The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Karen Continent, Rose Kingdom, Oracle Town.

This is a town near the border of the Rose Kingdom, a small town with a population of less than 50,000. In the Rose Kingdom, there are as many such towns as stars.

Cross Street is a lively commercial street. There is a constant stream of people walking on this road paved with crushed bluestones. The shops on both sides are filled with a dazzling array of products. The bosses are also shouting hard, just so that the passing customers can take a look at their stores. of goods.

The white-haired old man sitting on the wooden deck chair looked at the crowded crowd and recalled the past.

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, Oracle Town was not called this name. At that time, the place was named Hongguo Town by the king because it was rich in red water berries."

"At that time, the water berries in Hongguo Town were designated as treasures that had to be paid tribute to the royal capital every year. Many young men worked hard to cultivate the land in order to grow beautiful and delicious red water berries."

"At that time, the big tree in the center of the cross street was just a sapling, and there used to be a small flower bed there. If a young man met a girl he liked, he would go there to pick the flower he thought was the most beautiful. Give it to the girl you love."

"The girl who was given flowers would probably blush, lower her head, put her hands behind her back, and respond to the boy coquettishly."

"If the girl is willing to grow old together with the boy, the girl will let the boy wear the flower in her ear."

"If she is unwilling, the girl will gently take the flower and plant it again in the flower bed to bless the next person who seeks love."

"Later, the war came, and the orc army arrived here."

"later."

"later."

Vivian was cleaning the house while listening to the old man's chatter outside the house.

She has heard this story told by Grandpa Fike countless times, but the old man always forgets the plot halfway through the story, which makes Vivian, who likes to listen, feel helpless.

Grandpa Fike’s memory is too bad!

Vivian was thinking while speeding up the cleaning action on her hands. Her white hands seemed a little inconsistent with the fine calluses on her hands.

Although she may be small, when it comes to work, her speed is not inferior to that of Aunt George next door.

Because she is a serious magic apprentice!

Her long silver-white hair was tied behind her back with a linen string, and the large work clothes looked a bit funny on her body, but Vivian didn't care about it.

What worries her most is that she is 1.5 meters tall. Every time she cleans the dust on the cabinets, she has to stand on tiptoe on a wooden stool to reach it, and it is also very slow to wipe away.

And this will waste a lot of your meditation time.

Today is the day of the magician examination. After finishing this part-time job, she will hurry up and change into the magician robe and go to the academy to take the summoning exam.

"Ouch!"

Just as she was thinking about today's exam, a light green blade suddenly fell and accidentally cut her finger.

Vivian frowned and put the bleeding finger into her mouth and sucked it. She carefully placed the sharp knife in its original position.

He found a wooden box and carefully pressed it down, and then continued working.

ten minutes later

"Grandpa Fike, I have also cleaned up the room. Please remember to wait before going back to the house. The floor that has just been mopped will be a little slippery."

The old man didn't seem to hear the girl's voice. He was still lying on the chair, thinking about the story he had forgotten.

"Later. Later"

Vivian was used to this kind of conversation. She took off her work clothes, turned around and picked up her patched white mage robe and mage hat from the clothes rack at the door, squeezed into the crowd, and ran towards the college.

The entrance of Oracle Town Magic Academy

"Vivian! You're late again!"

Carol stopped Vivian with ease. She knew this troublesome student very well, and she was right to squat her at this time every day.

I almost got in!

Vivian raised her head and looked at Teacher Carroll in a blue robe with ruby ​​eyes, thinking helplessly.

"Don't you know what day today is? Don't you know how important the summoning exam is?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carroll, I didn't mean to be late."

Vivian bowed to the teacher at a standard 90 degrees, but her wide pointed magic hat almost fell to the ground, and she was in a panic for a moment.

Carol looked at the clumsy Vivian and sighed.

"follow me."

Vivian lowered her head and followed obediently behind the teacher, like an eagle catching chicks, following closely behind its mother.

"By the way, take this and eat it on the way."

Vivian's hand dropped, and it was a bag of exquisite honey snacks. She had seen this kind of snacks on the cross street. This bag cost one silver coin.

She had never eaten such expensive snacks. If she had the money, she could go to Aunt George and buy a hundred pieces of brown bread. This would be enough food to sustain her for a month.

Although she actually saved a lot of money, those

She raised her head, looked at the back of the golden curly hair, and moved the corners of her mouth to say something.

As if there were eyes behind his back, Carol said without looking back:

"Don't think too much about it, I just don't want my students to faint on the summoning platform because they haven't eaten enough. That would be embarrassing for me."

Vivian lowered her head, took out a small snack and put it into her mouth. The silky taste of honey and milk filled her mouth.

This snack is so sweet, it makes me want to cry.

