my age of magic

Chapter 588 87. Rejection
The sunlight outside the glass windows is dazzling, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians in the noisy market.A boy with a magic sword hanging from his waist was running down the street, dodging a carriage and passing by a group of girls in pure white robes, causing the young female magicians to exclaim .An old man holding a magic newspaper was sitting on a bench by the street, basking in the sun leisurely.

This bustling street of the Royal Academy of Magic continued the prosperity of a certain corner of the imperial capital.

I often lose my mind when chatting with Yingli, as long as I think of this girl who is as gentle and demure as the girl next door, and another extremely powerful identity is a princess of the Green Empire, I will feel unreal The feeling is like being lost in one's own dream, wanting to clear the dark fog in front of you, open your eyes to make yourself clearer, but it turns out that this is not a dream.

A cup of hot tea with the fresh taste of lemon.

In three years, Yingli has gradually transformed from a cute and innocent girl next door to a dignified and quiet lady. I think she should have received the orthodox aristocratic etiquette education arranged by the family, and she will naturally move her body when eating. Sit upright, the hands holding the knife and fork are placed on both sides of the plate in a very standard way, a beautiful pear dimple is revealed on the face with a smile, and the neat and white teeth gently bite the fresh and tender lizard tail meat, see me Looking at her blankly, his face was instantly stained with a layer of blush, he slightly pursed his red lips, gave me an angry look, and then lowered his head slightly.

"How about I find some friends and warn him?" Noah blinked, and then said confidently: "Although this is not the province of Palestina, there are a few brothers in the family who are here in the imperial capital. I You can ask them for help."

Becky put down the knife in her hand, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth casually, raised her eyes and glanced at Noah, before saying, "Quentin is the most popular among the younger generation of the Busman family. The Duke’s favorite grandson, the most powerful Constructed Knights of the Busman family, is now capturing the new Mong Kok in the Warsaw plane for Emperor Charles, as long as Quentin doesn’t kill himself, no one in the empire would dare to provoke him.”

"Ah! That Busman family that has more than a dozen subsidiary planes and always ranks among the top three in the wealth list?" Noah shrank his neck in fright, looked at me with the eyes of a monster, and then asked Said: "Jijia, the background behind these people you provoked is really strong enough, this Quentin is now holding the gold medal for avoiding death of Emperor Charles in his hand, it seems that he really can't find him at this time Trouble."

Ying Li glanced at me apologetically, hesitated before saying, "The itinerary for field training has been finalized."

Ying Li was in a hurry to come to the Magic Academy to meet me. It turned out that the field training organized by their academy had already been put on the agenda.

This period of time is neither long nor short. It should be regarded as a small test for the two of us. Since I came to the imperial capital, the number of times I have actually met Yingli can be counted on the fingers. All that can be done is Yinyue, who leans on the window sill and looks at the night sky, misses each other.

Although we are in the same city, there are not many opportunities for us to meet each other. We can only take time to have lunch together once a week, or squeeze out an hour or two in the afternoon to sit in the library and be quiet. When we were together, we didn’t talk too much with each other. We talked about each other’s life, each other’s study and future plans, and managed it carefully. Then I began to find that it’s hard to separate the two things of deep yearning and youthful ignorance. Layers of film-like icing, there is really nothing left between us.

I couldn't tell what kind of loss was in my heart, I just felt a little upset, so I asked her, "When are you leaving?"

"Next week's Monday, it will probably take more than a month, and if everything goes well, it will even take two months!" Ying Li bit his rosy lips lightly, and looked at me with apologetic eyes.

I put my hand on the back of her soft hand. Her hand was fragrant and warm, and I comforted her and said, "Two months is actually not a long time. It will pass soon. By then, you will have been promoted to a magician." Yes, I'll wait for you here."

I pointed to the Royal Academy of Magic next to the restaurant, and found that Yingli's eye circles were a little red, her beauty was tightly twisted together, and with a trace of grievance, she said to me: "Then... if I fail to enter the Royal Academy of Magic What about the School of Magic?"

"Then go to the Sloit Ivory Tower Academy of Magic, or Haines Academy of Magic, and wait for me there. I will find you as soon as I finish my work in the imperial capital." I said to Yingli.

I wanted to continue to comfort Yingli, but I didn't know what to say for a while.

Noah said to me: "The club will also have club activities in a few days. I heard that it is going to Yelo. I'm afraid we will stay there for a while."

