noble magician

Butler Ponchard led Lance to the house arranged for him. Along the way, he kept introducing the passing buildings to him, and asked him about his preferences carefully, with a very kind attitude.

"Mr. Butler, is my father here too?" Lance asked Butler Punchard in his new residence.

Punchard poured him a cup of black tea and said, "No, he's not here. If you miss your father, write him a letter. The letter paper and pen are in the drawer over there. When you are on vacation, He will definitely be back."

Lance was a little disappointed, but thanked the housekeeper anyway.

"Mr. Ander, how has he lived these years?" Butler Punchard asked suddenly.

"How did he live? Ah, he likes to drink very much, and he almost lives by holding a bottle of wine." Lance replied after thinking for a while.

Punchard was silent for a while, and said sadly and somewhat relieved: "However, fortunately, you are here."

His words stunned Lance for a moment.

"Is there any other order?" asked the conscientious Mr. Housekeeper.

Lance shook his head.

"Then, please come to me again when you have something to do."

It seems that Ender will not be seen for a while, and Lance is going to write a letter to Ender.He came to the drawer that the housekeeper had mentioned, and there were really neatly placed paper and pens in it.

Two sheets of letter paper are equal to one gold coin, and there is a whole stack of letter paper here, at least hundreds of sheets.

Lance took out two of them, and sat down at the desk to write a letter.A letter was written to his father, Ender, telling him that he had arrived safely and wanted to see him sooner.The other letter was addressed to Katie, and the content was similar.

After the two letters were sent, it didn't take long for the bamboo tube to light up white. Lance's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the letter inside.It was Kaidi who sent the letter, and he simply replied to Lance's letter, saying that everything was fine, and he didn't say anything else.

Lance waited and waited, unable to wait for Ender's reply.

"Isn't it okay to drink less wine, hum!" The teenager who missed his father complained dissatisfied.

Lance started his new life in Mayman City, but he always felt a little uncomfortable in this strange place.

He can deal with spending the night in the field, but he is not used to the overly luxurious and comfortable big bed in the house.He can eat hard bread to satisfy his hunger, but he is not used to eating slowly with expensive tableware.And the most important thing is that it is too boring, Lance has nothing to do.

Soon he returned to his old job and went to a small place farther away to perform tasks.Meiman City is different from Scorching Wind City. The Mage Temple here is well-managed, and there is no need for people like Lance.

Basically, no one cares about where Lance goes, only the housekeeper Ponchard disagrees.He once explained this matter when Jogo casually asked about Lance's situation, but Duke West just smiled and said casually, "Young people should be more active", so even Mr. Steward stopped commented on this.

In addition, Lance's biggest gain is the apprentice-level magic skill book.These books were found for him by the caring Mr. Housekeeper, and these books are all ready-made in West's house.Lance, who was hungry for magic, plunged into the study of magic, and his life became busy again, but he never saw Ender.

If you want to learn a magical skill, you can't do it without a certain amount of comprehension and repeated practice.And some people can't comprehend one more skill in their whole life, so their magic attainments will come to an end.

Beginner-level and apprentice-level magic skill books are not difficult to obtain. They are sold in many shops, and you only need to spend gold coins to buy them. However, there is a huge difference between the two.

Beginner-level magic is the most basic and easy to understand. As long as you have magic talent, you can always learn one or two of them by self-study.The magic of the apprentice level is much more profound, and it is difficult to comprehend it without the guidance of a teacher, unless one has extraordinary magical talent.Even so, it is always more efficient to have a teacher guide you.

The apprentice-level magic book given to Lance by Mr. Steward includes various departments. Lance took a preliminary look at it, and first chose the Summoning of the Summoning Department "Summoning of the Fire Samurai" to start studying.It's just that Lance has never learned systematic magic knowledge, and his understanding of magic depends entirely on "feeling", so this skill book seems to him like a heavenly book, and Lance feels deeply frustrated because of this. At the same time, I look forward to going to school even more.

In the blink of an eye, the two-month holiday was coming to an end, and it was time for the Orchid Academy to start school again. Young magicians from all over the place packed their bags one after another and began to head towards the city of Burning Wind, where the Orchid Academy was located.And Lance finally met his father, Ander, before leaving Mayman City, but Ander seemed very busy. After the father and son said a few words, he left a sum of money and left.

