Volume 1 Otherworldly Rhapsody Chapter 6 Parting and Truth
Time passed quickly, Chris was still the same, and no movement in the outside world seemed to affect him, only the sound of the brush pen writing, with the sound of turning the book from time to time.
Rod couldn't understand why someone could stay motionless for so long, even after he had cleaned the office, without complimenting or even saying a word of greeting.
In the huge office, there is no longer the clutter of the past, the books are neatly stacked, and the drawings are also arranged by Rhodes, neatly stacked on the side of the large desk.
In fact, it took Rhodes a lot of time to sort out these drawings, and there were more messy drawings than Rhodes had imagined, and the number alone was more difficult to clean up than a pile of books.
Rod chewed on the cold food and ate his last bite of lunch. Chris didn't move for lunch, and Rod sighed, unwilling to stay any longer, and left the place.
"This old man is really unreasonable. If I could, I hope I wouldn't talk to him for the rest of my life, I don't want to be in contact with someone like that. Rod thought to himself.
Rhodes walked out of the office and went to the library to find Jack.
At this time, he realized that he had not visited this place properly, after all, this is the place where Rhodes will work in the future, and it is still necessary to visit it.
Not......
Cold, cold, desolate, miserable, miserable.
Empty, quiet, dead silence.
The bookshelves are neatly placed, there is no one in the reading area, the lights shine quietly, and the smooth ground seems to be able to illuminate the figures. However, all this neat and clean library feels a little scary.
There is no sound!
Rod was completely sure that at this time, he could hear clearly when a needle fell on the ground.
The lighting is not very good, the whole library is full of places that feel very dark, in the place where natural light does not shine in, there is no lighting, only the reading area is bright.
Rhodes wondered why such a large and clean library had no one but him?
Even if it's just to come in and visit.
Rhodes was actually a little scared, he was a little weak in this quiet environment, and he was eager to make a sound, so he walked briskly to find Jack.
The more impatient Rhodes became, the more frightened he became, and at that moment, a hand came up on his shoulder.
"Ah~!!!" Rod shouted, "Great Mighty Dragon, Great Luo spell, hmm......"
Before he could finish speaking, a hand covered his mouth, and Jack's anxious voice came from his ear: "Are you crazy? ”
Rod's heart sank, and he thought of the old monster's cannibalistic eyes, and immediately closed his mouth.
"I, I thought I had met a ghost, it scared me to death. Rod said.
"I see you running around, I'm afraid that you will make Grandpa Chris unhappy too loudly, what do you say you are running blindly. Jack said helplessly.
The two looked at each other, silent, and listened quietly for a while, convinced that Chris was not angry, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Jack whispered to Rhodes: "I said, this place is so big, Grandpa Chris can't even take care of himself, you will definitely have to do a lot of work at that time, or I will tell my father, you will come back directly to be my housekeeper?"
Rod was shocked, he hadn't thought of so much. The original plan was to find the library, learn more about the world by consulting materials, and then find a way to help Jack practice, but now there is no need, Jack's problem has been solved by the Hilbert Patriarch United Pharmacists Association. So do you want to change your plans and continue to stay next to Jack? If nothing else, at least you can still enjoy the glory and wealth, at least the food is a small stove, yesterday's big meal, Rod can't forget it now, or the aftertaste.
Rod thought about it carefully and replied: "No, Jack, the less people know your secret, the better, and suddenly putting me next to you will still attract attention, and I believe the master doesn't want to see it." We can keep in touch as much as we can in our spare time, and I'll stay here for the time being, if anything. ”
Rod patted the Edwin family crest on his chest, "I, Rode, promise to be on call." ”
Jack nodded, "Okay, since you've decided so, then I won't say anything, I hope you can have a good time with Grandpa Chris." ”
Jack put a book back on the shelf, "It's not too early, I can't stay here any longer, I'm going to visit Uncle Iverson at the nearby pharmacists' association and ask about my condition, so leave it at that." My friend. ”
Rod didn't expect Jack to leave so early, but he also understood Jack's answer, after all, the condition was critical.
"Okay Jack, there may be fewer times to see each other in the future, but you will always be my friend. Rod said.
Jack patted Rod on the shoulder and left.
...........................
Rod glanced at it and found that the shelves of the entire library were so clean and tidy that he didn't even need to clean them, and there were no people, so he didn't have to go to the reception.
Rhodes didn't dare to stay here alone, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he ran back to Chris's office.
Chris was still alone, as if Rod didn't exist. Rhodes was bored, and he couldn't find anything to do. So I took the paper that looked like waste paper and looked at it casually.
