Chapter 199 [Advice]

The Magic Academy covers a wide area.

According to tradition, horses and vehicles are not allowed to ride in the academy, and horses and vehicles are not allowed to enter the academy. It is said that even His Majesty the Emperor himself must abide by this rule.

Chen Daolin naturally did not dare to violate this rule. Although there were no guards guarding or blocking the gate of this academy. However, this is a magic academy, Chen Daolin would not naively think that there was no defensive power here.

In fact, this place can be regarded as one of the safest places in the entire continent. You should know that hundreds of magicians or future magicians gather here all year round.

Walking in the gate, walking through a square that assumed a fountain pool - everything here made Chen Daolin very curious. He saw that the fountain was set up with a magic array, a water-based magic array. The fountain did not have any water source, but used the magic array to directly extract water elements from the air and turned into a water flow, and then recycled it in this magic array.

This design made Chen Daolin feel very novel. If this magic array can be used on a large scale, it can even simulate a tap water system similar to that in the real world.

Of course, just think about this idea. It is very expensive to set up a magic array. If you have to set up a magic array just for the convenience of water, you may only be so luxurious.

However, Chen Daolin's idea was quickly overturned!

When he reached the end of the square, there was a canal here. He happened to see several young men in long robes drinking water beside the canal sweat.

These young people are probably the magicians here. Most of them are about the same age as Chen Daolin, and some are even younger. They wear clothes that look like magician robes, but the color is indeed black. There are different marks on the robe on the left side of the chest, some embroidered with hexagrams, some embroidered with lion heads, and some embroidered with oak leaves.

These young men seemed to have just experienced a fierce movement, and everyone was sweating profusely. Some even opened their robes in front of the canal, poured cold water directly on their heads, and some soaked their heads directly in the canal.

This scene made Chen Daolin feel intimate when he saw it: it was like when he was in school, he saw those male students who were sweating all over the body when they were playing football on the playground.

Then, Chen Daolin discovered the structural principle of this canal, which was actually the same as the fountain he had just seen: a water-based magic circle!!

This discovery surprised Chen Daolin very much! In the Magic Academy, he actually used this expensive magic array in his daily life?!

Looking at the group of young magic students playing in the water, Chen Daolin also felt the young vitality on them - this was completely different from the dead old smell that filled the place of the Magic Union.

These young magic cadets, with bright smiles on their faces, were excited, enthusiastic and full of energy.

Chen Daolin couldn't help but walk over slowly and came to the canal.

These students noticed Chen Daolin, and then they saw the gray magician robe that Chen Daolin was wearing. Soon, the young students quickly stood up, stopped their movements, and nodded to Chen Daolin neatly and bowed to the magician's salute.

"Good afternoon." Chen Daolin asked with a smile.

"Dear Master, is there anything you can do for you?" The person who spoke was the oldest among the students. He probably looked the leader of this group of people and smiled enthusiastically.

"Oh, I'm here to report to the academy." Chen Daolin thought for a while and said, "I'm ashamed. This is my first time to come to the Magic Academy. Where should I find the reception desk?"

"Report?" The student leader looked at Chen Daolin curiously. He hesitated for a moment and tentatively said: "Master, are you the new magic teacher? Please forgive me for your presumptuousness, because you look too young."

Chen Daolin smiled very reservedly. He is a counselor in the school in the real world. When facing students, he naturally habitually acted like a role model, and smiled calmly: "Youth is a precious wealth, we should all be proud of it, right?"

"This sentence is very philosophical." The student smiled even more happily: "My name is Degumans, and he is a third-year student from Hogwarts. What is the name of Lord Mage?"

"Darling. Chen." Chen Daolin said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will become a magic research scholar here, but I don't think I will really have the opportunity to teach."

"No matter what, I like what you say." Degumans smiled, and then he sorted out his clothes: "Our activity class has been completed. I have nothing else to do now, so let me take you to the reception. As you can see, this place is very large, and if you are a first-time visitor, you will easily get lost."

After a pause, Degumans smiled with a hint of pride - this kind of pride is not arrogant, but the kind of pride that comes from the heart to be proud of the school. He reminded Chen Daolin: "Also, some places here are very dangerous. Especially last year, they built a magic puppet test garden and put dozens of monsters in. It is a bit unpleasant for ordinary people to break in by mistake - Oh, of course, you are not afraid of a formal magician, but that will always cause some trouble, right?"

