Two days later, the convoy finally arrived at its destination. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There will be moments when the boundless black wasteland will be left behind on the road, and the distant mountains will slowly rise in the gloomy sky, gradually towering and majestic.

Phil sensed the carriage stop, so he put away his notebook, anticipating that it was time to reach his destination, so he packed his luggage by the way. Sure enough, a moment later, there was a knock on the door outside the carriage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived. The voice of a knight familiar to Phil entered the carriage.

Phil pushed open the door of the carriage, and a cold wind blew, freezing cold, and the rain was still falling, so it was even more bleak.

An umbrella appeared on Phil's head at the right time to keep him out of the freezing rain, and a black coat was handed over.

"My lord, it's a little cold. Said the Escort Knight.

Phil unceremoniously put on his coat and looked around, and all the preparatory students stepped out of the carriage and walked to an old castle on the side of the convoy.

Phil saw everyone, even the betrayed girl who had been reinforced by Wizard Elaine with cryomy, but Miranda and Elaine were nowhere to be seen.

"Is the weather like this all the time?" asked Phil.

"It's not very good, but it's rare to see something as bad as these days, and it's usually colder than those places on the coastline, and it snows heavily in winter, but the scenery is good, students. "The Escort Knight introduced it very carefully.

"You seem to have lived here for a long time, and I don't think you're sick with the weather. Phil saw that the Escort Knight was not wearing much, but as if he had not been affected by the weather, his expression was as usual.

"Yes, sir. I was born here, and I'm already familiar with the weather. The Knight of the Escort replied blandly.

Phil stared at him strangely, "What about your parents, how did they get here?"

"I don't have parents, my lord," replied the Escort Knight in a low voice, avoiding Phil's gaze, as if it was rude to him, "we are the children of our master, who created us with magical sorcery. ”

"That's what you think?"

Phil became very interested at this time, this escort knight was mainly responsible for him, including not only food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but also including blocking those deadly attacks for Phil in battle, in the previous several distresses, it was this escort knight who was on the side to protect him, and on two occasions he was even in mortal danger.

"That's what every one of us thinks. The Escort Knight replied mechanically.

Phil stopped, turned to stare at the Escort Knight, and looked at him with a smile, "Really, but I don't think that's what Wizard Elaine thinks. ”

The Escort Knight looked at Phil and was silent for a while.

"It's getting heavier, sir. He finally spoke.

Phil squinted at the students walking in the rain.

"It's not raining, it's nothing. Phil said, but he also started again, and the Escort Knight followed.

"Winter is coming, isn't it?" asked Phil suddenly.

"Yes. ”

"At that time, I'll find a way to get what you're asking for, either buy it or grab it. ”

"It's still that time, prep students. Said the Escort Knight. "But winter is coming. ”

"What's your name?"

"I'm number 32, my lord. Said the Escort Knight.

Phil shook his head, "No, that's not your name. Shall I give you a name, Flitton?"

"That's your freedom, my lord. ”

"Yes, in Byronic that is freedom, Freeton. ”

Knight 32's shoulders shook slightly under the umbrella, so subtle that Phil didn't even notice it.

"I'll go to you, Freeton, and if it's possible, someday, maybe this year, maybe next year, it won't be long before ......"

Phil looked out into the mountains beyond the rain curtain.

"Winter is coming. ”

Winter is coming, but it has not yet arrived, but this autumn rain is dripping non-stop.

Phil and Knight 32 put aside the conversation and walked through the rain as if nothing had happened.

The castle was used by the Hesso Tower Academy to prepare for the return of low-level wizard apprentices, as well as for new students during the apprenticeship period.

The castle is huge, and it is not too crowded to accommodate hundreds of people.

At this time, Phil and his party arrived early and chose a room with a good view on a high place, except for the occasional meeting of a few strange wizard apprentices, there was no one else.

Phil stood in front of the window, listening to the sound of the rain, looking at the mountains behind the castle, a ropeway went straight into the smoke and mist, and he didn't know where to go. Phil stood still, stunned.

"Phil, what are you looking at?"

A voice came and brought Phil back to his senses slightly. He turned from the window to see a young woman as bright as the beginning of her twenties, dressed in rich clothes and with loving eyes, and several maids behind her.

"Mother, why are you here?" cried out Phil in surprise.

"I've heard from Lynn that you've been depressed lately and don't want to learn the sword, so I'm here to see you. Mother walked into the room and stroked Phil's hair with her hand, making his hair, which had been a little messy, even more messy.

Phil saw the maid behind his mother looking at him and chuckling, so he was a little embarrassed, although he liked his mother like this to him, but now he felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly avoided his mother's hand, and shouted: "Mother, the child is already an adult, and he can't do this anymore!"

The mother laughed and said, "What's the matter, when you grow up, you don't like your mother?"

"No ......"

"That's good. Phil's mother was so complacent that she kneaded Phil's neat hair into a bird's nest.

