"The pyroxene elves are the remains of creatures that we found in the pyroxene mines about two hundred and forty years ago. The origin of these creatures is not yet particularly clear. However, based on the information held by the six mage towers, it is likely that this creature is a magical creature living in the Second Age of Magic, and it may also have the ability to release magic-"

Luna stands on the podium, holding a thin bamboo pole in her hand. A half-human-tall teak shelf stood beside her, with pyroxene the size of a human head on it. Inside the pyroxene, a small, winged creature condensed.

"Teacher! Are they alive? Some students asked questions, their eyes curious.

"So far, all the pyroxene elves we have found have shown no signs of activity, and there is no sign of life, and now it is unanimously judged that their race should be extinct."

"Teacher, is it because of the second great demon tide?" Another student asked, and Luna glanced at the student who asked and quietly jotted down his name. These children who were screened 5 years ago are now in their teens, Luke? Master Brewster didn't have that much energy to bring so many apprentices, and his apprentices took over the task of enlightening these children.

"The inference now goes like this. Can any of you tell me what happened to the Second Great Tide? Luna, who loves to ask questions and interact with each other, was taught by her mentor as a child, and she benefited a lot. The current kids like her too, and she's got good grades on the history of magic and the mechanical architecture of magic.

"I'm coming!" , or was it just that kid, Gugu? Litgaard. Luna gave him an affirmative look and watched him stand up.

"The second great demon tide made the magic power scattered in the world converge on the pyroxene, and since then the world has entered the hidden demon era from the manifest demon era, and the magicians have lost the ability to mobilize the magic power in the air to cast spells, and the pyroxene - at that time it was still called the magic crystal, has become the only source of magic power for the magicians......"

Gugu? Litgaard was a commoner child, his father worked in a textile factory, and his mother made knitting at home to earn money. When Gugu was recruited as an apprentice to the Mage Tower, his parents received a modest subsistence allowance that would be paid until the apprentice died, or when he reached the age of eighteen. The price of receiving this benefit is that parents will lose their children forever.

It may never be possible to say yes, only a small number of children who can get the best results in the annual exams can get the opportunity to see their parents. And if you want to truly change your fate, you must activate the magic sense. It's a pity that not to mention these children, even Luna herself, can't see the possibility of success on this road.

"Gugu, you said it very well, thank you."

Luna waited for Gugu to finish speaking, and praised him without hesitation. She glanced at the wall clock at the back of the classroom, the class was about to end. After class, she still has a dinner party to go to, and she has not much time to spend with these children.

"Okay, now after class, today's assignment is to write an article about the pyroxene elf, and give it to me next week, understand?"

When the children all agreed, Luna left the classroom. Her room is on the sixth floor, and to get there is a lift platform. The magic lifting system of this mage tower is said to be over three hundred years old and has been running smoothly ever since. The only problem is that pyroxene is being consumed faster and faster. Luna, who was riding on the lift platform, was in a daze, and subconsciously walked out of the lift platform and entered her room.

"Mistress Luna."

Waiting at the door is Luna's maid of life, Dylan? Warren and Mellen? Warren. Luna doesn't like the surname "Warren", which signifies serfdom, and she usually calls them Dee Dee and Mei Mei.

"Deedy, I'm going to a dinner in the evening, is the yellow banquet dress I bought from Woodford still there?"

"Yes, the waist was a little big before that dress, I helped you close the waist last week, and it has been washed and ironed, so I'll bring it to you."

Luna watched as Dee Dee went through the closet, standing on her favorite Lent plush blanket and stretching out her arms for Mei Mei to help her take off her mage robes. Mentor Luke is good at everything, but he has some bad taste in the mage's robes. Luna, like the rest of Luke's apprentices, had to be helped to shed the tight-fitting mage robes that had come off her hood.

"My lord, are you going to see the saint at night? Mr. Scott? ”

There are no secrets in the mage tower, not to mention that Luna, as the first apprentice, is watched by people in every word and deed, so naturally it cannot be kept secret.

"Well, I don't like him, but the teacher has already promised him, what can I do."

Meren had already taken off Luna's mage robe by this time, revealing a young carcass wearing only a small coat under the robe. Luna looked at the woman in the mirror and brushed her hand over her body.

