Act 1
At dusk, the setting sun casts the last remaining light on this beautiful hillside, and the grass reflects the golden sunshine, so that the hillside seems to put on a golden coat outside the green underwear. On the usually deserted hillside, now there are two 12 or 13 years old young people enjoying the rare scenery.
"Long time no see, mei mi, recently haven't come to this hillside to play, your mother must stare at you very strict.”
"My mother always wants me to help her with the housework. Today is only free, I can't pull her to this hillside to play!”
There was a girl with long brown hair smiling at the strong black-haired teenager in front
"Here's only a secret place that we know about it."
"Yes, what about Ken?,”
"Ah, he and I last time than wrestling lost, very unwilling, now probably is practicing, ready to challenge me again!”
"Ken's personality is so serious, but you are so great. Do you know, the village chief said Ken is absolutely a good seedling, willing to pay for his soldier college study!”
"Soldier college, in another month, the three of us will decide the future. Ken would probably go to the warrior college, and then be a soldier, and live a thrilling life. By the way, Mei Mi, what plans do you have for the future.”
The girl showed a charming smile. " Kim, it is polite to say your plan before asking others.”
"I, I, plan to go to the ordinary school to learn the skills of the blacksmith, and then become the blacksmith of the village, so that the villagers want to repair things do not run to the town.”
"It's a realistic ideal, but your physique makes you a blacksmith.man of unusual strength!”
"Well, now say your ideal!”
The girl smiled and ran away. " Don't tell you!”
"How dare I play me. Don't run."Said to catch up.
They laughed and rolled down the grassy slope.
"Ah," the girl suddenly cried out, " something stabbed me, so painful!”
When the two stopped fighting, Mimi's hands were already bleeding.
"Something," fixed the maiden's eyes on a necklace hanging from gold's neck, a rather strange one. On the pendant of the necklace is a circle, among which is a six stars, with the six corners protruding out of the circle, and it is these six corners that cut the girl's hand.
"This, is the mother-in-law at the entrance to me. You see, this is a magic item, as long as open it "gold said demonstration, pendant with six mount star Angle for connected into two faces, a smooth as a mirror, another surface is engraved with a few words," the smooth face yourself, and then read the spell, it will appear their image, as long as don't read out remove the spell, image will not disappear, amazing!”
"forsooth?let me try.”
"I'm sorry, although my mother-in-law taught me several times, but I just can't remember those stubborn curse words, want to try, only to go to my mother-in-law there.”
Mei Mi put down the pendant disappointed, " No, my mother told me not to go to my mother-in-law in the village.”
"Why, my mother-in-law is definitely not a bad person.”
"You don't know? Mother said, the village that mother-in-law is a bad woman!”
"why?”
"I heard that before, she abandoned her childhood sweetheart boyfriend for money and married a rich aristocrat as a concubine. Later, she was abandoned by the aristocrat because of the jealousy, so she moved to the countryside. My mother looked down on her very much! However, that kind of vain woman, most people will look down upon.”
"Well," Kim glanced at the magic necklace around his neck, with a slight expression out of his age. " But she was a poor mother-in-law.”
"Don't say that, but why did she give you this necklace? A magic necklace is a pretty valuable thing.”
Hearing this, Kim's face suddenly turned red, and he remembered when her mother-in-law gave him the necklace.
"This necklace to you, this is a necessary product between lovers oh, as long as the sweetheart's face printed on it, no matter how far can see the appearance of the lover, no matter how long apart can feel the existence of each other.”
"Mother-in-law, I cannot accept such an expensive gift.”
"Silly child, Mei Mi is a very good girl, and Ken, is also a strong opponent, if you do not work hard, but will be taken away, well, do not blush, take this necklace, early to Mei Mi confession, and then print her image on it, and there will be no chance in another month." ..."
"No why, by the way, how is your hand?"King tried to turn the subject.
"It's all right. Look, the blood has stopped."The girl raised her wrist.
"Meimi!”
"What's up?”
"After a month, we will choose our own future and enter different schools. Maybe we will not meet again for a long time, so, there is one thing I want to tell you now.”
“???”
"Meimi, gold!"A string of cries from down the mountain interrupted what Kim was about to say.
A blond teenager was running towards the two.
"Ken, I thought you weren't coming today!"
"Ha, ha, ha," the blonde, "a little unexpected today."
"What's up?"The two men said in unison.
