Chapter 3 Kurantin College
The next day Bingzhixie woke up and checked out of the room, and asked a waiter: "Excuse me, is today the registration exam for Kurantin College?"< br>
“Yes, these three days are the annual admissions examination of Kulantin Academy.” The waiter saw that he was wearing a big magic hat and said, “Do you want to go to Kulantin to learn magic? ?”
Bing Zhixie nodded.
The waiter smiled and said: "You are very courageous. However, Kulantin's examination requirements are very strict, and the admission fee is very expensive. If you can't pass the examination, or you don't have enough money, you might as well choose another school. OK.”
Bing Zhixie nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your advice, I understand. May I ask again, which way to go to the teleportation array?"
The waiter said: "Go out and turn left, and then go to the three-way intersection. Go to the right, then cross the intersection and walk forward. If you don’t remember, there is a map of this area beside the door of our store.” A map was carved on a large stone slab. Bing Zhixie followed the direction and came to the teleportation array, and saw a long queue of elders in front of the teleportation array. From what they were talking about, it turned out that they were all rushing to Kulantin College to register for the exam. He had no choice but to queue up with them.
The magic teleportation array is divided into entering the array and exiting the array. It can only be used when entering and exiting the formation are connected to each other. Generally, an ordinary magic entry array can be connected to a dozen to dozens of magic exit arrays, so that the teleportation array can be used to reach various places in the city.
Magic teleportation arrays are usually powered by magic crystal arrays. Generally, there will be a small magic altar next to the teleportation array in the city. The magic crystals of the main body of the teleportation array are hidden in the magic altar. When the magic crystals in the main body of the teleportation array are used up, people from the urban management or the local magic union will usually be responsible for replacing them. In ordinary cities, in order to reduce the burden on the local government and extend the use time of a replacement crystal, the magic array is usually in a semi-activated state, just to keep the teleportation array operational. To use it, the user must contribute his own magic. Crystal, this is also the origin of the magic altar next to the teleportation array. Therefore, various countries will sell some very inferior magic crystals. This kind of crystal is specially used for the use of teleportation arrays. The price is also quite cheap and will not add any financial burden to the people.
"Hey young man, are you going to Kurantin Academy?" It turned out that it was a middle-aged man in his thirties who was talking to Bing Zhixie in front of him. He was also holding a five or six-year-old little boy in his arms.
"Yeah." Bing Zhixie responded.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Then you come in too, the two crystals I have here can just teleport the three of us."
"Thank you." Bingzhi smiled evilly, Standing in the magic circle. The middle-aged man was just about to put the crystal stone into the altar, but Bing Zhixie beat him to it.
Bing Zhixie pressed one hand on the center of the magic altar's formation, and the magic power pouring out of his hand immediately activated the magic altar. The teleportation array under the feet soon emitted a strong light, and the small map carved on the slope of the altar also emitted light. Amidst the middle-aged man's surprised voice, Bing Zhixie stretched out his finger and pressed the teleport mark point of Kulantin College on the map. With a flash of light, the three of them disappeared into the magic circle.
Coming out of the magic formation, the middle-aged man said in surprise: "Young man, I didn't expect you to be a magician. Seeing you wearing a magic hat, I thought you were just a magic apprentice. Ordinary magic apprentices don't have as much magic power as you."
Bing Zhixie nodded, with a slight smile on his lips and said: "It's nothing, I want to talk to Kuranting. You still have to have this ability."
"Are you here to learn magic?"
"Yes."
The middle-aged man said: "Then let's disperse. I want to take my son to apply for the Magic Kindergarten. At your age, you should go there and not go the same way as us.”
"Goodbye." Bing Zhixie was not interested in talking to passers-by. He held his magic hat, bent down and performed the magician's etiquette, and then ran over there.
The middle-aged man smiled and said to his son: "Son, you should also work hard to become a magician."
"Yes." The cute child nodded vigorously. .
The registration desk for Bing Zhixie's age has long been full of people. After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally his turn to sign up. The muscular man who accepted the signup said: "The ones applying for the magician are over there, and here are the ones applying for the fighting class."
Bing Zhixie pushed up the magic hat that covered her eyes. Seeing that the queue of applicants for magicians was longer next to her, she immediately said: "No, I'm just here to apply for fighting."
The muscular teacher raised his head and looked at him, pinched his thin arm and laughed loudly: "Kid, you really love to joke. If you want to be a real warrior, you must have a strong body. Do you know? Go, go Over there, don't delay other people's registration." Bing Zhixie was pulled aside by him with one hand.
Bing Zhixie sighed softly, looking at the long queue, he had no choice but to buy an ice cream and continue queuing.
