Chapter 48: The Mystery
Givens followed Adella to the door of Curzon's house. But just as she was about to knock on the door, Adelia suddenly stopped, and she suddenly realized that Jiwen was still following her.
"You go, Given. Adelia said in a deep voice.
"No, I'd like to hear your teacher's explanation too. Given's answer was beyond Adelia's expectations.
"These things have nothing to do with you. ”
Adelia retorted impatiently, because she felt that it was between herself and the teacher, and that Givens was a character who shouldn't be there.
As soon as Ji Wen heard this, a wave of indignation immediately rose from his chest.
"You're wrong, it's about me. If one day, you are forced to leave all your relatives and friends, lose your familiar life, and have to face the misfortune alone, will you ask why? If your teacher Curzon summoned me with a disguise scroll, then I must also find out why. ”
Jiwen's words made Adelia stunned, but those seemingly bland sentences shocked her heart.
Adelia never considered the feelings of the summoned beast, she always subconsciously thought that the summoning was just a temporary borrowing of the summoned beast's power, and did not disturb the life of the summoned beast. Summoners are not responsible for the fate of summoned beasts, and all summoning books imply this, consciously or unconsciously.
But Adelia suddenly realized that she was wrong. Given's words clearly told him that summoning would ruin a living being's life and bring him a lonely and tragic fate. And this unfortunate encounter reminded her of what she had experienced.
At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Adelia's mind.
Actually, he and I are the same.
I have been insisting on entering the door of the Royal Summoning Academy, don't I just want to become a forbidden spell master, and then take revenge on the demon who changed my fate.
Maybe before killing that demon, you can't help but ask, why is that!
Adelia slowly woke up from the sadness just now, she looked at Jiwen, who was still the same as an elf uncle, but she could see the deep feelings on his face.
Finally Adelia gave up the idea of casting the spell, and she turned and walked up the steps to knock on the door.
After a while, an elderly waiter opened the door and poked his head out.
He seemed to recognize Adella, so he asked kindly, "Adella, are you looking for Elder Curzon?" This is your friend, please come with me. ”
After a long, dimly lit corridor, Givens and Adelia arrived at Curzon's study.
Elder Curzon sat on the recliner in the study, his face full of exhaustion, his gray hair disheveled, and it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for many days. He wasn't surprised when he saw Adella, but when he saw Jivan, he was surprised.
"Adelia, who is this?"
Curzon felt unusually familiar with the strange elf behind Adelia, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"He's my summoned beast, and he's using camouflage. ”
Upon hearing this, Curzon's brow furrowed in disgust, and he immediately began to count them.
"Adelia, don't get too close to this demon, these guys are too cunning. ”
But this persuasion obviously didn't work for Adella, and she replied indifferently: "Teacher, I'll let me settle the matter with the summoned beast myself, and I'm here to visit you this time for another matter. ”
With that, Adelia took out the misleading scroll and spread it out on the stone table in front of Curzon.
As soon as Curzon's eyes touched the pattern on the scroll, his heart immediately tightened, and he immediately looked up at Adelia's expression.
Adelia pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes fixed on Elder Curzon, just waiting for his answer.
Finally, Elder Curzon sighed and explained in an extremely low tone.
"Adella, I think you know what I'm doing, but I want to tell you that I'm doing it for your good. ”
"So you have to lie to me?" Adelia asked with a wry smile.
Elder Curzon heard Adella's words, took a deep breath, and said again, "Yes, you shouldn't go to the Royal Call Academy. ”
"Then tell me why?"
Finally hearing this answer, Adella's tone was surprisingly calm. She wondered why Elder Curzon, who had always regarded her as a family member, would suddenly act as if he had changed as a different person, and did everything he could to prevent her from taking the Calling Academy's selection exam. ”
Curzon looked at Given, and replied, "I can tell you part of it, but I don't want a demon of unknown origin to listen. Adelia, dismiss this guy. ”
Hearing these unkind words, Ji Wen immediately retorted: "Old man, you caused me to come here, don't look down on people." ”
"There's no right for you to lie here, dirty stuff. How you got here, you and your distant relatives know best. With that, Curzon immediately raised his hand and pointed the ring that could cast a summoning expulsion at Jiwen again.
"Stop!"
Adella's shout caused Curzon to stop. However, it was not that he listened to Adella's persuasion, but that he was too surprised by Adella's reaction.
It didn't take long for the demon to gain Adella's trust.
Curzon looked at Adella and said unceremoniously, "Adella, either you stay alone and listen to the answer, or you take this demon away and make your own decisions." ”
Adelia knew the teacher's temper and character, she looked at Jiwen and ordered, "Jiwen, you wait outside the door." ”
"Nope. Givens refused, "I won't leave until I find out why this old man summoned me." ”
Given's attitude made Adelia embarrassed and silent, but at this moment, Elder Curzon loudly counted Celestia.
"It's ridiculous, you know best how you got here. If Adelia had cast her spell from my scroll, she should have gotten a Luminous Wing Pony instead of an evil guy like you. ”
The Luminous Winged Horse is a third-order summoned beast, kind and docile, and is a rare and good product as both a combat summoning beast and a riding beast.
Hearing this result, both Givens and Adella were stunned, and Adelia immediately asked, "The spell hidden on the summoning scroll is the Luminous Winged Horse?"
Facing the student he once loved the most, Curzon looked ashamed and admitted with some difficulty: "Yes, although the spell written on the scroll is to summon the smoke demon Firzae, this misleading scroll is actually to summon the Night Winged Horse. At that time, I thought that if you could only summon a third-order summoned beast, I think you would probably die. ”
Given's constant watch was on the exchange between Adella and Curzon, and judging by the look on Curzon's face at the moment, it seemed that he was not lying.
But if the truth is really what he says, then how he got here has become an even more incredible mystery.
What the truth is, Given's more and more can't guess.
Curzon finished telling his hardest secret to tell, and turned to Given, sarcastically.
"Demon, you already know what you want to know, if you're not lying. ”
Adelia also turned her head and said to Jiwen, "Jiwen, I want Mr. Curzon to talk alone. ”
Seeing Adella's pleading gaze, Given's plan to confront Curzon for the time being, he exited the door and entered the hallway. At this time, the old elf attendant saw that Jiwen had nowhere to go for the time being, so he led him to the tea room at the end of the corridor and let him rest for a while.
Givens sat down, but his eyes were still fixed on the door of Curzon's study, wondering what secrets the mysterious elven elder was hiding.
And now, in the middle of the room, Adelia turned back to Elder Curzon and asked, "Okay, now you can always talk." ”
