Chapter 13: The Past
The whole room is left with me, I look at the ceiling, I am very worried about Zixue, she will not come sooner or later, just come in at the moment when Teacher Zhuang's true feelings are revealed, this little girl usually looks very supple, but once she recognizes something, it is really not easy to persuade, forget it, don't think about it, I can't do anything now.
I condensed and checked the situation in my body, and found that my body was empty, and my fighting spirit was very overdrawn, and the Heavenly Demon was still better, most of them were still in their original places, let's sleep, these are not things that can be recovered by cultivation. With my worries about Zixue, I gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was in a much better spirit, and a nurse walked in, and it was Crane.
I was surprised and said, "Crane, it's you who take care of me again." ”
Crane said angrily: "It's not me, you have no conscience, you have disappeared since you left last time, go to the academy to look for you, your teacher said that you were confined, and the confinement should have come out early, but it still didn't come, hum." ”
I said embarrassedly: "No, I've been preparing for the competition because I'm going to participate in the competition, so I haven't taken the time to make it, no, I'll come as soon as the competition is over?"
Crane sneered: "Yes, yes, I came here after being beaten half to death, hurry up and eat, it was specially explained by the dean, I want to give you a good supplement, you have now become a distinguished guest of our hospital, if you hadn't taken care of you last time, it would really not be my turn." ”
Crane took the special table for the hospital and put it on the bed, and put the food on the table, it was really hearty, and a small pot was full of porridge made of unknown ingredients, as well as fruits and various pastries, and I suddenly saw my index finger move.
Crane said: "This porridge is specially prepared for you, called snow grits chicken porridge, I used snow grits and chicken to boil it for you all night, you can taste it." ”
When I drank a mouthful of porridge, I immediately drank a big bowl of porridge and said it was delicious.
Crane was satisfied with another bowl for me and said, "Eat something else, too." ”
......
All the food was swept away by me, and my stomach was so full, and I suddenly thought of something, I had to explain the matter with Zixue to Crane, Zixue is now angry with me, and I can't be caught by her anymore.
Crane finished cleaning up the dishes, sat on the edge of my bed, and said to me, "How do you feel, are you feeling better?" ”
I nodded and said, "Crane, I have something I want to tell you. ”
Crane snorted.
I said, "Do you remember the girl you saw with me in the stable?"
Crane said, "Is that the innocent and beautiful girl?"
I nodded.
Crane seemed to have a premonition of something, and said indifferently: "What's wrong with her." ”
I sighed and mustered up the courage to say, "She's my girlfriend now." ”
Crane's originally red little face turned white, and he stared at me for a long time before he said, "When did you start?"
I didn't answer her question and said, "I'm sorry, Crane, I already have her, I know you're good to me, but ......"
Crane stood up and said, "Who wants to do anything with you, don't be amorous, you rest, I'm out, something calls me." She tried to control her steps, calmly walked out of the room, and as soon as she went out, she leaned against the wall, tears streaming uncontrollably.
I was half-sitting on the bed, and my heart was also very uncomfortable, I broke the hearts of two girls in just two days, maybe, I shouldn't have touched feelings.
Crane still brought me food and medicine, and also took care of my daily life, but her attitude was much colder, and she rarely spoke to me, but she took very good care of me, and still stewed me that delicious chicken porridge with snow grits every day, and my heart was full of guilt. But I know that I must not be soft-hearted now, otherwise I don't know what the outcome will be.
On the day of discharge, Crane did not come, and a colleague of hers brought me a letter for her, which was very simple, just three words, and it was written - I hate you. Love is so responsible, Crane I'm sorry for you. I didn't say anything and went straight out of the hospital.
Crane was lying on the second-floor window watching my departing back, already crying.
I didn't go back to the academy, but went straight to the Duke's Palace, I had to explain to Zixue that I had already hurt Crane, so I must not let Zixue get hurt.
I asked the servant to pass it on to me, and after a while, the servant came out and said to me, "The second lady said that she doesn't want to see you, so please go back." ”
I said, "Please help me pass it on again, and say that I have something very important to say to her." ”
The servant said, "No, the second lady said, no matter what you say, she doesn't want to hear it." ”
It seems that Zixue is really angry with me, what can I do.
