feed on dragons

When Julian came out of the room refreshed the next morning, Dai Ning was startled.

"Really sleep well?" He took off the bow tie on the boy's collar and helped him re-tie it, while muttering: "The way you looked yesterday made me worry to death."

"I told you to get some sleep." Although Julian replied, he felt a little guilty, "Well...everything is fine now!"

"Very good? So good that you can get a high score?" Dai Ning raised his eyebrows at him.

"I think so." Julian pursed his lips and smiled.

"Look at your joy... well, let's go."

The two went downstairs together, and when they were about to walk to the lobby of the gathering place, they saw Tifeng standing at the stairs.The magician seemed to be pacing up and down the stairs a little anxiously. Just when Julian wanted to ask him what was the matter, Tifeng turned his head and saw the two people who were about to go downstairs.

The mage's originally tangled face lit up in an instant. Before Julian and Dai Ning could figure out the situation, they were taken down the stairs by Tifeng and dragged to a corner.

"Tifeng, what's the matter with you?" Dai Ning was a little puzzled, "Is there anything we can't talk about until the event is over? We are about to gather."

"This... can't be done, we must say it now." Tifeng's expression looked anxious, and he also felt a little... guilty. "It's about your game..."

"What, what happened to the game?" Seeing his expression, Julian also became nervous.Isn't there a sudden change?

"It's...that... Well, in the dark night, I'm so easy to be tricked out." Tifeng said with a bitter face, "Yesterday, two apprentices from Olsen and Mist came to pester me, I don't Be careful... you just missed one thing."

Hearing this sentence, both Dai Ning and Julian's eyes widened.

"what?"

Looking at their astonished expressions, Tifeng just smiled wryly.

"That's why I'm waiting for you here... After all, I made an appointment with you before. If I reveal any information to them, I have to tell you."

Dai Ning blinked, and was stunned for a while before opening his mouth: "You...really...how should I put it...too nice?"

In fact, Dai Ning just said it casually with a half-joking mentality at the time.If Tifeng really revealed something, as long as he didn't tell it himself, no one would know.Who knew this man was so honest?

"In short... hey, it's not really a matter of content. It's just... what you see with your eyes is not real. When you take things at the end... pay attention to the hints on the map."

"Pay attention to what it means...?" Dai Ning wanted to gather more information.

"Just... just look carefully... I can only say so much, and I can only tell them so much."

After Tifeng finished speaking, he took a deep breath, as if he had just calmed down a little bit, but then he thought of something again, lowered his voice and said to Dai Ning and Julian: "You, you just treat it as if you were the original Just notice it, don't say I said it... Although both sides know it, it's always... not so good..."

"Don't worry, Julian and I know how to deal with it. Right, Julian?" Dai Ning blinked at his friend, Julian nodded immediately, and said cooperatively: "That's right! Anyway, the event map should be carefully checked anyway. , we will look very carefully and will never let go of any clues.”

Hearing what they said, Tifeng finally smiled with relief. "Okay...Okay. May the night bless you all well. Ah, let's go, or someone will be suspicious when I've been with you for so long."

The two apprentices nodded in understanding, and walked towards the hall where many people had already gathered.Just when they were chatting with Huang and Yue who had already come down, they saw Tifeng coming out from behind and joining the magician's group.Julian looked in the direction of Tifeng, who raised his head, saw his eyes, and smiled at him.

The number of people participating in the activity arrived quickly.In the early morning mist, the apprentices and mages took several carriages and headed towards the Starfall Ruins.

The carriages of the apprentices were still allocated according to the state, so Daining, Julian and Carter were naturally in the same carriage.Along the way, because there was Carter next to them, the two did not discuss the new information they had just obtained. They just did their own things and occasionally talked about irrelevant topics.Julian was in a very light mood, everything seemed to be going so smoothly, dreaming of Hal last night seemed to be the beginning of all good things, not only his magic problem was solved, but also new information...

Master Hal is indeed a noble person in my life!

Looking at the scenery moving backwards outside the window, Julian thought of the tall figure of the red dragon, and felt light and sweet in his heart, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Hal in his dream last night was as real as ever.Whether it's hugging, smelling, or...err, tasting.Moreover, just like what Hal said in the dream, the feeding in the dream turned out to be effective—although it was not as full as it was when I first came, but there was absolutely no problem in coping with this game.

Having said that, the dragon is so powerful, it can even be done in a dream...

Thinking of replenishing the magic, he naturally also remembered the process of having a relationship with Hal last night... Julian's ears became familiar immediately.

"What are you thinking that makes your face turn red?"

Dai Ning who was sitting next to him suddenly asked.Julian was startled, almost jumped up from the chair, and replied in a panic: "No, no, this... er... yes, no."

"It's a way to deny it so hard."

"What is it?"

"Ask you?"

Seeing his friend's malicious expression, Julian opened his mouth but couldn't think of any clever excuses. He turned his head and asked, half confirming and half diverting the topic: "This...ah, by the way, last night...did you What strange noise did you hear?"

"Strange sound? No, I slept very hard yesterday." Dai Ning rubbed his chin and recalled, "I didn't want to go to bed so early yesterday, I was afraid you had something to ask me... I don't know why, but when I woke up in the morning, I found Already in bed..."

