"Whew...... It's so full. "In the dining hall, Morin patted his swollen belly with satisfaction, this kind of aristocratic demeanor caused Marcus on the side to frown frequently, and the bold Barron said that Marcus couldn't eat much in a crepe meal, no wonder he wasn't tall.www.biquge.info

"Don't judge others by the height standards of your Kadirs!" Marcus said angrily, "I'm a full two centimeters taller than Morin, two centimeters!!"

The red-faced Marcus and Barron made a bet that he was no slower than Barron, but Barron pouted in disbelief, so in the presence of Morin, the two of them each ordered a large piece of steak and began to compete:

Morin said that at the beginning, Barron opened his big mouth and ripped off nearly half of the meat steak, staring at his eyes and chewing violently, the young man looked at the gluttonous tiger's mouth, thinking that Marcus was really courageous, and couldn't help but glance at the young man Gessock, who couldn't take his eyes off when he wanted to look at it.

I saw that the knife and fork in Marcas's hand danced like a lively dance, a piece of silver light flashed, and the meat chops on the plate were cut piece by piece, and sent to his mouth without any pause, and then Morin didn't even see any big movement in his mouth, he had already chewed it carefully and swallowed it into his stomach, and the whole set of movements was smooth and perfected, without making the slightest sound.

Barron, on the other side, saw this scene and hurriedly stuffed the rest of the steak into his mouth, but before he could finish chewing with his mouth puffed, Marcas's plate was clean enough to show Barron in the mirror.

As the loser, Barron was responsible for waking up five mils early for the next month to wake everyone up, which was tantamount to torture for his habitual bed-resting habits.

"Anyway, when I was a child, I also ate every day with two brothers who were several years older than me and a fierce sister. Of course, I just think about these words, and I won't tell you......" The victorious Marcus wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief very gracefully, and very skillfully concealed the slight arc of smugness.

And the Kadir boy, who had tasted the bitter fruit, made up his mind that he would never participate in a game other than a fight again.

"Well, I'm a great cook!" the college elf was showing off to Merlin again, after all, like a seven or eight-year-old child, who had lost her temper over the destruction of books yesterday and made the kitchen smoky, and today seemed to have completely forgotten about it, which was probably why she was so happy most of the time.

"Yes, yes, you're the best!" said Merlin with a little weakness, according to the elf herself, she still allocated some energy to track down the damage to the book, and one day she would find out, but the boy had no hope of it, he just wanted to grow up quickly so that he could learn the contents of the mutilated manuscript through his own ability.

"Happy New Year, Maureen. A voice came from the side.

Probably the words "Happy New Year" reminded them of Principal Fielding's New Year's greetings, the three teenagers trembled in unison, Morin turned his head, only to find Strayer and Osmond on the side, and quickly got up: "Happy New Year!"

"Well, you've been comfortable living at Illuvita Academy for the past few months, aren't you?" Strayer said.

"Well, thank you Your Highness for your concern. Although he usually doesn't call Strayer His Royal Highness, at this time his tone of voice is more like concern for his subordinates, and Morin uses an honorific title.

"There was a little conflict during the academy assessment before, don't take it to heart, it's just a random joke, I myself don't actually exclude civilians, and I don't have any discrimination against status levels or anything. He smiled kindly at Barron, who grimaced coldly, remembering the day he was laughed at by many of his peers on deck.

Remembering Morin's performance that day, knowing nothing about the coat of arms and history of the nobles of Lothar but not knowing anything about himself, Strayer said, "Actually...... My deceased mother was a commoner, and my late father insisted on marrying her and deliberately concealed her origins, which most of the nobles of Lothar did not know. ”

Mo Lin was stunned for a moment, remembering the black statue he saw in the royal capital, Strayer's mother, that young and beautiful figure, it turned out that she was also from a civilian background......

"Your Highness doesn't say that I'm almost forgetting about that day, it's nothing, I'm still fighting quite happily!" replied Morin.

"That's good," Strayer smiled, "You accept this gift, it's a New Year's gift, and an apology on behalf of my companions who like to joke." As he spoke, he took out a delicate metal gift box from his bosom, and the box was tattooed with a strange symbol of a pentagram.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Maureen took it casually.

