As everyone ate and drank, the pudding finally disappeared, and Char stood up again.
"Okay, now everyone is full and full.
Go to rest first, the class will not start immediately.
You have all day tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the school and purchase wands. "
The door on one side was pushed open, and a few goblins carrying gas lamps walked out, where they called out to the students of their respective colleges.
The parents do not live in the student dormitory, and are also guided by another goblin alone.
The first-year students of Merlin College also followed the little goblin through the noisy crowd and walked out of the auditorium and climbed the marble stairs.
Albus felt as if his legs were filled with lead, but this was not because he was too tired, but because he had eaten too much, so he was very sleepy.
There seems to be some magic in the portraits in the hallway too, whispering and pointing as they pass by.
There were many hidden traps inside the castle, and he wasn't surprised when the goblin led them through a door hidden behind sliding panels and hanging curtains.
They yawned endlessly and climbed many stairs with heavy steps. Soon, they came to a corridor. At the end of the corridor hung a portrait. The portrait was of an old wizard wearing a hat. This was a portrait of human beings in this era. Portrait of Merlin.
"The password." The wizard in the portrait said.
"Merlin's beard," said the goblin.
Part of the castle's mechanism was designed by Tony, so it's obviously Tony's handiwork.
The painting slowly moved forward, revealing a circular hole in the wall, and they all crawled through the hole.
Then they found themselves in the common room, a circular room filled with soft armchairs, short-haired rugs underneath, and a fireplace on one side, which was very cozy.
"The boys' dormitory is on the left, and the girls' dormitory is on the right. Each door has your name on it. Just go up and find the corresponding one."
People walked into the door, behind which was a spiral staircase. It was obvious that they were in a tower, and through the staircase they found their rooms.
It was a simple five-person room, with dark wood boards on the floor and walls, five four-poster beds, and dark red velvet curtains hanging down.
A very cozy room. Although there is no independent bathroom, there are many shared bathroom spaces with partitions on the ground floor.
In Xia Ya's world, even Bai Zuo's cell was a single room of 20 square meters, with complete toilets and bathrooms, and full access to water, electricity, heating and internet.
But what about his dormitory?
None of these things. Letting go to World War II would be a violation of the Geneva Treaty.
Even if he gets caught in the rain, he always needs an umbrella to cover others, so Xia Ya also worked hard on the accommodation environment.
Their luggage had been moved in by the goblins. Many people had no intention of paying attention to these things. They were so tired that they almost fell asleep.
Especially Helen, who lives in a backward village somewhere in the Alps.
It was a very poor place, and the place where she slept was not really a bed.
Instead, in the attic, in a corner covered with straw, a sheet was simply spread.
Lying on a real bed at this moment, feeling the comfort of the delicate and soft home textiles, she even thought that she was in heaven, as if she was lying in her mother's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
However, some people were not asleep. Albus sat in front of the window and looked through the tower window at the sea of clouds in the distance and the full moon hanging high in the sky.
He actually didn't notify his parents when he came to this school.
So while most of the guardians came, he was one of the rare people whose parents were present but whose guardians did not come.
He used a confusion spell on his parents to make them think that he was studying at a good university and that the university covered all his tuition fees.
Firstly, he didn't want them to worry, and secondly, because his parents were very loyal to Duke Panacia, he couldn't figure out how to persuade them to leave the Panacia family for a while.
So I don't want to expose the existence of the magic world and wait until the day when he is truly capable.
However, I feel a little uncomfortable after deceiving my parents.
He came back to his senses and saw a familiar figure. On the roof of the corridor connecting the tower in the distance to the tower on the other side, Gayward was sitting there looking at the moon in the sky.
One of the windows on one side of the tower was open, and it was only more than one meter away from the roof. He jumped down in one jump. In fact, he could also climb over here.
Albus thought for a moment, then opened the window and climbed over, coming to his side.
"Why do not you sleep?"
Gaward raised his head and glanced at him, but then turned his head and continued to look at the moon, without words, looking very deep.
Probably something tragic happened.
Albus thought.
"You seem to have a lot of stories," he said, "but I guess one always has to look forward, right?"
"Are you from the imperial capital?" Gayward asked.
Albus nodded.
"Ever heard of the Witch of the South?" Gayward continued.
"There is very little news from the south in the imperial capital."
Gayward smiled disdainfully, "These politicians really tried every means to cover up the news."
"What happened to the South?" Absi asked.
"There can only be described as a purgatory now." Gaward said with a deep look. "Because of the war, many farmlands were deserted, famine was everywhere, plague was raging, and many people either starved to death or died of illness.
