"You're looking for me?" Zero asked in a flat tone, looking at Isley in front of him.

At the back door of the Dinas Troupe tent, the lights here were a little dim, and Zero was standing in the shadows, with a slender Iselly standing in front of her, who had been staring at Zero's face, making him a little uncomfortable.

"Did I disturb you?" asked Iselie.

"It's okay...... If you have anything, just say it. Zero said flatly.

"It's not a big deal...... "It's just that I didn't expect to see you again, so I wanted to talk to you." ”

"Oh......" Zero replied, "Thank you for what happened last time." ”

Ethley stroked her somewhat messy sideburns and said, "It's nothing, it's my royal brother's fault, I should apologize to you on his behalf." ”

Zero didn't speak, glanced at Iseri, then turned her eyes to look at the shopping street not far away, and Isely looked at his face and asked, "But why are you lying? You said you were tourists from afar......"

"This ......," Zero said, gesturing to the tent behind him, "I just don't want to bother everyone." ”

Iseley laughed, revealing her white teeth, and she looked at Zero and said, "You're kind." ”

Zero didn't speak, and the two were silent again. Isley looked at Zero's silver-gray eyes, which were still clear in the shadows, and asked, "You...... Got your hair cut?"

Zero nodded and said, "For the sake of performance, you can't always wear your hair all the time." ”

Iseley stared at Zero's face for a long moment, and Zero felt a little embarrassed, and he coughed dryly and turned his gaze away.

Iselly chuckled and lowered her eyelids, then she asked Zero, "Well, ...... Did you see it somewhere else? I'm not talking about the meeting I had at the clothing store two days ago. ”

"No......" Zero replied bluntly.

"Have you ever been to the Crimson Empire? I went to school there in the city of Vansey, I mean...... Maybe we met there. Iselly asked, looking into Zero's eyes.

Zero shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although I grew up on the border of Scarlet Rich, I really haven't been to the ...... of Vansyhi."

"Oh, that's it......" Iselle laughed as she covered her mouth, and then she looked into Zero's eyes again, and Zero coughed a little uncomfortably, looking away.

"You...... You look a lot like an acquaintance of mine......" said Iselie, staring intently into Zero's silver-gray eyes.

"Maybe it's because I'm a public face. Zero replied nonchalantly.

"He's got silver-gray eyes and curly brown hair, just like you......" Isley said.

"There are a lot of people in this world who have silver-gray eyes and brown hair......" Zero interrupted Isely helplessly.

Iselly glanced at Zero's face, and she smiled and said seriously, "But not everyone has eyes like his......"

"Miss Isery, you may be mistaken, I ...... I'm just an ordinary person. Zero pursed his lips and fell silent.

"Perhaps," Iselle laughed a little relieved at his words, "but I haven't seen him for a long time...... Suddenly, when I saw someone who looked very similar to him appear in front of me, I couldn't help but want to take a few more looks. ”

Zero looked into Isery's eyes and asked her casually, "Is he important to you?"

"He, he'...... Someone who has had a great influence on me all my life," replied Iselly earnestly, "he is very important to me. ”

Zero nodded, pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows to look away, and Iselly looked away. After a few moments, she said quietly, "He's dead......"

"......" zero was silent.

He saw Iseley's grumpy eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, no offense." ”

Isley shook her head and said "It's okay", then she looked up slightly at the tall herringbone tent behind him and asked, "Have you always been with the troupe?"

Zero didn't speak, just nodded. Iselly looked at him again and asked, "Your name is zero?"

Zero then nodded, grinning and asking rhetorically, "Or else?"

Iselly laughed too, and the two looked at each other for a long moment of silence.

After a few moments, Iselly said to him, "It's time for me to go, and I wish you a happy life, Mr. Zero." ”

Zero nodded, didn't speak, and Isely gave him a deep look, pursed her lips and smiled and nodded, before turning away.

Zero watched as Isely's back faded into the bustling streets, drowning in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he looked up at the starlight in the sky and let out a long breath.

"Dead......" he muttered.

Late at night, inside the herringbone tent of the Dinas Amusement Troupe.

The night was dark, the commercial street outside the tent was sparsely populated, most of the storefronts were closed, and the street lamps emitted a lonely light on the side of the street. After a busy day of performances, the troupe was a little exhausted and packed up the venue for a belated dinner in the tent.

Zero had no appetite, and after a few bites of food, he was full, and he was sitting on a wooden box far away from the crowd, holding the piece of paper that Josevi had left him in his hand, staring down at the pattern on it in contemplation.

Gadu noticed Zero in a daze, he took a bite of rice with his rice bowl, and walked up to him as he ate and asked, "What's the matter?" young man. ”

Zero looked up and noticed Gadu standing in front of him, he quickly put the piece of paper in his hand into his pocket, and then smiled at Gadu and said, "It's nothing ......"

"Can I sit next to you?" asked Gadu, taking a bite of food from his rice bowl.

