Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 37 Cherry

Because the rain was a bit heavy, the three of them couldn't really see it. It wasn't until the thing came into view that they realized that it was a four-wheeled carriage, also pulled by two unicorns, similar to the one that Miss Winslow had ridden in when she came. It's just that this car canopy is black, basically without any decoration, and it looks much more modest.

When the carriage came to a slow stop in front of them, they just in time to hear the last time chime from the nearby chiming birds.

But there was no one in the car.

"It's weird, there's not even a single person driving. Riel said.

"Unicorns have a good memory, and after being trained, they will be fixed to and fro on the same road, and they don't need to be driven. Alan explained. He opened the door and said, "Let's get in the car first, I don't know how long they'll stay here." ”

So Alyssa and Riel closed their umbrellas and got into the car first.

The magic lights inside the roof light light up automatically. There are three envelopes on the saddle, one for Allen, one for Riel, and one for Alyssa. Alan and Riel's letters are on the same side, and Alyssa's is on the opposite side. They sat down on the envelope and opened it. Through the dim light, Alan saw that it was written on the letterhead:

Dear Mr. Alan Paterner,

First of all, congratulations on successfully passing the final exam and obtaining the qualification to enter the Krivari Higher School of Magic. You have proven that you are one of the most outstanding of them all, and you deserve that qualification. Then I would like to say that what awaits you is a magical castle beyond your imagination, a place where all the children on this continent who have the same potential as you are, and I hope that you will be able to withstand the pressure to continue your journey, and finally I sincerely wish you a meaningful three years here and a lifetime of honor!

Negris Winslow

After reading it, Alan looked at the letter in Ryel's hand again, and found that everything was exactly the same except for the name at the beginning.

"Negris Winslow, isn't that the guy Mr. Odrian mentioned?" asked Riel.

"Hmm. Alan replied simply.

"I remember Mr. Audrian said a lot about him, what did he talk about?"

"Hmm...... It's not anything special," said Allen, after a moment's thought, "he's just talking about his time working at Mr. Winslow's house. ”

"Okay. Rare didn't feel interested in the Winslows, so he stopped asking.

Then the carriage began to move, and it became faster and faster, but strangely they could only hear the sound of the wheels rolling on the ground, but not the slightest sound of horses' hooves. Riel looked out through the glass window and saw that the two unicorns were covered with something like mist near their hooves, so they could only be seen running fast without making the slightest sound.

After about ten minutes of running, they found that they seemed to have said goodbye to the quiet mountains completely, because it was no longer raining outside the window.

It's already dark, and Riel is worried if the two unicorns won't be able to see the way. However, Eren told him that they had good eyesight, and that they often ran the road, and that even with their eyes closed, they could take them to Krivari.

But Alyssa didn't speak, her eyes seemed to be staring at the roof of the car, and it seemed like she was looking at the dim magic lamp.

Alan seemed to understand something, and began to look around the car as if looking for something.

Riel looked confused, wondering what was wrong with the two men, one keeping his eyes on the roof of the car while the other searched around in the car.

Finally, Alan noticed a small word "Clear" written near the car door on his right, and nodded in satisfaction.

Riel saw it and asked, "What does that word mean here?"

"I don't know, but it's worth a try," Allen said. With that, he put his palm on the word, injected a little magic into it, and shouted, "Clear!" They looked at the roof of the car and found that the black on it was slowly fading, like a curtain being slowly lifted, the entire roof was becoming clear and translucent, and the night sky was shining with countless stars that had never been seen in Beya, shining one by one, like diamonds inlaid in the night sky. The glimmer in the car is the starlight that spills in from outside the car. The three of them were almost stunned.

Alan continued to inject magic, and in a short time, the entire carriage had become crystal clear, not only the night sky, but also the scenery outside the window.

The weather was sunny and there was not a single cloud. They looked to the east and saw a last quarter moon rising over the horizon, which they could see clearly because there were no wheat fields or trees on either side to obscure their vision. Although it is not as dazzling as the full moon, for them, it is the first time in their lives that they have seen a beautiful scenery, and it is beautiful enough to make people intoxicated.

"Alan. Alyssa suddenly spoke.

"What?" Alan looked back into the car and looked at Alyssa.

