Dark Light: Magic Betrayed

Espina raised her head in surprise and saw that the ceiling of the auditorium seemed to disappear in an instant, and the vast starry sky appeared in front of everyone.

Esporna looked towards the high platform, and Principal Epps Damon said loudly: "Play music now! Let's all have fun and drink!!!"

I saw Professor Cadena suddenly waving her wand, and the stone statues behind her seemed to be alive. The stone statues holding instruments in their hands actually played moving music, and the stone statues singing loudly sang songs that were as impressive as nightingales.

Intoxicating singing.

Esperan looked down at the originally empty long table, and saw that the long table was piled with countless foods. Beef, roast chicken, pork, lamb, sausages, bacon and steak, as well as boiled tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and French fries.

, Yorkshire pudding, pear, carrot thick meat, dumplings, steamed buns and countless delicacies.

I saw Yi Tianshu opening a wine barrel, and a strong smell of hops and malt burst out instantly.

Espina curiously walked up to her and asked, "Hey, is this malt liquor?" Kimiro smiled and said, "How can underage people drink? This is Gwana, a kind of beer that we only have in the North.

Drink." After saying that, he picked up a wine barrel, opened it, filled his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Espina looked at the drink that was malt-like and beer-colored in confusion, and thought to herself: Is this really not wine?

Kimiro laughed and said after drinking: "Ha! Hahaha, it tastes good."

At this time, Fesali opened a bucket and smelled it. She smiled and said: "It seems to have a smell of fermented malt." Kimiro said excitedly: "It is indeed made of fermented malt. You

Try it and see how delicious it is."

Feisali filled her cup with the Gwana drink. Feisali took a careful sip, and then suddenly said in surprise: "It's really delicious, it tastes sweet, and it's like soda."

.”

Upon seeing this, Espoo was curious and opened a bucket. There was indeed a smell of fermented malt. When Espoo poured the bucket of Gerwana into a cup, she was surprised to find that the color of the drink was black.

Espina looked at the other three people in confusion and asked: "Why are yours all malt-colored, but mine is black?" Kimiro smiled and said: "Because yours is brewed from black malt.

There are two flavors of Gerwana, one is made of ordinary malt, and the other is made of black malt."

"Ah!" an exclamation came from other seats.

Espina looked around curiously and saw countless ghosts passing through the walls of the auditorium. They were emitting white light like pearls. They were seen in groups of one man and one woman, singing in the auditorium's stone statues.

Dancing in mid-air.

At this moment, a knight wearing armor and riding a ghost horse suddenly appeared on both sides of the aisle in the middle of the auditorium. At this time, a ghost lady in a dress slowly flew to the middle and showed the handkerchief in her hand to the knights on both sides.

Espina watched the scene in front of her intently, very curious about what would happen next.

I saw the ghost lady throwing the handkerchief. The moment the handkerchief fell to the ground, the knights on both sides immediately rushed towards each other with lances in hand. The moment the two guns were exchanged, one was shot down and dismounted, and his horse

He disappeared through the auditorium door.

The fallen knight saluted the ghost lady and then chased the horse. The victorious knight rode up to the ghost lady and picked her up on the horse into his arms. Then the two of them rode into the air.

.

"Isn't it a wonderful story?" A voice came from the table.

Espoo looked back and was startled to see a head on the table.

Yi Tianshu said with some complaints: "Knight Lacre, can you not scare people so much?" Fesali and Kimiro also nodded and said with some complaint: "Indeed, Knight Lacre, you always scare people.

"

I saw Knight Lacrae smiling and saying: "Happy New Year, kids. Scaring people is our favorite thing, haha."

Fesali shook her head helplessly and said, "You guys are so boring."

Knight Lacre looked at Fesali and said with a smile: "Indeed, I have been dead for thousands of years, how can I not be bored?"

At this time, Espina looked at Knight Lacre and asked: "Knight Lacre, you said the duel just now was a story?"

Knight Lacre looked towards the aisle where the duel had just taken place. He smiled and said: "This is a love story. Two knights fell in love with the same princess, so the two knights used a duel to decide who would win the princess's love.

"

Feisali asked with some confusion: "So who does the princess like?" Knight Lacre said with a smile: "At that time, no one cared about who the princess liked. Everyone thought that only the winner could get everything."

Kimiro said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "It's all feudal thinking." At this time, Knight Lacre looked at Kimiro with a smile and said: "Don't think so, this was indeed a letdown a thousand years ago.

