Chapter 0009: Crystal

"Gavi, the girl named Mary, can you bring her information out to me?"

"Hmm, what's wrong, is there something wrong with her?" Gavi immediately became nervous, could it be that this inconspicuous girl was a deep undercover agent of the Protoss or something?

"It's nothing, can you?" said Xue Ling, who didn't answer him, just asked lightly.

"Yes, then I'll give it to you in the afternoon. Garvey thought for a moment, and then replied, it seems that he is also familiar with this forbidden thing that is beyond the scope of his duties.

"Oh. "By the way, tonight the academy celebrates its fifteenth anniversary, all students must be present, and you seem to have reported a few programs. Garvey instructed again.

Xue Ling suddenly understood why the academy was so lively these days, but this kind of thing must have been reported to him by a blind man on his own initiative...... But fortunately, he was used to it.

"Oh. Xue Ling turned around and left, his magic practice time still couldn't be delayed, but those instruments hadn't been touched for a long time, and he didn't know if his hands were raw. The thought of the musical instrument Xue Ling felt a little painful all over his body, that damn old man......

At night, Xue Ling stood at the door of the Great Hall, not knowing whether to go in or not, the noise inside gave him a headache, and the heat generated by the dense crowd inside also made him extremely uncomfortable. Just as he was hesitating, Cyla and the others came in: "Your Highness, you haven't gone in yet, but it's expected." Teacher Garvey and the head of the knight department opened the back door and allowed us to go to the second floor, which was less crowded and quieter. "Oh. Xue Ling finally followed them in.

"Ah, Angelo, you're here!" said the head of the knight department enthusiastically, "I thought you wouldn't come!" Xue Ling lightly dodged the director's hand that wanted to pat him on the shoulder, and said lightly, "Hello teachers." ”

"Well, Angelo, you're very popular with the teachers, how far have you practiced magic?" asked Mentor Ruoai with a smile. "It's still bad, can I wait until the academy competition to answer this question?" said Xue Ling.

"Absolutely. Tutor Ruoai still smiled, "What a proud child." ”

"So Angelo, what rank of knight are you? To be honest, I don't know. The head of the knight department asked with interest. "I don't know. Xue Ling replied lightly. "Oh, young people are so energetic, don't always look like a big iceberg. "The head of the knight department doesn't care, to be honest he gets along well with Cyra now, and it seems to be very affected.

"Oh. Xue Ling glanced through the glass at the crowd below and replied lightly. The head of the magic department was standing on the stage of the auditorium to speak, and the head of the knight department also glanced down, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Director," Xue Ling said suddenly, "Are you and the head of the magic department husband and wife......?" Don't sprinkle here if you have vitality...... Not really!" He was a little flustered.

"Oh. Xue Ling replied, "Then what do you mean by that?" he asked seriously.

"Huh?" the director was stunned, "What do you mean?" "The light in your eyes just now is an unconscious behavior that is manifested by some kind of psychological fluctuation, which is usually the husband looking at his wife, but you are not husband and wife...... Is it ......?" Xue Ling glanced at the director with a refined and meaningful gaze. "Shut up, it's not what you think! We don't have anything to do!" The director was momentarily confused and hurriedly waved his hand. "Isn't it?" Xue Ling lowered her head and sighed slightly, "I shouldn't have misjudged." He said with some confusion.

"There is another situation, that is, he is sullen unrequited love. A lively female voice came, with a bright smile. Everyone looked at the two new men who had appeared on the second floor. "Katrin you shouldn't say that, it's so rude. A gentle old man said slowly, and the lovely girl next to him helped him to sit down. "But etiquette is a troublesome thing!" she muttered discontentedly.

"Bernard Joyce, who is said to be the most arrogant and talented musician, has always scoffed at people like us, and never set foot in a place where the aristocracy gathered, and I could not have imagined that you would come to such a place. Garvey said with interest, the originally lively and childish atmosphere instantly became heavy, and the group of teachers and students instantly became lazy and arrogant aristocrats.

"Yes," said the old man, "this academy is the dirtiest place in the world, full of all kinds of evils, and the root of them is the nobles who built and operated in it. But this time I was asked by a man to give something to a person here, and I didn't want to say yes, but he said that this person can play the best "Empty" in the world, and I came here for this. Which of you can play the true, most perfect "Empty"?" Bernard smiled mildly, his gaze sweeping over the entire second floor, "He said that this thing was very important, and that this thing would fill the hole, but he didn't say what hole, and I don't know. You guys, no one knows?"

Everyone here was amazed, as cultivated aristocrats, they definitely knew that "Empty" was a piece that could not be really played. Because only the emptiness of the heart like "Emptiness" can play such music, but the empty heart is only a baby except for the dead, and how can a baby play?

