In Smith's expectant gaze, Erlang sighed: "I still can't agree to apprenticeship." ”

Mark was dumbfounded, Nick was stunned, and Smith sighed softly.

"It's not that Erlang doesn't know what to do, it's really hard. At the moment, Erlang has no amnesia, and apprenticeship should be a big deal, I don't know what family I come from, and whether there are family rules in the family. Erlang also doesn't know if he already has a master, how can he go to someone else's door without the master's consent. So I beg your pardon. ”

"Let's go, this matter is over, it's the old man's inconsiderate consideration. ”

Erlang was helpless, confessed his guilt, and chatted a few more words. It was obvious that the old man was already absent-minded, so Erlang pulled Mark to leave.

As soon as he went out, Mark complained about Erlang, and Erlang shook his head helplessly. While he was talking, Nick came out and called Jiro back to the house. The two passed by, and Nick said in a low voice: "The old man's heart is sick, Erlang, you take care of it." With that, Nick turned around and closed the door, dragging Mark away.

Jiro goes back to the house, and Smith sees Jiro and asks Jiro to sit down next to the bed.

"Erlang, the old man didn't think about what happened just now. ”

"It's fine. ”

"The old man is sixty-five this year, and he has no heirs under his knees, and he is alone and has no worries. I was very upset when Thomas said that he would return to Heaven and wash the Church of Light in blood. ”

"Thomas can make a comeback, why can't you?"

"Because I'm not motivated. There's nothing in the world that I can be nostalgic for. ”

"There is no greater mourning than death. ”

"Yes, I still remember the evaluation you once gave me, Erlang: coward. I admit to being a coward. ”

Erlang quietly looked at Smith on the bed, at this moment, he was no longer the Shining Continent's Bright Saint Son, the magical power of calling the wind and rain, he was just an old man who was resigned to his fate and waiting for death.

"Strength, is it really that important?" Jiro muttered to himself.

"Erlang, I have two books here, and now I entrust them to you. In the future, he helped me find someone who was destined to teach him two books. So I'm relieved. ”

Next, do you want me to read it for myself, and ask you if I don't understand?

"Erlang, you take a look first, there's something you don't understand. I'm not dead yet, I'll explain it to you first, so that you won't lose the essentials in the future. ”

Old man, but you sent it to the door, don't blame me? Erlang has a plan in his heart.

"Shi Lao, you entrusted the wrong person, Erlang is illiterate. ”

The old man almost sat up and coughed several times.

"It's okay if you don't know how to read, the old man can teach you to read. ”

"Are you sure you're not dead?"

"The old man has his own plans! ”

"Jiro is tired today, let's do it tomorrow. Rest for now. Jiro spoke, turned around, and he left.

Smith looked at Erlang's back, and on the one hand, he was aggrieved to death, but on the other hand, he was full of longing.

In the next few days, Smith really began to teach Jiro to read, and was shocked by Jiro's talent. He even wondered if Erlang was playing tricks on him, he was already literate.

When he took out his first book, On the Mysteries of Magic, Jiro's eyes lit up. He was also curious about what magic was magical.

Smith was very patient, repeatedly telling Erlang about the knowledge in the book, Erlang listened quietly, which was unpredictable, in fact, after reading it for the first time, he had already memorized it, and he should need to digest it.

It took a whole day to finish the first book, Smith looked tired, Erlang looked in his eyes, but didn't say anything.

The next day, Smith sat up early, leaning back on the bed, and he was waiting for Jiro. On this day, Erlang came late and entered the house after lunch. When Smith saw Jiro's appearance, the only trace of unhappiness he had was gone. The two opened Smith's second book, Lessons in Light Magic.

Jiro didn't know that these two books took Smith half of his life to write. After reading it, Smith asked how, and Erlang said, "I remember it all." Smith was shocked and a little ecstatic. Smith really likes Erlang and feels that his mantle can finally be passed on. He also took some formulas and essentials for Erlang, and Erlang's answer was exactly the same, Smith was overjoyed, and told Erlang to practice diligently, communicate the magic elements as soon as possible, and achieve the rank of magician.

When Erlang heard this, he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say it to his face. I just thought in my heart: "Confused old man, I don't want to take over your mantle, I'm just the role of passing on the art on behalf of the teacher, what are you doing with hard work?"

