The magician from the time of peace

Merris was sitting on a chair, with his arm leaning against the back of the chair, holding a pen in one hand, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the pen holder, with a puzzled expression on his face, his brows were slightly frowned, and he said nothing.

Although Lamb's words reshaped him into a new three-dimensional view, Merris has not yet substituted his relationship with Felix into the "lovers" so quickly.

He thought carefully about the way of getting along with the few lovers he knew in his short life: his father and mother are always inseparable, although each has a heavy responsibility, even if there is a second of free time, they will definitely hold hands Hands hid aside and kissed each other, eyes stuck to each other's body and couldn't be torn off.

Then Philly and I haven't gotten to this point yet, Merris thought.

However, it is obviously a very wrong choice to compare intimacy with a couple who have had three children. Merris continued to recall: his cousin has been dating a commoner woman, which is said to be because the lady is a tavern The chef of the restaurant has superhuman cooking and wine-making skills. After having a meal there once, his cousin was astonished. Breaking up, but he remembered that his cousin had been planning an engagement a few months ago.

Merris quickly put him and Felix in, thinking about whether he would have a falling out with the family if the family stopped him from interacting with Felix—but there was no need to think about it, because everyone in the family knew him The analogy of being so nice to share a room with Felix and not having anyone come forward to ask him to sever ties with Felix simply doesn't hold.

Merris pondered over whether he was in love with someone he was familiar with in a place closer to their lives.

Have!A girl who worked with him fell in love with a palace soldier at first sight some time ago, so she even gave up staying up all night. From [-] to [-] o'clock every day, even if she still had a half-finished experiment on hand, she would throw it aside Go to bed right away, just so that you can get up early the next day, hold a bouquet of roses, and rush to the palace to have a few words with that soldier.

I wouldn't do that just to see Fili!Merris thought, anyway, you can see them when you open the door, and it is normal for them to stay up late together, so there is no need to make any choices between career and relationship.

Hmm... I feel like after much deliberation, I can't find a couple template that is exactly the same as their situation to compare with.

Merris was frowning, as if he had encountered a peerless problem, and his pretty face was pulled into a ball.

"What are you thinking?"

A deep voice sounded beside her, and Merris was startled. Looking up, she found that Felix had entered the room at some point, with a book under his arm and a heavy-looking bag in his hand.

"You're back." Merris raised the corner of his mouth: "Have you gained anything?"

"A little bit, I'll try it later." Felix put the things in his hand on the table, and Merris looked over curiously. There were more than a dozen small bags in the bag, which contained the color and fineness respectively. different powders.

Merris glanced at the things Felix brought back, and found that apart from these unknown powders, there seemed to be something missing.

"Philly, where's the book you brought out of Nell's room?"

"It was confiscated." Felix looked unhappy.

"What?" Merris was slightly startled.

"I just went to the alchemist to discuss some issues, but when she saw the book, she screamed loudly and almost attracted the guards. Later, she refused to let me take the book away, so I had to leave it to her It's gone." Felix said displeased, as if he wasn't the one who made the mistake first.

Merris couldn't help laughing, causing Felix to stare at him dissatisfied, but after a while, he calmed down and said softly: "I'll give her the book, anyway, I don't need it for the time being."

How can it be called "giving" something that is not yours.Merris smiled secretly, but didn't point it out, and just followed his words: "Have you discussed with Agnes what to do next? Speaking of which subject you are working on now, should it still be..."

"That's right," Felix seemed to know what he was going to say next, "I finally made some new progress on how to fix the magic above level 4, and if everything goes well, I can make it before arriving on that island. "

"I knew you were still struggling with this..." Merris sighed, "I don't study in the same field as you, so I won't comment on your persistence."

Felix nodded, and didn't say a word of nonsense afterwards. He sat down at the table, spread out a piece of white paper that occupied half of the table, and began to write and draw.

According to the usual situation, Merris should go back to bed and sleep now, recharging his energy for the journey ahead, or holding a book and sharing the same lamp with Felix.But because of Lamb's previous visit, there was a different ripple in his heart.

Felix's short black hair glowed with a thin layer of light under the light, his focused eyes were fixed on the paper, he was writing quickly with a quill in one hand, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his teeth were biting lightly The lips and eyes are a bit tired, but more of them are burning light. Just looking at them can make those who have wasted their time confess from the bottom of their hearts.

But in the eyes of Merris, who had never wasted his life, this common scene made him have a very subtle idea—he actually felt that Feli, who was so engrossed, had a little sex appeal.

Felix, on the other hand, knew nothing about the thoughts in the hearts of his friends behind him. He just got a new clue to solve the problem, and he was immersed in the pleasure of breaking through new ideas. Putting down the pen, I intend to look at the height of the moon outside the window to figure out how much time I can spend sleeping tonight.

After watching the moonlight, he turned around to take a rest, only to find that Merris, who had been sitting on the bed, was still awake. At this time, Lan Yingying's eyes were looking at the ceiling, and his eyes were slightly empty.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

The blond-haired magician shook as if awakened, his eyes slowly dropped, and finally landed on Felix, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm thinking about something, what time is it now?"

