my age of magic

Chapter 1019 120. Chivalry
On the municipal square, the dazzling sunlight made me feel a little dazzling. I looked up at the Gryphon Knight who had turned into a black spot in the sky. I still had lingering fears about the flight just now. But the young people didn't think so. A few more courageous noble boys came over and asked me curiously: What kind of mood and feeling did I feel when I was sitting on the back of the lion eagle just now.

I scratched my head, thought for a while, and then said: "The flying speed is not bad, but that lion eagle is very unfriendly, I feel that he always wants to peck me."

The aristocratic young man laughed heartily when he heard what I said, "Haha, those big guys are usually like that, and only knights who have signed a magic contract with them can get close to them. I have long wanted to sit on the back of a lion eagle. It’s a pity that I have never had this opportunity to go around the sky above the imperial capital.”

Surrounding him was a group of young nobles, who looked like a small circle, probably graduates of a junior academy.

As for what the noble boy said, whether he didn't find the opportunity to ride it, or he didn't have the courage to approach the royal lion eagle, I think the real answer tends to be the latter.

The royal lion eagle is a domesticated flying monster unique to the Green Empire. It is a hybrid of a white eagle and a manticore. It has the head and wings of an eagle, and the body, tail and claws of a lion. The feathers on its head are gray and white. , the wings are a little yellow, and the body is as majestic as a male lion. Its wingspan is almost ten meters, and its flying speed is very fast. Although it is a domesticated monster, it will still reveal the inside of its body to strangers. The wildness that lurks.

I remember that I sat on the back of the Griffon and asked the Royal Griffin Knight curiously: "Will all the teenagers who fail to catch up with the coming-of-age ceremony, the Griffin Knights known as the Royal Sky Guard, will give free compensation?" help? '

The Gryphon Knight smiled and said to me: 'Of course not. '

The Royal Griffin circled in the air for a short while, pointing to the crowds in the street like a wave, he said to me: 'There are so many people, we can't help them. '

I asked him: 'Then why are you helping me? '

The Royal Griffin Knight said straight to the point: "That's because of your noble status. The medal you wear on your chest shows that you can enjoy many privileges, but speaking of it, I have never seen you. Which family do you belong to?" '

I sighed secretly, this is really a world where only nobles have privileges.

It's just that the Griffin Knight asked me which wealthy family I was a child of. I don't understand why he asked so firmly.

So he said to him: 'Why do you ask such a question?Can't I be a child from an ordinary family? '

The Gryphon Knight laughed and said, "Don't be kidding, a boy who can afford to wear the magic pattern structure to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, how could he come from an ordinary background? When I participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, I didn't have you." Dressed so aggressively!The young people of today...'

Standing on the municipal square, the exclamation of the Gryphon Knight still echoed in my ears.

The Griffin Knight felt that I had such courage in the face of the Griffon, and that he might become his colleague in the future. Before leaving, he told me that he looked forward to meeting again in the Royal Griffin Knights.

It was only later that I learned that every year in the imperial capital there are teenagers who are unable to arrive at the municipal square to take the oath on time due to various reasons. Square, I am the lucky one among these people.

The teenagers and girls waiting to take the oath in the square gathered together in twos and threes to chat. Everyone had their own small circle. People of the same age group were either friends or classmates of the same college. They were dressed in festive costumes. , many young people are wearing dresses and formal clothes, and some people are wearing brand-new thorn tail crystal lion leather armor or chain mail and other military costumes, wearing exquisite weapons that are more decorative than practical. There is a stark contrast.

A group of young men and women wearing magic robes occupied one corner of the square. They were all young magicians who had awakened the magic pool. They should have just graduated from the junior magic academy. Some of them were wearing Mithril magic robes or Young people in robes of knowledge magic mean that they have successfully become official magicians. There are also some wearing robes of dedication magic. It can only be said that even if they have graduated from a junior magic academy, they may still be magic apprentices.

There are also two big circles formed on the square, that is, commoner boys and noble boys are incompatible, and the civilian boys are dressed a little more plainly, without any badges on their chests.As for those teenagers from noble families, the clothes on their bodies look much more gorgeous.Even if these two circles stand on the square, there will be a clear dividing line.

I was dressed in a gorgeous magicweave outfit, and I was quickly included in the circle of noble boys, but I didn't know anyone here.

I studied magic for three years at the War College in El City, and on the recommendation of Heidi, I came to the Imperial Academy of Magic to learn magic knowledge, so that all the students around me were one year older than me. Almost like Noah, he only participated in the coming-of-age ceremony last year.So that standing in the square, I looked so alone.

The annual coming-of-age ceremony is mainly divided into three stages. The first stage is the adult oath, the second stage is the blessing of the goddess, and the third stage is the most important part of the whole celebration, the celebration dance.

In previous years, the coming-of-age ceremony would take an oath on the square in front of the temple, then accept the blessings of the great priests in the temple, and finally return to the squares of each block to hold a grand open-air dance.

Of course, this year's coming-of-age ceremony is held in a different way than in the past. The oath under the Statue of Liberty in front of the Temple Square was changed to the oath in front of the Municipal Square.

I think the reason for this is because the temple did not send priests and priests to participate in the war of planes. It is a very extreme way for the royal family and the ruling classes to express their strong dissatisfaction with the temple.

If this group of young people can swear an oath under the solemn Statue of Liberty, a seed of faith will be planted in the hearts of these young people, and it will be of great help to the apostles of the Statue of Liberty to spread their faith in the Grimm Empire.But if the coming-of-age ceremony is sworn in front of the municipal square, then the ruler deliberately allowed these young people to deepen their subjective understanding of the entire empire, and instead downplayed the status of theocracy in the hearts of the younger generation.

