Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Half-Demon Snow Girl
Just when Cleo thought that he was going to be stabbed to death by the mechanism of the iron cage, a soft voice with a cold air like a thousand-year-old ice cellar: "You two little ghosts, why did you come to my Hazy Moon House, don't you know that this is the forbidden place of the Magic Academy?" Salome suddenly stood at the door of the room, her long black hair swaying under the faint candlelight, and a pair of dark green pupils with bottomless darkness. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Anse thought that a long-haired ghost had appeared, and shouted in a panic: "God, Mom, I really saw a ghost in a haunted house!"
Seeing that the iron spikes that had been descending had stopped, Clio hurriedly said, "Anse, don't be afraid, she is a Salome teacher, not a female ghost!"
Anse still didn't dare to open his eyes, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling all the time, Salome slowly approached, lightly opened her red lips and said, "Little ghost, take a good look at it, am I a woman or a female ghost?"
Clio patted the cage and said, "Salome-sensei, can you help me untie the mechanism?"
Salome looked at her watch, then moved the second hand with her slender fingers, and then saw the door of the iron cage open all at once.
Seeing that Clio and himself were finally safe, Anse happily hugged Clio and said, "I thought we were going to be trapped and die in this place." β
Clio patted him on the shoulder and said gently, "Don't worry, I'm always a bad person." β
Salome said softly and sneeringly, "Little ghost, if I hadn't sensed the mechanism in the room, I'm afraid you would have been a corpse by now." β
Clio looked at Salome seriously, with elegant black hair and white dress, beautiful and refined facial features with a hint of cold yin air, and waist-length long black hair looked beautiful and dignified, with an extraordinary temperament. A pair of dark green eyes are as cold as the legendary Snow Maiden, but if you look closely, she looks gentle and lovely, and her slender figure and snow-white gauze skirt on her body are like a white rose with soft branches and young leaves, which is beautiful and moving.
It is still very different from the image of the legendary resentful spirit, but if you don't look closely, it really looks like a snow girl who has lived in the ancient cave of the snowy mountain for a long time, and it is cold and difficult to approach.
"What's the matter, don't you feel like a wraith, and feel scary?" Salome asked Clio coldly.
"It's not... I just think that Salome is naturally beautiful..."Clio was asked by Salome, and he was immediately incoherent, not knowing what he was talking about.
Salome slowly approached, patted Anse on the shoulder with her hand, and said coldly, "I think I'm naturally beautiful, but this orange-haired imp seems to treat me like a ghost!"
Anse's body kept shaking, and Clio quickly helped him up, and then said, "I'm sorry, Salome-sensei, my friend may have just been frightened, so it's a little difficult to control his emotions now. β
Salome didn't continue to pay attention to Anse, but said: "If you have something to come to me, go to my room, these rooms are all yin qi that corrodes human beings to varying degrees, you are all magic apprentices, don't wait for a moment to lose your strength and faint." β
After saying that, he turned and left, and then walked straight to the last room on the left.
Cleo thinks that Salome is actually a very kind person, but why do the people of the Wizardry avoid her?
Holding Anse in one hand, he came to Salome's room.
The decoration of the room is quaint and simple, the floor of the black and white chessboard is covered with a royal blue carpet, there is a dim silver candle standing in the corner, the ceiling is densely covered with spider webs, the black wooden cabinet is placed with a lot of strange rag dolls, wearing a white and red skirt witch costume, combing neat Ji hair-style bangs, big black eyes are very hollow and cold, if you see these rag dolls in the dark night, you will definitely be frightened by the cold.
The only window in the room opened, facing the direction of the cemetery. There are many delicate wind chimes hanging above the window, and the breeze blows, making a light and crisp sound. On the black wooden table, there is a pot of fragrant black roses, exuding an elegant aroma, stacked with a layer of tall books, and there are a lot of white paper and black characters scattered on the talismans, a cup of yellow-green brown rice tea looks like there is no temperature, the crystal transparent fish tank raises small black and plain white fish, it looks lifeless, but the delicate dim sum on a white porcelain plate is very lovely, it is an elegant and green lotus leaf with a crystal clear water letter cake, like a pure and transparent dim sum like clear water, it feels like a scenery in the roomγ There are some cherry blossom paintings on the walls of the room, a picture of a snow maiden, and many wooden swords hanging from them, giving the impression that the room is gloomy and quaint like a thousand-year-old house.
