As late autumn approached, Muen received a letter from the academy, with nostalgic prints on the envelope and paper.

The gilded Kungunir emblem is made of a special substance that gives off a light and long-lasting floral fragrance with a scent like an orchid.

The envelope is not thin, and it may feel like it is nearly ten pages to the touch. Unraveling the simple insurance circle above, the handwriting was a little unfamiliar, but after reading a few paragraphs, Mu En knew who the letter was.

I have to say that there is an inexplicable loss in my heart, and when he knew that the letter was from the Lei Yuan, he also had some inexplicable hopes, hoping that some miracle could happen, but unfortunately, this letter came from Dan.

He said something about himself and the recent situation of the academy in the letter, saying that after a few fewer people, he suddenly felt that the academy was empty, but the men who aspired to become warriors naturally did not pass the ruler just because of this little feeling, the second and third sheets of the letter were to say some recent learning and books recommended by the academy, Mu En simply swept through ninety percent of the books he had read, but reading is to make up for the gaps in his thinking, even if only one is one that Mu En has not read, it is considered a great gain.

In the last few pages, suddenly from words to a large number of formulas, some of which Mu En had even heard of, Dan briefly introduced in the letter that this was a small magic circle deduced by his talent, which had an effect similar to that of a siphon, but could not supplement himself. Mu En copied a few formulas on paper, and then began to deduce, during which some unclear places opened his teacher's book and cracked it quickly, and then Mu En rearranged the formulas and then urged them with magic power, the dark blue light belonging to the arcane light lit up, and small runes fluttered in the palm of his hand.

"Simon, come here. Mu En shouted outside the study.

Simon was talking to the guests who came to pay his respects at the bottom of the building, and suddenly the voice of the young master who "has something to go out" came from the study, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

But in any case, the merchant stood up and told Simon that he would come to visit again, and Simon could only laugh and send him out the door, and finally explained unconvincingly before the merchant got into the carriage.

"I don't know when the young master came back, and I didn't pay attention to it, delaying your time. ”

The merchant's face looked better, and he said that it was all right, and then called the coachman to set off.

Simon pushed open the door to the study, and was about to complain when he suddenly found that his magic was being drained uncontrollably and could not be suppressed. This startled him, and he immediately shattered the arcane rune that disappeared at the end of the magic power, and the rune shattering and absorption stopped.

Mu En nodded and beckoned him over and asked him a few questions.

"You're using me as a test subject?"

"It's weakened, and it's not dangerous, what are you afraid of. Tell me, how many units of mana are missing......"

By the time Muen had done everything he could, he looked up at the window and it was already late at night, during which he had fallen asleep three times, which made him feel that time was too useless.

Muen fetched the envelope and paper, intending to reply to the letter.

"To my friend Dan:

Your gift is too expensive for me to just accept it.

I hope you don't mind if I change it into an immature arcane rune, which isn't as magical as your original circle and won't work even after it's broken.

But the good thing is that it can last without breaking, and the mana that is devoured will be very small - about one percent of the mana can feed itself, and the rest is the consumption to maintain its own existence, but it is undoubtedly not mature enough.

If you can agree, I'd like to send a sample of this rune to an elder of good character, who may help us make this rune even better.

Enclosed with a draft, not thanks. ”

After Mu En finished writing, he wrote the inscription in flower font at the end, and then sealed it with fire paint and stamped it, and then he was going to rest, and when he stood up, he felt that the whole world was floating, which was obviously a manifestation of excessive mental power consumption.

After many days, it was so long that a letter came to me when one of Mu En thought that Dan had rejected the matter, and it was an ordinary mail on very ordinary letterhead, with only one word on it: Okay.

Mu En couldn't laugh or cry, it's really a loss to spend money for this kind of thing, and the postage is really not cheap.

After that, Mu En redrew the drawing and sent it to his teacher, and the matter was over.

The days seem to have fallen into boredom again, but Mu En is no longer as decadent as before, he has always maintained his studies and practice, and then he seems to have the potential to become a writer, often standing alone by the window, the rice field, and the hills, and the king's wishes, I don't know what I'm thinking, but I just think that the emotions of the teenager will not be so complicated, but some hazy feelings are at work.

And for so long, the only thing that can make Mu En feel happy, I'm afraid is that his parents who haven't been at home all year round have finally returned home, in fact, the time that Mu En wants to stay with them is not as much time as he studied at school, counting the years when he was a child, in fact, the people who accompany him most often are those in the tower, but Mu En still relies on his parents, as long as he is by their side, he will have a heavy sense of security.

He sat in the living room and shared what he knew and learned with his parents, and just like that, he talked from morning to evening, and even so, Mu En still felt that there was too much to talk about.

When it comes to Karna and Tim, Rao is a man with an outstanding tongue doesn't know how to comfort him, he only says that time will fade those scars, but Mu En doesn't believe it, how can such a vivid pain and sadness be diluted by time?

