At around four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, a rapid knock on the door woke Sylutia up, and he quickly put on his coat and went out to open the door.
A large blue jay with beautiful feathers stood in front of the door, its figure reflected by the occasional lightning in the sky. There were still some water droplets on its feathers, but they were quickly shaken off with the flutter of its wings.
After seeing Sylutia, the blue jay's eyes lit up with special marks, as if checking information, and then let out a croaking cry.
"Hedra, Hedra! There is a notice from you! Please gather at Central Auditorium quickly!" After saying that, it turned around and flew up, disappearing in the rain.
Is this the bird in the Academy that specially informs information? This is the first time she has seen it.
Returning to the house, Sylutia quickly changed his clothes, combed his hair three times, straightened it out briefly, then simply tied it into a ponytail with a thin white ribbon and wrapped it sideways in front of him. Then he called Shadow-Walking Beast to follow him and rushed into the rain.
A transparent air mask appeared around her body, blocking the raindrops, and then the silver wings stretched out from her back, carrying her like lightning through the air, turning into a silver track and disappearing into the night sky.
Half a minute later, Sylutia descended from the sky. At this time, Central Auditorium had already arrived. Many people were gathered inside for a noisy discussion. Among them were all senior students, with no members from grades 1-2.
Passing through the crowd, Sylutia quickly arrived at the Hall and saw several professors waiting for her.
"I'm here." Sylutia didn't know what happened, but since he informed himself so urgently, it was by no means a simple play house.
"You're here, Hedra." Refas walked out of the crowd and came to the girl.
Among the Thetis Academy's current professors, Refas is the strongest one. He is only one step away from Seventh Order and may advance at any time.
His silver-white hair is neatly combed, and his figure is impressive. If you don't know that he is a powerful Mage, it is easy to think that he is a general. In fact, Professor Refas has been taking over many of the Academy chief's duties temporarily when the Academy chief has not been in charge of specific affairs for many years.
"I have called you here today because I have something important to announce." He looked at the girl solemnly.
"The council has decided on the support team and has begun recruiting personnel and packing supplies. You are honored to be selected as a member of one of the teams and set off with us."
Sylutia was not surprised that she was selected, but what she heard about the appointment next surprised her.
"A total of ten teams are setting off this time. Your final destination is Kandra in the north of the Alliance." That is the majestic giant city at the northernmost tip of the Alliance, home to nearly a million people. Once Kandra When E" falls, not only will the residents there be spared, but more importantly, North Wind Defense Line built with Kandra" as its core will also collapse, and Wind Disaster will become even more crazy."
"In order to avoid that situation from happening, the ten trains that are about to depart will all be fully loaded with Blazing Sun Essence Crystal." This is the Fire Seed that supplies energy to the "furnace". You can understand that Kandra is a giant beast that must eat Fire Seed. If it loses its supply, it will go out."
"Each team departing has nearly 2,000 official Mage, and nearly 10,000 accompanying support personnel. You are about to board the Ninth Train. The leader of the team is Ge Zhen, the master from the Origin Hourglass" school. He is a knowledgeable and experienced elder, followed by you as the deputy and the Inspection Department team led by you, and there is also the engineer team led by Novaton from the Sun Furnace" school."
"The ten trains will move forward in three routes. The east side is relatively safe, but the detour is far away. The middle route is the fastest, but the conditions along the way are also the most dangerous. You will encounter a lot of trouble. Although the west side is less affected, because the large load capacity was not considered during the construction of the track, only lighter train sets can be used, and the transportation capacity is limited."
"The Ninth Train you are in was selected to start from the middle road. It is the second batch. The one who opened the way for you is Third Train."
"Now first and second, Third Train has started loading, and the personnel are already in place. Now you need to go to the Inspection Department immediately to gather the team members. Before nightfall tomorrow, everything will be ready. Not only the personnel, but also the inventory and verification of all the materials that must be in place."
"The departure time of the train is six o'clock in the evening. The ringing of the bell at Clock Tower is the departure horn."
"Did you understand and remember everything?" he asked with a stern look.
"Remember it." Sylutia nodded.
"Very good, this trip is of great importance. You represent not only yourself, but also the honor of the school. All members of the Mithril Clock school who are traveling with you will temporarily obey your orders. Remember your mission, deal with it calmly, and consider everything along the way. You have no room for mistakes." His words were stern to the point where they even sounded like a warning.
Seeing this, Professor Vekos and Associate Professor Sharon came over to comfort Sylutia.
"Don't scare the child. You will make Hedra too nervous, which will lead to bad things."
"I know." Refas took a deep breath, then calmed down, looked at Sylutia, raised a hand and pressed it on her shoulder. The rough fingers were like cast iron, making Sylutia feel the strong will of the elders in front of him.
"You are still too young, too young. Although the past has been smooth sailing, as long as you have not experienced the test of hardships and dangers, I will never be able to rest assured." He patted you slowly a few times, then turned his back.
"Each of the ten teams that set out this time is represented by members of our school. Some of them are experienced professors and masters, some are elites who have served for many years, and some are also people with a lot of experience that make people feel safe and trustworthy. Only you are the youngest and the most junior, but you are still one of the leaders of a team.
"I don't know why the council valued you so much when deciding on candidates, but since you have taken over this position, you must do your best. Do you understand, Hedra."
"I will." Sylutia nodded again.
"Okay, go ahead, prepare well, don't worry about what I say, just do your best." He finally softened his expression and was no longer as scary as he was at the beginning.
The girl nodded again and left Central Auditorium.
After she left, the professors and teachers began to count the people and divided them into different support teams. Some would start today, while others would wait until tomorrow.
Sylutia immediately set off for the Inspection Department's location. At six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just getting light, she walked into the Inspection Department's door, took out the transfer order, and started to gather people.
Messenger birds shuttled back and forth, recalling the members who were performing tasks. At nine o'clock in the morning, she counted the 300 members of the team she led this time, and then set off to the location prepared by the Ninth Train team, which was like a steel fortress. The train is being assembled, and more Sturdiness armor is added to it. The front line of the Sharpness is divided into sections, and then the heavy Crystal-Splitting Cannon is also lifted and installed for reinforcement.
Inside the station, the staff were nervously debugging the equipment. The sound of steam erupting and roaring and vibrating sounds were constant. The legions that set out with the train gradually got into position. They were all equipped with advanced muskets and sophisticated armor to prepare for this expedition.
Today's northern region is no longer as peaceful as it used to be. The victims of disasters turned into mobs just by a change of thought. Magic Creature traveling in the storm will become even crazier when blessed by the breath of Vaulted Sky. The arrival of the cold breath also makes the beasts of winter appear on the earth. Those aquatic creatures sleeping in the Ice Sea may follow the heavy rain and strong winds southward at any time.
In the distant sky, heavy rain tore and deformed in the wind. Between this majestic sky and earth, the gray iron track stretched into the distance like an invisible thin line, and finally disappeared into the depths of the hazy rain and fog.
Inside the station, huge hammers struck heavily, rivets were embedded into the car body to strengthen it. This steel behemoth was about to set off.
