Sylutia took Amelia to tour the exhibition hall of Feast School. Considering that the blue-haired girl next to him had a limited appetite and could not feed her everything, Sylutia took her to avoid common snacks and food, and instead looked for some things that Amelia rarely saw or had never eaten.
"Is this barbecue?" Amelia looked at the grilled mutton skewers handed over by the girl. They were sprinkled with spices and were already roasted to a crispy yellow color, exuding an alluring aroma.
She has read descriptions of this kind of food in books. It can be said that humans have been eating this kind of food for a long time. However, you can't light a fire casually in the library, and there are no raw meat ingredients, so this is Amelia's first time eating barbecue.
"Try it, but be careful of burning your mouth." Sylutia said on the side.
"Hmm." Amelia took the small meat skewer, carefully took a bite, and then chewed and tasted it slowly.
"How?"
"The taste is very special." Amelia couldn't find a very suitable adjective for a while. After all, metaphors are generally used to describe it, and she had too little material in life to provide it.
"So, do you like it or hate it?" Sylutia asked again.
"I like it, three points." Amelia nodded.
"Is the full score five points or ten points?" the girl asked with a smile.
"Five points."
"Okay, let's go to the next stall." Sylutia held hands with Amelia and continued walking forward.
The members of "Feast School" have superb cooking skills, and the food they make can be described as diverse in style. Even Sylutia, who has experience and knowledge in his previous life, always finds it fresh.
For example, if you bake some kind of edible flowers with meat slices, the aroma of the crispy petals will be mixed with the meat slices sandwiched between them. The oil from the roasted meat slices will be absorbed by the flower petals, and this layer of oil will protect the flower petals from being completely roasted into black charcoal. Finally, it will be in a crispy state and bitten together with the meat slices, creating a wonderful taste.
Also, the ice cream cone she proposed to the Fox family has now been learned by some Feast School members and further improved and created.
"Hi, this is a new ice cream snack, called Colorful Glutinous Ice Ball." A Mage wearing colorful clothes smiled and opened his hands, and then light-colored, colorful translucent balls floated in the ice basin in front of him.
The outer layer of these small balls is a translucent soft skin made of glutinous rice flour, and the inside is wrapped with ice cream of different colors. When you bite it open, you will find the light glutinous rice skin mixed with cream ice cream, which has a cold and sweet taste. It will feel great to eat it in summer.
Seeing this novel thing, Amelia stopped unconsciously. Sylutia immediately understood that she must want to try it, so she decisively bought five pieces of "Colorful Glutinous Ice Ball". They put them in paper bowls and ate them while walking.
For Sylutia, she would understand something like this once she tasted it, so she only ate two pills and gave the remaining three pills to Amelia.
Seeing Amelia still looking a little reluctant to leave after eating, Sylutia couldn't help scratching her nose. "Don't eat too much, there's still a lot ahead of you that you haven't seen yet."
"Hmm.
The two of them continued walking inside, and by the time they finished walking around the Feast School exhibition hall, nearly an hour had passed.
Sylutia considered that he would be on stage later, so he took Amelia back to the viewing room. Here, Sylutia took out his other Academy uniform and put it on before walking out of the dressing room.
"Amelia stay here, don't wander around. If anything happens, you can use this to contact me." Sylutia thought for a while, took out a Magic Orb for contact, handed it to Amelia, and then told her how to use it.
For Amelia, this kind of prop is no stranger. She quickly mastered it and nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to participate in the Mechanical Creation competition. I won't be back in about two hours. You should be able to see me on the field while sitting here." Sylutia thought for a while.
"In addition, I have also closed the door. There should be no other people coming. Even if there is, don't go out casually." Sylutia was worried and asked again.
"Yes." Amelia nodded in agreement. Only then did Sylutia feel at ease. Then he waved his hand, closed the door and left.
Passing through the noisy audience, Sylutia held up the hood of her dark windbreaker with one hand. First, she went to the auditorium of the Thetis Academy, chatted a few words with the professor leading the team, and then communicated with familiar classmates from the same class. When the competition started and her name was read, she waved and walked out.
"Hedra Chief, come on~"
"Hedra-senpai, come on~"
Among the cheers behind her, there were not only familiar classmates, but also some Thetis Academy freshmen who were a few years below her.
Although Sylutia herself has no self-awareness, her reputation is actually known to all the students of the Thetis Academy. After all, she has appeared in newspapers and official announcements all over Mage Alliance. This is also a rare honor for the Thetis Academy.
Hearing these congratulations, Sylutia turned back again, waved and thanked for a while, then jumped up lightly, passed Cloud Sea between the giant stands, and arrived at the platform square used for the competition.
After falling down and standing still, Sylutia thought for a moment and took off her hood, revealing her slightly curved black hair. Probably because of the hood and collar, the part of her hair that is now held up has a shape similar to "Ω". Paired with the chic Academy windbreaker and slender thighs, the whole person's temperament has become mature and reliable, which is very consistent with the image of "senpai" that many freshmen expect and imagine.
