The swing frame is built next to the fountain, and on such a hot summer night, the campus seems silent, except for the crisp chirping of insects on the grass not far away.I walked slowly and slowly, for fear of ruining the beautiful picture of harmony in front of me.At that time, Ying Li was sitting on the swing, wearing a black and white magic robe, a braid pulled up to her chest, and a pair of bare feet naturally stretched into the cool fountain, as if she was not for washing her feet, but just playing in the water casually.She gently patted the shallow stream with her two bare feet, splashing a string of splashes, and patting her couldn't help but laugh.At this time, I couldn't help but laugh as I kept walking slowly towards her.I don't know if my laughter alarmed her, Ying Li suddenly raised her head and stared deeply at me, and at the moment when she raised her head, a heavy magic book in her hand fell to the ground, and there was a curved bright moon in the silent void, and the snow-white moonlight shot obliquely over, illuminating her innocent smile and beautiful face, which was very clear and moving.I sat down on a stone platform by the fountain, which shimmered and reflected the shadows of the two of us.Flustered but slightly embarrassed, she picked up the magic book and sat down on the swing while the two of us remained silent, staring at the bright night sky.I don't know how long it took to be so quiet, Ying Li suddenly raised his head, and his bright eyes were a little more bright."
What a stingy person!"
She pursed her lips slightly, pouting a little distressedly.I turned my head to look at her in amazement and whispered, "Me?
”She seemed a little embarrassed by me, but she always met my gaze, looked at me, and said without backing down: "I've been sitting here waiting for you for so long, you come over, at least say hello to me first!"
”The willful appearance of the girl next door was perfectly interpreted by Ying Li at this moment.I touched my forehead a little speechlessly, and said a little embarrassed: "I really can't bear to spoil this beautiful picture, just now I was worried that you were still angry with me, I was still thinking about what topic to talk about to please you, but I just came out of the Yerkes scholar, and now my mind is full of magic patterns, even if I look at this sparkling water surface now, I feel that the layers of silver scale-like lines reflected on the water surface are all wonderful magic patterns!"
”"Huh!"
Ying Li was amused by me and laughed heartily, she is a girl who loves to laugh, a pair of eyes are always like two crooked moons, when she laughs, there are two deep dimples on her face, her eyebrows and eyes are not too beautiful, at most she can only be regarded as a delicate girl, but her quiet and elegant temperament is not what any beautiful girl can have."
You're so annoying, you always like to tease people like this!"
Ying Li covered his lips with his round white little hands and said with a slight snort.I didn't make any excuses, just looked at the void in front of me, and there was a trace of the moist breath of the water element condensed on the tips of my fingers, which was next to the fountain, and the breath of the water element was extremely strong, and I could easily borrow the water element from the air around me.The ultimate true meaning of many high-level magic skills lies in mobilizing the magic elements in the body to draw a complex magic pattern array, and using these magic pattern arrays to resonate with the surrounding magic elements, and can borrow the huge magic elements between heaven and earth, which is the so-called high-level magic contained in the laws of heaven and earth.It's just that we, who have just become magic apprentices, can't appreciate these deep things at this time.The reason why I can have so many insights tonight is because of a long conversation with Yerkes throughout the afternoon, and the Yerkis scholars saw that I had no intention of going to the imperial capital with him to study, so they wanted to systematically explain to me some of the magical theories that I can understand at the moment while I am still in the city of El.This afternoon's conversation is to introduce me to some basic structure of advanced magic, the most primitive form of the magic pattern, and the evolution of the magic pattern.Seeing the sparkling water pool, for a moment I seemed to be able to understand what the scholar Yerkes wanted to express to me, the textures on the surface of the water were like the cloud patterns in some water magic, I stretched out my fingers, as if I was enchanted, and drew an unusually smooth magic line in the air in front of me, and those smooth lines intertwined in the air to form a magical web.The perception of this moment made me use the water magic element to draw a strange spider web pattern in the air, Ying Li sat beside me at this time, and covered his mouth in surprise, trying to make himself try not to make any sound, but for my strange performance, it still frightened her.For us magic apprentices, we can touch some elementary magic skills, but many advanced magic skills, we can hardly grasp their true essence, which makes it difficult for us to learn advanced magic in the early stage.The reason for this is nothing more than that high-level magic requires more mana, more spiritual power, more elemental affinity, more skilled techniques for drawing magic patterns, and so on.And my performance at this moment is already beyond the scope of ordinary magical knowledge, because the spider web composed of tiny ice silk between my fingers happens to be the magic pattern that I drew at random, but according to my thoughts, a strange ice silk spider web actually appeared."
Jia, what is this?"
Ying Li asked me with a surprised look on his face at this moment.Ying Li is a magic apprentice who has all kinds of magic books, but she doesn't know what the magic pattern circle I drew is, but it seems that this mysterious magic pattern circle has become a magic skill.Many people think that the path that Ying Li will take in the future is the path of a Jerkis scholar, and become a knowledgeable magician, which is directly related to the fact that she likes to soak in the library all day and does not like to meditate."
If I say I don't know, will you think I'm perfunctory to you?"
I turned to look at her with a wry smile on my face.Due to my slight distraction from talking, I couldn't continue to inject my water magic, the spider web composed of countless ice threads did not float steadily in front of me at this moment, like a huge snowflake fell into the fountain in front of me, those ice crystal-like magic lines loomed in the night, if there was no moonlight reflection, it would be difficult for me to see it clearly, the moment this crystal clear ice crystal spider web fell into the pool, a huge spider web-shaped six-pointed star-shaped ice ridge suddenly condensed on the water surface.Ying Li and I were stunned by the scene in front of us, who would have thought that the ice silk cobwebs that were still less than a foot square just now, looming in the air, and then fell into the pool, suddenly swelled tenfold, blocking the water surface of the entire fountain, and the strange cold water elemental power condensed into an arm-thick icicle in the water, and countless sharp spikes were born on the surface of the icicle.Ying Li muttered to himself: "I used to think that you gave up your fire magic talent and chose to learn the water magic talent skills is not a wise move, but now I realize that I am very wrong, and the person who knows you best is yourself after all, Jia, your ice magic is really powerful!"