Maybe all teenagers will disagree when they read the sentence that time is like flowing water, and when they really understand it, even if their appearance has not changed much, their souls have already been weathered.

The parents said that they hurried back because they knew the news of what happened in the city, and the implication was already obvious, but Mu Encai stopped talking a few times and begged them to stay with him for a while.

The man thought about it for a long time, but finally agreed as if he had lost the clarity in Mu En's eyes. Hearing that the butler said that the man planned to donate a large sum of money specifically to strengthen the city defense of the province, Mu En estimated the purchasing power of that number and found that he couldn't imagine it.

At the beginning, Ansher gave his exclusive prescription to the lord Mei Danzuo, and Mei Danzo handed over the business task to Mu En's parents, and promised to give Mu En's parents forty percent of the shares, so many years have passed, and it turned out that Mu En's family was already a rich party in a trance, but the decoration of this house and the configuration of the servants are quite low-key, normally a family with such financial resources must be the object of the big and small nobles, and now it should be a nobleman who can have his own family crest.

It's just that Muen's parents rejected all the titles and seemed to have no interest in integrating into high society, which has become a strange thing.

Mu En spent half a month like this, and his parents still had to leave after all, but the man promised that he and his mother would come back as soon as possible, Mu En nodded and didn't keep it anymore. When parting, the woman seemed to be a little crying, as if she was feeling sorry for the sensible child who was too early.

After the carriage departed with the smoke, Muen turned his head to look at Simon, who was unsightly and feared that he would be used as a test subject.

"They're not the same anymore. Unexpectedly, after being silent for a while, Mu En suddenly said.

"What?" Simon didn't quite understand.

"The feeling they gave me...... It's different from the original. ”

"People are going to become, young master. The housekeeper smiled and said to Mu En, "Although I haven't seen the young master when he was a child, the master and the hostess often mention it, but when I actually see you, there is still a big gap between it and the words." ”

Mu En shook his head and said, "You don't understand. ”

At night, Mu En sat alone in the courtyard, although it was late autumn, but because the geographical location of Aldan Province was quite northern, there were still mosquitoes, flies and cicadas remaining, so he urged the electric light from time to time to split the mosquitoes that wanted to suck his own blood in the air.

The house seems to have become strange, the housekeeper is a person who he can't seem to see through, and many of the little habits of the parents have disappeared, replaced by other knee-jerk actions.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, so how can it be said that the habit that has been cultivated for nearly 40 years can be changed? Not to mention that it is harmless.

"Simon. Muen spoke suddenly, and he noticed Simon coming out of the door, for Simon's footsteps were steady but cheerful.

"My lord, the autumn festival is coming soon, do you have any ideas?"

"No...... Simon, I felt uneasy, I always felt that a plot against me had been uncovered by me. ”

"Why did you say that to me, I'm an outlaw, do you trust me so much?" Simon said with a slight teasing as he walked over to the chair beside Munn and sat down.

"I hope you don't live up to that trust. Mu En looked at him with a calm look in his eyes.

"What do you want me to do?" Simon bent down, keeping his eyes level with Mu En, not on top of him.

"I don't want you to do anything," Muen shook her head, "I just want to talk to someone." ”

"Why is it just that. ”

"Because I know very well that I don't have the strength and capital to resist, not all conspiracies are for slaughter, and some are for secrecy. ”

"What's the secret?"

Mu En laughed when she heard this slightly stupid question, "If I knew, then there would be no point in this, it's just...... It must be a very big secret that can make my parents change their habits, and we definitely have a master in our family. ”

"Butler?" Simon immediately thought of the most likely candidate.

"I don't think so, if Mr. Butler is really hiding his strength, then his circuit shouldn't be so stable, without the slightest breath leaking, I think this is beyond the scope of my cognition. ”

Simon patted Mu En's back and said, "Actually, in my opinion, young master, you may have experienced too much recently, so you are a little nervous, don't worry, when it comes to the Poseidon Festival, we will go to the next province to have fun together." As for people, they need to combine work and rest, otherwise they will collapse sooner or later. ”

Mu En nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The autumn festival is used to worship the gods in order to thank the gods for a good harvest and to hope that the gods will bless next year's harvest.

In the north, you can achieve three harvests a year, so in fact, you have never paid much attention to this autumn festival, but with the continuous improvement of living standards, people began to pursue more and more cultural and entertainment life, and gradually the autumn festival has become a big festival in the north, and it has also derived a completely different atmosphere from the south.

Relatively speaking, the people in the south are more religious, while the north is more unrestrained and entertaining, so gradually, this time of year will attract many nobles to travel to the north of the empire, but because the province of Aldan is too small and relatively poor, it has not eaten much festival dividends, and even those who have the ability will go to the neighboring provinces to increase the performance of their lords.

In the north, in order to satisfy the desires of the wealthy, the autumn festival evolved into a long-term event that lasted for nearly a month before and after the harvest until the early winter.

