If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The spring breeze blows through the catkins, picking up white fluff and falling on the hair.

The girl reached out and took off the catkins from the boy's black hair, and smiled at him again. The sunlight leaking through the gaps between the willow trees tanned her eyelashes to the same white color as her skin. Her whole body was so transparent that it felt unreal. , as if it would fly away with the next gust of wind and the catkins.

"." Lin Nian frowned and looked at "Lin Nian" who was staring at his sister and looking a little dazed after the catkins were removed from his head. He always felt a little strange.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong with this scene. But in this situation, even if he wanted to say something, the two people around him couldn't answer him. At least today's warm and heartwarming "sister-sister relationship" scene was with him. It doesn't matter anymore.

"Lin Nian" and Lin Xian are walking together now. They are walking by the wide artificial lake with weeping willow trees. The willow tree touches the other person's head gently on the mirror-like lake surface, just like the two people in the lake. Like a shadow, it is impossible to tell the truth from the truth at a glance.

On the other side of the artificial lake they were walking on, there was an iron forest, a "sea" and an "Iron Forest". Not far in front of the two of them was the Nifu, one of the three major buildings in Kassel, together with the Hall of Valor. Erheim Palace.

In Nordic mythology, Niflheim is also called the "Land of Fog". It is a barren land full of thick fog and cold all year round. In winter, the artificial lake always freezes. Whenever there is fog, the majestic The palace will be shrouded in white mist again, and the willow trees and iron trees will melt into the mist like silent guards, giving you an eternal epic feeling.

Niflheim is always associated with "hell" in mythology. In Kassel Academy, it has been transformed into a palace-style memorial hall. Inside, you can see many trophies captured in battles by previous dragon-slaying predecessors. From the 'empty eggs' after the failed sacrifice of the second generation to the well-preserved fangs of the third generation, every item displayed inside has a bloody history.

Almost every student at Kassel College is required to visit this memorial hall and is also required to submit a handwritten review of no less than 1,000 words. Therefore, compared to the historical memorial hall of blood and tears, the artificial lake is different from the one that bends over and touches the water. The spring scenery by Willow Lake is more attractive.

Different from the solemnity in the thick winter fog, Niflheim under the spring sun is full of life. No one will connect it with words like dragons, war, and solemnity. Under the bright spring light, it passes by the water. The white dove flapped its wings and flew over the heavy fate of blood, over the repressed and growing emotions, upward and upward, until it flew into the eternal life of youth.

Walking beside Lin Xian and "Lin Nian", Lin Nian turned his head and looked at the artificial lake that was rippled by the wind. The surface of the lake reflected the stone bridge across it like a mirror. It was said that many couples in the college were very fond of each other. I would choose to come to this place for a date. Walking on that long stone bridge, it feels like there is no connection between the sky and the earth, and the beautiful illusion that there are only two people left in the world.

Before, he had only seen posts on the Night Watch forum where seniors tricked dogs into killing them. Many juniors were looking forward to having a relationship with the president of the student council, the president of the Lionheart Club, and the 'S'-level freshmen. The memory of walking across the stone bridge, I didn't expect that I would really have the opportunity to visit this dating holy place today. It would be nice if it wasn't like this.

"Have you never been here?" Lin Xian looked at "Lin Nian" with a smile while holding the document.

"It's really nice here." "Lin Nian" said without hesitation, looking at the long stone bridge connecting the lake with a round arch, "It's quite warm. I like warm places."

"So you should go out and walk more often. Don't stay bored in the dormitory all the time. You will get into trouble." Lin Xian straightened the hair that was blown by the wind to his lips.

"I know, I know." Lin Nian said casually with his hands in his pockets and turned to look at the stone bridge on the lake.

Huh?

Lin Nian, who was watching the ghost on the side, raised his eyebrows unconsciously. The blond girl had always acted fearless in front of Mandy, Caesar and even Angers. How could this guy be so honest in front of his own sister? ?

He heard that the blond girl could peek into his memories. Could it be that he was frightened after seeing his elder sister teaching him a lesson?

"You can skip classes in college, but you have to do it in a planned way, know which classes are useful and which classes are not, manage your time reasonably, and get to know more friends. I haven't seen you since I've been in school for so long, except for Mandy who keeps playing with you. There are other new friends around you." Lin Xian reached out and pinched "Lin Nian's" chin and gently turned his head back.

"I'm underage and have nothing in common with those adults. Maybe my friends are actually among the next freshmen?" "Lin Nian" said casually.

"Indeed, you are quite popular among your peers. Aren't there girls around you every day in Shilan Middle School?"

"That's different, and aren't there a lot of girls around me here too?"

"Is there anything you like? Tell me and sister will check it for you?"

"Oh? Does Senior Sister Mandy count as one?"

".Pfft hahaha"

As if they said something stupid, the two of them laughed out loud.

The genuine Lin Nian on the side was a little stunned. Although he didn't know what was going on, this guy was too normal, right? The blonde girl's imitation of his tone is now more natural than his own. He originally thought that this walk would be the scene of a car accident, but he didn't expect that it would go so smoothly now.

"Didn't I hear that you have been debating whether to join the Student Union or the Lionheart Club? Why, haven't you made up your mind yet?" Lin Xian tilted his head and teased, "If you continue like this, you will become Buridan's donkey."

