199. About friendship
The bright sunshine made the whole room warm. A bunch of yellow tulips were inserted into the glass bottle on the bedside table, and the breeze blew the white gauze curtains. The room was in a very good location. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you could see the clear blue waves of Weiyang Lake that could not be seen at a glance. Katerina stood on the terrace and looked into Weiyang Lake. Her eyes were chasing a big fish in the lake.
I was lying on the big bed made of white birch in the room. Princess Shaelli and Sophie were sitting on the round stool beside the bed. They held hands and looked so close. Sophie was wearing a light pink long skirt, which looked so pretty, while Princess Sha was wearing a palace long skirt and a pair of pure white gauze gloves, revealing a piece of pink lotus-like arm.
The two of them came over to apologize to me, mainly because Princess Sha needed to apologize to me, and Sophie came with her.
The two of them brought some flowers, fruits and full of sincerity. Princess Sha Alice put her posture very low. She didn't even use the maid to help her carry the fruit basket, but carried it to the room with her own hands. After entering the room, she kept apologizing, and Sophie was still next to her to ease our slightly awkward atmosphere.
Well, what else can I say besides the word ‘forgive’?
Sophie and Moraya are close friends. She just asked me about Moraya's recent situation. In fact, I haven't received her letter for a while, and it seems that she went to the wild swamp to take risks. Sophie was still a little unacceptable to me for advancement to a level 8 magician.
In that spring four years ago, when she first met me, I was just a magic apprentice in the magic pool in the awakening. Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and time has not left any trace on Sophie's face, but it has made me an eighth-level magician at the time. It is only one level away from Sophie. It seems that Sophie has not made any progress in magic in the past three years.
I can't even imagine how Sophie successfully graduated from the Royal Magic Academy. You must know that when she graduated, her magic level had just reached level 4. It is still very difficult for a magician of this level to successfully graduate from the Royal Magic Academy. At least a very courageous magic tutor needs to sign her graduation certificate.
I was lying on the bed, my head still ached a little.
Until now, I haven't figured out who threw me on the wall, but I can be sure that that is definitely not Sha. Maybe it was the guard who hid in the dark to protect Duke Jingyue. I wanted to ask Su, but after Katerina said that something seemed to have happened in the Campbell Nursing Home, so Su rushed to the nursing home to deal with the matter.
But Katerina was not present at that time, and Princess Sha took all the responsibility. It was not convenient for me to continue asking questions, which made people feel that I had never let go of this matter.
Sophie peeled a golden apple and handed it to me, and said to me: These golden apples were airlifted from Sloyd Province by magic airships, which were particularly sweet.
Actually, I really want to tell her that not everyone in El likes to eat golden apples. I don’t like golden apples, nor do I like apple sauce and apple pies. Only Moraya likes these things. Compared to these fruits, I prefer some barbecue and other foods.
I handed the apple to Princess Sha Ali beside me, and then asked her: "Your Highness, what is the name of this electric magic?"
"Blade." Sha Aili said to me.
At this time, she held the apple in her hand, a little overwhelmed.
I still clearly remember that when she brought people to help me clear the siege at the Ivory Tower Magic Academy in Sloyd City, she looked more like a tall princess at that time.
I smiled at her and said, "This magic is really amazing. For a moment, I felt like a duck on a barbecue grill, already burnt by thunder."
Sha Alice looked a little embarrassed, her face turned a little red, and she said to me: "I'm really sorry, I thought you wanted to hurt my sister."
I quickly said, "I blamed myself for not explaining it in advance, but fortunately my electric magic element has a good affinity."
At this time, when Sophie couldn't help but smile when she heard me say this.
Her pretty face was like the most conspicuous red rose in the rose garden. She burst into a beautiful smile, as if she was back in the War Magic Academy in El City. I would occasionally run to her and Moraya's dormitory and lie on Moraya's bed for a nap. At that time, her smile was like this.
