my age of magic

Chapter 527 25. The news there

The melodious bells echoed from the roof of the campus of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy, and the quiet campus suddenly became noisy.

Young faces are running from the building, the boys are at the forefront, they are wearing large magic robes, like black rain butterflies, passing through the arched corridors, their flexible bodies are engraved on the relief-carved marble columns Shuttle back and forth between, the flying hair and sweat accompanied by laughter and frolicking, filled the campus with a joyous atmosphere.

The girls walked in groups of three or four, shoulder to shoulder, down the stairs, and strolled in the green grass garden. Their sweet smiles made them look more confident.The status of magicians destined them to have a very good future.

Many male magicians like to learn powerful magic skills, because they are active by nature, like to fight, and like to take risks.Most male mages will follow some adventure groups to take risks on a certain continent or plane when they are young, or join the military camp, become a battle mage accompanying the army, serve the Grimm Empire, and strive for a higher title.

Unlike those male magicians, the vast majority of female magicians yearn for a more comfortable life. Most of them will work in places such as magic academy, magic guild, and magic research institute, and become assistants to some great magicians.There are also many female magicians who choose to study magic pharmacy, enchantment, inscriptions, jewelry, etc., and then become professional magic craftsmen in a certain chamber of commerce.

A small magic apprentice wearing a soft magic apprentice robe appeared at the gate of the academy. He looked at both sides of the street in a panic at the door, holding a black magic book with simple patterns in his hand. After a little hesitation, he ran north along the bush wall beside the road.

There was a row of magic caravans parked on the street in the distance. The coachman had already driven the caravan to the gate of the Magic Academy, and stepped down courteously, opened the door, and waited for his little master to come out of the academy.

……

The classroom of the fourth grade of the School of Magic is at the top of the teaching building. The last class this afternoon is 'Astrology'. When the bell rang for the end of class, the boys in the class had already dispersed. The astrology magic instructor Konstan Si saw the swarming scene in the classroom, and seemed helpless. Among this group of students, children from noble families accounted for more than 80.00% of the total number, and there were even a few children from the Duke's mansion in the class.

Being able to let these children wait patiently until the last minute in the last class is already extremely rare for the children of these aristocratic families.

The magic teacher Constance chose to swallow the last few words. He slowly closed the magic book on the desk, sorted out the lesson plans on the desk, walked out of the classroom, fell behind these magic apprentices, walked Go down the stairs and walk out of the teaching building along the corridor. After the last class, he doesn't need to return to his office, he can go home directly.

Constance, who had just stepped out of the college gate, shook her head secretly when she saw the gorgeous carriages at the college gate.

"Mr. Constance, I want to ask you a question." Constance heard a quiet and sweet voice behind her.

He turned around and took a look, and found that it was a group of female students in the classroom, who were standing behind them holding the magic book at the moment.

The girl who spoke was standing among the group of girls. There was a beautiful dimple on her white face when she smiled. Although her facial features looked exquisite, she could only be called pretty. She stood quietly. In the same place, she looks slim and graceful, like a lotus flower on Weiyang Lake. That kind of graceful temperament is the best among all the girls. Her long black hair hangs down like a waterfall, tied around her head with a ribbon at will. back.

He paused slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Ying Li, what's your problem?"

The large black magic robe could not hide Ying Li's youthful body. She hugged a thick magic book to her chest, with a faint smile on her face, she looked at Constantine seriously. s.Her girlfriends all stood aside quietly, without saying anything to stop her, and no one echoed her.

The girls in the imperial capital have a kind of paranoid arrogance. They think that the time outside of class is completely their own, and they can be at their disposal.So at this time, no one wants to think about those troublesome 'astrology'. This subject is not a compulsory subject at the end of the semester, so there is no need to take it too seriously.

