Chapter 184 Ready to go
As usual, Principal Hart delivered a short speech to the graduates, encouraging them to work hard in the next trial task, and then introduced the task rules, because the trial is an exam that cannot be quantified, so in addition to going to the designated place In addition to getting back the task items, I also need to do an important homework, write a task diary, and record every bit of every day to prove that the task is indeed completed by myself.

The principal also emphasized that everyone will be regarded as an official magician who can work independently from the moment they get the task topic, and they can share their tasks with the students, but they can no longer seek help from each other, or even other teachers and students. No, because anyone in the school is a stakeholder, and the graduates can only discuss the task plan with their relatives and friends outside the school. The purpose is to ask them to find a way to solve the difficulties first.

These are the basic common sense that I have known for a long time. Bai Tongtong has heard it countless times when she was working as Ai Ni's bodyguard at school, and there is nothing she can't understand.

After Principal Hart finished his routine speech, the vice-principal stepped forward holding the box, announced the method of drawing lots, and then opened the lid of the box. The simplest little tornado folded everything inside and sealed it with a pin. The paper slips were all wrapped around the heads of the students, and then the students were seen showing their skills, using their best magic to grab a piece of paper.

Four or 50 people started working together, and the scene immediately became a lot more chaotic. Various magics were flying overhead. Although they were all non-harmful auxiliary magics, so many magics were mixed together, and the mobilized elemental fluctuations were quite scary. , and also influence each other and interfere with the students' ability to control the magic in their hands.

Bai Tongtong was not in a hurry to act first, she first observed and observed, the dozens of notes above her head had been flying in circles under the control of the vice-principal, rather than drawing lots, it was better to try her luck, to see who was lucky enough to grab it in the least time One, not everyone can get a task consistent with their major, it is full of randomness, but it is fair.

After observing for a while, there were only three or four students who grabbed the topic. They hurriedly registered with the principal's assistant, bid farewell to the principal and teachers, and ran towards the library.

Seeing that some people had already left first, the remaining people became even more anxious. Everyone was worried that if they got the questions late, others would take the information they wanted to check and it would affect their departure arrangements.

Bai Tongtong didn't have the patience to wait until others had finished grabbing the last one for herself, so she made a bad move. She winked at A Huang who was staying with the teachers, and then a gust of wind blew it away. A note controlled by the vice-principal.

During the short period of a second or two when the vice principal gathered the paper strips together again and continued to fly in circles over the students' heads, Ah Huang leaped high from the ground, rushed straight at the paper strips, flicked his tail, and flew towards Bai Tongtong. Direction randomly typed out a note, and then lightly landed on the other side of the crowd.

Bai Tongtong watched A Huang's movements closely, followed immediately after seeing the situation, trotted a few steps, jumped up high on the shoulders of a boy, stretched his arms, and successfully intercepted the topic that A Huang had chosen for her in midair.

All the teachers and students present looked at Bai Tongtong speechlessly. After a brief silence, the students continued to fight fiercely.

Bai Tongtong jumped up and down to do the registration. The principal's assistant pulled out the pin to open the note, copied the title inside on a form, and then Bai Tongtong signed his name in the task person column at the back.

After getting the topic, Bai Tongtong was not in a hurry to leave. She stood aside and studied her topic first. On the palm-sized high-grade writing paper, there was only one item name, black molten stone.

Bai Tongtong had never heard of this completely unfamiliar thing, and she didn't know whether it was an ordinary item or a magic element item, whether it was naturally generated or artificially synthesized, and she didn't know all the basic knowledge she should know.

"What is black molten stone? Do you know? Ah Huang?"

Ah Huang tilted his head and snorted in confusion.

Principal Hart and the teachers standing nearby just smiled, some shrugged, and said nothing.

Bai Tongtong was still not in a hurry. She took out the teleportation rune stone used to communicate with Farrell. After such a long contact, the magic power of the spar was only a little bit, and it could be used a few more times. She didn't ask Farrell for help. Asked to get her a new one.

Bai Tongtong activated the teleportation formation, and directly threw the question into it under the watchful eyes of the teachers. While waiting for the reply with the runestones, he watched the students grab the notes.

Master Jules walked over slowly, squinted at the rune stone, and rolled his eyes at Principal Hart. The principal shrugged his eyebrows back, and the two old men exchanged glances that only they could understand.