Without further ado, the ship sailed on the sea for ten days, and it was smooth sailing, and on this day it finally landed on the mainland, which is the largest island of the Principality of Tianchen and the location of the national capital, Tianguo Island.

Heavenly Island has a tropical climate and hot weather. The whole island is in the shape of a semi-circle, only the northern part is unsealed. It is about 800 kilometers from east to west, more than 500 kilometers from north to south, and about 200 kilometers at its widest point. A sea area in the island is an inland sea, with beautiful scenery and undisturbed waves. The pride of the whole country, the Tianchen Demon Martial Arts Academy is located on a small island in the inland sea.

The Tianchen Demon Martial Arts Academy is composed of two academies, the Magic Branch has five elite classes and fifteen ordinary classes, occupying Heavenly Demon Island, and the Swordsman Branch has ten elite classes and twenty-five ordinary classes, occupying Heavenly Sword Island. The dean of the Tianchen Demon Martial Arts Academy is called Jonathan, a middle-level magician, an elder of the Academy Alliance, and the number one master of the Tianchen Principality.

The group came to the Heavenly Demon Island on a small boat and landed on the island. Smith was still unable to stand, and Nick arranged for two Light Servants to push the wheelchair and serve Smith. Smith told Erlang Mark to report to the academy with his letter of recommendation, and gave the two of them five hundred gold coins each, and he left with Nick.

Erlang and the two came to the gate of the college, the gate was solemn, the tall school gate, and sixteen guards on both sides stood with swords. Jiro took out the letter of recommendation, and the guards verified the authenticity and then let him go. The two of them entered the school gate, a huge square, and in the middle stood a statue about ten meters high, with a line of small characters: The first head of the Tianchen Demon Martial Academy, Vidal. Legend has it that Vidal was a low-level water magician who founded the academy thousands of years ago. Neither of them had seen the world, and after a long time of admiration, the two rushed to the registration office.

Following the guidance, the two came to the registration point and found that there was no one at the booth. Mark was a little dumbfounded, and looked straight in, and as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by someone.

"Wait, why are you bold! Dare to trespass on the freshman office on Heavenly Demon Island! Don't think about it, you can't feel comfortable!" As soon as the words fell, a person flashed out of the door, wearing a sky blue school uniform, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a proud face.

Mark said: "Classmate, big brother, we are here to sign up!"

"Stay! Who is your classmate? Who is your brother? What is it? Just like you, a bun, and you still want to enter Tianchen Academy? Yesterday, more than a thousand were brushed off, even more horizontal than you, and in the end you didn't leave the academy crying? Let me tell you, Tianchen Academy is not something you can go to if you want to! Look at me, you have to have half my level and talent, you can!" As he spoke, the person who came raised his face, not wanting to look at the appearance of the two.

Mark was anxious: "We were recommended by Master Smith! We met bad people on the way, and we were delayed for several days before we were late." We didn't mean to!"

"Smith, what kind of thing? Let me tell you, even the letter of recommendation from the Emperor of Tianchen will not work! This is Tianchen Academy, and in front of our dean, the king has to be polite and trembling!

Seeing such an arrogant person, Erlang felt a trace of disgust in his heart. He turned to Mark and said, "Go." ”

Mark still wanted to speak, but Erlang grabbed him: "Go." "Pull Mark and go.

Behind him came a sneering voice: "Two hillbillies!"

Erlang pulled Mark Wang out of the school gate, and when he walked to the door, Erlang nodded to the doorman and walked out.

I just didn't go far out, but coincidentally, at this moment, I ran on the road outside the school, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and I was close to the left in the blink of an eye. Erlang raised his eyebrows, what kind of horse is this? But I saw that the person who came was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome white face, a handsome spirit, and a handsome gesture. Stepping off the mount, it is a wind wolf, a wind contract beast.

The visitor went to the doorman, reined in his mount, and asked, "Do you have any messages for any of the freshmen who came to sign up today?"

"Yes, Childe. Just got out of the school gate! It's the two of them over there!"

Mark had the tip of his ear, and when he heard the interrogation of Smith or something, he pulled Erlang away and rushed over, shouting as he ran: "We are!"

