"That's it, magic. Xiao Chen held a small spot of light in his hand, which was only the size of a fingernail, and the brightness was very high, like a small light bulb. But this point of light is very unstable, not so much like a dot, but like a cloud of wind and sand, or a handful of fireflies gathering together. It swayed and fluttered, bringing the light and shadow of the room constantly changing.

"It's like a little universe. Luo Ling said seriously.

"I've lived most of my life, and I didn't expect to see a scene like this. It's like jumping into a movie out of nowhere. Guo Qian sighed.

"When Morey showed me this simplest light technique, I thought it was bizarre. Xiao Chen agreed.

"It's nothing, when you reach my age and see all kinds of ghosts and ghosts in society, you will understand that more bizarre things are happening around us every day. Guo Qian raised his eyebrows and said.

"Uncle, you are angry again, I always feel that you are younger than me. Luo Ling teased.

Guo Qian laughed and reached out to touch the point of light. But Xiao Chen hurriedly blocked it with his hand, "Principal, don't touch it, I can't control it well, maybe it's dangerous." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we're doing research, we're seeing something new. The heart is itchy, and the hand is uncontrollable. It's like a thief who sees a bag and wants to cut his hands. ”

Xiao Chen slowly closed his palms, wanting to extinguish the point of light, but he didn't expect that when he was halfway through, the small point of light suddenly shone brightly, and the brightness of the light suddenly increased several times, and then turned into a light smoke with a bang.

Several people were unprepared, and tears flowed down their eyes at once.

Xiao Chen covered his eyes and said, "I'm really sorry, this is the problem with Morey's mental power, it is strong enough, but it is too unstable, and it takes much more practice than others to release magic correctly." ”

"Either way, it's a great thing. With this little point of light, at least you're on the path of a magician. Guo Qian wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, walked to the sofa in the office and sat down.

Luo Ling walked to the window of the office, opened the curtains, and the afternoon sun shone in, which seemed to pull people back from the illusion to reality at once. Xiao Chen stared at his palm for a long time, making sure that there was no longer any abnormality, and then sat opposite Guo Qian with Luo Ling.

"For now, this matter needs to be kept secret from others. Guo Qian thought for a while and said.

"What do you mean?"

"It's a fascinating force. Yet we know nothing about its nature and dangers. You've learned it by mistake, so study it carefully. For the rest of us, their main focus now must be on building our home in another world. You know, most of the children here are young, and every boy has a heroic dream in his heart. ”

"Some girls have it too. Luo Ling said with a smile.

Guo Qian pointed at Luo Ling with his finger and said with a smile: "You, you, since you were a child, I have seen that you are a little ghost who can't stop, and you have a big heart." He looked at Xiao Chen again and continued, "Anyway, I don't want those young people to think about how to get such power all day long and ignore the matter at hand. We can now say that we are trembling and not daring to slacken in any way. What's more, we don't understand the nature of magic, and what kind of mutations people will have when they get this power. There is a lot of potential risk involved. ”

"Your concerns are well founded. Xiao Chen agreed.

""The Shadow Scroll of Knowing the Sea is up to you to study. Anyone who has seen you unleash magic will ask them to keep this secret for the time being, or at least not spread it widely. This should be done gradually. ”

"I see. ”

"I hope you understand this power well, and we will try to support you with all kinds of resources. After all, you have mastered it so quickly, which means that this power is universal in this world. Perhaps one day, our enemies will appear before us with this power in their hands. If we don't know who we are, we will fall into passivity. ”

"You're right, I always felt that we were in great danger, and what happened to me on this trip made me even more convinced. ”

Guo Qian took out a cigarette and rubbed it in his hand: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." If only everyone around you thought like you. It's a pity that some people have unconsciously begun to take the current calm as the norm. Is this naïve or naïve, or is it an ostrich mentality?"

"Some people really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they even oppose Wang Jiyuan's plan to make all the soldiers a soldier, and they don't want to think about it, just those people's guards can't even see the school wall. Luo Ling said.

"A handful of people, don't worry too much. However, Guo Qian didn't seem to want to say more on this topic, he lit a cigarette himself, and said with a sly smile: "If you smoke something less, I won't invite you, young people can't get addicted to smoking here, it's an irremediable torture." ”

When Guo Qian smoked, the whole room fell into peace, Luo Ling couldn't stand the second-hand smoke, walked to the window and leaned against the window edge. Xiao Chen buried himself in the sofa, smelling the faint smell of smoke, as if he was experiencing the breath of the past world.

After Guo Qian finished smoking, he carefully removed the sponge filter from the cigarette butt. It was placed in a small cigarette case on the table.

"What are you?"

"The people in the industrial group said that not a single stitch or thread is allowed to be wasted, and the garbage of modern society is also the wealth of this world. So try to ask us to recycle anything that might be useful, and while I don't know what a small piece of artificial sponge can do, it starts with me. ”

"I know what a sponge filter can do. I see you're sneaking a sniff at the filter. Luo Ling did not hesitate to expose Guo Qian.

