Chapter 14: Parting
At the beginning, I am afraid that no one could have imagined the results of such a competition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I did not expect that instead of driving me out of the Earl's Court after this, the Count of Elad warmly kept me.
The Holy Academy of Magic is located on the Aaron Peninsula, a seaside peninsula at the junction of three empires.
It usually takes a month and a half to get from the remote city of Selivia to the Aaron Peninsula.
The enrollment time for the Holy Magic Academy is usually at the beginning of August in the Haran calendar, and now it is the beginning of July, which means that I am running out of time.
Do you have to wait a year and waste a year's time?
You know, every second wasted may be more dangerous for my father.
Naturally, I was depressed.
Fortunately, Count Elad found out about this, and he patted me on the shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Don't worry, it will only take a week to go to the Aaron Peninsula." ”
"Ah, Lord Earl, what do you mean by that?" I wondered, for a week, even if I rode a chasing horse, I might not be able to cross such a long distance, right?
"Alex, have you forgotten that the August Empire is the country of alchemy?" Lord Earl winked at me, seeing that I still didn't understand, and continued: "Every city is connected by a space magic array, as long as you take it, you can travel as far as you can in the shortest time. ”
It dawned on me, but the cost of riding the magic array wouldn't be too low, right?
Count Elad took out a token, handed it to me, and said, "Every count in the empire has ten free opportunities to ride the space magic array every year, so you can use it." ”
"I can't ask for something so valuable. "I don't dare to accept it, it's all a gift from the Empire.
"Take it, and don't let me down. Count Elad said kindly, stuffed into my hand, I looked at him in a daze for a while, and said silently in my heart: "Count Ilad, I will definitely repay you." ”
In this way, I suddenly have more time again.
Unfortunately, Lord Earl's token can only limit one person to the magic array, in other words, I will go to the Aaron Peninsula alone to report.
I'm parting ways with Beryl here.
Countless images flashed through my mind.
Beryl is not my mother, but she has taken care of me since I was born, and I have always been inseparable, and the relationship between the two of us is very deep, ordinary people can't imagine that no one can do without each other.
I never imagined that there would be a day when I often shed tears unconsciously in the middle of the night.
Beryl and I play games together, eat together, and ...... together But an atmosphere of parting has always enveloped us, and we can't enjoy it all.
Finally.
The day still came.
I sat in the dining room of Count Elard's house, as usual, with Beryl sitting next to me, and Madame Elard with us.
"Look, Belyl, it's your favorite vegetable. ”
The food at Earl's Court was very rich and varied, and I gave Beryl's favorite vegetables, and tears accidentally fell into the bowl.
"Ah, I'm a big kid, I can't cry. I said secretly, holding back tears.
Beryl lowered her head and ate it, and I could see her chest heaving violently, and she was holding back her emotions.
"Alex, you eat a little too. The Countess said.
I nodded.
"Ah, I can't help it. ”
Woooo
I started crying and hugged Beryl, and Beryl's emotions were endured to the extreme, and if the flood gate was lifted, big tears rolled down.
"Alex, you...... Be careful when you're out there alone. "Beryl cried and asked me.
"Sister, you...... You also have to take care of yourself and wait for me to come back. I choked up.
It was a parting feast, and Beryl and I had a very bad meal.
The next day's sun was very hot, and the July heat in Harran was unbearable, and the nights were so long, but the night would eventually pass.
"Where's my sister?" I looked at the farewell team in amazement.
The Earl's family and Mr. Rapp were waiting for me, and Beryl was the only one to be seen.
The Countess came over and touched my forehead and said, "Alex, Beryl, she...... Just last night I left the Earl's Court. ”
"Huh?" I was shocked, did my sister just leave?
All of a sudden, I felt like I was lost in my soul.
I left the Snow Moon Country that accompanied me to grow up, and I left my father, and now I ...... Has even my inseparable sister left me?
In the future, will I face it alone?
"She left you a letter, though. The Countess took a letter into my hand, which I cherished in my bosom and thanked her.
"Alex, you have to work hard, I'll look for you next year. Morley said.
Molly, he didn't go to the Holy Academy of Magic to study magic until he was ten years old.
"Hey, look at it, the Academy of Magic also has a holiday every year, and when you want to come back, you can also come back and have a look, and then little Alex may be a powerful magician." Count Elard comforted me and said.
The carriage stopped in front of a tall building, Count Elad got out of it, and two soldiers strode over and said respectfully, "Your Excellency." ”
Ilard nodded, and Mr. Rapp carried my suitcase, which the Countess had prepared for me, as well as food and some gold coins, and I got out of the carriage and looked up.
The tall and wide building is made of hard basalt, and on the top is engraved a large "five-pointed star", which is the logo of the magic array.
"Alex, go inside. The road ahead is up to you. "Count Elad patted me on the shoulder and encouraged me.
The Countess kissed me on the forehead and said softly, "Alex, one has to take care of oneself. If you don't have enough money, you can write to us. ”
Morley hugged me, "Alex, you have to study hard there, or I'll surpass you in a year." ”
"Thank you, Lord Earl, Lady Ruby, Morley, and Mr. Rapp. I bowed deeply, in the zeal of the Earl's family, and I turned and walked into the tall building.
An old man arched his hand, took my luggage, and said, "Dear sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"I'm going to Gamma City. "I pulled out the token.
Seeing that the token was like seeing me, the old man nodded and said respectfully, "Please come with me." ”
The old man led me into the deepest room, opened the door, and said, "Please stand in the center of the pentagram, you may feel uncomfortable later, just bear with a little patience, and Gamma City will be reached." ”
I nodded and walked in.
"Is this the magic circle?" I looked at the intricate patterns engraved on the ground, like a beautiful work of art.
It's hard to imagine that it can teleport people to another city?
Airplanes!
Strange fluctuations rang out, and I felt as if I was in a void, surrounded by countless flickering lights......
"Let's go too. "Count Elad took his wife and children by the hand, and returned to the Earl's Court with Mr. Rapp.
