By the time Lady Arya's caravan drove into Yulin Street, it was already ten in the morning.A few night watchmen extinguished the street lights one by one in the quiet streets, where there were few pedestrians, the occasional horse-drawn carriage passing by, and the roads were lined with beautiful buildings, made of brick and stone walls mixed with wooden doors, windows and roofs, each built at least three stories or more, with beautiful arched doors and windows carved with elaborate ornamentation, some of the vines of plants, some of the figures and landscapes, or some of the gods of the temples.On the square square at the entrance of the street, there is a fountain in the center of the pool, and countless water droplets fall from the sky, forming a beautiful rainbow under the reflection of the rising sun.The wide streets are lined with lime trees, and in this early spring season, some of the branches have already sprouted buds.Declining Lady Arya's gracious invitation, I jumped briskly out of the magic caravan in the morning light, stood on the side of the road and waved goodbye to Lady Arya, who stuck her head out of the window and looked back at me with some reluctance, waving a white silk scarf softly.Looking in the direction of the magic caravan, I stood outside the door of the mansion at No. 56 Yulin Street with the Minotaur Ruka and rang the doorbell above.After a short time, the footsteps inside the door gradually became clearer, the brown painted door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged maid wearing a long gray dress with an apron tied on her chest said to me in a questioning tone, "Who are you looking for?"
”"Oh, does the Yerkis scholar live here?
I'm his student, I'm here in Eyre!
”I stood on the steps of the doorway and said to the middle-aged maid.The middle-aged maid didn't invite me in directly, but said to me apologetically, "Please wait!"
”Turning around, she closed the door, and the footsteps faded away, quickly disappearing behind the door.The Yerkes scholar sat at the table with his hair like a chicken nest on his head, and he looked in good spirits, his eyes were a little puffy, and he looked a little sleep-deprived, but at least he was shaved, and his chin was only lightly blue.Dressed in a blue and white striped pajamas and a pair of soft cloth shoes, he sat on a mahogany chair with a look of joy on his face.The Yerkes scholar couldn't wait to say: "Oh, Jiga, it's great that you can come to the imperial capital in advance, continue to be my assistant, you don't know how stupid those magical assistants in the institute are, I've had enough of them, you come to help me!"
”I was eating a piece of fried egg with my head down, the taste was very delicious, it was said that this is a chocobo egg, this bird that can fly in the desert is a kind of earth-based primary magical beast, although their running speed can not catch up with the magic antelope, but the victory is long-lasting, it is difficult for the demons to catch these chocobo birds running like the wind in the desert, when they encounter danger, they will summon the wind and sand to bury themselves in the sand.Many people like to look for their nests in the desert, looking for the eggs laid by these chocobos, it is said that eating these delicious chocobo eggs regularly can change the physique of magicians, when I was at the War Magic Academy, I heard Mentor Tobiin say it, but this thing is extremely scarce, I have never seen it in the shop in El City.I reached out and took out a slice of white bread from the basket on the dining table, took a hard bite, then took a big sip of fresh milk, and said to Yerkes, "Of course I'd love to, but I still have to go to the Royal Academy of Magic to take classes, and I don't know if the study schedule at the Royal Academy of Magic will be too heavy." ”"Hey, hey."
The Yerkes scholar smiled reluctantly, and then his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and said to me: "The Royal Academy of Magic is still relatively lenient for you freshmen, and there should be a lot of meditation time in the initial stage, and you can make full use of this time. ”I thought to myself: the implication of the Yerkes scholars is that the course should be very busy!
Through the glass window of the dining room, I saw that Ruka the Minotaur was sitting on the lawn in the backyard and gnawing on the sweet corn, while Sister Guoguo was sitting by the pool, quietly looking at the magic pattern circle on the metal rune board of the water gathering technique hanging on the wall.My biggest fear is that one day, her water elemental spirit suddenly has an independent mind of its own, and her broken soul will dissipate."
Hmm."
I said yes."
Last time I wrote to you, you had some new ideas for the Ice Wall Technique?
