Cards are born to be king

This star academy competition is of special significance to Kailan Star Academy. In the previous two years of star academy competitions, Kailan Star Academy ranked at the bottom with extremely low points.If they lose again in this competition, Kailan Star Academy will fall out of the ranks of the Twelfth Academy. In the future, the Star Academy will not only lose its reputation, but also lose the opportunity to train in the special secret realm of the Star School Alliance.

Therefore, this competition can be said to be a last-ditch battle for Kailan Star Academy, and the entire Star Academy attaches great importance to this competition from top to bottom.Although the Void Castle incident had delayed the progress of the group arena, Kailan Star Academy still made meticulous preparations for this Star Academy competition.The three Carmenroes who participated in the competition have been receiving special training, and even Jiang Yong and the others who accompanied them were watched and urged to master various knowledge and combat skills in case of emergency.

There are 15 people in the team sent by Kailan Star Academy to Olanna this year. The ones who really want to participate in the competition are Hades from the Lika Department of the Star Card Academy, Carmenro from the Basic Alchemy Department of the Alchemy Academy, and the Traditional Department of the Pharmacy Academy. Haze, who belonged to the alternatives, included Elsa from the Elemental Card Department of the Star Card Academy, Aldridge from the Special Card Department, and Jiang Yong from the School of Pharmacy.

In fact, there was a third-year student from the Alchemy Academy who was lucky enough to enter the top seven, but he couldn't bear the psychological pressure and finally quit the team voluntarily.The extra quota was given to Camus, the Mechanics Department of the Alchemy Academy, which was eliminated before.Except for these seven people, the remaining eight people are all professors or mentors accompanying the team, and the leader of the team is Abel, the dean of the Star Card Institute.

"The star academy competition five years ago was held at the Duo Laifengte Star Academy. In addition to the usual competitions, the school added a team competition in an ingenious way. Everyone who participated in the competition was sent to the dangerous Heimeng Grand Canyon. Going to find a lava fire dragon egg, that competition was extremely tragic, many participating students died within two days, and at this time the substitute students will be on top."

Haze seemed to mention this to Jiang Yong inadvertently during a chat. When talking about the tragedy of the game, not only did he not show any expression of fear on his face, on the contrary, there were a few flashes of excitement in his eyes.

"You are actually substitute students. Although this competition is hosted by Olanna, the venue of the competition has not been announced yet. I don't know what it will be like. Maybe you will have a chance to play."

"Senior Ha was joking, I'm a first-year student, so even if I'm a substitute, it won't be my turn."

Jiang Yong changed the subject with a smirk, and took a glass of juice from the table.The scenery outside the window quickly receded, almost becoming a ghost image.However, at such a speed, the desktop does not shake at all, and it is extremely stable, as if it is on flat ground.This time, the Lu Xinglong chariot of the Kailan Star Academy was dispatched again, and the three Lu Xinglongs with golden patterns of dragons and lilies on their sides carried a carriage decorated with the emblem of the Kailan Star Academy on their backs, carrying everyone towards Olanna. go.

Principal Kailan is a hedonist, so the construction site of Star Academy Lu Xinglong car is very spacious and bright. In addition to five separate rooms in the car, there is a small living room in the middle decorated with expensive hanging ornaments and picture frames, and a simple medicine room. A bathroom engraved with alchemy magic lines.The first land dragon car carried the three Carmenroes participating in the competition and two professors accompanying the team, and the two dragons behind each had two substitute students, a professor and two accompanying instructors.

Jiang Yong was assigned to the second Lu Xinglong vehicle, and with him was Camus, a sixth-year student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Senior Camus looked thin and weak, with a scan that almost covered half of his face. mirror.Except for saying hello to Jiang Yong when he got in the car, he has been staying in his room for the past few days and hardly ever came out, he is quite an otaku.

Jiang Yong really likes the living room full of soft golden velvet cushions, not to mention the delicious snacks and hot tea that come with Lu Xinglong's car.The living room is right in the center of the dragon carriage, and there are several bright windows beside it, allowing you to see the outside scene.The Lu Xinglong car basically runs on the vast land day and night, and rarely stops to rest.

