Something glittering will always attract the eye -

For example, diamonds and jewelry, when they shine in the light, always bring a burst of screams of amazement; And there are some existences, but they are more dazzling and brilliant than such brilliance: talent.

Talented people, praised by the world, are far more beautiful than the so-called diamonds and jewels exude brilliance, even if some diamonds and jewels have reached the same status, it is only because of the people who have worn them - just as any diamond and jewelry needs light to be able to exude their own brilliance; And those who are talented, they are not needed at all, they themselves are radiant and dazzling.

Of course, such brilliance and dazzling will inevitably be accompanied by a considerable amount of trouble—while being admired and respected by others, jealousy and slander will also follow, and the latter is far more ferocious and powerful than the former, which makes people feel suffocated; After all, the former requires countless accumulations, while the latter only needs one time.

Countless examples of world-famous masters, who are not guaranteed to be in their late seasons, simply abound; Although people do not forget their achievements, in these achievements there will always be those things that are 'pleasing to hear' - the inferior nature of man, at this time, it is simply revealed; Even wizards who have always believed that they are seeking wisdom are no exception, especially when the other party is very young.

The four wizards who walked towards Doug Jr. and Xsol were all very young people like this—the eldest of them was only about twenty years old in Yedge's observation. And the youngest is about the same as his female disciple. only fifteen or sixteen years old; But. The youngest wizard, although she was a woman, could tell that she was the leader of this small group.

"Hello, Your Excellency!"

The slightly older male wizard of the four made a wizarding salute to Ye Qi with an apologetic smile on his face - apparently, the slightly sticky male wizard had already begun to apologize to Ye Qi in advance, hoping that Ye Qi would forgive his companion for what he had done next; Although he himself understands it. With the slightly willful and foolish character of his companions, even if he apologizes in advance, he will not receive any good results.

However, something is better than nothing; After all, this is Lorante, outside of the Hailin District, an era called the rule of the supreme government, but it was controlled by several powerful forces - the era of freedom? People from the outside world are called like this, and he also plans to follow the local customs to feel the special nature of this era; According to his mentor, the age was good; As long as you don't blindly provoke some people who shouldn't be provoked.

That's right. And the so-called technology!

Although, Vauban itself has already understood some of these things in advance. It feels like a kind of continuous development like a mechanic, but when he doesn't see the real thing, he maintains his cautious attitude, and uses it as a fair conclusion that can only be reached when the result is reached.

"Hello, young man; Finger, the witcher, it's nice to meet such a courteous wizard! ”

After seeing the other party's wizard salute, Ye Qi stretched out his left hand straight - although the etiquette of that kind of action did not stump him, Ye Qi still liked to accept it in the way he was used to.

"Vaubana, wizard; It's also a pleasure to meet Your Excellency! ”

Facing Ye Qi, who stretched out his left hand, the slightly older male wizard among the four, after being stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand, and then explained his purpose with a smile: "It's too boring to wait for the inspection; So, my companion Filsa, suggested that we go around first; After all, this is the first time we've left the Wizard's Citadel and the Sea Forest to go somewhere else, and this curiosity has been tormenting us for weeks after deciding to enter the 'Trials List'! ”

"That's right, why do you need such a troublesome inspection! We've checked it many times before we set off! How could anyone be involved! "The youngest young female wizard named Filsa, who was the leader of the four, shouted as soon as her companion's voice fell; Moreover, he turned his head to look at the remaining two companions, and under the gaze of the youngest female wizard, the latter two immediately nodded quickly.

Blind, children who decide everything with their own senses!

Looking at this Filsa, who was dressed in a brown robe, with a bird-like magic pattern woven on her cuffs, and a girl's unique vitality on her face, the youngest female wizard among the four, Ye Qi commented - obviously, the other party's behavior was the same as her age, and there was no so-called precociousness or anything like that; Looking at the three male wizards beside her, including Vauban again, Ye Qi was sure that the reason for this result was naturally because of the existence of these three people beside her; In the case of Vauban , the modesty and courtesy of the man was enough to make people feel good, and the other two, although they did not say anything, also smiled in a friendly manner when they looked at him.

To be able to join the trial opened by this 'Wizard's Path', there is no doubt that the talents of the other four belong to the elite level, especially the youngest Filsa, who may have reached the genius level, even compared with the young witch who stayed in his bar, it is not inferior - and such a talent, but not complacent, Ye Qi has already admired the so-called wizard education.

