The main city of Saklan

The noisy streets make people can't help but enjoy the bustling atmosphere, the hawkers are loud, the shiny glass windows are full of goods, and the aroma of food fills the street from the street to the end of the street.

The most distinctive feature is that magic has completely infiltrated the lives of ordinary residents of Saklan, and not only magicians here use magic, but ordinary people also use items in place of magic.

The magic sound transmission stone used for communication greatly narrows the distance between people. The recording stone of the phonogram video can not only leave sound, but also record the image. The fire element stone used for cooking, the earth element stone used to strengthen the house, and all kinds of magic products have quietly entered the lives of ordinary people.

This legendary magic city shows her charm to the world in the most perfect posture.

In a shop called "Hodder's Tavern", in the corner by the window sits a mysterious man shrouded in black robes.

"Sir, your beer has arrived, do you need any more service?" The waiter in the tavern asked professionally, the people who came to the tavern as waiters have good professionalism, judging from the dress of the black-robed man, he should be a lonely and lonely man.

Most of the taverns have four seats, a few have six, and only the corners of the walls on both sides have two seats. Today's business is particularly good for some reason, and groups of people fill up the space. There was only one seat opposite the black-robed man, probably because he was afraid of the black-robed man's gloomy appearance, and no one went to share the table by asking for hardship.

"Thank you" An ethereal voice came from under the black robe, and then a hand was stretched out in front of the waiter.

The waiter froze, this hand was white and delicate, the ten fingers were slender and slender, except for a little white unreal, there was no trace of other defects, like a strange flower that had been carefully cultivated.

"Oh, oh," the waiter took the gold coin from the palm of the black-robed man's hand.

There are three types of coins across the continent, the highest being gold, then silver, and finally copper. The conversion is based on 100 as a unit, and the income of ordinary people is about 30 silver coins, that is, more than 3,000 copper coins.

The waiter's monthly salary was only thirty silver coins, and a glass of wine was only eight copper coins, and he received a gold coin, which was worth three months' salary......

"Isn't it enough?" The black-robed man asked suspiciously, she hadn't spent money before, she had no concept of money, and when she saw the waiter's somewhat abnormal appearance, she naturally felt a little weak.

"Is that enough?"

More than a dozen gold coins were shining in the sun, reflecting the dazzling golden light.

"No, no, no, enough is enough, enough is enough," the waiter said incoherently, taking change from his pocket and placing it on the table.

"What is this?" The thick eyelashes under the black robe fluttered.

"Find your change" the waiter said speechlessly, it really wasn't meant to tease him.

"I don't have much space on my body, so please help me dispose of it, thank you" The black-robed man brushed the coin aside, picked up the wheat wine in both hands, and took a few sips.

A little farce of the black-robed man and the waiter. Apparently looked at by a few people with ulterior motives. There is greed, inquiry, and curiosity in the gaze cast on. The black-robed man was like a big piece of fat thrown into the deep forest, stared at viciously by the beast that sharpened his knife. Cold sweat rose on the back of the black-robed man at some point, and this feeling was her instinctive reaction when she encountered danger. The black-robed man didn't know when she provoked them, maybe she was too ostentatious? Or is it the custom here that does not tolerate the rejection of someone else's change?

The black-robed man didn't do anything, he gently put down the wheat wine, retracted his hand into his sleeve, and sat down obediently, minimizing his sense of existence, for fear of angering others for some unknown reason.

The black-robed man stayed in the tavern a little longer, and only got up to leave when there were almost a few people left. During this time, she also heard what she wanted.

Later, she knew that she had escaped, and during the selection period of the Magic Academy, the security of Saklan was of the highest standard, even if the princes and nobles dared to make trouble, they would be dealt with strongly.

Three days later, at noon, the black-robed man came to the central square. She seemed to have arrived a little late, and the most central position was already surrounded by the crowd, and she could only see the innermost situation through the crowded gap.

Each of the nine magic tables has a crystal ball. At one o'clock in the afternoon, a magnificent and cool magic array suddenly appeared in the air, and then nine magicians of different forms appeared, wearing the same blue robes, and walked straight to their respective magic tables after going down to the ground, and the crowds around them all subconsciously avoided opening a smooth passage.

"Ah, I'm sorry to step on you," shouted the yellow-haired Lori with some freckles on her face.

But when she turned around, she only saw a black robe on the ground that no one wanted, and she muttered, "It's so strange, could it be that I stepped on this robe, but I feel that something is missing..."

