Chapter 20: The Witch
"Ahh Wait, what just happened?" Liu Li lay on the floor of a study, her mind in a mess. "Oh, by the way, I'm going to the Academy of Magic, looking for ...... Who's coming, well, going to school. There seems to be a very beautiful golden girl with a long ponytail, what is it called...... Tifa, or Tina, I can't remember, but the kind girl helped me show me the way. What happened after that? Villa? right...... I got to a villa, and then she ran away, and after that I seemed to ...... Ringing ...... The door?"
The scene in the memory finally came to the moment before losing consciousness, Liu Li suddenly came to his senses, turned over and sat up, and then fell down again. He felt as if he had been swallowed by a giant beast and then the giant beast danced for a while with a very difficult street dance. Liu Li only remembered that he knocked on the door of the villa gently, and then a pitch-black round hole suddenly appeared under his feet, although he was caught off guard, but with the reaction speed of a martial artist, he should not have fallen into such a simple trap. But who knew that the arc flashed in the round hole, different from the bright purple red or his own unique blue, the pitch-black flash of ink was almost impossible to find with his eyes if he did not feel it himself. The arc climbed up his body, and although he didn't cause any damage to his body, he also directly let his movements out of shape, unable to escape the scope of the round hole. However, before falling in, it seems that Tina, who led the way for herself, was also not spared, and the encounter was the same as herself.
Then there was a violent tremor, as if you were in a small space, and then the whole space was still churning. Whenever he wanted to maintain his balance with the reaction of a martial artist, as long as he raised a little bit of strength, the black current would suddenly appear, defeating the power that he had easily gathered.
The clear sense of time made Liu Li know that his previous experience was actually only a few seconds, but the dizziness in his mind felt as if he had been tossing and turning for hours. Turning her head to look at Tina moaning behind her, the energetic girl was very embarrassed at the moment, her long golden hair was still dazzling, but the neat long ponytail had been completely scattered. has also experienced the baptism of electricity, and this girl's hairstyle at this time is unbearable to look at.
"Little Tina, where do you want to escape?" A lazy voice came, and Liu Li, who was slumped on the ground, raised his eyes to look over, and a woman came out from behind the long table that occupied one-fifth of the entire study space. The long black hair was not particularly carefully groomed, the ends of the hair were slightly upturned, and the eyes were not fully opened, as if they had not woken up, but the golden eyes were faintly visible, which did not look like human eyes, at least humans could not have vertical pupils like cold-blooded animals. She has a strange beauty, and her lazy expression and movements can't hide the piercing gaze, which makes people can't help but look at it but don't dare to look at it directly. "And you, what are you here for?"
Liu Li has faced and even experienced death several times, but he has never felt so frightened, and he can't even stand up, only subconsciously reverses with his hands and feet, as if he is about to experience something more terrible if he hesitates. Tina next to her also ignored her peculiar hairstyle at all, and her movements were simply in sync with Liu Li's, and the expression on her face was even more exaggerated than Liu Li's. Seeing that she is so skilled in using her hands and feet, it must not be the first time that this experience has occurred.
In fact, to be reasonable, Landolia's voice is quite good, and her lazy tone is very intoxicating. But the two people who were staring at the golden vertical pupils had no other thoughts in their hearts except fear. Liu Li knew that he had to answer the other party's questions now, and if he didn't explain why he was here, the end would not be as simple as being thrown out.
From crossing into this world, to being rescued by Wells and being accepted as a student, he has been talking about his experiences along the way after leaving Casfield City. Liu Li has never felt that she has such an excellent talent for language, she is fluent from the beginning to the end, not to mention that she is at least meticulous, she will never skip the details that should be overlooked, and she will not say a word of nonsense where she should be ignored. It's not about how well Wells is directing in terms of language, it's just that I'm completely scared.
Handing Wells's letter of introduction to the other party, Liu Li took the time to observe the environment he was in. There is no doubt that this is the study of the owner of the villa, as can be seen from the bookshelves clinging to the walls. There weren't too many things on the huge long desk, and it could be seen that although Landolia was one of the vice presidents of the academy, she didn't have too many things to deal with. Thinking about the experience at the door of the villa, it suddenly dawned in my heart, it is estimated that no one in the entire academy would have the courage to push too much work to her.
