Chapter 41: The Race That Brings Disaster to the Country and the People
In the afternoon, the wooden boat docked at the fantasy Sky Temple.
The entire Sky Sanctuary is composed of four inverted cone-shaped suspended islands, the largest island is the academic and political center 'Truth Academy', and next to it are the elven 'elven city' and the human 'glory' and 'order' two cities.
Against the backdrop of a pale blue sky, four islands drift through the clouds. The breeze of the island and the fragrance of flowers blow across your face, and you can see the buildings that are in harmony with nature. The entire Sky Temple is like a little cinnabar on the sky, soaked in harmony and beauty.
But compared to the scenery, Xia Han was the first to be frightened by the inscriptions on the two pillars leading from the port to the Truth Academy.
――
Every mage is a beloved child of the world
You who become mages will be able to do anything
――
Is this a welcome speech? It's really domineering enough
Xia Han looked around, and the other children who also got off the boat had their eyes lit up, and they looked at the pillar intently, as if these two words of welcome had tempted them.
"Young Master."
The cold voice sounded, and Xia Han turned around with sweat on his face: Bai Xue was standing behind him, her hands were wearing white gloves and her face was upright - she had completely entered the maid mode.
"Young master, let's go!"
Bai Xue spoke again, her eyes a little impatient.
"Aha, let's go"
Xia Han laughed dryly, and then entered the Truth Academy.
Although the name of the Truth College bears the Academy, it is a city, and its main function includes everything that a city should have, and the focus is not on learning but on the study of spells. The Sky Sanctuary is where countless mages grew up, but it is very different from the school.
Unlike Earth, which has class grades, the young mages of the Sky Temple are more like a group of free apprentices.
The old mages unearthed gifted children from the outside world for merit and brought them to the Sky Temple, and then taught them the basics. The little mages can go to any place in the academy to listen to speeches and debates, enter different shops to learn the magic of life, and of course, they can also enter the library of truth to learn.
Once they know the necessary basics, the young mages will not be given detailed instructions, and they will all have to find their own path. The Library of Truth holds thousands of years of magical materials throughout the world, and it is the most important place in the Sky Temple, where all mages, from beginners to seasoned mages, can find what they are looking for.
It's a free city, so it doesn't matter if Xia Han doesn't have a leader, but he must at least get a library pass.
And for him and Bai Xue, the biggest problem right now is eating.
"Boss, how much is this cake?"
"5 silver coins."
"It's so expensive, you can have a big meal with 5 silver coins outside!"
"Miss, you also said it was outside"
The price of the Sky Temple was ridiculously high, and Bai Xue couldn't even afford a single cake, so he had no choice but to go aimlessly with hunger and Xia Han.
The female elf had never been to the Sky Temple before, and Xia Han thought she would know something, but once she entered the Truth Academy, she had no clue.
[I followed the wrong person. Xia Han sighed in his heart, his eyes paying attention to the sky from time to time.
"What are you looking at?" Bai Xue finally couldn't help but raise her head.
"Let's see if food falls from the sky." Of course, Xia Han won't tell Bai Xue about the story mission, but he didn't lie - apples are also food.
"Stupid or not"
Bai Xue muttered, but her eyes followed Xia Han. The movement of the two people, one big and one young, attracted the attention of others on the street, and many doubtful mages also raised their heads.
"What are they looking at?"
"It looks like a meteorite is falling."
"No, it won't"
Strange rumors spread quickly, unknowingly causing a strange sight of half of the street looking up. After a long time, a black dot appeared in the sky, and it fell at an extremely fast speed.
"Little one, you're god!" Snow White's eyes lit up.
"Meteorites, there are meteorites!"
"Why didn't the protective magic activate?"
The other mages also began to agitate.
Only Xia Han knew what it was before he could see the item, he took a breath, and then stretched out his hands.
"Frost winds!"
In just a few seconds, more than a dozen cold winds swirled from Xia Han's side and surged straight into the sky.
The rapidly falling black dot was blocked by a cold wind and reduced its speed, and then landed firmly in Xia Han's hand - this is a wooden box.
"Frost Wind can be used like this!"
"No, it's surprising that this kid can send out so many frost winds in a row."
The mages' eyes changed when they looked at Xia Han, Frost Wind was an instantaneous spell that could only be used by a third-order mage, and its main function was to temporarily paralyze the enemy in the mage's weak melee combat to widen the distance - but the mana required was not low.
A young kid casting more than a dozen frost winds in a row not only proves that he has entered the third order, but also has a huge mana base, and this kind of talent is rare to see in a hundred years.
