Chapter 12 Grant Academy of Natural Sciences

In early spring, when there should be new branches and buds, the flowers, plants and trees in the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences seem to be of a special species and remain lush even after the entire winter.

Soon, under the leadership of Bai Ling, the two came to a five-story stone building made of white granite.

The walls on both sides of the building are covered with green vines. Through the gaps between the entangled vine leaves, you can vaguely see the exquisite carvings on the granite. The most eye-catching thing is the huge stone pillars. After careful carving, the stone pillars look like Scholars holding books lowered their heads and supported the roof with their shoulders.

"This is the teaching building. The first floor is the classroom for your first-year students. The second and third floors are the classrooms for senior students. The higher floor is the public activity hall. However, senior students usually study and travel outside and rarely visit the college. .”

In front of the teaching building, there is a statue of an old man.

The statue has been eroded by the baptism of time, and it can be vaguely seen that it is an old man holding a book, who has been baptized by rain, snow, wind and frost.

Bai Ling said: "This is the great Antonio pioneer, one of the three great pioneers in human history. He revealed the objective laws of biological evolution, natural selection, and survival of the fittest. It is also because of him that the nature of the Principality of Gran The Academy of Sciences has become one of the two most powerful academies today, and the old man is his loyal admirer!"

"Three pioneers? I know the pioneer Benny Evans who published "Heliocentric Theory". Who is the other pioneer?"

Lei Luo asked curiously.

Because the pioneer who was burned to death by the church had a wide range of influence, not only within the church and the academic class, but also widely spread among the common people. However, because it touched the light faith of the church, few people mentioned that person in public. Pioneers, even scholars from major colleges.

"Gauss Adolf of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Principality of Sealand! The great pioneer Gauss Adolf used mathematical foundations to reveal the objective laws of the operation of the natural environment. Tides are due to the movement of the moon, earthquakes are due to the movement of the earth's crust, storms, frost, etc. are all The flow of natural energy in the world has thus laid the academic foundation for natural laws, which is what civilians call elemental magic.”

Lei Luo suddenly thought of Ornn's fireball technique.

Needless to say, the Sealand Academy of Natural Sciences must be another top university that can compete with the Glenland Academy of Natural Sciences.

The teaching building is very quiet and empty.

Lei Lu saw the big characters in front of the teaching building, which were the same as the stone tablet in front of the college gate, and couldn't help but read out loud again: "Respect the teacher, and pass the legacy from generation to generation."

"That is the school motto, which tells us that the knowledge we have learned was obtained by our ancestors through hard exploration. We must respect the efforts of our ancestors and respect our mentors and ancestors from the bottom of our hearts. Only then can knowledge be passed on from generation to generation and move toward rationality. , civilization, and glorious beautiful world.”

Bai Ling seemed to be trying to act mature in front of Lei Luo.

"oh!"

Lei Luo nodded seriously.

The basis for scholars to learn knowledge is inheritance!

Scholars also have beliefs, but unlike churches and many temples that believe in gods, what scholars believe in are academic topics and knowledge concepts adhered to by their ancestors. Some academics even require the unremitting efforts of several generations before they can be verified!

While scholars of the younger generation have faith in their ancestors, they also believe that they will be able to surpass their ancestors and pass on knowledge to the future!

Knowledge is passed on, and the way scholars grow is truly amazing.

"There is no one inside. School will officially start in two days. Let's go somewhere else."

After walking around in front of the teaching building for a while, Bai Ling took Lei Luo away.

Following Bai Ling, Lei Luo walked through a lakeside corridor.

On the lake, red-billed gulls swim in groups.

"The college is divided into two parts: the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is in front of it. Only scholars who have completed the graduation assessment and obtained the natural degree certificate can enter the inner courtyard. Have you seen the tallest building? That is the Grand Royal Palace. The research institute is also called the Scholars Tower, and people outside like to call it the Magic Tower. How about it, it’s spectacular!”

When he first entered the academy, Aoun kept shouting excitedly when he saw this tower, but Lei Luo didn't take it seriously at that time.

Now looking up at the tower at close range through the metal fence, for a moment, Lei Luo felt like an ant, standing at the feet of the sky-high giant, small and humble, looking up at the vastness.

The pressure that rushes towards you is the breath of truth that comes from scholars exploring the laws of nature. In this breath, it seems like a big hand is slowly wiping away the heavy dust, uncovering layers of darkness and fog, longing for Know yourself, know the world, and know the vast universe and starry sky.

"Hehe, when I pass the graduation exam this year and get the natural science degree certificate, I can go in and play!"

Bai Ling murmured happily.

"It turns out that degree certificates are so important! When I read biographical novels, I wondered why magicians rarely stayed in their fiefdoms and were all striving for higher professional titles."

Lei Luo whispered.

Bai Ling rolled his eyes and said: "You, as a scholar, never call yourself a magician in front of other scholars in the future. You will be laughed at."

"Oh, got it!"

Lei Luo realized that he had lost his temper and said calmly: "Then...instructor Gu Bo, what is your degree?"

"He, when he married my mother more than 20 years ago, he received an extraordinary degree certificate from the Royal Academician Council. He has always dreamed of being admitted to the Royal Academician Council."

Bai Ling thought for a while and then said: "If you compare truth to a big tree and knowledge to the fruits on the tree, then enlightenment scholars are just a group of slow-moving people who work hard to learn to pick fruits on the ground, while naturalists are looking for low-level people. The fruit-bearer, the mystic scholar and the transcendent scholar, is the one who constantly strives to pick the fruits of higher knowledge.”

