Chapter 20: A Chance Encounter in the Garden
Ye Zi didn't know what happened to Xiao Chen and them. The reading room she was in was very crowded, with only two or three apprentices looking up information for their mentors. She put a copy of "Secrets of the Ancient Times" back on the shelf, rubbed her sore eyes, and walked out of the reading room.
Probably because of the relationship between the natural temple, there is very little information about the ancient gods, Ye Zi guessed that even if there were such books, it was estimated that they were in the private library of those great magicians. She saw that there was no movement on Xiao Chen's side, so she went downstairs to the garden on the ground floor, ready to move her hands and feet, and take a breath.
The garden on the first floor is actually quite large, except for the doorway to the five magic towers, the rest of the place is divided into more than a dozen large and small spaces by columns, shrubs and stone walls, which has a winding path.
There were also very few people in the garden, and the Magic Guild was not a place to relax, and most of the mages and retinues had not had time to occupy the room, and very few people were here to spend their time.
Walking through a stone-paved corridor, Ye Zi suddenly heard a faint cry. The cry was small, coming and going, and if it weren't for the silence around her, she would have ignored it.
Ye Zi walked in the direction of the sound, listened carefully with bated breath, and found that it was a child's voice. She went around a stone wall, through a wooden archway, and from behind the bushes, she saw a little boy, sitting on a long wooden chair, sobbing one after another.
The little boy looked like he was seven or eight years old, with rare purple hair, and was wearing the robes of a magic apprentice, and he looked pitiful when he shrunk there.
"Hey, kid, are you okay?" Ye Zi looked at it for a while and couldn't help but ask.
The boy suddenly stopped crying, turned his head with tears on his face, and looked at Ye Zi with a shocked expression, "Ghost, you, who are you!How could you come here?"
In order not to be eye-catching, Ye Zi was wearing samurai clothes, with a long-sleeved shirt on the left side and close-fitting trousers on the bottom, which showed off her slender and toned figure. No matter how you look at it, she is a Peugeot girl, and she is said to be a ghost by a little child, and she is instantly angry, "You kid, what are you talking nonsense, who are you ghosts?
"Who said I cried. The boy quickly wiped his sleeve on his face and said angrily, "Woman, you have broken into my forbidden place. I, I'm going to ......"
Ye Zi walked over, stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, and looked down at him condescendingly: "Child, what do you want?"
The child boy was forced to lower his head by Ye Zi's eyes, and pouted, "It's not good." ”
"Tell me, what's your name?"
"Javier. ”
"Ha, the name is the same as the king's sissy son. Ye Zi smiled, but she soon noticed that the little boy's face had turned into a pig's liver.
Shame and writhing intertwined on his face at the same time.
"I'm not a sissy. The little boy did not dare to shout, but only whispered in a low voice.
"What? Are you ......?"
The little boy nodded aggrievedly.
It's a little embarrassing, Ye Zi scratched his head a little embarrassed, sat on the stone bench beside him, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I also heard other people's nonsense, I didn't expect to meet a little prince here." ”
When Prince Xavier saw Ye Zi speak, his expression was very sincere, and he lowered his head and shook his head: "Adults say this about me, and children bully me like this." And my sister, who also thinks I'm not a man. Anyway, so many people look at me like that, and it's not good if you're alone. ”
Hearing the little boy say this, Ye Zi felt a little sympathetic to him, she leaned up to him and asked, "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't make a casual judgment on a person I don't know." Hey, tell me, why do you think it's strange for me to walk in? Isn't this the garden of the Magic Society? There weren't many people, but I saw several people walking around the garden. ”
Javier was really attracted by her question and no longer dwelled on sissy things. He raised his hand a little smugly and pointed to a white bracelet on his left hand. The bracelet is decorated with simple and rustic decorations, all white, and inlaid with a circle of black gemstones, "Because of this, it can form an enchantment, and people outside can't hear or see here." If you want to come over, you will be kicked out. Anyway, I just can't get in. ”
"Really, but I'm far away from hearing your cry. Otherwise I wouldn't have come over. Ye Zi said.
"Could it be that something is wrong with the God of War bracelet?" Javier shook it as he looked at the bracelet again.
"Does this bracelet have anything to do with the God of War?" Ye Zi glanced at the tattoo on the shadow gun on his hand, and suddenly understood.
"Well, it's a gift from my mother, I heard that it was an artifact made by the god of war in the past, and it has some other uses, anyway, it can protect me, so I have always carried it. However, I've been here several times and no one has ever been able to find out. ”
"You've cried more than once. Ye Zi said.
"No! I ......," Javier looked up.
"Alright. Tell my sister, why are you crying?" For this kind of fourth and fifth grade child, Ye Zi naturally ignored his identity and habitually rubbed his head with his hands.
Javier glanced at her secretly, his face flushed slightly, "I can't learn the magic that the teacher taught me." Everyone else who studied together, everyone learned, but I just couldn't. I took advantage of the break to sneak down there to practice, but it still didn't work. ”
"What kind of magic did you study?"
"Ignition. Javier said embarrassedly, "My teacher is Master Gabriel of the Tower of Radiant Wings, and he specializes in light and fire magic. So the first two spells we started learning were Light and Ignition. I, I've learned the art of light, you see. ”
A ball of light lit up in Javier's hand, and the brightness was very high and stable. "I'm the last to learn the Light Technique, but it's the most powerful when it comes out. But I can't learn how to ignite. ”
This spell ...... Like the Light Technique, Ye Zi knew that almost everyone who had learned magic would do it. If you were a smart person like Xiao Chen, you might learn it in a few minutes. Even Nina can use this spell to light a fire and cook.
"How long have you been studying?" asked Ye Zi.
"It's been three days. ”
"What about the other apprentices?"
"It took them half a day at the fastest and two days at the slowest to learn. Javier said dejectedly, "I don't feel anything yet." ”
"I heard that your mother, the queen, is also a magician, didn't you ask her?"
"The queen mother also tried to help me, but to no avail. She said that Master Gabriel was much better than she was in this area. ”
"Sister...... Sister, are you also a magician? Can you help me?"
