"Hi, hello!" Seeing the two people staring at him without speaking, Bufan was a little embarrassed, so he had to take the lead to break the calm.
However, after he finished saying this, he saw that the originally calm face of the boy with the peacock head suddenly became bright, and the boy's chatter box was opened.
"Ah, hello. My name is Guo Zhi. I live in Trison Mountain. There are eight people in our family, one housekeeper and three servants. My parents are still alive, and the other one is my eldest brother. Now, this is it, Let me tell you..."
"Well, um, haha, my name is Zhuo Bufan, you can call me Bufan."
Seeing the boy named Guo Zhi open his mouth and start talking non-stop, Bufan didn't see any sign of stopping after listening for a while, so he had to forcefully interrupt him by introducing himself.
"Oh, extraordinary, um, okay, let me tell you, our family has many specialties, and the most delicious one is called grouse. This grouse..."
After a pause, Guo Zhi's performance started again. However, his brother saw that Bufan was not interested in chatting, so he stretched out his hand to stop Guo Zhi, "Come on, come on, if you want to make friends, you have to sign up first." Let’s talk about it later, we are very pressed for time now.”
After hesitating for a moment, Guo Zhi smacked his lips, but finally nodded and said, "Oh, then, Bufan, let's talk after we sign up."
"Uh, okay." Watching the two brothers leave, Bufan thought for a moment and chose to follow them.
After walking straight to the left for a while, a loft appeared in front of it. The loft was twenty feet high and divided into three floors. The people who signed up consciously lined up in a long line under the attic to wait.
Bufan lined up after the two brothers. Gradually, a lot of people gathered behind Bufan. There were many people bringing their families with them. Everyone spoke and it was very lively.
"Father, father, is that the Pearl of Elas?" A freshman asked the adults next to him, pointing to the mountain behind the attic.
"Of course, it's so beautiful and dazzling, it's hard for you not to notice it! Son, in Elas City, you don't have to know who the president of the trade union is? You don't have to know what the most delicious food is What? But you have to know what the Pearl of Ailas is? Although our family is in a relatively remote village, we are also Ailas people! We must be proud that we belong to Ailas, do you understand? "
"Yes, Father."
Their conversation attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked up and saw a glowing sphere floating on the top of a towering mountain not far behind the attic.
The scorching sun in midsummer is always scorching, not to mention that now that the time is slowly approaching noon, the sunlight is getting more and more dazzling. However, this dazzling sunlight does not appear to be very hot when it is scattered on people's bodies.
In fact, not only in midsummer, the sunshine in the entire city of Elas is warm and genial all year round. This strange phenomenon originates from the same thing.
This thing looks like a bead, but it has a resounding name - the Pearl of Elas.
The Pearl of Elas is a huge bead floating on the top of a mountain called the "Nightless Peak". This bead will absorb the brilliance of the sun during the day, making the dazzling sunlight no longer hot. At night, it will It emits soft light like the bright moon, illuminating the night sky of Elas. And in winter, it will emit a warm light, giving the city warmth. Its coverage area is extremely wide, covering the entire city of Elas and extending several kilometers away. The residents of the city are enjoying its blessings, so they also gave this treasure, which is not gorgeous in appearance, a resounding name - the Pearl of Elas.
Because the peak carrying this pearl is the closest, it has become a gathering place for light. As a result, it is not shrouded in darkness all year round, so it is named Night Peak.

The team was moving forward slowly. Bufan, who was in the team, soon reached the front of the queue. The only ones in front of him were the two brothers.
Then a voice came from the attic.
"Next person."
"Okay, I won't accompany you anymore. You have to walk the rest of the way on your own. Go ahead." The man patted the boy on the back and motioned for him to go in.
"Okay, I understand, then I'm going in."
"go Go."
Watching his younger brother walk in, the man turned around and nodded to Bufan, then left the team.
Arriving at the first place in line, looking at the attic not far ahead, Bufan suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Next person."
Not long after, the same voice came again.
This time Bufan heard the sound and walked forward quickly.
On the first floor of the attic, there are brown wooden floors and antique room decorations. A gentle breeze blows from the open windows in all directions, with a special woody fragrance. There are three tables on the left, middle and right of the room, with a teacher sitting in the middle. The two students sat on opposite sides. On the table on the far left is a card called Registry.
