Annan followed Ingrid and the others and took the subway to leave the bone raising ground.
Of course... according to the rules of the underground city, the bone raising land at this time is not called a bone raising land. Just like the coal barren land at this time is not called a coal barren land.
Because of the existence of Gray Professor Seti, this place is called the Gray Tower. It is also nicknamed the "Tower of Reflection".
This means that the Gray Tower is equivalent to the reflection of the Wizard Tower in the above world in the underground world - and this is actually praising the strength and knowledge of Gray Professor Seti, comparing him with the owner of the Wizard Tower.
But as far as Annan’s perception is concerned.
Even if Seti is still not as good as the Tower Master, he is already close.
They still had classes in three days, so the three of them didn't have to travel too far.
After all, the three of them are still learning rituals and mysterious knowledge from Seti. The school is only on a three-day holiday, so it would be too strange for them to travel directly out of the province.
Except for Seti's wizard apprentices, who were taught by him personally...the other students who studied mysterious knowledge all attended classes together and stayed in the "school" for a long time.
Of course, you have to take care of your food.
In addition to Seti himself, the teachers also have other students taught by Seti.
Because there are so many ritual masters who come to learn mysterious knowledge, and the fees charged here in Seti are not very high...or rather, the exact amount depends on fate. So many people come to try their luck.
Annan made some inquiries on the road and found out that there were more than 80 students at the same time as him, Ingrid and Justus. They all used large classrooms similar to auditoriums for classes, divided into grades, and organized in a systematic way.
to learn mysterious knowledge.
——It’s much more formal than “Dad” taking care of his apprentices.
Of course, the courses are certainly not as intensive as those at ordinary universities.
They have about two classes per week and graduate in about one to three years. If there are students with outstanding talents, they will be recruited by Seti as "disciples" to learn about extraordinary beings and become hunters or wizards.
Looking back now, Nefertari should have graduated as a "ritualist apprentice".
but……
Annan looked at Justus in front of him silently.
Speaking of which, Nefertari said...she is the only example of someone who resisted fate and succeeded.
However, judging from the current situation, Justus was also the one who chose to refuse when invited by Professor Gray.
And Justus finally became a transcendent.
So, can Nefertari... really maintain her determination until the end?
“It’s here, it’s here!”
Justus looked happily at a store.
It says in fancy fonts [Zhongrong Island Specialty Barbecue]. From the outside, you can tell that it is a restaurant renovated from a "stronghold room".
——This is proof of the strength of the hotel.
It means that he came here when there were few people here, and worked until the city became prosperous.
This place seems to be called Spotted Bone Forest.
When Annan got off the bus, he saw the road sign here.
It should be named after the surrounding specialty products.
There are a large number of curved calcium pillars that look like corals, stalactites, and the spines of living creatures. These are called "spotted bone pillars" and are natural black and yellow pillars.
The product is a specialty here.
The black markings are traces formed when bone is corroded. The yellow color is the oxidation layer. If you peel off the outer layer of these "bone shoots", you can reveal the milky white translucent bone layer inside, which is similar to tooth enamel.
.
This kind of treasure will only be born when the depth reaches a certain level directly under the gemstone vein.
And it is also a gem in itself.
This is the "Spine of the Stone Vein" in the mysterious material, which can also be called the "Heart of the Earth" or the "Marrow of the Mountain." Not only is it needed in some rituals, but it can also be made to absorb impact.
A spell that reduces fall damage or increases weight.
For example, if a stalker has a spell that reduces falling damage, he will not be easily numbed or broken by the impact when jumping on the ground; and a heavily armored warrior can also incorporate a large amount of metal into his metal armor.
The "Spine of Stone Vein" - in this way, they can prevent being knocked back or knocked away by the enemy. If added to the helmet, it can also effectively resist the impact of blunt objects.
It is also a key material for the handcuffs and shackles used to restrain extraordinary criminals. Although it is not particularly hard, if mixed with metal, it can greatly increase the weight - the most suitable use is with fine gold
Together they were made into shackles of "gold inlaid with jade".
