Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Art of the Elements
When Yingma woke up, at least the first thing that came to mind was not yesterday's kiss.
"Lucy Tulip," he muttered, and then got dressed, and was just about to stand up and put on his heavy black Sévar robe, when he heard a soft argument outside the door.
"Good morning, follower Carly Jasmine, today I would like to have breakfast with my lover and begin a simple magic weaving class of fire and ice, and I hope you will allow me. ”
Carly Jasmine would have stood at the door of Inma's room every morning to start his day with breakfast for the beginners, but when Carly Jasmine arrived today, she found that her compatriot, the follower Lucy Tulip, had already arrived, and was neither wearing a hood nor a mask.
"Follower Lucy Tulip, allow me to remind you of your attire, as Follower Scholars, it is necessary for us to wear the Sévar Mask to protect ourselves from the erosion of our spell flow by the Filthy Shadows," Carly Jasmine said earnestly, without showing the slightest hint of uneasiness or confusion at Lucy's words.
But Lucy Tulip smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding my followers Carly, I'll be mindful of my outfit when I walk out of the Dragonthroat Tower." Before he finished speaking, he was going to knock on Yingma's door.
No one could see Carly Jasmine's expression, but it was certain that the follower had only doubts about how he had felt so far about the matter: "What was the lover you just mentioned?" She wasn't a particularly intelligent girl, let alone full of disdain for worldly matters.
"I'd like to have breakfast with my lover, beginner Inma, I wonder if you can allow it?" Her eyes sparkled with victory, and she thought she could use this to upset Carly, but she didn't expect her follower Carly Jasmine to just say lightly, "Of course, but I hope you can tolerate the noise he makes while enjoying Sevar's chowder." ”
"No, no, thank you. Lucy Tulip knocked on the door, and then heard Yingma's shout, "Okay! I'm going to open the door." Before he could finish speaking, the two followers saw Yingma, who was neatly dressed (at least more neatly than in the previous seven days), standing in front of them, and the boy from Yuanxin City seemed surprised that there were two followers in the doorway.
"Good morning, Yingmawuai. ”
"Beginner Ingma, may the light of dawn shine on your sword and staff forever. ”
"Good morning, Lucy, Carly, good morning. Yingma was a little overwhelmed, so he had to give some ceremonial greetings to Séval, and there was already some cold sweat on his forehead, and then the kiss from last night immediately came to his heart.
His guide, Carly Jasmine, didn't say a word, and quietly set up the cutlery, and I don't know where she took out the three sets of cutlery, which seemed to be prepared for the uninvited guest Lucy Tulip.
As soon as Yingma sat down and was about to open her mouth to explain what it was, she heard Lucy Tulip's crisp and pleasant voice say, "Thank you follower Carly Jasmine, I wonder if I have the honor to prepare three meals for Yingma on your behalf?"
Unexpectedly, Carly Jasmine's tone was cold and resolute: "No. I am his guide, and I am responsible for keeping his food from being tainted by the Shadows, and I swear to both the Herald of Enlightenment and the Presbyterian Church. Thank you anyway, though. ”
Without saying a word, Ima scooped up a spoonful of the soup and stole a glance at the two of them, only to see that Lucy was still so beautiful and smiling at her, while the guide, Carly Jasmine, was still wearing a Sévar mask and a hood, sitting opposite her.
The strange atmosphere of breakfast was soon over, Lucy Tulip took Inma's hand and walked out of the Dragon's Throat Tower, and went to the Ruins near the Gate of Sevar to start today's simple elemental magic lesson, Lucy smiled so naturally and happily, and when Ima walked out of his room, he couldn't help but look back, his eyes full of uneasiness, and the eyes on Carly Jasmine's mask collided.
"Beginner Imma Rod, I hope you can concentrate today, because fire is the most direct offensive magic, and ice is the most basic defensive magic. This was said by Carly Jasmine, her tone still indifferent, like a breeze at the top of a lonely peak.
But after a while, the same words also came from the mouth of Yingma's lover Lucy Tulip, but this time the tone was full of tender love, just like "honey imported from the southern city", but Lucy Tulip is indeed from Yingxi City, the largest city in the south.
