Chapter Eighty-Eight: Small-scale Rumors
After the scene just now, Xiu was almost scared half to death.
However, he also admired himself very much, and he would rush up to block the monster's vision so desperately. Thinking back to the scene now, it really makes Xiu feel very afraid: if that monster suddenly spits fire at him or something, he will be completely finished;
Maureen looked at the monster's corpse repeatedly. His eyes flickered, and his whole person was in a very silent and absent-minded state;
Rand was still a little shocked, after all, he was the closest person to the monster at that time, and he was the one who was directly attacked, so it was understandable that he was behaving like this now;
Roland felt weak and had back pain, and at the same time he was thinking about whether this accident was the same as the previous two times, and it was also aimed at Rand. For Roland, the palpitations had not gone away, and he suddenly had a feeling of exhaustion, which was not what he wanted......
At this time, Gray suddenly said to Roland: "I didn't think you still have special abilities!"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone couldn't help but start to recall a scene from the previous scene: Roland, who was in a hurry, didn't use a magic weapon, so he directly cast a spell to knock down the monster!
Everyone's emotions were still quite excited just now, so their attention was immersed in the thrill of the scene just now. But when everyone calmed down, it was not difficult to remember that there were some unreasonable things in the previous incident!
And Roland's behavior just now is obviously this "unreasonable" existence. And in this world, irrationality often means ugliness and destruction.
So everyone who witnessed the scene just now and knew Roland's secret didn't know what to say for a while. However, everyone also instantly understood the real reason why Roland didn't like to cast spells on weekdays.
In this case, the calmest one is Lin.
He looked at Rand's now complicated and tangled expression, and said, "It seems that Roland's matter, Rand, you already knew about it before. But that's fine, it's just between the two of you, and it has nothing to do with us outsiders. Since you don't care, then what I see and hear today, I will only treat it as if I didn't see it. ”
When several other people heard Lin say this, they naturally reacted, so they also expressed their stance that they would act as if nothing had happened.
"But," Lin sighed, and continued, "what the others say is not something we can predict. That monster, Roland, you can say that you summoned yourself to prevaricate in the past, but your performance just now, I think there must have been other people besides our group who also saw it. Maybe tomorrow in the war school, there will be rumors about you, just like Valentine's time. And this rumor about you will obviously be even worse than the rumor of Valentine's false prophet......"
"It doesn't matter. After Roland said these few words briefly, he quickly returned to his former calm and indifference.
For Roland, there was no shortage of gossip around him, so this time, he didn't care at all.
So this turmoil has passed.
Although the War College was the same as Lin had predicted, some rumors about Roland inevitably began to appear. But because Rand usually has a good image, and Roland is Rand's courtier, these rumors only spread in a small area and did not cause any major repercussions, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
After returning to the academy, Morin reverted to the identity of a loner, and when he met others in theory class, he just sat silently in the corner and did not say a word to the others.
Sometimes, Morin would silently watch the backs of Roland and Rand in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
On this day, after the end of the War College class, Morin suddenly stopped Roland and said that he had something to talk to him about.
Roland felt a little surprised, but because it was Morin who stopped him this time, he didn't refuse Morin, who usually never said a word to anyone.
So the two walked side by side on campus with the setting sun after almost all the other students had left the war college. The shadows of the two were dragged for a long time, and that scene had a unique charm.
"What do you want to say to me?" Roland asked.
"Do you remember the monster that Rand summoned in the outer forest?" Morin whispered.
Roland was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Morin to mention the monster: Could it be that Morin knew the origin of that monster?
Roland replied, "Yes." ”
"That monster is not an ordinary creature, but ...... Demon. ”
What the?
Demon!
Although Roland had guessed many times in his heart what that monster was, he had never thought about it. If you want to say why, it's because the monster doesn't have much resemblance to the demon in the books, except that the skin is dark red.
So after hearing Morin's answer, Roland was really surprised, and then he felt a deep sense of powerlessness and fear.
What is a demon, the question is actually difficult to answer. But most people know they exist, even if they haven't seen them in person.
It is said that this is a species that lives underground and specializes in deceiving human souls, and their character is also extremely cunning and ferocious. People who have a relationship with the devil will not end well.
Roland couldn't help but recall that when he was in the tunnels of the palace, Rand had told his uncle Lear that he had been completely erased because of his involvement with demons.
And the reason why the royal family did this was because they were afraid that the people would know that the royal family had an affair with the devil, and it would shake the foundation of the Moon Country!
In history, it is true that there are high-level people who have lost their country because they have been deceived by the devil. Therefore, the choice of the Moon King Clan back then was not unfounded.
And through so many painful lessons in history, people today avoid demons. Once someone is thought to have made a deal with a demon, then he will be treated as a monster and will never be able to turn over again for the rest of his life!
It can be seen that for humans, demons are very feared and feared beings. If you get involved with the devil, it is equivalent to carrying a stigma forever, and once this situation occurs in the royal family, that kind of influence is enough to subvert a dynasty!
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but start to rejoice a little, how wise the decision he made was in the first place, he actually took the charge of summoning the demon instead of Rand!
"What? That monster is a demon!"
At this time, Xiu happened to come out of the teaching building. He was also very surprised when he heard the conversation between the two!
Although Xiu is now an undead, most of the time, he acts in physical form. So as far as Xiu is concerned, he is actually more accustomed to the human way of life, and he has never really regarded himself as an undead.
But Xiu's body was already an undead spirit after all, so he had to know some information related to the undead in advance.
Xiu remembered that Wu Yao had told him that the relationship between the undead and the demon races was very poor, and because both were species that lived underground, the two races would often fight for territory. Because of this, Wu Yao also asked Xiu to try to stay away when he encountered demons.
So now that Mo Lin suddenly mentioned the demon, Xiu had to care about it.
Mo Lin didn't expect Xiu to be still in the academy, and he felt a little annoyed that a second person heard his words.
However, when Mo Lin thought about it carefully, he remembered the fact that Xiu was actually an undead, not a human. Thinking of this, Morin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Morin had heard his "good friend" Summer mention it before, saying that the relationship between demons and undead was not good, so Morin felt that it didn't seem like a big deal to be overheard by an undead in their conversation. In addition, after getting along with each other several times, Mo Lin felt that Xiu's undead spirit's temper seemed to be quite good. In addition, Xiu has never been a demon by Mo Lin's side, just like an ordinary human. Therefore, Mo Lin's impression of Xiu gradually improved.
Of course, in the eyes of most ordinary humans, the undead and demons are only half a pound or two, and they can't talk about hating demons or undead even more.