"...So you don't remember when you fell asleep, do you?"

Carter, who was sitting next to him, suddenly interrupted.Dai Ning gave him a strange look, hesitated before nodding: "En."

"Yesterday I remembered that I was talking to the teacher, talking... I didn't know anything, and it was already midnight when I opened my eyes." Carter tilted his head, showing a puzzled expression, "Suddenly everyone was talking at the same time. Fell asleep for a while?"

"That's really strange." Dai Ning heheed twice.What he cared about was not whether he could sleep or not, but that he seemed to have had a dream.I can't remember what I dreamed of, the only thing I remember is that sentence in the dream... or that question.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help tugging at his friend's sleeve.

"...Julian, let me ask you..."

"Um?"

"The past or the future, which one do you choose?"

"...Ah? What is this? There is no beginning and no end." Julian frowned in confusion, "What is the past and the future?"

"Mine?" Dai Ning also felt that the question was endless, but that's all he remembered.

"Since it's a dream, don't you need to take it seriously?" Carter said flatly.Dai Ning glanced at him and asked, "What about you? Which one do you choose?"

As if he didn't expect Dai Ning to ask him this question, Carter gave him a surprised look, then lowered his head and thought for a while.

"... let's go."

"Oh?" Didn't expect him to give a definite answer, Dai Ning felt a little interesting. "Why?"

"Because I feel like the future has nowhere to go."

Carter turned his head and looked out of the window, uttering such a sentence in a low voice.

Hearing this reason, Julian and Dai Ning looked at each other, not knowing what to answer for a moment.Even if they practiced with Carter for more than ten days, they didn't know much about him, and their friendship with Carter was certainly not good enough to continue asking.The three of them stopped talking, and just remained silent, only the occasional bumps and slight noises when the carriage ran over the stones on the road.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long, and they arrived at their destination.The apprentices and mages got off the car one by one, led by Tifeng, and walked for a short distance along the path into the mountain.They walked in a winding way, and after passing through a small forest, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up—behind the forest was an extremely open space, in the middle of which stood a black building that looked old.Parts of the building have collapsed, and vines climbed up the magnificent pillars and beautifully carved eaves, but even though it looks so dilapidated on the outside, the building still exudes a wonderful sense of oppression.

"This is... the Starfall Ruins..." Julian looked at the building and muttered to himself, "This is the first time I saw the ruins..."

"Me too." Dai Ning murmured something that Dylan would definitely be dumbfounded when he heard it: "My hometown is more imposing than me..."

Because it was a matter of his own apprenticeship and the country's face, the team leaders from the four countries had already arrived first, and they should have come with Yaqibel in the earliest batch of carriages.Like the apprentices, they were divided into two groups and sat on the seats that had been set up on the left and right sides of the ruins.The leader of Canterlian, the leader of the female mages Lun and Mist, and Kelia each placed a small table in front of them. On the table was a piece of parchment nailed at four corners, with a map of the ruins drawn on it.There are some wonderful marks in several places on the map, which is where the level is located.

"So that's it. That parchment can record our moving route, maybe it can even show the way to solve the level... It's amazing. Is it Orson's magic prop technology?"

Dai Ning stretched his neck to see more clearly.Hearing what he said, Julian tried his best to lift his toes to see what the magical parchment looked like.

"Is it really that powerful? The current magic items have developed to this level..."

"After all, the current trend is to integrate magic into life, and it will become more and more powerful."

The mages who arrived later took their seats one after another, while the apprentices followed Tifeng's instructions and stood in two rows in front of the ruins—Julian only knew at this time that Tifeng was the one who was responsible for leading the apprentices into the ruins.

Thinking about it carefully, Tifeng, who is alone, has no stake in this friendly match, and is usually very close to the apprentices, so he is indeed a very good candidate.

Seeing that everyone was here, Yaqibeier came out from the side and made a simple opening.When he was giving a speech, the people of the two teams each got a road map inside the ruins.All the places that must be passed and the locations of the checkpoints are marked on the route map. The end point is in the middle of the ruins. Looking at the simple instructions above, it seems to be to obtain something.

"Okay, apprentices. Your purpose is to reach the designated end point to obtain an item there, and then return the same way and hand over the item to me." Yaqibel said, "All your actions will be in the end. These two tracking maps are shown on the above, and they are uniformly accepted for fair judgment, above. Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

The children said in unison.

"Master Tifeng, please take them in." Yaqibel nodded to Tifeng.The latter agreed and led the two teams of apprentices into the ruins.After passing through the porch, they stopped at the wide circular vestibule, with two entrances on the left and right. Julian picked up the map and checked that their route was on the right.

"Have you checked the map?"

Ask a question.The apprentices answered this question with actions. Ten teenagers and girls had already stood at the entrance of their team. After Dai Ning confirmed the situation of his own house with the captain of the other team, he told Tifeng that there was no problem.

"Then, let's begin. May the night protect you."

The magician clapped his hands lightly, and a burst of flames and explosions erupted-the most eye-catching event of this magician summit began at this moment.