"Adults have such a good figure, a man will want it", Mellen's temperament is more straightforward, "But it's normal for adults to look down on them, if adults can stimulate magic sense, then they are the next generation of archmages, more powerful characters than kings, and the Pope is on the same level, at that time, not to mention archbishops, cardinals we can't even look down on!" ”

"Magic sensing isn't that easy."

Mei Mei's words poked Luna's pain point, she was a little depressed, reached out and took the dress that Dylan handed over, and asked the two of them to help her put it on. Dylan's needlework was better than Mellen's, and the dress was made of Woodford's famously mechanical silk, which was expensive. However, Luna is now thinner than when she bought the clothes, and if she doesn't wear them, Luna is not in the mood to wear anything else for the time being, so she asks Didi to close her waist.

"It worked great! My Didi is the best! ”

Mellen was still fast-talking, and Dylan stood beside him, waiting for Luna to try almost before he said a few words.

"My lord, this material can't stand it, I don't dare to put on too much of the waist line, be careful when you wear it, don't make too many movements, okay?"

"Got it, I wasn't going to dance with that guy anyway."

Luna nodded, and asked Merlen to take off her clothes again. With just over two hours to go, she has to lie down in bed for a while before picking out her jewelry.

------

See Luna? Brewster got out of the carriage when the Tritheistic Archbishop of Roseville St. Scott's eyes were full of amazement. The Magister's apprentice, who had always been known for his beauty, wore a long yellow dress glowing with silver light, a thin veil draped over his shoulders, and his hair was tied up at the back of his head and held in place by a blue pyroxene hairpin. Her deep green eyes and long golden red hair shone like crystals in the glow of the pyroxene pillar at the entrance of Scott's mansion.

"It's an honor for you to come to my dinner."

Scott stepped forward, reached out, and helped Luna out of the tall carriage. Luna's hand was thin and soft, soft in Scott's palm.

"It's my pleasure, too, Lord Scott."

Luna replied politely, her eyes already looking at the foyer not far away, where the glow of pyroxene shone together. This time Scott hosted a small dinner, and there were not many people in the lobby. Luna and Scott move forward hand in hand, quickly blending in with the guests.

Although it is a small dinner, this kind of social dinner, eating is never the main purpose of the people attending the banquet. Luna was also mentally prepared to eat a piece of cake before heading out, so she didn't show any interest in the food on the long table on either side. Scott seemed glad she was here, staying with her and chatting with the guests. Objectively speaking, you can hear a lot of interesting information at such a dinner, and the chat between the female guests can also bring out some gossip.

"I heard that the weavers in Ronninger went on strike, and the police arrested a lot of people, and it seems that there are still dead people."

The person who spoke was Anne? Brett, whose husband, Count Bret, is the head of the National Police Agency and has a lot of first-hand information on law and order.

"That's terrible, why are those workers on strike?" Luna gently covers her lips in surprise as Scott stands beside her, holding a glass of sparkling wine.

"Said that there was a problem with the textile machine, and a worker died, and they asked Dan, who was in charge of the factory? Baron Stowell paid for the care of the workers' families and also demanded additional safety equipment. The people of the Stowell family are only willing to buy a baron for a title, how can they do such a waste of money? ”

Mrs. Brett's tone was contemptuous, as if she was a little ashamed to have to be in the company of someone like Stowell. Luna smiled softly and chimed in.

"According to the deviant book of the Havari Archmage, Stowell is a capitalist, and capitalists and the working class are inherently opposites, so it is normal for them to fight."

"Havari? The dead Magister of the Third Republic of Fern? What book did he write? Mrs. Brett was a little confused by Luna's words, "I've heard my husband say the word capitalist, and it seems to be hot lately?" ”

"It's not an interesting book, ma'am, you won't like it."

Scott gives Luna a look and diverts the subject. Luna was a little puzzled, but Scott took her out of the circle just now as if she was fine, and then whispered to her: "Havare's "On Capital" is already a banned book in many places, it doesn't matter if you read it, but it's better not to publicize it on this occasion. ”

Luna raised an eyebrow at Scott to indicate that she understood. Scott is so blown away by her movements that he invites Luna to dance with him just as the dance floor begins. Luna excuses herself to be unwell and rests on the dance floor. According to her plan, coming to the dinner party was to save face for the teacher and Scott, but she didn't want to be too wronged by herself when it came to dancing.

