This gorgeous palace is built on a small island near the lake of Weiyang Lake, the whole island is not much bigger than a basketball court, just like the back garden of this palace in the water, on the island around the island with stones built a meter-high embankment, the cracks in the stones have grown green moss, this mango-shaped island on the other side of the forest is not too big, a dozen fir trees are not even called a forest. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The harsh morning sun shone across the island, and beams of sunlight pierced through the dense branches of the trees, leaving long patches of light obliquely.

Perhaps because of the hot spring water, the grass on the lawn has grown, and from a distance it looks like a large green blanket.

Most magicians believe that the morning is when the sun rises at its most intense, so the morning is the best time to meditate.

I don't agree with this statement, I think it actually leads junior magicians into the misconception that the reason why we think that the magic element is most abundant in the early morning is because meditation is best in the early morning.

The reason why I reject this view is because my magical talent 'magic perception' can clearly feel the magical elements floating in the air around the body, and those magical elements have not changed much due to sunrise and sunset, and I suspect that many junior magicians meditate well in the morning because they have the most mental energy in the morning.

Kig was sitting on the grass on the island by the lake at the moment, there was a round wolf skin cushion under her, the light gray fur looked very soft, and the faint wind element gathered around her, and the wind magic element around her was much stronger than other places, which was all due to the wolf skin cushion under her body.

There is no such luxury in the magic shop in El City, the first time I have seen this round two-foot square wind wolf skin mat, this wolf skin mat is actually an auxiliary magic daily necessities, the whole mat is made of the softest belly fur of the wind wolf, this wind wolf skin originally contains the magic elements of the wind attribute, and the inscription master drew the 'wind magic condensation circle' on the wolf skin, this fur cushion will make Qige meditate twice the result with half the effort.

However, when this kind of fur mat magic circle is running, it is necessary to consume the magic crystal of the wind attribute, and this kind of leather cushion with the 'Gathering Magic Array' has not become popular, also because ordinary magicians can't afford it at all, and the magic crystal stone consumed every month alone is a large expenditure.

Qige said that this lakeside island is her own private property, and it was bought back in the auction house with the magic crystals accumulated in the past few years, and this small island in the middle of the lake was once again under the name of a second-turn water magician, I don't know the specific reason, the water magician entrusted the auction house to auction off this lakeside island, and it happened that Qige had a large amount of magic crystals in his hand at that time, so he bought this lakeside island.

After Qige returned to the imperial capital from Guruding Town, it only took one year to complete the study of the primary magic academy, and from the seventh-level magic apprentice to break through the bottleneck of the ninth-level apprentice and promoted to a magician, and then because of his many achievements in herbalism, he crossed the junior magician in the next seven years, and successfully transferred to become a middle-level magician.

Being able to go from an ordinary magician to a magician in the Magic Research Institute in seven years is a leap that many magicians can't achieve in their lifetimes.

The 'T-shaped' architectural layout allows the building to be built more than half of the building in the water, and I sat on the marble railing of the terrace, facing the soft morning sun, squinting at Kig meditating on the grass, the sun shining on the black magic robes, and feeling warm all over my body.

"Do you want to come back to the Academy of Magic with me in the morning?" I asked Qige as she finished meditating.

Kig came up from the lawn and asked, "I'm going to the Academy of Magic in the morning, and I can give you a ride in a magic caravan." ”

"Not necessarily, I have this!" I pulled the magic sweeper out of my magic belt bag and let it float in front of me.

This thing takes up a lot of space in the backpack, but it is easy to use, the whole magic sweep is like a bicycle frame without tires, with a complicated floating magic circle engraved on the metal frame, and a wind magic booster at each end of the tail, which only needs the magician to control the mana to deliver the magic power into the magic sweeper's magic circle, so that it can fly at low altitude.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, in the imperial capital, don't just ride a sweep and fly around. Kig took a closer look at my magic sweep and admonished me.

I asked her, "Why?"

Standing on the lawn below the terrace, her face still reverberating with the glow of magic after the magic pool overflowed, she reached out and put her hand on the edge of the marble railing, stepped over the railing and sat side by side with me, before she said to me, "The Imperial Capital's guard corps has expressly forbidden magicians to use all kinds of magical flying equipment in the Imperial Capital!"

