114. The early morning of the coming-of-age ceremony


The first rays of sunlight shine through the glass windows of the attic on the writing desk, the attic of this rented house looks a little messy, half of it is stuffed with items that the owner does not need and is reluctant to discard, such as wooden ladders, easels, square wooden tables, rainproof curtains, wrought iron flower pots, some inexplicable tool racks, and the shelves are also filled with some small tools that can be used in daily life, such as small hammers, hacksaws, flower scissors, etc., and the oak floor is full of dust, clearly printed a row of footprints.Deborah leaned on the attic window, looking into the attic with a curious probe, her two wings flapping back and forth in the window, making a whirring sound, rolling up waves of air, and shouting to me in a sweet voice: "Jijia, it's time to get up!"

Jijia, it's time to get up!

”I threw a pillow at the window in frustration, causing Deborah to scream and fly away.There was a knock on the door, and Caterina walked in with her toiletries in her hand.The attic of the rented house was a bit low, only the middle ridge part of the house allowed people to stand up straight, and she pursed her lips and said to me, "You should rent a bigger house, then it won't be so much trouble." ”When I rented such a small attic, it was for little Ella to go to school in the imperial capital, and it was still a house that Helena helped to find, and I didn't expect so many people to live in, Caterina usually rarely complains to me, it seems that everyone is crowded into such a small residence, which is really very inconvenient."

Okay, let's go back and find a bigger house again, this time the harvest outside Vasqi, even if it is to buy a big manor here in the imperial capital, it should be enough!"

I got up from the bed, wiped my face briefly, and said to Katarina.Caterina thought about it seriously, she picked up a beautifully made white shirt, put it on for me, and said: "If you want to buy a manor, the first and second blocks are not to think about it, it is a gathering place for princes and nobles, every inch of land is expensive, and those who can live there must have enough prestige in addition to being rich. ”I tidied up the buttons on the cuffs myself, this white shirt is very delicate, I can't help but have white dark embroidery on it, the fabric is also made of spider silk pattern cloth, the buttons are a fingernail-sized emerald gemstone inlaid on a gold pedestal, the back of the button is even engraved with the name of the gem craftsman, it fits me very well, I can't believe that the young man standing in front of the mirror is actually himself.There is also a pair of long pants and a pair of short leather boots of the same workmanship on the tray next to it, I can't see what kind of leather the boots are made of, the style is the most popular kind of tiptoe in the imperial capital, I didn't expect that Lady Arya actually carefully prepared a set of dresses for the coming-of-age ceremony, including shirts, trousers and short leather boots.As Caterina crouched down to help me tie my shoes, she said to me, "As for the third block where the Royal Academy of Magic is located, you see those people who are eager to expand the courtyard of their homes to the street, as long as they are from the imperial capital, they all want to squeeze into the third and fourth blocks, and this area is probably difficult to buy suitable ones." ”Then she thought about it and added: "Actually, the villa in the fourth block is also quite good." ”I didn't expect her to know so much about the housing prices in the imperial capital, and I couldn't help but ask her: "What about the fifth block?"

”Caterina looked up, pulled me to the window, and pointed to a gray ridge in the distance, her white fingers drawing a large arc in the air, an area a little far from the shore of Weiyang Lake.Deborah was squatting on the ridge of the roof, very indecently lifting her long skirt, holding a big in both hands, and was looking at it curiously, the was so frightened that she trembled all over, and actually fell straight into Deborah's palm and pretended to be dead, which made Deborah laugh.Caterina said to the introduction: "The fifth block is completely a place where businesses gather, the houses there are all piled up with gold, and a large piece of land has been allocated to the elves and has become the elven living area, Jijia, if you want to buy a manor, it is estimated that you can only choose the sixth and seventh blocks, I think the area of Bednar Square in the sixth block is not bad, next to the Campbell Sanatorium, the seventh block is not very good, there are too many workshops there, and they are all to the outermost part of the imperial capital." ”I asked her curiously, "How do you know so much about the housing prices in the imperial capital?"

”Caterina blushed and lowered her eyes to meet me."

Hehe, I'd love to know, how did Lady Arya convince you to help her say this?"