"Fifth Prince Dawn? His Highness Gibson to—"

The doorman's roll call surprised Luna, who was watching the dance floor in a daze, how could Gibson be here? She couldn't think of the reason for a while, and she didn't want to know why. Luna took a deep breath, exhaled, and adjusted herself before walking towards His Royal Highness the Prince, who was surrounded by a crowd in the distance. Scott she didn't care, but the fifth prince was very fond of her. Scott, who had just been dancing on the dance floor and heard His Royal Highness the Prince drive to a halt, saw Luna's movements, he was expressionless, reached out and touched the stubble at the corner of his mouth, and also greeted him.

"Saint? Archbishop Scott, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my patrol mission for tonight was completed ahead of schedule, and I remembered that you still have a dinner party, so I hurried over, I hope you don't mind. ”

Gibson politely apologized to Scott, explaining why he was there. Scott did send him an invitation, but members of the royal family rarely attended such dinners, so Scott didn't expect Gibson to come. After a brief period of crowding and panic, the people gradually got used to the presence of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they crowded him to the dance floor.

Dawn? Gibson is the fifth son of His Majesty King Anken Rein and the most promising prince to inherit the throne. The ladies and girls present flocked to him like stars around the moon, hoping to get the glory of dancing with him. Gibson's eyes flicked over a dozen faces, meeting Luna's somewhat eager dark green pupils.

"Excuse me, this beautiful Duchess, may I dance with you?"

"Of course, my Highness."

Luna bent her leg slightly, resting her right hand on Gibson's palm, and her left hand lifted the corner of her skirt and bowed her head. Scott watched from a distance behind the two of them, his eyes inexplicable.

The prelude to the music sounds, is it Aga? "A Walk in the Woods" by Dash, one of Luna's favorite dance songs. The intro is gentle, but the climax is intense, and the accompanying dance steps are also passionate. Luna has practiced the piece countless times at the Mage's Tower, and Gibson has been her imaginary dance partner for most of the time.

Dawn? Prince Gibson and Luna stand looking at each other, and as the music progresses, Luna puts her hand on Gibson's shoulder and smiles at him. Gibson stared sideways at the First Apprentice with a gentle look in his eyes. The two of them froze for a moment, and then began to dance to the music.

The others on the dance floor had quietly stepped out of the way, giving all the focus and eyes to the prince and the girl. The two stepped forward and backward in the light of the pyroxene, spinning and leaning back from time to time, Luna showed off the results of her countless exercises, and Gibson was like the perfect dance partner, and Luna worked perfectly together, like a pair of golden boys and girls.

The tempo of the music picks up, and the dance reaches its most intense part, where Luna leaps from Gibson's arms, spins twice in the air with one foot propped up, and then falls gently into Gibson's arms. Luna has practiced this move countless times, and there has never been a problem. She danced to the beat of the music, one hand a little harder. Gibson sensed her need and took her hand.

Here we go.

This is the most beautiful dance in "A Walk in the Woods", Luna uses one foot to exert her strength, leaning on Gibson's arms and her own body, like a beautiful butterfly flying in the light, her body spinning lightly in the air, and the yellow silk dress dancing with her movements, like streamer wings.

It doesn't get much more beautiful than that.

Luna thought.

"Torah—"

A screeching sound that shouldn't have happened interrupted the music abruptly, and Luna felt a chill at her waist, and her slim and light dress suddenly became heavy. She followed the beat of the music back into Gibson's arms before she had the heart to check her clothes. Only then did she realize that before she knew it, her favorite silk dress had a big opening at the waist, revealing the white corset inside.

"Oh! The mentor is on top! ”

Luna let out a low exclamation, and a low murmur erupted from the crowd of onlookers. Luna felt all the blood in her body rush to her head in an instant. Faced with this sudden surprise, Luna couldn't think of any other solution, even though she was able to read through all the books in the Mage Tower's library. With little hesitation, Luna decisively chooses the only way she has the option to cope.

She groaned softly and fainted.
