106. Imperceptible change
Helena and Becky were promoted to Constructed Knight at the same time, and we decided we should celebrate it.
The big dining hall of the Royal Academy of Magic was not a place to chat, Noah and I hurriedly swept the food from the plate, and then quickly left the dining hall under the watchful eyes of a group of magical students, Helena took my arm and happily told me about some of the events that had happened in the past few days, she killed an Earth Storm Bear in the ice field of the Golf plane, and she also realized the true meaning of the sword dancer during the battle, and successfully promoted to a sword dancer.
Grains of snow grits fell from the sky, and as the north wind penetrated into the neck, it made people feel cold, and the clouds were so low that it was almost impossible to see the floating royal city overhead, and the craters of the Majaro crater around it also disappeared from view.
We walked briskly through the college's yellow meadows to the academy's gates and boarded the magic caravan that had been waiting there.
This is the first snow of the winter, and the farmers around Majaro should breathe a sigh of relief for this, when this winter snow covers the wheat fields, it means that there will be a good harvest next spring, but this snow means that the common people in DìDū will enter the heating period in full swing, and the fireplace in the house needs to burn a little firewood every night, so that the house will not be so cold.
There is a bar on the food street on the west side of the academy, the bar not only sells alcohol, but also has two chefs who can cook some light meals for the drinkers, most of the people who usually come here to consume are students of the Academy of Magic and the Swordsman Academy, and gradually this bar has become a meeting place for the noble ladies and young magicians of the Academy of Magic, and people from outside rarely come to this bar to drink.
We entered the bar in the snow, pushed the door and walked in as soon as we felt the heat rushing in our faces, the air contained a faint smell of cider, the soothing sound of the harp wafted out from the innermost part of the hall, and the waiters in white shirts and gray vests led us into a private room at the door, and they saw that our group of people except for magicians were almost all dressed in demonic costumes, and they did not dare to slack off, and later the manager of the bar himself walked in to receive us.
The bar manager saw Noah's figure in the crowd and hurriedly greeted him familiarly, I didn't think that Noah was actually a regular customer here, no wonder everyone was ready to take advantage of the snow to come out for a drink, he didn't think much about recommending this place to us, for me, only the bar in the back street of the Tower of Pride is familiar to me.
We ordered some golden cider and barley wine, and snacks like nuts, dried meat, and dried fish, and everyone sat down around the sofa, and the bar was quiet, and the drinkers were whispering even when they were talking, so that the melodious harp sound was clear, like flowing water across the bar.
Ying Li and Le Die are huddled together on a sofa, their sisters have been getting along more well recently, especially after the incident at the Hot Spring Villa, Le Die seems to have become more cheerful, and the two of them sit together and whisper quietly, even Becky doesn't want to sit too close.
Becky and Tinuville seem to be very talkative, this elven beauty has a double cultivation of magic and martial arts, and she also has a deep understanding of martial arts.
For elves, their physical skills are to rely on some techniques to exercise body flexibility and coordination to a certain limit, so that the experience gained on the fusion battlefield can comprehend a set of their own physical skills according to each person's own characteristics, and the elves who believe in the goddess of the moon will turn the battle into a beautiful artistic performance, but this kind of fancy martial arts is often only suitable for these elves who have a long life to practice.
Helena's sword dancer professional mentor thought that the reason why she didn't break through was because she had too little contact with actual combat, and some things had to be realized between life and death, so the professional mentor took Helena to the Golf plane, the strongest demonic beast on this small plane was the Earth Storm Bear on the Ice Field, maybe as the career mentor said, when Helena fought the Earth Storm Bear alone, she really broke through the bottleneck of the tenth-level swordsman, but in my opinion, maybe it was just that she had a deeper understanding of the Twin Blade Flow, and her hard training in the recent period。
Helena has been very concerned lately, and wants to go with us to the wild swamps of Strange Rock City this winter, but if there is no certain ability to protect themselves, even if they have a grandmaster-level warrior or archmage by their side, those dangers lurking in the jungle cannot be avoided, which is the biggest reason why she and Becky can't wait to break through the bottleneck of a warrior.
It didn't take long for Senior Vernon to arrive with a female companion, he and Noah had been very prosperous at the Royal Academy of Magic recently, and due to the fact that the oven of the 'Lava Surge' magic rune board occupied a certain market in Dì Dū, Vernon Cazalaias and Noah Mensa became the most successful inventors of the Royal Academy of Magic Summer Festival, and then their names gradually became known in the Dì Dū wizarding community, and the two of them even became candidates for this year's Dì Dū Top Ten Outstanding Young Magicians.
I originally thought that Senior Vernon would take the opportunity to chase Senior Erica, but I didn't expect to see him after a while, there was another noble girl sitting next to him, I didn't want to ask Senior Vernon, so I turned my head and glanced at Noah, Noah was holding a wine glass, and was listening very carefully to Tinuvel sharing some elf-style martial arts with us, Noah and I were also members of the 'Sword and Rose Society', and what Lucia proposed at the beginning' Magicians also need to know how to fight, and Lucia's skills and tactics are also from the elven world, so Noah can occasionally interject a sentence or two.
Noah saw me staring at him, and quickly understood my thoughts, and when Shirley Manran greeted Senior Vernon and raised his glass, he leaned into my ear and whispered to me: "He had a showdown with Senior Erica, and was rejected by Senior Erica without accident, and I don't understand what kind of magic Senior Halib has, and he was able to regain Senior Erica's forgiveness, in short, he can only be said to be a loser in this matter." What a good girl, she likes scumbags, and she always fantasizes that one day a scumbag can become a prince charming as good as 'Wales'...... Phew!"
As he spoke, Noah wanted to come over and have a lively chat with me, but Helena glared back.