The girl who ran to the side, covered her beating heart in a panic, she escaped another emergency, if she didn't run away, how embarrassing it would be.

The girl has white and shiny skin, the iconic black hair and black eyes, a delicate and supple baby face, and a gothic-style puffy skirt, isn't this Pandora, and now she seems to have escaped from the territory of Gulat.

Pandora came to Sacra for the simple purpose of seeking refuge. Listening to the passers-by on the street, as long as you can become a student of the Academy of Magic, no force will dare to blatantly harm you, and it is completely safe within the scope of the academy.

The nine magic tables all spontaneously formed nine squads, and Pandora found the team with the longest number of people and stood silently at the back. Unexpectedly, even the longest queue would have someone cut the line, and the person who cut the line glanced at Pandora with contempt, as if to say "you know" again, and Pandora left the line without saying a word, and stood in the last position again. There are some bold people who seem to see a shortcut and take Pandora's position for nothing, and Pandora will return to the last position in order not to cause strife.

Finally, someone couldn't help it.

"Or not a man? Do you know how to bully a little girl? Do you want face? Come, the little girl stood in front and did not dare to bully you. I'll see who dares not to give me a stone spear face," the burly man in the crowd pulled the first person to the ground, then turned to Pandora and smiled.

Pandora politely bows to the stone spear, a 90-degree bow that expresses the highest level of gratitude. Then she obediently stood at the front of the team, she didn't want to live up to the kindness of others, and she would gladly accept any trouble, and she would not resent the stone spear. The crowd that had some opinions also calmed down after hearing the name of the stone spear.

When it was Pandora's turn to detect, the magician pressed Pandora's hand against the crystal ball, and the mage's hand did not let go in the process, which was an extremely important step. Surge of energy poured into Pandora's body, pumping magic into the crystal ball through the palm of her hand, the only cathartic route. The usual process was simple, almost a moment, but Pandora's time was a little surprising to him.

The magician does not believe in evil and increases the magic power output, but Pandora is like a bottomless pit, only in and without exit. Just when the magician was about to give up, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling blue light, and the light emitted by a small ball actually stung the crowd in the square like the sun.

"It's... This is, god-level ice talent! The magician screamed in a twist, his hands fluttering like seaweed. His eyes were fixed on Pandora, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

For Saklan, the smirking blue demon is their belief and their biggest hole card, but since the smirking blue demon disappeared thousands of years ago, Saklan's status in the continent has declined. Although they are still afraid of the background of Sacklan, and the smirking blue demon that may appear at any time. But the decline in Sarklan's influence is an indelible fact.

Magical talents can be judged by the glow of a crystal ball. If the crystal ball has mottled colors but no light, it means that the person's talent is limited. One of the colors inside the crystal ball is more than half of the surface area of the crystal ball, and it also glows, which is the entry level of the magic academy. The higher the proportion of a color, the greater the light it emits, the higher the talent, and their relationship is directly proportional.

Historically, the color occupied the entire crystal ball, and the only one who emitted a strong light was the smirking blue demon, because the blue demon was later canonized as a god, so this is also called a god-level talent. And now, a second person has appeared, and the meaning is self-evident.

Pandora was knocked unconscious and woken up. When she opened her eyes, she saw the white snow, and she even thought she was blind, until the six senses of the body recovered, she found that she was lying on the snow, the sky was white, the ground was white, between the heaven and the earth, only she was a strange color.

"Little girl? Lying on the cold ground is not good for your health, hurry up, do you want me to help you? It sounded slightly joyful, but a friendly voice sounded above Pandora's head.

Before Pandora could respond, a picture of the world being turned upside down appeared in front of her, and in the dizziness, you could see a pair of giant hands pulling her up from the snow without saying hello, just like pulling a turnip, pinching her shoulders and pulling it straight, simple and rough.

Pandora finally came back to her senses and saw a blue Santa Claus popping up in front of her eyes. With a long and bushy white beard, a hat, kind eyes, always a smiling face, and a trademark chubby figure, this is clearly the Santa Claus that children can recognize.

Pandora had seen the inhabitants of Norona celebrate Christmas from afar. At that time, even the most honorable people would put down their bodies and mingle with farmers and merchants, sharing delicious food. I also do all kinds of fun games.

