wandering fairy

Looking up, every household, every door panel, window and even every eaves of the orderly four or five-story buildings on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and festoons, covered with decorative items of different colors and beautiful shapes.On some streets, small flags were planted on both sides of the road, and banners or colored flags were raised above the streets, as if to welcome the arrival of a great king.

On some eaves there are brilliant magic lamps the size of heads, which are continuously emitting beautiful soft light like a rainbow; on some doors and windows, there are a pair of illusion pictures, which display rows of words: Our pride, Keshawei .There is a teddy bear hanging on some doors and windows, and there is a monotonous spell sound: "Warmly welcome the return of the genius Kaishawei! Kaishawei, you are our idol" and even "Kaishawei , Kaishawei, we love you" and other nasty words.It's just that these words of praise or flattery sound real after being processed by illusion, but they lack enough emotional appeal.

The beautiful sound of wind chimes came from the eaves of a building. Dongzi looked up, and saw a wind chime exuding magical breath swaying slightly in the morning breeze, making a refreshing ding-dong sound like music, like a cool spring caressing The small stones in the mountains make pleasant and pleasant sounds, and it is like the wind of joy following the wind chimes to express their little happiness.

To Dongzi, only this sound was the most moving.

When she came to Daniela's small three-story mansion, she was doing some simple arcane experiments to pass the boring time.Most mages are not used to being directly probed by others, so Dongzi had to use the method of pulse signal to passively check the physical condition of her and the fetus.After finishing, he asked: "Have you been depressed recently? This is not good for the fetus."

Daniela suddenly asked with a gloomy expression: "Pastor Alilu, how will a woman like me spend the rest of her life after being protected? I feel ashamed as soon as I walk out now. Those people on the street looked at me strangely. I, this kind of life without dignity, I really can't bear it anymore."

Dongzi thought for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Then let me ask you, if it's not Bain Harley who takes care of you but a young, handsome, rich high-ranking mage, such as that genius mage Keshawei, what kind of psychological pressure will you have? Will it be this big? Answer me honestly."

Daniela froze for a moment, then replied with some hesitation: "Maybe it won't be that big."

Dongzi asked step by step: "Then do you still have a little bit of secret joy in your heart? You have to answer this honestly. Put yourself in your shoes and imagine carefully."

Daniela knew that priests were in a "zone of honesty" and it was useless to lie to them.So after thinking about it seriously, he replied honestly: "Maybe maybe."

Dongzi chased after him and said: "If at this time, those people look at you with strange eyes again, will you feel ashamed? Or will you feel a little proud? Proud that you are favored by a young talent? See Da Ni La was a little at a loss, but Dongzi still didn't let go: "Don't cover up!To tell the truth! "

Daniela sighed, and said helplessly, "Maybe I don't know either."

Dongzi slapped his hands and said with a smile: "Look. Your real heart knot is not being taken care of by someone, but being taken care of by an old man. You think Bernhard is too old! Otherwise, what kind of Kaisha will take care of you? Wei. You will feel ashamed as well!" Seeing Daniela, she was a little terrified.Dongzi comforted: "Okay, okay, I won't tell Bainhale what's on your mind."

But Daniela suddenly lowered her head and asked in a low voice as if she had no face to face anyone: "Do you think a woman like me is very low?" It was like the faint hum of a flying mosquito.

Dongzi said slowly: "If you look at it purely by the world's ethical standards, it is indeed low! It's just that I generally don't use the world's evaluation standards. So for me personally, it doesn't matter whether it's cheap or not!"

Daniela raised her head slightly in surprise, and summoned up her courage to ask again: "Then judging by your standards, is my mentality good or bad?"

Dongzi smiled slightly and said: "Good and bad are just a label for evaluation. Different standards have different good and bad. My standard is the standard of a doctor. In my opinion, your current mentality is not conducive to the fetus. So It's bad! As for worldly standards, I rarely use them because I don't live for others."

Daniela was stunned: "Didn't you live for others?"

