Chapter 1: The Raven Tavern and the Mysterious Girl
The twilight is fading, and night is falling.
This is the best time to go to the tavern for a few drinks, and after a tiring day, you have to find a place to decompress.
People with different minds get together to drink to kill their sorrows, talk about the mountains, and brag. If you are not in a good mood, you can also have a fight with those who don't like the eyes, and there is nothing more than a tavern to make them feel the meaning of life.
Naxi pushed open the door and walked into the Raven Tavern, which he came almost every day, but today he arrived a little late, and the place where he usually sat had already been occupied, and the room full of drunkards filled all the seats.
Naxi, with a dark face, still squeezed in and came to the counter. He took a closer look at the guys in front of him, and saw that one of them was drunk and unconscious.
After hesitating for a moment, he pulled out the guy who was already lying on the counter and snoring, and pushed him to the side of the corner. Although this is not authentic, no one will object to it, because the tavern keeper Victor will sometimes even kick the drunk guys out of the door so as not to hinder his own business.
Before Naxi could sit down, the sharp-eyed boss Victor caught a glimpse of him.
"Yo, isn't this our Great Magician Naxi?Why did you come so late today, could it be that your mentor was left in class to make up for his homework?" Victor deliberately raised a few decibels so that everyone knew about Naxi's arrival.
Naxi didn't care about the tavernkeeper's ridicule, he sat down and glanced at the people around him, and found that the drinking friends were there, so he raised his right hand and shouted: "Boss, it's still the old rule, let's have a glass of dark beer first." ”
"Yo, it looks like you're in a good mood, but you're so bold. Toro, the butcher sitting across Naxi, saw that Naxi had ordered a dark beer, which was somewhat unexpected. He knew very well that the poor boy Naxi hadn't drunk a few stouts a year, and that he owed more money here than he did.
"I said, did you kid have a big event, you actually drink dark beer today. Boss Victor was also a little curious about Naxi's performance. He knew very well that he would only order dark beer when Naxi was in a good mood and wanted to pretend to be forced.
Suspicion to suspicion, he still pushed a slow glass of dark beer in front of Naxi.
After a long time, Naxi slowly said, "That's right, today is indeed a good day." Because Lao Tzu—"
The tavern, which was still a little noisy, slowly became quiet at this moment, and no matter how much he drank, as long as there was still a trace of soberness, all eyes were on Naxi. Because they were all very curious about the good news that Naxi was about to say.
"Because Lao Tzu has finally graduated. Naxi couldn't contain his excitement and told him about his recent graduation from the Academy of Magic.
Know that you've been fighting for fifteen years for this exciting time today, and no one can understand your bitterness.
"Cut, I thought it was a big deal, it turned out that your kid graduated from some kind of shabby magic academy. If this can be considered news, then the blacksmith's is pregnant and can make the headlines tomorrow. John, a carpenter who has always hurt people and has no tongue, said nonchalantly. In the past two days, he has been annoyed by the blacksmith, insisting that his stupid dog has made the stronger. The puppy in my own house has not developed well, how can I go to the blacksmith's, it is really vexatious.
The culprit who caused the blacksmith's to get pregnant was Toro's Dalmatian, the butcher, who had seen the having sex with his own Dalmatian. In order to avoid the topic shifting to himself, he also joined in mocking Naxi: "Haha, you kid can actually graduate, this is too unexpected for me." Could it be that it has been unspoken by the tutor, so it will pass the final exam. ”
As soon as these words came out, the tavern burst into laughter, everyone knew that the Academy of Magic had been operating poorly in the past few years, and there had been several sensational news. For example, the surname is misplaced, and the scandal of the magic tutor who is hungry and attacks his students has once become a topic of conversation among citizens after dinner.
After this incident came out, the drunkards in the tavern often came to ridicule Naxi, whether he had protected his chastity in the magic academy, and whether he had been unspoken by his white-bearded teacher.
Unable to stand the crowd, whenever this time came, Naxi always smiled and ignored them, but in his heart he had cursed them thousands of times.
But now it's different, and his waist, who has been out of the control of the Academy of Magic, is finally worth it: "Get out of your sister, if any of you dare to make Lao Tzu unhappy today, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people." As soon as he finished speaking, Naxi pulled out his oak wand and placed it beside his left hand.
Generally speaking, in order to prevent magic trainees from causing trouble everywhere, the Academy of Magic will never let them take their magic wands out of the academy. Only magicians who have obtained a Junior Mage certificate are eligible to wear magic wands freely. So all along, no matter what happened to Naxi in the Raven Tavern, he was a man with his tail between his legs, and he didn't dare to conflict with others.
