From star abyss

The water pipe was ticking and releasing water magic. Hobbes put away the medicine bottles one by one, looked up at himself in the mirror, and looked haggard on his face.

He has only been in school for less than half a year, but he looks like he is three years older, and his bun has a little more gray hair.

"This is just a necessary price..."

Hobbes had no opinion on this. He raised his hand and looked at the ring on his middle finger.

From being completely black and translucent at first, now, the ring has almost completely faded and turned pale. If someone feels it carefully, they will find that the once strong and powerful spiritual power in the ring is almost exhausted at this moment, and it seems that it will disappear soon.

"The time is almost up, Lian Na, if you wait a little longer, I will succeed."

Hobbes lowered his head, clenched his fists, and kissed the ring. His tired and wavering eyes immediately became firm.

There isn't much time left for him.

He is different from geniuses like Lucite and Leoz. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, they are not outstanding, just ordinary students, but the ordinary people in this school have talents far beyond themselves.

With my own qualifications, it was extremely difficult to sneak into this school. With the help of medication, I could barely keep up with the progress.

"We must persevere, for Lian Na, and for the sake of this unfair world..."

Hobbes clenched his fists tightly and made up his mind. He washed his face with water and his thinking became clearer. He lost his temper and returned to his usual cheerful and friendly appearance.

After walking out of the bathroom, Hobbs immediately received a message from someone else:

[Good buddy - Leoz]: "I'm fighting with Dialan in Arena No. 12. You should go see Lucite first."

"This guy..." Hobbes was speechless.

Although he had tried to persuade her several times in private and hinted that the "Golden Princess" had a mediocre reputation, Leoz seemed to be very short of credits and no longer cared so much.

"No, Leos is not an idiot, and Di Yalan is not a good girl. He will not get close to Di Yalan just for a mere 20 credits - well, is that just for beauty?"

Hobbes pondered:

"Di Yalan is indeed extremely beautiful. It's normal for young and restless students to do this - but in the future, let's introduce some normal female students to Leos. In addition to her excellent bloodline and beautiful appearance, everything else, regardless of Whether it’s family background or financial situation, Di Yalan is really not good enough.”

Forget it, Leos may have his own plans. When he hits a wall, he will definitely drag them to drink and complain. As a good brother, it's better to respect his blessings.

Hobbes didn't want to lose such a pure friend.

After all, in this school, everyone has their own purpose and secret, otherwise Lina would not have been brutally murdered... Those who can still maintain a certain aspect of innocence, such as Leoz and Lucite, the differences between them Friendship is too rare, too rare, and as precious as a gem.

"Leoz has his own considerations, so there shouldn't be any problems."

After turning off the information rune, Hobbs was about to continue to the library to meet Lucite. He had just taken a few steps when a female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Sorry, this classmate, can you interrupt me for a moment?"

Hobbes turned his head and saw a beauty wearing a veil walking towards him. A pair of snow-green eyes were slightly narrowed, like a crescent moon, truly explaining what it means to be charming and silky. She carries a lyre with her, is dressed quite coolly, and has an extremely alluring voice. She seems to be the kind of bard that is more common in small cities.

This is a rare beauty - but beauty is not attractive to Hobbs, not only because of his dedication to Lena, but also because of the real beauties like Leos, who kill both men and women, in front of him every day. I've long been used to it.

Hobbes asked friendly:

"You don't look like a student. Did you encounter any problems?"

"As you can see, this is my first time coming to your school. I want to visit a friend I haven't seen for many years, but I don't know where she is at the moment."

The female bard said, her snow-green eyes blinking, conveying an expression of distress.

Hobbes was indifferent and asked, "Well, who is the person you are looking for?"

"Nastisa Dantain." The female bard said: "She said that she was an associate professor in this school for many years, but she has not been in contact for a long time. I don't know if she is still here."

"Nastisa? That happens to be the dean of our School of Magic Applications." Hobbs was slightly surprised: "It's just that I don't remember that it was more than a hundred years ago when she was an associate professor..."

"Huh? Maybe I remembered it wrong." The female bard smiled and said: "Since she is the dean of our college, brother, you should know where her office is, right?"

"I know, I know. You can find her on the map - but you can't find her now." Hobbes scratched his head.

"Huh?" The female bard blinked: "What's going on?"

"Well, you must be a foreigner, so you don't know."

Hobbes pointed to the sky:

"Although Trivira is the capital of the White Candle Star, the base of the Ministry of Education is located in outer space orbit. Senior scholars at the dean level must have a path up to the Zeta stage. Every three months , they all have to go to the Ministry of Education to participate in training, listen to the will of the Supreme Council, and submit their own belief reports to ensure that their materialist beliefs cannot be shaken - this is their training period, and it will only take a week. return."