Although he did not turn on the "omniscient" state, the improvement of his physical fitness also brought Liu Li good eyesight. Most of the books on the shelves belong to the category of black elements, except for a few that describe the rules for the use of red elements. In addition, there are those travelogues like Wells, which tell the life of mercenaries. This also made the fire of gossip in Liu Li's heart burn, what is the relationship between the two people. Although it is inconvenient to say anything in terms of personality, Landolia is still very beautiful in terms of figure and appearance as a woman, and Liu Li can only try to control her heart to die now and avoid saying anything strange.
"Tina, she usually ......" Until there was nothing noteworthy in the furnishings of the room, Liu Li, who was a little bored, finally mustered up her courage, gently touched the blonde girl beside her, and asked softly.
But before he finished speaking, he was suddenly covered by the other party, and there was nothing but fear in his panicked eyes. Liu Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "How much psychological shadow area does this have to be to cause such a strong reaction!"
"Tina, help me clean up the house. Landolia, who finally finished reading the letter, instructed: "As for you, Liu Li, follow me...... Well, forget it, I'll take you there. After saying that, on the floor under Liu Li, the strange round hole appeared again, and the paralysis caused by the previous electric current had not completely subsided, and Liu Li, who had no way to resist, fell into it again, but fortunately, this time there was no longer an electric current.
"Tell me how that old money fan is doing now. Liu Li, who fell out of the black hole again, found himself in a bedroom, and Landolia was sitting on the chair in front of him, her expression was indescribably serious, and there was no trace of the previous laziness.
Knowing that the other party had a close relationship with his teacher, Liu Li did not hide it, and focused on the abnormality that Wells showed before he left, "The teacher must have encountered something, but unfortunately my strength is too poor now, not only can I not help, but I will also drag my feet." ”
"Don't overthink it. Sighing softly, looking at the child in front of her, who could only be regarded as a teenager, Landolia's tone softened a lot, "Your teacher is going to face a war, and he doesn't have to be involved in it, but all of this is actually for me." ”
Landolia did not hide it from Liu Li, but explained the reasons for everything. "The empire has been quiet for too long, like an aging monster that hasn't shown its minions for too long. And now she doesn't want to tolerate the provocations from around her anymore, so there will be a war in the west, and your teacher, instead of me, is involved. Speaking of this, Liu Li clearly saw a trace of tenderness from Landolia's pale golden vertical pupils.
"But you don't have to worry too much, your teacher is also a high-level no matter how bad it is, and he can ensure his own safety, not to mention that the empire will arrange a guard group led by high-level warriors for every high-level mage, and most of the mages are in the rear of the battle array, so there won't be too many problems in safety. Besides, war is not so easy to start, and in a short period of time, it will not be able to be fought. Seeing that the worry in Liu Li's eyes did not decrease, Landolia continued to patiently comfort her. Liu Li traveled from a peaceful world, and Wells explained this matter in detail in his letter.
"As for you, it would also be good for you for Wells to arrange for you to come here to study. After a pause, Landolia continued, "Your teacher told me about the path you chose, and I have to say it's crazy, but I like your choice. No one has ever walked the path of dual cultivation of law and martial arts, as he once said to you, the erosion of the elements on the body cannot be avoided, and your physique can indeed reduce the impact of the erosion of the elements. ”
Although the other party tried his best to show a calm state of mind in front of him, from many details, Liu Li could still detect the worries in Landolia's heart about Wells's going to the western battlefield, and Liu Li had nothing to do about it.
After talking for a long time, Landolia no longer showed the madness of the first meeting in front of Liu Li, but Liu Li felt more and more uncomfortable about it, "That...... Vice-President. ”
"You can call me a teacher like Wells. Liu Li was interrupted by the other party before he could finish speaking, "Or you can call me Lan Duo directly, your teacher has always called me that." ”
"Okay, Teacher Landuo......" Liu Li didn't dwell too much on the title, "Actually, you can behave the same as usual, I feel so awkward that you are suppressing yourself like this now." Eventually, Liu Li couldn't help but die, but thankfully, a voice from outside the villa distracted Landolia.
"Lando, where did you hide my Tina?"
A few minutes ago, at the top of the tallest mage tower in the Eleno Academy of Magic and Wizardry, in the Dean's office, the busy Dean of Ex was dealing with the papers that were piling up higher and higher as the school season arrived. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Oh no, Dean! Tina has been captured by the Vice Dean again!" and another precious magic pen broke in two in the anger and helplessness of a high-ranking mage.
