Chapter 055: My Own Totem
Teemo was a little restless and hurried, his hands twitching under his lower abdomen, his eyes watching the flickering lights around him from time to time. I found an eerie purple color on the flames, and there was some rosiness on my face.
As early as now, the dean of the academy actually asked her to come to the dean's office. What makes her a little inexplicable? What did the dignified dean tell him to do here? And it was the dean who came in person, so there was some caution. You must know that the status of the teaching director of Santiago is equivalent to the top first-class family in the royal capital, and the status of the noble deputy patriarch.
Just as he was thinking a little, a sound of footsteps came slowly, very rhythmically. One hand was already pressed against the shoulder, some thick, more heavy.
"What do you need to drink? There are still a lot of drinks here, maybe you can have a little wine, I think you can choose. The old man's slightly hoarse voice slowly came from behind.
As a student here, Timo can naturally know who the owner of the voice is, this is the dean of the entire Santiago, and he is not oppressed by the existence of the kingdom.
It's impossible to say that you're not nervous. Timo's forehead was sweating, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head a little crampedly and whispered, "Just whatever you want, I don't know what the dean is looking for me?" β
"Hehe, don't be so nervous, I'm looking for you this time mainly because of a small thing. Did you see the young man with long linen hair in the library before? His status is very noble, and I have heard before that he misses one of your crystal pendants very much, and I think if there is nothing to do, I can give it to him. The Dean stood in Timo's hand, smiling kindly, but his eyes flashed with a cold light. It's like a sharp knife.
As the dean of San Diego, the status is honorable. Ordinary people can't imagine. He had been worried about the situation inside, so he also paid special attention to the movement inside. After hearing that Grant wanted the crystal pendant, he also planned to give it to the other party. It's just that if the dean of his own hall robs a student's things, he will have to die of laughter if he spreads it, and the mysterious person has a very strange temperament, and the most appropriate thing for this matter is to send it over himself.
He spoke very tactfully, but as long as he wasn't a fool, he should be able to understand the meaning.
"Yes, I see. I've been able to do this. "Teemo was not a fool and could clearly understand how terrible that man's identity was. I can bother the dean to force myself personally. Her family background is not as good as many nobles here, so naturally she has no right to refuse, and after nodding gloomily, she said goodbye to the dean and retreated from the dean's tower.
Standing at the window, looking at Teemo who was leaving, the corners of the dean's mouth quietly outlined an imperceptible sneer.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Timo walked down the street, his face a little depressed, as if he had encountered something unlucky.
There are a lot of students going back and forth on the side of the street. Many alchemists knew that Teemo had just gone to the library and then to the Dean's Tower.
They were all very smart, and seeing Timo's disappointed expression now, it was already clear that it was not a good thing.
"Look that's not Teemo. I have just returned from the Dean's Tower, and I must have encountered a bad luck. I don't think you need to think about it to be able to vaguely guess the outcome. β
"I'm guessing like you, it seems right not to go to the library. The mystery man didn't like people reading with him. β
"It's a pity that I can't go to the library these days, and it seems that I can only go to the actual combat platform to play."
"I'll be with you."
"Yes. Wait until you have time to go there together. β
"Everyone said yes."
β¦β¦
Many alchemists on the side of the street wanted to be invited, and there was some excitement in their expressions and words. Compared to the enthusiastic exchange between them. Teemo appears lonely, as an ordinary declining nobleman. Generally few people take care of it.
She gathered her thoughts and returned to the library.
It's been a whole day, and the library is still very deserted.
Teemo had thought it was a little early to come, and the flax young man hadn't arrived yet. But when he walked in, he also noticed that on the table between the two rows of bookshelves, Grant was already picking up a copy and reading it.
Some golden sunlight shone down the window, shining on Grant's fair face, creating a faint halo. His facial features are already good, but now, he has a little peculiar charm.
On the top of the book, in the sunlight, you can see some fine dust.
Timo strode over and took his seat next to Grant.
After hearing the voice, Grant put down the book in his hand, raised his head and smiled slightly: "What's wrong?" Anything else to do today? β
"No, I think you still need my crystal pendant very much, so I'll give it to you."
"Then what's so embarrassing, so be it, I owe you a favor, what do you want? I can help you reluctantly. β
"Not really."
"You can think about it, my favor is generally not owed, and it can basically help you achieve it."
Upon hearing Grant's promise, Timo hesitated, she also knew that Grant's background was very large, and it was really good for her to be friends with such a person.
So, he simply nodded: "Okay, when I figure out what I want, can I come to you again." β
"No problem, as long as you come to me while I'm not leaving here, I can help you make it happen." Grant nodded lightly and reached out to take the pendant. As soon as I started, the faint fragrance and warmth spread into the skin of the palm, which was very comfortable.
Grant directly shook one hand and withdrew the crystal pendant.
"Thank you." Grant smiled sincerely.
"No, I'll go read a book first." Teemo felt that he had nothing to say after giving it away, so he simply walked to the bookshelf in the corner, picked up a few books that had not been studied, and continued to read.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two days later.
Grant came to the library as usual, and the surroundings were just as usual, not half human, empty.
He picked up a book and wanted to go to the table and read it.
Bang bang bang......
There was a sound of footsteps, and the sound was very rapid and fast-paced.
Grant knew that there were no other students besides Teemo who had come here early in the morning. So. Put down the book and wait for Teemo to see what she wants to say. If you just read a book normally, you don't need to run fast at all, in other words. Timo already knew what he wanted.
A woman with big breasts ran in the doorway, and she ran to Grant's side and gasped. The chest began to rise and fall as I breathed.
"What's wrong? Have you already figured out what kind of things you want? β
"Well, I've already figured out what I want."
