Chapter 300: The Bell Tower
This time, as if she understood, the woman nodded her head at once, muttering something without knowing what was in her mouth. Wood didn't hear clearly, just looked in the direction of her finger.
The woman was referring to a bell tower not far ahead, which looked to be some years old. The walls above were already mottled, and even so, the bell tower made a lasting impression on Wood.
There is a large clock on the bell tower, and the clocks are facing in all directions, there are four of them. No matter where you are in the wizarding world, you will be able to clearly see the numbers pointed by the pointer above.
It's the wizarding world, a place like home, a place where you can always remember when you came home.
Now, it's ruined......
The home that his mother and grandfather had once guarded with their lives were now affected by themselves, and Wood only felt that a certain place in his heart had been stabbed hard.
Wood walked towards the bell tower, with only the leader of the Serpent Clan following alone.
Brooke was on the top floor of this bell tower at this time, a place where the whole magical world could be seen.
Going up the stairs one by one, Wood eventually saw Headmaster Brooke tied to a mast.
The moment he saw Wood, Wood couldn't understand what the expression on Brooke's face meant at that time. It's just that Wood feels very guilty, and now that the wizarding world has become like this, Wood is very upset.
"Child, what should come will come, none of this is caused by you alone. This is all their own fault, and they all deserve the end. In fact, all this should have happened when your mother came back. But your mother couldn't bear it, so she postponed it until now. It's just that such a change has made you suffer pain that you shouldn't have to bear. Principal Brooke said with a smile.
His tone was still so kind, still so gentle, without the slightest hint of complaining about Wood.
Seeing Wood's puzzled eyes, Brooke didn't care about his mood, but instead focused on the leader of the snake people behind Wood.
The leader of the snake clan also bowed slightly, as if he had seen an old acquaintance who had not been seen for a long time.
"You're still here, but your appearance hasn't changed at all, and I'm too old to recognize me, right?" said Brooke, putting away the smile on his face.
"Yes, you are indeed a lot older than before, if you don't listen...... According to my master, I really didn't associate you with the previous person just now. The leader of the snake clan said.
"You knew each other before?" Hearing the two of them talk to themselves, Wood looked at Headmaster Brooke suspiciously.
"Yes, that was a long time ago. When I was young, well, very young. At that time, I felt that I was already a very powerful person, and I always wanted to leave here and see the outside world. So, then I really left and went to a very bad place. There, I experienced something I will never forget in my life, and I almost couldn't come back because of it.
I was injured, and it was very bad, and the climate was really bad. I've never had weather like that. Brooke recalls that the bad weather seemed to really impress him, and now that he thinks about it, he can still see a look of fear on his face.
"That kind of weather, for us snake people, is ordinary. But for you, it is unbearable and even life-threatening. The leader of the snake clan said, and only then did he speak in a slightly soft tone.
"Yes, that kind of weather is really nothing to you, but I almost lost my precious life in that environment. It was you, who came forward to save me at that time, and also gave me some food and medicine. That's how I have a chance to come back here. I just didn't know if my presence had caused you any trouble, or if I had put you in any trouble?" Brooke asked, an incident he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Every time he thought about it, he felt a deep remorse.
The snake people are a tribe that values personal privacy, and the reason why they live in that environment for a long time is because they want to have their own independent living space.
If an outsider intrudes into their homeland, it is a violation of their taboo, and according to the clan rules, it is to kill people and destroy their mouths.
Brooke also found out later, and it was Wood's mother, Lilia, who told him about it. Knowing the news, Brooke felt guilty all the time. I don't know if the snake man who saved him back then will really be implicated.
Later, he learned that because of some things, the entire snake people had disappeared, and he was very sad for a while.
Now that he saw the snake people who saved him standing in front of him, he finally let go of his guilt for many years.
The snake people just smiled and didn't answer Brooke's question.
Because Wood still has a lot of things to ask Brooke, after Brooke confirms that he is okay, he begins to worry about Wood's affairs.
Today's magical world is completely crushed and collapsed, and the remaining people can only barely survive. If something like the last invasion of the elven kingdom happens, it will really fall from now on, and there will be no chance of turning over.
"I think the elven prince is very suspicious, I have seen it before, but he can't remember those things at all. Moreover, the way he looked at me made me feel very uncomfortable. Wood said.
"You've seen it before, but he doesn't remember those things, which is interesting. Brooke repeated.
It is said that there has always been a story among the elves, but no one has ever ever seen anything like it.
Wood told Headmaster Brooke everything about his relationship with the Elven Prince. Wood had some apprehensions before, but now those remaining concerns were gone.
After listening to Wood's words, Brooke was even more sure that this elven prince was actually no longer the elven prince he used to be. Chances are, the Elven King is no longer the Elven King he used to be.
Although there are not many people who are familiar with the Elven King, even if they are Madame, they only know some things about the Elven King. Acquaintance is not even better.
But the elf clan, if you look at the records, the reputation is still good. Although it is a little unkind, it is not yet cruel.