A story that makes people's blood boil. After all, we cannot use today's thinking to judge the values ​​​​of a thousand years ago."

Kimiro nodded and said: "Indeed, Knight Lacre, what you said makes sense."

After hearing this, Knight Lacrae burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, I enjoyed chatting with you, and I even managed to scare you, hahaha." After saying that, he laughed and flew into the mid-air of the auditorium to attend the ghost's dance party.

Espoo shook her head helplessly. The moment she shook her head, Espoo accidentally discovered an interesting scene.

She quickly motioned to Feisali, Kimiro and Yi Tianshu to look in that direction.

I saw Mr. Hemu wearing a little red hat and holding his three-tailed cat, Mrs. Xingke, dancing slowly in the corner. And Mrs. Xingke was actually wearing a little red hat.

The four of them couldn't help laughing when they saw the scene in front of them.

Espina looked towards the high platform of the auditorium at this time, and saw professors holding wine glasses and drinking at each other. Professor Osifo was drinking and dancing there, doing difficult moves such as back flips. Love

Spooner couldn't believe the scene in front of her. A professor who was as tall and fat as a ball was actually doing a backflip.

Professor Wovina just watched all this quietly, and then she slowly stood up and walked to Principal Epps Damon and whispered a few words. Principal Epps Damon just nodded, and then

Professor Wovina left the auditorium.

Immediately afterwards, professors quietly left the auditorium from time to time. Espina was curious to find that the professors who left were all teachers in charge of various regions.

As the seconds passed, the clock came to eight o'clock in the evening.

Principal Epps Damon slowly walked to the podium and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can now go to various areas of the school to experience the charm of different magic areas. The food in the auditorium will be reserved for you.

, you can drink to your heart’s content at any time, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!”

The students cheered when they heard this.

At this time, Espina saw the students leaving the auditorium in twos and threes. Espina looked at the other three and asked, "Where are we going? Come on, let's talk."

Fessaly thought about it and said with a smile: "I don't care, as long as we all go together." Kimiro looked at Fessaly and nodded silently. At this time, Yi Tianshu thought for a while and said: "Now is the time.

At eight o'clock, there will be New Year's Eve fireworks at 12 o'clock in the evening. This period of time is enough for us to visit several areas."

At this time, Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "How about we just visit all the areas of the school in this order?"

After hearing this, Espina counted happily: "Okay, okay, and then we will go to the school plain." Feisali also said excitedly when she heard this: "That's great. I heard that it is the best place to watch fireworks."

Great location.”

So the four of them hit it off immediately and visited the entire school in order from southeast to northwest to experience the charm of the magic areas.

Espina, Feisali, Kimiro and Yi Tianshu went to the east side of the school. Professor Jin Yue was in charge there, trying to show the students the charm of the Eastern Middle-earth New Year as much as possible.

When the four of them came to the east corridor of the school, there were many people wearing different clothes coming and going, playing and playing.

Espner discovered that there was a red animal cutout stuck on the surrounding glass, which looked like a mouse.

Esperna came to a piece of paper-cutting and looked carefully. She saw that the mouse seemed to be holding a peach and looking up into the distance. The entire paper-cutting was lifelike.

Espina curiously touched the peach in the mouse's hand. The paper-cut mouse suddenly hugged the peach into its arms, and then turned to the other side to prevent Espina from touching it.

Espina looked at the little paper-cut mouse in great surprise. Then she turned to look at Yi Tianshu and asked: "Yi Tianshu? What is this?"

Yi Tianshu smiled and walked to a piece of paper-cutting and said: "This is the magic window paper. It is a must-have decoration for the New Year in the magic area of ​​Eastern Middle-earth."

Upon hearing this, Feisali also moved closer and looked at the little mouse carefully, and then curiously touched the peach in the mouse's hand with her fingers.

As soon as the peach is touched, the mouse hugs the peach and turns to the other side. As soon as the peach is touched, the mouse hugs the peach and turns to the other side. It is very interesting to repeat this.

At this time, Fesali looked at Espuna with a wicked smile, and Espuna understood instantly. The two of them stretched out their fingers and touched both sides of the paper-cut at the same time.

The moment it touched the paper cut, the little mouse on the paper hugged the peach and turned to the other side, but there were also fingers on the other side. It was spinning back and forth like a top.

At this time, there was only a "bang" sound, and a puff of red smoke rose. I saw that the little paper-cut mouse came to life.

