The magician from the time of peace

In the end, Nell and Vera exploited the food of the entire island, and treated five uninvited guests to an unappetizing dinner as a settlement.

In addition, they also signed a five-year agreement to clean up the mainland, which was humiliating and humiliating. Nell was very dissatisfied with this, and almost got into a fight with Vera in front of everyone, but Agnes persuaded her to fight—she pulled Nell After entering the small room, she didn't come out for a whole day and night. Finally, Eggers held a thick stack of manuscript paper and bowed deeply to Nell gratefully. Silk flashed continuously, and after the fifth failure, Nell angrily threw the book in the face of the red-haired alchemist, ordering her to go back and write a post-reading essay of more than [-] words, and exchange the post-reading essay for the follow-up paper. content.

Lamb and Foster spent the past few days with Nell and Vera, and the image of the goddess lingering in their hearts was finally disillusioned. Lamb began to give up on himself, washed his face with wine every day, and almost drank all the island of Cole. He was fed a potion by Vera with a smile on his face. From then on, he would have a large red and itchy rash on his body after drinking any alcoholic beverages—this made him stay away from alcohol for years to come. Becoming one of the few knights whose sword skills were not paralyzed by alcohol, King Victory, who was nicknamed by love, changed his name from Son of Dawn to Guardian of Twilight—of course, this is a later story, so let’s not show it for the time being.

The same idol disillusionment, Foster is much better than the decadent Lamb, as a magician, but also a magician who cares about the world, facing the fog that has suppressed the activity of elements in the mainland for hundreds of years, it is about to be cleared He was so excited that he couldn't sleep every night, he practiced his magic whenever he had the opportunity, and it was not enough to use all the elemental magic he could drive. He also extended his hand to the space magic, which was used by Nell Cleared the No. [-] machine and threw it out of the underground palace.A majestic court magician, lived a life of fishing and farming with a group of islanders, but was disliked for not being diligent.

However, in the underground palace of the goddess who hates magic the most, there are two people who are not afraid of being hated by the master at all.

Felix has just finished reading the basic alchemy and material encyclopedia compiled by Vera. Those lengthy and obscure definitions can drive an adult who has been educated for several years crazy, but Felix can read ten lines at a glance, just like reading a popular novel. Browsing at a fast speed, and engraving the content deeply in the mind, fortunately, it will take a while to fully digest and understand, otherwise people can’t help but be jealous of his outstanding talent—but the most puzzling thing is, He can clearly remember the meaning of the terms he glanced at, but he still doesn't know the names of "the one with the sword" and "the useless magician" who followed them along the way.

He stretched for a long time, pulled away his entangled nerve bones, then stood up and poured himself a glass of water, and made a cup of black tea for Merris who was sitting beside him.

Merris was scribbling and drawing on a huge piece of paper with her mouth pursed. It could cover most of the white paper. It was covered with formulas and magic circles, and there were large areas of crossed out corrections. He heard the cup being placed on the table. With a soft sound, he raised his head and smiled at Felix.

"What are you doing?" Felix asked.

"Me? I want to make a long-term teleportation point. When you fixed the magic, I calculated the coordinates of this island by the way. Although I don't remember how to do the teleportation point...but I should be able to do it after a few more tries. Come out, after all, I am already familiar with the basics of space magic." Merris looked up at him, her blond hair slipping from her ears to her shoulders: "And you, what do you want to do next?"

Felix didn't answer. He pressed his hands on the armrests of the chair, lowered his head, and kissed Merris' smooth forehead, followed by his soft lips.

He replied with practical actions: I suddenly want to kiss you.

As for future plans, let's talk about it later.

Felix is ​​a person who is very insensitive to things other than knowledge. With Merris by his side, he can't even tell the difference between life now and 1000 years ago.

Five years later.

A medium-sized town in Never, the residential areas and markets in the city are covered with celebratory banners, and there are bards singing from time to time, and everyone passing by has a beaming smile on their faces.

Two youths wore robes with hoods and walked in from outside the city gate. One of them was surprised to see the lively atmosphere of the city celebration. He took off his hat, showing his brilliant blond hair, and tidied up the stalls by the side of the road. A businessman asked: "Hello, may I venture to ask a question, what are you celebrating?"

This is a businessman who often travels north and south, he is very impatient with this polite and nonsense way of speaking, he raised his head and said bluntly: "You don't know this, it's too outdated——"

The gunpowder-smelling words were swallowed by him, and the businessman looked dully at the young man's face before he stammered after a long while: "—Haha, actually, it's normal to be unclear, let me tell you, today is a new day. On the day when the king ascended the throne, in order to celebrate her ascension, Nefer lowered Victory’s tariff by five points, and the cost of our business dealings will be much less in the future. Sir, would you like to see me here? All the products here come in from qualified alchemists, they are guaranteed to be authentic, and I can give you a [-]% discount!"

The young man listened to him quietly without interjecting or interrupting, and finally smiled slightly: "No, thank you."

"Hey, [-]% off!" The merchant shouted: "And I not only sell alchemy props, but also magic scrolls, sir, take a look, no matter what element you want, I have it! You If you want to smile at me again, [-]% off is fine!"

