Xiao Qi, as usual, came to Noel's house early every day, and was ridiculed by Erin because of this, so Xiao Qi should be his godson!

Noel motioned for Xiao Qi to speak quietly, pointed to Mars's door, and said silently with his mouth: "It's here!"

What? What? Who is coming? Xiao Qi was stunned. Noel held his forehead in shame and continued to say silently: "Signal!

"Oh!!" Xiao Qi suddenly sighed, startled Noel and quickly covered his mouth. Xiao Qi scratched his head embarrassedly. After confirming that no one would come to the door again, the two brothers found a corner and sat down.

"Noel, how's your injury?"

"I feel like I'm much better. After Noel finished speaking, in order to confirm that what he said was true, he waved his arm at Xiao Qi a few times. Seeing Noor's lively appearance, Xiao Qi was also a lot more relieved.

Knoll looked at his bandaged hands, his face shattered.

"But we missed the farewell ceremony. ”

Xiao Qi looked at Noor's lost face and didn't know what to say. He always knew how much Knoll had paid for this assessment. Although you can still take the Imperial Academy's assessment next year, at that time, Noll is already over twelve years old, and the difficulty of over-age examiners will be much higher than that of the regular age, which is the rule set by the Imperial Academy.

"And after this incident, my mother seemed so frightened that I didn't even dare to mention that I wanted to go to the test. Besides, they have already followed the caravan on their way, and you and I can't go to the town. ”

Xiao Qi clutched the corners of his clothes tightly, and guilt filled his heart.

"Maybe there's a way?"

Recalling the gray hair on Erin's head, Knoll shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want my mother to be sad for me anymore." Although he said this, the helplessness in his tone and the unwillingness in his eyes, how could Xiao Qi not feel it.

"If you don't mind, I can send you there. ”

At some point, Yuna had already walked out with Mars in her arms, and the two immediately got up.

"Hello!?" Noel and Xiao Qi looked surprised by Mars, this man who was still dead yesterday, can now barely stand up and walk!

"That's a must! You don't look at who I am! Well, now you know how powerful I am! Don't you worship me very much! Of course, you can worship, I don't accept apprentices!"

Mars wanted to say something, but Yuna slapped him in the chest, and he let out a whimper in pain, so he didn't continue. Although the wound is healed, it is still a little painful after all.

"Yuna, you're so ruthless! I'm not your cutie anymore!" Mars curled up in his chair and looked at Yuna with a grim expression. Yuna didn't buy it, and snorted: "Who told you to start talking nonsense again!"

The corners of Noel's mouth twitched, and Xiao Qi tried to hold back a smile. "I'm not going to admit this guy is Mars!" Knoll thought to himself.

Yuna straightened her face and continued, "Thank you very much for saving Mars, if you want, Mars and I can send you to the Imperial Academy assessment center in Covey City." ”

"Really!" Noel looked at Yuna with glowing eyes, and when he saw Yuna's affirmative nod, he instantly ignited a full of hope.

......

In the evening, John and Erin returned. During this time, they were too worried about Noor's condition, so both of them got off work very early.

As soon as the two entered the door, they were shocked by the sight in front of them, the half-dead man, who was now nestled in front of the fireplace, drinking hot goat's milk with a look of enjoyment. Noel and Xiao Qi were listening to Yuna's adventure stories and had a great time.

Noir immediately greeted her parents, and Yuna and Mars politely stood up and nodded.

"Father, mother. You're back!" John smiled and patted Noll on the head, and whispered, "You have a good treat for the magician!" Noel nodded, looked at his parents, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" said Erin, looking at Knoll tenderly.

"Mother... I..."

"You still want to take the Imperial Exam, right?" John said first. Noel was startled, and hurriedly quietly looked at Erin's face, only to see a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"You are my child, what do you think in your heart, can your mother not know?" Irene gently hugged Noel in her arms, tears streaming down her face. "Mother is just worried about you. The caravan bound for the city has already set off, and the road is difficult, how do you get there?"

"Don't worry, Madame, thank you so much for taking care of Mars during this time. If you are willing to believe me, I promise to send Ling Lang to the assessment point safely. We'll be able to go tomorrow. Yuna said with a smile as she looked at Erin.

"It's probably all predestined. John sighed, went into the back room, and took out a long parchment roll. Spread out the layers of parchment, and inside were two great swords.

John took out one of them and gave it to Xiao Qi on the side. "Xiao Qi, this is yours. Xiao Qi was flattered and took it, this is a real sword!

The remaining one, slightly shorter than a regular broadsword, could be seen on the hilt with a few words inscribed: NOER. Exactly the name of Knoll.

"I've been building this sword since the moment you were born. At that time, I was thinking, my John's child, must be brave enough to go out and have a good time..."

Knoll took the sword with trembling hands, his heart was so excited that his eyes gradually moistened.

Yuna and Mars couldn't help but be a little moved when they watched this scene. Although that sword is just an ordinary big sword and the material is the most ordinary, it carries too much love.

"Without further ado, you can set off with the two adults tomorrow. John looked at Noel and Xiao Qi and sighed: "Xiao Qi, you also hurry home and go and get ready." Xiao Qi nodded, patted Noel on the shoulder, and immediately rushed home.

"I'll clean up for you. Erin covered her face and hurried up to the attic. Noll wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by John: "It's okay, she's just worried about you." ”

"Mother..."

--------------------

The next morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, there were already many people standing at the exit of the town, it was the Philip family and the John's family. After last night's deliberations, everyone unanimously decided not to disturb the townspeople, so the two families set off early to see off the two children at the exit of the town.

"Go for it. Don't forget to write when you arrive. Philip looked at his youngest son with great worry. Xiao Qi has a cowardly personality, although he is a little clever, but after all, he is worried. "Noor, Xiao Qi will ask you. Philip looked at Knoll sincerely.

"Don't worry, Uncle Philip, Father, Mother, take care of yourselves. I'm leaving. ”

"Well, since you've taken this step, don't hesitate to go ahead. After John finished speaking, he solemnly bowed to Yuna and Mars: "Please, two adults!"

"Don't worry. ”

.......

Looking at Noel's back as she drifted away, Erin, who had not spoken all this time, couldn't help it after all, and tears came out of her eyes.....