As he said that, he turned around and explained a few words to the students behind him, then walked enthusiastically to Chen Daolin, reached out and made a guide gesture: "Please, Master Daling."

"Thanks."

Chen Daolin had a good impression of Degumans. He first turned around and reminded his followers to wait in the square, and then followed Degumans alone.

Degumans took Chen Daolin away from the square and walked into a tree-lined path from the right. Just behind the shade of the trees on the left, there were bursts of lively noises in the distance - there were shouts, cheers and cheers, just like a sports field.

"Just... you guys just finished some exercise?" Chen Daolin was a little curious.

"Yes, we just finished the exercise class." Degumans smiled. He saw a hint of doubt in Chen Daolin's eyes and said, "You shouldn't have much knowledge of the Magic Academy before. We are different from the Magic Union. The Academy attaches great importance to the personal physical fitness of the magic students. The Magic Academy has always been committed to changing the magic tradition of the Roland Empire. The Academy has always taught us that magicians should not be weak people in the traditional sense. Excellent magicians should also have a healthy body."

"Oh oh oh..." Chen Daolin nodded: "I completely agree with this point of view, well... Then what kind of physical exercise do you do in your activity classes?"

Well, if Degumans answered Chen Daolin next, the answer was football or other sports, aerobic and anaerobic equipment... or even the answer was that they were playing basketball or practicing fighting, Chen Daolin wouldn't be too surprised!

But…Dgumans’ answer…

He smiled relaxedly and said slowly in a tone he was used to:

"Oh, we just finished a Quidditch training match."

"Oh..." Chen Daolin didn't care at first and nodded casually.

Then... a second later, he reacted!

Wait, wait!!

Kui, Quidditch?!!

"...Is it the kind of ball that you play on a flying broom?" Chen Daolin asked in a dry voice.

"Yes." Degumans laughed and mentioned Quidditch. His attitude immediately became enthusiastic: "Our branch team is going to compete for the Academy Cup this year, I am the main player!"

"Uh, uh... Then congratulations in advance." Chen Daolin was a little absent-minded.

But I couldn't help but secretly want to curse people in my stomach.

Du Wei!! What did you do!!

First there is the Kaspersky defense line, then the Twelve Golden Saints, and then the Hogwarts Academy.

Now even Quidditch has been created?!

You came to this other world, are you here to do COSPLAY?!

...

Walking through the tree-lined path, there is a quiet corridor in front of you, stone carving corridor frames, and covered with green vines.

There are statues of people on the corridor.

When he got here, Degumans naturally slowed down, and even his voice subconsciously lowered.

Chen Daolin looked at him a few times, and his heart moved, and asked, "Where should be the legendary holy corridor?"

Degumans Zheng nodded: "You are right, it's here!"

He pointed to the half-body statues of the figures on the corridor and took a deep breath: "Please look, the place here is guided and great people on the road of magic and civilization in the Roland Empire."

When he arrived at this famous place, Chen Daolin certainly would not walk by easily. He couldn't help but walk a few steps closer, and stood outside the corridor and watched quietly for a while.

Like the legendary one, the first statue placed at the entrance of the corridor is Gandov, the most outstanding magician in Roland's continent in five hundred years.

Looking at the statue of the old man, it was lifelike, and every line on his face was extremely delicate, obviously from the hands of a famous master. On the stone platform under the statue, there were several lines of text carved, recording the life and deeds of this great man in the magic field of the Roland Empire.

Chen Daolin took a few glances... It turned out that this magician Gandof looked like this. He had heard of his name for a long time, and he also had a very deep connection with him: he had inherited the druid's mantle.

Looking at the sculptures on the corridor, Chen Daolin suddenly felt aroused in his heart and couldn't help asking: "I wonder... are there any statues of Tulip Duke here?"

To be honest, he was really curious about what Du Wei looked like.

After hearing this question, Degumans was stunned, then he smiled and said, "You mean... His Highness Duke Du Wei of the First Duke of Tulip?"

"certainly."

Degumans shook his head: "Mr. Darling, there is no statue of Lord Tulip Duke in this garage."