"There is no donkey in the Chinese zodiac, and I am not a donkey. Of course I won't starve to death, and it doesn't make any difference to me whether I join a club or not." "Lin Nian" couldn't help but hugged him again. The back of the head.

Buridan's Donkey is a philosophical argument put forward by Jean Buridan, which states that if a hungry donkey is placed in the middle of two identical bundles of hay, the donkey will be stuck in place and starve to death because it cannot make a decision. Here, Lin Xian used this philosophical gag to compare Lin Nian's situation, which was stuck between the Lion Heart Club and the Student Union.

"Yeah, it's different now that you're in college. You can dress up and dress yourself. You can even pick up on your sister's jokes." Lin Xian seemed to be a little surprised and smiled, hugging "Lin Nian" and moving around. He stroked his hair, took out a biscuit from his pocket, opened the wrapping paper, and handed it to "Lin Nian"'s mouth: "Come and open your mouth, my lovely brother won't let you starve to death."

"But you should know that Aristotle's idea was earlier, right? It just replaced the donkey and grass with hungry people, food and water." The expression on "Lin Nian"'s face was a little strange, but he still bit After eating this biscuit, Lin Nian's expression on the side became even weirder and his eyes looking at his body became more and more uncomfortable.

"Of course I know, but this metaphor is not as interesting as a donkey, and I don't want to give up the opportunity to reward you with a cookie." Lin Xian smiled and smoothed the hair of "Lin Nian" that he had messed up.

Wait, do you know these trivia?

The genuine Lin Nian, who had been watching the loving siblings, suddenly thought of this. If the blond girl's memory was shared with him, then it would be impossible for the blond girl to know knowledge that even he himself did not know. But now it seems that the blond girl has revealed knowledge that she has never learned many times.

Lin Nian was thinking as he followed the two people around him walking by the lake. After starting a conversation with a donkey and a biscuit, the two people around him gradually began to chat normally, talking about the days and the days, and the food in the canteen. , interesting things in the dormitory, and embarrassing things I heard.

They had a lively chat. As long as the topic was raised by Lin Xian, the blond girl would definitely pick up the topic. This kept a smile on Lin Xian's face. Lin Nian felt that he had never seen Lin Xian so happy. This was not the case. He always had the illusion that the blond girl was more like Lin Xian's younger brother than him and could please her more.

But how could this happen? The identity of the blond girl is unknown until now. She said she was Lin Nian's personality, but everyone could guess that this was a cover-up lie, but if it wasn't her, what could it be?

Lin Nian was silent and dismissed the absurd thoughts that were rising in his heart. The blond girl might have just secretly dug through her own memories and learned about Lin Xian's preferences and habits from a third party's perspective. That's why she was able to respond so fluently and even get along well now. .

But why would she focus on these things? You don’t want to completely ban yourself one day, do you?

Lin Nian twitched the corner of his mouth, but the joke didn't seem as funny as he thought, so he didn't laugh out loud. He turned to look at "himself" beside him, and a seed was finally planted in his heart.

"Are we doing okay these days?" After chatting, they walked a little further and saw the end of the road. The blond girl was quiet for a while and suddenly asked such a question without thinking.

Lin Nian, who heard this question, turned to look at her silently, then looked at Lin Xian, wondering why the blond girl would ask such a strange question.

When asked, Lin Xian just paused and shook his head with his usual smile: "Of course it's okay. Although the work is a bit troublesome, at least I can apply what I learned. Now you can study, go to school, have a place to live, and even... Make new friends. Now I don’t have to worry about you doing something outside that I can’t solve like before. The most important thing is that everything seems to be under control, and no accidents will happen, just like what was planned before That way."

"It's so good." The blonde girl got the answer, but it was hard to guess from her expression whether she liked the answer. She just stared blankly at the spring-flowered college, and took it back for a long time. He nodded lightly with all expressions on his face: "That's good."

"Yeah, that's good." Lin Xian also nodded. She turned her head and her eyes fell on Lin Nian, who could not be seen by the lake and would only appear in the sight of the blond girl. Lin Nian was startled for a moment and then took a step back. , found that Lin Xian was not looking at himself, but at the lakeside and stone bridge.

"Teacher Masashi Toyama has something to do with me. I'm leaving now. If you have a chance next time, you can take a walk and chat with me. Otherwise, it would be quite strange that we haven't seen each other much in school. It seems like we are deliberately avoiding each other." Lin Xian smiled and touched Lin Nian with his shoulder.

"Well"

Lin Nian's body swayed slightly after being pushed by his shoulder. He immediately discovered that the blond girl no longer took over his body. He had regained control of his body at some point.

As if he suddenly felt something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the place where he was standing by the lakeside. Sure enough, he saw the blond girl in white standing there, making a face at him, and jumped back into the artificial lake. Here, she should not have quality, but she really caused a ripple that swayed far towards the arch bridge in the middle of the lake.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xian asked, looking at Lin Nian who suddenly relaxed.

"Nothing." Lin Nian said, looking at the willow leaf swirling on the lake.

The sun dimmed, they passed the willow tree, and then lit up again, and finally the two of them were at the end of the road.

ps①: The daily routine is over and it’s time to pick up the seniors. Lin Nian has officially entered his first school year.

ps②: I still owe three updates. Since I don’t owe much anymore, just write more slowly and write with quality and quantity.

ps③: This chapter counts three thousand and four as one chapter, so don’t laugh at me because four thousand and four counts as two chapters before (crying)
