The white envelope is delicate and smooth, and there seem to be petals in the texture, which is completely different from the postal department's system, more like a work of art, but Ali didn't pay attention to these details, and his eyes were completely fixed on the few lines of handwriting on the envelope, they were so familiar, so beautiful, so that Ali's heart was on fire at once, and he couldn't feel the cold of early spring.
Unable to return to the classroom to open it, Ali took out a thick stack of letter paper as he walked in the cold wind and carefully unfolded it.
"I haven't heard back from you for a few months, which makes me very worried, and I thought that something had happened to you, or that something in the previous correspondence hurt you, but I couldn't find a way to contact you, but fortunately the truth of the matter is not what I imagined."
"Our school has two months of New Year's leave, and by the time I read your letters, they have accumulated several letters, so I'm sorry to be able to come to Rentat, whether it is successful or not, I believe that this will be the most precious treasure of your life, just like the famous playwright Mr.
Falham wrote in the Land of a Thousand Lakes: Youth allows failure, so take advantage of this golden year to read more books, experience more things, and see more beautiful and cruel world."
"In this era of change and rapid increase, opportunities are everywhere, as long as you dare to think and dare to do, you will always grasp one, but if you are afraid of failure and refuse to take on and face anything, you can only let the opportunities slip by one by one."
"You must have lived in Rentat for several months, and I don't know what is wrong with it, and what impression I have of the new things and changes described in my letters, and when I reread the letters I have written, I always have a feeling of heat on my face, because I was full of longing and passion at that time, and I always couldn't help but depict them with the most gorgeous and romantic strokes, and only now that I have been able to restrain this emotion a little, only to find that it is indeed too beautiful and exaggerated, and it is not a small difference from the actual situation, Ali, what do you think in your heartand what do they look like" "I've always thought that maybe a general education school is not as good as a Blaufry school in terms of finding a job in an alchemy workshop and the benefits of the first few years, but if you want to achieve more and open up a better future, then only a general education school can provide the knowledge you need, the first three years, don't be impatient, everything you learn is to help you recognize yourself, figure out what you are good at and like, so that you can absorb the necessary nutrients like crazy in the next two years" "In addition to studying, don't forget to integrate into Rentat, only by integrating into it, you can really appreciate every detail of the changes of the times, thrilling details, which can make you look for opportunities, so I recommend that you go out often on weekends or take a part-time job" "There is a street-side teahouse on Rose Avenue, the environment is comfortable, the taste is pure, the small band is replaced by a magic gramophone, only two musicians are retained, the clown theater often has a hilarious comedy stage, although the Egret District is a slum, but you can meet experienced adventurers, their words may be exaggerated, but what they have seen is impressiveWhenever night comes, the administrative district, the noble district, the Queen's Road and other places, you can see the starry sky descending on the ground."
Jane introduced the Rentat in her mind with plain brushstrokes, trying to avoid high-end and luxurious places, so that Ali had a sense of purpose.
There was no ambiguity in this letter, it was a complete friend chatter, not polite but attentive to every detail, warm and thoughtful, just like every letter in the past, but even so, Ali was overjoyed, read it several times, and did not put away the letter until he was about to enter the classroom.
"I was the second in the whole grade in the opening exam after the New Year's break, and I will be invited to visit the Alinge Magician, visit the Atomic Research Institute, I have been to Alinge, but I have never been allowed to visit the Magic Tower, this time I finally have the opportunity, I hope the Atomic Research Institute is even more fantastic than I imagined" Ali recalls the penultimate paragraph of her abbreviation, and although she tries to write it in a calm and unobtrusive tone, her heartfelt joy is evident between the lines.
Thinking of this, Ali's heart thumped, and the results of the monthly exam were about to be announced, did he have any hope of going to Alinge Sitting in his chair nervously, Ali couldn't calm down until Mr.
Brian, who taught the "Basic Arcane Theory" class, walked in.
"Now that the monthly exam rankings are announced, the top 20 are the lucky ones who can get an invitation to visit Sky City."
Brian smiled, and the atmosphere in the classroom was quiet until it froze.
"Dawn" Bryan began to announce the list, and with each name being pronounced, there was an uncontrollable cheer.
One by one, the familiar names were pronounced, and joyful voices sounded, Ali became more and more nervous, how could he not have entered the top twenty without himself "Ricardo."
Brian pronounced the twentieth name.
Without me, really without me, the great loss hit Ali, so that he really tasted the bitterness of failure, the bitterness that he had never had, in the past, in the small town, although he also had the experience of failure, but not once with such great expectations as now.
