Invisible light swept across the bodies of Felipe and the mysterious man, and the silver-gray door opened back, revealing a colorful honeycomb-shaped corridor.
On the corridor, an old man wearing a bright red magic robe was looking at them with lightning eyes, and said with all his face: "Did Blaise be here just now? Otherwise, there would be no inexplicable changes in Hathaway's experiment!"
And, I can feel it!”
The young man bared his teeth quietly: "Maybe..."
Then, he said innocently: "What happened?"
…………
when!
The "Bone Wall Clock" on the Academic Affairs Tower made a long but cold sound.
Downey just drew and carved the last line in his soul, so the spell model suddenly collapsed inward, frantically absorbing the sea of energy. Life and death intertwined with each other, and the "power" continued to divide and grow, bringing about turbulent and violent
The change.
When everything calmed down, there was a "crystal" with a complex structure in Downey's soul. It was full of mystery, contained mysteries, and was an intuitive presentation of certain laws. This also showed that Downey had passed the apprenticeship stage and became a
Official magician!
This is a breakthrough that countless magic apprentices dream of, but most of them find it difficult to achieve.
As long as you become an official magician, you will not only gain the power to easily kill apprentices and ordinary people, but you will also automatically become a city councilor in your home city, on par with lords and ordinary barons. For ordinary children, it is equivalent to stepping into the upper class society!
Downey, who came from a bad background, looked at himself with joy. Since he almost touched the "black armor" a few months ago, he, Carl, and Sammy have never had similar nightmares. Their lives are stable, they can study with peace of mind, and they are in good spirits.
Breakthroughs in power seem to be much easier than before, so after Karl and Sami, I can also successfully break through before the new year! This is also a good result among the apprentices of Heidler Magic Academy in the past.
Although there are some who become official magicians before entering Hedler Academy of Magic, most of the apprentices are not qualified to reach the official rank until the end of the first school year, and few can break through before the New Year.
"...It feels like those few nightmares have brought about the tempering of the soul, so the mental power will grow much faster and have a solid foundation..." Downey was thinking, "Just the nightmares are like this. If in the end
What kind of changes will happen when you touch that black full-body armor?"
"That's not right. Maybe it's controlled by that black armor. You can't be too greedy... Well, I'll go home during the New Year holiday and thank Mr. Doros. Without his generous help, I wouldn't be able to become an official mage."
Do you know how long you have to wait..."
…………
In the 24th year of the Arcane Calendar, at the end of the Ice Moon, the cold wind was biting and the dripping water turned into ice. It was so cold that passers-by huddled tightly in their coats and wore their hats low.
"It got so cold before I knew it..." On the Hexagram platform, Karl pulled up his men's suit and exhaled deliberately, so that the white air around his mouth filled the air like mist.
Although Downey has become an official magician, he has not given himself any spells to resist the cold at this time, so he also shuddered and gathered his black magic robe: "Yes, winter is only available in Rentat."
Feel."
Heidler Magic Academy is located in the world of the dead. The four seasons are the same, monotonous and silent. The temperature is adjusted by the mystery lock. It is difficult for people inside to feel the changes of the seasons. After leaving the world of the dead, Heidel City is affected by the atmosphere of the world of the dead all year round.
The infection is almost the same, and the magic steam train has magic air conditioning for heating. Therefore, except for the white snow along the way, Donnie and Kalfan feel like winter at this time.
"I have to go home, see you after the New Year's holiday." Karl said with a sweet smile, and then he waved, "By the way, Happy New Year!"
Sammy and Jones were separated from them at Handler Station, after all, the routes were different.
Watching Karl disappear into the crowd on the platform, Downey sighed slightly. Half a year later, he still couldn't get used to Karl's appearance.
He shook his head, got rid of this thought, and walked out of the platform. He had already booked a ticket to return to his hometown town tomorrow. Today he had to visit and thank Mr. Doros and several teachers who took good care of him when he was in school.
Near the Triumph Square, Tang Ni walked excitedly to the "Knowledge Bookstore", wanting to tell Mr. Doros the good news that he had been promoted to an official mage as soon as possible. This was a normal and simple mentality of "showing off" and "sharing". Tang Ni
How can you be exempt from vulgarity?
"How could this happen?" Downey stood blankly in front of the "Knowledge Bookstore", not understanding what was happening.
I saw that the door of the "Knowledge Bookstore" was closed, with several notes taped on it, which looked slightly dim and blurry.
"Why is it closed?" Donnie approached in surprise and carefully identified the words on the note.
"The shop owner has evaded taxes and has been specially seized. Holm Tax Office."
"Suspected of selling prohibited books, special joint seizure. Magic Parliament Punishment Department, Holm Police Department."
"Suspected of selling counterfeit magic items, special joint seizure. Magic Parliament Punishment Department, Rentat City Hall."
