Dark Light: Magic Betrayed

The two came to the school kitchen, where many house elves were busy everywhere.

Espina looked at what seemed like dozens of house elves.

At this time, a female house elf in a skirt came over. She bowed slightly and asked the two of them: "Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?"

At this time, Espina discovered that the house elf was wearing a name tag, which read: Lan Lan.

Esporna thought that should be her name.

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "Thank you very much. I need a short long table, as well as lantern paper, bamboo sticks and some candles."

The house elf smiled and said: "Those things are placed in the corner over there, you can choose by yourself." He pointed to the corner not far away.

Espina looked over there, and there were indeed many needed things neatly stacked there. Some students were even already picking.

Upon seeing this, Yi Tianshu immediately ran to the corner.

Espina looked at the house elf and asked, "Your name is Lan Lan, right?" The elf smiled and bowed to Espina and said, "Can you call me by my name?

I'm extremely honored. How can I help?"

Espina smiled and said: "Let me ask, I want four cushions. Do you have any here?" Lan Lan thought for a while and said: "Sorry, the cushions are sealed now because they are winter items.

The warehouse is in trouble."

Lan Lan then said: "So is a straw mat okay?" Espina asked with some confusion: "Straw mat??" Lan Lan explained: "A kind of carpet-like thing, woven from grass.

, it is very comfortable and cool to use in summer. How many of you can use it?"

Espina said: "Four people." Lan Lan nodded and bowed and said: "Please wait a moment, I will come soon." Then Lan Lan snapped her fingers and disappeared.

At this time, Yi Tianshu neatly arranged the things he needed on the table, and then used the levitating spell with his wand to make the table fly slightly. Then he controlled the magic spell and walked towards Espina, who smiled and said

: "It seems you don't need my help anymore."

While controlling the floating spell, Yi Tianshu looked at Epuna and asked: "Haha, don't you have anything you need? I can help you get it?" Espuna smiled and waved her hand and said, "Lan Lan

, you have already gone to get it for me and will be back soon."

"Lanlan?" Yi Tianshu asked doubtfully.

Espina smiled and said: "That's the house elf, her name is Lan Lan." Yi Tianshu asked in confusion: "How do you know the elf's name? Do you know how to read minds?"

Upon hearing this, Espina burst out laughing and said, "It says it on her name tag."

At this time, Lan Lan apparated back with a straw mat that was twice as tall as her. Lan Lan smiled and bowed and said: "Hello, madam, I brought the straw mat."

He handed the straw mat to Espina, who took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lan Lan."

Lan Lan bowed slightly and left.

Yi Tianshu looked at Espina holding the straw mat and said: "Here, put it on the table. I'll take it." Espina said a little embarrassed: "You took a lot, I can do this."

Yes, no need."

I saw Yi Tianshu put down the table without saying a word, took the straw mat that Espina was holding, then arranged it and put it on the table. Yi Tianshu waved his wand and used the levitating spell, and the table slowly flew up.

Upon seeing this, Espina also took out her wand and cast a levitating spell on the table. The two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

By the time the two arrived at the top floor of the beacon tower, Kimiro and Fesali had already cleaned the beacon tower.

Seeing them holding these things, Kimiro and Fesali took out their wands and used levitating spells to share the weight.

Yi Tianshu looked around and then pointed to an open space next to him and said, "Just over there." So the four of them placed the things there.

Espina looked around. The top floor of the entire beacon tower was more than ten meters wide, and in the middle there was a huge beacon gem floating in the sky one or two meters above the ground.

The Beacon Tower is the third tallest tower in the school, sandwiched between the Astrology Tower and the Principal's Building. The shape of the entire tower is like a castle in Wizard Chess.

And the beacon tower is located in the center of the school.

At this time, four people spread out the straw mats in a room, and the table was placed in front of the straw mats. Paper, bamboo sticks, candles and baskets were placed on it.

Kimiro asked curiously: "Yi Tianshu, what are these papers, bamboo strips and candles for?"

Espina smiled and said: "The one who makes lanterns." At this time, Yi Tianshu shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, it can't be called a lantern?" Espina was stunned for a moment and then asked curiously: "

What should it be called?"

Yi Tianshu lowered his head and placed the paper and bamboo strips in position while weaving them and said: "Actually, it should be called Kongming Lantern. Although some places don't call it that, it is all to express longing and blessings for relatives far away. When the moon comes

At the highest point, we will light candles, make wishes, and then release the sky lanterns."

Espina took a few bamboo strips and paper and started to weave it while saying with a smile: "I think it doesn't matter what you call it, the most important thing is your thoughts and blessings."

At this time, Fesali seemed to be thinking about something and then looked at Espuna and asked with some hesitation: "Espuna, can you teach me how to make a Kongming Lantern? I also want to write blessings." Espuna.

He stopped what he was doing and looked at Feisali, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Of course."

Kimiro looked at Fesali, then looked at Yi Tianshu and asked: "Can you teach me? Yi Tianshu."

"Of course." Yi Tianshu said while weaving the Kongming Lantern.

Kimiro asked curiously: "Yi Tianshu? Why is it called Kongming Lantern??"

Yi Tianshu did not stop what he was doing, but thought for a moment and said directly: "My family members said that it was invented by a very famous magician from the Zhuge family a long time ago. Some people also said that it was because of things like

That's what his hat says. Well, look."

Seeing that Yi Tianshu had made a Kongming Lantern, Kimiro looked at it and said with a smile: "It really looks like a hat."

At this time, Espina had also made a lantern, but it looked like a lantern and was completely different from Yi Tianshu's.

Yi Tianshu asked in confusion: "Espuna? It's a lantern, but? Who taught you that?" Espuna turned her head and said angrily: "Humph! An ancestral craft! As long as you can fly."

Yi Tianshu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you want." Espina looked at Yi Tianshu with an arrogant look and said with a smile, "That's right." Then she looked at Fei.

Sally said: "Come on, Fessaly, I will teach you."

Feisali smiled slightly and nodded.

Making Kongming lanterns is actually very simple, and Fesali and Kimiro soon learned it.

After a while, each of the four people made seven or eight Kongming lanterns.

Yi Tianshu saw that all the paper had been used up, then he came to the table, opened the basket and took out the pastries and food one by one.

Espina moved forward curiously and saw that there were many different kinds of cakes in the three-layer basket, including glutinous rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, sesame balls, peanut brittle and other cakes. Because the basket had a heat preservation charm,

The pastries are kept at optimal serving temperature.

At this time, Espuna saw a pastry that she had never seen before. She only saw a round pastry with many different patterns on it. Espina curiously looked at the pastry in Yi Tianshu's hand and asked:

"Yi Tianshu, what is this?"

"Ah?" Yi Tianshu was a little puzzled, and then he suddenly realized when he saw Espina looking at the cake in his hand. He said with a smile: "This, this is a moon cake."

Espina nodded in sudden realization, and then asked: "Yi Tianshu? What time should we release the Kongming Lantern?"

Yi Tianshu laid out the things, then looked up at the sky and said: "Nine o'clock, when it's nine o'clock, we will set off the Kongming lanterns together, and then eat cakes."

"Okay!" Everyone said with great anticipation upon hearing this.

In this way, the four of them sat on the straw mat and waited quietly for the arrival of nine o'clock.
