the last magic noble

Chapter 3 The Disappearing Noble

After the impulsive yelling just now, I was extremely embarrassed and stayed on the spot, at a loss.

It was the "hateful" nobleman who had been mocking me, but he took the initiative to greet me: "Okay, Hummer Corinan, it's my fault, let's sit down."

I followed Laura Hurley and the fair-haired lady to the table at Holmead College.As soon as I sat down, a glass of beer appeared in front of me.I picked it up and smelled it. Is this beer from Baker's house?Could it be that the Baker family's business has come here?I was puzzled.

"So you're an alcoholic." Laura teased me as she saw the beer glass in front of me.

I quickly defended: "No, no, Miss Laura, I don't know why, this glass of wine appeared in front of me."

Laura laughed and waved and said, "This auditorium is the most wonderful place in the entire Merlin Academy. When there was no Merlin Academy, it was said that this was the place where Merlin and King Arthur held a celebration banquet. So that all the heroes who participated in the celebration banquet can eat their favorite things."

"So this beer is your favorite drink?" The blond nobleman's hostility eased a lot.

"Yesterday, I drank beer with my uncle for the first time, and it was also the last time I drank beer with my uncle." My eyes gradually dimmed. Uncle's chest pierced by the air knife, the big drops of red dripping on my face The blood still swirls in my head.

Thinking of this, I silently picked up the beer glass and took a sip of the wine. It really tasted like Baker's.

At this moment, the little blond nobleman suddenly reached out his hand in front of me, and said sincerely: "My name is Wen De Seth, and I am also a freshman this year. I am sorry for treating you like that before, please accept my apology."

Still tearing at me with the horrible memories of last night, I shook Wend's hand dumbly.

Then, just as he was about to be in a daze, the bell-like voice sounded again: "Dear colleagues and friends, please allow me to take a few minutes of your precious time to complete the traditional ceremony of our Merlin Academy - magic baptism." The noisy auditorium was instantly quiet down.

"Who is this?" Pulled back from my memory, I asked Laura and Wend curiously.

Laura said: "This is the welcome ceremony of Merlin College, and it is also a place to show your magical talents. Every new student will receive the baptism of pure magical energy. At the same time, your magical tendencies and talents will also be displayed during the baptism."

I nodded with half understanding, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Do you both know magic?"

"Yes." The two answered in unison, then looked at me like a fool, and asked, "Don't you know?"

I shook my head. As long as I can remember, I lived with Uncle Laine, and the days were plain but fulfilling.As for the so-called magical talent, he really didn't show anything.

I tried to remember it, and shook my head again.

Wend and Laura looked at each other, and both looked at me sympathetically.

I asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Laura looked around and said in a low voice: "If you don't show your magical talent at the magic baptism, you will still be sent home after the welcome party and leave Merlin College."

After listening to Laura's words, I looked at Wende again, and Wende nodded sympathetically.

Thinking of what happened in the past two days, I seemed to suddenly look away, and I smiled and said: "It's okay. I can still inherit my uncle's grocery store and continue to do my uncle's work when I go home. I didn't know about Merlin College. This place. It’s an eye-opener for me.”

After hearing this, Laura comforted me and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. I heard that none of the students invited by Merlin College has no magical talent."

"There is one." Just about to nod, I was attracted by Wende's words.Just as they were about to ask who it was, they heard that the Knights had collectively raised their wine glasses, knocked on the table rhythmically in unison, and let out a low roar of "ha, ha".

Seeing me looking at them, Alan Steele excitedly raised his wine glass at me and yelled louder.The short man tried his best to raise his wine glass among a group of tall knights for me to see. The sight made me happy and the corners of my mouth turned up.

"Quiet!" The old man on the stage signaled everyone in the auditorium to be quiet, and then said: "Now, let us invite the well-respected director of Holmed College, Will Hermed, to perform a magic baptism for the new students !” Following the old man’s line of sight, the old man in gray robe who was talking to me cordially outside the door got up from behind the dining table on the stage and walked slowly to the front of the stage.

"I met this person at the gate of the college. He is our dean?" I touched Laura's arm.Laura nodded impatiently, and told me to continue watching in silence.

I closed my mouth wisely and continued watching with great interest.This is much better than the circus that the mayor invites to perform magic tricks in Inverness every winter during the fireworks festival.

No, how can magic be compared to magic.

