Volume 2 The Stars Chapter 22 The Passing Days
A letter from far northeast was delivered to Muen early in the morning on the day of the finals, opened in Karna's unpolished handwriting, saying that the end of the academy was also coming to an end, and that he had made his own way to the assembly place of Nogaku.
The path of the Karna team's wild hunt this time is in the goblin forest in the north of Aldan Province, so Mu En can go home and rest for a few days, and a list of things that need to be prepared is also attached to the letter.
"This bad thing is as bad as ever. Mu En scolded a few words with a smile and put the list away.
"If you have a ranking in the top eight, you can basically be sure that you will go straight to the inner courtyard, and it doesn't matter if you go back to the exam or not. "Dan's arm has fully recovered today under the maintenance of the magic circle, it's not that he can't recover overnight like Mordred, it's just that the quality of the way is more overdrawn body, the principle upheld by the tower courtyard is still not needed, it's just that Mordred still has to play today, if he doesn't want to abstain, he can only choose this way, otherwise no one can withstand a big hole in his right lung.
"Why didn't you come with us at the time?" Mu En was a little strange.
Dan took a bite of the pancake and said: "The two of you are already very strong, if you add me, the school will find a way to increase the difficulty a lot, it is estimated that we will not enter the rainforest at that time, maybe we will go all the way north to find trouble with the death legion." β
"It's an exaggeration, the Death Legion can't just take one out and rub us to the ground. β
"You know that there was a time when all the members of the wild hunting team took the teacher and the whole army was wiped out, right? I know that the four of them are the top eight in age of all members, and one of them is the only son of the hereditary marquis, and the matter is very big, and later the head of the Monroe family came out to mediate to solve this matter. β
"I know if there were six or a few dead that year, Karna told me. β
"Anyway, no matter how talented people are, they are easy to break, try not to get together, and when the time comes, you won't know who killed whomβunless you are the Pope of Diashon. Dan eats quickly, but he still pays more attention to etiquette, and from this point of view alone, the difference between him and Karna is not small, not to mention that Muen always feels that Karna's hippie smiling jokes every day make him skeptical of everything he says.
"Then listening to you say this, I think this wild hunt is not small. β
"No, the remaining two people in your team are the doglegs of the young master of the Monroe family, two wastes - I can't say that, but they are also at the end of the crane in the top academy, so for the sake of their lives, you won't have too much sadness, maybe the biggest trouble is to be careful that they drag you back. β
"Eh, don't be so mean, being able to be admitted to a top college means that they still have talent and hard work. β
"Geniuses and geniuses can clearly feel that the gap is actually huge. And studying books is really completely different from actual combat, so I especially admire you, you have such a circuit strength at such a young age, and your fists and feet are not even inferior to the southerners, and the magic circle you draw is so powerful, I often wonder if you have twice as much time every day as me. β
"Hahahaha, you're joking. When Mu En heard that he was touted like this, he had to say that his vanity was still greatly satisfied.
"I doubt that you are the legendary little angel, otherwise Lord Tavasis would have been an apprentice with such a talent. β
"Presumably if it was a little angel, he would have won Mordred. Mu En said modestly.
"If you're in the same perfect form as you were last semester, it's not like you don't have a chance to beat him. The Wizard newspaper often says that the four of you are the only gear, but I think the three of them are the first gear, and you are the only one. β
"If you say that again, I'm really going to float to the sky. β
In the semi-finals of the next division, it was very surprising that Chloe, who was relatively more favored, stopped here, and Abel entered the finals to face Mordred.
Originally, Muen was supposed to play a game with Chloe before the finals today to compete for the third place, but Muen said that he didn't care about such a ghost thing at all, so Chloe directly won the title of third place.
"Do you think you can beat her in a fight?" After breakfast, Mu En met Caesar, who had returned from a walk outside, this cold teenager seemed very close to nature and away from society.
Dan parted ways with Mu En after breakfast, and it seemed that he was going to go outside, and Mu En didn't ask what he was doing.
"I had some problems with my body last winter, and I was so depressed that I could barely lift my spirits for about 10 minutes, and I could faint at any time if I was any longer, just like I was in the quarterfinals that day. Mu En said sincerely.
Caesar nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What if it's just one fight?"
"It's hard to say, but I think it's going to be easier. β
"What a big breath. A crisp nightingale-like voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, and the two turned their heads in surprise, obviously not expecting that the words of the person behind them were heard by the parties, which may seem a little embarrassing.
Although Chloe said this, her face did not look angry, but half-leaned against the foot of the wall in a lazy posture, with a little playfulness and provocation in her eyes.
"It was me who was abrupt and apologized to the girl. Mu En immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth and bowed slightly to Chloe.
"What? Apologize? Why should you invite me to fight? If you win me, I'll give you the third place." β
Caesar snorted, "If it were to win you, even I could do it." β
"How do you know I'm not staying?"
"Okay, okay," Mu En said as a peacemaker, "this kind of thing, don't fight for a while, or we will become saints first, after all, everyone knows the clichΓ© 'cultivation is a long march' and the like." β
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you didn't become a saint?" Chloe smiled, already showing signs of falling city.