"Then you can say it."
"Your Excellency, can you help me find a master to participate in the actual combat table." Teemo said with some embarrassment.
"Combat table? What is this? Can you explain it to me in detail, otherwise, I don't understand what you're trying to say. "Grant has a bit of a hard time, but can guess that it has something to do with San Diego.
"You don't know? Aren't you a student here? Forget it, I'll tell you myself. Timo glanced strangely at Grant in front of him, but decided to tell himself.
"The Combat Bench is where Santiago handles alchemist battles, and is usually prepared for alchemists to improve their skills. There's also a contract battle in there. When there are two opposing alchemists in the academy who hope that the other party will fail miserably, they will make a Moko Demon Contract, which is a rule set by the first dean, and even the current dean has no way to change it. β
"My brother was stupid enough to make this pact with a son of the Grand Duke's family, and if he failed, his hands would be scrapped. As an alchemist, without hands, this is no different from dying. According to one of the rules, you can find other alchemists of the same level and age as contestants. I think Your Excellency must have a lot to do with it. It's okay to find a master. β
Teemo had some prayers to speak to Grant.
She likes her brother very much, and the family is currently only gifted with the two of them, and no matter which one of them, it is impossible to suffer a loss.
Grant groaned. He glanced at Timo and said, "Isn't your relationship with the other students very good?" β
"How do you know?"
"No wonder, forget it. Nothing, since so. Then I'll take your place for your brother. β
"Your Excellency, are you powerful?"
"If not a little sure. Do you think I'll agree to participate in this competition? β
"That's not good, in that case, there is only hope for Your Excellency."
Grant knew that if it weren't for Timo's bad relationship with the other alchemists, he should have known his transcendent status. But there wasn't much to do, and hearing Timo say that, I was a little interested.
However, since he participated, he was not prepared to use his own means, but used the methods of an alchemist.
In these days, Grant has basically understood some of the classifications in the alchemist, as well as the cultivation process. Alchemists remove alchemy, weapons, and the main way of fighting is to rely on totems. And totems are made by totem masters.
You have learned how to make totems, and you can make totems as you like.
Grant also has some ideas to see what it is like to make totems himself, and at the same time physique alchemist this profession.
He was going to stay for three hours, ready to make totems.
So, after asking Teemo to read books in the library for three hours for the time being, he walked alone to a certain rest room on the second floor. Start making your own totems.
Time passed, and Teemo sat in the library reading a book. It's a pity that these days are very difficult, after all, there is an urgent need for powerful alchemists here.
"Hurry up, hurry up." When Teemo realized that he couldn't read the book clearly, he put it aside and read it silently.
There was some eagerness in her heart, and she waited for a long time.
There was a sound on the stairs.
As soon as Timo heard the voice, he jerked up and pushed away, then turned to see Grant with black buckskin gloves on his hands.
He had a shallow smile on his face, and he looked very confident.
Seeing the confident smile, Timo's nervous mood relaxed a little, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "Your Excellency, should we leave for the actual combat table now?" β
"Well, where are we going together? But you lead the way. β
"Got it, Your Excellency, did you just come here, why don't you even know about the actual combat platform?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"May I venture to ask, do you really have to win them over?"
"Hehe, you can rest assured." Grant couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Timo's uneasy repeated questioning. When I first walked to the library door, I thought that since I wanted to test the alchemist's fighting style, I should change my appearance. So he directly changed his face and became a very ordinary appearance. Only, Teemo is set up to see what he looks like.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Actual combat station.
The semi-circular building seating platform was already filled with more than three hundred alchemists. They were lively in their seats, trying to urge the competition to start faster, but they had been waiting for most of the day, but they didn't even see a ghost.
"Hurry up and start, I've been waiting here for a long time, aren't you going to start."
"Master Vince, I've already pressed you to win, and I'm going to make a lot of money later."
"Haha, let's start quickly, I've been thinking about it for a long time."
β¦β¦
In the stands, a group of young aristocrats squeezed each other, laughing from time to time. On the other hand, in the middle arena, there were only three or four people standing.
A handsome man with long golden hair and a shawl on the left sneered, "Jin, don't you dare to compete with me?" Why hasn't there been any movement for half a day, on my side, but I've already let Owenka play in person. β
"You scumbag, you said you should play in person. As a result, it has directly changed its hexagram until now. β
"Haha, why can't you change the hexagram? I have a background, I have connections, do I still have to play on my own? You're so naΓ―ve. But you have to remember that if you lose this game, then leave your right hand and left hand, and I will show it to Lily myself. β
You......
Opposite him was a man who looked like Teemo, his face flushed and his eyes spewing flames. If it weren't for his sister repeatedly warning him, he would have to wait until he arrived, otherwise he would have fought with that guy.
Thinking of the appearance of his sister and some hole cards, Jin still had some confidence for a while. But as time went on, confidence became more and more scarce.
After waiting for a few minutes......
Vince frowned a little impatiently, and said disdainfully: "Do you want to compete, I don't dare to say anything positive after staying there for a long time, if you don't say anything, I can ask the notary to set the time directly, and start quickly." β
"Wait......"
"No need." At this moment, a crisp female voice interrupted Kim's speech.
Jin turned his head and saw the voice coming, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth and said excitedly, "Sister." β
"Well, I've already invited a master, let me play the next master this time."
"The one behind you? Is he reliable? β
"Well, probably."
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing his own appearance, Timo directly added: "Anyway, it's more reliable than you." β
"Okay then." Kim nodded a little helplessly, stood aside and took out a golden stone at the same time, and handed it to Grant.
He said, "This is the battle opening stone. (To be continued......)
