Throne of Magical Arcana

In the early morning, the night wind howled and the windows rattled. It was the time to hide in bed and enjoy the rare warmth silently.

But Ali, who was busy with the work of the "Violet" hospital, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He was confused about the future development path, felt alienated and distanced from the nobles who entered and exited carriages, alchemy cars, and aircraft, and doubted whether there would be corresponding gains after the struggle. , and uncertainty about life, all made his thoughts tumbling, and he couldn't calm down at all.

"Hey." Ali sighed heavily, turned over and sat up on the bed, put on his coat, walked to the only table in this narrow house, picked up the jar, poured a glass of weak ale into the cup, and gulped After drinking it, this poor-quality ale is the only "luxury" in his life.

Holding the wine glass, Ali walked to the window and sat down on the ground. Looking at the trees with few leaves swaying in the wind, they seemed to be shivering constantly, feeling a little desolate in his heart.

Outside his window is a quiet and deserted street. It takes a long time to see a carriage or alchemy car passing by, and the sound it makes even more brings out the silence and desolation nearby. On the other side of the street are relatively old buildings. , because it is the poorest civilian area, there are no gardens and other things at all.

But Ali is very clear that the owners of the surrounding houses have not lived worse than most Rentat citizens in recent years, and they are more leisurely, because they have keen eyes and found that with the earth-shaking changes in Rentat, more and more Foreigners came here, and the newly started alchemy workshops that lack manpower are constantly recruiting manpower, so they remodeled their houses and rented them to these outsiders at a relatively cheap price. Due to the large number of rooms, They also earn a lot.

——After alchemy workshops full of magic appeared one by one and made enviable achievements, the original textile guild felt a sense of crisis, and began to invite magicians who are good at golems and puppets to improve the current textile devices , After two or three years of exploration, the efficiency of textile machines has made an astonishing breakthrough, so the scale of the textile industry has also begun to expand, and the manpower required has gradually increased. Similarly, this has also brought down the price of textiles. Holm The people of the kingdom can finally afford to buy extra clothes.

After taking a sip of ale, Ali opened the window and felt the icy cold wind blowing in his face. He couldn't help shivering, and the depression in his heart slightly dissipated.

The silver moon hung high in the sky, cool and beautiful. Ali, who was drinking ale, suddenly saw the big dog next to him staring outside, looking at the direction of Rentat out of the city. There was a hint of urgency and longing in his eyes, so he smiled. He smiled and said, "Do you also feel confused about the future? Do you not know which direction to fight for?"

He was talking to himself, and he never expected the big dog to understand.

The big dog glanced at him coolly, didn't bark, and still looked at the direction of Rentat's exit from the city with "melancholy and longing", and fled the dangerous Rentat city as soon as he recovered from his injuries!

Ali turned his head, looked like a big dog towards Rentat's exit from the city, looked at the city wall covered with silver moon gauze, and sighed softly: "Although Rentat's city wall is tall, it is far less The invisible wall between nobles and ordinary people, it makes people dare not move forward, it is cold and ruthless, tall and strong, and cannot be crossed..."

He didn't try to organize the language completely, but directly expressed the emotions in his heart. After all, the audience is a dog.

"Is it true that ordinary people cannot enter the world of nobles? Why do everyone have eyes, a nose, a soul and a brain, and can think, but they can be naturally noble and look down on us? Is it because the quality of birth determines the whole world? Life?" Ali talked about his thoughts on the nobles and the common people. In the pain and wandering, he could only choose a direction between silently accepting the reality of being ruled by nature and questioning the nature of the nobles. Obviously, he was unwilling to be inferior forever. .

The big dog gave a low whimper, and finally turned his head to look at Ali, how childish!

The status of the nobility comes from the power they possess, just like the many strong men of the werewolf clan. This is an objective fact and will not change because some people question this situation. If you want to change, you can only gain more power yourself, and at that time, the nobles will welcome you to join their circle, so that you don't want to change this situation.

"You also agree with my idea?" Seeing that the big dog finally reacted, Ali felt a little better, and continued to babble: "Actually, I understand very well that if you want to break this invisible wall, you must gain enough respect from others." However, Rentat has too many opportunities in too many industries, so I dare not make a decision lightly, for fear of missing real opportunities, and the gorgeous carriages, alchemy cars, and flying machines I saw outside Mills School made me Feeling the distance, so far away that it cannot be crossed..."

He let out the emotions accumulated during this period in one breath, his mood improved a lot, he gradually became excited, and regained the vigor of a young man under twenty years old.

