Chapter 163 The Temple of Contemplation
Although the freshmen have only arrived on the other side of Emmenas this year, the school’s grades 2-5 have officially started, and today is the first day.
Lorran Hill stood in front of the dressing table to sort out her clothes. This morning was the opening ceremony of Temple College, and she also changed into the corresponding school uniform. If the city school mostly uses red and green as the main colors, then Temple College has black and white as the main colors.
Luo Xier wore a black and white dress today. This set of clothes is divided into two parts: inside and outside. The inside is a normal body-closing dress with a knee-length skirt. It is mainly black, with only the cuffs, shoulders and neck, and the edge of the skirt hem, which is composed of white fabric.
On the outside is a white robe with a hood, with wide cuffs and close to the bottom of the robe on the ground, covering the figure very tightly. The collar of the robe has complex and gorgeous golden patterns on the two long sides under the body, which gives people a feeling of solemnity and solemnity, like clothes worn by the ceremony host. In fact, most of the students who graduated from the temple will become clergy.
After putting on the clothes, the hood does not need to be pulled up for the time being. The silver hair is draped on the white robe with a gold-edged one. Luo Xier simply tied her hair up with a hairband, tied up the part behind her head, and then grabbed the butterfly hairpin before leaving.
On the way to the middle square of the college, you can see many freshmen wearing white or black robes, who are students in Angel Sequence and Necrotic Sequence.
The Temple Academy is not as poetic and picturesque as the City Village Academy, as the mountain towers full of cold wind like the High Tower Academy, nor is it as the military-strict style as the Bridge Pier Academy, but a fireworks and a distant atmosphere that is close to the lives of ordinary people.
Since there is a small town with tens of thousands of people to the west of Temple Academy, you can often see the school employees entering and leaving the gates here. Most of them are not extraordinary people, but ordinary people living here.
Occasionally, some carriages drove through the streets of the academy, and the carriages were loaded with a lot of grain and carriages. The carriage wheels ran over the stone streets and made a squeaking sound. These carriages came from merchant ships from the east and west, unloading goods at the port of the pier college, and then partly pulled to the town here to supply people's lives.
If you climb to the highest Star Cathedral in the college, and stand on the steps in front of the church, you can easily overlook the entire college.
A long high wall separates the inside of the college from the town outside the wall. You can see smoke rising from the town, people coming and going, and many people are hawking things in various stalls and shops. The purchasers include students, tourists coming here, and some little nobles.
There is a long queue in front of the gate of the college. Most of them are ordinary people who enter the school to work and are passing the inspection in an orderly manner. The inspectors will review the badges on their chests and simply register the numbers on the badges.
There are students coming and going inside the high wall. They are wearing black and white robes. There are not many people talking to each other, and most of them are quieter.
Luo Xier walked into the interior of Starlight Cathedral, and at this time some of the students had already arrived in advance. They sat in groups of three or three on the row of chairs in the church, some were whispering, while others seemed to know each other and were surprised that they came to the same academy as themselves.
The interior of the church is very spacious, and even if the ground is full of people, it can only fill one-tenth of the space. The high dome makes people feel extremely empty. The morning sun shines in through the colorful glass windows, forming mottled seven-color sparse shadows on the ground and on the rows of chairs.
This was also the first time Loshir entered the cathedral inside Emmenas. She also looked around curiously. The ground was delicate blue-gray marble, the walls and the stone pillars inside were light golden, and the dome was exquisite murals, telling the scenes of the Chaos and Disaster War, including angels, demons, elves, dragons, knights, mages, skeletons, water monsters, etc. The enemy was a twisted shadow, which turned into various strange appearances to fight, and the battlefield was also in various places.
The scene on one of the murals is very vivid. It is on the river covered with dark blue pigments. A majestic and straight bridge spans the two sides. The lower left corner of the bridge is a crowded flesh and blood figure. They seem to be wailing, rushing towards one side of the bridge in a mess. The upper right corner of the bridge is a tightly-standing knight, holding spears and shields, wearing exquisite armor. The sky seems to be shrouded in black clouds, and only a small amount of light is sprinkled out in the gap. An angel with golden red wings flew over the knights, and the cross sword in his hand is burning with flames ready to swing, as if shouting something.
On the city tower at the bridge, elves with pointed ears pulled their bows and arrows, and the green light condensed on the arrows. A huge octopus floated out of the water in the river in the lower right. On its head was a half-human and half-fish singer, who seemed to be singing. In the upper left corner of the picture, there were a few ethereal black dots. Judging from its wings, it seemed to be dragons.
This painting should tell the famous "Bridge Guarding the Bridge" in the chaos, Lorran Hill guessed, but what is strange is that the bridge is different from now. There are not a small number of spaced stone pillars under the bridge, but densely erected fences, which seem to be to isolate the river and filter it. Only the middle part is very tall and can be pulled up and allowed to pass by the river boat.
When she reached the position of the class she belonged to, Lolan Hill sat down quietly and waited. Since there were not many people who knew this identity, only a small number of classmates from Class 1 or Class 2 would say hello to her when they saw her.
About half an hour passed, and the second-grade freshmen gradually arrived and slowly filled the front seats. On the left was a unified white gold-edged robe, and on the right was a unified black silver-edged robe. The original 1,200 freshmen were assigned to the Temple Academy about 300, not too many, and there were not too many. Among them, the angel sequence was close to 200, and the undead sequence may not have 100.
As the agreed time came, some tutors from the Temple Academy also entered the venue one after another and sat in the empty seat behind the right.
First, the college principal wearing a close-fitting white robe, wearing a tall crown and hat, she stepped onto the podium.
"Welcome to the Temple of Meditation."
There was a burst of applause from the audience. The college president seemed to be in his thirties and spoke unhappy, but it made people feel very comfortable and clearly written.
"I believe many students have learned about the styles of each college when choosing a college. If other colleges are not mentioned, the style and philosophy of Temple College are to pursue spiritual peace and peace, so that everyone can accept this real world, an imperfect world," he said.
"I dare not say that everyone will be rich and prosperous after graduation, but at least on the road of life, you will regret less and be more calm."
"Life and death, the world of the world that is even more ancient and absolutely equal, will unfold one by one before you."
"In the journey of life, sometimes people will be too entangled in their own emotions and fall into various confusions and confusions. I believe everyone will have this kind of experience to a greater or lesser extent."
"When you are hesitating and struggling, you can raise your head a little, look at the people and things around you, and then look at the lives and experiences recorded in the cemetery."
"Many things do not happen for the first time, but are repeated in the world, birth, growth, marriage, choice, suffering, achievement, aging, death, etc. When you stretch your eyes to the arc of life, you will find that many troubles are not worth mentioning, and your life is not just your life, but the result of the joint action of different lives in this world."
"After slowly seeing this world, I think everyone will have less useless sorrow and anxiety, but will face it more calmly and work harder."
"In this way, when I am old and near death, I can say without regret. This is my experience, my choice, and my life."
