feed on dragons

Early the next morning, the convoy set off again in the hazy morning fog.The apprentices were still in the same car. After talking with Dai Ning last night and building his mind, Julian's condition was better than the day before. Although he still felt a little uneasy, he finally stopped looking at Carter nervously.The three of them were still silent, and Carter didn't deliberately find words like last night, but just looked at his book quietly.Dai Ning fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, with his hands on his chest, his head drooping, and he would nod from time to time.Looking at the passing scenery outside the window, Julian had nothing to do, so he yawned boredly.

Along the way, the convoy was moving at full speed, and even stopped for lunch. The driver took out some grape juice, white bread, ham, cheese and other food that had been prepared from the back of the car and distributed them to the passengers in each car. Everyone rested their stomachs and immediately started on their way again.As a big eater who can eat ten loaves of bread in one meal, this food is stuffed between his teeth for Julian. Fortunately, he is currently full of magic power. Although he is not full, he does not feel very hungry. Dai Ning beside him complained in a low voice that the portion was too small.

"I don't mind asking for it," Dai Ning stuffed the last bite of bread with ham and cheese into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Give me a little more, we are still in the development period."

"I'm afraid you'll vomit due to motion sickness, and the books alone are heavy, so I probably can't bring any more." Julian poked his head out of the car window, looked at the full luggage of other convoys, and responded casually .

"Actually, I just said it casually." Dai Ning took a sip of grape juice and smiled, "If you really give me another serving, I might not necessarily eat it. After all, there are delicious things to eat at night. I'm too full to eat now. It would be a shame not to.”

"Tonight... oh, the dinner your Highness said yesterday?" Hearing what his friend said, Julian remembered what Acibel said at their table last night.

"That's right, you haven't eaten Olsen's famous dishes, have you? You can open your eyes tonight." I don't know if it's because I didn't eat enough, but when it comes to this dinner, Dai Ning looks a little bit worse than when he got on the bus in the morning. She looked much more refreshed after sleeping, "Fried flying fish, crystal seafood jelly, sea vegetables and shrimp floss... are so delicious."

"It's all seafood." Julian blinked his eyes, and he really became interested, "It's a country near the sea...I have eaten fish a few times, and I have only eaten river prawns for shrimps. Are the fish and shrimps there? Bigger than those in rivers and lakes?"

"Of course!" Dai Ning's eyes were shining, he stretched out his hands and gestured, "I've seen such a big fish! It looks strange, but it tastes really delicious! Shrimp are also as big as this Yes, the quality of the meat is far from that of river prawns, and there are many weird ones... Anyway, just wait, there must be none of the dishes at the dinner party that are not delicious."

As an aristocrat, Dai Ning can be regarded as a master who has eaten and seen. He patted his chest like this to guarantee that the dinner must be very exciting.Julian swallowed, and didn't feel very hungry at first, but after his friend said this, he actually felt a little empty.

Ainos is located in a plain, backed by mountains, rich in products, but there is no sea in the territory, only lakes and rivers, although there are fish and shrimp, after all, it is different from the sea.Julian was born in poverty. Before he met Hal, he could only eat bread, not to mention fish and shrimp. Even if it was meat, he couldn't eat a few mouthfuls a year.Although the food has improved a lot after following Hal, Red Dragon doesn't seem to particularly like seafood, but the taste of fruit and animal meat is changed every day.So, when little Julian heard that the night would be full of seafood, he was really full of expectations.

"The dishes at the dinner party should be very exciting, but the exchange of pleasantries with the nobles is not so exciting."

At this moment, Carter, who was sitting next to him, interrupted coolly.Julian and Dai Ning immediately looked back at him, neither of them expected that Carter, who had been very quiet all this time, would say a word at this moment.Although he found that the atmosphere had cooled down because of his words, the young man didn't seem embarrassed at all. He smiled and continued, "However, among us, it's probably Dai Ning who needs to worry about this... my family There is nothing to mention, and Julian is of ordinary background, so no one should focus on us..."

"That's unlikely."

After all, he is an aristocratic child whose communication is as common as eating and drinking. Dai Ning quickly recovered, and he also smiled, taking the subject of the topic away from himself, "Let's not talk about the family, after all, you are now But Lord Manderon's disciple, and he's the only one... For the sake of the next chief, you may need to share some of the work for the teacher? We are each other."

"That's right. It seems that among the three of us, Julian is the only one who can enjoy the food smoothly."

Carter didn't refute, but just revealed the past lightly.The topic of the dinner ended in such a sloppy way. In the end, Dai Ning and Carter looked at each other, and each exchanged a seemingly polite smile. .Julian, who didn't intervene and didn't dare to intervene, felt that although they were both laughing, there was a faint smell of smoke in the air.

Just when Julian felt that the invisible pressure in the air made him a little breathless, the speed of the carriage slowed down and finally stopped.The boy looked outside and saw many guards in dark blue uniforms, the towering city wall behind them, and a huge city gate.On the top of the wall fluttered a flag on a blue background embroidered with a gold pattern, which Julian recognized as the national emblem of Ourson.

