On New Year's Eve, it has been half a month since the book stealing scandal.

The badge of the honorary director of the Naturalist Society had arrived the other day, and this delicate badge did not bring any real benefit to the Donner. Donner is also a small handyman in the library of the Academy of Magic, oh yes, Mr. Victor's personal assistant, and as more and more people know about this identity, there will be less suspicion, malice, and surveillance against him.

Since the Divine Yuan exceeded 100 and was promoted to a low-level mage apprentice, Donner's cultivation speed has finally slowed down, and the increase in Divine Yuan brought by drawing the same number of Elements has become less and less.

However, his recent focus has been on another place, the magic model. He was already familiar with the two magic models involved in the book "Introduction and Practice of Magic Models", which had brought unpleasant experiences, the modeling steps of regular hexagon basic attack magic and regular hexagon nested basic defense magic. But as the title of the book says, getting started and practicing, familiarizing himself with the content, understanding the meaning, just getting started, what he lacks more is practical experience. Now, even in the quietest of conditions, step-by-step modeling, you can only barely complete that basic attack magic, and if you want to use it in real combat, you will have to be scrambling. As for the nested model in the back, he didn't have the courage to try it yet.

Sure enough, there was a voice next to him, and the modeling was immediately interrupted, and half of the six-element fireball magic that was combined collapsed into the sea of gods.

"When I was a child, my mother once took me to see a New Year's fireworks. "It's Kelly's voice.

Tonight is the busiest time of the year in the Academy of Magic, and the elements drawn by the students of the Academy in their homework have no practical value, but they cannot be wasted, and all the senior students will be made into magic fireworks and cast on New Year's Eve. On this day, the people near the Academy, and even the dignitaries in Dorne City, will come to the Academy of Magic to watch the rare fireworks spectacle.

Richard and Kelly also took advantage of the New Year's holiday to come to the Academy of Magic.

"Well, I'll just say it's the best location, I found out about it last year. Wesley shouted at Donner, he had said the other day that he knew a great place to watch the fireworks, and he had invited Lucia to do so, but of course he had been rejected again.

This is the rooftop of a small building on the edge of the dormitory, and I don't know where Wesley got the key. Now he was pointing out to Richard which of the people downstairs were the well-known beauties of the Academy of Magic.

Donner sat on the edge of the rooftop, his feet dangling in the air, looking at the magic arena not far away, where the fireworks would be released. Kelly sat next to him, and I remember that the two had never sat so close to each other.

"Fireworks are beautiful, aren't they?" Donner replied with a smile.

"Actually...... I don't remember the fireworks for a long time, but I remember that there were a lot of people, and my mother kept holding my hand, and I held it tightly, for fear that my mother would be gone......"

Donner imagined the little girl holding her mother's hand in the crowd, curious and nervous.

“...... I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have brought up my mother's ...... in front of you," Kelly saw Donner fall silent again, thinking of the other party's background.

"Oh, it's okay, you were still in Dorne when my mother died, right?"

"Two months after my mother took me out of the island of Lante, your mother ...... He died...... I was four years old, but, can you believe it, Donner? I remember what your mother looked like. She smiled so beautifully, and everybody loved her. It's just that...... She's not in good health...... I called you Brother Donald back then, remember?" the girl's face turned red again.

Donner smiled and didn't answer, it was Donner before the age of six, it was another Donner.

"Richard, when did your brother get involved with that little beauty? Wesley had already seen that the relationship between the two men was not ordinary.

"My brother, my brother didn't soak her...... Kylie loves my brother ......"

"It's too much, it's too much, your brother is so boring, how can any girl like him?"

"My brother is not boring, Brother Wesley, you see, my sword is my brother's fight, Mr. Merkel, is Kelly's uncle, say my brother is a genius......"

"Okay, well, your brother is the most genius, but don't you think, your brother is ...... Aren't you as handsome as me?"

Richard looked at Wesley, then turned to look at Donner, and after going back and forth a few times, he replied, "I, I don't know how to be handsome, but ...... You're all too skinny......"

Just as Wesley was speechless about Richard's rustic aesthetic, there was a knock on the locked door on the rooftop, "Wesley, are you there?"

It was Lucia's voice.

Wesley made a lewd look at Donner as he ran to open the door.

"Lucia Lucia, I'll just say there are too many people in other places? Or is it quiet and romantic...... Hey, who are these two?"

"This is my cousin Roger, and his friend Fiona, who came from the Knight Academy. This is my classmate, Wesley. ”

"Oh, Lucia, since you know of this good place, you should have brought us with you sooner. In a crowd like that, I might as well stay with my father. ”

"Fiona, it seems like you have to follow my cousin, right?"

"Alright, Lucia, don't let your classmates see the jokes. Wesley, yes? I've heard Lucia talk about you a lot. Roger held out his hand to Wesley, smiling heartily.

"Yes? I think there's some misunderstanding between me and Lucia. Wesley smiled and stretched out his hand, he didn't want Lucia to go around publicizing his glorious deeds. Roger's palms are large, and the handshake is firm and powerful.

