At night, the cool breeze was like water, and it penetrated into people's hearts calmly and quietly. Under the light of the pale moonlight, Sami only felt that his mind was very clear, and he was much more energetic than during the day when the sun was shining brightly.
But... he still yawned, thinking to himself, sleep is the most suitable thing for such a beautiful night, and this is the greatest enjoyment in life.
The ghost behind him stretched out his right hand, and let it open with a creak before it touched the door.
"Donny, have you filled out the form?" Sammy asked casually as he walked into the dormitory, without any doubts about the answer, because he knew that as long as Donny made up his mind, he would never go back on his word.
"En." A depressed, confused, and listless voice came from the corner, and even the confused Sami could hear something wrong in it, so he looked over in surprise, and saw that the crystal lamp in the bedroom was off, silver white The bright moonlight shines through the glass windows and sprinkles on the desk and bookshelf, staining them with a bright color, while Downey is sitting near the bed, half of his face is bathed in moonlight, and half of his face is hidden in the deep darkness. , looking so depressed and dejected.
"What's going on?" Sami asked in surprise, countless thoughts turned in his head, but they were dismissed one by one.
Downey said in a deep and hoarse voice: "Your Excellency Evans introduced the quantum theory into the field of body structure and genetic factors, viewed life as a whole arcane system, and believed that there is a most basic genetic unit that transfers information to Pass it on to the next generation…”
His description was rigid and dull, like a dream.
"This..." As a leader in the Necromancy Department, Sami keenly sensed the exciting content from this short and inaccurate description, which is a groundbreaking, breakthrough, and guiding theoretical hypothesis, arcane The teachers will be full of enthusiasm for studying this field of life. At the same time, he frowned while being excited and excited, "In this way, don't we have to learn quantum theory in the future? Learn some formulas and equations?"
This is still not playing with the flesh. No, have you studied the necromancy of the body and soul
Downey's expression was half crying and half laughing: "There is no doubt that what you said will become a reality."
"No wonder you..." Sami suddenly understood, looked at Downey sympathetically and said, "You should have filled out the form to find out about this, right?"
Donnie exhaled, "Yes."
Want to choose again. Unless you wait for next year's registration. And his family conditions obviously did not allow him to do so.
"In fact, you can think about it from another angle. Since His Excellency Evans has paid attention to this field, it shows that it has extremely high exploration and research value. With the guidance of His Excellency Evans, a series of groundbreaking, Breakthrough results, investing in this field during this time period, we will gain a lot and get rich returns, just like the Institute of Atoms, due to the crazy development of the microscopic field, two of the main arcanists have been promoted The archmage is gone. The rest are high-ranking magicians with seven or eight rings." Sammy comforted Downey.
Downey's face was cloudy and uncertain, he couldn't speak a few times, and finally merged into a wry smile: "Ha ha."
…
The sunshine in June was as hot as fire, and the examination room of the "Unified Entrance Examination for Advanced Magic Schools" was even hotter, like boiling oil.
Although apprentices who were able to be admitted to elementary magic schools and successfully studied to the fifth grade were considered elites a few decades ago, with the promotion of arcane and magic education. The proportion of such "elites" is increasing year by year, and entering the magic academy basically means that more than 50% of them may become official magicians, and they have jumped from the ordinary people to the upper-class figures of the lord and municipal councilors. And possess knowledge and power, so not only apprentices come to the examination room. Their parents, relatives, and friends also gathered outside the examination room to cheer them on.
In addition, the number of examination rooms is limited, so there are crowds of people here, shoulder to shoulder, and the heat is rising.
"For me, this environment is like a grave." Sammy looked around listlessly. This was the Mills Noble School, one of the examination rooms for the unified entrance examination.
Downey wanted to smile, but found that his facial muscles were a little stiff: "No, for you, the tomb is a good place. It's cold, quiet, and dead. How can it compare to this place."
"You seem a little nervous?" Sammy raised his swollen eyelids and looked at Downey. He has already decided to enter the Heidler Academy of Magic, so he is not worried about the exam. This is just a formality. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Heidler Academy of Magic is, the application will not be able to pass the "Arcane and Magic Education Committee"-this is a newly established committee twenty years ago, under the dual leadership of the Affairs Committee and the Magic Research Committee.
Downey pursed his dry lips and said, "Since I have made a choice, I must go all out. Since I cannot escape, I must bravely face the shadow..."
He answered irrelevant questions, and suddenly, he felt the sun go dark, and the noisy crowd became silent.
"That's it?" Donnie raised his head subconsciously, and saw a silver-gray aircraft floating in mid-air. It was so huge, dozens of times larger than ordinary aircraft, it blocked the sun, and radiated a cold and dreamy metallic light. The overall shape is shuttle-shaped, elegant and slender, and it goes down slowly without shaking.
