Chapter 25: Fascinated

Lucius and Bared, accompanied by Ethiyès, visited some of the most distinctive classrooms and laboratories in the Wizard's Tower, some of which also had mages working in them, and the light and sound of magic amazed them. The older mage was so surprised by the two visitors that he almost ignored their presence, while the young mage and apprentice were drawn to each other, pointing at each other, and at Etish's reprimand, they immediately lowered their heads and concentrated on their studies.

After all, Lucius had been here with his parents before, so he got tired of walking around for a while, but it was difficult to say it because of his face. Barred was actually out of interest for a long time, he just wanted to let him act alone, so that he could go to Adeline immediately, but he thought about it, and he really let him go and didn't know where to look.

In a room with a golden stone door, several mages were sitting on blankets on the floor, listening intently to an old mage's lecture, this classroom had far fewer students than the others, but Barred was excited to find that there was a figure he had been expecting. Adeline sat by the window, the sunlight shining on her outside the window, making the girl look warm and quiet, and the serious and dignified side face made Barred throb for a while.

Etiyesh introduced the two of them, "This is the Light Magic Classroom, where all mages who learn light magic need to be instructed by their mentors. ”

Lucius looked at the sparse number of students. "There are so many fewer students here than in other classrooms. ”

"Yes, light magic is more difficult to learn than elemental magic, and it's not very versatile, so there aren't many mages to learn. "It's also important to note that there are very few mages who have a talent for using light magic, so it's hard to find a suitable student to study light magic. ”

"In that case, then why learn such thankless magic?" asked Bared.

Etiyesh smiled. "Because light magic has a special effect on dealing with the Dark Tide, in recent times, we should strengthen the teaching of light magic. ”

"I see. Lucius nodded, not wanting Barred to walk towards the window on his own.

Barred walked up to Adeline almost on tiptoe against the wall, without making a sound, which was not difficult for an experienced mercenary, and then he stood there, staring at Adeline's face.

The sunlight made Adeline's long golden hair show a soft glow, and Barred almost looked stupid, at this moment, Adeline finally noticed the abnormality on her side, and suddenly turned her head, only to see Barrede's focused eyes, and the girl immediately lowered her head shyly. "Ba ...... Barred, why are you here?"

Barred also came to his senses. "Ah...... Sorry, I'm just here to visit, and I apologize if I bother you. Then he bowed to the old mage in front of him and apologized. "I'm sorry, but please continue. ”

The old mage looked at Adeline and asked if she needed to go out and talk to the reckless Mr. Knight, but Adeline blushed and refused. "Bared, you're here to only distract me. ”

"Yes......" Barred pouted in disappointment. "Alright then, I'm out, sorry. ”

After Barred left, Adeline exhaled in relief, and the other female mage on the side smiled evilly and raised an eyebrow at her. "That handsome Mr. Knight seems to have been smitten by you, so you might as well take this opportunity to trick him into being your bodyguard. ”

"No, he's just here to visit. Adeline quickly denied it.

The girl giggled. "Don't pretend, you see your face is red, do you like him too?"

"Why, how could I like him with that dumb look?" Adeline pouted.

"I don't think he's stupid, he's just fascinated by you. "The girl has a look that I know everything. "Even I kind of want to talk to him, and if I do, you're not going to stop me, are you?"

Adeline shook her head. "Of course not!"

The old mage coughed and reminded them not to talk, and the two girls closed their mouths in amusement and continued to listen attentively.

After visiting most of the classrooms in the Wizard's Tower, Etiyesh led the two to a room for a short rest, where the servant brought tea and snacks. "Please rest here for a while, the servants are already in the banquet hall, and when everything is ready, I will personally lead them to the banquet. ”

Lucius nodded in satisfaction. "Then I'm bothering you. ”

Barred paced back and forth in the room, Adeline's face and figure lingering in his mind. "I feel like I'm going crazy, it's all you, let me accompany you to this damn mage tower. ”

"Come on, you should thank me. Lucius sat leisurely in a comfortable chair, sipping fine flower tea. "Why did they prepare flower tea for us, we should have some wine. ”

"It's close to you, these flower teas must also be produced in Dayton. Barred glanced at the teacup, then sat down across from Lucius. "What do you think I'm going to do to get Adeline to accept me as her bodyguard?"

Lucius rolled his eyes. "How do I know this, I'm not a mage. ”

Barred groaned. "Didn't Dayton donate the most to the Mage's Tower, can't you exercise some right to let that great sage give me Adeline?"

Lucius squirted a sip of tea out of his mouth. "You can imagine that Dayton and the Mage Tower are only in a cooperative relationship, even if Dayton is in the position of a donor, you can't force a girl to go with you, right, if this news spreads, I won't be killed by my father?"

"What then!?" Barred frowned. "When we're done and get out of here, maybe I'll never see her again. ”

"What to do? Look at fate, look at your urgency, I really can't understand it. Lucius shook his head disdainfully.

Barred didn't care about his friend's sarcasm about him, either. "You don't understand, Lucius, she's the girl I'm destined for in my life, and there won't be a second one. ”

Lucius snorted disdainfully. "You've said this several times, and I know you're not heeded any advice now, but I'll say that according to my observations, you two are not suitable. ”

"Why? Why do you say that? Where do we fit? Tell me about it?" said Bared, anxious, and asked several questions in quick succession.

"Don't worry. Lucius waved his hand. "Adeline is indeed very good, both outwardly and internally, she can be said to be one in a million, perhaps for this reason, her personality is very competitive, which makes her unwilling to lose to others, including men, so except for those who are highly respected, such as the Great Sage or the King, it is difficult for her to listen to the advice and opinions of others, on the contrary, she will definitely ask others to listen to her. ”

"So what?" Barred looked up and looked at Lucius disapplaudively.

"Do you think you're a man who is at the mercy of others?" Lucius asked rhetorically.

Barred was silent for a few seconds. "Of course not, I'm the one who came up with the idea, and I'll suffocate if I have to be at the mercy of others. ”

Lucius spread his hands. "Isn't that enough? Do you think you and Adeline will last long?"

"It's ......," Barred was momentarily speechless.

Lucius smiled and picked up his teacup. "To be honest, I think Elon Han is a good fit for Adeline, he looks like a strict follower and doesn't have any ideas, and I guess Doyle's military life made him like this. ”

"Hell!" Barred cursed, "I won't give up, whether it's suitable or not!"

Lucius snorted twice and didn't say anything more, he knew the character of Barrede's friend, and he wouldn't give up hope until the last moment. Lucius had always thought that this trait of Barred was a good thing, but now he didn't think that way anymore.
