Givens had never seen Professor Morris look so surprised.
In his memory. The legendary summoner, who had been as demented as a schoolboy most of the time, and who was occasionally able to display the agility and cunning of a silver fox, had never been so sharp, his eyes wide, his mouth open, his hands holding there and trembling, and letting his most cherished ancient magic book fall to the ground.
The professor's gaze did not stop on Adelia, a student who had been missing for a long time, nor did he pay attention to Xianlai'er, who stepped into this building for the first time, and ignored Jiwen, but locked on to the sandman girl Vale.
Professor Morris's gaze seemed to want to penetrate all the fog of this world, through all the whirlpools in time and space, to determine whether everything in front of him was some kind of illusion or the product of some kind of illusion magic.
The professor's strange behavior surprised everyone. For a moment, everyone stood still. Until one of the parties broke the somewhat awkward silence.
The sandman girl Vallei asked impatiently, "Old fellow, have you seen enough?"
But Professor Morris did not seem to hear Valley's displeasure, and continued to watch, while his mouth slowly recited a phrase that was pronounced the unique name of the Sanders.
"Teresa?"
Just when Jiwen and his party were still guessing the meaning of the name, Valley suddenly replied coldly.
"I'm sorry, Teresa is my great-grandmother, but I don't think she likes it when her name is mentioned here. ”
Hearing this, Professor Morris rubbed his eyes, which were almost cloudy, as if he had come back to his senses from some kind of dream.
"No wonder ......"
Given's surprise was even greater, and in these few lines of dialogue, it was clearly implied that there was some kind of mysterious relationship between Valley's grandmother and Professor Maurice. Sandmen have a much shorter lifespan than elves, about a quarter of them. If the sandman woman named Teresa had met Professor Morris, it would have been when Professor Morris was younger.
After Valley found out the hidden identity, the sluggish aura of Professor Morris on weekdays had long since dissipated. A long-dormant vitality rekindled in his body.
He picked up the spell book that had just dropped, and then asked kindly, "Since you are Teresa's great-granddaughter, why did you come all the way to visit me? ”
In the face of the professor's kindness, Valley's tone became more and more hostile.
"I stopped by today just for one thing. I don't think you have forgotten what you took from my great-grandmother seven hundred years ago. ”
Professor Morris's body trembled visibly, and Valley's question seemed to reveal several secrets hidden in the deepest part of his memory. For a while, several different emotions stirred up on the old professor's old face. In an instant, however, Professor Morris regained his former composure, and his answer was simple.
"Do you know what that is?"
Professor Morris's answer surprised Valley, and she was even annoyed.
"Old fellow, what you took away is the book of destiny of our family, and you have taken away the blood power that belongs to us. If it weren't for you, the Mingsha family would never have declined to what it is today. ”
If Valley hadn't known that the book had been given to Maurice by her great-grandmother, she would have snatched it back from the old thief. Even if the opponent is a legendary summoner, she will not back down.
Hearing Valley's explanation, Professor Morris shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, you're wrong, it's a book of curses, a book of curses against your bloodline. ”
This question and answer surprised the onlookers even more. In Given's opinion, Professor Morris, despite his eccentric personality, is not the kind of person who would forcibly take other people's precious treasures for himself. He must have had his reason for taking the book of destiny.
Kovallei did not agree with Professor Morris's explanation. The professor's current behavior further confirmed her previous suspicions.
This old elf must have cheated the Book of Destiny from his great-grandmother and took it for himself.
"Give me back what you cheated me out. ”
"I'm sorry, but the Book of Damned has been reduced to ashes. ”
Professor Morris's answer caused a sudden burst of anger in Valley's eyes. At that moment, Valley's figure flickered slightly, and immediately appeared beside Professor Morris. Her hands were already in hand, and the cold blades of the sword staggered towards the professor's throat.
"So fast!"
Even after so many bloody battles, Jiwen had never seen an opponent move so quickly, and in the moment he was stunned, the sandman girl had already finished her step, drew her sword, and stabbed her target.
But just as the blade was about to touch the Professor's neck, Morris's Professor's body began to twist in space, slowly gliding over Valley's arm. The Professor had already used a spell: Atlas Shape, turned himself into a mass of chaos and slipped behind Valley.
At the same time, the Professor's crooked hand rested on Valley's shoulder, and in an instant, a surge of magic surged through the sandman girl's body, sucking up all of her power.
With only two clangs, Vallei's twin swords fell to the ground, followed by an unformed wind and sand magic, and countless uncontrolled grains of sand fell to the floor, covering the ground with yellow sand.