Of course, no complacency does not mean that there is no pride, young people, especially those with considerable strength, will always have such emotions; Otherwise, they would not have been able to come; Although, Ye Qi is sure that in the beginning, it was definitely proposed by Filsa, the youngest of the four.

"If you want to take a look around, it's no problem; Even if you want to leave early, as long as your mentor agrees! Ignoring Filsa's complaints, Ye Qi returned his gaze to the older male wizard of the four; And this approach obviously made Filsa feel dissatisfied, and she reminded Ye Qi loudly: "You should explain it to me." and not Vaubana; I'm the team leader! Leader. Do you understand? ”

"Your Excellency Finger. I'm so sorry! ”

The older male wizard among the four immediately threw an apologetic look at Ye Qi when he saw his companion's attitude, and Ye Qi smiled indifferently at this - it was not an apprentice taught by a mentor, Vauban was the most suitable person to lead the team; Then the mentors of the other party should be friends and the like, which can explain the relationship between the four people; Otherwise. Even because of the budding of adolescence, Filsa will not be the leader.

Ye Qi speculated that the relationship between the four of them - maybe in ordinary people, because of the budding of puberty, boys will give in to girls, but in wizards, there is no such relationship; According to the young witch's explanation, wizards pay more attention to strength and experimentation; Between men and women, for the vast majority of wizards, it is just a concoction.

"Are you his disciples?"

Seeing Ye Qi smiled indifferently. And his eyes were still not on his own appearance, Filsa, the youngest witch in the group. Immediately, as soon as his eyes rolled, he walked up to Little Doug and Xsol, who were sitting cross-legged, squatted down, looked at the two and asked.

However, this kind of questioning is a different reaction for Doug Jr. and Xsol - Little Doug still sits still in place; Although Ksol opened his eyes, he was not interested in the witch in front of him; The young people of Sennuma District, at the moment, still have a perception of women in the aspect of 'good birth'.

And the thin witch in front of him undoubtedly did not meet his aesthetics; What's more, with the hatred in his heart, he won't pay attention to these things; Therefore, the young man from Sennuma District pulled his friend directly; Then, I closed my eyes again, and I was immersed in my own state again.

"I'm yes, Xsol isn't!"

Under the pull of his friend, little Doug opened his eyes, looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, and was slightly stunned; And the youngest witch had to repeat her question again; When he heard the question clearly, Little Doug immediately stood up and replied politely - Little Doug in the previous state was abandoned to everything around him, leaving only his heart and the rhythm around him; Although he dared to know that there were several special fluctuations approaching the Dao, for Xiao Dao, who could not know the sound, the surroundings were naturally silent.

"Little Doug, Witcher; Beautiful Miss Wizard, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Little Doug stepped forward and said with a slight bow-although he didn't like the entertainment of the upper class in the Xia Lin District, but the basic etiquette, little Doug had been trained to the bone by his stubborn father; Therefore, the body reacts naturally without going through the brain at all.

Of course, the kiss of the hand and the like were forcibly pressed down by little Doug - after seeing the wizard's crucible explode, little Doug had a deep fear of the wizard's hands, and seriously said that the hands had touched things; He could clearly see the legs of many insects in the liquid that had been blown up; Although it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a spider or a centipede, or a scorpion, little Doug felt a slight twitch in his stomach after seeing the wizard apply the wound medicine and go straight to collect the materials with his hands.

Maybe the young and beautiful witch in front of her wouldn't do that, but who can guarantee that?

Because, the jealousy in his heart, little Doug's gaze swept over the hands of the youngest witch in the group from time to time, and such a gaze naturally could not escape the attention of the few people around who had been looking here, let alone the owner of the hands; Filsa, the witch, did not show the shyness of ordinary girls of the same age after being stared at by boys, but she raised her hands very generously, put them in front of Little Doug, and asked with a sly smile, "Why are you staring at my hands?" What do you see? Or do you have some idea about the owner of these hands? ”

Forehead!

Little Doug was suffocated by such a bold remark, and his whole body took a step back; Not only Little Doug, but even Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled bitterly; - At this moment, Ye Qi already understands what tricks this young witch is going to play.