"Will that be dangerous?" Ying Li asked Noah worriedly, she knew that Noah and I were in the same club.

Noah said nonchalantly: "There is a teacher leading the team, and our main purpose is to go to the occupied area over there to investigate the distribution of magic herbs and vegetation there. We won't go deep into the front line, so it should be safe, but I am very I look forward to meeting a spider man, I heard that they are powerful and have eight legs in their abdomen, I really want to let me see the race of the dark forces quickly."

"You want to see those female spidermen!" Becky sarcastically said.

Noah's old face blushed, and he argued in a low voice: "Those are the descendants of the dark elf queen Shilin and the spider king Anub'arak, they are a natural fighting race, born for fighting, I'm just curious Where does brute force come from?"

When leaving the restaurant, Noah rushed ahead and went to the bar to pay the bill.And I walked out side by side with Yingli. At this time, there were still many people in the restaurant. When I turned around, I felt a sharp knife-like gaze on me. Lorenzo in the corner was staring at me. He noticed that when I looked over, he seemed a little flustered, but there was a strong sense of hostility in his eyes. hateful look.

I didn't have time to pay attention to him, I took Ying Li's hand and walked out of the restaurant, joining the bustling crowd.

Walking along the long street aimlessly and silently, Yingli took the initiative to hold my arm. If Helena was the person who was with Yingli at this time, she would definitely take the opportunity to hold my other arm. Arm, but Becky will not be like Helena, she is only willing to stand on the other side of Yingli, like a proud black swan, two long legs wrapped in chain mail hakama, stepping on alternately There was a very rhythmic 'tapping' sound on the slate.

Going forward, there is a flower shop that is very popular with the students nearby. You can buy almost all kinds of flowers there. It is said that the owner of this flower shop originally ran a magic herb shop. Unfortunately, although it is close to the Royal Magic College, but the demand for all kinds of magic herbs is not too much. At one time, this magic herb shop was facing the dilemma of closing down, until one day, the owner, who is a magic herbalist, casually planted them in several flower pots. Several roses, when these roses bloomed, people kept asking: Is this flower for sale?As a result, a flower shop that is most popular with students was born quietly.

When I passed by the door of this flower shop a few times before, I found that the reason why this flower shop is so popular is that it is still inseparable from magic.

The reason is that the owner of this store is a magician who is good at wood-type growth magic skills. Almost all the flowers here are ready to bloom before they are sold. Release all kinds of magic, or bloom on the spot, or refine the entire blooming time to a specific moment, and then there will be a strange scene full of flowers.

I originally wanted to give Ying Li a pot of flowers, but I found that the location of the flower shop was full of people.Most of these onlookers are students from nearby colleges, and they almost crowded the street. Yingli and I stopped under a tree a little far away, and saw that it was the flower shop surrounded by the crowd of students. , the entire street in front of the flower shop is filled with all kinds of flowers, like a sea of ​​flowers.

Ying Li and I looked curiously at the flower shop. At this moment, we suddenly saw the crowd of onlookers disperse like a tide, as if it had been rehearsed in advance. The next delicate figure was wearing a pale yellow Mithril robe, holding a magic short stick in her hand, and her slender and tall body had almost perfect curves.

A gust of wind blew away her long blond hair, which was as smooth as a waterfall, and she raised her hand to tuck the messy long hair behind her ears, revealing a fair and flawless pretty face, with eyes as clear as Weiyang Lake, She shot a gaze as deep as the starry sky in a quiet night, and a faint smile froze on her face, and the pair of crystal clear and flawless elf pointed ears were attached to the sides of Zhen's head.

This back figure is very familiar to me, and I looked at the scene in front of me in surprise.The elf girl who was isolated in the center of the sea of ​​flowers was Lucia, the president of the Sword and Rose Club. Yesterday afternoon, when she was participating in club activities at the Martial Art Museum, she was seen. Naturally, you can't read it wrong at this moment.

Yingli and Becky on the side also opened their mouths, showing curiosity.

And not far from her, a slender and handsome senior was holding a bouquet of flowers, also standing in the sea of ​​flowers and walking towards her step by step, with a confident smile on his dignified face, the Royal Academy of Magic The badge of the magician and the silver badge of the magician reflected the dazzling light in the sun, and he was accompanied by a delicate magic rune sword at his waist. This is an interesting thing that I only discovered when I arrived in the imperial capital. In addition to books and magic short sticks, there are many people who like to wear magic swords, and think it looks cooler to have a magic saber hanging around their waists.