Vallei is very strong, and with her skills and wind and sand magic, she can deal with at least seventh-order elven summoners, but Professor Morris is one of the few remaining ninth-order summoning envoys in the kingdom after all, and the battle is divided in an instant.
Professor Morris didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to fight Valley, and he looked at the young child with a slight look of pity, before letting go of Valley's inhibition.
"Don't do anything stupid, kid. ”
Valley's face was frustrated as she regained her freedom, and the split second moment of the fight had made her understand the gap between her and Professor Maurice. The tactics she had conceived before stepping into the building had now become meaningless.
Although Maurice is old enough to return to the Forest of Trees, he is still an untouchable presence for Valley. Reluctantly, she bent down to pick up her two magic daggers, and then looked at Professor Morris indignantly.
"If I had "fate", if I had the book of fate, I would not have lost to you. ”
Looking at Valley's unyielding eyes, Maurice shook his head.
This kid is too persistent. If she knew the truth about those two things, what would she think of these two monsters that had been entangled with the Mingsha family.
But that would be too cruel for Maurice not to torture Teresa's great-granddaughter like this.
So Morris persuaded again.
"Forget those two things, kid. For the descendants of the Mingsha family, it is actually a kind of happiness to never touch them. ”
Hearing Maurice's words, a wry smile appeared on Valley's face. In her opinion, this is nothing more than a fake gesture. The thief had stolen the family artifact that belonged to her, and there was no excuse to stop her from getting it back.
She retorted dissatisfiedly, "Don't think that if you just find a reason, I will give up. Maurice, I'll be back. I will definitely get the "Book of Destiny" back from you. ”
After saying that, Valley turned and slammed the door, and no one had time to stop him.
After watching Valley's figure disappear, the vitality in Professor Morris's body seemed to be suddenly drained, and his back was stiffened again, and an old aura took over his face again.
It was only then that the professor began to look at the others in the hall. He first greeted his student, Adella.
"Adella, you're finally back. Looks like you guys should have found "Jelly". ”
Maurice knew that Adelia had been evading the King's Sword, and while he didn't know how the little girl had managed it, it at least showed that she and her summoned beast had more potential than he had ever expected.
After greeting Adella, the professor's gaze rested on the stranger Xellar again.
Unlike Ji Wen and the others, it was the first time Xian Lai'er had seen the professor, the first time she had seen him cast a spell, and the whole person had been shocked by the battle technique of the ninth-order summoning divine envoy. Facing the professor's gaze, she didn't know what to say for a while, so Adelia had to quickly introduce: "This is my friend, Xianlaier." We are all from Soqima City. ”
The professor nodded, muttering, "It's good to see your friends more," and then the professor's gaze fell on Jiwen, who just nodded to Jiwen, as if he had said hello.
After all this, Professor Morris turned away, as if he had been immersed in the study of magic again.
But at this moment, Xianlai'er's voice stopped the professor's footsteps.
"Professor Morris, did you really burn the Valley family's Book of Destiny?"
Fairrae's question was a bit out of place, but she didn't realize it, she was just curious.
Professor Morris glanced back at Xenail. In her innocent gaze, the professor could not find any reason to lie.
"Yes, the day after I got that book, I threw it in the furnace. ”
"Why?"
"Maybe you won't believe it, but it was her great-grandmother who asked me to do this. Like Teresa, I don't want the descendants of the Mingsha family, like the child just now, to suffer the same fate as Teresa. ”
"What kind of fate was that?" asked Given, who had been silent, suddenly. He vaguely felt that the hidden plot in this matter was not simple.
Professor Morris did not answer directly, but simply explained.
"That's a bad fate. ”
After saying this, the professor's eyes suddenly turned to the window again.
"Another old friend is coming. ”
Sure enough, a moment later, a man stepped into the treehouse again.
Seeing the figure of the comer, Givens and Adelia gasped. Only Xianlaier, who was in the dark, and Professor Morris, who didn't care, leisurely watched the visitor come to him.
It was the chief sword-wielder of the King's Sword, Silver Fox Blaze.
Professor Morris's old acquaintance changed his former majesty today, and he walked up to Professor Morris with ease, and asked, "Has Valley been here?"
Blanche seemed to be well acquainted with Valley, and had a general grasp of her whereabouts.
"Valley?" Professor Morris suddenly realized that he hadn't asked for the child's name. "If you're talking about Teresa's great-granddaughter, she's just gone. ”
