Chapter 171: The Storm and the Tower (New January, Don't Forget to Change the Call)
For a moment, Eva thought a lot, thinking of her and Fingal holding hands at Rumelissale Castle on the shores of the Bosphorus.
At that time, he was only in a semi-physical state, and only a few days later, he was once again standing on the earth in this posture.
It took a while for Eva to come to her senses and resist the urge to go back to the basement of the library and tell the man who was still there watching the board meeting to look at her new boss.
Then, she saw Lu Mingfei's somewhat abnormal state at the moment.
……
It's a place of thunderstorms and torrential downpours, and in the midst of the dark clouds and unseen torrential rain, there is a faint undulating mountain range. In the middle of the mountains, there seems to be a huge tower reaching into the sky.
Lu Mingfei stood alone on the platform in the distance, looking at what looked like mountains and towers from afar.
He looked around in confusion, in a fog where he couldn't see anywhere else, all he could see was the giant tower of the mountain in the distance, and the tiny platform under his feet.
On the platform where he landed, there was a twisted, bumpy, thorny path that led to the mountain.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his heart. The voice that was absent kept telling him that something he had forgotten or stripped away was inside. The obstacles and thorns of this path could not stop him if he wanted to, and he had lost all that he had lost, his glory, his power, his power, and his throne as long as he wished......
It will all be taken back by him!
I don't know how long it has been, but the call still lingers in his ears. It was as if he saw the figure sitting on the highest throne, the figure that resembled him but was not him, beckoned to him again, and let him go back to where he belonged. His feet seemed uncontrollable, and he took a step forward, about to step into the rainstorm.
"Don't go over!" A loud shout rang out in the sky, and when he heard the sound, he looked at himself as if he had stepped into the rainstorm.
It sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember whose voice it was again: "Go home, look at the sky there, anyway, no matter where you are going, don't set foot in there, and that stone chamber!" ”
Don't set foot in there? And the stone chamber?
Lu Mingfei frowned, and when he had recovered his senses, he first looked at this strange space with some vigilance, and then shouted loudly to the sky without a trace of light: "Who are you?" Where is this again? Is that the person on the stone chair before? ”
He tried activating the magic circuit, trying to use it to dispel the clouds, but the rune of Rune, which he considered proud, did not respond. He tried to clench his fist again, but the power that could repel the dragon seed with one punch could not be exerted.
Looking at this, he was stunned. Here, it was as if he had changed back to his old self...... The boy who won't do anything, will only be in the crowded room of himself and his cousin, daydreaming.
There was a faint glimmer of yellow light in the gloomy sky, and then a roar of thunder drowned out his voice, and just when he thought the speaker was gone, it sounded again, but much quieter.
“…… Can't you remember me anymore...... Is this also how they handle it......" The sound of rain and thunder covered the sound, so that Lu Mingfei could not hear it very clearly.
Then the voice became louder and said, "But that's fine, I don't want to see you, it's better for you to forget about things related to me." ”
"Have we ever met?" Temporarily putting aside the question of the disappearance of ability, Lu Mingfei continued to ask loudly, this slightly familiar voice seemed to him to remember very well, but he couldn't remember what he looked like and what happened to him at all.
But his question this time went unanswered. The owner of the voice did not sound again as if it had really left.
Did you really leave? Lu Mingfei looked at the gloomy sky without a reply and thought like this.
“…… I'm not the only one. As if joking with him, the voice sounded again, right in his ears! Maybe...... Heart?
“…… I'm not the only one watching you......"
After the other party left such a somewhat inexplicable sentence that Lu Mingfei couldn't understand, it disappeared completely, and no matter how he called, he didn't come out again.
That person just said that it's not just me, is there any other existence that has left something on me? He couldn't help but ponder.
Then he looked up again and looked at the mountains in the distance, hidden by the rainstorm, so that he could not see clearly. I don't know if it's his delusion, or if it's supposed to be like this, he feels like the mountain range, like ...... Possession of life in general.
As if in response to his long gaze, somewhere in the mountains seemed to move. Then, like an earthquake, the mountains began to shake.
The platform where Lu Mingfei was located was also affected by the earthquake, and he had to half-crouch to prevent him from falling.
At the same time, the torrential rain and thunder in this space have become more intense. The lightning in the sky crackled in the mountains one after another, and the torrential rain became heavier, completely blocking the mountains that Lu Mingfei could still see a little.
After a while, the shaking stopped, and Lu Mingfei also stood up after observing for a while. The torrential rain and thunder also gradually decreased, and they returned to their previous appearance.
And after what looked like an earthquake just now, from a distance, the tower was still standing in place, undamaged.
“…… Manage...... Host......! ”
There was another voice in the distance, and unlike what had sounded in his heart and from the sky, this faintly audible female voice sounded from behind him.
