Chapter 737: Influence (Part 1)
Downsley, in Rock Town. He assumed the identity of a guest, and when he arrived, the appearance of the Giant Eagle Academy had completely changed.
Inside the wooden fence, there are patches of vegetable fields and wheat fields everywhere, the scale is not large, and it looks a bit messy.
On the other side of the path, there were various plants. At this time, after a few spring rains, the gurgling stream around the college became more and more turbulent and beautiful.
At this time, there is no trace of chill, light green branches and leaves, little flowers blooming.
A specially accompanied instructor was a sixth-level druid, and he pointedly said: "Mr. Sili, this is the private land of our college. Every student can apply for a piece and plant it with him to increase practical experience."
Siri nodded, he could feel that there was still order in these chaotic small fields.
"What about these?" He was talking about the flowers and trees on the side of the path.
"These are permanent plants. Since they are planted here, they must be taken care of. Of course, the instructor can make some deletions and additions according to the situation."
Siri nodded and walked forward.
"This is the restaurant of our college. It is divided into upper and lower floors. Below is the set meal. The set meal system is implemented in the college. Each set is exactly the same and changes every three days. Alcohol is not provided. One set is free, and at least two sets need to be purchased. Free people include students, instructors, and guests." The instructor said: "If you feel crude, you can go to the second floor to order and buy food yourself. The college is not responsible for paying the bill, and this is no exception for the principal. The baron who came to watch last time, It has to be like this."
Sri Lanka felt a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't make a sound.
"You see, this is the sent students. According to the principal's order, all those who enter the academy are equal. They are not allowed to have servants, bodyguards, housekeepers and other followers. The grades and classes are used to determine the seniority."
"Some students can't take care of themselves?"
"Druids who can't even take care of themselves, our academy doesn't want them." The instructor said contemptuously.
"What about the safety of the students?"
"There is a cavalry stationed in Panshi Town. There is also the Temple of the God of War, ready to respond at any time. The instructors are all druids above level five, with magical powers, and the academy is constantly strengthening its defenses. You are an eighth level druid Yi, you can feel it!"
"Well, there is an early warning spell, but what if?"
"There was bloodshed in the Academy,
The college will investigate to the end. Of course, there is an agreement for students to enroll, that is, those who feel unsafe can not come. To be honest, our college does not intend to accept a large number of students, even though students from far away are not rejected. The instructor said, paused, and said: "In the end, this is just an academy where the headmaster trains druids in the territory." "
Siri listened. Frowning, the sun cast on his robe, and on the fine velvet robe, the three golden threads looked golden under the light.
At this moment, they turned to a building, and some kind of magical wave was faintly conveyed.
"what is this?"
"Oh, what is this?"
"Oh, this is the big natural sand table built by the principal. Now it's time to update it again. Probably the first batch of students are there now."
Si Li's brows instantly relaxed, he rubbed his hands together, and hurriedly asked: "Then can I go and watch?"
"Of course, there's not much to hide from this." The instructor smiled slightly, said, and led him forward.
When we arrived at a hall, which was very large in size, as soon as we entered, a trace of surprise flashed in Si Li's calm eyes.
This is a sand table of more than ten meters, with hills, plains, and forests on it. Of course, the forest is a kind of grass to camouflage.
Covering the sand table is a magic hood.
"...Everyone, everyone saw it a week ago. If this forest is destroyed, what will be the impact? Who would like to talk about it and summarize it." An instructor said.
At this time, several students raised their hands.
"Meggie, okay, come up and talk about it." The instructor clicked on one person.
"Meggie, a first-level druid, is highly regarded by the headmaster." The instructor who led her said in a low voice.
Siri nodded and listened attentively.
"... Last week we cleared this forest and planted food. After a week of climate change, it is said that it is equivalent to about ten years in the real world. We clearly saw that the fertile land, because there is no forest to store water and soil, is fertile. The soil has turned into sand, and now the wind and sand are blowing..."
"...The fertility of the land is declining, and the grain production has been reduced by about half. This simple example can prove that even if the meaning of nature is deducted from the forest, from the human point of view, once it is removed, it will bring destruction to the environment. blow..."
"...Druids from any angle. Maintaining the forest is equivalent to maintaining the world we live in." Meggie concluded in conclusion.
Si Li was moved by this, he took a step forward and looked at the sand table, and sure enough, in the tiny world, a piece of land was blown into sand.
"Who else is going to talk?"
"I come."
