Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Academy Gate
Finally came to Elite Academy, finally.

The gate of the Academy has no leaves, only doorposts. The entrance is between two sturdy giant trees that would take thirty people to embrace, at least that's what the slanted sign said.

I thought I would see contiguous buildings, solemn, sturdy and towering, but the actual scene is quite different. It looks like an exhibition hall of huge trees. Looking around, more than 30 huge monsters occupy the entire campus scattered, and their canopies are connected to completely block the rays of light of the sun. With spiral steps around the tree trunks, suspension bridges and ferry ropes connecting the branches, some rope ladders and slides for shortcuts, it looks more like a juggler's playground than an academy.

Each tree exudes a strong wood element atmosphere, and the roots buried in the ground hold the soil tightly, absorb, and at the same time suppress the Earth Element environment, which makes all Earth Element pro and physique's Jiangu clansman feel sick. In the Academy, several artificially excavated small rivers circled among the giant trees. You can see the students rafting on it, and you can also see the students jumping nimbly to and from the two banks. Those who do not have this ability have to use a few sporadic arch bridges.

The river water contains abundant Water Element energy, which is formed by the Water Element spar placed at the bottom of the river. Dagon sniffed, and immediately recalled the scene where he kept struggling and sinking after falling into the glacier, and couldn't help shivering. If the absence of Earth Element makes Jiangu clansman uncomfortable, then the abundant Water Element environment equals pain.

Dagon scratched the back of his neck, trying to forget the discomfort his surroundings caused him. It is obviously not suitable for Jiangu clansman to live here, and it can even be said that it is targeted everywhere. But considering this place as a battlefield, the enemy will definitely not make oneself feel good, so it seems reasonable to think about it.

Dagon walked forward one step at a time, carrying a duffel bag and a hunting axe. When he came to the road sign between the two gatepost trees, the road sign suddenly spoke.

"This is the elite Academy, only teachers, students and staff can enter and exit. Who are you?"

Dagon looked carefully and found that this street sign was also a living tree, but it was Limited to the size of saplings only. It only has one branch and seven leaves. If it is placed in nature, it cannot survive, but in this environment with abundant elemental power, it not only lives well, but also acquires the ability to speak and the corresponding intelligence.

"I'm Dagon · Olison · Neil, a new student from Jiangu City." Dagon said to the house number activation tree: "Where should I report?"

"Here is Elite Academy, only teachers, students and staff can enter and exit. Who are you?"

Dagon laughed, this is the only thing this living tree can say. It's intimidating, but also interesting. He stopped and thought seriously, how did the tree speak? Does it have a windpipe? Do you have vocal cords and tongue? Is there a mouth that can change shape? How did the sound vibrate?
No one was begging him to enroll anyway, and Dagon himself was not in a hurry, so he put down his luggage and began to observe the living door number. With a finger poke, this little sapling can dodge and block with the street sign in his hand, but its martial skill action is obviously not comparable to Dagon. By attacking from different directions, Dagon found the eyes of the revitalized sapling and its field of vision, and then found its vocal organs around it.

"I'm Dagon Olison Neil..." Every time he said this to the street sign, the street sign would repeat its words. Dagon blocked the sapling's counterattack with one hand, and pinched the other hand near its vocal organ, carefully feeling how the sound vibrated.

"Hehe, there really is an internal vibration, it's not exactly spell incantation." Dagon exerted a little force with his fingers, and at the same time extended his earth's hearing, his perception penetrated the bark and penetrated into its interior. He stimulated the sapling to speak again and again, and basically figured out the structure of the inside of the activated tree - at least the vocal part.

After repeating the same dialogue about a hundred times, Sapling finally said something different. It was an angry Elvish word, a little slurred because it was spoken too fast. "Are you sick? Wasting time here? Come in and report quickly!"

"Hey, so there are other spells below. Elite Academy really is very difficult to deal with, even on a street sign that activates saplings. I invested so much inincantation. didn't expect didn't expect, it turns out that the sapling also has the function of communication and dialogue. But where is the person on the other side? He began to dig the soil under the feet of the activated sapling with his fingers. This time the sapling trembled violently, and the only branch with leaves hung down and leaned against Dagon's arm and hugged tightly, as if begging for mercy. Seeing it so frightened, Dagon didn't continue. He stuffed back the soil he had dug out, then withdrew his hand and asked the sapling, "Where should I report to?"

