Chapter 1: A not-so-wonderful reunion

Rick looked at the view at the soles of his feet. The street tree looks like it's only a tiny one, and pedestrians don't seem to be the size of a bean. He was flying a few stories high that he didn't know he had.

As for how high he would be above the ground, look at him: he was clutching the two talons of a giant eagle. He didn't hold on to it all by grip, there was a sturdy special strap tied to the eagle's foot and his left wrist, and he tightened the strap around his hand to support most of his weight, so that Rick was quite leisurely, not worried about falling from exhaustion.

He should have cast a height restriction spell before the eagle was released. He didn't expect this guy to fly straight up as soon as he came out of the cage, and by the time the spell was completed, he was already hanging in mid-air.

Syk flew through the middle of a large group of tall buildings (caught by giant eagles), and the people in the buildings were stunned to see him pass by. There was a child who had been biting on a sandwich and laughed when he saw him pass by, and the sandwich fell on his leg, a group of young girls invited their friends to the window to watch, and a couple was doing shy things against the glass, and they rushed to pick up their clothes in fright.

Xi Ke nodded in return to many eyes very seriously. He wears a wide-sleeved uniform with royal blue trim on a gray background, indicating that he is a "magician", which should reduce the chances of witnesses reporting the crime, and then the fire brigade starts to worry about where to park the ladder truck or simply find a helicopter. After all, no matter what happens to mages, it's normal, and they have their own way to solve it.

Rick whistled to influence the wind and sun, forcing the eagle to fly in the direction he wanted. This is a new trick he has only recently learned, and he is not yet proficient, and he has made many mistakes, and he has not been able to perform fine manipulations to make the giant eagle land.

The Eagle was rather unhappy and wanted to rush upwards, but the spell Tick had cast earlier prevented it from flying higher.

There are many ways to think about it, including conjuring the shot put to increase the weight, but all of them are risky and not feasible. As the eagle grabbed him and flew towards the sun, he finally remembered that a friend was eating at the restaurant with a view on the tall building, so he interfered with the eagle and made it fly towards the building.

It's not easy to confirm a friend's location. Rick released the demon Ash and asked him to find it. As a result, a gray mist poured out of the silver box around Rick's neck, making it appear as if he was moving forward with smoke coming out, suggesting that there might be a fire in the center of the smoke. So the mouths of the people watching from the tall buildings opened even wider. The errands were no longer in a hurry to pick up their clothes, but stared at the smoke and flew by.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Rick to maintain this state, and Ash found his target. Otherwise, even if he is a mage, he is still likely to alarm the fire brigade, because the mage is burning and scurrying at the same time, and there are too many accidents in history in which Zuihou burns a city.

Wick finds the target building and locks on to the location of the target box. He stared at the glass and swallowed. In order to prevent accidents from falling, the windows of high-rise buildings in public places are locked, and people cannot enter or exit. Rick could only use the wall-piercing technique, but he wasn't as good at it as Naimor.

If you fail, ask Master to compensate for the glass!

Vick plucked up his courage and interfered with the eagle rushing towards the glass. He closed his eyes tightly and silently recited the distorted incantation: "Open, wall of glass. Thou art a phantom, and thou shalt not stand in the way...... Please, make way for me!"

With a loud "bump", Rick and the eagle passed through the large glass window. He squatted on the ground and stood up, looking back at the windowpane. The glass was unbroken, but in the middle there was an area in the shape of a giant eagle with wings spread and a human silhouette at its feet, densely covered with cracks. If you touch it a little more, it will probably open a hole.

Xi Ke silently put the strap of his left hand long, and walked to the window to repair it with a spell. It's easier for him to fix glass than it is to go through a wall.

In this box, there is a large table with orange towels, and the giant eagle stands on top of it, eating the food on the table, bringing barbecued meat and steamed fish to his mouth.

Nick's friend Xiao Zong sat on one side of the table, and even though he had known Tick for almost four years, his eyes were still wide in surprise at Nick's behavior of breaking through the window and attaching a giant eagle.

"How did you come in from here?" asked Xiao Zhen with his hands propped up on the table.

Nick replied casually, "It's a gorgeous accident that everyone has to experience once in their lifetime. 」

"Can I give you my credit?"

"I've over-quoted many times, please don't help me add more. 」

After Xi Ke finished talking to Xiao Xuan, he also finished repairing the glass. He tapped the back of his hand on the glass to make sure there was no hidden crack, and only then did he notice a young girl sitting on the other side of the table, across from the ballast.

She was about eighteen years old, with a delicate heart-shaped face, a pair of affectionate eyes, and wore a white ruffled collar blouse with a flowing knee-length skirt. If you look closely, you will find that she has painted makeup, but it is very natural, almost imperceptible, and only subtly reinforces her natural freshness. A long honey-colored hair with soft parting. Wearing a pair of silver star drop earrings, the style is ordinary, but she looks great in it.

She wasn't frightened by this unusual way of appearing, but just tilted her head slightly, staring at him curiously and quietly.

