
"I remember there are also in the academy. Emenas is very wealthy." Little Bear said about the scenes he saw in the past. At that time, Lorraine often borrowed some instruments and facilities from the academy.
"Yes, but there are too many applicants, and it's always not enough. I'm not a big genius, and I can always succeed in one step." Rosatina rubbed the bear, she wished to spend the whole day in the library and In the laboratory, knowledge is greedily absorbed and practiced and verified. There is an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when that knowledge from the book is turned into reality, and then let her continue to search for the same and similar things, and enjoy it. And such behavior is naturally far beyond the limit of daily student use, so even the college's laboratory can't satisfy her.
"Also, I heard that the students of the 'Black Water Lily' Club will also get preferential treatment for their jobs after graduation." Rosatina said about the news she heard recently.
"Did you know that the current queen of the Canghong Empire was once a graduate of the 'Black Water Lily' club."
"Is there any more?" Albert the puppet bear thought, maybe it was someone he didn't know during his sleep. After all, Loren founded the club for more than ten years.
"Well, it is said that it is still the first generation member, His Majesty Lily Esther."
"Hey, wait, you said it was Lily?" Albert recalled that he was rarely carried to the Walled College by Lorraine, but he only came here a few times, and he knew about Lily's situation.
Although it is a bit cute, it is not outstanding. Compared with other talented members in the club, Lorraine, Bumansa, Wei Miya and others, this one has almost nothing special except for being lazy and cute.
"Does Mr. Albert know?" Rosatina asked curiously.
"I think if she is really a member of the first generation, I probably do know. Why don't you talk about the situation of Her Majesty the Queen." Albert sat in Rosatina's arms, the usually proud The incomparable Muppets also hesitated at the moment.
"His Majesty Lily Esther was born in the southern part of the empire. She is the daughter of a small nobleman. Because she was not taken seriously when she was a child, she has always lived an easy life..." Rosatina said what everyone knows now information.
"First Evolution"
"Okay, okay, I can be sure, it's that Lily." Albert said he didn't need to say any more.
It's incredible, this little bear thought, it has gradually entered the human society, and naturally knows the queen of the empire, how powerful this status symbolizes. What's more, now that the emperor is not there, the power of the queen will only be more prominent.
"What about other people, have you heard of them, such as Bumantha, Wemiya, Eidolon, or a girl named Lorraine?" Albert asked tentatively.
"Is this, I don't seem to have heard of it much."
"Is that so, what about Naretis, Alena, Nya, Kavra?"
"Lerdis seems to have heard of it. She is the master of clothing and alchemy in Crancia. It seems that Alena has heard of it somewhere, but she can't remember it. As for Lord Kavra, I know this, it is the deputy of the Imperial Royal Academy today. Dean, very famous."
"Because I thought at the time, if I can't get into Emenas, I will try my best to go to the Royal Academy, so I inquired a lot about this."
"I didn't expect this person to become a powerful person." The puppet bear remembered that the serious girl who was sitting in the corner and focused on her studies had changed so much
"So, did Mr. Albert stay in the 'Black Water Lily' Club a long time ago?" Rosatina looked at the puppet bear on her lap again and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, but in that era, there was someone in Emenasri who defeated all the clubs and won the most difficult championship of the 'Ten Championships'."
"That era?" Rosatina recalled.
"That was when General Darcy was still in the Academy."
"That's right."
"Who is that, why haven't I heard anyone say it."
"It's estimated that you went to the Temple Academy less. If you go there and ask the teachers of the Academy, the most impressive graduates in the past ten years."
"They must have said that name."
"'The White Nun under the Color Window' Rochelle."
