After stepping out of the carriage, Sylutia felt dazzled. Everything in front of him was strange and fresh, and it also gave people a special Impact power.
After all, in the technologically advanced societies of the previous life, robot technology was not yet mature and popular, but here, those moving machines Doll can be seen everywhere. They assist Academy's staff and do many tasks.
"Please go this way." Considering that Sylutia is extremely young, a waiter guided her through the long red carpet and towards the magnificent building in front.
"This is Gilded Hall, built fifty years ago. The huge golden stage is composed of seven ritual rings with overlapping centers, which can be adjusted Rotation at will."
"Because a large number of structures are made of metal, the machine Doll also relies on magnetism to move freely, such as walking flush with the wall, or upside down."
The waiter on the side introduced the girl in detail, and then Sylutia asked a few very interesting questions.
"Do these Doll have the ability to think, or in other words, how do they obtain the ability to act independently?"
"This, it involves the high-level application of "Secret Speech" and "Aspect Power." The other party answered with a smile.
"You should have learned that "Secret Speech" represents memory, history, reproduction, etc. When you reach the advanced level of "Secret Speech" Aspect Power, you can engrave your own memories or feelings, store them in special containers, and then convey them to others."
"This is the origin of many inherited gems, tablets, and sacred scriptures."
"Since memories and feelings can be engraved, naturally some set behavioral habits and coping methods can also be engraved into a special container, and then placed in the machine Doll, and it will act according to the contents of the memory in the gem."
"The more advanced the machine Doll is, the more actions it can remember and perform, and it can also do more complex things."
"As for why it is the mechanical Doll and not other mechanical shapes, that is because those who store memories are humans, and those behavioral patterns are controlled according to human instincts. If it is replaced by other shapes and structures, it will be completely inappropriate."
"That's it."
A few minutes later, Sylutia arrived inside this magnificent building, climbed up the metal steps built in the air, and then came to the edge of the huge golden stage.
Now under her feet is a giant ring with a diameter of about 600 meters, which is also the outermost ring among the seven rings of the stage. The ring is slowly rotating and gradually tilting, but when she stands on it, it is just like on the ground. There seems to be some special gravity generating device here, so that even if the tables, chairs and people on the ring are turned upside down, they will still feel like they are standing on the ground and will not fall.
As the circle Rotation, Sylutia sat in place, it was like experiencing a huge Ferris wheel, watching the square in the distance getting further and further away, getting lower and lower, and the position I was in slowly entered the sky.
If you are an ordinary person who has never experienced this before, you may be frightened by this scene and your legs will weaken or you will fall down. Fortunately, the guests invited to Silver Bell Festival are basically at level three or above. Sylutia is almost the lowest level Aspect Power here. It feels like a kindergarten child entering an adult banquet.
Sitting at the table in the giant ring, Sylutia looked at the snacks and meals provided above. Almost all of them were "second-level" or above delicacies. A random portion would cost more than ten gold coins in the outside world, but here it is just ordinary food.
She looked towards the center of the golden stage, where performances were still taking place at the moment, but it seemed that this was just some kind of warm-up performance, not a formal program yet.
In the seven-layered ring, the inner three are reserved for performance activities, the fourth is vacant and isolated, the fifth is used for free activities and communication, and the sixth and seventh are filled with hundreds of round tables of different sizes and thousands of seats.
There was still half an hour until six o'clock. Sylutia was sitting at the table, sipping some snacks and looking through the program list and tonight's schedule placed on the table.
The celebration program starts at six o'clock and lasts until more than eleven o'clock in the night, and then it is the time of ringing the bell at twelve o'clock in the morning. The bells ringing by the "Mithril Clock" school can be heard throughout the Mage Alliance, which is used to calibrate the time.
After ringing the bell, it's time for free activities. At this time, you can freely tour around Rolick Academy, visit the various works on display, and learn the secret techniques you are interested in. When you leave early in the morning, you can get a special gift prepared by the academy for all guests.
Time passed slowly, and as the appointed time arrived, more and more guests came to the Gilded Hall. At this moment, Sylutia also saw several boys and girls who were the same age as themselves, but came with adults.
"Are you alone, little girl?" A kind old grandmother came over with her granddaughter on her arm.
