Sitting opposite Lucia on the straw mat in the martial arts hall, Lucia's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes as clear and bright as moonlight looked intently at the copper stove and teapot on the small tea table in front of her.The teapot was filled with clear spring water, and three delicate emerald green leaves floated on the surface of the water, and a fire-gathering scroll was placed in the delicate copper furnace, in which a cyan flame was spewing, boiling the clear spring in the teapot, and a series of white water vapor spewed out from the spout, accompanied by a soft whining sound.On such a sunny afternoon, the sunlight outside was blocked by snow-white curtains, and the light in the room was abundant, compared to the hustle and bustle of the martial arts training ground in the courtyard of the martial arts hall, the room was as quiet as being isolated from the noise.Lucia looked intently at the steaming teapot, the water chestnut-shaped pink lips closed slightly, she sat on the straw mat and straightened her slender waist, her upper body tended to a perfect curve against the backdrop of the thorn-tailed crystal lion skin light armor, there was a quiet beauty like a hollow valley orchid, her round fingers like green lightly lifted the handle of the teapot, and poured turquoise tea into the teacup in front of me, and there was a fragrance of tree oil floating in the air close to the revival of plants and trees, wafting among the pine forests.She held the teacup in front of her with both hands, and there was a slight fluctuation in her somewhat blurry azure eyes, and then she exhaled a breath before she sighed: "It's been three years in the blink of an eye, and time flies so fast!"
”"Well, why are you in the imperial capital, is your home here?"
I looked at her almost transparent pointed ears with a stunned look, the fine veins were clearly visible on them, and she probably felt my burning gaze, and gradually the two ears trembled slightly, nervously pressed against the sides of the head, and a wisp of red light crept up her cheeks."
My home is naturally in Silvermoon City, I live in my aunt's house, and she lives in a big mansion here in the imperial capital."
Lucia's voice was crisp and pleasant."
Are you an elf?"
I asked her curiously.Lucia shook her head slightly, her face became even redder, and she said softly: "I am not blessed by the moon god, so I don't have the emblem of the moon goddess on my body, so I can't be regarded as a silver moon elf, at most I can only be regarded as a half-elf, but I have more characteristics of the elf clan on my body." ”I nodded as if I didn't understand."
Tell me about you, how did you come to the imperial capital?"
Lucia asked me curiously, her eyes filled with smiles.I always felt as if she knew something, and I smiled before saying, "My magic mentor Heidi gave me a letter of recommendation to come to the imperial capital to study, and I happen to really want to come to the imperial capital to see the Royal Academy of Magic, so I came." ”Lucia's eyes widened and she praised, "Your magic master is really very powerful!"
”"Well, sort of!"
I said with some uncertainty, and then thinking of the great magical power that Mentor Heidi displayed when he was guarding the city of El, I became very sure again: "She must be the hero of our city of El!"
”"You're currently in the fourth year of the Academy of Magic?"
I asked Lucia curiously, looking at her innocent eyes, I would always think that this was a beautiful girl who would not be more than sixteen years old.But if you calculate carefully, the average age of the graduates of the Royal Academy of Magic should be about twenty years old.Almost all apprentices expect to receive an offer letter to the Royal Academy of Magic in the year of the coming-of-age ceremony, which means that the average first-year student who normally enters the Royal Academy of Magic is about 16 years old, and after four years of study, he or she will graduate at the age of 20.Lucia gently covered her lips with a light smile and said to me, "Well, you should actually call me Senpai respectfully. ”"You look so young!"
I sighed, looking at her beautiful face, I couldn't tell that she was already a beautiful girl in her teens.Lucia took a sip of turquoise tea, her eyes wandered to the martial arts training ground outside the window, her slender snow neck was like a noble swan, and she sighed softly: "Of course, after all, I am an elf, even if I am twenty years old, my appearance will not change much." ”There was a strong life force in that cup of tea, and after drinking it, there was a feeling that made me feel like I was wrapped in a rich wood-based magic element, which was very slight, very light, but very comfortable.During the conversation, I always felt that there were some other meanings in Lucia's smile, but she didn't want to say it, and I couldn't ask about it, and my memory suddenly went back to the time in the city of El, and my thoughts had a sweet and clear taste like a babbling stream.I think of the wheat-skinned, with the characteristic charm of a mature beauty.Her gentle eyes and heavy sword in her hand are both sharp weapons that can kill, maybe the orcs will think that she is not the most beautiful female orc, but her sexy lips that are wild and gentle can attract the attention of many Grimm Empire people, maybe the aesthetics of humans and orcs are a little surprised!
