Lucia held a thick stack of books, hurriedly walked through the secret hall, squeezed through the crowded corridors, and rushed into the Arcane Academy.
Not far ahead is the Knowledge Hall where she attends daily lectures. Today's lecturer is Mr. Brown, the second-level arcanist whom she respects and admires the most. In this way, she is even more reluctant to give up.
However, as soon as she arrived, she was suddenly stopped by a male apprentice who rushed out.
This is an aristocratic young man with a handsome appearance and a handsome figure. He looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is wearing a well-cut arcanist robe with exquisite patterns painted with golden runes.
According to the regulations of the Arcane Empire, those who have not applied for an Arcane Level Appraisal at the Arcane Appraisal Institute are not allowed to wear the robes of a formal arcanist. However, the arcane aura of the noble young man in front of him is obviously just an apprentice.
But he blatantly broke the rules and wore arcanist robes.
This is going to be caught by the law enforcement team, but it is a serious crime to cancel the apprentice status!
Behind this noble young man, there were more than a dozen bossy guys, who looked like they were all students from the Arcane Academy.
"Soren, you violated the rules again!" Lucia was shocked at first after being stopped by the other party, and then couldn't help frowning: "If you are caught by the college law enforcement team, be careful that your apprentice status will no longer be preserved.
.Don’t think that having a grandfather who is a 3rd level arcanist can cause mischief in the academy..."
The young apprentice named Sauron looked proud, waving his hands to keep the 'followers' behind him away, and then boldly set his eyes on Lucia's youthful and beautiful face.
"Lucia, I ask you for the last time today...will you be my lover?"
There was a hint of anger on Lucia's beautiful face, and her bright blue eyes stared at the other party, saying word by word: "Soran, you have harassed me many times, and this time my answer is still that."
In other words, don’t have any delusions in your life! My life belongs to the arcane, my soul belongs to the arcane, and apart from the arcane, I am not interested in anything else!"
The little girl's tone was firmer than ever before, and her words also revealed a maturity and persistence that was very inconsistent with her age.
"You...you...I'm afraid you don't know yet!" Sauron was obviously irritated by Lucia's 'decision'. He glanced around and found that no one could overhear their conversation, so he took a step forward.
He leaned into the other party's ear and whispered bitterly: "The empire has planned to give up this war and is organizing a retreat..."
The little girl's body trembled slightly.
"The number of retreat places that the empire can give is limited. Even my grandfather can only take away two people. I will definitely take one. You...if you are willing to be my lover, I can ask my grandfather,
Let him take you away too..."
Lucia's face instantly turned pale.
Although she was extremely reluctant to admit what the other party said, with Grandpa Sauron's identity as a third-level arcanist, this news was most likely true. And if this news was true, wouldn't it mean that the empire had abandoned it?
All the subjects and low-level members are plotting to 'escape'!
Lucia's hand that grabbed the thick arcane book was so hard that her finger bones were protruding and her blood was gone. However, she just lowered her head for a moment, then looked up again and stared into Sauron's eyes and said decisively: "Don't worry.
, Sauron, even if this world is going to be destroyed tomorrow, I will not agree to your request. From the day I stepped into the Arcane Academy, I have made up my mind to dedicate everything to greatness.
Arcane research. You no longer have to be wishful thinking!"
Sauron also seemed to be irritated, and whispered in an extremely firm and cruel voice: "Don't worry, I won't continue to pester you. From today on, it will still be a month until the final evacuation. I believe you will"
Think about this problem seriously. You know where my residence is. As long as you can stay with me for one night before the retreat order is issued, I can take you away. Otherwise, you can stay here and wait for me.
Let the floating city perish together!"
After saying that, the other party laughed loudly and left, leaving the pale Lucia where she was.
…………
Maplewood Town.
This is an inconspicuous human town.
The town is located near a canyon, surrounded by dense yellow-green groves.
Because it is close to a mountainous area, the fog here is thick and humid. Even at noon, it is difficult to see the red sun in the gray sky.
Greem stood near the entrance of the town, looked around and found no signs of arcane energy running, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's rest here for the night today! The nearest human city is 110 miles away from this town, and there are no arcane buildings nearby, so it's perfect for us to settle down."
The other three people just shrugged and walked into the town casually.
The town has a population of about a hundred households, and nearly a hundred dilapidated wooden houses are arranged in an orderly manner, defining three or two streets and a small central square.
