crown of stars

Lead-colored clouds shrouded the Kolari Mage Tower, indicating that a storm was about to take shape. Ta Ling, who was wandering in the laboratory on the top of the tower, received the unease brewing in the air, and opened the outer protective cover.Every snow rabbit and winter wolf is scurrying around, trying to find a safe haven before the snowstorm.

The flashing magic shield kept the storm out of the mage tower, while another storm was born in the warm room.

A Ruiwen found an unobtrusive corner and watched the introduction turn into a silent confrontation with cold eyes.His new companion was calmly taking off his sheepskin robe and shaking off the snowflakes on it.Small pieces of skin like delicate ivory, crow-black hair carefully braided, and a pair of sharp smoky blue eyes, are not inferior to the menacing Edwin.

Regardless of status or wealth, he is even more noble than Edwin.

Out of some indescribable mood, A Ruiwen carefully withdrew from the center of the battlefield, followed the instruction of the instructor, and went to the study room to find a stack of tattered old books.To be precise, it is a teaching material for introductory apprentices.

The red-robed mage returned to his subtle and intricate experiments, and threw the half-elf to the enraged eldest son of the earl.Nigel realized that his test had come so quickly, and that the young man on the other side clearly harbored great malice for his uninvited apprenticeship.

"I'm Nigel when we met for the first time. I will spend more time with you in the future."

The eldest son of the earl glared at the half-elf viciously with his red eyes, and gasped for breath, trying to scare the people away with this attitude.When A Ruiwen, who had a good talent, was overwhelmed by his aura when he arrived at the Mage Tower, he sealed his fate of being bullied in the future.

"Oh, newcomer." Seeing the visitor standing in the center of the carpet with a calm demeanor, without the slightest timid expression on his face, Edwin reluctantly leaned over and made a subtle arc.An enamelled gold pocket watch accidentally fell from his pocket to the floor.

"You'd better be sensible, rookie, since you and I will live in the same mage tower for a long time. Don't bother me with your flawed papers and stupid questions, let alone disturb my dear uncle's experiments, You can't bear the consequences." The eldest son of the earl threatened, but the action of fumbling for the pocket watch on the carpet made his momentum greatly compromised, "Go to that coward Ariven if you have something to do."

A Ruiwen, who was shot innocently, was retreating from the study with a parchment scroll in his arms, and he didn't respond to Edwin's threat.

God knows that Edwin would just rely on his blood relationship with his mentor and his status as aristocrat to hang out here leisurely. If he really asked him a question, it would be really difficult.He can only pretend to scribble on the paper, and then calculate an ambiguous number.If someone does bring it into the formula and can't wait to start experimenting, then the Mage Tower's tight protective circle has done its job again-saving you from a fatal explosion.

It's a pity that his background is really not comparable to that of Edwin, so he can only swallow his anger and let him handle the materials like a servant, calculate the results day and night, and then grab the credit to the mentor.

A Ruiwen hid his resentment in a calm and almost cowardly expression, and stuffed the messy scroll into his trusting arms, and the latter's arm sank visibly.

"Hi, I'm Ariven, and I'm the second apprentice of the mentor. This is Edwin Van Gaven, the eldest son and heir of Earl Gavin of the Eagle Lord, the nephew who respects the mentor, and the most experienced apprentice. A rich apprentice." With some ulterior motives, Ariven introduced to the half-elf.

"Hello, I'm Nigel. If I have any questions, can I ask you for advice?" The half-elf who had captured the psychic powers could clearly see the emotions of the two present. The brass kettle moved away from the charcoal fire, and poured boiling hot tea into three white bone china cups.

"So it's a commoner like a coward." The eldest son of the earl responded arrogantly, but his face was obviously more relaxed. Obviously, the low profile of the newcomer made him feel superior to the commoners.Looking at the elegant appearance of the other party, a bad idea fermented and formed.

"You are more beautiful than the eunuch who serves me."

A Ruiwen was dumbfounded. The eunuch's statement was an extremely vicious insult to any man, and almost no one could take this sentence without changing his face.

But Nigel was an exception. The experience of wandering in the early years made him see a lot of cruelty that violated human relations, and verbal insults were just a breeze.

