Chapter 180 Lying in the Snow
The first snow of this winter is said to have come a little later than in previous years. Snowflakes are falling from the sky. Everyone says they are actually abandoned children of black clouds that only thundered a few days ago. Now they are crying and expressing their loss. Just as the first snow fell to the canopy, the examination season of the Elite Academy has ended, and everyone is either liberated or liberated.
Before it snowed, Dagon walked out of the room and used earth transportation techniques to create an elemental energy lounge chair for himself so that he could keep looking at the sky. The live forest of Seonamilis looks four seasons every year. If spring is colorful, summer is green, and autumn is a confrontation between red and gold, then the characteristic of winter is the simple white snow that embellishes all over the campus.
He had never seen snow, so he was naturally very curious. He heard that it was cold water falling from the sky, but not ice, but something like frosting and flour. Well, Dagon was indeed interested by the two metaphors of frosting and flour, and he must look at the snow.
The snowflakes fell on his face, cool and it felt very interesting. Dagon reached out and grabbed it, wanting to take a closer look at the shape of the snowflakes, but he could only see a little water remaining in the palm lines. When maintaining the earth movement technique, the elemental energy kept flowing on his body. Among the elemental characteristics of Dagon, the fire element still occupies a larger share than the earth element, so his body surface will be relatively hot, and a larger amount of snow is needed to accumulate white on him.
Star Helmet likes the warmth on Dagon's body surface, especially near the neck, where the heat is concentrated, the curve of the neck forms a groove, and a large number of beards as "tops". It's so good here. It snows outside, so it exposed its head and looked at it, stretched its tongue and pulled the snowflakes in the air to eat, and then spitted twice, indicating that this thing had no smell.
"That's water," said Dagon. "Little fool, it's not sugar or flour."
A big rolled his eyes and said the answer from Star Helmet. Then it crawled out and used the tip of its tail to connect a few snowflakes to show it to Dagon. This was a smart bear lizard. It knew that the tip of its tail was low, and at the same time, it also knew that Dagon was very curious about the snowflakes. Seeing its actions, Dagon touched Star Helmet's head in a doting way, and stroked it from the top of its head to the tail to make it feel comfortable. He looked at the snowflakes carefully and sent the Star Helmet back under his beard. After all, it was a bit cold outside.
Snowflakes stretched out his hand from the sky and gently stroked his cheeks, but there was no nostalgia. Dagon quietly experienced all this, and the cold feeling could calm him down. Tomorrow is the day when he made an appointment with Professor Chihoro Dongdong, and he was nervous about it. This meeting will not be the kind of meeting where both parties sit down, ask me, I ask you, and improve their understanding of each other, but will be an assessment.
In addition to Dagon, there are five students. Professor Dongdong wants to choose the students of his next school year among these six people. He likes to do this in the early snow in winter, which is related to his surname, and seems to be a superstition. The specific assessment content and standards are kept confidential, and it may be to complete some kind of challenge, defeat the monsters created by illusion, or pour a cup of tea for Professor Dongdong. No one can say that.
The exams in previous years were not used as reference, because the eliminated people did not know why they were eliminated, and those who passed either did not know the reason for their success, or were unwilling to say it in order to keep it confidential. Professor Dongdong recruited new students every few years, but he did not guarantee whether he could recruit students, nor did he care about how many students he recruited.
There is only one statement that is generally accepted: since the college needs to assess the work of tutors, tutors must ensure that they have to teach a certain number of students every year. When the previous students leave, Professor Dongdong must make up for the number of students, and the quota will be relatively easy to get. Unfortunately, in recent years, professors have enough students and will not be reduced to the warning line of the number of students in a while. Therefore, this winter is a "difficult year". He does not need "redundant students", and only the best ones can stay.
I don’t know what I need to prepare, so just prepare for my mentality. Dagong appreciates the snow scene and continues to practice earthwork techniques by the way, which makes him very relaxed. After the exam the day before yesterday, the crowd of the No. 15 Mining Group had a dinner together - by the way, the nursing class also joined in, and everyone thought that they should continue to train and deal with next year’s martial arts exam - several Jiangu people were lying out. The worst one should be Hanmodum, who fell three times in total.
The door next to it creaked and then slowly opened, Hanmodum walked out with the trash can. He yawned, looking like he couldn't open his eyes, and was still shaking when he walked. Dargon turned his head and looked at him quietly, but he didn't notice at all.
