Chapter 107: The Changed and the Unchanged

c_t; The 'overcast' clouds in the sky grew thicker and deeper, and under the dark clouds, the whole city fell into a dusk like the evening, and the streets became more and more scarce, and before the rainstorm was about to come, everyone hid in their homes, through the closed windows, waiting for the arrival of this sweeping rain, and when the last person disappeared into the darkness, the streets of the city fell into silence. 【】(Advertisement).Visit:. In the sultry air, there is a hint of water, and the moist water vapor brings a touch of coolness to the crazy damp heat. Sniffing the familiar smell of pre-rainstorm breath, Velek raised his head again, looking up at the sky obscured by black clouds, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I don't know how long I looked up, but the grass under the stone steps of the town hall began to shake gently, and a breeze blew from afar, and the breeze carried the smell of rain, blowing the grass and raising the hem of Felek's red 'colored' robes. Felek put down his hood, lowered his head and tidied up the hem of his clothes a little in the wind, so that his clothes were neat again, as a once rigorous scholar and now a serious and self-disciplined chief consul, Felek will always maintain his own image, and will never show his embarrassed and sloppy side in front of others, even his classmates, when they recall him, all they can think of is a serious face, and a neatly dressed and meticulously dressed image, it seems that the name Felek has become one with his current image, and will not change again。

"It's windy. Felek raised his hand, so that the palm of his hand was facing the direction of the wind, felt the feeling of the wind blowing on the palm of his hand, and murmured: "In this kind of weather, wind and rain are always the best pair, the coming of the wind is the harbinger of rain, as long as you feel the wind, it means that the rainstorm is close at hand." Rain is the favorite of the people in the city, no, it should be said that rain is the favorite of the highlanders, a rainstorm can not only bring the city a few days of coolness, but also wash away all the dirt and darkness. Make the city a cleaner place. So, everyone here has a heartfelt love for rain, and you people in the city will be the same. Friends from afar?"

"On the contrary, in the capital of knowledge, rain is the most annoying. "In front of the empty city hall 'door', a clear 'female' voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by the 'female' voice. It was the sound of metal hitting the ground. In the click-and-click footsteps, a figure emerged from the end of the deserted street, and the dim light made the figure look hazy, but even in the haze, her tall figure and shiny silver scales could still be distinguished. The young 'girl' of the silver armor approached step by step, and a clear and beautiful voice spit out from her bright 'bright' red 'lips': "It is rare for such heavy rain to occur in the holy capital, and the rain in that city is dense and continuous, and it is a few days or even ten days at a time, so that everything around is wrapped in a cloud of 'damp' dampness. So, apart from the poets, there are few people in the Holy Capital who like rainy days. Among them, we adventurers and mercenaries hate rainy days the most. ”

"Why?" Ferrek asked, staring at the approaching 'female' knight with a polite 'sex' smile on his face, "I can understand the feeling you said, but why are adventurers and mercenaries emphasized separately?"

"Because every time it is 'cloudy' and rainy, adventurers and mercenaries will be extremely miserable. The 'female' knight slowly walked to the bottom of the steps, raised her head to look at Felek who was more than ten meters away, and said with a serious face: "Most of the mercenaries and adventurers will have a large number of dark wounds on their bodies that cannot be healed, and the continuous 'yin' rain will make these people suffer unbearable pain. As I feel now, this pain is hard to escape even if you lie still, so almost no adventurer likes a 'cloudy' rainy day. ”

"That's a hard time for you, Miss Catherine. Velek politely bowed. He smiled and said, "In such weather, it really makes me feel guilty to trouble you to come here." It looks like the rain is about to fall, so please come in and sit down, and the rest of us will come in together. No one is going to brave a torrential rain to come to the town hall to run errands. Therefore, every time there is a rainstorm, all the apprentices in the town hall will have a holiday, and the apprentices who do not have a holiday will also return to the floating island to prepare for the experiment, so it is very quiet now, and it is the best place to 'mingle', the best in every sense. ”

"Thank you so much for reads; The other six people behind Catherine also walked over slowly, Moore's face could not see joy and anger, Flarenchen hugged it in his arms, and said in a faint voice: "Although the rain in the 'spirit' spirit forest will also be very large, and it lasts longer than on the plateau, but with the protection of the forest, we can feel far less violent here, if I face this rainstorm directly, it is really a little troublesome, thank you for choosing such a good place, of course, as you said, it is the best place in every sense." ”

Felek didn't say anything, just smiled casually, lowered his head and put on his hood again, let his expression disappear into the 'shadow', made a leading gesture to the town hall, and turned around and walked into the big 'door' of the town hall.

