Chapter 175 Red Lotus in the Water

The exams at Ibis Academy are coming up.

In the tall building, which is shaped like a giant ring, half embedded in the mountain and half exposed outside the mountain, students are taking a tense written test. Outside the transparent glass window, you can have a bird's eye view of most of the canyon and the academy, but the students are not interested in looking at the scenery at this moment.

Most people in the classroom are concentrating on answering questions. You can hear a slight rustling sound. The smooth and clean terrazzo floor is like a mirror, and you can hear a pin drop.

Time passed by minute by minute. After an hour and a half, the bell for the end rang. At this time, the students put down their pens and waited for the collection and sealing of the self-discipline unit.

"Huh, the exam is finally over." After walking out of the classroom, Meier breathed a sigh of relief, then stamped her feet, looked around, and finally found the figure of the gray-haired girl in the crowd.

She wanted to raise her hand and call Heshia, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she chose to walk to her side quickly.

"How did Heshia do in the exam?"

"Not bad, how about Mel?"

"Well, it's probably a bit difficult to get an A-level evaluation.

" Her grades have always been good, but not the best. "That's pretty good."

The girl smiled, and then the two walked side by side in the circular staircase. There is no elevator in this building, only the inner circle of the circular staircase. The overall style is very grand. The circular staircase can accommodate 30 people walking side by side. When there are few people, you can hear the echo of your footsteps in the corridor.

Although it looks tall and magnificent from the outside, it has only seven floors in total. Each floor is supported by huge pillars, just like a building used by giants. Walking in it gives people a sense of sacredness and vastness. There are also various murals on the inner wall of the dome, depicting many historical scenes from the first era to the fourth era, bringing a deep and distant atmosphere.

It is said that this "Seven-Storey Tower" was built in the early days of the Emerald Skirt. At that time, the Federation was established for only more than 200 years. Some elves even experienced the years before the founding of the country. The thoughts of the entire Federation were not yet completely unified. The ancient factions originally scattered on various planets still retained many memories of the past era . Among them, large-scale buildings

were popular for the purpose of recording history and recreating the great miracles of God. Because of the darkness and destruction of the Fifth Era, people who lived through that era had a strong crisis of death, so they were eager to leave something behind when they were alive. This might be doctrines, books, works, or perhaps the forgotten huge scrolls, buildings, etc.

When people face huge buildings, sculptures, or murals, they are often shocked by the grandeur of the works and the scenes that fill the field of vision without any residual light, which brings a stronger impact, so they will also have a feeling of dying without regrets in a very short moment.

Thanks to this impulse and atmosphere, many famous giant buildings and works were born in that era, and this "Seven-Storey Tower" was just a grain of sand in that era.

However, this kind of atmosphere and spirit has long gone, so people can only peek into the spiritual outlook of people in that era in these ancient buildings.

"The exam is over, can Heshia come with me to watch the 'Frozen Green Festival'?" Mel asked.

The "Frozen Green Festival" is a celebration held simultaneously during the Northern Ten Schools League. In fact, there was no such celebration at the beginning, but after a few sessions, all parties, whether teachers or students, felt that it was too monotonous to gather students from all the northern schools together just to watch the game, so there was a simultaneous 'Frozen Green Festival', that is, each school will set up its own stalls and positions at the venue, which will provide their own unique services, some sell goods, and there are also activities for socializing and playing together, etc., which is the most lively season for all the northern schools.

"Okay, but a friend invited me to go together before..." Heshia felt a little embarrassed, because Yilin had also told her about this before, and the two of them agreed to go to the 'Frozen Green Festival' together.

Before coming to school, the two said they would meet and get together often, but because of various things, they didn't meet much this semester, so Yilin said she would take advantage of this "Frozen Youth Festival" to have a good time with Heshia.

"Ah, who is it? Does Heshia have other good friends?" Meier was a little jealous. She often followed behind Heshia, but she was still taken by others.

"She is my childhood classmate. She also came to North District 1 to study." The girl explained.