EVA? Lu Mingfei, who wanted to continue to observe the tower, turned around, and the female voice became more and more obvious.
Lu Mingfei, who knew that he was supposed to go back, turned his head and wanted to take one last look at the mountain range and the tower.
Then he saw that in the sight of the lake that was becoming more and more moldy, six rays of light like meteors flew out from the place where the tower connected to the sky, and came towards this direction.
Lu Mingfei, who woke up suddenly, saw what was in front of him clearly: in the round technique, the six figures were still bathed in golden light. And Eva, who called him just now, looked at him with some worry as he was holding a short sword in a magic dress.
Everything in the house is still the same as before.
"Master, are you alright?" Seeing Lu Mingfei's response, Eva stepped forward and asked, "I've seen you like this since I regained my senses." ”
"Nothing." Lu Mingfei, who quickly regained his composure, replied.
The failure to tell the truth is not out of distrust of Eva, but rather that it is better to hide things that only you can see.
Lu Mingze hid his look of disappointment, ran over as if he was concerned, grabbed Lu Mingfei's pants, and said as if flattering: "Brother, if you are too tired, go and take a rest." The men who are supposed to serve you are tired like this, which is a bit of a reversal of the cart. ”
Hearing Lu Mingze's words of concern, Lu Mingfei first made a casual expression as usual, and then as if he understood something, he was stunned for a moment and then looked down at Lu Mingze, who was not as tall as his legs, as if he was getting smaller and smaller.
Lu Mingze stared at the big eyes that were enough to make the strange aunts and strange sisters scream, tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter, brother?" ”
“…… It's nothing. Lu Mingfei looked at him deeply, turned his head and said.
He seems to already know where this Lu Mingze, who has always called himself his younger brother, came from.
……
In the conference room of Valhalla, the school directors were taken aback by Pompey's generosity, and they all looked at the headmaster who had already finished communicating with Pompeii with complicated expressions.
"It doesn't make sense!" Before the school directors recovered from the shock, a violent bell rang, and the middle-aged school manager, who looked unremarkable, had a sense of presence for the first time.
Seeing that all eyes were looking at him, the middle-aged school manager put down the bell and said: "According to the rules and regulations of the college and the school board of trustees, in order to prevent a certain school board member of the school board from being too powerful, the school directors will fund a certain college exclusive to the college in accordance with strict regulations. Pompeii, your funding has clearly exceeded the boundaries! ”
The headmaster raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, so let Pompey, who proposed this, solve it himself. At the same time, some people seem to have forgotten that there is another clause in the regulations, and the school board should not form a private party and dominate the family.
Pompey heard the voice of the middle-aged school manager, but he couldn't see him, but it didn't affect him from speaking: "What is this?" Let me think, oh yes! That's it! ”
As if thinking of something, he said, "The school board is strong, you can; The campus principal is strong, no. I want to ask, do you have such a set of double standards? ”
The middle-aged school director choked up, but couldn't find a place to refute it. Even if he didn't join Frost's clique, he knew that Frost had gone too far. He was happy to see this scene at the beginning, but now he doesn't seem to have any right to speak. Although he just didn't want to see the headmaster powerful.
"Besides, I didn't say that the funding was for the campus." Seeing that no one was accosted, Pompeii continued, "My relationship will be held by my old friend Angers personally, and it has nothing to do with the Academy. As for what he wants to do with this relationship, that's his own business. ”
That way, the school directors have nothing to say. Pompeii's play seemed like a private gift, and they, as school trustees, could not interfere. And as Pompeii said before, this way, the Headmaster can bypass them and use only Gattuso's route to slay dragons or purge dangerous hybrids.
In this way, under Pompeii's operation, the previous estrangement between the Gattuso family and the headmaster can be regarded as a write-off, and it is one step closer, which is undoubtedly not what some of them want to see.
Yin Lizabeth also looked at the principal with mixed feelings, she didn't feel like other school directors that she would not be able to check and balance him in the future, but she felt that in this way, she would no longer be able to help him.
Su Enxi watched the whole play as if she was watching a play, except that she regretted that she didn't bring snacks in, but she didn't understand what this Gattuso family master was doing.
According to their information, although the Gattuso family can be considered a member of the Kassel Academy, it seems that in fact it is.
However, the information they obtained from all sides indicated that the Gattuso family had plans to leave Kassel alone.
Su Enxi didn't believe that the principal, who had lived for more than a hundred years, couldn't see it, but what Pompeii, the head of the Gattuso family, was doing today was really something she couldn't understand.
"Well, that's it." Pompeii, who couldn't see anyone, said loudly, "It's time for you to take us to see the new discoveries you've been hiding for so long, right?" Friend. ”
Hearing this, the school directors who were still whispering stopped and looked at the principal of the first seat.
