Dusk in the imperial capital always comes early, the setting sun stretches our shadows very long, the breeze passes through my fingertips, and the fluff on the minotaur's face flutters gently like a wave of wheat, and Ruka sits quietly beside me, his skin is much darker than the previous days, and he looks like he is working in the magic herb garden.We sat on a giant Taylor tree on the lake behind the Royal Academy of Magic, which was very high and had a bird's-eye view of the entire Academy of Magic, I never thought that a minotaur would also like to climb trees, Ruka and I looked up at the magic tower on the top of the teaching building, and a majestic magical aura rose to the sky, shooting directly above the imperial capital floating above the royal city, and the powerful magical energy shot out by the seven magic towers converged in the air, covering the entire imperial capital in a transparent cover.This majestic city located in the crater of Mount Majaro, surrounded by the annular cliffs of Mount Majaro, there are a total of seven areas in the imperial capital, each area is almost as large as the city of Sleuit, if converted into the area of the city of El, almost thirteen el, can be worth a large area of the capital of God.In each of the seven regions of the Imperial Capital, there is a magical tower rising from the sky, and these magical towers provide sufficient magical energy for the entire Imperial Capital's defense circle.At noon, not long after the Abel scholar left, the sky of the imperial capital changed dramatically, and the huge defensive circle of the entire city was actually opened, which meant that the whole city would enter a state of martial law during the opening of the magic circle, and it seemed that the operation to capture the members of the Black Magic Retreat had officially begun.Senior Luke told me that his teacher, Scholar Abel, was one of the seven administrators in charge of the magic tower in the Royal Academy of Magic, and only by gathering the keys in the hands of the seven managers could he successfully open the magic tower in the academy.It is no wonder that in the morning in class, the dean of teaching temporarily called Abel Scholar away, although he was very reluctant, but he still walked in such a hurry.I put my hand on my forehead so that I wouldn't look up at the sky: "Are you still used to living in this herb garden?"
”Ruka's voice was very honest: "Well, it's okay!
”I asked him again, "Does the old man always let you work, when you are tired, you can slow down appropriately, and try to choose a shady place at noon." ”Ruka said optimistically: "Well, those magic herbs are very easy to manage, the nursery is not a wasteland, there is no bad climate, there are no insect plagues and herbivorous monsters, so I don't have to worry about anything, I just need to weed and water on time, in fact, watering is also very easy, the irrigation pipeline here in the nursery is very developed, Jijia, why don't you like the nursery so much?"
Actually, I'd love to share with you what I've heard and seen in the nursery. ”After thinking about it, I said, "No, I just don't like the old man Abel, I think he always wants to target me, I don't want to give him this opportunity." ”Ruka seemed to be very protective of the Abel scholar, and immediately defended: "Daddy Abel is not bad. ”I let out a long sigh, "That's for you, he looked at me with hostility. ”"If he bullies you, you move out, I have rented a house near the academy now, you can live there, Ella will come over next week, live there, you may have a little more freedom.""
If I can, I'd like to stay here in the Magic Herb Garden and exercise more, can I do that?"
Ruka hesitated, but honestly spoke his mind."
Your business, of course, still needs you to make your own decisions in the end, and when you get bored one day, tell me, and I will pick you up."
I put my hand behind my head, exhaled, and said to him."
Hmm" Ruka looked very happy to hear that I didn't object, and then he said to me, "Jijia, I have comprehended the power of the bloodline in the ecological garden, and the wild growth is growing!"
”"Oh, that's good!"
I then said.Then, immediately realizing that Ruka had told me that he had awakened the power of the bloodline, I was so shocked that I almost fell off the branches of the tree, and looked at Ruka, who was staring at the lilac sky with a pair of bull's eyes, and said in surprise: "Ah!
You're saying you've awakened the bloodline talent of the Minotaur warrior, my god!
I knew you were born for the Minotaur warriors.Can you be sure of the abilities you have?
”The afterglow of the setting sun and the energy shield of the Imperial Capital's large defensive magic array will shine together, making the entire sky of the Imperial Capital dyed light purple.Ruka shook his head and thought about it carefully before saying, "Except for the fact that the physique and strength can be enhanced, there don't seem to be any other benefits, oh, by the way, there are also some additional temporary attributes that can be obtained by taking herbal magic potions." ”The implication is that magical herbs have an additional effect on his body?
It's a strange bloodline talent."
You still have to work honestly in the herb garden, Old Man Abel is right, it's for you!"
I said that maybe living there would be more helpful for Ruka's growth."
Jijia, look!"
The minotaur Ruka smiled, his cow face was a little proud, and his clumsy big hand took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and then put it in the palm of his hand, carefully unfolding the cloth bag, and there were nine seeds of wild steel flowers with metallic colors lying inside, each with a faint mana fluctuation on it.Ruka said to me, "This is what I picked up in the nursery." ”"In the future, don't do this kind of thing, your character is too honest, it's easy to show flaws, if you are discovered by the old man Abel, you will be kicked out, about the seed, I have a new way, we don't have to fight the idea of the nursery anymore!"
