043: Late Summer
Strange to say, everything in front of him was deformed in Roshi's eyes at this time, but this pocket watch still maintained its original appearance.
Looking at the smoke that was getting thicker and thicker, Rohi's heart was on fire, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the operation of the pocket watch, so he could only watch the hands move faster and faster.
And with the turn of the pointer, everything in the world became more and more distorted, originally just some amplitude fluctuations, Roch could barely distinguish what was in front of him, but now it has become like a stirred oil painting, everything merges together.
"Ding!"
Just when Rohi's face turned pale and he was in a cold sweat, a crisp sound of 'ding' sounded in Roxi's ears, which came from this pocket watch.
At the same time, the pocket watch, which was running at high speed, suddenly stopped, and instead of being a pocket watch, the world of oil painting that had been stirred up seemed to stop at this moment, whether it was space or time.
Then.
"Tick Tick Tick!~"
After a brief pause, the cramped ticking sound rang out again in Roshi's ears, and the previously stopped pocket watch resumed its previous high speed, this time with a counterclockwise rotation of the hands.
Time... I don't know how long it has been, it seems like a century, and it seems like a momentary thing.
The amplitude of the distortion and fluctuation of the things he saw gradually decreased, until he stopped completely, and everything returned to its original state, and even everything that happened before was mistaken by Roch for an illusion.
"What's going on?"
Roshi was stunned.
He looked around, opened the window and looked out in the distance, and finally confirmed that everything was back to its original state.
He quickly moved his gaze back to the pocket watch.
At this time, there was still some faint smoke pouring out of the gap in the pocket watch, witnessing that everything that happened before was not an illusion.
Roshi then picked up the watch and shook it for a while, until he was relieved to confirm that it was not damaged and that all the functions it should have were still there.
"Whew!"
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Roshi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, got a glass of water from the side, and drank it in one gulp.
The importance of the pocket watch to him is self-evident, it can be said that this pocket watch is already the capital he relies on for a living, if something goes wrong with this thing, then he really has no chance to cry.
It's just too reckless... It seems that you will have to be careful when you put things in it in the future... It's just that... How can you avoid this kind of unexpected situation without warning and preparation?
Shook his head.
In the end, it's still a shallow knowledge, and he still doesn't understand a lot in the wizarding world, and he doesn't even know what this pocket watch is, or he still has to read books...
Thinking about it like this, Roshi put his spiritual tentacles into the space and took out the Void Eye, he didn't dare to continue this research, at least until he fully understood why the Void Eye had made such a change to this pocket watch, it was better to touch it less.
"Huh?"
He was about to put away the Void Eye, but when the eyeball fell into his hand, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
It seems that the eyeballs have become different from before.
He picked up the Void Eye and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look, but the result surprised him, in the center of the eyeball, the originally spread pupils had now merged back into one to form a complete pattern—
This is a six-pointed star!
Summer is getting deeper.
The air is getting hotter and hotter, and the hot summer breeze is like a small flame burning in the air, burning every corner of the earth with the breeze.
The sound of the green foliage blowing in the summer breeze is often heard, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, which is the music that Roshi hears the most in this summer.
The window of the Roshi Library is facing the college square, and every day you can always see pairs of students stepping on the beat, practicing their dance on the bluestone floor.
Although the academy has a special dance floor, it is currently being closed to the public in preparation for the evening party at the end of the summer.
So it became a place for them to practice.
He admired the students.
In the summer when it is so hot that people just want to stick out their tongues and soak in the pool with only their mouths open, they can still continue to practice dance lessons.
Boys don't need a thin shirt, but girls basically have to wear skirts, some of them are also wearing that kind of rococo classical long skirts, except for a circle of the neck part is exposed, the rest of the part is covered under the thick skirt, and the lower part is a big skirt, which makes people dizzy when they look at it, and it is also quite hard.
The pace of life in this world is very slow, and they hold a grand celebration in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter every year.
The kingdom of Prussia has grown in strength over the years, and the threat of war is reduced, and the living standards of ordinary people have also improved, while cities like Eiffel City are relatively stable.
On this day, Christina said, people spread out long tables in the square, covered with white tablecloths, and placed all kinds of fine food and barrels of fine wine on them, and drank all night to release the tiredness that had accumulated for months.
The Eiffel Academy is a bridge between the aristocracy and the commoners, with its spacious buildings and manicured gardens, which makes it a natural place for every festival.
And for these students, it's a chance for them to show their faces in front of everyone, and the person who looks the best at every festival dance is always the talk of the town.
Because of this, even in the sun, these students were able to keep practicing, in order to become the most striking brilliance on that day.
But not everyone makes it to the end.
The air has been getting hotter and hotter these days, and Reloshi feels more like a pug than a human, and has to use magic to make ice cubes to cool down, and there are far fewer students dancing below.
In the days before the festival began, there was only one girl left in the square who was still persevering, and coincidentally, this girl was the Christina that Roshi knew.
Every day, I dragged the skirt around the square, and gently shouted the beat in my mouth to practice, and every action was repeated over and over again, very seriously.
When Roshi was tired of studying, he would look out the window, and he would always see her, and occasionally, he would say hello to her or make a joke.
Time just flows by bit by bit.
On this day, Roshi was reading a book, and suddenly there was a sound of clattering footsteps in the corridor outside, and when he looked up, he just saw Christina walking over.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Roshi. She lifted the sides of her skirt and saluted Rohi politely.
"Good afternoon, Miss Christina. Roshi smiled and nodded.
Christina stepped forward, her eyebrows curled slightly: "There is something I want to discuss with you, and I hope to ask for your consent." ”
"Uh-huh?" Roshi said in surprise
