Chapter 11: The Parting Moment
Edwin smiled when he woke up in the morning and saw a few scrolls on the table,
"The results of the night were not in vain, and there was no sign of the loss of magic runes, and the suppression of the loss of magic by ancient magic was still very effective. He got dressed and left the room and knocked on Rudolph's room door.
"Not awake yet?"
"Who said I wasn't awake. Edwin turned his head to find Rudolph right behind him.
"Today, the magicians from the counties are almost here. ”
"Teacher, where have you been?" Edwin looked at him suspiciously.
"I ...... I went out. Rudolph replied with some hesitation.
"Are you going to see Clara's teacher? Edwin had a look on his face that I understood.
"How old are you, what do you know? Rudolph didn't bother to dwell on him.
"Okay, okay, teacher, pay more attention to your body, I'm out. ”
As soon as Edwin reached the door, he saw Charnes and Clara.
"Why did you come to me?"
Charnes came up and put his arms around Edwin,
"I miss you so much. ”
"You let go of me. Edwin was uncomfortable with this kind of warm way of meeting.
"After all, it's a team, so let's get familiar with it first. Clara was still smiling as she was every day.
"This afternoon, the magicians of Venloche will arrive, and we will enter Edormana to-morrow. ”
"Does Edormana have a map?" asked Edwin.
"Never, it's a secret city, a place left by the gods. There are a lot of mages who die unexpectedly in each assessment. Clara's eyes darkened as she spoke.
"Let's stop talking about that, let's go, let's go and see the Wizard Academy together. The magician's robes of the three stood out in the streets, and all sorts of shouts filled the ears, and people in different costumes passed by.
Edwin looked up and couldn't see the end of the street, "Do you know the grave keeper?" Edwin suddenly asked the two of them.
Charnes pondered for a moment, then said,
"I've heard my teacher say that the Grave Keepers are a group of unfortunate people who have been guarding the grave for generations, and their bloodline is a little different from ours, and their affinity for necromantic magic is higher than that of ordinary people. ”
"That's it. Edwin fell into deep thought, just following the two of them.
He had already seen the awakening of his bloodline, the demon-like horns, the fleshy wings, and the ever-spreading icy aura.
"Why didn't Edwin speak, it was almost there. Clara asked, looking at him for a long time without speaking.
"Aang, is it?" Edwin looked up and smiled.
After passing through the bustling streets, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Academy of Magic, some of the old bronze gates told the history of the academy, and Edwin felt like he was being watched as he walked through the gates.
"This gate ...... It's kind of weird. When Edwin looked back at the gate, he saw that it had become so radiant that even the gold dust on the door looked like it had just been plated.
"This ......"
"If you look at it from one side, it's just a dilapidated bronze door, isn't it?" Abel walked slowly toward Edwin.
"Mr. Abel, why are you here?"
"In the evening all the magicians have to come here to listen to the speech of the Prime Minister, and I will come and see it in advance. ”
At the same time, a middle-aged magician passed by here and was about to say "school ......" but he stopped it with his eyes and forcibly changed it.
"The school gate is still so philosophical, sir. With that, he walked out quickly.
Abel gave him a satisfied look, smiled and nodded, while the three Edwin were a little confused.
This person...... Currying favor with the school gates?
"Why are you three little ones here?" Abel looked at them with a smile.
"We also came over in advance to take a look. Charnes said.
"Then you can just go around. Abel said and left.
"Let's go. I've heard that there are many mysteries of the Wizard Academy. Charnes walked forward, and Edwin looked back at the door, feeling that he was overtracted, and followed Charnes.
After the three of them left, Abel suddenly appeared in front of the door with a smile, "Mikael, that little guy has noticed you, do you say that he will be surprised by then." ”
"He's the son of the devil in your mouth?" suddenly appeared on the door with an old human face.
"Well, what do you think?"
"That's it, what happens to him in the future has nothing to do with me. The face seemed tired, and slowly sank into the door.
"There are four academies in the Wizard Academy, the Academy of Life, the Academy of Alchemy, the Academy of the Undead, and the Academy of Elements. Charnes looked at the buildings around him and talked eloquently.
"Space-time magic is too profound. And the space-time mage itself has been called an assassin among magicians, too few, so it is offered as an elective. Clara looked at these with a sense of intoxication.
