Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ellie the Mage
Lin Yanxiao and the others said goodbye to Tom Fabre, and this mean-looking but actually warm-hearted old man gave him and Ellie a copy of the introductory mage study material, and invited them to come to the association often. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before leaving, Lin Yan smiled and asked, "Can the magic circle in the association lead to the Ottoman Empire?"
Tom Fabre replied with some incomprehension: "To be honest, the association's magic circle has not been used for a long time, if you want to go to the Ottoman Empire through this teleportation array, I can repair it according to the notes left by my predecessors, but you need to bear the elemental gems needed for teleportation...... Doyle's Guild does not have elemental gems to support your teleportation. ”
Elemental gems are essential for mages, and they are often used to craft circles, set staffs, or make other spell paraphernalia, and they are expensive enough to act as their equivalents.
Lin Yanxiao had a lot of gold coins in his backpack, but he didn't know where to buy elemental gems, and it was estimated that Doyle didn't have a store that sold spell tools in this situation.
Lin Yanxiao rejected Farke's proposal to take the carriage back to the palace, he looked at Ellie and asked, "Can you walk back to the palace from here?" The palace is located on the highest hill, and the Mage Guild is on the same central axis as it, and the houses where the nobles gather are separated by it. If you walk back on foot, it will take about half an hour, and Lin Yanxiao doesn't know if these two little girls can afford to eat.
"Don't worry, Lord Skeleton, we're not afraid of getting tired. Ellie had a small chest, and a shiny mage badge hung from her flat chest.
Doyle's main road is not wide, only for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through, and the terrain is undulating and hilly. The road where the nobles lived was fairly smooth, and most of Doyle's people were regulars, and although they were commoners, they found good jobs in the nobles' homes, such as gardeners.
So this afternoon, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, a man or a woman, an adult or a child, they have all witnessed such a strange picture.
Two identical-looking beautiful young ladies in lace dresses walked side by side with an umbrella in front of them, followed by a strange tall man, in a black cloak, who looked thin and weak, and a familiar face, who wore Doyle's gray knight's uniform and a long sword at his waist, and stood guard behind them. What's even more strange is that these four people are obviously followed by a carriage, but these four people have no intention of giving up walking.
"So if I have a chance, I can't be a noble lord, I really don't know what they think every day. The sun-burned man with a broom in his hand stood at the door of a beautiful house, squinting at them, muttering to himself.
Seeing this strange procession, more and more people stopped what they were doing and walked out, some of them were standing by the nursery, some were smoking pipes and talking, and some were women, their attention was all on Ash and Ellie's skirts.
Ash Ellie looked at her people with some nervousness, their identities were not difficult to guess, especially when they were relatively approachable.
"Oh, it's Princess Ash-Ellie. Someone finally spoke up. "Why are they walking so hard, is it because the carriage is broken?"
Obviously, there was nothing wrong with the carriage, and the coachman looked at the people walking in front of the carriage depressedly, he did not understand what these adults were going to do, and he trembled in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to control the horse well and crash into them.
Ellie noticed that no one noticed the badge on her chest, and she deliberately moved the umbrella back to make eye contact with them. Seeing the princess's kind smile, these people slowly relaxed, and they even spoke their doubts.
"Your Royal Highness, Great Princess, why don't you ride in the carriage?"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, is the king's health better, and has the Lord Gust with the Holy Light cured him?"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, will the tax really be reduced next year?"
"Princess ......"
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Lin Yanxiao simply stopped, he pointed at those curious people, and then pointed at Ellie.
"You want me to answer their questions?" Ellie reacted instantly. Lin Yan smiled and nodded, leading them to an open high place, and people gathered around at once. Ash took the umbrella from Ellie and looked at her encouragingly.
Ellie cleared her throat and stepped forward.
"My dear people, I am your princess Ellie. As you know, with the help of His Excellency Gust, my father, the king of this country, has begun to recover and will soon be able to return to governing the country. "She is worthy of being a princess of a country, even if she is young, she still has a little posture.
"And taxes ......" Ellie looked at Lin Yan tentatively, Lin Yan smiled a little, and she hurriedly said, "Taxes will also be reduced!"
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, Ellie looked at them with a smile, her eyes becoming more and more determined, if she had not understood before, standing in front of Doyle's people, she understood for the first time what responsibility was.
"Be quiet, be quiet, I still have something to say. Ellie raised her hands and pressed down, the crowd quieted down very strongly, Ellie raised her hand and said, "I have good news for you here, and I will answer your first question." ”
"My dear people, do you see any difference between me and my usualness?"
"What's the difference?" the people looked at Princess Ellie strangely, and you repeated the question meaninglessly. I don't know who suddenly shouted, "It's more beautiful than before!"
It's like flipping a switch, and the crowd begins to speak actively. "Princess Ellie has grown taller!" "Wearing a dress I haven't seen before" "Hair has grown". Lin Yanxiao raised his hand and slapped his head hard, these people are really "cute" and terrible.
Ellie blushed at what they said, until a man's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "Look at Princess Ellie's chest, with a badge!"
"Badge?!"
"Really, but it's different from what I've seen, is it true that the nobles keep this kind of badge now?" someone speculated.
This speculation immediately drew denials from others, "No, no, no, no one will wear a badge casually, this is a status symbol." ”
Or the man who really answered Ellie's question, he glanced at Ellie's badge, and compared the badge on the chest of the knight guarding the princess, and finally he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "We fools, this is the mage badge!
The news was like a depth charge detonating in the crowd, causing a heated discussion after discussion, and they looked at the badge on Ellie's chest with envy and surprise.
"I didn't know that the princess was a mage before, why did she suddenly wear a mage badge?" The crowd was full of this kind of question, and some people even wanted to walk forward to see what the badge looked like, but they were quickly stopped by Farke.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Ellie said, "I am wearing a mage badge on my chest, and I will no longer be Princess Ellie, but Mage Ellie!" Ellie's face was full of excitement for a child of this age, and there was a shyness and reserve in her eyes, but she still showed her grace and generosity, like people showing their joy.
