768 Lanaya
Almost every city on the island of Thraland has a complete range of magical academies. And in the center of a territory like Dover, there are many colleges, which occupy an entire urban area, and those who excel in it can even get the opportunity to study in Sindwar.
According to Beverly, the public carriages in Dover City have a fixed route. Allegri looked over and saw that the buildings on both sides of the road were made of white stone, which was the Baicheng district he had visited.
With this opportunity, Allegri was able to see the city in its entirety. Behind the buildings facing the street, magic towers pierced into the sky, and in almost every block, you could see three or four towers, some of which were so similar in appearance that they seemed to have been carved out of a mold.
"Not that many layers...... he muttered to himself, glancing up and down. The magic towers along the roadside, either three or four storeys, seem to be designed to save land, and they often stand on top of the building, with buildings three or four storeys below and towers with spires above, so they stand out from the crowd.
"There's a magic tower at home, but it's a glorious thing. Beverly whispered beside her, leaning against the window and gazing enviously at the towers, which were a status symbol on the island of Thurland.
Hmph, what is this, Lao Tzu used to have a seven-story tower. Allegri thought disdainfully, but he didn't say it after all.
"You know what?" Beverly turned her head and said seriously, "The White City District and the Academy District are both lit with magical energy, and the lights are not extinguished all night. ”
"Huh?" Allegri couldn't help but be stunned, and asked curiously, "How did this happen?" Could it be that the magic tower in Dover City is still not connected?
"Through the web," Beverly replied. "The whole island of Thran is shrouded in a magic net. ”
"Magic web?" was Allegri's first time in the world he had heard the word. However, Beverly obviously didn't know much about this, and he asked for a long time. I didn't ask why. I only know that everything on the island of Serland is closely related to the magic web.
"Why are you asking so much?" Beverly said impatiently, "If you really want to know, I'll ask Lanaya for you later." ”
"Who is Lanaya?" Allegri raised an eyebrow.
"My sister, who studied at Evans Academy, became a four-ring mage at the age of fifteen. Beverly cocked her chin and said proudly.
"Is it true or false?" Allegri was a little unconvinced, if there really was such a sister with the status of a magician in the island of Thran. Why would Beverly do such a job?
"Of course it's true!" Beverly's eyes widened like a cat that had been stepped on its tail.
"Alright, well," Allegri reassured her, "but don't ask, don't forget, I'm an alchemist now." How can you not know the mystery of the magic web?"
"That's right," Beverly frowned slightly. waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll help you ask when I have a chance." ”
As he spoke, the carriage turned northward, and the terrain became higher and higher, and a noticeable slope could be felt.
Dover's College District. Located on the north-western plateau, it is lined with towers and shaded greenery.
Under the boulevard, energetic young boys and girls talked while walking. Laughter flies. They have beautiful textbooks in their hands, and the cover is painted with esoteric symbols.
The magic tower was full of light, and melodious bells could be heard in the distance, and the teenagers quickened their pace so as not to be punished for being late.
The carriage stopped, and Allegri and Beverly left the carriage. The two of them walked through the campus, looking out of place with their surroundings. Walking all the way to the Iron Arch, Beverly stepped forward and said softly, "Master, I'm here to visit my sister." ”
The doorman, who was also dressed in a mage robe, only had two white rings on his left sleeve, but this did not prevent his cold attitude, as well as his stiff tone, "Faculty, name." ”
"Arcane third-year, Lanaya. Beverly looked nervous about the real mage.
"Go over there and wait. The doorman gestured, then whistled. The gray owl squatting on the iron branch spread its wings and flew towards the school building in the forest.
Seeing that Allegri was still looking curiously, Beverly hurriedly pulled him back, so as not to anger the doorman. In the shade of the trees beside the road, there was a row of cast-iron benches, and Allegri sat down and glanced at the turquoise leaves, which must have been specially cultivated to be hardy.
"Don't mess around. Beverly whispered, here she was a little too restrained.