It holds its beloved peach and walks under the feet of students coming and going in the corridor.

"What?" "Ah!" "Who stepped on me!"

Shouts of surprise came from the corridor.

I saw the paper mouse rushing towards a glass window without any decoration. It jumped up high and slammed into it. At the moment of contact, there was another "bang" sound.

The originally undecorated glass had a mouse cutout on it.

Espina and Feisali laughed loudly. Yi Tianshu looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Kimiro looked at Yi Tianshu and asked curiously: "Why are they all mice and no other animals?" Upon hearing Kimiro's question, Espina and Faisalli looked at Yi Tianshu.

Shu.

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "This is the rat in the Chinese zodiac. This year is the Year of the Rat where we live, so we will put rat paper-cuts on the glass."

Yi Tianshu continued: "Others include Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit, Chen Dragon, Si Snake, Wu Horse, Wei Sheep, Shen Monkey, You Rooster, Xu Dog, and Hai Pig, a total of twelve. Representatives.

Twelve months also represent twelve hours. Anyway, twelve is a very important number where we are."

At this time, Yi Tianshu said: "Okay, okay, there is something else behind." After saying that, he led the other three people to continue walking back.

After a while, the four of them came to a hall filled with various lanterns.

At this time, the hall was crowded with people. Everyone looked up and stared at the lantern, as if there was something above it.

Espina also looked up and saw a red ribbon underneath the lanterns, with a different line of text written on each ribbon.

Espina looked up at the nearest lantern and saw it read: "Wearing warm-soled boots, a mountain beard. Working as a patrolman at night, squinting day and night (name an animal)?"

Espina curiously pointed to the words on it, then looked at Yi Tianshu and asked: "What are the words on this?" Yi Tianshu smiled and said: "This is a lantern riddle. There will be a reward for guessing it correctly. You

Guess what.”

Espoo thought about this riddle carefully: Wearing warm-soled boots? Does it mean hair on the feet? Beard on the side of the mouth? Has a beard? What does it mean to be a patrolman at night and squint your eyes day and night? Espina is puzzled.

Answer, scratching his head in confusion.

Fesali looked at Espina and suddenly smiled and said: "Espina, the answer is cat."

Before he finished speaking, the red ribbon under the lantern was suddenly rolled up and retracted into the lantern. Then the lantern emitted a bright red light, and a paper phoenix flew out, and then flew in front of Feisali.

Yi Tianshu signaled Feisali to open her hand. Feisali slowly stretched out her hand and saw the paper phoenix fell into her hand and turned into a mahogany felt.

At this time, the red light of the lantern dimmed and a new red ribbon was spread out from under the lantern. Espina quickly looked at it and saw this sentence written on the ribbon: "He has a fat head and big feet, like a big fool. His limbs are short and short."

He is thick and likes to wear a black coat. (Name an animal)"

Before Espuna could even begin to think about it, she heard Kimiro say without hesitation: "The answer is a bear."

Before he finished speaking, the red ribbon under the lantern suddenly rolled up again and was put back into the lantern. Then the lantern glowed bright red again, and a paper phoenix flew out, and then flew in front of Kimiro.

Kimiro stretched out his hand and the paper phoenix fell into his hand and turned into a whistle.

Upon seeing this, Espina quickly said: "Give me the next one, don't tell me." After saying that, she stared at the lantern intently.

A new red ribbon was rolled out, and Espina quickly looked at it. It read: "It looks like a bird, but not a bird. It has wings but no feathers. It has an ugly face. It loves to fly at night (name an animal)."

Espina's little head turned rapidly, like a bird but not a bird, with wings and no hair. What on earth is this? At this moment, Yi Tianshu was about to open his mouth to speak, and Espina glared at him fiercely. Yi Tianshu smiled.

She shrugged and motioned for Esperanto to continue.

Espoo was thinking hard, and then a word came to her mind.

She said without hesitation: "The answer is bats."

At this moment, the red ribbon under the lantern was suddenly rolled up and retracted into the lantern, and a red phoenix flew out.

Espina jumped up and down happily and then stretched out her hands. She saw the red phoenix slowly flying into her hands and then turned into a comb. Espina looked at the comb carefully. It was as white as white jade.

generally.

Yi Tianshu clapped his hands and smiled: "Congratulations on finally guessing it." Espina looked at Yi Tianshu with the comb and smiled without saying anything. Then the four of them looked at the lamp and guessed the lantern riddle on it.

