In the middle of summer, it was dark late, the scorching sun had already set below the horizon, disappeared into the blue sky, the evening without wind was still so hot, so hot that people felt panicked, a black cat squatted on the buttress in the corner, its eyes glowing pale green in the dim night.Tracy walked out of the house in a short battle skirt in light leather armor, a sleeveless vest in rhinoceros skin, a pair of ice blue deerskin boots on her feet, and a big wavy curly hair, which she clearly did not want to go to the ball.She had a Western sword hanging from her waist, and I wondered if she was wearing such a costume on such a hot night for a hunting event.Tracy, who is about to graduate, really needs an observation note for a field experience, I haven't heard that she has found a suitable team recently, I have already said that this summer we will follow Benjamin's team to the Ziqing Mountains to explore, this time should not go out for this matter.Tracy looked at me in a strange way, and I looked down at myself with some weakness, and saw that there was nothing wrong, and for a moment I didn't know why she looked at me with such disgust.The corners of her sexy mouth turned up slightly, but she couldn't hold back a smile, and said to me with a faint expression: "I went to the sorority organized by the college, maybe I will come back a little later, you go and help me comfort Fanny, she always treats me as a child who doesn't grow up." ”"Oh, then you have to come back early, be careful on the way!"
I said to her as I leaned sideways to get out of the way for her to pass.Tracy winked at me, thanked me, and nimbly slipped out.Fanny chased after her from behind, her fingertips barely touched the hairband wrapped around Tracy's wrist, but she couldn't catch Tracy, and when she saw that she was wearing a slightly sexy leather coat and made a grimace at herself, she flashed out of the door with her daughter, Fanny sighed helplessly, pulled her face and glared at me, and said to me dissatisfiedly: "Why did you come back so late, you should have helped me stop her just now!"
”Seeing that I was holding a bottle of moonlight ink in my hand, Fanny snatched it away, and I was shocked to change color, this bottle of magic ink did not have a stabilizer made of condensing grass, and it would explode if it was slightly inappropriate.I thought to myself if Fanny knew that the magic ink she was holding in her hand could explode with a slight violent shake, and I wondered if she would be able to carry it in her hand like she was carrying a wine bottle at random."
This is my newly bought magic ink, I haven't finished my homework tonight with magic runes, so I'll take it upstairs!"
I hurriedly defended Fanny.It's just that my so-called magic talisman homework was not left by the magic talisman teacher, but Ma asked me to do it.Seeing Fanny shaking the magic ink in her hand, I really wanted to take the bottle of ink out of Fanny's hand.I stared at the rickety inkwell closely, and when I was about to reach out to catch it, Fanny put a finger on my forehead and asked me a direct question: "Jia, have you had dinner?"
”I nodded my head like a chicken pecking rice, in fact, we had a little dinner with Ying Li, and we had a little barbecue steak at a decent restaurant on Central Avenue, and it tasted pretty good."
Then I'm relieved!"
Fanny exhaled lightly, then looked at me with a smile, then pointed to the gate and said, "In that case, you can go to that sorority with Tracy, and take good care of Tracy for me, I don't want her to get drunk with a bunch of bad boys!"
”"I looked at Fanny a little speechless, tempted to say that I had a lot of talisman homework and really didn't want to go to a sorority.But looking at Fanny's smiling face full of anticipation, I swallowed the words of rejection into my stomach at once, and then pointed to the bottle of magic ink, and had to say to Fanny, "Fanny, you have to be careful with that bottle, it doesn't look as strong as it looks, and it can easily shatter."
If the ink inside is very sticky, it will stain your carpet, so please be as careful as possible when you take it, and help me put it on the experimental shelf of my desk. ”"Honey, I'll take care of your inkwell."
Fanny smiled and took the magic ink, turned into the room, and waved at me, "Have fun at night." ”I quickly stretched out my hand to Fanny and ran out of the yard before it was all dark, and I didn't know where to find Tracy if she was dumped.At the end of the street, Tracy was seen in front of a carriage, preparing to board it.I hurriedly stood on tiptoe, jumped and shouted at Tracy, "Tracy, wait for me, wait for me!"