……

I stood under the tree on the opposite side of the street, sitting on the guardrail and eating golden wheat cakes with the tauren. Luka the tauren ignored the strange eyes of those passing by. Naturally swinging at will, with a leisurely demeanor, it seems that as long as there is wheat cake to eat, for Luka, he will have a lot of happiness.

Scholar Yerkes did not invite me to eat at noon. At this time in the evening, my stomach was already rumbling with hunger. I was worried that if I went to a restaurant far away to eat, I would miss Yingli's school. I didn't have the courage to stay at her house Waiting for her at the gate, besides, the road to the imperial capital is so unfamiliar to me, so I naturally have to guard the gate of the college, reluctant to leave.

In the imperial capital, it is rare to see people eating on the street. The nobles generally do not do this. It is very disrespectful to the regulations stipulated in the etiquette of the nobles. They would rather hide in the carriage Eating, or simply starving, the aristocratic pride and sense of superiority are infinitely magnified here.

People on the street will be amazed that a teenager in a wizard's robe will squat so indecently on the street, and will stay with a cow and eat wheat cakes, looking like a countryman.

The disdainful eyes of the pedestrians made me feel the disdain in their eyes, but so what?
When the junior magic apprentices at the gate of the campus left one after another, some magic caravans also left the gate of the campus one after another. Some senior magic apprentices ushered in at the gate of the campus. It seemed that their magical aura was stronger. , There are even people like me who no longer wear the gray and white striped consecration magic suit, but wear a magician's robe with a magician's medal on his chest.

Obviously, those senior students who have become magicians raised their chins high when they walked, as if looking at people with their nostrils.

It is said that the people of the imperial capital are extremely arrogant, and now I have a deep understanding.

Then I saw Ying Li among a large group of female magician apprentices pouring out from the gate of the academy.

In three years, her height has suddenly increased. From a distance, she can be regarded as one of the tallest among those girls. Perhaps it is because she has been insisting on morning jogging and exercising. It looks slimmer than before.

She was wearing a white suit of knowledge and magic, holding a black and gold-inlaid magic book in her hand, and the breeze was blowing on her face, messing up her satin-like hair.

Standing among a group of classmates, she listened with a smile to the students discussing the knowledge points of classroom magic, standing quietly in the crowd, although talking and laughing with the classmates, the dimples on her face revealed a kind of quietness like a girl next door delicate and pretty.

Although she stood in the crowd, she always looked so lonely. The moment she walked out of the magic academy, there was a cry of an eagle in the air. She paused and looked up at the sky above the royal city on Fukong Mountain in the distance. The free-roaming Lion Eagle had a longing look on her face, her heart was not here at the moment.

I quickly put the golden wheatbread in my hand into my arms, then patted the scone crumbs on my hands, and was about to stand up and walk over to give her a surprise.

At the next second, I saw her suddenly take a few steps forward, and said a few words kindly to a very mature looking magic book. When I got close to them, I heard Ying Li say: "A friend of mine told me that by referring to the star map at night, you can determine your own position. On a night with stars, you will never get lost. Is this statement correct?"

The mature-looking magician turned around, glanced at Ying Li behind him, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied seriously: "That has already involved the star chart in 'Astrology', your friend It must be a student of the Royal Academy of Magic. Our junior magic academy does not offer this subject. Observing the subtle changes in the starry sky, it is difficult to distinguish them simply by relying on the weak spiritual power of magic apprentices. But this statement, in theory, is established."

I thought to myself: That sentence is what I said when I was chatting with Ying Li when I was watching the stars at night. Although it is suspected of bragging, it is absolutely true.

Then I heard the magician say: "You can divide what he said into two parts. The first part is easy to understand, that is, you will not get lost on a starry night, as long as you look for it under the stars. When you reach the big stars in Perseus, look for a direction, and you will never get lost."

I stood in the crowd, quietly listening to the magician's answer.

This sentence may be applicable in the Green Empire, but it is not so brilliant on the Pai Plateau. There is no reference point in the endless wasteland. Two people start from the same starting point. In the first half of the month, the two people could be separated by several kilometers. It is difficult to meet together in the wasteland with such a distance.Therefore, in the eyes of orc hunters, star map recognition is the most basic skill.