"So she was an elementary school classmate. No wonder, I often look for childhood classmates to play with. Many of them are in junior high school together." Meier was relieved immediately. As long as it's not a boy, it's fine. Heshia was chased away by a boy. It's too scary.

"Then let's go together. I'll introduce you." Although she said so, Heshia always felt a little strange in her heart.

It's obviously a normal friendship, but there is an inexplicable guilt and guilt. Forget it, let's not think about this kind of thing for the time being.

Three days later, North District 1, Huilong Grotto.

Large caves are interspersed among the tall mountains and green forests, like traces left by a giant dragon swimming in the mountains. These large caves are often nearly 100 meters wide, and airplanes can fly through them. There are also tram tracks on one side of the wall, and vehicles pass through and stop from time to time, and students with different clothes walk out.

"This is the scene of the 'Frozen Green Festival'. The stalls and tents set up below are arranged by the clubs under each academy."

A third-year senior student with a rope sign led the way in front, and then introduced the situation of the venue to Heshia and other first-year freshmen.

"Every year, the 'Frozen Green Festival' is held in three locations in rotation. This is one of them, and it is also the venue of the Huilong Temple Academy."

"The predecessor of the Huilong Temple Academy is the ancient temple in the mountain cave. The temple is a faction specializing in the original sequence. There was a 'Panquan Master' who was very famous in the local area. Later, in order to adapt to the changes of the times, the temple also built a school to recruit students to inherit the faction's learning. However, their annual enrollment is not large, only 100 people. This place is more of a part of the temple."

"It covers a large area and has sufficient space, so this place was selected as one of the venues for the league. Huilong Temple also agrees with this because the league can also bring popularity and tourism development here." The senior sister led the students out of the station and walked towards the stands.

"We're here. From here, we can overlook some of the venues." As she said, she pointed to the neat and beautiful 'venues' below.

To call them stall tents is too crude a description. These 'venues' are neatly square and supported by high-strength metal frames inside, which can accommodate thousands of people. The tough fabric outside is stretched taut, showing various shapes and patterns. Students from various academies are constantly coming in and out, making it very lively.

"The 'venue' of our Iridium Academy is in the east grotto. I think everyone is familiar with the projects and things inside, so I suggest that you go to other academies' 'venues' for fun." The senior with wine-red hair around her shoulders suggested with a smile, and then told everyone the gathering time, and then let the freshmen go around on their own.

"Wow, it looks so impressive." After the dismissal, some students couldn't wait to lie on the fence beside the stands and look down.

"This is my first time to come to the 'Frozen Youth Festival'. I only heard about it from seniors occasionally before."

"You didn't go to school in North District 1 before, that's true. In fact, many students in North District 1, even if they are not students from one of the ten schools, will come to the 'Frozen Youth Festival' to play. The organizers also encourage this. There are forty or fifty venues of various sizes here, all built by different schools, although most of them cannot participate in the Ten Schools League." Several students were discussing the venue information.

"Heshia, where is your friend? Do you want us to meet up first?" Mel was wearing a well-fitting dark red winter skirt today, with a gray cloth scarf on her shoulders, and holding her favorite gray moon cat in her hands. Compared to when school started, this gray moon cat has grown a lot. Its overall fur color is gray, and only its four legs and abdomen have white fur.

"I'll ask where it is." Heshia nodded, then took out her personal terminal to contact. In the shadow at her feet, a big spider was curiously watching. It didn't go out much, but if Heshia went to a fun place, it would always follow.

"Hiss." The big spider saw a emerald crane flying on the dome of the cave, and hid behind Heshia in fear.

Natural Sequence 5: Emerald crane, a supernatural creature living in forests and mountains, likes to peck poisonous insects, snakes and frogs. Its beak and feathers are as sharp as swords, and it is extremely resistant to poison. Its down is ground into powder and is a good material for anti-poison medicine.

"You will be scared one day too." The girl bent down, touched the big spider, and then picked it up.

Seeing the blue-black big spider suddenly become invisible, Mel was so scared that his face turned pale and he jumped away in a hurry. He almost lost the gray moon cat in his hand. When Heshia calmed the big spider, she was relieved. It seems that this big spider is not wild but raised by the girl.