Lance and Roy went to Lansing College in the same carriage. After getting along with each other for a while, the relationship between the two became a little closer, but that's all.

As a second-year student, Roy volunteered to act as a guide, led Lance to report to the academy, and told him something about the academy while walking.

"It takes a total of four years to study. The first year's courses are very full, and you have to learn everything. The purpose of the academy is to cultivate the most perfect magician. The ideal state is to be proficient in all magic. Does it sound exaggerated? ?”

"Don't most magicians have their own specialties?" The magicians that Lance has met usually practice two to three series of magic.

"Yes, but more than one magician has done it in the past. It's just that for most magicians, this is an impossible task. Even so, the academy has not changed the teaching method." Roy shrugged Said.

There are many people coming and going in the academy, and as a high-class nobleman, Roy naturally has many people who know him.Along the way, he met many people who came to greet him or invite him, and even a few people Roy didn't know at all came to make friends.Roy dismissed them one by one quite familiarly on the pretext that he still had something to do, and he showed a somewhat helpless smile to Lance.

At this time, there was a commotion in front, and a person ran towards this side at high speed, knocking down several people because of his speed, as if he was being chased by some ferocious beast.

"Ah, that's not..." Lance realized that the visitor was an acquaintance.

Seeing this familiar scene, Roy's face froze when he was able to face the frequent strike-ups of strangers with ease.

"We better hide now!"

Roy pulled Lance to hide behind a tree on the side of the road, but it was too late, or the speed of the person who was rushing was too fast.Before the two had time to hide, they saw the man rushing straight towards them, apparently having spotted the two of them, and Lance even saw the moment when the man's eyes lit up.

The moment he was caught, Lance thought to himself: With this speed, can't he avoid the shadow cat's sneak attack?

Lei Zhe barely stopped his forward momentum, grabbed Lance, who was closer to him, and blocked him in front of him!

When Lance saw the scene in front of him, he was startled, and saw that the lady Evelyn seemed to be transformed into a wind beast, approaching at a speed not inferior to Lei Zhe, and she was about to collide with him!

There was a "bang" sound of bodies colliding, and a few stars appeared in front of Lance's eyes, and he heard a nice female voice coming from his ear: "Hey, isn't this the one I met in the hotel?" You? Ah, you are Lei Zhe's friend! What's your name..."

"His name is Lance, my uncle's adopted son." Seeing that the "crisis" had passed, Roy leisurely stepped out of the grass by the roadside, and shook the hem of his clothes gracefully.

After hearing Roy's introduction, Evelyn immediately realized that Lance was a commoner. She greeted Lance and turned her attention back to Lei Zhe.

"Baby Lei Zhe, I just want to introduce you to the lovely juniors in the first grade. Do you need to run so fast? You are so rude!" Evelyn walked around Lance and reached out to catch Lei Zhe behind him.

Lance immediately felt a strong force coming from his arms, pulling him away from his original position and pushing him forward!Solidly blocked in front of Evelyn again.

Lance's head is full of black lines, dare to use him as a human shield!It was the same last time, what tricks are these two playing, why do they always involve him?The blue veins on Lance's forehead popped up, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Let go of me."

But how could Lei Zhe listen?He grabbed Lance several times to avoid Evelyn's claws, and felt that the human shield in his hand was very handy.

Lance was helpless and didn't want to use violence. He looked at Roy, hoping to get some hints, but the other party just turned his head away and pretended not to see his pleading for help.Lance had no choice but to say to Evelyn: "Miss Evelyn, I have to report for duty, look..."

Before Evelyn made a statement, Lei Zhe's eyes lit up behind him, and he said, "You're right, there are still such important things to do! Lance is not familiar with the academy, so I'll take him there!"

In fact, there are a lot of people who come to report, so there are road signs showing the correct route everywhere. Even Lance, who is coming to Lansi for the first time, can find the right place.He had expected Evelyn to refute, but instead she agreed.

"Since this is the case, there is no other way. You guys go first. I have to save what I just said for next time."

As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, Lei Zhe, who had received the "amnesty", disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving Roy and Evelyn standing in place.

"When did they meet?" Evelyn asked Roy.

"Probably the last time in the Duffer Woods." Roy replied recalling the scene at that time.

"It seems that the relationship is not bad." Evelyn nodded in relief, as if she was very sure of her judgment.

Roy was noncommittal: "Lei Zhe has a lot of problems to correct."
