Chapter 216: The meeting before the annual test
happened in the blink of an eye, more than two months later.
There are still four days left before the annual test of Dark Heart Academy.
In the meditation room of Blackstone Castle, Li He was meditating with the assistance of many meditation amplification props.
In the world of meditation, his conscious body controls energy factors to form meditation runes one after another.
In the end, a total of fifty-six different meditation runes appeared around the conscious body, more than double the number more than two months ago - this is one of the results of his continuous research on book materials. .
After observing the fifty-six meditation runes, with a thought, all the meditation runes quickly gathered together to create more complex combinations.
In a moment, fifty-six meditation runes turned into an incomplete ancient witchcraft script, whistling into the body of consciousness.
In an instant, his mental strength increased sharply.
At this time, Li He's meditation speed was far beyond the scope of ordinary apprentices. According to his estimation, he could break through the second-level wizard apprentice level and become a third-level wizard apprentice within a few days.
As for wizards, it can take up to one year to reach the qualifications for promotion.
And this is not the limit of meditation speed. Currently, he has completed the Aum Notes meditation method to fifty-six meditation runes. As the research continues to deepen, it is discovered that the total number of meditation runes in the Aum Notes meditation method may reach one hundred, or even exceed one hundred.
It was more difficult than he thought to combine the meditation runes into a truly complete ancient witchcraft script, but once the combination was successful, the rewards were unimaginable.
Everything is possible.
After meditating for a while with some excitement, Li He slowly opened his eyes in the meditation room and ended his meditation.
He took out a crystal ball from his clothes, quickly activated it, and tested it.
Crystal Ball gives quick feedback.
Mental strength: 34 points.
Once your spiritual power reaches 35 points, you can be regarded as a third-level wizard apprentice, and you are currently just one step away from the final step.
If he continues to work hard, it is very likely that he will break through to the third level wizard apprentice before the annual test.
That way, it will be easier during the annual test.
Li He was determined to continue meditating, but he remembered something.
If I remember correctly, he seemed to have other plans today.
Li He pursed his lips, took off his meditation robe, took off his meditation hat, stopped all the effective meditation props in the meditation room, and stepped out of the door.
Outside the door, Alex has been waiting for a long time.
"Great Master Li He, have you finished your meditation? I can feel that your spiritual power has become stronger. It seems that you have gained a lot." Alex said quickly.
"It's just a little gain." Li He responded calmly, "By the way, do I have any schedule for today?"
"Swipe!"
Alex quickly opened the notebook he carried with him and turned to the latest page. After a few glances, he quickly said: "According to your previous arrangements, Master, you will go to the Seagull Tower in half an hour to attend a meeting convened by your teacher Gauss." "Sure enough..." Li He narrowed his eyes, "I
will I remember, there seemed to be a gathering in the past two days. I was so immersed in meditation that I almost lost the concept of time. I thought it was tomorrow. Fortunately, I didn't miss it." "What about you, Master?" "I'm going out right now. You keep an eye on the
castle
. . If I come back late, please help me urge Fei'er and Wei'er. I asked them to help me process a batch of parts that should be completed at noon today. Don't forget the delivery time." "Understood." "
Yes
. ." After Li He finished his explanation, he simply arranged his clothes without further ado, quickly left Blackstone Castle and arrived at the external dormitory.
After walking out of the dormitory, while saluting all the way, I arrived at the stone tower of my teacher Gauss, which is also the so-called Seagull Stone Tower.
Walking up the steps to the sixth floor of the stone tower, I found that many people had already arrived early, all of them were other students of Gauss.
Among them, he saw Sean's figure, joking with a curly-haired female apprentice.
After noticing his arrival, Sean ended the conversation, walked over, and greeted warmly: "Li He, you're here. I thought you were going to be late, so I wanted to go find you." "I have something to do.
" , I almost forgot, but luckily, I caught up." Li He explained briefly.
"You, you, you are almost late for the teacher's assembly. You know, teachers usually don't hold meetings like this. There must be something important to say. If you are really late, the loss will be great." Sean shook his head, and then thought He glanced at the people in the distance and said, "There are several people here that you haven't seen before, right? They are all teachers and students who usually don't show up. There are also a few who have been practicing outside the academy for this gathering. I came back here specially.