Dongzi nodded and said: "All kinds of secular standards are the wills and needs of countless people. After fierce confrontation, the remaining part is attached to the society and becomes the ethical standard recognized by some people. In other words, it is The standards of others are not my standards. And I am not living for others, so why should I completely obey others' standards? I am not the slave of everyone, and I don't need to obey the will of everyone!" See Daniela like He continued to say: "Your life is yours, not someone else's. The will of others can be used as a reference, but you can't follow it blindly. Because other people's wills are also diverse. If you want to gain respect If you follow blindly, you will find that you can’t satisfy so many will requirements, and even every step you take is wrong! In the end, you will become a walking dead who is at a loss.”

Daniela took a deep breath, seeming to realize something.

At this moment, Bernharley's voice came from outside: "Da Nila, my little baby, I have something to do today so I'm late."

Bernhari warmly hugged Daniela, but Daniela's expression was a little unnatural, and she returned it stiffly.But this move has already made Bain Harley laugh heartily, as if he intends to show his affection in front of Dongzi.

Then Dongzi smiled and asked Bain Harley: "What's going on today? Is there another big business?"

Bainharley sat down and took a breath and said: "I don't have a single copper coin. It's more tiring than studying arcane arts." He took the tea from Daniela and took the opportunity to reluctantly After touching her elastic and plump silky little hands.He continued: "Cruth's son Keshawei will be back the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that the Duke celebrates his birthday today, and some mages were invited to the banquet. There is a shortage of manpower in the Arcane Academy, so let me help with it. .”

Dongzi also took the tea, and asked curiously: "What kind of big man is that Keshawei? I see that the streets outside are decorated with lights and festoons like a grand festival. Even if the king comes, it may not be such an honor, right?" .”

Bainharley sneered and said: "What is a king? The king of a big country will give some courtesy when he comes, but the king of a small country is not a fart! They will be trembling when they enter Giffen City, so what courtesy should they give? They will be happy to death. As for Kaishawei, he is a rare arcane genius. He is 34 years old today, but he has already mastered two eighth-level arcane arts, which is more than ten times stronger than my old bone. Supreme mage Cruz is going to use He was trained to be his successor. He was sent to the Three Towers Demon Ring Association to learn arcane arts. One was to broaden his horizons, and he also wanted to get in touch with the Three Towers Association. You also know, the arcane arts in the northeast The Federation has long been displeased with our Giffen City. They have a long history and great influence, and they are not a place for mage cities like ours that have been established for less than a hundred years. We must find an ally. This time they may bring the Three Towers Society news and even some characters, so it’s very important.”

Dongzi slowly sips the tea.One side asked: "Since such an important person is coming back, why didn't those mages seriously prepare for the celebration in their own city, but ran to the Duke to join in the fun at such an urgent moment? Was it approved by Mage Cruz?"

Bainharley shook his head and said, "Master Cruz neither approved nor objected. Those mages have flirted with the Duke of Sauers for a long time, and even secretly defended that silly Duke several times. This made Master Cruz very annoyed. It’s just that it’s not easy to have a seizure. It’s good if they go this time, just to let Master Cruz see how many people are dealing with this fool who likes to put a feast.”

Dongzi raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile, "Cleaning up?"

Bernhard smiled mysteriously: "I never said that. Although Teacher Crew has a very good relationship with me, he never said it." Then he changed the subject and said: "Last time you said that there is This book on health preservation is going to be given to me. Have you finished writing it now?"

Dongzi took out a book and said, "I just finished writing it. Please read it carefully. This book is very helpful to the elderly."

Bernhard took a look.There is a row of very awkward names written on it in the common language--"Book of Praise for the Three Cores of Extending Life" He read it for a long time before he read it fluently, so he asked with a smile: "Do you have any books about the God of Air Elements?" Is it such a weird name?"

Dongzi smiled helplessly.Because he really couldn't find a good name to express the meaning of "Sanyuan Yanshou Counselor Letter".

When noon was approaching, "Priest Alilu" wanted to leave, but Bernhard and Daniela couldn't keep him, so they had to send him a long way.After lunch, Bernhari reluctantly bid farewell to Daniela, and rushed back to the Arcane Academy to deal with the remaining matters.

