The Dean Has Arrived

Riddle Wise had just celebrated his ninth birthday.

As a farmer's child, Riddle will continue to spend countless birthdays in this small village surrounded by wheat fields-maybe he will join the village's self-police force or open a grocery store when he grows up, but The only thing that is certain is that, if there is no accident, this little boy with beautiful flaxen hair and amber eyes will never leave this small village for the rest of his life.

Even Her Majesty the Queen of Huo Lian has adjusted the taxation of the farmers so that they can get rid of the previous life of hungry and full, and even have a little copper dime left every week to go to the tavern Spanking and chatting, but this kind of small money is still too little, and you can't feel it in a small village. Once you arrive in a big city, you may buy something casually and it will be exhausted.

In the nine years of his life, the only time Riddle left this small village was a year ago, when his father took him to the city to buy a new hog-tooth for arable land when the family had saved enough money.

That's right, if there are no accidents...

"Dad, that bird is coming again."

Little Riddle, who was catching bulletworms (insects similar to grasshoppers and can be used for fishing) outside the house, suddenly pointed to the big tree with dense branches and leaves and shouted.

Among the dense canopy, a large bird with a snow-white body and a length of about 60 centimeters can be vaguely seen.

Father Wise, who was harnessing the iron plow to the hog-toothed beast, didn't have much reaction to this.

And those magical technologies are developed, and the magic elements are highly active. Unlike the cities that caused the frequent appearance of monsters, the frequency of monsters in this small village is not high, but some wild beasts that ruin crops often circle around the village.

Although he had never seen that big, snow-white bird that looked a bit like an owl before, it was probably just a bird that had just come to the village to nest recently, and although the bird was quite big, The wingspan even reached more than one meter. However, no hurtful news came out, and he didn't take it seriously.

If it was normal, Father Wise might try to catch it. But now the season of summer ridge wheat has arrived, if you miss it, you will lose a lot of crops in autumn, and it will be all money! So when he was too busy with his business, how could he care about catching birds for the children. After a few perfunctory words, he drove the hog-tooth out.

Little Riddle didn't think so. Although his parents didn't believe it, the big bird had been around him for several days, staring at him with bright yellow pupils.

Does it want to fly with me? Not only did little Riddle not have the slightest fear of this because of the nature of a child, but he also had a sense of expectation. But the big bird obviously didn't have this kind of thought. It just stayed on the branch and continued to observe little Riddle under the cover of the branches and leaves.

After throwing stones at the big bird but failing because of too little arm strength, the playful little Riddle immediately put it behind him and continued to do other things.

A few more days passed. When the boy got used to watching the big bird, he suddenly found that the big bird was gone.

His friends were very sorry for this.

Although the big bird didn't move much, it looked very mighty and heroic, and it looked majestic. The sparrow, which was always chirping and making people upset, didn't even dare to squeak beside the big white bird.

"I should have found a way to catch it if I knew it earlier. How handsome is that falcon of Lord Lante! That big bird will definitely be no worse than that crooked beak after training!"

The opinion of a certain brat got the support of most people.

"That's a cat-faced falcon, a mouse catcher, right? Are you going to train a hunting bird that only catches mice?"

A little guy who couldn't understand the smug face of the brat retorted, and immediately the two started to quarrel in cliques.

"I think the meat of that big bird must be better than chicken. If you catch it, you should roast it!"

A foodie kid expressed his opinion in the storm of his friends, and was sprayed with saliva by the two sides.

Although Riddle didn't express any opinion on this, he felt that the opinion of the brat was the best. Also feeling a little lost about the sudden disappearance of the big bird.

Could it be that someone took him away? There are many masters in catching birds in the village.

But soon he put this little disappointment aside, and ran to catch the spiders with his friends laughingly—every time someone would come from the city to collect living spiders and spider silk , it is said that this is a spellcasting item prepared for magicians. Although the selling price is not high, it is also one of the few sources of pocket money for these children whose families do not give pocket money .

The next day, when little Riddle walked out the door with a stretched waist, he found that big bird appeared again.

However, this time Big Bird brought a letter wrapped in good letter paper and sealed with a wax seal. No matter how you look at it, it should not appear in this kind of rural letter.

Neither the Wises nor Riddle could read. They took the letter and ran all the way to the village head's house at the entrance of the village, and asked the village head to read the letter to them before they knew what was inside.

[Dear Mr. Riddle Wise:]

[We are pleased to inform you that you have been approved to study at Edric Academy of Magic. 】

【Our semester will start on the 31st of Acorn Month (July). Before that, we will wait for the owl—the big bird at your door—to bring your reply. 】

[If you decide to study in this college, please bring the admission notice in the envelope with you after replying to the letter, and wait for our transportation at your door on the 30th of Acorn Month. 】

[Finally, I wish you happiness. 】

At the bottom of the letter paper, there is also "Vice President Sophia Lange" and a ribbon-shaped coat of arms similar to the sealing wax seal.

In addition, the letter on the envelope reads "Huolian Empire, Province of Evansat, Modrian Village, the third house from the west, received by Mr. Riddle Wise from the hut in the south", and the sender wrote It is 'Sky City, Edric Academy of Magic, Dean Xi Wei? Edric sent'.

Regarding this letter, the Wise family was like the daughter of a cake shop who was suddenly notified that she was going to become a princess. Everyone except Riddle, who didn't know why, fell into a state of shock.

Even the well-informed old village chief couldn't help being amazed—he was also someone who had seen the market, so he naturally knew how popular the magic academy was. So far, people who want to learn magic have taken the initiative to go to the magic academy, or This is the first time I heard that a school of magic is actively looking for students.

Looking at the strange expressions of his parents, little Riddle had an inexplicable feeling that maybe he had already booked a future long ago, and started galloping in another direction... . )
