Some people who are used to living in El City may not know what is so special about El City.

They get up every day to listen to the bell of the bell tower, and at sunset they remember that it is time for dinner again, and the whole city is filled with snow as thick as cotton wool, and those thick snow can be seen everywhere on the stone path under their feet, in the garden, on the roof, and the old snow has not completely melted, and the new snow will fall again.

Day after day, year after year, the city of El changes with the seasons, always showing its beauty in its own style, but when I want to tell my friends what is good about El City, I can't say.

In the morning, Noah and Shirley were going to walk around El City and ask me what was fun in El City, but unfortunately I couldn't give any good advice, so I asked Tracy for advice, and Tracy couldn't tell me what was fun in El City.

Nancy gave us some advice, if you want to see the bustling city of El City, you might as well take a stroll through the central street of El City, which is the central axis of El City, the most prosperous and lively place in El City, and there are many shops in it.

If you are looking for a quiet and scenic place, you can take a look at Stans Academy, the architecture of the fighting arena in the academy is very distinctive, and now that the school is on vacation, the academy is particularly clean.

The War College in Central Hill is also worth a visit, as it is a very good place for the nobility to live, and the city square has a panoramic view of the entire city of El.

......

In the morning, Noah and I weren't traveling.

I went to visit the teachers and friends at the Magic Academy, and Noah didn't go with me, so he invited Cindy to be their guide and take Shirley Newman on a tour of El City.

Miss Cindy is no longer the original firewood girl, Cindy gradually has the outline of Nanxi, her thin cheeks are slowly becoming plump, her long blonde hair is braided with long braids, she likes to squint when she laughs, like a sunflower in autumn, Cindy is not a girl with a beautiful face, and even a little pink freckles on her cheekbones, but it does not make people feel ugly at all.

Tracy complained to me that since Ryan had this new daughter, he had given her half of the love again, which made Tracy a little crazy, but because Cindy always quietly washed Tracy's underwear and leather boots, Tracy couldn't say a word to Cindy.

I made an appointment with Noah to have the most unique meal in El City in the evening.

I remember when I was in the imperial capital, Noah invited me to eat a tribal orc-style barbecue, but I felt that there was nothing to praise in that high-end restaurant except for the elegant environment and realistic murals, although the barbecue was delicious, but it was not the taste of the Pai Plateau. Bobby is naturally very familiar with the food in the city of El, because Bobby is a foodie by nature, and Mr. Flender once said: If you can devote one-third of his dedication to food to learning magic, then he will definitely be an excellent magician.

If Marven hadn't lost an arm in the Valley of the Willows, maybe he would have been a good magician as well.

However, his current life is not bad, he is the youngest promising magic merchant in El City, his magic grocery store has opened branches in other cities in the Northern Province, he has just graduated from the War Magic Academy, he has a property of his own, and because Marven is missing an arm, he does not need to serve in the military, for some magician nobles like Marven, in El City, there are still many nobles who are willing to marry their daughters to him.

Spee studied at Stans College and is a female swordsman, her family background is very ordinary, but because she became attached to Marven in Xinliu Valley, she has been by Marven's side since then, and occasionally sees the two of them getting tired of whispering together, and you will feel that their lives are actually quite sweet.

......

I sat side by side with Ying Li, Ying Li quietly held my hand, our hand was hidden by the wide white lace cuffs, Ying Li's eyes wandered outside the glass window, as if admiring the snow outside the window, Caterina sat on the other side of me, but she wanted to talk to Becky, so she switched places with Helena.

As soon as Helena sat down, she took the initiative to hold her arm, perhaps because she was used to being the center of attention, so she was not afraid of the eyes of others.

The magic caravan is parked next to the ski slopes on the northern slope of the central mountain, and you can see young men and women rushing down from the slopes in the distance.

Every year, the first snow falls in winter on the northern slopes of Chuoyama, a temporary ski area that serves as a practice ground for beginners.