It wasn't until he was in his thirties that Ali heard his name, and this encounter made him realize the fact that his foundation was still too poor, and there was a very big gap between him and those who had been trained in Lentat for a long time or received a year or two of instruction from scholars and magic apprentices, although he worked hard and worked hard, but if he wanted to catch up, he had to maintain such an attitude for at least a year.
In this case, many people chose to give up on themselves, because the starting point was inconsistent, how to compete, but Ali thought of Jane's encouragement, thought of his parents' expectations, so he quietly clenched his fists and vowed to catch up slowly, others are working hard, then he will work five times, ten times harder At the end of March, Ali, who was immersed in his studies, was still accustomed to going to the school gate every few days, and finally, he received a letter from Jane again.
"The last time you said that you were very interested in the knowledge of alchemy items, and you learned very quickly, I think this is because we were all attracted by the simplified alchemy items such as magic radios, magic crystal lamps, wired telephones, telegraphs, and the content told by the mysterious voices, so we can't be blind."
"If you are really interested, you can go to the school or the Municipal Library of Rentat to borrow books such as the history of alchemy items in the history of alchemy items in the history of magic and alchemy, which is edited by His Excellency Prince Evans, and the 100,000 why alchemy fascicles are both intellectual and interesting."
"In the middle of the month, we went to Sky City, and although it may be irritating to you, I still want to share my experience with you, I hope it will calm your regrets" "I've been to Sky City many times, but every time the railroad tracks are raised from the ground, there is always a shudder from the heart, it's fear, it's excitement, it's fear of the ant-like things below, it's fear of the fantasy decline, and the excitement is, if it weren't for the magic steam train and the Sky City, then I probably wouldn't have been able to experience the feeling of running in mid-air for the rest of my life, after all, not everyone can become a full-fledged magician, I've studied arcane and magic for several years, and I'm still in the apprenticeship stage."
"There was a little malfunction when the long public transport car pulled us towards the Alinge Magic Tower, and at this time, a steel golem came out of the magic tower next to it, its eyes flashed red, and it was pushed together with the car and people, until it was pushed in front of the Alinge Magic Tower, and sometimes, the golem is not only used for killing and fighting" "The architectural style of the Alinge Magic Tower is completely different from the towers in Rentat, but it is unexpectedly commensurate with the alchemy car, the flying machine, the magic steam train, the blast gun, the magic air conditioner, the magic crystal lamp, etc., and it seems that together they form a unique atmosphere and style of the era" "I don't see Mr.
Felipe in the genetic lab, and I don't regret that he went to collect species in the Dark Mountains, but my friend will probably be very sad because she admires Mr.
Felipe and aspires to become a doctor who has mastered healing magic and anatomical skills."
"The genetic laboratory is different from what I imagined, there are a lot of ordinary plants, there are many animals with no special features, well, the only thing that makes me experience the horror and the genetic laboratory should feel like this is the partially mutated creatures, in a laboratory filled with solution, I saw a bloody and terrifying scene, some common animals mutated into hideous and disgusting monsters, can you imagine a mouse covered with abscesses, can you imagine a rabbit with two heads, can you imagine that a dog has no fur" "Fortunately, most of the students who came were frightened by this scene, and we went to the Atomic Research Institute."
"Mr.
Lazar and Ms.
Heidi received us and showed us around most of the Institute, which, as I had imagined, had all kinds of intricate and mysterious magic arrays and alchemical platforms that shimmered with different lusters."
"When Ms.
Heidi turned on the particle collider, the walls, floors, and ceilings of the entire row of tunnels lit up with a silvery white color at the same time, and then partially transformed into orange-red transparent colors, under their shock, I felt like I was in a dream, this picture and the overall style of the Atomic Research Institute made me feel the future, I don't know why I felt this way, but I really experienced the future, maybe this is the future style" "Ali, did you know that there is a teleportation array to the universe in the Atomic Research Institute, and there is a cosmic observatory where you can be in the starry sky?"
Jane rarely used exclamation marks, so Ali felt her uneasy heart, and her own mood fluctuated, as if the scene of the Atomic Research Institute was vivid, and she wished to be in it now.
"The Space Observatory is in the starry sky", this is something he can't even dream of "Ali, Ms.
Heidi told me that in the future, the Voice of Mysteries will have more exploration of the universe, and will also use illusions to simulate starry sky scenes for us to feel, and if we can get the first place in the whole grade in the final exam in June, then there will be hope that we will actually make it to the Observatory of the Universe."
"Let's work together, okay?"
"Good" Ali clenched his fists, his heart was surging, and he seemed to be in the vast and boundless starry sky, feeling the turbulent waves of the times.
The holy city of Reims.
Pope Benedict III looked out the window, thinking about a piece of information he had received: "Lucien Evans has recently borrowed a lot of material related to the depths of the endless ocean
