Wizard of the Pendulum Forest

(fourteen)

In this way, the wizard and the princess met, and later they became very good friends.After Kexilia returned to the palace, she admitted her mistake to her parents, and got their forgiveness.However, the little princess really likes her new friend, so she often comes to this forest, happily chatting with the wizard, and watching the wizard stumbling and casting magic.

"Why are your spells so strange?" Although Kexilia was two years younger than Ferdinand, she was already as tall as a wizard, "Hmm... When we first met, did you call out some strange spells? Really? It was terrible, and it fell off without grasping it firmly."

"I just tried to translate that spell, but I didn't expect it to be like this." The wizard put away his wand, rummaged through the box to find a bottle of jam, and couldn't open it no matter how hard he twisted it, but Kecilia took the bottle and said, "Crack!" It opened immediately, "Thank you so much, Kecilia... that is a tracking spell, usually used to find a small thing in a pile of debris, and I just learned it."

"Translation?" Kecilia seemed to have grasped the point.

"Because magic is created by dragons, which allow people to mobilize their magic power quickly. Of course, it is not the dragon clan that is now legendary," the wizard explained, "so the first magic spells were written in dragon language, and some wizards like to use it directly. I recite the spell in dragon language, but I think dragon language is rude and unpleasant, so I directly translated it into human language, and the effect is the same, but unfortunately I can't control the flow of magic power well now, so there will always be some deviations."

"That's amazing too." Kexilia admired sincerely, and couldn't help touching the squirrel's fur.The poor little guy was sleeping very soundly with his tail in his arms, and he didn't respond to the moving human fingers on his body.

"By the way, Kecilia, do your parents know about the few times you've come out these days?"

"Of course, Ferdinand, I won't do anything reckless again, I have already reported my going out." Kecilia looked up at the sun and stood up, "It's getting late, sir, I have to go - someone will take me home, don't worry."

"So early?" The wizard was a little disappointed. After all, the wizard lived alone in the forest all year round and was used to loneliness, but he was also looking forward to the visit of his friends. "I also want to show you my new potion, which is dark blue. With a sparkling sea potion, I think you'll like it."

"Wow, that sounds great," Kecilia hesitated, "but I want to check on Moka before I go home, he seems to have something new."

"Moka, the hunter's son, I heard that he has practiced swordsmanship well recently, and he still has time to learn the craft of carpentry?"

"Yes, we are all learning new things." Kecilia tilted her head and said goodbye to the wizard, "I will bring you honey mille-feuille next time. Do you like matcha or red bean?"

"Matcha! Red beans! No problem, I like them all!"

"That's very good, sir, and so am I."

The little princess waved vigorously to Ferdinand, and left the forest briskly.

In this way, year after year, the little princess grew up slowly, and Ferdinand also became a real wizard, who could release magic without chanting spells.

Kecilia would often come to this forest during her vacation time, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and the crisp birdsong, and at the same time chatting with the wizard for a long time, telling Ferdinand some outside news and daily life. Complaints about life, while Ferdinand would show him some newfound magic, proudly announcing how much he had improved.

"I don't want to take etiquette classes. I have to stand up and sit down with heavy things on my shoulders every day, or I just walk around, and I have to read some long, long poems that I don't know what they are expressing. Even Can't even eat well, how to hold the knife and fork, whether to cut from this side or from that side, how deep can you cut through a steak easily without the knife and fork hitting the utensils to rattle... oh my god , Sir, I really want to be like you, running freely in the forest."

"You don't like it," the wizard said casually, "I am used to living alone, but you are not used to it. There are so many people in the capital, and there are probably many people in the palace. I really want you to live in the forest for a few days. , I’m afraid I can’t even swallow the bread.”

"You underestimate me," Kecilia made a face at him, "Even if Kecilia can't be an explorer, she can definitely live alone... It's getting late, I have to go back , I have a piano test and a classical test in the afternoon."

"Aren't you going to Moka's today?" The wizard lay lazily on the recliner, drinking milk tea to his heart's content.

"I won't go," the little princess obviously hesitated, she scratched her hair, and the delicate braids were suddenly messed up, "Otherwise I will miss the exam, and Mom and Dad won't be happy to see me waste my studies for fun... Next time Let's go again."

"Choose wisely. Be careful on the road, Your Highness."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

However, when the wizard next saw Kecilia, something happened to her.
