I don't know how many miles away is the Duchy of Lothar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In that spacious room with the faint smell of iron and blood, under the blazing light of the illuminated crystal, a dignified old man was flipping through the papers, and it was not until a soldier hurriedly walked into the room that the old man raised his gaze. The soldier was the same young man as the old man had called Wesley, and he wore a brown cloak over the standard uniform of the Royal Guard, stained with dust and dew, and had apparently traveled long distances before running to report it non-stop.

"General, although his subordinates did not catch up with the child, their identity has been ascertained. Wesley Jr. bowed and reported to the old man.

"Speak. The old man only spit out one word, but the hands holding the document trembled slightly, showing the turmoil in his heart.

"The kid took part in a small contest in Sororumi and won first place, and because he kept smelling a small white flower, people were more impressed. Said he was a first-year freshman at Iluvita Academy, named Maureen Callander. After speaking the boy's name, Wesley Jr. paused and waited for the old man's decision, for even he knew that the surname was very important.

Sure enough, as soon as the five names of "Maureen Callander" came out, there was a trace of panic in the old man's majestic eyes, and he pondered for a moment, but still said, "Have you checked it in the south?"

Wesley replied, "It is said that Baron Calland does have a son, and I have not sent anyone there to investigate. ”

"Check!" The old man said firmly.

After thinking about it, he added: "Wait a minute, you go in person, don't alarm the others, don't alarm Baron Calland, and ...... else" The old man's eyes flashed, as if he had made up his mind, and continued: "Carefully inquire if there has been an old man in Baron Calland's mansion over the years, with white hair and a round face, blue eyes and an eagle nose. ”

"Yes, I'm leaving, General. Wesley Jr. bowed deeply again and stepped out.

In the room, the old man stared for a long time at a drawing board in the corner, the same one Wesley had drawn a few days earlier: a young man in his early teens, holding a small white three-petaled flower, was staring at a black obeli. His dark hair was blown by the night wind to the side of his face, and his pale yellow firelight shone with tears in his blue eyes.

"Maureen Callander, Callander ......," the majestic old man muttered.

……

……

Merlin was in a dream at the moment, unaware that a majestic old man was silently reciting his name in the old king's capital, thousands of miles away.

For some reason, since being struck by the curse of the vicious old man, he has occasionally fallen into strange dreams. Especially after the loss of the Star of Ilekepeia, the dreams have become more frequent and strange.

He felt like he was dreaming of a slice of the future, and he stood in front of the Illuvita Academy, looking at a stunning sculpture with little black resting on his shoulder. The other scenery was very vague, as if a layer of mist was blocking his view, but the white stone sculpture was particularly clear, a young man smiling at the sky, wearing a magic robe and holding a magic staff, and his appearance seemed somewhat familiar.

The boy felt strange that he had never been to the academy, how could his dream be so real.

Dreams are changing.

It was as if he had come to a flying carriage again, along with Emino, Marcas, and a few others, but they couldn't see it clearly, and what was impressive was an incomparably tall white tower in the distance, piercing into the clouds, and Merlin vaguely felt that the white tower was watching him.

Then the dream shattered, transformed into a fleeting fragment, he woke up on the shore of a strange lake, the vision was a twinkling strange starry sky, this fragment whistled by, the lakeside became the Gangdi forest at night, and the vicious old man appeared in front of him, still with a hideous and twisted face, roaring at himself, roaring desperately.

"I've been here for over a thousand years, and I'm going back!"

"I'm going back! That's not what I said!"

Merlin desperately explained that he didn't know anything, but the vicious old man didn't believe it, and then seemed to torture himself. So Merlin wanted to break free from this dream, he struggled hard, tried to wake up, but he still fell deeper and deeper into this dream.

The malevolent old man was slowly approaching, and Merlin saw once again the yellow, viper-like eyes that made his heart palpitate.

"Morin!" came a girl's voice.

"Wake up, Merin!" the boy recognized, it was Eminor's voice.

Suddenly, the dream faded like a tide, replaced by the warmth of the sun, and Morin woke up from the dream.

Squinting, the bright light outside the window, the sun should have climbed high.

"Are you alright?" Seeing the boy wake up, Emino breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Did you have a nightmare just now when you saw your face full of pain?"

Gritting his teeth and enduring a headache, Morin shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go to the deck today, and by the way, ask Senior Mike about things in the school." With that, he jumped out of bed, straightened his clothes, and when Emino put on his cloak, they walked out of the cabin together.

This is the seventh day on the airship, and in four days, they will be able to reach the Holy Royal Capital, where someone will take them to the Academy.

Although Aeno had already woken up, they still lived in the same room, on the one hand, because there were no extra rooms on the airship, and on the other hand, Aeno, who was in charge of the money bag, resolutely did not agree to spend a lot of money to exchange with other passengers, and after wiping the gold coins for a whole day, she finally put all the gold coins away and solemnly hid them in her package, determined not to use them indiscriminately, especially not to let Morin or Xiao Hei use a single gold coin indiscriminately.