"Hello, yes." Sylutia put down the ice cream snack in his hand and stood up to answer.
Behind the old woman in a black dress was a girl who looked a few years younger than Sylutia. She had a pair of pale golden ponytails. She held her grandma's arm with one hand and looked at Sylutia.
"Haha, this is my granddaughter Ticis. She is a little curious about you and a little shy." She smiled and touched the head of the girl next to her to introduce.
"Hello." Sylutia looked at the girl who was about 14 years old. She was also Transcendent from Secret Speech Aspect, but only First Order. The old lady in front of her was probably at the level of Fifth Order.
"Hello." After saying this, Ticis hid behind her grandma again, while Sylutia had no choice but to continue communicating with the old grandma in front of her.
After learning that Sylutia got the invitation letter all by himself, the old man praised him repeatedly, and then he said what many parents like to say.
"Ticis should learn from this sister, look at how awesome she is." These words made the little girl who had some affection for Sylutia feel rebellious. She sat on the chair and turned away angrily.
Seeing this, Sylutia comforted and exhorted a few words, saying that it was just a coincidence and so on. Then as time passed, the entire Gilded Hall stage ring began to return to its original position, that is, all seven rings were on the same level.
A melodious violin sound sounded, and the voices in the Gilded Hall slowly became quieter. Many people stopped talking and began to focus on the central stage.
At the center of the stage, nearly 600 mechanical Dolls in black short skirts and dresses have already stepped onto the stage. They are like real girls, with elegant postures and are immersed in the sound of the piano.
Then the peripheral lights gradually dimmed and went out, while the lights converged on the stage in the center of the hall.
After the melodious violin performance ended, the two hosts took the stage and began to give speeches to celebrate, introducing the long history and tradition of the Rorick Academy.
According to the official statement, the "Puppetry School" originated from a puppeteer performing in the countryside. He could skillfully manipulate the hanging silk puppets with his fingers to make those puppets filled with simple cloth and straw make vivid movements.
In his early years, he lived a difficult life and did not make much money even though he performed in various places. However, he had a passion for being an Doll artist. Even so, he worked tirelessly to find ways to improve his performances to make his performances more perfect and Doll more refined and beautiful.
Year after year passed like this, his Doll performance finally gradually became famous and became a legend of that era, and thus condensed "Secret Speech" Aspect Power.
When he was old, he returned to his hometown town and began to teach the local young people the experience and skills he had accumulated for many years, and gradually organized all his experiences, which became the origin of "Phantom Puppet School". The name of that town was "Luo Li Ke", which is also the origin of the current Academy.
"Learn the clues of "Holy Code·Town Doll Master". If you can find the original book, you can learn the way to become the Seventh Order profession "Dream-Weaving Puppeteer"."
Seventh Order profession, Sylutia recalled that the "Sacred Book·Melancholy Praying in the Lake" she got at that time only contained clues about Sixth Order profession [Saint of the Lake].
After the opening speech, there was a grand performance. At this time, not only the mechanical Doll was performing on the stage, but also hundreds of golden Griffin flying in the air. If you look closely, they are all made of metal, and the complex structure inside can be seen exposed on the abdomen.
These Griffin formed a formation, crossed the stage, and passed over the heads of Sylutia. The air flow caused many guests to exclaim in surprise, and some children also screamed with excitement.
After the two performances of the mechanical Doll, the real person finally appeared. This time, the formal students of the Rorick Academy came up, all of whom were level three or above. They were divided into two parties, standing opposite each other wearing uniforms of different colors.
Then, the first ring in their center sank, and then a hundred neat scarecrows were placed on both sides. Different from the ordinary styles in the fields, these scarecrows had joints and each held a wooden sword.
Then the students from both sides stood on the upper ring, each stretched out their hands, and invisible threads connected the selected scarecrows. The dead wooden scarecrows immediately came to life.
This is an inherent program of the Rorick Academy every year. It is said that it is inherited from the early years of the school. At that time, metal machinery Doll had not yet been developed. School members in the town used scarecrows as props for training.
Under the control of the elite Doll divisions within the Academy, these scarecrows exploded with astonishing combat power. They galloped and flew in the air. The seemingly fragile wooden swords, under the blessing of secret techniques, erupted in red flames and fought back and forth on the stage, causing each opponent to explode Burn.