It's a pity that I don't have a deep understanding of water and ice magic, so can't Heidi help you with that?
”Yerkes swept away the demon antelope chops on his plate, swallowing quickly, and after swallowing the last bite of food, he threw a new question at me.Last month, after the winter barbarian hunt, I had an idea of my own ice wall technique, and I didn't know that I could come to the imperial capital so soon, so I wrote a letter to the Yerkes scholar, which wrote some new ideas about the ice wall technique, but I didn't wait for Yerkis to reply, I didn't expect him to mention it.The mention of that incident by the Scholar of Yerkes brought me into the conversation of magic at once.I began to discuss some of my views on the Ice Wall Technique, and I said to the Yerkes Scholar: "I don't have any doubts about this ice magic, I just think that when making a combined magic pattern construction, you can split the magic skill into several modules according to the independent magic pattern of the actual application of magic, take the magic skill of the ice wall as an example, I can decompose it into three steps of water gathering and shaping ice condensation, and I can also draw a very layered magic rune on the magic pattern construction" Yerkes Scholar is also a workaholic, When it comes to the subject of magic runes, it's easy to get into a state of self-forgetfulness, and I start to talk about some of the difficulties I have encountered in drawing magic scrolls and making magic rune boards in the past two years, and Yerkes will always explain to me the real reason for this problem, and he will always look at those magic runes with a unique eye.He simply pointed out what the problem was, and then I had a feeling of a sudden opening up in front of my eyes, as if I was breathing smoothly all of a sudden.We don't notice that time is passing little by little.Until the middle-aged maid came over again and said to the Yerkes scholar, "Sir, the Academy of Magic has sent someone to inform you that you have a very important magic seminar at two o'clock in the afternoon, and tell you not to forget to attend. ”Yerkis frowned, there was obviously a trace of unhappiness in his eyes, and said to the middle-aged maid, "Since it's an afternoon seminar, just notify me at noon." ”"But it's almost noon now, do you need to prepare lunch at home?"
The middle-aged maid probably knew that Yerkis had a bad temper, so she said in as tactful a tone as possible.At this time, Yerkes noticed that the sun was already shining outside the window, and his face softened, and he said self-deprecatingly: "This time flies so fast, I don't feel anything, and half a day has slipped away." ”Then he grabbed his messy hair with his hand and said to me, "Have you been drawing magic scrolls lately?"
If you want to become a great master, it is essential to practice drawing magic scrolls, and making magic scrolls will not only allow you to become proficient in the magic pattern circle, but also deepen your understanding of the magic pattern circle.If you want to become a master, you need to make scrolls!
”"I take some time out of my day to draw magic scrolls, and now it's a habit to make magic scrolls every day!"
I looked out the window faintly, Ruka was lying on the lawn in the backyard at this time, and life was really monotonous and boring!"
Have you found a place to stay?
You can stay with me until you are ready to live on campus!
”It's rare that Yerkes cares a little bit about my life.The visit was coming to an end, and I didn't want to live under the same roof with this workaholic, maybe he'd have a new idea while I'm sleeping, and then pull me out of the covers and work on his new idea with him, which would be terrible.So I stood up and said to the Yerkes scholar: I want to report to the Royal Academy of Magic first, and if there is no accident, I will choose to live in the Academy of Magic.Yerkes listened to my answer, not feeling any surprise, but nodded faintly.Not long afterward, I got up and said goodbye to the Yerkes Scholars, there was still a lot of work to be done today, at least the Academy of Magic report.As I was about to leave the door, the Yerkes scholar leaned against the marble pillar in the doorway, squinted his eyes and said, "I didn't expect Heidi to give you a letter of recommendation, she is really nice to you as a student!"
”I looked back at Yerkes in dismay, I had never thought of how precious such a letter of recommendation from the Royal Academy of Magic could be, and now that I heard Yerkes Scholar say this, I realized that maybe I was really thinking a little too much about things."
Jia!"
Ruka the Minotaur noticed that I was distracted and called out to me angrily."
Huh?"
I came to my senses and walked down the stone steps of the mansion with him."
