The summer solstice in December is the longest day and the shortest night in the city of El. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe tranquility before dawn was broken by the people in the city who saw them off one after another, and groups of people with large volumes of luggage stood in the square waiting for the final review, and the shallow worries before leaving turned into a sincere reassurance, and this group of teenagers who were about to travel far away could only be regarded as a group of children after all. Although it is a rare opportunity that comes once in ten years, it is rare that there is an abundance of magic herbs in the 'Time and Space Turbulence', and the blessed land cave is rich in mineral resources, and it is the area with the highest level of restriction and the least danger in the small plane.

But after all, it is a place that needs to be reached by passing through the time and space gate of the Ivory Tower Magic Guild in Sloit. Countless opportunities will always be accompanied by countless dangers, these teenagers who have just turned twelve, whether they can pass this wild experience and test, not to mention that the hearts of the teachers of the academy are hanging in the air, even their parents' faces are full of worries and concerns.

Just over a month ago, they were jumping lattices on the road in front of their homes, catching insects in the weeds in the gutters on the side of the road, and drooling over a bowl of smoothies in front of the street shop. But now, after more than a month of training, these teenagers have put on light leather armor and are standing in the square in the north of the city with high spirits. Now that the North City Gate has been opened early, it is like a grand event, and the flow of people at the city gate is endless.

I was caught between Fanny and Tracy, and Ryan followed behind us, helping me carry my magic belt bag out of the North City Gate with the flow of people, cross the wooden bridge over the wide moat, and look out into the square outside the North City, where a large number of people had gathered, and the joy had been left at last night's farewell party, and now the family members who saw me off were with some reluctance and worry. Fanny, who had been comforted by me and Leant, looked a little uneasy again, she looked at me with some hesitation and said, "Jia, this expedition is free and voluntary, otherwise let's not go, I heard from others that it is still a little dangerous!"

"Mom, it's not like you're going to let Jia make up her own mind, you should respect his decision!" Tracy was beside me, playing with my arm, looking around curiously, and shy away at Fanny's worried words.

"Tracy, what do you know, Jia is now a magical nobleman, even if she doesn't take risks, she just waits for four years to graduate smoothly from the magic academy, and she can live a beautiful life, why take risks at this time?" Fanny's idea is always to be a little rich, she doesn't have too high requirements for life, she knows very well how to make herself happy, and Fanny is also quite distressed about her daughter who is full of adventurous spirit.

"Young life is to be full of adventure and challenges, so that life can be considered meaningful, I have already planned, when the summer vacation comes, I will join a wild adventure group, to explore the eight hundred miles of primeval forest in the Ziqing Mountains, the origin of the White Elephant River in the southernmost part of Sloitt Province, when the time comes, don't send me off like this, I can't stand you!" Tracy's short hair is shoulder-length, which is the most popular hairstyle among female fencers.

Ryant, who was following us, said at this time: "Don't worry too much about Jia, his spring trip in the past few years has been far more dangerous than this adventure, isn't it also safe to return? This time, thousands of the best children in the entire Sloy Province will participate in this adventure, and maybe Jia will make some good friends in this adventure! This is a rare thing, and we Stans College freshmen, I don't know how many of them have fought for this matter!"

Rryant's words were always the most convincing, and Fanny's slightly flustered heart quieted down again after hearing him say this.

I asked Tracy, "Tracy, what are you looking around looking around, what are you looking at? Didn't Arendt get drunk last night? He couldn't have come so early after being carried home by Yveli. ”

"I knew that you had a magician's girlfriend at the Academy of Magic, and I'm guessing which of these girls is ...... right now."

I've got black lines all over my head......

On the square, those warrior apprentices who have just entered the school for more than a month have begun to enter their ranks one after another, they are all the best of the new students of the warrior academy, these young teenagers are carrying heavy bags, full of anticipation to return to the team. The instructors in the academies standing at the head of the team looked a little lower, and when an instructor saw that a student had hung a whole ham on the outside of his travel pocket and staggered over, he finally couldn't hold back his fiery temper anymore, and rushed forward in stride, ripped off the heavy bag, and cleaned out the excess food and some unimportant things inside.

"According to the regulations, each person is only allowed to bring enough rations for seven days, and the weight of the march is not allowed to exceed thirty kilograms, otherwise it will not take a day, your luggage will crush your body, you are not mules, except for some necessary wilderness survival tools and weapons, reduce the weight as much as possible, you must form small groups before entering the Xinliu Valley, and coordinate with each other what kind of wilderness survival tools to bring......"

Although the instructors have been repeating these words for the past few days, before leaving, there are still students who have failed to keep their bottom line.

I finally found a meeting place for the magic apprentices in the square, and from a distance, I saw Ya wearing a dark green Calemian magic suit, dark green six-point pants and a dark green top with long sleeves, which looked like the dress of a noble mage, she combed a high ponytail behind her head to make herself look younger, and specially wore flat crystal sandals, but still half a head taller than me. With a faint smile on her face, she walked towards me......