"Less nonsense. Guo Qian looked at him left and right and said, "Well, so the goblin attack that Xiao Chen encountered this time is both a bad thing and a good thing, we have to make a goblin threat theory, publicize it a lot, and scare those guys." By the way, the military team proposed the training of the whole people, the industrial group planned the production of crossbow arrows, and the diplomatic team proposed to hire local guards. ”

Seeing that both of them nodded, Guo Qian asked Xiao Chen again: "What do you think of this Morey, will there be any complicated background?"

Xiao Chen didn't answer right away. He knew that President Guo had asked a difficult question, and a person could not understand it by simply getting along. At least he Xiao Chen didn't have this ability, so he had to tell the truth without emotion: "He said that he was an alchemist who was looking for alchemy materials in the surrounding mountains, and he didn't want to be kidnapped by goblins. He was originally in a city called Moncayo, where he studied alchemy with his teacher, but because of his background, he was ostracized by his aristocratic classmates, and left the school after completing his studies. He hopes to find a town with abundant resources and open an alchemy workshop. I felt that he should be useful to us, and I brought him back after saving him. However, we didn't reveal much to him. ”

"Is it possible that he infiltrated our school for some purpose?" Luo Ling's eyes seemed to pass through Xiao Chen's body, making Xiao Chen answer very stressed: "I think it's very unlikely." He was literally caught by the goblins, and was almost tied to a pillar and disemboweled. If we hadn't rushed in in time, he would have died at the hands of the goblins. It should have been an accident that he met us. ”

"I heard that he had a strange silver wire that could be used as a weapon, how do you know that he didn't have any other back-up at that time? Maybe if you don't make a move, the script will become that he rescued Li Tianrui and others, sold the school a good one, and then mixed in. Luo Ling changed her way of thinking and analyzed.

"This ......" Luo Ling's brain hole made Xiao Chen speechless, he thought for a while and said: "I always feel that there are too many variables in this way, it is better to come to the camp directly and join us." ”

Luo Ling was still about to argue, but was stopped by Guo Qian waving his hand.

"Well, it's useless to think too much about this kind of speculation, spies can be used by me, and our people may also be developed into spies. Now the question is, what does he think of us?"

"He could tell at a glance that we were not from this continent, and when I said we were from far away, he didn't ask any questions. However, I think it would be difficult for this person to be fooled by the argument that the magic test had gone wrong and caused an accidental fall like those villagers, after all, he is an expert in magic, and now he also knows that my magic level is very low, and I have no inheritance. However, he is very interested in our technology and keenly aware of the essential differences between our technological products and the world's civilization. As we walked with us, he studied it for a long time with my watch and flashlight, and finally told me that this was a great power that was very different from alchemy. ”

"Hehe, an alchemist who is interested in science, do you understand, what is alchemy?" Guo Qian said curiously, "I know that alchemy on earth is something that is almost superstitious. What about in this world?"

Morey said that alchemy is a branch of magic that specializes in making all kinds of items with magical effects, and that alchemists are mostly very low at using magic directly, but can often make substitutes for high-level magic. He showed me some of his potions and gadgets, really useful things, and helped us avoid many dangers in the forest. I feel like alchemy is a bit like our chemistry and biology and medicine are a mix of what we do. ”

"Valuable technology. ”

"Yes, his knowledge of magic alone is valuable. That day in the goblin camp, he could tell from the goblins' sacrificial ritual that they were summoning some kind of spirit. ”

"Soul?"

"Well, it seems to be a ghost or something. Those weird and terrifying scenes made Xiao Chen shudder a little when he thought about it now, "Goblins pay attention to ancestor worship and also sacrifice various totems. Ancestors and totem beasts will be summoned in the form of spirits. Morey said that the blood of pure-blooded humans is very popular with these souls, which is why goblins go everywhere and kidnap people to sacrifice. However, he didn't know why the goblins suddenly appeared in this forest and then performed a blood sacrifice ceremony. ”

"Well, without him, we probably wouldn't even know why we were attacked. In that case, we will find a way to keep him and work with us. Guo Qian patted the armrest of the sofa and stood up, "If he wants to read our books, he will show him our books, and if he wants to learn our things, he will learn our things." At the same time, our people also learn alchemy from him and learn about this world. He is a true intellectual of this world. Great value to us. ”

"Is this really good? Such a smart person, as long as he reads a little bit of our books and has a little in-depth communication with our people, our origin will be exposed. Luo Ling saw that Guo Qian became more and more excited the more he spoke, and couldn't help but pour some cold water.

Guo Qian smiled and asked, "What about revealing the origin? Can you really hide it?"

"yes, revealing our origins doesn't make us any more dangerous. Our danger lies in our own weakness, not in whether others know where we come from. It is very important to absorb the strength of the local people in a timely manner. What's more, we are very suspicious that the ancestors of these people are all earthlings. He admired Principal Guo's decisiveness in his heart, and Luo Ling's skeptical mentality was smaller than him.

"Also, if our people are caught and tortured. I don't expect them to die or give in. Luo Ling sighed.

Guo Qian said: "For smart people, honesty may be the best way to get along, rather than let him fall into speculation and distrust. It's better to take the initiative to make everything clear. I look forward to the day he joins. ”

Xiao Chen said happily: "If you say so, I will be relieved." It seems to me that he has been hooked. ”
