Chapter Forty-Four: Pulling out the Seedlings to Encourage Growth
Time flies by.
Xia Han spent the first three months in the Sky Temple. The elf princess Fiona doted on her only disciple, and the tasks given to her were all trivial tasks. So whenever Xia Han saw other children carrying a lot of burdens,
He was sweating profusely and running around, and he was sincerely glad that he had chosen the right teacher.
In such comfortable days, it only took Xia Han two months to enter the library that only fourth-level mages could enter. This speed was beyond the reach of 99% of the mages in the Sky Temple.
However, few people would hate Xia Han because of this. There is no equal value standard for everyone here - people are born with differences due to status and talent, and inequality is the rule of the world.
As the youngest fourth-level mage, Xia Han has become a symbol of genius and has caused many mages to avoid him. And he has no interest in going out to make friends, so he has been reading books in the library.
The Library of Truth is a huge magic castle with a vast interior and more than ten floors. Hundreds of humanoid magic puppets manage the order here. They actively organize the scattered books, and the small brooms surrounding them will sweep the floor spotlessly.
.
Xia Han found these puppets very interesting. Their technology came from elves, but it was a pity that Fiona refused to tell him how to make them.
On this day, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old found Xia Han who was reading a book.
"Xia Han, how about going to my place for dinner tonight?"
This young man who was as handsome as a monster smiled and said hello.
Qiu Ye - Prince of the Zhu Yue Empire, one of the heirs to the 'Qiu' royal power, and a seventh-level genius mage. Although the background of the royal family does not have much symbolic meaning in the Sky Temple, Qiu Ye's identity here is still the disciple of Glory Lord Qin Huang
, he is very likely to inherit the City of Glory in the future.
With noble status, handsome appearance, and gentle character, he will be either a king or a temple lord in the future - the light of autumn night is several times more dazzling than that of summer cold. There is even a rumor circulating in the sky temple... The elf princess Fiona is against
I have a special liking for autumn nights.
Even Xia Han didn't dare to deny this rumor casually.
"No, the princess seems to have something to tell me tonight."
Xia Han shook his head and refused the invitation. He found the magic puppet next to him activating the lighting crystal on the wall and realized that it was already evening.
Although the Library of Truth is open day and night, and evening is also a favorite time for many night owl mages, Xia Han is not such a night owl.
"Princess Fiona?" A trace of surprise flashed in Qiuye's eyes, and he suddenly smiled: "Since it's her invitation, I'd better give in... I'll ask you out next time."
"No problem." Xia Han did not refuse.
Qiu Ye met him because of the name 'Xia Han'. The human prince once doubted Xia Han's true identity, but he gave up after contact. In fact, Xia Han's name caused turmoil for a long time, and the outside world
They even sent people to investigate.
Of course, these people disappeared quickly after discovering that Xia Han had no human blood.
In the evening, Xia Han returned to the Elf City and Fiona's castle alone.
"Time flies so fast... I remember it was spring when you came, but now it's summer." The elf princess sat on a beautiful crystal chair and smiled at Xia Han who walked in: "Look at the fourth-level magic.
Are you having trouble with the book?"
Her sitting posture is very standard, but some of the pale reflections of the crystal make her arms look very tempting. Fiona, who has very traditional gestures and gestures, is called the "Charming Twin" by the mages. The main reason is that she will inadvertently
Use your body to grab a man's attention.
Xia Han also felt restless in his heart, and he frowned strangely: This kind of restlessness often occurred these days.
"The magic book is not that difficult...but princess, what's the mission this time?"
Putting his doubts aside for the time being, Xia Han asked Fiona. The elf princess rarely issued summons for no reason. She usually came to him to issue tasks.
"Yes, yes, but this time it doesn't count as a mission..." Fiona smiled bitterly and said: "Because I didn't give you anything to work hard on before, but somehow I got the attention of Order Lord Miss Jasmine. She is here
I mentioned this matter at today's meeting, and then I worked out a trial task for you with Qin Huang."
"I think they want to explore your secrets." Fiona sighed: "The disciples of both of them have a similar process... so I can't refuse."
Xia Han's face darkened: "Is it dangerous?"
His experience growing up made him feel that there was a conspiracy in it when he heard about it, but Fiona chuckled: "There must be difficulties, but the real danger is not your child's turn. Just try your best...
.There will be many people secretly watching this trial."
"Those two people have no malicious intent, and we will ensure your safety."
She gave Xia Han a reassurance.
Greater reassurance is yet to come. This trial allows him to take Bai Xue there. The lords will monitor their actions throughout the process, but unless an unexpected situation occurs, Bai Xue cannot take action.
This trial seemed to be foolproof, so Xia Han didn't shirk anymore. Fiona didn't know the specific details, so she just asked him to go to the Square of Truth the next morning.
Xia Han did not eat in the castle. He returned to his and Bai Xue's small home before dark.
The female thief Bai Xue doesn't know what to do outside during this time, but every day she goes home and prepares dinner for Xia Han. Fiona said that Bai Xue is a competent maid, but Xia Han feels that Bai Xue is more like trying to be a housewife.
go ahead.
This gave him a good feeling. Compared with the woman who tried to lead him away, Xia Han still liked to be gentle and well-behaved.
But that day, when Xia Han opened the door, he saw Bai Xue holding a small bottle and pouring white powder into the hot soup.
"Can you tell me what you are doing?" he said.
"Oops!" Bai Xue was startled and put the bottle behind her back to hide it: "I forgot to put the spices."
Justifiable reason, but Xia Han sensitively noticed a flash of nervousness in her eyes. Poison was definitely impossible, but what could be worth Bai Xue's secret release...and would it also make him nervous?
Xia Han started to think about it, but he couldn't come up with any results - he didn't have any physical problems recently, except for the occasional agitation when he saw the female mage.
Restless?
"What did you do to my body!" Xia Han's face turned pale, and an unbelievable suspicion came to him.
"Little guy, don't worry...I mean no harm..." Bai Xue noticed something was wrong with Xia Han's expression, and quickly explained: "It's just some health products, there is absolutely no harm in keeping fit for boys!"
There is no harm, it is definitely counterproductive.
"..."
This night, Bai Xue's housewife image that she had worked so hard to build for months was shattered.
