Chapter 177 Rawls's Scarecrow (Ⅰ)

After Qiao An finished reviewing "Introduction to Structural Science", it was already nine o'clock, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

At this time, the school cafeteria is closed.

Joan didn't want to waste time going to a small restaurant off-campus to eat, and he was also reluctant to spend money on supper, so he opened his backpack, took out the dry food he brought from home, took a few mouthfuls of cold water, filled his stomach casually, and continued Head down to copy the scroll.

When he wrote the last scroll into the spell book, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the moonlight shone on the desk through the only small window in the attic, adding a ray of light to the flickering oil lamp.

Joan yawned, suppressed his tiredness, packed up the stationery and books, and then fell on the bed like a corpse, feeling back pain.

Compared with physical fatigue, what is more difficult is the migraine caused by excessive use of the brain. The pain makes half of the face numb.

Joan had to put on a nightcap and cover his head, otherwise, even if the ends of his hair were gently blown by the cold air coming in through the window, it would cause a burst of neuralgia so intense that he wanted to die.

Joan lay on the bed enduring a headache, praying to the gods to bless him to fall asleep quickly, but he didn't want to show up in class tomorrow morning with two dark circles under his eyes.

When he had a headache, Joan habitually stroked the "life-support ring" on his finger, and his anxiety eased.

"As long as another five days pass, the magic power contained in this ring will be fully released. From then on, I only need to sleep for two hours a day to restore my energy and spell power, and I don't have to worry about headaches and insomnia caused by staying up late. "

This not-so-distant hope satisfied Joanne, and revived the feeling of happiness.

"Happiness" is the best painkiller in the world.

Joan now felt that the migraine was no longer unbearable, and fell asleep soundly with anticipation for tomorrow.

...

The main teaching building of Leiden College's Offal Branch looks like a double birthday cake filled with candles.

The first floor of the castle is a large classroom and conference hall, the second floor is a library, and the upper floor is a series of towers, like twelve towering candles, which are the exclusive laboratories of twelve arcane instructors.

The laboratory of Master Robert Rawls is located in the northeast corner of the castle, adjacent to the laboratory of Master Walter Lee.

The magical passage from the second floor of the castle to the tower is called the "wind ladder", which looks like a chimney pipe with a door and straight up and down. When visitors walk into the "wind ladder", they will find themselves in a In a small cylindrical room, there is actually an elevator cabin that can slide up and down along the pipe.

A wind element is detained under the floor of the lift cabin. When it senses someone coming in, it will turn into a whirlwind and push the lift cabin up until it reaches the exit of the tower.

At 7:30 on Thursday morning, Joan, Thomas and Edward met to go to Rawls's mentor's laboratory after breakfast.

Qiao An suggested to come to the laboratory half an hour earlier. First, he wanted to familiarize himself with the classroom, and second, he wanted to ask the instructor to answer the difficult questions he encountered when reviewing "Introduction to Structural Science" last night, so as not to take up the normal class time.

The three young mages all had great expectations for today's class, and excitedly came to the air ladder on the second floor.

Before entering the elevator cabin, Edward Gates checked the "Passenger Notice" listed in conspicuous fluorescent text on the bulkhead with his usual cautious attitude, and then said to Thomas and Joann: "The safe load limit of the air lift is only 1000 lbs, I weigh 105 lbs, how about you?"

Qiao An couldn't help being surprised that the weight of the general's son was lighter than it looked. He was more than six feet tall, but he only weighed 105 pounds, just like a stick!

With Edward's family background, it is impossible to lack nutrition. How could he be so thin?

It was inconvenient for Joan to inquire about Edward's privacy, so she hid her doubts in her heart and reported her weight: "88 pounds."

In fact, for his age and height, this weight seems on the thin side.

Thomas was between Joan and Edward in size, and his weight was not much lighter than the sum of the two of them. He scolded Edward angrily: "The three of us add up to less than half of the upper limit of the load. What's the use of asking such nonsense? Hurry up and go!"

The three of them walked into the "wind-moving ladder" one after another. Qiao An softly recited the activation spell marked on the "Passengers Need to Know", the door of the ladder closed slowly, and there was a tremor under the feet, and the high-speed airflow could be heard through the thick floor. The circling whistling sound.

The elevator cabin was driven by the wind and began to slide upwards. The initial ascent speed was very slow, and after a minute of acceleration, it became as fast as a gust of wind. Joan, who was riding this magic elevator for the first time, felt a little short of breath, as if his body had become weaker. Much heavier.

About a minute later, the pneumatic ladder switched to deceleration mode, and finally came to a standstill, the hatch opened by itself, and a stone corridor leading to the "Rolls Laboratory" appeared in front of Joan and the others.

The three of them walked out of the pneumatic ladder and walked along the corridor to the half-closed door of the laboratory.

Joan opened the door and went in, and saw the wooden golem Kino mopping the floor.

The wooden golem heard the sound of the door being pushed, and looked back.

Two cone-shaped blue lights radiated from the eye sockets of the wood carving. He first glanced at Joan, then at Edward and Thomas who came in later. The clockwork inside his body creaked and turned, as if checking the identity of the visitor. Afterwards, he grinned, showing a stiff but sincere smile, and bowed to the three of Joan.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

"Good morning, Chino, thank you for your hard work."

Joan nodded to the wooden golem, then turned and walked towards the laboratory hall.

The Rawls laboratory is divided into one large, four small and five rooms. The four small rooms are the storage room, the kitchen, and the study and dormitory of Rawls’ mentor. The large room is the hall where Joan is at the moment.

There is a blackboard on the wall directly opposite the door in the hall, and there are four consoles in the center. The larger one is only for the instructor to teach, and the three small lab tables in a row opposite each have brand-new name tags.

According to the name tag, Joan found the console that belonged to him. It was located on the far left by the window, the console in the middle belonged to Thomas, and the one on the far right had Edward's name tag on it. They were all properly arranged.

Joan stood in front of the operating table and found that there were many sundries on the tablecloth, including an oil lamp, a pile of wood, a bundle of straw, a large piece of rough and strong canvas, and a bamboo broom.

I opened the drawer and looked. In the drawer on the left was a bundle of wire, a box of screws, a bottle of superglue, a candle, and a set of paint boxes with seven colors; Woodworking tools, scissors, hammers, hand saws, planes, wire cutters, screwdrivers, etc. are all available.