He was well aware of Strayer's wealth, and he was not polite to him at this time, and when the time came, when the gargoyle brought back the jerky made by his mother, he could give him some as a gift, well, just a little less meaning, and that would be my ration for the next few months.

It's just that Marcus on the side glanced at the badge on the gift box, and exclaimed, "Master Gollum's pentagram mechanical rune?!

Realizing that his behavior was rude, the young man quickly covered his mouth, but he couldn't stop giving Mo Lin a look.

Morin's hand holding the metal gift box froze in front of him, although he didn't know much about mechanical runes or anything, but if even Marcus felt that it was precious, it must be a very rare thing, and Master Gollum Long-Eared He also knew that the legend was an alchemist who had stepped into the realm of legends, and it wouldn't mean anything else if His Highness suddenly gave himself such a valuable gift.

Remembering what Daddy Pike said, the boy suddenly felt that the metal box was a little hot.

"Take it, it's just a relatively rare small object, not to mention how valuable, and there are just five members in your group, so it's good to make the best use of it," Strayer had already put his hand back, not giving the boy a chance to excuse himself: "If you usually need anything, you can also tell me that they are all classmates from Lothar, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other." ”

"Then ...... Thank you, Your Highness. Morin hesitated for a moment, but put away the metal gift box.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Speaking of which, is there anything special about the magic card you gave me before?"

Suddenly hearing this, Strayer's eyes sank.

“…… Some of the magic cards I use are from a special card maker, maybe he made magic cards with a special process, I don't know, what, what's wrong with that card, I remember you saying it was eaten by your elemental creatures. ”

"Ah......h......h

Marcus on the side almost rushed up and strangled Mo Lin to death when he heard it, is there a mistake, it is a pentagram rune, you guy accepted it as if nothing happened, and you are still cheeky to ask for something else, you are too much, you.

Looking at the young man's blue eyes full of antiquity, Strayer pondered for a moment and chuckled: "I just have another one, probably because there was some defect in the production process, and it has not been activated, you can take it and feed it to your pet." ”

As he spoke, he took out a white magic card, and Merlin took it.

The sorcerer on the card is a black cube in a room full of mirrors, each of which reflects a black shadow. The boy recognized that it was a two-ring magic mirror spell, which could summon a different number of illusions that were exactly the same as his own, which belonged to the advanced application of illusion.

"Thank you. "Maureen is grateful.

Now I can finally give Xiao Hei a try.,See what the situation is with this foodie.,Speaking of which, mirror shadow is still a very practical magic.,If only you could use magic cards yourself......

In order to prevent Morin from saying anything excessive, Marcas hurriedly pushed him aside and shook Strayer's hand very friendly: "Your Highness Strayer, I heard about your magical talent long before you came to the school, and I will definitely give you a warm welcome if you have the opportunity to travel to our Gessock's Maple Leaf Collar!"

In terms of aristocratic strength, if Marcus is an only son, then his status may be slightly higher than Strayer, after all, Ian Victor, the founding father of Lothar, was the Grand Duke of the south of the empire before he announced his separation from the Gesok Empire, and the Maple Leaf Territory governed by the Maple Leaf Archduke is even more extensive and wealthy than the current Lothar. But Strayer is the lord of a country after all, and he is higher than the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf according to the aristocratic class, and Marcus is only the youngest son in the family, so he still uses honorifics very politely in his words.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Strayer greeted Maureen again, and returned to leave with Osmond.

"What is this communication mechanical rune, why did Strayer just say that there are exactly five people in our group, and does it have anything to do with the number of people?" Morin asked Marcus puzzled.

"You know the Gollum Gurlum Long-Eared Master, right?"

Morin nodded, he knew that Master Long-Eared had built a laboratory in Sororumi.

