Chapter 5 The smell of black gunpowder
"Xia Zuo..." Vivian murmured, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "He is very good. He likes to study and doesn't spend money like me. Although he is younger than me, he always takes good care of me when he is with me..."
As she spoke, Vivian's face turned red. She felt like she had said the wrong thing, and the ones she said just now... had a strange feeling.
She stopped and glanced at Fanni quietly. Seeing Fanni listening carefully, she was looking up at the demon blue parrot on the dead tree branch, without showing any strange appearance, nor looking at herself. She felt relieved for some reason and asked softly: "Why would the teacher ask him?"
"Oh, nothing..." Fanni turned to look at Vivian, "Ask you casually, aren't you very close to him? Have you noticed any problems with him? Or something that makes you worried?"
"No, the teacher is so surprised today, why did you ask like this?" Vivian was a little surprised.
"I care about you, I'm the only apprentice like you..." Fanni said, and a faint smile appeared on her usually cold and arrogant face.
Although Fanny is very strict with Vivian, she really cares about Vivian.
She is a very strange person, and she is also very unique in the academy. She is not very sociable. She only has colleagues and has no close friends. She has a good relationship with the legendary fighter of the dean, Barnett, but this goodness is also based on her respect for the strong, and that's all.
"Have you seen him recently?" Fanni asked again.
"No..." Vivian shook her head, looking a little disappointed. She raised her hand and grabbed the sharp hat on her head, and said, "I have been looking for him several times, but I'm not here, I don't know where I've been."
Just as Vivian talked with Fanny, a breeze blew into the room. A black crow flew into the room with a gray stream of light from the porch inside the room. After hovering for a week, it fell beside Fanny.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, white mist rose, and the black crow turned into a woman, looking a few years older than Fanny, with flax-colored hair tied into a bun, with a wooden hairpin on it, and wearing a black wizard robe that also represents the level of the great wizard.
The woman's facial features are pretty, but she has a whole totem tattoo on her left cheek, which not only makes her lose the beauty she should have, but even looks a little ugly.
This woman is the owner of this "Gandalff Wizard Store". Solina Gandalf, whose strength has reached the Nine-Star Wizard. Her technique of change can be said to be superb. She is only one step away from breaking through the legend. She is powerful, but she is a very strange woman.
It is said that birds of feathers gather together, but in fact, this is true. Fanny has a strange temperament, and so is Solina, so the two of them are so strange that they have no friends.
"How do you have time to see me, my old friend?" Solina asked at Fannie, her soft voice contrasting with her appearance.
"Come on a walk, have you received good things here recently?" Fanni asked with a faint smile, while looking around.
"No." Solina shook her head immediately and said simply, as if she was afraid that Fanni would take away something.
"Oh..." Fanni responded indifferently, then looked at Vivian who was standing honestly on the side and said, "How is she? Have you caused you trouble?"
"She is so stupid, why did you accept such a stupid apprentice?" Solina said bluntly.
"How could I do..." Vivian immediately retorted, but whispered in a low voice, then lowered her head and pouted her mouth as if she was very dissatisfied.
Fanni smiled helplessly and did not mean to blame Vivian, because she knew Solina. This woman always liked to give people difficulties, and it was very weird. Not to mention Vivian, even she had suffered from Solina.

Xia Zuo won, and he won incrediblely. No one believed that Xia Zuo would win, but he really won.
He was hiding his strength, which was the sound of most people in their minds after the game, and a small part of them were thinking that Xia Zuo might be a powerful fighting pro, but this idea just flashed through his mind. No one was sure that Xia Zuo was really a fighting pro.
There are so many spectators at the scene, including many powerful fighting professionals. If Xia Zuo is really a fighting professional and uses the ability of a fighting professional to win, then someone will always see that, not to mention that no strong fighting professional will be bored to participate in such fighting competitions, which is a total waste of time.
Xia Zuo returned to Room 77 underground and passed through the underground square. He was greeted by a pair of different gazes. For them, Xia Zuo's previous label was always mysterious, but now, it is more powerful. Some even asserted that Xia Zuo's strength can rank among the top ten underground fighting arenas. Of course, some people think that Xia Zuo is just a strong explosive power and won by chance. In a short time, various rumors emerged about Xia Zuo.
Some people stepped up their investigation into Xia Zuo's identity, but basically no results were achieved. The official confidentiality measures of the underground fighting arena are very strict. Unless you are the Queen of England, don't want to let the underground fighting arena spit out any information about Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo never cared about the outside world. It has been nearly a year since he left the desert. Xia Zuo has lost his previous confusion and set two goals he pursued. One is to save enough money and buy a large ship that can wander on the sea to travel around the world. The other is to read books and read enough 10,000 books.
May 14, 1811.
After the game, Xia Zuo slept until late and woke up in the afternoon. After going to House to complete the off-season procedures, he left the underground fighting arena at 2:00 pm.
This is his first time in a month that he has left the underground fighting arena. Because of his ten consecutive victories, Shazo has qualified for the ultimate league, so this time, Shazo may not return to the underground fighting arena again in a few months.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the east of the British city, two or three shops opened their doors, but the business was bleak. A dilapidated blacksmith shop was filled with sounds of ironclads, and the dirty curtains blocked the door. People on the street could only see someone walking in the blacksmith shop, but because of the cover of the curtains, they could not see the specific situation in the blacksmith shop.
The dirty curtain was suddenly lifted open, and the thin palms were retracted into the robe. The figure covered by the black robe walked out of the blacksmith shop, stood on the street and looked around, then found the right direction and walked towards the Royal College of England.
Xia Zuo grew up in the desert. The harsh environment and special education gave him some abilities that ordinary people did not have. In the desert, he would never lose his way.
And in the city, he didn't know how to do it. Although he had only turned around twice, he had accurately remembered the various signs in the city, such as the bell tower standing high in the southeast. Therefore, he appeared in any place in the city and could walk back to the Royal Academy without asking for directions.
Xia Zuo didn't see it. Just as he had just walked out of the street outside the blacksmith shop, two figures immediately walked out of the blacksmith shop and followed Xia Zuo's footsteps.
After passing through several streets, Xia Zuo turned into a small alley, stood at the entrance of the alley and suddenly stopped. His nose moved, his brows frowned slightly, stretched his arms into his robe, and leaned in front of his nose to sniff.
The brows frowned deeper.
Xia Zuo's sense of smell was extremely keen. He smelled a special smell that kept lingering around him. He thought he had accidentally rubbed something on his body, but it wasn't... this smell kept following him.
