Chapter 50: A New Journey Under the Night
Ziano and Neo chatted for a while, and one of the family's guards came up to talk to Chiano, so Ziano got up and left, leaving Neo alone to watch the sun go down until the sky was dyed with her favorite color by the Night Lady.
"Waiting for whom?" That little bastard from Friel came to the castle wall with a group of henchmen, and said to Neo with a mocking expression, "Are you still waiting for the person from the academy who doesn't have zài to pick you up?" Ha ha! Don't be silly! ”
Friel pointed his thumb at himself and exclaimed, "It's just me!" I'm the only one in my generation who has the gift of a noble magician, and a like you wants to become a magician? I really laughed at it! ”
Friel and his henchmen burst out laughing.
If it was the original Neo, he would probably be very angry and eager to draw his sword and fight to the death with Friel, but after the baptism of Ziano's story just now, Neo's mentality has become different, and looking at Friel's gaze is like looking at a clown.
Neo got up and was about to leave the castle walls.
"Stop!" Friel obviously didn't want to let Neo go, and waved his hand to stop Neo, "Do you think you can fool me if you fool others?" Today, I will teach you a good lesson as the scum of the family who deceives the clansmen, and I guess my grandfather will not scold me! ”
Obviously, Qiē is just an excuse, and Friel just looks at Neo unpleasantly and wants to teach Neo a lesson.
No matter where he is, there will always be opportunistic elements, and for Friel, who has an official first-order magician father and is the only person in the family with the talent of a magician, there is never a shortage of doglegs who want to pat him on the back.
The people who stopped Neo were all members of the guards, these people were under the control of the captain of the family's guards, and they had no affiliation with the chief knight of Ziano, even if they beat Neo, presumably Ziano would not be able to help Neo.
And the chief of the guard has always been the one who has been co-opted by Neo's second uncle, and he will not stand up for Neo.
Moreover, bothering Ziano because of the matter of the Academy of Magic has already made Neo ashamed enough, so Neo didn't talk nonsense anymore, directly drew his sword, and made a standard knight's foot combat posture.
"Yo! How dare you draw your sword? Friel chuckled, "But it doesn't help!" ”
This really didn't work, because Neo was facing the family's guards, and they were at least first-order warriors, and Neo, a knight apprentice who wasn't even a trainee knight, couldn't be their opponent at all.
However, as long as you still have a sword in your hand, or even if you can move, then you can continue to fight!
I just learned this from Mentor Ziano!
Just when Neo was about to strike first and make a breakthrough in the encirclement, a melodious long sound suddenly sounded from the sky.
"Whew!"
With the roar of a whistle, a steam train passed through the spatial barriers, returned from the void to the real world, streaked across the sky, and skimmed the distant sky.
At this time, night had just fallen, and the stars in the sky had not yet been able to illuminate their brilliance in time, and the sudden appearance of the steam train was like a beam of light.
In Neo's eyes, the lighted train is as beautiful at night as a parade of floats during a celebration.
The train was so fast that it had just appeared in the sight of everyone on the city wall, and then it crossed the sky and disappeared under the curtain of night.
"Just ...... What is that? One of the guards said.
"I don't know......," the other guard replied.
Freel was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said to the group of doglegs who surrounded Neo, "What are you doing? Don't hurry up yet! ”
As soon as Friel's words fell, another whistle echoed between heaven and earth, this time not as melodious as before, but closer and closer.
Crash!
In the distant woods, the leaves swayed in all directions by the air currents driven by the speeding train, colliding with each other and making a loud sound. A train rushed out of the forest not far from the castle and reappeared in everyone's sight.
Obviously, such a behemoth would knock down a large number of trees when it rushed out of the forest, but the part where the train and the trees in the dense forest touched seemed to dissolve into nothingness, and it turned into blue light and passed through the trees.
The train roared, and the wind lowered the green grass on both sides, and then, for a long time, the train began to slow down, and finally came to a steady halt not far from the castle gates.
While! While! While!
The bell rang in the castle, and Neo took the opportunity to break free from the guards and run towards the meeting place.
Friel and the doglegs stayed at the head of the city, watching in shock at the approaching train.
Arriving at the meeting place, the rest of the knights were already ready. The chief knight of Ziano threw him a shield and said, "Without your armor, use this shield!" ”
Neo and the chief knight got on their horses and came to the castle gate, where they found that their two uncles had already been here, and that the old Viscount Droz was also here.
Sensing Neo's arrival, the old viscount gave him a deep look and waved.
