In the blink of an eye, the year has passed, and the month of recovery has quietly arrived.
In the mortal world, the beginning of the year is worth celebrating. No matter which country, celebrations have begun. In the first few days of the new year, most cities stay awake all night.
But in the world of wizards, many wizards just close their eyes, and when they open their eyes, another year has passed. Some people even study a spell for ten or eight years. Wizards with long lifespans never get upset because of the turn of the year.
Feeling celebrated.
For them, the only reaction to the New Year is probably to sigh: "Hey, another year has passed?"
However, for Angel, the new year means that the five-year period is getting closer and closer. The sense of urgency in his heart has also begun to rise in his throat. He originally had very little rest time, but now
He squeezed every minute and every second to lay a solid foundation and improve his own strength, almost without sleeping for half a month.
With his current strength as a second-level peak apprentice, if he hasn't slept for a month or two, he will be mentally exhausted at most, but there is no physical problem.
When the tenth day of the first ten days of the month of recovery arrives, the purification garden also enters its real start-up stage.
…
The Moon of Recovery means that the goddess of spring has returned to the world, and all things are about to recover from the ice. But in fact, during the month of recovery every year, the goddess of spring is in a standby state, and it is not until the moon of flowers that the frozen world will be restored.
It will thaw slowly.
However, the Flower Moon is still more than two months away.
Therefore, when the Purification Garden was opened, the entire Mechanical City was still shrouded in heavy goose feather snow. The breath exhaled from the mouth could condense into frost mist.
On the Champagne Road——
Because today was the day when the Purification Garden was opened, most of the apprentices staying here began to walk towards the opposite side of the Machinery City. For a moment, the usually deserted streets suddenly became lively, with demons dancing around and wearing strange clothes.
Several figures flew across the sky from time to time, and their targets were pointed in the direction of the Purification Garden.
When the large crowd had almost left, the door of Kihara Bar was pushed open, and Nausicaa, San and Shiliu also walked out, followed the crowd, and left slowly.
To be precise, Nausicaa was walking, San was sitting on Ganke's left shoulder, and Shiliu was sleeping on Ganke's right shoulder.
"Alas -" Shan sighed, with a hint of sadness on her young face, looking at Xi Liu who was sleeping on the other side, "Is it really okay for her to go like this? If she encounters danger in the Purification Garden
, fell asleep again, isn’t this life lost in vain?”
Xiliu didn't seem to feel the danger that he might face at all, with a calm smile on his face, as if he was experiencing a beautiful dream.
Nausicaa also had worries flashing in her eyes about Xi Liu's always falling asleep regardless of the occasion, but she thought more about Shan's sentimentality than Shan's sentimentality. She mused: "Since Xi Liu's mentor has let her go
, I think there should be a way to solve her drowsiness problem. Moreover, none of us can always be responsible for others, and she should always face the future on her own."
Shan pouted: "You always like to preach, next time you and Angel go to preach."
Nausicaa smiled softly: "Angel...he doesn't need me to worry. He sees better than me and knows how to act with caution. Sometimes I suspect that his age is fake.
When I'm dealing with him, I feel like I'm facing a peer."
"Really?" Shan tilted her head, her braid dangling upwards: "But I think he is quite immature. He is such a big man, but he is still afraid of people knowing that he likes milk."
Nausicaa asked rhetorically: "Isn't it nice to maintain a mature mind while still retaining a bit of innocence in your heart?"
"That's right." Shan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Nausicaa. However, she still sighed and redirected the topic to Shiliu: "But I am still worried about Shiliu. If she enters purification this time,
Garden, it would be great if I could meet Shiliu or you."
"Pray that you can meet Shiliu, what I say..." Nausicaa squeezed her right palm that shone with silver metallic luster, her eyes full of masculinity: "You will definitely survive."
Under the layers of dark clouds, snowflakes fell leisurely, falling on everyone's heads and on Nausicaa's fist.
It's like a hymn to the falling snow, and Nausicaa is a touch of red in the snow.
Soon, they left the main city area, passed through the gravity reaction door, and entered the inverted world - the reverse side.
This kind of inversion only looks like an inversion to outsiders, but it doesn't feel anything to the people walking in it.
There are more and more people around, and as far as Nausicaa can see, there are thousands of people. According to this ratio, the number of apprentices entering the Purification Garden will definitely exceed five figures, or even more...
Nausicaa noticed that most of the apprentices had smiles on their faces, and they were obviously still happy for the opportunity to be purified. What they didn't know was that maybe, this would be their last smile.
People who can ride flying vehicles in the sky or use the art of flying are almost all elite apprentices. But these people all have serious faces, and even they are prepared to do so, and what fun can there be for the unknowing little shrimps on the ground?
Can it be said?
You know, the Purification Garden will eventually lose 90% of its apprentices!
