In the blink of an eye, the year has passed, and the month of recovery has quietly come. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the mortal world, the beginning of the year is a time to celebrate, and in every country, celebrations have already begun, and in the first few days of the new year, most cities remain sleepless all night.

But in the wizarding world, many wizards only close their eyes, and when they open their eyes, another year has passed. Even, some people study a technique, that is, ten or eight years. Wizards with long lifespans never feel celebrated by the turn of the year.

The only reaction to the New Year is probably for them to sigh when they mention it: "Hey, another year has passed?"

For Ingres, however, the new year represents the end of the five-year period. The sense of urgency in his heart also began to raise his throat. He originally had very little time to rest, but now he is squeezing every minute and every second, laying a solid foundation and improving his strength, and he has barely slept for half a month.

With the strength of his current second-level peak apprentice, if he hasn't slept for a month or two, he will be mentally exhausted at most, but there is no problem physically.

When the 10th day of the first month of recovery arrives, the Purification Garden also enters the real activation phase.

......

The month of recovery means that the goddess of spring has returned to the world, and everything is about to be revived. But in fact, every year in the month of recovery, the goddess of spring is in a standby state, and it is not until the moon of flowers that the frozen heaven and earth will be leisurely thawed.

And the month of flowers is still more than two months away.

Therefore, when the Purification Garden was opened, the entire Machinery City was still shrouded in goose feather snow. The breath exhaled from the mouth can condense into a frost mist.

Champagne Road -

Because today is the opening day of the Purification Garden, most of the apprentices who live here have begun to walk towards the opposite side of the Machine City. For a while, the streets that were usually deserted suddenly became lively, with demons dancing and strange costumes.

From time to time, several figures flew in the sky, and the target was also directed in the direction of the Purification Garden.

When the crowd was almost gone, the door of Kihara's bar was pushed open, and Nausicaa, Shan, and Hiryu, the three of them also walked out, followed behind the crowd, and slowly left.

To be precise, it was Nausicaa walking, Shan sitting on Gank's left shoulder, and Hiryu sleeping on Gank's right shoulder.

"Alas—" Shan sighed, with a hint of sorrow on her immature face, and looked at Hiryu who had fallen asleep on the other side, "Is it really good for her to go like this? ”

Hiryu didn't seem to feel the danger he might face, and a quiet smile appeared on his lips, as if he was experiencing a beautiful dream.

Nausicaa's eyes flashed with worry about Hiryu's sleepiness regardless of the occasion, but she thought more than Shan's sentimentality. She muttered, "Since Hiryu's mentors let her go, I think there should be a way to solve her lethargy problem. Moreover, each of us cannot always be responsible for others, she should always need to face the future by herself. ”

Shan pouted: "You always like to preach, next time you and Angel go to preach." ”

Nausicaa chuckled under her breath, "Angel...... He doesn't need me to worry. He knows better than I do, and he knows how to be cautious, and sometimes I suspect that his age is fake, and when I face him, it is as if I am facing a peer. ”

"Really?" Shan tilted her head, her horns dangling towards the sky, "But I think he's quite immature, such a big man, and he's afraid that people will know that he likes milk." ”

Nausicaa asked rhetorically, "Isn't it good to keep your mind mature while still having a bit of innocence in your heart?"

"That's right. Shan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Nausicaa. However, she still sighed and redirected the topic to Hiryu: "But I'm still worried about Hiryu, if I enter the Purification Garden this time, I can meet Hiryu or you." ”

"Pray you'll meet Kiru, my words ......" Nausicaa pinched her right palm with a silver metallic sheen, her eyes full of stalk, "I'm sure I'll survive." ”

Under the layers of dark clouds, snowflakes fell leisurely, falling on the heads of everyone, on Nausicaa's fist.

It's like a hymn to falling snow, and Nausicaa is a delicate red in the snow.

Soon, they left the main city, passed through the gravity gate, and entered the inverted world - the opposite.

This kind of handstand is just upside-down from the perspective of outsiders, but there is no feeling for the person walking in it.

There were more and more people around, and as far as Nausicaa could see, there were thousands. According to this ratio, the number of apprentices who enter the Purification Garden is definitely more than five figures, or even more......

Nausicaa noticed that the vast majority of the apprentices had smiles on their faces, and they were clearly still happy that they could be purified. What they don't know is that, perhaps, this is their last smile.

Almost all the people in the sky who can fly on a flying vehicle, or use the art of flying, are elite apprentices. And these people are all serious-faced, and even they are ready for this, and the little shrimp on the ground who doesn't know it, what's so happy about it?

You know, the Purification Garden will eventually cut off ninety percent of its apprentices!

