Chapter 17: Indefinite Distinction
The battle on stage was fierce, in fact, it was one of the most exciting battles of the day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The flat-headed stone hammer in Balin's hand intersected with the metal longsword in Osmond's hand from time to time, bursting out with flying sparks, accompanied by a crisp sound of impact. Dressed in armor, Osmond would even use his gauntlets and shoulder armor to force his grip on the handle of Barron's hammer, or try to use his sword and armor to jam the stone hammer when he was about to reach the end of his hammer, and every now and then, the teenagers in the audience could not help but exclaim.
Barron was obviously more powerful, a single stone hammer made Osmond's hands scramble, and most of the time he had to dodge, and the Humpty Dumpty Boy occasionally took a risky blow, and he would easily dodge it, not to mention his burly stature, more than a head taller than Osmond, but his movements were not slow at all. What's more, in the face of his nearly seventh-level strength, Osmond's various attempts to remove the weapons from his hands ended in failure, and he could only rely on his rich combat experience to maneuver.
The aristocratic teenagers are frantically cheering for Osmond in a quest to defeat this obnoxious rude barbarian. More teenagers are cheering for the excitement of the battle, although the teenagers on the field are not as powerful as those full-time fighters, but after all, they are the same age as themselves, and they seem to be much more enthusiastic.
It's just that there is a teenager who is extraordinarily quiet.
Barron is really still so powerful, Morin stood in front of the stage, pushed and rubbed by the crowd, a pair of dark blue eyes quietly watched the battle on the stage, and his heart suddenly became sad. The cheers around him went away like smoke in the wind, and the quiet young man Yu Yu walked into his memories that were not long away.
That was more than a year ago, the boy thought to himself, one morning, he was training as usual in the town, and was running through the door of a house wearing armor and carrying a load, when he suddenly heard a voice in the house scolding: "Who is practicing in the morning, and let people not sleep well!" The voice was very rough and had a strange accent, but it was still recognizable as a teenager.
Morin was surprised in his heart, thinking that I knew all the boys in the town who were about the same age as me, and who would be in this house, it didn't look like a hotel, Harry Harbor was so big, except for the travelers who were doing business, there would be no external ground holes, let alone a teenager. He involuntarily stopped, found it amused, and shouted to the window of the room, "The sun is coming out, it's time to get up and exercise!"
The young man in the room immediately said angrily: "I can't sleep well, how to exercise! I listen to those things tied to your body don't have any weight, it's better to learn from me, I'll teach you how to train your strength!"
Mo Lin was angry when he heard this, this training method was ordered by his grandfather to practice when he went out a year ago, and it takes a lot of energy to complete it seriously, and the effect is also very good, at least those teenagers in the academy can't beat themselves one by one, you kid who came out of nowhere dare to despise my grandfather's training method?
Okay, don't you want to sleep, I see how you sleep now, thinking about the young man, he tossed on the spot, and the heavy metal on his body clanged, and he felt that it was not enough, and even the shield was taken off his back and knocked a few times, and his heart was happy. Suddenly hearing something in the house, Mo Lin hurriedly put on his shield and continued to run, not forgetting to shout: "I'm not practicing strength, I don't know! This is practicing flexibility and speed! The cowhide blows a lot, you have the ability to chase me! Ahahaha......"
As he was running, he didn't expect to hear a sudden creak behind him, and the door of the room was really opened.
Listening to the voice, Morin laughed: "You really want to chase me, I can't help myself." Even with a load, he was confident that he could outrun the average teenager, let alone in this familiar and complex terrain.
Thinking about him, he turned back to see what this out-of-town boy looked like. Unexpectedly, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, his heart was almost frightened at first glance: a burly young man with a rough face and an angry expression had run behind him at some point, and a big hand was grabbing the edge of the shield behind him.
Immediately, Morin made a sharp turn, and jumped along the wall to the roof, not expecting the burly young man behind him to react extremely quickly, and followed the change of pace and chased after him, without pulling much distance at all.
Now Morin knew that the other party was powerful, and he cried out in his heart, and hurriedly recalled the art of escape that Daddy Pike had taught him. Maybe it was because he was not good at learning, or maybe what his father said was not reliable at all, but in the end he couldn't escape, and was caught by the burly Kadir boy on the street for a fat beating, and returned to the baron's mansion with a sore body.