However, what puzzled Jiang Yong was that Haze from the sixth grade would always come to chat with him whenever he stopped for a rest, and he cleverly blocked him after several attempts, which made Jiang Yong feel a little nervous. Very puzzled.He simply didn't point it out, and just chatted with him as if he hadn't found anything.After the dragon car was about to set off to send Haze away, Jiang Yong leaned against the window and wondered what this guy's purpose was.

"beep!"

Hearing a soft and low cry, the little white fluffy owl poked its head out of Jiang Yong's pocket, with a few tufts of messy hair on its head.It yawned, rubbed its fur on Jiang Yong's robe, flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder, turned its head and combed its feathers.

His fingers flicked the feathers that the dog eggs dropped on him to the ground. Jiang Yong stared at the little owl for a moment, then fell into deep thought.He remembered that whenever Haze came to visit, Goudan would not show up.Is it a coincidence, or...

"Dudududu!"

His finger was pecked lightly, and Jiang Yong came back to find Goudan standing in front of him arrogantly, with fluffy breast feathers urging Jiuming to beg for food.Seeing this, Jiang Yong raised his eyebrows dumbfoundingly, took out his black fountain pen and star coins, and complained:

"You've entered the growth stage, it's time to learn to go out and find food by yourself. Half-grown bird eats poor me, and I can't afford to support you if I continue to eat like this."

Hearing his words, Goudan shook his feathers in disdain, and disappeared from Jiang Yong's eyes after eating and drinking, not knowing where he flashed to play.Jiang Yong shrugged his shoulders as usual, closed his eyes and rested his mind to integrate the power of space in his mind.In the evening, Lu Xinglong's car stopped again. Today, Lu Xinglong's car stopped twice infrequently. The three giant dragons were released to look for food by themselves, and the professors and tutors called Jiang Yong and others over.

"Tomorrow we will be able to go to the holy city of Verin. According to the usual practice, we will stay there for a day, and then cross the capital to Ushwater City where the Orana Star Academy is located."

Dean Abel's serious eyes fell on everyone, and the two instructors behind him held stacks of white clothes and distributed them to the students.Holding the assigned white robe, Jiang Yong shook it out curiously, and found that it was a spacious and thin garment similar to a nightgown.At this time, Dean Abel's exhortation sounded again:

"In the holy city, there is the largest star temple so far, which enshrines the statue of the star goddess Siseia. Tomorrow, after entering the city, we will go to the temple to receive the blessing of the goddess, and then we will leave for Olanna."

Hearing Dean Abel's words, Jiang Yongjiong was very energetic, and looking at the white robe in his hand, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.Immediately afterwards, the dean led them through the bushes until they came to a large sparkling lake.

"This is the holy lake of Christine, go in and take a dip, and put on that white robe when you come out. The holy lake can cleanse your soul and make your spirits reach the best state. Remember, before you come out after soaking Everyone needs to bring back a fish stone from the lake."

Dean Abel kindly instructed that at this moment, bringing the holy light with you is like a magic stick.Jiang Yong twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the expressions of the people around him, and found that their faces were all distorted in an instant.Carmenro, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and cursed in a low voice:

"Tch, I'm an alchemist, what are you doing bathing in the holy lake of the star disciples?"

After all, under the ardent (warning) eyes of Dean Abel, everyone put on their light white robes and chose a gentle place to walk into the lake.As the only woman among the crowd, Elsa certainly wouldn't wash with them. After she greeted them with a smile, she went to wash alone in the small lake that stretched out next to it.

Jiang Yong wrapped his white robe tightly and walked slowly into the lake.The calm surface of the lake reflected the starlight, and then it was broken by the rippling water ripples and overflowed into the lake full of twinkling stars.The lake water is not freezing cold, but warm.Under Jiang Yong's feet are fine grains of sand, and occasionally he will step on soft aquatic plants.Jiang Yong stopped when he reached the position where the lake was at the same level as his chest. The few of them had already dispersed, and only vague figures could be seen in the darkness.

I heard from Dean Abel that there is a special kind of fish called Guangdie living in the holy lake.They lived in the holy lake all their lives, automatically absorbed the power in the lake, and condensed a butterfly-shaped crystal in their heads, which was the fish stone.

When they die, the bones and muscles of the whole body will dissolve in the lake water, only the fish stones will not dissolve, but will fall to the bottom of the lake.This miraculous crystal attracted many people to study at first, and later found that the energy contained in it can be used for divination, but as long as it leaves the holy lake for two days, the fish stone will automatically disintegrate, no matter what method is used, it cannot be preserved.