"Just for a look, what are you afraid of?" Allegri still didn't understand how high the status of a mage was in the hearts of the low-level civilians of Thraland Island.
Beverly wriggled him angrily, and was about to say something more, when there was a sound of footsteps next to her.
The girl, who also had long dark chestnut hair, walked out of the arch and stopped in front of the two.
Allegri glanced up and saw that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Beverly, the same almond eyes, but her body was more slender and her face was more delicate.
"Hurry up. Beverly tugged at his sleeve and urged.
"What are you doing here?" the girl named "Lanaya" said in a stiff tone, and even had a hint of disdain on her face.
"I'm here to see you. Beverly laughed and stepped forward to take the girl's hand, but was forced by her cold gaze and froze in place.
"Hello, Lanaya, I'm Igo the Alchemist," seeing the awkward atmosphere in the room, Allegri hurriedly said in a relieved voice, "I used to hear your sister mention you. ”
Beverly gave him a grateful look, and Lanaya looked at him and asked suspiciously, "...... are you?"
"I'm hers...... Boyfriend. Allegri hesitated for a moment, but replied with a smile. Anyway, it was just a matter of words, and he didn't really care.
Lanaya's expression was strange, and she looked at Beverly and then Allegri in disbelief, and finally said, "I'm sorry, I want to talk to her alone." ”
"Please. Allegri stretched out his hands, turned and walked away a few steps, but the senses that had been transformed by the "Light Godhead" were all mobilized.
"Is he really your boyfriend?" was Lanaya's voice.
"yes, he's an alchemist, and he earns two gold coins a month...... Beverly chattered.
"I'm going to call you sister," Lanaya interrupted. "This Mr. Igo is an honest man at first glance, and you know what you are doing, so why bother him?"
Hearing this, Allegri didn't know whether to say that she was kind. Still ruthless. Obviously, Lanaya also knew that Beverly was in the skin business, and her words were not only sympathy for Allegri, but also pierced Beverly's heart.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm not going to do it," Beverly replied weakly, "I'm now helping Igo with the herbs and making the alchemy potion......
"Then you can tell me, the most common evening primrose. How do you grind it?" Ranaya pierced her mercilessly, "As soon as I saw you, I smelled the stench of powder. ”
"This ......," Beverly hung her head in silence, and after a long time, she pulled out a small cloth bag from her bosom, and the coins inside collided and jingled.
"This is what I saved, you take it and spend it. Beverly whispered.
"I don't want to. Lanaya said resolutely. I can't wait to draw a line with this discredited sister.
"I heard that your teacher passed away not long ago. You must be in a difficult situation right now, right?" Beverly looked at her sister, her gray robe adorned with fine patches of stitches.
"You don't care. The girl just shook her head.
One of them insisted on giving, and the other resolutely refused to accept it, and froze in place for a while. Allegri sighed. Or walked over and persuaded, "We're all sisters, so why bother?"
"Are you really an alchemist?" Suspicion of his sister spread to Allegri, and the girl stared at him. Fox asked suspiciously, "Then tell me, what is the key to grinding evening primrose?"
"The leaves are left to dry in the dark, they must be kept in their original color, and fluorescent stone powder is added when grinding......" Just when Beverly was worried in her heart, Allegri lazily replied, evening primrose is one of the most common magic grasses. I'm afraid that the evening primrose on the island of Thurland was transplanted from the mainland.
"In general...... No difference. Lanaya nodded reluctantly. Although there are already magic-powered dryers in the academy, the alchemists at the bottom will still use the more cost-effective shade drying method.
"You can take the money," Allegri took the money bag and stuffed it into her hand, "It's a big deal to pay it back later." ”
Lanaya hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse. She is now extremely embarrassed, and last week's spell scroll work was simulated by herself for a long time, and then borrowed someone else's ink to complete it.
"Yo, isn't this Lanaya-san?" At this moment, a boy with freckles on his face came over and said in a strange manner.