"Of course, at will. Zero finished and moved his ass to the side.

Gadu sat next to Zero and asked him as he ate, "Are you done eating?"

Zero nodded and said, "I'm done eating, I'm done eating early." ”

"You didn't eat much, did you? I just saw that you didn't eat much, and after a few bites, I put the bowl down. Gadu said as he looked sideways at Zero.

After hearing this, Zero laughed awkwardly, he nodded and looked at the ground with his eyes down and said, "I don't have much appetite......"

"Look at your unyielding appearance, alas, did the princess pull you out and tell you something?" asked Gadu to him.

"Princess?" Zero raised his eyes and looked at Gadu, "It has nothing to do with her, she just talked to me casually, mainly to apologize to us, didn't you all hear about the last time I went out shopping with Youli and Sister Lanya, Her Royal Highness the princess thought that his royal brother was too rude, so he just apologized to me." ”

"Oh~ That's good, that's good......" Gadu nodded and took two bites of food to eat, "Actually...... It was the head of the regiment who asked me to ask you, the princess came to the door, and the head of the regiment was afraid that he would accidentally cause some trouble. ”

Zero nodded in understanding. Gadu continued: "Let's let those nobles be scared, they can't be provoked, they can't be provoked, hehe......"

Gadu shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, Zero followed and tugged at the corners of his mouth, and did not speak again, Gadu sat by himself and ate his meal. When Gadu was about to finish eating, Zero suddenly thought of something, turned his face to Gadu who was sitting next to him and asked, "Alas, Uncle Gadu, I heard from the people in the group that you traveled south and north on the mainland when you were young, then you must have seen a lot." ”

Gadu glanced at Zero and said while eating the food in the bowl: "It is not enough to be knowledgeable, that is, to walk a little more than others, and to encounter more things......"

"Well, this ......," Zero said, taking out the piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to Gadu, asking him, "Do you know this pattern?"

Gadu chewed the food in his mouth, turned his face and frowned, and carefully looked at the pattern on the piece of paper that Zero was holding, that special pattern was composed of a magic circle and a sword, and in front of the mysterious and complex eight-pointed star circle stood two crossed swords.

Gadu finished eating the food in his mouth, raised his eyes to look at Zero, then turned his face to eat the rest of the food in the bowl, Zero was looking at him suspiciously, he then turned his face to look at Zero and asked, "You don't recognize this?"

"I ...... I've seen a little ......" Zero smiled awkwardly, thinking that if I knew, I wouldn't need to ask you.

"Are you still a magician, young man?" asked Gadu again.

"Uh...... I ...... "Zero doesn't know how to answer."

"This ......," Gardu said to Zero solemnly, pointing to the pattern on the piece of paper, "the emblem of Santias College." ”

"Santias Academy......" Zero muttered as he looked at the pattern on the piece of paper.

"Stantias College, the top university in the whole continent, brings together talents from all walks of life in the whole continent. The academy teaches students a variety of knowledge, from the cultivation of warriors' fighting spirit, martial arts and combat skills, as well as a variety of scientific and effective physical training, to the elemental condensation of magicians, spell enchantments, magic machines or alchemy enchantments, etc., whether you can think of it or what you can't think of, it is all taught. The people who graduated from the Academy of Santias are all talents, and it is the holy place in the hearts of all warriors and magicians, you kid, you don't even know this?"

"That's amazing!" Zero exclaimed heartily.

"That's~" Gadu gave a thumbs up, feeling that the name of Saint Tias came out of his mouth was something he could be proud of.

"Do you know how to get in there?" Zero asked.

"You want to go?" asked Gadu as he looked at Zero with an expectant expression.

After seeing Zero nodding, Gadu laughed twice and said to him: "Young man, it's not that I hit you, ordinary people want to enter Santias Academy, it's difficult! It's even more difficult! If it's an ordinary institution of higher learning on the mainland, you kid will study from scratch and study steadily, but if you want to enter Santias Academy, it really doesn't mean that you can get in if you want to." ”

"How hard is it?" asked Zero.

Gadu looked at Zero's appearance in the world, shook his head and said to him with a smile: "Let me tell you this, those who can enter there are talents, talents among talents, but when those talents enter the Santias Academy, they will find that their little intelligence and wisdom are not enough to see, because they are all geniuses!"

Zero was a little stunned in his heart, he pursed his lips and sat in place in silence, Gadu looked at him, chuckled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be depressed, I think when I was young, I also had a dream of entering Santias, and I ran to apply for the exam with confidence, who knew that the people who applied for the exam with me were more than one by one, it was really eye-opening at that time, and I didn't pass the exam smoothly, haha...... There are freaks in the Santias Academy, and it is said that the sword saints on the continent who have heads and faces are all graduated from the Santias Academy. We are just ordinary people, we can't compare with those freaks, just live our lives with peace of mind. ”

After Gadu finished persuading, he walked away with his rice bowl, leaving Zero alone to sit and look at the piece of paper in his hand and ponder.