The person who accepted the magician registration was a beautiful and approachable female teacher with silver hair. Many boys who had signed up had not left yet and were gathered around the table, making Bing Zhixie wait for a long time before she could squeeze in to sign up.
The silver-haired female teacher looked at the thin Bing Zhixie, smiled sweetly, and asked: "Here comes a cute little magician. May I ask your name?"
" Celeste Bingzhixie”
The silver-haired female teacher asked again: "Are you recommended by other schools, or did you come by yourself?"
"I came by myself, ma'am."
The silver-haired female teacher listened. He called himself ma'am, couldn't help but laugh, took out a table and handed it to him: "Please put it on Write your name, age, parents' names, and home address."
Bing Zhixie said: "I am an orphan."
"Oh, I'm sorry," the silver-haired female teacher said sternly. "Then fill in the people closest to you and the people who raised you."
Bing Zhixie filled it out quickly with a pen.
The silver-haired female teacher took it over and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Why do you always fill in your own name?"
"I have always taken care of myself. The person closest to me is probably myself." Bingzhi. Xie asked back: "Isn't it okay to write like this?"
A look of surprise and pity suddenly appeared in the eyes of the silver-haired female teacher: "Don't you know anyone you know well?"
Bing Zhixie was silent for a long time, refusing to speak.
The silver-haired female teacher sighed softly, pulled him to her side and whispered in his ear: "You are so pitiful, but writing like this is not possible. I will give you another form, and you can write down the names of the people you know. , but don’t tell others.”
Bing Zhixie nodded and took another form and filled it out again.
The silver-haired female teacher took the form again and asked: "Who is Abigail Dahn?"
"A dead grandpa." Bing Zhixie said.
The silver-haired female teacher was stunned and had to ask again: "What about Bernice? Is she a friend you know?"
"Yes." Bingzhixie said: "It is a puppy I once raised, but it is also dead."
The silver-haired female teacher was completely speechless, but thinking about him having no relatives at such an age It was quite pitiful for no reason, so he signed a name and said: "Go to the exam according to the place written on the form. If you don't know how to go, you can ask the students in the college."
"Thank you, madam. ." Bing Zhixie took the form and walked into the college without looking back.
Bing Zhixie looked left and right along the way, but the college was too big and he didn’t know which direction to go, so he stopped a person and asked: "Hello, I'm sorry to bother you. How about the admission trial room?" Let’s go?”
“Over there.” The stopped student pointed in a direction: “I’ll take you there.”
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you," Bing Zhixie said. The guy leading the way was slightly taller than Bing Zhixie and had short blond hair. Because it was the new semester after the holiday, his face was full of vigor and he seemed like a very sunny person.
"Hello, my name is Big Low." The classmate said while leading the way.
Bingzhixie said: "Hello, my name is Celeste Bingzhixie."
Luo scratched his golden hair and said: "Xilai symbolizes heaven and happiness. Ste, that’s a great last name. Can I call you Bing Zhixie? Sorry, please don’t be offended by my enthusiasm.”
"No, of course." Bing Zhixie said.
Luo led him through several buildings in the academy and turned a corner: "It looks like you are here to learn to be a magician. Is your dream to be a famous magician?"
"Well, maybe." Bing Zhixie answered nonchalantly.
Luo Man said with a smile: "That is a very distant and great dream." Luo Man thought that he would also ask what his dream was, but after waiting for a while and seeing that he didn't speak, he felt a little bored, so he had to He said to himself: "Why don't you ask me what my dream is?"
"Sorry, I don't like talking very much." Bing Zhixie said: "Then what is your dream?"
Luo Li said excitedly: "My dream is to be a proud knight and carry forward our Bige family."
"Knight?" Bing Zhixie glanced at him and said, "That's A very expensive business.”
Lo. Said: "Yes, my family is a small noble in the empire. My father and mother have saved money for several years and have already saved money for a set of armor for me. When the time comes, as long as my body stops growing, my father will ask the familiar The alchemist made me a better set of magic armor. "
"Although the magic armor is expensive, it is a long-term choice." Bing Zhixie lowered his head and asked, "We have traveled a long way, haven't we arrived yet?"
< br>"We're almost there, right in front." Luo smiled and said, "If you If you need custom-made equipment, just tell me. The alchemist is a very good friend of my father's, and you can get a lot of discounts. You know it's impossible to deal with businessmen like blacksmiths and alchemists who don't know how to bargain. It's impossible to find my father's friends. You save a fortune.”
"Thank you, you are really enthusiastic." Bing Zhixie said lightly.
The two came to several rows of inconspicuous wooden houses. There were many people gathered outside the houses, almost all of them teenagers of the same age as Bing Zhixie and Luo.
