The invisible light swept through the bodies of Felipe and the mysterious man, and the silver-grey door opened back, showing a colorful honeycomb-shaped corridor.

On the corridor, an old man wearing a bright red magic robe was looking at them with lightning eyes, and his head was covered with face: "Is Blaze here just now? Otherwise Hathaway's experiment will not be inexplicable!" And, I can feel it! "

The young man whispered his teeth quietly: "Maybe ..."

Then he said innocently: "What the hell happened?"

…………

when!

The "Bone Wall Clock" on the Academic Affairs Tower made a long but cold sound.

Downey just carved the last line in his soul, so the spell model collapsed inwards, madly absorbing the sea of ​​energy, life and death intertwined, "power" continued to split and grow, bringing turbulent and violent The change.

When everything subsides, Downey's soul has a more complex "crystal", which flows mysteriously, contains mysterious mystery, and is a visual representation of some kind of law. This also shows that Downey has crossed the apprenticeship and became a Official magician!

This is a dream breakthrough for countless magic apprentices, but most apprentices are hard to get their wish.

As long as you become a formal magician, you can not only gain the power to kill apprentices and ordinary people easily, but also automatically become a municipal councilor in your hometown. It is equivalent to the Lord and the ordinary baron. For civilian children, it is a step into the upper class!

Downey, who was from a poor background, looked at himself with joy. Since he almost touched the "black armor" a few months ago, he and Carl and Sami had never had a similar nightmare. They lived a stable life, learned at ease, and were spirited. The breakthrough in power seems to be a lot easier than before, so after Karl and Sami, they can successfully break through before the new year!This is also a good result among the apprentices of Heidler School of Magic over the years.

Although some of them became full-time magicians before being admitted to the Heidler School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the vast majority of apprentices were only qualified to hit the official rank at the end of the first school year. Few people could break through before the new year.

"... It feels like those nightmares brought about the refinement of the soul, so the growth of mental power will be much faster and the foundation is solid ..." Downey thought thoughtfully, "This is just a nightmare, if in the end What happens when you touch the black body armor? "

"It ’s not right, maybe it ’s controlled by the black armor. You ca n’t be too greedy ... Well, take a look at the New Year ’s holiday home and thank you Mr. Doros by the way. Without his generous help, I would like to become a formal master. Know how long to wait ... "

…………

At the end of the Arctic Calendar for 24 years, the end of the freezing month, the cold wind lingered, the water dripped into ice, and the frozen pedestrians "shrinked" tightly in the coat, the hat pressed low.

"It was so cold unconsciously ..." On the six-pointed star platform, Karla pulled his men's suit and exhaled deliberately, so his mouth was filled with white gas, like mist.

Although Downey has become a formal magician, he has not blessed himself with a spell that resists cold at this time, so he also shivered and gathered his black magic robe: "Yeah, it is only when there is winter in Luntat. feel."

The Heidler Academy of Magic is located in the Necromantic Realm. It has constant seasons and monotonous silence. The temperature is adjusted by the fan lock. It is difficult for people inside to feel the change of seasons. The infection is similar, and there is magic air conditioning in the magic steam train to heat it. Therefore, in addition to the snow on the way, Downey and Calfang feel the winter.

"I have to go home, see you after the New Year's leave." Carl smiled sweetly, and then he waved his hand, "Yes, Happy New Year!"

Sami and Jones were separated from them at the Heidler platform, after all, the route was different.

Watching Carl disappear to the crowd on the platform, Downey sighed slightly, and half a year later, he was still not very suitable for Karl's appearance.

He shook his head, got rid of this thought, and walked out of the platform. He had already booked a ticket to return to his hometown and town tomorrow. Today, he has to visit and thank Mr. Doros and several teachers who took care of himself when he went to school.

Near Triumph Square, Donny rushed towards the "Knowledge Bookstore", and wanted to tell Mr. Doros the good news of his promotion to the official mage as soon as possible. This is a normal and simple "show off" and "share" mentality, Tang Nina can be vulgar.

"How could this be?" Downey stood blankly in front of the "knowledge bookstore", not understanding what happened.

I saw the door of the "knowledge bookstore" closed tightly, with several pieces of paper stuck on it, slightly dim.

"How could it be closed?" Downey approached in surprise, carefully discerning the words on the note.

"The shop owner evaded tax and evaded tax, and it was sealed up. Holm Tax Office."

"The suspected sale of prohibited books is subject to joint seizure. The Department of Corrections of the Magic Council, Holm Police Department."

"Suspected of selling fake and inferior magic items, it is specially confiscated. The Department of Corrections of the Magic Council, Luntat City Hall."

...

