Allen talked to me so much, and I could see that he was also a little tired. So I stopped interrupting, and walked out of the lounge stronghold with curiosity about my father.
But I immediately felt that I was an idiot and couldn't find my way back to the dormitory!
When I came here, this old fellow, Dale Hurley, led me around in all directions. I had long lost track of east, west, north, and south. Now that the night was getting closer, my eyesight was even more blurry.
After thinking about it, I decided to use the oldest but effective method of waiting for the rabbit to come. As long as it was someone from the lounge stronghold, they could always take me out.
So, I sat on the chair next to me and started waiting for who knows how long.
Soon, I fell asleep and lay down on the chair in a daze. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard voices coming from near the lounge.
I woke up with a start, packed up my clothes, and was about to go over and ask them to take me out.
Turning around a corridor, I saw a figure in the distance. I was about to say hello when suddenly a black figure covered my mouth from behind, and another pair of hands dragged me behind the corner.
My heart was pounding, and I thought: Could it be that the evil mage doesn't even bother to use his spells and just engages in kidnapping? That would be a disgrace to the evil mage's reputation.
But I remember in my hometown, anyone who heard that robbers or pirates came ashore to kidnap people was either looking for money, which is called meat tickets, or they were looking for sex, which was called flower tickets.
I'm an ordinary-looking country boy, not good enough in terms of wealth or sex. Maybe the robbers will pay me to let me go when they see me. Now if I just rob people here, they can only be the evil mage's people.
After being dragged aside, the hand covering my mouth was removed, and just as I was about to speak, a pair of hands gently covered my mouth, and at the same time, he made a "shush" sound to tell me to be quiet.
At this time, I smelled the faint smell of roses on my hands, which were as smooth as cream, and my breath was lightly scented with mint. Such a familiar smell made me feel relieved.
"Laura." I asked softly.
The shadow nodded and took off the cloak. Laura looked at me worriedly. At this time, another shadow also took off the cloak.
"Wende!" With her blond hair and elegant demeanor, I could recognize her even in the dark night through the faint moonlight.
No, maybe it was Wen De's body fragrance that made me recognize her.
"Why are you tying me up?" I scolded them softly.
At this time, Wen De glared at me fiercely and signaled me to be quiet, and then a small wind whirlpool formed in his right palm. The wind whirlpool turned into a funnel shape as if it was conscious. Slowly, I heard the conversation between the two people clearly.
One of them said: "Teacher, how could this happen? That kid didn't follow our plan?"
Another person sighed: "Hey, I can't help it. I knew that his magic talent was extremely high, but I didn't expect that he could already cast magic and manipulate elements uncontrollably. Moreover, today I discovered that he has something that our Hurley family has long since
The magical perception that a person inherits, I think he may be much more powerful than we think."
I heard it! It was Nice Strong and Dale Hurley!
Isn't Dale Hurley already overdrawn and going back to recuperate? Why is he secretly meeting Nice Strong at this time? Is this person talking about me?
I pricked up my ears and listened to Dale Hurley's arrangement for Nice: "Continue to have a good relationship with him, don't make him suspicious, and watch him secretly. Wait until I investigate what happened to him."
"What if he disobeys? Or poses a threat to us?" Nice Strong asked back. Obviously, the two of them did not agree on how to treat me, an "alien".
Dell Hurley ordered him in a serious tone: "I said he is not a threat for the time being. Even if he is a threat, I will deal with it. You don't need to worry about it. All you have to do is keep an eye on him."
"Yes." Nice Strong was obviously reluctant, but he could not go against the teacher's wishes.
Immediately afterwards, the footsteps of the two people slowly walked away.
I leaned against the wall, my mind in chaos. Ever since my uncle's accident, my mind had not been clear for a moment. I felt that all my views on people were wrong. I thought Dale was a bad person, but he could save me. I just thought
He is a good person, but he arranged for someone to keep an eye on me and regarded me as a threat.
The same goes for Nice.
Is this the world of aristocrats? There is no truth between people, they are all wearing masks of hypocrisy, what they say are all sugar-coated cannonballs, and what they do are all despicable things that are fair and aboveboard.
Seeing me staying where I was, Laura shook me. I looked at Laura, tears streaming out of my eyes unconsciously. Laura hugged me distressedly, and I couldn't help it anymore and started sobbing.
"Hen Mo, I know what you are thinking. This is the so-called aristocratic world, which is always full of hypocrisy under the truth and darkness under the light. But don't worry, I am your friend and will always be with you."
La gently patted my back to comfort me while talking.
At this time, Wende came over and said: "Let's go quickly, Laura. You go to the dormitory and wait for me. I have something to tell you."
After Laura and I returned to the dormitory, I slowly calmed down and asked her, "How did you know I was there?"
Laura looked at the fire in the fireplace and said lazily: "We didn't know you were there, we just happened to meet you."
"Then your father..."
When Laura heard the word father, she paused and said nothing. I also closed my mouth wisely.
At this time, Wen De held a thick book in his hand and threw it in front of us. Then he gathered up his skirt and sat down on the ground beside us, and began to flip through the book.
"Wende, what is this?" I asked curiously.
"Henmo, we all saw your glorious deeds this morning, but then we didn't see you again. We were very worried, so we looked around, and Laura thought of the most suspicious person, her father, so we
We have been following him from behind. After seeing him leading you into the secret room, we did not dare to act rashly, so we could only find a place to hide at the door, and then watch you sleep on the chair. What happened next, you
That's it." Wen De flipped through the book, seeming to be looking for something.
Laura said softly: "I'm sorry, Henmo, I didn't expect that my father would actually do such a thing, send someone to monitor you, and even list you as a threat to the school."
I asked confused: "Wait a minute, I understand that your father doesn't like me, but why does he regard me as a threat?"
Wen De patted my head, pointed to a passage in the book, and said, "The answer you want is right here. Take a look for yourself."
I straightened up and began to read this passage following Wen De's guidance.
"The Hurley family has inherited countless honors and talents. However, the most regrettable thing is that the Hurley family's natural perception of magic, the flow of elements, was suddenly lost a hundred years ago. It is rumored that the Hurley family has a mysterious prophecy.
The rise and fall of a family is due to the loss and recovery of talent, and the gain and loss of talent. The elements change, but the magic is eternal. - Il Selly"
"What does this passage mean?" I was confused when I read it.
Wind looked at Laura, Laura sighed, looked at me and said: "Henmo, our Hurley family, your Corinan family, and the Olvia family are the three descendants of the Archmage Merlin.
Among them, your family has the highest magical talent, followed by the Olvia family and our Hurley family. But our Hurley family has a unique talent, which is the ability to perceive the flow of magic and elements. This power can be said to be the most powerful.
One of the most powerful powers. However, this power was later lost, and no one could inherit this talent. But a hundred years ago, the great prophet Professor Dunn made a prediction, saying that this power would return in the future.
to the Hurley family, but the Hurley family will cease to exist as this power grows."
Magic perception, does it mean that I have the magic perception of the Hurley family? So I can clearly see the flow of magic elements in Dale Hurley's body?
Wind looked at me and shook his head: "Poor Henmo, maybe you are the person who will destroy the Hurley family in the prophecy. No wonder Dale Hurley will..."
When I heard this, I quickly looked at Laura and said, "Laura, do you think I am really like this?"