They are all very powerful third-level wizard apprentices. Their strength is far greater than mine. If you want to get to know them, I can help you introduce them. I have some relationship with them, which will also be good for your future development. ."
"Forget it, you know me, I don't like to deal with people."
"Okay." Sean shrugged, not very surprised. He had had a lot of contact with Li He in more than two months, and he knew him well. , knowing that Li He doesn't like to deal with people. The reason for the proposal was just that if Li He agreed, he could ask Li He for more questions as a favor. If Li He didn't agree, there would be no loss.
"By the way." Li He asked at this time, "Sean, do you know the reason for this teacher gathering?" "What do you
think?"
"Annual test?"
"Eighty percent yes, otherwise we wouldn't let it happen. So many people are coming."
"Squeak!"
With a sound, a door on the wall opened, and a bright brown skeleton that looked like it was covered with a layer of caramel came out.
Everyone looked at him strangely, and the brown skeleton said: "Don't be surprised, I am the clone of your teacher Gauss. You can call me..."
At this point, the brown skeleton paused, raised his palm, and glanced at the moment. The number on the metacarpal bone said: "You can call me Teacher No. 7."
The skeleton continued: "Your teacher, my body, just contacted me. He is discussing some difficult things with a few old guys. Maybe I have to come later, so you can wait a moment and don't be anxious."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded slightly to express their understanding. However, several of them looked at the skeleton with strange eyes. It was obviously the first time they knew that their teacher Gauss actually had Such skeletons serve as doppelgangers.
Li He showed a thoughtful expression, remembering Geller's previous teacher Bobo Bonas, who asked Geller to call him Teacher No. 1, which is Gauss's clone No. 1, and now he is No. 7.
It is very likely that the total number of clones will be more than seven.
It seems that this teacher Gauss himself is a fanatic about clones.
Just as he was thinking about it, the brown skeleton spoke again and asked: "Is Hegway here? I have something to give him. Hegway?" After
shouting several times, no one answered. Sean blinked and looked at it. To show that the other party was not coming, a voice sounded from the stairs: "I'm here."
The next moment, I saw a male apprentice walking up the stairs.
The other person had thick blue hair, unfamiliar eyes, slightly furrowed brows, a deep and gloomy expression, and exuded a vague aura of coercion.
"Among our teacher's apprentice-level students, he is the most powerful one. All the standards have met the requirements for promotion to a wizard. He may be promoted to a wizard at any time. His strength is much stronger than the ones I wanted to introduce to you just now. Many, many." Sean was beside him and quickly explained to Li He.
Li He nodded lightly.
The male apprentice named Hagway walked up to the sixth floor hall. The brown skeleton pulled out a parchment scroll from a nearby bookshelf, handed it over, and said, "This is what you asked for before." "Thank you.
" Hegway took it and nodded.
"You're welcome." The brown skeleton waved his hand, thought of something, and said, "By the way, are you sure about your final choice? Prescription or potion?" Everyone was confused after hearing this, but Hegway obviously understood and frowned
. Wrinkled deeply, as if he was struggling, he pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Let me think about it again." "
Okay then." The brown skeleton did not rush, "Then think about it again, if you really If you can't make a decision, you can ask the apprentice, or discuss it with my body... Hey, he seems to be here." As he
spoke, the skeleton turned to look at the window on this floor.
Everyone looked around, and the next moment a strong wind blew open the windows and rushed in.
The air gathered and the figure of the wizard Gauss emerged.
"Teacher!"
"Hello, Teacher Gauss!"
"Hello, Dean!"
"Hello, teacher!"
More than a dozen students saluted quickly.
"Yes." Gauss smiled and nodded lightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "I have delayed a group of old guys for a while. It seems that you are all here. Well, let's not waste any more and get straight to the point of this meeting. Well. Some of you may have guessed that the reason why I called you here this time is for the annual test that is about to start."
Hearing this, Li He and Sean exchanged a look. Several other wizard apprentices also nodded slightly.