"These are my friends, Donner, Donner's brother Richard, and Kelly, Richard and Kelly are also students at the Knight Academy. ”

"Hello, I hope it didn't bother you. This time Roger didn't reach out, and Lucia frowned slightly.

"I've seen you at the Knight Academy, and I've heard that you're about to cultivate your fighting spirit. Richard looked at Roger with adoration, the other party was a star student in the fifth year of the Knight Academy, and he was his idol.

Roger smiled modestly and did not answer.

After a brief exchange, the two groups sat down separately, Richard and Kelly each sat on Donner's side, and Wesley and Lucia said a few words before running to Richard to sit down.

From time to time, Lucia stole a glance at Kelly, and she vaguely noticed that this beautiful Knight Academy girl had an unusual relationship with Donner.

After a while, the New Year came, countless magical fireworks shot into the sky, and the crowd let out exclamations and admiration.

While everyone was watching the colorful fireworks in the night sky, Kelly quietly wrapped her hands around Donner's arms and gently leaned on his shoulders. Donner smiled slightly, but didn't move.

Lucia turned her face slightly to the side of the young man's face illuminated by the fireworks, there was still no surprise on that quiet face, he was still smiling, as if such a dazzling magical spectacle in front of him did not impress him in the slightest.

"After waiting for so long, it turned out to be only this scale, and the color was a little less......" Donner was slightly disappointed in his heart, the temperature of the girl next to him came over, thinking that the other party was only a fourteen-year-old girl, he resisted the urge to reach out and hug her.

Donner forgot that just now, the girl next to him was fifteen years old, and he himself had just reached seventeen.

The fireworks dissipated, and there was still a special smell left in the air due to the incomplete burning of the fire element, and on the roof of the small building, the teenagers were still unsatisfied.

"Wesley, I heard about your duel with Carl, it's amazing. ”

"Cousin, he just used a small wind blade. ”

"Lucia, didn't you expect that? It's because this wind blade is so small that it's amazing. If the rumors are correct, it was Wesley's timing, control of cast distance, and understanding of the psychology of his opponent that led to this seemingly coincidental victory. I guess if you do it again, you'll still win, right?" Roger's last words were addressed to Wesley.

"Carl is such an idiot, what's the point of winning him. Wesley didn't answer positively.

"Really, then how did you get into a fight with an idiot?" asked Fiona, puzzled.

"He's for Donner. Lucia helped Wesley answer, he was afraid Wesley would implicate her.

"For Donner?" Fiona looked at the shabby-dressed teenager beside Wesley, even more puzzled.

Richard and Kelly also looked at Donner suspiciously, they had heard about it for the first time.

"It's all messy, but in short, it's my friend who is so kind, and I can't see my friend suffer. ”

"You almost made things worse?? But Donner, why didn't you explain it then? Let Carl slander you like that. Lucia finally asked what was in her heart.

"Will explanations be useful?" Donner looked at Lucia, "Like you said, it just makes things worse, doesn't it?

"Then you didn't think about resisting?"

Donner lowered his head and slowly squinted his eyes, as if ready to find the answer from the ground beneath his feet.

"I had a dream about the kind of charity hall where orphans were adopted, and the children in it who had no parents were very savage, and they fought every day, and of course, the younger children were more likely to be beaten. ”

Everyone looked at him, wondering why he was talking about such a dream.

"Some of them, in order to resist, can only become more cruel and vicious than the older children, until one day, everyone is afraid of them. ”

"Do you mean that you shouldn't resist, that you should be bullied if you're weak?" asked Roger.

Donner hesitated for a moment before replying, "No, I mean to say it's a sad dream. ”

"And what would you do if you were one of those little kids?" asked Kelly softly.

"I'll pray that I'll grow up soon. Donner replied with a smile, feeling a little like he shouldn't tell the story.

"Brother Wesley, where are you going for the Winter Trial?" Richard was a little confused by his brother's dream, and he preferred to talk more about things related to cultivation.

"Winter trials? I haven't thought about it, maybe go to the beach to soak up the sun, how about Lante Island?"

"Wesley, I've heard that the Whispering Forest in the eastern part of the province near the Thorn Empire has been rampant with thieves recently, and we are going to go there for a trial, are you interested in going?"

"Forget it, I prefer the seaside to the forest??"

"Lucia went with her. ”

“?? It suddenly occurred to me that it was appropriate to go to the forest in winter, and I wanted to see what a thief was like. "Wesley has no discipline at all.

"Brother Wesley, can I go with you?" Richard missed his father, but he still preferred the opportunity to go on an adventure.

"Of course, you can call your brother and Kelly to go together!"

"What am I going to do, I still have a job. ”

"The library is closed in the winter, so there's no work. Go, go, aren't you worried about Kylie being kidnapped?"

"yes, let's go together. Lucia whispered.

Donner also wanted to go everywhere in his heart, but he was afraid that his special identity would affect everyone's trial, but under the persuasion of Wesley and others, he still agreed, and the seven agreed to set off together in a few days to go to the trial in the Whispering Forest.
