I heard that Sigourney rejected Ash.
On the day of the starfall, Ivan and Yelena took the initiative to invite Ash to go out with them to participate in the ceremony.
They arrived at dusk. At this time, the Royal City, after being warmed up throughout the day, was at its busiest. Soon, the Shining Competition would begin.
Yelena and the others also found Ash in the library.
"Ah, poor little thing." Yelena looked at the boy who was alone in the huge library and couldn't help shaking her head, "You can only use the best days of the year to study."
Ash looked up and saw them. He smiled at first, then shook his head helplessly: "Just reading a book. Can we not talk about studying today?"
"Hey, our top student Ash is actually not interested in studying?" Yelena walked over mischievously and looked down at Ash's hand. "Isn't this the novel I gave you? How is it? What do you think of it?"
Ash: "It looks pretty good."
Yelena raised her eyebrows proudly, as if she was right about what she recommended. But she still firmly pulled the book out of Ash's hand and said, "Why are you still reading on Starfall Day? Let's go, let's go out and play!"
She shrugged. "It's a good opportunity to show you around the royal city. Hey, this is your first time, right? Ash, you haven't been around much."
Ash nodded. It was indeed his first time, so he was looking forward to it.
Then, he shook his head again and said apologetically, "You guys go ahead, I still have to wait for Sigourney."
Yelena looked at him sympathetically: "Being rejected is too much of a blow, so you don't want to believe the reality?" She shook her head and sighed, "Ash, since Sigourney rejected you, you should just come with us. He won't come even if you wait here until tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow's day will not come." Ash corrected her first, then said strangely, "Reject? Sigourney didn't refuse."
Yelena: "How could that be! I heard from Feier that - cough."
Ash blinked. "Fell? There were only Lord Nance and Selvi at the astronomical platform last night, right? In less than a day, the news reached Fell's ears, and then Yelena's ears? So... how many people know about this now?
Yelena stopped selling out her teammates and said, "Think about it carefully! Don't embellish your memories! Don't deceive yourself! He must have rejected you!"
Ash thought about it carefully and smiled warmly, "I thought she would say no, but she didn't. Sigourney is really gentle."
Yelena: “…”
Ivan: “…”
Sigourney, who had just walked to the door of the library, said: "..."
Feeling listless for a whole night?
Oh.
With a cold face, he turned around and planned to go back to his coffin to sleep through this noisy star-falling day.
"Sigourney?" A young man's joyful voice came from behind, "Are you leaving? Wait for me."
Da da da da.
A burst of hurried footsteps, accompanied by an exceptionally pleasant and fresh scent, approached quickly from behind.
Sigourney glanced to the side, and a young man with soft, semi-long hair appeared in his sight. The top of his hair was also smooth and well-behaved, without a single strand of messy hair.
Appearances are particularly deceptive.
He didn't say anything, and walked straight to the elevator in the wizard tower... It would be a pity to give up for the precious materials in the market.
Ivan and Yelena, who were left behind, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yelena: "From now on...I will believe everything Ash says!"
Ivan: "...Let's go."
Ash followed Signy out of the wizard tower.
Naturally, it attracted countless shocked and surprised glances.
After all, I knew the gossip that "the young man invited Scarlet Moon on the astronomy platform but was cruelly rejected". Now when I saw the two of them walking out of the wizard tower together and into the spacious street, I couldn't help rubbing my eyes to confirm whether I saw it wrong.
After confirming that it was correct, he rolled up his sleeves and went to find fault with the friend who spread the false gossip.
Liar!
The invitation was obviously successful!
It’s so hot!
Scarlet Moon was actually asked out by someone!
The two people at the center of the topic were both very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. At this time, they could not help but hear some exclamations and discussions.
Sigourney frowned slightly, but before her annoyance could build up, she saw Ash suddenly stop and look blankly at an intersection in front of him.
"Which way are you going?" The boy suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of excitement and expectation. It seemed that because he was so focused on being with him, he could not hear the noisy discussions around him.
His frown smoothed down.
"This way." His voice was cool and lazy, like the relaxing tone he used when he was alone.
Ash followed him.
Not far behind them—
Ivan: "Why should we follow them?"
Yelena: "My feet unconsciously..."
The two looked at each other again.
Forget it, it doesn't matter which way we go. Lord Scarlet Moon didn't chase them away anyway.
The dazzling royal city tonight is very different from usual.
Just as the name "Starfall Day" suggests, the night sky seems to be covered with a layer of black gauze, blocking all the previously bright stars.
There was no starlight or moonlight, and the sky was extremely dark.
But the royal city was already brightly lit, with lights shining brightly, the light reflected on the crystal clear ice and snow buildings, creating an incomparable dreamy and hazy beauty.
The shops on both sides of the street also put up bizarre signs and various preferential measures to attract the usually tight-fisted wizards to finally open their wallets today and buy the things they like. The shops were bustling with wizards coming in and out.
Sigourney did not stop in front of these shops. She took Ash and went straight to the nearest park square.
The square is naturally no longer the same as before.
The inscription master raised a transparent barrier like a water film. Because of the ripples like water waves and the dazzling reflection and refraction of light on it, even though it is transparent, the barrier is still clearly visible.
Looking in from the outside of the barrier, you can see all kinds of strange-shaped houses, some big, some small, some tall, some short. Some are like enlarged mushrooms, squatting in the corner, some are like long snakes, occupying a large area. Some are tightly closed and extremely mysterious, and some are filled with flowers and plants and are particularly bright.
Ash recognised these, they were all unique magic huts, each with different magic effects attached to them and therefore had different uses.
This is a market.
The entrance to the market was nearby, an icy archway with the emblem of the Wizarding Association hanging above it: a solemn tome, which was also the pattern engraved on Iluv coins.
Sigourney and Ash walked to the entrance.
There was a row of soldiers from the law enforcement team guarding there, and at the front was a wizard covered in a black cloak.
"Oh, Scarlet Moon?" An old voice came from under the cloak, "Didn't Lord Nance accompany you this year?"
The voice said calmly, "Magic materials are not allowed to be brought in alone without a wizard."
Sigourney raised the corner of her lips, pressed Ash's shoulders, and pushed him into the light.
"Well," he said slowly, "this year, I'm going in with him."
Ash looked calmly at the wizard and nodded in approval.
"A wizard's apprentice?"
"A wizard apprentice is also a wizard." As a matter of course.
The wizard under the cloak: “…” Unable to refute.
"...You can enter." He handed a bracelet to Ash, "It records your identity information. Do not try to challenge the rules and order within the market."
Even through the cloak, Ash could feel him looking at him deeply.
"Take good care of your magic materials," the wizard warned Ash, "You will be responsible for the mistakes he makes."
Ash: "...Yeah."
Ash, wearing the bracelet, and bringing his magic material, Signy, stepped into the market.
On the third wizard tower in the distance, the lonely old man Nance stood alone on the astronomical platform, overlooking the brilliant lights below and sighing.
Everyone went out to play.
Not even with him.
He looked up at the inky black sky and sighed heavily again.
I’ve been feeling inexplicably anxious lately, but I can’t “see” anything and feel that the future is in chaos.
The astrology is becoming increasingly difficult to interpret, it is a mess, and predictions are becoming extremely difficult.
Forget it, what's the point of playing?
Shaking his head, he gently closed his eyes and continued to sense the subtle connection with the stars.