The snow on the North Slope generally doesn't melt until spring, and the gentle slopes of the North Slope are the best place for beginners to practice skiing, and there is an unwritten rule in the North Slope Ski Resort that once you've skied a little more proficiently, you have to give up the site to other beginners.

Ever since I brought my skis to El City, skiing has become a must-learn escape skill for every resident of El City.

In the snow in the wild, if you encounter a barbarian, the success rate of skiing escape is the highest, the premise is, of course, you need to be on the top of the mountain, as long as you swoop down the slope on the ski, there is no companion in front to intercept, the barbarian is generally difficult to catch up.

Noah and Shirley told me that they would buy two pairs of skis at the Oriana Magic Shop on Central Street, and then go to the ski slopes on the north slope of Central Mountain to practice skiing.

Today, Oriana Magic has become an industrial system of its own, with high-level magic academies that train magical talents, magic research institutes that study magical golem items, magic workshops that make magic items, and finally magic shops scattered all over the Grimm Empire.

Orionna Magic not only monopolized magical devices such as humanoid magic golems and prosthetic limbs, but also extended its tentacles to other realms.

In El City, the Oriana Magic Shop has the most famous and best skis, but if you want to buy a pair of skis from the Oriana Magic Shop, the ordinary people can't afford to pay for such an expensive cost.

However, Noah is no ordinary person.

Don't look at Bobby and Marven, the former is a big fat man with a round belly, the latter is a disabled person who has lost an arm, the skiing skills of the two are still quite good, a few of us walked down from the magic caravan, Bobby smiled and said: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I have almost forgotten my previous skiing skills." ”

Marven sneered and said to Bobby, "How did I hear that there was a son of a great slave owner in the city of El, who fell in love with a pure-looking priest apprentice in the temple, and often went to the temple in Mount Etia to ask people to ski?"

was exposed by Marven's words, Bobby was not annoyed, just shyly and said to Marven: "The wedding of Senior Benjamin and Priest Mia, I found that marrying a priestess as a wife is definitely a particularly cool thing." ”

I asked, somewhat surprised, "Is Benjamin married?"

"Ah," said Bobby, "he is now the son of the consul of the city of Eyre, and now he has a very unusual position in the city of Eyre, and the wedding takes place in the winter. ”

Tracy's letter mentioned this matter, it turns out that Benjamin is already married.

......

Our group walked into the ski resort on the north slope of the central mountain, and saw a group of young men and women sitting on the edge of the ski slope to change their shoes, and saw their tight thermal leather jackets covered with snow and ice.

These young people are much younger than us, and when someone saw Marvin and Bobby, they immediately stood up respectfully and said hello, "Hello senior." ”

Bobby told me that these young men were all freshmen at this year's Junior War College, using the winter break to practice skiing.

At the beginning of the year, I left the city of El, naturally not knowing this group of new students from the War College.

At this time, I happened to see Ann Zimmerman in the crowd, he was wearing a dark magic apprentice's robe, he had grown taller and thinner, his eyebrows had become more mature, and his smart eyes had a little more composure, looking at me in surprise.

Beside Ann stood two beautiful aristocratic girls, talking to Ann with admiration, as if they didn't want to pay attention to others.

I smiled gently at An and waved to him from the crowd standing here.

Ann saw me waving to him, her eyes lit up, her brows furrowed, she glanced at the noble girl next to her, hesitated, but still stretched out her hand and pulled the two people out of the crowd, ran to me, and said to me happily: "Brother Jijia, when did you come back?"

"Yesterday evening, a magical airship arrived in El City. I looked at Ann with a beautiful face and said with a smile. "According to the custom of the War Magic Academy, you are going to call me senior. ”

"Senior Jijia. The gloom in Ann's eyes had diminished, and it seemed that life in El City was slowly healing him, dispelling the shadow in his heart that had been left in the cellar of Zimmermann Manor.