"Go to the Principal's room, and after entering the door, look for a big tree with red and green steps. Climb up, it's on the three-layer canopy."

"How is the three-layer canopy calculated?" Dagon asked: "A platform counts as one layer? Is the ground the first layer or the zeroth layer?"

"Why do you dwarf have so many problems?" The person opposite the sapling was obviously very angry.

"Because I don't know." Dagon answered confidently.

There is no voice on the other side, and I guess I feel that my problem is too mentally handicapped. Dagon shook the sapling as a farewell, picked up his luggage and continued to walk inside the school. After he left, the activated sapling hugged the street sign tightly, his body trembling in the windless environment.

After entering the Academy, the elemental environment generated by the terrain made Dagon feel more uncomfortable, a bit like a lack of oxygen. He stopped specifically, adjusted his breathing, and thought about it carefully. First of all, it is not a high altitude or deep pit environment. The air is very suitable for breathing and should not be suffocated. Then Jiangu clansman is not an elemental creature, and can fight the whole battle even in an environment completely cut off from elemental forces. It's time to eat and eat, why do you feel suffocated when you get here, obviously it's not normal.

No matter how rich the Water Element's energy is, it is not more dangerous when it falls into the glacier, right? When Dagon saw the Academy, he quickly thought of Shiluoai, and thought of a probability: will he be affected by some emotional effect? Some spell effect amplifies Jiangu clansman's sense of incompatibility with the current environment, thereby mobilizing and enhancing fear, and then feeding back to the body to produce a suffocating effect?
Dagon shakes his head, inhales with his nostrils wide open, then blows his beard with a forceful exhale. He maximizes the expansion of his lungs and uses his body to constantly confirm that the environment here is suitable for survival, thereby suppressing and eliminating the discomfort. 'The air here is fresh, the life force is strong, and Jiangu clansman will be stronger. ' In his heart, he kept telling himself this.

The uncomfortable feeling quickly subsided, a sense of normalcy brought a sense of normalcy, and Dagon soon felt much better. He looked around again. The trees were shady, the water was flowing, and the elves were swinging on the vines like monkeys. It's pretty good here. Why didn't you like it before?

After changing the initial point of view, Academy can no longer instill negative emotions in Dagon, and his activities are much easier. He spiraled up the steps on the giant tree trunk. Although the ground was getting farther and farther away from him, he felt that this place was very much like his hometown. In Jiangu City, there are many such steps on the other side of the mine, with a stone wall on one side and a bottomless excavation pit on the other side. Looking at the elite Academy, the stone wall is replaced by bark, and the height difference here is far less than the deep pits of the Jiangu tribe, but the sun is blocked by the canopy here, which has several points of similarity.

The giant trees here have been transformed by spell, it is difficult to see their previous varieties, and they basically do not follow the structural characteristics of ordinary trees. They all have a multi-layered canopy, forming a multi-layered structure like a house. The branches that grow horizontally have structural strength that trees do not need at all, all of which are to support the needs of elves' activities. Large and small classrooms are scattered in the form of bird's nests on these tree trunks that grow horizontally.

Most branch of sect rooms are open, and the walls are nothing but a fence made of branches, and you can see the teaching activities inside with a little toes. The branch of sect is closed and looks like a thatched hut in a human village, or a simple hut built with logs or planks in a Mu Village.

From Jiangu clansman's point of view, the houses are so flimsy that a headhunter can take them all down with just a few strokes. Dagon scratched his beard, feeling a little incomprehensible. If that's the level of the elf's best Academy, he'll be disappointed.

With this question in mind, Dagon continued to climb up to the Third Layer, and finally saw a relatively standard building. Vajra wood, which is gray in color, has the same hardness as steel, and can still float on water. It can be crafted by the Metal Element spell and used as a material in elves' weapons and armor, but the most important use is construction. The elite Academy's Principal room is constructed of Vajra wood, which clings to the tree trunk and occupies this level of platform alone.