…
Downey stared at the seals in stunned silence and murmured to himself: "What on earth did Mr. Doros do..."
Ten years ago, with the further popularization of magic items and the increasing number of different types of alchemy workshops, social life in Holm has undergone great changes. One of the distinctive features is that the division of labor has become increasingly detailed. Therefore, at this time,
Prince Heinrich, as Prime Minister, responded to this situation by splitting up the previously mixed government ministries.
Although it seemed that Mr. Doros had committed the crime, thinking about the help he had given him, Downey still refused to leave. He found other nearby shop owners and inquired carefully.
"A few months ago, people from the tax department summoned Doros, accusing him of tax evasion."
"After being summoned, Doros never came back. In the next few days, people came to post seals one after another. There were several in total."
"I heard that Doros was imprisoned in the Demonic Prison and will not be released for at least five or six years."
Faced with Downey, who wore the official mage's crest on his chest, the owners of nearby shops did not dare to hide it, nor did they dare to use their nicknames to the tax collectors and police in private.
"Forbidden Demon Prison..." Downey whispered softly, struggled and hesitated, and decided to visit Mr. Doros. After all, he had been of great help to him.
Unfortunately, Downey soon became disappointed, because the staff from the council told him that the magic-forbidden prison where Doros was imprisoned was far away, and his entire vacation would only be enough for a round trip. Therefore, based on the staff member's suggestion, he wrote
He wrote a letter to Doros and left his contact address.
…………
Woo!
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of the train coming into the station scared all the children playing nearby and backed away with frightened faces. Even the adults around were a little scared. The town had not been connected to the railway for a long time, and the residents here were not used to being able to run on their own.
of behemoth.
Downey slowly stepped off the magic steam train. He saw familiar buildings and distant mountains in his sight, and his emotions were complicated and unspeakable.
"Hey, isn't that Downey from the White family?" There are not many residents in the town, and they are all familiar with each other.
"Yes, it's Donnie. He looks like he's grown up a lot. Wait a minute, the badge on his magic robe seems to have changed?"
"A black ring on the silver background, he, he is a noble magician!"
In an instant, the eyes of the residents of the town whom Downey was familiar with before changed, full of awe and envy. It seemed that this was no longer the Downey they knew, but a strange Mr. Magician who was more noble than the old mayor!
Although they had not met the official magician a few times, the stingy mayor's warm hospitality left a deep impression on them every time. Unknowingly, the naughty kid from the neighbor's house became a high-ranking Mr. Magician?
The change in the attitude of the residents could not be hidden from Downey, who was increasingly sensitive. He was a little uncomfortable, a little emotional, and a little secretly happy. No wonder everyone wanted to become a magician and a noble, at least until he could truly explore the world.
In the past, this feeling could urge me to work hard.
After a brief silence, someone left the platform and shouted loudly: "Whitey, Whitey! Your little Downey Jr. is back! He has become Mr. Magician!"
Donnie immediately quickened his pace and headed towards the platform exit.
Not long after, a middle-aged man whose face seemed to have been polished by wind and frost appeared on the street near the platform. He had an old appearance and gray hair. If he had no wrinkles, some people would believe him if he said he was in his fifties or sixties. But in his case
Behind him is a fat middle-aged woman and a youthful girl.
The expressions of the three people were equally excited and happy, and the two ladies had tears streaming down their faces.
"Father, mother, Lily..." Downey's voice was slightly choked and he walked over.
His father White held his hand tightly and patted it hard: "Okay, okay, very good..."
At this moment, Downey felt that all his hard work and dangerous experiences were worth it!
…………
Donnie spent the New Year leisurely and happily. Downey was very satisfied with his life. The only unpleasant thing was that the town was still very backward. Not only were the street lights only near the platform, but there were no household TVs, so he could only watch them in the town.
Listen to the "mysterious sound" in the open space at the east end.
On this day, when Downey was about to go out with his parents and sister to listen to the "Secret Sound", he suddenly saw a carriage engraved with the coat of arms of a nobleman stopped in front of him.
"Hello, dear Mr. White, my master, Baron Herdos, would like to invite you to his manor as a guest. I hope you can help him solve a problem that has been bothering him for a long time." A man who looked like a butler got out of the carriage.
Downey knew that Baron Herdos was the lord of these small towns and did not dare to neglect: "I don't know what it is? If I can help, I will definitely go."
The butler did not hide anything: "My master has an old castle, and there are often signs of being haunted in it. I have asked several magic apprentices and mages for help before, but to no avail. Two of the apprentices died inside. I heard that you have become
I am a formal magician and a student of Hedler Academy of Magic, so my master sincerely requests your help, you are a professional."
Donnie was a little reflexively afraid of this kind of thing, but before he could refuse, he heard the butler say: "No matter whether you can succeed or not, my master will give you ten Queen's gold coins as a reward. If this matter can be solved, There are more!” (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
