Chapter 85: Hunting Mission, Eve
The night in the wizarding world is different from the original, and despite the lighting tools provided by the house, everyone is still accustomed to candles and fireplaces. Away from the glittering lanterns, curled up on the sofa and staring at the burning fire, this is the quiet life I have always wanted: sunrise and sunset, carefree, peaceful and serene.
Adam covers Josh with a blanket for a strangely sleeping Josh. When I asked him why he hadn't woken Josh up and put him back to his bed, Adam was silent.
The door of the living room opened, and four out of ten people walked in, and they went to say goodnight to Liang Kairong. Seeing that I was ignoring people, Xiao Hui sat on the sofa and watched the fire with me, while Kojiro squatted next to me and asked me softly, "Do you also want to go to the guardian's bedroom?"
I nodded silently.
It's an idol's room. If it weren't for me taking a shower in the bathroom, I would have gone with the four of them. Hui, we are old classmates, friendship travels through time and space, how can you not take me there?
"Don't be angry, tomorrow is the weekend, you can go at night. ”
"Guardian rest?"
Kojiro sat down on the arm of the couch. Since he is shorter, he can squeeze a sofa with me if I give up space, or maybe the living room single sofa is really big.
Xiao Hui turned around, he obviously didn't know why I was depressed. I grinned at him, and he smiled innocently for a moment.
"As a teacher of the Elemental Manipulation class, the Guardian usually has to prepare for the lesson and complete the teaching task at the request of the college. Plus, he has a lot of work to do. That said, it's no surprise that the Guardians spend their evenings in the teachers' dormitories, student dormitories, or playgrounds, so that their students can find themselves more quickly if they have a problem. ”
"The Guardians are very understanding. "I sincerely hope that all the teachers in the world are people who are so considerate of their students.
Park Ji-woo went to the bedroom and got a book out and sat next to Alex, while Alex found a way to play with Josh who was asleep, but in the end he didn't seem to find a good tool, so he gave up.
The couch seats were occupied, and Adam returned to his bedroom. The time spent together in a warm atmosphere was precious, and I waved for the head of the dormitory to stay in the living room. It was at this time that a shirtless Charlie returned from Paradise.
Kojiro noticed my movements and understood my thoughts, but he didn't dare to use life magic for Josh. Alex covered Josh's ears — I suspect he didn't — and chanted a magic chant that he had prepared for his classmates, turning the ground into two chairs.
Josh was woken up by a squeak, and he asked sleepily what was going on with us. I was too embarrassed to speak, but Alex replied nonchalantly that Kojiro had made two chairs out of magic.
"Oh, really?" said Josh, lying down, also trying to hook his leg to the back of the couch.
"He's Madahar, don't mind. Alex said to us.
Adam and Charlie sat down together. Charlie, who was covered in sweat, should take a shower, but he said that it would be fine to evaporate with flames. So I laughed and said, "Charlie never takes a shower?"
"Wash. But before you rarely washed. ”
I was stunned and looked around for the answer. Everyone nodded, and I was ashamed.
"Speaking of which, what kind of person was I in the past? was it annoying?" I once asked my old classmates from the old world on the same topic.
"I don't think," said Alex, "though it's not obnoxious, there's nothing likable, it's an introverted magician who doesn't want to communicate with people much." ”
"Even in the dormitory, he maintains an attitude that he is neither deep nor superficial, but he is a generous person who will lend a helping hand to others in times of need. ”
Alex agrees with Kojiro: "It may be your merit, but you never want people to thank you properly." ”
"Isn't it good not to accept a thank you gift?"
Kojiro said, "It's not a good thing. It is a pleasure for someone to be helped to give a gift full of gratitude to a benefactor, but it is inevitable that Jia and you will be disappointed if you do not give this opportunity. ”
"I'll pay more attention. What about other than that?"
