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

"Why is Hilltop College halfway up the mountain?"

"I don't know, but I think this problem is the same as why there are no pearls in the Oriental Pearl Tower."

Xue Fulai drove in from the main entrance of Kassel College. When the tires slowly ran over the maple leaves blown down by the autumn wind along the road, the roots and veins of the leaves were crushed, which was the song of early autumn.

In the garden behind the blue-black carved iron railings at the gate, the rows of maple trees finally began to glow with gold. The leaves that were the color of sunlight were slightly dyed red, but they were extremely red at this time of the year. So thorough, it reminds me of the rouge on a girl's face, light and just right.

Listening to the soft sound of the car crushing fruits and leaves, Lin Nian also noticed the unexpected quietness on campus. Maybe everyone had gone to a party and went crazy in the wine pool banquet in the clubhouse. Chu Zihang, who was in the back seat, was also looking up at the old castle hidden in the sycamore forest through the window. There were a few leaves stuck in the gaps between the green and black bricks on the top of the Gothic spire, and they fell down and fluttered into the ripples. In the artificial lake of Lanlan, there are no shadows floating around.

This was his first time coming to Kassel College. The originally mysterious and unknown veil was finally blown away by the autumn wind, revealing his true face underneath.

As autumn approaches, this dark fortress that should have been as solemn as the Secret Party itself is now surrounded by maple leaves and sycamores, reminding people of a noble lady with gold powder on her shoulders. Maple and sycamore are the threads of her dress. When the fallen leaves rolled up by the blowing autumn wind reveal the ancient buildings below, we can get a glimpse of her original solemnity under the gorgeous etiquette.

Xue Fulai drove to an open-air parking lot near the school gate and stopped. Lin Nian and Chu Zihang got out of the car. When they opened the trunk, Lin Nian scanned around and saw no one on the road. There were usually students lying on the green lawns reading books, but the crimson cobblestone road was deserted today. On the top of the church in the distance, rows of white pigeons stood pecking their feathers and looking left and right.

"Are you really going to have a party?" Lin Nian took out his suitcase and looked at Lin Xian who turned off the car and got out of the car. "Is the car parked here? It's far from the girls' dormitory, right? Senior sisters are lazier than pigs. It’s not like you don’t know that next time you need to use the car, she’ll be very depressed if you find she has to travel so far, right?”

"Now you start to feel sorry for your senior sister? Why don't you feel sorry for your sister and me?"

"Lazy people are blessed." Lin Nian sighed and raised his hand to close the trunk. Chu Zihang on the side also looked up at the soldier who looked like he was waiting for the next step of instructions - so to speak, it didn't really matter. That's right, after knowing the purpose of Kassel College, Chu Zihang always felt that this college was a mysterious organization similar to the KGB, and even the beautiful autumn scenery could not eradicate his prejudice.

Probably only after he really meets those students who are not upright (such as Fingel and Mandy) can he completely change his view of Kassel Academy.

"Where are you going next? All the teachers and students in the school have a day off today. Maybe there is no one at the admissions office? The freshmen have already enrolled in advance and have all gone to our psychology department for a psychological consultation. According to the new student list Come on, you two are considered to be the last batch." Lin Xian took Lin Nian's arm and walked towards the cobblestone path covered with maple leaves. Chu Zihang, who was beside him, also followed behind with his suitcase.

"Then what did we miss? The lengthy freshman assembly and opening ceremony?" Lin Nian said indifferently.

"The opening ceremony was quite good. The president of the Lion Heart Club graduated. The principal invited him to be the speaker at the opening ceremony to encourage and impart experience to the subsequent little dragon-slaying warriors. There were many emotional female students and even male students. We were all in tears. The atmosphere was so good that many teachers from our psychology department were on standby in case someone collapsed and fainted." Lin Xian thought for a while and said, "The freshman assembly is not interesting, but I heard that the student union and the Lion Heart Club are both I sent a representative there once, it seems to be preparing for the club to attract new blood, right?"

"Then it's such a pity for them." Lin Nian smiled and looked back at Chu Zihang, who was looking sideways at the white doves on the church. "The real protagonist is always the last one to appear."

"You are also the protagonist." Lin Xian said with a smile, "The Student Union and the Lion Heart Club searched for you among the freshmen for a while, but they didn't find you. In the end, they came to the Psychology Department to look for me."

"Just ignore them." Lin Nian sighed, "It's like a pyramid scheme."

"Will you go back to your dormitory later or go to the Admissions Office and register yourself on the form? After you two register, all the freshmen will be here and they will be waiting for the 3E exam the day after tomorrow." Lin Xian asked.

Chu Zihang raised his head slightly. During the month in the coastal city, Lin Nian also told him more or less about Kassel College. Even though the 3E exam was one of them, Lin Nian didn't reveal much ( The head of the Disciplinary Committee (students who are taboo against cheating for personal gain) only said that there would be an entrance exam and that it was not difficult and did not require any special preparation. Just go with the flow.

"Don't worry too much. The 3E exam is a blood test. There is no need to review and memorize questions. You can think of it as a 'talent test.'" Lin Nian said.

"You mean I have no talent." Lin Xian turned his head and looked at Lin Nian.

"Talent for being a monster." Lin Nian immediately changed his words, "You are a normal person, not like us, who are little monsters with horns and tails."

"Then you are a big monster?" Lin Xian was also laughed at. He stretched out his hand to brush off the autumn leaves that stuck to his shoulders. "It's better to worry about where to live first. You have a place to live, but your friends may not. You live alone in the college. Although the single room is very comfortable, it also lacks the social links necessary for university."

