Chapter 11: The Uninvited Guest
The sea breeze sings shallowly, and it seems that under its caressing, a shy flush flows from the sky. Saza www.biquge.info walked slowly through the Neville School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, for the first time in the woods this time, he didn't get lost, or he had been blinded by all the forks, and it was still a while before the sun sank into the horizon, so he was in no hurry to get back to the classroom. Ouya should still be outside watching over the group of difficult students. He thought.
What happened today now feels like a dream when I look back on it. At first, I thought it was the most boring day, after sneaking out of school, I first met an unusually rare magic array master, and then followed Noel to break into the tree tower, I originally thought this was a moth to a fire-like action, but I didn't expect it to end in success, and my most familiar friend suddenly turned into a once-in-a-century hero. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, everything today ended up with the best ending, and he was really looking forward to tomorrow.
Before I knew it, I had already walked to the classroom. Pushing open the door, I saw Qi Li'er who was about to open the door.
"Saza......" The look on her face was a little worried.
"Where are you going?" asked Saza, suddenly feeling a little bad as he saw everyone in the class pack up their things and prepare to leave.
Qi Li'er looked at him and pouted to the side, looking in that direction, and sure enough, Ouya was sitting on the seat in the first row.
"I'll go first, see you tomorrow. Seeing him roll her eyes, Qi Li'er faded the worry on her face and said goodbye to him with a chuckle.
Now Saza feels that he has come to a conclusion too soon, and maybe not everyone has a good finish.
"Ouya... Mentor. ”
There should only be one reasonable explanation for her coming back so early, and all of the idiots in Class C had completed the hunting trial ahead of schedule and returned to Neville. What fools, don't you know how to spend the rest of your time outside the city having fun?" Saza cursed inwardly, but that didn't change the gloom on his mentor's face.
"Five hundred times and one hundred times the wind blade is concluded. Perhaps because of the faint tiredness on her face, her words were more concise than usual today, without the slightest chance to give Saza an explanation. She tossed Saza a stack of demonic papers and ignored him, staring at a thick book on the table.
Saza silently returned to his seat with the thick stack of scar papers. Even if he could open his bow left and right and form a magic circle with both hands, no matter how fast he was, the interval between magic spells of about ten seconds was enough for him to miss a hot dinner.
He put his hands on a piece of magic mark paper and began to form a magic circle, because he was practicing, so he didn't need to complete the last step to fill in the element, so it didn't actually consume much magic power at all. After the magic circle is concluded in his hand, a pattern of the magic array will be left on the magic mark paper, and this pattern will not be kept for too long, if the speed is slow, maybe until he starves to death, he will not be able to complete the task given to him by Ouya. This kind of thing is simply made by those well-fed tutors to torture their students, he sneered.
At first, Saza was able to complete each magic array with more care, but after nearly finishing the three hundredth piece of magic mark paper, the sky was already dark, and the cold-blooded woman sitting not far in front of her was still sitting there without moving, with the intention of waiting for him to finish the last magic mark paper before leaving. So he began to feel a little anxious, and the pattern on the paper also changed from a complete magic array engraved with magic patterns to a basic magic array of wind blades without any processing.
It has to be said that cutting corners has an absolute increase in speed. With a long sigh of relief, the last two pieces of magic paper were also tattooed with a magic circle. Stacked with a thick stack of magic mark papers, I felt a great sense of relief in my heart.
He took the stack of demon papers, walked over to the cold-blooded woman, and was about to speak, only to find that she had fallen asleep with her forehead propped up at some point.
It seemed that this cold-blooded woman was quite beautiful in this way, and he couldn't help but lower his body to take a closer look at her usually ignored face. Even when she was asleep, there was still a hint of coldness on her face, perhaps most of the elegant things presented a posture of rejecting people from thousands of miles away.
He had just thought of this, only to find that the eyes that had been closed just now were staring at him, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back and crashed into the table behind him.
"The magic array is tattooed?" Maybe because he had just woken up, Ouya's voice had a hint of laziness, lacking the usual crisp feeling.
It was also the first time that Saza had heard her speak to him in such a voice, and she was a little distracted, but she still reacted: "It's all tattooed." He handed the magic paper in his hand with some concern, hoping that she wouldn't find the part that was cut corners in it.
"Go back. Ouya immediately resumed her usual tone, but what Saza didn't expect was that she let him go without even looking at him.
"Goodbye, mentor. Afraid that she would change her mind, Saza hurriedly said goodbye and walked out of the classroom.
