- In the early morning of the next day, Ye Qingxuan woke up from an obscure dream and felt that she was soaked in cold sweat.

Without his usual lucidity, his brain was groggy. He couldn't remember what he had dreamed of, but he remembered nothing but obscurity, turmoil, and darkness full of hoarse mutters and muffled outpourings.

The memories of the nightmare seemed to be diluting and dissipating rapidly, disappearing without a trace, and soon he couldn't even say what he had dreamed about.

He sighed and picked up the strange stone fragment from the bedside: he had tried to communicate with the fragment last night using the interpretation method, trying to decipher the strange words on it, but to no avail. I don't know when, I fell asleep.

Then tossing and turning in dreams, struggling.

Now it seems that this piece of stone is full of weirdness. In the early morning light, the cuneiform characters on the stone tablets shimmered with a dull green shimmer, like a fierce poison left over from ancient times, which made people's hearts tremble.

"What the hell is this weird thing?"

Ye Qingxuan didn't know why he wanted to take this thing back and try it last night, maybe it was just an impulse. But perhaps, this thing really has some kind of attraction to him, which makes him want to join it.

He sighed, put the stone chips in his pocket, got up to wash, and tiptoed through the silent living room to push the door open.

In the academy at five o'clock, not many people had woken up, and it was silent.

A faint white mist hung over the surroundings, and in the silence there were only wild cats walking through the grass, and when they noticed him passing, they raised their green eyes.

For some reason, today's wild cats are very sticky to him, constantly running over and rubbing against him. Make an intimate voice.

Being glued by this group of fluffy little guys, Ye Qingxuan also felt a lot better, but like an illusion, when the wild cats meowed, he always felt that the stone chips in his arms trembled slightly, but after taking them out, there was still nothing abnormal.

Ye Qingxuan sighed. It seems that sleep is not good, and there are always various delusions.

He didn't want to wake up early, in fact, after so many things in the past two days, he was so tired that he wanted to sleep for a day. But no matter what, he didn't want to stay in bed.

The ascension ceremony is ready, and once all the materials are put into it, you can't wait too long.

Unless he was really willing to throw away the first prize, he would have to run to the big library early in the morning to receive the ceremony.

It was supposed to be a good thing to do, but thinking about what Ingmar's guys were doing. And the next way to deal with it, he was a little unhappy.

"A world where you don't even have a lazy sleep is really no longer necessary......"

Ye Qingxuan muttered to himself, and couldn't help but sigh: It seems that he was really born to work hard, and he can't be idle for a moment.

Just as he was walking towards the large library with his head downcast, a familiar voice came from ahead.

"Yo, good morning. ”

On the bench on the side of the road, James, one of the leaders of the former Change Academy, who had been defeated by Ye Qingxuan, made a sound.

He seemed to have stayed up all night without sleeping. With two big dark circles under his eyes, he said hello weakly. See Ye Qingxuan. His expression became a little unhappy.

"Uh, good morning. ”

Ye Qingxuan was a little stunned, not knowing why he appeared here. But James pushed a heavy suitcase at his feet:

"This is what the teacher asked me to give to you. ”

"Mr. Yegor?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the suitcase full of things, and didn't understand what the coach, who had never liked him very much, wanted to give him.

"Inside are some of the materials collected in the Academy of Change. ”

James sneezed and sniffled. This guy has been blown by the cold wind for too long in the morning, and he has a cold, and his voice is a little out of tune:

"The Apocalypse Academy has a great cause, and the collection of materials is enough to fill several music history departments. With your poor collection of books, how can you play against them?"

Ye Qingxuan opened the suitcase. I saw that it was full of old local antiquities, all of which were interpretive treatises on the Voynich manuscript. There are many rare materials and research, and there are also some brand new manuscripts, which are simply bound, and are obviously copies made overnight.

I didn't expect that the Change Academy would support him, although it was just a box of books, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but be a little moved: "Thank you." ”

"Don't get me wrong, no one likes you at the Change Academy. ”

James snorted, then got up and left.

didn't take a few steps, this guy sneezed several times in a row, and even snot came out, obviously holding it all the time, not embarrassed in front of Ye Qingxuan.

The corners of Ye Qingxuan's mouth couldn't help twitching:

...... How face-loving these guys are!

He sighed, lifted the box with some difficulty, and continued towards the Great Library. He hadn't taken a few steps before he was stopped by a black shadow scurrying out of the stab.

It was a pitch-black shadow leopard, vigorous and massive, almost half a man's height after squatting up. Being looked at by those eyes, Ye Qingxuan only felt that there was some hair at the base of his neck.