Then the magician said: "The second part of this sentence is to determine your own position. This is difficult, because you need to be able to perceive the slightest changes in the star map, and the starry sky throughout the night is not static. At the same time at night, the star charts at the same position are completely different, although this is not difficult for those astrologers, but you must know that it is very difficult for beginners like you!"

What the magician said seemed to have a bit of nonsense, but Ying Li's adoring eyes, what is this?

I couldn't help but walked up and said loudly: "For the star map in the night sky, we don't need to memorize the trajectory of every big star, we only need to remember the trajectories of fifty big stars to be able to see them in our sea of ​​consciousness. To form the initial star map, of course, we need to keep in mind the distance between several big stars close to the horizon and the horizon. Usually we stretch our arms and use our fingers instead of gauges to measure this distance, and then we can lock it. Our place under the stars."

The magician's eyes obviously lit up when he heard my words, and he turned his head to look at me in surprise.

But I just stared at Yingli and continued, "As long as we know how to determine our fixed position under the night sky, we will not get lost at night..."

Ying Li's eyes looked over, our eyes met in the air, I looked at her, but she couldn't believe her eyes at first, her slightly parted pink lips slowly opened, revealing a section of white teeth, and then The smile on his face slowly turned into surprise, like melting ice and snow on a snow peak...

Originally standing in the crowd, Ying Li, who was delicate and gentle, was full of the aura of a noble princess, but when she heard my voice and saw me talking in the crowd, she rushed towards me recklessly , the black linen pendant as big as a walnut on the snow-white neck swayed in front of my chest, a layer of water vapor rippling in the beautiful starry eyes, in the astonished eyes of the surrounding students, it suddenly jumped into my arms .

The tie on the ponytail at the back of my head fell off all of a sudden, and my black satin-like smooth hair spread over my shoulders, hugging me tightly.

There was a lot of booing around, I supported Ying Li's soft shoulders, and pulled her away from my arms. I didn't want to be surrounded by such a big crowd.

"Ying Li, it seems that you will not choose to go back to the dormitory with us today, then let's go first!" Ying Li's friends sounded in a mess behind me, and then they turned around laughing and ran away .

A sweet-looking girl in a black legal apprentice robe squeezed out from the crowd, and asked Ying Li next to me: "Ying Li, Quentin is going to hold a dance at home next week, do you want to go?"

Ying Li kept staring at me intently, the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little wet, he ignored the girl's question, and just shook his head slightly.

"Ying Li, you don't like to chat with those merchants who came to the imperial capital from the northern border to do business, and talk about those anecdotes in the northern border. This time, Quentin found a caravan from the northern border who just arrived in the imperial capital. There are a lot of anecdotes to tell you, don't you really want to go and see them?" The girl was still unwilling to give up, standing aside and persuading Ying Li.

Ying Li turned her head to look at her impatiently, then turned to me with a smile and said, "I'll take you to a quieter place!"

I complained to Ying Li: "If you can, you can choose a restaurant. I've been waiting for you outside the college for a long time, and I'm so hungry!"

Ying Li said without hesitation: "Okay, I know that there is a restaurant that cooks authentic grilled antelope meat. The owner of the restaurant was a businessman who often went to the Pai Plateau to collect devil antelope skins, and he can roast authentic plateau meat." Flavored barbecue. Let's try it!"

I nodded in agreement and said, "Okay! But don't forget that my followers are only vegetarians."

Yingli held my arm, her bulging chest pressed tightly against my arm, and walked towards the street with me. After walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something, and turned her head to look forward to the hope. A girl with good news said: "I don't want to go, go if you want to go, don't always think about pulling me, I don't want to hear any news about the North now."

Afterwards, Yingli turned to look at me and said, "I don't need it anymore!"