The two aristocratic girls beside him also greeted me obediently, they seemed to be two aristocratic girls with good upbringings, and when Ann said my name, their eyes flashed with surprise, as if they had heard my name somewhere.

Thinking about the relationship with Alia, when facing Ann, I was inevitably a little embarrassed in my heart, but I still stabilized my emotions, and then said to Ann: "I wanted to go to your place tomorrow, Mrs. Arya asked me to bring you many gifts, but I didn't expect you to be at the ski resort." ”

I introduced these friends to Ann.

In the distance, Ann's companions were calling out to him.

So, I waved my hand to him and said, "Wait for me at home tomorrow morning, and I'll go to you to see how you're learning magic this semester." ”

Ann said happily, "Okay." ”

Then he said goodbye to me and returned with the two aristocratic girls to the young men and women, who left the North Slope ski slopes with a laugh and a smile.

......

When I saw Noah, Shirley Newman, and Cindy, I thought I had seen a snow monster on the top of the snowy mountain, and I had never seen a snowy monster learning to ski and make such a mess of myself, especially since Cindy was also panting and exhausted, it was hard to imagine what they were doing on the ski slopes.

I remember that Cindy's skiing skills were taught by Tracy, and Tracy used his savings to buy a very good pair of skis for Cindy, and Cindy was moved to tears, and it only took a week to practice her skiing skills well.

At this time, I saw three people standing on the snow on the north slope with their clothes covered with ice and snow.

I asked Cindy curiously, "Why are you making a mess of it?" and the North Slope ski area is the best driving range for beginners......

Cindy's face flushed slightly, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

At this time, Shirley Newman said angrily: "It's not because Noah, who has just learned a little bit of skin, thinks that he has mastered all the essentials of skiing, and he has to rush down from the top of the slope, and he can't stop his speed halfway, if Cindy doesn't catch up from behind and grab him, he is afraid that he will be like a fork, inserted into the snowdrift in front!"

"Hey, in front of Jiga's friends, please keep my image a little bit. Noah protested to Shirley, "Didn't you agree with the proposal to rush down from the top of the slope?"

"Who wants your skills to be so bad that I wrestle with you, it's a shame!" Shirley complained to Noah with dissatisfaction.

Shirley Newman's personal maid came running from a distance, holding a brush in her hand, walked up to Noah and the others, and hurriedly cleaned the ice slag on the three of them, which must be removed in time, if it hangs on the body for too long, it will make the leather clothes hard.

I didn't expect Noah and Shirley Newman's athletic talent to be so bad, when the Minotaur Ruka and Karantso were both learned and used in the wild, and in just half a day, they could come and go freely in the snow on skis, I rubbed my hands and said to Noah: "That's the end of today's practice, but it seems that your skiing skills still need to be improved, tomorrow I am afraid that you will not be able to join my hunting barbarian team, when you are skilled in skiing, I will help you find the best falcon team in El City." ”

Noah showed a bitter melon face and said to me, "Jijia, what do you mean by this, are you not going to bring us with you in tomorrow's hunting operation?"

I slapped the ice slag off his shoulder, put my arm around his shoulder, and said, "If you really want to go with us to the wilderness, then ride the magic handle, or you won't be able to keep up with us." ”

Noah hesitated, glanced at Shirley, then at Ying Li, and asked me, "Then Ying Li also wants to stay in El City?"

I said to Noah, "Of course they have to stay, they also have to practice some skiing skills, don't worry, tomorrow I will just take someone to the suburbs to find out the situation of those barbarians, although we can get information from the tavern in the city, but we still need to go out and see for ourselves." ”

"Okay. Noah said reluctantly, and then he excitedly said to me, "Jijia, let me tell you, skiing is really fun. ”

I said to Noah, "By the way, Noah, I'll introduce you to some of my friends in El City, Bobby, Marvin, and Spee, who are Noah and Shirley Newman......
