Chapter 86 The Night of Entering the Valley
According to the agreed time, the students from Salamander City gathered outside the city at 4 pm. There were thousands of people in this group, led by Abigail Dahn, and a group of people. Hundreds of guards and the mayor walked for more than an hour and arrived at the edge of the Datam Grand Canyon.
The mayor said: "The nearest entrance for dozens of miles away is here. As a rule, our guards will take turns to wait at these entrances. If a student is injured or withdraws, we will take him Send me back to the city to rest.”
“That’s great, but I have to work hard for your town... ...The manpower of your city has helped. Although Salamander City has grown to such a scale, it is not too big to be classified as a small city. I believe it will not be long before I call you the mayor."
The mayor couldn't help but feel happy. Although he said he didn't care, the expression on his face didn't match what he said in his heart.
A new student was curious and walked to the edge of the canyon to look down. He felt dizzy at first glance. The almost 90° vertical cliff. Although he could clearly see the scene under the cliff, it was probably only five or six hundred meters away. deep. Some black spots that were hard to see clearly were found to be rocks after looking at them for a long time. The curious student, who might be a little timid, was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and kicked his feet away, causing others to laugh at him for a while.
The entrance, since it is called the entrance, there is still a way, because for thousands of years, people have come here from time to time. Imperial nobles and elites of famous countries will list this as a good place for exploration. Therefore, in order to respond to the central government's call and to revitalize the local economy and people's livelihood, the local government made great efforts to dig several one-meter-wide roads along the canyon cliffs. Salamander City is one of them.
Under the leadership of the accompanying teacher, each student walked down the path one by one. The path is very flat, and the width of more than one meter is enough for a person to walk. However, some timid ones are still trembling with fear. Their legs are so weak that they cannot even walk properly, so they can only move down little by little against the wall. . The brave ones behind him got impatient and urged him again and again. In the end, they couldn't think of using wind magic and flew down directly. This can be said to be the boldness of a skilled person.
The bold student jumped into the air, turned around and laughed at their speed, but before he could laugh for a long time, a giant bird caught him in the air with a sharp beak. The strange light flickered and pecked at his armor, making a dent immediately. The student was so frightened that he struggled and couldn't get away from the giant bird's powerful claws. However, he also completely forgot that he could also use magic. No. Know how to fight back.
The students were frightened, and several girls screamed. Fortunately, they were accompanied by teachers. A teacher quickly flew behind the giant bird and grabbed the bird's neck with one hand. The fire elements in his hand gathered together and burned all the feathers of the giant bird. The giant bird withdrew its claws, and the teacher quickly snatched the student away, but without letting go of the giant bird's neck, he used greater fire magic to cook it directly.
Back at the edge of the cliff, the captured student was still frightened, and his face was as pale as if he had shed blood. The students in the group of teachers who saved people clapped their hands and applauded, saying that the teacher was great, and they were very happy to have such a great teacher.
The teacher was a little embarrassed by the students' praise. He kept saying that it was nothing, holding up the giant bird in his hand and saying that tonight's dinner was settled.
Actually, Kurantin College is not like other small colleges and schools. The regular teachers in the college are all with the strength of senior professions (senior knights, mages, etc.) or above, and there are about 200,000 or more, so some people Jokingly saying that Curantin Academy is not an academy at all, but a military base. It is indeed not an exaggeration to use these words to describe Kurantin.
A teacher walked up to the frightened classmate and said: "This is actual combat. With your ability, you won't be so embarrassed to deal with that bird. But just now you completely lost your ability to resist. No matter how well you perform in college, if you haven’t experienced In actual combat, death will always be with you on the battlefield. Remember this, this is the purpose of training you in the academy."
The frightened students nodded repeatedly and were comforted by the teacher. Gradually the panic subsided and returned to normal.
After this incident, no one dared to fly into the air easily anymore. Looking at the roc-winged birds hovering in the sky, everyone couldn't help but be a little more vigilant.
The setting sun is setting, and it gets darker in the canyon faster than outside. Luo and several friends in his group sat around the campfire, using the branches they found to burn the lizard meat. There was a fragrant pot of snake meat stew in the pot. The first night in the valley was about to come, and the real battle began. The siren also sounded at the moment of entering the valley.
