The librarian finished reading the cross referencing section and returned to the first entry, staring at it with deep black eyes for a long time. Then he carefully put the book back in place, crawled under his desk, and pulled up the blanket to cover his head.
In the long corridor prepared for the troubadours above the hall, Carding and Zert both stared at the scene below, but their emotions were completely different from those of the librarian.
These two people stood shoulder to shoulder, almost identical in appearance to the Arabic numeral 10.
What's going on? "Zinc asked. He didn't sleep all night and his mind wasn't very clear.
Magic is flowing into the university, "Carding said." That's what the Grand Mage means. The conduit of magic. True magic, my child. It's not the old stuff we've been making do with for centuries. This is new... new - "
Uh, new life
Exactly. This is a moment full of miracles, one... one -
Miracle moment
Kading frowned. Yes, "he said finally," that kind of thing, I guess. You're quite skilled in language and writing, you know
Thank you, brother
The high-level wizard seems to have not noticed the other party's familiar address. He turned around and leaned against the carved armrest, watching the magic show below. His hands automatically reached into his pockets, searching for his cigarette bag; But he stopped, grinned and snapped his fingers. A lit cigarette appeared in his mouth.
I haven't been able to do this for many years, "he pondered." The upheaval, my child. They haven't realized it yet, but this is the end of sects and levels. It's just a system of rationing, we no longer need them. Where is the boy
Still sleeping, "Zinert said.
I'm here, "Ke Yin said.
He stood under the archway leading to the residence of the high-ranking wizard, holding the eight iron forged staff in his hand, which was twice as tall as him. The yellow flames formed small patterns that shimmered on the dull black surface of the wand. That black is really dim, almost like a crack in the world.
Zinc felt as if he had been pierced by a golden gaze, as if the other party was reading his deepest thoughts from the back of his head.
Ah... "He thought his voice was cheerful and loving, but in fact, it was just like choking up before he died. After such a beginning, his contribution to this conversation could only get worse and worse. That's exactly what happened. It seems like you, um, got up, "he said.
My dear child, "Carding said.
Ke Yin stared at him for a long time, his eyes cold.
I saw you last night, "he said." Are you strong
Just a little bit, "Carding quickly remembered that the child had a bad tendency to see magic as a life and death battle for the strong," but definitely not as good as you, I dare say
I'm going to become the principal, just like my fate
Oh, absolutely, "Carding said," without a doubt. Can I take a look at your wand? What an interesting design -
He extended a fleshy hand.
This behavior is a gross violation of etiquette no matter what. A wizard should not even think about touching someone's wand without their explicit consent. But some people just can't believe that children are also completely human, always feeling that ordinary politeness doesn't need to be applied to them.
Kading's fingers gripped the black staff.
The following noise did not seem to pass through Zinc's eardrum, but rather felt directly by the body. Carding bounced and hit the wall opposite the long corridor, making a sound like a sack of fat pork falling onto the sidewalk.
Don't do this, "Ke Yin said. He turned his head and his gaze passed through Zinc, making her pale. Then he added, "Help him up. He's probably not seriously injured
The chief steward hurriedly ran over and bent down to examine the injuries of Carding. The old wizard breathed heavily and his face was also very peculiar. Zinc patted his hand until he opened one eye.
Did you see what just happened? "Carding asked in a low voice.
I'm not sure. Hmm, what just happened? "Ziert hissed.
It bit me
Next time you touch my wand, "Ke Yin said with a professional expression," you're doomed. Do you understand
Carding lifted her head gently to prevent any fragments from falling off.
I completely understand, "he said.
Now I want to see college, "the boy continued," I've heard many stories related to it
Zinc helped Carding stand up, then helped him and obediently ran behind the boy.
Don't touch his wand, "murmured Carding.
I will remember, um, not touching it, "Zinert said firmly." What does it feel like
Have you ever been bitten by a viper
No
You can completely understand what that feels like
Ah.
That doesn't feel like a snake bite at all
They quickly caught up with Ke Yin's resolute figure, and the boy strode down the stairs, passing through the magnificent arch leading to the hall.
Zinc sprinted ahead, desperately trying to leave a good impression on the opponent.
This is the hall, "he said. The golden eyes of Ke Yin turned towards him, and the wizard immediately felt dry in his mouth. "It's called that because it's a hall, you understand. And it's very big," he said
He swallowed saliva. It's a very big hall, "he struggled desperately, but could only watch his last bit of organization burn away by the searchlight like gaze." It's a very big hall, that's why it's called -
Who are those people? "Ke Yin pointed at the staff. When he entered, the wizards gathered in the hall turned around one after another, and now they were all busy retreating, as if the wand was a flamethrower.
Zinert followed the gaze of the Grand Master, and Koyin referred to the portraits and sculptures decorated on the wall. The former principals had long beards, wore pointed hats, and held either magnificent scrolls or symbolic astrological equipment in their hands; Their gaze upon sentient beings is filled with a strong sense of arrogance, which may also be due to long-term constipation.
From these walls, "Carding said," two hundred of the greatest wizards look down upon you
I don't like them, "Ke Yin said, and the staff shot out an eight colored flame. The principals have all disappeared without a trace.
And the window is also too small -
The ceiling is too high -
Everything is too old -
Watching the wand flicker and spew fire, the wizards fell to the ground one after another. Zinc pulled down his hat to cover his eyes and rolled under a table. The entire structure of the university floats around him. The wood creaked and the stones groaned in pain.
Something knocked on his head. He screamed.
Shut up! "Carding tried to cover up the noise around her," Pull up your hat again! Show some dignity
What are you doing under the table again? "Zinert's words were filled with a sour taste.
We must seize the opportunity
What, like grabbing a wand
Come with me
Zinert drilled out and found a bright new world outside. A terrifying yet bright new world.