"Believe in yourself. Mu En smiled very innocently, but what she was thinking about was how to leave this ghost place quickly, the scene was too embarrassing.
"Muen, I find you quite funny, not as impersonal as you are in the arena. β
"Fight, you must be serious, after all, everyone is a respectable warrior. β
"Then we'll see you in the new tower courtyard - and you, handsome little guy named Caesar, to be honest, you are very manly. β
Caesar snorted in disgust.
Mu En stretched out his two hands and scratched his head frantically and said to Caesar: "In the future, this kind of thing, let's find a corner where no one is to talk, it's really embarrassing." β
"Your move is an imitation of Karna's, and although it is not as condensed as Karna's thunder spear, it is definitely not something she can stop. Seriously, if it had been Karna who was playing against him at the time, she would have been a dead man by now if she hadn't been thrown to help her stop. β
"How do I feel that you are a person who does not want to see men or women, such a lovely girl?"
"Meaningful?"
"Tut-tut, the adjudicators desperately need talent like you. β
"By the way, I have one more thing to do with you today. β
"Huh?"
"Teach me how to condense that rune, I've been thinking about it for two days and still don't have a clue. β
"Alas, I'm afraid it's not the top three in the next grade, all of them Karna. β
It takes three to four weeks for the custom-made dress to be produced, and it may take several more times to measure the various data of the body, but Mu En has no time, and he is like an arrow.
So Mr. Junzhu asked Mr. Neos to mail it directly to the Lei Yuan after he finished it, anyway, high-end customization like this can be modified for free for life.
This is the service of the upper class - otherwise I would be sorry for the gold coins that Mr. Junzhu had worked so hard to save!
"Tell me what is the use of you buying this dress, you children are the same every year, it's a waste of money. When he left the imperial capital, Mr. Junzhu, who had always been steady and gentle, began to think about it in pieces.
"It's really all Karna. Mu En said silently in her heart.
After that, Mr. Jun Mason will take the two teenagers back to the college, and Mu En will go back to his hometown, after exchanging blessings, the two teams parted ways, Mr. Jun Mason rented a carriage and ran all the way north, and Mu En ran all the way back.
Just kidding, I haven't done a teleportation array across provinces yet.
Tavasis appeared and struck his disciple with his staff.
"Oh, Master, what are you doing? Mu En scratched the place where he was beaten, looking very aggrieved.
"Your physical condition simply doesn't allow you to fight at that high intensity, and something will go wrong. β
"The virtue of a fighter! Oops!" Mu En shouted about the virtue of a fighter before he was beaten again.
"There is no warrior's virtue, you can live is the most contributing thing to the empire, before you become a great mage, all your thinking criteria are only to live, for this reason all the people around you can be abandoned, everything around you can be put down. β
"I disagree with you, sir. β
"I don't need your approval, it's an order, Muen. Your importance is beyond your own imagination, you are not an ordinary warrior, you are just like your senior brother who is simply extremely hard working and talented, why didn't the Elf King give you "Frozen City" or "Red Lotus"? In terms of lethality, how many secret methods in the world are higher than these two?"
"You must become a saint, this is your mission, and in order to achieve this goal, anyone can sacrifice for you, including me. β
"Even if I can become, it doesn't seem to be profitable to exchange a saint for a saint?"
"No, because you even have a chance to stand higher than Diason - I mean, he could have achieved something even higher than that. β
"The original achievement?"
"A lot of things happened many years ago, you don't need to know now, you will later. β
"Oh...... Good. β
"One more thing, you dare to use a signature technique like the Flame of the Burning City, do you think you are not good enough?"
"This is the only sixth-order magic I have released that knows how to reduce power. β
"No one will blame you for losing, you're only thirteen. β
"But I just want to shoot Mordred. β
Tawasis held his forehead, taking care of a child is indeed the most difficult thing in the world.
"Don't do this in the future, if you use it, you have to make sure that you are surrounded by people you can trust, and make sure that the enemy must die completely. β
"I remembered. β
"Let's go home and see. β
After Muen left, Tawasis rubbed his temples again, many things can still only be left to himself to be anxious, he is still too young, even if he says it, he doesn't understand, the child is not yet mature in his mind, many behaviors are unpredictable, this Tavasis arrangement has brought a lot of trouble.
In the final result, Abel still struggled to defeat Mordred despite all his might, but it was strange that both sides seemed to have agreed that they would not use their talents, which disappointed many people who wanted to see the gods descend again.
Some people say that he is actually synonymous with hard work, and his talent is not too good, and some people say that his talent is not suitable for fighting, but only he knows what it is.
The teleportation array where Mu En was standing lit up and dimmed, and the little man had disappeared, while on the other side, Mu En was kneeling on the teleportation array of the tallest tower in the capital of the Aldan Province, which was much more luxuriously decorated, and vomited.
