noble magician

On a vast grassland, a Yufeng Beast was on fire, roaring in pain, while running wildly.A cloud of white mist condensed at its feet, which looked somewhat similar to clouds.

An ice arrow was shot from behind it, piercing through his hind paw, nailing it firmly to the ground, preventing its rapid escape.Immediately afterwards, another tongue of flame continuously burned its head, and the tyrannical flame damage continued to deprive it of life.A Soul Imprisonment slapped on it in time, and Yufeng Beast finally fell to the ground with a whimper.

A young man about seventeen or eighteen years old came to the dead Yufeng Beast and cut off its four claws with a short knife.

"This thing can really run."

"When they are seriously injured, they will try their best to escape." Lance said and walked over.

"Your magic seems to be stronger again."

Lance showed a smug smile, and he shook the gloves on his hands: "It's all thanks to it, my father did it."

"Oh—" Katie exaggeratedly drew out her voice.

"Is it almost time to call it a day?"

"Let's go and have a good meal! I'll treat you." Kaidi put away the severed claws and said with a bright smile.

After completing the task together, the two came to a tavern and ordered some delicious barbecue, and the older Kaidi also ordered a small bottle of wine.Perhaps because of his father as a negative teaching material, Lance has never touched alcohol.

"I might go to Orchid College." Katie said suddenly.

Lance is burying his head in eating meat, magic is exhausting.Not only that, but anything could happen during the mission, they couldn't just stand and cast spells leisurely.

Hearing this, he raised his head in surprise: "Really?"

Kaidi nodded. He put down the tableware and said solemnly, "Lance, I want...to sponsor you to go to school, so that can be regarded as a companion. Would you like to?"

There was a strange expression on Lance's face: "Sponsor me? Have you suddenly become rich?"

The college's tuition fees are quite high. Like Lance, Kaidi, who is so poor that he can't even afford an apprentice-level magic skill book, actually wants to subsidize him to go to school?This is really unbelievable.

"Perhaps." Kaidi replied vaguely, his eyelids drooped, and his eyelashes cast a haze on his face.

"What about your family?" Lance asked hesitantly.

"Ah, it's resolved."

All the gold coins that Lance earned were spent on Frost Licorice, while Kaidi gave all of them to his family. He has a pair of parents who spend money like water and can always owe a debt.To put it bluntly, these two were troublemakers for "doing what they could" to trouble Katie.So the solution Kaidi said was...

Kai Di suddenly showed a self-deprecating expression and said: "Not long ago, they told me something, saying that I was not their own, and these years can be regarded as the end of the nurturing grace, so I don't need to worry about them anymore."

Lance: "..."

"Never mind this, are you going or not? Let's go together?" Kaidi looked at Lance and asked earnestly.

Lance was still puzzled by what he said, although Caddy only conveyed it in a few words, it must have been not a pleasant experience.But since he didn't want to explain any more, Lance didn't ask any more.

"It just so happens that I also have something to say."

"Ok?"

"I'm also planning to go to Orchid Academy to learn magic."

Kaidi was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "What a coincidence? But where did you get the tuition?" The two of them have been dating for a long time and often do tasks together, and Kaidi is also quite clear about Lance's financial situation.

"My father said he'd figure it out," Lance said, taking a bite from his plate.

"Oh...that father of yours."

"Ah."

Kaidi raised her eyebrows: "I really don't know where your confidence comes from."

Lance just laughed. Although Ender didn't say what to do, Lance just trusted him.

"I really envy you." Katie, who complained about Lance's father from time to time, said suddenly. He lowered his head and covered his expression.

Lance froze for a moment, then stretched out his hand and scratched his head. Kaidi had long blue hair.

They also have unreliable family members, but their circumstances are very different.Lance and Ander have a very good relationship, and Katie, his parents used to just keep asking him for gold coins, but since they are his own family, Katie never refused even once, even though they have actually grown up. burdened him.And now...

"What happened? Katie." Lance asked in a low voice, it was time to ask.

Kaidi wiped her face, but when she moved her hand away, she showed Lance a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I don't want to say it now, I will tell you later."

After Lance completed this task, he spent more than half a month working on other tasks.There are still about two months before the start of the next semester of Orchid College, and he wants to earn more gold coins now.Although Ender said that he was here to settle the tuition fee, Lance couldn't be completely relieved because of this, there were many other things that needed money, in short, the more gold coins, the better.Moreover, it is impossible for him to put all the burden on his father.

