Ionization balance
Rui Yang leaned on the window, staring out without blinking.
"Is this Parnaki?" she murmured, her eyes filled with obsession.
Although some people have analyzed, modeled and restored the full appearance of Parnaki by analyzing the Parnaki hanging upside down in the sky, Rui Yang was still shocked by its grandeur when he saw this world with his own eyes.
The whole city has buildings of different heights, including tall buildings with pointed roofs and low houses. The river that runs through the city divides the city into two distinct north and south sides with different styles. The buildings on the north side are obviously more fashionable and trendy. Although they are still mainly medieval Western-style buildings, some modern buildings can be seen faintly. The closer to the south side, the more solemn the building is, and there is a strong sense of religion everywhere. The architectural style is similar to Gothic, and it has a sense of déjà vu of Ishgard in FF14, but the city is not built on the mountains, but has the intricate and undulating architectural design of Ishgard.
The fusion of two completely different architectural styles gives the entire city a wonderful sense of both unity and division.
Several streets have reshaped the city, making the entire city look like a distorted "井" character.
——This is Agulo, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Griffin Car was equipped with a sound transmission magic. Although Zhou Xun and Zhou Ruo had some complaints about being the team leader, they were still quite reliable when it came to the work.
At this moment, he took the opportunity to introduce the city to Zhou Moran and used sound transmission magic to send the voice of the commentary into every carriage.
"You should have learned the meaning of the basic word 'Aguro' in the Parnacian Common Language course. Therefore, this place can also be called the 'City of the Sun'. The first king who established the Saint Malo Empire believed that he was the sun among all humans, so the place where he was born was the city where the sun rose. Therefore, this place was named 'Aguro' and the capital was moved here."
Zhou Ruo's voice was calm and clear. After she finished introducing the origins of the city's naming, Zhou Xun's voice followed.
"Everyone, you can look down through the window. We are now in the educational district of Aguro. All the schools in Aguro are distributed here. The Aguro School of Magic that you are about to attend is located here. It is the number one school in the Holy Roman Empire and one of the top ten magic schools in the entire Panaki."
"Wow!" Rui Yang listened to the explanation and widened his eyes in excitement: "Brother, did you hear that? I'm enrolled in such a great school?"
Rui Hang looked at his excited sister lovingly and said softly, "Don't be so excited. Regardless of whether the school is good or not, you are used to the convenient life in modern society, so you may not be able to get used to life here."
In fact, the faculty of Penglai Academy is even better than that of Aguro Magic Academy - Rui Yang's magic teacher, Xiao Shichuan, who is also the dean of the magic branch, is better than all the teachers in the entire Aguro Magic Academy combined.
Among all the students in Class 9, there is a top court magician like Shen Qiting, who is known as the "mobile library", but Shen Qiting is good at all kinds of knowledge, more in "memory" rather than "research". Compared with studying magic, her biggest hobby is collecting all kinds of books, doing "astrology" as her job as an "astrologer", and archaeological excavation of the large and small ruins of Parnaki.
Lin Lang, who is also able to use various complex magics, relies on his top-level talent and terrifyingly sophisticated operation of mental magic.
As an alchemist, although Zhang Jiajia has made great achievements in magic, his research direction is more inclined towards "alchemy".
Only Xiao Shichuan had been immersed in the research and development of magic from the time he crossed over to Parnaki until he returned to Earth.
In terms of the perception and application of magic, no one in the entire Class 9, or even in the entire Parnaki, can compare with him, not even Rui Hang.
Not to mention that Penglai Academy also has two top masters, Ye Ziyu and Gao Shu. One is the "Night Watchman" who has guarded the Beiyuan Desert for hundreds of years, a half-elf Ye Ziyu who is an expert in both magic and swordsmanship; the other is the Pope of the "Temple of Destruction", who also has profound attainments in magic, but prefers to break the framework and bring forth new ideas.
If there is one flaw, it is that the three of them have been in high positions for a long time and have not been in contact with low-end combat power for many years. Asking them to teach a group of freshmen who have just been exposed to magic is like asking a professor at University B who specializes in supervising doctoral students to teach elementary school students how to do exercises. Although they will not be unable to do it, they will always bring out some advanced concepts that make people feel like they are listening to a foreign language in the process.
The best way to learn a foreign language is to be in an environment where the language is spoken.
Students graduating from Aguro Magic Academy usually start as intermediate magicians, which in Rui Hang's eyes is no different from kindergarten, but for ordinary people, it is already the level of intermediate to advanced magicians, and the education is just right for Rui Yang to get started.