"Is this directly underneath the gem vein?"
After ordering the meat, Annan raised his eyebrows and asked Justus: "I remember this place is far away from the Silmarillion Island, right?"
Justus thought: "The top here... is probably the province of Saint Alexius. It should be near the Pillar of Poison Fern."
...In other words, there is a gemstone vein directly under the Pillar of Poison Fern?
This is really something Annan doesn't know about.
There are not many people in the entire Poison Fern Pillar.
It was very desolate there. It was not a city, but a large snowfield.
It seemed that they were relics left over from the Third Age. Those stone buildings were not only broken into pieces by something. The broken stone pillars were covered with dark green ferns... and these plants were poisonous.
After going back, I have to ask my eldest brother to send a survey team to explore the Poison Fern Pillar.
Annan made up his mind.
……certainly.
The premise is...if Annan can retain his memory and come back alive.
"I'm afraid it's only in the underground city that the whole world can enjoy the skills of the barbecue craftsmen of Mane Island and the freshest and high-quality beef of the Theocracy at the same time."
Justus was obviously a little excited.
Annan chuckled and said, "You seem to be looking forward to it."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I've wanted to eat it for a long time!"
Justus patted the table lightly without daring to use too much force. He lowered his voice and yelled: "It would be too lonely if you can't go out to eat barbecue alone, and you two are busy reading every day...
…I don’t want to be stared at with pity eyes like ‘Oh, that poor kid, he has no friends’!
"It's rare that you are free today. It's very difficult for me..."
At this time, he was not strong enough. Rather, he was even a little thin...about the size of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, with a figure below the average level of a high school sports club.
While waiting for the barbecue, the conch-shaped sapphire ring worn on Ingrid's left index finger suddenly lit up with a flickering light.
Somewhat surprised, she put the ring to her ear, closed one eye and listened intently for a while.
"It seems to be a teacher. It's a long paragraph."
Ingrid was a little embarrassed and looked around: "It's a bit noisy here... I'll go out and listen again."
Annan on the side was almost dumbfounded.
——What is this? How did he do it?
Is this a magic BB machine? Or a magic voice message?
Can the idol school still make such a sexy thing?
But at this time, Annan did not forget his main mission.
[Prevent Ingrid from acting alone]
Although the surroundings seemed very quiet... there were no enemies.
Annan's left eye did not detect the betrayer; "Frederick", as a wizard, has powerful perception and can also detect the hostility of the people around him. The result is naturally "none".
However, just in case...
Thinking this, Annan also stood up: "I'll go with you."
"Why?"
Ingrid was stunned for a moment, then showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I'm just taking a message from the teacher... I guess they asked us to bring something with us when we go back. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Justus also joined in and said, "Well, don't leave me alone. If meat is served, should I wait or not..."
"You must be waiting."
Annan glanced at him and smiled: "Wait until we come back, be good."
"You guy..."
Justus muttered.
So Annan followed Ingrid and left the barbecue restaurant.
It was actually very quiet at the door, but the sound inside the messenger stone was really not loud - Professor Gray seemed to be in the fountain square, or near the classroom. There were obvious sounds of fighting around, covering up Seti's voice.
Most of it.
"Still can't hear clearly."
Ingrid muttered.
Annan motioned for Ingrid to pass the ring to her ear.
"... You... come back... pay attention to safety... Winter... Daughter of the Storm... Celestial Phenomenon..."
Still can't hear clearly.
Annan raised his head and frowned slightly.
And...why is there still something about Winter and the Daughter of the Storm?
Professor Gray is so careless...Why don't you record it properly? I can't hear you clearly at all.
"Let's find a quieter place."
Ingrid whispered: "It's still a bit noisy here."
"Then let's go there."
Annan soon saw a silent blind spot.
It was a narrow alley between two tall buildings, and there was a lot of garbage piled in it.
It's a bit troublesome for two people to pass. The narrowest part is still protruding, so the two of them can only walk sideways one after the other to avoid getting dust on their clothes.
