"Xuexue, go wash your hands." Yan Beizhai ordered.

"But, the little grandma said she would practice 20 pieces." Yan Yingxue looked at the woman and said seriously.

"Haha, I don't need it today." Yan Beizhai said considerately. Yan Yingxue cheered, threw down her pen and ran towards the bathroom. Not many children of this age can really sit still.

The woman hurriedly followed.

Perhaps because he was frightened by Yan Yingxue's name "Little Grandma", Zuo Lin was stunned.

Yan Beizhai said a little embarrassedly: "Her name is Ye Yilan. She is a Chinese painting. My girlfriend has known each other for several years. The sons don't object, and Xuexue also likes her very much. Maybe we will get married next year."

I have never heard of the old couple. Yan Beizhai, who is nearly 90 years old, can't tell that he is that old except that his hair has turned silvery, and his physical condition may be better than that of some ordinary 4 or 50-year-olds. But no matter what, he is almost 60 years old and Ye Yilan, who looks about 30 years old. If it weren't for Yan Beizhai's marriage very late, Yan Yingxue would be at least at this age now. Zuo Lin wisely did not say anything.

Yan Beizhai took out a huge envelope from the drawer under the coffee table, pulled out a stack of snow-white prints from the envelope, and pushed it in front of Zuo Lin. Looking at the line of shallow text on the first page of paper, Zuo Lin hurriedly took the stack of things.

"This was something that I only arrived yesterday, sent by the Druid Parliament headquarters. This is the first time I have received such a document in so many years. Regarding confirming your identity, confirming your teacher-teacher relationship with Mr. Sun, and confirming your ability level. Then your position should be arranged according to the routine. The person who came to give you an exam this time is still an acquaintance." Yan Beizhai said it was quite satisfying. Indeed, Yan Beizhai, who had been named a contact person in the Parliament China for decades, but had only received overseas friends who had transited and visited China for inspection and service. This was not good. Now, Zuo Lin's appearance, coupled with the fact that Mr. Sun was still alive, was immediately different.

The Druid Council has a long history, but its internal system is not complicated. The entire organization is divided into two levels: internal and external. The inner layer is fully confirmed Druid, while the outer layer is mostly apprentices and Druid servants who have been partially trained and unable to pass the formal assessment. Some are people who join the common cause as friends, etc. The inner layer adopts a semi-family system to maintain internal inheritance and activity. Usually, Druid will introduce his children or students to his friends very early, and bring them around to familiarize themselves with the affairs they manage, and learn how to deal with various situations. When Druid grows older and his strength gradually declines, his children or students will inherit his position. The inner layer members are harmonious and close to each other, like a big family.

However, outer members rarely understand inner affairs. They usually only know about one region or one aspect of things. For example, as a contact person, all they can know is the people within the organization he has come into contact with, and at most they know are inner members and outer members. Even if the outer members follow the inner members to participate in certain actions, they cannot know the positions of inner members. Yan Beizhai still does not know the positions of Mr. Sun in the organization, but only judging from the degree of importance everyone attaches to Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun must be a more important figure in the organization.

Although he was young, Zuo Lin was indeed a druid who had been fully guided by Mr. Sun. However, since Mr. Sun could not introduce Zuo Lin to the organization in accordance with the organization's tradition, he had to arrange the review of his identity and the test of his abilities. Once the identity was confirmed, the position that Mr. Sun had abandoned would be inherited by Mr. Sun, and the responsibilities borne by this position would gradually be transferred from the person who served in the same position over the years to Zuo Lin.

And that stack of files is explaining such a process.

What Mr. Yan knows is only part of the content mentioned in these documents. Basically, except for the previous introduction, Mr. Yan can't understand the main content afterwards.

