"I'm back, how was this operation, were you injured?" the old man glanced at Li Kong, who had returned to the back mountain, and asked lazily.

"Well, everything went well. Li Kong took off his grimace mask, picked a dead grass on the side of the road, put it to his mouth, and chewed it.

Every time he came back, the old man would ask the same question, and he still didn't understand why the old man only asked this one question and never cared about anything else.

For example: whether there are failures, or successes. What is the final result of the opponent and so on.

"You've been studying magic with me for almost a year, haven't you?" asked the old man, looking up at the somewhat dim sky.

The old man's sudden question made Li Kong stunned, why did the old man suddenly ask this question. A bad premonition came over me. With some trembling, he took down the withered grass in his mouth and asked, "Why did the teacher suddenly ask that?"

"The eagle always has to learn to fly, the teacher can't always accompany you, the teacher also has something to do, I have seen all your efforts this year, you are very hard, really hard. The old man walked up to Li Kong, stretched out his hand and patted Li Kong's head, and said softly.

In the past few months, every time he asked Li Kong to practice with those treacherous people, he would quietly follow him, silently watching Li Kong in the dark, and he could clearly recall the scene of the boy's first murder.

He vomited, he couldn't vomit, but when he returned to the back mountain, he didn't complain or mention it, just endured it alone.

At that moment, Liu Kuilin's heart was pinched, he wanted the boy to vent out, but the boy didn't, he still replied with a smile: Teacher, I'm fine.

But Liu Kuilin always felt ashamed of the teenager in front of him, and he asked himself several times: He was only twelve years old, why did he let his childhood experience these terrible things.

The air suddenly seemed to freeze.

Li Kong cried, the strong boy cried for the first time, he didn't cry when he awakened the magic, he didn't cry when he duel with the dark puppet until he fainted, and he didn't cry the first time he killed someone.

But now he's crying. Tears flowed down the boy's cheeks like pearls with broken threads.

"Isn't the teacher empty, you don't want to be empty, can't I change it?" Li Kong said aggrievedly with a small face.

"No, you're doing a great job, boy, even more than I expected. The old man stretched out his hand to wipe Li Kong's tears away, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Then why did the teacher kick me away?"

"You've grown up, you can't always be with me, a bad old man, there's a huge world out there waiting for you to explore, and besides, who said I don't want you anymore.

I just have something to do, and when I'm done, I'll come to you, and then I'll see a powerful magician, not a little cat. Pulling Li Kong to sit on the stone beside him, he gently comforted the young man who suddenly became fragile.

The night was quiet, only the chirping of crickets echoed in the mountains behind the mountain, which seemed to play a music for the night.

Looking at the young man who was sleeping in his arms, he whispered, "He is still too young to take on this responsibility in advance, it seems that I need to do something for him."

Give him more free time, he's just a kid. Then he picked up the boy and walked to the hut......

"Teacher, teacher. Li Kong hurriedly shouted as soon as he got up in the morning, he was afraid that the old man would leave without saying a word. So I hurriedly went down to the ground and searched around.

"I haven't left yet, don't worry, come and eat noodles when you wake up, and I'll take you to a new place to learn magic after eating. The old man came out of the back of the hut with two bowls of hot noodles in his hands.

"Teacher, where are you going to take me this time?" asked as he ate the hot noodles made by the old man.

Looking at the young and old man who was alive and kicking up today, he was also in a good mood, stroked his beard and said, "Yuzhou Magic Middle School." ”

"Well, going to school?" the boy asked, tilting his head.

"Yes, it's similar to a normal person's middle school, except that the people who go there are magicians, and you can meet new people and new things.

Tomorrow is the day to recruit students, and we will leave later. The old man took a bite of the noodles and explained......

Following the old man off the train, Li Kong looked at this Yuzhou City curiously, and couldn't help but sigh: It is worthy of being a high-end city, and high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere, and there is no comparison with Yangzhou City.

"May I ask where is Yuzhou Magic Middle School?" asked the young man who had found a glasses and asked politely.

"Yuzhou Magic Middle School, I heard it right, old man, are you asking the wrong question, Yuzhou Magic Middle School is where magicians go. The young man in glasses asked rhetorically with some incredulity.

This ordinarily dressed old man actually asked the best magic middle school in Yuzhou City, which made him not surprised.

"That's right, it's Yuzhou Magic Middle School, I heard that this school is recruiting students today, and I took my grandson to take a look. Liu Kuilin smiled and replied kindly.

"Grandpa, it just so happens that I'm going to take a look at the magic admissions test this year, let's go together. The glasses boy said very familiarly, and insisted on pulling the old man Li Kong to take a look with him.

Liu Kuilin, who just didn't know the road, agreed.

Along the way, they also learned that the glasses young man's name was Liu Ru, a first-order magician of the water system, but he was not able to enter the magic academy because of his poor talent, but he would visit every year when Yuzhou Magic Middle School recruited students, which was also a desire to comfort his heart.

Listening to Liu Ru's narration, Li Kong also had to admit that the development of high-level cities was already unattainable for first-order magicians in Yangzhou City, and he could only be regarded as ordinary people here.

"It's almost there, grandpa, we're ready to get off, as soon as we get out of the subway station, we can see the gate of Yuzhou Magic Middle School. Before he arrived at the station, Liu Ru said enthusiastically.

Unable to resist Liu Ru's enthusiasm, the old man and Li Kong also stood up. After a while, the subway slowly stopped. Liu Ru said while supporting Liu Kuilin: "Grandpa, every year today, there will be a crowd of people at the gate of Yuzhou Magic Middle School, and we will be just right to arrive at this time, and we can grab a front position." ”

"Why do you want to grab a spot? Li Kong asked curiously.

"You don't know that some people are there at 3 a.m. in order to be able to get to a front row position, and there are people like us who arrive at 6 a.m. Liu Ru pushed his glasses and explained with a smile, it is normal for people who have not seen it to be curious.

Walking out of the subway station, Li Kong was shocked by the scene in front of him. In front of me is a wide square, in the center of which there is a huge field, and in the square there are many people standing, but the central field is empty.

And at the end of the square, there is a huge stone that reads Yuzhou Magic Middle School.

"That central field is the testing ground, I used to dream of entering this Yuzhou Magic Middle School, and I can't afford to be addicted to it if I don't have enough talent. Liu Ru looked at the center of the square and explained.

Looking at Liu Ru's appearance, Liu Kuilin smiled and didn't care too much.

"Young man, thank you for showing us the way, let's part here. Liu Kuilin patted Liu Ru's hand and smiled.

"Okay, goodbye, old man. Liu Ru shook his hand at the visitor and said.

For him, this old and young man were just two passers-by who met in Pingshui, and compared to his purpose, this was a trivial matter, so he quickly walked into the square to find a place with a wide field of vision, so that he could watch the admissions test.

"Teacher, I think Brother Liu is a very good person. Li Kong tilted his head to look at the old man and smiled

"Well, except for the fact that the cultivation talent is a little worse, the others are not bad, and they are very suitable. The old man looked at Liu Ru's back and said.

"Remember to learn to take care of yourself. ”

"It's okay to contact your parents more. ”

"When you fight with people, you have to keep more hole cards. ”

"Cultivation is a big deal, but you can't slack off. The old man's admonition kept ringing.

"Got it, I'll try. "The farther away the person goes, the quieter the voice.