The high stone walls are covered with old vines, and the sparse green leaves are dotted with scattered flowers. In the square in the center of the academy is a statue of the first rector, Nimitz, lush trees and castle-like school buildings, and a long lantern that will be supplied by magic to light up the night. Semicircular arches, glass decorated with colorful patterns, and towering minarets draw the eye to the sky.
There are often milky white statues on the eaves of teaching buildings or dormitory buildings, and if you don't pay attention, you may move to a different position.
"It's not that big from the outside. Charnes sighed.
"It's really beautiful. "Clara was at the fountain of the Academy, in the pool there was a huge statue of a god driving his chariot, surrounded by statues of various races, and under the chariot was a hot lava, and even the water of the fountain was boiling hot.
"Have you seen enough?"
"Why don't you look at us?" asked the statue next to Edwin.
"I ...... Not interested. ”
Clara and Charnes found Edwin standing nearby, uninterested in any of this.
"Come on, Edwin, I'm going to see it today, we'll probably be here together in the future. Charnes pulled him over with a helpless expression.
"Okay, okay. He was supposed to familiarize himself with it in advance, and was dragged down the academy by Charnes.
At lunch, I bought a few pieces of bread directly from the bakery near the college and solved it. As the evening approached, the number of magicians in the academy gradually increased.
"So many magicians. "The bustling crowd, the magicians of the thirteen counties have gathered here. Edwin saw Rudolph come in and walked over consciously.
"Teacher. ”
"It's really not the same here. Rudolph looked at this with some nostalgia,
"I studied magic here when I was younger, and my teacher was a dean, and I didn't believe you asked about that statue over there, I took off his arm and installed it. Rudolph pointed to the milky white statue over there, and Edwin looked over and saw that the statue was motionless, but his eyes were still rolling.
"Teacher, you're a big deterrent. Edwin chuckled.
"The Prime Minister will be here in a moment. Rudolph and he walked into the academy's auditorium and sat down in a corner.
The prime minister arrived as promised, a middle-aged man who looked very personable, wearing a top hat and walking in with a cane.
"Everyone. When the prime minister stood on the stage and said these two words, the audience instantly fell silent.
"Commissioned by His Majesty the King, I am here to deliver a brief message for this mage examination in our Kingdom of Santa Andrea. Before I talk about assessments, I want to talk about what happened recently. Our country is more prosperous than it was a decade ago, but at the same time, there are some crises that are testing us. Our territory has been violated, our people have been harmed, and our national rights and interests have not been protected!" The Prime Minister cleared his throat,
"These crises are forcing us to keep improving, to fight for the belief that we will not give up an inch of land, and to fight for the defense of the majesty of His Majesty the King and the glory of the Kingdom!"
"So what do we need? We need good hunters, good knights, and good magicians. As we all know, the great gods left a secret realm in the kingdom, which is also the only secret realm among the three human kingdoms, which is a powerful capital and a source of power for the enemy's invasion. ”
"And tomorrow, the younger generation of magicians will set foot in that divine realm. We also have reason to believe that these children will become a sword in the hands of His Majesty the King in the future, and they will also be the pride of the Kingdom of Sant'Andrea!
"That's a good point. Edwin was a little enthusiastic.
"Don't get carried away by the blood. ”
After the Prime Minister's speech, the opening of the examination will almost end, and the examination will begin at the Tower of Babel.
Edwin and Rudolph walked on the night road back,
"Teacher, are you leaving?"
"Well, it's coming soon, it's much easier for me to send you away, and I can go back to Hall City to continue my simple life. ”
"You're talking angrily again. Edwin looked at the teacher, who had more white temples and less black, and didn't know what to say.
Speechless all the way......
When the two arrived at the door of their respective rooms, Rudolph suddenly spoke,
"Don't embarrass me when you get there, I have only one goal for you, the top ten. He threw out the words, leaving Edwin, a somewhat dazed, and walked into the room.
Late at night, Edwin's room.
Rudolph suddenly appeared in his room,
"Edwin, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to the Tower of Babel tomorrow. Looking at Edwin who was sleeping soundly on the bed, he whispered, sighed again, left a note on the table, and when he left, he said silently,
"I'm probably not a great teacher. Then he disappeared into the night in his robes and wand.
Edwin had been leaning sideways to tense his body, and he bit his lip hard.
Don't cry!
Sensing that Rudolph should disappear, he stood up and opened the note on the table, but Edwin couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
There is only one sentence - you will always be my best student.