I solemnly admonish Ruka.I'm worried that Ruka's kind of child will be discovered by the Abel scholars, and that stealing will leave a shadow on him for the rest of his life."
It's okay, these seeds, Daddy Abel knows that I took them!"
Ruka said calmly."
How dare you take it blatantly?"
I asked him with a look of disbelief.Ruka smiled and explained: "I pick up the seeds that fall from the pods before they are ripe, after the pods of the wild steel flower are ripe, there are three or four round seeds in each pod, among these seeds, there are often those that have not yet matured, and they fall down as the pods crack, they are abandoned seeds, it is difficult to germinate in the future, I pick these seeds back, and then soak them in the dilution of life essence to make them mature, but unfortunately only one of the dozen seeds can survive, These are the only nine remaining of the more than 100 seeds I picked up. ”On the island in the middle of the lake in the distance, I saw Senior Luke standing at the door of the ecological park, waving to me and Ruka, who were sitting in the trees, and put his hands together in the shape of a microphone.Immediately, Senior Luke called out loudly in the air: "Ruka, it's time to eat!"
”"Hey!"
Ruka smiled and said to me, "Jiga, then I'll go eat first." ”As he spoke, his large, thick and calloused hands steadily put the seeds of nine wild steel flowers into the palm of my hand, and then we sat on the horizontal branch of the Taylor tree seven or eight meters high, supported the trunk with both hands, and jumped into the air under the tree, smashing it down like a cannonball.When Ruka was about to fall to the ground, he kicked the tree trunk with all his might, forcibly canceled the inertia of his body falling, and when he landed on the grass, he rolled forward twice, stood firmly under the Taylor tree, and then looked up and waved at me.Watching Ruka stride towards the island in the middle of the lake, I sighed in my heart: the Minotaur is really strong!
Glancing at the sky, I felt that the time was almost up, and deftly slid down from the tree and ran to the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic.The imperial capital today is different from the past, and people are hurrying through the long streets.A magic caravan that is not ordinary is quietly parked on the street corner, and the harrier eagle is painted on the carriage outside the caravan, and for some reason, this winged harrier eagle has four meat claws and a thin and long tail, the whole picture is extremely discordant, making this harrier eagle look extremely clumsy, I am afraid it is difficult to soar into the sky, I don't know which painter, the painting level is so clumsy.On this long street, near the Royal Academy of Magic, there were many magic caravans waiting for passengers like this, and several young men in trench coats walked up to the caravan, but after a while, there were a few not-so-happy arguments, and then they all walked off the magic caravan, grumbling incessantly, and disappeared into the dark street.I walked along the long street, and I clearly remember that Louis told me in the morning that there were people waiting for me on this street, but when I walked all the way out of the Royal Academy of Magic, I didn't see where the people arranged by Louis were hiding, and I didn't know what to do with the trap arranged in the evening.I'm secretly complaining now: The actor is already in place, but TM hasn't gotten the script yet, and the director doesn't know where to hide, is this just a farce?
It was getting dark, and the road was gradually becoming deserted, and a few young men who were chatting and chuckling were wandering the streets, and the knights of the guard battalion rode slowly over, and then ordered them to go home and not to go out of the house at night.The entire city is on the lookout for the heretics of the Dark Arts Order.Walking slowly and methodically on the street, there were four series of stone drum totems hanging on the belt inside the robe, a scroll of a magic shield hidden in the sleeve, and the other hand touched the magic belt, ready to take out the Shura battle axe in the waist bag, maybe my steps were a little stiff, so that the knight lord of the guard battalion looked at me with some doubts, with a suspicious look, but because I was wearing a magic robe and the three badges on my chest, I didn't dare to act rashly, just rode a horse and looked at me vigilantly.At this time, the magic caravan that was quietly parked in the corner suddenly moved, slowly moving forward, and when it reached my side, the speed slowed down again.I frowned, wondering where the hell was with Louis.In a trance, he waved his hand at the magic caravan and said softly to the master in the driver's seat: "Oh, coachman, I don't sit in the car!"
”The coachman, who had wrapped himself entirely in a black cloak, gently pushed his felt hat to reveal a handsome, young face, and the fierce gaze in his eyes swept over me, and then deliberately made his voice hoarse, and said to me simply: "Mr.
Magician, have you forgotten that appointment with Lord Louis in the evening?"
