In November, the northern region surrounded by mountains was not as cold as expected.
Hesia sat in the dormitory, looking at the slightly gloomy sky outside. The potted plants on the windowsill were shaking in the wind, and the tiny leaves looked particularly petite against the gray sky.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has spent the winter on the ground, experiencing the transition from autumn to winter. She has always lived underground where the temperature does not change much in the four seasons. It is only when it snows that her parents take her to the ground to play. Snow, running around.
Wrapping her hands around her knees, feeling a little chilly, Hesia walked to the bedroom, took a thin blanket and covered her legs, and then leaned on the back of the chair to read a book.
Compared to delving into complex economic and financial knowledge at Edes Academy, learning about the habits of various birds and the raising of extraordinary animals at Toite Academy has become a kind of leisure and relaxation.
The pictures printed in the book are clear and bright, and birds of various colors and some accompanying animals are also interspersed with explanations. I am curious how the authors observed these things and then summarized them into records.
Heshia learned these with great interest while touching the big spider that ran into her arms. This guy seemed to be more peaceful recently. It might be that winter is coming.
The sun gradually rose, and the slanting sunlight slid from one corner of the balcony to the middle, slowly becoming brighter. Then there was a chirping sound, and it seemed that the three little ducks had woken up.
After putting down the book, Heshia also thought it was time to go out for a walk, so she stretched out, walked to the balcony, took out the three ducklings in the grid, and then stretched out her wrist so that the indigo snake could crawl along it. Come up.
In this way, with the fishing rod and fishing gear ready, she opened the door of the house and set off towards Xiangye Lake.
One of the tasks given to her by the academy is almost completed. Now she has caught 16 different kinds of fish, only a few special ones are missing.
On weekend mornings, the grass on the roadside is still mixed with water and dew. When you walk past, you can feel the coolness.
Along the way, Heshia could see many seniors passing by. Some were carrying giant bears as tall as people, some were riding flaming red horses, and some were flying through the sky on birds. It can be said that they all showed their magical powers.
Most of the people who walk like her are in first grade. The little animals in their arms are usually still in the growth stage and are not strong enough to support their owners.
"Is Hesia going to the lake to go fishing?" A familiar voice made the girl stop.
Agnes, the monitor of the girl's class, happened to meet her at this moment. There was a brown and gray goat at her feet. The fur was clean and slightly fluffy. It seemed that the owner had bathed and cleaned it frequently.
"Hey~" Seeing Hesia, the little goat also barked, and then continued to stay next to Agnes.
Natural Sequence 3·Palm Sheep, named after its hair is similar to palm tree fibers, but is softer than real palm. However, as an extraordinary animal, its fur is extremely tough. It will not burn easily when encountering high temperatures. In the distant past, locals even made armors from its wool, which was light and durable.
"Yes, I'm going to go fishing at Xiangye Lake, and I'll also take the three little guys to swim." As she said that, the girl stepped aside, revealing the three little ducks that had been following her.
These three guys were very courageous. When they saw the goat opposite, they did not run away. Instead, they walked over carelessly and staggeringly, chattering around and watching the goat.
"The ducks raised by Hesia are so big. The three ducks I have recently raised in the small pond on the canopy are not very willing to come with me." Agnes said, shaking her head.
Although Cole Duck is still a relative, he is a small animal after all, and sometimes he cannot understand the meaning of humans very well. There are actually only a few people like Heshia who can bring him out easily.
"Let's take a walk together. It just so happens that I'm taking the lamb for a walk right now."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards Xiangye Lake together. Along the way, they talked about things in class and the new things they had encountered recently.
"In the first grade, we were mostly exposed to ordinary animals, such as raising ducks. In the second grade, we started to learn how to raise extraordinary animals." Agnes said what she knew.
"I did a lot of research before coming to Yuanting. I was also born in North District 1, so I know it quite well."
"What about third grade? What do you start studying?"
"In the third grade, I started to explore the direction of my specialization." Agnes lightly pressed her chin with her finger and turned her head to reflect.
"For example, the 'Pet Master' who specializes in cultivating extraordinary pets, such as the 'Amber Parrot', 'Light Cotton Bird' and 'Emerald Crow' bred by Yuanting, is not only famous in Jade Skirt, but also among the top ones in the entire federation. "
"Or, you can also develop in the direction of 'pet doctor'. Because of scarcity, it is more popular than ordinary doctors."
"In addition, you can also take a relatively rare academic route and become a powerful 'zoologist' or 'explorer.' Every year, the federal government provides subsidies to those who contribute to this field. However, this path must at least obtain a university certificate. You can only really get in touch with us after you get your diploma, so it’s still a little early.”
"Of course, the most famous one is the 'breeder'. Compared to the 'pet master', they will go one step further and learn and specialize in the breeding of at least one type of extraordinary animal. The expertise I am talking about is to cultivate extraordinary animals to at least Sequence 5. As mentioned above, even among the students of Yuantei Academy, less than half can obtain the training teacher qualification certificate upon graduation. Many people often need to accumulate for several years after graduation before they can slowly touch the threshold of training teachers."
