boy and bone

The clear cries of seagulls lightly skimming across the water harmonize with the far-reaching sound of the bell tower in the college at the other corner of the city.

The main castle of the college, which blends black and gold tones, inherits a classical architectural style. The appearance of the steeple of the college shows the lonely and widowed gods. From the tall narrow door on the side, people come out one after another, some alone. Some walked together, while others were not in a hurry to leave. They leaned against the long pillar beside the narrow gate in twos and threes, as if they were waiting for someone, and occasionally chatted with familiar people in a relaxed manner.

"Finally the exam is over."

"Magic science is miserable for me..."

"Me too, who knows what the hell the nest compound spell is, I've never heard of it, how would I know what the ratio of runes is in it!"

"The function of the nest compound technique is to heal the damaged part infinitely when the 'nest' is intact, and to proliferate a film on the damaged part, so as to achieve the effect of solidifying the part in a short time. The ratio of the runes is selected from the fifteen elements. The three types are mainly healing elements, calculated based on the standard mana consumption, and the auxiliary elements do not exceed 3 grams..."

"You did a good review! I'll be next to you during the exam."

"Xue Dong taught it in class. It's also written in the book."

"Where is it written?!"

"On page 389 of "Magic Quantity Control Fundamentals", the bottom line, the smallest line, is a note."

"He also takes the annotation?! The teacher is too uninteresting."

"Don't think about it, pack up and go home quickly, so as not to be called back by the school directors to make up the exam."

"No, I have to ask who else has not answered this question. If I am the only one who makes up the exam, it would be too embarrassing."

"Huh? Where's the ferret?"

"Haha, don't think about it, the ferret has written all the questions. I sat behind him during the exam, and I saw it."

"It's not necessarily right if it's full. I want to ask him personally, what about others?"

"He fell asleep on the table after the exam, and he was still asleep when I left."

"Wow, it's hard enough for him to work part-time besides studying."

"No, I haven't seen him go to work in the past two days. The bedroom door is locked for a day, and the knock on the door is answered through the door. It's mysterious."

"Mysterious? Is Oni Ranji mysterious? He doesn't attend classes, and he doesn't even come to exams. I think he doesn't want to finish his studies."

"We can't compare with others. They are the sons of the clan. They come here to study just for fun. They don't mind if they graduate or not. They don't have to do anything, and they will inherit the title. Can you do it?"

"You can save some morals, maybe in the future you will join the Knights of the Kiranji Clan and swear allegiance."

"Really, why should the Knights be under the control of the clan? The main job of the knights is to eliminate the curse and protect the stability of the world from the curse, and they are not the personal guards of his family... This rule is unreasonable."

"Because the clan pays you wages, and also gives you a good reputation, which is quite generous treatment."

"If you don't want to be restrained, isn't there a privately formed black cavalry group outside? It's not good for you to be a loose cavalry, fighting alone, and living off rewards."

"You have just come to the academy for more than a year, and you think that you will be so far away from graduation in five years?"

"Let's go, my mother is still waiting for me in my hometown. The carriage I rented is almost at the gate of the college."

"The ferrets haven't come out yet..."

"Isn't he studying abroad? He still has to work here during the holidays."

As he said that, the ferret looked tired, with half circles of bruises under his eyes, and walked out from the deserted black gold narrow door, he yawned: "Yeah... I still have to go to work."

"Ferret! You've figured it out!" A person actively embraced him: "Let me ask you, do you know the nest compound technique?"

The ferret's sleepy head thought for a while and replied: "This is an exam question. Nest closure means that when the 'nest' is intact, the damage can be healed infinitely..."

"Okay, I know you have all answered, I give up." The man interrupted disappointedly.

"What give up?" Ferret wondered.

Someone persuaded: "It's nothing, he just knew in advance that he would have to make up the exam. Don't pay attention to him, but you, hey, ferret, what have you been doing in the house recently? Close the door all day, and no one is allowed to enter the house." , mysteriously, didn’t you go to work?”

After someone mentioned it, the ferret suddenly woke up: "Oops!"

"I'll go first!" The ferret hurried to the direction of the dormitory, leaving the other peers full of doubts.

The ferret hurried back to his bedroom.Before the door was opened, there was a bang inside the door, as if something heavy fell to the ground.

The ferret opened the door and entered, and saw a boy wearing his old clothes rolling from the bed to the floor, lying weakly on the ground, with the weak arms under the short sleeves stretched forward, and the posture was intended to Reach for the teapot on the desk.

After the ferret turned back and locked the door, he quickly came to the young man. He took the teapot and filled a glass of water very sensiblely and positively, and handed it to the young man. The young man took the log teacup with both hands and drank it without any hesitation.

After drinking it all, the young man breathed a sigh of relief as if he had drunk it all, returned the teacup to the man beside him, and glared at him with nagging eyes, but the young man didn't know that his weak appearance had no deterrent power: "Just one morning, I'm going I just pulled it three times, thanks to your fried noodles. You wait until I get better, I will kill you first."