Park Ji-woo spoke: "A brain-dead person who always wants to solve problems by himself. ”
Charlie spoke: "A good fighter who often comes to me for magic battles. ”
Adam spoke: "A mature man who would stand on the balcony with me and talk all night when he wasn't known. ”
"Overall, I used to be introverted, generous, stubborn in thinking, strong in combat, and mature in appearance. "I tried to put my current self on top of the person my classmates remembered, and it turned out that it was definitely me.
"What is Xiao Hui's impression of me?"
Xiao Hui was stunned and bowed his head and was silent.
"In the past, Yi Jiahe always walked with Xiao Hui. By the way, if you want to say Xiao Hui's best friend, it is probably Yi Jiahe. ”
Alex's words prompted Xiao Hui to curl up on the couch like me.
"Yi Jiahe is a gentle fire magician, but he is not the person I am waiting for......"
"Someone waiting?"
"No, it's not," Xiao Hui explained as he looked at me with a wry smile, "I mean, Yi Jiahe is a good person. But he, that ......"
"Incoherent, what are you talking about? Alex sighed.
Xiao Hui hugged his knees and waited for his family to return like a lonely child snuggled by a warm fire on a snowy night.
"All in all, I was a history and I'm a new me. ”
"Not all alone?" Alex, who poured cold water, was infected by Josh.
"But, it's so subtle," I realized that Kojiro was smelling me, "no matter how many times I smell it, this smell is completely different from the previous taste of Kawa." It's a person, why is this happening?"
"What the hell does it smell like?" I was worried that Kojiro would smell me in front of the public.
"Hmm......" Kojiro said after opening his eyes and looking back at the ground in deep thought, "I don't know. ”
"I don't know. "Kojiro Suzuki, serve you.
Adam got up and walked, and I was afraid that everyone would come and smell me later, so I stretched out my hand to stop Adam.
"I'm of a higher class than theirs, and I may be sure of the smell of you. "Using class as a reason, but maybe Adam can really come to a different conclusion than Kojiro, so that everyone doesn't have to smell my uncle's poor sourness.
"Well......" Adam concluded, frowning, "it's the taste of ordinary people. ”
"What?"
"You see, we don't use the shower gel used by ordinary people in our bathrooms, because with admixtures, the taste of the magician will return to the same after a while. Ordinary people are different, the smell of sweat is heavy, and the use of soap leaves a fragrance on the skin. You've taken a shower, and the smell of sweat has lessened, but the body odor remains. ”
"In that case, Kojiro should know what it tastes like. ”
"We mostly live in a group of magicians, so naturally we have little contact with ordinary people, and it's normal for Kojiro to be unable to distinguish for a while. ”
Kojiro looked up with a "uh" and then bowed his head in agreement with what Park Ji-woo said.
"Are there any magicians who smell like ordinary people?"
Subconsciously aimed at Xiao Hui, I left my seat and walked quickly, scaring Xiao Hui into half-squatting on the sofa.
"Hui, smell it. I smiled.
Perhaps because of the fire, Xiao Hui's face turned red. He looked at his arm, then moved his hand slightly out and closed his eyes and said, "If it smells bad, just say it, I won't mind." His expression showed that he cared.
Kneeling on one knee, I leaned over and smelled, "Boiled water?"
"I'll say it. Alex was overjoyed.
"I think it's mineral water. Kojiro retorted.
"The taste of mineral water and plain water is slightly different, Xiao Hui is indeed the taste of boiled water. "Adam voted for Alex.
"I also think it's the smell of plain water. Three to one, Park Ji-woo's vote almost decided this "victory or defeat".
"But why does Xiao Hui have such a taste? Boiling water is obtained by boiling tap water, which requires heat...... Hui, do you know fire magic?"
Xiao Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I haven't even mastered the water magic used in battle, how can I use other elemental magic?"
"It's pure coincidence, just as Kojiro has the scent of cherry blossoms. ”
Hearing Park Ji-woo's words, I asked Kojiro in surprise, "Your taste is floral?"
