blue whales under the stars

Chapter 54

After Mu Ye woke up, he found that a quilt was sleeping under him, and a quilt was covering his body.

He sat on the bed in a daze, and lifted the quilt on himself suspiciously.

Well?

Bai Cang happened to come over with a hot towel, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the sleepy-eyed look of the boy who had just woken up.He spread out the towel and put it in the palm of his hand, walked to the side of the bed and motioned for the other party: "Look up."

Mu Ye obediently raised his chin, and was wiped with moderate strength by the warm towel.

When Mr. Blue Whale took the towel back, the boy rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Good morning."

Bai Cang smiled and stretched out his hands to pinch his moist, soft cheeks.

"Good morning."

Yesterday's process went very well, and today's task is off to a good start.When he was having breakfast with Sandor, he asked about their late return last night. Mu Ye gave a brief account of his going back to the forest, and Sandor said: "When I went to see Kuke yesterday, she Tell me about this special traffic quota."

Mu Ye was interested: "He... um, what did she say?"

Sandor said: "It's because our home is far away from the Holy Silver Country. Ku Ke said that if you go back during non-holidays, you can apply for this. If there are tasks assigned by the college, you can also use the special quota."

Sandor's hometown is not in Tamar City, and it was only because he was in Tamar City at that time that he participated in the enrollment of St. Paul's College nearby-they had talked about this matter before.

Mu Ye asked: "Did Senior Sister Kuer talk about the application process?"

Sandor scratched his hair: "It doesn't seem to be... But Ku Ke said that if you need to apply, you can go to her, and she can help."

He is also very serious about Mu Ye: "Ku Ke has something to do this morning. I made an appointment with her in the afternoon. Let's go to her and ask?"

Even though Mu Ye didn't know much about this, he still felt that there was something wrong with disturbing the meeting of these two people.He shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary, we've already got the contact information from Professor Brett, so you and Senior Sister Kool can have fun this afternoon."

Sandor knew that the two were eager to go home, so he didn't say anything more. He patted Mu Ye on the shoulder: "When you two come back, I will take you to familiarize yourself with every part of the campus."

Mu Ye responded with a smile: "Okay!"

After breakfast, Mu Ye and Bai Cang waited for another half an hour. After confirming that it was time to work, Bai Cang crushed the round stone and got in touch with the staff in charge.When they arrived at the designated place, Mu Ye knew why Kur told Sandor that he could go to him if necessary—one of the responsible parties for the transportation department of the college is the Supervisory Committee.

Coincidentally, the person responsible for guiding the two through the application process happened to be Ke Youte who was on duty today.Although the application process is a bit cumbersome, the various audits are not difficult.With Ke Youte's patient explanation, Mu Ye and Bai Cang successfully obtained a special traffic quota in just one morning.

On the way to collect the traffic ticket from the confirmation slip given by the review teacher, Ke Youte naturally chatted with the two of them.After chatting about some innocuous issues, he asked about Sandel: "That junior, did you never know the gender of the leader?"

Mu Ye thought for a while, and didn't know how to say it better, and finally he said vaguely: "Before Sandor, it seemed that he was used to referring to Captain Kuhl as 'she' all the time."

This matter was obvious to all, so Ke Youte didn't ask any more questions.It seems strange to admit the wrong gender, but Kuhl has never reminded Sandor, and they have maintained the status quo, so it is naturally difficult for others to say.

It's just that the whole group of the Ou Xingtuan suffered a lot, seeing that the head of the group, who had always been so powerful, was treated as seriously as a girl, and the head didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all... This kind of contrast disappeared in a short period of time. It's really hard to accept.

Forget it, let's just be the regiment leader's way of relaxing during the recuperation period... that's it.

When he reached the designated place, Mu Ye understood the meaning of the ticket he had received.He held up the ticket in his hand. In addition to the necessary handwriting information, there was a pair of round wings drawn on the thin paper half the size of a palm. Mu Ye thought it represented a pattern or something meaningful before. mark.But in fact, the pair of wings corresponds to the third-order primordial beast resting in the bird's nest behind the glass barrier - Xinniao.

As the name suggests, Xinniaoshou can be used to transport goods, and it can also be used to fly people.As long as they are replenished with Yuanjing, they can fly non-stop for seven days, and have enough IQ to understand the route and destination.

Mu Ye blinked his eyes in disbelief, held up the piece of paper to compare it carefully, and then confirmed that the letter bird really had a pair of round wings - the pattern drawn on the paper was definitely not a reference or a simplification. , The letter bird is huge in size and can carry up to three people at the same time, but their wings seem to be drawn out from the arc of the pattern on the piece of paper. They are very round and cute, which contrasts with the tall and durable image.