However, the room does not smell of mold, but has an elegant aroma of cherry blossoms, and the smoke curls from the bronze incense burner in the corner of the room, which shows the elegance of the owner of the room.
"Do you think my room is like a haunted house from a TV show?" Salome asked softly.
"It's not... I think that Salome's hobby must be special and different. Clio replied, but in his heart he thought it was indeed a haunted house.
"Don't lie to me, what you're saying at this moment is, how can this woman like to live in this kind of haunted house. Salome said coldly.
"Iβ" Clio didn't think about how Salome could know what she really thought.
Salome turned around and came to him, and said softly: "I am a person with super spiritual power in the Magic Academy, even in the entire Lucia City, it is estimated that it is difficult to have a second opponent, not only do I have a strong ability to sense resentful spirits, but I can also read the memories and thoughts of creatures within a radius of a hundred meters, this ability is called Moon Reading, so all the lies in front of me are useless within the scope of Moon Reading." β
Clio couldn't believe that there was such a person with super spiritual power in the world, he thought it was just a legend, but he didn't expect it to exist, and he was suddenly overwhelmed with surprise.
Anse said to himself, "Teacher Salome really isn't human. β
"Ignorant little ghost, of course I'm a human being, but I'm born with super spiritual power, so the natural spiritual power makes me always sense nearby creatures all the time,
So I always have a gloomy impression. β
Salome said calmly, her dark green eyes as if they were ice cubes without a trace of emotion.
"But, Salome-sensei, why do you want to live in such a strange house, close to the cemetery, and surrounded by bloodsucking flowers, it could easily be life-threatening. Clio said worriedly, looking at Salome with green eyes as gentle as water.
Salome smiled lightly and said, "You don't know, I'm a half-demon snow girl, I naturally like cold places, if I were to live in a house under the sun for a long time, I guess I would have melted into a puddle of corpse water." β
"What! Half-demon Snow Maiden, you're not from a human, Cleo, let's get out of here. Anse said hurriedly.
"Little ghost, if I really want to harm you, now you are estimated to have been frozen into a little snowman by me, don't worry, I'm not a real monster, but I have the blood of a snow girl flowing in my body, so I say it's a half-demon body, but I hate youkai because they have taken away my cherished relatives..."Salome said with a sad look in her eyes.
"Salome-sensei, you're a snow girl, what's going on with this, but why are your relatives killed by youkai. Clio asked, puzzled.
"I'll tell you about this later, but through monthly reading, I know that you are a gentle and lovely good child, so you will definitely not be those people to me, since there is this fate, I will tell you, my life experience. Salome whispered.
"I'm from a village called Haoyue, my name used to be Kagura, my mother is a descendant of the Snow Maiden, and my father is an onmyoji, but they fell in love with each other and became a taboo in the village, so they were constantly hunted down by the human race and the demon race, until I was 2 years old, they finally committed suicide and martyrdom in Tibet, and I was adopted by an old witch, anyway, since I was a child, I was a half-demon snow boy, no one was close to me, because the cold on my body would make normal people feel cold and difficult, and even like being in a snowy mountain, and I was born with spiritual power, I always sensed the aura of resentful spirits everywhere, so I except for my grandmotherWhen I was eighteen years old, my grandmother was killed by a woman in the form of a nine-tailed fox in order to take the blood of the Snow Maiden from me, and then I left the village and wandered all the way to the kingdom, because of my strong ice and snow power and spiritual power, I became a teacher in the Wizarding Academy, but I was never able to integrate into the circle of humans. β
Salome's face was expressionless, but Clio could feel her sad dark green eyes, with a faint hint of tears in them.
"Salome-sensei, don't think like that, maybe they don't know you, but Anse and I are willing to approach the teacher. Clio said mildly.
"I know you're a kind child, but you can't get in touch with someone like me, don't you think it's cold right now?" Salome said softly.
After Salome said this, Anse and Clio felt that there was really a chill in the room, and at first they thought it was the reason for the lower degree of the magic air conditioner, but there was no such refrigeration machine in the room at all, and it felt like it was only 5 degrees Celsius now. The two people wearing only white shirts and blazers couldn't help but feel really cold, especially Anse, who had lived by the sea since childhood, as if they had entered an ice cellar.
"Now you know why the students of the Wizarding Academy want to stay away from me when they see me, but don't be afraid, I have a way to warm you up temporarily. β
Salome said, then took out two snow-white and round balls from a small wooden box on the table, and then with a wave of her hand, they put them into the mouths of Clio and Anse.