If it weren't for this, Rui Hang would not have allowed Rui Yang to study here.
He knew his sister very well. Even though there was omnipotent magic here, Parnaki's extracurricular life was not as rich as that on Earth.
There are no electronic devices, no various entertainment facilities, no complicated games. Although movies, TV series, etc. have developed as a by-product of the Nine Classes, compared with the huge entertainment industry chain on Earth, the stories created by people in Parnaki who are still stuck in the old-fashioned thinking may not necessarily suit the tastes of modern people, and their excitement is greatly reduced.
Come to think of it, we could try to promote the entertainment industry in Panaki.
As Rui Hang was thinking, his thoughts turned to work again.
How can those blockbusters on Earth that rely on special effects be as exciting as the magic of real swords and guns?
Without the time spent on producing special effects, the shooting and production cycle can be greatly shortened, and the cost of shooting will also be reduced a lot.
Adaptations of novels and comics that are often impossible to realize on Earth due to investment and technology constraints can create incredible sparks when combined with Parnaji's magic.
For the Parnaki people, magic is nothing new to them, but the imaginative stories from Earth can definitely bring a strong shock to the locals.
At the same time, the Earth's culture, customs, and other concepts can be subtly accepted by the Parnaki people through these things, which will greatly facilitate future cooperation between the two worlds and cultural exchanges between the two worlds.
Not to mention, the advanced ideas and concepts from Earth will quietly penetrate into the hearts of every audience member and change their minds unconsciously.
Of course, such means require the speed and scale of ideological penetration to be controlled. If not controlled, these advantages will become disadvantages, exacerbating social contradictions and plunging the world into chaos.
No matter how you think about it, this is a measure worth implementing. I'll hold a class meeting when I get back and bring Ou Wenna and the others to promote this plan together.
...
Hearing Rui Hang's words, Rui Yang hummed, with a trace of worry between his brows: "That's right. I just don't know if Parnaki can use my electronic products. It would be great if they could be connected to the Internet. I still want to continue watching the drama...Brother, brother? Are you listening to me?"
Rui Yang talked a lot to herself and turned around to hear what her brother had to say, but she saw Rui Hang staring out the window, his lips trembling slightly, as if he was talking to himself. He was completely immersed in his own world and didn't pay any attention to what she said.
Rui Yang sighed.
For some reason, her brother would become distracted while talking to her recently.
Every time this happened, Rui Hang would stay alone and quiet for a long time.
Although she didn't know what Rui Hang was thinking about, Rui Yang didn't want to disturb Rui Hang, so she stopped talking and continued to listen quietly to the radio in the car.
"...Go south of Emerald Avenue and you will reach Aguro's commercial district. Basically, you can buy all the magic props, potions, materials, or daily necessities you need here. Aguro's entertainment facilities are also basically concentrated here, but some places have age restrictions. Entering casually may violate the laws of the Holy Roman Empire."
"The river you see now that runs across the east and west sides of Agulo is the Hosambik River, the symbol of Agulo. 'Hosambik' means moon in the Parnaqui language, and the buildings on both sides of the river are the stars of this city."
"South of Hozambique is the living area of the Holy Roman Empire. However, it is not the living area for all residents of the city, but specifically refers to the area where nobles, merchants and social elites live. The two major religions of the Holy Roman Empire - the 'Temple of Life' and the 'Temple of Destruction' are also here. This place has the most expensive land in the entire Holy Roman Empire, and it is also the political core of the Holy Roman Empire. As for the civilians, they are basically scattered in the area north of Hozambique. Although there is no official name, privately, everyone likes to call the north the 'New City' and the south the 'Old Capital'. As for the Old Capital, which is the core of the living area, it is naturally the Royal Castle where the kings of the Saint Malo Empire and the Holy Roman Empire have lived for generations."
At this point, Zhou Ruo's voice paused slightly, and a hint of smile appeared on his face: "We will soon land in the Royal Castle. Welcome everyone to the Holy Roman Empire."
Royal castle?
Before Zhou Ruo finished speaking, there was an uproar in all the carriages.
Being able to travel to the Holy Roman Empire at this critical juncture was enough to show that the school had a strong background and that the treatment they received as students was not bad, but no one had expected that the first place they arrived at after arriving in the other world would be the Palace of the Holy Roman Empire - this was the residence of the Empress!
