"Sir, how is Yelena doing, when can I visit her?"

"When she's ready. ”

"Ready?"

"I can say responsibly that the reason why we want to live in this world is that in addition to oxygen, love and hope, there are some more important elements. Such as waiting. ”

"Waiting is a virtue, and it is also a way to make love and hope more mellow with the brewing of time. You're only eighteen years old......"

"Nineteen, sir. The young student had to interrupt in a whisper: "I'm nineteen years old. ”

"Almost," said the gentleman, waving his hand, not paying attention to the details, "for me, eighteen or eighty years old, I am still a child. It doesn't make a difference. ”

Mr. can always say something that Zheng Qing can't refute.

“...... You are all still young, and the days ahead are long. There are many more colorful worlds waiting for you to explore. You can be great wizards and date at the end of time...... All it takes is a little patience and waiting. ”

These are two points, Zheng Qing muttered in his heart, and at the same time thought with some melancholy - well, dating at the end of time sounds very difficult. Is this another way of describing love when you die?

As they spoke, the two of them kept moving forward in the thick fog.

Zheng Qing didn't know where Mr. was going to take him, and he didn't object to walking around with Mr. for a while. But he doesn't like to be too quiet when walking. It would have made him feel embarrassed in the air.

Because when we met last week, the young wizard had already reported to Mr. about what had happened at the school recently. So this time we met, it was difficult for him to talk as much as last time.

After racking his brains and thinking for a long time, Zheng Qing finally thought of an interesting topic.

"Sir," the boy licked his lips and asked in a low voice, "In this week's Charms class, Professor Yao gave us some concepts about the Yuanchen Guardian Charm...... The professor said, "The purpose of that spell is to create a 'sign'?"

"That's right. The gentleman replied briefly.

But this was not the answer Zheng Qing wanted.

"In other words, that spell didn't work for me, did it?" the young scholar analyzed, "You said before that because of the forbidden spell, my magic path already has a very clear roadbed, and I only need to follow the planned 'path' to go far, far away......"

The gentleman turned his head sideways and glanced at him.

"Learning magic is a gradual process. He replied, "Any bit of knowledge is very important. Just like a poor man who suddenly inherits a large sum of gold, if he does not learn how to maintain and increase the value of those gold, and does not learn how to use it sparingly, the gold will eventually disappear from his side like flowing water. ”

"You don't want to explode on the spot every time you use a forbidden spell in the future, do you? ”

Zheng Qing shook his head vigorously: "I don't want to." ”

"So," Mr. nodded, "the function of the Yuanchen Guardian Charm is to allow you to build your own magical methodology and refine your magical worldview. You have to be proficient in it. ”

"Will my real bodies be two villains?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but ask a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

He clearly remembered that after he released the Yuanchen Guardian Charm, two villains were revealed: one was wearing a white robe, wearing a high crown of horns, his hands were in his sleeves, and a book and a pen appeared in front of him, and the other was wearing a black short coat, wearing a horse-faced mask, with a black iron chain around his neck, and a knife in his hand.

The gentleman's hand on the boy's shoulder used a little force and almost pinned him to the ground.

"The biggest problem for many people is thinking too much and doing too little. The gentleman sighed slightly: "What is the real body? What is the essence of the real body? How to condense the real body? and so on...... These are not the questions you can focus on right now. It's farther away from you than from Earth to Planet. ”

"The road is underfoot. You can glance up at the sky once in a while, but more attention should be paid to the path underfoot. Don't be like Thales of Ionia, who walked looking at the stars and falling into a pit. ”

"But don't be upset either. I love the way you ask questions. ”

"It's very much in line with what we're going to do today. ”

Zheng Qing didn't speak, but continued to listen quietly, but involuntarily recalled the content of the previous class in his mind. In the last lesson, he took him through two cases where two small hopes were destroyed, and then told him that there was no need to be upset about the destruction of those two small hopes.

Because the benevolent are not worried.

As long as you do the right thing, you don't need to be upset by insecurity.

The fog suddenly dissipated, interrupting the boys' memories. Zheng Qing appeared in front of his eyes a delicate octagonal pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, bucket arches and cornices, there was no figure in the pavilion, but a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror was placed, which looked very peculiar.

The gentleman took Zheng Qing and waited for a few seconds at the foot of the steps in front of the pavilion before climbing the stairs.

"What time is it?" asked the gentleman, standing in front of the mirror.

Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out his silver-shelled pocket watch from the gray cloth bag. When the lid is opened, the hands point to 1:46 p.m.

When the boy was about to answer, the pocket watch in his hand suddenly burst into a layer of light, and the hour hand in the case rotated wildly. Irregularly, it turned forward more than ten times, and then turned backwards seven or eight times. The minute hand is like a sheep with epilepsy, and it only trembles vigorously in place.

Zheng Qing had every reason to believe that if it weren't for the quartz case, the minute hand would have jumped out of the pocket watch and jumped to the ground.

The young wizard stammered, looked at his crazy pocket watch and froze for a few seconds before he remembered to look up and ask Mr. But when he looked up, he saw that the gentleman was looking out of the pavilion with interest.

Zheng Qing followed his husband's gaze and looked out, and found that just when the pocket watch went crazy, outside the pavilion, the dense fog that was isolated from the outside also rolled violently. It was as if a dozen dragons were fighting hand-to-hand in the mist, and like the sea roaring under a storm.

Wave after wave of fog crashed into the gazebo beneath their feet, but not a single bit of fog could enter.

"What time is it?" asked the gentleman again.

Zheng Qing subconsciously glanced down at the pocket watch in his hand, the madness of the hour hand seemed to have passed, and the rotation speed was getting slower and slower. He waited a few more seconds, and the hour hand finally stopped spinning, stopping at eleven o'clock.

The minute hand was not unique, and at the moment when the hour hand stopped rotating, it finally jumped, jumping from the forty-sixth to the forty-seventh.

"Eleven forty-seven o'clock in the evening. The boy licked his lips and replied in a hoarse voice.