Kojiro, who was leaning on the sofa, said shyly, "I can't smell myself myself, everyone says yes." ”
It's no wonder that Kojiro can easily feel happy when he can have the fragrance of cherry blossom trees in his hometown. Although he lives far away, he can be one with the proud flower of his hometown, how can he not be happy.
"Charlie has the smell of flame warmth, Kojiro is the scent of cherry blossoms, and Karu is the smell of boiled water, I ...... I'm an ordinary person, so what does the other students in the dormitory smell like?"
After asking this question, I recalled the strange stares of my classmates in the elemental manipulation class, and felt that it would be disgusting to get straight to the point, but three out of ten students didn't mind at all.
The first to speak was Alex: "Do you want to smell it?"
Refuse Alex's still swarthy arms in the light, I want him to answer me directly.
"Josh said I had a burnt ......smell," Alex said after glancing at us, and after noticing that they weren't looking at him in a different light, the black classmate said, "Actually, I think it's a charcoal smell." ”
"It's really charcoal-grilled flavor. Park Ji-woo couldn't take his eyes off the book, but Alex was delighted.
"And then," Alex pointed to Josh, who was as horizontal as a sloth, "this guy smells of earth, and the same smell that most earth mages have. However, Josh's earthy taste is more like a wet earth smell than the usual earthy taste, with a damp feeling. ”
"I'm curious, what would it be like to be the head of the dormitory as a golden magician?" I smiled at Adam.
Adam replied without changing his face, "Floral." ”
I suspect I misheard, so I turn to Alex and see that he is about to bully Josh, and I ask Kojiro for answers.
"I haven't smelled the head of the dormitory...... It is rude to say that it is rude to always smell someone else. ”
Alex, who deliberately lifted Josh's hand but was hit by Josh, pouted, then turned to me and pointed at Josh and said, "It's really rude to smell someone else's face to your face, not an acquaintance will only treat you as an alternative." However, Josh smelled it, and it proved that the smell of the head of the dormitory was floral, and it was a mixture of different kinds of floral fragrances. ”
I suddenly wanted to sniff Adam, but when Adam noticed my intention and looked me in the eye, I dismissed the idea. Perhaps, at some point in the future, I'll smell him after inadvertently bumping into him.
"What about Zhiyu, do you smell of boiling water like Xiao Hui?"
"The smell of mineral water. ”
After listening to Park Ji-woo's answer, I felt an inexplicable sense of joy in my heart.
After a moment of silence, I turned my original joke into a water magician who cared about the smell of mineral water and said, "Zhiyu, the light of the furnace is dim, so it's not good to read like this." ”
"Turn on the lights. ”
Park Ji-woo, who looked up, wanted to turn on the light, but when he saw that I was about to speak, he said to the golden magician, "Adam, change your seat." ”
The head of the dormitory is close to the fire, and it is not easy to hurt his eyes when he reads, not to mention that there is a fire mage on the side to illuminate - Park Ji-woo probably thinks so.
In the warm light of the fire, everyone gathers together, just like a family wishing good health on Christmas Eve. None of the eight spoke, and the only thing left in the dormitory was the faint snoring of Josh except for the crackling of firewood. The happy and harmonious atmosphere I wanted, so enough.
As bedtime approached, the five of them took Josh, who happened to wake up, back to the bedroom, while Xiao Hui and I stayed in the living room.
"I know the promotion exam is coming, but you don't have to sleep and eat. "I said to Xiao Hui, who took the book from Park Ji-woo.
"In the promotion exam, as long as one of the theoretical and practical skills is passed, the magician can successfully advance. I am not strong enough to use advanced magic or magic equipment, and the magical creatures I have captured so far have escaped before they can be released. Therefore, I can only hope for theory, and hope that the gods will have mercy on me and strive to forge ahead and give me a second-class position. ”
The god I know is a difficult person to fathom - he must not be human, but I don't know if it's appropriate to call him a "god" or not. He comforted me when I was desperate, He gave me strength when I was in danger, He gave me tribulation when I was at ease, He gave me this and that when I wanted to forget Him, he gave me this and that to remember that he was looking down on me from above. The mysterious traveler is like a mischievous clown, and it is helpless to play with his fate.