As he spoke, a long tail with a bright light crossed his head and fell more than ten kilometers away.

Qige looked speechless, shrugged his shoulders and sighed and said: "This kind of thing often happens, many magicians who ride the magic sweep are reluctant to look at the landmarks below when they travel to the Grimm Empire, and when they come to the imperial capital, they will be curious about the legendary palace, and want to fly closer to take a look, but unfortunately they often forget the forbidden space circle above their heads." ”

"So will low-altitude flight be restricted?" I asked curiously.

"It's still okay at ultra-low altitudes. Kig leaned forward and reached out to touch the armrest of the magic sweep, she looked fresh and capable in Calemian's magic shirt and trousers, and she lifted her leg to ride on the magic sweep, and then glanced at the magic crystal in the center of the magic circle, which was already broken.

I've been using it a lot, and all winter, when we hunt the barbarians, the magic sweep and sleigh are our main means of transportation. Moraya and I had to take turns using magic to scout and find the trails of the lone barbarians, and we mostly used sleds.

At the same time, on the way to the imperial capital by airship, I encountered the hijacking of the airship by the rebels, and met the flying wind-like monster wind snake on the way, and the floating magic circle of the airship was destroyed by the wind snake, and finally had to make an emergency landing, and I and Moraya and Sophie used the magic sweep to fly all the way, and finally arrived at San Carlos, so the magic crystal on the magic sweep has been shattered into slag, and when all the magic energy in it is exhausted, the magic crystal will turn into powder and be completely blown away by the wind.

Kig looked at the broken magic crystal, turned his head and asked me, "You like to fly on a handlebar?"

"It's okay, it's convenient after all. "I said, in fact, this kind of magic device with a high degree of freedom is quite fun to drive.

Powered by her magic, the magic swept forward like a wild horse, and Kig cheered, the sound of silver bells echoing through the grass.

......

Sitting in the carriage driving to the Academy of Magic, looking at the gorgeous manors on both sides of the lakeside avenue, the palaces inside are very different in style, but they are all extremely luxurious, here is only a few miles away from the floating royal city, it is said that the mansions here are expensive, and at the gate of each manor there is a monument to the honor of their own family, which is engraved with the honor and glorious history of the family.

On the front of the monument are also engraved family coats of arms, some of which are directly printed with a lifelike royal griffin, some of which are engraved with knights' shields and long swords, and some of which are engraved with some thorn vines.

Some looked at the exquisite buildings in the manor with envy, and some young girls in long skirts could be faintly seen walking through the cloister in the courtyard, and the magic caravan was parked in the square of the courtyard, which turned out to be the so-called living quarters of the upper nobles.

Kig told me that all the dukes of the Grimm Empire would buy a beautiful manor here, and that the first in line of succession among the princes' sons should stay in the imperial capital, which was an almost unwritten rule in the aristocratic circles in power.

I thought to myself: it turned out that these gorgeous palaces were inhabited by some protons who had no freedom, and Sha Aili, the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of Wall Elle in Sloit, lived here, and it was not until Hua Elle passed the title to Jingyue Ally that Sha Aili was free and was able to return to Sloit City.

I asked Kige, "Which mansion is the mansion of Duke Jingyue Ellie in Sloit?"

"Sloit Province is the northernmost barrier of the Grimm Empire, it blocks the southward footsteps of the barbarian tribes, the entire North Wind Legion is stationed in the Gloitt Empire, the Grand Dukes of the past Gloitt Province have a very important say in the Grimm Empire, look at the towering buildings on the hillside......" Kig stuck her head out to identify the direction of the carriage, then pointed along the lakeside avenue towards the location of the Floating Mountain King, her finger resting on a stone cliff on the lakeside, a large complex of circular domes, colorful houses with golden paint on the roofs, and flags fluttering on the roofs with the image of the Storm Bear.

