32. Awakening Ritual (Part I)
When the first rays of the morning sun shone into the attic, Fanny pushed open the door and walked in, looking at me with a slightly helpless expression. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Maybe she couldn't bear to wake me up, she opened the white curtains, and the sky was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes, I woke up from my sleep in a daze, and looked at Fanny with an obviously unhappy face, and then I suddenly overslept, originally today was the registration day for the magic awakening ceremony, if I went too late, I might have to wait until tomorrow to participate in the awakening ceremony, almost every year at this time of year, almost all twelve-year-old children in El City will gather at the War College, waiting in line to participate in the awakening ceremony.
Last year, I couldn't resist my curiosity about this grand ceremony, and begged Fanny to show me a little of it, and I thought that the spectacle was really shocking, and the crowds were everywhere, like a grand festival. Because of this, I lost my initial curiosity about holding the ceremony. Because of this, I forgot to remind myself of something important today before going to bed yesterday, and I couldn't get out of bed early.
Fanny barged in, because I hadn't gone downstairs for breakfast, I jumped out of bed quickly, stepped on a pair of wooden slippers, and with a bird's nest of hair, I slipped downstairs to go to the dining room for breakfast, and the wooden staircase made a clear thud, and I rushed down in a gust of wind and ran into the kitchen and slipped into my place.
Ryan sat at the dining table with a provincial newspaper in his hand, a cup of tea in front of him, the aroma made the whole room have a faint fragrance, Tracy was wearing a cool little vest and shorts, her figure was uneven, she was at a good age, she was a beautiful moment with buds, her body was like full of vitality, stained with the buds of morning dew, it was so beautiful and flawless.
She was drinking polenta with sleepy eyes. There were also two fried eggs on the plate in the center of the table, and there was already a plate in front of my seat, and there were particularly ugly fried eggs in it, and there were some burnt marks on one side, so I knew that it was definitely not from Fanny, but I had to look at it with a surprised expression. Then, with the expression of eating a delicious meal, the bitter omelette is devoured
With a teasing smile on his lips, Ryan looked intently at the newspaper, crossed his legs in his chair, and hummed an inaudible song. When I was about to finish a bowl of polenta, I put down the newspaper in my hand, raised my eyes to look at the mahogany table clock beside me, calculated that there was still some time, and pondered for a moment before asking me, "Today you are going to participate in the magic awakening ceremony." I'm curious to know why, can you give me a reason, I think the Junior Warrior Academy of the War Academy in El City can be called the best, but it is definitely not the most suitable academy, even if it is a very talented child, it is very difficult to successfully graduate from the Junior Warrior Academy of the War Academy. ”
"But I want to try!" I could only stubbornly find a lame excuse, chewing a crisp pickle strip in my mouth. He took a big sip of polenta and buried his head in the bowl. Actually, I'd love to tell Lyant. I just want to go to the School of Magic at the War College, but how can I say that?
Stans College did not have a Ministry of Magic, which was the biggest flaw of Stans College. Fanny and Ryan never expected me to become a magician, they wanted me to learn the sword from Ryan like Tracy, and Ryan was very satisfied with my physical fitness. As a swordsman, the most important thing you need is not how strong your strength is or how fast you are, but your body's coordination and balance, followed by speed and accuracy. In the end, of course, power is indispensable.
Among the many twelve-year-old children in El City, my strength is not dominant, but my speed and endurance can even reach the physical strength of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, although Ryan does not say it, but I know that he very much wants to be my martial arts enlightenment, but I know that at the beginning of the Star Lake Grassland Jamper has become the leader of my martial arts enlightenment, and later I met Kut, who taught me and Kuzi how to dodge the "charge" The big chief of skills, let me follow the orc martial arts in my bones, those martial arts full of explosive and destructive power, so I don't have the slightest interest in swordsmanship, every time Ryan tactfully offered to let me practice swords, I would find some reason to escape, gradually, he began to understand that I didn't have any idea about his martial arts, and slowly his heart faded.
But now, when he reached the age of going to school, he began to have new ideas, especially when he knew my performance in the oak forest outside the small town of Fekang, and began to slowly reflect on the neglect of me in recent years, and I was also a child who dared to travel alone in the mountains and forests of the province of Sloit, and my mature heart and experience were difficult to find in these urban children.
"Have you thought about what you want to learn in the future, you never said which aspect of martial arts you like!" "Ryan was also very curious, wanted to find out what I thought, I complained in my heart, in fact, I really don't have any ideas, if I have to say that I like that kind of martial arts, in fact, I like more extreme and violent dagger weapons, but I disdain to attack and kill and other means, I prefer those skills and tactics on Yveli.
By this time, Fanny had already come down from the stairs with a cardboard box, and when she saw that I had finished eating, she did not forget to compliment Tracy. She said to Tracy, "First of all, thank you to our little princess for her dedication early in the morning, to make these breakfasts with me early in the morning, a few days is a special day, our Jia is going to the War College to participate in the annual grand celebration, the magic ceremony, and then, I and I and Tracy have our most sincere wishes to our most beloved little son, Jia, oh, yes, Jia! Come, I have prepared a gift for you, come and open it!"
"What is this?" I looked over curiously, it was a colorful cardboard box, and there were actually colored stripes tied with knots on it, Tracy also leaned over, sniffed with her sensitive nose, frowned and snorted, and said, "It's soft leather inner armor, yellow sheepskin!"
"Oh, Tracy, can't you just let Jia open his gift with some suspense?" Fanny grumbled very dissatisfied, and then took the lid of the box open with one hand, revealing a finely made soft leather inner armor inside, which I think must have been customized to my figure, and it fit perfectly. And the body will not be suffocated when doing all kinds of movements.