"Oh my God, I've never been so embarrassed to play. β
The mage of the tower helped him up, recognized him as Mu En, a genius boy who went out for the Lei Yuan and won the fourth, and for a while they all stepped forward to shake hands with him, Mu En seemed to be so popular for the first time, and the apprenticeship ceremony seven years ago, everyone was more of an approving gaze, than like nowβas if welcoming a hero.
"Wait a minute, we're going to inform Lord Medanzo. "A high-level magician has unconsciously used an honorific title, this poor and remote province was only two magicians ten years ago, and now the personnel who take care of the magic array have been promoted to the level of high-level magicians, and it can be seen that they have improved.
After a while, Medanzo appeared at the door, along with Wilk, who had been promoted to a high-ranking magister because he had been fully fed.
"Your Excellency. Mu En bowed and saluted.
"No need to be polite," Medanzo knew his identity, so he hurriedly held him up. And Wilk is much more reserved, although he is more than 100 years old, he only has the Aoki robe of the tower, but he still puts on a senior posture, telling Mu En to guard against arrogance and rashness and continue to work hard.
"My lord, why does everyone seem to know me?"
"Let's talk about this on the road. Medanzo pointed to the door, motioning for him to follow him back to the lord's palace.
"I want to go back and see my parents first. β
"Just take them over. β
Sitting in the carriage, Medanzo raised a barrier to ensure that no one eavesdropped, "The little angel is unharmed. β
"Haha, no one has ever called me a little angel, it sounds pretty cute. β
"Don't worry, I didn't reveal your identity, I just said that you were a gifted child, so I sent you to the imperial capital very early. β
"Your Excellency, you don't have to be so angry, you have helped our family a lot, and I am very grateful to you. As for the question of identity...... Won't they associate my age with my vision?"
"That's why I declared that you were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, but because the vision of your talent was too big to overshadow your vision, you stayed in the province. β
"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about being scolded by my husband. β
"By the way, is there something wrong with the little angel's sudden return to his hometown this time?
"There are a few other things, our summer hunt is about to start, and it happens to be in the Goblin Forest, so I want to come back first. That's right - these are the things my classmates told me to prepare, and I don't know where to buy some of them, so I still need to help me prepare one or two. β
Medanzo took the note and nodded, "No problem."
"It's easy to prepare items, but I think it might be necessary to remind the little angel that the territory of the empire has not been peaceful lately. When your brother, Ansher, came to visit me, he was injured by a sneak attack by a group of sorcerers not far from the suburbs, so the little angel must stay in the city unless necessary. β
"Near the provincial capital?! What level can you hurt your senior brother? β
"Don't worry too much, the realm is not high, but Ansher was caught off guard and was stabbed, but ...... It is indeed a dereliction of duty for such a thing to occur near the provincial capital. β
"Okay, I'll be safe. Are my parents okay?"
"Rest assured, Ling Zun Lingtang is very healthy, he is a precious asset of our province, in every sense. Medanzo laughed.
In the luxurious hall, Mu En finally saw his parents after many years, and for a while, he had mixed feelings, and fell into his mother's arms and began to whimper, and there was no reason to speak of.
When I returned home after dinner, I found that I had moved again, to a larger and more luxurious villa area, surrounded by the gentlemen and nobles of the province, and the Medanzo family's castle was less than three kilometers away.
"It's so new. After Mu En entered the door, he was surprised by the maintenance of the house, although it was not as prosperous as the tower and not as atmospheric as in the academy, but it was enough to be the envy of ordinary people, and several servants saluted this young master who had never met before, like a dream.
Mu En immediately liked this place, not because it was big or because there were people serving him, of course he had much better conditions in the imperial capital.
It's just because it's reassuring to him.
He had never felt like there was a place that would make him feel so reassuring, only here.
Because here is his family, there are his parents, and this is the place where he can take off all his guards.
Thinking like this, Mu En passed out straight, scaring everyone.
That night, heavy clouds shrouded the imperial capital, and heavy rain poured down amid lightning and thunder.
On the highest bell tower of Neptune Cathedral, a dark shadow stood there, as if the clouds and rain had come because of him.
"Mordred, you didn't disappoint me. Diaxun didn't look back, looking at the world outside the bell tower, his voice was thin and indifferent.
"If it weren't for the little angel's ill health, I'm afraid I wouldn't have won't be able to win. Mordred knelt behind her master, her head bowed.
"Then why don't you give it your all?"
"By the time I found out, it was too late......"
"Hmph......" Diaxun sneered, "Such carelessness, you still want to go all the way north to clear the upside-down hangers?
"I'm sorry!
"What are you sorry for me?" Diaxun turned his head, his long black hair fluttering in the wind.
"It's not me you're sorry for, it's not this competition, it's the danger you might have and your life. You talk about respecting your opponent, but you are still arrogant in your heart. β
"You've had too much of a smooth life, but you're bowing your eyebrows in front of someone you are destined to be unbeatable. β
"How can I have a disciple like you. β
When Mordred raised his head again, Diason was no longer there, he burst into tears, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had been hovering on the line of life and death several times......