"Teacher Carroll is such a gentle person."

——————

The magic academy in Oracle Town is not large in scale.

After all, there is only one person in a million who truly has magic qualifications. The vast majority of students in magic academies can only stop at the stage of magic apprenticeship and never progress further.

The vast majority of apprentices just received magic education here, learned a little magic knowledge, and then bid farewell to the mage dream and went home to inherit the family property.

That's all.

"We're here, go in. Remember what I said, feel the magic nodes calmly, don't be anxious, as long as you build a stable magic circle, you will be able to summon low-level elemental life."

Carol turned around and saw Vivian with bulging cheeks nodding vigorously. She sighed helplessly, summoned a ball of water, and floated it in front of Vivian's eyes.

"Drink some water. It doesn't matter. There's still half an hour before the exam starts. There's no need to rush."

Carol said hello to the teacher who was proctoring the exam at the door, and watched Vivian enter the summoning classroom.

"Come on, little guy, no matter what you summon, as long as the summoning is successful, you have passed the exam."

Carol muttered silently in his heart, praying to the God of Magic to take care of this poor child.

The Summoning Classroom is a circular building nearly 20 meters high and 100 meters long. The space is very large. In the center is a 1-meter-high round platform. Surrounding the round platform are rows of stone seats for the convenience of students and teachers. Summon results.

The reason why this place is so big is because seniors at the higher level will also take summoning exams here. Most of the monsters they summon are very large. If the classroom is too small, the roof may be broken by the summoned monsters. Awkward situation.

It is worth mentioning that the annual graduation ceremony of the Magic Academy is also held here. After all, this is the largest classroom in the academy.

The town's apparent funds are not enough to build a special awards classroom.

At this time, there were no empty seats in the quiet classroom. The students closed their eyes and meditated quietly, hoping to get a satisfactory summoned beast. The teachers in the first row tilted their heads and communicated softly, while the others It is the seniors or juniors who come to observe.

"Wow"

Vivian attracted the attention of everyone as soon as she entered the examination room.

Just because her unique long silver-white hair and patched robe are so dazzling.

Beauty is original sin.

"Is this the girl? I heard that she works outside every day? It's really embarrassing for a magician!"

"I heard that her magic aptitude is not good, and John even said so."

"You deserve it, look at that long silver hair, you look like a bitch seducing men."

"Maybe it's in the wine bar."

Vivian didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, glanced around, and found her seat in the second to last row.

There were constant words directed at her along the way, and it was obvious that she had a high reputation in the academy.

"John and her?"

"Yes, it's her."

"What's with those tattered clothes? Are they sewn with her aunt's torn socks?"

"Hahaha, Jess, you disgust me."

"A poor man still wants to be a magician"

The short-haired female classmate sitting next to her shrank to one side as if she was afraid that her clothes would rub against her.

“What bad luck”

Vivian heard the complaints next to her, but she didn't care about it. She just closed her eyes quietly and began to meditate.

Gossips cannot affect her, and caring too much about other people's words will only make her fall into the abyss.

She had been preparing for so long just for today.

"quiet!"

A teacher in gray robe stood on the podium and stopped the increasingly heated discussion.

Half an hour later, the old man in gray robe standing on the round platform coughed, and the classroom door was slowly closed. He slowly explained the exam rules to the candidates in the audience.

"The exam begins now. When the candidates hear their names, they come up to the stage and use the magic circle under their feet to summon their first summoned beast."

"Based on the type and strength of your summoned beasts, I and the other three teachers will give you a score."

"Candidates who fail the summoning will not be able to participate in this year's practical classes, which means they will not be able to graduate from the magic academy and can only graduate as a magic apprentice, so please focus on the exam."

The candidates in the audience listened quietly to the examination rules.

Vivian also listened attentively. She had been preparing for this exam for five years. She had to work three part-time jobs every day and had to live frugally, just to be able to scrape together the materials needed for the summons.

The summoning circle requires routine maintenance, which is a huge expense and needs to be deducted from the students' tuition fees.

Summoning monsters also requires spending magic cores to activate. Even the lowest level magic core costs more than 10 gold coins.

"It must succeed!"

Vivian held the first-order green wind attribute magic core tightly in her hand and stared at the summoning platform intently.

"Then I announce that the exam has begun!"

"First Candidate: John Chick"

A boy in the third row wearing a black robe stood up and walked down the steps facing everyone's gaze.

With his blond curly hair and kind smile, you can tell at a glance that he must be a sunny boy.

When passing Vivian's seat, he glanced at the silver-haired girl provocatively.

The boy's voice echoed in her ears like a devil's whisper.

"You can't escape my grasp, Vivian"

"Invite candidates to take the exam"