The street lights outside have already been lit, and it is estimated that they are going to eat cold dishes at this point, and their mother Laura always says: Warm meals will not wait for people who come home late. She also did what she said she would, never warming up a meal for him after he came home late.
Go home and finish eating, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep. That's all for today's day, it's exciting enough. Saza thought to herself.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his conclusion seemed to be early again.
alley
Saza returned home and was about to open the door when he heard an unfamiliar voice coming from inside.
"Please don't embarrass me, be sure to accept it!"
"How many times have we all said it, our family of three is living well now, please go back and tell your master, don't interfere in our lives again!" was Sean's voice, which sounded already suppressed anger.
"Sir, you've hurt our family enough in the past, why are you still chasing us now?" Lola's questioning sounded more like a pleading.
"I'm sorry, but I'm just doing what I'm told, and I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you. I'll still keep it, and as for what to do with it, that's your freedom. I think it's time for me to take my leave. ”
Saza knew that the stranger had noticed his arrival, so he opened the door. He found that he was not a stranger, he had seen him a few times, but it was the first time he had seen him since the family had moved here. And this time he was still like that, completely hiding his face under the hood. The man glanced at Saza, passed him and walked out the door.
"It's him again, what is he doing here?" asked Saza as well, sure that the man was definitely not a friend of Sean and Lola, but why did he keep coming to the door? "What is this?"
"You don't need to care about this!" Sean pulled up the cloth bag and inadvertently let out a sound of metal clashing. His face was filled with helplessness again, and he turned and walked into the bedroom.
Saza was shocked by his father's unusual attitude today, and this should have been the first time he had spoken to himself in such an arrogant tone. He also knew that he had better not ask about this matter, so he turned to his apologetic mother and said, "Mom, I haven't eaten yet, you can bring the food." ”
"Hmm. Lola nodded, and as soon as she stood up, she stopped moving. "But the food was all cold. She said.
"Or else?" Saza once again sensed the abnormality in his mother, she would never say this sentence normally, but he still tried to keep his natural smile on his face: "I made a mistake in school today and was punished, so I came back late." I've been ready for cold dishes for a long time. ”
His words made Laura stand there even more slowly, and at last, she actually took a silver coin from her purse and handed it to him: "Go out and have something to eat." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Saza stared at the silver coin in his hand in a daze, a silver coin, a dinner, which was too much luxury for a common family. The arrival of the stranger shattered the original track of their lives.
Maybe it really should be time to get out for a walk and give this family some respite. He thought. So he went out of the house with the silver coin.
At night, the sea breeze comes alive and roams the streets. Saza bought two fish cakes and four copper coins in a shop, which was enough for him. He took the 126 copper coins he found and put them in the middle of his waist pocket, and if he didn't get tired of eating them, the money here would allow him to live for eight days eating fish cakes. And today he wants to be kind to himself, so he spends 2 copper coins to buy a bottle of Bingbing Berry Juice. A big meal.
Although the sea at night is covered with a black veil, it is difficult to see what it looks like, but even just listening to the sound of the waves blooming is enough to be considered a pleasure. The salty sea breeze on the shore blows incessantly, just in line with the wishes of the fishermen who dry their goods on the shore. Saza sat with his back to the sea, and he liked to sit like this, with the endless sea behind him. There's nothing like that to make you feel smaller, he thought. From time to time, there is a shivering sensation in the back of my head. All of a sudden, all the upsetting trivial things in my heart were washed away and quieted.
Since moving to Tinghai Town with his parents more than a year ago, this harbor has become his favorite place in this town.
Truth be told, two years wasn't enough time for him to fully accept a new pair of parents, but he didn't mind living with them like this, because he could always feel the real feelings they had for him. Even if there are still some barriers, this kind of life is not bad. And the arrival of that stranger seemed to break all this today, and he suddenly had an epiphany, maybe that long move was to avoid this guy!
Thinking of the helpless expressions of Sean and Lola on their helpless faces, what was in the cloth bag left by the stranger? It seems that the family in which he is born is not the ordinary family he thought at the beginning, and there is a story behind it that he does not know, and this story continues to this day. But now that he has taken over this life, he can't let the story extend in a gloomy direction. He silently made up his mind.
After eating the last bite of the fish cake and drinking all the ice berry juice, Saza was about to turn back and go home after he had calmed down for a while. But he saw a swaying figure walking towards him, and the dim light of the harbor at night prevented him from seeing the man's appearance.
But as soon as the man got closer, he recognized him, it was probably her. Isn't that the Demon Array Master I met in the forest that afternoon?