Young Morin refused to obey, and slept well at night with his magical ability, and the next morning he did not go for a long run outside the town, and took the strange musket left by his grandfather, and slipped to the door of the house yesterday without even wearing weight or armor. Remembering the planned escape route in his heart, he immediately fired a shot into the sky.
The deafening roar still echoed through the houses, and Merlin had already jumped out, fleeing along the planned route without looking back. Who would have thought that maybe the burly boy in the house today was also prepared, or maybe he just woke up earlier by chance, not long after Morin ran out, he was caught again before he turned into the narrow alley that the burly boy could not squeeze into. There is no way to fight back, needless to say, it is another fat beating.
After doing this a few times, Morin had no choice but to deliberately bypass this area when exercising in the town early in the morning, so as not to be chased by the burly boy who rushed out of nowhere, and then he could only go home and sleep with a sore body.
Later, I met this burly boy again in the Juvenile Society, and learned that his name was Barron, a Kadir from the Eternal Winter Ice Field, who came to participate in the assessment of Victor Academy next year, and the two gradually became good friends.
Yes, Barron took the assessment from Yongdong Bing, and he will go back after the exam, Mo Lin looked at the two fierce fighting figures on the stage, and thought gloomily, even if Barron is not admitted to the Victor Combat Command Academy, he will also be admitted to the other best combat colleges, those academies are all far away, and I don't know when they will be able to get together again in the future......
The battle on the stage didn't last long, and Osmond was still a step behind and was defeated. Looking at the stone hammer that rested firmly above his head, the short and fat boy had no choice but to throw his sword and admit defeat, his face was flushed, he was panting, a pair of small dark eyes flashed non-stop, and there was still only war intent in his eyes.
Barron and Maureen celebrated the victory together.
As the sun gradually receded in the west, the ship began to sail back at a rapid pace, and the examiners from the different colleges finally began to admit and select. They send out invitations to suitable teenagers separately and then wait for the teenagers to make a choice among different colleges to finalize the admission list.
Although Morin had said that he wanted to be a mage before, he still received many invitations from the War Academy, of course, thinking of his grandfather's advice and his father's assurance, the young man rejected them one by one. And Barron, in the end, failed to be admitted to Victor Academy, so he chose the Illuvita Academy represented by Blood-Eyed Brand, which is said to be convenient to beat up the Blood-Eyed Mage in order to become powerful in the future. However, Osmond, this ordinary-looking short and fat boy, received an invitation from Victor Academy, but he also chose Illuvita Academy, I don't know if it was because of Strayer.
The ship sped between the different ports of the Duchy of Lothar, sending back groups of teenagers from all over the country, and by the time they arrived at Harry Harbor, a bright moon was already reflected in the sky.
The small dock was empty at this time, and Lawson, who was dressed in a light yellow short robe, slowly landed with two teenagers, patted them on the back, and said: "You have all behaved well, you have exceeded my expectations, and you will be a student of the higher academy in the future, so you don't need to call me teacher again." As for Morin, ......" Lawson hesitated for a moment and continued: "Since Lord Baron has his own arrangements, there is no need for me to ask more. You have to work hard in the future, and strive to break out of your own sky. ”
"Got it, Mr. Lawson, we'll work hard!" the two teenagers bowed and said loudly.
Lawson waved his hand, took off his gray staff from behind his back, and saluted in the direction of the Baron's mansion, this side of the matter is over, there are still many talented teenagers in the Juvenile Academy, and he needs him to guide the way, day after day, year after year. In fact, the happiest thing is not that the teenager I recommended was successfully admitted, but that one ordinary day, when I was talking to others, I suddenly heard the name of my student from a certain story, and the pride was incomparable.
I wish you all the best in the future, Lawson, who has reached middle age, thought silently and left in stride. It is the countless sacrifices of order like him, who have devoted their lives to the cause of passing on knowledge, that have supported the vast and rigorous education system of the Todel human excesses, and cultivated dazzling names as bright as the stars.
The mischievous waves beat the shore from time to time, piles of snow-like foam splashed in the moonlight, the ships that had long returned to the harbor swayed gently with the waves, like companions dancing in their sleep with a soft song, and the orange lights in the town not far away were already shining with orange lights, which still looked warm in the cool summer night.
