The day when I was forcibly bound by an NPC

The elf calmed down for a while, and said casually, "It sounds like you have a good relationship with the mage?"

"It's okay, but why does your statement sound so strange? I wanted to be an apprentice with him before." Jiang Zhaonian said while digging grass with his head down.

"Did he promise you?"

"No, they said they would go through a probationary period."

The elf's eyes flickered.The mage didn't directly refuse?

He sneered in his heart, and he confirmed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, that guy was definitely very happy to accept his dear as an apprentice.

As for why he didn't agree directly... The elf secretly rolled his eyes, who knows what that Mensao was thinking.

He deserves to be poached by me.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the elf's face again.

"What inspection period?" He pretended to be surprised. "But the winter is coming to an end, so he should let you go back. He can't accept you as an apprentice and keep you there as a white worker."

"I don't know, he's mysterious. But I've already figured it out," Jiang Zhaonian shook off the soil from the grass roots and put it in the box, "I don't need to stay there so early until the spring begins." Go outside and look around, maybe he wants to take me in again when he comes back."

The elf was a little happy: "You are right, young people should go out to meet more people and see some scenery. Anyway, the mage is always here, and you can come back to him at any time."

It's just that the colorful world outside is so exciting, whether you still remember him by then is another matter.The elf smiled.

"Well...you're right." After these two days, Jiang Zhaonian became a little familiar with the stranger beside him, but he still felt that he was not used to this person's way of speaking.

He had finished gathering grass and was a bit tempted to go.But Jiang Zhaonian felt that it was inappropriate for him to throw away after using it up like this.So he patted the dust off his hands and stood up: "Thank you for bringing me here, you are so kind. Where is your home, shall I take you back?"

The elf's eyes lit up: "You want to go home with me?"

"Uh, no..." I just sent you back, how come it turned into going home with you?

But the elf quickly interrupted his unspoken words: "My house is in this direction, let's go!"

Just like that, Jiang Zhaonian, confused, went deeper into the mountains with him.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Jiang Zhaonian raised a topic: "By the way, I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Teves." The elf turned to look at him sideways.

"My name is Jiang Zhaonian, thank you so much these two days."

"Why are you so polite? I'm glad to meet you as a friend. Speaking of which, we are friends now... What are you thinking?"

"Ah, oh, I'm sorry," Jiang Zhaonian came back to his senses and scratched his head apologetically, "Of course we are friends! I just suddenly remembered that I haven't exchanged names with him since I've known him for so long. It’s amazing that no one noticed anything wrong, hahahaha!”

Elf: ...I'm so sour, so sour that my color changes.

"By the way, I heard that people outside the mountain have a custom of giving gifts to each other on days of great commemorative significance. Is this true?" For example, the two of us, new friend's anniversary or something, It's the perfect gift, isn't it?

The elf quietly changed the topic, trying to draw Jiang Zhaonian's attention away from the mage and back to himself.

"This still needs to be divided. Some people have this habit, some people don't... It's better to discuss it. Many good friends end up breaking up because the gifts given by the two parties are too unequal. .”

As Jiang Zhaonian said, he was really taken away by him, but the wrong direction may not be what the elves would like to see...

Jiang Zhaonian thought, yes, winter is coming to an end, and he will be separated from the mage soon.Should I have an impressive parting note for him?It’s best to hang it in front of him every day, so that you won’t be afraid to go out for too long, and he will forget about me and the inspection period when he comes back.

"If it were me, I would be very happy if my friends were willing to exchange gifts with me, so I wouldn't be angry with them... Living in the mountains, it's really hard to make friends." The elf tried hard to pretend to be an innocent and simple mountain resident , "Do you have anyone you want to exchange gifts with?"

"To tell the truth, I didn't before. Fortunately, you reminded me just now." Jiang Zhaonian said happily, he almost said the word "mage", and he remembered keenly that the elves seemed to have no impression of the mage along the way. Not very good, so he tactfully swallowed those two words back.

A friend of a friend is not necessarily your friend, Jiang Zhaonian understands this very well.In order to take care of friendship, it is better to say less about another friend in front of one friend.

The elf thought his suggestion was successful, and was very happy.During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the door of a cabin.

"Come in and sit?" Elf stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Zhaonian with a smile.

Jiang Zhaonian shook his head: "No, I'll go back and think about the gift first, but I have to prepare carefully."

The elf was a little disappointed, but was quickly soothed by his careful preparation of the gift.

