The day after the grand banquet, Sylutia declined the visits of other guests and walked alone in Green Fen's yard, looking at the places where he had lived before and the trees and flowers in Courtyard.
Occasionally, a maid would pass by, and they would salute the girl in awe, and then leave cautiously.
At noon, a relatively simple family dinner was held in the mansion. Only Green Fen's family was present, including Alanfude·Griffin, Mrs. Haye, Ecol, and Mr. and Mrs. Eliel.
Eliel married three years ago to Sheno, the second son of the famous Lancos family of Hodes Harbor. This young man is only 27 years old and has already entered the third level. He is very outstanding and handsome.
"Sir Hedra." When we met for the first time, the other party was wearing an indigo military uniform. He was straight and simple, and he stood out among the guests.
No wonder Eliel was fascinated by him. According to Ecol, when the Lankes family sent a marriage invitation, Eliel was immediately conquered by his charm and persuaded his father to agree every day.
Considering that the Lankes family not only has a long history, but also has a good family tradition, Alanfude and Mrs. Haye agreed to the marriage after discussing it for a while.
Currently, Sheno is the current battleship captain, belonging to Golden Cassia Fleet" under Golden Sheaf Horn", and is also one of the three major fleets under Golden Sheaf Horn" under Meteor Lake, with an excellent future.
At the family banquet, Mr. Alanfude sat at the head, Sylutia was on the right, Mrs. Haye was on the left, and further down was Mr. and Mrs. Eliel, and next to Sylutia was Ecol.
The six of them were chatting while dining. Mr. Alanfude would briefly ask about Ecol's current situation and how Eliel lived in Hodes.
In fact, the family members all know these questions. It was nominally Mr. Alanfude who asked them, but in fact, he introduced them to Sylutia.
"I am currently learning battlefield riding skills from Galba Knight, including lance tactics during charge, and training Sun-Radiance Breathing Technique"."
Blazing Sun "Breathing Technique of Aspect Power", Sylutia looked at Ecol, this nominal brother is now the third level, Blazing Sun. He has just advanced for a year, and his qualifications are pretty good.
Calculating his age, Ecol is now almost twenty-eight years old. He has good talent. In addition, Sylutia mailed a lot of things back. Green's Fen family has no shortage of corresponding resources and money. This allowed him to complete the advancement and reach the third level at this age.
Otherwise, you may have to reach the third level after you are thirty years old.
Although among the classmates and people Sylutia has come into contact with, this speed is already very slow, but Quebes is already among the top three among his peers.
Ecol has a bright and decisive personality, and may not be suitable to inherit Mr. Alanfude's merchant business, but as a Knight or warrior, he will be very good, and in this world, the status of high-level Transcendent is much higher than that of ordinary businessmen.
Eliel is still at the second level. Since getting married, her mind has not been on practice. It is said that now she spends her time on socializing and family affairs. Lankes is a big family, and the connections between relatives in the family are complicated. Although Eliel used to love socializing, it was mostly a form of fun among young people, but it involves the family's sophistication, exchange of interests, etc., so she is a novice.
Fortunately, because of Sylutia, no one in the Lankes family dares to embarrass her at present. She is in a good environment. She is currently studying with Mrs. Lankes, who is the mother of Sheno and also manages the main affairs of the family.
Sylutia Listening to their stories, I slowly understood the changes in myself in the years since I left.
On the other side, Sheno also introduced the situation of his "Golden Cassia Fleet". This newly formed fleet has twenty-six warships, including three sailing battleships and twenty-two frigates. Its main responsibility is to combat pirates and robbers in Meteor Lake. It will also occasionally attack and deal with large water monsters and Magic Creature that harm the route.
"Perhaps due to the influence of the change of wind season, starting from the second half of the year, the number of water monsters in Meteor Lake and Magic Creature began to increase. At present, when we have almost no rest, we often divide the fleet into three small teams to deal with the water monsters reported from various places." Sheno sighed.
"Are those Magic Creature powerful?" Sylutia was curious.
"Most of them are between the second and third levels. Occasionally there will be fourth-level ones, which need to be dealt with carefully. If a Fifth Order" water monster appears, you must report it to Golden Sheaf Horn" at this time, and specialized personnel will come to solve it." Sheno replied.
"The captains of the fleet's three main sail ships are all level 4. They have rich experience in dealing with them. They can handle ordinary level 4 water monsters Magic Creature."
"That's it." Sylutia nodded slightly.
Is it a water monster? She hasn't seen it with her own eyes, but Season of Sinking Fog is indeed prone to Magic Creature during this period. This is because of the relationship between Mist Shadow and Aspect Power, resulting in The boundary between World of Shadows and real Surface Continent is blurred and no longer clearly defined. Some Twilight Sea and Magic Creature may just cross in the fog and reach the real surface from World of Shadows.
