CHAPTER XXXII
In the early morning, the city-state of Auston also woke up from the silence of the night, and the hawkers began their busy day, and the shops opened one after another, ready to welcome their first customer of the day, and countless shouts seemed to sound at the same time as in that moment.
The mercenaries who begged for a living on the blade also went out of the city gate one after another, going to the depths of the surrounding mountains to try their luck, they went out of the city gate with great expectations, but they didn't know how many people could come back safe and sound, the struggle between people and monsters, the struggle between people, will make those who are deeply trapped and unable to get rid of helplessness and fear, but there is no way.
Ai Wen also slowly woke up in this energetic morning, Ai Wen meditated all night, stood up and moved his slightly stiff joints, only to hear a crackling sound of his body stretching.
Evan staggered to Bert's room and knocked on the door, "Get up." No one answered, Evan pushed the door in, saw that Bert was still meditating, did not disturb, and retreated from Bert's room, while gently closing the door.
Evan went downstairs to the front hall and heard someone sitting in the front hall talking, it didn't seem very pleasant, the voice of the Egbert Sage was a little impatient, Evan walked over, and after greeting Egbert, he looked at the person sitting opposite the Egbert Sage, an old man, dressed gorgeously, looking at himself with a smile, Evan had to nod in response, and saw a young man standing behind the old man, who looked a little familiar, but couldn't remember.
Aven didn't remember who this person was, but this person recognized Evan, this person was the very powerful magician that Ewen and Bert met on the street yesterday: Barron, a genius magician who is very famous in the whole kingdom, has just broken through to the Holy Order, and his reputation is even more famous, and this trip followed his master Adrien Sage to the city-state of Auston, for the ruins that recently appeared in the Saxon Mountains, at this time Barron was still a little puzzled by his master's special trip to visit such an unknown sageγ
Moreover, the sage named Egbert still had a not very friendly attitude towards his master, and a trace of anger rose in Barron's heart, although Baron was arrogant and conceited, but he still respected his master very much, because he deeply understood the unfathomable strength of his master Adrien Sage.
Ai Wen thought about it for a long time and didn't think of who this was, seeing that the Sage Egbert was talking to people about things, Ai Wen was also interested in leaving to go for a stroll elsewhere.
At this time, Barron's master, Adrian, spoke, "Is this little friend the new genius of the academy?"
Ai Wen was stunned for a moment This person knows the academy, it should also be a person inspired by God, why haven't he seen it, oh, it should be the same as the Egbert Sage, a character who will not stay in the academy for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the Egbert Sage said coldly: "Since you are out of the academy, get out of the academy thoroughly, you are not qualified to inquire about the affairs of the academy." β
Hearing the words of the Sage of Egbert, Adrien smiled slightly, "After so many years, our temper is still so big, you and I just choose to be different." β
"Choice means a lot of things," Egbert said. Egbert didn't want to say a word of superfluity
"It's still such a big temper," said Adrien, "doesn't it mean that your temper has subsided a lot after that defeat? β
Egbert's tone was extremely cold when he heard this: "If you want to die, I can give you a ride." At the same time, the momentum of the Sage Egbert was gradually rising, and there was a momentum that he would do it if he didn't agree with him.
Adrian's face also became ugly, he didn't expect that the old guy Egbert would do such a desperate thing, Barron felt the moment he felt the momentum of the Egbert Sage, and understood that he was very wrong, the old man in front of him was by no means an ordinary sage who was unknown.
Ai Wen felt the momentum of the Egbert Sage, and was ready to fight at any time, but Ai Wen was a little worried, if it really started, how many people would be left in this city-state, and how many people would die, Ai Wen still hoped that it would be best not to fight.
The two sides were tense, and the atmosphere was extremely intense for a while, and the defensive circle of the entire Magician Association had been activated, emitting bursts of brilliance, protecting the entire Magician Association, and at the same time not allowing any magic fluctuations to radiate from the Association.
At this time, Bert also walked over slowly, and saw that the situation in the front hall didn't seem to be right, so he immediately stepped forward, and the four of them were in a tense posture, and they didn't ask about the situation, and began to improve their magic power.
Adrien was still a little relaxed, but he was a little shocked when Bert improved his magic power, this young man who didn't look very old actually made him feel a natural sense of oppression, which was a natural sense of oppression for magicians, although this sense of oppression was still very weak, because the strength of this teenager was not strong for himself, but this weak sense of oppression has explained a lot of things, could it be that the dawn really came, and he really chose a wrong path.
With this suspicion of himself, Adrien's heart weakened, and he said, "Old fellow, do you want to break the whole city-state?"