”My voice spread so far in the quiet evening, I was afraid that she would leave me, and I couldn't explain to Fanny at that time, so I had to run hard, the stone road was baked hot by the sun during the day, and there was still residual heat at night, so I went up to warm up, in this stuffy weather, even if I didn't run, I would sweat, I ran over in one breath, naturally I was tired and out of breath.Holding the carriage with one hand, standing beside the carriage to adjust his breath, Tracy stood beside the carriage with a frown, looking at me with both hands in embarrassment, looking at her tangled appearance, I knew that she had something difficult to say, how dare I let her open her mouth to refuse me, and hurriedly said to her: "Fanny is afraid that you will get drunk at night, let me take care of you on the side." ”Saying that I had boarded the carriage, the coachman looked at us with a smile, and when he saw that we were in the carriage, he closed the half-open door for us, and jumped into the seat of the emperor in front of the carriage alone, and waited for us to be ready, and was about to set off.When Tracy saw me say this, he reluctantly moved an empty seat in the carriage and muttered, "Who can get drunk, and if you say that you won't interfere with my personal life, it doesn't count, it's really annoying!"
”"If you don't get to the place, you will leave me at the door, and I will wait for you there, and I will definitely not cause you trouble!"
I saw that she was really in trouble, so I said this.She turned her head to see that there was no tall figure of Minotaur Ruka behind the carriage, and asked curiously, "What about your Minotaur follower?"
”"That's my partner, not my follower!"
I corrected Tracy before saying, "He's probably lying in a tent in the backyard now, nibbling on wheat cakes!"
”"It's not that I'm afraid you'll follow me, it's just that your identity isn't very suitable for that occasion!"
Tracy hesitated, then put his elbow on my shoulder and leaned into my ear.I grinned and asked her a little mysteriously, "Isn't it that kind of girls' party, but you're dressed like this, you're going to a masquerade?"
”"Why!
It's just a simple party, but it's not suitable for you to join as a magician, but I suddenly want to bring you the idea of blending in!
”Tracy was suddenly interested, pursed her lips and laughed, her pointed chin looking indescribably moving.I grew my mouth and said with a bitter face: "They don't welcome me, so what else do I have to go in for, I'll wait for you outside!"
”"It's okay, as long as you change into this outfit, those are all Staines' students, who will know you?"
Tracy spoke softly to me, her eyes turning in a circle, and she casually called out a name to the coachman, the Four Cats Tavern.The horse-drawn carriage slowly drove away from the street, and the sound of the horse's paw on the stone road tinkling and crisp, accompanied by the sound of horse bells, was like a fast-paced music on this night, which made people feel uplifted.I said in my heart, "Didn't you go drinking?"
Four Cats Tavern, that's a really chic name!
Tracy gently tugged at my magic robe with his hand and said, "But yours changed this robe!"
”I sighed helplessly, Tracy was carved out of the same mold as Fanny, and even her personality was not bad at all, and when you decide something, it's hard to think about other people's thoughts!
Almost all of the drinkers looked at a warrior apprentice standing on the stage, his young face was still a little green, his lips and chin were still heavily fluffy, and he was wearing a set of light armor with cut-off sleeves in the antelope skin, a pair of knee-length leather trousers, a pair of pointed lambskin boots, and two very short daggers pinned to his waist, and he was telling an impassioned story: Our parents had just returned from working in the orchard.
Before they had time to eat, they were going to repair the farm tools they would work on tomorrow, but what were they doing at this time, those high-ranking nobles, after they had slept all day, were now enjoying the coolness, and after waiting for the heat of the day to dissipate, they would go to have fun I had a headache when I heard it, the contradictions between the commoners and the nobles were really getting more and more intense, not only the impatience began to appear in our war college, but even some different voices appeared in the entire city of El, no wonder Tracy said that this place is not for me, That's really true, after all, I'm a magician nobleman, and if a magician walks in at this time, the scene will be very exciting!