There are four main elements in the architectural style of elves: tall and vertical from trees, twisted and twisted from vines, cascading and complicated from leaves, and gorgeous and bright from flowers. The Principal room in front of you is like a fat bamboo shoot, with a wide bottom and a pointed top. The walls are made of Vajra wood to form a shape that gathers in layers to the center and gathers upwards. The round and semi-circular doors and windows are decorated with vines and flowers. .

The elves don't like the glass made from sand, and they use spell to thin the Vajra wood to the point of being nearly transparent to illuminate the interior of the building. Apart from this, there are many glowing balloons floating around the Principal's office. They don't have a rope and won't float away, emitting a bright color like the moon.

Walking to the door, the door will open automatically, facing a hall with a symmetrical double arc staircase and a second layer platform. The portrait of the most important Spiritual God in the elven faith, Ace Ain, is up ahead, under the protection of the double arc staircase. It is depicted as a neutral elf with an all-elemental aura behind him, with piercing eyes that follow the observer. Anyone approaching its portrait to observe, the image disappears, the portrait becomes a mirror, and the observer can only see himself.

Ace Ain observes Dagon from the portrait as he enters the hall, and Dagon observes the desk at the side of the hall. The Principal will definitely not work at the door, and the hall in front of him is used for reception. There is a sofa and a tea table on one side, and a half-elf staff member on the other. She was about fifty years old, with a serious expression, her white hair pulled back, every strand of it neat and smooth. She gestured to Dagon beckons with the hand, motioning him to sit on the chair in front of her, then put on her glasses, opened the register beside her and began to record on it.

"On October 3, 4989, Long Crown Calendar, at 10:23 am, a dwarf came to the Principal's room. He was dressed in a grey cloak, in steel armor, and had a spray of Fire Dragon on his chest. The emblem of his head. Since he was carrying a long-handled tomahawk and carrying a large bag of luggage behind him, it was preliminarily judged that he might be a student who came to report. Special record: his beard ring may be made of pure gold, which is very popular in dwarven society. It's a privilege."

Dagon tilted his head to see her writing, so he sat down and said, "The gold beard ring is exclusive to the Neal family. My name is Dagon Olison Neal. Er, come and report."

"Shhh!" The half-elf clerk put her index finger on her lips vigorously, hissing loudly for Dagon to shut up. She continued writing, completing a three-hundred-word character description, and then lifted the head to look at Dagon. "Name."

"Dagon Olison Neil." Dagon said, "I'm from Jiangu City."

"Where?"

Dagon stroked his beard and said, "Guess what?"

"Where did it come from?"

"I think you'd better get a different elf. Otherwise, I'll still be young if you die. ." Dagon said with a smile, "I wonder what Toby would say if he was here...well, yes, it's probably like this: when you go to ask someone for help, don't forget to say you can't handle the outside world. That dwarf needs the elf to wipe your ass."

"I can deduct your credits."

"I can't deduct your credits, but I can do far more More than that." Dagon got up, picked up the first hunting axe, and began to look at the first floor hall. There is no other room here, so he directly looked towards the second floor with the axe.

"You can't go up!" the half-elf shouted from behind, but the voice couldn't hold Dagon, and she didn't dare to actually reach for the weapon-wielding dwarf. Sometimes the dwarves are stubborn and stubborn, and it is hard to say at this moment, whether stubborn or stubborn dominates.

Walking on the second layer platform, the roads on both sides penetrate into the trunk of the giant tree, forming a "8"-shaped structure together with the previous circular staircase. At the top of the "8" is the Principal's room, and the sign on the door is clearly written. Dagon opened the door, and inside the room there were actually sun shone brightly, Birds, Speech, Flowers, Fragrances. A female elf was using her fingers to control a water balloon suspended in the air, and evenly poured water into the dozens of flowerpots placed in the room.

She turned her head, looked towards Dagon with a smile, and narrowed her eyes slightly. Dagon was stunned for a moment, then frowned looked up and down carefully, and then asked, "You look a lot like Shiroai Asneriel."

The female elf waved her hand away, driving the water polo away, and then Says: "You're saying the opposite. She looks like me, she's my niece."

"You're the Principal?"

"I am this week," said the elf : "Since you mentioned Shiroai, are you the dwarf who killed the four-headed Chimera?"