After the meal, the family sat down in the mansion Courtyard, and then Ecol and Sheno had a swordsmanship sparring session. During the process, neither of them used Breathing Technique, they just exchanged sword skills.
It can be seen that the two are good at different points. Ecol's swordsmanship is faster and more violent, while Sheno's swordsmanship is more refined and concise, and the footstep movement is not much, and the foot plate is very stable.
A careful comparison will show that Ecol's fighting style is more suitable for horseback riding. It is the kind of swordsmanship that breaks out instantly and defeats the opponent in a very short period of time, while Sheno's swordsmanship is more suitable for a boat, with a stable stance and facing the wind and waves.
After fighting for a while, the two ended with a nod, and then the whole family applauded. The two also took the towels, wiped their sweat, and walked back with a smile.
They should get along well, Sylutia thought to himself.
Afterwards, the family went for a walk on the beach. During this period, Sylutia bought some small gifts for everyone, and then he also picked some things that he was interested in, such as the local blue seaweed "and Quebes Liuli".
After it was over, Sylutia went to Lighthouse alone on the beach to visit his former teacher Knox.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the waves hit the rocks, and seagulls and waterbirds flew over the water from time to time, making bursts of calls.
Not long after knocking on the white wooden door, Sylutia heard the sound of a roller sliding. Then two minutes later, the wooden door opened, and Sylutia saw Knox Mage who had been away for many years.
"Teacher Knox." The girl bowed respectfully and saluted.
Now the other party has completely white hair, is wearing a simple robe, and is sitting in a wheelchair. The muscles on his face are a little loose, but after seeing Sylutia, his eyes still show a bit of joy.
"You're back, okay." Then he turned the wheelchair and made way for Sylutia to come in.
Sylutia took small steps up the steps, closed the wooden door, and then pushed Knox's wheelchair forward slowly.
"I heard from Brennan yesterday that you are back." Knox said slowly.
"I didn't expect to come here today. In fact, I could spend more time with my family."
"Well, but teachers are also very important." Sylutia replied softly, and then pushed Knox to the third floor.
There are still large desks and various information books scattered around here. The yellowed drawings hanging in one corner are now covered with dust. Sylutia has seen many things before. It seems that not many changes have been made here over the years.
Knox asked Sylutia about the situation of the Mage Alliance. Sylutia did not hide anything, and learned a little from Let's start with Aslan District's studies, from Aslan District's experiences to going to the Thetis Academy, Western Mountains, going north to Kandra,
Then go to Mishir District, and finally there is the grand occasion about Silver Bell Festival" and so on.
In this way, Knox listened slowly, nodding from time to time, until the sun set and the sea outside Lighthouse became twilight.
Unknowingly, the time has come to night.
"Oh, is it so late already?" Knox opened his eyes and looked out the window.
"Sorry, it took you so long to talk." He raised his hand, and a faint ripple passed through, and the lights in the entire Lighthouse lit up, making it particularly bright.
"It's okay, there's still a lot. I'll come over and talk to the teacher tomorrow." Having said this, Sylutia thought about it and took out the book Chidi told him from Seven-Gradient Flower Hairpin.
"This is a gift from Mr. Chidi, saying he is grateful for your teaching back then." Sylutia took out the book.
"He is interested." Knox took the book and slowly ran his fingers across it.
"Actually, I can't remember his appearance now, but I have a vague impression of his name. I didn't teach in the school for a long time at that time, and I didn't have much teaching experience at that time. I guess my teaching was not good."
"I'm ashamed to say that you probably felt very embarrassed when you were studying with me." Many years later, Knox recalled the past and gradually realized that his teaching level was really not good.
Since Sylutia became famous, some Mage came to visit, and Quebes local children came to study with him, but the results were very poor. At this time, Knox finally realized the true level of his teaching.
It can only be said that Sylutia's talent is so good and his self-learning ability is extremely strong, so he can complete the basic course of the Mage system with him.
"This----" Sylutia wanted to say some comforting words, but he didn't know where to start. Some of the words of praise were too exaggerated and false, and it was not good to say them.
"However, I do feel the expectations and persistence for ideals conveyed to me by the teacher." Sylutia spoke slowly.
"Really? If that's the case, then I have nothing to regret." Knox nodded slowly.
His words were not polite, but he felt gratified from the bottom of his heart. After all, having such a student has surpassed many achievements in his life.
After that, the two talked for a while, and Knox urged Sylutia to go back and rest instead of staying here to accompany him.
"Teacher, I'll come back tomorrow." Sylutia said goodbye.