"Yo, how is the junior!"

Beside the ocelot, the female leader of the summoning academy, Elsa looked at him, her expression full of anticipation: "What about your dog?

It just so happens that you've been in the limelight lately, so why don't you find a time to talk about it? ”

As she spoke, she rubbed her hands excitedly, her eyes full of excitement, like a beast seeing something fun, eager to try!

Feeling the genuine battle intent and a slight tingling, Ye Qingxuan took a step back and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't want to fight now." ”

"Tsk, it's boring!"

Elsa's expression suddenly became disappointed, and she threw the huge satchel in her hand into Ye Qingxuan's arms: "This is for you." “

Throwing the satchel into his arms, Ye Qingxuan was almost smashed and stumbled, only to feel that his hand was heavy and barely caught it. Before he could ask a question, he saw Elsa walking away with the pitch-black shadow leopard, and only a faint voice came:

"A batch of old books from the Summoning Academy to be disposed of. The teacher told me to throw it away, I was too lazy to leave, please help me find a suitable garbage dump. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled bitterly and said loudly, "Thank you." “

In the distance, Elsa simply waved her hand with her back to him and disappeared into the mist.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the satchel and box in his hand. With a sigh, he struggled to carry them and continued on his way, but he didn't take a few steps before he saw a familiar figure.

"Karen?"

Seeing his appearance, Karen showed a stunned expression, looked down at the small suitcase in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that I was preempted?"

As he spoke, he handed the suitcase to Ye Qingxuan. "Recently, there is a batch of materials of the Royal School that are very old and need to be copied. And you happen to be a scribe......"

Ye Qingxuan opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Karen waving his hand: "Don't say thank you to me." To be honest, I really want to kick you out of school.

Does your gray hair look too glaring to dye it?"

Ye Qingxuan shrugged, "This, I can't help." ”

Cullen shook his head and waved. Signal for him to go.

But Ye Qingxuan was still standing in place, just looking at him: "Why help me?"

"Let's be honest. If you can, I really don't want to help you. ”

Cullen sighed, "But if you think about it, it's more annoying than the troublesome Oriental nasty ghosts, or the liars who plagiarize other people's research results and trample the dignity of musicians under their feet." ”

He patted Ye Qingxuan's shoulder and said no more. Turn and leave.

In the same place, Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, and then carried the satchel, box and suitcase again. This time it's a lot heavier, and these things are really heavy and diaphragm.

But for some reason, he felt. I'm in a much better mood.

I couldn't help but smile and smile.

In the Silent Academy, he walked silently, and the students passed by him, always standing where they were, watching him fade away.

Until his figure gradually disappeared into the mist.

In the mist there was a faint humming tune, hoarse and long—

It wasn't until he arrived at the Sword Fence Dungeon that Ye Qingxuan put the large pile of things in his hand at the door of the library, feeling that his whole body was about to fall apart.

No way, since he was a child, physical work has never been his forte, let alone moving things, even if he runs a few kilometers, he will feel out of breath.

Because of this, he was despised by Bai Xi I don't know how many times.

In the empty library, there was a faint wind blowing, and there was a disgruntled hum in the wind.

"Help me collect this pile of things first, and I'll get it when I come out in the evening." The boy smiled embarrassedly at the air in front of him:

"Sorry not to be here for so long. I'll come back to play marbles with you when I'm free. ”

The cold snort in the wind seemed to be satisfied, and an invisible force tugged at the boxes and satchels on the ground, moving them into the shadows and vanishing.

"You came a little later than I expected. ”

After Dominic, the gatekeeper who hadn't seen him for a long time, saw him, he pointed to the stairs behind him: "The alchemist invited by the headmaster is already impatient, I hope you have a better excuse." ”

"Uh, sorry. Something went wrong on the way. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly climbed the stairs.

There seemed to be a road waiting in the dark, and in the darkness, the stairs moved faintly, and after advancing for an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingxuan's footsteps stopped in front of the old door.

He could feel his skin tighten as if it were overpowered, and in his perception, there seemed to be a sea of burning light behind the door, and the blazing light almost crushed the human sense.

It's like a giant whirlpool, in which a massive amount of aether works, sleeping silently. It fluctuates with a soft melody and creates faint ripples.

This is one of the great sources of the entire Requiem enchantment, the place where the 'Mercy' movement is recited.

- The Cave of Sleep.

And just behind the door, in the brilliant silver light, the blonde boy sitting cross-legged smiled at Ye Qingxuan, who was stunned:

"Yo, little ghost, you've made me wait a long time. (To be continued......)