Ke Youte reminded: "For every [-] miles of continuous flight, Xinniao needs a same-level Yuanjing. For more than [-] miles, the number of Yuanjing required is doubled. Do you have enough third-order Yuanjing?"

The elemental energy contained in different grades of Yuanjing varies greatly, and a third-order Yuanjing is considered a huge sum of money for most students in St. Paul's College.Although the tall student ticked time priority when choosing the transportation method, the price issue must be made clear in advance.

Hearing this, Mu Ye rummaged in the starman. There are not a few students in St. Paul's College who have storage tools, so he doesn't have to worry about looking different.But even after looking for those light spheres, Mu Ye still didn't know the number of Yuan Jing - he hadn't learned how to distinguish the grade of Yuan Jing.

Finally, Bai Cang said, "Yes, thank you senior."

Ke Youte looked at him, and then said no more, just said: "Receipts are received, when you are approved to leave school, just bring the certificates and tickets, and then you can leave directly by letter bird."

Pointing to the corner of the seat exposed on the back of Xinniao, Ke Youte explained: "At that time, a beast tamer will come to help you sit on it. There are protective restraints and seats on it to ensure safety. Xinniao can land once every half a day. But not every time you can find a suitable landing place, you'd better prepare some maps and food in advance."

"Is one of you two a beast tamer?" Ke Youte remembered something and asked again.

Bai Cang said, "It's me."

Ke You nodded: "Then the journey should be a little smoother. Xinniao is a kind of metamorphic beast with a docile temperament and a medium IQ. Generally speaking, this kind of metamorphic beast will have a higher affection for the tamer. Don't be nervous, there is With the help of Xinniao, the time you spend going back and forth should be greatly reduced."

"...Thank you senior." Bai Cang, who answered half a beat late, suddenly thought of another kind of Yuan beast with a docile temperament and not too high IQ.

...Will the letter bird be the same as the real Dilly?

Bai Cang already had a faint premonition about this question.The lower the level, the weaker the energy of the animal and Yuan beast, the higher the closeness to the animal trainer.Those high-level primordial beasts have evolved their own minds, and their hostility and resistance to humans will also increase a lot accordingly.Moreover, Mu Ye, who had not yet resumed his contract with Bai Cang, was still subject to certain restrictions on his power. After he domesticated Bai Cang again, his ability continued to recover, and his own affinity slowly broke through the barrier.

So in the days to come, Mu Ye's attraction to Yuan Beast will only become stronger and stronger.

As a primordial beast that was also attracted because of its "low level" and "weak energy", Bai Cang is very able to understand those animals that can't help but get close to Mu Ye.

But understanding does not mean agreeing.His deep eyes fell on Xinniao behind the barrier, and Xinniao, who was watched by a hidden high-level beast, couldn't help but turned back and pecked at the feathers on his wings.

"..."

The boy next to him was staring curiously at the big bird nearby, while Bai Cang looked away expressionlessly.

Those who should be intimidated should still be intimidated.

Afterwards, things went very smoothly. It took half a day to submit various forms. On the second day of the freshman holiday, Mu Ye and Bai Cang saw Xinniao again with their packed luggage.

Before leaving, Sandor came to see him off, and Kur also followed.When Mu Ye was talking with Sandor, he was surprised to find that the conversation between the two people next to him was quite speculative.The four parted at the entrance of the traffic department of the college, and when they took the tickets and followed the staff to the animal breeding area, Mu Ye couldn't help asking: "When we come back...can Sandor find out the gender of Kurt?"

After talking with Ku Er, Bai Cang was a little absent-minded, and he came back to his senses after hearing Mu Ye's words: "Maybe?"

Bai Cang always felt that the aura on Kuer was a bit strange, but it was somewhat similar to the feeling Sandel gave him.But Bai Cang couldn't think of the reason for this strange feeling for a while.Maybe when he got back, he could talk to Kuhl alone.

But this kind of conversation had better happen after Sandor knew the truth—otherwise, Bai Cang would have to avoid suspicion when facing a "opposite sex".

After handing over the bills and certificates to the relevant personnel, the two entered the letter bird's perch with the help of the teacher.The transportation department of the college has trained a total of [-] letter birds, and now only three remain in the college.The teacher who led the way unlocked the isolation area, and led the two of them to a snow-white letter bird with a pair of paws as tall as a man.

The leading teacher is an animal trainer. He first stepped forward and patted the feathers on the wings of the letter bird. The letter bird quickly lowered its head, bent its long neck and looked at him with the same round eyes. The teacher again Stretching out his arm, Xinniao turned his head and rubbed against the person's arms.

Bai Cang watched coldly from the side. He could conclude that the letter bird's original movement was to rub against the teacher's hand, but the letter bird was too big and he didn't have enough control over his movements, so he just rubbed into the teacher's arms to go.