I don't know how long it took, but a voice suddenly shouted: "Come on, the dance has begun." Then everyone slowly walked towards the direction of the voice, Espina, Fesali, Kimiro and Yitian.

Shu also followed the flow of people curiously.

After a while, they came to a huge classroom, which was half the size of an auditorium. At this time, all the seats in the classroom had been removed, forming an open space, and there were three seats in the four corners around it.

A big drum. Not far away, there were many students wearing beautiful long skirts holding various strange musical instruments, sitting on benches and preparing to play.

Espina looked at the clothes they were wearing curiously. She approached Yi Tianshu and asked, "Yi Tianshu, what are they wearing?"

Yi Tianshu looked at it and said with a smile: "I remember it's called a double-breasted skirt."

At this time, Yi Tianshu suddenly looked at Espuna and asked: "Do you like it?" Espuna stared at the group of girls intently and nodded and said: "I like it, so beautiful. Who doesn't like it in their hands?"

What instrument is it?”

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "Pipa, chimes, Xiao, flute, zither, harp, sheng." Yi Tianshu said the names of the instruments in their hands one by one.

"Dong dong dong!" At this time, the big drums in the four corners began to beat rhythmically, and then the female students wearing double-breasted skirts began to play the instruments in their hands. Then a beautiful and unusually rich music sounded.

resounded throughout the classroom.

At this time, Espina closed her eyes and listened quietly to the sounds from the sky, as if she could feel mountains, lakes, and the rolling river appearing in front of her eyes.

At this time, Yi Tianshu patted her and said: "The dance has started, look." Espuna quickly opened her eyes and looked towards the middle.

I saw two boys in long robes walking out from both sides. One of them was holding a magic wand, and the other was holding a fan. At this time, a heavy drum sound came, and the two of them turned the magic wands in their hands into swords at the same time.

, began to dance to the beat of the drums, and the two people's movements seemed to be at war amidst the strong music, but they did not touch each other's weapons.

Yi Tianshu explained in a low voice: "This dance is like the ballroom dance you have there, but two people dance to each other, and one person passes the other. And while expressing the dance, you can't touch each other, and you can't touch the weapons. This is a big problem.

avoid."

At this time, Espoo saw one of them stepping on the music point and suddenly turned the sword in his hand into a wand, and then stretched out his right hand to signal the girl next to him to come on.

I saw this girl wearing an exquisite double-breasted skirt, holding a jade-bone white fan in her hand. Then with a heavy drum sound, I saw her suddenly opening the fan and covering half of her face, then stroking the white gauze beside her shoulders to slowly

Slow down, and the music at this time becomes extremely soft.

When the man on the field saw this, he quickly changed the sword in his hand into a fan and changed the dance style.

At this time, the two parties were like butterflies and birds, dancing against the background of the music. After a while, she turned around and accurately integrated with the drum beat, while the boy was obviously slightly inferior. The boy saw this and stretched out his right hand.

Pass the dance to another boy.

At this time, another heavy drum sound came, and then the music changed again, becoming extremely fierce and fast. I saw the girl suddenly turned the fan into a machete, and the boy who was passed to the dance also jumped

And step on the drum beat.

Although the girl is wearing a double-breasted skirt, it still does not hinder her heroic dancing posture. On the contrary, she has formed an aura of strength and softness, and is not inferior to women.

After an unknown amount of time, after five heavy drum beats, the dance came to an end. Everyone present cheered and clapped their hands in praise. It was the first time for Espuna to see the ballroom dance of Eastern China, this unique dance.

She was deeply moved.

Just as she was reminiscing about the dance just now, Fesali suddenly pulled her outside. Yi Tianshu and Kimiro had already arrived outside the classroom.

Espina asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Fesali? What's wrong?"

Feisali said with a smile: "Why are you so fascinated? The New Year's Eve fireworks show is coming soon. Let's go to the plain outside the school together, where the view is the best."

Espina looked at Fesali in confusion, and then looked at the wall clock in the classroom. It was already half past eleven. The New Year's Eve fireworks were about to start.

So Espina, Fesali, Kimiro and Yi Tianshu quickly ran towards the plain of the school together.

Along the way, Espina was a little depressed and thought: "Why did you spend so much time in one place? I really want to visit other areas." But then she thought about how she would live in school for eight years, and she would definitely live in the school for eight years.

You can see all these areas.

Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but feel beautiful in her heart.
