Chapter 202 Admission Notice
Riddle Wise just had his ninth birthday in his life.
As a farmer's child, Riddle will continue to spend countless birthdays in this small village surrounded by wheat fields - perhaps he will join the village's self-police team or run a grocery store when he grows up, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that if there is no accident, this little boy with beautiful flax hair and amber eyes will never leave the small village in his entire life.
Even Her Majesty of Huoli's Queen has adjusted the taxes of farmers, allowing them to escape from the hungry and full life they had before, and even left a little bit of copper to go to the tavern to chat every week, but this kind of small money is still too little, and I can't feel it in a small village. Once I arrive in a big city, I guess I will spend it all by buying something casually.
The only time Riddle left this small village in his nine years was a year ago when his family had saved enough money. His father took him to the city to buy a new hog-toothed beast for farming.
That's right, if there's no accident...
"Dad, that bird is here again."
Little Riddle, who was catching bullet bugs outside the house (an insect similar to grasshoppers, can be used for fishing), suddenly shouted at the big tree with dense branches and leaves at the door.
In the dense canopy, you can see a big bird with a snow-white body and a body of about 60 cm in length.
Dad Wise, who was putting an iron plow on the pig-toothed beast, did not react much to this.
Unlike those cities where magical technology is developed and magical elements are highly active, the surrounding monsters are frequently seen, monsters appear in this small village instead of high frequency. Instead, some wild beasts that waste crops often circulate around the village.
Although he had never seen the big bird that was snow-white all over and looked a bit like an owl, he thought it was probably just a bird that had just arrived in the village to build a nest recently. In addition, although the bird was quite large and its wingspan was even more than one meter. However, there was no news of hurting people, and he didn't care about it.
If it was the usual, Dad Wise might try to catch it. But now the season for summer wheat is here. If you miss it, the harvest in autumn will be a lot less, and that's all money! So he didn't have time to do anything, so he didn't have time to catch birds for the children. After a few perfunctory words, he drove the pig-toothed beast out.
Little Riddle didn't think so. Although his parents didn't believe it, the big bird had appeared beside him for several days and stared at him with bright yellow pupils.
Does it want to take me to fly? The child's nature made Little Riddle not only not afraid of this, but also had a sense of expectation. However, the Big Bird obviously did not have this idea. He just stayed on the branches and continued to observe Little Riddle under the cover of the branches and leaves.
After throwing stones at the big bird, but failed because the strength of the arm was too small, Little Riddle, who was very playful, immediately threw it behind and continued to do other things.
A few more days later. When the boy was used to watching the big bird, he suddenly realized that the big bird was missing.
His friends were very sorry for this.
Although the big bird is not very active, it looks very powerful and heroic, and looks majestic. It used to be chirping and making people irritated and irritable, but the irritable bird didn't even dare to squeak next to the big white bird.
"I'd like to find a way to catch it if I had known it. Mr. Lant's falcon is so handsome! After the big bird is trained, it will definitely not be worse than the bent head!"
The opinions of a certain naughty child were supported by most people.
"That's a cat-faced falcon, is it the one who catches mice? Are you planning to train a hunting bird that catches mice?"
A little guy who couldn't stand the proud face of the naughty child retorted, and the two of them immediately started to quarrel.
"I think the meat of that big bird must be better than chicken. You should be roasted when caught!"
A foodie expressed his opinion in the storm of his friends, and then he was spitted with a shared hatred by both sides.
Although Riddle did not express any comments on this, he thought the naughty child had the best opinion. At the same time, he felt a little disappointed with the sudden disappearance of the big bird.
Could it be that someone had caught? There are many experts in the village who catch birds.
But soon he put this little loss aside and ran to catch spiders with his friends. Every time someone came from the city to collect living spiders and spider silk. It is said that these spell casting items prepared for the magicians. Although the selling price is not high, for these children who do not give pocket money at home, this is one of the few sources of pocket money.
The next day, when Little Riddle stretched out of the door, he found that the big bird appeared again.
However, this time the bird brought a letter wrapped in good letter paper, and the envelope was sealed with wax seal. No matter how you look at it, it should not appear in such a rural letter.
Neither Wise nor Little Riddle could read, they ran to the village chief’s house at the entrance of the village with the letter and asked the village chief to read the letter to them before they could understand the contents.
【Dear Mr. Riddle Wise:】
【We happily inform you that you have been allowed to attend Adrick Magic Academy.】
[Our semester will start on the 31st of the Acorn month (July), before that, we will wait for the owl - the big bird in front of you - to bring your reply.]
[If you decide to attend this college, please bring the admission notice in the envelope with you after replying and wait for our transportation at your doorstep on the 30th of the Acorn month.]
[Finally, I wish you a happy one.]
At the bottom of the letter paper is ‘Sofia Langejin’ and a ribbon-shaped heraldry similar to the sealing wax mark.
In addition, the envelope says "Horian Empire, Evansaud, Modrian Village, the third house is collected from the west, and Mr. Riddle Wise, a cottage to the south," and the sender says "City of the Sky, Adrick Magic Academy, Dean Sivi Adrick Sends".
Regarding this letter, the Wies family was like the daughter of a cake shop who was suddenly notified to become a princess. Except for Riddle, who was unknown, they were all shocked.
Even the knowledgeable old village chief was not spared from being amazed - he had seen people on the market, so he naturally knew how popular the Magic Academy is. To this day, people who want to learn magic have taken the initiative to find the Magic Academy. This is the first time I heard that the Magic Academy took the initiative to find students.
Looking at the strange expressions of his parents, Little Riddle had an inexplicable feeling. Maybe he had already been booked in the future and began to gallop in the other direction...)