Although I can see the gathering area of the new students of the Magic Academy from a distance, it is still relatively remote, but fortunately, no one from the students over there noticed me here.

However, I know what Jaya wants!

I let go of the hand that was holding Fanny's arm and took two quick steps forward. Fanny squinted at Ya, and it seemed that she was not in the slightest surprise at Ya's appearance, and she could see that there was no strangeness in the slightest. I calmly stepped forward and opened her arms, Ya's face was slightly red, but I could see a hint of joy in her eyes, obediently burrowed into my arms, put her head gently on my shoulders, put her hands around my back, and performed a very intimate veneer with me.

I took Ya's hand and turned around and brought her to Fanny and Ryant, who had already covered her mouth with her hand in surprise.

I'm introducing my family members to Yayi: Ryant, Fanny, Tracy!

"Are you an official magician?This medal is a magician badge that only the Magic Guild has the right to issue?" Tracy looked at the magic badge on Ya's clothes in surprise, I rarely pay attention to such a badge, because the teachers of the entire magic academy, everyone wears such a badge, originally I thought this was a badge that symbolized the identity of the teacher, but I didn't expect it to mean that it was an official magician......

My ears linger with what Ya said to me at the castle: Do you want to have a magician's girlfriend or lover?

"That's right, I'm a wood magician, and I'm in a relationship with Jia right now, so it's a pleasure to meet you!" said hello to my family.

Fanny motioned for me to go with her to a quiet place to be alone for a while, as there was still some time before the meeting.

"I really want to go on an adventure with you!" Ya said with a sigh.

I don't want to be noticed by too many freshmen in the house, and the crowd is a great cover. However, because of Fanny and Ryan not far away, I couldn't have too much intimacy with Ya, so I had to say, "Ha! Then I have to grow up quickly, and I will work hard!"

"I'm waiting for you to come back......"

As Jaya left, I saw Sophie waiting outside the crowd, and when she saw me, she smiled and waved goodbye to me.

Fanny and Ryan snuggled up to each other, standing at the edge of the square, reluctantly watching me run towards the gathering place of the new students of the Magic Academy, Ryan must have been constantly comforting Fanny, who was already panicking: "Don't worry, our Jijia is a very good magician, this is just a short adventure, the Academy of Magic will have proper arrangements, we just need to wait quietly for him to return safely." ”

"Fanny, you don't have to worry about Jia, when I was chatting in his attic last night, he was sorting out his magic fanny pack, you can't imagine how many magic scrolls he stuffed into that little magic fanny pack, it's enough to open a magic scroll shop, I asked him where he got so many magic scrolls, and he kept laughing and didn't say anything!" Tracy reported to Fanny with some indignation......

"Our Jiga has finally grown up......"

......

When I returned to the team, most of the class was already waiting quietly in the team, only the fat Bobby was foaming at the mouth and discussing yesterday's water polo match, it seemed that their water polo team training was not going well, and in recent times, I have been hiding in the magic laboratory of the Yerkes Scholar almost every day to draw magic scrolls, he can't find my people, and he has missed a few more training opportunities, I don't know if my bench can be kept.

Mrs. Joyce, an ancient elven language magic teacher, was also at the meeting place of the Academy of Magic, and next to her stood a shy young man wearing a white silk shirt, a light green leather waistcoat, soft sheepskin tight-fitting crotch trousers, and long ice blue deerskin soft boots. When I saw Mrs. Joyce writhing her fat body and holding his hand and walking towards me, I knew that he was the little grandson that Mrs. Joyce called Darwin.

He looked at me curiously, too.

I saw Mrs. Joyce approaching and hurriedly greeted her, she is my ancient elven teacher after all, and I still have to complete the credits of this subject at the end of the semester!

"Morning, Mrs. Joyce!" I said hello to Mrs. Joyce, and then held out my hand to Darwin, "Hello, you're Darwin! My name is Giga, it's a pleasure to meet you, and welcome to our team!"

"Hello, Giga!" Darwin's words seemed few in the presence of Mrs. Joyce.

Before leaving, when assigning the squad, the head of the Academy of Magic, Goldfrie, suggested that each mage apprentice should join a separate squad of warriors. The team leaders and instructors reminded the team not to be too bloated, not more than 15 people, and not less than 5 people. Oversized teams can lead to reduced harvests, wasted resources, and too few team members are relatively dangerous.

In the beginning, teams were allowed to be formed freely, but the Academy of Magic proposed that the apprentices should be spread out into squads as much as possible, in order to maximize the use of resources. There were only twenty-six magic apprentices who participated in the expedition to the Valley of the Willows, while there were nearly three hundred warrior apprentices selected from various academies in the entire city of El to participate in this adventure. As a result, on average, there is only one magic apprentice for every ten warrior apprentices. During the expedition, the magic apprentice with the healing scroll is the safety of the team. However, having too many magic apprentices in a squad can drastically reduce the team's combat effectiveness.

