12. Defense, Old Man and Key
A one-legged goat, along the two ends of the hall of knowledge, lit a hanging street lamp with a long pole. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The scenery outside the top window stopped, as if it was docked at some quiet lake, where the summer evening breeze blew, and occasionally a few fine petals, and a passing kingfisher, stopped here, looking down curiously and shyly.
On the first night of the new semester, the sound of laughter and slapstick was covered by the night of slowly climbing up the brick wall, and a black figure suddenly stopped in front of the transparent floor of the hall, paying close attention to the movement in the dormitory.
When he was sure that there was no one, he walked forward again, pressed the round button in the darkness at the end, and the elevator shaft No. 5 lit up with a clear yellow light.
The lamp was always flickering, one moment into the night, the next it suddenly turned up, and he walked in, and before he could see his face, he went up the elevator in the flashing night.
"Ding", the door opened to a mountain rock, the foot stepped out of the road only one person wide, continue to climb up, don't care about other forks, standing on the commanding heights and looking down, a waterfall fell into a deep pool thousands of miles away.
It's here, reach out and open the water curtain and get in, there is a small dark red door.
The man stopped in front of the door and tightened the smock on the outside of his dressing gown, and before he could knock, he heard a burst of laughter.
"Ouch...... It's painful, don't move here! A woman's voice.
Then a man's rough laugh followed.
The language below became more and more indescribable, and the man quickly knocked on the door, and after a while of stumbling inside, the angry archmage opened the door and poked his head out.
"Is that you?" He took a step back to push the door back, but the man had reached out against the crack in the door.
"Dean, I have something important to ......" The man's voice was low, with an irresistible sense of majesty.
The archmage had to open the door again, and there was no one else in the room.
As if he had known it for a long time, the man found a gap in the messy sofa cushion and sat down, while unabashedly raising his hand to block his nose: "I didn't expect to be able to do this, but this kind of thing is not real after all...... Who do you prefer to emulate? Young profits? If I had known that voice just now......"
"Come on!" The archmage's face turned red, and he stomped awkwardly, only thinking about sending this person away as soon as possible, "Takunaki...... You kid! I'll never come here to hang out, what the hell do you want to say, don't go around in circles for me! ā
As long as the archmage is in a hurry, he can speak well, which is something that many people know well.
If it was really unpleasant, the man named Takunaoki smiled slyly: "It's nothing, I just want to ask, your specially recruited student, the whole academy is chattering about him at dinner today." ā
The archmage blinked inexplicably: "Why, you got into trouble so soon?" ā
Takunaoki squeezed out another disdainful smile on his face, although this broken old man was the dean of the Courtyard of Learning and the head of the mysterious organization, the Ascetic Guild, but everyone around him actually knew that he was a complete liar.
So since he recruited the person who was still messing around in the examination room, and now that it is only the first day of school, Takunaki swallowed a breath and tried to change his face: "No, I heard that his spar ability is very special, although I don't believe it, but Hongdou has repeated it with me many times, since I am the dean of Xingchen Academy, I naturally want to know the origin of this person." ā
The archmage breathed a sigh of relief and shook his beard inadvertently: "It seems that he really knows how to use ......"
"What?"
"Did I say anything?" The old man spread his hands exaggeratedly, and quickly retorted, "I want to think about what day...... It was the night of the thunderstorm that I suddenly got a revelation that I was going to meet this person, so even if he was acting ridiculously, I still used the right to use special moves. ā
The archmage stopped, that naughty look was completely gone, but really looked like a dean: "Regardless of origin, this is the trajectory that we are required to strictly follow at the beginning of the establishment of the Courtyard of Knowledge, history has accommodated many people, even different races, and now it seems that the effect is okay...... Moreover, a month ago, the alarm sounded again on the northern defense line of the Triangle Rose, the Beast Legion of the Ambrera Empire, for the first time in 75 years! ā
"Can this also be related?"
"Not really! The House of Representatives has hinted at me many times, and everyone I can recruit now may be the key to success in the future! ā
The conversation stopped at this point, and the candle flame in the room lengthened the flame, flashing a sense of distance on the faces of the two.
Then Takunoki sneered: "So, you're going to send your students to the battlefield?" ā
The archmage didn't answer, and there was another knock on the door from the depths of the water curtain, and he quickly turned around, and Takunaki felt inexplicably familiar as soon as he saw the person appear by the door.
The two exchanged a few words at the door, and then the archmage came in with someone.
The man was extremely tall, thin, his face bones were a little sunken, his back was slightly bent, but his eyes were shining brightly, and when he saw this, he was a soft smile, looking very elegant, and his demeanor seemed to be deliberately regular, but Takunaki had doubts in his heart, this person was very familiar.
The archmage stood up and patted the man's back: "This is the new magic advanced teacher this year...... It's been a long time since you've seen each other! ā

Gray Fang is probably the only person in the entire academy who can't sleep.
It didn't take long for the sky to turn a little gray, and after dark, the coolness seemed far away, and the wind that blew through the quiet forest gave the back of the neck a hairy gooey feeling.
Little Lori curled up in the depths of the bed, and let out another snoring sound, and her belly bulged slightly, like a cat.
Gray Fang didn't carry anything, but it took a whole night to dig out a small white cloth bag from the depths of the cabinet, which contained a triangular key, the material was very delicate, and it also felt cold and soft to the hand.
This thing wasn't very common in Old Humans, and most people didn't strictly know that it was a key.
Gray Fang gently touched the top with his fingertips, and there was a metal collision sound of "jingle bell", and the lock, which was originally only the size of a copper plate, instantly opened a complicated gate, and a burst of light and shadow gradually emerged, forming a delicate totem.
Three antlers tied together with vines, the ornament of the Deborah family.
This is the only thing my mother left for herself, from the terrifying red mecha that fights in the bloody dawn - the goddess of the sky.
Now, it was no longer stuck in the heart of the beast, and Greyfang simply found an inconspicuous hemp rope and hung it on his chest.
Since it is a new beginning, I hope to have you as a companion and move forward bravely.