At this time, it was the setting sun, and the residents of the town lit the stoves and cooked dinner.
The smoke coming out of the chimney mixed with the faint mist, making the place dark and gloomy.
The residents of the town couldn't help but feel extremely surprised when they saw Grim and others in strange clothes. They came out of the houses, kitchens, cowsheds, etc., gathered together and pointed, as if they thought they were wandering around.
Adventurer.
The dark witch Shani obviously didn't like being watched and pointed at, so she snorted coldly and was about to take action, but Greem reached out to stop her.
"We are wizards, not monsters. Unnecessary killing should be avoided as much as possible!" Greem said calmly, then turned to look at Mangus: "Mangus, I leave it to you!"
"No problem!" Mangus smiled and quickly handed over control of his body to Lisa Qiu.
As Lisa Qiu's head moved to the center of her neck, her eyes opened instantly.
Manges is good at fighting, while Lisa Qiu is good at spiritual witchcraft.
Therefore, as Lisa Qiu opened her eyes and lightly snapped her fingers, all the residents of the town closed their eyes in an instant and stood there, with obvious snoring sounds coming from their mouths and noses.
"Okay! Everyone has been hypnotized. Until we leave tomorrow, they will not wake up on their own, nor will they remember us anymore..." Lisa Qiu smiled slightly.
Spiritual witchcraft is her area of expertise, so she is the absolute authority in this area!
"Let's go, find a place to settle down. I haven't taken a bath for several days, and I feel a little moldy!" Wizard Harry nodded with satisfaction, and headed towards the tallest and most luxurious building in the town.
Walk to the house.
The house chosen by Wizard Holly seems to belong to a certain local minor noble. Not only is the house clean and tidy, but the maids and servants inside are also dressed much better than the residents of the small town.
Arriving at the door of the house, Lisa Qiu snapped her fingers again.
This time, everyone in the house stopped sleeping soundly, but still did not break away from the dream. They remained in a state of sleepwalking and lined up in two rows in front of several wizards. Looking at the clothes, there were also people mixed in.
There was a middle-aged lady with a decent appearance, and two elegantly dressed aristocratic ladies.
"We are all hungry, let's prepare dinner immediately! In addition, boil more hot water, and we will take a good bath after eating. By the way, remember to clean the bedroom and replace everything with new ones..."
Following Lisa Qiu's series of instructions, these people who were in a state of sleepwalking with their eyes closed immediately began to get busy and quickly arranged the restaurant on the first floor properly.
In fact, with the super strong physiques of Greem and others, they would not die of hunger or thirst even if they did not eat or drink for half a year. But as human wizards, they still regard eating as a rare enjoyment and relaxation deep in their hearts.
.So, under Lisa Qiu's arrangement, Greem and others sat on one side of the dining table, put on their scarves, picked up their knives and forks, and began to enjoy this wonderful dinner in another world.
After all, Fenglin Town is just an extremely remote small village in Ruian Province, and the food here cannot be that wonderful. However, in a completely unfamiliar alien plane, four level 4 wizards can gather together politely and elegantly to enjoy a meal.
A sumptuous dinner is enough, there is no need for so-called delicacies to enhance the atmosphere here.
Those stupid and ugly servants and cooks were all driven outside by Lisa Qiu. The only ones who could enter the restaurant to serve the wizards closely were the noble lady master and her two young daughters.
Fortunately, the wizards were all decent people and didn't have any weird hobbies themselves, so the dinner ended with a seemingly friendly interaction.
While eating and drinking, Greem frequently picked up the wine glass in front of him to pay tribute to the dark witch Shani, but he always ended up being ignored.
During the last battle, the dark witch didn't show up at all, but only appeared suddenly after the battle.
If it were another wizard captain, I'm afraid he would have been angered by the other party's wanton behavior.
But Greem acted like a normal person. Not only did he not have any anger, but he looked like he had taken a liking to the other person. This also earned Lisa Qiu a snickering look, Wizard Holly's thumbs up, and Witch Shani.
of sullenness.
But Greem didn't care about the coldness and anger she showed, and instead became more provocative.
"I'm full!" Pushing away the barely touched food, the dark witch Shani stood up and pointed at the noble woman: "Take me to wash up!"
After saying that, she proudly left the restaurant with her head held high.
Looking at the tall and graceful figure of the other party, Greem finally showed a hidden smile. (To be continued)