"Congratulations to me, the village chief just told me that I have been admitted to the Soldier College!”
"congratulations!"The young girl jumped up with joy.
"Isn't there still a month left to take the exam?"Kim was happy with some questions.
"The village head recommended me in the name of the village, exempt from the examination!”
"Well done, future General!"
"Don't say that, I have no ambition to be a general."The blonde boy showed an embarrassed expression.
"Well, well, King, to celebrate Ken's admission to the warrior school, we went home until dark today.”
"approve of!”
"approve of!”
The three men began to run in the setting sun. Kim ran at the end, in his heart, there is a little regret —— if the Ken later, he can confess to the United States.
Trainee wizard gold awake from hazy state, shook his head to drive the sleeper from the mind —— any apprentice wizard in the "wing" (a low wind magic flight spell, can only determine the casting height and flight direction, suitable for long travel) flight after three hours will feel tired.
"How far is the way from home," Kim thought, about three to five hours, five years since my last home, I can't remember the distance of the road. Now it is really strange, originally wanted to become a blacksmith he has become a magician.
Everything on that day, one day at the age of thirteen, like all his peers, a person to the city, to choose their future (lost the custom of the mainland, young people to thirteen must decide their future), like all curious children, he looked to every registration. In his original to go to the skill college registration has been quite a lot, the soldier college registration is overcrowded, each college registration has a lot of people, in addition to the magic school. He felt so strange that he could not help asking people.
"The sorcerer is a profession with no future," explained to him by a queue at the warrior college registry,
"Soldier college from thirteen years old, can graduate from five years later, after graduation is eligible to join the army, if well, 22 from trainee swordsman promotion to swordsman or knight, thirty can become or swordsman, senior knight, if capable, before forty years can become swordsman or paladin (the two titles lost on the mainland is not just hard work can get, if there is no talent and teacher, a lifetime of). And the magician academy, at the age of thirteen, the graduation time varies from eight to fifteen years, once graduated, just an ordinary apprentice magician, and the average age of the magician is forty,
No 50 almost no big magician (big magician is the limit of ordinary people, again high title in addition to the gifted, few people can achieve), before is difficult to become a priest or god officer, want to become a great teacher (the title is not awarded by an organization, when your power to reach a unbelievable degree, others will automatically call you) is at least eighty years old. What's more, the magician is weaker than the soldier, a magician who has studied for thirteen years can not beat a soldier who has learned the sword art for five years.“
No wonder not many people want to be magician.
When Kim was going to line up at the registration office of the skills college, just to see a person to the registration office of the magic college, feeling strange that Kim could not help but ask him the same question.
"Oh, this," The young man, who looked like the son of a rich family, replied, "You are really a hillbilly, you don't even know this, if you graduate from the technical college, you can only be a craftsman all your life, and if you become a soldier, it is very difficult to get ahead. Everyone else is buried somewhere else. But the magician is different, after graduation do not want to join the army can also go home, at home can slowly study magic, unlike soldiers, do not participate in actual combat will never be able to improve their level. Therefore, the magician is the safest, once you pass the exam of the great magician, you can immediately become a person that countries compete to invite, and obtain a very high social status. In case of war, magicians are one of the most protected arms on the battlefield and are least likely to die in battle."
"But I hear that magicians are quite weak.”
"A countryman like you certainly don't know," the other person made a helpless gesture."By giving the magician enough time to read the spell, a magician can kill ten warriors (author note: before the apprentice magician finishes reading the spell, a trainee swordsman can have enough time to kill the ten apprentice magician).”
When the two people dialogue, and a few people joined the magic school of the registration team, imperceptibly, Kim became a member of the registration team.
"Well, Pawn, come here tomorrow for the exam."The man who was talking to Kim agreed and left.
"next",
"─ ─ ─"
"next"
“───”
"Hey, what's your name?" The voice was impatient and shouted loudly.
Standing, King was startled, " Kim, Kim * Cali.”
"Are the locals?”
"To.”
"Kim, Rolls, well, come here tomorrow for the exam."
"Wait a minute, I......"
"next"
"Don't stop the road after the registration, boy," behind the man impatient, forcefully pushed the gold away.
"Oh"
Too late, so, Kim inexplicably in the magician college reported.
Helpless, in the skills college and again, gold returned home, even this matter also dare not say to parents.
"If you don't take the exam."King said to himself.