”I was speechless for a while, it turned out that this magic caravan was the person waiting for me, but there was no hint on the caravan at all, where could I recognize it.Sitting in the magic caravan that was about to drive to the Academy, I didn't understand where Louis got the confidence that I would be able to recognize the person he arranged for me to pick me up, and watching the street scene on both sides of the Royal Academy of Magic Street speeding backwards, my mind drifted to the scene where Scholar Sean gave me a lesson in the afternoon: those high-level magic runes were really difficult.Those complicated magic lines are not my obstacles, what makes me most entangled are the subtle treatments at the corners of the magic lines.Scholar Sean explained those magic talismans to me one by one, and in just one afternoon, I had learned all the high-level magic patterns that needed to be drawn for the magic of flexible thinking.Looking at the parchment on my desk full of magic runes, I knew that the circle of magic patterns that were flexible in my mind was no longer an obstacle for me.I said to the Sean Scholar with great gratitude, "I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, Sean Scholar. ”"It's not me who you should be thankful for, you know, it's your story that moved me!"
Scholar Sean glanced at Sister Guoguo, who was standing by the window, and then said to me with a smile like a warm spring breeze on her face.Quietly looking at the thorn algae growing in the fish tank on the windowsill, her face seemed to appear a faint smile, her expression was extremely focused, I know, it must be that I can't wait too long, all kinds of signs have already shown that Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit has obvious signs, indicating that she is on the verge of awakening her primary wisdom, I must speed up my pace to find the unknown answer.Scholar Sean closed the magic book on the table and said to me: "Fortunately you, oh, these high-level magic runes are basically water magic runes, which happen to be within the scope of water magic, I know more, if you ask about space magic, thunder magic or wood magic, I'm afraid I can't help you even if I want to." ”I looked up at his old face and wise eyes, and asked him a little innocently, "Why did you choose me in the first place?"
It can't be because I have a little bit of a wasteland experience, right?
And then there's a little bit of something in common with your old life, and then something resonates!
”Scholar Sean laughed twice: "Of course not, in fact, I have experienced a lot, when I was young, I not only traveled all over the Roland Continent, but also crossed the endless sea and saw the other side of the sea, not many people have the same experience as me, but I have experienced a different life, I have not been to a strange place, I will always blend in there, and then live quietly for a few years, the wolf orcs, minotaurs, liger people, and centaurs of the Pai Plateau have all left my footprints, the country of dwarves, the United Kingdom of Etiya."
In some of the miscellaneous books in the swamp country, my name will also be on it. ”"As for choosing you, of course, I have my considerations.Well, it's probably because the stone drum totem on your body attracted me, and when I saw you for the first time, I found that your spiritual power is very strong, which actually has a very big benefit, your meditation time is often much less than others, cultivation is not a very important thing for you, and you need to spend a lot less energy than other children, this is your talent, do you remember what I said to you in the martial arts hall?
”I said, "You said let me come to you in the library, and you taught me a job that would earn college points." ”Scholar Sean said: "That's right, in fact, what I valued at that time was precisely the power that your four-series stone drum totem possessed, with your current ability, you can completely join some teams that can go on missions."
In my opinion, the priests in the temple will not do any better than you, and you will have enough points to have access to the magic books in this treasure trove of knowledge, and I tell you a secret, the truly valuable magic books cannot be found on the first floor of the library. ”"There are always some people who can't refuse, maybe their status is noble, maybe their strength is strong, maybe I have a friendship with them for many years, and I have all kinds of invitations to me, yes, I have auxiliary water magic, I have a water elemental partner Grazdok, so I have to deal with a lot of people, and those things always make me unable to refuse, so I have always wanted to find a good water magician to be my spokesperson."
I had an idea and blurted out to him, "Is Mr.
Heidi also the spokesperson you once chose?"
”Sean Scholar nodded slowly and said: "She is a very talented water magician, but unfortunately her personality makes it difficult for her to integrate into the circle of high-level magicians, but it is too early to say anything, the choice between us is mutual, and once you decide, I will give you a lot of convenience, it will be something that will be inexhaustible for a magician in his life, a lot."
But you also need to sacrifice some of your own time to do something for me, and there will be a complete contract between us. ”"Don't be too anxious to make a decision, you can think slowly, and then make your own choice according to your own heart's will, time is a very long thing for me."
The magic caravan suddenly trembled slightly, this abnormal movement instantly pulled me back from the distant thoughts, my vision returned to this magic caravan, the first time I pinched the scroll of the magic shield in my hand, and the other hand quickly drew a magic pattern circle on my chest, a short spell from the mouth spit out, an ice shield appeared in front of my body, completely blocking me.At this time, I saw a black figure quietly appear in front of me, and saw him wearing a black hood, tall and burly, and his body quickly rushed into the carriage, and I wanted to unfold the scroll of the magic shield as soon as possible.At this time, the burly man in black had already lifted the hood on his head, and then revealed a familiar face, which turned out to be Louis, who had not appeared for a long time.My heart suddenly relaxed, the magic power between my fingers was quickly interrupted, and the magic shield that exuded a cold cold aura in front of my body quickly dispersed into water elements in the air and disappeared into the air."
Hey, Giga, it's me, Louis."
At the same moment, Louis's calm words rang in my ears.