The speech made by Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, who calls herself "Owena Enki Corison" in the sky, is still talked about by people on Earth.
Whether it is the title of Queen Owena, the identity of a "time traveler", or her domineering appearance, they are all full of topics. She herself has become the undisputed queen of topics in the world.
The place where they landed now was the "holy land" where Ouwena stood alone in the water mirror and destroyed an army of tens of thousands with a wave of her hand.
If the map in "WONDERLAND" had not been updated to the Holy Roman Empire, I'm afraid that people who wanted to check in for the famous scene would fill the entire palace. Now, players on Earth have long known that the MMORPG "Parnaqui" in "WONDERLAND" is a game modeled after the real Parnaqui. If you can't go to another world, you can always play games.
After Parnaji appeared in the public eye, the number of registrations for Parnaji increased by more than ten times.
As for the fact that Owena destroyed an army of tens of thousands of people, the comments on Earth about her were mixed, but generally praised. After all, those people were real invaders and "enemies" of the Earth.
...
Soon, the griffin carriage stopped in the square in front of the palace.
Owena, wearing a gorgeous dress, stood in front of the welcoming team and extended a sincere welcome to the students and their families who came here.
No one expected that not only would they arrive at the palace, but the one who would welcome them would be the legendary Empress.
For a moment, everyone except Rui Hang, Zhou Xun and Zhou Ruo was stunned. They looked in the direction of Ou Wenna and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
The first people to react were the families of Zhou Xun and Zhou Ruo.
Zhou Xun and Zhou Ruo's parents were in the parent group of Class 9 after all. Although they had never met Ou Wenna, they knew her parents. In addition, their children were also traversers and had the same extraordinary status. Therefore, after a brief shock, they regained their composure.
As for Rui Hang's parents, since Class 9 was backed by the Chinese government, the identities of the students were strictly protected. Even though Ou Wenna appeared publicly in the sky above the Earth, her identity on Earth was not widely spread. Rui Yang was in school and didn't have much time to care about gossip. Rui Hang's parents were not the kind of people who liked to watch the fun and listen to gossip, so they didn't know that this famous empress was their son's student.
Rui Hang was a little surprised that Ouwena would appear here.
Ovina's identity is clear. Although the students are from Earth, they are just a group of ordinary people after all. It would be too exaggerated to let the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire personally welcome them. People would inevitably accuse Ovina of praising the other world too much.
However, Ouwenna was a person who didn't care about rumors. Although Rui Hang was surprised, he didn't worry about such trivial matters for Ouwenna.
He could probably guess that Owena came to greet them so grandly probably for him.
As expected, after Ouwena acted like an empress and exchanged a few simple greetings, she took the initiative to propose to host a welcome dinner for everyone.
The dinner was very luxurious, but Ou Wenna, the host, did not appear at the dinner.
But everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Having a meal with an empress who had both real power and strength would make people feel terrified no matter how gentle she was.
In order to cater to their tastes, the dinner was specially arranged in the form of a buffet + dance. Under Owena's arrangement, everyone wore traditional costumes of the Holy Roman Empire, and when they were toasting in the magnificent hall, they felt like they had traveled through time and space in a TV series.
“This is so romantic!”
The younger girls in the team didn't even bother to eat dinner, and went into the dance floor holding up their skirts.
In order to take care of those who can't dance, a dozen young men and women with dignified looks were specially arranged as their dance partners by the dance floor. When the students came, they were all translated by magic, so they didn't have to worry about the language barrier.
Guan Xingwen's gaze swept over the group of men and women. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he half-forced himself to look away.
Now is not the time to look at these people.
He said to himself as his eyes swept around the hall and he soon noticed Rui Hang who was standing in the corner, staring out the window with a glass of wine in his hand.
Guan Xingwen's face lit up with joy, and he casually took a glass of champagne from the tray held by a passing waiter. He adjusted his formal suit, trying to make himself look more elegant, and walked towards Rui Hang with a (self-proclaimed) gentleman's smile on his face. At the same time, he kept thinking about the first words he would say to Rui Hang when they met.
"How are you?"
No, no, this is too simple.
"You look good."
Would it seem too direct?
"haven't seen you for a long time. "
I always feel it's a bit too bland.
Guan Xingwen's mind was working frantically, and the closer he got to Rui Hang, the faster his heart beat.
The lights hanging above his head made Rui Hang's facial features look softer than usual. He was so handsome that he seemed to be carved by God himself. Every inch of him was so charming.