Each house has some of the best freshmen, and the instructors select them, giving them the freedom to choose their partners to form a team. The rest of the Warrior Apprentices and Magic Apprentices will be combined by the instructors to form a makeshift squad.

This time, the leader of the magic academy is Flender of the fire magic class, and because of the number of people on the magic academy's side, you can first select three outstanding captains and freely choose your own team members. Flender directly chose me, Thomas, and Vesft from the Qi magic class as captains, so let's choose our own team first.

I didn't hesitate to pull Ying Li out of the team of the Academy of Magic, and led her to the Warrior Academy, if it was too late, Helena and Becky would definitely be surrounded by new students who admired them, and sure enough, it was very difficult to pull Helena, Becky and Lagertis out of the crowd. Then I found Darwin in the ranger class, the young man with a somewhat shy personality didn't expect that my companions were actually the two goddesses of the Warrior Division, Helena and Becky, and the ranger apprentice Lagerdis, who was the most favored by the instructor in the ranger class and was known as the most promising to become the youngest 'Hawkeye' in history, and the next moment, the young man's eyes were a little glazed.

In fact, Lagertis was also selected by the Ranger class to be the captain, but when he saw me running over with Ying Li, Lagertis took the initiative to give up his identity as the captain and join our team.

But fortunately, the shy teenager quickly adjusted his mentality, a few of us stood together, waiting for the team leader teachers to assign the magic caravan seat number, before a few of us had already allocated the things they had prepared, and the bags were also prepared by the standard of wild exploration, so at this time it seemed the most relaxed and leisurely, and several people did not have too many bags.

I asked him what kind of apprentice he was, and he hesitantly replied that it was shield warfare, and that our squad was too small to have a shield battle, and that if there was a shield battle, it would be exactly what I wanted, so I readily agreed to his request.

There are two divisions that attract the most attention, the first of which is the Academy of Magic, where almost every team wants to have a trusted apprentice of magic to be their teammate. Another place is the shield combat class of the Warrior Academy, and each squad needs a person who always walks in the front, holding up a shield to block all dangers ahead. Originally, I was worried that Darwin's friends might be snatched up by other teams if I came too late, but when I saw the 'shield battle', I realized why Darwin had such a hesitant and embarrassed expression when he asked me.

......

The small, delicate girl standing in front of us, dressed in cheap hard leather armor, carrying an iris shield behind her back, and a swarthy hammer hanging from her waist, looked at us with a pair of round eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you want to take me?"

"Rita!" said Darwin, who squeezed up from behind us and greeted her.

"Oh no, Darwin, I don't want to be a burden to your squad, I'll make you blamed by your friends, I can join some temporary squads, you see, I'll take all the iris shields you gave me! Don't give me any more help, I'm actually feeling good!" The girl understood what was going on for a moment, and then decided not to join our team.

Every shield warrior needs to have a very solid armor, apparently the girl's armor is just a training equipment issued to shield apprentices in the warrior academy, and almost no one in these shield battles on the expedition wears such a cheap hard leather armor. This is a very real problem, almost all shield battles are very demanding on their own defensive equipment, and it is very important to have a good armor on the battlefield.

But I think the other way around, being able to rank among the outstanding freshmen with such a piece of equipment also illustrates a problem, that is, the sweet girl in front of me, who is petite and exquisite, and **** looks very material, should have a certain strength.

But what impressed me the most was the girl's personality. The girl's stubborn and strong personality made me think she could be trusted, so I said to her, "Rita, we invited you not because you were Darwin's friend, but because we need you, after all, you have a strong shield, don't you?"

When the girl's name Rita heard me say this, her eyes immediately brightened, and she nodded firmly......

Five 20-metre-long caravans drove slowly northwest along the widest road on the outskirts of Eyre, surrounded by golden wheat fields just after the summer solstice. In the farmland, every once in a short distance there will be a scarecrow wearing a cloak and a hat, so that those crows looking for food do not dare to fall.

Pulling these five magic caravans is a giant earth lizard, each of which is more than ten meters long, four iron cables the thickness of adult arms link the earth lizard beast and the magic caravan, the iron rope is stretched straight because of the load of the very heavy magic caravan, each caravan has at least sixteen sets of wheels, rolling two deep ruts on the road, the rising sun is behind the magic caravan, stretching our shadows for a long time.

A group of seven of us sat on benches in the caravan, and it felt like we were sitting in the carriage of a train, and the carriage felt unusually stable. Darwin and I occasionally chatted with each other about interesting things in our respective house classes, and we never got bored. Only Rita, who was sitting next to Darwin, seemed a little reserved, with her head down and holding the light blue iris shield, and she didn't like to talk much.

Some of the freshmen who have almost never left the city of El are curious to look at the new scenery outside the window, and a new world is slowly opening up before our eyes...... (To be continued.) )
