On this Tuesday night, many people did not sleep well.
Especially Zheng Qing.
Even though it was confirmed that his body was fine for the time being, the old wizards of the project team still left the transparent glass coffin in dormitory 403, but only dismantled the exquisite brass chair. The noise coming and going caused him
I couldn't sleep for half the night. On the contrary, in the same dormitory, the two companions outside the barrier could sleep peacefully. There was only a slight light pollution, and they were not affected at all by closing the curtains.
"This is just in case."
Before leaving the dormitory, Professor Monteria pointed to the transparent coffin and reminded Zheng Qing very seriously: "——If you feel unwell, you don't need to notify us, just open the lid and lie down in it. The school will be responsible for what happens next.
.”
Zheng Qing looked at the slowly rising green liquid in the coffin and expressed his gratitude.
The good news is that they only left the coffin, and the space resonator used to temporarily expand the dormitory area was not left. Zheng Qing at least did not need to worry about having to sprint 100 meters to go to the toilet when he got up in the morning.
The bad news is that Zheng Qing, as the only one who has not been affected by the abnormality, seems to have become the last healthy candidate in the 'Giant Soldier' project, which means that the last time Lao Yao gave him the advice to 'quit the project team', he wants to
Realization becomes increasingly elusive.
Wednesday morning.
Early in the morning, before Zheng Qing went to his morning classes, he sent the black gem cat that had just returned to the Sakura Tavern. In addition to the fact that this project of Edge College was a headache, he felt that he needed to hear about it
In addition to the advice from insiders, the 'injured' great wizard that Professor Monteria mentioned last night also made him feel a little uneasy.
The black gem cat sighed and trotted along the corner.
It wasn't until the sun was almost rising to the center that we arrived at Gudiao Street.
Different from the tense and quiet atmosphere that Zheng Qing imagined, today's wizards in the North District are busy as usual, and everyone's face is filled with natural vitality, and it doesn't look like Korma is in trouble.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she concealed the news of her injury.
It seems that Sakura Tavern is no longer open to the public.
At the very least, Black Jewel Cat didn't see any guests the two times he came.
As soon as it slipped into the tavern through the crack in the door, a cheerful voice sounded from behind the bar: "——I heard a magpie chirping in front of the door this morning. I didn't expect it was you here."
A group of fireflies clustered under the beams bulged their bellies.
A faint white light falls.
Illuminating the face of the bartender behind the bar.
Colma did not drink Siren Rum today, but took a bottle of Amber Light and was drinking it with relish on a plate of fried peanuts.
The black gem cat circled the plate of peanuts twice.
His eyes did not fall on the plate, but he kept raising his head and looking at the witch in front of him carefully, paying special attention to the lock of silver hair hanging down from her forehead, as if he wanted to count the number of white hairs she had.
Kolma held her chin up and looked at it with a smile.
Until the black gem cat was defeated by the opponent's calmness.
"Last night a lot of people rushed into my dormitory." It turned its head and described the situation last night in a rough voice, and finally looked at the owner of the tavern again: "——My body thought you were the one who was injured.
The great wizard."
"Me? Not me."
There was a trace of surprise on Kolma's face, and then she was relieved. The small wine glass in her hand gently hit the black gem cat's forehead: "He can remember to care about Chen Concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace. I am very grateful...
"
The black gem cat has black lines on his face.
As a dull stone, it felt that it could not bear the witch's teasing. No wonder the main body did not dare to come in person.
"——But that person is really not me."
Kolma calmed down a little and spoke in a more serious tone: "When you were conducting the assessment of qualified candidates, the other deans and I were watching... There is another great wizard among the qualified candidates, but according to the regulations
, His identity cannot be revealed to the outside world... Just like your identity as a qualified person, other qualified people don’t know it either.”
The black gem cat stepped on the tip of its tail.
"You seem to, seem to be," it tilted its head, frowned, and considered for a long time before it could find the right word: "You seem to be very calm?"
Yes, calm.
Colma was not disappointed or anxious about the failure of the Fringe Academy project, but was very calm and even a little happy? The black gem cat's eyes fell on the bottle of amber light.
Intuition tells it that this bottle of wine is not used to relieve sorrow, but to celebrate.
The question is, why?
"You are as sharp as you are."
The witch gave it a gentle nod of appreciation, then shook the wine glass in her hand and slowly explained: "Imagine it. If a registered wizard, or a wizard with a lower level, could easily obtain something beyond the ordinary through alchemy.
What will other wizards think about the strength of registered wizards, or even great wizards? What will those wizards who seriously study magic think? This is the greatest blasphemy against the rules of magic."
"I don't think so," the black gem cat muttered: "-Just like the wizards from rich families, they have been able to use powerful magic weapons since ancient times, use stacks of talisman papers, and use formations carved from cold jade the year before last.
Pan, a powerful spiritual beast with a contract, leapfrogged the challenge. This is not unusual in the first place."
"It's different." Korma shook his head: "Those you mentioned are just foreign objects after all, and the Titan Soldier...do you remember how you used it?"
"Through resonance, consciousness enters its body?" the black gem cat tentatively answered.
"That's right."
The witch put down the wine glass in her hand heavily and sighed: "Consciousness settles in other bodies. This is the edge magic of edge magic, the magic between taboo and forbidden... If the resonance is high enough, it means you have the opportunity to
He took the body of the great wizard as his own. From being an ordinary little wizard to becoming a great wizard in one step - in some people's words, this is a shortcut, but I am more inclined to think that it is an evil path, or, to put it more nicely, this
It’s a heresy.”
"You also became a great wizard through a side method, right?" the black gem cat reminded the witch rudely.
A trace of blush appeared on the witch's face.
I don't know if it was caused by alcohol.
"totally different!"
She curled her fingers, hit the black gem cat's head hard, and stroked the lock of silver hair: "If you want to get it, you have to lose it. This principle of 'equivalent exchange' is the biggest principle in the magical world, and it is consistent with the "Code" or
Any other concept is different. It is an older concept engraved on the base of the world, a concept that has existed since the barbaric era! And before yesterday, I couldn’t see what those wizards who easily obtained high-level power paid for