After not seeing him for several years, he actually looks better than before.
Guan Xingwen suddenly felt a little regretful. Perhaps he shouldn't have followed his family's arrangements and cut off contact with Rui Hang.
But who made Rui Hang so stubborn? He clearly said that he and that woman would only maintain a superficial marriage and his heart was still with Rui Hang. They could have dated like before, but Rui Hang unilaterally cut off all contact.
But Guan Xingwen believes that their love for many years will not be fake, nor will it disappear, but will only grow stronger with the passage of time.
Guan Xingwen took a deep breath, deepening the smile on his lips. Just as he was about to speak, a group of people dressed in gorgeous palace costumes and with extraordinary temperament suddenly walked into the hall, went straight to Rui Hang, and forcefully inserted themselves between Rui Hang and Guan Xingwen.
"Sir..." The leading man said in standard Mandarin, "His Majesty invites you to dine with him."
In an instant, the music in the hall also disappeared.
Looking at the respectful Sebastian in front of him, Rui Hang's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Sebastian is Owena’s confidant, so he naturally knows his identity, but now he pretends to know nothing about his identity and only invites him as an ordinary guest.
If the purpose was to hide his true identity, this large group of people was a bit too high-profile.
What is Owena doing?
He complained in his mind.
Fortunately, he was standing by the window just now, thinking about the entertainment plan. He was going to invite Ouwena to participate in this plan, and now was a good opportunity to discuss it.
Anyway, I will be revealing my identity to my parents and Yangyang in two days. If I let them become suspicious now, it will be easier for me to speak up then.
Rui Hang thought to himself.
As for what other people think, Rui Hang doesn't care.
He was about to be taken away before he could even remember to contact Rui Hang.
Guan Xingwen shook his lips, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out to Rui Hang: "Rui Hang!"
Rui Hang was stunned for a moment, subconsciously turned his head, and met a pair of eyes full of expressions.
Rui Hang: “You…”
Guan Xingwen became uncontrollably excited, the familiar voice flowed into his ears, and his whole body became numb. Every bit of his past with Rui Hang flashed wildly in his mind, and every frame was full of love.
"It's me!" he couldn't help but say.
"...Who are you?" Rui Hang asked blankly.
Guan Xingwen: “…”
Rui Hang only remembered the bad things his ex-boyfriend did. As for the insignificant things like appearance, Rui Hang, whose mind was full of only important things, would not let such garbage stay in her head.
"What a weird guy." Seeing that the man in front of him didn't speak for a long time, Rui Hang threw out a sentence lightly and left the banquet hall directly with the people who came.
It was not until all the people who had come disappeared into the hall that the uproar resounded throughout the hall.
"Who was that man just now?"
"Why did Her Majesty invite him to dinner alone?"
"She must have fallen for his face!"
"Is this how handsome guys are treated? They'll still be noticed even if they go to another world!"
The sounds of these discussions naturally drifted into Rui Yang's ears. She and her parents looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"My brother...isn't going to marry into the Holy Roman Empire and become the queen, right?" Rui Yang said with difficulty.
Zhou Xun and Zhou Ruo, who were eavesdropping on the side, said: "......"
The two who were almost choked had to suppress their laughter and explained to everyone: "You think too much, Teacher Rui is the teacher of Her Majesty the Queen on Earth."
"What!"
Exclamations came one after another, but the loudest one did not come from Rui Hang's parents, but from Guan Xingwen, who had just suffered a blow.
He chose to marry the woman arranged by his parents not only to satisfy his parents' wishes, but also because the woman's family was very good and could make his life smooth. It was also thanks to the financial support from the woman's family that his business is now thriving.
As the saying goes, when one is well fed and clothed, one will think of his wife. When family and career are both successful, people will start to reminisce about the past, missing the perfect and flawless "Chun Yuan" whom they cannot obtain.
The reason why Guan Xingwen did not try to contact Rui Hang in the past two years was also because he was beaten up by Rui Hang when they broke up.
Over the years, he had been telling himself that Rui Hang was just a teacher with no future. If he stayed with him, it would not be good for his career at all.
Before meeting Rui Hang, he even felt a sense of revengeful pride - you are just an ordinary teacher now, but I am worth tens of millions and I am praised everywhere. If you had not rejected me at the beginning, you would be the one enjoying all this now.
Guan Xingwen, who had long been accustomed to the value of "profits first", naturally believed that no matter how noble Rui Hang was, he would be impressed by his status and worth.
