Chapter 21: A New Beginning
The sky is blue, the air is fresh, and the sun shines brightly on the masted-lined pier.
"Is this Greenland?"
From the first moment he disembarked, Victor fell in love with the beauty and charm of this island.
"Welcome to Greenland, it will be the most unforgettable memory of your life!"
It could be seen that Lord Rosa was in a very good mood, and he said to the mage apprentices in an aria-like tone: "I hope everyone can adapt to the new environment here!" The ocean of truth awaits your swimming, and the mysteries of the infinite await your exploration......"
Victor bumped Dean who was standing beside him on his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "I said, something is wrong with Lord Rosa's current feelings...... As a disciple, can you reveal a little bit of the inside story? ”
"Ha, you don't know that!"
Dean said proudly, "I also just learned from the teacher that he has been promoted to a high-level mage!" This time he went to Greenland with us to go to the headquarters to register, and to keep us safe was just a stop-by......"
"Register?" Victor asked, "If it's just a matter of registration, Lord Rosa, he can send a message to the Magic Society, right?" I won't take the risk and go on this trip myself! ”
"That...... I don't know, maybe the teacher has other arrangements! ”
Dean spread his hands, looking unaware.
At this time, Rosa, who was very emotional, had calmed down his feelings, and he pointed to the four-wheeled carriages parked on the dock in a row, and said, "Everyone, get in the car and go!" ”
……
Several driverless four-wheeled carriages drove gently along the wide, smooth bluestone streets of the town where the port was located, and the apprentices in the carriages were curiously surveying the new environment through the windows of the vehicles.
Unlike the gloomy and depressing continent of Worsted, the residents who live here are ruddy-faced, well-dressed, and most of them have happy smiles on their faces, and this positive mental outlook alone makes Victor feel an aura called "freedom".
"Victor, are you satisfied with the environment here?"
Rosa, who was sitting in the same carriage, suddenly asked.
"Huh? Oh yes my lord, the qiē here all look so charming......"
Victor was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the pedestrians outside the carriage and replied: "Especially the people's clothing is very different from the style on the mainland. ”
"Hehe, soon you will like this simple, convenient and decent ......"
Rosa smiled and said, "It's been a full decade since I left Greenland!" Although I have always wanted to return to this free place, I have ...... because of the accusations"
“…… Instead of talking about these 'sad' things, I'll briefly talk about the necessary common sense......"
Rosa changed the subject and talked about the dos and don'ts of Greenland.
"Don't abuse magic anytime, anywhere! Otherwise, the gentlemen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Magical Society will invite you to tea and talk very ...... in a very 'friendly' manner."
"Tea?"
Dean, who was sitting next to Victor, repeated the word in confusion.
"Oh, tea is a special drink made from herbs, bitter and sweet, I heard that it was brought back from the far east continent by His Excellency the President, and it is very suitable for refreshing ......"
Rosa explained slightly, and then said to Victor and Dean: "After we register, you mage apprentices will be assigned to various magic academies for necessary study according to their talents and interests. ”
"Victor, after entering the academy, you can feel it carefully...... Look at the way the Magic Society educates mage apprentices, is it as bad as you think......"
"Uh...... I see, sir. ”
Victor touched his nose in embarrassment, he didn't expect Rosa to struggle with this issue.
Dean smiled gloatingly, but was looked at by his teacher.
"Dean, you're also going to enter the Academy of Magic! It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I hope you can learn more and make more friends in the academy...... Like a partner like Victor. ”
"Teacher, your standards are too high...... Okay, okay, I'll go! I'm going to the Academy of Magic! ”
Dean, who was in an unhappy mood, was very spineless and forgave after being glared at by his teacher.
"Don't underestimate the accumulation of knowledge in the Academy of Magic, only by going through this necessary process can you better discover your potential!"
Rosa looked solemn: "A great mage, in addition to his extraordinary strength, he is also a knowledgeable scholar. ”
Saying this, Rosa looked outside the carriage: "Alright, we will soon reach the 'dock'...... Get ready to get off. ”
"Dockyard? Aren't we going to the Magic Society to register? ”
The doubts that flashed through Victor's mind were quickly answered.
The carriage in which the mage's apprentices rode headed straight for the square in the center of the town.
As soon as the vehicle entered the area of the square, the light in Victor's field of vision immediately distorted strangely, and at the same time, the feeling of vertigo was constantly stimulating the nerves in his brain.
"Don't panic! This is normal......"
Rossan's loud voice made the panicked mage apprentices feel a little reassured.
Soon, all the uncomfortable sensations disappeared as if they had never happened.
"What the hell is this?"
Victor squeezed his temples and whined quietly.
When Victor, who had returned to normal, looked out of the carriage again, his mouth opened wide in shock at the spectacular scene unfolding before him.
I saw a huge city suspended in the sky not far away, shrouded in countless dark blue magic runes.
"Get out of the car!"
Victor's eyes were staring at the city in the sky, but his body unconsciously stepped out of the carriage, as did the other mage apprentices.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of our journey...... The headquarters of the Continental Society for the Promotion of Magical Knowledge, the great floating city of 'Skexiti'. ”
Rosa was very satisfied with the shock of Victor and the others, he stretched out his right arm and leaned over slightly to make an aristocratic invitation gesture.
PS: I have something to go out tonight, and the chapter was sent out in advance.