Hendry Schieber, Bev Irina, Donores K. Selter, I don’t know if it was fate or something, the group of Big Low They were all knights, and they all knew Bing Zhixie. Even their tanned teacher Hasik Jonson was a knight who was good at close combat. In the words of their teacher, their group is the Cavaliers.
However, the atmosphere between them is not as harmonious as their profession. Except for Luo and Irina chatting and laughing non-stop, the others refuse to say a word to each other, and there are even It was a sign of hostility, which troubled their teacher.
On the other side of the canyon, Kenelia's group was laughing and joking non-stop, and even had a bonfire party. The members of their group include Aurora Dole, Donna Boya, Bege Dodoris from the Five Great Families, and the teacher Hull Daisy, all of whom are women, and are also called the women's group. When these women get together, they immediately start chatting about everything from makeup to shopping, pets to fashion. They are like good friends who have not seen each other for many years.
Wayne was among them, and their group happened to be assigned to the same team as Cornelia, so the two groups went together and had a party on the eve of the actual battle.
The scenery is the same as the sky. These four groups of people are in the same grand canyon, doing the same thing, but with different atmospheres.
This is a survival test, and you don’t have to deliberately look for battles. You can play until midnight and set up a tent to sleep. Because they had just entered the canyon and were still on the outermost edge of danger, the teacher did not need to be particularly vigilant. After instructing the students to take turns to watch the night, they all fell asleep. "Huh... ha... lu..." Each group entered the canyon, and the camp was filled with snoring. Boya, who had just slept for less than two hours, finally saw that the hourglass in her hand was finished, and she woke up Cornelia, who was sleeping soundly in the tent.
Cornelia sat up and half-closed her eyes. Not knowing what was going on, she fell back to sleep.
"Hey, wake up, it's your turn." Boya called her several times and finally woke her up completely.
Konelia put on her clothes and apologized profusely. When she came out, she happened to see Wayne coming out for the night shift. She saw that he walked out with his eyes closed and he was still snoring. She couldn't help but laugh. , most of the sleepiness has gone away. I wanted to make a joke with him and accumulated water elements in my hands.
Wayne was still in a trance while holding his armor in his underwear when suddenly a water balloon hit his face. He immediately screamed in shock: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, there is danger...!"
Konelia was startled and couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.
People in dozens of camps in this area were awakened by Wayne's cry. They picked up their weapons and put on their armor in a panic, and they all ran out. The people in the nearby camp didn't know what was going on. Seeing that the neighboring camp was nervously preparing for war, they all called their comrades to prepare to defend against the enemy. This is great, the camp with more than 20,000 people is all connected together, holding torches and weapons to watch for all movements in the dark. Some are not even dressed, just bare their arms and cut off their pants. He ran out, screaming that there was a monster and run away.
But Nelia knew that she had caused a big trouble, so she took the initiative to bow her head and apologize to them, hoping that they would forgive her. Knowing that it was a false alarm, the students all blamed Cornelia, took off their armor and went back to the tent to sleep. Some were so angry that they pointed at her nose and cursed.
The people around me also knew that everything was fine, and they all went to bed amid a burst of scolding.
When has Cornelia ever been scolded by such unpleasant words? She couldn't help but feel aggrieved and cried.
Wein knew that he was also responsible, causing Cornelia to take the blame. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to apologize to her.
Seeing her crying sadly, Daisy stepped forward and asked her what was going on.
Kenelia choked up and told what she had done.
A few teachers nearby also came over, patted her shoulders and said with a smile: "You did a good job. This is a dangerous zone, and people on night watch must be more alert. Although it was just a joke. , but it woke up Wayne. You are not wrong either. , it is very important to be able to warn of danger immediately when you are disturbed. However, you should not do this again when you are on night watch."
"Yes, Teacher" Wayne scratched his head in embarrassment. , was very happy to be praised.
When Nelia heard what the teacher said, she felt a little better and slowly held back her sobs.
Daisy smiled at her and said: "Really, you are right. Even if there is no danger, it will be very good for these guys to adapt to the environment here early. Don't be sad and continue to watch the night. ”
In this way, the first storm in the canyon started so absurdly, but ended well.