In the Final Armistice Agreement, there are clear provisions; Neither the wizards, nor the supreme government, nor the Holy See, nor the witchers are allowed to fight at will again; Therefore, it is very unwise to provoke a battle in front of the 'Wizard's Path', with the wisdom of these young wizards. Naturally, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Therefore. Even if it's because of a similar age. and the similar 'genius' attribute is 'repulsed', and these young wizards will also choose a more appropriate way - then it is undoubtedly the best way to 'humiliate' little Doug in a way that only 'young boys and girls' can use, and the most that someone learns about the whole thing will at most cause a big laugh.

Good at taking advantage of their age......

It seems that among wizards, even if it is a child, it should not be underestimated!

Ye Qi, who smiled bitterly in his heart, was sure that no matter what little Doug said, he would eventually be led astray by this seemingly young witch; After a while, the people around them will be able to get several versions of the 'young witch falls in love with the young witch at first sight and is cruelly rejected by the latter' - and this is definitely not a good thing for little Doug in the presence of the Holy See; Although the witcher would not hate little Doug because of such a thing, it was definitely difficult to feel good in the ridicule of the Holy See.

Thinking of this, Ye Qi planned to say that such a thing happened; However, apparently Ye Qi underestimated Little Doug a little-

"I'm just curious about the bracelet you wear on your wrist!"

Little Doug, who was smiling, once again looked at Filsa's wrist; However, compared to the previous peek because of fear. This time, it was above board—he stepped forward and held out the straight finger of his right hand. Tapping the bracelets that were worn on the left and right hands of the other party respectively: "This method of hanging carving should be the method that prevailed in the middle and late years of the blood-colored era, plus the touch just now, they should be from that era!" It is really rare to be able to survive 500 to 550 years of preservation and have such a complete appearance! ”

"Of course, this is only from the perspective of looking at antiques!"

With a smile, little Doug added a sentence after the most - although he has only been a witcher for a few days, those magical existences have already subverted little Doug's previous cognition; So, out of an abundance of caution, Doug Jr. made additions......

Hey?!

Including Filsa, the youngest in the group, or Vaubana, the eldest, were slightly stunned after hearing Little Doug's words, especially the former, the young witch who had always taken pleasure in making people happy, but was ready to reap her success again; Therefore, in the face of the other party's ingenious resolution, Filsa was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and said loudly: "Don't think that if you say these things correctly, you can win my favor!" ”

After saying that, Filsa's eyes looked at little Doug with a touch of pride - hmph, the opponents who are more difficult than you have also been defeated by my men, and you will obediently become my subordinates!

If little Doug didn't notice it because of an embarrassment in his heart before, if little Doug hadn't discovered anything wrong at this time, he would have experienced Wall's 'teaching' to him in vain - wandering between life and death is the best ripening agent when people grow; Even if you are born with kindness and innocence, after experiencing such a ripening, you will learn the due caution and way to fight back.

Especially when little Doug often hangs out with Ksol, maybe the two of them don't notice it, and unconsciously the two of them have quite complementary personalities - and when facing the enemy, the people of Sennuma District are best at counterattacking, ruthless and merciless counterattacks.

"Favorable? Beautiful Miss Wizard, you're really kidding! As a person who doesn't even know how to wear such a precious bracelet correctly, no matter how beautiful she is, it is difficult for me to feel good! ”

Little Doug still smiled, but the breath on his body was secretly more aggressive, under this fierceness, and Little Doug was almost close, and Filsa, who was facing each other, subconsciously wanted to turn her head; However, soon the youngest witch in the group realized the mistake and shame of doing so; Therefore, she naturally took off the two bracelets by skimming her head, put them in her hands, and asked in a loud voice to Little Doug, "The correct way to wear it?" Show me how! What's ...... just talking?"

And when Filsa's words were finished, little Doug took the two bracelets from her hands, and then, after a slight symmetry, with a 'click', the two bracelets came together - before, although the two bracelets looked very beautiful, they always made people feel that there was something missing, and at this time, people finally knew what was missing.

'Heavy'!

Although the texture of gold is softer than other metals, it shows a heavy, majestic weight; Compared to the kind of dexterity and pleasing to the eye that separates; The heaviness at this moment is undoubtedly more convincing - and looking at the bracelets that are combined into one, even ordinary people understand the meaning of little Doug.

"Y-You're just a coincidence!"

Filsa obviously doesn't want to admit defeat yet, and is ready to continue to entangle, or even win back a city; However, little Doug will not give the other party such a chance-

"Perhaps! However, talking to someone who only has a beautiful appearance and no real connotation will be very distressing! Because, that would only make me think of talking to myself like a vase again! ”

"You!!"

Anger made Filsa reach out.
