The extracurricular practice site for wizard apprentices is located in a snowfield north of the academy. It is close to the Welsh Mountains, a huge glacier that stretches and undulates. The ice and snow on the glacier melt in the summer and gather into streams, flowing from the heights to the valleys. Over thousands of years, deep gullies have been eroded downstream, forming a complex terrain environment.
The people in the royal city called that area the "Snow Demon's Lair" because according to legend, the Snow Demon was extremely cunning, with three burrows and so many burrows that it looked like a maze. This area was crisscrossed and most people could never return, just like the Snow Demon's lair.
Of course, the Brilliant Academy, with a group of young wizards, was definitely not going to the Snow Demon's lair, but was just moving around on its edge to ensure safety and no danger.
Sigourney came here yesterday and checked the area. She didn't find any suspicious people or objects and confirmed that everything was normal.
A row of large trucks from Brilliant Academy stopped in an orderly manner when they drove near the Snow Demon's Lair.
Although the Snow Demon's Lair is mysterious and dangerous, its complex geographical environment has produced many precious magic materials. It is also a unique training ground that can better hone the abilities of wizards.
Most importantly, the magical elements here are quite abundant. For wizards, breathing the air here is also a great enjoyment.
Even though they were only in the marginal area, Ash and his friends felt refreshed when they got off the car.
"It's so beautiful here." A little girl in the car said excitedly.
The snowfield under the night sky is vast and open, with crystal clear light flashing under the starlight. The terrain is not flat, but undulating, with blue ice rising from the ground to form a small hill.
There are nocturnal, frost-resistant insects moving in the ice and snow. The fluorescent powder on their wings and bodies meanders around, leaving flickering tracks.
A world that glows in the dark, quiet, deep and beautiful.
After getting off the bus, the little wizards could no longer stay together as they wished. The teachers acted decisively, gathering the students from their respective elective classes together and taking them to the designated teaching camps.
However, Ash's class "Guide to Capturing and Raising Magical Creatures" had not yet received the magical creatures needed for today's class, and they temporarily lacked the necessary samples for class. So the teacher simply took Ash and his classmates to join the elective course on magical plant cultivation.
To observe and study the living environment of wild magical plants.
Ash's elective course teacher, who said, "Magical plants are actually magical creatures. Before the academy sends the Snowstorm Bunny over, let's use magic plants instead," is a kind and friendly old grandfather named Dagmar, who is similar to Teacher Gabi.
He quickly reached an agreement with the teacher of the elective course on magical plants and naturally blended Ash and the others into someone else's class.
Laverne was in this class, and he was very happy when he saw Ash: "Ash, you and I will be in the same group."
Angel, who hadn't walked far yet, cast a rather resentful glance over. His elective class was about to go to a wind tunnel to train stealth skills. Ash was his friend, but now he was kidnapped by that kid. Damn it!
Laverne seemed to have sensed something, but ignored Angel. Instead, he took out his little notebook and waved it at Ash: "The teacher said there is a three-tailed flower nearby. Let's go look for it!"
Ash had taken Potions as an elective course and was relatively knowledgeable about magical plants, so he nodded and started searching the area with Laverne.
Quentin followed him silently. Under the supervision of the teachers, he finally got rid of those kids and felt a little better.
However, when Ash invited him to pick samples together, he still refused with a sour face.
——It didn't take Ash and Laverne long to find a small patch of three-tailed flowers. The lavender petals looked like the tail feathers of a bird, slender and graceful, exuding a faint fragrance.
"We need to collect soil samples, and test the temperature and humidity..." Laverne, who was studying hard, knew everything and quickly listed a series of things that needed to be done next.
Ash squatted beside him to help, tilted his head to look at Quentin who was standing there like a wooden stick, and thought for a moment: "Can you help me?"
Quentin looked at Ash strangely. If he wanted him to help, couldn't he just give him an order? Like forcing him to sing?
But Ash didn't give any orders, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to remind this new master.
Since you are asking about my wishes... He curled his lips and refused directly: "No." Facing the boy's harmless and gentle eyes, he subconsciously added, "Do you know how bad you smell?"
Ash was confused and sniffed his nose, he smelled?
Quentin rolled his eyes. "You smell delicious, you know that? If I hadn't eaten before I went out, and if I hadn't had this damn..." He pulled the black collar around his neck, "I would definitely suck all your blood!"
Ash finally responded.
Of course he knew.
When he was transferred into Sigourney's body, he thought he was delicious.
However, during this period of time, he had been with Sigourney day and night, but there didn't seem to be any abnormality in Sigourney. He even almost forgot that he was delicious in the eyes of vampires.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Does it feel uncomfortable to be close to me?"
Quentin confirmed without hesitation: "Very!"
A piece of delicious cake was circling around me, but I couldn't eat it. This could be considered a harsh punishment.
No one wants to be around food that they can see but cannot eat. It's not self-torture.
Ash murmured "Oh" softly, then turned back and continued to carefully assist Laverne in collecting samples.
Quentin: "..." What's next? Shouldn't we be kinder and allow him to go a little further?
"Quentin." Ash spoke with his back to him.
Quentin: “…” Oh, human children are just soft-hearted.
"You can stand on our right side." Ash said, "It's upwind."
Quentin: "Okay." He agreed and was about to turn around and walk away when he suddenly stopped. Wait, what did Ash say?
Instead of walking further away, you could... stand in a different direction?
Quentin: “…” Damn kindness!
As if he could hear the vampire's inner slander, Ash thought helplessly that if it was any other time, it would be fine for Quentin to go for a walk around the area. But knowing that there might be danger today, he still let Quentin stay away from him. Didn't that disappoint Mr. Nance's advance warning?
His fingertips fiddled with the fluffy snow. What exactly was the danger today? He could not get any specific revelation from the stars, and he rarely felt the fear of the unknown. But when he thought of Signy being with him on this snowy plain, he could not help but feel relieved.
I raised my hand and held the cold leaf mark on my left arm. Here was confidence, courage, and an unparalleled sense of security.
From Duogu Village to now, it has always been like this.
