Wizards of the North

Today is the Red Moon Festival. The round moon seems to be pressing from the sky to the ground. The ground covered with moonlight seems to be covered with a layer of silver frost, but if you look up at the moon, look a little longer and you will find that the moon is faintly red. . For Beidi, the Red Moon Festival only represents the time node of the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, so you don't need to care.

Bran, who is usually energetic, felt a deep sleepiness today, so after dealing with dinner, under the helpless gaze of his parents, he returned to the room early to rest.

When the moon hung on the window, Bran, who was sleeping, seemed to be disturbed by the moonlight. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at the moon in the window. The black cat Huahua, who was curled up on the bed, squatted beside Bran's head at no time, and watched with him. It wasn't until the moon slanted west that Bran's face fell into darkness, and he fell asleep again, as if nothing happened.

Early in the morning, Bran woke up early in the morning, and while tidying up, he slumped and stretched out on the bed and said: "Last night I dreamed that we were looking at the moon together...". In the interaction with the black cat Huahua, Bran started a new day.

...

Bran, who was standing at the window, was a little depressed. For nearly a month, Bran would dream of watching the moon with Black Cat Huahua every day. This is not right, it seems to be a hint, but what does it imply? Thinking of this, Bran stretched out his hand and flicked the ears of the black cat crouching on the window sill, muttering to himself: "They all say that black cats are psychic. Try to be a psychic, stupid cat."

"Let's go, stupid cat." Bran greeted him, turned and walked out, thinking maybe he could find the answer from the scholar. The black cat crouching on the window sill jumped directly onto his shoulder, which made Bran staggered and complained casually: "Remember, you are already a little man, and I am still in my childhood. Okay, Although I am actually a man in my heart, you can't always ride on the head of the uncle." At this time, the black cat is close to 70 centimeters in length, showing his flexibility like a rogue, hanging on Bran like a dead snake. On Bran's body, his limbs went down respectively along Bran's shoulders. Rather than resting on Bran’s shoulders, it is better to press Bran under him. For Bran, this is really hard work.

The scholar of the castle is an old man named Sean, who has served the castle for many years, and he is also Bran’s enlightenment teacher. After studying for more than a year, Sean began to fall in love with this student. Although few words, but he has a very high talent in learning. In only half a year, the child can read and write independently. After that, the child will read a lot every day, then record and ask questions. Sometimes when faced with Bran’s weird questions, Sean often feels powerless. He praised Bran in front of the duke and his wife more than once, and suggested that the duke train Bran as a scholar, and enter the scholar's holy land-the city of wisdom when he grows up.

Sean lives in the lounge in the library on the second floor of the castle. The lounge area is not large, with an area of ​​more than ten square meters, it only has a bed and a table. In most cases, Sean would sit at the huge square table at the entrance of the library to write and record. According to Sean, he was recording all the things he could record in the Northland.

Sean put down the pen, turned to look at Bran who was waiting quietly, and asked softly: "What's the matter? My child."

Bran talked about recent dreams and troubles, and Sean couldn't help but laughed: "Maybe you are about to awaken as a wizard."

"Wizard!?" Bran repeated surprised.

"Yes, wizard." Sean said with some emotion: "A group of lucky people with magical abilities are powers bestowed by gods. Don't worry, the awakening of power is accompanied by various signs and dreams. Some people dream of it. A drop of water, a snowflake, and a mountain. Each awakening ability is unique, but most of them will repeat a certain dream during a period of time before awakening."

"Awakening will only happen to underage children" Sean paused and then said: "Some abilities are very useful, and some may not know the specific role for the rest of their lives."

"How can it be considered awakening?" Bran asked.

"Your body will tell you, as if you can perceive your hands, your feet, at least as recorded in the book." At this point, Sean stood up and motioned Bran to follow. In the end, Sean pulled out a heavy book from the innermost shelf of the library and took a picture of Bran’s arms: "You can take a look at this book of magic."