So he didn't force anything, and easily let Jiang Zhaonian leave: "Okay. Let's see you tomorrow then?"

"Huh? Wait, did we make an appointment to do tomorrow?" Jiang Zhaonian froze for a moment, scratching his head in confusion, "I have enough frost grass, and I know the place, so I don't need to trouble you... "

The elf pursed her lips and showed a light smile: "Did you forget the gift you just said? Or is it too urgent for tomorrow, so should we make another appointment?"

Jiang Zhaonian blinked in surprise, he didn't expect Tevez to be so pure and enthusiastic... even willing to advise him on helping other people choose gifts.

After thinking about it, it was probably because this guy lived alone in the mountains, it was really lonely, so I made a new friend, so I wanted to do everything with him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaonian couldn't help showing some pity in his gaze: "Okay then, let's meet at the old place tomorrow?"

It would be good to have one more staff member, Jiang Zhaonian knew that he was not good at planning gifts like this.

Moreover, there may be some precious magic materials in this mountain. If you meet them, you can use them as an alternative, and mages will definitely like them.

Tivis received Jiang Zhaonian's friendly and gentle gaze, and a warm current surged in his heart.He nodded, waved goodbye to Jiang Zhaonian, and watched the back disappear completely from sight, and the faint smile that had been hanging on his face faded away.

Recalling Jiang Zhaonian's gaze before parting, Teves smiled from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that the corner of the mage's wall is not so difficult to dig. The lovely Niannian will soon be mine.

I really can't wait to see what gift I will prepare for him every year.

happy.

Jiang Zhaonian brought another box of Frostgrass back to the small courtyard, and the first thing he did was to run into the mage's studio yelling.

"Mage! Let me tell you," he patted on the table, leaned down and turned his head to look at the mage who was drawing something, "I just remembered one thing today."

The mage's handwriting drew a wrong line because of Jiang Zhaonian, and he frowned in displeasure: "What are you talking about?"

"I just remembered that I don't even know your name," Jiang Zhaonian said, "I only found out when I exchanged names with that person today! It's amazing."

The mage snorted nasally: "Let's wait until the day you become my apprentice."

"Hey," being rejected, the strange thing is that Jiang Zhaonian was not very discouraged, and even had a feeling that it was true. He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of this, um... I have a question for you, is there anything you like in particular?"

The mage frowned vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?"

"Uh..." Jiang Zhaonian hesitated whether to say it in advance.If it is said in advance, the sense of impact is discounted, and the commemorative significance and reminder function should also be discounted?

The mage noticed that the beginning of his previous sentence was "speaking of this".

"Speaking of the subject of apprentices"...?Does it have anything to do with my preferences?

The mage slightly distanced himself, and looked at Jiang Zhaonian suspiciously: "You are not trying to bribe me, are you? Even if you do that, I will not open the back door for you. You must pass the inspection before accepting you as an apprentice."

But the more Jiang Zhaonian thought about it, the more he felt that telling in advance would dilute the surprise, so he had to keep this matter a secret.So he pretended to be embarrassed and said according to his words: "Then I won't ask..."

Slip out the door in a blink of an eye.

The mage stopped writing, looked at the direction Jiang Zhaonian left, and slowly frowned.

He didn't expect Jiang Zhaonian to be so thoughtful, he looks like a decent person on weekdays, but now he wants to stay by his side at all costs?

But that's right, winter is coming to an end, and he should be anxious as each day goes by.

It's just... things are a little troublesome.

The mage pressed his forehead in annoyance, he didn't expect Jiang Zhaonian to rely on him to such an extent... Before passing the inspection period, this is not a good thing for anyone.

It's all my fault for being too indecisive. There are obviously many times in the middle, and I can be a little more indifferent.

But winter is coming to an end, and we will be separated soon... Sudden cold treatment at this time may not be of much use, but it will hit him hard.

The mage couldn't bear it, and gave up the idea of ​​alienating Jiang Zhaonian again in distress.He took the draft paper on one side, speeded up and put it into the design.

Let's make this thing as soon as possible, there is only so much he can help.

At the same time, Jiang Zhaonian nestled on the plank bed in his small room, biting a pen and meditating hard, and repeatedly added two horizontal strikethrough lines on a piece of paper the size of a palm.

Ahhh, what exactly do I need to prepare to gain enough presence before I leave, to show that I really sincerely value mages and magic... This kind of thing is really too difficult!

The author has something to say: I'm sorry that I'm a bit stuck today, it's later
