OK, here is today's second watch, and then the usual votes, above ~
————————————————————————————————————
"If I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to brave this kind of heavy rain to go out."
Riel glanced up at the dark sky, and sighed helplessly, after all, according to his original budget, during the rainy season in the past few months, he should have squatted in the Crimson constellation and not went out, although a rainstorm would not interfere with a magician, but the trouble that could be avoided, Riel has never been willing to get involved.
But this time there was no way, the Magic Association personally found someone to invite him to act together, saying that some of the bigwigs in the Magic Association had discovered a ruin, which may be related to the Great Destruction War 1,200 years ago, similar ruins are not uncommon on the mainland, according to tradition, special personnel are generally arranged to explore and excavate in the ruins.
But naturally, most of these so-called experts are people who have no ability to protect themselves, and archaeological excavations can still rely on them, but if there is any danger in the ruins, they cannot be counted on at all, so usually in this case, it is necessary to hire security personnel.
And this security officer generally doesn't need a magician.,Ordinary magic swordsmen and other combat professions that have been transferred can also be competent.,But this is a relic discovered by the Magic Association.,And it's about the battle of the Great Apocalypse.,So the Magic Association is also particularly interested in this relic.,So decided to send a mage to accompany it.。
Originally, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened to Riel anyway, but who knows what was going on in the head of the boss in the Magic Association? They actually sent someone to invite Riel to come along.
Of course, Riel wanted to politely refuse at first, but after the person who came in front took out a necklace, Riel was stunned at first, and then simply agreed to the other party's invitation without saying a word.
Thinking of this, Riel also carefully took out the necklace from the space crest, the chain itself is not a great thing, but in Riel's memory, this necklace is a very important benefactor's belongings, since the other party took out this necklace for Riel to do things, Riel thinks he can't find a reason to refuse.
(But why just bring a necklace to someone and get a word of the word, instead of coming to see me in person?) Did meeting me really make you so embarrassed? )
Thinking of this, Riel also took the necklace in his hand back into the space crest with a gloomy expression.
(When will I see you again?) Sister Lucina...... )
With a vigorous flick of his head, Riel threw all these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and then, striding towards the Solancia City Lord's Mansion.
After the last incident, the city protector of Solancia City was replaced by Maggie, who has several relationships with Riel, and has the experience of fighting side by side once, plus the two sides can be regarded as looking up to each other, so they quickly became acquaintances when they came and went.
As for the mage who was ordered by the Magic Association to go to the ruins with Riel this time, he can also be regarded as an acquaintance of Riel, and it is the other mage Erin Migar who came with Maggie in the previous incident.
Riel was already a regular visitor to the City Lord's Mansion, and after casually greeting the doorman in charge of the guard, he also decisively succeeded in getting permission to enter, and after entering the door, he discerned the direction a little, and walked towards the target.
After coming to the place, I found that Erin and Maggie were already present, and the two of them were also acquaintances, this time Maggie's work transfer could be regarded as a promotion, and as soon as he entered the door, Riel heard the sound of the two joking with each other.
"Ha Luha, the city protector, you can be regarded as majestic now, not only the subsidies provided by the association, but also the salary paid by the city lord, and the usual work is considered leisurely, what a good luck~"
Facing the ridicule of her old friend, Maggie could only smile and shrug her shoulders.
"But you also know that I'm born to like to run around, and I really don't want to do it if this city protector has a choice, there is always an illusion that I'm sent to the frontier, haluha~"
The two were chatting when a familiar voice interjected.
"If your words are heard by the city lord, it will be a big trouble, Brother Maggie~"
Hearing this voice, Maggie and Erin also decisively stopped the conversation, and at the same time smiled kindly at Riel who entered the door.
"Hehe, that's what I'm saying, if Your Excellency Lucar knew that I was arranging to be in his city behind my back to be a frontier, he would definitely not give me a good look, ha, ha, after all, he is my top boss, and I still expect him to pay me a salary, just now, please treat the two of you as if you didn't hear it, thank you~"
After that, he also reached out kindly and patted Riel on the shoulder.