"Okay, these are more official statements, which are a bit boring for the sake of accuracy. We, the students of Yuantei Academy, are often called 'bird breeders' in the federal breeding community. They are named after the thousands of flying birds they can control. "
"It's just that because of the decline of Feng Yuan Courtyard, this name has become less famous in the past hundred years."
As they talked, the two came to the lake. Heshia drove the three ducklings into the water and let them swim in it and try to catch food, while she sat on the shore to fish and continued to chat with Agnes. chat. At this time, the conversation between the two senior students moved from far to near, which caught their attention.
"It's been a while since we've played together, Terry." A tall and thin boy wore a black jacket and trousers with a white shirt underneath.
"Haha, are your hands itchy? o(*￣︶￣*)o."
The boy opposite him is also dressed the same, but is extra fat.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's have a competition today."
"No problem, but I have to wait for a while for my big gannet to come back." The fat boy waved his hand.
"OK."
Afterwards, the two walked towards the lake, seemingly planning to have a duel on the lake. Just when Hesia and Agnes were thinking about whether to avoid it, a whirring sound of flapping wings came from above their heads.
"Okay, my big gannet is here, where's yours?" The fat boy touched the gannet (pelican) that was almost as tall as him. The main body of its feathers was white, but there were gray parts on the edges of its wings. It looks like it should be a variant of some extraordinary animal.
"It's not easy." As he said that, the tall and lanky boy opposite took out his whistle and blew, and five black dots fell straight down from the sky, then flapped their wings and hovered behind him.
Blade Sequence 4: Black and White Crested Cuckoo, this bird's head and back are soft black, but its belly and the bottom of its wings are completely white, with lively black eyes.
Different from the battle between ordinary extraordinary beings, breeders have always believed in defeating the few with more. Just like high-level extraordinary beings can use various weapons and equipment to increase their strength, breeders also often cultivate multiple extraordinary animals. Your own helper.
Before graduating from high school, he already had five slasher sequence 4 animal companions. This boy was already a very good student in Toyoi Academy. No wonder he was so confident just now.
"Where are you? Don't tell me that you have only cultivated this gannet in the past year." Looking at the fat boy from across the way, he still didn't waver and asked a little mockingly.
"Haha, you'll find out later." The fat boy didn't pay attention. As he spoke, the crested cuckoos and gannets from both sides flew into the sky above the lake. After some preparation, the battle began.
Compared to the larger gannets, the five crested cuckoos are extremely agile in their movements. Their 'flying' skill rating may be above Lv. 5. At the beginning, they did not swarm together, but acted separately. First, they Two are attacking and testing, while the other three are watching the battle, waiting for opportunities.
Two black and white figures quickly swept across the lake, and then attacked the gannets like scissors, with a faint glimmer of light emerging from the edges of the wings, which were extremely sharp.
In terms of sharp cutting, the Blade Sequence has always been the best. The magic power of this sequence is also very efficient in converting attacks. With the Blade Sequence 4 going all out, even other extraordinary beings in Sequence 5 must avoid it. It has its edge, but there are also shortcomings. Although the magic power is extremely efficient, the method is very simple. Without assistance, it is easy to fall into trouble.
The two cuckoos cut and crossed the gannets, bringing up large pieces of feathers and even traces of blood. Although the gannets still flew steadily, they still suffered a lot.
Somewhat puzzled by this, the tall and thin boy shook his head slightly and waved again, so the two crested cuckoos turned back from the air again, swooped down, and turned into two intertwined gray lines.
Compared to the other party's relaxed and carefree attitude, the fat boy was attentive at this moment, staring closely at the crested cuckoo swooping down from high in the sky. It was not until the two parties got closer and closer that he suddenly shouted.
"Open your mouth!"
The big gannet opened its wide mouth as hard as it could, and an invisible sound wave spread. Even Hesia and Agnes, who were far apart, felt a sudden tightness in their chests and a feeling of breathlessness, and in the sky The two crested cuckoos that were flying rapidly faced the impact from a closer distance. Their flight trajectory suddenly changed, and they missed the gannet and fell into the lake.
When the two crested cuckoos fell into the water, the gannet also plunged into the water, using its wings and feet to chase the two crested cuckoos underwater, and soon swallowed one with its big mouth, while the other one was also in danger.
Compared with gannets, which live in water all year round, crested cuckoos are birds that live in forests and mountains for a long time. They are not good at fighting in water. After their feathers get wet in the water, their speed and agility quickly drop. Even if they struggle during the period, they are still Swallowed by a gannet.
The huge bag was shaking, and the two crested cuckoos inside were struggling. After a while, under the instructions of the fat boy, the gannet loosened its beak and released the two guys.
"Hmph." The tall and thin boy snorted coldly, let the two crested cuckoos fall next to him, indicating his exit, and then continued to command the three remaining crested cuckoos.
With the previous lessons learned, the three crested cuckoos are obviously much more cautious. They still attack the gannets in a staggered manner, but they will not attack together, and will deliberately avoid certain directions to prevent themselves from falling into the water.
Even if a crested cuckoo is stunned by the gannet's sound wave, its companions will immediately support it and hit the gannet's head hard so that it cannot easily bite its teammates, and then fight back.