When Farrell received the note, he had just left home. On the way to the elders’ home in a carriage, he took out the runestones and took the note. Seeing that the title was black molten stone, he couldn’t help curling his lips and showing a little sympathy for Bai Tongtong. Then write down the name, meaning and place of origin of the black molten stone on the back of the note, and reply to the past.

The note jumped out from the runestone in Bai Tongtong's hand, and she took it down with a smile on her face. After seeing the place of origin, her eyes suddenly widened to the size of a bell.

Black lava means black lava rock, so the place of origin is the Kingdom of Singato, which is known as the country of volcanoes.

There was only this sentence on the small note, but at least he knew what materials to look up. Bai Tongtong said goodbye to the principal and teachers, and whistled at Ah Huang, "Let's go, let's go to the library."

"Stop." Principal Hart said, "Ah Huang, go home, Tongtong, you are not allowed to borrow Ah Huang's strength."

"I haven't started yet, Headmaster, I'm just going to a library."

"To go to the library, you can either walk there, or escape by yourself, don't let Ah Huang help you to be lazy."

Principal Hart's expression was serious and non-negotiable. Bai Tongtong stuck out his tongue, stopped insisting, and patted Ah Huang's head, "You go home and wait for me, and take a good look at the house."

Ah Huang whined a few times reluctantly, watched Bai Tongtong leave with the ground escape technique, and grunted pitifully at Principal Hart twice, the magic light lit up, and it went directly to the guild in the city and returned to Fabao Town.

She succeeded in escaping from Tongxin Lake to the library in one go. Although she didn't have the convenience of going wherever Ah Huang wanted, Bai Tongtong's own level of escaping is not bad, which is in line with her overall magic level.

Ask the administrator for books on the geography of the Kingdom of Singato and black molten stone, and then find a table to wait, and then the administrator sent her a cart of books.

While flipping through the book and extracting notes, he felt that the trial task was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Think you can just pick up black lava rocks when you go to the country of volcanoes?What a mistake.According to the book, black lava is the hottest volcanic rock. For a long time, it has only been found in the magma of Mount Begen, the highest volcano king in Singato. It is guessed that it is directly formed by the condensation of underground magma. It is a very useful magic. Elemental materials can continuously provide stable high temperature, which is quite convenient when doing some special heating experiments.

But the problem is that even in the most frequent eruption year of the Begen Volcano, no more than ten pieces of black lava can be picked up from the cooled magma on the surface. The best way to obtain it is to dig deep into the volcano. If you are lucky, you will get a lot of money. A black molten stone the size of a small meatball can be sold for a detached house with a small garden in the front yard in an upper-class community. , or buy a piece of vacant land in a medium-sized community and ask someone to build a new building. After moving, there will still be some start-up capital for a small business.

Bai Tongtong wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, he had no idea how he obtained such a precious mission item, he could only hope that he could find a good way when he arrived at the capital of Xingato.

The students who got their assignments came to the library to look up materials one after another, occupying a table without disturbing each other. When Bai Tongtong went to the nearest restaurant for lunch at noon, many people were still copying books seriously and did not leave their seats until From the beginning of the afternoon, some people slowly packed their things and left in a hurry holding their notebooks.

Bai Tongtong has also been copying books in the library until evening. The administrative division of the Kingdom of Singator is very interesting. There are too many volcanoes in the territory, so just one volcano named the surrounding area. The official name of the place where the Begen volcano is located is called Bei. In the root region, the main city is the city of Begen at the foot of the Begen Mountain, and it radiates outwards to large and small towns and villages.

Flipping through the harvest of copying books today, I feel that I have copied everything that should be copied, and I can only go to Singato to read while I don’t know. Bai Tongtong packs up the things and returns the book to the administrator. Stopping and fleeing, go back to the guild in the city.

Considering that she would leave for Xingato from the guild in the capital tomorrow morning, Bai Tongtong was too lazy to go back to her place to sleep, so she went directly to the capital, booked a room for herself in the guild, and went to the street to have dinner before coming back. rest.

Sitting on the bed, she read the notes carefully while enjoying the drinks and snacks that had just been brought in. There was a sudden movement in the ring. There are three heavy new teleportation rune stones made of stone, with numbers engraved on the side of each piece, marking one, two, three, and a note from Farrell, asking her to keep in touch with him as much as possible when she is abroad. Will do what we can to help.

On a whim, Bai Tongtong wrote back to ask if it happened that she was also in the capital tonight, and she wanted to know if it would be convenient to meet her.