”Huge ice ridges float in the fountain, finally cooling off the hot summer nights.Ying Li exhaled a long breath, stared at the icicles in the pool, and said with some embarrassment: "Jia, you're not angry with me!"
”"Angry?
Why be angry with you?
”I looked at her in amazement, and said in my heart: I want to spoil you before it's too late, how can I be angry with you?
She didn't hesitate to see me speak, and gave me a sweet smile."
Because in the morning, I said a word about you, and then I went to the classroom with Nichols, and I don't know what happened to me!"
Ying Li said to me in a review.I didn't know how to comfort her, so I paused to organize my language before saying, "That's normal!"
”She looked up at me in bewilderment, I looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and then said: "That's because you and I are originally people living in two worlds, and our living habits and temperaments, personalities, upbringing, and values are very different, and these problems will slowly become prominent in the process of us getting along with each other. ”"I don't think there's any difference between the two of us!"
Ying Li eagerly argued.I smiled and shook my head, and continued: "You are a nobleman who has lived in a gorgeous palace since you were a child, and you have lived a life of fine clothes and food since you were a child, although you always complain about the unsatisfactory childhood, but in general, you are a princess who grew up with a golden spoon in your mouth, and you have received a good aristocratic education since you were a child, and you came to study at the magic academy in El City to be able to sharpen yourself. ”Her eyes flashed wide, and she posed as a grievance that she was born into an aristocratic family and it wasn't my fault.I put my finger on my chest and said self-deprecatingly, "And I, on the other hand, am a wandering wild child who has lived with orcs in caravans since I was a child, and I have suffered a lot in order to survive.I've been trying to learn something more useful to protect myself, and I've learned how to hunt, like tracking a herd of bison in the wild, killing a demon antelope by a pool, and killing a wind wolf in the wasteland.I've learned how to make leather, I can even peel off a fine cowhide into three layers of leather, I've read some orc books, I've learned about magical herbs, and I've even killed grey dwarf bandits on the way to death in the northern wastelands. ”Ying Li bit his lip with his teeth and defended himself in a low voice: "I don't care about this!"
”I shook my head, paused and said to her, "Of course I do!"
”That's right, a girl who is willing to work hard to make herself appear more ordinary for my sake certainly doesn't care about my previous experiences.I continued: "If it weren't for Ryan and they took me in, maybe I would be no different from the poor kids in the slums outside the city, maybe I would have been exhausted for a living, maybe I would have picked up briquettes in the slums." ”Ying Li may have thought of the miserable appearance of me picking up briquettes in the slums, and his face became ugly.All at once I stepped on the ice floating in the pool, not so much on the edge of the ice, but on the magic of walking on the water, I was floating on the water.I crouched in front of her, my hands on her soft knees, and looked at her up close.She was like a fawn, a little flustered, and she looked around with her eyes at a loss, but the entire laboratory building was quiet, only the laboratories above the third floor were lit up all night.She was supposed to be looking for Helena, and every time I wanted to kiss her, she would run away from her.The whole fountain was like a flat floor to me, and I even sat down comfortably on the surface of the water and continued to say to her: "You know, I grew up in caravanserans, and my enlightenment teacher was an old orc who knew some medical skills, and I only knew how to collect herbs all day long in order to preserve the maximum magic power of herbs.But I don't know the etiquette of those nobles, I only know who are my friends and who are my enemies, and I have to treat my friends with barbecue and wine, and my enemies can only be bows and arrows and spears. ”In the end, I concluded, "So, the two of us are like people living in two worlds, but it's the hub of the Academy of Magic that brings us together.That's why you're so angry in the morning, and I don't think I've done anything wrong, and I'm just stupidly thinking that if I didn't beat him up so much that he didn't even know his parents, it would be very merciful.If it is an orc in the wasteland, the only way to treat their rivals is their fists, and whoever has a hard fist will win the favor of the orcs. ”"But fists can't solve everything!
Now that you've become a magician nobleman, you always have to take care of your own decency!
”Ying Li cautiously rolled his eyes and looked at me."
Isn't there a duel between nobles!"
I say."
But you don't need a duel at all, because even if Nichols wins, he won't change anything, and I won't give up.So in that case, why do you have to fight a duel?
”Ying Li has her own ideas.At this time, I suddenly realized that Ying Li was so angry in the morning, in fact, because he saw that I was going to duel with Nichols, and thought that I regarded Nichols as his rival, which was clearly a distrust of Win Li, which was the root cause of Win Li's anger.In fact, if I had treated Nichols as air at the time and ignored his existence, this would have been a more tasteful approach for the nobles, at least not lethal, and the means would have been a little more elegant.Thinking about this, my heart is much happier.I looked up and saw that it was already late, so I said, "It's so late, I'd better send you home first!"
”When Ying Li heard me say this, he readily agreed.I stood up and jumped out of the pool to walk outside the academy, Win behind me, scrambling to put on his cool leather shoes and get up.She suddenly said to me behind me, "Jia, when I was looking through this magic book for a few days, I found a cure for demonization!"
”I was screamed excitedly by Ying Li's sudden words, and on this quiet night, my cheers pierced far away.
