blue whales under the stars

It was almost dawn when the two of them fell asleep, and most of the daylight of the second day was naturally wasted.They wandered around Tamar City again, and soon came the day when the preparatory students of St. Paul's College set off together.

The gathering place was still at that square, and in order to prevent accidents, the two arrived near the square after lunch.Even so, when the two of them arrived at the scene, the other preparatory students were basically there as well.

Although the admission standards of St. Paul's College are strict enough, the two-week admissions test still leaves a large number of preparatory students.Mu Ye was shocked when he first saw it, he didn't expect so many people to walk together.There were only a lot more people gathered in the square than when they came for the test two days ago, which almost made Mu Ye think that he came at the wrong time.

However, excluding those seeing off and onlookers, the total number of preparatory students who passed the initial test was only less than 500, and magic apprentices accounted for nearly two-thirds of them.Mu Ye found his name in several forms filled with confirmation registration symbols. After filling out the registration information, he waited at the end of the line under the guidance.

Mr. Blue Whale's confirmation is much easier than him. After all, the number of beast tamers cannot be compared with magicians and warriors, and there is no settled beast tamers near Tamar City.During the two-week enrollment period of St. Paul's College, there were no more than 50 animal trainers who could pass the first round of tests.Bai Cang quickly confirmed his return and stood with Mu Ye.

Elena said before that they would gather at [-] o'clock in the evening, but because of their longing for St. Paul's College, most of the preparatory students waited in the square in the morning.Seeing that all the preparatory students on the registration form had arrived in advance, the people from St. Paul's College organized and led the team and led everyone to the pier not far from the square.

Unlike the port where the two were at the day before yesterday, this pier is smaller and obviously does not include most of the cargo ships.It was still early in the day, and the two giant passenger ships with the exclusive logo of St. Paul's College parked quietly at the pier. On the deck stood two teams of sailors in uniform. The hull was huge and the scale was so neat that people couldn't help but marvel at it.

Unlike the yearning students beside him, Mu Ye always felt that there was something wrong with the two ships, but after carefully looking them over a few times, he couldn't say why.

When he looked at Mr. Blue Whale for the third time, his partner turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Aware of Mu Ye's question, Bai Cang explained: "The carrying capacity of this pier does not match the draft of the passenger ship of St. Paul's College. Logically speaking, there is no way for it to stop here."

Seeing the boy's expression getting more and more confused, Bai Cang couldn't help stretching out his hand, and tapped Mu Ye's forehead very lightly with his fingers: "So it can't be logically said that we have to use a magician's method to solve it."

It was only then that Mu Ye realized that the operation of the two passenger ships was actually maintained by the magicians of the academy.

As a seaport city, Tamar City is visited by ships of all sizes every day.But the reason why only people from St. Paul's College can open up the road to travel is because there are many unknown dangers in the distant and vast sea area.In addition to the possible difficulties at sea, the Holy Silver Country where St. Paul's College is located is not near the sea. If you want to reach the Holy Silver Country from the sea, you need entry permits from at least three countries along the way.If a person really wants to complete a long journey, he can only go around to a remote place like Mu Ye and spend a few months doing it.

If it wasn't for the shortened time this time and the start of school earlier, the preparatory students would not have been treated directly.With the help of St. Paul's College, the preparatory students in previous years chose different means of transportation to go to St. Paul's country by themselves according to the level of fees paid.This time, in order to hurry up, they specially sent two exclusive ferries from St. Paul's College.

After gathering at the pier, all the preparatory students were called again.After confirming that everyone was present, nearly [-] preparatory students were evenly divided into two parts according to the categories of warriors and magicians.Because of the small number of people, the animal trainers had more freedom to choose, so the two were assigned to the first ship together.

The tonnage of passenger ship No. 200 carrying more than [-] preparatory students has reached the order of hundreds, but even if the quantity is the most important, this ship is already a surprise enough for the preparatory students in Tamar City.

The voyage lasted more than one day, and all preparatory students were allocated rooms in units of two.Although there were a large number of people, the whole itinerary went very smoothly because of the reasonable arrangements and the deterrence that existed in the hearts of every preparatory student.At the same time that everyone received their room keys, the two giant ships had quietly set sail, gradually moving away from this seaside port town.

It was the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, and Mu Ye, who was waiting in line on the deck, glanced at the shore that was gradually moving away. The city with people coming and going slowly turned into a small blurred and gentle spot of light, he said silently in his heart goodbye.

Farewell is always silent.

The space utilization rate on the passenger ship is very high. Although the land occupied by various places is not luxurious, it is enough for more than 200 people.As night fell, the lights of the passenger ship lit up amidst the excited discussions of many preparatory students who were traveling for the first time.Everyone was divided into two groups, one part went to have dinner, and the other part went to find a room first.After waiting for an hour, the content of the itinerary of the two groups will be exchanged.

Because of the existence of Xingman, the two of them only brought two light backpacks with them, and they were not in a hurry to pack their luggage.They also happened to be assigned to the part that went to dinner first, and lined up to enter the main dining room of the passenger ship.