"You can try," Egbert said. β
Adrien laughed, "You old madman. After saying that, he stood up and beckoned his disciple Barron to leave here, and Barron stood up in horror and slowly left behind his master.
Egbert looked at the departing master and apprentice and didn't move, put away his magic power, and the momentum of the whole person dissipated at once, and Evan and Bert saw that they were okay and relaxed.
Bert was still muttering, "You can try." After a few words, Bert looked at the Sage of Egbert and said, "Sage of Egbert, you were very domineering when you said this just now. β
Egbert said, "What is domineering, if you really want to defeat the city-state of Auston, it will be a big matter." β
Evan said, "Then why are you so unforgiving? β
Egbert looked at the two of them and said, "It's not that you two are here, I think you two can stop it, who knows that you two have a bigger temper than me, don't ask the reason, you are ready to fight with me, alas, you are old, and your heart is no longer as good as that of a young man." β
Bert said, "Your domineering momentum just now is not old at all. "This kid can also say good things, Evan couldn't help but glance at Bert, Bert gave a look back, look at your sister.
Evan ignored him and asked, "Who was that just now? β
Egbert sighed and said, "It's the one I told you about before and the one we chose to be different. β
Evan had already guessed this, but the relationship between Egbert Sage and this person seemed to be very difficult, and Bert also showed an inquiring look.
Seeing the curious eyes of Evan and Bert, Egbert continued to sigh and said, "It's nothing, it's just a very clichΓ© story, you won't want to hear it." β
Since the old man was reluctant to speak, Evan and Bert stopped being curious.
The Sage of Egbert said, "You two don't go out for a walk today, you've been in the academy for several years, and you don't want to have a good time when you come out. β
Bert said, "Have a good time, Aven, go, I'm in for a treat." As he was about to leave, Evan glanced at the Sage and followed Bert and the others out for a walk.
The Sage of Egbert laughed behind him, "These two stinky boys. β
Evan and Bert went shopping for a day and didn't buy anything, just watched, mainly because they didn't have anything they wanted, and near dusk, Bert saw a tavern and said, "Let's go, brother, please drink." β
Ai Wen looked at this tavern but suddenly the tavern where he could hide from other children to chase and kill, Aunt Mei's tavern, thinking of this, Ai Wen's fist clenched, that damn god.
Bert saw that Evan didn't react, so he directly pulled Evan and walked in, as soon as he entered, he felt a commotion, most of the people who drank here were mixed fish, and they were shouting while drinking.
Evan was pulled in directly by Bert, and took a look at the tavern, the scale was not small, and there was a second floor, but it was as noisy as Aunt May's tavern, and Evan felt a hint of familiarity.
At this time, Bert had already dragged Evan to the bar, and a female bartender with a hot figure and cool clothes asked, "Two handsome little guys, what do you want to drink?"
Bert waved his hand and said, "What's the most expensive." β
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "It's still a rich little handsome guy." Bert smiled too, laughing so silly, Evan said in his heart.
After a while, the beautiful bartender took out two glasses of wine and said, "Coveted, the best wine in this store will not be taken out easily, but looking at the two handsome guys, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to take it out." β
Bert paid for it, it was indeed expensive, two large glasses of wine for a gold coin, but Bert didn't care.
Bert picked up the wine, smelled it, and said, "Good wine, so fragrant." The bartender said, "Is that the smell of this wine, or the smell of my sister?" β
Bert smiled, "It's all fragrant, it's all fragrant." But he didn't say much, and sat down with a casual seat with a drink. Bert said, "It's so lively, it's my first time in the tavern." β
Evan laughed, "I've been here many times. β
Bert wondered, "When?" β
"Of course you don't know, you're not born yet." β
Bert pouted, "Get out, we're both the same age." β
Evan smiled, "A thousand years ago, were you born?"
Bert didn't want to talk anymore, he forgot about this stubble, he was so old, no, Evan couldn't say that he was old in this case, Bert decided not to, and then took a big sip of wine.
The two of them listened to the mercenaries around them noisily talking about what was going on, and the two of them listened intentionally for a while, and Bert said, "This is the ruins of the mountain range that the Sage of Egbert said two days ago." β
Evan nodded and said, "The Saxon Mountains, there are countless ruins, it was like this a thousand years ago, countless people poured here to find out, but I didn't expect it to be the same after a thousand years." β
Then Evan looked at Bert and said, "Why, you're interested." β
Bert said, "Aren't you interested? Anyway, we don't have anything to do for the time being, so why don't we take a look." β
Evan said, "Okay, it's okay anyway, just go and see." β
After saying that, the two of them drank the remaining wine in the cup, and then left the tavern and returned directly to the Wizards' Association. (End of chapter)
