The exams at Tobita Academy are here.
In a tall building shaped like a giant ring, half embedded in the mountain and half exposed outside the mountain, students are taking intense written exams. Through the transparent glass window, they can overlook most of the canyon and the school scenery. However, this time the students They were not in the mood to see the scenery.
Most of the people in the classroom were concentrating on answering questions, and you could hear subtle rustling sounds. The clean polished stone floor of the lightsaber was like a mirror, and you could hear a pin drop.
Time passed minute by minute, and after an hour and a half, the end bell rang. At this time, the students put down their pens and waited for the self-discipline unit to be rolled up and packaged.
"Phew, the exam is finally over." After walking out of the classroom, Mel breathed a sigh of relief, then stamped his feet, looked around, and finally spotted the gray-haired girl in the crowd.
She wanted to raise her hand and call Hesia, but she couldn't open her mouth. In the end, she chose to walk to her quickly.
"How did Hesia do on the exam?"
"It's okay, where's Mel?"
"Hmm, I guess it's a bit difficult to get an A-level evaluation." Her grades have always been good, but she can't be said to be top-notch.
"That's pretty good too."
The girl smiled, and then the two of them walked side by side in the circular staircase. There is no elevator in this building, only the inner circular staircase. The overall style is very grand. 30 people can walk side by side in the circular staircase. When there are few people in the corridor, You can also hear the echo of your own footsteps.
Although it looks tall and majestic from the outside, there are only seven floors in total. Each floor is supported by huge pillars, just like a building used by giants. Walking in it gives people a sacred and spacious feeling, and the inner wall of the dome There are also various murals depicting many historical scenes from the first to the fourth era, giving people a profound and distant atmosphere.
It is said that this 'seven-story tower' was built in the early days of Jade Skirt. At that time, the Federation was only established for more than 200 years. Some elves had even experienced the years before the founding of the country. The thoughts in the entire Federation were not yet completely unified. People who were originally scattered on various planets Among the ancient factions, there are still many nostalgia for the past era, and large-scale buildings are also popular among them for the purpose of engraving history and recreating the great miracles.
Because of the darkness and destruction of the Fifth Age, people who have passed through that era have a strong crisis of death, so they will be eager to leave something behind while they are alive. This may be doctrines, books, works, or that The huge scrolls, buildings, etc. that make people forget.
When people face huge buildings, sculptures, or murals, they are often shocked by the grandeur of the work and the scene that fills the field of vision with no residual light, which brings a stronger impact, so it will also feel like death in a very small moment. And the feeling of no regrets.
Thanks to this impulse and ethos, many famous giant buildings and works were born in that era, and this 'seven-story tower' was just a grain of sand in that era.
But now this custom and spirit have dispersed for a long time, so people can only get a glimpse of the spiritual outlook of the people of that era in these remaining ancient buildings.
"The exam is over, can Hesia go watch the 'Frozen Green Festival' with me?" Mel said.
The "Frozen Green Festival" is a celebration held simultaneously during the league of the ten northern schools. In the beginning, there was no such celebration, but after several sessions, teachers and students from all parties felt that it was important to bring together students from all the northern schools. , just watching the competition is still too monotonous, so there is a "Frozen Green Festival" held simultaneously, that is, each school will set up its own stalls and locations at the venue, which will provide their own unique services and sell goods. , there are also activities for socializing and playing together, etc. It is considered the most lively season for schools in the north.
"Okay, but a friend also invited me to go with him before..." Hexia felt a little embarrassed, because Yilin also told her about this before, and the two made an appointment to go to the 'Frozen Green Festival' together.
Originally, before coming to school, the two of them said that they would meet and get together frequently, but due to various delays, they did not meet much this semester, so Yilin said that she would take advantage of this "Frozen Green Festival" to have a good time with Hirsch. Ya play.
"Ah, who is it? Does Hesia have any other good friends?" Mel was a little jealous. Although she often followed Hesia, she was still preempted by others.
"She was my classmate when I was a child. She also came to study in North District 1." The girl explained.
