Chapter 13: The Night of the Sea
Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood after doing a good deed, and it's rare for Saza to get up early today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lola and Sean also seem to be back to their usual state, and on the surface, at least there is hot broth and bread on the table.
"Early. ā
"Today you can indeed say early. I should use it today for an early morning this month. Sean served him a bowl of soup.
"yes, actually, I'm the least cost-effective this month. Saza replied with a smile. Because the childless month is only two weeks long.
Neither of them tacitly agreed not to mention the events of last night, as if nothing had happened. After a while, Lola finished her work and sat down. The three of them finished their breakfast as usual.
After saying goodbye, he walked out of the house, and Saza found that he was not the only one who got up early today, and it turned out that he had already woken up in the entire East District. The streets were now full of pedestrians, all of whom seemed to have smiles on their faces, as if they were all waiting for something good to come.
He remembered that on the fourth day of the childless month, tonight was the night of the sea gift! Since the family had only moved here later, they didn't have much feeling about this sea night yet. But from the hustle and bustle of seven o'clock in the morning, it is not difficult to see how special and important today is for those original residents.
Walking all the way to the West End, the lively atmosphere has only diminished a little, and this is no better than the East End full of civilians.
Neville School of Witchcraft and Wizardry still looked solemn, its towering iron doors like a pair of open hands, urging the young magic apprentices to speed up their pace, but one of the apprentices it conceived almost took a human life last night.
Walking into the classroom, sure enough, almost everyone was discussing the same topic with great interest, the night of the sea.
"Good morning, Saza. "It's Avis, and Saza has a good relationship with every boy.
"Early. ā
"Are you going to see the sea night tonight?" they called the sea night.
"Why not, shouldn't you let yourself relax after a long day here?" Saza remembered vividly what he had seen on the sea night last year, it was simply breathtaking, and he would not miss it this year.
"Then you're going with a few of us?" said Avis, gesturing to the four or five boys behind him, "and when we're done, we'll treat you to a supper!"
"Okay!" Saza readily agreed, and felt that the boys in the class liked to play with him, and it was the same when they went to school in their previous lives, after all, since they were going to play, it was definitely best to find someone who was looking for fun.
He looked at the boys that Ives had just mentioned, Barth, Byron, Burnett, and Eugene, all of whom were children of local commoners, and most of the families lived by the sea. He thought that since they had invited him so, then the supper in the evening must have been a delicious meal of seafood! Although there was never a shortage of seafood on the dinner table after Tinghai Town stayed, if it was seafood eaten on the sea night, it would definitely be very different from the ordinary things eaten on weekdays!
Leisure time always passed quickly, and Saza felt that after a few words with a few boys, the bell rang. Everyone sat back in their seats.
Then, naturally, the door opened, and Qi Lier hurried in. Yes, the real late veteran should be her, and Saza just accidentally stole her limelight the other day. Then she didn't even need to close the door, and Oya followed in.
The classroom fell silent, and everyone began their magic practice for the day.
Like yesterday, Ouya didn't leave until the lunch break, and the fat man mentioned that the instructor of the honor class in the first half of the day did not allow the apprentices to hunt, because most of the outermost demonic beasts in the Jekis Mountains were in a weak period during this time period, and hunting at this time was a shame for them, so there was no need to supervise during this time period. She had sat quietly all morning reading a book, and just by looking at her back Saza one could imagine that her blank expression was certainly not as pleasing to the eye as when she was asleep.
And Saza is much more honest today, last night's hero saving beauty once again ignited his enthusiasm for specializing in magic, in fact, he has always liked to specialize in magic, otherwise why would he still take the initiative to join Neville's constraints?
Whether it is an apprentice-level mage like him or a high-level mage or a sage-level mage, the most important part of studying magic is nothing more than a few parts: concluding a basic magic circle, burning and engraving magic patterns, and manipulating magic power.
He is now a zero-order first-level magic apprentice, and the demon source that has just awakened is still very weak, and the source grid that can be used to burn the magic array is only five squares, and now it is also occupied by the zero-order magic wind blade, wind teeth, four squares. Therefore, it is impossible to make a breakthrough in this area for the time being.
As for the burning of the magic pattern, it does not occupy the source grid, and the magic pattern can be burned on the magic source in an infinite amount. However, it is difficult to erase when it is engraved. Some magic patterns can be burned at will, but some magic patterns will also destroy a magic source if they form an abnormal magic circuit after burning, you must know that the magic pattern can not only affect the operation of the magic array, it was originally born for the magic source. Therefore, which magic patterns to burn were to be carefully considered and verified by long-term magic experiments, not to mention that those precious and powerful magic patterns were not at all something that an ordinary mage like him could obtain. Therefore, it is difficult to strengthen this aspect for the time being, and at most it is to try to experiment with new magic circuits a few times.