Farrell, who was writing a letter to Bai Tongtong while working in the study, stood up so excitedly when he received the reply that he almost overturned his chair. Farrell rolled his eyes, flew out of the terrace, and instinctively attacked the guild first. Before he reached the guild, he smelled a white smell in the sky. Ah Huang was not there, and it peeked and monitored more boldly, and almost showed it on the glass window. s face.

Farrell walked around the big desk a few times before sitting down and thinking about replying to Bai Tongtong. Because he was going to write a report tonight, he declined the request to meet, and promised that he might have a meal or a drink with him at the big meeting in September. Chance of tea.

Bai Tongtong curled her lips in regret, and didn't force her anymore. Instead, she asked about the customs and political common sense of the Kingdom of Singato. She didn't want to get along with the locals unhappily because of unintentional negligence.

Farrell, who quickly calmed down, used the simplest vocabulary to list the things that Bai Tongtong needed to pay attention to in Singato. He thought of writing one item at a time. There are many customs that are basically common to all countries, and only a few need special attention.

Bai Tongtong looked at the two-page list and quickly scrolled down. When he saw that no onlookers, groping and giving food to children were also listed on it, he felt very curious, so he wrote back specifically to ask about this item.

Farrell has heard about the origin of this incident, but he is unwilling to explain it too clearly to Bai Tongtong. If everything is explained clearly, her journey in Singato will lose the fun of exploring, so he just gave her a vague explanation. Explaining, claiming that it seems to be a taboo that developed from a long-ago social custom, and their children were taught from an early age not to talk to strangers, not to be alone with strangers.

Based on her life experience, Bai Tongtong believed that this might be a preventive measure for parents to prevent their children from being trafficked. She reminded herself that when she arrived in Singato, she would first ask an adult when asking for directions, and stay away from children to avoid misunderstandings.

Knowing the local conditions and customs almost, Bai Tongtong asked about the common sense of politics, and the books he read during the day were all professional books on geography, and he didn't have time to read politics.

Geographically speaking, the geographical location of the country of Singato has a very strategic advantage. Whether it is from east to west or from south to north, it must pass through Singato. They are the main transportation routes of this continent. Historically Naturally, there are frequent wars. Even if the volcano in their country erupts from time to time, the battles are not infrequent.

According to the current power rankings of countries on the mainland, both Gulis and Rebjanik have certain political influence on Singato.

In Faro, the capital of Singato, there is a magician's guild called the Twin Towers. There is a street outside the gates of the two buildings in the north and south, and the gate of the small office building in the middle faces the street in the west. The three gates of the guild face Santiao Street, which is the characteristic of this building.

The north building is equipped with a teleportation array to Gulis, and the south building is equipped with a teleportation array to Rebjanik. They are all connected to the small building in the middle, and you can walk around inside. The small building is a neutral area. There is a luxurious restaurant where you can eat delicacies from all over the world, it is worth a visit.However, the rules of the guild are that even if enemies meet, they cannot fight in the guild's territory, even in the garden, and if they don't reason with both parties, they will be fined directly; if they fight in the neutral zone, they have to go to Sit in prison for a while, and if someone is released on bail, he can go out early, otherwise he can stay for a few more days.

Bai Tongtong was amazed, keeping this point firmly in his mind, and then he must not get dizzy and go to the wrong gate of the guild.

However, the two countries have set up their own teleportation arrays in Singator, which is really influential, and it also shows the strength of the magic world of the Rebyaniks. As for the transnational teleportation arrays, they also have a considerable number Magical resources are enough, manpower, material and financial resources, all of which will not work.

No wonder such a country has been arguing with Gulisi for so many years, but has no actual action. It is conceivable that it must be evenly matched and difficult to start, tsk tsk tsk.

The back-and-forth chat with Farrell didn't end until almost midnight. Get a good night's sleep. The Kingdom of Singato is going west. There is a little jet lag, so Bai Tongtong doesn't have to leave early tomorrow.

 It’s finally the season when the weather is so cold that you can’t even stretch out your hands. Coding in winter is too painful. In such weather, it’s so blissful to have a bowl of hot curry.Well, try to earn money to buy curry.By the way, I made beer chicken wings tonight. I added too much soy sauce, which made it too salty. To balance it, I added more sugar, which made it too sweet. The soup was boiled into a paste, but the color was quite beautiful. Next time Improve again.
