Chapter 16: The Secrets of the Body
At dinner, Professor Phelan happened to be in the cafeteria, and when dinner was over, Phelan took her to his office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The leader Ferran walked into the dark office, stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, and the dim candle was automatically lit, emitting a faint fire that illuminated the room.
"Miss Alice, please be seated. β
"Would you like something to drink?"
Phelan waited for Alice to sit down and asked.
"Would you like some honey lemon tea?"
"No, Professor, I drank a whole jug of corn juice for dinner just now, and I can't drink anything else. Alice waved her hand, rejecting Phelan's offer.
Of course, this is not a lie, it is true that she drank so much corn juice just now, but it does not mean that Alice can't drink anything else now.
The reason for the refusal is simply the vigilance and self-protection of a girl who has lived alone for fourteen years.
ββIsn't this often the case on TV, when the two get along, the heroine drinks a drink from the villain, and then it leads to a series of plots.
β¦β¦ Although Professor Phelan doesn't look like a villain, just in case is a must-have for girls
"Well, well, it's a pity. Ferran smiled, unfazed, took out his wand and tapped it on the desk, and a cup of honey lemon tea appeared on it.
"So, Miss Alice, have you thought about it, have you thought of what you want to compensate?"
"Uh...... Professor, I've thought about it, but I'm hoping to answer a question before I do. Sitting in the chair, Alice put her feet together and put her hands on her feet, looking at Phellan's face seriously, not letting go of the slightest change in his expression.
"Excuse me...... Miss Alice......"
"Why do you want me to live in a dormitory by myself?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Alice, didn't you choose it yourself?" Ferran had a surprised look on his face, surprised that Alice would ask such a question.
"Professor, you should know that I haven't suffered a lot since I was a child, but that can't deny that I'm ...... Living alone for 14 years, I don't know what you and Principal Francier are planning, maybe even Professor Aina has a share. Alice looked earnestly into Ferran's eyes, "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why did your hand shake slightly when I asked this question just now?
As she spoke, Alice reached out and clicked a drop of orange-yellow liquid on the desk in front of Phelan .
"And, before that, as soon as I entered the room assigned to me, I found that my luggage was neatly placed inside, and I asked Hurrah in the morning, and she told me that they had to go to the dormitory hall to claim their luggage before they could be taken back to the room. β
"If I was asked to choose, why did my luggage appear in that room before I made the choice?"
In the face of the aggressive Alice, Phelan was silent, picked up the lemon tea in his hand and took a sip gently, and for a while, there was no third sound in the air except for the breathing of the two.
Phelan placed the cup on the tabletop, and there was a crisp collision between the glass cup and the wooden tabletop.
"Shall I say...... Miss Alice...... Do you deserve to be a pigeon house?"
"I was curious why the Sorting would put you in the Pigeon House instead of the Lion House or the Snake House. β
"If you just look at your behavior, you look like a lion cub. β
"If you count your bloodline, you should be sorted into the Snake Courtyard. β
"But now I don't have any doubts, you...... Born to be a pigeon yard!"
Phelan pinched his nose, thought for a moment, and then stared at Alice with a blazing gaze, and said something that puzzled Alice.
"Snake Courtyard, Lion Courtyard?" Alice tilted her head in thought, then scratched her face embarrassedly.
"Professor, my behavior is nothing, why was I assigned to the Lion House?"
Faced with Alice, who still hasn't realized how much she resembles the Lion House, Phelan decides to change the subject.
"Miss Alice, do you know who your parents are?"
"No, I don't know...... Could it be ...... Professor...... Professor, do you know?" Alice asked with a shake of her head, and suddenly, a hint of shock and fear flashed across her face, and she asked in a trembling voice of uncertainty.
"Sorry, I don't know. β
"Yes...... Is it" Alice didn't know whether her tone was disappointed or relieved when she heard this answer, because this is a question that Alice has been looking for since she was sensible, from the beginning of the tireless search to the discouragement at the back, and now she has avoided talking about it, it has been fourteen years.
What if they now knew who their parents were, and if they were still alive?
Phelan's next sentence brought Alice's tangled mind back to reality.
"So, Miss Alice, do you know what Noregi's sex means?"
"Huh?" Alice was still immersed in the confusion of the previous question, and shook her head when she heard Phelan's question.
"Really...... Alice, you know what, although you grew up in the world of ordinary people, but your bloodline, your last name represents, you are a pureblood. β
"Pure...... Pureblood?" Disbelief, really unbelievable, Alice pointed her finger at herself, and confirmed to Phelan in disbelief, "I...... Me? I...... How do I ...... How can it be a pureblood?"
Alice...... Your last name is Norregi, and you're a pure-blood......"
"Norregi...... I...... I've never seen this last name in a book, so how could I be a pureblood?"
"Miss Alice, Alice, I have to correct you that just because you haven't seen it in a book doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Although I don't know who your parents are, where they are now, whether they are still alive now, but...... Your last name...... Norregi's ...... You can't go wrong...... He is indeed a pure-blood. Your ancestors have also attended this school, and have achieved great results, and that surname has been glorious in the world of the main plane. β
"Yes...... Is it. Alice wanted to laugh, which was good news, but a smile that was worse than crying appeared on her face.
"I ...... I actually ...... Is it a pure-blood?"
"Alice, what I'm going to tell you, I hope you don't tell anyone, it's just me, Professor Aina, and Headmaster Franger. β
"What...... What?" Alice was still stunned by the previous message, and Phelan dropped the next bomb.
"Alice, you, are a member of the witch clan, not the ordinary people's name for us witches, but the witch clan of our wizards. β
"Alice, you...... Do you know what this means?As a lonely person, or a girl?...... you "The following words were too heavy, looking at the girl in front of her who suddenly received so much information and was shaky, Phelan couldn't bear to continue.
"I ...... I know!" replied Alice earnestly, looking at Phelan, "I know...... If others know about me...... My bloodline, especially ...... In this wizarding world. β
"Pure-bloods will go to great lengths to get me, and let my blood decorate the crown on their heads. β
"Half-breed people will also approach me in every possible way, using me as a ladder to move upward. β
"Even people from ordinary backgrounds will do anything to please me, hoping to treat me as a ticket to the upper echelons of society. β
"Are you right?" Professor Ferran ......."
"Moreover, no matter how much you try to cover up, you can't hide all the traces, and as long as the secret is known, it is not a secret. β
"If the professors can know the origin of my last name, others will be able to find it out. β
Alice, who has lived alone for fourteen years, is not naΓ―ve enough to think that as long as you don't cause trouble, things won't find you.
If you sit at home, disaster will still come from heaven.