"This ...... Please take it. Alyssa said as she handed over a small bottle.

Alan took it, and by the moonlight, he saw that it contained a lot of small red fruits, and if he didn't look closely, he might mistake it for old Adrian's air candy.

"What is this?" due to the lack of light and the fact that he had been reading too many books lately, his eyes seemed to be a little short-sighted, and he couldn't see what it was.

"Cherry. Alyssa lowered her head and whispered, not seeing her expression, "This is the cherry tree I planted myself at home, and it only bears so much...... Hope you enjoy it. ”

"Oh...... Thank you. Alan was a little confused, and thought for a while before he remembered these words: "It looks like the taste should be very good." ”

Alyssa didn't speak, just looked at him.

"What about me? what about mine?" "Riel was a little anxious.

Alyssa was amused by Riel's reaction and pursed her lips and smiled, but immediately fell silent before taking out another small bottle and handing it to him.

Through the moonlight, Riel discovers that this is the last time Old Adrian gave her the bottle of air candy in the candy house.

"To be honest, I don't really like sugar, especially this ...... Uh, candy that gets weird in your mouth...... I only ate one. Alyssa said slowly, "Actually, it still tastes good, it's just ...... Well...... It's not my favorite style. ”

"Hmm...... I hope it tastes the same, and knowing that you love it, you can accept Mr. Adrian's heart for me. Alyssa saw that Riel didn't speak, and added.

"Uh...... All right...... I do...... Uh, I like to eat this. After hearing this, Riel scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Hey, you're looking good, Mrs. Dalk made it for you. Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to be a little awkward, Alan took the initiative to divert the topic.

Alyssa wore a brown pullover sweater today, with a large red maple leaf rusted on it, and the pattern looked exquisite, but it was a little bit bigger, and it didn't look very fit.

"It's true that my grandmother made it herself, but it wasn't for me," Alyssa said lightly, "it's for my mother." ”

"Well, all we know is that you've always lived with your grandmother and never told us about your parents...... Do they work far away?" asked Riel.

"I passed away not long after I was born. Alyssa still looked calm, but her tone seemed to be full of sadness. She didn't look at Riel, her eyes unnaturally moved back out the window.

"Uh...... I'm so sorry. Riel said awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter. Alyssa said. Probably seeing that Riel was a little embarrassed, she took the initiative to continue, "I never met them, and my grandmother rarely mentioned them to me, all I know is that they all used to work in the security department of Crivari, and later died in the line of duty. This dress was worn when she died in the line of duty. ”

"Oh...... Then they're amazing. Riel said.

Alyssa glanced back at him and said lightly, "Thank you." Then he twisted his head back again.

"I haven't met my parents either. Hearing Alyssa say this, Alan also suddenly said, "So I can probably understand your feelings." ”

"Where are your parents?" asked Alyssa, staring at Alan.

"I don't know. "I just heard from Uncle Dean that three days after I was born, they set out to find something, and their whereabouts are still unknown...... Fourteen years, they never came back once, didn't show up, didn't even write to me, and all I remember about them is this pendant that my mother left me before leaving. As he spoke, he pulled the "tears of the sky" out of his neck. This small sky-blue droplet of water looks crystal clear and sparkling in the moonlight, and looks extremely charming.

"It's beautiful. Alyssa looked at it and said, "I think they must love you." ”

"Probably. Alan smiled, turned his head out of the window, and said no more.

Alyssa returned to admiring the moonlight and starlight, and Riel didn't speak again.

I don't know how long the carriage has been running, but Rare is already getting sleepy anyway, and his head keeps falling to the side of the carriage, but fortunately, the road is still relatively smooth, and it doesn't feel very bumpy. After a few more moments, Riel fell asleep with his head against the window.

Originally, it was Alyssa who was the most sleepy, but she seemed to be attracted by the scenery outside the window, and now she seems to be in good spirits. She propped her arms on the edge of the window, dragged her cheeks with her hands, and looked out without blinking, as if she was afraid that she would miss out on many beautiful scenery in the blink of an eye.

Alan looked at Alyssa's side face looking out the window with some fascination.

"It would be nice if time could stop at this moment. Or let the carriage go on and on, never stopping. ”