Sophie smiled and said to me, "It's not just good. Jijia, your resistance to lightning magic is terrible. Do you know? Last time, Sha and I encountered the attack from the remnants of the Ziqing Mountains in the villa in the suburbs of the imperial capital. They originally wanted to capture Sha and me. We were all caught, but those guys wanted to do something more excessive to us. Sha was suddenly awakened from the blood power of the family at that time. The "blazing thunder" she released directly burned a swordsman in the early stage. Thank you very much for nothing."
It is impossible for me to tell them both: My body is so resistant to electric magic, but it is actually for a duel in the summer. In order to defeat William on the roof of the teaching building, I really used all the means.
"By the way, how is Duke Jingyue?" I asked Princess Sha. Alice.
Seeing me asking about Jingyue and Aili's injuries, Princess Sha immediately said: "My sister's injuries have stabilized. I heard from Sora that the injury this time will probably have a great impact on my sister, and I may never be able to go to the battlefield again."
When I heard Sha Aili say this, she still had a bit of sad tone. In fact, in my opinion, for a duchess like Jingyue Aili, since she can hold power, what is it that she can't go to the battlefield?
The injuries I suffered were not very serious, mainly because I fell into a brief coma after hitting my head. After lying on the bed in the Duke's Castle for a morning, my head was not so dizzy, and my skin burned by the "blazing thunder" in my chest and abdomen also recovered. Since Sha Alice came over to apologize in person, I think what happened last night should have been revealed.
In the afternoon, the number of visitors in Duke Jingyue and Alice's castle began to increase. Duke Jingyue was still recovering from his injuries and it was not convenient to meet the visiting guests. Therefore, Princess Sha. Alice became extremely busy. The stables outside the castle were filled with various gorgeous magic caravans. The nobles in luxurious dresses were in constant contact, and the Grand Duke Sloyt's mansion became extremely lively.
I decided to say goodbye to Jingyue, Duke Alice and Princess Sha Alice. Unexpectedly, I could see Jingyue, Duke Alice recovering from the bed again. Her expression had recovered a lot at this time, and the wounds in her chest and abdomen had been sewn. It is said that seven "u"-shaped steel nails were penetrated into the sternum that was split by a giant axe, and finally they were fixed.
It was still the same bedroom, but the wall on one side had a new wallpaper. The old magician Clement sat on the sofa in the corner of the bedroom, probably in a state of "meditation".
Duke Jingyue Ali was lying on the big bed, looking pretty good, but it was cleared a lot, and her eye sockets collapsed a little. When she saw Caterina and I walked in, she showed a faint smile on her face and signaled that the maid beside her to help her sit up.
She said to me, "Speaking of this, Jijia, this is your second time to save me, the first time to be in the Fishing Lake, the second time to be here, I really don't know how to thank you."
I smiled and said, "Duke, you really don't have to be polite."
She spoke very lightly, and although the wound healed quickly under the prayer of healing, it did not recover completely.
Duke Jingyue then said to me: "Sora Master explained to us that you did that... to dispel the last bit of dark darkness in my body. We realized that Sha was a little impulsive. I hope you don't blame her. Remember this spring, you saved Sha on the airship once. Every time Sha met me, she would mention that matter to me."
I said, "That time, there were rebels hijacking the airship, and I was just saving myself."
"No matter what, since I have accepted so many favors from you, I should show it." After she said that, she waved to the maid and said to her: "Go and take that box over."
The maid turned around and walked out. Not long after, she walked in from outside with a magic box in her arms. The maid placed the magic box on the small square table in front of me. Jing Yue and Aili signaled me to open the lid. I reached out and opened the lid, and found that it was not a magic gem or a precious magic material inside, but a yellowed note bound in very old parchment paper.
I reached out and took the notes out of the magic seal box and found that the notes were well preserved, with a light layer of grease on the sheepskin, and the handwriting on the cover did not fade at all. A person's name was written in the lower left corner of the cover: Xiatun Aili.
