Chapter 46: The Hangman

The tarot cards are arranged in an arc on the large table, and the intricate lines are intertwined to make it dizzying.

The Gypsy Witch was straight, her fingertips sliding gently over the different cards, but she never decided which one to pick. This indecision caused the observers on the side to lose their patience.

"I just need a good omen, just pick a random one and mess it around in front of me, do you need to be so troublesome?" Colmar stared helplessly at the gypsy witch's actions.

"Divination is the sorcerer plucking the strings of fate. Yelena's voice was a little hollow, like a fog floating in the night, which was elusive: "Charming and beautiful, but you also need to be careful of your hands being scratched." ”

Colmar slammed his head on the table.

"Uh," she groaned in pain, burying her head in the crook of her arm, "that's why I've never gotten a high score in my divination exam...... I'll never be able to be as foolish as you. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Yelena's finger instantly clicked on a certain tower card.

Then she flipped it up and read it silently.

Colmar didn't see the gypsy witch move, but still hid her head in the crook of her arm, muttering and grumbling. From the high proportion of subjective questions in the divination exam, to the fact that she may lose her scholarship if she can't get the first place in the final exam this time, to the fact that without the scholarship, she may follow the forest collection team in the North District to earn some extra money, and it is very likely that she will be swallowed up by the sudden black tide and become a lonely ghost, etc., like a noisy bee.

The gypsy witch finally couldn't help it and interrupted the complaining of the owner of the Gini hut: "There may be a black current in the Silent Forest this time, the school can't be unprepared for this! You are the vice president of the student union of the First University, you should know the relevant regulations." ”

Colma's head suddenly lifted from the crook of her arm.

"Preparation? Naturally, there is preparation, but the preparation is all for the school. A sneering smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her tone was very unkind: "As for Beta...... What is Beta? This community of wizards is just a small patch of moss growing in the shadow of the school walls. ”

"It's winter, the moss is dry, the fire is blazing, and it's black. ”

"But after spring, with just a few drops of rain from the sky and a little fertilizer from behind the walls, the mosses will soon grow again, and they will grow more luxuriantly than before. ”

"Beta is just a small patch of moss, but what about the North End? All the school's arrangements are just to protect that huge fortress...... In fact, they only need to protect that fortress too. ”

Elena reached out and pressed her hand against the back of Colma's hand, soothing her slightly agitated feelings.

The owner of the Gini hut quickly took control of his mind and regained his composure.

Then Elena spoke again and asked, "Then how did you know that the monsters in the forest would rush out and threaten the safety of the school, or the town of Beta? You are not good at divination, and besides, if I am not mistaken, you are not responsible for communicating with the monitoring department of the campus guardian formation in the student union......

"The attention of the school guardian formation is on the campus, not outside the school. Colmar interrupted Yelena and shook her head, "I didn't know about it through school. ”

She turned her head and looked through the closed window at the small courtyard where the cherry blossoms were falling, and at the sparsely populated streets.

"This is the North Zone," her voice became much lower, "this is the place with the largest number of people entering the Silent Forest on the entire Phuket Island...... That forest has swallowed up too many of our relatives and friends. No one is more sensitive to it than we are. ”

Speaking of this, she forced a smile and blinked: "After all, it is never those high-ranking wizards who enter the Silent Forest every day to collect materials, but those magicians who have nothing to do. We have to be sensitive to this. ”

Elena notices that Colmar has always treated her as one and the same as the Trickster.

This made her feel heavy and inexplicably a little more relaxed and warm.

But this little bit of relaxation and warmth did not stop the atmosphere of the conversation from falling silent.

The orange-red light was dim, and it fell on the Gypsy witch's long burgundy hair, giving her a beautiful glaze, and in the glass, adding a touch of golden amber light.

The gypsy witch rubbed the tarot card in her hand and organized her words in her heart.

On the card, it depicts a warrior hanging upside down with his hands tied behind his back. Her expression was serene, and her head was surrounded by a golden halo of angels.

On the positive side, the card sends a message of acceptance of the test, of the courage to be brave, to learn from failure, and to succeed, but on the other hand, it also means bad luck, a lack of patience and loss in their goals.

By any measure, this is not the best card.

Elena prefers to get herself a chariot of victory, or a priestess of wisdomβ€”even an ambiguous wheel of fortune is much better than an upside-down hangman who is destined to be sacrificed.

"There was once a very powerful hunting leader who said that when people realize that they are part of a great cause, they can always overcome all difficulties. A hunter with such a belief can change the whole world. Yelena quietly looked at the witch opposite and said softly, "We are such a team. ”

Colmar casually tilted the bottle, the contents of which formed a thin line and fell into the glass on the bar.

Soon half a glass of amber light was filled.

Colmar then quickly put the bottle away and let out a sigh of relief, as if the simple act of pouring the wine had taken a lot of her strength.

"Such a small glass of wine is five golden beans, and it is a great sin to waste a drop. The people of the North District don't have such a wasteful habit. She looked up and smiled brightly at Yelena: "As for us...... I don't have any intention of changing the world, I just want to help my friends regain their ability to perform magic. ”

"It doesn't make a difference. Elena picked up the glass in her hand and raised it to Colma: "Happy cooperation." ”

"Happy cooperation!" Colma briskly touched the wine glass with the gypsy witch, took a sip of amber light, and sighed contentedly, and then she squeezed her eyebrows and leaned towards Yelena: "Anyway, Zheng Qing's kid, have you ever done it? Is he still a child? I cheated just now, but I didn't completely cheat it, eh......"

Two blushes flew up on Yelena's face, and the wine glass in her hand slammed on the table:

"The rain girl has no melon!"