His voice was so loud that it pierced through the noisy bargaining in the bazaar, and briefly attracted everyone's attention to him.

Attracted for a second.

In the next second, everyone's eyes were glued to the face of the young man who was talking to him, and the bustling market around him suddenly fell silent.

However, the much-anticipated magician seemed unconscious, and smiled at the businessman again: "Thank you, but I really don't need it."

The market that had been quiet just now seemed to gather strength, and there was an astonishing burst of cries:

"I have the best herbs here! I'll give you a [-]% discount!"

"Magic crystals that can greatly increase the intimacy with the elements, you look like a magician, you will definitely need them, as long as you patronize my business more in the future, these few crystals will be given to you!"

"I have a small bomb that is said to be made by the new king himself. I can sell it to you for only twenty gold coins!"

"Get out, you just told me that the cost price is [-] gold coins!"

The scene was chaotic to the extreme, merchants and customers who had lowered prices indiscriminately quarreled, so that when they calmed down, the young man had disappeared.

On the relatively less lively alley, the magician who caused a stir—that is, Merris put on his hood, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect this to happen, it seems that it's a long-lost celebration for everyone. It's all so exciting."

Passersby passing by were chatting: "Did you know? I heard that the old king didn't die naturally, he died of assassination!"

"Scared! Did you find the murderer?"

"Of course not, but in the chaotic situation at that time, Her Royal Highness came out to preside over the overall situation, so that the palace did not fall into chaos and Victory took advantage of it."

"Wow, the princess is so handsome. She is the new king, right? I have lived in peace for several years, and I don't want to fight anymore. Wait...does our country have princesses?"

"The old king used to say that he had no heirs, but in fact, in order to protect and train his child, he did not raise the only princess in the palace, but invited a famous teacher to teach her carefully. If the king hadn't died too suddenly, We will never know that the palace alchemist is Her Royal Highness!"

"Evidently she has never been treated like a royal family, but she can come out to take on important responsibilities when the country needs her most. She is really an outstanding person."

The two walked away with a sigh, leaving behind the thoughtful Merris: "The palace alchemist...the one who is talking about is probably Agnes."

But Agnes obviously grew up in Ge Gehua, who is far away from the royal city. What kind of princess is she... When it comes to the assassination of the king, it could be that she has such a violent temper and quarreled with the king, which made the king mad. , I had no choice but to threaten the ministers, and then made up a story, let's be the new king by the way...

In this way, no one would dare to quarrel with her again.

Felix: "Aigers, sounds familiar, who is it?"

Merris laughed: "You don't remember her anymore? In fact, I thought she, like you, likes to do academic work. It turns out that she has a heart for politics."

Felix frowned: "I don't remember. I am me, how can anyone be similar to me."

"Yes, you are the most unique." Merris comforted, and suddenly sighed: "Time flies, and it has been five years since we came to this era, thanks to the blessings of those two girls who kept their promises." , The activity of the elements in the air has almost recovered, the number of magicians has increased, and even the materials needed for casting spells have been better purchased... Speaking of which, I don’t know what Lamb and Foster are doing now.”

Felix was unhappy: "Why do you keep saying the names of people you've never heard of today? When did you meet new friends?"

Merris was helpless: "...you are obviously quite young, why do you have signs of dementia, I am afraid that you will forget me someday."

"No." Felix said seriously, "I just don't care about unimportant things. You are important to me."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and seemed to think that this short sentence was not enough to dispel Merris' worries, so he repeated it solemnly: "You are very important to me."

Merris was amused, and stretched out his hand to grab Felix, his eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile: "Okay, I see. Let's go buy materials, and then go home. It's been a month."

Felix was taken a few steps by Meris, and he pulled Merris back with strength: "I'm serious, you are stored in a memory bank with magic and alchemy, and you will never forget it, you Do not worry."

"Really? So which one is more important, me or magic?" Merris suddenly felt ill and asked.

Felix suddenly seemed to have encountered the biggest problem in his life, and his whole body froze, his brows were knit together, his expression was terrifying, and he was silent for more than a minute.

No, I am too funny.Merris thought, he bent a smile and leaned in front of Felix: "I'm just kidding, you don't have to be serious—"

Felix quickly pecked him on the mouth, choking the rest of his words.

"If there is no magic, I can watch alchemy in a house with you, but if you are not in the house, I can't see anything."

Merris froze for a moment, then slowly bent his eyes, his sapphire-like pupils reflected beautiful brilliance in the sunlight, he opened his lips lightly: "You—"

This time, the words were blocked again, Felix lowered his head, and muttered in detail: "It seems that I can't see it at all, but it's more difficult to calm down when I see something annoying, and it takes a lot of time. And even if you're not anxious, the speed of reading is much slower..."

Oh, oh, oh, Merris laughed helplessly, he took his lover's hand again, let each finger intertwined, to achieve maximum skin contact, and dragged him to the middle of the market: "I understand You love me, let's take advantage of the preferential tariff period to purchase more."

Felix followed him obediently, and said after a while: "You summed it up correctly, I love you!"

"What a coincidence, I love you too."
