Chapter XXVII
The city of Coennas, the Royal Palace.
"Your Majesty, you don't look like you've just recovered from your illness. ”
"Haha, that's because when I saw you, Ambassador, my mood suddenly improved!"
"Hmph! I'm here this time to talk to Your Majesty about the magic crystal quota. ”
The king's face suddenly became mournful, "Ambassador, didn't the quota just be adjusted three years ago......?
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no...... We will definitely increase grain production this year! The quota ...... Last time, a lot of quotas were adjusted to the Thorn Empire, and if you continue to adjust it, the situation of a dominant family on the Huls Continent is not good for your side...... That's right. Equilibrium! You said that the equilibrium of the mainland is in your interests!"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I'm not trying to cut the quota of the Femon Empire, but quite the opposite!"
"On the contrary, you mean...... Want to increase the quota?!" King Auston felt that he must have heard it wrong, for nearly a hundred years, because the Thorn Empire has been committed to cultivating farmland, food production has been rising, and the Magic Crystal quota of the Femon Empire has been cut all the way. Although the cultivation of arable land has been encouraged within the country, the population of the empire is far less than that of the Thorn Empire, and no one can do anything about it.
"That's right, it was supposed to increase the quota, but it's a little late. "Natia Vida hangs the king's appetite, and she knows the art of negotiation.
"Ambassador, don't be joking, as long as we can increase the quota, whatever the price, we can pay. ”
Natia Vida picked up the tea at hand and took a sip, and said slowly, "I originally wanted to surprise one of my friends with a gift from His Majesty. But now, maybe he doesn't need this gift anymore. ”
"Why don't you need it? You must need it! Gifts, the more the merrier! What do you want to give? Is the jewel good, I will give her the queen's best jewels?Or a horse? How about giving her my horse? Or is it okay to give her my magic wand? My grandfather's magic wand?" the king behaved like a peddler of goods.
"Maybe it's too late. Your Majesty, today is the first day of the winter semester for the Empire's major magic academies?"
"The first day? Is it the first day? Adrien, is it the first day? Does anyone know, is it the first day?" In the palace hall, everyone was asking the people next to them if it was the first day. After a while, the court mage asked for confirmation and told the king, yes. It's the first day.
"That's good......"
"Yes, that's good! That's still too late!" the king didn't know what the other man wanted to say, he just needed to know that it was still too late. As long as it is in time, the quota can be raised, and the empire will be saved!
"But...... I'm afraid it's still too late, starting from the imperial capital, it will take ten days for the fastest messenger to reach the province of Tris...... It would have been nice to see the king sooner......" said Natia regretfully.
"It's too late! It must be in time! Adrien, does it take ten days for the fastest messenger?
Adrien was tempted to warn the king that his words were a bit out of character, but now was not the time to pay attention.
"Your Majesty, if you use the words of the white-headed crow, it will arrive tomorrow, but I don't know if the gift that His Excellency the ambassador wants to send over, whether the crow can bring it. ”
"Yes, you will be able to use the letter crow!, what is the gift, Your Excellency the Ambassador?" the king was in a hurry to call His Excellency Natia Vida the same as Adrien, which was obviously unruly, but at this time, no one would remind him.
"I'm going to deliver something light, but it's too late tomorrow. ”
"You have to be in time! Whatever you want to do, you have to send it today! Who else has a way?"
"Or...... Send it with two white-headed letter crows?"
"Idiot!" the king slammed his scepter at him, and the chief knight of the Praetorian Guard paid for his intelligence.
"Your Majesty, there is a way to contact the Tris Academy of Magic, but if you want to send something over, I'm afraid it still won't work. The court mage suddenly thought that there was a communication circle in the palace that urgently contacted the magic academies in various places.
King Auston looked at Natia Vida with a look that resembled a begging look, until the corners of the latter's mouth curled upwards and a beautiful smile appeared, "I knew that Your Majesty must have a way, and the gift I want to give only needs to be summoned." ”
Triss School of Magic.
The whistle of the teleportation circle has been sounding for five minutes, and this time is used to warm up for the communication between the two magic arrays, and it also happens to reserve time for the academy to gather. Once the teleportation circle is activated, it must be ensured that all teachers and students in the school can hear the important message from the imperial capital.
"Attention, everyone! There will be a very important message to be released in a moment!Attention, no matter what happens, don't panic!" the dean was already standing in front of the communication array.
Donner followed Victor and his party to the front of the crowd, he was very conspicuous in his cloth clothes, and Lucia and Wesley saw him at a glance and walked up to greet him. Dean Devis saw Wesley coming over and nodded to him, who ignored him.
"You'd better not go away! The matter of the magic crystal will not let you fool around, don't think that if something big happens, you can just get away. I'm staring at you!" Judy glared at Donner. Both Lucia and Wesley heard her and didn't know how Donner had offended her.