"I also told you before, because of some of the drawbacks of the communication ball, all countries are researching new communication devices, the direction of Master Gollum's research when he was young was to try to combine magic machinery and magic runes to solve the problem of carrying and energy supply, although in the end it was not successful, but according to his research results still designed a very practical rune device, that is, the pentagram communication mechanical rune in your hand. ”

Marcas explained with reverence on his face: "By absorbing the rune marks of each of the five people, a special connecting rune can be formed between these five people, so as to sense the general orientation of the others, although it is impossible to convey more specific information, but in some special occasions, these runes are even more useful than high-ring magic." ”

"The point is," Marcus added, "because the production process was so complicated, Master Gollum had only completed less than a hundred sets of communication runes, and although the price was not high at the time, there was nothing like this on the market today, so I said it was too expensive." ”

The boy opened the box curiously, only to see five glowing runes floating in it, each of which was a small pentagram with a tiny magic path carved on the surface, and these five runes were connected to each other by light, forming a large pentagram.

"No wonder Strayer said that there were exactly five members of our group......"

……

At night, the boys' dormitory.

Barron had fallen asleep earlier than usual, and had drunk several bowls of water before going to bed in order to wake everyone up tomorrow. In any case, the Kadir people still attach great importance to gambling contracts.

Marcus looked at the back of his hand on the bed in amazement, where there was a small lilac pentagram rune, and Morin on the opposite bed had the same pattern on his left hand in the same place. Magical runes are a special type of magical structure that can be attached to the surface of the body, weapons, and even magical enchantments, and can be activated with only a small amount of mana, bringing positive effects and special functions.

Earlier, they found Tierna and Eminor, and the five of them took up their positions, each took a mechanical rune and held it in their hands, and at the same time recited the activation spell, and a flash of light flashed, and a five-pointed star barrier appeared among the teenagers, and after the barrier gradually dimmed, a small mark appeared on their hands.

At the same time, Merlin felt that he could vaguely sense the position of the other four, but this connection was much weaker than the connection between himself and Xiao Hei, and he needed to be very patient to discern the direction and distance. Although Xiao Hei was very dissatisfied with the fact that he could not obtain a Pentagram Rune at first, after the boy handed him the card of Mirror Shadow Magic, the cheering Xiao Hei chewed the magic card very "dutifully" without saying a word, and now he has returned to the mark and is asleep.

Maureen rolled over while lying on the bed and said, "Marcas, how do I feel that Tilna is not in the same state as usual?

"Have you noticed that too," Marcas's face flushed with worry at the mention of the Vess Spirit, "Tilna, she's a little nervous, I told Aeno to be more careful." ”

"Eh, what's going on, is something going on?" Morin couldn't help but worry when he heard this, today the Vess Demon Spirit seemed to be a different person, not only was he a little absent-minded, but even his voice was not as smooth as usual.

"It's not anything else, it's because the tides of the Sea of Mana are coming soon......"

……

"The magic tide is coming again......" Tierna's dark red ray swept back over her wrist in her right eye, where there was a lilac pentagram rune, small but particularly striking on her silver skin: "It's been five years in Iluvita......

Whenever the tide of magic comes, new students will study and try to touch the sea of magic, and Equino has read about it in the lord's books, remembering what Marcas said to him, and can't help but comfort: "Don't be nervous, Tyrna, everyone believes that you will make it this year." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of failing in meditation, it's just ......"

Tilna recalls her first time here, when she was a freshman, and her peers in the freshman group took good care of her, and everyone had a good relationship. But because she couldn't keep up with her magic progress, she didn't get to the second grade, so she spent less and less time with other people later, and slowly she couldn't even understand their conversation, and there were fewer contacts. Although those companions were very willing to help them, they were unwilling to drag them down, for fear that they would delay their magic cultivation because of themselves.

For this reason, she has been working extra hard all these years, until last spring, when she sensed the sea of magic, she felt that she was only a little short of succeeding, so she applied to the school for the task of the freshman leader.

She remembered that Maureen patted her chest and said that everyone would be companions in the future, that she had taken care of each other in the past few months, that she remembered Marcas's arrogant aristocratic tone and the picture book he had drawn for herself, and that she really didn't want to experience the feeling of losing her friends again and again when she was pushed down the magic passage of the cliff after the history of magic class.

Vesdemonic closed his eyes and whispered silently, "It will work...... This...... I believe ......"