"Go back. Lanaya's face changed slightly, and she urged in a low voice.
"Finally I can't help it, do you want to use your ** sister's money? If she wants to earn so much, how much sweat does she have to shed. The boy scoffed viciously.
"Arcane Missile!" Ranaya almost gritted her teeth as she cast the spell. To Allegri's surprise, she didn't chant the incantation, nor did she chant the spell silently, but shouted the name of the spell, and then a series of silver-gray missiles shot out, heading straight for the boy a dozen paces away.
Oh no, the spell was shot, and the girl reacted and had a private fight in the academy area, but she had to be punished.
On the other side, the boy smiled slightly, and did not cast a magic shield. On the contrary, he stretched out his hands and deliberately met them.
Missiles hit the body, and the robe was torn open a few times. There was a flash of magical light inside, and it was clear that the boy was rich and wore enchanted armor. Therefore, only the mage robe was damaged, but not the body.
But the boy covered his waist and abdomen and cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, you hurt me...... And this robe, but Lady Winnie cut it with her own hands, and it cost ten gold coins, so you can pay me quickly. ”
He deliberately didn't cast the shield, otherwise, the two of them would only be one ring, and the Arcane Missile wouldn't have hurt him at all. Lanaya came to her senses, her little face pale. For her, ten gold coins was already an unimaginable number, and the other party's so-called injury was more like a bottomless pit, enough to swallow her with a bone.
A police whistle sounded in the distance, and the doorman seemed to notice a conflict on this side.
"You guys go quickly. Allegri just thought about it and straightened it out. Seeing that the sisters were still standing in place at a loss, he turned to Beverly and emphasized, "If you don't want to ruin your sister's future, hurry up and leave, I'll be in charge here...... Also, let her never admit that she cast an arcane missile. ”
Beverly was stunned, looked at him deeply, and immediately pulled the reluctant Lanaya away. The boy was still about to scream, but Allegri had already caught up with him and stopped him.
"Who are you?
"I am your mother's concubine. Allegri smiled and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Taking advantage of his rage, he swung his fist and slammed it into the face.
"Kid, the stupidest thing you can do is to let a mid-level martial artist come near you," Allegri muttered as he thumped him, tearing his robes by the way, "Didn't your teacher teach you that keeping your distance from the enemy is the first rule of a mage?"
"You dare to hit me?" the guy was stunned and would question the fact that he was happening.
"What do you think I'm doing, silly boy?" Allegri smirked, but his movements didn't stop. Seeing that the traces of the missile were no longer visible, he was about to stop, when a loud shout came from behind him,
"Paralyzing Ray!"
Bound by the magic, his body instantly froze, and Allegri fell to the ground, unable to even move his little finger.
After about two or three minutes, the spell on his body was unraveled, and the street patrol mage with the fourth ring on his left sleeve summoned the two parties over.
"He hit me!" the boy angrily pointed at Allegri, "You, put him in jail immediately." ”
"You hit him?" waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and the middle-aged mage asked solemnly.
"That's right, I did it. "Allegri should be all down.
"He also has an accomplice, Lanaya, a third-year Arcane department," the boy was unrelenting, "she just took advantage of the chaos to run, quickly get her back." ”
"Is that so?" the middle-aged mage frowned and turned to ask Allegri.
"They had already left, saying that they were going to buy some evening primrose ink," Allegri said grinningly, "and it was this boy who came to provoke me, so I couldn't hold back and beat him." ”
"Do you have any witnesses, or evidence?" the middle-aged mage asked responsibly.
You ask him. The boy gestured to the doorman who was approaching.
"I didn't see anything. The doorman shook his head blankly, he was so far away that by the time he got closer, Allegri was already beating the pesky boy.
"Okay," the middle-aged mage thought for a moment, took out a silver badge, and shook it in front of the two of them, "The Municipal Department of Public Security, the head of the street patrol mage, Zhanawa, please come back with me." ”