On the day of the first day, each lord has to give a speech, and naturally all the nobles who have been ordained have to gather together, so they often choose to play around their fiefdom during the activities before the main day, and then set off to the north to avoid the grinding winter.

"Muen. Just when Mu En was going to go directly to the next province with Simon on this day, before he left the house, a familiar carriage stopped in front of his manor.

"Chloe, why are you here? Mu En was a little surprised, but his face didn't show much.

But no matter what, the top colleges won't be on vacation right now.

"I asked for leave to come out for a walk, you want to go out?"

"Yes, I'm going to go with my penciler to the next door in the province of Sakovík to feel the festive spirit...... A lot has happened lately, and Simon has advised me to learn to relax my nerves. ”

Chloe nodded to Simon, who was speechless, and his heart had exploded.

"Damn, if my memory is not wrong, she she she...... She should be the granddaughter of Grandmaster Aiolos?!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble a little, this is a real big man, not only because of her talent, but also because of the family crest engraved on her car door.

For a moment, Simon actually forgot to salute him.

Chloe also noticed this, so she teased at Mu En: "Your knife and pen officer, the shelf is not small~"

Because Simon was standing behind him, Mu En didn't know either, and when he heard this, he looked back at Simon and raised his eyebrows.

"Ahem, it's rude, I'm a bard, and I've been commissioned by Lord Mu'en, hoping to follow Lord Mu'en to complete the epic throughout this era. ”

"Aspiring. Chloe slightly, she couldn't quite understand Mu En's thoughts anyway, so she simply didn't ask.

"Do you want to come with me?" Muen invited.

When Chloe heard this, she suddenly smiled playfully and said, "Is this a date?"

Simon stood behind, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to burst with semen, and his intuition told him that this was simply the war drum of love was roaring in front of his eyes. He unconsciously looked at Mu En, thinking that there should be no one who would refuse, right? Such beautiful and so prominent, it was simply a good match only in a dream.

But......

"I don't think so, it's just that you passed by my house out of politeness. ”

Damn, sir, are you crazy?! Don't you want to be so confused! I see you're usually quite shrewd!

Chloe's brows are slightly furrowed, but she doesn't look angry, but looks very cute.

"How do you know I'm just passing through and not coming to you?"

"I have seen the rules of aristocratic cultivation in a cursory manner, and generally speaking, if you want to be a guest, you should send a messenger or send a letter more than three days in advance. ”

Hearing this, Simon's whole person was already stupid, he couldn't understand Mu En's brain circuit, he was really a flagship-level straight man.

Chloe didn't have anything on her waist when she heard this, and just looked at Muen like that.

Mu En's heart was furious when he looked at him, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Do you know what a surprise is?" Chloe tilted her head to look at him, a little dissatisfied, but looking at the face that was still very young and cute before it was too open, she couldn't get angry.

The situation was not right, Mu En smirked and quickly shifted and asked, "Did you just come out alone, not worried about danger?"

"How is it possible, my little aunt is with me. Chloe looked back, and the unclosed compartment wasn't particularly bright, but a slender silhouette could still be seen.

The Grand Master of El Rose is not an adopted child, there are two sons and three daughters, but the grandchildren are all born boys, so Chloe is particularly favored in the family, and the woman who is called the little aunt by Chloe is the most talented in the second generation of the family, and she is already a senior mage at the age of more than sixty years old, and she has not yet reached the great mage master when she thinks that she is more than 100 years old, although it is already a height that is difficult for 90% of people to reach, but she is still inferior to her sister in comparison.

It is unknown how many nobles in the empire wanted to pursue Chloe's little aunt, but they were ruthlessly rejected, and this little aunt was known to have a crush on Pope Diachin. It's just that Diaxun's personality is also well-known for her coldness, and her whereabouts are erratic, so the last time she saw the Pope was at the Poseidon Festival nearly ten years ago, and she still relied on Mu En's blessing.

"So, do you want to come with us to Sakovik?" Muen didn't seem to be planning to change his itinerary for the little beauty in front of him.

"I've come all the way to you, and you won't even let me in, and won't you have to attend the local lord's banquet a week later?"

"Our family is a merchant, not a nobleman, and my parents are not there, so I don't need to take part in these things, and I can't wear them through the recent events, and I am desperate to get out of here, and if I am honored, I am willing to tell you about these things on the road. ”

Chloe put her finger to her lips and thought about it, then nodded in agreement, and turned to her aunt and shouted, "Auntie, I'm in Muen's car, you don't have to worry about me." ”

There was a sound of laughter and words in the carriage that made both of them blush.

"The boy you like doesn't look very smart~"

It's just that the reasons for the two blushing are different, Chloe is because of shyness, and Mu En is because of embarrassment.

"You, get in my car. Chloe was a little embarrassed and vented her little emotions on Simon.

"Ah...... Yes, yes...... But who am I going to catch the car?"

What to do feel more angry!