However, the principal did not answer immediately, but looked at the bodyguards, secretaries, housekeepers, and the like who were not members of the school board in the venue.
Although he didn't speak, the inquiring attitude was already obvious.
Gazed by the headmaster, the butler behind the girl said, "I was entrusted by the previous head of the house to take care of the young lady, and the place where the young lady is going must be with me." ”
As if to confirm his words, the girl nodded: "Don't worry if you work confidentially, we know what we can and can't say." ”
The principal nodded, agreeing with her statement, and then turned his gaze to Su Enxi and the wine De Mai behind her.
"You don't need to question Mei's professionalism and strictness, as my deputy, she knows no less than me." Su Enxi replied vigorously, which was a response to the principal.
Jiude Mai still didn't say a word, and her indifferent appearance was like a competent bodyguard.
Although he couldn't see it, Pompey, who already knew what the headmaster was afraid of, said: "I don't need to remind you of Patsy's words, he can even hold Frost down if he faithfully carries out my orders." ”
Patsy nodded appropriately to the headmaster, and Frost, who was still being pressed by him, snorted and turned his head, which was also an acknowledgement.
"In that case, let's go over." The headmaster, who received the reply, nodded, and pressed a switch at the top of the long table.
Suddenly, there was the sound of gears turning in the room, and the entire area around the long table, along with a few meters behind the school trustees, began to sink like a transport elevator.
The headmaster explained slowly: "Because someone is here for the first time, I will say it again, and then you will go directly to the real 'ice cellar' of the academy." And the dragon body recovered from Mesopotamia, which is the raw material for the newly made Philosopher's Stone that you just watched, is below. ”
The school directors present except for Su Enxi were all surprised by this, only Su Enxi looked around like a curious baby.
In fact, she knew that there was an "ice cellar" under the Kassel Academy that was composed of several spaces, and as the interim director of the school, she also had the permission card to enter here.
But it was the first time she had come to the "ice cellar" to see it in person, and her permission card was also used by someone. But for her who doesn't come here much, the permission card is useless.
The elevator stopped somewhere through what looked like an underwater park that caused the girl to exclaim, and somewhere there was a platform with protective glass on all sides.
The headmaster got up and left his seat and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window directly behind him, which was shielded outside.
Seeing this, the school trustees also left their seats one by one and stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows like him.
Pompey, unable to move, also dialed Patsy's phone again, and Patcy walked to the window with the phone in his hand so that he could see the scene outside.
Among the group of people, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai, who knew what they were, came over unhurriedly, which also made them gain a strong evaluation from the principal.
Yin Lizabeth came to the principal's side, and asked with a puzzled look in her beautiful eyes under the black veil, "Is it the first generation of the first generation to take such a formal precaution?" ”
"No, if it was the first generation, if it was the first generation, I would probably wake up from a dream. And, for your safety, I wouldn't dare let you in. The principal shook his head, took out the walkie-talkie he got out of nowhere, and said, "Let's get ready, our school board members can't wait." ”
Yin Lizabeth was a little unhappy: "You are always like this, I am no longer a child." ”
"For the elderly, the younger generation is still not a child, and it has nothing to do with their age." The headmaster said, and a voice interjected.
The walkie-talkie in the principal's hand made an old, but somewhat similar voice to Pompeii, the same frivolous: "Oh, isn't this the voice of little Yin Lisabeth?" I really haven't seen you in a while, did this old bastard Ange speak ill of me in front of you? ”
Hearing this voice, Yin Lizabeth's face was a little unnatural, and she greeted, "Hello, Mentor Flamel."
She was always bad at dealing with this mentor Flamel, who was an ally of the headmaster, but who had been in love with Pompeii.
"It's really out of sight." The vice-principal's voice sounded again, "You can ...... if you call me Grandpa Flammel"
"Oops! Isn't this voice Flammel? Where are you? Let me see. A strong voice interjected again, Pompeii again.
He chattered as if he had found a confidant: "Anyway, did you have a good collection of the photo I gave you last time?" I've got some more this time, and I'll give you a ...... when the 'House Star' starts this time."
No one answered him, and the vice-principal disconnected the intercom when he heard the voice.
For the vice principal, this is the same interest as him, but he is more handsome and muscular than him, and he is also good at dealing with it.
In Chinese language, it means that one mountain cannot tolerate two kinds...... Tiger.
Frost turned his head, he had never felt so ashamed, even when he had confronted Ange before.
The headmaster pressed the mute button on Patsy's phone, causing Pompeii's voice to disappear, and the people on the platform felt a little better.
Then their eyes focused on the slowly rising shield outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the pale figure that was gradually revealed.