Gauss continued to say seriously: "Regarding the annual test, some of you have participated many times, and some are participating for the first time. I hope that the old people who have participated many times will not be arrogant, so as not to get into trouble because of their arrogance. Newcomers who have never participated, don’t be nervous and afraid, because it is useless.
Speaking of which, you can regard the annual test as a trial, and it is a trial with rewards. Just face it cautiously and bravely. This time The rules are the same as before. Those with the top 100 scores will receive rewards. Those with the top 30 scores will receive generous rewards. Those with the top 10 scores will receive special rewards, and are allowed to exchange the rewards for one use of the Apprentice's Mouth. opportunity. I think the purpose of many of you is to get into the top ten and use the apprentice's mouth, right?"
At this point, Gauss took a deep look at Li He.
He withdrew his gaze and continued: "Every one of you must want to achieve good results, but don't be too aggressive and do what you can. Although the annual test is relatively safe, sometimes people die, and injuries are very common. I There was a very good student before, your senior, who was seriously injured in the annual test. Although he was treated afterwards, he left sequelae. In the end, he was stuck at the third level wizard apprentice, and he never made a breakthrough. Hope. I hope you won’t be like him.”
After hearing this, everyone’s eyes froze.
"Okay, let's talk about what you are most concerned about." Gauss cleared his throat and said, "There is no surprise in this annual test. The place you are going to will be the Pale Forest. This is a very special place. In it Internally... you have to pay attention..."
Gauss kept talking for more than ten minutes before ending.
After listening, everyone showed thoughtful expressions and tried hard to remember what Gauss said. After all, this is related to the safety of the next annual test and whether they can achieve good results.
"Okay, that's it. This is relatively rough information. It's not illegal to tell you. In addition to what I told you, there are many other secrets and dangers in the Pale Forest. You must be careful when you are in it. That’s it for today’s meeting. If there’s nothing else to do, let’s let it go. As for me, I still have some things to deal with, so I’ll leave first.” After saying that, without giving everyone time to react, Gauss turned into a strong wind and rushed out of the window
. ,Disappear.
The apprentices at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then did not disperse quickly according to Gauss's instructions. Instead, they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.
The curly-haired female apprentice who had been talking to Sean before quickly brought a few people together to discuss it.
Li He listened briefly and found out that they were discussing the formation of a temporary group to help each other in the annual test.
The curly-haired female apprentice named Zhu Li said to the person next to her very convincingly: "Although we are all students of Mr. Gauss, we are not the most powerful batch of apprentices in the academy. We got the top 100 in the annual test and got the test." There is no big problem, but it is difficult to get into the top thirty, or even the top ten.
I propose that we help each other, while ensuring our own safety, try our best to help one of them improve his performance, and try to improve the other to the top. Ten, you can get a very high reward this way, and then divide the reward equally, everyone will gain a lot, how about it?"
The people who were pulled together by Julie were a little moved after hearing this.
But some people also raised questions: "How to determine which person to help improve your performance? What if the other party does not share the reward equally after the improvement? Don't tell me, Julie, you want us to help you improve your performance. For that purpose The sex is too strong."
"How come? If you have any objections, we can draw lots to select people who can help improve performance, okay?" "
That's okay..."
During the discussion, Zhu Li looked towards Hegeway, who was about to leave, quickly said: "Senior Hegeway, do you want to join our group and help each other in the annual test?" "
Huh?" Hegeway paused slightly, thinking twice. Hitomi's eyes looked at Zhu Li as if she was confused, but then she smiled coldly, turned around and left without making any answer.
Zhu Li asked for trouble and shrugged: "Well, it seems that Senior Hegeway doesn't like us. It's no wonder. He took ninth place in the annual test last year. He is stronger this year and there is no need to cooperate with us. . What about you?"
Zhu Li suddenly looked at Li He and said, "Your name is Li He, right? You are Mr. Gauss's newest student. Are you interested in joining us?" "
Me? Well..."
...
It has been all day long . I was busy, so I didn't have time to code until the evening. After coding, I uploaded it all.
Sorry everyone, we will try our best to resume normal updates tomorrow.