I remembered Ella, the little orc girl who thought it was the most delicious food in the world when I took a bite of brown bread, and I didn't even know what it was with strawberry jam, cheese, and sausage.I thought of the old orc shaman Zewang, whose face was as old as the bark of a tree, and it was because of him that the orc village built in the valley of the willow was so peaceful.When we came out of the martial arts hall, Noah and I had become new members of the Sword and Rose Society, and there was no welcome ceremony, no so-called new member meeting, only a medal belonging to the Sword and Rose Society, hanging in front of my and Noah's chests.Now it seems that in the imperial capital, everyone's identity can be confirmed, as if there are only those medals, and every imperial capital person can quickly identify those medals that look very complicated, and then determine the identity of the other party at the first time.For example, I now need to wear the Silver Wizard Badge, the Imperial Capital Academy Badge, and the Sword and Rose Society Badge on my chest.I asked Andre with some concern: "Senior Andre, do we need this badge every day when we enter and leave the martial arts hall?"
Will the members of those old societies not let us enter the martial arts hall because they don't know us?
”"Of course, this badge is proof of your identity in the community."
Andre smiled, and then said: "As for whether I know you, haha, you underestimate Diego's status in the society too much, and the duel between you and him will probably spread in the magic academy before sunset." ”"Speaking of which, Diego has planted a big heel this time, Diego is a very famous wind magician in our academy, especially his wind magic skills with the assassin's martial arts, I don't know how many famous magicians in the academy have been overturned in this year's time, I think he should have lost this time because he is not familiar with the skills of water magic, and he was actually frozen by the ice wall technique, hey, I don't know where this arrogant guy is hiding and depressed!"
Andre said with emotion, the taste in his words was obviously that Senior Diego was defeated by me because he was not familiar with the magic skills of the water system.Alessio also agreed with Andre's opinion, but he didn't make any comments, just smiled and nodded on the sidelines.At the time of parting, it was Alessio who fell behind, and secretly told me that this time I completely offended all the people in the Imperial Capital Gang, and just after the start of the school year, I even overturned two very potential generals of the Imperial Capital Gang in the Royal Academy of Magic, and the defeat in the arena will more or less affect the cultivation speed of magic, therefore, Alessio reminded me that I must be careful of the Imperial Capital Gang's private revenge seeking actions, and the members of the Imperial Capital Gang usually have some family backgrounds, Almost everyone has the shadow of a big aristocratic family behind them.It's a pity that the martial arts training ground has regained calm again, the female magic swordsman who crushed a magician with martial arts alone is no longer on the field, I originally thought she was a magic swordsman, but Noah said she was a knight, and then for a while, Noah kept bragging to me about how beautiful the female knight who had just dueled in the martial arts field was, how good the martial arts were, and he talked to me all the way.We parted ways in the square in front of the academy building, he chose to go to the academy library, and I needed to walk all the way out of the academy along the avenue of the campus, and then take the carriage to the Tower of Pride to help Yerkes complete the dual-skill wind wolf leather boots.I finally completed the task given to me by Kige, and my whole body was much easier.With her help, I successfully entered the Sword and Rose Club and became an ordinary club member.Next, I'm afraid I have to make some preparations in advance for this training activity, after all, it is an experience across the plane, although I know that there will not be too much danger, but there are not only all kinds of dangerous demonic beasts on the plane, but also some alien races, they compete with us for the resources of that plane, for us academy students, those alien talents are the biggest threat.Boarding a public carriage heading in the direction of the Tower of Pride on Yulin Street, there were many passengers in the carriage, and those people saw a magician in a magic robe squeezed up from below, and they all cast curious glances, obviously, in their habitual thoughts, the magicians were some aristocratic lords who never lacked gold coins, and these people usually do not take the