Intensive decoration activities are also going on in the academy. At the gate, several mages who are good at illusion are instructing seven or eight students to install a five-person-high arched magic device.It is estimated that it is used to display some flattering colorful words.After entering inside, Bainharley was very satisfied to see that the students who were usually carefree and dressed strangely finally put on mage robes with uniform styles and colors in line with class divisions.All of them wore tall mage hats—usually, these students always complained that such big hats would cause lice in their hair, and they used this as an excuse to wear businessman hats for their own convenience. do business.

Now these little guys are neatly dressed and their colors are conspicuous, and they are finally more energetic.Bainhari smiled and walked towards the small building in Navia. This young middle-level mage went to nowhere and disappeared for several days.

Arriving under the simple four-story building in Navia, Bainhale keenly felt that several powerful protective spells were monitoring and protecting the blue-gray building. He saw that all the doors and windows were tightly closed, and even With the curtains drawn, it was like a prison.While knocking on the door, Bernhari called Navia's name loudly, telling him to come out quickly to participate in the preparations for welcoming Keshawei.

But the hand that hit him hurts, and there is no reaction inside.Bainharley said to himself: "Could it be that you have traveled far away? Then why don't you ask for a vacation? Leave a note on the door alive? Today's young people really don't understand etiquette at all. Next time I see Cruz We must talk about it sometime. We must strengthen the etiquette education of the students, so as not to lose our face in front of those nobles.” While talking to himself, he suddenly saw a letter stuck in the small mailbox at the door.He pulled it out curiously, and it was written in elegant handwriting, "Navia, there are some things I can only tell you in this letter."

Bain Harley chuckled: That female mage is obsessed with this kid again.Seeing that the date above was written yesterday, it was not collected today, and Navia probably left the house.He is also really, why go out at such an important juncture?

Navia's room was pitch black, and there was a rotten stench in the room without a ray of sunlight, "squirming" around like a living thing.If it weren't for the prohibition of various arcane arts.These disgusting breaths have long since dispersed outside the house; they have gone far away.

In the core of the large empty room, a large magic circle with a width of more than 10 feet (about 3 or 4 meters) on the floor is being maintained by the three Navia people with all their strength.Their eyes were black and blue, and their expressions were exhausted, as if they hadn't rested for days.The dense mantra carefully flowed out from their mouths.At the same time, their fingers changed meticulously, carefully mobilizing the arcane energy stored in the magic equipment beside them.Slowly "fitting" into the magic circle.Just like three children carefully building a huge building block castle, as long as a wrong building block part is placed, the "castle" that has been accumulated so hard will collapse!

They kept squeezing the little energy left in their bodies to ensure that the entire combination process was correct.After a few hours, the magic circle on the ground began to receive the vast power of the demon land, and started to operate by itself!

Phase [-] is finally complete!

Navia, who was wearing a golden mage's robe, turned pale instantly, her hands and feet were cold, and her body, which had been exhausted for several days, finally couldn't support it, and she fell to the ground.I just felt dizzy, and the whole room seemed to be shaking.He hurriedly took out a bottle of precious medicine.into the throat.After the extremely strange-tasting medicinal liquid flowed into the stomach.The body gradually warmed up, and the degree of dizziness began to weaken.At least he could stand up unsteadily.The other two also seemed to be seriously ill, pouring medicine down their throats.

Navia, who was still exhausted, took a few breaths and said, "Take a rest. After eating something, we will start the second stage of summoning." Then he turned and went out to bring some simple bread, biscuits and fruits.

Another mage said dissatisfiedly: "I want to eat ham! This kind of thing consumes too much energy. If you don't replenish it, how can you summon it with peace of mind?"

Navia said even more dissatisfied: "You have eaten up all the meat here! I haven't tasted a piece of meat for several days! Now you have to bear it at the last moment!"

The sorcerer was still dissatisfied and said: "If I knew I was so tired, I wouldn't do it! I'm so exhausted that I don't even have any meat to eat. If something goes wrong later, I don't have the energy to fix it!"