"This is it?"

Dai Ning also leaned over, but he only took a look, then retracted his head.At the same time, the carriage moved forward slowly. After passing through the huge city gate, a group of cavalry ran out from the side and followed the convoy in two columns, as if to escort them into the city.

"Did you just... check?" Julian looked back at the city gate that was gradually moving away.

"Just now you are entering the customs. After passing there, you will officially enter the capital of Orson." Dai Ning explained, and moved his nose. "Mmm, I can smell it, the faint smell of sea water."

"that is true…"

Julian also sniffed, and there was indeed a faint smell of the sea in the air.This is the territory of Olsen - he is a little excited, his heart beating high.This is the first time for the poor boy to go abroad. The farthest distance he has traveled in the past is only from the orphanage to the school. He has never been so far away from home.

The carriage quickly entered the city.Many pedestrians couldn't help but stop and look at the convoy with the foreign national emblem, and they whispered curiously.There were also some people who couldn't move their eyes away after seeing Julian with half of his head sticking out of the car window, and some even wanted to follow the carriage in a daze, but were immediately stopped by the cavalry.Although those people were blocked outside, they still looked towards the convoy without giving up, and walked away regretfully until the carriage gradually drifted away.

"Did you see it?"

"Yes, the blond one..."

"I just can't take my eyes off his face..."

Although unable to follow, those who saw Julian whispered to each other, and their expressions attracted other curious people to come forward and ask what happened. Rumors of "there is a blonde beauty on the visiting Enos team" quietly spread among the people...

The culprit, the little obscene demon, didn't realize the little commotion he had caused. He had long been attracted by the store's brightly colored ceilings and the special signboards used to attract customers.The huge wooden fish and shrimps were written with words that looked like the name of the shop, and some even shook their heads and tails...Julian's small body leaned out of the window more and more. He grabbed his back collar and dragged him back.

"You were just looking at the scenery, so I won't talk about it. Now it's time to climb out? It's dangerous!" he muttered.

"I... didn't pay attention..." Julian rubbed his head embarrassingly.

"Don't worry, we're going to live here for a month, and I'll take you shopping every day. Orson, I've been here too, and I'm a little more familiar with you than you are. Now, don't worry about that for now, look, Orson The Wizard's Tower. Looks like we're going to live near here..."

Following the direction of Dai Ning's finger, Julian also saw several towering blue spires.Indescribable, more intense excitement than just now hits my heart.

Wizard Summit.

The first gathering of capable mages from all over the world is about to start here.

He looked excitedly at the towers that were getting closer and bigger. At the same time, he also noticed that the closer to the Wizard's Tower, the more different the shops next to it were from the city center.There are fewer shops selling food and daily necessities, replaced by inscriptions, magic materials, stationery, robes and other shops related to mages.

Among these shops, he would occasionally see some small tables with crystal balls or some strange pebbles on them. No matter what was put on them, there would always be a blue-bottomed pebble on those small stands. A small flag, with one large, two small and three silver stars embroidered on it—representing the son of the Moon God and the emblem of the Astral God who is in charge of destiny.

"A divination stand? A fortune teller?" Julian murmured to himself.The star god is the main god of the fortune tellers, as long as they do this job, no matter if they are fortune tellers or prophets, they will put up this flag for the protection of the stars.He knows these things, and he has seen them in the territory of Ainos, and there are even some beside the Magic Academy.

Divination booths can be seen everywhere, and it is not uncommon.The strange thing is...there are too many divination booths?Looking at this road, there are four or five at each intersection, and there are even some fortune-telling stalls that have developed storefronts...

"Olsen likes to play divination." Dai Ning leaned forward again, answering the questions in his heart as if he could hear his inner voice. "I heard that it's because fishing is the foundation and walruses are unpredictable. In the past, they always relied on fortune tellers to judge good or bad luck and decide whether to go to sea. It's been a long time, not only to go to sea, but to marry a daughter and go far away. Just asking for peace of mind, this habit has been handed down to this day. Olson even used these divination booths as a tourist gimmick, and there are several noble ladies around me who can do this."

"So it's like this..." Julian looked at the small divination booths and nodded slightly.

And at this moment, behind an ordinary fortune-telling booth passing by in front of his eyes, the fortune-teller who was lazily nestled in an unusually wide chair suddenly raised his head and glanced at him.This was not a strange thing in the first place, since the convoy entered the urban area, many people would stare at the car curiously, but this was the first time that they met Julian's eyes so clearly.The carriage passed by quickly, and the man quickly disappeared into the distance of the street. The young man turned his head back blankly, wondering if he had read it wrong.

that person…

Just smiled at him.

He knows me?Impossible, I don't know anyone here...

But Julian couldn't spend any more time thinking about it.The convoy passed through the gate outside the wizard tower group and entered the range of the tower group.In the center of the square surrounded by towering blue towers, you can already see the representatives of the Principality of Orson coming to greet you...

The magician summit officially kicked off.