From a distance, I saw Ying Li wearing a pure white robe of knowledge and magic, standing gracefully in the corner of the square, surrounded by a group of young magicians, who seemed to be discussing something enthusiastically.Seeing that I saw her, Ying Li smiled and waved to me.

Except for Ying Li, I didn't know any young people here, so I walked straight to Ying Li.

The young nobleman kindly reminded me: "Hey, there is a gathering area for magicians. They don't welcome us. Let's wait here. The celebration will start soon."

For his kind reminder, I nodded gratefully to him.

Then he leaned over and asked me tentatively, "By the way, I don't know what your profession is, warrior? Knight? Or assassin?"

I pointed to my nose with my finger and asked him, "Me?"

He nodded and said to me: "Well, which academy are you from? Your magic pattern outfit is so cool! Look, there is no scratch on the leather. Is it brand new? Did your family buy it for you?" ?”

"I'm not a fighter, I'm a water magician. As for this set of magic pattern construction, it was given by someone who is also a teacher and a friend." Hanging a badge of the Royal Academy of Magic on his chest, he waved to him and walked straight to Yingli.

Only the noble boy with a bewildered face was left staring at me blankly. I guess he must be thinking of the words 'I am a magician', 'I am a magician', 'I am a magician'...

Walking to Ying Li's side, I secretly observed Ying Li's face, she stood in the crowd with a demure expression, like a pretty lily secretly blooming beautifully.

She came out from the crowd, stood in front of me pretty, pursed her lips, looked at me with a smile and said, "Aren't you late?"

I said to Yingli in distress: "The streets of the whole city are full of people, and the streets are full of carriages. There is no way to pass. If I had known that the festival celebration would completely paralyze the traffic in the imperial capital, I would have done that." Go out a little earlier."

Ying Li squinted his eyes, dimples appeared on his face, and asked me in a low voice: "Hey, Jijia flew here on a lion eagle, how does it feel?"

I leaned into Yingli's ear and whispered to her: "Why do you all ask such a question? I don't feel any difference when sitting on a lion eagle! Oh, by the way, after I left, you and Qige didn't fight. get up?"

She covered her mouth with a small smile and said, "You think we're going to fight? But why do we fight?"

I immediately realized that it was a very wrong thing to open this topic, so I immediately changed my words and asked Yingli: "By the way, why didn't Helena and Becky come?"

I think Yingli's magic robes are very beautiful on her body, but she actually wears a set of knowledge magic robes like a court evening dress.

Hearing my question, Ying Li looked at me obviously a little surprised, and said to me: "Ah, you don't even know how old they are?"

I shook my head and nodded again.

Ying Li smiled and said to me: "You really lack communication with them. They are one year older than me, and they participated in the coming-of-age ceremony at this time last year."

After finishing speaking, she pointed to the outer right side of the square with her finger. I turned my head and saw Qige standing with Letie, Helena, and Becky. In the most obvious position, there was a proud looking The indifferent Mrs. Manda, who never seems to show a smile, has the haughty character and astonishing beauty of an elf woman vividly displayed in her body.

Time cannot leave even the slightest trace on this elf princess. She is looking at us coldly at this moment, and when she finds that I see her, she turns her head away indifferently.It seems she still doesn't like me very much.

I sighed slightly, and I don't know when Mrs. Manda's thinking will change, maybe I should become a little better.

I asked Ying Li: "How did you get here? If you take the magic caravan, won't there be traffic jams?"

Ying Li seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing that I was still struggling with this, she couldn't help but smile like a lily suddenly blooming.

Ying Li said to me: "You don't know that there is a road leading to the Municipal Square that has been under martial law for a long time. It is specially used for the passage of nobles' magic caravans. We drove all the way from that road. Naturally, it is unimpeded. No hindrance."

I exclaimed and said: "Oh, it is the privilege of the noble class again, so it is like this!"

In fact, until now I have no way to understand what kind of magic the "soul contract" is. More to say, Yingli, Helena and Becky have become one, but Helena and Becky have independent magic. Their subjective consciousness is connected with each other's hearts. Apart from this, I haven't found anything special. I always feel that such a rare "soul contract" should not stop there.

The group of friends around Yingli realized at this time that Yingli had left their small group unknowingly, and chatted happily with me talking and laughing, so everyone came to our side. It's not the first time I've seen them, or it can be said that when these people saw me, they didn't have any strange expressions, obviously they knew of my existence.

For their greetings, no matter what the purpose is, I always smile and respond politely.

Young magicians get together, even if these people are the favored children of the Grimm Empire, the topic of chatting can't always let the experience during the holiday, everyone is very curious about each other's summer vacation, what happened in various ways? All kinds of interesting stories.

Some people also looked at me, probably because they were curious about why magicians wear the magic pattern structure, and because they don't know me very well, they resisted asking.

At this moment, a loud voice came from under the giant sculpture in the municipal square, as if some magical loudspeaker transmitted the sound to every corner of the square: "Everyone, please be quiet, and all young people present, please pay attention! Everyone line up, I believe that the self-discipline of young people in your world is better than that in the upper world, keep a distance of four feet between each other, move quickly, children!"

So we followed the instructions of the voice and started to line up quickly. Yingli and I stood in the group of magicians one after the other.

After a short period of chaos, everyone finally found their place. We stood in a row of squares and neatly stood in the square like morning exercises in the college.

The loud voice sounded again: "Well done, now I announce that the coming-of-age ceremony swearing-in activity has begun!"

"Please read the 'Oath of Adulthood' with me!