"It turns out we are classmates in elementary school. No wonder, I often hang out with my childhood classmates, many of whom we went to junior high school with." Mel was immediately relieved, as long as he was not a boy, it would be fine. Heshia was chased away by a boy or something. It's so scary.
"Then let's get together later, and I'll introduce it to you." He said that, but Heshia always felt a little strange in her heart.
We are obviously making normal friends, but I feel a sense of inexplicable guilt and guilty conscience. Let’s forget about it for the time being.
Three days later, in the North District, Huilong Grottoes.
Between the tall mountains and green forests, large grottoes are shuttled one after another, like the traces left by giant dragons swimming in the mountains. These large grottoes are often nearly a hundred meters wide and can accommodate airplanes inside. There are also often words on one side of the wall. There is a tram track, and vehicles pass through and stop at it from time to time, and students wearing different clothes get off.
"This is the scene of the 'Frozen Green Festival'. The stalls and tents set up below are arranged by the clubs under each academy."
A third-year senior sister with a rope tag led the way, and then introduced the situation of the venue to Heshia and other first-year freshmen.
"The 'Frozen Green Festival' is held in three locations every year, and this is one of them. It is also the venue of Huilongji Academy."
"The predecessor of Huilongji Academy is the ancient temple in this mountain cave. The temple is a faction that specializes in the original sequence. It once produced a 'Master Panquan' who was very famous in the local area. Later, in order to adapt to the changes of the times, the temple An academy has also been built to recruit students to inherit what the sect has learned, but they only enroll a small number of students each year, only 100, and it is more of a part of the temple."
"It covers a large area and has sufficient space, so this place was selected as one of the venues to host the league. Huilong Temple also agrees with this, because the league can also bring popularity and tourism development here." A senior student led the students out of the station and headed towards the stands.
"Here we are, you can overlook some of the venues from here." As she said that, she pointed to the neat and beautiful 'venues' below.
To say they are stall tents is too crude a description. These 'venues' are boxy and neat. They are supported by high-strength metal brackets inside and can accommodate thousands of people, while the tough fabric outside is stretched. It is tight, showing various shapes and patterns. Students from various schools are constantly coming and going in and out of it, which is very lively.
"The 'venue' of our Tobita Academy is in the grotto to the east. The projects and things inside are probably familiar to everyone, so I suggest that it would be more interesting for you to visit the 'venues' of other schools." Wine red wrapped around the shoulders. The slender-haired senior gave the suggestion with a smile, and then told everyone the gathering time, and then let the freshmen go shopping on their own.
"Wow, you look so awesome." Some students couldn't wait to lie down on the fence next to the stands and look down after the group was dismissed.
"This is my first time coming to the Frozen Green Festival. I had only heard about it occasionally from my seniors before."
"You didn't go to school in North District 1 before, so that's true. In fact, many students in North District 1, even if they are not students from one of the ten schools, will come to the 'Frozen Green Festival'. The organizer also encourages this. Here There are forty or fifty venues, large and small, all built by different schools, although most of them cannot participate in the ten-school league." Several students discussed the venue information.
"Hesia, where is your friend? Do you want us to meet up first?" Mel was wearing a fitted dark red winter skirt today, with a folded gray cloth scarf on her shoulders, and he was holding her in his hand. My favorite gray moon cat has grown up a lot compared to when I started school. Its overall fur is gray, with only white fur on its four legs and abdomen.
"Let me ask where you are." Heshia nodded, and then took out her personal terminal to contact. In the shadow at her feet, a big spider looked around curiously. It didn't go out much, but if Heshia When Ya goes to fun places, it will always follow her.
"Hiss." When the big spider saw a green-feathered crane flying on the ceiling of the cave, it was so frightened that it hid behind Hesia.
Natural Sequence 5· Emerald-feathered crane, an extraordinary creature that lives in forests and mountains, likes to eat poisonous insects, snakes and frogs. Its beak and feathers are as sharp as swords, and it is extremely resistant to poison. Its down is ground into powder, which is a good anti-toxic agent. Poison material.
"You will have a scary day too." The girl bent down, touched the big spider, and then picked it up.