Then he added: "In fact, there is no statue of His Highness Du Wei in the entire Imperial Magic Academy, and even his portraits have not been preserved."

"...Why is this?" Chen Daolin was a little curious.

"I don't know either." Degumans smiled, with a naughty look in his eyes, and he lowered his voice: "With His Highness Duwei's prestige in the empire, in fact, many times the academy has been preparing to build statues for His Highness Duwei, and even passed a proposal to build His Highness Duwei's statue in the center of the gate of the academy, because everyone believes that only that position can demonstrate His Highness Duwei's greatness. After all, the creation of the Imperial Magic Academy was also facilitated by His Highness Duwei."

"So why didn't you do that?"

"...I heard that it was the Tulips family who rejected this proposal." When Degumans mentioned the Tulips family, the respect in his tone increased significantly. He slowly said: "The proposal to build a statue has been at least five or six times in the past 100 years, but every time the Tulips family has refused. I heard a rumor that it was said that His Highness Du Wei himself left a word that he did not like to be made into a statue and placed there for people to admire. His meaning seemed to be that... Only dead people will be made into statues for people to admire..."

Chen Daolin silently savored these two sentences, then frowned: "Huh? The meaning of this sentence seems to..."

"Yeah!" A faint excitement flashed in Degumans' eyes: "This is also a legend that has been circulating in the academy. It is said that the Tulip family has always refused to build statues for His Highness Du Wei. It is precisely because of His Highness Du Wei's words back then, and... from this sentence, the great His Highness Du Wei, perhaps... maybe..."

Speaking of this, Degumans took a deep breath: "...maybe still in the world!"

Chen Daolin heard the strong respect in Degumans's words. He glanced at the young man beside him and suddenly blurted out, "I heard you mention it just now... Are you from Hogwarts Branch?"

"Yes!" Degumans raised his chest: "The great and glorious Hogwarts Branch! It is also the place created by His Highness Duvey himself!"

As he said that, he glanced at Chen Daolin: "Mr. Darling, you are a good person. I really hope you will be assigned to the Hogwarts branch. You will find that this is a place full of enthusiasm and vitality."

"I hope I can have such honor." Chen Daolin politely praised the other party: "But I think it should be difficult for Hogwarts Branch to enter."

"As long as you pass the assessment," Degumans revealed a small message: "The candidates for faculty are all set by the dean of the branch. If you can get the appreciation of Dean Carmen, then..."

"Dean Carmen."

Chen Daolin was silent on his face, but couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Today, he was well aware of this name.

The two left the Holy Gate and continued to walk into the academy.

Along the way, Degumans enthusiastically introduced to Chen Daolin various buildings and places in the Magic Academy that he saw along the way.

"Seeing the row of red buildings? It is a public magic laboratory, which is specially used for students for free, and also provides some conventional magic materials for free. Of course, there is a quota for receiving these free experimental materials, and also requires the signature of the magic teacher in the class. The equipment of the public laboratory is relatively simple. If you want to conduct more complex or advanced magic experiments, you can apply for a special laboratory from the college. Just to the east, there is a building that is dedicated to alchemists. There are more than 20 laboratories, of which four laboratories are open to students and can be applied for, but it requires the signature of the dean of the branch."

"Here, this is a public library, which contains more than 100,000 books and documents of various magical scripts. Of course, the public library is replicated, and real rare and lonely books are collected in the college collection. The public library wants all students to be open for free. However, if you want to see truly profound magical scripts, you have to apply to enter the college collection to search. Only senior students have the opportunity to enter the collection at a specific time according to the corresponding courses. Of course, if you can get the signature of the professor or the dean, you will be able to read the book at any time. Well... There is a teaching area in the collection, which is not open to students, and is only for teachers and magic scholars to enter. I heard that there are many good things there! Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to go in and take a look."

"Ah! Look there, the dome building on the left and right, it is the one with white walls. It is a public museum. There are many specimens of monsters and many precious magical antique artifacts. Unfortunately, most of the real good things are not placed. There is an internal treasure collection in the basement of the public museum. It is only open to students once a year, and only students with particularly excellent grades will receive a reward to enter the underground treasure collection to visit. I was fortunate to go in once last year, and there are even dragon eggs there!!"