After arriving on the stage, she looked around and saw that most of the contestants on stage were over thirty years old, and there were only a handful of people her age.
After all, this is the highest competition in the Alliance, and it also places the efforts and hopes of each faction on it. They try to let the strongest members participate. However, it takes time to grow in strength, and it is difficult for young members to beat those more experienced seniors.
In addition to Xilu Tia and two other school members, the other three participating members of the "Mithril Clock" school are all seniors who have graduated for a long time. Their strength is above Fifth Order, and they are not far away from Sixth Order. These three are the popular candidates for the school's championship.
Academy does not have high expectations for whether Sylutia can be ranked. Even though she has made good achievements in the field of Steam Locomotive, the Steam Locomotive she made is only relatively comfortable and easy to use after all, and is not a mechanical creation with strong war capabilities.
"Everyone has arrived, now I will announce the items and rules of the competition." The referee came on stage and explained to all the people present.
"The competition is divided into two parts. The first one will ask you to make specific creations, while the second one will let you compete with freely made mechanical creations to see who wins in the end."
"The competition venue will provide raw materials, and you can only use the limited raw materials provided by the competition venue to make them. Otherwise, the results will be unfair due to the differences in the properties of each material."
"After completing the work, the judges will score your work, and this score can also be converted into points. After the competition is over, you can use the points to take away some of the creations you made."
"The rules are roughly like this. Now I will announce the five questions for the first test." After speaking, he snapped his fingers.
A silver wall rose from behind the referee, and five boxes and requirements appeared on it.
"The theme of this competition is Winter Night Stroll", and five props related to the theme need to be made." He began to explain one by one.
[Make a gun for hunting wild boars"]; You need to make a shotgun that can be operated with one hand, and kill a level 4 Winter Calamity Woolly Boar within a distance of 100 meters and within one minute. [Make a lantern that pierces the snow and fog"]; You need to make a lantern that can illuminate, and let it shine Penetration 1000 meter radius Gray-White Mist".
[Make Horn of Awakened Courage"]; You need to make a horn that can improve fighting spirit and strengthen willpower, and let ten timid Sound-Shy Monkey" have the courage to fight the third-level Winter Wolf".
[Make Warm Current That Melts the Ice"]; It is necessary to make a heating prop to relieve freezing and resist the cold, and let three Riverbend Crocodile from the warm jungle "safely pass through the Extreme Cold Mist" which is about one kilometer long.
[Make Ice-Breaking Sled"]; You need to make a steam-powered vehicle that can travel without being affected by the cold winter. Pass through the three-kilometer-diameter White-Night Cold Mist" and score points based on its overall performance.
After the topic came out, it immediately triggered a heated discussion among the audience.
"The topic this time is very meaningful. After all, Season of Sinking Fog will be here in two years. If there are really better inventions and creations, it should be of great use."
"But the difficulty is not small. I saw that the materials on site are only at the third level at most" and there are restrictions on the quantity that can be taken. Among the several tests to be faced, dealing with that Winter Calamity Woolly Boar "requires extremely powerful firearms to kill people at short distances and in a short time. If all good materials are used to make guns, then the proportion of high-quality materials in the following items must be reduced."
"Season of Sinking Fog There are sixteen kinds of disaster mist. Three of them are listed in this test, and they are still relatively dangerous."
"Gray-White Mist, which can cause people to lose their bearings, blur their consciousness, and cause hallucinations."
"Extreme Cold Mist that plunges life into silence and extinction".
"The "White-Night Cold Mist" that corrodes various things and causes items and lives to mutate."
"If we encounter these kinds of misfortunes in Season of Sinking Fog, it will at least cause huge losses to the area, and at worst, it will lead to the death of life in the entire area." Someone recalled the past and shook his head with emotion.
"Okay, the competition has begun. I don't know what kind of props these contestants will make to cope with these five tests.
Below, Sylutia also read the five test requirements listed on the wall and thought in his mind.
To make firearms for hunting wild boars, she had learned some knowledge about muskets from the senior sister Fire Spirit School. Although she was not as good as those gunsmiths who specialized in making muskets, it should not be difficult to cope with this test.
For the lantern that pierces the fog, she can use the lantern skill she learned from Lady Falan as a template for transformation. For the fog, "the best Aspect Power is Radiant Moon" and she happens to have the inheritance of "Silver Radiance Church", so she is very good at it.
--
This is indeed her first contact with a horn that arouses fighting spirit. She has never made such an emotional and spiritual prop before. However, when she traveled in the Western Mountains in the past few years, she saw a lot of horns and drums of the Orc tribe, and also obtained some Shaman skills in exchange. Although it is relatively unfamiliar, she should be able to come up with a work that is barely qualified if she studies it on the spot later.