Bufan walked over to this place and handed the notice to the student in front of him. After the student picked up the notice, he began to record it on the thick book on the table. The sound of "shushushushu" sounded, adding to the quiet room. There were some different sounds. After a while, he put away his pen, raised his head, and said to Bufan: "Please put your hand on this crystal ball, and then take a deep breath and hold it."
Bufan glanced at the crystal ball as big as a human head on the table, and then started to do it according to the senior's instructions. He slowly placed his hand on the crystal ball. It felt cool and slippery, and he took a deep breath. He held his breath, and after a while, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a gray light.
The student glanced at it and then lowered his head to record. After a while, he raised his head and said to Bufan: "Okay, that's it. You can go to the teacher to sign the agreement."
"Senior, what is this crystal ball for?"
"Oh, this is a spirit detection device. It can reveal the hidden spirit on your body, so that you can easily judge the affinity of your spirit."
"Then what kind of spiritual affinity do I have?"
"Your spirit has no special attributes or affinity."
"Oh okay."
"Don't worry. The spirit affinity check is just to let you know and focus on it. In fact, most people have no affinity. You don't need to pay too much attention to this."
"Oh, okay, thank you, senior."
"You're welcome."
After briefly understanding the general information, Bufan walked to the table in the center.
Seeing Bufan coming over, the teacher sitting in the center said directly: "Zhuo Bufan, 15 years old, peak apprentice, passed the test, and passed the three exams. Is this information wrong?"
"No."
"Well, the tuition fee is 10,000 gold coins per year, or you can choose to repay it through tasks." After confirming that it was correct, the teacher continued.
1 gold coin is almost the purchasing power of 100 yuan on earth, and 10,000 gold coins is 1 million. The tuition fee of 1 million yuan for a school on earth is simply scary. Bufan said his choice without any hesitation.
"I choose to pay it back."
Task repayment is an inevitable choice for most freshmen, and Fanfan is not a noble child, and he is not a wealthy businessman. Of course, he has no choice. Apart from this method, the only choice is not to enter this school.
But what Bufan doesn't know is that even for noble children, their choice is usually to repay through tasks, because this is a tuition fee that varies from person to person. The purpose of the college is actually to let everyone choose to do free tasks instead of paying directly.
"Well, the rules for task repayment are to complete four academy-specified tasks for free every year. If you fail to meet the requirements, you will be forced to accept the academy's service regulations until the debt is repaid. Just leave your fingerprint on this crystal ball if it is correct. .”
Looking at this crystal ball, which was almost the same as the previous one, Bufan asked curiously: "Isn't this a spiritual detection device?"
"No, it's called Anji. It can record your breath and generate a stone. That token is your student certificate. Keep it safe and don't lose it."
"oh."
Bufan raised his right hand and pressed it, and a warm, fleshy feeling came. This comfortable touch made Bufan couldn't help but stroke the crystal ball.
Suddenly, a wave of fluctuation came from the crystal ball, which shook Feifan's hand away.
The teacher sitting on the chair was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked a little strangely: "This is the first time we have encountered this situation. What did you just do?"
"That? Just touch it a few more times."
"Huh?" The teacher looked at Bufan with some astonishment, and then at the crystal ball that seemed to be vibrating.
"Angie is spiritual. When we invited her over and let everyone touch her, she was in a very bad mood. You kept touching her, and of course you made her angry!"
"Then, what should I do?"
"It's okay, your information has been recorded. Anyway, you will basically have nothing to do with it in the future, so just ignore it."
"Oh, that's it." Once he heard that nothing happened to him, Bufan felt relieved.
Not long after, a small colorful stone was spit out from the crystal ball. The teacher picked it up and strung it up with a chain. "Okay, this is your identity certificate. We usually make it into a necklace. Of course, you can also make it into the style you like. Remember to keep it safe. Also, the cost of production is 1 gold coin." The teacher repeatedly warned and handed the necklace to Extraordinary.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." He handed over a gold coin, put the identification necklace directly on his neck, and Bufan walked to the far right.
"This is the package storage area. We will keep the package for you here and then deliver it to your dormitory. After all, you are about to start a test next, and the package is not easy to carry."
"Test? Senior, I should have passed the admission, right?"
"Of course, you can treat this test as a competition, a competition for freshmen, and there are rewards in this competition. Someone will inform you of the specific details later."
"Is that so?" With deep doubts, Bufan put down the package and walked slowly toward the exit at the back.
"Next person!"