"It's my responsibility." The ferret knew he was wrong, and admitted: "Until your health improves, I will bear your medical expenses, and when I contact your family, I will tell you the truth. If you have any problems later, I will also bear it."

"No need!" The boy climbed back to the narrow bed by himself, and said, "I'm leaving this ghostly place of yours right now."

"You want to go?" The ferret was surprised with an imperceptible secret joy.

The teenager kept secret about his life experience, and he even threatened the ferret not to disclose his affairs to a third person.

After a few days of contact, the ferret could not get anything about him, whether he asked the young man openly or secretly.

Ferret intuited that this boy was not as innocent as he appeared on the surface.There is no innocent boy who lies naked in an alley where no one cares about him, no innocent boy who knows nothing about history but can speak fluent ancient Chinese, no innocent boy Will be full of old-fashioned swear words, bad temper and extremely unrefined...

Although Ferret's thoughts are full of kindness, it is a pity that as a person who can barely eat and wear, in order to maintain this initial kindness, he needs to pay far more than he can afford. Apart from himself, he has to pay more. To afford all the food and daily life of another stranger, and like a thief, you can't hand over a teenager with unknown history to the patrol team.

But since the ferret made people sick, he felt that he should bear part of the responsibility, so he was too embarrassed to open his mouth to push people away.

"Why, you still want me to blackmail you?" the boy asked back.

Contrary to Ferret's expectations, the boy was a little more reasonable and less rascal than he expected.

"The window here is so small, it looks like a prison cell. I don't want to stay longer." The young man sat on the bed, carefully remembering the appearance of this place in his mind.If the person who had picked him up was a wealthy family, Gray might have stayed here for a few more days with peace of mind, but the young man in front of him was already taking care of him beyond his means.

Gray didn't want to be said to be bullying honest people, he said decisively: "Is what I want ready?"

When the ferret came to his senses, he walked to the single-leaf closet against the wall, took out a pile of neat clothes and put them on the bed: "I bought the sandals at a second-hand market, and I used my tops and shorts. The clothes are cut out."

As long as the boy is willing to leave, he will save a sum of money even if he is frugal, and use it as a fund for the boy's journey.

"Here are two maps and a manual. One is a map of Fujindu, on which I have marked the location of the port and other checkpoints out of the city, and the other is a map of the entire territory of Ishakel. These two Due to time constraints, I only converted half of them into ancient Chinese, and you can refer to the remaining half in this ancient language handbook for the corresponding rules. After you have been familiar with it for a while, you should be able to understand the current common language. "The ferret also piled these three things on top of the clothes.

"The college holiday starts today, and there will be more strange faces entering and leaving the college these days. If you leave the college at this time, you don't have to worry about someone stopping you."

Gray listened to his explanation and took notes one by one.He quickly took off other people's old clothes, first put on the shame shorts, then picked up the neatly folded top, and put it on.

Naturally, the style of the clothes was something Gray had never seen before. It looked like a sack. He could recognize the short sleeves on both sides, and there was a round opening in the middle. Gray guessed that there was probably a place for covering the head. Put your head in it.I don't know if his head is too big, or the neckline is too small, the neckline of the collar is stuck on the bridge of Grai's nose, and he is suffocating.

The ferret naturally reached out to unbutton the three buttons on the collar of the clumsy young man, and the blouse slipped down easily, and Grai's breath suddenly became clear.

Seeing an outsider approaching Grai, the bone that Grai hid in the blanket on the bed immediately became vigilant. Fortunately, Grai knew that it had the same habits as the original owner. Sit on the blanket with your buttocks, and stop the behavior of the bones.

The ferret watched the young man put on his clothes one by one. Standing in front of him, the neat clothes set off the youthful face of the young man, which made people worry. The ferret looked at the young man as if hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked.

"Are you in danger by yourself?"

Gray said: "You are skilled, or else you will follow me."

The ferret didn't answer, and refused with a voice.

"I want to do good deeds, but I don't want to get into trouble. How can there be such a good deed in the world." Grae chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm alone now, with no relatives or enmity. No one will harm me when I walk on the street."

"...wait a minute." Then, the ferret walked to the desk and rummaged through the drawers.

Taking advantage of the moment the ferret turned around, Gray quickly pulled out the bone hidden in the blanket, and stuffed it into his clothes along the collar.

Bones was dizzy by Gray's violent actions, but he didn't dare to move, he just hid obediently under the cloth and hugged Grai's waist, if he didn't let it move, he wouldn't move, and Grai told him not to expose In the sight of outsiders, it can hide itself very well, as long as it is not separated from Grai, it is always well-behaved.

The ferret turned around, holding a small bag of money in his hand: "This amount of money may not be enough for four meals. But I only have so much, even if I pay you for the medicine."

Gray received it in his hand: "Has no one said you are too indecisive?"

"Yes." The ferret said honestly.

"Be careful, don't be relied on by others." After saying that, the boy turned and left without hesitation.As the door was lightly closed, the ferret was left alone in the narrow dormitory. There was nothing more or less in the shabby furnishings, and the brief encounter did not change anything.
