Even in late autumn, the small island in the lake is still not cold, but it is better to say that the weather is neither hot nor cold.

    Marley tiptoed around, afraid of being shot by an ice arrow that came out of nowhere.

    Loria has been getting more and more ferocious lately, as Marley expected (knew), his students have a very remarkable talent for frost magic, and after solving the problem of catapult magic, her skills in manipulating ice arrows are reaching new heights every day, and she especially likes to practice magic with her teacher.

     Raise your hands high to look short?One hand to the sky and the other hem as if you've eaten a strange mushroom?Bend over and rub your hands around obscenely?

    Loria's Ice Arrow doesn't require any spell casting gestures, and just yesterday, she worked out how to fire an ice arrow behind her.

    Recite the incantation aloud so that the target is ready in advance?

    Loria's Ice Arrow doesn't require any spells, she will recite a few words when she's in a good mood, sometimes humming twice before casting a spell, but more often than not, the sharp ice arrow always appears with her silent, sweet smile.

    Every mage has their own little habits, and Miss Loria plays the mage out of the stalker.

    Her magic is still so little, it only takes an ice arrow to pierce a person's throat.

    Before she knew it, Loria had become dangerous.

    The streets, which had been quiet for most of the year, suddenly became noisy, and many people came out of their homes to pass on amazing news to each other.

    Although that news was long out of date when it reached the island. But it still stirred the delicate nerves of the townspeople, and it spread ten, ten to hundred. Kicked people out of their homes.

    Compared to the news of the fall of the kingdom of Steinbrad, this time it is much more exciting - the powerful kingdom on the other side of the lake has undergone a drastic change, and King Terenus has been murdered by his son!

    Some people did not believe it, and loudly pointed out that such news must be rumors, some denounced Alsace, for whatever reason, how could a man commit a patricide, and many more were only vaguely uneasy, and the upheaval of the foreigners' court was none of their business. But they always have some inexplicable fear.

    " tsk. ”

    Loria stood in front of the window, listening to the discussion on the street. It was the first time she had seen so many people gather in the streets.

    "Loria?"

    Marley patted her on the shoulder carefully, "Come here, I have something to tell you." ”

    Loria silently followed Marley, even though many things were already predestined. But she still felt uncomfortable.

    The glorious era of mankind is coming to an end.

     "I'm afraid you know better than me about the goods in stock, and the ledger has always been in your management, and I have nothing to worry about about the grocery store, here you are, this is the key to the basement." ”

    Marley handed a key to Loria and instructed, "Remember where I taught you how to use the contract circle, there is a dark grid just below the triangle symbol. You remember, here are our valuable possessions, and I've exchanged them all for gold. ”

    "Teacher?"

    Loria stared into Marley's eyes. She said with an expression that couldn't tell whether it was a joke or a serious matter: "Are you suffering from any terminal illness? Do you still want to go back to your hometown to get married? Why did you suddenly entrust me with the aftermath? Okay, you can go with confidence, I will not forget you." ”

    “……”

    The corners of Marley's mouth twitched, sometimes he really wanted to beat up the pink hair Lori...... Like spanking or something.

    "Stop daydreaming, you're no match for me. ”

    As if she knew what Mare was thinking, Loria rolled her eyes and said. "Okay, what's going on?"

    "We can't change the past, can we? I'm going to be your ...... past," Mare said in a tricky way, seeing that Loria's gaze had become unkind, and quickly added, "I'm going to make a long trip to make the staff, maybe it will be a long time, you and Alice have to take care of ourselves...... Touch your head. ”

    After speaking, he reached out to pat Loria on the head.

    " to touch. ”

    This time, Miss Pinkhair, who always likes to make trouble, did not dodge, she will meet Marley in the past, but she will never see him again in the present and the future.

    "How old are you?"

    "Nine hundred and ninety-seven, it's time for an elf to enjoy his old age. ”

    "Well, take care. ”

    "Don't do that, I'm going to live until you become the world's number one magician." ”

    "You're probably not going to live that day. ”

    "No, it's your destiny and it's mine. ”

    ……

    Marley took his big backpack and left, he didn't tell Loria where he was going, and Loria, who secretly looked through his money bag, was relieved.

    It is full of Stormwind gold coins - although the gold coins of the Seven Kingdoms can be circulated with each other, if you want to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to exchange them for the currency of your destination before you travel far.

    It wasn't until Mare left that Loria felt that the house was unexpectedly empty.

    She found two letters on Marley's desk, one of which could not be opened in any way, neither tearing nor using scissors to hurt the envelope in the slightest, while the other was not tightly sealed.

    Dear Loria,

    'Forgive me for my sudden goodbye...... I wrote down all the mysteries of magic I knew, and I hid it in the third drawer of my desk, with magic attached to it, and only you could open it.

    'As your teacher, I would like to remind you once again that my magic is to be kept secret from everyone until you confirm that you have met your destined disciple.

    'The books in the bookcase will solve most of your puzzles, and the gold in the basement is enough to buy all the books sold in the All-Dalaran bookstore...... However, you should not expect too much, for truly valuable knowledge is never simply recorded on the printed paper on which it is sold, and if you see an old manuscript, no matter how bad its contents, you better buy it first......

    'Got back to business, there was some honey jam left in the closet, they were precious items from a rare place, and you can dip them in bread with Alice in the evening...... In three days, the goods I ordered will be delivered to the fishing village on the south side of the island, and it is the small sailboat you have always wanted, so please remember to pick it up.

    'About your water elemental, please don't regenerate my anger, though she (this is crossed out)...... As long as you like.

    ' Stop running around the room in fat times.

    'I have one more thing to ask you, if you have the chance, please help me kill Darsma, I still can't tolerate a pest like him approaching the lovely Miss Ainel.

    'My teaching is not over yet, I will be waiting for you in the future, the clue is in another letter...... The way to open it is to inject magic into the envelope, and when you can light up all thirteen stars, you will be able to see the contents of the letter.

    'Don't rush to open it, you're too weak to finish my last lesson.

    'goodbye. ’

    ……

    "It's all small things, it's really long-winded, idiot. ”

    Loria taunted Marley's letter and wiped her tears.

    She picked up another envelope that couldn't be opened, and there were thirteen stars painted on the back...... Inject magic into the envelope, but Loria can't even light one of them.

    Who is Marley?