"Okay, Cassirer, tell me more."
"Yes, instructor, I think Junior Meggie. I have already said quite well. The operation of the sand table is under everyone's supervision at all times. No one has exerted influence. The results obtained are still quite close to reality."
"If we believe these conclusions, we can talk about deserts."
"On our continent, one-fifth is desert. As we all know, deserts are generally desolate and lifeless. Most of them are beaches or sand dunes. Rocks often appear under the sand. The soil is very thin and there are few plants. Some deserts are salt flats. There is no vegetation at all, but if we follow up, we will find that there are very few natural deserts, and they are all man-made."
"There are many reasons for deserts. The key factors for the formation of deserts are arid climate and sparse vegetation. There are some climatic reasons, there is no way, and rainfall is scarce."
"However, we are now mainly exploring human-made causes."
"First of all, it is unreasonable land reclamation. Due to the lack of rainfall and relatively single plants in the originally arid climate, the land is often desertified once it is reclaimed."
"Secondly, there is overgrazing. There are too many livestock, and the supply of grassland grass production is insufficient. Many high-quality grass species are eaten before they grow or mature. Some livestock are good at peeling off the bark of sandy shrubs and digging grass roots. Coupled with trampling, the amount of grass produced in the grassland is getting less and less, forming desertified land and creating a vicious circle."
"Of course. The most important thing is to cut down trees." Cassirer looked around.
Having said that, a student raised his hand.
"Junior Pei Xingsuo, you must have an opinion, please tell me." Cassirer is two silver lines, representing a second-level druid, and the other party is a fourth-level druid.
"I have only been enrolled for less than a month. I shouldn't be here to express my opinions, but this natural sand table presided over by the principal shocked me deeply. It really is the archdruid, and his vision and angle are completely different."
"However, in the specific speech just now, I pointed out that unreasonable land reclamation, overgrazing, and felling of trees are all important reasons for desertification, but they are not the main reason. The main reason is large-scale war." Pei Xingso said.
At this point, everyone changed color slightly. This large-scale war is still blurred. It should be said that it was God's punishment. God interfered in the world, resulting in a large number of deserts.
"Student Peixingsuo, you are right. Then next week, we will plant the desert land and see if the power of the plants can restore the desert climate."
"If it can be redeemed, how can it be used in practice?" Jayfa said at this time, and he shifted the issue of divine punishment.
Upon hearing this, Si Li was already moved, and was taken aback [for a moment, he asked: "Who proposed this idea?"
"It was the principal who proposed to invest a lot of money to build a natural hall. In this hall, the power is always maintained so that the sand table can evolve."
"But in the specific process, the instructor and the students are deduced and learned together." The accompanying instructor said, his tone was full of complacency.
"...I want to apply to officially join the Giant Eagle Academy and become an instructor. What procedures do I have to go through?" Si Li thought for a while, then said.
"Welcome, you are an eighth-level druid. As long as you go to the town headquarters and apply, you can become a trainee instructor. After three months of familiarization, you will officially become an instructor."
"Then let's do it like this!" Si Li said without the slightest hesitation.
After this experiment was completed, it was about eleven o'clock in the morning. No matter how impatient Si Li was, he didn't go until he had finished his Chinese food. He didn't go up to the second floor, but ordered a set meal.
Bread, cheese, water, sliced meat, simple and Chinese food.
Students came up from time to time, they were discussing excitedly while eating, and some of them kept taking notes.
"They will record each course and feel the truth of nature. The students of our college first understand the balance of the overall nature in the first year. In the second year, they develop in different directions according to the path they choose. In the third year It will be sent to various places for internship." The instructor said: "Of course, the current procedure is still quite imperfect, but I believe that after some years, it will be perfected."
"I believe." Si Li said calmly, finishing his Chinese meal.
When we got outside, several cars rolled into the campus with a series of creaking sounds, bringing various daily necessities.
Although it was April, due to the speed of the carriage, the driver still put on his thick coat tightly. He flicked his whip and shouted in a low voice, and the whip spread in the air with a crisp sound.
"Mr. Seeley, if you are going to the town now, you will only have these cars. If you wait a little longer, there will be a special carriage to pick you up every three days."
"No, I want to rush to Rock Town today and come back in the evening." As Li said, he got into the carriage that had already been unloaded without hesitation.
Half an hour later, following the heavy steps of the horses, the carriage left the school with that familiar chugging sound, and quickly disappeared into the path of the forest road. (!)