"Thank you, Fanny. I love it!" I smiled at Fanny.
When I opened the door, I found that there were already many people on the street. Originally, I had only convinced Ryan and Fanny that there would be a lot of people at this ceremony, and that if I walked into the War College, I would only be squeezed to death, so they gave up the idea of sending me to the War College in person. However, he refused to let me go to the War College alone, and finally Tracy took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany me to the magic awakening ceremony, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.
When I passed by the gate of Sister Guoguo's house, I saw Su waving vigorously to me in the glass window. She had probably forgotten about our embarrassment yesterday, and I even saw a fiery figure beside her, fleeting in the window, and I think she was Sue's second sister, the girl named Annie. It turned out that she actually came back.
That curly red hair reminded me of Katarina, she was moving so fast that I couldn't even catch her.
Sue was in a wheelchair and saw me standing at the door of her house, staring at her in place, and was so ashamed that she hurriedly hid in the corner.
"Her eyes are as clear as water...... Tracy sighed softly, how could the people on this street not know this beautiful girl like an angel. She, like her sisters, always had something special about her. For example, the genius water magician Guoguo, the sword dancer Anne who studied with her teacher, the half-elf Gvalop, and Sue, who often sat under the lemon tree and read books. Tracy asked in disgust, "You don't like her, do you?"
"I didn't!"
"The more quibbles, the more revealing ......"
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
"Jia, isn't there anything that can surprise and surprise you?" Tracy put his hands in his trouser pockets. She wore a white shirt with lace and a brown deerskin waistcoat, her eyes were a little slender, she looked heroic when she squinted in the sun, and her long hair was no longer behind her ears.
We walked north along the stone-paved avenue. The streets are lined with shops that open early on a special day like today. There are many pedestrians on the street, and there are occasional cars and horses. The aroma of breakfast pastries spreads through the streets, and people from the small towns who have come from outside the city gather in front of the various breakfast stalls to buy a bite to eat in a hurry.
The children who came from outside looked at everything in the city with curiosity, the black street lamps on the streets, the unique signs in front of the shops, the beautiful clothes and furnishings in the bright and clean closet counters, from the beds to the shoes and socks.
The weather was good, and the clouds in the sky were like a faint smoke, and maybe after a while they would completely disperse.
Tracy walked in front, I had to work hard to keep up with her, I saw that she actually took the initiative to tell Fanny this time that she would lead me to the Ministry of Magic at the War College to line up and participate in the magic awakening ceremony, which made me a little incomprehensible, didn't this girl never pay attention to my business? I followed a little suspiciously, looking cautious, like a little civet cat, and my heart was full of vigilance.
"I'm so happy, aren't I surprised?" I said, pretending to be puzzled.
Tracy raised her chin high, snorted softly, and said directly, "Less, are you insulting my intelligence, or do you insist that everyone is a fool?"
All the high-level buildings in El City are built on a hill that is not too high, including the mansions of the nobles in El City, the City Hall, the Magic Guild of El City, and covers an area of up to 100 acres, directly occupying all the hills above the City Hall, the entire War College is like a park in the noisy city, and among the thick green vegetation, there is a War College hidden. Tracy and I stood at the foot of the hill from afar, looking up at the War College hidden in the green forest, and there was a strong earth elemental aura that spread out again, filling the entire small hill.
Countless people poured into the path to the Junior School of Magic, and they were followed by a child about my age, who was looking at me curiously as they passed me. Those big innocent and ignorant eyes shone with curiosity.
Tracy and I walked down the street along the crowd, and when I heard her sarcasm, I replied not to be outdone: "Please use honorifics on me, if I can be admitted to the War College and successfully graduate, then it is likely that when I served in the North Wind Legion, I was a lieutenant, and the chances of me dying on the battlefield are very slim, and you say that you will marry me at that time, and your future ......."
"If you go on, I'm not sure I'll be able to keep myself from tearing your mouth apart!" I heard Tracy say to me through gritted teeth, holding my ear with one hand like an intimate brother and sister whispering again.
"Stop talking and resign yourself to your fate! Tracy. I couldn't stop saying to her
She scolded me impatiently: "Shut up!"
In fact, I have long shut up, I am in the crowd, like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, pushed and squeezed by the surging crowd, and involuntarily move forward. Tracy saw that I was about to be drowned in the crowd, so he chased me in the crowd in a bit of a panic. This time she struggled to catch up with me in the crowd, and I don't know how much effort it spent. Then she grabbed my hand, refusing to let go no matter what, she used her slender body to block in front of me, pushed away the pedestrians in front of me, and pushed me forward.
In the distance, we finally saw the mountain gate of the War College, and just as we were trying to figure out how to rush up to sign up, we suddenly heard someone calling my name in the corner of the wall, and I looked over for the sound, and saw Arendt and Yveli huddled there with a group of friends from their Stans Academy, shouting my name and beckoning me over.
At this time, Tracy didn't even think about it, just pulled me, squeezed away the few people in front of me, and walked towards Arendt with difficulty.
Tracy held my hand very tightly, always worried that I would be broken up by the crowd.
Laboriously reached Arendt's side and asked him, "Why are you here too?"
"Bring them to the Awakening Ritual, there are a lot of them!" Arendt moved away a little, and behind him was a quiet girl who looked almost my age. At this time, it seems to remind me of the scene when I was taking the high school entrance examination, the surging crowd outside the mountain gate of the War College makes people feel very familiar, and my thoughts sink into the picture of this moment in front of me.
Tracy and Arent switched positions to keep him out of the crowd, Tracy leaned against the corner and looked down at Arendt's sister, teasing him and saying, "I don't know if you still know how to take care of people, Arendt!"
"There's a lot you don't know......" (To be continued.) )