"By the way, Erin, if you have a chance on the road, you have to communicate with Riel a lot, let me tell you, this kid is a baby, and I'm afraid that even my teacher will be ashamed of what he has in his head, you see~"
While speaking, Maggie raised his hand and waved, and a golden rune immediately appeared in his palm, and at the same time, a silver rune of the opposite shape was printed on a quilt on the table not far away, and when the two runes were formed, a suction force came from the golden rune in Maggie's hand, and the cup was instantly sucked into the palm of his hand.
The magic used by Maggie is the magic magnetic pole mark created by Riel, this magic is a variant of the wind attribute, the thunder attribute, to some extent, it is still counted in the branch of wind magic, Maggie is originally a mage who is good at wind magic, and the grade of this magic itself is only two stars, so as soon as Riel teaches it, he naturally learns it quickly.
Although this magic is simple and the grade is not high, but the principle is novel, Maggie, as a senior mage of HR4, of course, in line with the identity of the senior, it is impossible for Riel to suffer, so he naturally took out the high-level magic he mastered in exchange.
Ariel, who came from the era of the information explosion in his previous life, also accepted the spirit of information sharing in his previous life, of course, information sharing does not mean that everything can be exchanged, but it is only the current level of information exchange and sharing, which is very beneficial to him in Riel's opinion, after all, one two-star magic can be exchanged for two three-star magic from Maggie, and it is all earned by Riel.
As for Maggie's idea, it is also very simple, firstly, as a senior, he is embarrassed to let the juniors suffer, since Riel calls him Brother Maggie, he naturally has to show some courage, and secondly, he is also very optimistic about this junior with very high qualifications, so he naturally wants to help if he can.
And Erin's eyes lit up when she saw Maggie's hand, and after asking clearly, she also chuckled, and reached out to hook Ryel's neck.
"Ha Lu, I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability, a rare opportunity, when the time comes, let's have a good exchange on the road, rest assured, my sister won't let you suffer~"
Erin, as a fire mage, even if she is a woman, has a very bold personality, and her demeanor is quite a bit of a woman's taste, and she has no scruples about the gender between the two parties, and a random action makes Riel almost blush, but Erin seems to be very satisfied with Riel's performance, and her smile is even more cheerful.
After a few casual idle words, the three of them finally chatted about business, as mages, they are high-ranking existences in the eyes of ordinary people on weekdays, even if they have the heart to make friends, ordinary people may not be able to have a good relationship with them, and the people they usually meet are either interested in their identities to stammer, or they have something to ask for to please Lu, which also makes them feel more and more that there are no friends around them who can really say a few words.
But in the face of Ryel, who is also a mage and has a very good personality for them, it is natural to get together easily, and there is no concern between the words that come and go, and it still feels good to interact with friends, you don't have to think about anything, just do it casually, if you can have two more friends like this, life will definitely be much more glorious.
However, jokes between friends are jokes, and of course work and business can't be sloppy, but since it's a conversation between friends, the tone naturally doesn't need to be too serious.
After explaining some details, Riel, who was about to leave, also thought of something, and set his eyes on Maggie, but before he could speak, Maggie laughed and gently pushed him.
"Hehe, let me guess, you kid want me to take care of the Crimson Constellation for you? You can rest assured, I don't dare to say anything else, but in this Solancia City, if someone wants to trouble the Crimson Constellation, he must let him pass me first~"
Relationship between Rare and Crimson Constellation...... To be precise, it is the relationship between Riel and Safilie, which can be seen by any discerning person, and it is still Maggie and Erin, who are also quite sophisticated people, naturally they know that Riel will not be able to come back for a month, and he will definitely worry about the safety of important people, since Riel called Maggie a big brother, and he also recognized this title, he gave a little care and convenience within his ability, anyway, it was just a gesture for Maggie.
With this guarantee, Riel also breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, plus the magic crystal he gave to Sapphiri for emergency communication, although it is not foolproof, but after all, it can be regarded as a certain insurance, so he can also feel a little more at ease when he goes out.
It's also a bit of a journey from here to the ruins, and theoretically it will take at least a few months to travel, but since it's the Magic Association's help, of course there is a way to get people to the place as quickly as possible.
So, seeing that the time was almost up, Riel also exchanged a look with the two present.
"So, get ready, it's almost time to go......"
