There were more than seventy children, all wearing the same uniform. The only difference was the number of silver threads on the magician's shawls. Some children only used red ribbons instead of silver threads to tie their shawls. Such a group of children lined up in a neat formation like an army. The visual impact and spirit of their performance was even worse than the army of the Society of Sorcerers.
Standing in front of the formation were the two children to be praised, Lenny and Charlotte. As the actual controller of the academy, of course, Lin had to come out and say a bunch of nonsense. For example, how well the two children performed, how well they were loved and trusted by everyone, and how they would become pillars of the magic world in the future.
Lin Yi didn't know if the people who heard these untrue words were disgusted and disgusted like him in the past. But the families of the two children were moved to tears, which was especially eye-catching in the crowd.
The one who gave the two children the award was the president of the academy for the first time – Lord Orange Eaton. In the past year, the old man's focus was on controlling the puppet in the Cardeniz district branch. It was as if the last remnants of his life were being emitted. Recently, the old man's health had been deteriorating.
But on this rare day of the academy's anniversary celebration, the president still came out with the help of his chief student, Chuck Weiss. But in Lin's opinion, with the president's scheming, he probably didn't come for the academy or the children, but for the large group of people in the audience.
Almost everyone who had received an invitation had come. There were those who didn't receive an invitation, and there were also those who came uninvited. On this joyous day, the atmosphere was oppressive and strange, making it hard for a certain someone to breathe.
Especially in the crowd, there were guards who cleared out three small spaces. Three people stood in the middle, like the center of the low pressure, faintly pushing away the people around them. One of the women was an old acquaintance of Lin's. The last time they met, she was still called Mira. Her surname was Sarian, but he only found out later. Now, her name was Yulia III, the queen of the Kingdom of Falkland.
One was Gruber I, the king of the Kingdom of Reunion. The other was Steiner III, the king of the Kingdom of Zilin. This country was located at the junction of the Cardeniz district and the Sijia district. At the same time, it was also the most powerful country in the southwest peninsula of the mysterious world. Although it was still inferior to any branch of the Society of Sorcerers, compared to the loose organization of the Association, the Kingdom of Zilin had a certain degree of confidence, enough to challenge the Association.
Generally speaking, nobles who were greedy for pleasure or economically minded would gather in cities with a large crowd. A large number of magicians had gathered at the headquarters of the Magic Caster Association branch. Their needs would gather a considerable number of people, and money would attract creatures like nobles to gather. But of the nobles, of the nobles, of course, of the nobles, of the nobles.
No matter the reason, no matter what the reason, it was a big deal. And the meeting of the kings of different countries was the most important event of all. Then, who wouldn't, who wouldn't would be nervous when they were in their own territory.
For the president of Orange Eaton, even if these three countries joined forces, their strength was not enough to threaten the five magic towers protecting Wutu City. However, this referred to the comparison of strength in a direct confrontation. What humans were best at was actually conspiracies and tricks, which was precisely what the magic towers couldn't defend against.
Among these three countries, the Kingdom of Zilin was an old power in the southwest peninsula, the successor of the Kingdom of Falkland was a member of the strongest, and the Kingdom of Reunion took advantage of the fact that its territory included Wutu City and the core area of the Sijia district. Its economic development and scale had leaped to become the leader of the other countries, and its military was constantly strengthening.
It could be said that the movements of the three kings in Wutu City were enough to affect the power of the entire southwest peninsula. The three kings attending the anniversary celebration of the Orange Eaton Academy at the same time was a move that no one had expected. As a result, Gabriel Tripwood, the creator of the Great Sage's Tower, was once again pushed to the heart of the struggle.
However, someone who didn't care about the trend of the forum didn't have this awareness. Even the three kings, who were the focus of attention, he thought that they were just aristocrats with great ostentation, except for Yulia III. After all, he had met the queen before, and his impression of her was quite deep. However, he had no clue why the other party came.
After the ceremony, it was time for everyone to be free. The magic apprentices of the academy, on the other hand, were reuniting with family members they hadn't seen in a long time. Some of them were at the street vendors gathering to settle their daily needs, while others were strolling around the academy, showing their family members where they lived.
Basically, there were no restricted areas in the academy, but all the teachers' private spaces were not allowed to be visited without the permission of the owner. As for the prohibition in the academy, no apprentice dared to cross the minefield.
In the corner of the academy, in the open-air seats of the café, there was a surging tide of people. As the originator of the coffee drink, the café opened by himself was of course the focus of everyone's attention. In particular, this place was a long way from Wutu City, and it was inconvenient to travel, so most people didn't have the chance to taste the excellent coffee.