But Bai Cang's eyes are full of picks, but he can't stop the boy beside him from looking at the big stupid white bird with curious and expectant eyes.

Moreover, what Bai Cang was worried about before also appeared satisfactorily.After sensing Mu Ye's sight and breath, the letter bird quickly raised its head from the teacher's arms, stretched its white and soft head in front of Mu Ye, and looked at him intently with its innocent round eyes.

"..."

Bai Cang took a step forward calmly, and very naturally blocked Mu Ye behind him.

Seeing this, the teacher smiled and said, "Are you a beast tamer?"

Mu Ye's aura had been hidden by Xingman, so the teacher who was also a beast tamer didn't realize his identity.But the attribute of affinity can't be hidden from Yuan Beast, so the teacher understands when he sees Xinniao's reaction.

The "Beast Tamer" who also changed his aura with the help of Starman did not change his expression, and agreed very simply: "Yes, teacher."

Once you have the identity of a beast tamer, you will be able to handle all kinds of matters related to the beast very smoothly.With the help of the teacher, the two quickly climbed onto the back of the obediently lying bird.During the period, Bai Cang also warned the big bird twice in a low voice in the lingua franca of birds, interrupting his attempt to turn his neck 180 degrees to look back at Mu Ye.

Bai Cang, who is proficient in most metabeast languages ​​because he lived too long, said that he prefers to use oral language to instruct the metabeasts to cooperate with him to complete the test in the beast tamer test at St. Paul's College.Even if the other party may be disobedient and needs to be beaten up by himself, it is much better than threatening the Yuan beast not to get too close to Mu Ye every time.

The flight of the letter bird is very stable, even in the take-off stage, it will not produce too violent shaking.The figure of the teacher waving goodbye on the land gradually turned into black dots. Mu Ye tightly grasped the handrail in front of him, feeling a little nervous about the first high-altitude flight.

But not long after, Mr. Blue Whale stretched out his hand and opened the protective restrictions on both sides of the seat. The sound of the wind passing by was blocked from the protection, and even the increasingly violent airflow could no longer affect the two of them. .The space on the back of the letter bird is spacious enough, in addition to the sitting position, it is more than enough for two people to lie down.

Because of the obstruction of the bird's back and wings, Mu Ye couldn't see the gradually shrinking scenery under his feet. He looked up and saw the golden sun hanging in the sky, dazzling and warm.

And beside him are people who accompanied him on the trek all the way from the distant sea and wanted to go home with him.

——whale——whale——whale——

After Mu Ye left, Sandor's vacation became a little more simple.

The bedmate Fu Rui is a somewhat introverted boy. On the first day of the holiday, he went out and came back according to the time of three meals a day, as standard as if someone was counting a stopwatch.In the dormitory, he spent most of his time reading and writing letters. Sandor went to dinner with him twice, but because their time was not very synchronized, they never went together again.However, in terms of getting along in the dormitory, the relationship between the two is quite harmonious.

Apart from roommates, Sandor didn't know many people in Tamar City, and he didn't have much contact with freshmen.And because of the reunion with Kool, Sandor spends more time with everyone in the Ouxingtuan these days than he spends with other freshmen.

As the leader of the regiment, Kuhl is very busy every day.In addition, the senior students did not have a freshman holiday, and Kull himself was injured again, and Sandor did not want to cause trouble to others. After visiting the campus with Kull, Sandor politely declined the invitation of other members of the European tour group. He goes to the library every morning and the elemental students' training area in the afternoon, and his holiday life has gradually become more regular.

A few days after the other freshmen were fresh, many of them went to play in a safe forest area outside the campus. Sandel was not an unsocial person, but he was not very interested in such things, and he was not there when the other party came to the dormitory to invite people. , They did not follow those freshmen.Later, it seemed that some freshmen violated the regulations in the safe area, and all freshmen were ordered not to leave the campus, and Sandor just happened not to get into trouble this time.

It was still Professor Brett who came to give notice to the new students. Compared with the previous test, his figure looked thinner, but his usual serious expression remained the same.It's just that the tall man who had been by Professor Brett's side all the time never showed up this time.

Sandor heard from Senior Koyote of the Ouxing Group that the man with Professor Brett was Koyote's teacher Pawerfer.Professor Pawerf is a warrior, and he has a good relationship with Professor Brett, because neither of them has a relationship as a contractor, and they have always been inseparable.

Sandor has also heard about the concept of contractors. Within the mainland, magicians, warriors, and beast trainers would prefer the relationship of "contractors" to the "husband and wife" defined by ordinary people without the ability to practice.Beast tamers generally would not intermarry with outsiders. After excluding them, any two trainees within the magician, within the warrior, and between the magician and the warrior, could form a contractual relationship.In a lifespan longer than that of ordinary people, the contractors will support each other and share opportunities, and the threshold for forming a contract is much higher than that of ordinary people's couples.