Finally, there is the ability to control magical power, which is not only determined by the mental strength of the person. It is indeed easier for people with strong spirits to control their magic power, but the most important thing is that the magic power itself is nurtured by the magic source, if the magic power itself is extremely restless and difficult to control, no matter how strong the spirit is, it is difficult to achieve a perfect fit with it. Of course, repeated practice can improve the control of the magic, but the improvement of this way, its benefits will become smaller and smaller. And he's practiced to the point where he barely sees the benefits.
So in general, the most reliable way for him to break through now is to advance, and when he is promoted to the second level of the zero order, he will have a new room for growth. The promotion of the magicians is also the promotion of the magic source. Through a long period of accumulation and growth, the magic source has undergone qualitative changes and become stronger, which is the promotion. Ever since he had killed the giant spur last time, he had a faint feeling that the Demon Source was showing signs of advancement, and maybe he would be able to advance when he had an opportunity.
But like today, joining up a magic circle in the classroom for a morning, or reading some theory books that are not available, will definitely not bring him any improvement. It's just that Saza thinks so.
At noon, under the kindness of Avis, Saza ate a good lunch without going home. Because in the past, fat people would treat him to lunch like this from time to time, so he was not worried that Sean and Laura would be in a hurry because they couldn't wait for him.
In the afternoon, Ouya really left. So Saza looked at the book he had brought from her, and waited for the fat man to come to him, thinking that after that we would go and see Knoll together. He waited, waited, until the incomprehensible words made him fall asleep on his stomach.
In the end, it was Ives who shook him awake, after Oya returned.
As soon as Saza looked up, he saw his mentor glaring coldly at him. He immediately became energetic: "Hello teacher!" Sleeping in the classroom is no less sinful than skipping class.
He saw her gaze move downward, and he looked down too, and saw the book he had borrowed from her, and a small patch of water on it that had not yet completely dried.
"I'm sorry... Mentor. Iā" Saza really wanted to slap himself in the face, how did he keep getting into such stupid trouble lately, and probably reunited with the stack of magic paper from yesterday, maybe they would bring a hundred or two new friends today.
Ouya took the book and closed it. He then tapped it on Saza's head, then turned around and walked out of the classroom with the book in his hand.
Her reaction surprised Saza a little, and it was all right, though a few hits on the head with the thick book were a bit weighty.
"The mentor probably spared you for the sake of Haiye. Ives patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, we need to get to the beach before dark." ā
Saza raised her eyebrows, bracing herself and following along. He was puzzled that the fat man hadn't come to him today, and a fleshy face happened to appear at the door of the classroom.
"Come, Saza, and talk to you about something. Jonathan shouted at him first.
Saza didn't think much of it, so he followed: "What's the matter?" Avis invited me to go with him to see the sea night, and then there's a big meal, so come too! I don't know how good they are compared to Noel..."
"Knoll was sentenced to be hanged. Jonathan led him to a place in the hallway away from the crowd, and happened to turn around and interrupt him at the mention of the name, "The execution is scheduled for Sunday." ā
Three days later?," Saza's face froze suddenly, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, trying to use that to mean that he smiled, "What are you kidding again?
"He didn't put it on, you know, at least we didn't," Jonathan took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, "I don't know what happened after we left, but at today's verdict, when the chain was close to Knoll again, nothing happened, nothing, nothing. So he was hanged for blasphemy against the forbidden chain. ā
"Impossible!!" Saza's roar drew the gaze of Aavis and the others who were waiting for him in the distance, "We saw it with our own eyes, the forbidden chain recognized him," he gestured to his eyes, and he suddenly thought of something, "yes! yes!
Jonathan grabbed the angry Saza, "Where are you going?"
"Don't you understand? Vess! It must be him! He's going to kill Knor!"
Indeed, after seeing the reaction between Noll and the Blue Devil Forbidden Chain that day, they thought that this matter was over perfectly, so the old Weiss, who they had been deeply suspicious of before, was ignored at that time. And now that things have become like this, the suspicion that Old Weiss is in the way is nothing more than the greatest.
"Calm down!Saza!Don't let anger clog your brain like shit!" This time it was the fat man's turn to yell, "That old Wess is long gone!And now is the time to settle accounts with him?What we have to do now is to get Knorr out!The perfect ending you have in mind shouldn't be for that damn old weasel to kneel in front of Noel's corpse and confess?" he stared into Saza's eyes, "Listen to me, I have a plan." ā
"Fuck it! It's a plan again!" Saza cursed fiercely, but finally held his forehead to calm himself down, "You say, how do we do it." ā
"Let's go with Ives to see the sea night first. The fat man pulled him up.
"What?"
"Believe me, we won't let Knoll die in such a humiliating gesture!
