Margaret deliberately wore a dark and thick suit to hide her near-perfectly proportioned figure, and at the same time combed her hair down in front of her, trying to hide the glamorous eyes that would make men swoon at any time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Margaret looked like an ordinary woman, and she was still in the middle of the line, looking down at the road until she entered the orphanage school funded by St. Golia.
"Today you won't have to study with other orphans, because you'll be taken somewhere else... Rest assured, your brother will be taken care of. Carrie, whose face and eyes were round, showed a bright smile to Margaret, and the seventeen-year-old Carrie was still gentle, and her voice was still as crisp as it had been before. It's just that now she has put away her once unrestrained heart, and stays here wholeheartedly to take care of the orphans brought back by Miss Goliath. Even if she still can't forget the journey with Avi and Fan, and wants to see Avi and Fan again, she can't abandon her responsibilities.
Margaret nodded, looking at the other newly arrived orphans. Most of the orphans cowered, looking around and looking back at the doors of the orphanage school, as if they were afraid that the bad guys who had killed their families would walk in.
The other orphans were led by Carrie and some gardeners into the school along the stone path of the garden, with only Margaret still standing. She had lived here for a long time, but now it was the winter holidays, so she could hardly see the other orphans.
After experiencing the last danger, Margaret received special treatment from the Holy Maiden Goliath, she was first protected by the soldiers sent by the Holy Maiden, and at the same time obtained the qualification to learn magical knowledge, so this time Margaret came mentally prepared. Before that, she hesitated for almost a month.
"I've been waiting for a long time. A medium-sized, curly young man with jet-black curly hair quietly appeared behind Margaret, and his voice startled Margaret who was still in a daze.
"Ahh Just waited a while... It didn't take long..."When Margaret looked back at the other party, she realized that this person was not the person she had guessed, and the young man in front of her had used cosmetics, and his skin looked particularly delicate, and his delicate face could eclipsate the average woman. Margaret wasn't disgusted by the other party's appearance, but the teenager named Luciano was obviously more relatable.
"I'm Ayrne, Miss Goliath's garden manager," a person approached in the distance behind Ayrne, "I'm also in charge of the orphanage school's garden, so I've been dealing with flowers, birds, fish, and insects longer than I'm dealing with people, Miss Margaret don't be surprised." Ayrne closes his eyes when he laughs, and looks as kind as a fisherman by the river.
Margaret smiled, too, but she soon noticed that the man behind Ayrne was the one she was expecting to see, the man named Luciano, the boy who had saved her from the village.
Luciano was of medium stature, with the simplicity of a rural boy, and he was still dressed in a white robe, just like he had been when he had defended Golia in the Battle of Doreth.
"It's... It's Miss Margaret, it's a pleasure to see you again..."Luciano was very shy, he wanted to reach out and shake Margaret's hand, but he was a little timid. Margaret immediately took the initiative to reach out and take his hand. Although Margaret lived in an orphanage school for a while, she never spoke to the usually cheerful teenager, so Margaret didn't know each other at all. And Luciano would always look away at the first time after making eye contact with Margaret, after all, normal young men would be attracted by Margaret's beauty, and most timid men would not dare to continue peeping.
Elne's smile had stiffened, "Alright, we're going to take this noble lady to meet Miss Goliath, let's go, don't look like a child who doesn't grow up." ”
Luciano stroked his hair, not daring to respond to the older Elne, who Margaret could tell that Luciano was afraid of Ayrne, who was not as approachable as he seemed. The three of them then proceeded to the depths of the orphanage, and it was not until they came to an orchard that Margaret was told that there was a secret passage to the underground palace of Doret City.
Ayrne is not only responsible for the garden, but also for guarding the secret passages. Of course, Margaret didn't know that there were secret passages here, and she didn't even know what kind of dungeon there was in Doret City, after all, there was no dungeon in cold Cosephoti, there were only underground storage rooms for food, some storage rooms dug deeply.
Although Margaret was a little uneasy in her heart, when she learned that she could spy on the mystery of magical knowledge, she summoned up the courage of her whole body and followed the two of them step by step to the depths of the underground palace. What surprised her was that the cold of Doret City did not rush into the dungeon at all, the dungeon was very warm, and even the stone walls were like blankets, which did not give people a sense of coldness at all.
