Chapter 32: The Scar in the Heart

"So," Snub Star said, holding a wine glass in his hand, "Now Teacher Dolores is your teacher?"

"Yes. Doris nodded.

"Looks like you're in luck. Snub Xing commented lightly: "Originally, with your current age, you can't enter the Violet Academy, and your current qualifications are not very good, but there is a teacher from the Violet Academy to teach you." ”

"Teacher, are you a teacher at Violet Academy?" Doris looked at Dolores in surprise, of course she knew the name of Violet Academy, but she also knew that her current age was beyond the enrollment range of Violet Academy, and her talent at that time was too poor, so it could basically be said that she had no chance with Violet Academy. Unexpectedly, her teacher turned out to be from Violet Academy, which surprised her very much, after all, Dolores would never tell her about herself, and she didn't dare to ask.

"Well, yes," Dolores said lazily, "because of the dean's care, I've been eating in the academy." As she spoke, she also asked, "You were the one Doris said was the one who brought her out of Dakris, right?"

"Hmm. Snub Star nodded.

"No wonder you know each other," Doloris understood: "However, in my opinion, Doris's qualifications are still very good, although I don't know why she is only at level seven now, but her qualifications are indeed first-class, why do you say that her qualifications are not very good?"

"With her qualifications, if she doesn't give anything special in the future, she can only reach the demigod at most, and it's only in the early or middle stage of the demigod. Snub Xing explained: "After all, the gap between the late demigod stage and the mid-demigod stage is quite large. ”

Doloris wondered in her heart: such a qualification is not even good in his eyes, but she didn't say it, presumably even if she asked, Snub Star wouldn't tell her.

At this time, Snub Xing looked at the counter: "That's the book that Teacher Doloris showed you?"

Doris followed the gaze of the cold star, and saw that on the table at the counter, there was a rather thick book, which was indeed shown to her by Dolores. She recited the incantation, and the book was wrapped in a cyan wind elemental and brought to Snub Star.

Snub Xing took down the book and looked at it, and it turned out to be a book "On the Relationship between Social Forms, Political Systems and Economic Models". He opened it casually, only to see a sentence on the title page that was obviously written by a later person with a pen: "Everything in this world is interrelated, any stable existence must have its rationality, and any contradiction must have its root cause, and our task is only to explore the relationship between them." ”

"Is this a note left by someone before?" Snub Star asked.

"It seems that yes, these books given to me by the teacher basically have this person's notes, all of which are written down in very key places, as well as some of his ideas, which saves me a lot of time when I read them. ”

Doloris next to her saw this note, and a trace of loneliness suddenly flashed in her eyes, these notes are still there, but what about the person who wrote the note?

"It does seem to be going to help you. Snub Star said lightly. Hearing this, Doloris was a little surprised, it turned out that he knew what Doris was going to do in the future? He knew, but he still let her go, and even gave Doris support, which made her very puzzled, what was he thinking? Doloris pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the four-clan martial arts competition?"

Snub Xing turned his head: "I've heard a little, but I don't know much about it, is there any problem?"

"You should only be sixteen or seventeen years old now, but your cultivation has reached the heaven level, with such talent, although your strength is estimated to be insufficient in this four-clan competition, but you should have enough strength in the next four-clan competition, and you will definitely have to participate in it at that time." ”

Snub Star interrupted Dolores faintly, "I'm not going to participate. ”

Dolores was stunned: "Why?" It was a great honor to represent her own race to participate in the four-clan competition, and she had never heard of anyone who would not want to participate.

"I don't participate, naturally there are reasons for me. ”

"Teacher," Doris asked, "what is the four-clan martial arts?"

"It is a competition jointly organized by the human race, the elf race, the orc race and the dwarf race, although it has no substantive significance, but the race that wins the first place will naturally have great honor. Dolores explained: "I also participated in it back then. ”

"Oh?" This moment suddenly aroused Doris's curiosity: "What about the teacher's record?"

"Actually, it's not very good, the four-clan competition is divided into four rounds, and I just passed the first two rounds, and I was eliminated when I entered the semi-finals. ”

"So intense?" Doris felt incredulous: "Teacher, what kind of cultivation did you do at that time?"

"At that time," Doloris thought for a moment, "I participated in the Four Clans Martial Arts Competition seven years ago, that is, the last one, when I was twenty-one years old, and my cultivation was in the middle of the saint level. ”

"What?" Doris became more and more surprised: "Then teacher, weren't you only a year older than me at that time, and you had a mid-level cultivation level?