Downey stared at these seals in a stunned voice, muttering to himself: "What the hell did Mr. Doros ..."

Ten years ago, with the further popularization of magic items and the increasing number of different types of alchemy workshops, social life in Holm has undergone great changes. One of the distinctive features is that the division of labor is getting smaller and smaller. The Duke Heinrich, Prime Minister, split the previously mixed government departments to deal with this situation.

Although it seemed that Mr. Doros had committed a crime, but thinking of his help to him, Downey refused to leave, found another small shop owner nearby, and asked carefully.

"A few months ago, the person in the tax office summoned Doros to say that he evaded taxes."

"After being summoned, Doros never came back. In the next few days, people came to post seals, hey, a total of several."

"I heard that Doros was imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Prison. It will take at least five or six years before he is released."

In the face of Downey, who wears the official mage coat of arms on the chest, the bosses of the nearby shops dare not hide, nor dare to use their own nicknames for tax officers and policemen.

"Forbidden Demon Prison ..." Downey whispered in a whisper, struggling to hesitate for a moment, but decided to visit Mr. Doros, after all, he helped him a lot.

Unfortunately, Downey was quickly disappointed, because the members of the Parliament told him that the demon prison that held Doros was far away, and his vacation was only enough to go back and forth. So, according to the staff ’s suggestion, he wrote He wrote a letter to Doros and left his contact point.

…………

Woo!

Dang Dang Dang Dang!

The sound of the train entering the station scared all the children playing nearby withdrawing with horror, and even the surrounding adults were slightly afraid. The town had not been connected to the railway for a long time. The residents here were not used to running on their own. Behemoth.

Downey walked slowly down the magic steam train. The sight was a familiar building, a familiar distant mountain, and a complex emotion in his heart.

"Huh, isn't that Downey of the Whites?" There are not many residents in the town, and they are familiar with each other.

"Yeah, it's Downey. It seems to have grown up a lot. Wait a minute, the badge on his magic robe seems to have changed?"

"A black ring on the silver background, he, he is a noble mage!"

In the blink of an eye, the residents of the small town that Downey was familiar with changed their eyes, full of awe and envy. It seems that this is no longer Downey they know, but a stranger mage who is more honorable than the old town mayor!

Although they have n’t seen the official magician a few times, every time the meticulous hospitality of the mayor has left a deep impression on them. Unconsciously, the naughty child in the neighbor ’s house has become the high magician Mr.?

The change in the attitude of the residents can't hide the increasingly keen Downey. He is a little uncomfortable, a little emotional, and a little heartfelt. It is no wonder that everyone wants to be a magician and a noble, at least if he can really explore the world. Before, this kind of feeling can urge oneself to work hard.

After a brief stagnation, someone left the platform and shouted loudly: "White, White! Your little Downey is back! He has become Mr. Magician!"

Donny quickly stepped up and greeted the platform exit.

It did n’t take long for a middle-aged man who seemed to be polished by wind and frost to appear on the street near the platform. He was old and gray-haired, and if there were no wrinkles, he was believed to be in his 50s or 60s. Behind it is a fat middle-aged woman and a young girl with youth.

The expressions of the three people were equally excited and joyful, and the two ladies were already in tears.

"Father, mother, Lily ..." Downey walked past with a slightly choked voice.

His father White held his hand tightly and patted hard: "Okay, okay, okay ..."

At this moment, Downey feels that his hard work and dangerous experience are worth it!

…………

After spending the New Year leisurely and happily, Downey is very satisfied with his life. The only unpleasant point is that the town is still very backward. Not only are the street lights near the platform, not even the home TV, only in the town Listen to the "Voice of Mystery" in the open space of Dongtou.

On this day, Downey just had to go out with his parents and sister to listen to the "Sound of Mystery", and suddenly saw a carriage engraved with the noble's coat of arms stopped in front of him.

"Hello, respected Mr. White, my host Baron Hurdos wants to invite you to visit his manor, and I hope you can help him solve a problem that has troubled him for a long time." A butler-looking man on the carriage.

Downey knew that Baron Heldos was the lord of these small towns, and he did not dare to neglect: "I do n’t know what it is? If I can help, I will definitely go."

The housekeeper did not conceal: "My host has an old castle, which often shows signs of haunting. I have asked several magic apprentices and mages to help, but it has no effect. Two of the apprentices are still dead. I heard that you have become The official magician is also a student of the Heidler College of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so my host sincerely asks for your help, you are a professional. "

Downey was a little reflective of this kind of thing, but before he could turn it down, he heard the butler say: "Whether you can succeed or not, my host will pay you ten queen gold coins. If this matter can be resolved, there are more!"
