"Crackling..."
The sound of the heavy wooden door being slowly pushed open was full of antiquity, as if traveling through history.
The moment she heard the sound, Lin Xiaoman woke up in shock. After a second of confusion, she regained consciousness and realized that she had opened a new map.
I was reading comics last night and fell asleep without realizing it.
"Miss Amy, are you awake?" A kind and gentle female voice accompanied the sound of footsteps.
Turning around, Lin Xiaoman saw the person who came. She was a woman in her forties, wearing a European retro-style long dress, with facial features that were obviously more Caucasian, and dark brown hair neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head.
"Yes, Mrs. Finger." Lin Xiaoman answered softly as usual.
Mrs. Finger is the person who takes care of her daily life and various studies, and is equivalent to her housekeeper.
"Miss Amy, let's get up now, okay?"
"OK."
The European-style skirts, one after another, layered and very complicated, were too small for Lin Xiaoman to handle by herself.
With the help of Mrs. Finger, Lin Xiaoman put on her clothes. The maid brought hot water. In the bathroom, Lin Xiaoman looked at herself in the antique mirror, which was made of brass or gold. She had fair skin, big curly brown hair, and a pair of big emerald eyes, which made her look particularly beautiful.
Wow!
Exotic style, rocking supreme!!
After washing up, Lin Xiaoman followed Mrs. Finger to the restaurant.
The restaurant is in standard ancient European style, with a large chandelier and a long dining table. The Duke and Duchess of Laurent have already taken their seats at the dining table.
"Dad, Mom." Lin Xiaoman ran over happily with her skirt pulled up, with light steps. It takes a lot of acting skills to play a 12-year-old aristocratic girl.
Duke Laurent was a burly man with curly brown-red hair and thick eyebrows. His eyes were also green and bright under his eyebrows. His face was covered with a full beard, which gave him a rugged look. One could tell at a glance that he was a powerful warrior.
Mrs. Laurent is dignified and elegant. Although her face is no longer young, she exudes a sense of nobility, a natural aristocratic temperament.
"Amy, please pay attention to your etiquette." Mrs. Laurent spoke with a serious tone, but more of a smile.
After a little annoyance, Lin Xiaoman held up her skirt and bowed gracefully, like a standard aristocratic lady.
"There's no outsider here, so there's no need to be so formal. Amy, come quickly and have breakfast." Duke Laurent waved at her, and with a smile on his face, he looked kind and benevolent.
I haven't seen my brother Ange for a long time. I heard that he went out. As for where he went, no one told her, a little kid.
On the long dining table, there are pure silver tableware, which are probably handmade. The forging skills are a bit crude, and it exudes an antique atmosphere.
Breakfast is milk, coffee, bread, biscuits, cereal, small desserts... Oh, the life of an aristocrat, that's it.
After breakfast, the Duke and Duchess left, and Lin Xiaoman was still taken care of by Mrs. Finger.
"Miss Amy, let's learn to read this morning, okay?"
Mrs. Finger was an exceptionally gentle person, speaking softly and seeking Lin Xiaoman's opinion.
"Mrs. Finger, I don't want to learn to read today. I want to go find Grandpa Colin. Is that okay?" With his eyes wide open, Lin Xiaoman stared at Mrs. Finger with a face full of longing.
Embroidering, learning to make clothes, learning etiquette, learning to dance, learning to write, drinking afternoon tea, playing in the garden... Little Amy's daily life is basically just this, repeating over and over again, and it is particularly boring.
Of course, it is more important to see the strongest magician in Adri.
Stared at by Lin Xiaoman's watery emerald eyes, Mrs. Finger could no longer say no. She could only smile helplessly and dotingly, "Okay then. But Miss Amy, if Master Colin is busy, we can't disturb him, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Xiaoman nodded obediently.
The city of Yadry is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The castle is located in the center of the inner city. It is very majestic and huge, like a big maze.
After walking for half an hour, the two finally arrived at Colin's residence, but unfortunately, he was not there, neither in his room nor in his studio.
In the days before cell phones, the only way to get around was to ask. As she wandered around, Mrs. Finger would ask every time she met a guard or maid, "Have you seen Lord Colin?"
Finally, the two learned from a maid that Colin took Olena to the west garden.
After another ten minutes, Lin Xiaoman finally found the two people on the lawn in the garden.
Colin wore a long white robe and had a frown on his face, but he still looked young for his eighty years. With shoulder-length white hair and a long white beard, he looked a bit like Gandalf.
Holding a book in one hand and drawing shapes in the air with the other, Colin was talking to Olena in front of him.
Olena had golden eyes and long golden hair that sparkled in the sun, making her look very beautiful. For convenience, she wore a simple dress without many layered decorations. The light pink color made her look very tender and fair, just like a princess.
Lin Xiaoman knew from her memories that Olena was a beautiful woman. Of course, now she was just a 15-year-old girl who was a little older than her.
Apparently having noticed the two, Colin smiled amiably in their direction, then gave Olena a few instructions. Finally, he said, "Okay, Olena, try it yourself. Aim at the stone over there."
"Yes, teacher."
After retreating four or five meters, Colin waved at Lin Xiaoman.
"Grandpa Colin!" Lin Xiaoman ran over happily with a bright smile on his face. "Are you teaching Sister Olena magic?"
"Yes, little Amy." Colin touched her hair with a kind face and said in a coaxing tone, "Keep quiet, little Amy will see the magic soon!"
"Yeah." Lin Xiaoman, who had been pretending to be innocent, nodded excitedly with his eyes wide open.
There is definitely a huge gap between comics and reality, so she wants to take a closer look at how magic is performed in reality.
Lin Xiaoman tried it when she was walking along the way just now, but unfortunately, she didn't feel any fire element.
"Olina, you may begin."
"Yes, teacher."
During this time, Olena memorized a new magic circle. It was her first time drawing it, so she was inevitably a little nervous.
After taking a deep breath, Olena raised her hand, and then...
Lin Xiaoman was surprised to see that there were fluorescent spots on Orina's fingertips. Following the movement of her fingers, silver-white lines left clear traces in the air. One by one, the lines gradually formed a complex pattern in the air, and then... "Ah!" Orina cried out softly, and the white pattern suddenly collapsed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, it failed.