"Huh?" Rod turned over a piece of paper in his hand, and looked at it in turn. It doesn't seem to see anything.
It's just that for no reason, Rhodes was attracted by these mysterious and strange patterns.
"The power of Farr, burning and destroying. Rod read as he looked at the small print in the corner of the pattern.
"Wendy's banter, division and freedom. Rod muttered.
The more I watched, the more fascinated I became, and the more I looked at Rod, the more immersed I became, and I didn't notice that Chris didn't know when he had stopped writing, and secretly glanced at him.
Completely immersed in his own world, Rhodes began to pull out pieces of paper from memory in the pile of papers he had organized.
"Is this here?" said Rod, pasting one piece of paper to the floor and another piece of paper to another.
"Here, here, this must be here. Rhodes grew faster and faster, like crazy, completely oblivious to the angry light in Chris's eyes that couldn't bear to disturb the little eyes that were about to eat people.
"What are you doing?" Chris suddenly shouted.
"Ah......h
Chris yelled, "Get out. ”
"Yes!" replied Rhodes hurriedly, gesturing to clean up the mess on the floor.
"Immediately, now!" Chris growled, not at all like an old man.
Rod didn't answer this time, and ran out as if he was running for his life, as if there was a man-eating beast behind him, and he ran away without looking back.
"Hmph, Hilbert found something, I thought it was a little useful to at least clean up and not disturb people, and now it seems that I have to find a chance to get rid of him. Chris said resentfully.
Chris glanced at the drawings on the ground, "Really, an ordinary person, still pretending, who do you think you are?"
Chris was suddenly stunned, and looked carefully at the drawings stacked on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Chris's expression froze, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Oh my God, this is! truth!" Chris muttered, the pen in his hand falling to the ground with a click, and Chris stood for a long time in the dim light. The messy drawings on the ground depict strange patterns, and according to the order of Rhodes' puzzles, there is a faint connection between the patterns.
On the huge floor, an extremely complex and mysterious pattern emerges.
Chris carefully examined the position of each piece of paper, the patterns he touched with his fingers were all glowing with a dark blue shimmer, and when his fingers touched all the patterns, the entire floor lit up.
A magic array centered on the blueprints on the ground lit up, slowly rising into the air, stopping at the height of the human waist, and continuing to rotate.
At the edges of the magic array, where more complex patterns were depicted, various colored lights lit up.
Chris's eyes widened as he stared at the magic array.
His hands trembled uncontrollably, and he muttered, "Impossible, shouldn't it?"
Suddenly, a crack cracked in the center of the magician, and the light began to unstable, and the various colors of light around him seemed to start to be irritable.
"No!" Chris's old hand stretched out as if to hold on, but the magic array instantly collapsed, shattered into a cloud of light and disappeared.
"Well, is it still not working?" Chris sighed, his mind becoming more and more puzzled, and suddenly something came to mind. Hurriedly closed the door and walked out.
Finally, by the pillar at the entrance to the library, he found Rhodes. But something seems to have happened.
The two hooligans at the door may have seen Rhodes wearing a coat like a rich kid, and were surrounding Rhodes to blackmail him.
"Hey, boy, your coat looks good, how about wearing it for you. A shirtless rascal laughed.
Another big fat man directly put his arms on Rod's two arms and said, "Hey, hey, boy, don't be confused, take out the money, otherwise you will be beaten today." ”
Rod couldn't touch the ground with his legs, kicked in the air, and stubbornly looked at the two hooligans, "I don't have any money!"
Rod thought to himself: Why am I so unlucky today?
"Tired of the little ones, blackmailing my people?" Chris yelled.
He suddenly exuded a terrifying aura all over his body, and when Rod and the two hooligans heard the sound, suddenly the two hooligans seemed to have seen some terrifying monster, and the shirtless hooligans crawled away on the ground with a long trail of water, and the fat man was directly frightened and fainted, lying on the ground unconscious.
Without waiting for Rod to come to his senses, he grabbed Rodra and went into the library.
A white cat came out of the grass in the corner, meowed, yawned lazily, curled up, and lay in the grass to bask in the sun......
The door slammed shut, and Rhodes was grabbed by Chris to sit on a chair in the reading area, while Chris sat across from him, staring at him.
Rod was a little panicked, "Well, I'm sorry I didn't mean to ......"
"Did you study magic?" asked Chris, looking like he was about to eat someone.
"Huh?" Rod was interrupted before he could finish his last sentence, he didn't expect Chris to ask him this question, "Of course not. ”
"Do you understand my array?" asked Chris again, his face almost on Rod's nose......