Zi Yan's figure suddenly appeared in my sight, and she said coldly: "Lei Xiang, you still dare to come to my house to find my sister." I'll kill you. An arrow of light shot at me, I hurriedly dodged, and Zi Yan was about to continue to move, when the Duke walked out of it and said, "What's going on, why is it so noisy." Hey, Lei Xiang, it's you kid, I'm about to settle accounts with you. ”
Dizzy, they all came to me to settle accounts, what did I do wrong.
I said respectfully, "Lord Duke, I'm here to explain the misunderstanding. ”
Zi Yan said angrily: "What else is there to explain, I was caught by my sister, you go and fool around with that shameless teacher." ”
My face sank and I said, "You speak politely, who is shameless, I don't allow you to insult my teacher." ”
Zi Yan said: "Am I wrong? She is just shameless and seduces her students." ”
I said angrily, "You ......"
The duke said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense with him, come on, take it for me." Before his words fell, four black shadows immediately flew out, and at first glance they were guards or something, and none of them were under me, this time it was troublesome, not only did he not explain, but he had to fight first.
The four guards quickly surrounded me, and their kung fu was very solid, forcing me to be busy coping, and if it wasn't for the super strong defense, I am afraid I would not have been able to hold out for a few times.
I flipped on my side, dodging an attack from one of the guards, and with a thud, a blue light fell out of my bosom with a crisp thud.
The duke's whole body shook and shouted, "Stop." ”
The four guards dodged away, leaving me alone. The Duke waved his hand and took a picture of what I had dropped, ah, it was the bell that my mother had given me, and the Duke murmured, "It's it, it's it, that's it." You, where did you get this thing? He was a little incoherent with excitement.
I said, "Can you let me explain the matter of Zixue first, and give me back this bell first." ”
The duke hurriedly said: "You tell me about this first, Zixue's business is wrapped up in me, you come with me." Zi Yan, you all go down first. ”
The Duke hurriedly dragged me around the house, and after a while I came to a room full of bookcases, which must have been his study.
As soon as he entered the study, the Duke closed the door tightly and asked urgently, "Tell me quickly, where did you get this thing?" ”
My heart moved, and I said, "I used to protect merchants to do business in the Orc Country, and I met an old woman for me by chance, and she asked me to give this bell to a person named Lin Feng in the Empire. ”
The duke grabbed my shoulder and said excitedly: "I, I am Lin Feng, tell me what else she said." ”
I frowned and said, "You tap." "I didn't expect my mother to ask me to find the Duke, what a coincidence.
The duke relaxed his hands, his face was full of expectation, I made up my mind and said, "The woman also said, let me tell Lin Feng, that is, you, Lingling is sorry for him." ”
The duke's whole body trembled violently, and he unconsciously shed drops of tears. Let the sharp edge of the bell cut through his palm. Suddenly, the Duke grabbed my arms tightly and hissed, "Tell me where she is now, and I'm going to look for her." ”
I shook my head and said, "When I saw her, she was already very weak, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer, I wanted to bring her back to the dragon god, but she said she didn't have the face to come back, so she ran away." ”
The duke shook his head and said, "Why is she reluctant to come back, since I knew that she was missing, I have been looking for her for nearly 20 years, Lingling, why, no matter what you have become, as long as you can come back, I will accept you." "Hearing the Duke say this, he and his mother are not a pair of lovers.
I asked, "What's wrong with you, do you have anything to do with which woman?"
The duke's eyes were red, he sighed, and said, "Back then, I was also a commoner, do you know?"
I was surprised and said, "It turns out that you are also from a civilian background. ”
The Duke nodded, and continued: "My name is Lin Feng, I have loved to learn literature and martial arts since I was a child, my father saw that I was very motivated, so he broke the family for me to go to school, looking at my father, who was much older than ordinary people, I secretly swore that I must make extraordinary achievements to repay his old man's love." ”
The duke seemed to have returned to his youth, and when he said this, he couldn't help but have a look of yearning on his face.