"I'm not vigilant enough!" Dagon shouted, and Hanmodom finished the long yawn that seemed to be forever before turning his head.
"Dagon, early! Are you watching the snow?"
"Before, I'm watching the snow. I haven't seen it before. It's been a day, why haven't you recovered yet?" Dagon said: "You can't be lazy. You have to take on the load and continue to exercise your endurance."
"I know I know. After a while I wash my face, I will start carrying weights." He put the trash can on the ground and made a bang. He wiped his hand on his body, then walked slowly over. He saw the "recliner" under Dagon and asked, "Are you practicing spells?"
"Runish spells, runes are 'luck'." Dagong took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then stood up, and eliminated the earth-powered technique. "The spells consume a little too much, and I still have to strengthen the cultivation of the magic cycle."
"You are almost flying with this spell, and of course the consumption is large. I think it shows the characteristics of the elemental runes in the earth?" Hanmodom pointed to the ground with a circle and said, "It seemed like there was soil moving just now, like a swamp with bubbles."
"Yes, it's indeed the rune of the earth element."
"Hmm? Your statement is not right. Runes are runes. What kind of element mana drives them, they will present the characteristics of the element." Hanmodom said: "If you want to float, then it is wrong to use the earth element. Wood will be better, and gold will be fine. You say that you consume too much, which may be related to this."
"There is such a saying?" Dagon pulled his beard and said, "I haven't started to learn spells systematically and don't understand these things. I know a few runes, and I directly call my body's mana to activate them, and I have never considered the coordination of elemental characteristics."
"You have several runes? Are you not able to do anything else?" Hanmodom shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's boring to compare with you. I'm not convinced anyway. I only know one rune spell, and the rune is scrambled, which can help me short and promote speed up. But it's useless for me to add speed, and it's still not fast enough to catch up with the elves."
"You have many strokes of runes, and my runes are relatively simple."
"It is said that simple words are good, but I forgot why. Alas, I should learn when I was young, and I had all kinds of teachers when I was in Jingjin Valley. I really wanted to teach me, but unfortunately I didn't cherish them." Hanmodom said: "My element characteristics are earth and gold. The sharp gold elements are more in line with the runes, which can be faster and the consumption can be lower. I personally feel that elements have a lot to do with the performance of runes. If you can control which element is used, especially the pure single-element mana, the performance effect of the runes will also change."
"Thank you for your reminder, I'll try to recover."
"If you don't even know about this, then you should find a good teacher and learn magic systematically. With your ability, there should be no problem with the basic quality assessment. You can find a teacher at that time." Hanmodom touched his beard and thought about it, and said, "If you pass the basic quality assessment next year, then there will be a chance: Qihoro Dongdong will have four or five students to graduate, and he has to find new students to charge the numbers, and you will have a great chance. After the mistake, you will probably have to wait for the next batch of three or four years."
"I'll go to his place for an exam tomorrow," said Dagon.
"What? You go tomorrow? How can you go if you don't pass the basic quality assessment? Wait..." Hanmodom opened his mouth wide and said, "You are not the kind of person who can buy a place with a lot of money, so you should be specially invited. Who has such great energy? Do you still know senior officials in the college?"
"Our arrow mask is what Professor Chihoro Dongdong sets it. He thought my idea was interesting, so he asked me to try it. I don't know what to take, but I'll try it. Someone recommended him to me and said that he could teach it seriously. I see that there are elves among the people who are going to go this time, and his level should be good."
"It's not good, but it's pretty good!" Hanmodom said: "The person who recommended you is right. Professor Dongdong is a very serious person in the college, and is even a bit old-fashioned. I know he said: My lifespan is not as long as the elf, so I won't waste every day and every second!"
"This sentence is interesting."
"He is a very serious person. The students he taught say that he is indeed very skilled in magic, and he is top-notch in both personal abilities and skills he teaches." Hanmodom said: "He is not famous outside the academy. On the one hand, because he is a dwarf, and he seems to have committed something and cannot go back, so he is no longer famous. On the other hand, he is good at illusions, and illusions are often misunderstood as deceitful things - what is that word called? Yes, wizards in other fields do not like illusions, which are related to these."
"You also recommend me to study with him?"