Several waiters carry a square wooden tray with neat golden cider glasses on the whole tray, and they move nimbly between the wine tables, and the drinkers will occasionally take a glass of wine from the tray, and the waiter will simply mark the glass mat and continue to walk freely through the tavern.A few maids in linen dresses and aprons on their chests fluttered silently in the tavern like colorful butterflies, always whispering questions everywhere they went, and then took out small notebooks and quickly recorded them.From time to time, a chef-like person will come out with a beautiful plate, place a plate of delicious food on the table, and then turn away.It seems that this is still a tavern that serves meals, which is rare in restaurants like El City, and people here generally don't like to confuse eating with drinking.The young soldier on the stage suddenly shouted loudly, and the scene suddenly began to boil, and people kept standing up and shouting with him.Tracy led me through the tavern with a wrinkled little nose, and at last found her companions in a corner, where a dozen men and women sat around a rectangular table full of all sorts of fine food, when a maroon girl with short hair noticed Tracy, stood up, made a vacant seat in the long chair, and pulled her to sit down."
Hey.You're going to have to introduce me!
Who is this handsome guy?
It looks shy, and it's my favorite type!
”The girl smiled brightly, threw me a wink, and secretly poked Tracy, who must have been on good terms with Tracy, and her skin was extremely fair, except for a few pale pink freckles on her face.Seeing Tracy smiling and silent, he immediately came to his senses, opened his big mouth and carefully looked at me from beginning to end, and then stretched out his hand to me: "You are Giga, Tracy often mentions you to me, my name is Rowling, and I am Tracy's good sister!"
”"Hello Rowling, I'm Giga, and we've met in the small town of Maas!"
With a modest smile on my face, I reached out and shook her hand.Seeing the girl named Rowling immediately enthusiastically put a glass of golden cider in front of me, and then winked at Tracy, and her mouth quickly uttered a slang phrase that she said so quickly and in a low voice that I couldn't hear the whispers of the people around me for the first time.I pushed the glass in front of me inside the table, and looked at the entire group around the square table.It can be seen that these people should be very familiar, they should be the students of Stans College, seeing them drinking so freely, they must be the same as Tracy, the graduates of Stans College.At this moment, I suddenly saw an unkind gaze looking at me, and I looked back, just in time to see Leon sitting on a long chair diagonally opposite, looking at me coldly.Seeing that my eyes were on him, the muscles on his face twisted slightly, and he pouted without smiling, and then suddenly said to me in a low voice: "That guy Arendt, eat dry and wipe your mouth and leave, leaving you to take the plate, your appetite is really good!"
”I sat in my chair and listened to it so hard that my face turned cold, and it was clear that this guy had no fear of me, and he sat back on the long wooden chair, with one hand on his knee and the other a glass of golden cider, looking at me with a smile on his face."
Can I see your words as an insult to me?"
I asked, staring at him."
If you think so, I'm not against that!"
He snorted softly through his nose.I stood up and tried to pull him out of the tavern to settle it privately, after all, fighting in the tavern is not a gentleman's doing.But before I could make any moves, a boy next to Leon suddenly reached out and grabbed his golden hair, and vigorously pressed his head into the plate in front of him.With a crisp sound of "pop", the entire thick white porcelain dinner plate was suddenly smashed to pieces, and the soup inside splashed out, and Leon's face was cut by countless wounds from the broken porcelain pieces splashed when the plate was broken, and he almost didn't react at all, and was stunned by his companions.Suddenly, the originally lively dining table suddenly became quiet, and the expressions of everyone around seemed to freeze.Everyone looked at Leon who was stunned, and they didn't know what was going on.Once again, the strong warrior grabbed Leon by the hair and grabbed him from the table like a dead dog.At this time, Leon's face was covered with sauce, blood, and he ate the remaining noodles and green leaves, and he raised his head in a coma, the tall nose bone had completely collapsed into it, and his face was covered with small wounds, which should have been scratched by the splashing plate, and he looked at the warrior with some distraction, with a look of incomprehension in his eyes."
You've probably never heard that Tracy and his brother saved my life?"
The strong warrior stared at Leon fiercely and said slowly: "You left a group of us and fled alone, don't you even know who saved us?"
”To be continued.