"After saying this, I have already made a decision. I don't know much knowledge except for writing. Maybe I can study while working in hospitals and alchemy workshops, but this kind of study has a weak foundation and cannot Let me know what I am good at and what I want, so I will save money to go to a liberal arts school." Ali stood up and said to Yinyue with a holy expression.

"I know that this road is very difficult, the distance is very long, and the walls are very tall, but it does not mean that there is no opportunity. Your Excellency Evans was born in a poor family, and he couldn't even afford enough food and clothing. However, he still relied on his own efforts and persistence. I have gradually become a musician, a music master, a magician, and a great arcanist! I also have the Queen’s gold coins given by my parents, and I will be able to save enough money to go to a liberal arts school in a few months. Compared with the situation of His Excellency Evans Much better!" Ali clenched his fists to encourage himself.

The story of Lucien is so legendary that it has been adapted into various stories by bards. It has been well received by nobles and commoners alike. It is a very inspirational series.

"Although I don't have the talent of Lord Evans to become a master in the fields of music and magic, as long as I work hard to learn knowledge, I will definitely succeed in the field I am good at!" Ali knew from the letter from his pen pal Jane that the current In the era of lack of talents, there are still very few people who know how to read and write, and the number of people who have learned all kinds of knowledge is even less to a certain extent. things to do.

And if you study well, you may be able to become a magician, knight, or other professions that can interact with nobles on an equal footing.

In this era, there will be no situation where knowledge is useless, so although learning is a waste of time, as long as you pass this stage, you will walk more steadily, more solidly, and go further and higher than others!

Ali, who had made up his mind, felt that Yinyue was more and more beautiful and dreamy, so he smiled at the big dog next to him in a good mood: "If I were a bard or the protagonist in a drama story, maybe I could awaken the arcane in the liberal arts school." And magic talent, know many friends, and finally defeat the demons and devils who plot to destroy the world, and become a legendary magician who changes the times. Hehe, in that case, you will also become the famous dog in the history books, the original partner of a great man !"

As he was talking, he let out an uh: "According to the bard's story, you should be a dog with a rich background and strength, a true magical creature. The encounter between the two of us made the wheel of fate turn slowly..."

As he spoke, he checked the big dog's body with great interest, and finally sighed: "Hey, you really are an ordinary dog."

When he was talking, he clearly felt a trace of "resentment" in the eyes of the big dog, eh, resentment?

The next day was Ali's day off. He ran around the city with the big dog, who was recovering very quickly, looking for another temporary job and trying to save enough money as soon as possible.

"A new alchemy workshop? Production of electronic tubes? What is this?" Ali suddenly saw an announcement, and out of curiosity, he took the big dog to the address of the alchemy workshop.

When approaching the alchemy workshop near the city gate area, Ali was surprised to see the big dog lower its head and leaned towards him.

"What's the matter, afraid that there are too many people?" He asked subconsciously, and then didn't pay attention.

This big dog was Nasder, and he was looking for every opportunity to escape from Rentat, but his reaction just now was due to something else.

"The disgusting vampire is coming to Rentat?" Nasder turned his head and looked at the figure in the crowd, "Hmph, you will definitely die in the dangerous Rentat City!"

After walking another distance, Nasder's eyes lit up, because not far away is the city gate area!

"As long as I escape, I can get out of danger!"

"This guy always treats me as a dog, and I'll find a way to give him some treasures in the future!"

Longing filled Nasder's heart, regardless of his body's complete recovery, he jumped out and ran fast, like a fish trying to return to the sea!

Fifty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters, the city gate is getting closer and closer, and Nasder is getting more and more excited.

boom!

There was a loud collision sound, and a speeding alchemy car stopped at the gate of the city. The owner of the car pretended to be angry: "Who has a dog? Did you suddenly rush to the road to murder?"

Ali stared dumbfounded at the big dog running wildly and being hit by an alchemy car because he couldn't dodge it in time. He spat out blood, his limbs twitched, and then remained motionless.

After he regained his senses, he hurried up to apologize, and the guilty car owner asked Ali to drag the big dog away after a few perfunctory words.

Looking at the big dog's body, Ali sighed: "It seems that we are really not partners who can turn the wheel of fate, but thank you for your company these two days, I have regained my confidence, and I will bury you properly. "

He dragged the big dog to the woods outside the city, buried it very seriously, and then continued his struggle in good spirits.

When Ali left, the "grave" suddenly opened, and a big dog that was about to die slowly came out.

"It's a good thing I'll pretend to be dead, and I finally left Rentat..." Nasder said in a low voice with pain all over his body, then he looked back at Rentat in the distance, and said fearfully and fearfully, "Rentat It's dangerous!"

"It must be reported to His Excellency the Prince truthfully!"
