Lux's Farewell

Chapter 622 Extra Story · Fucheng's Past · Graduates
Grabbing the knocker, Pend Parsent slowly closed the classroom door, just like what he had done every day after school for the past five years.

But the difference is that in the past, the creaking sound of the ancient door hinges filled him with anticipation, looking forward to the activities and dinner after school, but today, Pender only sees reluctance in his eyes.

Because, he graduated.

At the insistence of Earl Laxanna, Fossbarrow's school-age students have to receive six years of compulsory education from the age of ten. Although Pendor is a transfer student from Mihril City, he was almost 12 years old when he entered school. He is old, but he still lived in this castle that once belonged to a noble lord and was later transformed into a school for five full years.

Before entering school, Pan De used to rely on his fairly strong body to work as a coolie on the pier of Mihril City, and he can be regarded as a person who has mixed in the society-so, compared to the eagerness of his classmates to graduate, Pan De actually To be more melancholy.

I'm leaving.

"Hurry up, my squad leader!" Just when Pan De was still thinking about something, the students behind him couldn't wait, "Don't worry about the gate, if it rings again, it's our dear students who want to Something to think about!"

Hearing this, Pan De could only shake his head helplessly, then yanked the door knocker hard, closing the door completely, turned around and ran towards the school gate together with his classmates.

Today is the graduation banquet organized by the students themselves. Considering that the students are about to go to all walks of life, this gathering is likely to be the last time for all of them to gather together.

The venue for the banquet was a Fossbarrow official high-end hotel located in the center of Fossbarrow City. This hotel was previously cleaned out by Fossbarrow to receive Ionian elders and monks.

The building of this hotel used to be a part of an aristocratic manor. Today, almost all the aristocratic manors in Forsbarrow in the past have been cleared out and transformed into various livelihood facilities, some of which are used as the manor just like this manor. Some of the high-end reception places have become large markets or concert halls.

Most of the renovation facilities are free or low-cost admission, but because this high-end hotel has relatively high specifications, and it undertakes the accommodation and reception tasks of foreign businessmen, the price of renting the venue is a bit expensive.

Fortunately, students can get a discount, and the price in the off-season is not high, and the time to rent the venue is still in the evening. In the end, everyone pooled their money together and successfully set the address for the graduation banquet here.

When Pender arrived here with his classmates, the venue for the banquet had already been set up. Forsbarrow, which was about to enter winter, had no flowers, and the students couldn't afford the expensive Ionian incense, but in the afternoon When Pan De cleaned up the classroom, some students had already rushed to the side of the artificial lake in a public cart and picked a lot of pine needles and pine cones from Longji larch.

Put these aromatic oil-rich materials into the fireplace to ignite. Although the taste is not as elegant as incense and not as strong as flowers, it is more or less an atmosphere.

The dishes of the graduation banquet are not rich, just the most low-level banquet set menu - that is, bread, barbecue, fried fish and sauces, and a pitiful amount of vegetables.

But for these students, this is already quite a delicious feast. Although the vast majority of Fossbarrow people can already eat enough, they are only full. Under the organization of Lacus, the northern border Most of the trade and Ionian trade have been invested in reproduction and industrial expansion, and the Fossbarrows don't actually have much money in their hands.

Although there is a market in Forsbarrow and there is no rationing, many things cannot be bought here (such as expensive jewelry), and some things are available in the market, but most of the Forsbarrow People can't afford it (for example, high-grade Ionian incense whose price is similar to that of gold).

Moreover, just like Fossbarrow's saffron and hazelnut can be sold at a high price in Vazuan, when the spices from other places are shipped to Fossbarrow, the price will be ridiculously expensive, so these dishes on the table are of great value to these people. For students, it can be said to be a rare delicacy.

Maybe it's because the taste of the herbs is really good, maybe it's because everyone has been busy working on this dinner all afternoon, and they are all hungry. Seven or eight-year-old boys were at their most edible, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, the dishes on the long banquet table were emptied one after another like a whirlwind.

After a quarter of an hour, the girls' eating speed began to slow down, and chatter gradually appeared around the long table.

They covered their mouths, lowered their heads, and whispered whispers. From time to time, they looked up at a young man who was competing with the grilled meat or fried fish on the plate, and there was a glint of expectation in his eyes occasionally.

Fossbarrow's school does not prohibit love, but considering that academic performance will directly affect whether a student can become a clerk or a walker in the north, parents and teachers often have a double-standard and subtle attitude towards love.

However, now that everyone is a graduate, they are all considered adults, and some young and depressed emotions are looking for their own outlet at this time.

It's a pity that most of the boys present haven't realized this. Compared with the desire of the stomach, the throbbing of hormones is the same thing-some things will only be taken into consideration by them after eating and drinking.

Finally, even a big eater like Pan De slowed down his eating speed. Around the long table, many people began to take their places frequently. Although many people hadn't clearly realized the meaning of parting, they I still instinctively hope to seize this opportunity and have a chat with my classmates, even if it is an awkward chat.