This means that no matter how bustling and busy it is now, the contrast will be even stronger when we return. Deserted and deserted may be good, but solitude may be the most realistic scene.
For a moment, Nausicaa and the others also stopped thinking. Only Shiliu was still sleeping, unaware of the outside light.
After passing through a long high wall made of metal, they came to a valley. The highlands on both sides were surrounded by metal walls, and there was hidden magic flowing around them.
When they gathered at the location pointed to by the invitation card, the figures here were already completely dark.
"Once you enter here, there is no way out." Nausicaa looked at the rows of magic eyes on the high ground and whispered.
Shan's expression also became serious, and she found that Gan Ke was trembling under her: "It seems that Mechanical City has made a big move this time. Gan Ke has an innate premonition of danger. It is afraid of the flow of magic power on the high ground."
With deep fear."
"After all, there are rules in this matter." Nausicaa sighed, "But how can there be any rules in the wizarding world?"
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
More and more people came to the valley. Their fancy clothes and various special effects were no longer enough to show their personal style. They began to use magic to drive away the people next to them. Whoever had more space around them also showed their individual strength.
Anyway, everyone went further and further away following the weird painting style.
The three of Nausicaa were also provoked, just because they chose a place under a big tree on the edge, and happened to walk into another person's magic circle. A man with heavy makeup and a tall scarf
Cloak, glared at Nausicaa with fierce eyes: "Dare to enter the warning range of my noble Prince Iberia, you want to die..."
Before he finished speaking, Nausicaa stretched out her palm and put it on his chest: "Go away, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
In an instant, the man turned into a spiral, drew a parabola through the air, and hit the mountain wall heavily.
Nausicaa's action instantly caused a commotion among the surrounding crowd.
They whispered, speculated maliciously, and laughed at each other. But this had no effect on Nausicaa. Her palm really shocked outsiders, and no one dared to come forward.
"You are becoming more and more skilled in using the hurricane spiral. The man can still move after landing. Obviously you have kept your hands. Half a month ago, you couldn't even control it." No one came forward to interrupt, Shan also
Feeling at ease, he smiled at Nausicaa.
"I just have some experience using the magic conduit in my arm." Nausicaa smiled.
"From this point of view, these robotic arms are indeed more useful to you now than transplants. Transplantation may also cause rejection, but yours has no rejection at all, and it has greatly deepened your power." Shanyan.
A trace of envy flashed through her: "You are so powerful now, it makes me want to cut off my arm and get one."
Not to mention whether Shan can do it or not, her words also illustrate the power of the robotic arm.
During their chat, Shiliu, who had been sleeping, suddenly woke up and looked around with misty eyes: "Have you arrived at the Purification Garden?"
"Still at the gathering place, I don't know what the situation is yet." Nausicaa said.
Xiliu nodded, looked at the dense crowd around her, and frowned slightly. Then she suddenly covered her ears. She heard too many flowing sounds, some were harsh, some were dull, and some were noisy, which made her very sad.
Uncomfortable.
After a while, Shiliu finally calmed down a little.
"Are you feeling better now?" Shan worriedly asked. They knew Xiliu's talent. She was very sensitive to any flowing liquid. With so many people present, the sound of blood flow alone was enough to make Xiliu distressed for a while.
"I forgot to block out these noises just now. It's much better now." Xiliu's face was a little pale, "There are many powerful bloodlines here, and the blood flow is like a column of mercury, which is difficult to deal with."
"No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it's not as difficult as that group of people." Shan pointed to a plain area on the right side of the valley. There were almost no people there, and the emptiness was in stark contrast to other places.
"What's going on over there?" Xiliu asked curiously, "Why doesn't anyone go there?"
Xiliu noticed that there were only about ten people there, but they occupied an area of several miles. Some were floating in the air, some were leaning against the trees, and some were just sitting cross-legged, but there were no
When one person approaches the other side, it seems that each of them occupies one side.
"Because no one dares to go there." A faint light flashed in Nausicaa's eyes: "The people there are all elites of the major wizarding organizations, and their strength is outstanding among their peers."
Shan Ye nodded and counted in detail: "'Ice and Snow Dancing in the Sky' Shan Yeluo, 'Philosopher' Suya Tutai, 'Dream Reading' Froud, 'Associated Insect Tide' Yi Xiu..."
"These are all very famous apprentices." When Shan was about to finish reading, she kept looking around: "Strange... why don't you see Angel?"
Nausicaa shrugged: "I think with Angel's character, he shouldn't be so arrogant as to rush to show his face at this time. Moreover, there are only a dozen elite apprentices over there. Do you think there are only a dozen or so this time?
Do elite apprentices participate in the Purification Garden?"
As soon as Nausicaa finished speaking, Shiliu suddenly screamed, covered her ears and collapsed on Ganke's shoulder.