The last time I came to this ruined land was more than seven days ago with the guide Carly Jasmine, but today it was with his lover, Lucy Tulip, but Ima still felt full of surprise and discomfort, just like Lucy Tulip's soft hand held him, he couldn't help but recite the wind control spell in his mind.
He had been a servant of the City of Origins that no one looked down upon, then a week ago he had become a cultist of the Order of Sévar against the Shadows, and now he was the lover of this beautiful, noble, gentle and lovely follower of Sévar who was half a head taller than himself. He didn't know how he came up with the idea of calling her "Lucy My Love", probably from the old inn guests of one man and one woman, and usually called their partners like this by young noble children.
But how did Lucy Tulip like him? Yingma didn't dare to ask this question, his first reaction seemed to be that he could boast to the stupid Haiyan that he had such a beautiful and noble companion - which would make Haiyan jealous.
Even so, Ima still doesn't have the slightest grasp of the essence of these two spells today.
And on the same day, thousands of miles away in Yuanxin City, his childhood sweetheart Yi Luolian had almost mastered all the primary-level elemental magic.
"Mia, don't move. ”
Between the magnificent quartz walls of Origin Heart City, in this small, exquisitely built garden, the newly minted court mage Elolian was scanning the target with one eye.
It was a scarecrow, held in place with a stick and twine, and Mia, Elolian's mage attendant, was holding the stick at the lower end, wearing a full-body iron armor, and despite all his ability to calm down, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Why are you shaking? Aren't you usually so polite! This kind of juncture is the time to test you as Miss Ben's court mage attendant! Okay then! Don't worry, your iron armor protects you, don't be nervous, be good!" "Elolyn finally put on the long dress requested by the members of the mage group led by Tyberni today, but this beautiful pink dress could not hide her mischievous temper in the slightest, as if she was standing on a stone with one foot at the moment to make herself look taller.
In her left hand, she held a string of dangerous fireball spell energy streams, flickering with red-yellow flames, and in her right hand, she was fiddling with a slightly safer stream of wind energy - these were her childhood sweethearts, and Yingma could only watch in amazement.
However, as a street boy, Eloline didn't expect her talent in spells to be so amazing, even though Tyberne told her it was because she was a descendant of the legendary hero "The Spell Destroyer". But the girl was still very happy to have amazing skills, and today she had finally completed all the basic elemental magic tutorials that other court mage apprentices would take half a year to master.
"Okay, let's go first, and see if this fireball I summoned can penetrate the middle of this scarecrow. Her clawed left hand pointed at the scarecrow, and the flickering of the red light grew more and more intense.
"Oh my God, she looks like a quiet little girl, but she's actually a madman!" Mia exclaimed, and then she felt a violent shock in her grip on the hands that supported the scarecrow, and felt that she was still alive, and looked up to see that the center of the poor scarecrow had been charred, but the fire had not spread, which was the highest achievement of fireball magic. Mia hurriedly shouted with rejoicing, "Yay, congratulations, Miss Ilolian, your spell has hit the target!"
The court mage Elolian also felt very happy, so without the slightest hesitation or foreshadowing, the strong wind spell in her right hand was immediately cast.
Without the slightest warning, Mia was immediately overwhelmed by the strong wind, and as soon as she got out of her hands, the scarecrow flew into the air with the strong wind summoned by Irolian, and then it broke down into bunches of straw, which immediately made the originally exquisite lawn and flowers look embarrassed.
"It's useless! I might as well hold the scarecrow with the wind with one hand and try the 'strong wind' with the other! Elolian's expression of disappointment and annoyance flashed, and Mia's tone returned to her usual politeness and softness: "The higher Miss's achievements in spells, the happier I am." ”
"Phew, don't come to these clichés, you want to say that as long as Miss doesn't kill me, it's the biggest reward, isn't it?" Elolyn jumped down from the stone with her skirt and pointed to the straw scattered all over the ground, "These, and those over there, I see that the guys cleaning in the palace are also quite tired, since these are all caused by you, you can go and pick them up for me one by one, thank you for your hard work!"