Dean Weir nodded and said, "Thank you, Principal Il Sely." It turned out that the old man who spoke was the principal of Merlin College, Il Sely.Then, Dean Weir began to pick up the roster on the podium and said: "This year, we are honored to invite 54 freshmen with amazing magical talents to study at Holmead College. This is where you can display your talents. For many of you, this may be the place where you will work and live for the rest of your life. On behalf of the Holmed Academy and the Holmed family, I would like to welcome you to the world of magic."

As he said that, Dean Wei raised his left hand, and a light blue mist-like thing appeared in his hand, like water flow, or dyed air, and a bit like the blueberry pudding made by Aunt Sisson next door to his uncle's house.

"Then, children, please don't worry, this is pure magical energy that can show your magical tendencies, and it won't turn you into goblins." The freshmen in the auditorium burst into laughter after hearing this.

I was confused, Wende said: "This is a traditional proverb in the magic world, used to teach children to be obedient, otherwise pure magic will turn disobedient children into ugly goblins."

I nodded, isn't this the same as Granny Yaga who scares children in some places?

Although I have never met Granny Yaga, she must not be as evil as the blueberry pudding in front of me, ah no, it is pure magical energy and cute.

Just as he was thinking, a student had already been ordered to go on stage.After taking the stage, the boy named Sisko sat on an ancient chair. Dean Weil slowly turned his palm over, and the ball of blue pudding slowly fell on him, and then became like conscious air It also enveloped his whole body, and in the blink of an eye, this group of blue energy began to flash with golden light.

Dean Weier announced loudly: "Mr. Sisko, golden magic tendencies! Manipulate the power of magical metals!"

Sisko ran off the stage excitedly, shouting as he ran: "I'm the same as my grandpa! I won't be turned into a frog by my grandma!" The audience laughed at him like a fool.He also realized that he was too excited, blushing and lowered his head to eat the baguette with yogurt in front of him.

In this way, each student took turns to take the stage, was baptized by blue pudding, and his body flashed the same golden color as Sisko, so the student's inclination is the metal ability, or the flame red, that is, the ability to manipulate the flame.

"Miss Winder Seth." Dean Weir shouted loudly, and then the little blond-haired nobleman stood up from beside me and walked slowly onto the stage.After taking the stage, the male students in the audience exclaimed "so beautiful", "beautiful", "so beautiful, the lover of my dreams".

Wende seemed to enjoy the man's compliment, walked confidently to the chair, and sat gracefully on that chair.

With the flow of magic energy, a wisp of white slowly appeared in the blue, swimming in the blue energy like mist.Dean Weier's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded with interest.

After an unknown amount of time, Dean Weir announced loudly: "Miss Winder Seth. The elf whose magic is inclined to the wind, the child who dances with the air!!" There was another surprise.Even Laura opened her mouth in surprise.

I asked, "You don't think she's beautiful just now, do you?"

"What are you talking about? I'm surprised that she can manipulate the air." Laura gave me a disdainful look.

"Is the ability to manipulate the air rare?" As soon as I said that, I knew how stupid I was.The descendants of these magical families would not be so surprised, if not rare.

Seeing how ashamed I looked, Laura sighed and said, "The lady told you that until now, except for the legendary Archmage Merlin who can simultaneously manipulate all four magic elements of gold, fire, water, and wind , Few people can manipulate the wind element. Now there are only two people known, one is Dean Weir, and the other is Ness Strong, here, the one sitting next to my father in King's College."

Following Laura's instructions, I saw a young man with the same blond hair sitting next to Dale Hurley talking with Dale Hurley, and Dale Hurley was obviously more gentle towards him.

"Miss Laura Hurley." Dean Will finally called Laura to the stage.After she came to the stage, she took a deep breath and sat down on the chair.While waiting for the magic energy to cover my whole body, I found that the eldest lady of the Hurley family was holding the corner of her clothes tightly.

The blue magic energy slowly enveloped Laura's body, constantly changing its shape, like a jumping pudding, yes, a jumping pudding.

"The purest power in the universe, the ability to embrace all things, Laura Hurley, the elf who fiddles with the water!" As Dean Weir announced loudly, Laura let go of the crumpled corners of her clothes.She cast a cold look at her father, then ran back to her seat and sat down.

"The last freshman of the day and the latest student to arrive at the school. Mr. Hummer Corinan." Hearing my full last name for the first time, I felt awkward.

As I got up and walked onto the stage, there were whispers behind me.

