"I took the school's admissions exam, and there were black cats to guide me to the exams...... Are these two things real, or are they just dreams?"

"It's real, it's a dream. This is not a conflict. ”

"Which one came first and which one came last? Did I guide myself to become a wizard, or did I become a wizard and then turn around and 'cross' myself?"

"Time is linear, but life is not. To this question, Mr. Wang's answer was a little vague, and he did not give Zheng Qing the most direct answer: "Life is always full of disagreements, cycles, and paradoxes. Looking at the world beyond the constraints of dimensions, it is difficult for us to confirm which timeline history is true...... Because they're all the same true. ”

Zheng Qing pondered his words hard.

Then he asked the last question, and one of his greatest concerns: "My life...... Was it planned?"

"It depends on how you define 'planning'," Mr. replied softly, looking him in the eyes seriously: "A life without planning can only be called living, and a life with a plan is life." As I just said, life is full of divergent paths, and without a certain plan, stepping on the wrong path is a sad thing for anyone. ”

"You will be like walking in the endless desert, thirsty and hungry, and you will reach out your hands but you can only hold the wind and sand. ”

"If you're just worried about your life being 'dominated' or 'controlled' by someone else, you can rest assured. No, I didn't mean to comfort you. I just want to tell you that 99.99% of the people in this world have been dominated by others all their lives. It's not something terrible. ”

"It's scary that you're being dominated and not knowing it...... At this point, you are already much better than most people. ”

"If you really master the power of forbidden spells, then you can do even better. Because at that time, you will understand the meaning of domination, and you will know what a heavy burden it is to control your own destiny. ”

This is the end of the conversation between Zheng Qing and Mr.

These words were enough for the young wizard to think about for a long time. Of course, the main reason for the interruption of the conversation was that Huang Huaci, who had gone to pick up people from school, had returned, and he had returned to the bookstore with Jiang Yu through the 'grandfather clock' temporarily approved by the school.

"It's a mess in the school right now. Huang Huaci briskly crossed the barriers of bookshelves and tables and chairs, jumped onto the desk, skillfully picked up Mr.'s teacup, licked a few sips of tea, and then complained: "There are constant conflicts between students and Alpha, and the school working committee is seriously understaffed...... It was just a makeshift 'grandfather clock' that made me wait for half an hour!"

The gentleman ignored the yellow civet's complaints.

He lifted his glasses, his eyes fell on a witch who followed the cat into the bookstore, and nodded very friendly: "Classmate Jiang Yu, thank you for your visit." ”

As he spoke, the lights in the store suddenly became much brighter, and Zheng Qing finally saw his friend again.

Compared with the last time they met, Jiang Yu's face was much better at the moment.

It's just still a little pale.

"It doesn't matter. The witch nodded briefly at the bookstore owner, then turned her gaze to the young public-funded student.

Zheng Qing also looked at her seriously at the same time.

She wears a dark red rabbit fur chain-trimmed wide-brimmed hat on her head, a beige trench coat, a white shirt and black wide-legged pants, black witch shoes on her feet, a women's bag in her hand, the original consumed jade on the five-colored silk silk on her wrist has been replenished, and a new jade pendant hangs from her belt.

From parting to seeing each other again, only half a day has passed, but for Zheng Qing, it has been a long and arduous journey. This joy is difficult to describe in words.

He couldn't help but take a step forward excitedly, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hug the witch, but immediately realized that his actions were a bit 'out of line', and he immediately froze in place, and his raised arm was not retracted or extended.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu was more courageous.

She took a few steps, hugged the outstretched wizard, patted him lightly on the back, paused for a moment, and then took a step back, revealing a slightly flushed face:

"Long time no see. ”

The voice was very calm, as if he had just said hello to his classmates.

The delicate fragrance of the witch and the feeling of her caressing her back made the boy stiffen a lot from head to toe.

"Long time no see. He replied dryly, but his face surprisingly did not feel hot, only a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Poof," there was the sound of the yellow civet snorting not far away, and then Zheng Qing heard its whisper: "From morning to night, it hasn't been twelve hours...... Where did you come from, long time no see?"

This sentence made the young witches and wizards, who were already calm, immediately embarrassed.

"If you don't see each other, you will have an autumn and a half in half a day, which can be counted as a long time. The gentleman made a joke next to him, then skipped the topic and looked at the witch:

"It's not polite to keep guests waiting. Before that, I think Jiang Yu may still be a little confused about why she came here. ”

Zheng Qing nodded vigorously instead of Jiang Yu.

Any topic is fine, as long as you can get rid of the awkward atmosphere in front of you.

Before I get to that point, let me briefly describe the situation you are facing. The gentleman stood up, walked around the two young wizards, and walked between the two tall bookshelves.

His voice came from behind the bookshelf, very clearly:

"Earlier today, you conducted an illegal magical experiment in a newly born secret realm in the Silent Forest, misleading the arrival of two outer gods. ”

"Luckily you're still alive. ”

"Unfortunately, Elena Jones was forced to make a huge sacrifice. At the most critical moment of the battle, in order to stop Satogua, Lady Jones sacrificed herself to a long-dormant moon god in the depths of the starry sky. ”

Jiang Yu bit her lip, and her face became a little paler.

The joy that had just surged out of Zheng Qing's heart a moment ago also disappeared again under Mr.'s cruel description.

“...... If you want to rescue the trapped Elena Jones, then you need to work together. At this point, the gentleman had come back from behind the bookshelf, holding a brown leather scroll of a short length in his hand.

"What do you need us to do?" Jiang Yu asked directly.

"Be a witness. The gentleman smiled slightly, raised the scroll in his hand, and walked between the young witches and wizards: "Elena-san is now in a very delicate state, between life and death. To pull her back from that state, we need to build a solid anchor point. ”

"You are the witnesses to this anchor. ”