It wasn't until the mission was over that he said goodbye to Kaidi and set off for home.And Kaidi claimed that he had something to deal with, and made an appointment with Lance to see you after school started.

Lance returned to the town. Before he got home, someone in the town told him that a guy with a sword had been waiting near his house for many days.

"Who are you?" Lance asked vigilantly, ready to cast magic at any time.

"You are Mr. Ander's adopted son, Master Lance?" The man was wearing a suit of exquisite armor, which shone with metallic luster under the sunlight. He was a warrior.

Lance looked him up and down suspiciously, and said, "I'm Lance, not some young master."

"I'm waiting for you here on the orders of the Duke of West. Didn't your adoptive father, Mr. Ander, write you a letter to tell you about this?" Mr. Warrior, who was wearing dazzling armor, also asked with some doubts.

"Letter? Didn't receive it." Lance subconsciously touched the bamboo messenger tube hanging on his waist.

He lived to be 14 years old, and it was the first time he heard someone speak to him in such a solemn tone, and called him "you" repeatedly.In addition to not being used to it, I also feel a little inexplicable, this thing is too strange.Even though Ender used to be West, after all, he was expelled by the family. After living in this small town for so long, he has never seen anyone take care of him. This is enough to see the attitude of the West family.

"I've been waiting here for almost ten days." Mr. Warrior said helplessly.

The so-called letters between magicians are usually delivered by messenger bamboo tubes.Every magician can receive a bamboo messenger tube for free when they register for the first time. The miniature teleportation array is printed on the tube through some special methods, which can be used to deliver letters, and can be received no matter how far away.

A total of five miniature teleportation arrays can be imprinted on one bamboo tube, and each miniature teleportation array corresponds to a recipient.The bamboo tube was marked with a magic seal by the magician himself, and it could only be used by himself.In addition, a magician can have multiple messenger bamboo tubes, and additional ones need to be purchased by themselves.

It is worth mentioning that only special letter paper can be used for transmission. Ordinary paper is not acceptable, and special letter paper is very expensive. You can only buy two for one gold coin. Like throwing gold coins.

There are three miniature teleportation arrays engraved on Lance's bamboo tube, one is the letter processing center of the Magician's Temple, one is his father Ander's, and the last one is Caddy's.

He doubted whether Ender would be willing to spend half a gold coin to send himself a letter... Lance thought that maybe he would be more willing to exchange the money for a little drink.

Just when he was secretly cursing, the bamboo tube around his waist began to vibrate slightly, and the tube body emitted a soft white light.

Lance was stunned for a moment, and took out a small roll of letter paper inside. The letter was written by Ender.

He said that he was at the Westbourne mansion in Maiman City, and asked him to pack his luggage and follow Mike to pick him up to Maiman City. You don't need to bring quilts and clothes, they are all here.He also emphasized that the letter was written a little late, so Lance should hurry up, and Mike, who was going to pick him up, might be in a hurry...

Lance glanced at the big man with a huge sword standing beside him. He must be the "Mike" mentioned in the letter, but he still couldn't get around the corner.

"Is there anything you need to pack? I'll help you tidy it up. The carriage is parked at the hotel, and we'll leave when you're ready." Seeing that the matter seemed to have been resolved, Mike said to the bewildered boy.

"There's nothing to clean up." Lance looked around and said, "But I still need to make some potions, so let's go after I'm done."

Mike nodded without asking any more questions.

There is still one magic-eliminating potion that was configured last time, and the next magic riot is coming soon.I don't know what will happen when I go out this time, Lance is going to make two more potions just in case.Fortunately, before he returned to the town, he had already bought a few plants of Frost Licorice with the gold coins on hand, and there were still other materials left, so he could configure them directly.

That day Lance followed Mike to the hotel in the town.

It wasn't the first time he saw a luxurious carriage, but it was the first time he rode it.The soft and hard seats, the spacious compartment, and some fruits and snacks are prepared for him to enjoy, which made Lance, a "boy from the country", very uncomfortable for a while.

There were even several sets of exquisite mage robes prepared for him to change into in the car, each with a different style, and the clothes that had accompanied him for a long time had already been replaced.Mike even hinted that his clothes could be thrown away, but a cautious Lance put them in the package anyway.

The carriage carried Lance out of the town, passed through the streets of Scorching Wind City, and headed for Maiman City.