On Christmas night, children hang a huge sock next to their bed and write their wishes on a note. The next day, you will be pleasantly surprised to find Santa's Christmas gift in your socks

I heard that Santa Claus would squeeze into the chimney to give gifts to the children, but Pandora's cabin didn't have a chimney, so she deliberately left the door for Santa Claus to go.

The next day, Pandora hopefully opened her empty socks and found a familiar note with the words "Merry Christmas" written crookedly. Since then, Pandora has never hung a sock on Christmas, even if her wish is just a trivial hair accessory.

"Hey, Santa, why don't you give me a present? Other children have it, why don't I have it? It's too much to not even say sorry, you can make up an excuse to say that your elk is not full and can't work, do you know that I was blown by the cold wind all night in order to wait for you to come, hum, woo woo woo" said Pandora's tears were left unfazed, aggrieved like a child. She has always been emotionally held in her heart, poor and pitiful, not at all like a child, until today when she saw Santa Claus, she felt that someone could be relied on by her. Because Santa Claus loves children very much.

Santa Claus, who has a bearded card, doesn't ask or say anything, and expresses his inner thoughts with actions. Giving Pandora a big bear hug, an act that made Pandora cry even harder.

"Good boy, I was wrong, I apologize to you, I promise you that you will not be such a bastard next time, you must work on time, and I will leave you a letter if something is delayed" The bearded man coaxed the little girl distressedly.

The thin body in his arms seemed to be thinner than a cat, and the little head leaning on him and sobbing gave him a sense of guilt that arose spontaneously in his heart, and the reason for crying didn't matter to him, anyway... She cried because he had done something wrong.

Pandora wiped away her tears and said fiercely with her reddened eyes, "Then are you going to give me a gift this Christmas?" ”

"Give, of course! Ask for a few for a few! "Is it okay not to give? I'm afraid I'm going to cry again.

"Why don't you wear a red robe?" Soul Torture X1

"Well, in order to disguise his identity, the red one is too easy to be recognized"

"And what's your real name?" Soul Torture X2

"Just call me bearded. Santa Claus is only my secret identity, so you have to keep it a secret for me."

"And what about your elk?" Soul Torture X3

"Well, I'm giving them a holiday, a big vacation"

"Where do you live"? Soul Torture X3

"Generally living in Sarkland"

"Then why am I here? I remember when I was in Magic Square, and you were still wearing a blue robe? Are you—" Pandora is not stupid, though often nervous, but sometimes sharp.

"Uh...... I'm now a teacher at the Academy of Magic in Saklan," said the bearded man. He still concealed some things, such as his identity.

"Ahh So am I admitted? But... I appeared in the wilderness for some reason, I must have been thrown out of failure. Alas... I knew that I was..."Pandora looked elated at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she denied the illusion, how could she succeed if she wanted to do it? Failure should be her norm.

"Wake up and listen to me, you have been admitted to the academy, and now you are a full student of the academy! You did it! The bearded man had a tense face and said seriously, which made Pandora believe a little.

"Really? Don't lie to me."

"Really! Of course it's true" The bearded man raised his volume a few times, high like a fighter.

No wonder his brother doesn't look for a wife, the little girl is so difficult, wouldn't it be too short to find a wife. The bearded man reluctantly dragged Pandora with his hands, rummaged through all the words praising women in his head, and began to learn and use them.

"You're not stupid at all, my ice and snow smart baby, you're a little bird, so cute. The temperament on your body made me fascinated and crazy at first sight, and your dressing and matching are so tasteful that you are like a little fairy in fairyland. Oh, God! The most beautiful elves on the continent are not half as beautiful as you. You can't turn your eyes when you see it......"

The next morning, a blue glow approached Norona in a straight motion in the cold air at high pressure.

"Little Pandora, can I stop this move? What a shame," said the blue light maker helplessly, and at this time he was posing with a shameful posture of superhuman flight.

"No, no, no! Without this heroic pose, it feels like something is missing! After all, it's flying! The sound came from the back of a bearded man riding on it, with his little head snuggled tightly into his beard.

Some people only need to look at it, and they will tie the bonds that cut the constant, and it should be said that it is the two of them. Pandora is like a daughter who asks of the bearded man, and the bearded man accommodates her like a father. It's like they've been living together for a long time, harmonious and warm.

The flight did not take long, and when the sun rose to the center, they reached Norona. After waiting any further, Pandora realized that the bearded man's beard was covered in snow slag.

"I'll wipe it for you" Pandora stood on tiptoe and clumsily wiped the snow residue from her beard's beard, smirked a few times when she was done, and turned around playfully in a circle.

