Chapter 98, Reach the End!
The dark room had only a small cluster of light, making it impossible to see what the man looked like, and if you could judge by the sound alone, the man was at most in his forties.
He observed Klose's every move through the magic crystal ball, and suddenly said to his side, "How is it?" Do you want to put this child with you? ”
Then another voice sounded in the shadows: "I've seen him before, and he has a dragon with him." ”
"Oh?" The voice from before asked with interest, "Dragons are rarely seen on the continent anymore. ”
Another voice emphasized, "It's still a black dragon." ”
"Hehehe.... It seems that the day is not far off when our Magic Society will rise again. ”
"I think the birthday of our Magic Guild is going to be gone. There are a lot of unstable factors in this kid, are you sure you have thought about it? Do you really want to take him? ”
"Why not? Could it be that you're too old? Don't you have any more adventurous spirit anymore? After all, the risks and benefits are equal. ”
"A two-hundred-year-old monster says I'm old? Okay, whatever you want, but don't dump him at me, teach him yourself if you like. ”
"Hehe~ You know, I never accept apprentices."
"Then I don't care, don't stuff it for me anyway, I'm leaving."
The voice in the shadows said this, and then turned and left on its own.
The man from before was not angry, and still watched with relish as Klose climbed the steps.
"Hehehe.... You've got a lot of secrets... Wait until you reach the magic capital.... Let me take a closer look. ”
Floating City, the City of Magic.
In the early hours of the morning, the gate of the Tower of Wisdom slowly opened, and a scruffy middle-aged man wearing tattered mage robes stepped out of it.
He looked up at the night sky for a moment, then reached into his arms and pulled out a long cigarette pouch. He lit the fire and took two puffs, and suddenly he sighed and said to himself, "Hey.... It seems that this time the burden .... I can't get rid of it. "
If Klose saw this person here at this time, he would definitely recognize it at a glance, wasn't this the stall owner who sold him a magic shortbow in the magic bazaar?
Yes, it's Ye Zhiqiu, whose name is super literary fan! And his real identity is one of the four permanent directors of the Wizards Association, and he is also a popular candidate for the next president of the Wizards Association.
He sat on the steps in front of the Tower of Wisdom, smoking his cigarette pouch and looking into the distance, until the first sun hit the horizon before he squinted and exhaled.
Suddenly, there were several exclamations at the end of a quiet floating staircase.
"It looks like that kid has come up, he has created the fastest speed in this class...."
The sloppy mage muttered to himself, then slowly stood up and left. It's just that the moment he turned to leave, a smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth.
Yes, that's Klose! He didn't even know that he had invisibly shortened the record of the floating staircase by two whole days! And the last record holder has to go back to 100 years ago.
"Oh my God! You must be a genius! Welcome to the City of Magic~~! What's your name? ”
As soon as Klose reached the last step of the stairs, he felt the pressure around him suddenly disappear.
He was used to the oppression of gravity, and he couldn't adapt to the sudden disappearance at this moment.
At the end of the stairs, even in the early hours of the morning, there were several magicians waiting here.
The magicians were dressed differently than Klose had seen before, a hooded one with a small wand embroidered.... School uniform?
Well, it's a bit like a school uniform.
The one standing at the front looked to be in his twenties, and he always had a warm smile on his face when he looked at Klose, and people couldn't help but want to get close.
"Hello, my name is Nuan Yang! You're welcome to join us! ”
The man held out his hand to Klose.
"Whew.... Warm sun? It's really like the name... Hehe~ Hello, I'm Klose. ”
"Hehe~ I'm a third-year student at the Academy of Magic, and I'm in charge of the reception of new students this time. Kindness.... You'll also need to fill out a form here and you'll be able to go to the lounge to rest. ”
Nuan Yang took a piece of parchment from the table next to him, handed it to Klose, and handed him a quill pen.
Klose smiled and thanked him, and sat down on the floor.
"I'm not going to leave for a while, I still have two friends coming up, I'll wait for them."
"Oh? Friend? You have a lot of confidence in them~"
Nuan Yang said with a smile.
Klose smiled and nodded, because he really didn't have the strength to make small talk.
Although Klose said that he would wait for the two to come up, he also knew that the process could be long or short. So he took out his sleeping bag and slept directly on the ground, snoring all day.
"This...."
Nuan Yang looked at Klose, who was snorting and drooling, and the smile on his face was replaced by a wry smile.
When Klose woke up, he found that it was noon.
At this point, the end of the floating staircase was already full of people. Judging by their uniform uniforms, it seems that they are all students of the magic school watching the excitement.
As for Klose, the man who was sleeping on the ground, everyone had already seen noon from the morning and had long lost interest.
They're also quietly betting on how much time the next one will take to climb to the finish line.
"It's coming, it's coming! This time, two people came at once! ”
The crowd erupted in cheers, and Klose jumped to his feet.
