Chapter 173: Provocation
The blonde girl named Alice is the pride of the town and the only person who has been able to practice magic for a hundred years. Although she was only an apprentice in magic, once she embarked on this path, she was out of the realm of mortals and had a bright future ahead of her.
She was pretentious, and even though her father was the richest Hank man in town, she still felt that she was from a humble background, like a beautiful canary born in a hen's nest.
She desperately wanted to leave this wild and backward town, and this longing lasted for eighteen years, and today she finally got her wish.
Tomorrow is the day of enrollment at the St. Byron Academy of Magic, and she is ready to try her luck, once she becomes a student of St. Byron, she will be a nobleman, not referring to the nobles in the border towns, but the nobles of the entire Montechi continent.
St. Byron's School of Magic is thousands of miles away in the city of Famagus, which is one of the top five big cities in the mainland, prosperous and powerful, and Alice has always dreamed of visiting it.
For this reason, Lord Hank specially spent a lot of money to hire a flaming eagle, this domesticated magical beast is best suited for long journeys, can fly thousands of miles a day, and can carry up to four people.
When the time came to set sail, Alice walked out with cheerful steps, surrounded by her family and servants.
As she passed by the firewood room, she heard several people talking, and it seemed that there was a magician hiding there.
Intrigued, she pushed the door open and saw Uncle Sam, Gabriel, and a strange man.
"Who are you?" She looked at him and asked.
"Hello, my name is Wei Liang."
Gabriel added, "Miss Alice, he's a powerful magician. β
"Oh?" Alice smiled faintly, her eyes teased, the layman looked at the excitement, the insider looked at the doorway, she did not feel the magic fluctuations on Wei Liang, it was obvious that this was not a magician, but a liar.
She was in a good mood today, and she didn't want to embarrass this little role, so she smiled and prepared to leave.
"Miss, please wait." Wei Liang snorted softly.
Alice paused, but didn't look back.
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Do you know where there is the Purple Yao Magic Stone?" β
"I don't know." Alice said this lightly, and then walked out the door.
The Purple Magic Stone was a cherished magical item that she had seen in books, but she didn't bother to explain.
Wei Liang shrugged, feeling that this task was full of malice. First, they were teleported to the dangerous Black Forest, where they finally met people, and they were all a bunch of short-sighted guys who couldn't provide valuable information at all.
He decided to get a map, go to the nearby big cities, and return to the Crimson Tower if he didn't have a clue. He really didn't have a good idea of this damn world.
"Gabriel, do you have a map?"
"I'm sorry, Master Magician, I don't have that kind of thing, Master Hank probably does."
"Take me to him."
Gabriel whispered, "Are you leaving?" β
Wei Liang nodded and said, "I have to try my luck in a nearby big city." β
Gabriel had a flash of inspiration: "Miss Alice is going to the city of Famagus today, maybe you can take a ride, there are many big people there, you will definitely get valuable information." β
The naΓ―ve Gabriel still did not doubt his identity as a magician, and enthusiastically carried it up. When he said this, his eyes flashed with longing, and if he could, he would also like to be able to leave the place where birds don't and see the wider world, but not everyone can take a trip that says go. Alice is Bai Fumei, backed by her father's funds, and as for Gabriel, she is not even a poor **silk.
If nothing else, he will be nested here for the rest of his life, with no way out, no hope, immersed in bitterness during the day, sleeping in the pyre at night, and if he is lucky enough, he can marry an ugly and stupid maid, and fulfill the duty of passing on the lineage.
Wei Liang thinks that Gabriel's mention yì is good, and it is best for someone to piggyback, after all, the paper map is far less easy to use than the Baidu map, and if it flies off, it will be a series of troubles.
He strode in front of the magical girl, and said with a smile: "Miss Alice, I heard that you are going to that ......"
He paused and looked at Gabriel.
The young man said, "Famagus City." β
"Yes, Famagus." Wei Liang said softly: "Can you give me a ride?" β
Alice was a little impatient, and said lightly, "Sam, do something." β
Uncle Sam understood what Miss meant, and this was an eviction order. He is a notoriously rough man in the town, and he fights when he disagrees, and he has already been taken out if he is an ordinary person. But in the face of this black-haired youth, he was a little bottomless.
The other party may be a wounded magician, and he doesn't want to provoke it.
Gabriel realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly glanced at the young lady, and said in a low voice: "Miss Alice, the other party is a noble magician, don't you think about it anymore?" β
Alice glanced at the stupid servant and mocked, "How do you know he's a magician?" β
Gabriel said: "He is a big man who came out of the Black Forest, except for the magician, who can come out of it alive?" β
Alice was surprised, and finally began to look at Wei Liang squarely, but she couldn't find the slightest trace of the characteristics of a magician when she looked horizontally and vertically. But after thinking about it, this guy must have some ability to kill him out of the Black Forest, and maybe he should be a favor.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Come with me." β
Daddy Hank was waiting outside with a group of servants, and was alerted when he saw his precious girl followed by a strange man. If that man is a nobleman, it would be fine, but no matter the clothes or temperament, it shows that this is a commoner, and he is also a strangely dressed commoner, he doesn't want his beloved daughter to be hooked up with by the gangsters in the market, so as to stage a bloody plot of elopement, frowning and asking: "Who is this?" β
Alice said, "Gabriel's friend." β
"Gabriel?" Daddy Hank thought for a while, and then remembered that inconspicuous servant, the so-called people are divided into groups, he naturally divided Wei Liang into the ranks of inferior people, and said unhappily: "What does this friend of yours do?" β
Gabriel replied, "Lord Hank, he is not my friend, but a noble magician. β
Old Man Hank was not easy to fool, his fat face was full of suspicion, and he said, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, I have never seen such a raunchy magician. β
Wei Liang didn't want to waste time, he opened his palm, and the blue demon could spit, emitting a ghostly light, and smiled: "Do you believe it now?" β
Daddy Hank was stunned for a moment, and then he put on a smiling face, which changed faster than a book.
Alice frowned, this was by no means a straightforward magic, but another strange ability, as for what it was, she didn't know.
Wei Liang asked, "Can we go?" β
"I'm afraid not." A sturdy young man jumped down from the Flaming Eagle and looked at Wei Liang indifferently. His name is Adam, and he is the best martial artist in town, and this time he took Hank's father's money and was responsible for keeping the magical girl safe. He has always admired Alice, but the proud canary did not give him a chance, and now that he has the opportunity to be alone, Wei Liang has a sideways stick, which is really unpleasant.
Wei Liang looked at him indifferently, still with a smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly cold.
"When I was a mercenary, I saw real magicians, and the spells they cast were enough to break gold and stone." Adam crossed his arms and said disdainfully: "As for your flame of light, it's just a lame magic trick in the circus, you can fool others, but you can't fool me." Say, what is your motivation for approaching Miss Alice? β
"Don't talk nonsense." Gabriel argued for Wei Liang. He was a cowardly man, not by nature, but forged by impoverished circumstances. In his heart, Adam is the first macho man in the town, tearing the tiger alive, killing the bear with his bare hands and other deeds are widely spread, in normal times, he does not dare to contradict him with three guts, but now seeing that the magician is slandered, he has a courage, and said: "This is a real magician, I can guarantee it." β
"Who are you going to vouch for him?" Adam sneered, didn't look at him at all, looked directly at Wei Liang, and said provocatively: "If you want to step on the back of the Flaming Eagle, you have to pass my level first." Let everyone see if you are genuine or indiscriminate. β