"Barron, when are you going back to the Eternal Winter Icefield?" asked Morin, and the two teenagers leaned against the guardrail of the dock, looking at the gently rippling sea in the moonlight.
"My uncle has just ordered a shipment and I have just finished testing, so he will pick me up later today and take me to White City and leave tomorrow morning to return to the Eternal Winter Icefield. The young man Kadir replied quietly: "In another month or two, I will set off from there to report to the academy." "Illuvita Academy has a very special rule that requires new students to travel from their homes to the academy alone and not to be escorted by anyone else.
Morin nodded, suppressed his sadness, and said, "Then I wish you a smooth journey! ”
Barron patted Morin on the shoulder and said in a rough voice: "When we are powerful in the future, it will not be easy to get together, don't forget that I want to be the greatest warrior, you are going to become the greatest mage!
Looking forward to the future, Mo Lin's young heart also had a little more yearning, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll ...... later."
……
……
Perhaps it was the first time he had been separated from his friend since he was a child, and he didn't know when he would see each other again, the boy was in a particularly low mood, and when he returned home, Ed said that Daddy Pike was waiting for him, and took him to the door of the study. Morin didn't knock on the door, he pulled his head down and pushed the door directly.
Looking at Maureen's lost appearance, the baron couldn't help asking, "Is the test result bad? Anyway, it doesn't matter, seeing that you are not injured, don't care too much about the result." The boy looked up at the concern in the baron's dark blue eyes, and his mood was a little higher because of the parting, and he replied with a smile on his face, "The results are excellent, but Daddy, how is that doing?"
The baron's body sitting in front of the bookcase was visibly stunned for a moment, and he asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?"
"That's it," Morin was anxious, sure enough, Daddy Pike was unreliable, what should I do now, and said loudly: "What you said before about moving around, sending me to the Academy of Magic!!"
"Oh......" said the baron, moving his body weakly, and his eyes wandered off the illuminating crystals of the dome, "already...... Nailed it. ”
"Really?" Morin was relieved and asked, "Which college?"
Now the baron was really stumped, his round face was furrowed, he thought to himself how I knew which house, the letter was not written, he opened his mouth to make one up but did not know how to phrase it, and for a moment he put on a dumbfounded look in his seat.
"Daddy Pike!Father!!, what kind of academy?!" Merlin cried out frantically, eager to go up and pull a few barons' beards down, "I have turned down the invitations of the Illuvita Academy and the Victor Academy because I trust you!"
"How do I know!" Baron Pike exclaimed frantically, "Anyway, you just wait at home, you will always receive an admission notice, there are still many months before school starts, so what to do in such a hurry!"
"Go and tell your mother about your test performance, she has already cooked your favorite barbecue!" was so forced that the Baron had no choice but to use his art of escape and use the Baroness to break up little Morin.
So life went on like this, and Morin could only wait anxiously and expectantly for the letter every day, wondering which magic academy would be willing to admit him.
And about what happened during the test, he also mentioned to the Baron from time to time: the ring marks burned by the touch of the blood-eyed mage, and Strayer, who made him feel uncomfortable, was very close to the magic capacity of Ten Fars.
But he didn't get any clues from Baron Pike, about the ring marks on his hands, Daddy said that he couldn't see through it at all, only that he should continue to wear the ring to cover it, maybe it was just a special situation, maybe the magic of the blood-eyed Brand was more strange, anyway, if there was a similar situation in the future.
As for His Royal Highness Strayer, as soon as this name is mentioned, Daddy Pike, who is usually smiling, will immediately sink his face, and his dark blue eyes will show sadness, and he will not say anything to himself, as if this name is taboo with the nightmare night in Lothar more than ten years ago, and the slightest touch will make the baron evoke some bad memories. This also made Morin quite depressed, feeling that his father always regarded himself as a child and did not want to tell him anything.
As for the extraordinary magic capacity, the baron only classified him as little Morin's extraordinary talent, saying that it was not a special thing, not worth making a fuss about, in his words: "The people of our Calland family are all talented, and your extraordinary magic capacity is nothing, don't be surprised when you go out, shame." ”
What is this, Merlin thought angrily, did not get any satisfactory answers, he could only continue to memorize books every day with his special ability, trying to find some clues on his own, but until he read all the books left in the library that could be read, he did not find anything useful.
And in recent days, Maureen had to stop.
Because he was sick, very sick.