The atmosphere became tense. Navia hated someone threatening him with such a crucial matter, so he glared fiercely at the mage, and shouted fiercely: "If something goes wrong, we will all be finished! None of us can escape !"

The mage also fought back without showing any weakness: "Why are you so fierce? Are we helping you, or are you helping us? At worst, I won't do it! You are going to summon."

The flames of anger burned between the two, and the third mage hurriedly stood up staggeringly to smooth things over: "Okay, okay. Everyone has been tired for several nights and has not closed their eyes for the past few days. The anger is relatively high. Things are going on. At the end, stop arguing, otherwise all the previous hard work will be in vain! We have blessed enough spells for this magic circle, and we will definitely be able to suppress the demons. Don't worry about unnecessary worries, just complete You can make a lot of money doing this.”

The mage waved his hands and shouted: "I would rather not earn this money! His attitude is so annoying! The pupils of Navia's fierce eyes shrank like a hungry beast, and his murderous heart suddenly rose! But this matter is related to His own reputation, related to his future, related to the happy life with Ivana, absolutely must not be lost. So he insidiously suppressed the murderous heart, deliberately put on a helpless and depressed face and said: "Okay, It is my fault.Or I'll give you 00 gold coins each. "

Under the temptation of money and the persuasion of the third mage, the mage finally let go.After a simple meal, the three of them started the final work.

In the sky outside the building, the sun has already fallen into the vast mountains, taking away the last faint light.

The castle complex of the Duke of Sauers is also decorated with lights and festoons. All kinds of shiny magic props decorate the entire vast castle complex as if you are in a colorful starry sky!These castles, surrounded by brilliant lights up and down, seem to bestow all the happiness in the world to the people in them.

The flower-shaped colorful magic lights on the ground are placed on both sides of the avenue, like the fantasy night of the fairy kingdom; the large magic lamps hanging on the high eaves flicker slightly in the distant mid-air, like thousands of stars surrounding the majestic towers. A majestic castle; and above the head, a huge magic rainbow composed of illusions spans the east and west sides of the castle complex, like a gorgeous arched bridge that sprinkles beautiful and moving colorful brilliance from the bridge, and gently flies down on the sky. On the castle, it was as if the brilliance of heaven was watching over this majestic secular core. In the magnificent and well-organized main castle of the Duke, everyone's faces were also full of relaxed and happy expressions.Their smiling faces are especially friendly under the bright and soft giant chandeliers.

The mages wearing tall pointed hats let go of their usual arrogance, and the priests wearing solemn sacrificial robes also let go of their tense and serious faces. Everyone toasted each other.Servants in gorgeous costumes push all kinds of wine, snacks, and tableware through it, delivering the most meticulous and thoughtful service to each guest.

There are also a few warriors wearing leather armor and holding various strange weapons, but they are not looked at by everyone, because everyone knows that any guest invited by the hospitable Duke Sauer He is a polite person.And they have heard long ago that these warriors are the famous school inherited in the aristocratic circle - the Steel Heart Flow, one of the highest martial arts.

Although the attire in armor and soldiers does not match the festive ones, they are all genuine nobles.Moreover, Steel Heart Flow is also very strict on etiquette norms and ethics education.Far from being comparable to those vulgar and obscene warriors.

Sure enough, these people showed a very high level of accomplishment, and an old warrior even played a soothing and beautiful piano for everyone, which immediately won everyone's applause.Especially the high-level priests of the Mother Earth, who were wearing golden and black sacrificial robes, stepped forward to pay their respects, and seized the opportunity to establish a relationship with them.As a neutral and kind Church of the Mother Earth, what it lacks the most is violent allies like paladins.If you can form an ally with Steel Heart Flow, it will have very important benefits in terms of power and political interests.

The crowd began to surge towards these warriors with steel hearts, and the little nobles from all over the world also stepped forward to curry favor, and of course there were some who wanted to curry favor with the Church of the Mother Earth.And those noble ladies cast their fascinated eyes on the ten or so young warriors-their physiques are really perfect.