public carriage, and I squeezed between them, sitting on the same bench as these commoners, receiving the strange stares of the people on both sides, The carriage rolled over the golden sunset and drove slowly in the direction of the destination, and the Yerkes scholar pasted the improved light body magic scroll on the test metal talisman plate with trembling hands, and then gently licked his dry lips with his tongue, his dry eyes were bloodshot, this weakened light body technique, although the effect was worse than the original skill, but the bearing capacity demand value was terrifyingly reduced by nearly one-third, which is also a new masterpiece of the Yerkes scholar in the past few days.Although it is very targeted and the scope of application is not so extensive, it can show that the Yerkes scholar has a unique view of wind magic, and he can easily disassemble the light body technique, a wind magic skill, and then add something of his own to the magic pattern circle to make a Yerkes-style magic pattern circle.This lightweight scroll is like that, it has been deeply labeled as a Yerkes, yes, it has a strong Yerkis scholar's style.Then Yerkis took out another magic scroll of wind skills, he looked at this wind magic scroll that was only the size of a palm, there was a look of obsession in his eyes, and then with some uncertain confusion, he turned his head to me and asked, "Jijia, are you sure that this scroll can function normally with only the magic crystals it relies on?"
”I was still very sure of this, so I said confidently: "Of course, this rudimentary Wind Swift Magic Scroll inherits the structure of the orc shamanic magic rune, and if you look at its simple magic runes, this should actually be regarded as a general magic with very low mana consumption. ”Yerkes has seen my fire-gathering scroll, and in his eyes, the fire-gathering scroll I made is simply useless, it is completely a general-purpose magic skill that is too rough to be rough, and its existence can only be used in life, it can be regarded as a magic prop for life, Yerkis has a lot of complaints about me, thinking that I have promoted magic into a cheap daily necessities, which is really a loss of identity as a magician.He frowned and snorted before saying, "It's like a fire-gathering scroll?"
”I nodded and explained, "Yes, it's the wind-based version of the Fire Gathering Scroll, as long as the magic pattern circle exists, and the magic energy in the circle has not been depleted, then it will keep running day and night until the mana in the circle is completely depleted, if no new mana is re-injected into this circle, then it will burn out all the magic power on the lines on the magic pattern circle in a quarter of an hour, and then the entire magic pattern circle will completely disappear in this pair of shoes." ”Then I simply drew a magic groove on the parchment, and then used a magic pen to draw a circle on it, and looked at Yerkis before saying: "Of course, the solution to this problem is not difficult, as long as the magic crystal on the groove of the leather boot can be replaced in time, the damage to the magic pattern circle will be avoided to the greatest extent." ”"What is the principle of this magic pattern array, it has completely transcended my cognition of magic runes, these are magic runes in the orc world, right?"
Yerkis said, staring at me."
Yes, they're magic talismans owned by orcs."
I stared at the Wind Swift Scroll and was stunned, not knowing whether it was good or bad to bring the Wind Swift Scroll into the human world, and now I could only explain to the Yerkis Scholar: "Shaman witch doctors were extremely weak in the early days, and at this time they were able to rely on the stone drum totem to release a single magic skill, which was also very rare, so the skills on the shaman's primary stone drum totem consumed mana very low." ”When the Yerkes scholar pasted the Wind Swift Magic Scroll on another metal rune test board, and then the Yerkes scholar recited a series of incantations, after countless failures, his eyes were already a little numb at this moment, and we don't know how many times he had failed, and the Yerkes scholar obviously didn't have much hope for this experiment.The two scrolls emitted a faint magical effect, slowly emitting mana under the expectant gaze of me and the Yerkes scholars, and two different wind circles rotated around the tester.The potion in the magic crystal groove was still red, and at this time, the eyes of Yerkes and I could not hide the joy, one big and one small, the palms of the two hands slammed together, and the Yerkes scholar could not hide the excitement in his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, and he said slightly hoarsely: "Hey, it's actually done!"