And Xiao Hei, after sucking the dark yellow crystal card for a few days, actually handed it over to Merlin intact. However, the magic stored in the crystal card had been depleted, which somewhat relieved the boy. Although the magic stored in the fourth-order crystal card is large, it is only worth ten gold coins, which is insignificant compared to the price of the crystal card itself. As for Xiao Hei, after absorbing so much magic power, his body staggered and floated in the air, and his two little eyes were confused, as if he was drunk, he was humming a song that no one could understand, and he didn't ask for other crystal cards for a while.

Of course, despite the fact that Eminor was deceased, Morin still felt a little awkward and slept in his cloak every day. And Emino, because she only needed a small amount of rest, spent most of the night lying on the bed looking at the starry sky outside the porthole, and sometimes Maureen would accompany her until late, telling many stories in her memory, and the girl listened quietly in bed until Maureen, who told the story, gradually fell asleep.

There was plenty of sunlight on the deck, and Aeno subconsciously ducked into the cloak, in fact, except for the phantom ones, most of the dead would not be burned by the sun, but they were always not used to such light.

The deck of the large airship is quite wide, more than 100 meters long and tens of meters wide, and there are also a large number of cabins and platforms on the wooden deck mixed with metal, and there is an airbag larger than the hull on the top, of course, the entire surface of the airship is solidified with a large number of floating spells powered by magic crystal cards. Maureen knew that some warships didn't even have airbags, and relied entirely on magic equipment, which of course consumed a lot of mana.

Although the deck is very wide, Morin spotted Senior Mike at a glance: on one of the most conspicuous platforms on the entire deck, he was showing off his short fiery red hair, not to mention, it was indeed very eye-catching in the sun, but it was unknown how many people would think handsome rather than stupid.

"Senior Mike, tell us about the academy!" said Morin, approaching him.

"Not yet. To the surprise of the two children, Senior Mike Caviezer shook his head and refused.

Seeing the surprise on the faces of the two of them, Mike hurriedly explained: "When you arrive in the Divine King Capital, someone will naturally tell you, this is the work of the second-year freshmen, they have specially prepared, and the lecture is more detailed and comprehensive than mine." ”

"The first year is a very important year, and it is related to the choice of future direction, so you should listen carefully when the time comes. After summing up, he continued to pose.

Morin and Emino were speechless, but it was really exciting, the best house in Todel, the boy thought to himself.

"Maureen Callander?" a voice came.

Just listening to the intonation, the boy knew who this man was, the typical Gossock aristocratic tone, and with a thick nasal voice that was ready to express contempt, and he did not know the second one who spoke like this.

"Marcus?" Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw a boy with blond hair and black eyes, he had changed into a dark green robe at this time, which was also gorgeous, and Morin asked with some surprise: "It turns out that you are also on this ship, why haven't I seen you a few days ago." ”

"That's because the real nobility doesn't live with these commoners. Without thinking about it, he blurted out in a thick mocking tone, but after saying that, Marcas himself was stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.

He changed his tone, with some anticipation, with some pleading, and said, "Ah...... I'm kidding," pretending not to see the anger on Morin and Aeminor's faces, Marcas continued, "Morin, you ...... The Devil's Bird Generation, can you ...... Lend it to me. Apparently he was not accustomed to such an earnest tone, and his speech was intermittent.

"Aha, sure enough, it's here. Hearing Marcas's words, Morin's heart rejoiced, and he looked up and pretended not to hear.

"Did you really draw a magic transformation core that day, how long did it take you to write down such a complicated thing?" asked Marcus cheekily, after the competition that day, he thought about it carefully, and found that the old man wearing a strange machine really didn't look like a liar, and gradually believed the old man's judgment, and couldn't help but admire Morin in his heart.

"Ahh Maureen said casually.

"Is it the same word that has been read and remembered?" Marcus thought indignantly, and then looked at Merlin's incomparably clear blue eyes, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, but he really liked magic equipment, and said to Merlin, "That...... The Wanderer Generation ......"

Before Marcus could finish speaking, Morin said "out", and a glittering metallic chocobo appeared on the platform, attracting the attention of some people around him.

Just when Marcus excitedly thought that Morin had agreed, he saw Morin remove a part from the chocobo's cervical vertebrae, prick it lightly on the finger of Aeno in the old cloak, and then said meaningfully to Aeno: "Since all the gold coins are in your custody, and this Walker is also in your custody, you must protect our property "well." ”

After speaking, Merlin turned his head and spread his hands to Marcas, and said innocently: "Now the Demon Bird generation is already Aeno's. ”

Ignoring the grief and indignation on Marcas's face, he said in a somewhat mischievous aristocratic tone, "I wonder how a true nobleman would ask for a commoner?"