Warm Current That Melts the Ice, when it comes to keeping warm and insulating against cold winter erosion, the best ones to use are Blazing Sun and Aspect Power. She has not learned much in this area. If it were to cultivate Blazing Sun and Aspect Power plants, she is very good at it. After all, Lady Falan has taught her a lot of experience.
The last item, making the Steam Locomotive that can travel through cold fog, was simply a question given to her, because during this year, she participated in countless tests and designs, just to make the new car able to cope with various complex and extreme environments, and accumulated extremely rich experience.
It can be said that among the contestants present, there is no one who is better at this than her.
Among the five tests, she is confident that she can get high scores in three. As for the remaining two, it depends on her actual performance.
After the competition started, all the contestants took action. After Sylutia also thought about it, he walked to the material table and began to select raw materials.
Due to the rules, she could only choose three third-level "materials". At this time, she chose one Xi Gold" and one Thermofusion Crystal", leaving the remaining one unselected.
After getting the two main materials, Xilu Tia began to select the matching second-level materials, then returned to her workbench and started processing.
Six exquisite blue "Steel Shadow Demon Hand" appeared beside her, and then a faint dark blue symbol appeared in the girl's eyes, and she began to direct the operations of these Magic Hand, almost doing three things at once, processing and creating three things at the same time.
The first was a gun for hunting wild boars. She used the high-temperature heat flow from the furnace to melt Xi Gold", and then began processing to create the barrel. Various accessories on the other side were gradually formed.
A few years ago, when she was still at the second level, she was able to create a fourth-level "perfect" creation. Now she is even more comfortable doing this, five or six times faster than before, and the process is extremely smooth.
Almost twenty minutes later, a pale golden one-handed long-barreled musket appeared in the hands of Sylutia. This gun adopted a reliable and durable runner structure. After opening the back cover, six prepared enchanted bullets were pressed into it one by one., then closed the gun cover, Sylutia held the handle of the gun and aimed it at the target for test firing in front. Three rings of light gold appeared outside the barrel, reinforcing and stabilizing the axis, and compressing the energy of the gunpowder to make it work more efficiently.
After taking aim, she pulled the trigger, and the gunpowder in it was fired. The hot enchanted bullet broke through the air waves, crossed a golden streamline, hit the target in the distance, shattered it, and left a big hole in the stone wall behind.
If the person standing opposite is not a target, but a third-level Knight, and is hit by such a shot, the shield will probably be destroyed and the person will be killed, and he will be shot directly through.
The power should be enough, but unfortunately due to material restrictions this time, she can only barely create a fourth-level "excellent" firearm. If she can get the rare fourth-level "material Black Magic Copper" to build it like before, she can probably create a firearm of "Fifth Order" quality.
Putting down the completed musket, Sylutia began to take on the next test.
"Lamp that pierces the snow and fog", which method should be used to make this? Sylutia looked at the various materials on the table.
Silver Radiance Church" has inherited a variety of lamps such as Silver Candle Lamp, Golden Radiance Lamp, Moon-Waiting Lamp, and Awakening Night White Lamp", among which there are several types with fog-breaking effects.
After considering various factors, Sylutia decided to choose Moon-Waiting Lamp" among them. It's not that this one has the best effect, but that it is the most inconspicuous and popular. Silver Candle Lamp" and Golden Radiance Lamp" have the best effect. The effect is very strong and can be said to be the signature of Silver Radiance Church. However, because it is too famous, it cannot be easily used. Moreover, it is made of third-level materials and cannot take advantage of these two lamps. It is better to choose the relatively popular Moon-Waiting Lamp."
This is a lamp developed by "Silver Radiance Church" after absorbing some of the techniques and ideas from the East. It is often used in World of Shadows's stronghold. It can bloom a long-lasting light that can break through the fog and weakly resist erosion.
After choosing this, she picked three pieces of Moonfirefly Stone", then paired them with some herbs and metal raw materials and started making them.
The structure of the lantern is relatively simple. From start to finish, Xilu Tia only took 12 minutes.
[Moon-Waiting Lamp] (Level 3·Rare); A lamp that can emit cool, crystal-white light. This light can easily pierce the fog, and it also has weak restraint on illusions and illusions. (Fog Breaking +4, Illusion Restraint +1)
Holding it in her hand, she used a small amount of mental power to activate the runes in the lantern, and a burst of clear light spread, instantly illuminating a space of nearly a kilometer in radius. Such a strong experimental effect could not help but surprise Sylutia herself, and it also attracted many spectators at the scene.
"That one is?"
"It's Ms. Hedra from Mithril Clock. I even collected her posters in the first half of the year. I can't be wrong."
"It's amazing. Even from such a distance, I can feel the effect of that light.
After one test, Sylutia put away the light and started the next test.
