How did you fall asleep? Walking on the way to the cafeteria, Ryan never understood that the moment he successfully meditated and connected to the magic net, the real feeling was definitely not a dream, but now there was no sign in his mind that could allow him to enter meditation again.

"Ouch!" There was a crash and a scream in front of him, and Ryan looked up to see a human teenager sitting down in front of him.

"Uh, are you alright?" Obviously, I was thinking too much and didn't notice the person in front of me. He is a level 2 ranger, and his physical fitness is much higher than that of these apprentices who have not yet become mages.

"You don't have eyes, do you?" Rubbing his ass and standing up, the boy glanced at Ryan and complained quietly, then his gaze rested on his ears, and the expression on his face suddenly became dull.

"Hello?!" Reaching out and waving in front of the boy, Ryan was a little worried about whether he had knocked him stupid.

"You're Ryan? That Lancedel's half-elf apprentice? Coming back to his senses, the boy pointed at Ryan and shouted, his face full of shock.

"You know me?" Ryan didn't expect that he would be called by his name less than a day after he came, and he was also a little incredible.

"Huh? Actually alive?! I'm so lucky! ”

"What are you talking about?" Seeing the young man so excited in front of him that he was about to dance, the wrinkles between Ryan's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, shouldn't he really be stupid?

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Clearing his throat, the boy quickly restrained his exaggerated expression and bent down to make a noble salute to Ryan, "You can call me Patrick." ”

"Aristocrats?" Although he didn't like this set of rules, Ryan still gave the other party the respect he deserved, saluted him in return, and then asked.

"There are only mages in Shining Star Castle." Seeing Ryan return the salute, Patrick smiled with satisfaction, said a pun, and then looked at Ryan with a curious gaze.

"What did you mean by being alive?"

"Your mentor is Lancedel, isn't it?"

"Hmm."

"Huh."

？？？ Seeing the other man laughing without saying a word, Ryan felt the urge to punch someone from the bottom of his heart, but his tired spirit finally made him give up the idea, shook his head and walked briskly forward.

"Hey, Ryan, why are you going back to your dorm room at noon?"

"Dorms?" Hearing Patrick's shout, Ryan had the time to carefully look at the building in front of him, the square building, from time to time he could see an apprentice walking out of it, and there was a wooden sign written in Elven and lingua franca hanging at the door, and if you looked closely, it was the word dormitory.

Remembering where he didn't live yet, Ryan turned to Pattry behind him, "Do the apprentices live here?" ”

"yes, didn't you sleep here last night?"

Nodding his head in acquiescence, Ryan walked towards the dormitory room.

There is a big feature of the castle dwellings, or the vast majority of Ariel's private academies. That is, the dormitory is more like an apartment, only divided into high and low, regardless of gender, and even some like-minded students living together will not be cared for.

The caretaker's job is more to keep the dormitory safe and prevent the apprentices from suddenly rising up and blowing up the dormitory building, so he is also a powerful mage. However, the obscene little old man didn't care about Ryan's approach, but instead focused on the female apprentice who came out.

"Hello." Placing the letter of admission in front of the administrator, Ryan kept waving his hand to get the other person's attention.

"Little bunny, you're in my sight." A large area of vision was blocked by Ryan, who suddenly appeared, and the old man curled his beard and looked at the half-elf boy in front of him with great dissatisfaction.

"I'm a new apprentice." Pushing the admission letter forward, the tired Ryan didn't have the time to care about the other party's rudeness, "Where is my room?" ”

After a brief glance at the contents, the old man waved to the wall behind him, like a magnet to attract a key on the wall: "Go find it yourself, don't hinder my work." ”

Is it your job to spy on girls? After getting the key to his room, Ryan watched the old man squint his eyes again, and his extremely obscene appearance made him really unable to complain.

"Oh? Ryan, your room looks like it's on the same floor as me. Patrice suddenly leaned out from behind Ryan and glanced at the house number in his hand, looking extremely excited.

"Really? That's unfortunate. "There is a sense of belonging when you have a place to live, and Ryan didn't really want to deal with this nervous mage apprentice, so he checked his room number and walked straight to the building.

"Haha, Ryan, it's really your blessing to meet me, I think I spent most of the day trying to find a room, and the mentor almost got angry...

"Hey, boy, I'll talk to you!" When Ryan was about to enter the dormitory, Patrick reacted, shouted, and quickly trotted to follow.

It wasn't without merit that there were so many entrance fees, at least each apprentice would get a separate dormitory, small in size, but much more compact than Ryan's room at Barnard Castle. Although the route of the Fort Shinestar dormitory is not complicated, the long corridor seems to have no end, and finally with the help of Pattery, Ryan finally finds his room.

