Chapter 133: Before the Examination (2)
The elves stood a little far away from the crowd, with the usual arrogance and disdain in their eyes, as if maintaining such an attitude could hide the fact that they were no longer the rulers of the Magic Continent, the elves wore solid wooden armor made of leather armor or elven wood, and there were many dense elven ancient trees carved on it to represent the elf family, and the beautiful magic runes were painted on the armor and weapons with gold patterns as if they were exquisite decorations, making the elves' weapons seem to be exquisite works of art. Most of the elves carried longbows and elven swords, and only a few wore green hooded cloaks, which were the elven magicians who excelled in wood magic. And their leader, sure enough, is ......
"Anivia......" Alan looked at the figure and couldn't help but whisper the name of the petite elf.
"......" Alevia seemed to sense something, turned her head and met Alan's gaze, while the two eyes intertwined, Alevia's eyes narrowed happily, but Ainevia just looked at Eren expressionlessly.
Just as Alan wanted to say hello happily, Alevia opened her eyes, only to see Aleva whispering something, ignoring Alan, who was looking at her a little blankly, and walked to the temporary tent set up behind. And a disgusting figure appeared in Alan's sight instead of Alevia, who was now blocking the door of the tent with a contemptuous smile, and at the same time blocking Alan's view, as if declaring ownership, looking at Eren defiantly.
"Anivia...... Alan muttered with mixed emotions.
"There's a reason why Ainvia behaves like this. When Cialys saw all this, she couldn't bear to see Allen's low appearance, and couldn't help but step forward and say with relief.
"I know. Alan pretended not to care and smiled at Cialis, of course, Alan knew in his heart that there must be a bitterness for Alevia to suddenly behave so coldly, as for the possible reasons, there are too many to count, just the difference in the race and status of the two people is enough to discourage many people, but that person does not include Alan, Alan believes that Alevia will not back down because of some small difficulties.
"Mr. Allen, Miss Cialis, are you all right?" Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came into the ears of the two men.
The two turned their heads, but saw a tall woman in a maid's outfit waving to them to greet them, and I don't know if it was an illusion, Alan always felt that her face seemed to be a little illusory, with a little unreal feeling.
"Are you ......" Alan looked at the woman in the maid's costume hesitantly, the voice was a little familiar, but the woman's face was very unfamiliar, at least she hadn't seen it recently.
"Miss Len, is there something wrong?" said Hyris, happily walking over to greet the woman.
"Leni, is the teacher's butler, why are you ......" Alan walked over and looked at Miss Len's appearance, no matter how you looked at it, she couldn't associate it with the crystal in Benjamin's magic tower.
"I always use this appearance when I go out, after all, sometimes I have to go out and buy items that are missing in the magic tower, and it is more convenient to have a fixed appearance. However, I can only replenish my energy in the magic tower, so I don't usually go out for too long. Miss Ling explained meticulously.
"Miss Prism, is there anything going on?" asked Cialis.
"Master Benjamin asked me to bring you a letter. Ling said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Alan.
"Why do you have to write a letter? What is written on it?" Alan took the letter with some confusion and asked, after all, Benjamin was usually in the magic tower of Fort Fringe, so why should he write a letter if there was anything to tell him directly?
"Mr. Benjamin received an urgent order to let Mr. Benjamin go to the Four Realms Pass as soon as possible, he received the order last night and immediately left the Edge Fort after preparing for it, and asked me to give you the letter before leaving, as for the content of the letter, Mr. Benjamin only said one sentence. Ling said, with a look of concern in his face, as if he was worried about Benjamin, who had left in a hurry.
"This is news about Lady Anna. Ling replied.
"......" Alan and Cylis were stunned, looking at the letter that should have been longing for a long time, but they didn't dare to open it.
"Then, I sent the letter, and I wish you two successful assessments. Ling bowed respectfully, and left without waiting for the two of them to react.
"That stinky old man really picks the time. Alan said with a wry smile.
When he came to Fort Edge, Alan asked Benjamin to help find the whereabouts of Anna's mother, after all, he was still a small person, and it was impossible to go directly to the gate of the Igo family and ask them to hand them over. But Alan was not willing to just wait, at least to confirm the safety of Anna's mother, so he asked Benjamin to be a teacher, but he didn't expect that Benjamin would really let Benjamin inquire about the news in a few days.
"Open it, right?" Ciris cautiously peeked at Allen's face and said, of course Ciris knows Anna, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Anna can be said to be one of the driving forces behind Allen's becoming stronger, and now that Alan finally has news of Anna, it is understandable that some gains and losses are suffered.
「...... Good. Alan took a deep breath and opened the envelope, only to see a few big words scrawled inside, which looked like he had written in a hurry, but these few words made Alan put down the big stone in his heart.
"How?" asked Cyris, cautiously.
Alan smiled with relief and handed the letter to Cialis.
"Lady Anna, Ann?? Quan, now under house arrest in the castle of the Eagle family. Cialis whispered, although this word did not carry any magic power, but it was more effective than any incantation, which made Cialis laugh too, but then frowned a little worriedly.
"Is Lady Anna imprisoned? What should I do, is she in danger?" asked Celis, handing back the letter.
"There shouldn't be any danger. Alan thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Anna's mother should just be under house arrest and restrict her personal freedom, it seems that the Igo family still wants to have face, and they didn't embarrass a woman, but just put her under house arrest for the sake of face. Alan explained that it seems that Anna's mother also understands the style of the Igo family, so she didn't resist at the beginning, in order not to be suppressed more severely, but because of Anna's grievances, she gave Alan and Eagle Castle room to grow.
"So what should we do?" asked Cyris, relieved to hear Alan's explanation.
"Become a legend as soon as possible and rescue Anna's mother. Alan looked at an eagle banner flying high in the edge fort and replied, "If you don't become a legend, you can't be taken seriously by the Igo family." In the near future, Alan believes that he will definitely be able to rescue Anna, of course, if he asks Benjamin, he may also have a chance to rescue Anna, but Alan believes that this is actually an internal matter of the family to some extent, if you ask Benjamin, it is equivalent to oppressing the Igo family with the help of external forces, which may cause the opposite effect, so Alan decided that this matter can only be solved by himself.
"The assessment instructions are about to begin, so please gather the assessment students. A middle-aged man with yellow hair and a magic robe shouted to the bottom from a makeshift platform, and behind the middle-aged man were the legendary powerhouses who were in charge of presiding over the assessment, the legendary magician Locke had changed his usual talkativeness, frowning as if thinking about something, and beside him stood a sturdy orc who looked a little impatient, an elven marksman who looked relaxed, and a bearded dwarf with a ruddy face and obvious drunkenness.
"Why are there so few people?" Alan muttered as he looked at the high platform and frowned. A few days ago, the magician assessment gathered several legendary magicians to preside, why is this more important assessment today on the human side only sent a legendary magician to preside, even in order to deter the strong men of other races, they should also send more people, after all, the races are not friendly, and it is not uncommon to fight when they disagree, in this case, how can there be only one legendary magician on behalf of the human race?
Thinking of what Miss Ling said just now, Teacher Benjamin was recruited to go to the Four Realms Passage, which is the forefront of the war, could it be that what changes have occurred in the war on the front line that the human race can't draw more legendary powerhouses to preside over the assessment?