"The dormitory allocation is probably random by Norma, but because we entered school late, many dormitories are probably full. I will apply to Norma to see if I can arrange my senior brother's dormitory with me." Lin Nian turned his head and looked at Chu Zihang beside him to explain.

"It won't be crowded?" Chu Zihang asked, "I can just follow the arrangement of the college."

"No." Lin Nian shook his head, "Actually, I was in a similar situation in the first half of my year, so I was arranged by Norma to live with a senior senior brother. We were the only two in the whole dormitory. That senior brother was quite nice. , he just likes to snore while sleeping, if you mind, then I will kick his bed board if he snores, and he will stay on my upper bunk."

"Actually, I don't care about this." Chu Zihang said.

"That's good. Let's go to the admissions office to report first, and then go to the dormitory building to put our luggage. Oh, by the way, have you bought a new mobile phone card?"

At the current situation, Chu Zihang has basically fully enrolled in school, and Lin Nian, an old man who has been taking classes for half a year, has also begun to help him make arrangements.

"I opened Global Communications." Chu Zihang said.

"It's so rich. In fact, just apply for a new card. You can submit the application directly to Norma. Norma is the artificial intelligence secretary of our college. She will back up your personal information in the information database. Any notifications from the college will be I will contact you directly through mobile phone text messages, which is most likely very frequent. If you use Global Messenger, you will have to spend money to receive text messages, right? It is not cost-effective."

"You can also bind your mobile phone number to the Night Watch Forum, and Norma can also contact us through private messages in the background of the Night Watch Forum. That's what I did, and I saved a lot of text message charges every month." Lin Xian added.

"As well as paying tuition, just go to Norma and fill out the form directly. Electricity, internet, food and accommodation are included in the tuition and will not be calculated separately. Kassel College is more conscientious in this regard. If you can live with me, there will be many things It doesn’t matter. If Norma assigns you to another dormitory, if you have any questions, just go to the freshman assistance center and ask. The volunteer seniors there will give you extra credits, so don’t be embarrassed."

"Don't forget to tell him about the language taboos."

"Yes. If there are black people in the dormitory, don't say 'that' easily, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding."

Chu Zihang looked at the two siblings who were detailing everything and couldn't say anything to refute. He could only nod silently and remember these thoughtful tips. Although he and Lin Nian were admitted in the same class, they looked more mature now. It was like the senior was instructing the new students, and he could only nod, but he wouldn't care.

"Oh, by the way, you probably have to come with me to the office of the director of the execution department." After a lot of miscellaneous remarks, Lin Nian remembered that when he was on a mission in China, Minister Schneider seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to As soon as he returned to the academy, he reported to the executive department.

Although the mission details were uploaded through PAD in China, it was best to meet him in person. After all, he also had some questions to ask the other party. It just so happened that these questions also involved Chu Zihang beside him. If his guess was correct, the other party was the person named by Minister Schneider.

Just when I was about to elaborate, a shrill air-raid siren suddenly sounded. The shrill howl echoed throughout the college. The white doves in the church suddenly fluttered their wings and flew high. Many small animals sounded in the sycamore forest and maple trees. Suddenly, Lin Nian and Lin Xian suddenly stopped talking, and their expressions became serious and frightening.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang subconsciously became alert when he heard the air defense siren. The muscles under his school uniform were as hard as iron wood. He sank slightly and took half a step back, not to escape, but to be stimulated. It is necessary to demonstrate against unknown crises that may come from nowhere.

A penetrating alarm sounded across the sky. In Lin Nian's sight, a white light suddenly lit up on the top of the church in the distance. Chu Zihang also noticed the dazzling light, and the two of them looked up almost at the same time.

But in the next second, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded less than half a meter in front of Lin Xian. It seemed like a coquettish flower was blooming, spreading like smoke and falling, as if it was falling. A red rain fell.

The box at Lin Nian's feet was opened at some point.

The half-open box was filled with heavy arms and firearms, and the two most important long objects crossing in the middle were missing one and were now being held in Lin Nian's hands.

Ju Yiwen Zezong lay diagonally in front of Lin Xian. Lin Nian's left hand, which was held by Lin Xian, did not move. His right hand grasped the unsheathed ancient alchemy sword and forcefully used it in an instant. The sheath hit the sniper bullet.

Snipe from a distance.

After Chu Zihang realized what had happened, he immediately lowered himself and made preparations to lie down, but then he discovered that

"Frigga bullet?"

Lin Nian frowned as he looked at the broken red mist. He immediately recognized that it was a tranquilizer bomb from the equipment department, but since it was a sneak attack, why use tranquilizer bombs? Instead of using solid bullets that fire faster? But the biggest question is why am I being attacked inexplicably while walking in the academy?

Before he had time to think about this problem, Lin Nian suddenly felt the hand holding him sink, and realized that he had made a mistake.

Snipers usually choose a high position upwind to save the kinetic energy of bullets with a high base, which also leads to the inevitability of subsequent "accidents".

Beside him, Lin Xian didn't seem to realize what was happening. The red mist had drifted in front of her with the direction of the wind, causing her to sneeze and take a few breaths. In less than a few seconds, she staggered on her feet and was knocked unconscious by the powerful anesthetic before she could say anything.

"."

Chu Zihang suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Nian who was standing aside. Although he had never been good at reading the air and could not understand people's micro-expressions and hidden meanings, now he could clearly read the people around him. Lin Nian had a very strong feeling of displeasure on his face.

Someone might be in trouble.
