Chapter 177 I am already studying the next round of trials
The two small long boats anchored on the river are similar in shape to the dragon-headed warships of the Ice Sea Kingdom.
The whole is made of a single piece of oak, and the curved bow is engraved with the representative beasts of the two colleges, the lion of Cam River University and the unicorn of Tame River University.
Logically speaking, in a competition between the two highest schools in the Golden Lion Kingdom, the appearance of such a barbarian-shaped warship is suspected of inflating the prestige of others.
However, the pirates of the Ice Sea Kingdom once took advantage of this flexible warship and caused great trouble to the Golden Lion Kingdom.
This dark history of the invasion of the Golden Lion Kingdom is known as the "Ice Sea Storm" in history. It lasted for nearly two hundred years. During this period, a large number of brave captains and ice sea berserkers emerged.
Although at the moment, the naval power of the Golden Lion Kingdom has the upper hand.
However, every Golden Lion who has learned about the "Ice Sea Storm" will never forget the tragic history brought about by this dragon-headed warship.
Competing in boat racing in the dual-school trial is somewhat like being prepared for danger in times of peace.
“Those two ships are both carved from oak.”
A single-family building by the river, with a second-floor marble terrace with excellent views.
Beside the small round table, the black-haired witch took a sip of black tea from a white porcelain cup, overlooking the spectacular grand event scene by the river, and said casually:
"Oak is really important to the development of navigation. The most powerful battleship of the Golden Lion is called the 'Royal Oak'..."
"Sister Megan, do you still know about ships?" Yeats was surprised.
“Haha, I just read some books about ships while searching for the legend of [Najirfa’s Ship].”
Megan looks like an elegant and beautiful black-haired big sister, but when she smiles, she always gives Yeats a particularly kind feeling.
Speaking of which, this viewing location is still property in Meghan’s name—the owner of this single-family building is a down-and-out nobleman who is anxious to sell the property to solve an urgent need.
Meghan then bought this two-story garden house and invited Yeats and Gray to come here to watch the game.
As a member of the Seventh House of Representatives, Teacher Megan seems to be much richer than Teacher Candela.
Yeats was thinking wildly.
It may also be that Teacher Megan lived longer and received several more years of pension than Candela!
"[The Ship of Najirfa]." Gray chewed the cranberry biscuits on the table, her cheeks were like hamsters, "What is that?"
"It's the epic "Edda" "A large ship in the underworld, the entire ship was built entirely with the nails of the dead, also known as the Nail Ship."
"It is rumored to be the vehicle of the goddess of death, lost in the sea of ice."
Megan said calmly: "Pirates believe that if you find a ship model in a glass bottle, you can become the owner of this 'nail ship'... It can only be said to be the whims of mortals. ”
A model ship in a glass bottle?
Yeats secretly thought, what is the Black Pearl? Pirates of the Caribbean?
But it seems this rumor is true.
At least in Phantom, players can summon a real big ship through the glass bottle ship model in their backpack.
There are quite a few legendary-level ships. In addition to the nail ship, there are also moon ships, doomsday arks, etc...
Gray held her chin and said:
"It's already noon, why hasn't the Tame River University team shown up yet? Let the trial begin!"
"I know you are in a hurry, but Don’t be impatient.”
Yeats looked up at the sky: "The delegation from Tame University wants to ride on flying pets, and it always takes some time on the way."
After the words fell, not long after, the blue and clear skyline appeared. A shining silver horse.
The horse is all white and handsome, with flawless white wings spread out on its back. It looks like a flying pet that is more advanced than the eagle, Pegasus.
Pegasus, with two wings, is said to be born from the blood of Queen Medusa. It has extremely high magical talent, which is rarely seen in ordinary times.
The Pegasus in the sky is actually a king-level creature, showing the aura of a strong man with four rings. The king-like aura makes the animals along the coast remain silent. Even mortals can feel it. The holiness and nobility come to mind.
"Its wings are suitable for braised..." Yeats murmured.
Grey: "..."
I actually really want to try it!
The Pegasus soars across the sky, leaving a trail like a meteor with its four hooves. Its saddle extends out of the translucent magic reins, which are connected to the engraved carriage engraved with floating runes. The body of the horse has an ethical character. The two major coats of arms of the Royal Family and the University of Tame.
