Chapter 7: A Dove
Small room on the top floor.
Mars was still sitting at his desk, a quill pen writing his name quickly, after a few days of practice, he was able to control the quill to write his name well, although it was still not as smooth and chic as handwriting, but the name written on the paper was no longer crooked, but much more neat.
Of course, just writing a name was not what Mars wanted, and in order to make this magic aggressive, he thought of a sewing needle, which weighed about the same as a quill pen, but it was a hassle to make and would cost a lot more, so he asked Sehir to buy a regular steel needle.
There was a large iron box on the desk, and inside it were a hundred steel needles of about five centimeters.
Mars reached out and picked one up, his eyes locked on the steel needle, and the colorless magic instantly wound towards the steel needle, attaching to the steel needle, and then, he let go of his hand, and the steel needle hovered in midair.
Suddenly, the needle fell towards the tabletop, but in an instant it hovered in mid-air, and then the needle slowly turned vertically ninety degrees, and the tip of the needle was facing the direction of Mars's line of sight.
"Whoosh!"
I saw the steel needle shoot forward, and then "poof" and pierce into the wall.
Mars stared at the steel needle, frowning slightly, he was only three meters away from the steel needle, but the steel needle was only two centimeters deep into the wooden wall.
At such a short distance, the strength of the steel needle is still insufficient, and it seems to be a difficult thing to make the steel needle useful, and even be able to assassinate the enemy, and it cannot be counted on in the short term.
"Looks like we're going to have to step up the practice!"
Mars made a decision, and as the news of the Council of the Seven Kings in Angela reached his ears, he had a hunch that perhaps the Meeting of the Seven Kings was his chance, the only chance!
Of course, in the following time, in addition to practicing magic, he also had to deal with the inquiries of the Angela royal family, after all, a Finlay merchant is nothing in the eyes of the Angela royal family, but the identity of Mars Proton is also very sensitive.
As a result, he had to spare an hour a day to instruct Arbus's son Miral, who was fortunate to be quite intelligent, especially in geometry, and although Mars was not outstanding in geometry, it was enough to teach Miral.
On this day, Mars, as usual, after teaching Miral, returned to the small room to practice magic, but a blue pigeon suddenly broke into the hut and rushed towards Mars.
Marston was startled, threw the steel needle in his hand, and then the magic power in his body surged, and instantly attached to the steel needle, the steel needle hovered in midair, and then under his control, it met the blue dove.
"Bang!"
The blue pigeon feathers splashed, and suddenly a lean blue-haired young man came out, the blue feathers instantly closed and turned into the young man's clothes, he held a steel needle in his mouth, and with a "poof" sound, the steel needle was instantly nailed to the desk, and his eyes looked at Mars fiercely.
Mars was shocked in his heart, fear hit him instantly, this was the first time he had seen such a strange magician so closely, but instead of shouting for help, he asked nervously, "Who are you?"
The lean young man with blue hair and a shawl, his sharp gaze looked at Mars from top to bottom, and then there was a look of disappointment in his eyes, but then he disappeared, and said, "You are the kid who has just awakened magic?"
Seeing that the blue-haired young man did not kill him, Mars suddenly calmed down in his heart and nodded, "Well, it didn't take long for me to awaken my magic. ”
The blue-haired youth showed a hint of a smile, "Hello, I'm Toby, you can also call me Blue Pigeon, I'm the extradition person who took you home!"
"My name is Mars!"
"Home, were you sent by Uncle Chris in Sunset City?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Mars' eyes, he didn't expect Sunset City to send a magician to pick him up, it seemed a little strange.
Toby was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Mars to be so stupid, he immediately shook his head and said, "I am the extradition of the Angela Branch of the Alliance, and I have come to take you home by the order of the elders. ”
Marston understood what Toby meant, he originally thought it was someone from his mother's family in Sunset City, but he didn't expect it to be a stranger, but how did he discover the awakening of magic, could it be that the guy in front of him was a member of the Mother God Cult?
However, he grabbed a few words, "Angela Branch, if you don't make it clear, I won't go with you!"
Toby didn't seem to have much patience, and said, "You have awakened your magic, it is not safe for you to stay in this city at all, if someone finds out, you will be put on the gallows sooner or later, are you not afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid, but I don't know you!" Mars said directly.
Although Toby did not show hostility for the time being, who knows where he will be taken to, and his current magic cannot threaten people at all, this Toby can easily hold the steel needle, which means that the other party's strength is much stronger than him.
Besides, how could he walk, because his legs were disabled? Mars could not trust him to carry him on his back.
Toby was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that a rookie who had just awakened his magic would refuse him, and as an extradition, he had to explain the pros and cons and make his purpose clear.
"Mars, you may be worried about something, but what I want to tell you is that the place I'm going to take you to is absolutely safe for you, and there are many dishes like yours...... Newly awakened magicians, and there will be magisters who teach you to practice magic, and if you stay here, it won't be long before you will be detected by the church, because every month, the church will perform a sacrifice, and every sacrifice will find the awakened magician, and then send the inquisitor to arrest it, and you will not escape at all. ”
"What?" said Mars.
He didn't know that the church would hold a sacrifice every month, and it was obvious that this sacrifice was not simple, and if it was held specifically to find a magician, then he would definitely not be able to escape.
"I don't know what the Mother Goddess teaches to hold sacrifices?"
"Tomorrow!" said Toby, with a cautious expression.
"Tomorrow?so soon?" Mars panicked, and he could see in Toby's eyes that Toby wasn't lying.
Toby asked, "Have you been practicing magic all this time?"
"Yes!" Mars nodded in acknowledgement.
"Fortunately, you have been practicing magic, the elder sensed you, and I flew here day and night, otherwise you may be in trouble, you hurry up and pack up, my people have prepared their ships at the port town docks, and they must leave before closing the city gates tonight." Toby said earnestly.
"But I can't walk......" Mars was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"Remember, if you can't get to Port Town before six o'clock in the afternoon, then I can't help it, because I must leave tonight, or I'll be caught by the Inquisitor, and I'll die." ”
With that, Toby turned into a blue dove, cooed, and flew out of the skylight and into the distance.
Mars, on the other hand, was in a stupor, for he had to report to the palace the day before if he wanted to leave the city.
