Elson Baker, the owner of the "Winter Fireplace" bar, took a sip of the whiskey in his glass, let the slightly sweet and spicy liquid fall down his throat, and exhaled.
The panic caused by Alaksha's 'visit' subsided two days ago. Except for a few unlucky ones who broke bones, knocked out their front teeth, or broke the porcelain they just bought in fear, the dragon did not cause much damage.
The new week has begun, and people are gradually returning to their work and life. People in the city have added an interesting topic of conversation during their free time or after meals. They speculate on various unreliable reasons, such as whether he is the ex-wife.
Come to hunt down an evil wizard, or bring an important message.
No one saw what happened at the scene with their own eyes. Even the Yit people, who are famous for their boldness, would not approach a giant dragon casually. However, except for those who fainted from fright, all the residents of the city heard Cullen's shouting.
Lord, Edda - this name has been imprinted in the hearts of many people unconsciously.
He was focused on other things. It had been three days since the dragon attacked. During this period, he had not seen any wizards in the store, which was not normal. This was not to boast, he was quite proud of his cooking skills. Those who would rather have more
The best proof is that people come here to taste the dishes even if they walk some distance.
Most of the wizards who came to dine were kind, not as cold or majestic as the rumors said. Some, such as the two girls named Yuffie and Lin, would also perform some magic tricks in the store. This brought him a lot of attention.
Having little extra income is also one of the things he is proud of.
He had heard the voice shouting Yuffie's name. He just closed the door of the bar tightly until he was sure that the dragon had flown away, and then carefully walked onto the street. He would not feel guilty because he knew that it was not something he could interfere with.
.However, instinct told him that maybe he should confirm what happened in the college that day.
That's it. He took off his greasy apron in twos and twos, balled it up and threw it in the corner, and wiped his hands with the rag on the bar. He turned the sign on the door to 'Break' and hung it up.
He locked the door and strode towards the college.
The public has never been prohibited from entering the plaza of Eagle College - except when conducting certain dangerous experiments. However, the fear of wizards and the unknown prevents most people from setting foot there easily. Children will be warned by their parents that there are edible foods there.
Get rid of their monsters.
The square looked the same as before, at least it was not burned to scorched earth or changed beyond recognition by magic. Elson carefully walked towards the north side of the tower, hoping to find a student and ask about what happened at that time.
Then he saw almost all the students, as well as the instructors wearing ceremonial robes.
They lined up neatly in the square. Elson approached carefully and saw that everyone was wearing poppies on their chests-the Kamal people used this bloody flower to express their memory for their relatives and friends who died unexpectedly.
He couldn't help but get closer. A student saw him and waved him over. Elson took a deep breath and walked to him. The student made a bright red flower out of nowhere and stuck it to him.
On some greasy clothes.
He thanked the student in a low voice, trying not to look too nervous.
"Thank you all for being able to listen to me, an old man, say a few words here."
A tired voice came from the front. Elson looked up and saw an old wizard in a white robe. He didn't feel the arrogance and mystery of the wizard. He was just like the grandfather in Elson's memory, just a human being.
Ordinary old man.
"Today is a happy day when you get your graduation certificate and become an official wizard recognized by the academy."
The old man's voice was gentle, like a breeze blowing in Elson's ears.
"But three days ago, we experienced a disaster. I can't guarantee that it was just an accident or a sign of an uneasy future."
"You heard Kurun Dahl's declaration. The only thing I want to remind you is that before you are truly mature, do not try to do things beyond your own capabilities, or pursue clues that will hurt you. One day, this world will
The continent will need your knowledge."
"Three brave wizards lost their lives in that disaster. Because of their sacrifice, some of us are able to stand here safely."
Elson took a breath.
"Let us remember their names - Catherine Mary Grey, Lyn Grace Campbell, and Euphie Nora Steinmetz." The old wizard said word by word, "May their souls be found in heaven.
peaceful."
…
Elson couldn't remember when he left the academy and how he returned to the tavern. He also couldn't remember what the old wizard said later. There was only one thought constantly swirling in his mind - those two lovely girls, if they don't
She would come to his bar, wait for him to serve two specially prepared drinks, and thank him with a smile.
Okay, he admitted that he liked them a little, but he never had any bad thoughts. They were wizards, and they were just two lines that occasionally crossed with him. When he was young, he traveled away from home and learned cooking skills.
, and opened a store in this beautiful city. For him, this is the greatest satisfaction in this life.
He picked up the glass on the bar and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.
There's just something missing.
That's right, it's time to find a suitable wife and have a few lively and lovely sons or daughters. He will take good care of them and wait until they grow up. If they like it, he will inherit his cooking skills and store. Otherwise, it will be up to them.
Go ahead, young people, you have to have a little bit of motivation.
Let's leave those things to tomorrow, right now he just wants to have a good sleep.
The thirty-nine-year-old Kamal man pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom, closed the blinds, and lay down on the bed covered with hay and cotton wool.