The new apprentice appropriately mixed three points of anger in his throat, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Edwin, don't go too far!"

The eldest son of the earl laughed nonchalantly and walked away.Ever since he was kicked out of the house by the count, the more he can bully others, the happier he is.At least in this isolated Mage Tower, blood and identity can still settle all injustices.

The new apprentice sat down with a face full of humiliation, and drank the tea in the cup.

"Try this." A Ruiwen pushed a glass of white liquid over again, "I made it according to the book, I don't know if it tastes good or not."

Nigel took a sip of the drink in the cup, carefully holding it between his teeth.Sweet almonds in light goat's milk, maybe honey?The apprentice holding the cup was analyzing the ingredients of the drink while thinking about Ariven's intentions.

"Not bad." Nigel complimented politely.

"It would be great if Edwin could be like you, although I know it's a dream." Ariven looked at the direction where the earl's eldest son disappeared, showing an indescribably complicated expression.

"We will have more time to get along in the future. If you have any questions, you can ask me. These are the things you need to study in the future. These are various elementary magic scrolls for you to transcribe and analyze. Those are basic logic, formulas, Materials Encyclopedia and Monster Encyclopedia. You must familiarize yourself with it in the shortest possible time and keep in mind that the instructor teaches magic every seven days, and there will be two days off at the same time. Before obtaining the instructor’s permission, the study and the three laboratories at the end of the corridor on the right are forbidden areas. If you don't want to die."

For inexplicable reasons, with numbness, imperceptible schadenfreude and relief, and secret excitement, Arivan concealed the dilemma the newcomer was about to face.

After the newcomer arrives, Edwin's firepower will definitely pour on Nigel, and he can also take this opportunity to catch his breath, and even ask his instructor for academic questions, so that he can become an official mage as soon as possible and leave the remote Northland.

"Thank you, if there is a problem, I won't hide it." An all-too-familiar emotion, he has witnessed the birth of this emotion countless times, even himself.

The image of the earl's eldest son gradually formed an outline in Nigel's mind, and he kept asking for information from the ready-made second apprentice.

The second apprentice temporarily took off his mask and sighed sadly. Although he will leave here one day and try his best to build a mage tower, when he thinks of Edwin's existence, his heart is always full of pessimism .

If such a person was with the white robe, he would probably be kicked out, but with the black robe, he might become a breakfast for all kinds of violent experiments.Only here can one be unscrupulous by relying on the blood relationship with the mentor.

"Maybe I will become his servant, but I will not admit defeat. I came here to pursue magic, and obedience will only make him worse. Only strength can make him shut up, and then make him prostrate in front of you."

Long-suppressed resentment started with a single sentence, and could turn from sparks to raging fire at any time.

Nigel was sitting on a soft chair, with a straight figure, shining eyes, and a sonorous voice guiding A Ruiwen's emotions.

For a moment, Ariven wanted to rush out of the room and duel with the Earl's eldest son, and the self-control he was proud of took effect at this time.

After realizing that his emotions were temporarily out of control, the second apprentice's back was soaked in cold sweat, realizing that apart from the eldest son of the earl, his new companions were not as harmless as they appeared.

Nigel withdrew the psionic energy scattered in the square inch, and the original impulsive anger was no longer on his face.

"Edwin is not an easy guy to deal with. Although he is an idiot, I don't guarantee that the mentor will not get angry because of it." Ariven suggested cautiously, twirling the amber ring on the leather glove anxiously.

"I will tolerate him with a limit, as long as he knows how to measure, peace and harmony is the best ending."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." A Ruiwen took three seconds to decide to become an ally of the newcomers. Instead of continuing to be a cow for Edwin, it is better to form an alliance with the newcomers. "Edwin never takes civilians seriously, and He also has mentors."

"No, it's not like that. Edwin is afraid, afraid that we have the ability to defeat him."

"Before going against the noble eldest son of the earl, it's better to learn the most basic theory first." Ariven, who was considered cowardly, took out a copper key and put it on the stack of books.

"The seventh room in the corridor on the left on the third floor has a very beautiful terrace, please work hard there."
