*****************************

Julian sat on the soft sofa, looking around uneasily, not even in the mood to taste the cup of tea with a sweet aroma in front of him.After they came out of the classroom, they got into the carriage with the prince directly. While being pushed into the carriage by Dai Ning, Julian asked in a panic what to do with the afternoon class, but the latter just rolled his eyes and replied, "Who cares about the class now!" , and then jumped up neatly.

There were only the two of them in this car. He repeatedly asked Dai Ning what was going on now. Dai Ning was about to speak, but at the last moment, he rolled his eyes and closed his mouth. Then he took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the car. In his mouth, he successfully blocked Julian's remaining questions.

"I decided to keep it a secret. Just wait for His Highness to explain to you."

"Love Camp—"

"Hey, eat candy, don't talk."

Julian was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, but he managed to divert part of his attention by the sugar in his mouth, which smelled like flowers and tea.Just like children of the same age, he also likes sweet things, but he doesn't eat them often.I didn't have the money to buy it before, but now I don't want to spend money to buy it.Although Hal arranged for his board and lodging, Julian has been poor for so many years, and his poor personality cannot be changed at once, especially the person who gave the money has never taught him how to spend it; Except for expenses, most of them were saved preciously by him.For Julian, candy is unnecessary and a luxury. Except for the day he was admitted to the Elite Research Institute, he happily made an exception and bought a pack of butterscotch for himself that he had been craving for a long time. other.

After bumping a few blocks, the carriage turned into a side road and stopped in front of the gate of a manor.Julian and Dai Ning followed the prince and the black-haired attendant into the gate. The prince ordered the servant who came out to greet him, and then left with the guard. The servant who looked like a butler brought the two of them to a room, and quickly served tea and snacks, asked them to wait, and then left the room.

What's going on…

After being quiet for a while, Julian finally couldn't sit still, he stretched out his hand and tugged at his friend's sleeve, "Daining, what the hell now..."

"Hey, little Julian, you're not such an impatient person, right? You can spend the whole afternoon practicing the same set of magic circles forty or fifty times? Be good, the prince should be here soon. "

Compared to Julian who was on pins and needles, Dai Ning looked very leisurely.As he spoke, he slowly picked up a candy, peeled off the wrapping paper and stuffed it into his mouth. He nestled in the soft sofa, looking as if he had returned to his own home.

"How can such fundamentally different things compare! If you don't want to talk about it, at least give me some clues. I'm the only one who is nervous."

Julian complained with some dissatisfaction.Dai Ning glanced at him, and the candy in his mouth rolled from left to right and then from right to left. After a while, he said: "...Actually, I don't want to hide anything from you. The news I heard is actually just Fragment, or even just a rumor, there is nothing to say. Am I waiting for His Highness to come down and give us an answer?"

While speaking, Dai Ning took a candy from the small basket on the table and put it into Julian's hand, narrowed his eyes playfully, and said, "Don't worry, little Julian. Your Highness won't betray you, Eat some candy and wait slowly. Let me tell you, these are all candies that have just been imported to the royal family recently, and you can’t eat them outside, you kid is lucky.”

Julian narrowed his eyes and showed a skeptical expression, but Dai Ning looked away and hummed, as if determined not to say anything more.The boy looked down at the candy in his hand, and snorted like a sigh. Just as he peeled off the wrapping paper and stuffed the candy into his mouth, a gentle male voice came from outside——

"Awaited."

"Goo!"

Julian was taken aback, and flicked his whole body, almost choking his throat with the sugar ball in his mouth.

"Ah, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"It's okay, you don't need to get up, take it easy." Azibel stopped the two who wanted to stand up and saluted, and walked to the chair opposite them and sat down. "Okay, you two... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Cough...no...it's okay, thank you Your Highness for your concern..."

Julian finally swallowed the ball, coughing until his face was flushed and his eyes were filled with tears.He gave Dai Ning a sad look. The latter sat upright, deliberately putting on a serious look, but his slightly trembling shoulders had already betrayed the fact that he had worked so hard to hold back his laughter, and he looked particularly heartless.

"Oh, it's fine. Um... your name is Julian, right?" Azibel didn't seem to care, he confirmed his name with a gentle smile on his face.

"Yes, I'm Julian. What's your order?" Julian quickly straightened up and sat upright, his whole body stiffened with tension.

"...No, it's all right. I just checked your profile, and for an orphan from a poor background, you are quite remarkable."