I put my arm around Katerina's soft waist and whispered in her ear.Caterina looked away, refusing to make eye contact with me or say why.Hearing the sound of a fight coming from downstairs, I poked my head out the window and saw Justes and Minotaur Ruka battling on the lawn.In order to avoid the shocking eyes of the neighbors, Justes did not expose the bone spurs in his body, but held a Western thin sword and fought with Ruka, Ruka's moon blade axe moves are fierce and fierce, pay attention to opening and closing, and respond to the enemy purely with strength, and Justes has the blood of a half-kraken in his body, and the wrists, elbows, knees, ankles and backs can freely grow more than a meter long bone spurs, and the bone spurs on Justus's body can easily pierce the light shield of ordinary knights, so his moves completely cater to his own characteristics, It was figured out by itself after countless battles, that is to say, it can be regarded as a wild road.Because Justes couldn't use the bone spurs he was good at, and it was inconvenient to meet the enemy with the Western rapier in his hand, he was pressed and beaten by the Minotaur Ruka, and he could only rely on his body coordination to barely resist Ruka's overwhelming attack, and Justes was forced by the Minotaur Ruka to be in danger.Standing under the eaves, Karantso couldn't help but say to the side: "Justes, didn't you have breakfast?"

Or are you bored when you leave the Vasqui Sea?

How was he bullied like this by Ruka?

”Justes was already at a disadvantage, and was forced into a dead corner by the turner Ruka, and the western rapier had no way to block the minotaur's slash, so he simply threw the western rapier on the ground, signaled to admit defeat, and after high-fived the minotaur Ruka to show his gratitude, he bent down and picked up the western rapier from the grass, put the western rapier into the scabbard, and said to Karantso: "I was bullied by this big man because I couldn't use it on the lawn." ”"Cut, usually on the sea boat, I haven't seen you win a few times!"

Karantso sneered before speaking.In the face of Karantso's ridicule, Justes retorted unconvinced: "I still won." ”After a few battles, we slowly got acquainted with each other, and we all had a good relationship with each other, Justus was the kind of person who could afford to joke, and he found the soul horn, which made him fulfill his greatest wish, and now he just wants to follow me around and see, this world is really big.Karantso gestured at the turner, Ruka, with his double-edged broadsword, and asked him to fight, but Ruka shook the huge bull's head like a rattle and rejected Karantso."

I don't want to hurt the lawn in the yard!"

The honest minotaur found a far-fetched reason, and after speaking, he put away the moonblade axe in his hand, without giving Karantso a chance to make a move, turned around and left, it seems that the minotaur has also learned to be smart.I withdrew my gaze and turned to walk towards the door."

Prepare, let's go to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute to meet Qige in the morning, and the coming-of-age ceremony will start in the afternoon, right?"

I hunched over and walked out of the attic and said to Katarina.Caterina followed me and readily agreed, "Yes!

”Sitting on the chair at the head of the table, with a magic newspaper in his hand, a bottle of golden cider, a french fries and a fried fish in front of him, and a glass of golden cider for breakfast, which is a peculiar habit of the Elders, when he saw me coming down from the upper floor, he gave me a faint look and asked me if I would like a drink.I shook my head, indicating that I would be out later.Nancy stood in the kitchen, holding a plate to bring out the polenta in the pot, and when she saw me coming down from the upper floor, she smiled softly and said, "Jijia, what do you want for breakfast?"

”After saying that, she pointed to Ruka and Karantso outside the house, and asked me, "I don't know what those servants like to eat, I don't know if it's okay to eat French fries, fried fish, and polenta for breakfast?"

”"Of course, this breakfast is very generous."

I took the big pot of rice porridge she had prepared, motioned for Caterina to help me pick up all the big pot of fries, and carried them outside the house, saying as I went, "But Ruka's meal is a bit large, and he eats vegetarian food, so it's best to have ten wheat cakes besides these things." ”"Okay, I'll prepare."

Nancy, apparently not preparing the wheat cakes, was busy rummaging through the flour and was stopped by me."