Even Pan De was affected by this warm atmosphere, sandwiched a large piece of fried cod between two slices of bread, and chatted with a few classmates who had a good relationship with him about their future plans.

Then, the topic was chatting and chatting, and it came to Pan De.

"Speaking of which, Pan De, why didn't you join the Northwalker?" Someone asked curiously, "With such a strong body, you must be a good hand to join the army-could you be discouraged and not participate in the reserve assessment?"

Hearing this question, Pan De paused for a moment.

"Participated, but failed." Reluctantly putting down the sandwich in his hand, Pender couldn't help snorting, "They say I... have color weakness? What the hell, I can clearly distinguish colors!"

"Really?" The other party seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, "Tell me, what color is my robe today?"

"Blue, blue!" Pender picked up the sweet sauce on the table, and squeezed it hard on his own bread, "I can tell the difference clearly, but when I look at red, it's a little... not so clear!"

"Then you were kicked out of the reserve queue?"

"What does that matter?" Pan De couldn't help raising his voice, "I've already passed the clerk assessment! My buddy doesn't just have a strong body. When it comes to grades, I'm also better than you scum!"

"Besides being a clerk, there is nothing to look at the results." Hearing that Pan De passed the clerk assessment, the other party's tone finally became a little sour, "At least you don't need to go home to pick up the old man's shift or go to work in fur processing." score."

"Pande, have you passed the clerk's assessment?" Just as Pender curled his lips and stuffed the bread into his mouth, a girl next to him came over with some surprise, "In this case, maybe we will be colleagues in the future !"

"You also chose the position in Xinfu City?" Pan De chewed hurriedly, and then swallowed all the food in his mouth, "That's great!"

"...You chose the position in Xinfu City?" Now it was Pan De's classmate's turn to be surprised, "There is nothing over there, why did you go there?"

"Because during the interview, the interviewer said there was a shortage of manpower." Pan De shrugged, "I'm alone, it doesn't matter where I go, and Xinfucheng also provides single-person dormitories, so I chose that place."

"This……"

The girl looked at Pan De with an indifferent face, her heart was full of helplessness—it was too late to give up at this time, and it was foreseeable that Pan De would work in Xinfu City for at least the next few years. If she wanted to see him again, I'm afraid I have to take a public bus, and it has been bumpy for several hours...

Expectations turned into melancholy, so she didn't know what to say for a while.

Then, when she managed to pluck up her energy, she asked Pan De if he would like to come to Forsbarrow's theater to watch a performance during the holidays, but the result was "Xin Fucheng also has a theater, and I heard there are new plays, Forsbarrow I'm tired of watching Luo's old dramas." This kind of heartless response.

Fortunately, she was already familiar with Pan De's temperament. After hearing this answer, she took advantage of the situation and proposed to visit Xinfucheng when she had time. Finally, she got a response from Pan De. Everything, absolutely no problem.

........................

Young people are always full of expectations for the future, especially those who have just graduated from school - they grew up in the ever-changing era of Forsbarrow, and everything they see is new.

As the third batch of students who graduated from Fossbarrow's compulsory education, the future of these teenagers is destined to be bright. Forsbarrow's astonishing talent gap makes them work as the leader of the processing team even if they just go to the fur processing factory. rise.

Although they have only studied for five or six years, they are still high-level talents in Fossbarrow. There is no rejection of magic at all, and even the profession of archon is the envy of most students, but only a very small number of people can join it.

Therefore, when these students graduate, in their hearts, the future is bright and promising.

Just a classmate boy.

After this farewell, they will embark on a completely different path, living a life that is completely different from their ancestors and each other in Fossbarrow, Sun Fook City, and Sun Fook Kong.

And for this point, they themselves don't have a very clear understanding—even for the concept of "farewell", their cognition is vague and emotional. It is clearly a parting banquet, but there is no slightest difference between the words. Sadness, as if in the future, as long as you want, you can always gather together, and then share everything about yourself just like today.

Until the night was getting dark, the students didn't know who started it, and the students began to hum the song "The Light of Debon" they had learned in school.

The plateau is green and the dragon's spine is vast

The ancestors went north to expand the land and open up the frontier
Build a city with rocks, dig a well to make a village

Blue wisps on the hard road, Siyou Debang

Chase away the darkness, seal the devil
Open rivers and canals, break ground and open up wasteland
blue ocher coloring, red blood cast steel

From scratch, Sicheng Debon

Thousands of miles of fertile soil, majestic pass and high wall

Smile to the rain and shine, disdain the wind and frost

Inner limit magic, outer guard against wolves

As immovable as a mountain, Sri Lanka is Debang

The light of the north, the law is well

Bringing waves to cross the border, opening ports and building ports
Agricultural Bank of China leads to its business
To seek folk music, revitalize Debang

The plateau is green and the dragon's spine is vast

The hardships of the ancestors, the ancestors bear

The afterglow is about to disperse, the road ahead is not yet clear

Boys of Today, Light of the North

The singing voice is not neat, but in this not very neat singing voice, there is an indescribable surging power - just like the lyrics.

The afterglow is about to disperse, and the road ahead is not yet clear.

Today's boy... the light of the north.
