Irena transformed back from a cat and pressed behind her senior brother, watching curiously as he tapped the white board with a clean stone. It looked like food, but she was not sure.

"It's a local custom. The dried freshwater fish is a specialty here. It has a unique taste and is a bit hard. The locals have the habit of using a mallet to knock it loose before eating. In the past, people were not very wealthy, so they used stones. .”

"Senior brother has been here before, right?"

"Well, I've been here a few times, but it was a long time ago...actually it wasn't that long, it was a very nostalgic past."

After going to many places, the specialty called Bang Bang fish is not particularly outstanding, but it gives you a taste.

He bought a lot because he thought the teacher would like it, and the lazy man could probably lie down with a piece of dried fish for a day.

After smashing the flute, the wand was ignited by the flame. The fluffy fish meat became softer at the right temperature, and the shell became a little crisper.

"Want to have a taste?"

"Uh-huh."

Since it is food approved by senior brother and made by his own hands, it seems that it is impossible not to eat it.

"Well, it tastes good."

Maybe after being a cat for a long time, Irena also likes fish.

"Ahead is the forest across the southeast. I will speed up in the afternoon, but I will probably have to spend the night in the forest tonight."

"I listen to my brother."

If she were alone, she would probably wait for a caravan, or go all the way down to the country by the sea. The risk of crossing the forest was too high, so only a skilled person like her senior brother would be bold.

……

The night rain is annoying.

Really annoying.

The reason was that Irena had a sudden idea and took out the tent she bought when she was innocent. Instead of looking for a cave, she camped in an empty mountainous area.

The two of them were lying in the tent, listening to the sound of the leaves blowing in the night wind. It was awesome, right?

It sounds so, but travelers should understand that traveling is like playing cards, there are always things that cannot be calculated.

--It's raining.

As a result, the two of them were unable to sleep due to the noise of the rain, and when the wind howled, they couldn't even hear the words spoken close at hand unless they got close.

"Crackling crackling..."

"Woo~ woo!"

The wind was so strong and the rain was so heavy. The wind in the mountains and forests seemed like someone was crying.

Xi Di remained seated and kept vigil. If he hadn't held the wand to hold the tent in place, they would have been soaked in water in several layers of fabric.

So, many things look beautiful.

"Sorry, senior brother." Irena came over guiltily, relying on her senior brother to feel at ease in such a night of howling ghosts and wolves.

"Peng Peng!"

The tent cloth was shaking in the strong wind, as if someone was flapping it.

Xidi didn't hear clearly and thought that the junior sister was a little scared. He thought about it, lay down and hugged the junior sister gently.

"It's okay, I'm here. I can open the silence barrier if necessary."

"No need, senior brother, being too quiet is scary."

She knew that her senior brother would not sleep, so she was still holding her wand on guard when she lay down. After thinking for a while, Irena turned into a cat and shrank into Xi Di's arms.

This way, I can chat with my senior brother without disturbing him.

"Meow meow."

"Good night."

Hidi pulled up the quilt, sat up, put the gray cat on her lap, and put the quilt on her. Irena sank into the soft quilt that had just been dried in the sun a while ago, and smelled the sweet fragrance that made her feel at ease.

Xidi could feel her higher body temperature, which was very warm, and she could also feel the beating of her heart.

"Ugh-"

The sound of the wind became louder and louder.

……

It rained all night.

A night without sleep is nothing to Hidi, when he needs it.

It has to be said that the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling makes people feel panicked. Xidi does not think of any gods and ghosts, but is worried that something will use such sounds to cover up the movement.

As a result, nothing happened.

The sound of wind and rain for a long time actually made him feel peaceful.

The transformation magic was released after Irena fell asleep. She originally thought that her sleep would be somewhat restless, but she didn't expect that she would still sleep deeply while holding him.

In the morning, I opened the curtains and felt the shivering wind blowing through. The hillside was covered with dead branches and leaves.

……

"Irena, I remembered that I have another commission. Let's meet in the country by the sea."

"Is it an urgent matter? I understand, senior brother, please be careful."

"I am leaving."

"Wait."

Irena came over, stood up on her tiptoes and kissed her senior brother on the cheek, then raised her face and waited.

"You~"

Xi Di returned the kiss, summoned the crutch, pressed the pink witch hat on her head, and disappeared into the sky after the rain.

……

"It's a little strange..."

Irena has not been completely turned into a useless person by her senior brother. She still reads magic books every day and is interested in less rigorous reasoning stories.

And her understanding of her senior brother allowed her to conclude that something was wrong with her senior brother without any need for evidence.

In the past, even when dealing with ferocious animals like giant foxes, senior fellow apprentices would not be so anxious that they would not have time to explain a few more words.

First rule out the possibility of meeting your old sweetheart.

Miss Irena's eyes sharpened and she began to think about this issue.

She is currently at the edge of the forest, with a village not far away.

……

Mr. Hattie will be 30 years old soon. So far, in the field of magic that he loves, it cannot be said that he has made no achievements. It can only be said that he has not even been able to enter.

In the past, he was nicknamed a nerd. He has read more than a thousand magic books so far. However, due to lack of talent and extremely poor magic control, many of them have not been put into practice so far and remain on paper.