After staggering like this several times, the giant gannet began to fall into a disadvantage. Although the crested cuckoo was smaller in size, it was still at a disadvantage with one against three.
"This is the only way." The fat boy looked at the battle situation above the lake, nodded, and then gave instructions.
Soon, during another confrontation, the gannet opened its big mouth again. Just when the three crested cuckoos thought it was going to use a sonic attack and avoided it, several fiery red shadows flew out of the mouth, attacking the three close at hand. A crested cuckoo attacks.
Natural Sequence 3· Fire Tit, with mainly red feathers supplemented by gray and black. It is only about the size of a thumb, but it flies very fast and has a sharp black beak.
Suddenly, it was besieged by more than a dozen flaming tits. The crested cuckoo was a little busy, and its wings were ignited by the high-temperature flames of the flaming tits. For a while, the gannet found an opportunity to drag one into the water and swallowed one.
"Avoid!" In desperation, the tall and lanky boy opposite shouted loudly, while the two crested cuckoos flew close to the water in all directions, stirring up some water droplets and extinguishing the few smoky flames on their bodies.
It went straight up into the wind again, but the Fire Titmouse behind it was obviously unable to keep up with its speed, and was soon left behind.
After entering the high altitude, the two black and white crested cuckoos rested for a while, and then swooped down. After losing the cover of the surprise attack, more than a dozen flaming tits in the air were swept down by the cut silver wings, falling like stones, and some even He was also cut and had some blood stains.
In fact, this is the result of the black and white crested cuckoos withdrawing their power. After all, it is Sequence 4, and it is also a blade-slicing sequence with extremely high attack power. If they go all out, these fire-thorned tits will definitely die on the spot.
Without the help of this group of teammates, only the slow-flying gannet was left to fight alone. Although it was very sturdy, it could not withstand high-altitude and high-speed cuts again and again. In the end, it could only go into the water to avoid the battle, leaving the crested cuckoo in the air. There is no good way.
Sharp blades that tore through the air shot into the water, causing some splashes, but they quickly dissipated and were unable to cause any harm to the rough-skinned and thick-bodied gannets.
"In the end, it evolved into this." The tall and thin boy opposite shook his head. He thought that the fat boy would have more backbone and develop new extraordinary animals and tactics.
"This time it's a draw again." In the end, the two had to end the temporary battle and leave each other.
The battle just now attracted a lot of onlookers unknowingly. When the two protagonists left, various voices of discussion also came.
"It's Zhehao (the tall and thin boy) and Anbot (the fat boy) from the fourth grade. They are old rivals."
"Zhehao is very powerful. He has already trained five black and white crested cuckoos.",
"It is said that he just prepared suitable eggs for hatching and selected more than 500 of them. Although the crested cuckoos that hatched were extraordinary animals, most of them stopped at Sequence 2, and only a small part entered Sequence 3. Then he went from Among the more than forty Sequence 3s, five Sequence 4s have been trained. If one of these five can advance to Sequence 5 before graduation, he will be able to obtain the breeder qualification certificate."
"40 to 5, this success rate is very high. No wonder many teachers are optimistic about him."
"This is what a breeder is like. Behind every powerful extraordinary partner, there must be countless eliminations of the same kind. If every one he cultivates can advance, he will definitely be a person who can be recorded in history."
"Are you ready? Become the strongest 'bird breeder', the son of the kite that conquers the sky."
"Ready!" After saying that, several first-year students were in high spirits, proud and lively, cheering and running into the distance.
The laughter in the distance made Hesia and Agnes, who were sitting by the lake, smile. Although they would not be so crazy and middle-aged, there were waves of expectations and prospects in their hearts.
What kind of strong partners will your future self cultivate?
The human world is too complex, and the more prosperous the society, the easier it is for people to feel lonely. After experiencing the loss of the fifth era, many people began to fall in love with simple-minded and loyal animal companions. The helper has also become a companion in life, allowing some lonely people to continue walking.
It is also because of the above reasons that cultivators, who did not receive much attention in the past, have developed rapidly in the Sixth Era. With the research and investment of countless people and technology, this originally abandoned path has slowly transformed. It has to open up, and the 'Tree of Life Sect' that the cultivators believe in is slowly spreading across the Federation.
Even though the Twilight Era has long ended, several major factions born in that era have still been passed down. To this day, there are still countless successors of its spirit and will, fighting and arguing with each other, arguing about who is the real way out for human civilization. .
Inheriting the will of the "Machine Council", the Sigma Council is composed of AI, machinery, electronics, and synthetic humans.
Inheriting the bloodline of the 'Deep Sea United', it sometimes appears and sometimes disappears in the deep sky. It has no country, but its footsteps are all over the galaxy, and even a wandering fleet in unknown distances.
A special group of people who hide the idea of "retrospective cloud" and lurk among various countries and races as recorders.
Inheriting the will of the "original heart" and relying on spiritual understanding and union to form the holy white melody of a powerful political system.
Representing the spirit of the 'Tree of Life Sect', it has the most races, the widest star field, and the most possible Rose Federation.
The children of the earth in the past, after walking out of the cradle, went their separate ways again and took different paths.