"Did I disturb you?" asked Rick as he approached the ballast.

"Actually, you came just in time. Xiao Zhu said.

"Don't worry, I won't say it. Xi Ke emphasized his brother's righteousness and would never reveal this information to the other girl Xiao Zhen was chasing.

"Thanks, but it's not what you think. Xiao Zhen nodded.

"It's okay, I'll borrow a magic ladder to go downstairs, Zaijian!" Rick led the giant eagle and was about to walk to the door of the box.

"Wait!" "Wait a minute!"

Xiao Ji grabbed Rick's wrist, and the girl grabbed Tick's sleeve and forced him to stop.

"Huh?"

"If you go out now, you'll run into a monster aunt guarding the door outside. The girl said earnestly to Rick.

"Is this a curse?" asked Rick.

"No, it's true. 」

"Where's the youkai aunt?" Rick turned and picked up the roast beef skewers on the table to eat.

"My aunt. The girl said.

"Could this beβ€”" Rick turned to ask the ballast.

"Blind date. Xiao Zhen replied reluctantly, "The elders on my side have already made excuses to slip away. But her aunt was still stuck at the door, so the two of us had to sit here and stare at each other. 」

"The family background is too good, that's the trouble. Rick nodded. If he speaks, there will never be anyone who will escort his juniors to him on a blind date, and it will be too late to prevent his daughter from getting to know him.

The girl stared at Syke, her eyes blinking, and the concentration in her eyes seemed to have no meaning. Rick wasn't scared or uncomfortable with this, but he thought it was unusual.

"Now we have an eagle and a mage. The girl said.

"No, I had an eagle, and then I was a mage. Nick corrected the girl's words, but in vain.

The girl pointed to the window and said, "An exit." 」

The implication was that the eagle and the mage would transport the young man who had been forced to go on a blind date.

"Even if I cast a spell to help this eagle, I think it would only carry two people at most. Rick stared at the table full of food, and in this way, he didn't need to produce the spell materials himself.

There's a guy who wants to stay and face the monster aunt. Because that person wouldn't be Xi Ke, Xi Ke was very relieved to appreciate Xiao Zhen and the girl fighting between heaven and man.

"Can you fly twice?" asked Ballast.

"I don't think this guy will agree. Rick said, grabbing the eagle's strap. He could feel that one hit the glass was enough to displease him. Cheek continued, "Actually, I'd rather recommend that you go downstairs. 」

The ballast and the girl looked out the window, apparently to confirm how tall it was. There is no doubt that if Xike's spell is wrong, this height will definitely turn into meat sauce.

"I'd better stay and face itβ€”okay. Xiao Zhen shook his head. He omitted the blocking of the door that he didn't want to think about.

"Then I'll go first. Rick said, lockpicking the window open, ready to fly out. He was going to cast a more complex spell that would automatically close and lock the window when he went out, and restore it to its original state. He didn't want any wingless fool to rush out of the window and get the restaurant sueped.

Syk happily casts chain spells. He muttered incantations, calculated the mechanics of the lock, twisted the spell energy with his fingertips, and placed them in place by the window. He liked the jishu that was so subtle and packed with a lot of knowledge and rigor that it was structured. A mage may be able to create a puddle of dazzling lava or shatter a wall with a talent alone, but closing and locking a window without a key or additional mechanism is something that only a highly trained mage can do.

Rick was too focused to notice the girl staring at him. When he finished the spell and exhaled, the girl said, "I'll fly out with you. 」

"Huh?" Rick was surprised. She only met Xi Ke today, and she didn't know what Xi Ke's skills were as a mage, so she actually planned to trust Xi Ke and fly with Xi Ke? This kind of bet is too risky.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll make a mistake?" asked Rick. He didn't know each other yet, and asked the other party if he was worried about being robbed by himself. It's dangerous to fly in a stranger's car with a stranger.

The girl just blinked, smiled at Xike, and replied without saying a word. She used her divine eye to let Xike know that she knew what she was doing, and that she had a set of reliable standards in her heart, not on the spur of the moment.

"Okay. Xike doesn't say that he is not good. He robbed the beef skewers on the table as a spell casting material, and cast a spell on the giant eagle to increase the lift of the air current, and by controlling this spell, he was also able to make the giant eagle fly lower and lower with two people as "ballast stones". While some of the top mages can control gravity in the lab, it is only possible to control the speed at which the air currents move up and down the eagle's wings to change the lift.

Then he tied the strap of the other foot of the giant eagle to the girl's hand. He and the girl were hanging on one foot.

"It's rude!" Just in case, Nick grabbed the girl's waist and pulled the eagle towards the window with a spell. Without waiting for Xi Ke to push him, he himself flapped his wings and wanted to fly out.

Before being pulled out of the window by the giant eagle, the girl politely said goodbye to Xiao Jiao: "Mr. Ballast, Zaijian!"

Then at the moment when he pulled out of the window, Xi Ke heard Xiao Zhen's answer, which made his head go blank for a moment.

"Zaijian, Miss Schuilonu!"
