Vol 2 Chapter 182: 18 Gama Street

Although the place where Augustus and Zheng Qing agreed to meet is called the lounge, this is just a humble rhetoric.
In Zheng Qing's eyes, this is a luxurious mansion villa.
This lounge is located on Gamma Street.
In the first university, there are two places named ‘Gamma’.
One is the Gamma House in Beta Town, where it is said that an old fortune teller lives in the building; the other is Gamma Street in Alpha Castle.
Different from the structure of the front hall, atrium, and backyard of Jiuyou Academy, Alpha Castle is centered on the main building and divided into two parts: the inner court and the outer court.
The inner court includes classrooms, laboratories, astrology towers and other teaching facilities, as well as dormitories, offices, and small lounges for students and professors.
The outer courtyard covers a petting garden, herbal garden, alchemy room, school workers’ wing rooms, and many independent courtyard villas.
Gama Street is located in Alpha Outer Court.
This street surrounds the main castle for a week. The pavement is paved with huge polished bluestone slabs. On both sides, there are many old olive trees growing in Panzhiqiu.
The buildings on both sides of the street are different.
On the side close to the outer courtyard wall, there are mostly gardens and wing rooms that belong to the school working committee; and at the foot of the tall inner court wall are a neat row of silver-gray mansions.
The ‘territory’ of the hemophilia is located in this row of mansions.
18 Gama Street.
This is where Augustus and Zheng Qing agreed to meet.
In Zheng Qing's imagination, a room the size of a living room of 100 square meters is already very luxurious as a lounge for students. But this kind of thinking obviously underestimates the persistence of certain powerful and long-established organizations or families to reputation.
For example, the Hemophilia, YPO, Monteria family, Black family, O'Brien family, Zhongshan Jiang family, etc., they are different from those small families that occasionally have talented members.
For generations of these organizations or families, members have entered the Alpha Academy to practice and study. Over time, they have established a strong bond with the Academy.
The node of the bond is these silent mansions outside the inner court walls.
Because of the different preferences of the owners, these silver-gray mansions were built into different styles.
For example, the residence of the O'Brien family is the Byzantine style of the dome minaret, the residence of the Black family is the exquisite and gorgeous rococo style, and the residence of the Jiang family in Zhongshan is the black tile white wall, simple and elegant Huizhou style.
Compared with these ancient families, the hemophilia's residence seems a little more regular and unscrupulous.
This is more like a great hall.
Outside the hall, like other mansions, there are neatly manicured and clean nursery lawns, among which are placed several simple and elegant sculptures, including horsemen with bows and arrows, samurai with swords, and vibrations. Angel with wings to fly.
Across the entrance courtyard is a row of slender and beautiful Ionic stone pillars, bearing a pair of iconic scroll decorations, and several layers of neatly stacked foundation stones.
A brass sign hung on the stone pillar in the center.
The words "Hemophilia Club" are engraved in swashes on it.
Below the name, a few rows of smaller descriptions are engraved:
"Founded by the Duke of Monteria in the third year of Wuli Yuanbao"
‘The first (Augustus) was promoted to the Great Wizard within two years of graduation and is known as the Dragon Slayer in the world’
...
‘Members Only’
Due to time constraints, Zheng Qing did not carefully read the instructions on the bronze medal, but went straight across the row of Ionic pillars and came to the gate of the mansion.
There is a water curtain in the hall, pouring down from the roof, silent and cool.
Standing in front of the water curtain, Zheng Qing's face was clearly reflected under the reflection of light.
"There are visitors!"
A line of small characters curled up by waves suddenly appeared in the water curtain:
"Please show the invitation letter."
Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled out the gray cloth bag, and found the white invitation letter Augustus sent him from it.
The mist filled Zheng Qing's right hand holding the card.
"Augustus issued it, please come in."
The handwriting rolled out by the waves gradually disappeared, and the water curtain quickly drew back to both sides, leaving a doorway high and low, leaving only the gurgling spring water at the bottom of the feet, like a threshold.
Zheng Qing hesitated for a second, crossed the threshold of water, and walked in.
The water curtain behind him slowly closed, covering the inside and outside again.
Melodious music flowed out, lingering around Zheng Qing.
The servant in a white robe greeted the young public-sponsored student, followed the corridor and led him to the depths of the lobby.
The decoration on the first floor is like a church.
There are gorgeous murals painted on the high walls all around, and the sunlight shines through the colorful glass, leaving a cloud of faint spots on the ground. The color in the lobby is uncertain, which makes people feel a lot nervous.
At the end of the tunnel, there is a tall lectern.
On the table is a table with three wooden legs.
The guests stood quietly at the table, waiting in line.
Everyone has been baptized by this table.
A tall priest wearing a white vestment stood behind the table, holding a black classic in his hand, with a solemn expression and serious tone, praying for each guest:
"Jenny Penn, the second year of the first university, Atlas College, a subject of Druid."
"We pray for your soul."
"Qian Wen, the third year of the First University, the Star Academy, the descendant of East Lake Great Wizard Qian Miao."
"We pray for your soul."
"Louis Coty, the second year of the First University, Alpha College, heir to Coty Manor."
"We pray for your soul."
Zheng Qing followed the team slowly moving forward and heard the quiet conversation of several guests behind him.
"How does it sound like mass for the dead?" a shrill voice asked in a low voice.
"It's to pray for the dead." Another voice ostentatiously explained: "The hemophilia advocating talents. Everyone who walks into this hall has a proud family history. That blessing is mainly for giving us talents. Pray for the dead."
"These rituals are relatively easy to accept in Atlas... Why do they appear in Alpha!"
"It can't be so absolute. Although Alpha's religious atmosphere is not as strong as Atlas, it still advocates faith."
"The magical world... I always thought that Alpha Academy only looked at the level of talent!"
"...How can there be such an absolute thing."
After listening to these conversations, Zheng Qing came to the white-robed priest in no time.
The priest lowered his eyelids~EbookFREE.me~ his eyes fell on Zheng Qingda's red Jiuyouyuan robe.
"Invitation letter." His voice was somewhat blunt and impatient.
Zheng Qing immediately handed over the white card.
"Lord Augustus' invitation letter?" The priest was stunned, and a gentle smile appeared on his face immediately: "Your Excellency is resting in the coffee break on the third floor."
With that said, he returned the invitation letter to Zheng Qing.
"Zheng Qing, a freshman in the first university, Jiuyou College, a public student."
While singing softly, the priest in white stretched out and dipped them in a transparent liquid on the table:
"We pray for your soul."
Two fingers nodded on Zheng Qing's forehead, and a refreshing feeling spread over his body.
Like a cold drink poured in one breath in the dog days, Zheng Qing immediately noticed that his spirit became more active almost instantly.