"It's getting late." Felix sat down on the bed and asked casually, "What are you thinking about?"

Merris replied seriously: "It's a lifelong event."

Felix: "..."

Even a man with such a quick mind would never have guessed that his friend would think about such problems late at night.

And for some reason, when he heard this, he felt an indescribable sourness in his heart—as a person who can say whatever comes to mind, he immediately asked: "What did you think of?"

Merris hesitated for a while, and said in embarrassment: "One person can't think of anything..."

"Oh."

Felix loses interest all of a sudden, and the oppression in his chest disappears. He takes off his shoes and goes to bed to get ready for sleep.

"Don't sleep yet," Merris stopped him with a smile, "I'm waiting for you because I can't figure it out alone."

Felix who has already covered the quilt: "???"

Merris got up from his bed, sat on the edge of Felix's bed, and said solemnly: "Let me ask you, do you think the two people who hug, hold hands, and kiss are friends or lovers?"

"Lover."

Merris said "huh" for a while: "Then why do you say we are friends?"

Felix froze, realizing something, his face stiffened.

Looking at the silent Felix, Merris also felt a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere became weird for a while, neither of them knew what to say.

"I didn't think that much at all." It was Felix's annoyed words that broke the silence: "Anyway, you are always by my side, why should I think so much about what I have and what I don't have?"

Merris is still struggling with the details: "Why do you take it for granted that people who have those behaviors are lovers? I thought about it all night before I figured it out."

"Because I'm a commoner, even if I don't want to understand, I can still see how ordinary people fall in love." Felix mocked: "I have more common sense than you, young master."

"Why are you laughing at me suddenly? Don't you always acquiesce in our friendship!" Merris was dissatisfied.

"Because your mentor is a homosexual pervert and a nonsense liar, and you have been with him for so long but you haven't found anything." Felix said mercilessly.

Just as Merris was about to continue arguing, he suddenly laughed again: "Why do you say we are perverts?"

"When did we hang on to the word 'normal'?"

"That's right, and being with you, it doesn't matter if you're called a pervert." Merris smiled and said softly.

"Me too."

------

When the night is deeper.

"Feli, are we like this...are we saying goodbye to being friends and being promoted to lovers?"

"Ah."

"Then logically speaking, is it going to be a confession of love?" Merris was a little excited, this was his first time in love!

"Didn't I say 'I love you' to you?"

"...That's right, we don't know how many times we have said it." Merris thought carefully about the few love novels he had read: "What about the kiss of the vow?"

Felix squinted at him.

No need for him to say anything, Merris himself felt bored, so he had to continue to use his excellent memory: "By the way, we have to exchange rings!"

He stretched out his finger, wearing five or six large and small rings on it, he picked it up, chose an amethyst ring face, grabbed Felix's hand and put it on: "Look, see Go for this one that suits you best, in fact there are better ones out there, but it’s a pity that they’ve been used up in the past few days, so you can make do with this one, and I’ll pick a brand new one for you after a while—hey, why can’t you wear it!”

Felix: "Isn't it obvious, how could your tail ring be on my ring finger?"

Merris: "..."

He was so disappointed that he didn't even have the strength to put the ring back on himself.

It doesn't matter if the relationship remains the same, it's better to go to bed... Meris thought unhappy.

"Stretch out your hand." Felix said suddenly.

Merris didn't know what to do, turned to look at him, and was momentarily stunned by his movements.

Felix's finger drew a circle in the air, and the water element in the air happily followed his guidance, condensing into cold and hard ice crystals—a pair of ice without ring faces, but with special water patterns around the rings. The ring fell into his palm.

"Hand out," he repeated.

Merris's eyes were shining, and he smiled as his friend—no, it should be called a lover now—put the ring on him, and then brought the remaining one, and put it carefully on the Fei Lex's finger.

"You make do with this first, and you can choose a brand new one for us after a while." Felix quoted what the other party said rigidly, but he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"You are amazing..." Maurice sighed, and he raised his hand to admire his new ring through the light. Despite the dark lines of the water ripples, this is still the most simple jewelry he has ever worn , but he couldn't help repeating: "It's great, this is great...you are so good."

Felix said with dismay: "This will probably melt tonight."

"Then it's also the most perfect ring I've ever received." Merris praised sincerely, and he held Felix's hand—even though he was wearing an ice ring, both hands were very warm— Smile at him: "Go to sleep, I don't want to see the moment it melts."

Felix nodded. He lifted the quilt and covered Merris inside. Two people were squeezed into the single bed, but the two people with their fingers interlocked and their ears rubbed against each other didn't feel cramped.

Felix was indeed sleepy, so he didn't say it: he was willing to make countless pairs of rings for him, so he didn't have to care about the melting of one ring—after all, he had traveled through thousands of years for him, what else would he not want to do? ?