In order to cover up their mistakes, politicians, together with the church there, blamed all mistakes on an evil force, that is, witches.
And my mother was slandered as a witch and sent to the execution ground.
From what I just learned, there are many people in Black who have gone through the same thing as me. "
He spoke in a deep voice and began to tell his story to Albus.
As he spoke, Albus's face became more solemn, and then turned to anger and confusion.
“When you experience trying to save someone but being unable to do so, you will eventually get a glimpse of the true meaning of death.
No matter how much you love someone, one day, cold, no room for death will separate you. "
Gayward's voice was slightly hoarse, "I can't look forward. Those memories are dragging me to the past all the time."
"Then become stronger."
Gaward raised his head and looked at Albus.
He didn't say any nice words of comfort, nor did he make any comments about it, he just spoke quietly.
“In this place, it becomes unimaginably powerful, so powerful that there will never be any powerlessness.
This is also the purpose of my coming here. "
Gaward's eyes were dancing with light, and he turned his head to look at the moon, "It seems that although we have different experiences, our purpose is the same."
"I think we'd hit it off."
Albus raised his head and said, "I think so too."
"gentlemen?"
At the same time, on the other side, in the staff dormitory building in the middle of the four colleges' dormitories, Catherine looked at Merlin in front of her with some confusion.
He was looking out the window at the moment, seemingly staring at something, but Catherine and Harlon followed his gaze, and there was nothing outside.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at fate." He whispered.
He came to his senses and asked instead of continuing the topic.
“How do you feel about the accommodation?”
Catherine came back to her senses and looked around. The general decoration here was similar to that of the dormitory building, all made of dark wood. The difference was that this was a single room, instead of five beds, and it had a desk, bookshelf and wardrobe.
In fact, Haroon also has a room of his own.
The castle complex is large and has ample accommodation space.
"Perfect, so perfect." Catherine said excitedly, "I have never lived in such a big place alone."
The tavern that Catherine used to live in was said to be a tavern, but in fact it was converted into a residential building. It had to be both commercial and residential, so there was much less living space.
Their family is basically a Datong shop, not to mention crowded, there are many inconveniences, and they have never lived in a single room.
Xia Ya smiled and said, "Tomorrow you can also get familiar with the school like those students. Every night at ten o'clock, you need to carry a gas lamp to the dormitory for inspection.
The school has a curfew after ten o'clock, and students are not allowed to run around, as it will be dangerous.
You also need to handle everything that happens within students. "
Catherine nodded, "No problem."
"And there's more." Char looked at Harlon, "You can advance some salary and go to Dwarf Bronzebeard or Vice Principal Tony Stark to customize a prosthetic arm. Except that it's mechanical, everything is the same as a real arm. of."
Mechanical prosthetics also require the use of alchemy. After all, such sophisticated technology as being able to connect nerves is beyond the reach of dwarf forging technology.
There are actually many people among the dwarves who know both alchemy and forging techniques. The original nuclear fusion devices were not completed by the alchemist named Punk alone.
Catherine was stunned for a moment, but then she said excitedly, "Really?"
But then, she realized that the existence in front of her obviously had no reason to lie to her, and she apologized.
"Sorry, I lost my temper a little."
Xia Ya didn't mind, but smiled and said, "Then, I hope you can get used to the life here."
Then, he slowly retreated from here.
Catherine came back to her senses and looked at all this in a daze, "I feel like I am living in a dream now. We live on an island in the sky and in a castle like a palace.
There is such a beautiful room. "
"This is all real," Harlon reminded.
"Nonsense, don't I know?" Catherine rolled her eyes at him.
Harlon smiled, took a deep breath, and looked at everything around him absentmindedly. His feeling was actually similar to that of Catherine.
After leaving here, Xia Ya went straight back to the principal's office, which was still a tower with a floor height of seven or eight meters.
In the circular space, there are desks, soft sofas and carpets.
He sat on the armchair behind his desk and leaned back comfortably on the armchair.
There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and everything in the entire school was revealed in his eyes. As night fell, all the students and their parents fell asleep.
Destiny is intertwined with the fate and variables of countless creatures.
It is presented as a huge tree-like structure with no end in sight.
Giant trees grow in one main general direction.
It is driven by the intertwining of countless fates and unconsciousness.
That's exactly what Char said, the torrent of history
He had told Isabel, Arthur and others more than once that no one could change the direction of the river.
But this "no one" does not include him.
Char has this ability, and this is exactly what he is doing now.
But changing the direction of the torrent cannot be changed by weaving the fate of one or two people.
Rather, the fate of countless people...
