Mage Joan

Joan asked Aunt Barbara to help pack the purchased food onto the sleigh, borrowed letter paper, quill pen and ink bottle from Auntie, and wrote a message to Mr. Jason Dindale on the counter of the grocery store. .

The current mayor and sheriff of Delin Township, Jason Dindale, runs a sawmill. He has always been interested in the black oak tree in the Joan family forest. He had intended to buy the black oak tree for 1,000 gold Durga. , But Old Man Tyre and Joan had no intention of selling.

Now that the situation has changed, Joan will go to Leiden Harbour in two months to study, but the tuition has not yet arrived, and the old man is not easy to care for, and it is difficult to take care of such a large forest by himself. Before that, he sold the black oak tree to help his grandson raise some tuition.

When Joan wrote the letter, he left the grocery store, dragged his sledge and walked to the end of the street, crossed a small stone bridge, and saw a plant on the banks of the Dring River in the distance, with a tall waterwheel erected by the river and erected water The wheel is twelve feet high, and it rotates day and night under the impact of the river water, providing a natural power for the riverside wood processing factory, driving a huge chain saw to cut the round wood and processing it into regular wood.

The Dingdall’s house was next to the sawmill, and a green painted mailbox was erected in front of the door. Joan walked lightly to the front door, stuffed the pre-written letter into the mailbox, and dragged his sled home afterwards.

Early the next morning, Qiao An just got up to wash and suddenly heard the barking of dogs outside the door. A glance went out, and the two figures were coming towards this side. Jamie initially thought he was a stranger and growled alertly, but soon recognized that the other party was an old friend and greeted him with a wagging tail.

"Good morning, Jamie!"

A short boy waved to Jamie and squatted down to hug the half-breed winter wolf intimately. The short boy was followed by a boy with six or seven points similar to his appearance, taller and thinner. Joan recognized at a glance that they were the two sons of the mayor’s family, the shortest was the eldest son Dick Dindol, the tallest was the second son Roger Dindol, the two brothers were Joan in Delin The only friend.

The Dingdall brothers are older than Joan, and joined the town's militia company as a young security team after graduating from elementary school. Dick is 16 years old this year, strong and powerful, good at battle axe, Roger is 15 years old, quick response, is a small and famous "shooter" in the town.

Dick had a bold personality. After meeting, he gave Joan a "bear hug". He also picked him up and turned around two times before putting it down. He counted him angrily: "Why don't you go to my house! Why are you so close, Do you still need to write a letter? You can't shout it out of the door, I really can't understand you!"

The thoughtful Roger knew Joan's strange temper more, patted the elder brother's shoulder, and stopped him from nagging.

"Joan, let's cut the trees! Let's finish the work early, and we can spare some free hunting." Dick picked up his axe and hurried toward the woods behind the house.

Joan and Roger quickly followed. On the way, Roger asked Joan about Leiden College. I don’t know where he learned about the high tuition fees. In private, he pointed to Joan: "If you have tight hands, you can borrow money from my dad. The mayor will not refuse to fund a Promising young mage."

Joan is very grateful for Roger's concern, but he does not intend to borrow money from anyone including the mayor. It is more than two months before the start of school, but where there is still a glimmer of hope, he would rather raise tuition by his labor rather than owe the graciousness of others.

The three young men talked and laughed all the way, and came to the forest hut after half an hour. Dick entered the house and drank a large bowl of water. He wiped his mouth and continued on the road. When he saw the black oak tree in the distance, he couldn't help but grin to the side, and rushed up with an axe.

Joan inadvertently glanced at the snow-melted ground floating with python-like roots, and quickly reminded Dick to watch his feet. However, it was still a step late, and the reckless Dick had tripped over the roots, staggering and falling under his feet, and the axe in his hand fell to the ground, almost cutting off his big toe.

"Joan has said to make you pay attention to your feet. Are you listening, Dick? Forget it, let me come!"

Roger felt deeply helpless about his brother's frizzy style. He picked up the axe and walked leisurely to the black oak. He held the axe in his hands and was about to cut down the trunk. He felt inexplicably sleepy and had to put down the axe for a while. Big yawn.

"Strange, I suddenly feel so sleepy..." Roger couldn't resist the tiredness that came from the mountains and the sea, and dropped his axe and said vaguely, "Let me take a nap first, and it's not too late to cut the tree after a short nap." Speaking, he sat on the floor under the tree, leaning against the trunk to fall asleep soundly, and also made a heavy snoring sound.

"Roger Roger! Why did you fall asleep? Hey, I also said that I am frivolous, you are more nonsense than me!" Dick laughed.

Joan couldn't laugh. The Dindal brothers have not found the atmosphere in the forest today to be particularly strange, and Joan is sensitive to signs of abnormality. Although Dick was reckless in his work, he would not wrestle on the ground for no reason. Roger has always been calm and calm. How could he fall asleep on the muddy snow? Joan had to suspect that there was some kind of supernatural power in this forest, which was preventing the Dingdal brothers from cutting down the black oak in a unique way.

Just when he secretly wondered, there was a rapid footstep behind him, and the dog barked quickly from far to near, and Conti hurriedly followed with Jamie.

Kandy ran all the way, panting, her pretty face flushed, her forehead covered with crystals of sweat, and from afar she saw Dick carrying an axe to the black oak tree, and hurriedly shouted "Stop!"

Dick turned his head and looked at Kandy in confusion: "Miss...Who are you? I have never seen you in town..."

"She's Kandy, my friend." Joan introduced.

"It's so strange, I didn't expect Joan to have a girlfriend like this introvert!" Dick grinned.

"It's not what you think..." Joan's powerless excuse.

"Don't talk about that, are you going to cut this black oak tree?" Kandy stared at Dick, his face full of anger.

"Yeah, but you can rest assured that we didn't cut it in vain. Joan sold the tree and got a thousand bright gold coins from my dad."

Dick rubbed his thumb and index finger with a smile, making a gesture of counting money.

"That's not okay!" Kandy turned to look at Joan, pleading in his eyes, "Don't cut this tree!"

"Why?" Dick hurriedly asked.

"The black oak is a symbiotic plant of Mila. If the tree is felled, Mila will die!" Kandy said eagerly.

"What are you talking about? What the **** is'Mila'!" Dick touched his head, his face blank.

"Mila is a young sapling," Joan added cautiously, "I haven't seen it, but Kandy said she had seen it on the black oak tree."

"Huh? Shu Jing?" Dick laughed. "Miss, wouldn't you be teasing me? The Shu Jing is only a fairy tale. Only the most childish children believe that they really exist in the real world."

"You are wrong. The tree spirit is not a fairy tale. She is in this forest, right in this tree. You can't see her, it doesn't mean she doesn't exist." Kandy said angrily.

Dick scratched his head and looked at Joan helplessly.

Kandy's eyes turned to Joan, and he said seriously: "I know you are forced to sell this tree in order to raise tuition fees. Anyway, it is sold to everyone, so it is better to sell it to me!"
