In the gray room, an old man with a pale face and one ear is sitting at his desk reading papers. In the upper left corner of the tabletop are bottles of magic ink and pen holders, and next to them is a floating round bead of light.

"Mage Grant, I haven't seen each other in a few months."

Priscilla looked up and smiled kindly. He put down the papers, stood up, poured a drink from the side and put it next to him, and said politely, "Come, sit here." ”

Grant didn't quite understand what the one-eared mage in front of him meant, and took a few steps closer to take the cup, and sat there.

Spoke softly: "What's the matter?" Dean of the Priscilla Branch. ”

Grant remembers that five months ago, the former branch dean was transferred to the headquarters of the Higher Education College. As the most prestigious and senior director of the department, Venerable Priscilla naturally became a favorable candidate for the branch director. As in the game, Priscilla eventually became the branch head, overseeing most of the affairs of the Shadow Elementary Academy.

"I heard that you fought Meredith recently, and your strength has reached that of a second-order mage. I think there's something wrong with your position as a teacher in the Shadow Academy, and you intend to be promoted to a professor in the Department of the Undead, I don't know what you think? ”

"No, I'm in the tenth month of my tenure at the Shadow Academy, and my contract is still two months away. It doesn't make much sense to be promoted to professor in these two months, so thank you to Dean Priscilla for your kindness. ”

"Oh?" Priscilla raised an eyebrow and put down her glass.

He understood that Grant had offended the Dark Rod, if he didn't have the support of the forces behind him. For example, Meredith could have asked multiple captains to hunt Grant together, and he could easily kill him. And after death, no force will be willing to come forward at all. So. Generally, the survival rate of mages of large forces is very high, and they are better than ascetics. Wandering Mages are much stronger.

"Dean Priscilla, that's right. I want to take part in the Black Shadow Killer test at the end of the year. I like a more liberal approach, and Black Shadow Killer is a good fit for me. Of course, I'm still from the Shadow Academy. ”

"I see, then congratulations on your success."

Dean Priscilla smiled slightly, and also understood Grant's thoughts.

"Is there anything else going on with the dean?"

"It's gone."

Priscilla shook her head.

"Then I'll step back first."

"Yes."

After a few brief words, Grant also retired from the school office. Serving in school, he never wanted to live like this. When you have enough strength, you will go to the Nightmare Frontier and go to another continent. That's where Grant really lives.

After returning to the Black Tower room, Grant rested for a while. Meditate on the flames of hell.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, according to Tenfil's agreement, Grant needs to go to the grand event of the Starfall Festival.

The mage cluster was once born from the shattering and falling of the elemental core, and the mages who survived the ancient times named this day as the Starfall Festival to commemorate this event. Over the course of thousands of years, the festival has gradually become a feature of the mage cluster. It is also the biggest festival in the entire mage world.

On this day, all the mages mourn in the square in the evening, as well as processions. Speeches by the top forces of the city of Selephais.

…………

During the day, the whole city is dressed up. Many shops have replaced the front of the shops with white bouquets of flowers, and the edges are wrapped in a circle of white cloth.

Many mages greeted each other on the side of the road, with smiling faces.

For the Ancient Mage. Starfall season is a day of regret for them, full of heavy sadness. Because of the fall of the elemental core, the heyday mage civilization went backwards, and the once multi-line mage sect gradually withered. The small category of mages that have survived is only one-twentieth of what it was in its heyday.

After thousands of years. Grief is washed away. All the mages were not so sad, and gradually formed a lively festival.

Because the day is the time to prepare. Only wait until the night to be the most lively festival. So, Grant and Tiffel. Taylor didn't set off immediately, but found a hotel and ate his food slowly. At the same time, tell me about some things that you have encountered recently.

The atmosphere was pleasant until the evening.

Shanding Street, near the Wizard's Square, is the choke point of economic transportation in the city of Selephas. Normally, the number of mages is twice as large as in the nearby streets, but when the festival comes, the number of mages explodes by three or four times, making the streets crowded from afar. In order to avoid this way, the Mage Upper Echelons are also on this day, and there are no restrictions on the use of flying mounts.

The starry sky was sparse and moonlit, and from time to time streamers crossed one after another, and a sound sounded.

On the corner of the street, three young mages stood.

It was Grant, Tiffel, and Taylor. They changed into dresses and swept away the usual dull and serious atmosphere. Like Tenfil, Taylor's holiday evening clothes are woven from white gauze material. Smooth and light, it can show a proud posture when worn on the body, and the furrow on the chest is like a bright firework, attracting the attention of many people nearby.

Their eyes are like hungry wolves, fixed on their chests, and they have delicate and dazzling faces. A vertical head of silver hair will be Tenfil. Taylor is decorated like a silver goddess, beautiful beyond desecration.

"Hmph, a bunch of young boys. It's really young and impatient. ”

Some middle-aged mages nearby looked at the group of mages who were staring at people with disdain. They understood that most of this group were apprentices of second-order mages or newly promoted mages. Their spiritual will has not yet reached a certain level, and they are naturally susceptible to the temptation of external objects. Often, this kind of mage also does not have the potential to become a good mage.

Grant is also the kind of person who doesn't care, and has been tempered in the game as early as possible. He stood there and said with a smile on his face, "It looks like you're still in the spotlight." ”

"Don't laugh, let's go to Mage Square. Now should be the time for the arrival of the leaders of the high-level forces, and the fireworks in the starry sky will also bloom. ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that the fireworks are full of stars, and they are very magnificent."

With excited and excited faces, Tiffel and Taylor gently walked to the entrance of the plaza and greeted Grant.

"Okay, let's go inside." Grant followed, following the side of Chanting Avenue to Mage's Square.

Mage's Square.

At this moment, there was a circle of puppet warriors in cloth armor at the edge of the clearing, each with first-order top strength. The captain level all have second-order strength. It is a group of low-level personnel of the Mage Alliance who are responsible for maintaining and managing order.

As the most mysterious mage alliance, it is undoubtedly the number one force in the mage cluster. When the ancient mage civilization had not yet withered, it had the top strength of the black robe and the white robe. The seventh and eighth orders also have a lot. Although the strength of their respective mages is now weakened to the point of being terrifying, the foundation of the mage alliance is still there, and naturally it will not fall easily.

He is still the most powerful group of mages, but they don't usually attend.

It took Grant and Tenfir more than ten minutes to arrive at a place near the fountain in the square, and when they stood there for not too long, several streamers slowly appeared in the distant sky, accompanied by fireworks full of stars. (To be continued.) )