When the three of them entered a larger room, Margaret saw a bookcase stacked with books on the wall. The books are arranged according to the year, with the older the year, the more books and the fewer books that are more recent. Such an unconscionable situation made Margaret want to get closer, but Luciano immediately stepped in to stop it.
"No, these are Miss Gloria's most cherished books, especially the old ones, which there is no other book in the world. As soon as Luciano reached out to stop Margaret, he was frightened by the other party's gaze, he was like a timid puppy in front of Margaret, wanting to be close and scared at the same time.
Margaret had met many timid and shy men in Corsevertiri, but Luciano was different, a man younger than her had saved him - and could do magic.
"But I'm sorry for those... I'm interested in books about magic, can't you just take a look?" "Margaret, though cold on the outside, knows the most "powerful" special skill of young women, coquettishness, after all, she is the jewel of Adam and Jack's palm.
How could Luciano resist Margaret's plea, he could only hesitantly get out of the way, and Ayrne said, "It's okay, most of the important books are written in ancient languages, and there are many complicated terms, even the royal family of the Kingdom of Cosai cannot understand them." ”
With a little unconvincing in her heart, Margaret casually picked up a book that was placed in the middle. But the truth is, as Ayrne said, that the text is all archaic, and most of the content is not easily legible, and the whole meaning of a sentence must be guessed in a readable and understandable context. There were a lot of inexplicable patterns and logos in the book, and those things made Margaret even more confused, and she quickly chose to put down the book because she was not used to specializing in esoteric things. It's just that as soon as she put down the book, she realized that she was unwilling, unwilling to be discouraged in the face of esoteric magical knowledge.
"You're here. Gloria's voice came from the moment Margaret tried to pick up the book again, causing Margaret to drop the book in her hand to the ground. Luciano had already walked up to Goliath for the first time and half-bowed. Ayrne walked over slowly, whispering a few words beside Goliath.
When Margaret carefully put the book back, she dared to turn to look at the only magician on the continent, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Oguna Empire, Golia.
Goliath wore a white robe similar to Luciano's, her body was not adorned at all, and her face was not covered with any makeup, but her skin was smoother and whiter than that of a baby. Even Margaret, who was naturally beautiful, was slightly inferior in comparison - if Margaret's appearance was the highest in the crowd, then Golia's face surpassed that of a human, and she was really like a saint.
Margaret felt as if Goliath was even more beautiful than that night, a flawless beauty.
"Miss Gloria... Much appreciated, very much appreciated..."
"Why thank me?" said Golia, who was a little shorter than the slender Margaret, "You are the princess of a great country, and you should thank you for your courage in choosing an orphanage school and a small village instead of a splendid palace. Gloria stretched out her left hand and gently placed it on Margaret's cheek, and Magalet did not feel the temperature of Gloria's palm the moment the other party touched her, like a veil as light as a cicada's wings.
"I... I want to learn magic. Margaret reacted from her stunned stup, she knew that the opportunity was in front of her, and she must show her determination.
Gloria withdrew her hand, walked over to a bookcase, and pulled out the book that Margaret had dropped on the floor. Margaret's eyes widened, why did it appear in the bookcase next door, when it was clear that this book full of content she couldn't understand was placed in the bookcase behind her?!
Before Margaret could react, Goliath said, "This book is about how to change the position of objects, and I have finished reading it, and I think it is appropriate to look at it, and the person who learns from it has not yet appeared." But since you're interested in it, I'll lend it to you for half a year. With that, Gloria handed the book to Margaret, who was a little flattered, and she was embarrassed to accept it, and then took it and placed it under the garment close to her chest, and wrapped it in two layers of clothing.
Gloria began to look at the bookcases again, "You also know that magic is real in this world, and I talked to you about 'destruction magic' that night. ”
"I remember, I remember!" As soon as Margaret heard Golia's affirmation of magic, she realized that an opportunity had come, an opportunity to make her stronger and one day use these powers to give back to her mother.
"There are many different ways to classify magic, but I usually divide magic into twelve according to the method my master said. Margaret, on the other hand, has excellent vision and a strong will, both of which are natural conditions for learning certain types of magic. ”
For the first time, Margaret was complimented on something other than her appearance, and she began to think seriously about what the other person had said.
"In the future, Luciano will learn destruction magic with you, as long as you work hard enough, you will see the results," Goliath took out another book, the cover of which was crimson, "But you must be clear, what you have learned can only be used by me, and this continent only needs one kind of magic, and that is magic that obeys my will." ”