"Right there, look at the entire building complex on the cliff is the private property of Grand Duke Sloyd, but since Sha Aili left here, that palace has not had a new owner for a long time, and it was rumored that the new fiancé of Grand Duke Jingyue will live here, maybe they will be married in the imperial capital soon, speaking of which, the youngest duchess of the empire controls the northern province in one hand, and the North Wind Legion with an army of 800,000 in the other, it is really beautiful!" Talking about Grand Duke Jingyue Aili, Qige said with envy.

I secretly thought that if the young Baron Kai hadn't planned the coup d'état, with the resources in his hands, he could easily get merit in Sloit, maybe he would have been promoted to earl by now, and maybe even become a marquis, but unfortunately just because of his paranoia, he buried so many elite divisions in the province of Shi, and the rebellion in the early spring three years ago also made the North Wind Legion very demoralized, which is probably the real reason why the North Wind Legion has been unable to take care of various remote towns in recent years.

That Baron Kai, who wants to prove his ability, I wonder if he will regret it after death?

"Why did you react like that yesterday?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Huh?" said Kiger, frowning at me, her curved eyebrows twisted under her white forehead, like a huge question mark drawn on her immaculate face.

I complained angrily, "Hold my ears and drag me back to your lab all the way, do you think I'm a rabbit?

"Hehe, at that time, when I first saw you, I thought my eyes were hallucinating!" said Kig with a sly smile.

She put her hands on her cheeks, turned her head to look out the window, looked at the sparkling lake, and said: "That's it, before, I always wanted to look forward to the day when you can suddenly appear in front of me wearing a gorgeous magic robe and holding a thick magic book, according to our agreement." I know that you are born with a talent for magic, and your mental power is much stronger than that of ordinary people, as long as you participate in the awakening ceremony, you will definitely become a magician, but you have been waiting for you for so long, and you have never fulfilled your promise. ”

"Later, Caterina waited until she was twenty-five years old, and you didn't show up. Kig sighed, her eyes filled with memories of the past.

"Then me, I said that I would wait for you, so I naturally had to hold on, but later, under various offensives, I still compromised and accepted my fate, I thought that this life would be so plain, marry a prince, become a princess, and then between the palace and the Magic Research Institute, two points and one line of quiet life. With a self-deprecating smile on his face, Qige lowered his head and exhaled softly, lowered his eyelids and said, "Who knew that you would appear in front of me again at this time!"

Kige's eyes lit up, and he blinked, turned his head to stare at me and said, "You're not going to disappear in front of my eyes all of a sudden." ”

I protested: "Hey, I have lived in El City for five years before I can get the right of residence in El City, become an official citizen of El City, and have the qualifications to participate in the Magic Awakening, according to the normal rate, it will take at least next spring before I can have a chance to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Magic, and now I appear in the imperial capital, which is already a year ahead......"

Then we talked about Katerina, and we heard from Kig that she was already a lieutenant in the swordsman battalion, and I don't know how she got over the years.

"I sometimes send her some magic potions such as healing potions, strength potions, and troll power potions!" Qige proudly boasted to me about how good the magic potions he had configured, and said to me with a smile: "I still have a lot of ideas in the preparation of magic ink that have not been realized, but unfortunately no one in the entire magic academy is willing to try the magic ink I made, you can be my assistant!"

Hearing her words, my spine was cold, but I couldn't refuse her invitation, which reminded me that she would always be ingenious in the wasteland, and when she drew the simplest fire-gathering scroll, she would always be blown up all over her body, and if I didn't have the ability to heal myself, I don't know how many times I would have been killed by her.

I said to my heart: your reckless way of concocting magic potions, how dare those magicians who draw scrolls use the magic ink you have concocted!

Under her eager gaze, I agreed, but I told Kig that I was working as an assistant to the Yerkes scholars, and that I would try to try out the inks she had made at my leisure, and Kig readily agreed.

"And then, how did you join the Academy of Magic?......?"

"I guess you're not just using a 'Gathering Fire' scroll to improve the recipe of the ink it needs, so that the Imperial Capital's advanced magic research institute can open its doors to you?......" I asked Kige.

Kig smiled and explained, "Of course it's more than that......

With Kige by his side, the hands of time flicked forward imperceptibly......