However, even though Ryan refused the boy's request from his peers, the kraft candy still followed Ryan to the cafeteria with a dead face on the pretext of helping him avoid getting lost.

Ryan was annoyed by Pattry's words along the way, but the big mouth suddenly mentioned his mentor, which made him stunned.

"You know what? Ransdell is the only legendary mage in the entire Shining Star Castle other than the Morning Star Eleven Wizard. ”

"He was the coveted mentor of many apprentices, but those who did manage to get close to Lancesdell regretted it to death."

"Why?" It was rare to hear Pattry mention something related to him, and Ryan finally spoke.

Expressing a brief surprise at Ryan's sudden speech, who had been silent, Patrick was obviously very excited to have someone to talk to him, and he didn't whet his appetite at this time, and told Ryan very happily: "Lancedel is very eccentric, he never cares about the life or death of his apprentice, and he is particularly obsessed with alchemy, and almost every day he makes a mess of the laboratory, and his apprentice has to clean his room every day in fear. ”

"And." Looking around and noticing that no one else was noticing, Patrick whispered, "His alchemy is terrifying!" ”

"I'm sure you saw it yesterday, his laboratory was renovated a few years ago, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago."

"Some people say that he used to be an alchemist, but then something went wrong here." Pointing to his temple, Patrice told Ryan with a mysterious expression, "Don't tell anyone else, or we'll both die ugly." ”

I think you're having a problem here, right? The corners of Ryan's mouth kept trembling, and he looked like he wanted to laugh but couldn't. The caster eats with his brain, if there is something wrong with Ransdell here, is it a ghost who instantly sent the dimensional barrier yesterday?

Ignoring Patine's unnutritious gossip, Ryan concentrated on the food in front of him. One thing he remembered, though, was that if Ransdell messed up his room every day, he would have to do his job as an apprentice. And the books that Ransdell left in the lab last night really made him think about it, it was definitely not a coincidence, he needed to verify whether his mentor was up to the right or not.

Most of the mages squatted at home without leaving the door, and most of them chose to send their apprentices to their homes even when they ate, so that Ryan didn't see many people in Shining Star Castle all day. The only exception is probably the stately building in front of him, the library, through the expensive glass windows, Ryan can see a large number of mages and apprentices wandering through it, and the door is literally full of people coming in and out.

Just as Ryan was standing in front of the library with envy, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Boy, how did you sleep last night?" ”

"Teacher!" Philip still had the smile that made Ryan feel kind, and after seeing him appear in front of him, Ryan became puzzled after a brief surprise, "How did you find me?" ”

"I'm a high-level wanderer, isn't this little thing easy to capture?" Philip replied proudly, without telling him that it was the prophecy spells that Viren was proficient in.

You're not a ranger, what kind of tracking are you learning blindly? Although he sensed that something was wrong, Ryan didn't hurt enough to dismantle him: "So teacher, are you here to say goodbye to me now?" ”

Seeing a hint of reluctance flashing between Ryan's eyebrows, Philip just smiled: "That's right, I finally got Viren, I have to go back and tell Kylot the good news." ”

"You must fight for Lao Tzu, although Lancedell is not the best mentor, he is definitely the most suitable mentor for you... Speaking of this, the look on Philip's face darkened, and he was silent for a long time, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Ryan, it's too late for you to regret it now, the path of a mage is by no means as simple as it seems, especially for you. ”

Why? Don't you believe me? His eyes widened unconsciously, Ryan really couldn't understand Philip's words, and was about to ask, but was preempted by the halfling: "Ah, but since you have this interest and determination, it's okay, you can ask for more blessings yourself, I'm leaving." ”

Without giving Ryan a chance to speak, the halfling's nimble steps quickly moved away from him, waved his hand with his back to the boy, and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.

Inexplicably, this is the word that best reflects Ryan's mood at the moment. This baby is a former legendary mage! What does it mean that it is not easy for me? Are you so unconfident in me?

Philip's goodbye seemed a little weird, and Ryan always felt an inexplicable depression in his heart. However, a dull explosion was heard not far behind the library, and Ryan took a deep breath, put aside his doubts, and walked slowly towards Lancedel's laboratory

At the gate of Shining Star Castle, Philip, who had just left, turned his head to look at the gradually closing gate, his lips opened lightly, and he muttered in a low voice as if in a dream: "Leave it to fate... Kylot, I hope you don't blame me... ”