"I have to put in more effort than others in the process of studying, I have a smart mind in my own right, and coupled with hard work, I started to show my strength in Yanjing when I was 17 years old. In order to further my studies, I used the money I earned from my part-time job and my own skills to be successfully admitted to Tiandu College. I practiced hard in the academy, and it was at that time that I met Lingling, who was two realms younger than me. At the time, I thought she was just an ordinary aristocratic woman. I'm not afraid of your jokes, the first time I saw her, I had a strong feeling of electric shock. I finally had something in my life that deserved my attention beyond money and power. At first, I only dared to watch her silently from the sidelines, but as time went by, her smile touched my heart, and by chance, I finally talked to her for the first time, and since then, I have been even more unable to extricate myself from falling in love with Lingling. Lingling is so gentle and kind. On the eve of her graduation, she finally accepted my love, and I was ecstatic, as I was already a minor official in the imperial court at that time. I wanted to marry her as soon as possible, but since then, I have lost her trace, and later, I was told that she was lost when she accompanied His Majesty to participate in the general battle with the Warcraft Alliance, and she turned out to be the sixth princess of the emperor's favorite, and this bell was the object of love I gave her at the beginning. ”
Listening to my mother's old flame talk about their past, I had a very strange feeling in my heart.
The Duke wiped away his tears and looked at the blue bell with obsession.
I said, "Then you haven't been to the Warcraft two countries to look for her traces?"
The duke said, "How not." I disguised myself and traveled to the two countries several times, but in the end, it all ended in failure. ”
I thought that the duke was a scathing and cunning official, but I didn't expect him to also have a side of affection and surname, so I said: "What happened later, did you marry the current duchess?"
The Duke nodded and said, "Yes, although I can't forget Lingling, I still have to live, and with my brilliant mind and profound knowledge I have finally won the appreciation of a prince who is willing to marry his daughter to me, but only on the condition that she must be married." This is also the reason why Sister Ziyan does not have my surname. Are you thinking, I am a person who does not use means to achieve an end, but, do you know, I married the daughter of the prince, I can fight for thirty years less, if Lingling is still here, maybe I will give up everything and live a happy life with her, but, I have nothing to be nostalgic for, only the vows I made when I was a child, so I married the daughter of the prince, the current duchess. I got the power I wanted, and I fulfilled my vows, but have I been happy for so many years? I only feel better when I think of the time I used to be with Lingling. At the beginning, when I first met you, you said to me, if it were me, and I liked the daughter of a powerful person, would I give up? It reminded me of the past that was sealed in my heart, yes, if Lingling had not disappeared at the beginning, would His Majesty the King have married his daughter to such a small official as me? Definitely not, but with my relationship with Lingling, I will not give up either. It is because I have thought of this that I have agreed to your relationship with my daughter. ”

I sighed secretly, even if my mother could come back, she was already too old, and she was much worse than the Duchess, would the Duke still like her? Besides, mom can't come to destroy other people's families.
Thinking of this, I said, "Lord Duke, this past of yours really touched me, but the past is in the past, cherish the life in front of you." ”
The Duke nodded silently and said, "Thank you for giving me this bell, what happened to you and Zixue, I will give you a chance to explain." ”
I blushed and changed the day's events.
After hearing this, the duke said in wonder: "So that's the case, you won't lie to me." ”
I straightened my face and said, "I swear in the honor of a warrior, and if I have a false word......
The duke waved his hand to stop me from continuing, and he said: "Okay, okay, what kind of person you are, I can see it at a glance, okay, since it's a misunderstanding, you can go to Zixue and make it clear, this girl loves to drill the horns, she is sometimes very stubborn, you have to coax her more." This semester is already over, do you have any plans?"
I nodded and said, "I want to find a secluded place to practice for a while, since the battle with Riva, I have found that my strength is still far behind, and I must improve to gain a foothold here." ”
The Duke had already woken up from his grief just now, and when I said this, he showed an approving expression and said, "You are right to think so, you are just like me back then, very self-motivated, and besides, I heard that you still have a mad physique, which is very good. But there's one thing I want to ask you, do you have any goals?"
I'm in a good position, what is my goal, yes, what is my goal?
The Duke said, "Every man must have a great goal of his own, and this is the driving force for you, you know? What about you? What is your goal? ”
When I was a child, my goal was to become a peerless powerhouse, but now, do I just think so? No, this alone is not enough.