Don't bother, that guy Ruka has a lot of wheat cakes in his bag, and he likes to tear up the wheat cakes and soak them in the polenta, so that he can have a good meal!"

I said to Nancy, who was a little overwhelmed.Nancy held a few cabbages in her hand and asked me, "Why don't I mix another vegetable salad for Mr.

Minotaur?"

”"That's a good idea, but won't it be too much trouble?"

I said to Nancy.Nancy shook her head and said, "It's going to be done very quickly." ”Since Nancy came to our house, three meals a day have been prepared by Nancy, Fanny hates cooking very much, and never steps into the kitchen, Nancy's cooking skills are very good, she makes every meal very carefully, and it is also delicious, but somehow, sometimes I miss Fanny's bland cereal porridge even more.At this time, Fanny was standing by the window, looking curiously at Ruka and their morning exercises, and when she saw me walking in from outside the house, she quickly pointed to the roof, and said to me curiously, "That winged girl on the roof is also your follower?"

”I stood in the doorway and hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly and admitting, "Yes, her name is Deborah, but she's not a Wingman." ”Fanny walked up to the window, put a hand on my shoulder, and shouted, "Giga." ”I looked at her quizzically and asked, "Huh?"

What's wrong, Fanny?

”There was a faint sense of loss in Fanny's eyes, which was a sense of loss that only breeds when she sees her child about to grow up.She stroked my hair with her hand, her eyes were full of reluctance, and before she could speak, her eyes were a little red.Fanny said to me slowly, "You are here in the imperial capital, you have changed a lot all of a sudden, our Jiga has finally grown up, I and Ryan are almost unrecognizable to you, you are the pride of all of us." ”I put my arms around Fanny's shoulders, put my head on her, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Fanny, I think I'm still the same as before, see if I've grown a little taller?

”Fanny rubbed her reddened eyes and said to me, "You're going to have to come back to El City to see us often." ”I was a little speechless, and whispered: "Fanny, I'm just going to school here in the imperial capital, I've thought about it, I'll return to the north after graduation, maybe I'll serve in the North Wind Legion first.""

Are you telling the truth?"

Fanny immediately burst into tears and asked me with some excitement."

Of course it's true!

Three months ago, I met Jingyue in Sloit.

Duchess Ellie, this matter has been told to her!

Hey, why are you thinking so much about it first, I still need three years to graduate from here, let's discuss the matter of the coming-of-age ceremony first, I have something to do in the morning, I need to go out for a while, at noon, I will come back to pick you and Lyant, the coming-of-age ceremony is on the side of the Imperial City Mansion Square, not too far from here!

”I said to Fanny."

If you have something to do, if you can't come back in time for noon, then go directly to the square, and I will meet you at the square!"

Fanny said thoughtfully."

I'd better come back and pick you up!

The municipal square of the imperial capital is much bigger than you think, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and you won't even want to find me. ”I reached out from Katerina's plate, grabbed a fried fish and took a bite, then beckoned to her and said, "Go." ”Caterina hurriedly put the plate on the side of the table, stuffed the remaining half of the fried fish into her mouth, wiped her hands, and walked out of the house with me.After talking to Karantso, I took Katerina to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, and Karantso asked me in surprise, "Aren't you going to report to the Academy of Magic?"

”"The matter of reporting, let's talk about it tomorrow, I have more important things to do, you and Justes stay at home and wait for me, I'll go first!"

I said to Karantso.With that, as soon as I walked out of the courtyard with Katerina, I saw Lady Arya rush out of the house, chase after me, and shout to me, "Wait a minute, Giga. ”I stopped and turned to look at her.Lady Arya carried the snow-white hem of the palace-style long skirt, quickly caught up, and said, "I have made an appointment for a magic caravan, you are going to the magic research institute, I happen to be going to the textile workshop, we will stop by the way, I can give you a ride!"

”"That's great!"

I said to Alia, who was out of breath after running a few steps, and then thanked her: "I also want to thank you in person, thank you for the dress you prepared for me, it was really good!"

”Lady Arya's personal maid held a book of accounts and followed closely behind her, looking at me with all her might.At this time, a magic caravan slowly drove up and stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