There are two sets of writing systems within the Druid Council. These two sets of writing systems are derived from ancient Celtic language and have been formed after hundreds of years of improvement and accumulation. The two sets of alphabetical characters are so complex that they are almost impossible to decipher. One of them is used to describe the basic environment and rules of the world, called the General Druid language. Due to the rapid changes in the world, this set of languages ​​has been continuously expanded and changed. Over the past few hundred years, countless new nouns and proper nouns have been added, but they still cannot keep up with the changes of the times. After all, it takes a while for a super obscure language to adapt to the world. Now, in order to avoid misunderstanding many problems, bilingual interpretations of general Druid language and English are often used. Yan Beizhai, who had not even finished the introductory courses of this set of languages, knew the general content of these documents through these English.

Another set is a more complex language that combines the characteristics of hieroglyphs and letters. Since this set of languages ​​is usually used to describe the natural world, describe organisms and environments, and to establish the rules of the use of the basic natural forces of the Druid world, and to classify the basic abilities into various types of spells, this set of languages ​​is therefore called the Druidian. The spelling method of the Druidian is not a simple spelling, but a combination of overlapping and spelling. Overlay is equivalent to using different radicals in Chinese to form new characters. However, the reading is based on spelling.

The object described is relatively complex and cannot be overlapped with 3 letters, two or more overlapping letters can be used. The spell Druid language may not be a language suitable for modern life, but is the most efficient language used to describe this natural life. Describing any form of creature, even the growth environment and health status of such creatures, never any creature needs more than 5 letters. If this language system is not suitable for describing the characteristics of things, just considering it from the pronunciation and font shape, this may be one of the most beautiful languages ​​in the world.

The Druyi language of the spell can only be taught to the tested druyi. In addition to the first few pieces of paper, most of the contents written in the Druyi language of the spell. This itself is an assessment of Zuo Lin's identity. These contents are also very important, including the assessment items and standards, as well as the abilities evaluation steps of the assessment subjects, etc. The Druyi language of the spell is too complicated. Although Zuo Lin is very familiar with this language, it still takes a lot of time to read such a large piece. However, after reading it, Zuo Lin found it a bit fun. When did this ancient organization become so trendy?

Let’s not talk about the obvious traces of design in this stack of files, and the layout is exquisite, which is very suitable for reading. The fonts of these common and spell terms have been specially designed, which is very different from the kind that Mr. Sun had shown him casually. Just talking about these assessment items, labeling, etc. of Druid abilities, the Tie Chen is so clear that it respects people. It can remind Zuo Lin to the various regulations and indicators sent to everyone by the club.

At the end of the document is the name of the examiner. What Yan Beizhai can see is the English pronunciation below the name. Zuo Lin pays attention to the name itself. Since there may be several ways to represent a syllable with the same pronunciation, the name itself is very telling. Looking at the name formed by the two overlapping letters: "Insula", Zuo Lin knew that this examiner was an excellent and experienced animal master.

After putting down the document, Zuo Lin said with some concern: "Old Yan, are you familiar with this Insula?"

Mr. Yan nodded and said, "Insula is probably the druid with the most activity at present. Basically, he will come to China every two to three years, and searching for Mr. Sun is also the most active. Mr. Sun's last appearance was Shanghai. He always comes to Shanghai to search for clues again and remark all the confirmed clues. He has dealt with him several times and is a good person."

Zuo Lin said: "This Insula should be very strong, and I'm a little worried that I can't pass the assessment."

In recent years, Zuo Lin people have been gradually growing and developing, and their physical fitness has not stopped training. Just talking about physical fitness is much better than when they moved to Shanghai. However, Druid's abilities are relatively small, and if Zuo Lin's expertise is also in animals, then physical fitness may be useful. However, unfortunately, Sun is the leading plant master in the entire council, and almost all his energy is devoted to development and planting.

The ability of objects and spells has been used. Zuo Lin also has a very strong knowledge and ability in this area. However, the ability to prefer the plant system is to accumulate natural power more and faster and improve the ability in all aspects, a lush environment is needed. The original forests were already very difficult in the eyes of Mr. Sun. After arriving in Shanghai, there were indeed many farmland, greenhouses and concentrated green spaces, but these are not places for cultivation. Compared to three years ago, I am afraid that the power in this area will be regressed.