In the next few days, Sylutia spent time traveling back and forth to accompany Griffin's family and Knox. When he had time, Xilu Tia also helped Knox clean and repair the equipment in the tower, and installed the latest communication equipment, as well as the new Lighthouse lens.
After doing this, the entire tower took on a new look and was much wider and brighter.
Before leaving, Knox delivered a box of information to Xilu Tia.
"These are some of my research experiences and insights over the past twenty or thirty years. Although they may not be of great use, I still entrust you to send them to "Bionics School" in the future."
"Although I studied there and entered Sixth Order, I have been away since then and have not made much contribution to the school. I am very ashamed."
"I understand." Sylutia nodded and put the box of information away.
"You should stay at the Woodland Alliance for a few years. You can open it and take a look when you have time. There is no hindrance. In fact, it would be better if you are interested in these. But I know that you will be busy in the future and may not have time, so I don't force it."
Knox talked a lot, and finally stopped after thinking about it and realizing that there was nothing more to explain.
"Let's go." After saying that, he waved to Sylutia, and then Lighthouse's wooden door slowly closed.
Sylutia carried the wooden box, saluted the teacher and said goodbye, then turned around and walked towards the bottom of the cliff.
The gentle sea breeze blew, and the white skirt under the navy blue Uesugi billowed like tiny waves, occasionally revealing her beautiful calves and delicate ankles.
After walking a few hundred meters, Sylutia stopped and looked back. Under the gray-blue sky, the White Tower stood quietly. A little bit of lime on the outer wall fell off, revealing the bricks inside.
At the top of Lighthouse, a small black dot sat. Looking there, Sylutia raised his hand, smiled and waved again, and then walked towards the city below.
The next day, the huge camel got up again and led the team away from Quebes and headed south of Meteor Lake. It traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and finally arrived at the country in the hinterland of the Woodland Alliance, Eucalyptus Union".
This is a quite ancient country that has still not been baptized by Royal Authority. The people who rule this land are Witch and Wizard. They each control different large and small cities located in the forest Sea of Trees.
Today, this country is the capital of Forest of Incantations", one of the five major covenants. Representatives of various factions are stationed there, as well as Night Owl Legion" who specialize in patrolling the forest. This is a legion composed of Night Owl Magic Beast and Wizard, with strong combat power.
After arriving here, the camel slowly stopped, then squatted down, and the tall building on its back gradually approached the platform on the giant tree, allowing the Mage who arrived in the tall building to walk down slowly.
Standing on this platform more than 100 meters above the ground and looking around, there are big trees all around, dense and straight, with smooth white bark and a slight gray-blue tint, and slender and dense leaves.
Vincent followed his companion down, raised his finger, picked off a hanging branch and leaf, put it on his hand and observed it carefully.
"This is a eucalyptus tree, it should be a type of Blue Gum." He said the name of the tree.
"Blue Gum?" My companion came over, patted his windbreaker, and then thought of something.
"I remember that Blue Gum wood is a good material for making paper, and it's perfect for making books."
"I guess it was also with this in mind that we were placed here first. Among the five major covenants, the ones that are easiest to understand the Mage knowledge framework are the Wizard and Witch."
"However, Blue Gum is also poisonous."
On the other side, Sylutia and Bard arrived at the grand hall on Sea of Trees. It was like a dome hiding the tree crown. Through the curved branches, cracked sunlight shone in. The gray trunk floor was polished flat, and the huge ring-shaped growth ring in the center was visible.
A group of Witch and Wizard were already waiting in the lobby. They were dressed in different styles, some were avant-garde and bold, some were wearing ancient bone masks, some were holding silver holy Magic Staff, and some were holding long staffs made of tree roots.
However, the most eye-catching thing should be the woman standing in the middle with an extremely eye-catching temperament.
She wore a large Witch hat, and her black hair hung down, covering half of her face, revealing only one blue eye. This pupil seemed to have strange magical properties, and she could see the passing phantom of Flying Bird from inside.
Such special eyes made people unconsciously ignore her graceful and mature figure, as well as the side line of her skirt that was cut to the waist.
When Sylutia approached with some curiosity, the other party's fingers gently lifted the hair on the side cover, revealing a pair of blue eyes, and looked at the girl.
"Welcome~ A child is like a nestling returning home." Her voice had an inseparable sweetness, as if it could melt a person's bones.
As the words spread, the hall fell silent for a while, and then the sound of flapping wings came from outside the domed hall. Through the gaps in the branches, one could see Flying Bird flying through the forest, flickering in and out of light and shadow.
At this time, Sylutia also remembered the introduction of Bard Aelofis not long ago and knew the identity of the woman in front of him.
Jannolige, it is said that it can make big trees grow, Flying Bird who obeys orders, Blue Gum Witch, "her words and voice have the power" of magic, which can make people sink unconsciously.