He was not wrong at all, there was no one in sight in the town hall, only silence was felt. Walking in the empty hall, surrounded by silence, only the footsteps of a few people came out, but the sound of small fragments was infinitely amplified in the empty environment, one by one.

"This rain came without warning. Felek's voice was deep, but in an environment where even footsteps could be heard clearly, even the lowest voice would become clear: "The weather on the plateau is like this, and heavy rains are always unexpected and can completely 'disrupt' everyone's plans. In the original plan, today was supposed to be the day when representatives of various industries of city residents gathered at the city hall to hold a meeting of experience 'exchange', and the time should have been at noon, in the large restaurant on the edge of the building, which was originally the place where the staff of the city hall had lunch and dinner, was converted into a meeting place. The apprentices had already set up the restaurant yesterday, and even the food had been ordered, but it turned out that it was only a rainstorm, and everything had to be postponed. But that's a good thing, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have such a good environment for us. ”

"It looks like you're looking forward to this meeting very much. Although it was only small talk, Catherine's voice was still chivalrous and stereotyped: "This surprised me, I thought you Bute mages were tired of this kind of thing, after all, it is rumored that you are all efficientmen, and you are always not interested in such things that have nothing to do with research, and even disgusted." ”

"The rumors are not wrong, we are indeed bored, noisy, inefficient, useless, and meaningless in our eyes. Felek made a direct assessment in a calm voice: "However, those apprentices are different from us, they are just some young people, or rather, just a group of children, their way of thinking has not yet changed to a real mage, they like to be crowded, they like to be lively, and they are very energetic even if they don't have meaningful things, so they are looking forward to this meeting." ”

"As for our ......," Felek smiled, his smile showing a rare soft 'color': "When I see them, I think of myself when I was a child, and at that time we were as playful and playful as they were, and when I think about it, they will be happy." ”

"You're really indulgent with the apprentices. Catherine's expression softened, and she was no longer as serious as before: "It seems that it is a very happy thing for them to become your apprentices." ”

"Heh, who knows if you're happy or not. Felek's smile seemed to contain a complex meaning: "Moreover, what people want to get, sometimes they have to pay a higher price." Happiness is not a costless thing, and if you are not prepared to pay the price, then in some ways, such happiness is just unhappiness for those people. ”

"Sounds like you're conflicted?" Catherine asked softly, "Do you ever feel conflicted?"

"It's not a contradiction. Felek shook his head and said, "It's just a little sigh, hehe, even if we tower mages, there will be times when we sigh, but most people can't see it." Come, everyone, please walk over here, the big restaurant is coming. ”

"The apprentices are on vacation, and you are receiving us below. Behind Catherine, Pannis, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "What about Fira?"

"Teacher?" Velek was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile like a child mentioning his beloved father: "The teacher has probably just finished reading every day, and it is said that he has kept reading every day for a hundred years, and when I was a child, I once asked the teacher, if you continue to read like him, won't you finish those books?" The teacher's answer to me made me unforgettable for the rest of my life, the teacher said that the book may have a day to be finished, but the knowledge gained through reading is endless, and there will never be a day when I will finish it. And what he did was to master as much knowledge as possible, so that he could be considered a qualified mage and scholar. ”

"Oh, it's like he can say. Pannis shrugged and said noncommittally, "That guy has not changed since then, whether it is the fanaticism of acquiring and researching knowledge, or the fact that he always answers other people's questions in a roundabout way. ”

"Yes, the teacher has never changed. Felek nodded: "The habits are the same, now he should have left the library, is walking in the courtyard at the top of the tower with the help of Aniah, every day before lunch, the teacher has to have a fifteen-minute walk, this has never changed." ”

"It's hard to stick to habits and not change. Pannis nodded, "But why did you, as his student, change?"

"Has it really changed? Maybe I've never changed. Felek said meaningfully: "This is the big restaurant, please come in." ”