"Ah, yes, thank you..." Hearing the prince mention his life experience, Julian's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously clenched his hands on his knees.He doesn't like this topic. After all, as long as you talk about your own background, there is nothing good about it, and...

"You seem to have been helped later. The people who supported you are also very discerning."

really…!

The prince said this lightly, but Julian's spirit immediately tensed up.Yaqibel's attitude didn't seem to be asking, but was narrating a known matter, which further deepened the teenager's uneasiness.

Could it be... His Highness knows about Lord Hal?

When you think about it, it makes perfect sense.Even if other people don't know the existence of Hal, but as a royal family, it is unlikely that they don't know that there is a dragon in their country; moreover, the principal knows the relationship between Hal and himself, and it is easy to get it by asking the principal. Related information...

Julian began to feel uneasy.He didn't even mention Hal's matter to Dai Ning, not only because their relationship was difficult to explain, and strictly speaking it was not innocent, but more importantly, for a boy who had never owned anything, the underground Everything in the residence is like his treasure.He just wanted to keep everything well and not let it have any chance of being destroyed.

What is the intention of His Royal Highness?

Thinking of this, Julian's eyes reflexively showed a trace of defense.

But to his surprise, Yaqibeier did not continue to ask this question, but turned his head to look at Dai Ning, and changed the subject directly.

"I know more about you. Dainin Heron, the youngest son of the Duke of Heron, is also the most talented member of the Heron family at present... I know that the Duke of Heron is very fond of you, and based on your today With his performance, the Duke really did not favor the wrong person."

Dai Ning was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Well, thank you Your Highness... It is a great honor to be recognized by Your Highness."

"Duke Heron has also made great contributions to the arrangement of salt and spices recently. With a child like you, the Heron family will definitely be even more prominent in the future."

"No, all of this is due to His Majesty's mother, Mrs. Roland. We are just trying our best to provide the help Madam needs, and my father must be very happy to share her worries..."

Julian stared blankly at his friend and the prince who left him alone like this, and started gossiping with each other, and the prince never looked back to ask him about the so-called "supporters".The crisis was suddenly lifted temporarily like this, and he didn't know whether to continue to be on guard or rest assured.The young man couldn't help trying to spy on the prince's emotions, but the other party was as calm as a lake on a moonlit night, and he couldn't see anything.

"Okay, I've said enough off-topic things. We still have a long time to spend together, and we can talk about those things slowly." The prince picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Let's get to the point. Dai Ning, Julian, do you know why I made a special trip to the Academy today and singled out you two?"

Julian shook his head honestly, while Dai Ning leaned forward suddenly, his expression couldn't hide his eagerness and excitement--"Your Highness, is that that one? Although there is no official news yet, I still have heard about it... "

"Yes. The people of the Herren family are really well-informed." Azibel smiled. "It's that thing.In order to select suitable talents, I went through several famous magic academies in China. Before coming here, I actually already had some candidate lists in my hands.But after seeing your magic circle drawing today, I don't think there is any need to choose again... Dai Ning is actually the candidate I expected, but you, Julian, are unexpected. "

When the prince said this, he turned his gaze to Julian.There was a little movement in the originally calm mood, and Julian felt a burst of warmth, which was surprise and joy.

"You can consider yourself lucky. After all, being selected by me to participate in this event is almost equivalent to being recommended to the National Magic Court, and becoming an academician is only a matter of time."

Huh?

Julian's eyes widened.

Magic Court, academician?

The bombardment of these five words made him forget where he was. Before getting excited, he felt dizzy first.

It is equivalent to recommending to the academician of the Magic Court!Wait, what exactly is the "event" His Royal Highness is talking about?He has never heard of any grand event, as long as you can participate, it is equivalent to guaranteeing you as an academician...

"Magician United Summit - a joint exchange summit led by me, the great sage of the Principality of Olsen and several well-known magicians, the elite magician groups and the best magic apprentices from all over the world will all gather in the The mages of the host country will conduct a one-month document exchange, technical seminars and other activities. And the magic apprentices can also communicate with each other, and observe the skills of the elite mages, etc. The final climax of the entire summit is to let the participants magic Apprentices are participating in a large-scale competition. On the surface, it is a friendly match, but all countries know that this is a great opportunity for others to see their own strength, and it can be said that it is an event that concerns the face of the country.”

Julian opened his mouth and couldn't utter a word. Dai Ning, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his hand excitedly. The palms of both of them were warm and sweaty.

"The first summit was held by Olsen, and you are the apprentices I have chosen to accompany you. Take advantage of this opportunity and perform hard, lucky boys."