I was with Noah, and there was always something to say, and I said to Noah, "Hey, hey, hey, how I sounded, this sentence always felt like you were insinuating me......"
"How could I!" Noah explained with an innocent look on his face, spreading his hands and smiling mischiely.
Becky and the girl next to Senior Vernon seemed to know each other, and the two of them said hello familiarly, and then the noble lady knew that there were still the two princesses of Prince James sitting here, so she hurriedly saluted Ying Li and Le Die, there are many nobles who live in DìDū, but this circle is really not big, and it is not uncommon to meet acquaintances on a certain occasion.
Shirley Newman put Noah's ear and said, "I think I saw the Halib you were talking about. ”
I couldn't help but look at Senior Vernon, and lowered my voice and said to Noah, "He's drinking here?"
Noah whispered to me, "Halib often comes to this bar, and the reason why Vernon and I found this bar is because of Senior Halib's relationship! Vernon and I secretly followed him and the noble lady of the High Swordsman Academy before, and I knew that there was a very good bar here! The Miss Viana next to Vernon also met here. ”
I couldn't help but press my forehead and said to Noah, "You guys are really good, aren't you afraid that the two of them will fight when they meet?"
"I hope that one day Vernon will have the courage to do it, or Helib will do it, and whoever does it first will beat him up...... Do you want to meet him now?" Noah asked me with a wink.
Noah looked like he was trying to do it, and I turned my head to look at the lively atmosphere in the private room, and said to him in a low voice, "You mean we're going to see Halib?" ”
"There's no reason to be afraid of him!" Noah muttered to me.
Since he became the successor of Galapagos City, the personal security has been much stronger than before, and every time he goes out, he is secretly protected by the knights of the province of Palestina, and Noah has always wanted to try the combat power of the group of knights in costume lately.
I took a sip of my wine with a smile on my face, and then asked him, "Do you think Senior Vernon would be willing to let us meddle in this matter?"
"No, it won't. Noah said categorically.
When I was talking to Noah, a group of people happened to pass by the door of our private room, a middle-aged man dressed as a magician was surrounded by a group of young magicians and walked inside, these people were crowded together and looked a little noisy, I couldn't help but glance at the door, and it happened that there was a familiar face among them who was also looking at us, and it was the senior Halib that Noah and I were talking about.
He and some young magicians passed by the door of the box with a magician in their arms, and he looked surprised when he saw a group of us sitting together.
Then he deliberately fell behind these young magicians, stood at the door of the private room with a goblet, smiled affectionately at Noah and Senior Vernon and said: "Senior Noah, Vernon, it turns out that you are also here, do you want to have a drink together, today we just invited a well-known scholar from the Magical Potions Guild, we just want to ask him some knowledge related to magic herbs, in fact, you should also come and listen, there are some things that cannot be learned in the Royal Academy of Magic, and the opportunity is rare......"
After Senior Vernon saw Halib, his face became a little ugly, and he smiled reluctantly, and then said, "I still forget it, I don't know anything about magic herbs, and I don't understand the knowledge of magic herbs at all, Noah, what do you say?"
"I don't need to. Noah said without hesitation, without even looking at Halib.
Senior Halib also seemed to know that Noah didn't want to see him, his face didn't change in the slightest, he turned his head and asked me very familiarly: "Senior Brother Jijia, don't you have a trading firm that does magic herbs again? Then you should learn more about magic herbs!"
"Ah, I'm a junior inscriptionist...... I'll forget it too!" I said.
Taking the opportunity to greet us, Halib glanced around our room, and when he saw that the three of us were unmoved, he said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Since you don't want to go, then forget it, I still have something to do over there, so I'll take my leave first." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out a little unstoppable, chasing the young magicians in front of him and leaving in a hurry.
Miss Viana, who sat next to Senior Vernon, seemed very polite, she sat quietly next to Senior Vernon most of the time, even if she didn't speak, she would listen carefully to the conversation of others, and occasionally interject a sentence would not seem very abrupt, and every sentence made people feel very comfortable to listen to.
After Senior Vernon drank two glasses of wine, his face turned red, he couldn't drink much in the first place, and he looked drunk after drinking two glasses in a row, he stared at me and asked, "I heard that you were attacked by demon creatures when you attended Prince Eric's autumn hunting party?"
I told Noah and Senior Vernon about this once, and it was obvious that he was a little drunk, but when I saw that Miss Viana seemed very interested, I realized that Vernon was asking for the noble lady next to me, probably to satisfy her curiosity.
I had to follow his topic and say, "Ahh ”
That Miss Viana was really interested and said, "I read from the magic newspaper that I killed a few Demon Lords when I exterminated the demon creatures this time?"
I thought about it before I said, "Sort of, my own power is suppressed by the power of the laws of the world, and those torture demons are not as powerful as rumored!"
At this time, Le Die, who was sitting next to Ying Li, smiled at me and said, "Speaking of which, you still have a share of the sacrifice in your hand!"
Seeing Le Die talk about it, Ying Li couldn't help but reach out and scratch the bridge of her nose, and then smiled at Le Die: "Didn't you say you didn't want that sacrifice?
"I didn't say I was going to give up......" Le Die protested to Ying Li in a low voice.
At this time, Shirley Newman leaned against Noah with a glass of barley wine and whispered to Noah, "Princess Yingli and Princess Ledie really look alike!"
Shirley Newman's words fell into my ears very clearly, and I immediately thought of what were the similarities between Ying Li and Le Die, and felt that the two of them were still much worse in appearance, but when I raised my head and re-observed Le Die and Ying Li, I found that Ying Li seemed to have really become much more beautiful, and her appearance really had a lot of similarities with Le Die.
It's Princess Irel's face......