In Sylutia's view, this scarecrow made of ordinary materials is as if it has been reborn in the hands of these Doll masters. Ordinary second-level warriors cannot resist it. Their hands and feet are extremely flexible, and the wooden swords in their hands are special. Under the blessing of the secret method, red arcs of light flashed from time to time, and even steel could be cut. The scarecrow controlled by the chiefs of the two parties was even more skilled in swordsmanship and extremely fast. The wooden sword he swung emitted a suffocating heat wave that even the average third-level Knight could not withstand.
As expected of the Academy, who ranks seventh among the Mage Alliance, he indeed has many secret inheritances that are unimaginable to the outside world.
After a few minutes of fighting, only the scarecrows controlled by the two chiefs were left in the center of the stage. They staggered each other from time to time, and their scorched bodies were filled with flames, almost burning to death, but yet they were powerful.
Finally, the scarecrows on both sides leaped into the air and launched a final blow, like two flaming meteors colliding, bursting into beautiful and grand fireworks in the air.
After the end, there was a warm round of applause, and this was just the beginning of tonight's feast.
One amazing and novel show after another was performed, and Sylutia was immersed in it unknowingly. He was fascinated by the show and was amazed by the various whimsical ideas and magical secret abilities.
By the time she came to her senses, the time had reached 11 o'clock, and it was the end of the program.
One by one, the performers and the Dolls came on stage to express their thanks. Finally, a gray-haired old man came on stage to make a speech. He is the current principal of the Rorick Academy, and he is over 300 years old.
By the time all the shows came to a close, there were only ten minutes left until 12 o'clock in the morning.
Slowly breaking away from the afterglow of the grand show, everyone discussed various details revealed in tonight's performance. Some praised the technology, some praised the strength of the new generation of students, and some talked about recent current events.
At this time, Ticis was also talking to her grandma and Sylutia. They probably watched the program together for several hours. The feeling of unfamiliarity between the two was reduced a lot, and she was no longer so afraid of strangers.
"Sister Hedra, can you also use silk thread to control Doll?"
"I can use silk thread, but I haven't learned to control Doll yet." Sylutia answered with a smile, then thought about it and showed Flying Bird of the silk thread Weaving.
Curiously, I looked at the Flying Bird and Ticis that surrounded my body and wanted to reach out and touch it. Finally, I touched it lightly and felt a strange coldness.
Seeing the three birds spinning in circles in the air, doing various acrobatic movements, and weaving the silk threads behind them into beautiful window grilles in the air, Ti Qisi couldn't help but applaud.
"Hedra sister, so amazing~"
In a relatively distant place, the interaction between Sylutia and Ticis was seen by two professors from the Academy. They looked at each other and smiled, and seemed to have an idea.
"You can't compete with me this time." Among them, the old man with neatly combed hair spoke first.
"That's not okay, Senior Condner." The one who spoke was the woman on the side. She covered her mouth and smiled softly. She was also wearing a black and decent professor's uniform.
"That's a girl. It's more appropriate for me to teach you."
"You already have several students, why are you still competing with me?"
"Ah, no one stipulates that you can't recruit new apprentices if you have students. I think she is very suitable to pass on my skills."
"Besides, you haven't recruited an apprentice for decades, and now you have recruited such a young and lovely girl. Are you sure you can teach her? I would be more suitable."
"It seems that we have to make an agreement." This sentence means in school that the two parties compete through fair means to see who can win.
"Okay, but we'd better go over and talk to her now, otherwise we'll be kidnapped by other old guys, and it will be a joke."
"No, it would be too conspicuous to go directly. Many of us are secretly watching." The old man shook his head, thought for a while, and then discussed in a low voice with the woman next to him.
"Haha, senior, you have the experience, so let's do this." After saying that, the two of them looked at the girl in the distance again, then turned and left.
At this time, the rest time in the middle has passed, and the hands of the clock tower outside the Gilded Hall slowly align with the 12 o'clock position.
A clear bell rang in the center of the Mage Alliance. With this sound as Qidian, the bell towers in various places also sounded in unison, echoing in the sky, like ripples, sweeping across the Fourth Continent.
The silver bell rings and time is ordered.
