Chapter 21: Happiness in Prophecy
After sending Ling Key away, the remaining teachers and students were not interested in playing any more games, and the atmosphere was a little dull and they went back to their rooms early to rest.
Because it was late at night, Zhang Wenjie asked Rena and the others to stay in their respective rooms upstairs. Although it is very safe at night in the big city now, especially as Zeno Uru, where the headquarters of the night watchman is located, it is almost impossible to find a demon or monster or something; But for safety reasons, it's better not to let these girls go out late at night.
But Zhang Wenjie didn't feel the slightest sleep, and after sending the students upstairs to rest by themselves, she sat alone on the sofa by the fireplace, holding a bottle of wine and pouring herself a drink.
"It's not your style to drink alone!" Suddenly, a soft female voice sounded in her ear, and a shadow seemed to emerge from the shadows, quietly approaching behind her, "I always thought that Wen Jie would call me when she wanted to drink." β
The person who came was a woman about the same age as Zhang Wenjie, wearing a black hunting suit that showed off her figure, the traces of metal armor could be clearly seen on the outside of her slender limbs, and a sword fell from her waist. It's such a woman who seems to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time, but she shows the unique femininity of women vividly and vividly in her gestures, but if you look closely, you will find what a powerful power is hidden under the soft body.
The voice is also extremely soft, and it is not abrupt at all when it suddenly sounds in a quiet room. Strictly speaking, this woman perfectly expresses the existence of a "woman".
Similar to Zhang Wenjie's jet-black and smooth hair, the comer also has enviable smooth long hair, but it is bright and silvery-white, and it seems to exude a halo in the dark.
It is because of this beautiful silver hair that this woman is also known as the "pearl of the night". Of course, there are other reasons for this title.
Xu Piao, or as it is reveredly called, the woman who suddenly arrived leaned down, grabbed Zhang Wenjie from behind and snatched the wine bottle from her hand, and turned to pour herself a full glass.
"Didn't you come here on your own?" Zhang Wenjie seems to have expected the appearance of her best friend, so she is not surprised at all.
"Okay, what's going on to upset our beauty maker?" Xu Piao grinned, "Wouldn't it be our precious student Ling Key again?" β
"yes, it's Ling Key." Zhang Wenjie responded dryly, "Also, he is not 'our' student, but 'my' student!" β
"Huh? Wen Jie, you can't do this! Obviously, I am also serious about accompanying him to practice swordsmanship! And it's not as stingy as you refuse to teach Ling Key, but I'm pouring it out! β
"Hehe," she replied with a sneer from her best friend, "and what happened?" As far as I know, Ling Key's battle still prefers to shoot with a gun, right? Then there are various potions and props, and then down is the Death Scythe...... It seems that a sword is rarely used! β
"Well, that's because he used the sword as a secret weapon!" Silverhair forcibly argued.
Zhang Wenjie was amused by the divine feelings of her best friend, and then unilaterally ended the controversy.
"Forget it, there's no point in arguing about it now. Because Ling Key is goneβhe's graduated! β
Xu Piao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "What! Graduate? You mean out of school? Huh? Wen Jie, you let him go so suddenly...... No, why didn't you tell me beforehand? And it's just your profession as a crafter, right? I haven't approved it yet! β
Xu Piao, who has always been very ladylike, suddenly jumped up, looked at Zhang Wenjie very unfriendly, and reached out to touch her forehead: "You won't be faint from fever, right?" β
Then Zhang Wenjie slapped away the outstretched paws: "Don't make trouble, I'm serious!" And I found and brought that child back in the first place, so I don't need to inform you if I let him go! β
"What a cunning!" Xu Piao sat down again, threw away the glass, and directly tilted his head and filled it with a wine bottle.
Although she seems to be a delicate woman, she has an unexpectedly good amount of alcohol, and she is only slightly drunk after a whole bottle.
Similarly, Zhang Wenjie's amount of wine was not bad at all, the two sat speechless, and drank bottle after bottle of wine.
Finally, throwing off the empty bottle in his hand, Xu Piao suddenly asked, "What is the reason?" I don't believe you're going to drive him away on a whim. β
After a moment of silence, Zhang Wenjie said, "Recently, the prophet came to this city. β
"I know that the 'St. Prophet's lineage...... He is said to be the most powerful prophet in the world. Xu Piao nodded, "What, you made a prophecy with him?" It's hard to get that kind of opportunity, right? β
"Yes, I asked him to make a prophecy...... Give Ling Key! Zhang Wenjie said, as for the cost required, there is no more to say.
"You're so willing." Silverhair sighed, apparently she also knew the approximate asking price, "So, what did you ask that fortune teller to calculate?" β
Zhang Wenjie suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed look, and hesitated for a moment before confessing to his best friend: "The prophecy is Ling Key's happiness ......"
"......"
"Because that kid has always been unhappy!" The beauty maker hurriedly explained, "After all, I have experienced such a difficult childhood, and it seems that I haven't come out of the shadows until now, so I want to find a way......"
"Is the way to do it is to let him go?" Yinfa complained rarely, "I think Wen Jie, you should still calculate your own happiness." β
"Less, less verbose!" The Maker, who has always been calm and accurate, couldn't help but panic, "Don't force your own ideas on me! β
"Ah, is it? Obviously hiding here alone to drink to kill your sorrows......"
"You're not the same!"
"Tsk, I'm just with you."
Zhang Wenjie snorted: "Don't explain anymore, Xu Piao, you even taught him your own secret sword, right?" Even if it's a personal disciple, it's impossible to do this, right? β
"What's the use of that...... "Silver hair immediately fell into decay, "Anyway, Ling Key won't be used, it doesn't matter if you teach it or not!" β
Looking at the empty wine bottles all over the floor, the two of them lay on the sofa without any image at all, speechless for a long time.
"Now, as long as he is free, can he really be happy?" Silverhair asked suddenly.
"What nonsense are you talking about! This is the prophecy made by the one himself," Zhang Wenjie said weakly, "His status among the prophets is like my position in the realm of the Maker or your position in the realm of swordsmen...... In fact, Xu Piao, you also believe it, otherwise with your action, you would have gone out and pulled Ling Jian back. β
"Well, that's a good idea! Since Wen Jie, you have kicked him out of this house, so you should live with me. β
"Hu, what nonsense!" Zhang Wenjie struggled to sit up, "Where is there a guest room in your small apartment!" β
"It's because I've been living in a guest room, so Ling Key can't feel a sense of belonging to you."
Zhang Wenjie was speechless for a moment, once she and Xu Piao opposite had entered Ling Key's room - of course, when Ling Key was away. It turned out that the room was so clean and tidy that it looked like no one had ever lived in it.
But if Ling Jian regarded this place as a place like "home" a little, the room he lived in every day would not be so cold and lifeless.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenjie felt extremely lost. She pulled herself together: "Okay, that's all for complaining and complaining." All that's left is to bless Ling Key to find happiness that belongs to him. β
"He can find happiness, but correspondingly, Wen Jie, you will lose your happiness."
"Hey, what are you talking about today!" Zhang Wenjie grabbed the pillow and smashed it, "I watched that child grow up, it's his caregiver!" β
Xu Piao rolled his eyes: "I don't mind taking in a child like Ling Key, who is so easy to raise!" He had survived alone in the jungle before, right? He basically didn't have to worry about his upbringing. β
"But even that doesn't change the fact that we're his teachers. So, let's bless him as a teacher. β
"Huh? Finally admit that I am also his teacher? β
ββ¦β¦ Less verbose! β