So the assembled guards and knights escorted the old Viscount Drow and others out of the gate of the castle. Not far from the train, the people in the line looked at the train curiously.
[Looks like a magical creation...... Viscount Dro thought.
The train was so long that only a few carriages could be seen in the open field in front of the castle gates, and Neo sat on his horse, looking at the beast-like steam magic train with some curiosity, and the uncertain conjecture in his mind made him nervous.
Syllable!
The door of one of the train's carriages opened, and a beautiful girl wearing a white-edged magic robe revealed her pretty face from the train, holding a board with paper in her hand and an hourglass floating beside her.
"Oh, it's beautiful! How nice it would be if I could marry her! Friel, who was hiding in the city, saw the beautiful girl, and his eyes were straight, "But who is she?" And what is the steel monster that makes the sound? ”
"Uh...... I think ......," one of the guards whispered, "that young lady is supposed to be a magician, so ......"
"Huh?"
"So, could it be the 'St. Pharos Academy' that has been rumored to be fierce these days?"
"St. Phalos College?" Friel's face changed, and he slapped the guard on the head, "Impossible!" My father is the only one in our family who is magically gifted! That? No way! ”
"Yes, yes...... Of course, maybe it's not Neo's! Dogleg hurriedly agreed.
In front of the castle, I didn't see the beautiful girl do anything, and when I stepped forward, a translucent staircase with a light blue light appeared in front of the door, filling the height difference between the door of the carriage and the earth.
With her feet on the ground, the spontaneous beautiful girl said in a crisp and soft voice to Viscount Derot who was not far away: "Hello old man, may I ask where this is...... Uh......"
Liya looked down at the list in her hand, and then said, "...... Is this the family castle of the Fipos family of the Silver Deer Collar in the Kingdom of Pias in the Western Continent? ”
Droz looked at Liya and the steam locomotive behind her, nodded in her eyes, and said, "Not bad! You are ......"
"Hello, I'm a student at St. Pharos Academy, Lea Elialos! I took the liberty to interrupt this time for the sake of Neo Fapos, I don't know, is that Neo? Liya first gave a mage salute to the old viscount, and then asked slowly.
"Oh......"
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Neo.
It turns out that Neo is not lying, there really is the so-called St. Pharos Academy!
"How so?"
The mouth of Friel on the wall opened into an O-shape, and the doglegs were also shocked.
Neo suddenly received everyone's attention, but he was not particularly flustered, but his face was a little red, but he quickly calmed down a lot, and Ziano on the side nodded secretly.
"Boy! Call you! Ziano patted Neo on the back, "Let's go!" ”
Neo looked at Viscount Dro and saw that he was waving to him, so he rode out of the queue and came to Viscount Dro's side with Ziano.
Viscount Dro pulled Neo off his horse, pointed at Neo and said, "This is Neo, Neo Fipos!" ”
Neo felt Viscount Dro's hand tremble a little as he pulled his hand, which made Neo feel a little strange, but Lea's voice quickly drew his attention.
"Hello, Neo, you have a lot of talent as a magician, would you like to join our St. Pharos Academy and learn how to be a good magician?"
Neo looked back at Ziano, who was still on horseback, and saw that the latter was looking at him with a smile.
So Neo nodded and said, "I do!" ”
"Good!" Liya put a big tick in front of Neo's name on the form, and then said, "You're the last student we're going to pick up, how about you, do you have anything to bring?" We can help you clean up. Of course, you don't need clothes, and you can wear college uniforms when you arrive at the college. ”
As Liya spoke, a puff beast appeared beside Liya after a puff of green smoke, which surprised everyone again.
Neo thought for a moment, put down his shield, then raised the sword in his hand and asked, "Then there is nothing, but can you take this sword with you?" ”
"Absolutely!" Liya smiled softly, "So do you have any goodbye to your family?" ”
Neo turned back to Ziano and said, "Mentor, I'm going to learn magic, but I'll always remember what you taught. ”
"Humph! Don't forget! Ziano nodded sternly.
"If that's it, then get in the car!" Lea stepped aside and motioned for Neo to get in the car.
Neo stepped onto the train and couldn't help but look back to see Ziano smiling and raising his sword at him.
So, Neo also raised the sword in his hand in response.
The train closed its doors and the wheels began to roll again, moving forward, rising into the air, and finally disappearing into the night.
"I didn't expect it to be such a story, right? Lord Viscount? Ziano whispered to Dro on the side.
"Yes, who would have thought that......" Viscount Drow's voice trembled, a little hoarse.