I don't know when the practice was formed. When the students of the Star Academy came to soak in the holy lake, they would pick up a fish stone and take it back. The next day, they took it to the temple to find the priest for divination.According to legend, the fish stone was transparent at first, and the fish stone in the brain of the light butterfly fish will add a color every ten years.In the end it will become a beautiful crystal of many colors, and only those who are blessed by the gods can get it.Superstitious people believe that the more complete the color of the fish stones picked up, the better the luck for divination.

However, Jiang Yong was not superstitious. He took a handful of lake water, washed his face copiously, and prepared to soak until the prescribed time and pick up the stones before going back.At this moment, Jiang Yong heard the sound of splashing into the water from far away from the east, which was a little vague from a distance.Almost all star institutes will come to the holy city to receive blessings before going to Orana, and they will also take a dip in the holy lake by the way.It seems that today they happened to collide with an unknown academy.

"Wash the holy lake and bless them all, then in the end, if the luck balances out, it will be gone."

he muttered.This holy lake does have some effect. Jiang Yong felt that his fatigue all the time had disappeared, and he was in good spirits.Zhuang Zhuang, who was sleeping in his mind, was also absorbing the energy of the lake water, which was probably good for him.Goudan didn't know where he went wandering and hasn't come back yet, otherwise he could take it with him for a dip.

Jiang Yong completely soaked himself in the water, planning to stay here for a while, but there was a faint noise from the group of people who had just arrived from the east, and they had already started looking for fish stones everywhere.

All of a sudden, the noise rose up in an instant, bringing out a bit of quarrel.At the same time, a familiar voice came into his ears, Jiang Yong paused, and walked over there suspiciously.The quarrel was getting closer and closer. After pushing aside the long branches and leaves of the Altai tree that grew by the lake, Jiang Yong looked over there, only to find a dozen strangers in light-colored robes gathered together, besieging Someone else.

Although it was too late to see the appearance of the besieged person clearly, the shining bald head among the crowd was particularly conspicuous even in the dark.At first glance, they are people from Kailan Star Academy.At the same time, the voice of the quarrel over there also spread here:

"Don't get in the way, kid. Go take a bath next to such a big lake, and don't stand in our way."

"Everyone has a share in the holy lake. Are you sick and don't let us pass? Get out of here."

"Hey, don't you understand..."

Jiang Yong moved closer, just in time to hear the last two of the small group whispering:

"I just saw colorful flashes of light in the lake behind that person, it must be a high-grade fish stone! And the colorful light is still there!"

"Tsk, it's so dark that I can't see who that kid is blocking the way... Hey, do you think he looks like that alchemy kid from Kai Academy? What's his name? The one that knocked down the ring in the Star Academy competition?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, can't you see your face and bald head at night? Carmenro of Kailan Star Academy is not bald!"

Jiang Yong: ...

And at this moment, a cold and disdainful familiar voice came from over there:

"roll."

Come on, with the bald head and the voice, it was Carmenro at first glance. Jiang Yong had a complicated expression, and at the same time he recognized where it was.The position blocked by Carmenro is a small lake extending to the side from the big lake. It is probably the one that Elsa-senpai is soaking in. No wonder Senior Carmenro blocked there to prevent others from entering.

Originally, it was easy to deal with a dozen miscellaneous fishes based on the strength of senior Carmen Luo, but this time they came in to soak all the space bags in the lake, and all the space rings were handed over to the professor for safekeeping. Possibly take it with you.Seeing more than a dozen people impatiently threatening to approach, Senior Carmen Luo insisted on standing still, Jiang Yong frowned.

Just when he secretly took out the card to help, he suddenly heard the deafening sound of water coming from the originally calm lake, like a waterfall pouring down from the sky!The sudden sound of water caused everyone to look back towards the center of the lake in astonishment, and Jiang Yong also looked in that direction vigilantly.

But when he saw the shocking scene over there, Jiang Yong's pupils shrank slightly, and his breathing stopped for a while.

The author has something to say: If you want to talk about the appearance of this butterfly fish, heck, the fish is as its name suggests, it looks like a CD, it is oval...

Butterflyfish:? ? ?Are fish shameless? !
