Chapter 50: The City in the Mountains

The speeding train roared across the gray Gobi Desert. The wind blew for thousands of miles, the sun was blazing in the sky, and the endless wilderness brought endless heroic spirit. In the carriage with the windows open, the white curtains fluttered, and the whistling wind beat the heart, making it sing for it today.

This is a special train to the North District 1. The carriages are filled with graduating students who are about to take the re-examination of many famous schools in the North District 1 to determine their future lives.

Today, Heshia was also sitting in it. The air flow lifted her hair, and the sunlight passed through it, fragmented and changing, like the scales on the water.

The light pink nails appeared translucent in the sun. Slowly stroking the nameplate card representing identity and qualifications, Heshia cast her eyes to the distance outside the window, looking at this vast and desolate world.

There are many such Gobi wildernesses in the north of the Jade Skirt, which are empty for thousands of miles, with only a few desert plants distributed in them.

It is said that there were grasslands and forests here hundreds of years ago, but those vegetations were destroyed by poisonous rains. Without the fixed vegetation, the land became desertified year by year, and finally formed the desert today, which is hot and empty.

The train was running at high speed, starting from the early morning, passing through the desert-like North District 6, then the rugged and mountainous North District 5, the flat North District 4 with a small amount of vegetation, the half-land and half-lake North District 3, the North District 2 with abandoned factories and rust everywhere, and finally arrived at the huge and majestic canyon. This is the North District 1, where high mountains and canyons coexist, cities are dense, and the population gathers in the center of the north.

The peaks about a thousand meters high pierce the sky, and the gray-white peaks have jagged rocks and many gullies on the surface, which is a typical glacial landform. Going down along the mountain wall, the hillside is covered with verdant coniferous forests, which are yellow and green as a whole. Looking down, more verdant and tender grasslands begin to emerge.

The giant mountains surrounding the canyon provide shelter from the wind and rain. The corrosive poisonous rain will not destroy the world in the canyon. Cities are scattered among the magnificent mountain walls, overlooking this magnificent world in the clouds.

About one-third of the population of the entire northern hemisphere is concentrated in the first northern area, which is one of the few areas with a pleasant climate in the northern hemisphere.

After getting off the train, Heshia stood in the spacious square at the foot of the mountain and couldn't help but look up at the towering mountain in front of her. The top of the mountain was extremely steep. Just looking at it gave people a feeling that it would collapse and make people want to escape from the shadow of the giant mountain.

The sun shone in from the gap between the two giant mountains. One after another, the suspension cars traveled between the giant mountains. There were tracks around the middle of the mountain. Many transport trains were running on them, bringing bursts of roars and excitement.

From time to time, huge white spaceships can be seen taking off and landing in the sky, occasionally covering the entire blue sky above. Some of them landed on the other side of the distant mountain, and some flew along the empty Gobi outside the canyon towards the direction where the sun was setting, turning into black dots.

Walking among these towering mountains, the whole person's mood seemed to be open, and he never wanted to return to the dark and stuffy underground city.

No wonder the classmates all wanted to study and live in the North District 1, and the girl couldn't help but think so.

This is just the North District 1. It is said that the South District 1 in the southern hemisphere is more prosperous and beautiful, which is unimaginable.

Following the prompts of the personal terminal, Heshia crossed the huge cross square and walked to the steps on one side. Such steps are like the front door of an ancient theater, about hundreds of meters wide, with dense lamp posts. After climbing up and turning several times, he arrived at a large viewing platform halfway up the mountain.

Standing here, you can overlook the huge cross square below. The figures on the square are not much bigger than ants and sesame seeds. In the space between, there are sightseeing hovercrafts flying by from time to time.

[Go straight for 620 meters in the east direction at 2 o'clock, and you will see the stop of Line 8192. Take the bus and go 49 stops, then get off at the Wolf Poison Peak Station...]

Following the instructions, Heshia climbed the stairs and soon saw the red station on the mountainside. It had a smooth red glazed exterior wall, dark gold transparent metal corridors and windows. After entering the station, just step on the square floating floor and hold the handles on the side, and they will take you to where you want to go.

When she arrived at the stop, the girl stepped off the square board and stood with many people waiting patiently. There were also many students from other places here. Judging from their appearance, they should also be here to take the retest.

"I don't know if I can pass it. I have been practicing hard for half a year for this." A short-haired boy was rubbing his fists and feet. He was wearing a loose white martial arts uniform and had a bandage on his wrist, but it should be for showing off.

"I am going to the only witchcraft academy within the Emerald Skirt. Moon of March, Star of Stars, Alansiluka, Minetlanhua, and all the saints among the stars, bear witness for me. I will follow the path of the witches of the past and accomplish the great feat of crossing the star tracks."

A girl wearing a black witch hat was praying with her eyes closed. She held a mysterious golden pendant in her right hand and waved her left hand in the air. Light blue trajectories emerged, forming a complex badge symbol.

"You two, if we hadn't known each other since childhood, I really wouldn't want to stand with you." Among the three, the only normal girl with black braids pushed her glasses on her nose and stepped back a few steps to show that she was not familiar with the two.

"Okay, Taohui, don't hide. The three of us agreed to become legends together when we were young." The girl wearing a wizard hat grabbed her companion, put her arm around her waist, and then "held" the black braided girl to the mountain train.

"Let's go! The goal this time is victory!"

"Wow!" It

's so beautiful and energetic. The girl also boarded the train with brisk steps, thinking in her heart.

Compared with these energetic students, she felt that she was not of the same age, and her mentality was completely different. Perhaps it was the harsh living environment in Arpeggio City that forced people to give up many fantasies and focus on competition and comparison.

In her junior high school, her classmates either worry about their future school and work, or think about making money and intrigue all day long, which makes her less imaginative.

However, not everyone lives this kind of life. Just like the three students just now, they are still pursuing the romance and possibilities in life, which makes people not disgusted, but only slightly envious.

The train started, and it was attached to the side of the mountain wall and ran rapidly, from slow to fast. Outside the window on the other side were the abyss and mountains, the sky and the deep valley. Soon the speed reached 500KM per hour, and it rotated and undulated in the mountains, like some kind of ancient entertainment scene called "roller coaster".

Half an hour later, Heshia got off the car with a dizzy head. This is a platform on a high mountain, which is as neat as a giant mountain cut in half. It covers an area of ​​about hundreds of square kilometers. There are white and elegant buildings standing on it, and trees are arranged among them. The environment is elegant.

Is this the Iridium Academy?

She looked up at the huge white archway, with intricate and beautiful handwriting flowing through it. The gateposts were wrapped with iris patterns drawn with fine blue crystals. Students came in and out from time to time. They were wearing white uniforms with fine blue edges and a sapphire bow in the middle of their collars, which made people envy them.

Pressing her chest lightly to cheer herself up, Heshia walked into the magnificent school gate.

It's about to start, Heshia.

Come on, you can't be worse than your sister.