Luo Dao: "Here we are, right here. This is the place where the initial test is held. It is one of the test points in Kulantin. If you can pass it, you can take part in the retest five days later. Only if you pass the retest can you become a Courantine, the world's great university The first row of wooden houses are for the magician's test. You have to work hard. The first test is easy."
"Yes." Bing Zhixie nodded and helped him. The person didn't have much emotion and walked straight into the crowd.
There are many rooms in the first row of wooden houses. Bing Zhixie looked left and right. There were many people gathered in front of any door. Some were waiting for their friends after the test, and some were queuing up. It seemed that they were about to take the first test. You still have to queue up.
At this time, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. Bing Zhixie turned around and saw that it was Luo: "Why are you back again? Is there anything else?"
Luo Dao: "I see you are not alone. My friend is with me, so I came here to accompany you."
"Oh, that's right." Bing Zhixie thought for a while and felt that she should say something, and said, "Thank you, I really don't waste your time. Sorry."
"It's okay." Luo Dao: "The rooms here are for testing different types of magic. If you like or are best at which one, you can enter which room. After the test, the examiner will roughly record it. After you pass the retest, your expertise will be recorded in more detail, and arrangements will be made based on your situation when you study in the future."
"That's right." Bing Zhixie responded, and then said nothing for a long time.
Luo looked at Bing Zhixie and said, "You don't seem to talk much. Is it because you are too nervous? You don't need to be nervous. The first test is very simple."
Bing Zhixie apologized: "Sorry, My character is like this."
Luo smiled and said, "It's okay. Have you chosen which room to enter? Son?"
Bing Zhixie looked at them one by one: "Don't you have to queue up no matter which room you enter?"
Luo Dao: "Qinguing is boring. I came here the year before last. The same is true at times. If you feel bored, you can look around and you will find many little secrets.”
"Oh." Bing Zhixie always acted like he would do whatever he said. He nodded and looked around.
Kulantin College has many flower gardens and flower beds, which make the college peaceful and beautiful. There seemed to be a lot of things flying around in the flower bed. A closer look revealed that they were little fairies flying all over the sky. A closer look revealed that they were all scenes transformed by magic. He saw an entrance on the ground next to the flower bed, and it seemed that the bottom was the hub for these ornamental magics.
Luo Jianlan saw the entrance and said, "Do you know what's down there?"
Bing Zhixie looked at him doubtfully and said, "Isn't it a magic circle?"< br>
“Yes, but it’s more than that.” Luo smiled and said: “There is still a small shop down there.”
"Oh, that's it." Bing Zhixie took a look, and sure enough, several people walked out from below, holding ice cream with smiles.
Luo Dao: "It's very hot now. You wait here for a while. I'll buy two ice drinks and we'll eat while we wait."
"How can this work? I'll just follow You go together." Bing Zhixie didn't want to bother him all the time: "I should be the one thanking you."
As soon as the two of them entered the underground, they felt much cooler. The underground space is quite large, but there are already many people standing there, all here to avoid the heat and cool down. There was a large ice cube supported by a magic circle between the people. Several people put their hands on it from time to time, and then put it on their faces to relieve the heat on their bodies.
Luo walked to the front of the shop and asked: "Hey, sister Dole, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have any delicious ice drinks?"
The person named Dole was a female *** who was busy handing ice cream to customers and said: "Luo, why are you here? The boss knows that new students will be recruited recently, so he has already come up with new ice creams." and cones, prepare to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money One stroke, this time it’s called ‘Ice and Snow World’, I tasted it very delicious.”
“Okay, give me two portions”
Dole said. Then wait a moment, the sales volume today is so good that the boss even came to I went to get the goods from the ice house. They should be here soon." Dole finally finished his work and leaned on the counter, looking at the young man wearing a worn-out magic hat next to Luo and said, "He's a little magician. , is it your friend?”
< br>Luo Dao: "Yes, he is a friend I just met. He came to register for the exam today. His name is Bingzhixie."
"Hello madam, my name is Celeste Bingzhixie. Xie." Bing Zhixie said politely as he took off his hat.
"Wow, what a handsome young man." Dole was as enthusiastic as Luo. He went up and touched Bing Zhixie's white hair: "If you don't mind, I'll just call you by your name. If you become Ku Lan Ting’s student, I am your senior.”
Luo looked around and chatted. The man in the sky said to Dole: "Sister Dole, you will definitely get a lot of money by doing temporary work for the school. Don't forget to treat us then."
"Okay." Dole smiled and said: "When did I receive money without inviting you?" Dole took two stools for them and started chatting.