But this set of values has a fatal flaw - when the other party's status and worth are far higher than his own, all his advantages will disappear and he will become more humble than ever before.
So what if he was a high school teacher? His student was the empress of a country! A proper imperial teacher!
With Ouwena around, money, status, and even power, aren't they all things that Rui Hang can easily obtain?
If I had insisted at the beginning, would I have had a share of these things?
After several years, Guan Xingwen felt strong regret for the first time.
...
Compared to the shocked Guan Xingwen and Rui Hang's parents, Rui Yang looked thoughtful.
She came into contact with more things related to the other world, and was able to capture some key information from the clues of Rui Hang's journey.
Rui Yang had already made relevant preparations in his heart, but he never expected that his brother actually had such an explosive identity as the Imperial Teacher.
What a brother, he just pretended to be unfamiliar with the Empress in the car!
Rui Yang's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she was a little unhappy about Rui Hang's concealment, but her attention soon shifted from one thing to another - the super delicious and super high-end dessert that her brother brought home last time, could it be a reward from Her Majesty the Empress!
——Although Class 9 often complains that Parnaki is a food desert, this does not mean that there is no delicious food in Parnaki. Especially after Class 9 traveled through time, Parnaki’s cuisine has undergone a revolutionary reform.
The advantage of Parnaki is that it is soaked in magic, far surpassing the top ingredients on Earth.
These ingredients do not require complicated cooking methods and are delicious when eaten directly.
However, its high price also means that these delicacies are destined to be out of reach for ordinary people.
Rui Hang likes sweets and has some experience in making desserts. The cooking methods from Earth combined with the top ingredients from Parnaki make the desserts enough to make everyone who eats them ecstatic.
Rui Yang was so excited that he walked around all the tables in the hall, but he didn't see any familiar desserts. His enthusiasm was instantly extinguished and he felt a little listless.
Guan Xingwu walked over at this time and took the initiative to talk to Rui Yang.
"You seem to be in a bad mood. Is the food not to your taste?"
Who is this person?
Rui Yang raised her eyelids and took a look. The man in front of her had a fake elegant smile on his face. He was the hypocritical man she hated the most.
The tone is so intimate, are they very familiar with each other?
Rui Yang was a little annoyed at not getting to eat the food he liked, and his expression became unfriendly.
"It has nothing to do with you." Rui Yang said this coldly, turned around and walked towards Zhou Xun in the distance.
Guan Xingwu didn't expect to be rejected directly. He felt like he was being poured cold water from head to toe and was a little angry, but his persistence in his heart deepened.
He looked at Zhou Xun who was having an "intimate" conversation with Rui Yang, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
...
Zhou Xun, who in Guan Xingwu's eyes was "having an intimate conversation" with Rui Yang, was a little dazed at this moment.
"Dessert?" He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I don't really eat sweets, so I'm not sure."
"It's not a roadside dessert. It should be very famous. My brother brought it back for me to eat once before." Rui Yang gestured, "It's about this big, with milk jelly on top and a baked cake on the bottom... Isn't it a specialty of the Holy Roman Empire?"
"I don't think I've heard of such a dessert." Zhou Xun said in confusion: "Tomorrow is a free action day, why don't you go look for it on the street?"
Rui Yang felt a little disappointed: "This is the only way."
In the shadows of the hall, a pair of eyes quietly watched Rui Yang's every move, and remembered her every word in their hearts, and used magic to transmit it to Ulysses outside the palace.
Inside the hotel where they were hiding, Ulysses solemnly gave orders to the secret guards in front of him: "Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to eat sable tart, did you all hear clearly?"
A group of burly men stood at attention: "Make sure to complete the mission!"
At the same time, in the distant Kingdom of Afran, the guards in charge of intelligence rushed into the palace breathlessly and delivered the news to the king, Duke Sandro, and other ministers.
"The latest intelligence - a magic encrypted call was intercepted near the Holy Roman Empire Palace. After the Grand Mage interpreted it, he obtained the four words 'Shableta'!"
"Shabletart?"
"What's the code?"
"It's a tactic! It must be a new tactic that the empress came up with!"
"Did she notice the people we placed in Aguro?"
"Impossible! Our people haven't even officially started the operation yet! How could she have discovered us?"
"What the hell is Shabletta!"
Just when a prince and minister of the Kingdom of Yaflan were unable to sleep all night because of "Shableta", a shop specializing in (demon) desserts was renovated overnight and opened for business facing the morning sun.