"Yes, that's true." The female bard held her chin, "White Candle Star itself can only tolerate the upper limit of Zeta-level powerhouses. People of that level cannot live on the surface for a long time."

"Yes." Hobbes shrugged: "The planet has limits. Strong people who exceed this limit will lose strength and become unhealthy if they stay on the planet for a long time."

"Oh? So there is such a thing?"

As soon as these words came out, the female bard was surprised to see Hobbes, and immediately explained:

"I'm just a mortal, and I know nothing about the Tao. But if you put it this way, doesn't White Candle Star have no strong men above the Zeta level to take charge?"

Hobbes sensed the opponent's biological frequency, which was indeed at the gamma level.

‘You are really a mortal, but for a mortal to know someone of the dean’s level, he is probably related to him, so it’s better to be polite. ’

Hobbes had a very shrewd mind. After he had figured it out, he did not hesitate because the other party was a mortal, but explained seriously:

"It's normal to have this kind of worry - but it's impossible for us at White Candle Star to have such a problem."

"how do I say this?"

"The White Candle Star itself is only an educational planet and does not produce any precious strategic resources. This has reduced the interest of many interstellar robbery groups."

Hobbes explains:

"Furthermore, White Candle Star has a Kapa-level Minister of Education in charge. Even if there is an invasion by a super Zeta-level powerful person, he can respond immediately."

"There is no need to say more about the strong men of the Kapa level, right? Even in interstellar wars, they are very important strategic weapons, and they have the power blessed by the star abyss to crush planets. For them, it is like eating and drinking water. nature."

"With such a prestigious reputation, what blind robbery group would dare to enter White Candle Star?"

This statement is quite reliable. The female bard nodded:

"That's true."

It's just that in her words and look, she didn't seem to agree with this statement.

Hobbes had a keen eye for words and saw that the other party seemed to have different opinions about what he wanted to say. However, before asking, the female bard waved her hand: "Since Nastisa is not here, I will leave today and wait for another day." Come visit again. Thank you, little brother."

"It's nothing, you can get the same answer from anyone you ask." Hobbes disagreed.

"That's not necessarily the case." The female bard smiled: "You are a good person - in this case, consider this a thank you gift, please accept it."

As if by magic, she took out a card from behind and handed it to Hobbes.

Hobbes curiously took the card and looked at it carefully for a while. It should be some kind of mysterious creation, something like a talisman. The ancient words on it seemed to mean blessing and good luck.

When he raised his head, the woman had disappeared.

"What a strange man."

Hobbes muttered and put the amulet away.

"I don't know what the relationship is between her and Dean Nastisa Dantain - she said she hadn't seen the dean for many years, and she said that the dean was an associate professor - isn't she as young as she looks? But Her aura is obviously that of a mortal, how can a mortal live for so long?"

There is another thing that he cares about very much.

When he said, 'Which blind robbery group dares to enter White Candle Star? ’ At this time, the female bard showed a questioning and strange look for a moment.

That look... It's like saying, 'Are you kidding me?'

But in fact, this is the case. Bai Zhuxing has never had any need to worry about such things.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. Hobbes didn't continue to think about it. A lot of time had been wasted. Lucite was still waiting for him.

……………………

White candle star outer space orbit.

The 'Amaryllis' Fortress relies on the gravity of the planet to levitate. The white candle star rotates calmly three million meters above the ground. It relies on the centrifugal force of the rotation to allow the mages and officials inside to stand firmly in it.

The teleportation hall lit up, and after a brief flash of figures, Nastisa Dantain raised her head and calmly followed the surrounding mages into the hall.

"Hey, the most annoying time has come."

Master Carl Rufus, the dean of the School of Foreign Relations, complained in a low voice:

"Once every three months, it is nominally training, but actually it is to check whether our materialist beliefs have been shaken and to see if we have any tendency to betray or break away from the Crystal Tower civilization. It is completely thought monitoring!"

"Master Karl, you are too narrow-minded. This is a necessary means." Ye Wangnan, the dean of the School of Natural Ecology, chuckled: "Those night butterfly guys are spreading their idealistic superstition everywhere. They must be completely defeated and their shrines must be destroyed." It will be swept into the dustbin of history, and for this we have to make a little sacrifice, but it is nothing.”

"You don't really believe this rhetoric, do you? This is just political correctness." Master Karl said and looked at Nastisa Dantaiin: "Hey, Dean Dantaiin, what do you think? "

"Me? It doesn't really matter how you look at it." Nastisa shook her head: "The Supreme Council has their own plans. It is better to believe in their comments than to believe in a piece of steak. But now, they are indeed trying to maintain our political unity. And work hard.”
