Riddle? Wise had just celebrated his ninth birthday. The latest chapter of the book - out and !keep in mind.

As a farmer's child, Riddle will continue to spend countless birthdays in this small village surrounded by wheat fields - maybe he will join the village's self-police team or open a grocery store or something when he grows up, but one thing is for sure, if nothing else, the little boy with beautiful flaxen hair and amber eyes will never leave the village for the rest of his life.

Even if Her Majesty the Queen of Julianne had adjusted the farmers' taxes, allowing them to get rid of the hungry and full life they had before, and even had a little copper slot left over every week to go to the tavern to fart and chat, but this small amount of money was still a little too little, and it was not felt in the small village, and it was probably exhausted when they arrived in the big city.

The only time Riddle left the village in his nine years of life was a year ago, when his father took him to the city to buy a new tooth for farming.

That's right, if there are no surprises......

"Daddy, the bird is here again."

Little Riddle, who had been catching bulletworms (grasshopper-like insects that can be used for fishing) outside the house, suddenly pointed to the leafy tree in the doorway and shouted.

In the dense canopy of trees, a large snow-white bird with a body length of about 60 centimeters could be seen.

Daddy Wise, who was putting an iron plow on the toothyg, didn't react much.

And those magic guides are technologically advanced, and the magic element is highly active. The frequency of monsters in this small village is not high, but some beasts that spoil crops often circle around the village.

Although he had never seen the big bird with a snow-white body and a bit like an owl before, it was probably just a bird that had just recently come to the village to nest, and although this bird was quite large, its wingspan even reached more than a meter. However, there was no news of hurting, and he didn't take it seriously.

If it was usual, Daddy White might try to catch it. But now that the summer wheat season has arrived, if you miss it, the autumn harvest will be a lot less, and that's all money! So he didn't have time to get busy with business, where could he still care about catching birds for children. After a few perfunctory words, he drove the toothed beast out of the door.

Little Riddle didn't think so, and though his parents didn't believe it, the big bird had been around him for days, staring at him with bright yellow pupils.

Does it want to fly with me? The child's nature makes little Riddle not only not have a trace of fear about this, but also have a sense of expectation. However, the big bird apparently did not have such thoughts, and just stayed at the branch, and continued to observe little Riddle under the cover of the branches.

After throwing a rock at the big bird, but it didn't work because his arm strength was too small, little Riddle who was playing heavy immediately left it behind and moved on to other things.

A few more days passed. When the boy was used to the big bird's onlookers, he suddenly found that the big bird was gone.

His friends regretted this.

Although the big bird is not very active, but the appearance is very powerful and heroic, and it looks majestic, and the usual noisy and noisy finch does not even dare to squeak next to the big white bird.

"I knew that I would have found a way to catch it. How handsome Uncle Rand's falcon is! That big bird will definitely not be worse than the crooked beak after training! ”

The opinion of a certain bear child is supported by the majority.

"That's a cat-faced falcon, a rat catcher, right? Are you going to train a game bird that catches rats? ”

A little guy who couldn't get used to seeing the smug face of the bear child retorted, and suddenly the two began to quarrel in a gang.

"I think the meat of that big bird must be better than the chicken, and it should be grilled and eaten when caught!"

A certain foodie ghost expressed his opinion in the storm of his friends, and then was sprayed in the face by the two sides with the same hatred.

Although Riddle didn't say much about it, he felt that the bear child's opinion was the best. At the same time, I felt a little lost in the sudden disappearance of the big bird.

Could it be that someone has taken it? There are many masters of catching birds in the village.

But soon he put this little frustration aside, and ran with his friends to catch spiders - every once in a while someone would come from the city to collect live spiders and spider silk, which was said to be a spell casting item for the magicians, although it was not sold for a high price, but it was one of the few sources of pocket money for these children who did not give pocket money at home.

The next day, when little Riddle walked out of the door with his back stretched, he found that the big bird had reappeared.

This time, however, Otori brought a letter wrapped in good letterhead and sealed with a wax seal, which should not have appeared in such a rural area no matter how you look at it.

Both the Wise and little Riddle were illiterate, so they took the letter and ran to the village chief's house at the entrance of the village, and asked the village chief to read the letter to them before they understood its contents.

[Dear Riddle? Mr. Wise :]

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to enroll in the Adric Academy of Magic. 】

Our semester will begin on the 31st of July, the month of Acorn, and we will all be waiting for the Grey Owl, the big bird at your door, to hear from you. 】

[If you decide to study at our college, please bring the envelope with you after replying to the letter and wait for our transportation at your door on the 30th of the month of Acorn. 】

[Finally, I wish you happiness. 】

At the bottom of the letter is 'Vice Dean Sophia?' Lange & Söhne' and a ribbon-shaped coat of arms similar to the wax seal on the seal.

The other envelope reads: 'The Empire of Ilian, the province of Avonsaud, the village of Modrian, the third house to the west, and the Riddle to the south? Mr. Wise received it', and the sender wrote 'Castle in the Sky, Adric School of Magic and Wizardry, Dean Sivi?' Edric sent'.

For this letter, the Wise family is like the daughter of a cake shop who is suddenly notified that she wants to become a princess, and everyone except Riddle is in a state of shock except for Riddle, who does not know what is going on about it.

Even the well-informed old village chief was not spared to be amazed - he was also a person who had seen the market, and naturally knew how hot the magic academy was, and it was still people who wanted to learn magic to take the initiative to find the magic academy, and it was the first time that he had heard that a magic academy had taken the initiative to find students.

Looking at the strange expressions of his parents, little Riddle inexplicably had a feeling that maybe his future had already been booked, and began to gallop in another direction...... (To be continued)
