Chapter 123: Dead Ashes
After Shi Kodi said this, she found that the other party was not as happy as she imagined.
Rather, on the contrary, for the first time, Villeret's face lost a smile.
Although anyone can understand that the smile was a disguise to hide the sadness in her heart, it already shows that the blonde girl did not feel any emotions like "joy" at this time.
Villerit did not speak, and kept staring into her friend's eyes with a dark gaze until the silver-haired girl began to feel uneasy.
β...... Poety, I remember that you moved from the Hall School to the Rasputin School because of the alliance between Lord Hall and Lord Rasputchin? β
"Yes."
Although Shi Kodi didn't know the other party's intention to ask this question, she nodded honestly.
"Has your current position changed from before?"
"I'm now Lord Rasputin's assistant......"
"You're the only one?"
"Yes. Because Master Rasputin has no students. β
"It looks like your status is a little higher than before." Villette smiled, "And you've told me before that you'd rather stay with Lord Rasputin?" This is a wish fulfillment, congratulations. β
"Well, of course...... But now is not the time to talk about that-"
"Poetry, can you really understand how I'm feeling right now?"
ββ¦β¦β
Slowly, Villette withdrew her hand and looked at the window again, before turning back a moment to stare at her quilt.
"I don't need others to do it for me, I want to prove my worth. Even if I can't be a wizard, it doesn't mean I'm useless anywhere, does it? β
When the blonde girl spoke, although her tone was very calm, her palms were unconsciously forced, clutching the corners of the quilt, clutching very tightly.
There was a dark expression on Willett's face for a long time, like a hot ember left after the flames had dispersed, and Poeti felt that just looking at her felt like her eyes were burned, and she could only subconsciously look away.
"So it's okay, don't worry about me. Even if I leave the Tower, I can go somewhere else, to the Rhine Kingdom, or to my homeland. If you have time in the future, you can stop by and visit me. But the only thing I hate is being deceived. Do you understand? I've had enough of liesβ"
Sycody realizes that the other party seems to be mistaken.
"No, listen to me, Willy, I didn't intercede with anyone. I know you don't need charity. β
She calmly stopped the other from continuing.
"What's more, do you think I have what it takes to change the mind of a legendary wizard? Rest assured, Master Rasputin offered to make you his student, including letting you leave your original school, as part of his deal with Master Green. β
"The results of your body's tests, and the fact that you won't be able to become a wizard in the future, it's impossible to hide from that adult. But he never took it to heart. β
A relieved smile appeared on the silver-haired girl's face.
"Now, can you rest assured?"
......
The girl had been staring at the bed with her head down since just now.
He ...... Lord Raspuchin, didn't change your mind? β
"Yes."
"So, why?"
The blonde girl finally raised her eyes, but the thick haze in her pupils did not dissipate at all because of her friend's words.
"What could be the fact that a legendary wizard needs a wasted man without any magical powers?"
"This ......"
Silky didn't know how to answer for a moment.
When she first heard the news, her first reaction was, of course, that she was genuinely happy for her friend, just as Lord Rasputin had saved Villeret's life from the Dark Wizard, and this time, he would save his best friend's life.
Because of the extraordinary position of the Lord in her mindβthe Maiden saw him as the only humane leader in the Tower who could be called "respectful" rather than "fearful", and when Rasputin conveyed this command to her, her heart was filled with pure joy.
However, when Scotti calmed down, she quickly realized what was unusual:
As Willett says now, what is the purpose of Lord Rasputin?
A wizard is not a philanthropist, and a wizarding leader is unlikely to be. He must have some reason to take a fancy to Villeret. You know, Rasputin had never taken in a student before.
"Probably...... Somehow, Lord Rasputchin, can heal your body. β
Poeti said hesitantly.
"Really?" Violet blinked, "Even if that's true, so what? I'm a loser from the Grimm School, and even if I can regain my ability to cast spells, that's just the point..... I don't think there's a value in being treated specially. β
She placed her hand gently on her chest, her voice frighteningly calm.
- "Tell me, Poety, where is there in me that is worthy of that adult's attention?" β
The silver-haired witch opened her mouth. She wanted to persuade the other party not to give up on herself like this, but she blocked her mouth for a thousand reasons, but in the end she couldn't say a word.
......
After nearly half a day of the world, Shikodi got up and decided to leave this place that made her feel extremely heavy.
During this long time, no one spoke anymore. The silver-haired witch just sat quietly on the edge of the hospital bed, accompanying her friend and watching the sun rise from the east to the middle of the sky.
"Lord Rasputin will be here in person tomorrow, so please be prepared."
The silver-haired witch leaves her last words at the door, but does not get a response from her friend.
Silky looked into the room again.
The dazzling light outside the window illuminated the pure white room, and she looked at the girl sitting on the bed as if it was transparent, sighed quietly, and closed the door.
*
A day later, Sykodi returned to the door.
This time, there was a masked man behind her.
The witch's fingers had just touched the wooden door, and then she retracted hesitantly.
She turned around, and was about to say something when "Raspuchin" had already walked past the girl.
"Miller, you're waiting outside."
β...... I understand. β
Sycody bent down respectfully. The long silver-white ponytail looked a little listless and slipped down and landed on the side of the girl's shoulder.
The wizard leader glanced at her, pulled the door open, and stepped into the room.
