Chapter 14 Thalia’s Professional Judgment
Most of the time, they each quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.
like a statue.
The strange and beautiful scenery came into view on the highway and passed by in a flash.
After a day of riding, it is now noon of the second day.
Lanqi supported his chin with one hand, looking away from the scroll-like scenery outside the window, and instead looked at the clock on the train.
As sparse buildings and pastures gradually appeared on the outskirts of the city, Lanqi felt that he was not far from the destination.
“Speaking of Tata, what does the shadow world look like to you?”
He seemed to have finally tired of looking at the scenery, and turned to Thalia to ask a question.
As the highest difficulty random copy that he knew was not fully developed, Lan Qi also found a lot of information about the "Shadow World" in the books about this world.
It's just that the mysterious "shadow world" is far more complicated than he understands. In this real world, it has completely turned into an endless number of dangerous copies.
And the Icerite Magic Academy he is about to go to was originally an academy established with the goal of "cultivating talents who can conquer the shadow world."
The entrance examination will naturally be related.
“Leaving the Shadow World alone or failing to conquer it will lead to natural disasters somewhere in the world, but by clearing it you can gain power and wealth.”
Thalia replied simply without moving her eyes.
Before she agreed to be Lanqi’s teacher, she always responded with the same attitude whenever Lanqi asked her questions about magic cards.
Lan Qi nodded when he heard this and had no intention of asking any more questions.
Same as written in the book.
For people in this world, the shadow world is like a double-edged sword.
Completing the Shadow World will receive a large number of rewards, including core materials for making magic cards, as well as pure natural magic cards that are more powerful than artificial ones.
Failure to conquer will cause a natural disaster somewhere in the world. If left alone, the shadow world will automatically close after a certain time limit, which will also cause natural disasters to encroach on the real world.
So every country and large forces in the world are doing their best to cultivate talents who are good at conquering the shadow world.
“The shadow world…will appear at fixed or random entrances to this world without warning. They are fragments of world history or projections of the history of other worlds.”
Thalia added another sentence.
It seems that out of her duties as a teacher, she will answer a little more questions about magic cards, just a little.
But both of them have become accustomed to this way of communicating at any time.
“That’s it…”
Lan Qi said to himself thoughtfully.
The books in the Border Library record that the shadow world will gradually open at regular intervals, and the number is endless. The timelines and world views may also be different, some are easy and simple, and some are extremely dangerous.
After entering the film world, people will gain unexpected new identities to interpret historical fragments.
This means that no weapons, decorations, or ordinary magic props can be brought into the shadow world.
Except—magic cards bound to the soul.
This is also the reason why magic cards will become the mainstream props in this era. They will bring indispensable help when conquering the shadow world.
Looking at it this way, there is indeed an inexplicable causal relationship between the shadow world and magic cards. The raw materials for magic cards need to be produced from the shadow world, but with magic cards, it is easier for people in this world to pass through the shadow world.
I really don’t know how the ancient creatures in the pioneering period fought through those **** dungeons without magic cards when the Shadow World first emerged...
“We’ve arrived at the station.”
Thalia's voice interrupted Lan Qi's thoughts like water drops falling on the ice. He turned his head and saw that the scenery outside the window had slowly stopped. It was a station with a roof made of ocher-red bricks.
The towering towers at both ends make the entire building look solemn and spectacular. The interior of the station is richly decorated, with marble pillars, murals and stained glass windows all highlighting the weight of history.
Different from the border city-state of Nanwantina, this royal city named Ikerita is grand and prosperous while also retaining many historical elements.
Without much hesitation, Lanci took off the suitcase from the luggage rack and left the arriving train with Thalia.
…
Walking through the concourse level of Icerita Central Station, the noise gradually faded away.
Lanci and Thalia came to the wide square, took a small tour carriage, and started a new journey in this city.
The afternoon sun shines on the carriage, swaying gently, bringing leisure and comfort.
Looking from a distance, you can see the tulips and calla lilies clustered together in the royal plant garden. The various plants are like mist and gauze, full of green.
The sound of horse hooves echoed in the ancient cobblestone streets, and the wheels hummed and rolled. Even just leaning on the seat, Lan Qi could witness the unique architectural style of Icerite along the way: magnificent houses, brick-red walls, and pointed roofs. The eaves, as well as the exquisite ancient carvings.
Carriages passed by along the winding canal, and with the breeze, ripples appeared on the water, reflecting the reflection of the willow trees gently brushing the water.
“When we get to the college later, do you want to go shopping together?”
Lanchi turned his head and looked at Thalia beside him and asked.
“What do you think?”
Thalia asked in response to Lanqi's seemingly friendly, but actually shameless invitation.
Since she wanted to protect Lan Qi, she actually had no choice. Even after three months, she still had no idea who the guy who wanted to kill Lan Qi was.
She only knew that Lan Qi's statement that "someone wanted to kill him" was true.
On the way, the carriage passed an ancient stone bridge. The mottled beige stone bricks bear witness to the vicissitudes of time. Under the bridge, the canal water gently lapped against the stone piers, making a quiet sound. Above the head, a group of seagulls hovered in the sky, flying freely. .
“There’s nothing I can do about it, it’s very important for me to go to the academy today.”
Lan Qi closed his eyes and spread his hands.
Different from the two branches of the Alchemy Academy and the Magic Engineering Academy, the Knights Academy and the Sage Academy have actually started the first part of the assessment when applying.
That is, attribute testing.
If your attribute growth is too poor, you may not be able to participate in the formal assessment.
Since the recruitment goals of the Knights Academy and the Sage Academy are to cultivate rare talents who can conquer the high-level shadow world, once entering the shadow world, not only the challenger's own life may be in great danger, but also the survival of his companions, And whether it can help protect the world from natural disasters. Therefore, the entrance examinations of these two branches will have strict requirements on the candidates' practical qualities.
After passing the first part of the attribute test, the formal test, also known as the second part, will use an artificially simulated shadow world to examine the student's actual coping ability. The final assessment of the third part is a functional combat test arranged by the department.
After detailed research on the academy, Lan Qi finally chose to change the branch he applied for from the Alchemy Academy to the Sage Academy, which specializes in actual legal combat.
Because of his natural attribute bias or functional compatibility, there is no possibility of becoming a material professional, so he has little hope of passing the first level of the Knights Academy.
…”
Thalia said no more.
She was very clear about Lan Qi’s itinerary and arrangements, and she also heard from Lan Qi the format of the exam that Lan Qi would face next.
Just based on the knowledge she accumulated over the long years as an immortal species, traveling through the demon world and many human countries, she still doesn't know what kind of combat profession to define Lanqi.
Leave this headache to Icerite Academy.
She won’t be the one who deserves the worst anyway.
