Chapter Seventy-One: Taking You on a Journey
The library is on the ninth floor of the Mage Tower, and it is heavily guarded, with two tall steel golems erected at the door, and they never sleep, and they are dedicated to their duties.
Ke Mingde showed the passcode, and the protective circle opened a door, and when he entered, it was immediately closed.
The library room is filled with a special fragrance, which is the smell of the bookshelves, which is insect-proof and moth-proof, and each bookshelf is engraved with a simple magic circle to create a good environment for book collection.
In addition to books related to magic, there are also various poems, novels and other reading materials, which can be described as a sea of knowledge collected by Master Dilla.
None of this appealed to Ko Mingde, who had already scanned them and spent all his time with them during the five years he had been trapped in the kingdom of God.
Passing through row after row of bookshelves, he searched for Vera.
"Vera, Vera!" he called softly.
No one answered.
"Young man, what are you looking for Vera?"
A middle-aged man emerged from the wall and floated in front of Ke Mingde.
He is a ghost who cannot be seen with the naked eye and can only rely on the soul to communicate with him.
"Mr. Wharton, I'm looking for my mentor, Victoria, do you know where she is?"
Ke Mingde asked hurriedly.
"It's you, Newton!" the ghost Wharton recognized him, "You seem to have been gone for a long time, and your beard is so beautiful!"
Wharton the ghost has been a ghost for decades and is a bit confused and has no idea about time.
"Mr. Wharton, where is my mentor?" Her Highness Della says her soul is in the library......
"Victoria, she should be in her own room, you can find her in her room!"
Saying goodbye to Wharton, Kommad hurried down the stairs and stood at the door of Deira's room.
A layer of fine ash fell on the doorknob, this is the fourth floor of the Mage Tower, and the servants are not qualified to come here.
There was a knock on the door, but there was no response, and Ke Mingde scanned it, and the furnishings in the room were the same, but empty.
After the super printer gets a lot of energy, the scanning function is slightly enhanced, and it can scan sound and quality, but it still can't scan souls, magic and other things.
After another knock on the door, Ke Mingde released the lock picking spell and pushed the door open.
The living room was empty, and there was a faint sound of singing.
This song is not heard by the ear, but only by the soul, for it is the song of a ghost.
Ke Mingde walked through the living room and walked into Victoria's bedroom.
The curtains were drawn, the velvet bed was neatly made, a music box was placed on the small table at the head of the bed, and a figure stood aside, dancing.
"Vera ......"
Ke Mingde's voice trembled a little.
"Ahh
Victoria stopped dancing and looked at him in amazement, her body floating softly.
"You're alive! I knew you were alive!"
She reached out to caress Ko Mingde's cheek, but passed through his head.
"I thought I'd never see you again...... Ke Mingde stretched out his arms, grabbing only a cloud of air.
The two stared at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"You...... Dancing?"
"After becoming a ghost, it's so hard, I always have to have some fun for myself, sometimes I read for a while, sometimes I learn to dance, I didn't learn to dance when I was young, don't think I'm not good at dancing!"
As she spoke, she took two steps back and danced, with a graceful waist and a delicate face, the same as five years ago.
Ke Mingde watched quietly and picked up the music box at the bedside, which he had just bought in the bazaar after passing the black-robed mage test and gave her a gift.
Screwed on the clockwork, the music box is a little rusty, and the sound is messy and unpleasant.
"Did it ring? I danced to the beat of this tune every time, but I couldn't string it, I couldn't hear it, I had forgotten a little bit......
Ke Mingde listened, tears streaming down his eyes involuntarily.
Ghosts can't affect matter, they can't taste, they can't smell, they can't hear, it's hard to imagine what kind of pain it is.
"Why are you crying? What did I say wrong?"
Victoria drifted up to Ko Mingde in a panic, trying to wipe away his tears.
"It's nothing, I'm just so happy, it's been too long since I've seen you!"
He swallowed, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and with a lift of his hand, he released a repair technique, and the sound of the music box became clear and crisp.
"I'll sing to you, you dance!"
"Yes!" Victoria said happily, dancing to the voice of Kommind.
Communication with the ghosts is not by sound, but by thought, and Ko Mingde listens to the sound of the music box and transmits this music to Victoria in its entirety.
"I'll resurrect you!" said Ke Mingde suddenly.
"The dead cannot be raised, and no one can raise the dead except the gods. Victoria stopped dancing: "I'm already happy that you can come to see me often." ”
"I will definitely bring you back to life, and I will become a god for you!" Ke Mingde's voice was low and determined.