"The survivors of the Collinan family?" "Didn't they all die back then?" "I heard from my father that the Collinan family died strangely, maybe they were killed by him."

I numbly walked onto the stage, looked at the deathly silence below the stage, and remained motionless.Until a warm palm was placed on my shoulder, I looked back, and Dean Weir led me kindly, walked to the chair and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, I felt a strange feeling running through my body.It seemed that an animal that had been sleeping somewhere in my body was gradually waking up, beating my nerves, followed by a burst of needle-like pain.

Dean Weier seemed to see my discomfort and asked, "Humer, what's wrong?"

I shook my head, indicating to Dean Weil that I can still persist.

I closed my eyes and waited for the magical energy to fill my body.After a long time, I saw that there was still no movement. I opened my eyes and saw that my whole body was enveloped by magical energy. However, this mass of energy didn't seem to change at all, it just stayed quietly around my body.

There was another whisper below, "It's still the Collinan family, they don't even have magic talent." "That's right, I thought the Collinan family was such a genius." myself."

There was constant ridicule and ridicule in the audience, and I saw Laura and Wende's faces were serious.At this moment, I feel extremely relaxed. Originally, I had no contact with the magical world. Now I can go back to inherit my uncle’s grocery store, send two bouquets of flowers to my uncle every spring, and be able to stay with him all the time. Maybe it’s because of my own hard work. Marry a daughter-in-law again, and thinking of a daughter-in-law, Laura's face unexpectedly emerges in my mind. . .Suddenly, a sharp gaze stabbed at me. As expected, it was Dale Hurley.

I also looked at him with a generous attitude. Anyway, this was the last time I looked at him. In his eyes, I actually saw a trace of regret and anger like a father who hates iron and steel.

I looked back at Dean Weier. This kind old man's face was still calm, but there seemed to be a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

After a while, Dean Weir raised his left hand and stretched it out to the top of my head. I knew that the magical energy on my body would not respond for a long time, so I might as well withdraw it quickly.

I closed my eyes, ready to accept the sting that I didn't know when to hit.

But Dean Weir did not act for a long time.When I looked up, Dean Weier was sweating profusely. When I looked again, the blue magic energy seemed to be stuck to me, motionless.

Dale Hurley opened his eyes wide, while I panicked, trying to reach out to break free from this blue bubble, but this bubble seems to have a mind, and can always guess my next move, binding me tightly.

Dean Wei stopped suddenly, and I saw the flashing gold, red and white colors in his eyes.He wiped the sweat from his brow.There seemed to be long-lost excitement on his face.

The students in the audience were also exclaimed. At this time, Laura pointed at me. I looked down and saw that gold, red and white were intertwined in the blue bubbles, constantly entangled and drifted away.

I have never seen such a scene before, looking around in fear, Dean Wei gently pressed my shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "The orphan of the Corinan family, the child of Xi Wei Corinan, the child of Merlin's magic power The heir! The vanished nobleman!"

As soon as the words fell, the blue bubbles on my body were slowly withdrawn by Dean Weier.Dean Weier still patted my shoulder and said in a trembling voice: "My good boy, your father's talent and life were not in vain. I believe you will be able to revitalize the Corinan family."

After I stepped off the stage, I sat back next to Laura under the surprised, envious, and even jealous eyes of other students. Her mouth was still open.

I looked at Wende Seth, she was able to pretend to be calm.I said, "Can any of you tell me what's going on?"

Wende looked at me, and after a long time, he said: "I only know that according to legend, Archmage Merlin can manipulate all four elemental forces. Later, in order to balance the balance of elemental forces in the world, the power of Archmage Merlin to manipulate water elements was separated separately. out, to be succeeded by his descendants - the Hurleys, the only known descendants of Archmage Merlin."

"Then what's going on with Merlin's three magic powers?" I asked anxiously, at this moment I was still in shock from the roller coaster-like changes just now.

"I only know that mages have their own inclinations, and this elemental inclination is the only one. In the magical world, Gaines Corinan, the ancestor of your Corinan family, and you are the only ones who can manipulate the power of the three elements at the same time. The deceased father, Sylvie Kollinan." After Wende finished speaking, before I had time to continue asking, Principal Il Sely had already announced the start of the welcoming party loudly.

With the waving of his robe sleeves, everyone at each table had their favorite food in front of them.

But I have no appetite at all, because I, the "disappearing nobleman" in the mouth of Dean Weier, has become the subject of most people's discussion.