In addition, it is because the system taught by Mr. Sun is very special. People who practice the abilities of this system will have a long lifespan and have a longer time to practice and accumulate abilities. People like Mr. Yan who are not even introductory can live to be 90 years old and still have good health, which shows that accordingly, Zuo Lin, who is less than 20 years old, will definitely not be able to accumulate.

"This..." Yan Beizhai was stunned for a moment and said, "As long as the identity is checked, it seems that it doesn't matter? Is the passing criteria mentioned in the document?"

Although Yan Beizhai has no understanding of the inner level assessment, he has common sense as a business manager after all.

"This is not." Zuo Lin suddenly realized that confirming identity and assessing ability are two different things. Anyway, Zuo Lin doesn't want any position in the Druid Council now, and it is not a problem for him whether the Druid Council will join. Anyway, he is a student of Teacher Sun, so this is irrefutable, which is enough.

After relaxing, Zuo Lin said: "Old Yan, before I came just now, I was studying the technical issues of the greenhouse with Professor Yu's students, but there was no result yet. I promised them to turn around and finish the matter with them. If you have nothing to do, wouldn't it..."

"Xuexue is waiting for you to take her to play." Old Yan gave up Zuo Lin's idea of ​​going back to help Lin Jinghua answer questions.

Yan Yingxue heard her grandfather mention her name, holding a small blue apple from the restaurant and asked in a slight voice: "Grandpa, Brother Zuo Lin, have you agreed? Grandpa, you said that you would let Brother Zuo Lin take me to play today."

What else can I say when facing such a cute little girl? I don’t know when to prepare for the Druid Parliament in the future, nor how to conduct the assessment. I think I will start to regain my high school studies that are already unfamiliar to Zuo Lin, and think about the club’s schedule for the League Cup that is becoming more and more closely linked from the next round, Zuo Lin feels that it is very necessary to relax a little today.

So, after eating a little in the apartment, Zuo Lin let Yan Yingxue pull him around and run wildly throughout the afternoon. Naturally, the quiet and loyal Jin Xiaohua was always following him.

The mobile phone that Zuo Lin needs is naturally chosen by Xuexue, who is familiar with her. In return, Zuo Lin also gave Xuexue a plush toy that is about the same size as hers. Zuo Lin didn't know the little girl's preferences very well. But Yan Yingxue was too obvious. After seeing that thing in the mall, Yan Yingxue almost rushed over and hugged her. Yan Yingxue just liked such a cute big guy. She originally wanted to blackmail her grandfather to buy it for herself after she went home, but since her brother Zuo Lin, whom she liked, wanted to buy it for her, she would not refuse it firmly.

One afternoon, the pink minicooper almost ran half of Shanghai. While gradually understanding the city, Zuo Lin discovered that the city was not so monotonous and stereotyped. Although the large artificial green spaces on the east and west were so deliberate, it did add a lot of green to the city. In these greens, there are various vitality that have not been noticed. Perhaps only Druids like Zuo Lin can easily discover these.

Above this city, although there are well-trained square pigeons and sparrows looking for food everywhere, there are also gray magpies, swifts and other figures that are not so harmonious with the urban environment; behind the wet and smooth stones, there are snakes; when stray cats and stray dogs are joking around the food they placed, Zuo Lin even grabbed a young red fox from the corner who was timid and afraid to approach; in the flower beds and bushes that seem less neat, many seeds brought by birds and monsoons take root and sprout, and grow very well... Although the city has destroyed the original pastoral and woodland, the city cannot destroy all these lives. These lives have gradually integrated into the city's ecology and the rhythm of the city, and become part of the city.

Feeling all this, Zuo Lin has more confidence in his future. He knows that there are always these lovely and free lives around him.