"Such a large aircraft? And it has completely broken through the limitations of levitation and flight techniques. Its power system must be a miniaturized fission device!" Sammy's eyes widened, looking at this aircraft with great interest, doing "Professional" judgment.
One of the most common dreams of children who grew up after the first year of the Arcane Calendar (the year Viken fell, that is, 830 of the Sacred Calendar) is to have a flying machine of their own. So vulgar and "ugly"!
Therefore, the journal "Aircraft" is extremely popular.
Downey also loves flying machines. He looked at the sky with a slightly relieved tension, and exclaimed, "It must be a small fission device. At least there is no news about the success of a restrained nuclear fusion device... Your Excellency Speaker, Your Excellency Evans, Your Excellency Fernando, Your Excellency Hathaway, Your Excellency Lavindi, Your Excellency Morris, the strongest lineups have not broken through the difficulties that the input is greater than the output or must be restricted by the legendary peak level magic circle... "
"It's definitely not ordinary nobles who can afford small fission devices, not even ordinary nobles..." Sami squinted his eyes and said under the sun. "Hey, why is there no noble coat of arms? Is it intentionally covered?"
Downey took a closer look: "It's not true, but no matter what, it must be a big shot."
The aircraft moved forward slowly and lowered its altitude, and finally stopped at the uninhabited square behind the teaching building. Out of everyone's sight.
"Which gentleman is here to take the exam? Or is it someone with an extraordinary background who is here to take the unified entrance exam?" Sammy looked away. He was in a sluggish state again, and the ghost behind him seemed to merge into his body, so faint that it was almost invisible.
Downey just wanted to answer that he didn't know. The crowd parted at once, and a group of knights in silver-grey armor carried strange dark black backpacks and held barrel-shaped metal spears. They passed by in neat steps.
"It's the Knights of the 'Sword of Truth'!" Donnie noticed that the knights of this team all had a purple crest on their chests, and a crown was wrapped in cloud-like lines, and on both sides of the crown were two handles that symbolized the supreme majesty. scepter and a cold and indifferent long sword. It is like the coat of arms of the Hofenberg family.
Sami was even more surprised and said: "It's the 'Guardian' team! What they carry on their backs is an ultra-small fission device!"
The surrounding crowd became quieter when they heard his words. The 'Guardian' team is an elite team of the 'Sword of Truth' Knights, specializing in guarding missions. Although not most of the members have such terrifying strength as the Sky Knight, but They are all equipped with sub-miniature fission packs and Gauss rifles. The former provides the latter with abundant electric energy and excitation medium, which greatly reduces the requirements for the use of high-level items such as Gauss rifles. Therefore, among the 'Guardian' team, there are even four-level knights. Can also use the Gauss Rifle several times.
"It seems that some important person with a terrifying background has come to take the unified entrance examination..." Downey said with mixed emotions.
And here are all candidates for the Heidler Academy of Magic. After completing the regular subjects in the first three days, they will take additional examinations related to necromancers here.
when!
Qingyang's bell rang, urging the apprentices to enter the examination room.
Downey took a deep breath, exchanged glances with Sammy, and then walked slowly into another teaching building.
…
In a sunny study room.
A young man in a magic robe opened a strange alchemy device the size of a desk with a smile, and saw the sentence "Welcome to artificial intelligence" appearing on the water-screen-like display screen, and then entered the internal interface. There are icons that identify different words.
The young man picked up a pair of metal plates connected to the "artificial intelligence" device, stuck them on his forehead, and clicked on an icon called "Virtual Adventure".
Then, the young man felt that the surrounding bookshelves, desks and sunlight faded away, and a verdant grassland appeared in front of him, and there were strange magical creatures on the grassland.
"Combining illusion and 'artificial intelligence' to develop games is the most exciting achievement in the past five years!" The young man couldn't help but praise again, "It's a pity that the Internet has not yet been rolled out, and 'artificial intelligence' devices are too expensive , There are too few people playing this game, otherwise the fun will be doubled.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure, and saw a red dragon flying over his head, its golden eyes swept over him like looking at ants, making his heart tremble and his legs go weak.
"This, is this Longwei?" The young man felt that his heart was beating very fast, but he was extremely excited. It turned out that Longwei was like this!
Just when his body was still in a rigid state, a spiked bull-shaped monster passed by, its red eyes greedily looked at him, then his body shook, shooting out dozens of spikes with a faint black luster.
"Oops, I was attacked by an Anaki magic cow, and my level will be lowered..." The young man muttered inwardly, and was shot in the heart by a spike.
A burst of unimaginable pain hit him, and he subconsciously thought: "The pain caused by this illusion is really real, it hurts, it hurts!"
He suddenly felt cold and numb all over his body, his heart seemed to have stopped beating, his head was blurred, and his vision gradually darkened.
