Gardener Mage Notebook

Friends, are you interested in learning magic? "

Merlin was taken aback by Xuete's sudden change of attitude: "Magic?"

"Yes, with magic, you can have a title, countless gold and silver treasures, and countless beautiful women to accompany you!" Xue Te lowered his tone, like a big bad wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood. "I can see that Merlin, you have great potential to learn magic~~~" Then Bi Xuete touched Merlin's forehead, "So accept this letter of recommendation~~ This is a letter of recommendation from the Royal Academy of Magic!"

Merlin looked at Xue Te tangledly, should he bring it up, now that he is penniless, what he said is actually very unreliable?

"Okay! If you don't answer, I will take it as your agreement!" Xue Te put the letter into Merlin's hand without saying a word, then lifted the quilt and turned his back to him, pretending to sleep. "I want to sleep now~ I'm asleep~ Wake me up when the corn soup is ready~"

Merlin took the letter from the Royal Academy of Magic, thought about it, and put it on the table. He couldn't accept such a valuable thing.

Xue Te, who was lying on the bed, opened one eye, "Little Merlin, you can't help but don't want this..."

Early the next morning, when Merlin was holding a basin of hot water to wash Xuete's face, he found that the window in the small attic was wide open, and Xuete had long since disappeared. Only the snow-white letter was pressed. Under the pots, the wax paint with a lion pattern is clearly visible...

2. Departure

one year later.

In the early morning, the small town of Arird woke up in the bright sunshine. The smell of baked bread came from the bakery, mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the florist's basket, and a beautiful morning was welcoming the people of Arird.However, a small grocery store crowded in an old residential area is a gloomy situation...

The bloated Mrs. August was carrying a huge package vigorously, and her wide skirt swept across a large row of tin cans stacked under the shelves of the grocery store, making a loud clang.

"Oh, it's so small that even a skylark can't stand up!" Mrs. August looked at the chaotic feet and said sadly, but when her eyes turned to her son who was in front of the counter, her complaining eyes instantly became gentle Incomparable. "Little Merlin, I packed your favorite applesauce in this bag, you know?"

"Mrs. August, you've already taken three cans of applesauce." Mrs. August's adopted son, 15-year-old Merlin August, was squatting in front of the counter, carefully checking his luggage.Mrs. August was obviously worried that he would not eat well when he got to school, so he even stuffed two cans of beef jerky into it, and there was nowhere to put his clothes.

Last year, the magician Xuete from the imperial capital fainted from hunger in front of his house, and was picked up by Merlin and brought home. After eating and drinking enough, this down-and-out magician with only his underwear left gave Merlin a piece of royal magic paper. The college's recommendation letter said that Merlin had the talent to learn magic. With this recommendation letter, he could report to the Royal Academy of Magic.Although Mrs. August doubted the authenticity of countless letters of recommendation, the mayor found her the day before yesterday with the recommendation list from the Magic Guild and told her that her little Merlin was one of the new students of the Royal Academy of Magic this year. It was explosive news, and the town of Arird was almost boiling. They never knew that the young son of the owner of the shabby little grocery store was actually a magical genius! ! !

In Oran Continent, magicians have always been an awe-inspiring existence. Magicians with powerful magic use their wands to protect the peace of the country, and use magic to bring countless blessings to the people of this continent. convenient.Because there are not many people with magical talents in this world, magicians have become talents that all countries are vying to win over.The Royal Academy of Magic is the top magic academy in the Kingdom of Macedonia. It is rumored that the most elite magic talents from the empire are gathered here. Now it actually throws an olive branch to a shabby kid in a grocery store, which greatly shocked Arird. Mrs. August’s grocery store suddenly became famous, and the business has not doubled. Mrs. August’s eyes, which count the money every day, narrowed... Cough cough, it’s far away, now this The boy who is a magical genius known as Ariel is still worrying about his luggage.

Merlin scratched his messy blond hair, his face wrinkled into a ball, Merlin wanted to bring too many things when he went out for the first time, and all three suitcases were full.Merlin looked up at Mrs. August: "Mrs. August, my luggage won't fit."

Mrs. August patted her son's head kindly: "It's okay, little Merlin, we still have a few big boxes!" After speaking, she stuffed two packs of milk candy into the box vigorously.Merlin looked at the overwhelmed box, and silently decided in his heart that he should take less.