"Compared with Cam River University, Tame River University has closer cooperation with the royal family. Most of the students who graduate from there will choose to join the military and politics." Meghan explained.
"The master of Lundu is the master."
Yeats lamented the words of unclear meaning.
Gray had become accustomed to Yeats' occasional escapes. With her sharp eyes, she saw the white-robed mage on the upstream river bank. She tugged on Yeats's sleeve:
"Look, Kendra is there!" The white-robed mage held a hand in his hand. The staff shouldered the mission of judging this trial. Under his gaze, the Pegasus in the sky slowly landed.
From the carriage of the carved carriage, President Edwin and the three students led by him walked out. The president of Tame University, who is famous for his good temper, and Fina The principal shook hands and said gently:
“Long time no see, Principal Fina, Minerva, I hope this trial can go smoothly.”
Fina was reserved by nature and nodded calmly. As usual, she introduced the three students representing her side:
"June Lannister, Knight Academy, Third Ring."
"Pei Lun Zhufeng, Poets Academy, Third Ring. "
"Snow Owl Blanci, Mage Academy, Third Ring."
When Fina introduced the third contestant. .
Edwin's smile froze, and he tilted his head gentlemanly, indicating that he didn't hear clearly:
"What?"
"As you can see." Fina said calmly, "This one The owl with the ability to cast spells will represent our school and participate in Minerva's trial!"
Edwin: "Ah this..."
Those who can pass the selection and participate in the trial, They are all the top geniuses in the Master Academy.
But what happens when Jianhe University lets an owl compete?
Could it be a dangerous move, thinking that owls are more likely to be favored by Minerva than humans?
Edwin was a little confused.
But if Principal Fina dares to let an owl compete, she must be certain.
Edwin's startled heart slowly calmed down, he glanced at the snowy owl gently, and then smiled:
"The atmosphere of Jianhe University has always been famous for its freedom and openness. I believe our teachers and students will benefit a lot from this exchange with your school... Principal Fina, please."
There are facilities in the viewing area A mirrored wall.
With the help of the mechanical flying eye's reconnaissance, the corresponding picture will appear on the mirror wall.
It is said that this mechanical flying eye was inspired by the dwarf artificer from the beholder.
The boat race trial will be held in the Jianhe River Basin, with a total length of 6,000 meters, including many obstacle stages such as traps, illusions, and storms.
Only when entering the free phase, you can use spells to interfere with your opponents or assist yourself, but you cannot directly attack your opponents with spells.
When the players from both sides went to the river bank and prepared to board the boat.
The three contestants from Tame River University looked at the round-headed snowy owl and whispered.
"What's going on? Jianhe University actually let an owl compete. Isn't this more insulting than letting a barbarian compete?"
The speaker was a brown-haired boy with freckles. , wearing a robe made of expensive materials, speaking and behaving with the arrogance of the upper-class nobles of the old Lundu.
In Yeats's words, it belongs to the Zhenglun Dumi Banner.
"Charles, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy."
The black-haired girl is quite beautiful, not like a golden lion. She has slightly furrowed brows and said calmly:
"Magical creatures It has its own magic organ, which is more convenient for casting spells than human mages. It also represents the Jianhe Mage Academy and will be our most important opponent."
Charles smiled but said: "If you are Lan! Red Rose of the Nest family, I would like to hear a few words from you. Now... Miss Hetty, hurry up and get on the boat.”
Heti ignored the ridicule of the freckled boy, turned to look at the tall, silent boy in the back row of the team, and said seriously:
"Roy, you and Charles will be the paddlers, and I will be at the helm. Please listen to me." "
Roy McClun was born into an ancient maritime family in the Kingdom of Golden Lion. His ancestors were knights, which provided him with a good opportunity to be exposed to navigation.
He is a three-ring professional navigator in the Sailor's Way. He was promoted by drinking [Electric Ray Potion], and he rarely masters water and thunder spells at the same time.
Electric rays can discharge fifty times per second. Doctors in the Middle Ages would let patients touch the discharged electric rays in the pool in order to cure madness... Even those who were not sick could be made sick by the electricity. .
The navigator profession has its own ability to perceive current and wind direction, which has great advantages in rowing events.
Roy nodded silently as if he had great trust in Heti.
"How did the navigator lose?"
On the other side, Charles said confidently:
"I am already studying the next round of trials!"