Donner felt that his position was a little too conspicuous, and was about to retreat to the periphery of the crowd, but just walked out of the crowd, he was grabbed by a person behind him, "Auntie, he's going to run away!"
It was Carl's voice, who had just heard Judy's words, and when he saw Donner withdraw from the crowd, he grabbed Donner.
Lucia and Wesley stepped forward to separate the two who were tearing apart, and Judy saw it from a distance and met them.
"Why do you say my magic crystal was stolen?" Donner was a little annoyed by the pair of aunts and nephews.
"I just suspect that your magic crystal was stolen right now, how can you prove that you didn't steal it?" said Judy with a sneer.
"Then I suspect that you are a man now, Carl is your boyfriend, and you can prove it to me too?"
Wesley laughed, and Lucia couldn't help but cover her mouth, it was the first time they had seen Donner fight back.
Judy's face was pale, her hands stretched out in vain, wood magic, green vines entwined. Before Donner could react, the dense vines had already wrapped him tightly. As Judy's hands twisted, the vines tightened and tightened, and the tangled Donner struggled to breathe.
"What are you doing?!" Victor saw this.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him, I'm going to teach this lowly boy a lesson!"
At this moment, the whistle of the communication array stopped abruptly, and a powerful man's voice came from the magic circle. Everyone stopped, and the square fell silent for a moment.
"All of you at Tris Academy of Magic, I am Auston Finn, your king. ”
Oh my God, it's His Majesty's voice!!, no one noticed, Lucia frowned slightly.
"Today is the first day of school at the Academy. Alston held in his hand the manuscript that the ceremonial officer had just hastily written, "I am here to honour an outstanding young man!"
Everyone was suspicious of their ears: the teleportation circle that had been activated by thirty-six court magicians in collaboration with a large amount of magic crystals was to honor a young man? What did he do?
"This boy has made outstanding contributions to the Empire!" Auston had no idea what the other party had done, but as long as he could increase the quota of magic crystals, it would be the greatest contribution!
"However, his current status in the academy is seriously inconsistent with the contribution he has made! this situation must change immediately!" In the last sentence, the ceremonial official directly quoted Natia Vida's original words.
Everyone's benegating is wondering if the student's identity is not in line with his contribution, so should he be a teacher? This is too messy, isn't it? Who is the king talking about?
"In my capacity as the King of the Empire, I order the Tris Academy of Magic to immediately admit Donalveen as a student of the Academy!No delay!Oh, if Donner is already enrolled, then I congratulate him!" What kind of bullshit is this, Auston glared at the courtesy. The ceremonial officer felt very wronged, the words said by the ambassador were already messy, and it was quite a headache to write them like this.
There was silence in the square, and the brilliant young man, who was being honored by the king, was still tightly wrapped in Judy's vine magic. Judy was stunned when she heard the king say Donnaveen's name.
The pauper she spoke of was an outstanding young man whom the king had to pay great attention to commend! And she has just been claiming that the other party is a liar and a thief. Even, I'm going to teach him a lesson!
Judy stiffened and pale, and even forgot to withdraw her vine magic. Carl, who was standing beside him, no longer had his usual chic appearance, and his legs were shaking.
"Donner, now your friend has a few words to say to you. ”
"Donner, Donner?" said Natia Vida's voice from the teleportation circle.
"Why is there no sound, is this magic array broken?" Natia Vida asked the king, and it came word for word.
Seeing this, Dean Devis rushed up, slashed Judy's outstretched hand open, and then pulled Donner from the rapidly fading vines and sent him to the magic circle. This series of movements is quick and agile, which is completely inconsistent with his previous lethargic image.
"Natia Vida?"
"Downer, why is it so long?"
"Something happened. ”
"A small gift, I hope you don't hate it. ”
"Not annoying, very timely, thank you. Donner said with a wry smile.
"Actually, there's one more thing I want to trouble you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"My two daughters, coming from the north, should be in Dorne soon, and I hope you can help me discipline them. ”
"Daughter, do you want me to discipline you?"
"You'll know when you see it, okay, trouble!" Natia Vida said with a snicker, the magic fluctuations gradually fading, and the teleportation ended.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at Donner in front of the teleportation array, and no one could understand what was happening in front of them.
The day was March 1st, and Donnaveen officially became a student at the Tesri Academy of Magic.
(Two things: one is that the book has entered the signing procedure, and it will be signed soon, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sign the contract and causing eunuchs; the other is that the author is sick, and the tonsils are swollen like a table tennis ball, and I wanted to explode a little, so that it is already very hard to keep it continuous, forgive me! I still have to be cheeky to ask for recommendation votes, and ask for collections!)