He pulled away the crowd and looked inside, wasn't it Filin and Ian?
"Hahahaha! You two stinky boys! I've slept until you came up? ”
Klose, ignoring the two of them, who were tired of being dogs, ran over and slapped them on the shoulder.
Ian raised his hand begging for mercy and said, "Please... Please don't hit... I... I'm so tired..."
Ian could still speak, but when he looked at Film, he was already lying on the ground.
The more experienced magicians on the side were performing healing spells on him, so there was no need for Klose to worry.
Now that everyone had arrived, Klose put away his sleeping bag and walked side by side to the rest room that the academy had prepared for them.
It was only at this moment that the three of them had the leisure to look around and admire this legendary floating magic city!
The entire floating island is like a magic scroll slowly unfolding in Klose's eyes!
Scenes that can only be imagined are now presented one by one!
Everywhere you look, you'll find towering spires that are both white and blue, and the windows at the top of the towers are flying in and out.
The vines that snake between the buildings create a path of plants in the air like the Magic Bazaar, connecting the buildings of different heights perfectly.
There are all kinds of small islands floating in the air, and they are not very big, but every floating island will have a strange cabin.
Colorful, strangely shaped street shops are next to each other.
Wheelless carriages pulled by unknown bipeds shuttled back and forth on the stone road, and the figure was in a hurry.
Of course, the least of the mages here are the magicians with pointed hats who fly into the sky from time to time!
"It's... This is the Magic Capital? ”
The three of them stood in the square for a long time speechless....
"Hehe~ Let's go, you will have time to look at every corner of this place in the future."
Senior Nuan Yang said behind the three of them, and took the lead in walking in front of them to guide them.
The three of them reacted and hurriedly followed the former's pace.
The end of the floating staircase is in the small square to the south of the Magic Capital.
From here, you can see a white-domed building to the northwest, so it may be a resting place for the freshmen, right?
Walking into this tall building with only one floor, Klose saw many white tents?
Yes, it's a tent! Don't... Are the freshmen resting in tents?
As soon as he vomited in his heart, Nuan Yang led the three of them into one of the tents.
But the moment they stepped inside, they saw an extremely spacious and comfortable hall!
There are soft beds, greenery, furniture, and food.
Klose suddenly remembered the movies he had seen before, and it seemed that this kind of magical tent had appeared in Harry Potter!
Nuan Yang had a warm smile on his face all the time, and he said, "All the new students who pass the test will rest here and wait to be assigned to their respective branches, where there are special tutors who are responsible for teaching everyone the corresponding magical knowledge. Until then, everyone has one more chance to return to the ground, and if you want to say goodbye to your family, you can take advantage of it now~"
Nuan Yang pointed to a wooden door in the room and said: "This door is connected to a small teleportation array, which can be used by you at one time, remember, each person can only use it once~~ As long as you build the place you want to go in your mind, it will take you there, but the time limit for this portal is only one hour, please pay attention to the time." ”
"Senior Nuanyang, how long have you been studying magic here?" Klose asked.
"Me? I majored in light magic, and I chose magic potions as a minor. Kindness... I studied light magic for three years, pharmacy for two years, and apprenticed to Master Perrico for two years... It took nine years! ”
Klose showed a puzzled expression, these three years plus two years and two years and two years, shouldn't it be seven years? Why do you say nine years? Could it be that you have passed the grade?
Although confused, Klose didn't ask this embarrassing question, and after thanking them, Nuan Yang temporarily returned to the freshman reception.
"Oops~~~~~"
Klose jumped onto a soft bed with a flutter and excitedly said, "I don't know what branch we will be assigned to?" Will they be together? ”
Ian leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling, and said expectantly, "My goal here is alchemy!" Will you probably be assigned to the corresponding branch? ”
Fei Lin stirred his fingers a little nervously and said, "I... I used to be good at wind and dark magic.... I also like to read books on all kinds of magic theories... They... Wouldn't you like a student who is good at dark magic? ”
Klose bounced up from the bed suddenly, looked at Film, and said, "You're good at dark magic?" I'm also good at it~~ The magic teacher who led me to get started is a dark elf~! ”
"Dark.... Dark Elves?! Is there really that kind of terrifying creature in this world that is cursed? ”
Hearing the name of the dark elf, Ian is better, but he grew up in the Holy City Palace.... But he was already surprised to grow his mouth.
"What happened to the Dark Elves? My dark elf's name is Nightwind, and she is not only my magic enlightenment teacher, but also my girlfriend~ If I have the opportunity, I can introduce you to you. ”
Filin's expression was even more ugly this time, and he waved his hands in a panic and stammered, "Don't... Don't! Don't introduce me to me! I... I... I'm afraid..."
“...”
Klose looked at the already trembling film speechlessly, and secretly said that not everyone can accept the night wind like the people of their own territory.... No wonder she used to live in seclusion in the Whispering Forest.