Mrs. August looked at the packed luggage, and the corners of her eyes became moist. Her little Merlin was about to leave her and embark on the arduous journey of studying alone...

Sensing Mrs. August's silence, Merlin looked at his adoptive mother, his green eyes looked at her suspiciously: "Mrs. August, what's wrong?"

"No, I'm just proud of you." Mrs. August quickly concealed her sadness and said with a smile.

"Mrs. August, I will study magic well." Merlin said.His father died early, and Mrs. August adopted him and raised him single-handedly. Therefore, Merlin's greatest wish was to repay this gentle woman after returning from school.

Mrs. August stroked Merlin's little head and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for little Merlin to come back."

"En!" Merlin nodded vigorously.He bowed his head and continued to pack his luggage.

When the mayor drove the carriage to August's grocery store, he was severely stimulated by Merlin's luggage. Merlin, who is 15 years old but still looks like a little bean, stands among a pile of luggage and suitcases, his thin figure is about to be submerged.

Considering that Merlin will soon be a student of the Royal Academy of Magic, the mayor obediently helped Merlin load his huge luggage into the carriage despite his complaints.

The luggage was quickly loaded into the carriage, and Merlin said goodbye to Mrs. August wearing the new clothes Mrs. August handmade.

"Mrs. August, I will write back often." Merlin stood on tiptoe and hugged Mrs. August.

"Honey..." Mrs. August patted Merlin's back with sobs: "I heard that things in the imperial capital are very expensive, so don't worry about money, just buy what you need, don't worry about running out of money, Mrs. August I'll send you money..." Poor children can't afford anything. Fortunately, the tuition fee for an ordinary student of the Royal Academy of Magic is not very expensive, otherwise she really couldn't afford the money.

The mayor looked at the sky and saw that it was time to leave. He coughed twice and said to Mrs. August: "Mrs. August, if you don't start, you won't be able to catch the magic train."

"Understood..." Mrs. August looked at Merlin who was also reluctant, and kissed Merlin's smooth forehead. Mrs. August smiled with tears in her eyes: "My child, Mrs. August is waiting for you." return."

"En!" Merlin nodded vigorously, his eyes were also red, but he tried not to shed tears.As a man, he can't cry!

Merlin turned around and got into the carriage.The mayor closed the door of the carriage, and the carriage began to leave the gray alley and the small general store.

Merlin stuck to the carriage window, staring at Mrs. August's chubby figure until he couldn't see it.Merlin pursed his lips, retracted his nostalgic gaze, sat upright on his seat, and looked down at the toes of his shoes. They were cowhide boots bought for him by Mrs. August, and the word Merlin was crookedly embroidered on them. Mrs. August embroidered it to prevent others from admitting their mistakes.

The mayor sat across from Merlin, and looked at the little Douding in front of him calmly.Small and thin, with an obviously over-round face and messy blond hair, Merlin is like a doll that his daughter got tired of playing with, dirty and weird, not like a child with magical talent at all... ...The mayor thought of his tall and handsome eldest son, who is what a magician should look like!However, the slander is the slander, and the mayor still has the intention of building a relationship with the young man in front of him who is likely to become a magician.

The mayor asked cautiously: "Mr. Merlin, how did you get selected by the Royal Academy of Magic?"

Merlin raised his head, looked at the mustache with a beer belly in front of him, and after a moment of bewilderment, he replied: "It should be because of the underwear." At that time, Xue Te seemed to be very reluctant to part with the black underwear, so Xue Te must have I think underwear is more important than recommendation letters.Merlin thought seriously.

The mayor twitched his mustache, underwear?What kind of reason is this?

He started putting on airs before he became a magician, the mayor thought sourly, turning his head and ignoring Merlin.

Seeing that the mayor was silent, Merlin lowered his head again and began to observe his boots.

The carriage sped along the small road in the country, and went away in a hurry.

And Merlin.I don't know what variables will be waiting for him in the future...

3. The magic train

After two days of driving, the mayor finally sent Merlin onto the train to the capital of the Macedonian Empire, because it was the time for students from all over the world to go back to school, and most of the trains were young