"ah?"

This metaphor is very strange. In the process of exploring the laws of truth, Lei Luo had an image of a group of people working hard to pick fruits from a big tree in his mind.

Needless to say, this metaphor definitely did not come from this Bai Ling senior...

It was probably from her father, the ancient Bo tutor.

"What about...the Royal Academician's degree?"

Bai Ling, who was leading the way, said "En", pondered for a moment, and thought for a moment: "It should be the person who picks the fruits that others can't see. Anyway, he is very powerful. There are people in the corridor of the teaching office of every college. The old man has always dreamed of having their portraits hung on them after his death!"

The Royal Academician is so powerful, Lei Luo can no longer imagine the pioneer.

After walking around the long iron fence, Lei Luo followed Bai Ling to the bustling street shops.

"This is Scholar Street. People outside also like to call it Magic Shop Street, or First Street. Mercenaries often come here to buy magic props and magic potions, and they also bring some natural specimens and precious materials obtained from outside adventures. Sold here.”

This was the bustling street that Lei Luo could see when he entered the gate of the college. It was so large that it took up a small half of the outer courtyard of the college, and brought considerable profits to the college.

Bai Ling seems to have another purpose.

The two of them walked straight through the busy streets and came to a store called 'Review of Amynasus'.

According to legend, Amynassus is a beautiful god who was born after the ancient war. Different from the unsearchable ancient gods in the human kingdom, as a god born after the ancient war of the Wizarding Rebellion, humans can become gods, or It is said that there is an existence between humans and gods, similar to the status of human pioneers. Although Amynasus lacks divine power, he is believed by some young girls because of his teachings.

The owner of the shop is a beautiful middle-aged woman who still retains her charm. She has a white neck and the pearl pendants on her ears are very eye-catching. When she saw Bai Ling, she recognized her and said with a smile on her face: "Miss Bai Ling, are you here to see your ice elf fox again?" ?”

"Yeah!"

Bai Ling nodded excitedly.

The boss quickly took out a cage from the depths of the store, which contained a small, snow-white fox, with white spots all over its body, spotless, and its big, smart eyes looking at Bai Ling and Lei Luo outside the cage, looking pitiful.

The fox's breath seemed to be extremely cold, and there was a layer of frost on the cage.

"Warcraft!"

Lei Luo recognized at a glance that this young fox was a magical beast with the talent of frost.

"certainly!"

The shop owner looked at Lei Luo, then at Bai Ling, guessing the relationship between the two, and said with a smile: "This ice elf fox is a rare and highly intelligent spiritual creature in Warcraft. I use it as my medium partner. Not only does it have the wisdom of ordinary spiritual beings and is not hindered by the speed of energy magnetic field increase, but it also has the characteristics of Warcraft and can be used as one's own fighting partner. It is a rare and top-quality medium partner for enlightenment scholars!"

After a pause, seeing Lei Luo looking at the little fox in a trance, the middle-aged beautiful woman teased the cage and said, "Don't look at how pitiful it is now, this little guy is very smart. If you don't pay attention, he will disappear in a hurry."

"I won't run."

The little fox actually spoke. It was the childlike voice of a human little girl. She lay in the cage and looked at Lei Luo, and said pitifully: "Hug me, I'm so cold..."

"Forehead?"

Lei Luo was stunned, he would not be easily fooled.

Bai Ling withdrew his gaze from Binghu and said reluctantly: "I have paid you one hundred and sixty gold coins, and there are still forty gold coins left, but I can't give it to you today. This is my new junior brother. I want to pay you for it." He prepared a meeting gift."

"It turns out that he is the new junior brother. He really needs to prepare a meeting gift!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman took back the cage and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not easy for a little girl like you to save more than a year's pocket money. I will take good care of this ice elf for you." Fox, with it as your media partner, you will definitely pass the graduation exam smoothly!"

"Yeah!"

Bai Ling's face was full of admiration and he nodded excitedly.

Lei Luo also learned some information from the conversation between the two. It turned out that this senior Bai Ling had been saving money here for more than a year in order to buy this ice elf fox as her medium partner, and there was still some money left.

Two hundred gold coins?

Such a huge sum of money is indeed an unimaginable amount for Lei Luo!

But think about it from another perspective. Scholars who can come to the academy for further study are generally nobles from various places. In this case, such high consumption is not a problem.

Moreover, the so-called pocket money Bailing asked Gu Bo today was to prepare a meeting gift for himself?

Bai Ling stood in front of the shop, eyes rolling, as if he had thought of some good idea, and said with a strange smile: "That's right! Let's scare the bottle!"

The female boss understood and also showed a strange smile.

"Only you, a naughty senior sister, can think of giving something like this to your junior brother!"

After saying that, the beautiful middle-aged woman took out a palm-sized dark green hand bottle and handed it to Bai Ling. Bai Ling took out her money bag and handed the other party a handful of silver coins.

"Thank you!"

With a smile on his face, Bai Ling took Lei Luo out of the store.

"Hehe, junior brother, you must not know the function of this scare bottle, but it's fun. I'll show it to you later!"

It's getting late, and the days in early spring are very short.

Bai Ling naturally took Lei Luo's hand and said excitedly: "Senior Brother Wushuang, it's almost time to come over. Come, follow me to see mother and Senior Brother Wushuang!"