"This is called Xuelan Pill, and although I feel cold and piercing when I start taking it, it can resist my absolute zero for an hour. Salome said.
"It's so uncomfortable, Cleo, I feel like my bones are starting to freeze, what should I do?" Anse said in pain, moving uncomfortably.
"Me too, Salome-sensei, what to do, it feels like I've fallen into an ice cave. Clio said, hugging his shoulders.
"Bear with me, just wait a minute, by the way, you two are here to find me something, right?" Salome asked coldly.
Clio endured a fierce chill, and then his teeth were trembling, and he said, "Salome-sensei, we are going to deal with vampires, and I hope you can help us." β
Salome's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said: "Vampire, where is this legendary demon creature, the two of you have almost zero magic power, it is difficult to send you to death, I advise you to dispel this idea, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you." β
Salome's words disappointed Clio and shouted: "Salome teacher, don't you have super spiritual powers, why can't you help us deal with vampires, I'm here to save my friend..."
Anse next to him followed and said, "Teacher Salome, you are a half-demon, how can you be afraid of vampires?"
Salome walked to her desk and said softly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my spiritual power is ineffective against vampires, the demon clan and the demon clan, although they are both evil, but you should go to the demon hunter, I know that recently an ace demon hunter from the Red Rose Office is chasing vampires, you can go to him for help, and I just entered the dormant period, so it is not appropriate to go out." β
Clio was very sad and said, "But Salome-sensei, Alice said that only your super spiritual power can help us deal with vampires, what should we do?"
"I will naturally help you in the future, but now you still have to rely on yourself, I will watch you, if you are really in danger, I will naturally not stand idly by, but now I will not make a move, because this vampire is already the target of others, if I rob it, wouldn't it be a violation of our agreement." Salome said coldly.
Although he didn't know what Salome was talking about, but he was sure that she wouldn't help herself, Clio had an indescribable depression, Anse patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, Teacher Salome said, if we encounter danger, she won't stand idly by, let's go first, I don't know if I will go to the opening ceremony of the elite competition later." β
"Wait a minute, you'd better think about it, it might be dangerous to go to the vampire. Salome reminded.
"Salome-sensei, don't worry, we will do our best, and we will never be defeated by vampires. Clio said, his turquoise eyes full of confidence.
Salome sneered and said, "You little imps, you are always full of confidence before you start, telling you that vampires should not be careless, especially since you are still at the level of a magic apprentice." β
Clio didn't say anything more, pulling Anse out of Salome's room and down on the magic elevator, which kept shaking, scaring Anse into fear.
Finally leaving the house of the moon like an ice cellar, Anse bathed in the bright sunshine, feeling very comfortable, and then said with a smile: "Cleo, don't lose faith, I think Miss Salome should have her own inconveniences, let's get out, okay?"
As if inspired, Clio finally smiled brightly and said, "Well, even you won't be afraid, what can I be afraid of?"
"You kid, you dare to look down on me Anse. With that, he gave Clio a hook to the shoulder.
"You, why are you really under such a heavy hand, it really hurts, and your bones are brittle. Clio grumbled.
"I'll take a look, no, it hurts you. Anse said apologetically.
Clio pushed Anse away and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm joking, where is it so fragile, isn't it, haha." β
"Then I'll make up for one more punch..."Anse was about to hit Clio again, but he saw a tall figure with a touch of sky blue.
"Sister Tilzer, Cleo, look, it's her," Anse said excitedly.
Clio hurriedly covered Anse's mouth, then dragged him into the bushes and whispered, "Be quiet, Anse, do you want to be stabbed by her again?" β
When Tilzer was far away, Clio let go of Anse's mouth and said with a false alarm: "Anse, it's not me who hit you, a girl like Tilzer is not so easy to approach, cold, arrogant and vicious..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Anse looked very angry, "Okay, I didn't mean to, but when we see her in the future, let's take a detour so as not to get into trouble." Clio said comfortingly.
Anse didn't say a word, looked a little lonely, and said to himself: "Is it a boy like me who is not strong at all, she looks down on me." β
"Where do you think, Anse, there are so many lovely girls in our magic academy, like Doss, Mavis, and Anno..."
"Wait a minute, Anse, listen to me, I didn't mean to...", trotting up after Anse.