"Well," Doloris nodded, "The contestants of the four races cannot be older than twenty-five years old, even the elves of the race have a much longer lifespan than the human race, after all, like the human race, they all mature at the age of eighteen. For a long time, the first place in the competition of the four clans has always been the elf race, and there is indeed a gap between their talent and ours. In the competition of the four clans, the contestants are basically the strength of the middle stage of the holy level, and the strong ones have reached the late stage of the holy level, and it is said that among the four contestants of the elf race, at least two of them have reached the late stage of the holy level each time, and it can be seen from here that the elves are talented. ”

"I've barely heard of the elves. ”

"It's no wonder that the elves live in the Lost Forest, and few elves come out, because the elves are extremely beautiful in both men and women, and there are many nobles who want to capture elves as slaves, and there are also many slave traders wandering around the Lost Forest, hoping to catch an elf who goes out by chance and sells it for a large price, I heard that there are indeed elf slaves in the homes of some nobles. ”

"Lost in the Forest?" Doris was a little puzzled, "I don't think it's good to say that, but if that's the case, why don't those slave traders go into the Lost Forest to catch the elves, but outside the Lost Forest?

"You should know that the Lost Forest is one of the four dangerous places in the Demon Martial Continent, right?"

"Yes, I know, but it is not clearly stated in the book, isn't it because the elves live in the Lost Forest?"

"It's not just because of the elves," Dolores explained, "The Lost Forest, as the name suggests, is a place where people can get lost. In the Lost Forest, there is a white mist that is produced for some reason all year round, and these fogs can cause people to hallucinate, and they are unconsciously trapped in this illusion, even if they are saint-level powerhouses. Unless you reach the level of a demigod, you can't resist this illusion at all, and you can only linger in the forest until you are found and killed by the elves or your life ends. ”

"What?" Doris was taken aback, "This fog is so powerful, but if that's the case, how did the elves survive in the Lost Forest?"

"The elves have an innate talent called the True Eye, their eyes can see through all the environment and disguises, such as invisibility is completely ineffective against them, so the environment brought by this fog has no effect on them. ”

"I see," Doris sighed, "what a race favored by the heavens, not only with great talents, special abilities, but even a home that exists specifically for them." ”

"That's true," Dolores agreed with her: "Now if you want to see the elves, you basically have to go to the City of Light to watch the four races compete, after all, even if there are elves hidden in the human race, they will not appear in their original forms, and such elves basically have considerable strength." ”

Listening to their conversation, Snub suddenly thought of the elf he had met that day, and learned some very important information from her, but he didn't ask her name, only that she should be one of the contestants of the elf race this time. However, there should still be a chance to meet him, after all, he has already planned to go to the Lost Forest once, and maybe he can learn more about the founder of the Holy Light City and the first generation of the city lord Saint Tianxing. After going back that time, he deliberately went to the library of Violet Academy, but he didn't find any relevant records, thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become deep, that Saint Tianxing, is it?

After Doloris drank the wine in the glass, she suddenly found that the several wine bottles that Doris had brought before were empty: "Why is there no wine?"

Doris replied, "Teacher, today is the Holy Night, the boss originally thought that there was no one, there are not too many people at the Holy Night counter, and there are only a few bottles of spirits you want." ”

"It's gone. She frowned, and understood, it should be that the owner and his wife knew that she always drank spirits, so they deliberately reduced the amount of spirits, not wanting her to drink too much, after all, she had known them for a long time.

Seeing the teacher's expression, Doris hurriedly said, "But it's just that there are no spirits, and there are still some other wines." Would you like a bottle of red wine? The red smile in the shop is still very good. ”

"Crimson smile?" Hearing the name, Dolores was in a trance for a moment, she knew, this was the most popular drink in this tavern, how long had she not drunk it?as if she hadn't drunk it since that incident, she had only drunk spirits to numb herself, maybe, she should have a drink?

She nodded, "Okay, bring me a bottle." ”

Doris answered, took a bottle of wine from the counter, and placed it on the table to open it. The bottle is a dark rosΓ© red with a soft sheen and a subtle fragrance wafting from it, looking around as if everything is covered in crimson roses.

Doloris poured a glass for herself, Doris, and Snub Star, then picked up her own cup and drank it directly, the rich fragrance suddenly filled her mouth and nose, making her intoxicated for a moment. However, this was only a matter of a moment, as the wine fell into her stomach, the fragrance in her mouth was gone, only a faint sense of loss, this sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, made her involuntarily shed two lines of tears.

"Teacher?" Doris looked at her teacher in surprise, she had known her teacher for a few months, and this was the first time she had seen her cry.

Dolores closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Even if I covet this fragrance and refuse to swallow it, there will always be a moment when I drink it in my stomach." Once in my belly, this sweet feeling will no longer be there, and will eventually be lost, is this my fate?"

Doris couldn't quite understand the meaning of the teacher's words, but she could feel the teacher's deep sadness, and she didn't know which corner of the teacher's heart it touched. It's just that she guessed a long time ago that something major must have happened to the teacher, so she can't let go of it to this day. Looking at the teacher's appearance, I am afraid that this incident has left a deep scar in her heart, and this scar may exist in the teacher's heart for a lifetime.

She turned her head again and looked at the cold star, only to see a trace of confusion and confusion in his silver eyes. Seeing the appearance of the snub star, Doris's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of sympathy for him, can he feel such an emotion?