"But why was he so different at that time, as if my truth embraced my soul......"
"What are you talking about?"
"Huh?" I shook my head, "nothing." By the way, Hui, what's your plan for the weekend?"
"Study hard. "Xiao Hui is serious.
I was dizzy: "Hui, you can't stay in the dormitory. Believe me, I'm from here. There are so many kind people here, you should go outside with them. ”
"You mean, doing tasks?"
"Uh, that's right. Well, tomorrow we'll go check out the taskbar and find some easier physical work and earn a little money. ”
Xiao Hui frowned, then stretched his brows and said, "You have lost your memory, so naturally you can't remember how much you have saved." So, tomorrow I'll go with you to the college ATM to check your property. ”
"But, it's useless without a password, right?"
Xiao Hui said with a smile: "Our academy is not an academy in the ordinary world, and the self-service ATMs in it do not require magnetic cards, passbooks and passwords. People usually trade soul devices for money, but you don't have soul devices. No problem, the self-help machine will give you a body scan - even if the memory is missing, Yi Jiahe can't be another person pretending. ”
Judging from the current situation, I should have the same body as Yi Jiahe in the wizarding world.
Looking at the fire that never seemed to be extinguished, I remembered the power of my soul. Xiao Hui seemed to have a clear understanding with me, and he could see through what I was thinking: "Yi Jiahe, if you can, please don't use the blue flame." ”
I turned to Xiao Hui, and he looked down at me and said, "Actually, although I have seen blue flames, it is known that it is only fire magic used by high-ranking magicians, and it is impossible for a second-level fire mage like you to use this color of flame, unless ...... I trust you, but you don't necessarily think you're a light mage like us. If you unleash a blue flame in front of everyone, you will be considered a dark mage, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Xiao Hui put down the book, shrunk his legs, hugged his knees and looked at the fire, and said, "That day, I thought you were drowning and wanted to save you, but I saw a blue flame burning all over your body. To be honest, I was scared, but I decided to risk the burning to save you, after all, you are my important friend. When I found out that I was not burned by your flame, I was not happy but fearful. I have never seen demonic flames, but as Mr. Williams said, no flame does not hurt. I'm worried, will you ...... You may have made a deal with the devil to sell your soul......"
Xiao Hui's last voice was like a mosquito calling, and I almost didn't hear it clearly.
"Hui, I've read about dark magicians. The book says that the dark mage does not give his soul to the devil, but falls into evil and his soul becomes corrupt......"
"It seems to me that it is all the same: a magician who loses to himself and falls into darkness is a villain who sells his soul to demons in exchange for power. ”
I am usually a quiet person, but Xiao Hui's words pierced my heart like a sharp sword, which made me really confused.
There was no bell in the student's dormitory.
I thought about how the dormitory access control system was, and after sighing softly, I said to my old classmates, "Hui, sleep." ”
"You go to sleep first, and I'll read a book for a while. As he spoke, Xiao Hui lowered his legs and picked up the book.
Sighing twice, I lay on the backrest with my back and closed my eyes.
"Not going back to the bedroom?"
"Bored, stay a little longer. ”
I don't know how long the fire burns. I woke up with an extra blanket, and Xiao Hui was still asleep on the couch across from me.
Worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, I was about to get up to check on my classmates, when I saw Charlie, shirtless in the bedroom.
"Morning exercises?"
Charlie nodded and asked me if I would go along. I politely declined.
Since Charlie is fine, everyone will be fine. As for Xiao Hui, perhaps because of the hard work all night, Charlie and I talked to him in a normal voice without waking him up.
On my first weekend in the wizarding world, I had a sunrise I hadn't seen in years. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
