Chapter 3 The Ancient Tree of Wisdom by the Roadside
Bidding farewell to Mr. Boomstone, who had been transformed into a stereotype painting again, Qin Yue pulled the little purple hair through the giant arch of white jade texture and stepped on the stone path sandwiched between the ancient trees of wisdom. Feeling the vibration of the air around them, the ancient trees of wisdom woke up in unison, squinting their wise eyes and glancing at the girl who was standing at the school gate and looking around with a child in her hand. After a few moments, their eyes slowly widened.
The man of the nearest old oak shook the dense leaves above his head and made a rattling sound, attracting Qin Yue's attention.
"Oh goddess, look who's coming... Well, well, since it's your will. ”
The old oak man was like someone poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he wilted in an instant. The expression of excitement slowly faded, and it turned back into the original paralyzed face, "Welcome, Lord Starry Sky Saintess, and the inheritor of the goddess." If you have any questions about the Courtyard of the Dead, you can ask me. ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Treant. I would like to know where new students should go when they register. Qin Yue held Chu Feiyue with one hand, pressed her other hand into a half-clenched fist on her chest, looked up at the tall old tree man, and asked.
"Hehe, the admissions office is in front, three hundred meters ahead, the white building is where the new students register. It also serves as an internship location for certain academy courses, such as the Magician Workshop and the Mechanics Workshop. It seems that you don't know much about the Courtyard of the Dead, do you need me to explain it to you in detail? The old tree man asked with a stern but enthusiastic face.
Qin Yue nodded, and simply pulled Chu Feiyue to sit on the marble bench in front of the old oak man, making a deferential appearance. Under Qin Yue's care, Xiao Chu Feiyue swayed her lower legs, tilting her head and looking longingly at the fist-sized acorns hanging on the old oak man's head.
The old tree man smiled, stretched down a branch, and came to Xiao Chu Feiyue. A very good-looking and very large acorn fell off the branch and landed right in the hand of Xiao Chu Feiyue. Xiao Chu Feiyue reached out and picked it up, held it in her arms, patted it with her hand, and laughed happily.
"Brother, I want to say thank you at this time."
"Ahh Ahh ”
"Well... Thank you, Mr. Old Treeman, for your gift. Qin Yue sighed slightly, raised her head and thanked the old treeman.
The old treeman's wrinkled old face smiled very kindly and said, "You're welcome, it's nothing. As a tree man, it is very common to give your fruit as a gift. And as an Oak man, it should be my honor to give my fruit to a wise man, and I want to thank you for that. ”
After a pause, the old treant returned to the main topic.
"Then, I'll briefly introduce this departed courtyard, anyway, you will stay here for a short time, so let's find out the details yourself."
"The Courtyard of the Dead was built in the one hundred and twenty-fourth year after the end of the Ancient God War, and of course we prefer to call it the one hundred and twenty-fourth year of the Old Calendar. The four primordial elves personally took action, and it took a whole day to complete the entire construction of the building. ”
"Originally, the purpose of building this place was to shorten the number of years of education and speed up the cultivation of human resources. At that time, the empire had already rebuilt new cities from the mottled ruins of the Divine War, and it was time for everything to be rebuilt. But the eternal war has made us lose too many things, especially the high-end talents are almost exhausted, and there is no effective inheritance mechanism. As a result, the Great Magic Library of Bavaru, which is responsible for recording civilization, and the Courtyard of the Dead, which is responsible for passing on civilization, came into being. ”
"The flow of time in the courtyard of the dead is a hundred times that of the outside world, which greatly reduces the time it takes for the talents of the various races to become the pillars of the nation-building, so that the construction of the empire, which was once suspended, is once again on the right track. It can be said that without the merits of the Courtyard of the Dead, there would be no imperial civilization that is so prosperous now. ”
"With the completion of the imperial revival, the nature of the Courtyard of the Dead has changed from a place for specialized personnel training to a comprehensive teaching institution, with three major college classifications: the City of Wisdom, the City of Courage, and the City of Art. Under the jurisdiction of these three colleges, there are more detailed professional classifications, so I will not go into detail one by one. ”
"Because the speed of time is different from the outside world, the school system here has become very relaxed. Even if they have enough credits for graduation, they can stay in school for other courses or go on to a higher level of study as long as they wish, even if they die of old age. ”
"The philosophy of the Courtyard of the Dead is that there are no real fools, only misplaced geniuses, so there are no mandatory restrictions on the direction of students' learning. If you feel that this subject is not suitable for you, you can apply to the teacher to give up this course. But keep in mind that in order to graduate, you need at least 180 credits. Since I was planted here, I have lost count of the number of students who have not been able to graduate because they have not completed 180 credits in the longest number of years, and have only walked past me with their certificates of completion. ”
"As the Empire's greatest school, the Courtyard of the Dead has enrollment points in the large cities of every kingdom in the Empire. Due to population limitations, only a small percentage of the students in the Courtyard of the Dead are immortals such as elves and dwarves, and the vast majority are races that live for no more than a hundred years like humans and orcs. But it is undeniable that it is these little guys who have a short life like meteors who have built the empire so beautifully. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the previous Elven Empress to cede the position of Emperor Shengxiao to the king of the human realm. ”
"Hmm... That's all I have to say, and the admissions office is here to pick you up, so I won't delay your time. I wish you all a wonderful memory here. Mother Earth is protecting you! ”
Well, this old oak man is still a believer in the Druid nature religion...
Qin Yue turned her head to look, and happened to see a person flying towards this side on a magic flying carpet that pulled the wind. The distance of less than three hundred meters soon came to an end, and the white-bearded old man in the sky blue mage robe sat cross-legged on the magic flying carpet, looked around suspiciously, and finally raised his head, looked at the old oak man who had just introduced the departed courtyard to Qin Yue and Xiao Chu Feiyue, and asked, "Ma, what about the new life you are talking about?" ”