What are we going to eat at noon?"
The minotaur rubbed his stomach and asked me with a smile.The setting sun and sunset gilded the huge floating mountain suspended overhead with a layer of gold, and a trace of clouds like a light veil shrouded the royal city, and those gorgeous palaces were reflected in the afterglow of the sunset, which was as beautiful as a fairyland.In the lowest-lying part of this floating mountain in the royal city, there are several waterfalls flowing straight down from above, and you want to return to a white horse, and the splashing water vapor forms a beautiful seven-colored halo on the surface of the lake.The white waterfall falls into the large lake in the center of the city, day and night.Such a city in the sky, covering an area of almost hundreds of hectares, almost every space on the floating hill has been built with beautiful palaces, gardens, pavilions, and pavilions, and one of the tallest palaces in the royal complex, I suspect that Charles the Great may have lived there.More than a dozen Lion Eagle Knights circled around the royal city, and the Imperial Capital's forbidden sky magic array did not seem to have any effect on the Lion Eagle Knights.The imperial capital, the whole city is located on the crater of Mount Majaro, the huge urban complex envelopes hundreds of hectares of huge lakes in it, and the beautiful lake like blue jade is the lake of life of the people of the imperial capital.The Imperial Capital Junior Academy of Magic and the Royal Academy of Magic are just a wall apart, but they are two completely separate magic schools.The former is a junior magic academy affiliated with the Royal Academy of Magic, this junior magic academy will train some excellent magic apprentices every year, and then send them to the Royal Academy of Magic, it is said that the promotion rate of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy ranks first among the primary magic academies, and many nobles will try their best to send their family's children with magical talents to study in the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy, just to have a greater chance to enter the Royal Academy of Magic in the future.As the highest magical education institution in the Empire, the Royal Academy of Magic is a holy place in the hearts of all young magicians, and the young magicians in the magic academies in almost all provinces of the Green Empire have God's desire to study.Every year, thousands of new apprentices are born in the provinces of the Grimm Empire, but only a little more than a hundred of these thousands are able to obtain admission to the Royal Academy of Magic.It can be seen from this that the admission notice of the Royal Academy of Magic of Green is so precious, I really don't know what means Mentor Heidi used, there is a letter of recommendation from the Royal Academy of Magic, rummaging through the white magic parchment in his hand, and the dark red seal on it clearly indicates that this is a special admission notice of the Royal Academy of Magic of Green.Thinking of the experience of reporting at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic in the afternoon, I found that I was not the only exception, the young magicians with letters of recommendation, there were several of them in this afternoon, but I didn't have time to communicate with them too much, but after the Royal Academy of Magic reported, after confirming my dormitory, I didn't even have time to take a look, and ran to the gate of the junior magic academy.The gates of the two magic academies are far apart, the main entrance of the junior magic academy is opened on Xiangxuehai Street, and the main entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic is open on Minghu Street.I sat on the roadside bench opposite the gate of the Imperial Capital Junior Academy of Magic, smelling the fragrance of tree oil wafting from the wet branches of the bushes on the side, and the corners of my mouth hooked up a faint and smug smile, thinking that I would see Ying Li later, the anticipation in my heart was like a long-suppressed crater that could erupt at any time.From time to time, the pedestrians on the street looked at me and Ruka, and Ruka, the minotaur, sat cross-legged on the grass next to me, unconcerned.I don't feel any different from others, but passers-by always can't help but look at me twice, making me think that maybe I didn't wash my face in the morning.Looking at the passers-by, a magic apprentice wearing a magic robe hurriedly passed by, he also glanced at me curiously, a strange color appeared in his eyes, but because he was in a hurry, he lowered his head to hide his surprised look.I rushed up in front of him, and the young magic apprentice saw that someone was blocking his way, glared at me and asked, "Why are you blocking my way?"
Your Excellency the Magician from the North. ”There was no hint of awe in his tone."
How do you tell I'm from the North?"
I asked curiously."
Only magicians from the north like to wear such thick magic robes, don't they?"