Thor got a meteorite and later became a god, and now that mysterious meteorite is in his hands, he can't compare to him!
"No! never!" Victoria seemed to think of something, and said anxiously, "Promise me not to believe in evil gods." ”
Since the magic cataclysm and the fall of the gods, there is only one god active in the world, and she worries that Ke Mingde will be haunted by the evil god again in order to resurrect him.
"We have an enmity with the Cult of the Evil God, how can we believe in Him?"
"Don't go to them for revenge, the Demon Dye Mage is very powerful, and besides, Teacher Dhila has already killed those two mages and avenged us!" Victoria's tone was full of worry, fearing that he would be hurt again in order to get revenge.
"I'm measured. Ke Mingde comforted: "By the way, what is the matter with that dragon? I heard that His Highness Dilla was going to kill it, but unfortunately it failed. ”
"At that time, my soul was in the dragon's lair, and when I saw that battle, the dragon's brain seemed to have a problem, it was very chaotic, and it could only spit dragon breath, but the magic resistance was extremely high, and the teacher's spell could hardly hurt it, but was injured by it, and left with my soul......"
Victoria speaks.
"The teacher injured the dragon with the eternal fire, I don't know what's going on, but its brain has become a little better, like a dog, with the most basic intelligence, later, the city lord didn't know how to learn the news, subdued the dragon, raised it in the north of Neverwinter City, and specially built a nest for it......"
"How can this be? doesn't the city lord know that this dragon has a grudge against our Eternal White Tower?"
"You know, the city lord is a red-robed mage, the strongest in Neverwinter City, not to mention that he gave the teacher two liters of dragon blood as compensation. ”
Victoria looked very open: "You don't always think about revenge all day long, let the past pass, and live well is the most important thing." ”
The two complained to each other and chatted for a long time.
"Huh, is this your pet? Is it a bear?"
Only then did Victoria find Thor lying at Kommind's feet, holding a nut to nibble on, and after a long day's effort, it was about to bite through the shell.
Ke Mingde picked it up, put it on his lap, and crushed the nut with his hand.
"It's called Thor, I thought it was a dog, who knew it would grow into a panda!"
When Victoria saw that it looked cute and stupid, she liked it very much, and reached out to touch it.
Thor took a step on Kommid's lap, just in time to dodge Victoria's hand.
"Huh?"
Victoria put her hand on its round head, and Thor turned his head away, baring his teeth at her, a growl in his throat.
"She can see me!" Victoria was amazed, reaching out her hands to touch Thor's black ears.
"Wow~Wow!"
Thor was very angry, and when the nut was finally opened by Ko Mingde, someone came to disturb it to enjoy the delicacy, and opened his mouth, revealing the short teeth that had only been growing for a few days, and pounced on Victoria, but he pounced and rolled to the ground.
"Whew!" it looked at Kommad with pitiful eyes. Grab your trouser legs and climb up.
"It can really see me!"
Ke Mingde was also surprised, since Thor's birth, except for having a portable space, there is nothing special, not even a magical beast, and his intelligence is only the same as that of a two- or three-year-old child, at this time he actually showed the ability to see the soul.
"She's not a stranger, remember!"
Kommad grabbed the flesh from Thor's neck and lifted it up to Victoria.
"Vera, there's something I didn't tell you. ”
Kommin threw Thor on the bed, his eyes fixed on Victoria.
"I'm not from this world, I came to this world through a plane portal, I'm leaving, I want to take you with me, are you willing to leave with me?"
His lips didn't move, and he told her the message with his mind.
"Ahh
"Will you leave with me?"
Ke Mingde asked again, and Victoria was silent for a while, and his heart gradually became a little cold.
"My parents passed away at an early age, and Mentor Dhila cherished my magical talent and adopted me as a disciple, and I always dreamed of becoming a white-robed mage, serving the Eternal White Tower, and repaying my mentor's kindness...... Unfortunately, I'm just a ghost now, and I can't do anything. ”
She looked at Ke Mingde with a pair of clear eyes: "Now, I am also going to pursue my own happiness, I will go with you, I will not disturb your life, as long as you can talk to me, I, I will look at the outside world......"
As she spoke, her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head.
"But how can I leave with you? My soul now resides in a wooden statue of the Spirit Dwelling, and it is inconvenient to carry it. ”
"I've heard that the Star Soul Diamond is the best abode for souls, I'll find one, make it into a necklace, and take you with me wherever I go!"
Ke Mingde was excited when he heard him agree, and the love words came from the bottom of his heart and blurted out.