"Who told you?" asked both Xue Ling and Cyra, but Cyra immediately lowered her head and stopped talking. Xue Ling tilted her head slightly, her white hair hanging down softly, "Who is it?" he asked.

The director remembered that the book that Cyra had given him had said that Xue Ling's most dangerous form was like this, which seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, but could go berserk at any time. He shuddered.

"I don't know, it's a red-haired man. Bernard said.

"Hehe, you're so cute!" Catherine jumped over and touched Shelling's head with a smile, even though she was only standing tall.

Everyone was silent. Xue Ling is going to go berserk...... Everyone swallowed.

Xue Ling reached out and grabbed Katrin's wrist, "You...... It's not human, is it?" he said. "Huh?" said Catherine in amazement, "I'm an elf, a belinden elf!" she smiled cutely.

"That thing must be with you, can you let me see it first?" Shelling let go of Katrin's wrist and looked at her.

"So would you like to play 'Emptiness' for me?"

"If that is what I desire. ”

"Okay. Katrin opened her hand, and a red crystal lay in her palm, and there were many colored lights in it, and now another red light appeared in it out of nowhere, and it was also rushing around. Xue Ling looked at it, and suddenly understood where his lost feelings had gone, and suddenly understood why only he could play "Empty", because his feelings were stolen by someone, his heart was empty, and he could no longer resonate with other people's feelings. So he couldn't understand why Tara was so attentive to him, he couldn't understand the meaning in Moxiu's eyes every time he looked at him, and he couldn't understand the fights that Sau and Hea were fighting about him.

"Okay, I'll play 'Emptiness' for you, and you give me this thing. Xue Ling looked at Bernard and said. "Okay. Bernard said with a gentle smile. "Then I'll start now. Xue Ling stood up and flew from the second floor to the stage in the center of the auditorium, and everyone realized that it was time for the head of the magic department to report for Xue Ling to perform on stage. "The control of time is also quite good, Lord Changqing. Garvey said lightly.

Xue Ling stood on the stage and slowly took out a white violin, then rested it on her shoulder.

Bernard looked at the white figure with expectant and interested eyes. Katrin put her hand on her cheek and pouted, "Really...... That guy is so strange, why is everything white...... Like a dead man or a funeral person...... It's weird. Cyra, who was sitting in the corner, shuddered suddenly, but said nothing.

The piano sounded.

Bernard held his breath as he saw the ripples rippling with the sound of the piano, bringing the sound of the world to his ears. But when I listened closely, there was nothing, just the hollow sound of the piano echoed, and the human heart became hollow, echoing with the same empty piano sound. It was a baptism of the spirit.

Suddenly, there was a flickering light in the group of students on the first floor, at first it was just one, but then it lit up in patches, mostly on the seats of the magic department, and some on the knight side. Just when everyone was shocked by this, a large number of points of light appeared beside Mentor Ruoai on the second floor, constantly merging into her body, "Finally ......" she said softly, "Rank 9 Grand Wizard, it seems that I am going to be promoted." ”

"Is this ......," the head of the knight department muttered in surprise, "is it a collective promotion?"

"The mental fluctuations guided by "Sora" are of great help to the advancement of magicians, and it is also helpful for those knights who have not been able to advance for a long time because their mental state is not very good. Cyra said softly, completely different from her usual madness, "But this magical effect only works when you listen to it for the first time, and it's a shame that those who don't make the cut." No one will ever be able to play such a piano again. ”

"It's okay, I've enjoyed it, haven't I? Isn't it because it's so unique and unplayable?" Bernard said with a laugh.

After finishing the song, Xue Ling bowed and went up to the second floor.

"Thank you, we owe you a personal favor. When Mentor Ruoai saw him come in, he smiled and said.

"Oh, no thanks. Xue Ling said lightly, "Take it." He looked at Bernard and said.

"Give it to him, Katrin. Bernard got up, "It's time for us to go......"

"This is leaving?" said Katrin reluctantly, "Well, here you go." She threw the crystal to Cherling.

"Don't mind, Katrin, we'll have a chance to meet in the future. Bernard said with a smile. "Oh, that's great. Catelyn laughed and walked away with Bernard in her arms.

"Then I'll go first. After Xue Ling finished speaking, she turned around and left, and the three of them went out with him.

When they went out, after a while, "Hey, it's really rare to see someone in your family with such a personality." Mentor Ruoai said with a smile. "Your family isn't much the same. Garvey replied with a smile. "Needless to say, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp. The head of the knight department said, "But Xue Ling, this kid...... It's a lot like a friend of mine......" His voice was low, as if remembering something from the past.