The Duke said: "Child, it is not so easy to set a goal, I hope you can think about it this holiday, if you need a quiet place to cultivate, I can provide it to you." I shook my head and said, "No, thank you, I decided to leave now, you are very right, I am very confused about my future now, and I really need to think about it." If I were here, I wouldn't be able to concentrate, because I'll always be thinking about Zixue, and it's very likely that I won't be able to control myself and go to her. ”
The duke said in surprise, "Didn't you explain to Zixue?"
I said, "No, you can help me talk to her, I'm afraid that after seeing her, I will be reluctant to leave, if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." ”
The duke smiled and said, "You can teach, okay, you can go, I hope you can improve when you come back." I'm looking forward to seeing you next time. ”
I took the necklace my mother had given me from my neck, handed it to the duke, and said, "You must know this." ”
The duke's hand trembled, he took the necklace and looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "Of course I know, this is the dowry I gave to Lingling, how can it be in your hand." ”
I sighed and said, "It was given to me by the woman as a reward for delivering the news." At this point, my mother's heart-piercing voice seemed to ring in my ears again.
The duke muttered, "She actually gave this to you, why is this, it doesn't make sense." "Of course he doesn't know, I'm actually Lingling's only son.
I said, "You give this to Zixue, even if I give her a token of love, when I become famous, I will definitely come to marry her." During the holidays, I won't be coming back, I'm going to find a place where no one is populated to practice well, you're right, I should set a goal for myself. ”
The duke said: "I am going to enter the palace to see Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty knows the news of Lingling, he will be very happy." "I'm shocked, I won't start another war between humans and Warcraft because of this. Forget it, it's beyond my control anymore, all I have to do now is improve myself as soon as possible.
After saying goodbye to the duke, I went out of the study and met Zi Yan head-on, she looked at me with a hostile face, and said, "Did Dad just let you go?"
I shrugged helplessly and said, "Then what do you want, kill me, or beat me up." ”
Zi Yan said angrily: "According to my will, I will kill you." Hum. ”
My face sank and I said, "With your temper, if you don't change it, I'm afraid no one will dare to ask you in the future." With that, I turned around and walked outside.
Zi Yan said behind my back: "You don't have to worry about getting married or not, are you leaving like this?"
I stopped and said, "I've explained everything to the Duke, just ask him." Tell Zixue for me that my feelings for her will never change. ”
After leaving the Duke's Palace, my heart is much happier, after all, I have completed the task assigned by my mother, what are I going to do now, go back to the academy, didn't Teacher Zhuang ask me to go to her?
The college was no longer noisy, and the campus was quiet, so I walked to Mr. Zhuang's office and knocked on the door gently. Teacher Zhuang's voice came from inside: "Who is it? ”
I pushed the door and walked into Teacher Zhuang's office, she seemed to be reading a book, and she looked quite leisurely.
"It's you, Lei Xiang, come on, have you recovered?"
I nodded and said, "It's all recovered." ”
Teacher Zhuang smiled and said, "That's good, you did too well in the challenge with Riva this time. ”
I smiled wryly, "What's so good? No, I still lost, and I didn't have any power to fight back." ”
Teacher Zhuang said: "How can it be? Although you were at a disadvantage at first, but then after you went berserk, you caused a lot of trouble for Riva, so that all the guys who used to talk about it in the grade competition shut up, and they also fought for the teacher. ”
Teacher Zhuang stood up, stepped aside, and poured me a glass of water. I took the water glass, sighed, and said, "I am able to fight with him with my special physique, and with my current strength, it is still too far from Riva." ”
Teacher Zhuang comforted me and said: "It's okay, he is four or five years older than you, and he has four or five years to go, don't you have the confidence to catch up with him? ”
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can beat him." ”
Teacher Zhuang walked back to the desk, bent down, took out two wooden boxes from under the table, she pointed to one of the long boxes and said, "This is the championship reward you won in this competition, I went to the academy armory room to help you choose, it is a good thing, open it and take a look." ”
I had long forgotten about it, so I stepped forward and grabbed the wooden box, it was so heavy! With my strength, I actually felt my hand fall down, and Mr. Zhuang smiled at me proudly and motioned me to open it.