It took a while for Phil to finally escape his mother's "clutches".

"Let's go, come down with me. Mother said.

"Where are you going?" asked Phil, looking up at his mother with a pair of dark blue eyes.

Mother took Phil's hand and walked out of the room, "It's your father, your father is back, Phil." ”

"Father is back?" Phil exclaimed excitedly, "Really, Mother, Father is back?"

Mother smiled and nodded.

As soon as Phil got the exact news, he couldn't wait any longer, he broke free from his mother's hand and ran quickly downstairs, ignoring the exclamations of the maids and servants along the way, he ran out of the castle excitedly, shouting "Father, father".

"Phil, what's wrong?" asked Captain Lynn, who was riding a horse at the gate of the city, when he saw Phil running out.

Phil ran to Lynn's feet and shouted, "Teacher Lynn, it's my father's back! Can you take me to meet him?"

"Lord Duke is back?" Lynn turned to look at Mother Phil and her party who were hurrying over, "Ma'am, Lord Duke has returned?"

Mother nodded: "Yes, just now the news from the messenger fast horse, they are a kilometer away. Take Phil and meet him first, you see he can't wait. The mother looked helplessly at Phil, who was excited.

"Thank you, Mother!" Phil showed a mouthful of white teeth, "Thank you, Teacher Lynn!"

"In that case," Lynn's chief guard reached out and scooped up little Phil from his feet and placed it in front of him, "Sit down Phil, ma'am, let's go!"

Whipping up the horse and riding the red dust, the two disappeared in the distance in an instant.

After a while, Phil saw a black banner in the distance slowly moving forward, and in front of him was a general wearing black armor and riding a tall black horse, it was Phil's father, Snow Underwood, the pinnacle of the Grand Knight, and the Duke of the Kingdom of Austin.

The duke's eyes were excellent, and he saw Phil sitting in front of Lynn's chief guard from a distance.

"Why are you here?" Snow Underwood laughed.

"Father!"

The captain of Lynn's guard drove his horse to the side of the road in front of the army, and before the soldiers who had returned in triumph could say hello to the Duke who came forward, Phil in his arms had already jumped down nimbly and climbed onto his father's tall black horse.

"Father, I want to kill you!" Phil hugged his father tightly, letting Snow Underwood's chin tickle him.

Snow Underwood looked at Phil and suddenly realized that he hadn't seen him for months, and his son seemed to have grown up a little more. He held Phil high with both hands, his eyes full of doting, as if what he had in his hands at this moment was the most noble glory in his life.

Phil enjoyed the moment, with a breeze blowing from the north and the sun shining just right.

"Father, welcome home. ”

In the evening, at the castle feast, Snow Underwood, who was at the peak of the Grand Knight, let go of his strength and fought with his subordinates for 300 rounds, and only after knocking over dozens of people did he fall drunk on his seat. At the foot of the seat, Phil, who was greedy for a sip of spirits, hugged his father's leg and fell asleep happily and unconsciously.

Phil also had a strange dream, in which he was in the rough sea, the waves were raging, the waves were rolling, the sound of water filled his mind, and it seemed that there was darkness in front of him, and there was no trace of light.

There was a noise, and Phil woke up and opened his eyes, but it was still gray outside the window, and the rain kept falling.

There was a pain in his head, and he didn't know what was going on, Phil got up and walked out of the room, and came out of the corridor, where a group of teenagers were coming in under the stairs of the corridor, looking at the castle curiously, talking in twos and threes, the atmosphere was very good, and the noise came from this.

"They are the original wizard apprentices of the wizarding continent. A purple figure stepped out of the next room, it was Thomas.

Fei Erran couldn't help but feel that their appearance was a little different, although they were all the same age and appearance, but their bearing and knowledge were indeed a little different.

"Actually, don't worry too much, although these people are very good, they are generally middle-to-upper qualifications, and the most powerful are not necessarily. Thomas said, looking very confident, as if he believed he was the best.

"You should know that Miranda can't be with you again since this incident, right?" said Thomas.

Phil turned to look at him, "What do you want to say?"

Thomas stood in front of him without any expression: "This time Miranda was seriously injured, probably only her teacher has the ability and willingness to save her, no matter what, her teacher will not allow such a thing to happen again, and when the time comes, you will no longer be a person of the same level." ”

"Elaine Wizard ......" Phil frowned.

"Although Elaine Wizard is also very strong, he is nothing compared to Miranda's teacher. "Thomas got the news out of nowhere, and he knew all too well the secrets of the academy, and they hadn't even really stepped into the academy yet.

"So, what do you want to do?" asked Phil.

"I want to ally with you in the early stages of a wizard's apprenticeship, and I wonder why someone like Miranda would choose you. ”

"I have another question, why don't you see any seniors in the academy here?"

"Most people go to prepare for the Academy War, why are they waiting here?"