The young man was overjoyed, jumped off his mount, took the wind wolf back into the contract space, and led the two to return to the name. As he walked, he said, "Two, my name is Gais, the sixth disciple of the dean, and I have been entrusted to handle your registration. The school registration has closed, and the three levels of review have been passed, and the dean knows that the student union will not dare to accept people anymore and break the school rules, so let me pass the word. The two of you were recommended by Master Smith, and you don't need to be reviewed at all, and you don't need to think about whether it has expired. ”

"Lilith, Kenther, come out!" said to the entrance of the registration office, and Geth shouted inside.

There were a few responses inside, and two people came out, the first one was a blonde beauty of sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and tall, with long hair reaching to the waist, and looking sweet. As soon as he came out, when he saw Gais, he immediately had stars in his eyes, ran to him, and shouted: "Hello Gais, senior!"

The beautiful woman followed a person, and before the person arrived, laughter came out: "Isn't this Senior Gais? You came to our registration office, but you are really brilliant! You are invited to come in! We admire and admire you, especially Lilith." "It was the previous one, originally called Kense.

As soon as Gess waved his hand, Kese's mouth immediately stopped, and he looked at Gess with blank eyes.

"These two people have letters of recommendation, and the dean instructed them to enroll directly, assign classes, and be exempt from assessment. ”

"Okay, Senior Gas!" Lilith Keseer replied in unison.

"Come, introduce! This is Jiro, learning magic. This is Mark, the swordsman class. ”

"Okay! Okay!" agreed in a panic, only then did the two of them realize that Gess was still followed by two people, and when they saw the two of them, Kenseh covered his mouth and almost screamed, thinking to himself, it's bad, these two people are so hard backstage, they actually have the permission of the dean. If they hold a grudge, it's not easy to see people.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Kense's face: "It turned out to be your two brothers, I have long seen that the two brothers are extraordinary, and we made a little joke just now." You won't mind, will you, right? I now welcome you to join us on behalf of our Tianchen Demon Martial Academy. From now on, we will be classmates, brothers, and a family. What use do the two brothers have to my Kenser, even if they say a word, the knife comes and goes, I don't hesitate to do it!" said and put his arm around Mark's shoulder, and was very affectionate.

Gaisce also introduced: "This is Lilith, a mid-level apprentice magician in the fire department of the third class of the second grade, and a figure on the top 100 list. This is Kense. ”

Mark was a little dizzy, grinning and just grinning: "Hello two seniors!"

Kenseh replied, "Yes, yes." Stretched out his other hand to hug Erlang, Erlang gently pushed his hand away and said lightly: "How dare Tubaozi climb high." ”

Kense's smile did not decrease: "Hehe, I have a grudge! I have a grudge! Brother, this is what I do, I like to joke, don't be like me! I'll go through the formalities! Let's have a meal together, I'll please!"

Kenser looked at Erlang's little face without any expression, helpless, looked at Mark, Mark smirked a few times: "Okay!"

When Kenseh heard this, he was very happy: "Brother, open and bright!

Kenseh turned around: "Lilith, are you together at noon?"

Lilith glanced at Gais, "This, okay!"

Kenser was very proud, and then turned his face to Gais, without speaking, first piled up a flattering face: "Senior Gais, can you appreciate your face at noon?"

Gaith ignored him and said to Erlang: "Follow Lilith to get familiar with the school, do a good job, I am also optimistic about you, come on!"

Erlang said lightly: "Thank you." ”

"I still have some business," said Gas, "and I will not be able to accompany you at noon." Next time we have the opportunity to get together, I will definitely treat you well!"

Kenseer answered: "Senior Gais, don't worry, I will take good care of both of them for you!"

Gaith looked at Kenseer coldly: "Lilith!"

"Hey!" Lilith replied in a panic as her cheeks flushed.

"In the afternoon, you can take them on a good tour of the school! Anything else can be pushed first, you know?"

"Yes, yes!" Lilith nodded vigorously.

Geth summoned the wind wolf and turned over the wolf, and the wolf howled in the sky. Geth patted the wolf on the head and signaled for silence. looked up at Erlang again, showed a bright smile, and clenched his fists: "Goodbye, go back and get together, take care!"

Erlang smiled knowingly and thanked him. Then, Gess bowed his hand to Mark and walked away.