This means that no matter how lively it is now, the contrast will be even stronger when it returns. It may be good to be deserted, but the lonely shadow may be the most realistic scene.

For a while, Nausicaa and his party also rested, but Hiriu was still asleep, not knowing the light of the outside world.

Through the long, tall walls made of metal, they came to a valley where the heights on either side were surrounded by metal walls, and there was a hidden flow of magic around them.

By the time they gathered to the spot the invitation card pointed, the figures were already black.

"Once here, there's no way back. Nausicaa looked at the rows of magical eyes on the high ground and whispered.

Shan's expression also became serious, and she found that Ganke was trembling under her: "It seems that the mechanical city has made a big move this time, Ganke has a natural premonition of danger, and it is afraid of the flow of magic on the high ground, deeply afraid. ”

"After all, there are rules for this. Nausicaa sighed, "But where are the rules in the wizarding world?"

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

There are more and more people coming to the valley, and the strange costumes and various special effects are no longer enough to show their personal style, and everyone begins to use magic to drive away the people next to them.

Anyway, everyone is going farther and farther away with the weird style of painting.

The three of Nausicaa were also provoked, just because they chose a place under a large tree on the edge and happened to walk into another person's magic circle. A man wearing heavy makeup, wearing a high cloak around his neck, glared at Nausicaa with fierce eyes: "Dare to enter the warning range of my dignified Prince Eberia, you want to die......"

Before he could finish his words, Nausicaa stretched out her palm against his chest: "Get out, there's no time to talk nonsense with you." ”

In an instant, the man turned into a spiral, crossed a parabola through the air, and slammed into the mountain wall.

Nausicaa's movements instantly caused a commotion among the surrounding crowd.

They whispered, speculated, and ridiculed. But this had no effect on Nausicaa, and her palm did deter outsiders, and no one dared to step forward.

"Your hurricane spiral, you're getting more and more proficient. The man was still able to move after he landed, apparently you kept your hand. Half a month ago, you couldn't even control it. No one came up to disturb her, and Shan was happy to be idle, smiling at Nausicaa.

"I just have some experience with the magic catheter in my arm. Nausicaa laughed.

"In this way, these mechanical arms are indeed more useful to you today than transplanting foreign objects. There may be rejection of the transplant, but you don't have a little rejection, and it greatly deepens your strength. A hint of envy flashed in Shan's eyes: "You are so powerful now, I want to break my arm." ”

Not to mention that Shan can't do it, her words also show the power of the mechanical arm.

In the middle of their chat, Xiliu, who was originally in a coma, suddenly woke up and looked around with misty eyes: "Have you arrived at the Purification Garden?"

"It's still in the gathering place, and I don't know what the situation is yet. Nausicaa said.

Kiryu nodded, looking at the dense crowd around him, his brows furrowed slightly. Then she covered her ears violently, and she heard so many flowing sounds, some harsh, some dull, some noisy, that it made her feel bad.

After a long pause, Kiryu calmed down a little.

"Is it better now?" Shan worried, they knew Hiryu's talent, she was sensitive to any flowing liquid, and with so many people present, the sound of blood alone was enough to distress Hiryu for a while.

"I forgot to block out the noise just now, but it's much better now. Hiryu's face was a little pale, "There are a lot of powerful bloodlines here, and the blood flows like mercury, which is difficult to deal with." ”

"No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is not as difficult as that group of people. Shan pointed to a plain area on the right side of the valley, which was barely people, empty and in stark contrast to the rest of the place.

"What's going on over there?" asked Hiryu curiously, "Why hasn't anyone passed?"

Hiryu noticed that there were only a dozen people over there, but they occupied a range of miles. Some floated in mid-air, some leaned against the trees, and some sat cross-legged, but none approached the other, each seemingly occupying one side.

"Because no one dares to go there. A ghostly light flashed in Nausicaa's eyes: "The people there are all elites of the major wizarding organizations, and their strength is outstanding among their peers. ”

Shan also nodded, and counted carefully: "'Ice and Snow Dance' Shan Yeluo, 'Philosopher' Suya Tutai, 'Dream Reading' Flode, 'Companion Insect Tide' Yi Xiu ......"

"These are famous apprentices. When Shan was almost finished, her eyes kept looking: "Strange...... Why didn't you see Angel?"

Nausicaa shrugged: "I think with Angel's character, it shouldn't be so flamboyant that he wants to show his face at this time." Moreover, there are only a dozen elite apprentices over there, do you think there are only a dozen or so elite apprentices involved in the Purification Garden this time?"

As soon as Nausicaa finished speaking, Hiryu suddenly screamed, clutching his ears and slumping on Gank's shoulder.