In the tidy auditorium, round stools were neatly placed beside three long square tables, and more than 100 preparatory students sat down one by one, filling the room to the brim.There is a high platform in front of the auditorium and a high platform in the back. A staff member of St. Paul's College stood on the high platform in front of him, waved his hand and exploded with a soft sound, attracting the attention of all the expectant students.

Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, this staff member appeared extremely calm.He said "Dinner" and said something in an unfamiliar language.

None of the preparatory students present understood what he said next.But before the staff finished speaking, a neat line of food trays "walked" in from the front and back doors, and then spontaneously divided into three teams and rushed to the three long strips. table.

The preparatory students were obviously frightened by these tableware that could walk on their own, and looked at each other in surprise.Mu Ye was also quite surprised, but Mr. Lan Jing reminded him: "Under the plate."

Mu Ye looked over carefully, and saw that all the dinner plates were kept at the same height, moving forward at a distance of nearly a palm from the ground.Some curious students couldn't help but bent over to look at it. Just when everyone was very curious, the dinner plate in the front row flew up in the direction of the long square table in a very stable posture.

"..."

There was no sound in the auditorium.

Following the movement of the first dinner plate, the rows of dinner plates in the back also began to follow the exact same trajectory to the table.Only then did the preparatory students clearly see that there was a small animal with a slightly transparent body under each dinner plate, and it was the actions of these little guys that brought the dinner to the square table in the auditorium.

The bodies of the little beasts are no more than the size of a fist, with a pair of fleshy wings on their backs. Apart from their brown skin, they look very similar to bats.But they also have thick limbs that bats don't have, powerful limbs that hold a full plate of food steadily.

Under the explanation of Mr. Blue Whale, Mu Ye learned the name of this bat-mutated animal—Dili Real Beast.

Judging from the name, they seem to be inseparable from being busy.Dili real beasts are very common helper animals, and they are also beasts that all major forces will train in large numbers.Although they can only make monotonous calls, they can understand all kinds of direct instructions after training.However, Dilly's IQ is not high, so most of the time it can only do some physical activities.

Presumably these Dili real beasts should be the property of St. Paul's College, so they will provide services to the preparatory students on the passenger ship.Mu Ye looked at the dinner plates neatly walking on the white cloth table. Like all the preparatory students, he was full of curiosity about these strange animals.

But it was obvious that the Dili beasts at this table did not execute according to the original plan.

The dinner plates of the other tables were moved from the end of the table to the top of the table one by one, and then the Dili beast would stop in front of the preparatory students and ask people to take the plates by themselves.But the Dili beasts at this table stopped in front of Mu Ye before reaching the end.

Mu Ye: "...?"

He confirmed that he was not mistaken, a pair of big round black eyes were revealed from under the dinner plate, looking at him expectantly.

From the first one, the subsequent plates all stopped at Mu Ye's table.Some Dili beasts who were blocked in the back even flew up directly, flying from the plate to Mu Ye, wishing to send the things directly to Mu Ye's mouth.

This, what's going on?

As the dinner plate paused, the preparatory students sitting at the long table also moved their eyes over. They were already paying attention to the real Dili beast, but now they focused all their scattered eyes on Mu Ye.In contrast, the dinner plates on the other tables were basically in place, but there was unexpected crowding of Dilly Beasts at this table, and even the attention of some teachers from St. Paul's College was attracted.

Just when Mu Ye was at a loss, Bai Cang, who was also involved in the plate congestion, suddenly reached out to take a plate.Afterwards, the man said something to the real Dili beast nearby in an unfamiliar language, and soon, the other real Dili beasts lined up again and walked towards the other preparatory students.

Bai Cang held the dinner plate in his hands all the time, and he put the dinner plate on the table when all the preparatory students at the table stood in front of a Dili real beast and everyone took over the plate together.

The person who delivered the plate to Mu Ye was a real Dili beast. It was strange that Mu Ye felt that he could understand the expression of the other party.After picking up the dinner plate, all the real Dilly beasts flew away from the square table together, but the one in front of Mu Ye made an imperceptible turn, rubbed lightly on the fingers of Mu Ye's right hand, and then satisfactorily settled down. flew away.

Bai Cang: "..."

There was a soft touch left on the back of the finger, and there were still many curious or puzzled gazes from around.Before Mu Ye could figure out what happened, he saw a mentor in a robe walking over.

But when he opened his mouth, he turned to Bai Cang: "Beast Tamer?"

Bai Cang got up from the round stool, and calmly said in the eyes of all the surrounding: "Yes."

The instructor hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen a beast tamer who makes Dilly so excited. You're very good."

Bai Cang nodded slightly, and greeted the other party: "Thank you for your compliment."

After the instructor finished speaking, he left, and the dinner that ended the small episode continued.However, while enjoying the food, Mu Ye could always notice the sight of Mr. Blue Whale.

Honestly...it's not a good feeling.

But obviously, Bai Cang, who made the limelight for others, didn't care about it. He even acted very naturally and gave his glass of fresh orange juice to the young man who unconsciously finished the juice when he first came up.

Mu Ye held the cup with both hands and took a sip, feeling a little more at ease in his heart.