But after people came, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. There was no reason, just because the people who were busy in and out of the academy's café today weren't the blond apprentices of some rumored magician, but waiters of the largest cafés in the city. For people who were addicted to coffee, they were all familiar faces. But even so, they still had to drink.
For someone, the purpose of opening a café in the academy was convenience, not money. It was conceivable that there would be a lot of people visiting the academy today, and the café was bound to become a place for everyone to gather and rest. He didn't want his apprentice to be like a waitress. In addition to facing all kinds of guests, she also tired herself out like a dog.
Therefore, he entrusted the coffee industry in the city to let them enter today. In addition to providing their own materials and manpower, the money they earned would of course belong to them. Lin only charged them a fixed fee for the venue and cleaning. Considering each lecture day, the academy's night market – it was a term of unknown origin, but it aptly described the market's characteristics. Their ability to make money, the coffee industry gladly accepted.
But Lin still personally made a pot of coffee to entertain their president – Great Magician Orange Eaton. And the one who was lucky enough to taste someone's craft was Great Astrologer Spiller, who was nearly a hundred years old. This old man and the president of the district branch could be considered old acquaintances. Although the two didn't have a very good relationship, but they cooperated a lot on official matters.
After taking a sip, the old president exhaled and said with satisfaction: "This is like drinking coffee, the others are like rotten water."
"Hehe, Sir President, you're exaggerating enough. Everyone's coffee has their own taste, no one's is the best. " Lin smoothed things over, and at the same time made an apologetic expression to the support personnel who were affected by the president's attack. "If you have time, you can come to the academy more often, so I can show my filial piety to you."
"No, no." Waving his hand, Orange Eaton said: "It's too far. It takes a while for me to come here. How can I come here often? Unfortunately, you left the district early in the morning and will be back late. It's a pity that you missed the time when I was free. "
After laughing, Lin turned to look at the other person and said: "Master Spiller, long time no see. I'm very happy to see you in good health. "
The grey-haired master sat in a chair and saluted with his hand on his chest. As early as a year ago, Lin announced the issue of the calendar's regularity. But the group of astrologers didn't immediately take action. In other words, the progress of the perpetual calendar was still zero.
But this didn't mean that Master Spiller didn't do anything. He mainly communicated with many astrologers. Not only did he have to obtain understanding, but he also had to tell them what to do in the future, and not destroy everyone's livelihood in one breath.
In fact, in 727, all the inventions related to the P language program were mostly related to the astrologers, including the imitation of the pocket watch. But at this stage, everyone could only make a numeric surface, like the Orange Eaton Academy's commemorative pocket watch, which was made into a pointer surface. So far, no one had seen through the mystery.
It was also because many astrologers tasted the sweetness of the P language. So they were more active in learning the programming language. And these people also became supporters of the revision of the calendar.
Although there were a few stubborn people who would rather stay in their own territory of astrology. But for Master Spiller, he had already given everyone time to change. At the same time, it also proved that the path of the P language was feasible, and the rewards he received were much more than in the past. So don't blame the perpetual calendar for the sudden appearance of a killer weapon.
However, Spiller came to meet Lin on the day of the academy's celebration to congratulate him, and of course, he came with a purpose. After hearing what he said, Lin said in surprise: "Master, you want my star map program?"
"Yes. Since the first time you explained mathematics and used the astronomical cycle as a demonstration, the star map used for the demonstration left a deep impression on me. The reason why we haven't started the compilation of the perpetual calendar these days is that we hope to develop a program for the star map to help us verify and predict. But we didn't have any results at all. "
"So you want my star map program?" Lin felt a little speechless.
"That's right, that's right. Of course, the price can be negotiated. We don't want to take it for free. "
This slightly comforted a certain someone's weak heart. Moreover, the master used the reason that he wanted to verify and predict the calendar, which meant that he only needed the part of the star system, not the complete star map. This part could be handed over to the star map of the star system when he calculated the alignment of the six stars.
On one hand, it was to promote the progress of the perpetual calendar. On the other hand, of course, it was also to give face to the president. Master Spiller appeared again, but he was personally brought over by the president, so he must have some understanding of the content of the request. Perhaps they thought that the star map was harmless, and that private transactions were not a big deal.
The two sides discussed briefly and agreed on another time to pay and collect the goods. Master Spiller left, satisfied.
The next meeting was the beginning of trouble for Lin.
