The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

The heavy snow lasted for three days and three nights, and most of the Dawn Empire was shrouded in white.

The school gave the excited students a holiday, allowing them to go out and have fun without restraint.

Jiang Liujing was dragged by his roommates to play snowballs, and the fight turned into a magical melee. You hit me and I hit you back.

Somehow they were noticed by the people in the villa next door. Vita and Ignatius joined them very familiarly, and then Wen Xun said, "Why are you two joining in our dormitory team-building event?", and it turned into a four-on-two fight.

When Chi came back, the number of people in the fight escalated to five against two.

Ignatius initially maintained a bit of princely demeanor, but his image was soon shattered. With a face covered in snow, he roared, "Jiang Liujing, didn't you say you wanted to be my friend? Why did you hit me when you could have just hit Vita?"

Vita: “???” Damn you.

He suddenly turned to Ignatius and shouted angrily, "When did you become friends with him?"

Mo Ya picked up a snowball, rolled it up, and smashed it against Vita's forehead, shouting, "You're still thinking about this at this hour?"

Vita, who was very vengeful, ignored him and continued to chase Ignatius, asking stubbornly, "Speak!"

Ignatius was annoyed by him and said quickly, "I submitted it a long time ago. I submitted it during the freshman competition."

Vita, who had been sending Jiang Liujing a challenge for over four months after the freshman competition but had never received one, said: "..."

He quickly squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow and slapped it on Ignatius' face.

Ignatius was caught off guard and hit by Vita. His eyes widened instantly and he asked incomprehensibly: "Are you betraying us?"

Vita's face and voice were equally cold: "I'm going to hit you, traitor."

Holidays always pass quickly, and when the snowy days are over, students return to school.

Just halfway through the morning, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the school like a plague.

Jiang Liujing was listening to the teacher on the stage describe the evolution of human alchemy. If magic was a gift bestowed upon the continent by the gods, then alchemy was a unique collection of human wisdom.

He listened attentively, thinking of learning more in the future, but suddenly he felt a slight tap on his shoulder.

He turned around: "?"

Then a ball of paper flew over quickly from behind.

The timing of the catch was very clever. The teacher happened to have his back turned and did not notice the student's small movements.

Jiang Liujing took it doubtfully. What was so important that he had to be told now?

He carefully unrolled the crumpled paper.

It was obvious that the person who wrote was extremely excited. The ink-colored pen tip almost flew out of the paper, and after rubbing it, the blank space was stained with mottled ink stains.

There were only four big words written on a piece of paper: "Black Rock destroys the country!"

Jiang Liujing's breathing suddenly stopped.

Black Rock, he knew this country. The reason why he was rushed out of the Lost Forest by his grandfathers was because a war broke out between Black Rock and the Moon Shadow Principality, and Erlenst, which was very close, was also affected.

Once Black Rock is destroyed, there will be no more barrier between the Moon Shadow Principality and Ernst.

It's only been a few months.

He suddenly remembered that at the beginning of his school year, a student in his class had said that he was from Heiyan. He looked over at that student and realized that he was not the only one who had done the same thing. Most of the students in the Water Academy class had a good relationship with each other and remembered that this student's hometown was Heiyan.

At the end of their sight, the student's face had instantly lost all color, his lips were trembling, and he looked incredulous.

As soon as the teacher announced the end of get out of class, he rushed out quickly. Jiang Liujing recognized that it was the direction of the dean's office.

"I'm afraid he won't come back." Qiao walked up to his side without him knowing when, and his usually cheerful face was now gloomy.

He whispered, "I heard that the Moon Shadow Principality launched a massacre against Black Rock. Whether it was the soldiers, civilians, princes or nobles... no one survived."

He raised his head and looked in the direction where the boy's back disappeared. "Probably including his family as well."

Jiang Liujing was silent.

"Master Jiang, I remember you are from Ernst." Joe looked at him.

Jiang Liujing's identity was no secret. Every year, the champion of the freshman competition was the focus of much attention. The four months since the start of school were enough for them to confirm that Jiang Liujing was from Ernst.

This caused quite a stir at the time. After all, Ernst was a completely remote place compared to a place like the Dawn Empire, and many people previously thought that Jiang Liujing should have been born into some top power.

"If you can still contact your family, persuade them to leave quickly. Ernst is likely to become the next target of attack." Joe's voice was low and hoarse, as if it was mixed with a handful of gravel.

……

Joe finished speaking and left.

Jiang Liujing glanced out the window. The unmelted snow still lingered on the branches and leaves. A gust of wind blew past, and the snow fluttered to the ground, making the air even colder.

He tightened his grip on his sleeves, suddenly wanting to see Chi very much.

If Chi was by his side right now, he wouldn't suddenly feel so lonely.

The next day, as expected, they did not see the student from Black Rock in the classroom. Someone who was close to him asked the dean and was told that he had dropped out.

Some people speculated that he was going to seek revenge on the people of Moon Shadow Principality, while others thought that he was going back to Black Rock to collect the remains of his relatives. After all, the massacrer would not be kind enough to help collect the bodies.

He wasn't the only one to make this choice. Although Black Rock was only a small country, the Magic Empire Academy had accumulated hundreds of students from Black Rock over the years. They all tacitly chose to drop out that day.

The atmosphere in the school became very heavy because of this incident, especially when seeing the students from the Moon Shadow Principality around them, they felt particularly uncomfortable.

When Jiang Liujing passed by, he heard a lot of people pointing and talking about these students.

He had no time to care whether this behavior could be considered just. After all, he was also one of the potential victims of the Moon Shadow Principality.

He went straight to see Principal Laviere without making an appointment in advance, but the moment he opened the door, he saw the old man sitting at the table. As if he had expected him to come, he said to him without even looking up, "Don't worry, they can't do anything to Ernst for the time being."