The bearded man suddenly felt that everything he had done was too worthwhile.

The noisy streets make people can't help but enjoy the bustling atmosphere, the hawkers are loud, the shiny glass windows are full of goods, and the aroma of food fills the street from the street to the end of the street.

This is different from the last time when she was in a hurry, Norona showed her charm to Pando in the most perfect posture.

Pandora tapped her little head with her hand to break free from the atmosphere of the strange arts. She reminded herself inwardly that she hadn't come to Norona for fun, but to save Ula!

He took the initiative to take the bearded old man's hand and walked to the corner of the city, and after a while, Pandora came to the prison again.

"Ahem, it's up to you" Pandora hid behind the bearded man, her small hands holding her robe, revealing only a small head shaking.

"I'm a manpower messenger sent by Saklan, I have something to deal with when I go to prison, so I don't want to open the door quickly!" The bearded man reversed his attitude towards Pandora, his eyes became sharp, exuding the majesty of a magician, and he scolded savagely.

"Of course, you can, my lord, but this kid ......," said the guard at the gate, with some embarrassment.

"Huh? Do you want to try fireball? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare"

"Then don't open the door yet!"

Fighting an ordinary soldier against a noble magician is obviously like an egg hitting a stone, and it is very unwise to behave. The guards immediately opened the door and stood aside in a 90-degree bow.

"Hey, hey, I'm mighty, aren't I?"

"I'm telling you, it's not right to be a murderer, be gentle"

The voices of old age and immaturity echoed in the empty prison.

Today's prison business is extremely bleak, and I haven't seen a single figure after walking for a long time, let alone the figures of Ullah and Rongli. Pandora next to her was as depressed as a plant that had lost its moisture, probably because she hadn't found her brother named Ula. It seems that it will be Christmas in a few days, and it is normal to have no prisoners.

"The guards at the door should know where Rongli and Ula are going, I'll help you ask"

"Hmm" Pandora still didn't have the spirit to reply, immersed in self-condemnation.

But hurry up and make her full of energy! The bearded man ignored the majestic image of the magician, and ran to the prison gate out of breath to ask about the situation.

"Where's the melt? And where did the little boy he took go? Hurry up! The bearded man asked eagerly.

"Honorable Mage......"

"Don't be polite! Getting to the point! The bearded man already felt the heat of the fire condense in his hands.

"They left Norona three months ago," the guard hurriedly replied, thinking to himself, the magician is too domineering, but unfortunately I can't afford to provoke it, alas, no wonder my mother used to force me to try to be a magician.

“fuck！！” It's terrible!

As expected, the honest-told beard was once again hit by Pandora's tears. After struggling to comfort Pandora, he said that when he met the guy in the melt, he must give him a fireball technique to taste.

"Ah, little Pandora, I have come up with a solution. Why don't you go to Saklan with me, I will introduce you to Saklan's magic academy, and when you are successful in your studies, you will also have a certain status on the mainland, and there will be many people to help you find your brother. What do you think? The bearded man said in a consultative tone. Every time I went to Norona, I went through the motions of a routine business, but I didn't see a talented magician. Moreover, according to the rules of the founder of Sarklan, every magician could forcibly refer a person to the Academy of Magic, and the academy could not refuse to accept it, even if that person did not have the slightest magical talent.

"Are you there for me?" Pandora's look was like saying, "If you're not there with me, I'm not going."

"Yes, yes, I'll go there and be an ordinary teacher and teach you magic," the bearded man said happily. The position of human envoy was not hesitated to be given up by him.

"Hey, hey, smirk! They're going to your hometown, maybe they'll be able to see old acquaintances," the Red Devil's bright red eyes lit with excitement.

A smirk tidied up his clothes and replied inscrutablely, "I already knew, everything is under my control"

"And then?" The Red Devil swallowed.

"Hahaha, can I not know that this is the magician costume I requested?" As soon as the style of painting changed, the fake smile leaned on the Red Devil like the king of the sandbank.

"Boring!"

The smirk sighed and said sadly, "It's been too long, and Sacklan doesn't know if it's changed." I don't know if there's anything left in my treasure room, I'm afraid they've taken it away. There are still a lot of old people who don't know if they're still there."

"yes, it's been too long, but I'm glad I have you with me," the Red Devil looked at the smirk in his eyes.

"It's nice to have you"

"It's nice to have you"
