Greetings, Mister Principal: The Tempest of Erasmus
In the dark clouds, which were as thick as undissolved ink, little bits of thunder disappeared, and the low roars that followed were frightening.
Clouds containing abundant rain poured out, and heavy rain continued. If you look down at Erasmus from a high altitude at this time, you can see that the entire demiplane, which is not very large, is covered by dark clouds. This heavy rain is a storm that fills the entire world!
Heavy raindrops fell on the train windows, and the entire train was surrounded by banging sounds. For a moment, no one spoke, as if they did not dare to break the noisy silence.
Reiner turned around and looked at the star gate, only to see a silver ring looming in the rain. Only when lightning tore the sky apart could the full star gate be clearly seen.
Soon, Reiner's attention was attracted by the surrounding environment.
Everywhere you look, there is only green.
Low shrubs intertwined with towering trees, swaying in the strong wind. In the distance, the forest sea undulated like a black sea, with one wave after another. At first glance, it looked like a deep sea.
The lower part of the Star Gate is buried in the soil. You can see several houses near the Star Gate, but under the violent storm, these houses are crumbling and are alone.
The train continued to sway with the howling wind. Emilia looked solemn and tightened her grip on Reiner's hand again.
However, no matter what happened outside, the train continued to move forward, and finally, it stopped steadily inside a huge building.
This building is not far from the Star Gate. There are several trains parked inside, all of which have just returned from the storm and are full of water damage.
The high ceiling blocks the storm outside. Except for some rainwater coming in from the entrance and exit of the train, the world inside the building is isolated from the storm.
"Is this the rainy season of Erasmus?"
Reiner stepped off the train and looked at the raging rain on the open side of the building, feeling a little emotional.
“This rain will last for six months. During this period, the water level of the Erasmus river will rise significantly. Many areas will be submerged, forming flood zones, and even part of the Star Gate will be underwater.”
Agnes said that it was her first time coming to Erasmus, but she had obviously done enough homework before.
"So, these trees will be underwater for half the year?"
Liner glanced at the trees outside and could see that the lower parts of the taller trees were indeed in the water, as if they grew out of the lake, while the shorter shrubs had long since disappeared under the water. No trace.
So, these plants do need to develop special growth patterns to withstand being submerged in water for half a year.
"Yes, and in the dry season, Erasmus will be exposed to the sun for another half a year, and the water will gradually evaporate, condense into clouds, and eventually repeat the rainfall process."
Agnes nodded, looked at the time, and then said.
"It's almost time. Baptiste should be waiting for us."
Everyone went through the inspection of the Entry and Exit Management Center step by step, but this time it was more stringent. Obviously, compared to Sedna, the Erasmus demiplane has stricter management of species invasion.
After leaving the Entry-Exit Management Center and entering the lobby, Reiner realized something.
That's how they get out of here.
Through the window, you can see the strong wind and rain outside. The original road of Erasmus has been flooded, and it is even impossible to row a boat in this heavy rain climate.
So how do they leave this building in this climate?
But before Reiner could solve the problem, he saw a man in a black robe walking towards them in the hall.
This man has black hair, with only his temples pure white. He wears a pair of glasses. He looks about forty or fifty years old, but he does not appear depressed, but full of energy, with bright eyes. He is the first to He walked up to Agnes and stretched out his hand.
"This should be Lady Agnes Wildfell. She is indeed a mage with leadership qualities."
Agnes also recognized the other party, stretched out her hand to shake his hand, and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Baptiste is also very energetic. To be honest, if I had to face such heavy rain for six months, I might have gone crazy."
"Haha, compared to the thunderstorms in Fiona's demiplane, it's just drizzle here..."
The two exchanged a few words, and Agnes then introduced her colleagues and students to Baptiste. It was not until she pointed at Reiner that the expression on Baptiste's face changed slightly.
"Although I had heard about it before, I was still surprised when I actually saw him. I didn't expect him to be such a young mage."
Baptiste shook Reiner's hand and glanced at the symbol of his ring.
"I once read your treatise, which was quite inspiring."
Leiner also exchanged business compliments, and it didn’t cost anything to flatter him anyway.
"Everyone, please come with me."
Baptiste said, leading a few people not to the exit of the hall, but to a staircase.
“The climate of Erasmus is special. Let’s not talk about the dry season. Traveling in the rainy season is extremely troublesome, so we thought of other ways.”
The stairs lead to an elevator, and several people have gathered in front of it.
The elevator arrived at this level, and everyone walked in silently. Lena noticed that the elevator only had two floor options, the upper floor and the lower floor. The door was closed. The sound of the storm quickly disappeared, and a slight feeling of weightlessness enveloped Lena. Accept.
Ding Dong——
The elevator rang a bell and arrived at the destination.
According to Reiner's estimation, this should be an area about a hundred meters underground, and the storm has long been unable to affect it.
The elevator door opened, and a burst of noise occupied Reiner's ears again.
"What is this place?"
With such doubts~IndoMTL.com~, he stepped out of the elevator and saw a huge square in front of him.
The dome of this square is very high, similar to the demiplane of Sedna, and projects the sky. At first glance, it looks like a normal blue sky. People are coming and going in the square, and various buildings can be seen. The streets look like an underground city.
“The special environment of Erasmus makes it difficult to build ordinary houses. At the same time, in order to protect the natural ecology here, humans can only live underground, so there is such a structure, such underground cities and Four, this is the first city district, and my research institute is in the third city district."
Baptiste explained, pointing ahead.
"By the way, my research institute is not underground, but on the ground. Since we need to observe the creatures here, this is an observation outpost chartered by the Magic Association."
There is a station.
"We can take the intercity train there."
