The smell of spring permeated Dayton, and even Durham, north of Dayton, was no longer cold, and the wind brought warmth to their faces, and the girls stripped off their heavy winter clothes, changed into thin coats and cotton dresses, and danced to the roar of men. Dresses of various colors swirled and danced with the girls' dances, long dark yellow or tawny hair fluttered in the wind, and the crowd of onlookers sang cheerful songs to accompany the girls.

After the dance, the applause and cheers were endless, and the girls ran to the side with a shy smile, and from time to time they peeked at their sweethearts in the crowd. As the crowd dispersed, Adeline and Ilsuthia retreated, and Barred was leaning against the wall at the back of the crowd waiting for them.

Ilsutia was clearly very interested in Durham's customs, and kept waving his hand at Barrede, who smiled and waved his hand. "I know that Ilsutia and Durham are my second home, and I know them very well. ”

"No wonder you don't go to see those beautiful girls dancing. Ilsutia was quiet. "I thought you had something on your mind!"

Adeline smiled and quipped, "Even if you've seen it countless times, you'll never get tired of seeing those girls' beautiful figures and dancing, what do you say, Barrede?"

Barred coughed in disguise. "I don't usually pay much attention to other women, Adeline, and I hope you can trust me. ”

Ilsutia punched Bared. "You're so boring, you can't even make a joke. ”

Barred looked at Adeline embarrassedly. "Go back and get some rest, we've been around town all morning, Lucius said he'd come and have lunch with us. ”

The two girls nodded, and the group walked back, and by the time they were some distance from the two houses next to each other, they could already see Lucius waiting for them. There was also a girl standing beside the prince, the girl's posture was very dignified, her long brown and yellow hair was coiled behind her head, her very neatly combed hair was tied with several exquisite hair accessories, a light blue dress was worn on her slender body and fit very well, the white belt set off her figure, and on the belt was a silver belt buckle, which showed the girl's purity and immaculateness.

Lucius saw the three of them coming from a distance, and surprisingly did not get angry because of the long wait, but bowed to the two girls very politely, and then looked at the girl next to him. "These are my fiancées, Mulina, and these are the mages I told you about who helped Barred and me escape from the Mage's Tower, Adeline and Ilsutia. ”

Mulina nodded politely to the two, and her elegant smile swept across everyone's faces like a spring breeze. "Thank you very much for your help, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid Lucius would have been trapped in the Mage Tower for the rest of his life. ”

Adeline and Ilsutia hurriedly returned the salute, and Adeline tried not to be compared to the prince's fiancée. "You're so kind, Mulina, in fact, Lucius and Barred have helped me a lot, and it's only natural that I'll help them. ”

Ilsutia added, "Compared to her, I'm a complete unpaid helper. ”

Mulena smiled. "I know, Ilsutia, I've brought you a lot of good stuff today, look!" said Mulena, pointing to a large box placed in front of the two girls' rooms. "These are my treasured jewelry, can you help me sort them out?"

The two mages nodded their heads in agreement, and the three girls went into the courtyard and squatted beside the boxes to talk to each other, laughing from time to time, mixed with a few screams.

Barred walked over to Lucius, and the prince tapped his friend on the shoulder. "I'm sorry, Barred, don't mind, I tried to persuade Mulina to say hello to you, but she still wouldn't. ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Barred shrugged. "I was indeed at fault and should not have put you in so much danger. ”

"She actually understands that I did it voluntarily. Lucius shook his head. "But she still thinks that if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have had the chance to go on an adventure. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's true. Barred tilted his head to look at the three girls in the yard. "Now that you've come back safely this time, don't toss anymore and live a good life with Mulina. ”

Lucius looked ahead with a serious face. "Although I was unwilling, it seemed that I could only do this, I didn't tell her in advance when I went to the Mage Tower this time, she almost went to the Mage Tower to find me in person, but was stopped by my father. ”

"Mulina is a good girl, you can't find a second girl who cares about you so much. Barred listened to the joyful laughter of the girls, and unconsciously laughed himself, and the excited figures of the three girls in front of him left a deep memory in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed in a flash, and Adeline and Ilsutia were finally about to leave Durham, and after only two months of stay, they had already fallen in love with the city, but summer was coming, and Durham would become very hot, and the two mages wanted to go north to escape the heat. Barred had nowhere to go, so he decided to go north with them, but the trouble was that the two girls disagreed on which border country to go to, which was a headache for Bared. Adeline decided to go to Doyle because she was a Doyle, while Ilsutia preferred to go to Altoona, which was easily accessible from Durham via the Sky Bridge via Ogden.

There is no doubt that Barred eventually chose to go to Doyle with Adeline, and Ilsuthia certainly wouldn't let the two of them go it alone, so they had to compromise.

On a gloomy morning, two mage girls and Barred stood at the gate of the castle, and Lucius and Mulena saw them off. It can be seen that Mulena is also very reluctant to let the two mages leave, and in the past two months, the three girls have established a deep friendship and become friends who talk about everything, the three of them hold each other's hands, and their heads come together to say something.

Lucius and Barred hugged goodbye, the two patted each other on the back, and said words of blessing, Lucius did not forget to persuade Bared not to be too attached to Adeline, that would only make him a bull. Barred had already gotten into the horns, and now he had to promise a perfunctory promise.

Lucius walked to the other side to say goodbye to Adeline and Ilsutia, who had also experienced danger together and fought to get out of it together. Mulena glanced at Bared, who was standing on the side, hesitated, but walked over and hugged him. "Bared, thank you for not taking Lucius away this time, you know, I don't know how to live without him. ”

"I'm sorry, Mulina, I know your feelings for him, and I won't talk to him about adventures again. Barred closed his eyes and patted Mulina on the back.

Mulena sighed, then remembered something, and whispered in Bared's ear, "Adeline and Ilsuthia are both good girls, and you are not too young, it is time to settle down." ”

Barred smiled helplessly. "They're all mages, and it's hard to settle down in one place, but I take your advice, I think I've fallen in love with Adeline. ”

Mulena let go of Barred and looked at him with a smile. "I'm glad you've found your home, don't let her down. ”

"I swear I won't. Barred looked at Mulina earnestly. "But I'm sure she'll accept it. ”

"It's up to you to fight for it. Mulina said slowly, looking at Adeline on the other side. "Based on my observations over the past two months, she must have a crush on you, and you are very promising. ”

Hearing Mulina say this, Barred immediately came to his senses and no longer took the sadness of parting seriously.

The three of them rode away on their mounts, and Lucius and Mulena stood at the gate of the castle for a long time, until the figures of the three disappeared from sight for a long time, and then reluctantly turned back and walked towards the castle.

Layers of dark clouds covered the sky, which was a good thing for the trio, as Durham was already a little hot in late spring, and the sky was cooler without the sun. At this time, neither Bared, Adeline, nor Ilsutia could have imagined what strange things would happen in their future journeys, and how those events would have a permanent impact on their relationship, and even the trajectory of each person's life would be changed forever. They will eventually realize that their efforts and struggles are so powerless and vulnerable under the tricks of fate.