Duke Xiatun Aili is one of the five heroes of the Green Empire. Unexpectedly, the name Xiatun Aili is written in this pamper book.
"This is a note on the experience of the ancestors on electric magic. If you can control electric magic, I believe this note will be of some help to you." Duke Jingyue Ali said to me.
Then, Katerina and I left the Duke's Mansion. Sophie personally sent Katerina and me into the magic caravan. She raised her face and said to me who was about to get into the car: "Gija!"
"Hmm?" I stopped and turned to look at her.
"If there is any news about Moraya, don't forget to notify me." Sophie smiled and looked at me with a strange look.
"I will definitely do it!" I walked into the car, poked my head out of the window, and promised her.
The Knight Picture of the North Wind Legion almost surrounded the manor of Duke Jingyue and Ali. The mighty knights were wearing black magic patterns. They had just returned from the battlefield, and their bodies were filled with a faint murderous aura, which made people dare not get close.
The magic caravan walked along the lakeside avenue for a long time before turning into Yulin Street and returning to the Royal Magic Academy. As soon as he got off the magic caravan, he saw a young man wearing a magic apprentice robe walking towards me. He walked up to me and bowed to me, then said, "His Excellency Magician Jijia, Lord Dennis's life, I will bring you something."
As he said that, he took out a small magic box from his magic belt. I took the magic box and opened the lid in front of him. A faint magic aura overflowed from the magic box. A piece of gold the size of a fist was placed inside. This piece of metal was slightly different from ordinary gold, and it was not as gravel-like texture as pure gold. The surface of this piece of metal formed countless hexagonal surfaces, which was clearly a piece of krypton gold. Although I had never seen real krypton gold before, I had only seen some characteristic descriptions of krypton gold in the picture album of the magic book, but when it was placed in front of me, I still recognized it at a glance. It was clearly a piece of krypton gold.
"Is this what Dennis asked you to bring me?" I buckled the lid of the magic seal box. Such a piece of krypton gold the size of a fist can be said to be quite valuable. This thing is a rare magic metal that is difficult to buy even if you have money. It is difficult to buy even in auction houses in the imperial capital. This magic krypton gold is a very hard magic metal, which is widely used in the blades of advanced magic weapons, the tips of magic pens, and the coating of the core axis of some magic devices, etc.
After hearing my question, the magic apprentice nodded.
I asked him again, "Did Dennis say something else to you?"
"Mr. Dennis said, as long as I hand over this thing to you, you will understand." The magic apprentice said slowly.
I lowered my head and flipped through my magical waist bag. I found that the fish-skin hood with the magic effect of "enhancing mental power" was gone. So I looked around the street and asked Katerina: "Which restaurant is quieter nearby?"
There are no so-called restaurants at the gate of the Royal Magic Academy. They are only available on the food street on the west side of the academy. However, it is particularly lively and I want to find a place to be peaceful.
Katerina often waits for me outside the college when I was in class. Of course, she wouldn't wait foolishly at the school gate. I believe she should be very familiar with the neighborhood. Sure enough, Katerina took me and this young magic apprentice to a bakery shop not far from the entrance of the college. The store looked very small and built a small shed in the corner of the street. Only when she walked in did she find that the decoration inside the cake shop had a unique flavor, which had a feeling of an orc tribe's tent.
And at this time, there was no one in this cake shop. We walked in and found a table to sit down, ordered some food to the waiter casually. Then I spread a fish skin on the small dining table, and under the nose of the magic apprentice, I personally drew a fish skin hood with the effect of "enhancing mental power". Before the ink mark of the magic ink was completely dry, I handed the fish skin hood to the magic apprentice.
The magic apprentice sat opposite the dining table and watched me look in astonishment after drawing the magic pattern of the fish-skin hood. I seemed a little disbelief. I drew the fish-skin hood so simply.
Chapter completed!