Seeing the big blue-black spider that suddenly became invisible, Mel turned pale with fright and jumped away in a hurry, almost losing the gray moon cat in her hand. After Heshia calmed the big spider, she relaxed After taking a breath, it seemed that this big spider was not wild but raised by the girl.
"Huh, how could Hesia have such a scary partner? I never knew before." She stroked her chest, but still didn't dare to get close.
"This one was adopted by accident. In fact, its original owner was not me, but because we met while working in that store, he kept following me and gradually became familiar with it." Put the big spider on the stone pillar of the guardrail. The girl put her hand on its plush back and stroked it gently, and then knocked the big spider on the head as usual.
Seeing that the big spider was very obedient, Mel felt relieved a little, slowly approached it, and squatted in front to take a closer look.
"Is this the wolf spider from the Withering Sequence 4, so obedient~"
"I also have a very powerful partner at home, but my grandma won't let me take him out, saying that I'm still young and too weak. If I can't control myself after I take him out, it will be bad if an accident happens." Mel said with some pity. , and rubbed his cheek with the gray moon cat in his hand.
"I still like cats the most. Although it is not very powerful now, it will grow up with me." Mel said, raising the gray moon cat high in his hand.
"Meow~"
Under the high dome light, the little gray moon cat grew taller in the lens, blocking the light above its head, as if it were surrounded by holy light, and then there was a slight click, etching the moment in time.
"It's done, Mel." Hesia held up the personal terminal in her hand and waved.
"Did you take a picture just now? Hey." Mel was a little surprised, but very happy, and asked Heshia for photos.
Afterwards, the two of them started touring the venue, one holding the cat and the other following the invisible giant spider at his feet.
First, he walked down from the stands, down to the ground inside the cave, and then passed by various lively decorated 'venues'.
"This is the venue of the Renhong Porcelain Academy. Their academy is famous for its porcelain skills~" Mel grew up in the North 1st District. She is familiar with these academies.
"Let's go in and take a look first. Yilin will be here in a moment." Hesia nodded, and the two of them walked into the tall venue.
The first thing that comes into view is the high-hanging red fish wind chime. These red carp-like porcelain pieces are strung together like lanterns, scattered high and low in the venue. They occasionally collide with each other, making a crisp and sweet sound.
Below is a large clear pool. There are various exquisite porcelains placed high and low in the pool, and a lotus leaf path winds through the pool. Some of the glazes on these porcelains are pure and clear, and some are painted with Exquisite patterns, some depicting various scenes and patterns, include ancient palace scenes, billowing smoke from the industrial era, starry sky constellations, various animated characters, similar impression oil paintings, and translucent technological styles. There is also a white jade smoke cage, which is particularly beautiful.
Some of the porcelains are placed at the bottom of the water, with water constantly gushing out of the mouth of the bottle, some forming fountains, and some are placed in the hands of statues, with the mouth of the bottle tilted, and water flowing continuously in it.
In the center of the pool, on the lotus platform with red stripes and white porcelain, a beautiful girl dressed as a witch is dancing. Her clear white clothes are embroidered with red birds and green jade branches, gently swimming along with the girl's dance. Swaying, attracting the attention of everyone in the venue.
When the snow-white sleeves slowly drooped, the eyes with light pink makeup were revealed behind the sleeves, and then the other hand was slowly revealed from behind the sleeves, holding a small fire lotus porcelain vase in its palm. The bottom of the bottle is bright and clear in color, while the mouth of the bottle is translucent, like ruby.
The pair of white jade slender hands gently held the porcelain bottle, and then as the body rotated gently, the same rotating ripples appeared on the water surface all around. These ripples slowly rose up, forming six circling currents.
As the gorgeous dance progressed, the figure of the miko girl became fixed, and the porcelain bottle in her hand was held up high. Then the six streams of water continuously gathered in it and were absorbed by the small porcelain bottle.
In this way, a few seconds later, the girl's dance steps rotated again, and the water flow also rotated and surrounded her body. The water droplets fell little by little, sparkling under the light, like a beautiful scene passed down from generation to generation.
Finally, the girl's performance ended. She stood on the lotus platform, holding a bottle in one hand and stretching out the other. Her red bird and jade branch witch costume was still clean and bright, without any water droplets on it.