Now that Naxi took out his magic wand, those drunkards really restrained a little, and knew why Naxi was so tough.
No matter how you say that, this kid's wings finally hardened.
A man with a stick can't afford to mess with him.
Seeing that the drunkards who usually mocked him from time to time softened, Naxi was so proud that he couldn't help but ask for another glass of dark beer.
Of course, the innkeeper would not refuse such a request, although he was not afraid that the magician in front of him, who had just obtained his license, would dare to make nonsense about him, so he pushed the full wine glass over with a dark face.
"Don't be too indulgent tonight, you kid, my tavern can't stand the toss. Victor also reminded his customers, "By the way, when did you settle the money for last month's drink?" ”
To be honest, Victor was a little scared that this guy would disappear from his eyes tomorrow. You must know that magicians are stupid people who can't wait to risk their lives once they graduate, especially rookie magicians like Naxi who are penniless and eager to prove their strength. If this guy accidentally dies outside one day, then the money owed for the drink will be wasted.
Naxi can't afford to pay it back now, so he can only make a promise to repay the money again: "You have to believe in my character, I will definitely pay back the wine money at the end of the month, and I will definitely pay it back at the end of the month, you can rest assured." ”
"Oh, will a junior magician like you, who has just graduated and lost his job, have the money to pay me back?" Victor said with a sneer, "You have lost the protection of the Academy of Magic, can you still find a second way to make money? ”
The use of such an adjective is really too right and accurate, and Naxi has no reason to refute it at all. As a barely able to graduate from the Academy of Magic, he really can't find a job to make ends meet. Now he couldn't do anything other than pull out the magic wand and show it in front of these civilians.
You must know that the last thing that this country lacks is a trainee magician like him. There is also an insurmountable gap between the advancement of magicians in the magical world inspired by competition, and a waste magician like Naxi with ordinary qualifications and no illustrious family background can no longer see how far he can go.
"That, that, the Tarak Frontier Regiment once came to me, saying that they lacked a few mages in the army. Although, although it is dangerous, the pay is good, and you definitely have to pay for this drink. Nashi deliberately lied in order to continue in this tavern.
Victor, who was skeptical of this, lightly tapped the account book on the table and said, "I don't care where you go, anyway, if you don't pay back the wine money you should have paid this month, I'll have someone tie you up and throw you to the Pink Cowherd custom shop." Two days ago, the proprietress there told me that gladiators have been fond of those smooth-skinned magicians lately, so you can do it yourself. ”
"Don't scare me, Lord Victor, I'll pay it back. ”
"Whoever scares you, don't blame Lao Tzu for not reminding you when the time comes. ”
"Bang!" kicked open the door of the tavern, and the drunkards who were drinking in the tavern all stopped what they were doing. They all want to see which bastard will choose to go wild at this time, and they really don't know whether they are dead or alive.
To everyone's surprise, it was a hot girl who appeared at the door of the tavern.
The white armor can't hide the graceful figure that makes every man want to be in trouble, and the towering chest is about to come out. Even if the mysterious girl's face was a little more masculine, it still made everyone present salivate.
The Raven Tavern probably hasn't encountered such a hot chick since its inception.
Naxi, who was furthest from the door, also glanced at this uninvited guest, and couldn't help but be a little obsessed, some kind of psychological change was taking place somewhere in his body.
I don't know which pervert was the first to react from the shock and couldn't help whistling. Under his leadership, all the people were pushed to their last sanity and joined the ranks of the heckling one by one.
"Whose mother-in-law is this who looks so hot, Lao Tzu can't bear it anymore. ”
"It's so exciting, I like it. ”
"Beauty, who are you looking for, do you want to drink two glasses. ”
Seeing that the people in the tavern fell into inexplicable madness one by one, the well-informed tavern owner couldn't help but sigh and said, "Damn, this group of hillbillies who have never seen the world really won't die if they don't die." ”
Sure enough, with the help of wine, a disciple stepped forward to talk, and put his hand on the shoulders of the beautiful woman very rudely: "Beauty, be alone." Why don't we have a few drinks and relieve our boredom, and then"
Before he could finish speaking, the whole person was stuffed into the floor under his feet by the mysterious girl with lightning speed, slapping the back of her head. The whole action was completed almost in the blink of an eye, and the victim didn't even shout.
Seeing the inverted onions being stuffed into the floor, everyone was terrified. After witnessing the whole process disappear without a trace in an instant, and after understanding that the mysterious girl in front of them was a terrifying existence, they all silently turned around and picked up the cups that had already been drunk and pretended to be calm.
"Who's the magician here!" said the mysterious girl as soon as she entered the tavern.