I lifted the lid and saw that it was a long sword with a dark body, long and wide, except for the black transparent crystal on the hilt, there was no particularly conspicuous place, and when I looked closely, I found that there was a cold air on it, even if I didn't know how to distinguish the quality of the weapon, I couldn't help but admire: "Good sword." ”
Teacher Zhuang said: "Of course it's a good sword, this sword is one of the best weapons in the academy, it belongs to antiquities, if it weren't for your crazy performance in the game with Riva, the dean would really be reluctant to take it out, he, now he has regarded you as the best candidate to inherit Riva's position." ”
I took out the long sword from the box, the ribs of the handle fit very well, it was very comfortable to hold, as soon as the long sword came to my hand, a cold and transparent feeling instantly passed from the hilt of the sword into my body, and the heavenly demon in my body quickly emitted energy in response to this cold breath. The long sword in his hand emitted a faint black light.
Teacher Zhuang said in surprise: "Why does this sword change differently when it comes to your hand, when I hold it, there is no change, the sword is four feet three inches long, three inches wide, and three-quarters of an inch thick, it belongs to the category of heavy swords, named Mo Ming, I heard the dean say that it was originally a demon thing, or one of the seven famous swords in the world, there are three famous swords in the sky, one is given to Riva, one is given to you, and one remains in the academy." ”
I waved the heavy ink in my hand and said in surprise, "The dean is willing to give me such a precious thing, this is ......"
Teacher Zhuang smiled slightly, and said: "You don't have to be too grateful to him, this sword is no different from ordinary swords, it is the vice dean who said that you have cultivated dark magic on your own, and it is possible to exert the power of this sword, and the dean Jue's sword is black and swarthy, not very lucky, coupled with the strong strength you showed, this is why I decided to pass it on to you." ”
I see, except that I was learning the most authentic form of dark magic, not dark magic.
Teacher Zhuang said: "I heard that a good sword can be dripping blood to recognize the Lord, I don't know if this sword has denied the Lord, you try, if you can recognize the Lord, it can exert the greatest power in your hands." ”
I nodded, and gently slashed my index finger with the Silent Blade, a drop of blood suddenly soaked into the blade, and the black light of the Ink Shadow suddenly rose, transmitting an unusually cheerful emotion to me, the dark magic in my body was fully mobilized by it, and quickly flowed into the blade, and every time I cycled, I felt that the dark magic was more refined. A sense of flesh and blood came between me and Moming.
After a long time, the black mang gradually faded, and Mo Ming returned to its original state, and Teacher Zhuang said, "It seems that it should recognize you as the master." ”
I gently stroked the spine of its sword and said, "Mo Ming, you will be my best partner in the future, Teacher Zhuang, thank you for winning such a good sword for me." ”
Teacher Zhuang smiled and said: "Don't say that, I want to thank you for fighting for me face, I once said that no matter who it is, as long as he can win the grade championship, I will give him something as a reward, this small box is what I gave you." ”
I waved my hand again and again, and said, "This ink is too precious to me, how can I ask for your things again." ”
Teacher Zhuang's face sank and said, "I said that I want to send it, so take it quickly." With that, he handed over the small square box.
Seeing her serious expression, I unconsciously took the small square box, and Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
I opened the box and looked, dizzy, it turned out to be a bracelet about four fingers wide, carved with a dragon, is dark blue, in the center of the bracelet there is a circle of sky blue gemstones, I counted, a total of eight, it looks very beautiful, but I am a boy, wearing it is not a little ...... , I embarrassed and said to Teacher Zhuang: "Teacher, this is for girls, I wear it like ......"
Teacher Zhuang said angrily: "You fool, what do you call a girl's use, this bracelet can't be asked for by others, it's mine...... , you try to wear it. ”
Helpless, I had to stretch my hand into the hole of the bracelet, but the hole was too small, only barely four fingers in, Mr. Zhuang suddenly recited a spell in a low voice, the bracelet emitted a dazzling blue halo, swish, it was actually put on my wrist, and it fit very well, like a small bowl.
Teacher Zhuang smiled proudly: "How about it, it's appropriate, you don't have to worry about this bowl, it will automatically increase the power of magic when you use magic, but it only works for magic below level six, it can basically increase by one level." When using more advanced magic, it will also have a certain kick-up effect. ”
What? Increasing a level, that's great? This means that if I use level 6 magic, I will have level 7 power, and I can increase it with higher level magic. Thinking of this, I hurried to pick up the bracelet, but I couldn't get it off, it was like it had grown.
