Towers are scattered on the mountains, and the light gray stone walls feel extremely cold. White snowflakes are piled on the surface, corners, and tops of the rough stone towers, making these towers and mountains blend into one in the night. There are only some yellow lights.
Only through the thick glass can a little vitality of life be revealed.
Her dark gray coat was covered with snowflakes. Lan Lier stepped on her thick boots and slowly fell from the air, then stood on the observation deck outside the 8th floor of the tower.
First, push open the wooden door on the observation deck, enter inside, and then close the wooden door to prevent outside wind and snow from blowing in.
After entering the inside of the tower, she walked to the door next to the stairway. She took out the engraved copper key from her arms and inserted it into the stone door. As a burst of light flowed through the door, the door lock jingled slightly, and then she gently pushed it open.
Walking through the door is the common room on their floor. The lounge is connected to four thick wooden doors, corresponding to four bedrooms. Each bedroom sleeps two people and each has its own bathroom.
Compared with the crowded central school building, the facilities of the four major colleges are much more spacious and abundant. After all, they are surrounded by less visited mountains and land, and the school does not lack space for additional buildings. This aspect is indeed very comfortable.
There are already three students in the common room, of course they are all girls. The two are sitting at the brown wooden table, writing and drawing things quickly under the candlelight. In the common room of Nuo University, only the faint sound of the flame in the fireplace can be heard.
There was a popping sound, and the rustling of pen across paper.
The remaining student stood by the cabinet against the wall, holding a kettle and adding hot water to his cup. As the boiling water fell into the black porcelain cup in a small arc, there was a sound of water, and then
The heat came out and the strong aroma of tea began to spread in the room.
"Lan Li is back, good evening." Holding a steaming cup of black tea, the girl wearing a brown and white dress walked slowly over.
"Would you like some hot tea? I still have some."
"Then you're welcome Antoli, is Ling Xin back?" Lan Li patted the remaining wind and snow on her coat and hat, took off her thick coat, revealing a slightly close-fitting cashmere sweater underneath, and then sat at the table.
I looked at the structural drawings drawn by several roommates.
Antoli made another cup of tea, put it in front of Lan Li, and then said: "Ling Xin has been learning from her instructor about advanced sequence 6 related matters recently. She is about to break through. She must be very busy recently."
"Thank you~" Lan Li picked up the hot tea cup and took a small sip. She felt it was too hot, so she put it down temporarily.
"Unknowingly, everyone is about to enter the fourth grade. It feels like time flies so fast. It seems like just yesterday that Sister Tireila graduated."
"Yes, I just entered the Tower Academy and encountered many problems. Sister Tirela helped solve them." Antoli also nodded, then sat down with her back to the fireplace, her figure under the light of the fire.
It seemed a little blurry, and the two of them talked quietly.
Lan Li put her arms on the thick wooden table warmed by the fire, looked at Antoli and said: "My instructor suggested that I don't need to advance this year, and stabilize myself first, and wait until next year to enter the fourth grade."
"Although the instructor is also kind-hearted, if this happens, I will have to be separated from Ling Xin and fall behind her by a grade. This feels really bad." Lan Li said her thoughts slowly with her face raised.
"Lanli, this is really a happy worry. The two of us are still worrying about this year's final design, and we are destined to be unable to advance to Sequence 6 this year." The two girls drawing pictures next to them turned around, complained a few words, and continued.
Drawing complex and precise drawings.
The four people sitting in the room are all Sequence 5, and the oldest among them is only 20 years old. To the outside world, it can be said that all of them are rare geniuses, but in Emenas, they can only be regarded as middle-class. Although Langli
She can also advance to Sequence 6 before the end of this year, but that is very risky, so the teacher suggested that she slow down first.
The bright yellow flames of the fireplace burned, bringing bursts of heat and dispelling the surrounding chill, and then cast the shadows of several girls on the opposite wall. With the movements of the girls, these long shadows continued to sway. Side view
The wall cabinets also changed in light and dark, and professional books with complex and lengthy titles were coated with a warm color by the firelight.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The 'Winter Festival Party' is about to start. Let's relax first and work hard again in a few days." Lan Li said to her friend, and then she lay down on the table, ready to take a nap.
meeting.
"Don't sleep here, get up, take a shower, and go back to the bedroom."
"Well, I don't want to move. The water is too cold in winter, and it's too troublesome to boil the water yourself." Lan Li lay on the table and spoke like dried salted fish.
"Lan Li's laziness has returned again. I guess I have to wait for Ling Xin to come back and drag her in." The two people next to them whispered, and then watched Lan Li's eyes slowly open and close, and finally closed completely.
"What a slacker."
-------------------
After class, Rohir also returned to his residence. The place was relatively quiet, with a fire burning indoors, and the small yard outside filled with white snow. Only scattered green grass leaves and vines emerged from the white snow.
Wearing a comfortable pure white dress, she sat on a wooden chair, facing the flames of the fireplace. There was a thick book on her knees wrapped in white cotton socks. As her white fingers touched it, the pale yellow pages of the book also changed.
After turning it over, the black writing was clearly reflected in the firelight.
"The specific origin of the chaotic vortex is unknown. Its appearance can be traced back to the era of giants and dragons. It is said that the King's Court of Giants at that time permanently eliminated several chaotic vortexes."
"Based on archaeological excavations, scholars believe that there may have been an era before the age of giants and dragons, because the facilities on some ruins are relatively sophisticated and not suitable for large giants and dragons to use at all. It can be inferred from the traces in the ruins
, these prehistoric civilizations were probably about the same size as today’s humans, elves, or orcs.”
"They used special sandstone and steel to make buildings. They were very neat and it can be seen that they were of a high standard. But unfortunately, no corpses of creatures from this civilization were found in the ruins, and the traces of their activities seemed to be suddenly cut off one day.
, disappeared into thin air.”
"This civilization seems to rarely use words. The only clearer record is the mural excavated at the World Tree site 300 years ago. The restored scene shows a purple-red sky with a sea of clouds, the sun is at the edge of the horizon, and the earth is a
Green forests, and city-like buildings floating in the sky. Based on this painting, scholars finally called the era of this civilization the disappeared twilight era."
It was really wonderful. As the night got deeper, Lorraine Hill closed the book, and his mind was still thinking about the wonderful world recorded in history.
Let's read it tomorrow. She stood up, put the book and the warm stuffed bear in her arms on the table, moved her body, and prepared to sleep here tonight. Anyway, she had agreed with her roommate over there.
I have to 'study all night' in the library.
As the dark clouds dispersed and the snow gradually stopped, a luxurious airship sailed over the mountains in the distance and slowly approached Emenas.
The coat of arms on the airship consists of red and green roses intertwined with each other, shining brightly in the moonlight.