"Another kid with amazing talent has appeared."
On the top floor of the circular library, a beautiful woman drinking tea noticed the commotion in the city and smiled: "It's a pity it's an elf." ”
Genies can only be managed by Genies.
Xia Han and Bai Xue found a place to open the chest, which was filled with apples, which were baptized by the frost wind, and they glowed with a seductive cool smell in the sun.
[It's okay to eat a little, right? 】
The plot mission has ended, and although Xia Han thinks it's best not to eat, he and Bai Xue have been hungry for a long time since last night, so naturally they can't care so much.
One grabbed an apple, and the two ate it on the spot. But before the apple was gone, an elf with a staff appeared in front of the two of them.
"Apples in a Box"
He looked at Xia Han and the two of them and the apples in the wooden box, and smiled wryly: "You actually ate it." ”
"What's wrong?" Bai Xue was not a little afraid in the face of her compatriots: "Is there something wrong with this box of apples?" ”
"You don't know?" A hint of surprise flashed in the elven mage's eyes: "Sky Temple mages should know that except for a few lords' orders, nothing else can fly over the city without permission. ”
"And the apples that flew in the no-fly zone are naturally exclusive to Princess Fiona!"
"Princess Fiona!!" Bai Xue was startled and jumped up: "This is Princess Fiona's apple?" ”
"Yes." The elven mage nodded, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that you are still newcomers, so it doesn't matter because our mage in charge of transportation is not cautious enough, and Princess Fiona will not blame you." ”
He swung his staff at the wooden box, which immediately floated. "You come with me, it's okay to do this." The mage smiled: "But the new elves can't go to the elven city to report!" ”
Xia Han and Bai Xue immediately followed him.
Only then did the two of them know that the three islands outside the Truth Academy were residential areas, and the mages belonging to the three lords lived on different islands. And all the elves inhabit the island of the elves, and the lord is Fiona, the only princess of the Magic Empire.
"So, the way the elves are named is different from us humans, Sister Snow White, what is your real name?"
Xia Han asked Bai Xue quietly.
"Latiss," Bai Xue replied.
Latice Xia Han looked up the name in the illustrated book, but Latice's information popped up in the hundreds, and he had to put it down first. There is also the name of an elf princess, which also needs to be looked up by the way.
Fiona:
The last queen of the Magic Empire, data lost.
――――
There was only a short introduction, but Xia Han suddenly became strange. He still remembers that when he searched for no sword, the illustrated book showed 'No such person in the search'. When Fiona was queried, it was written 'data lost'.
A strange thought flashed through Xia Han's mind, and just as he was about to catch it, Bai Xue suddenly came to his ear.
"Little guy, many elves use human names outside, so you don't have to change the name Xia Han directly." She smiled strangely, "Anyway, no one else can find out that you are him." ”
That's right, Xia Han's body has changed bloodlines, and even if he is dissected, no one will think of him and the king of the Jade Empire.
But
"How can you be so sure you won't be discovered?" Xia Han didn't reveal the secret to Bai Xue, she should have thought that his form was caused by a change in magic, and magic could be seen through by those powerful mages in the Sky Temple.
The "secret" Bai Xue did not explain, but her smile was a little ambiguous.
[Anyway, I fell asleep in her arms last night] Xia Han suddenly felt that something was wrong, this didn't do anything after he fell asleep, right?
Thieves can make people fall asleep and fall unconscious, but Xia Han is only nine years old, and it seems impossible to do anything. Leaving the Academy of Truth and walking through a corridor paved with crystals, Summer Cold and Snow arrive at the Elven City.
The perimeter of the Elven City is surrounded by a huge river, and the city bends into a ring by the river. It is a noble and elegant city, full of trees and Western-style houses. Balconies and staircases are suspended in mid-air, and the stone pavements on the ground are decorated with floral motifs.
The ancient and elegant elven architectural style surprised Xia Han.
"Welcome to the City of Elves."
In a gentle and watery tone, Xia Han heard an unfamiliar voice, which was tactful and fragrant.
A blonde adult woman with blue hair appeared in front of Xia Han at some point, with soft eyebrows, rippling eyes, and a perfect face that looked like she ran out of a painting.
"I'm Fiona, welcome to your children of magic."
She looked at Xia Han and smiled, the corners of her mouth upturned enough to make any man distracted, wanting to kiss her seductive red lips fiercely.
Are female elves all monsters?
Xia Han lamented in his heart, he finally knew what it was called a race that brought disaster to the country and the people.