Even so, Hattie is still immersed in the study of magic. He spends most of his time every year as a teaching assistant in the country by the sea, training batches of magicians whose talents far exceed his.

In college he is a teacher respected by students, but back home...

When my uncle, uncle and aunt came over, he was not even qualified to sit on a chair. He was running around bringing tea and water. He listened to the mother over there talking to them about what was wrong with not getting married when the child was older. He would later inherit hundreds of acres of land behind the village. , how can I do it without a queen?

Dad was sitting in the living room smoking a cigarette, and his words seemed to indicate something.

Hatty silently pretended not to hear, and began to miss his lovely students.

Finally, after the uncles finished chatting, Hattie sent people out with a smile and rubbed her hair.

"I really want to go back to teaching..."

"Excuse me, how can I get to the country by the sea from here?"

Being cared for along the way, the gray-haired traveler remembered that he had no map of the surrounding countries and was embarrassed to ask someone for directions. At a glance, he saw this middle-aged man who looked like a herbivore.

For some reason, based on past experience, Irena often attracts girls with good personalities when she is alone. If she talks to men, she will most likely meet scumbags.

Although I feel great every time I knock someone away, obviously that method of handling is not suitable when asking for directions.

When Hatty turned around and saw the straight and neat white hair, he had a vision at a certain moment, thinking of a serious and meticulous person until he lowered his head.

The short girl in front of me has blue eyes. She is beautiful but not kind.

He suddenly missed the assistant who once taught him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

During his travels, Hidi often missed his lover, his mentor, and the witch who saved him in the past.

Thinking of her neat and smooth black hair, with feather-like silkiness every time she touches it.

Thinking of the bitter aroma of herbs on her neck, it makes people want to take a deep sleep when sniffing it lightly.

Thinking of her lazy tone, because of the familiarity and tacit understanding, only half of the words are spoken, and the slightly upward ending sound always makes people care.

The longer we are apart, the more deeply we miss you.

But after establishing a relationship with Irena, there was always unspeakable guilt lingering in his heart. The heavy guilt made him unwilling to think about the teacher for a while, but there was no way to suppress thinking. The less able he was to think about it. The more I think about it, the more I want to miss it.

With this deceptive thinking, he got closer to this place day by day.

……

In the distance, the ancient and tall city wall in the past has been renovated. Without losing the sense of history, the heavy momentum is more prominent.

Xidi raised his head and glanced up. It was after his trip. He had been back two or three times in the past few years, and it still looked very novel.

"Is that a magician over there? If you want to ride a broom, please register here. In addition, please read this manual to understand the flight control of your country."

Each country has different requirements for entry. Such pamphlets are quite common, but Wang Li Celestilia's and Xi Di's have been in and out for so long. They didn't expect to have one, so they took it with a sense of novelty.

"Thank you." He handed over the candy.

The serious city guard shook his head, "I understand, it is our responsibility, we cannot accept it..."

"Your Excellency Xidi!"

Another soldier finished registering the others. When he looked up and saw the conspicuous white hair, he ran over excitedly. Hidi remembered this man. He first came to Wangli Celestilia ten years ago. At that time, he was the one who let him in. Now looking at his badge, he is also the squad leader.

"you are back!"

"Well, I just happened to be passing by and came back to see the teachers and the academy. How is the kingdom lately?"

"good, very good!"

He talked very enthusiastically about the changes in the kingdom over the years, the endless flow of caravans in the prosperous season, and the active good deeds of the magicians in the academy...

It wasn't until a new arrival appeared not far away that he bowed and hurried over.

Before leaving, he took the candy from Hidi.

During the break, the newcomer asked the captain.

"Is he the big shot above?"

"No, when I first met him, he was only up to my chest, not high at all."

The captain answered the question incorrectly.

"Hahahaha, just kidding. His name is rarely mentioned, but you should have heard of him. He is the vice-president of the Kingdom Academy of Magic. He cannot be said to be a 'big shot'. Well... I don't know much, so I can only say , that’s a very, very powerful person.”

The newcomer's eyes widened, "Deputy Vice President... His Excellency the Vice President!"

The captain patted the newcomer on the shoulder and gave him half of the candy.

"Well done. It's right not to accept things of unknown origin, but that person is an exception. I'll share these with you. They taste very good. I'm really lucky today. I'm going to take a walk in front of other people, haha..."

……

After entering the city, Xidi looked up at the magic lights floating in the sky. Many improved versions of the magic machines for taking pictures were everywhere. Magicians riding brooms were crisscrossing the city. It seemed disorderly, but in fact there were strange patterns. in it.

In the past, flight control was only implemented around academies with many magicians. Now it seems that there are more magicians in the entire country, and it is almost the size of a country of magicians.

Familiar places have strange changes, which are more novel than completely unfamiliar places. Xidi flipped through the booklet in his hand. It mentioned the specific punishments for violating the rules. Depending on the severity of the case, they ranged from verbal education, fines, to detention. .

The vice-president of the Kingdom Academy of Magic used his broom to cause trouble. He did not want to be famous for this method.