"Huh, how can Heshia have such a scary partner? I didn't know it before." She stroked her chest, but still didn't dare to get close.

"I adopted this spider by accident. I wasn't its original owner, but I met it when I was working in that store. It has been following me and I've become familiar with it." The girl placed the spider on the stone pillar of the guardrail, and gently stroked its furry back. Then she knocked on the spider's head out of habit.

Seeing that the spider was very obedient, Mel was relieved. He slowly approached and squatted in front of it to take a closer look.

"Is it a wolf spider of the Withering Sequence 4? It's so obedient~"

"I have a very powerful partner at home, but my grandma won't let me bring it out. She said I'm still young and too weak. If I can't control it after I bring it out, it will be bad if something happens." Mel said with some regret, and rubbed his cheek with the Gray Moon Cat in his hand.

"I still like cats the most. Although it's not powerful now, it will grow with me." Mel raised the Gray Moon Cat in his hand high.

"Meow~"

Under the high dome lights, the little gray moon cat became tall in the camera, blocking the light above its head, as if it was surrounded by holy light, and then a slight click sounded, engraving the moment.

"It's done, Mel." Heshia waved her hand with the personal terminal in her hand.

"Did you take a photo just now? Hey." Mel was a little surprised, but very happy, and asked Heshia to see the photo.

After that, the two of them, one holding the cat and the other following the invisible big spider at his feet, toured the venue.

First, they walked down the stands and went down to the ground in the cave, and then passed by the lively "venues".

"This is the venue of Lianhong Porcelain Academy. Their academy is famous for its expertise in porcelain~" Mel grew up in the North District 1, and she was familiar with these academies.

"Let's go in and take a look first, Yilin will be here soon." Heshia nodded, and the two walked into the tall venue.

The first thing that comes into view is the high-hanging red fish wind chime. These red carp-like porcelain pieces are strung together like lanterns, staggered in height in the venue, and occasionally collide with each other, making crisp and pleasant sounds.

Below is a large clear pool, in which various exquisite porcelains are placed at different heights, and a lotus leaf path winds through the pool. The colored glazes on these porcelains are some pure and clear, some are painted with exquisite patterns, and some depict various scenes and patterns, including ancient court scenes, billowing smoke from the industrial age, starry sky constellations, various animated characters, similar to impression oil paintings, translucent technology style, and like white jade smoke cages, which are particularly beautiful. Some of the

porcelains are placed under the water, and clear water keeps gushing out of the bottle mouths, some form fountains, and some are placed in the hands of statues, with the bottle mouths tilted, and clear water keeps flowing in them.

In the center of the pool, on a lotus platform made of red-patterned white porcelain, a beautiful girl dressed as a witch was dancing. Her white, clean clothes were embroidered with red sparrows and verdant jade branches, which swayed gently as she danced, attracting the attention of everyone in the venue.

When the snow-white sleeves slowly dropped, the pale pink eyes behind the sleeves were revealed, and then the other hand slowly emerged from behind the sleeves. In the palm of her hand, she was holding a small fire lotus porcelain bottle. The bottom of the bottle was bright in color, and the mouth of the bottle was translucent, like red jade.

The pair of white jade hands gently grasped the porcelain bottle, and then as the body gently rotated, the water surface around her also appeared with the same rotating ripples. These ripples slowly rose and formed six swirling water streams.

As the gorgeous dance progressed, the witch girl's figure was fixed, and the porcelain bottle in her hand was held high, and then the six water streams gathered in it continuously and were absorbed by the small porcelain bottle.

In this way, after a few seconds, the girl's dance steps rotated again, and the water flow also rotated, surrounding her body, and water drops fell, sparkling under the light, like a beautiful picture handed down from generation to generation.

Finally, the girl's performance ended, she stood gracefully on the lotus platform, with one hand holding the bottle and the other hand stretched out, her red bird jade branch witch costume was still clean and bright, without any water drops.