Although the mainland does not have too much pursuit of fertility, in the entire environment that has been passed down for thousands of years, the partners of the contractors are still mainly of the opposite sex.And because the abilities of magicians and warriors complement each other, the proportion of partners of the opposite sex of these two groups forming a contract is the highest.Ke Youte said before that Professor Brett seems to have been introduced by his family to a warrior of the opposite sex. He heard that the conditions are quite suitable, and he should go for the purpose of the contract.

Sandor thinks the same about Kool. Although Kool's family is a bit special, the age and status of the two are just right.After entering St. Paul, there is no doubt about the possibility of Sandor becoming a magician, and Kur is the best female warrior in his heart. If there is no accident, according to Sandor's plan, he is planning to go to the Kool proposes.

But these things still have a long way to go. For Sandor, the most important thing right now is to deliver meals to his Kuco.

Kuhl's injury is gradually improving, but the follow-up training will take a long time.The entire European tour group was unanimously silent about the injury of the head of the group, worried that some secrets would be touched. Sandor only asked about the situation once, and then did not delve into it.

He only knew that when Kuhl was performing a mission, he was not very injured by the long-lasting formation, and some indelible elemental energy remained in his body, so it was difficult to heal.

Both magicians and warriors can use elemental energy. After learning about Kur's injury, Sandor gave Kur the dozens of high-level crystals he brought.These crystals can be regarded as huge sums of money to the ordinary teachers of St. Paul's College, and Kur naturally didn't want to accept them for nothing.But Sandor insisted on giving them, and these crystals were really useful for Kool to heal his wounds. After several rejections, Kool finally accepted the crystals.In exchange, he found the same huge amount of thunder element crystals for Sandor, so that Sandor's elemental energy has become more active these days, and the broken electricity at his fingertips has exceeded the standard.

Leaving the library ahead of time, after buying food in the cafeteria, Sandor took two insulated lunch boxes and came to the fifth district where Kuhl had classes. He climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. They are all in the same building, and in another 5 minutes, it will be the end of class for the senior students.

The theory classroom has two doors for entry and exit, and the glass of the rear door is lower, so Sandel can still reach it with his feet.He carefully glanced inside through the glass, and soon found the familiar side face.

A glance was enough, Sandor put down his heels contentedly, leaned against the wall by the door and continued to wait for someone.Not long after, there was movement in the classroom, the front and rear doors were pushed open one by one, and the students inside came out in twos and threes. Sandel, who was standing out of the way, had quietly reduced his sense of existence, but his face was really Not good for hiding.

Many people looked over curiously, and some tentatively asked, "Sister? Who are you looking for?"

Sandor doesn't have a school uniform yet, but the only people who can appear in the campus at this age are students, so the other party will have this question.

Sandor was about to say that he was not a girl, when a familiar tall figure appeared in front of him.

Kuer pressed his shoulder slightly with one hand, and looked up at the man who spoke.When the people around saw that Sandor was looking for him, they immediately had no other thoughts, and after greeting him one after another, they left one after another.

After withdrawing the hands on the shoulders, Sandor stepped back a suitable distance, and held the lunch box in his arms to show others.He has always paid attention to the gentleman's distance with Ku Ke. Before the relationship is confirmed, he doesn't want Ku Ke to feel disrespected.

But sometimes, Kuke will take the initiative to contact him, which Sandor just discovered. It feels a bit strange to be touched on the head and shoulders by the other party, but Sandor comforts himself that he will grow up soon, and now he is treated like a child It's nothing, I consciously suppressed those strange feelings.

Lunch was eaten in the lounge of the European tour group.The European tour group has its own venue, which is not far from the place where the class in the fifth district is held.There are activities in the European tour group today, and the injured Kull is routinely absent, and there is no one else in the lounge.The two were eating quietly facing each other in the warm room under the sunlight. Sandor's dining posture was very standard. Kool looked at him and could still find the immature shadow of his childhood in this slightly green boy .

The powder-carved and jade-carved doll struggled to reach the corn soup in front of him with its round and short arms, and the silver spoon in his hand tried to keep it steady. The expression when holding the long sword is quite similar.

As Kuhl thought about it, he couldn't help showing some smiles on his face.

The atmosphere was great, but at this moment, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and the person at the door stared blankly at the two people in the room, even forgetting to take a step.

When Kur looked over, the members of the European tour group at the door shouted "Hello, leader" dryly, and then closed the door again in a panic and retreated out.

It's a pity that the door of the lounge is not soundproof, and the stuttering voice of the person outside the door was heard very clearly by the two people in the room.

"Don't go in, group, the group leader is dating a school girl inside..."

Kuhl looked down at the half steak on the plate in front of him, and began to think about another use of the fork in his hand.

"He he he, he laughed!"