"This scene really seems to be the same thing." Becky said teasingly with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ying Li glanced at Becky reproachfully, but said nothing.

When the handsome senior handed the flowers to Lucia, the surrounding students cheered enthusiastically, but until the cheers ended, Lucia did not take the bouquet of flowers, I just stood there quietly, looking at the handsome senior quietly with a pair of bright starry eyes. Lucia should have had a few short conversations with the senior. We were a little far away and didn't hear what they said in detail. something happened.

It's just that, from a distance, I saw that the original confidence in the eyes of that handsome senior magician gradually dimmed, and his face became pale within a few words.

As for Lucia, she inserted her hands into the pockets of Missori's robe naturally, her face was extremely calm from the beginning to the end, she turned around calmly, and stepped on the sea of ​​flowers on the ground, under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers. , left without the slightest hesitation, leaving only a slender figure behind us.

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, but it seemed like a good show was over, and they left immediately. The bustling crowd began to evacuate slowly, and the traffic that was originally blocked slowly began to flow. I think at this time, go to that flower shop again It seems that it has become inappropriate to buy a bouquet of flowers as a gift.

After all, the grand flower delivery ceremony just now failed, leaving only a mess all over the floor.

If I don’t do it well, I will be misunderstood by the relatives and friends of the senior. Maybe they will think it is a kind of behavioral ridicule, and then vent the evil fire in my heart for no reason on me, especially on my chest. Still holding a badge of the Sword and Rose Society, I felt that there was no need to risk my life, so Ying Li and Ying Li passed by the flower shop quietly.

When the few of us walked a little farther, we began to discuss what had just happened.

"Guess, what did the two of them say just now?" Becky folded her hands on her chest and asked gossipingly beside Ying Li.

Ying Li turned his head and thought for a while before saying: "It's probably just some ordinary words of rejection. If you think it's not suitable, it's the best way to refuse directly. I think Lucia refuses decisively, maybe it's not a good thing."

Becky seemed to have thought of something funny, covered her mouth with her hands, and asked softly with a smile: "How long do you think it will take for that senior to come out of this shadow?"

I tapped my head with the index finger of my left hand, and after thinking about it, I said, "At least I can last until after graduation!"

"Jijia, you are too infatuated with these high-level magic students in the Imperial Academy of Magic!" Becky glanced at me from the corner of her eyes, and said very disdainfully.

Yingli sighed, then turned to me and asked, "Jijia, guess what they said just now?"

……

I shrugged my shoulders speechlessly, and looked at Ying Li helplessly. Of course I know what they just said, because I heard their conversation just now...

After a slight pause, I imitated Lucia's tone and said, "Do you know how many years an elf can live?"

Then I put on the tone of the senior and said again: "I haven't read the general history of elves, so I don't know, probably hundreds of years old!"

Lucia: "I'll tell you the answer, it's eight hundred years old."

Senior: "Ah..."

"Young elves will hold a coming-of-age ceremony when they are two hundred years old. Are you willing to wait for me to hold the coming-of-age ceremony before marrying me?"

"..."

The senior was speechless.

It's a pity that I don't have a bouquet of flowers in my hand, and I can't imitate the pitiful look of the bouquet of roses in my senior's hand after falling into the sea of ​​flowers on the ground.

……

Although we were standing a little far away at that time, I had sharp eyes and ears, and I was able to hear some conversations between Lucia and the senior intermittently.

Yingli and Becky looked at me with strange eyes. I scratched my head in embarrassment. I blamed me for being too involved in acting just now, so that I didn't notice the expressions of Yingli and Becky. I grinned, but that The smile was a bit forced, and he rubbed his earlobe vigorously with one hand, which made him look a little funny.It was only then that I remembered that people in the Green Empire do not like others to know their privacy, and it is impolite to secretly inquire about other people's privacy.

Originally, I wanted to bring up a lighter topic, but obviously I didn't succeed, so I stood there stupidly.

At this time, Ying Li raised his hand to cover his mouth and sneered softly.

On the other hand, Becky smiled even more unscrupulously and bent over. Then she pinched her waist with one hand and supported Yingli's shoulder with the other. She raised her head and held back her smile, and said to me: "This matter must not be spread to Lu. into Thea's ears, or you'll be in big trouble!"
