Chapter 70: Alone

The Great Alchemist's tower has no windows, so it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, and can only judge the time by the regularity of the movement of the suspended platform. For some secrecy reasons, there are no human minions in the tower, and all the work is done by constructed creatures. When the owner left, the place fell into a deserted darkness.

The amethyst protective net gradually extinguished the light, and the minions of the constructed creatures fell into a deep sleep, and only two slight breathing sounds in the laboratory were left in the huge tower, which were particularly clear in the silence.

"It's impossible for a man to say something like that. ”

Turning the second page of "Overview of the Human Rune System", which was still full of dense and unfamiliar words, El rubbed his temples and sighed bitterly.

"Woo-" The voice of recitation across the desk paused, followed by a tangled scream.

There were still tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, and although the buttons on the neckline had fallen, the clothes on her body were still neat, but there were red fingerprints on her delicate face like white porcelain. When she was emotional, El didn't take advantage of the danger, but just pinched her face and ravaged her fiercely, and it still hurts faintly.

As the saying goes, things must be opposed, but in fact, the idea of self-abandonment is just a nervous disorder caused by a girl's shame drowning her reason without psychological preparation. When she calmed down, she realized what a gaffe she had made, and for a while she wanted to find a crack in the ground.

"Has Mr. Stephen behaved like this before?" El asked, frowning tentatively. "I mean you like ...... Uh, some kind of exchange prop or something. ”

He didn't look up to see the girl's expression, for fear that Lolana would lose control of her emotions again. However, even without looking at it, the observation power that perceives the runes can clearly sense the rapidly rising body temperature on the other side of the desk.

No matter how witty Lolana is, she is still an innocent girl after all, even if she has been calm in the reading room for a while, she can't help but blush when she talks about that topic again. But this question cannot be left untouched, because from the beginning to the end of the whole matter, the attitude of the great alchemist is extremely strange.

"How is that possible...... Although the teacher is usually very strict, at most it only adds to my workload. Lorana blushed and whispered, listening to her voice, although still a little shy, she had regained her senses. "Moreover, as the most transcendent 'academic' leader and 'enshrined' sage of Isttalon, he is free to take all the resources he wants, and there is no need to use his own disciples at all. ”

"I think that's the case, and even if he really had a real idea, it would be too wasteful to use it on me. El touched his chin and wondered: "Is he sure that I can't memorize this book for three days?"

"That's why I said you must be the teacher's own son. Lolana glared indignantly and said, "By age, or more likely to be a grandson?"

"You have to recognize your own son first, right? El rolled his eyes, but his heart was a little empty. It is true that the old man who adopted him never mentioned anything about his family, and he was not sensible at that time, and he didn't care about this. If you want to talk about it, it's really not impossible. Even if Queensland and Isttalen are separated by a vast forest, who knows if Master Stephen was old and strong and merciful?

Of course, this idea is very unreliable, and El has already had another guess before that.

"Master Stephen seems to be particularly interested in my ability to use runes, and I don't know why he's repeatedly stressed the issue of time. El tapped on his desk, saying little by little about the anomaly he had noticed. Although his observation skills are strong, when it comes to further analytical reasoning, he is much inferior to Lolana.

"That's true. Lorana's eyes lit up, and her face slowly sank. The girl had also felt the teacher's abnormality before, but her mood swings were too great because she was being treated as a reward, and she didn't even notice the real purpose of Stephen's decision for a while.

"Although the number of runemasters is scarce due to their bloodline, it is not a rare breed to speak. Compared to the Dragon-Blood Warlock and Spectral Spellbreaker, who will not produce a single one in hundreds of years, this bit of your ability is not worth studying at all. The theoretical study of runes has been uninterrupted for thousands of years, and there are dozens of famous books. Besides, the teacher hadn't paid attention to this field before this......"

Lolana muttered to herself for a long time, and her confused eyes gradually became clear.

The teacher once said that learning knowledge should be done with a rigorous and serious attitude, and should not be perfunctory in order to save time and effort. But now he doesn't even have the patience to lay the foundation for you, and he has no intention of really teaching you. ”

"If that's the case, then he's not using you, he's trying to use me. El said in a deep voice.

"That's right, the teacher must need you to enhance your abilities in the shortest possible time, and then it will be very useful. Luo Lana clapped her hands and said, "This matter must be very important, so important that he thinks that even if he sacrifices his own disciples...... But that doesn't make sense. The most important thing for us now is to deal with the Earthwalker Legion in front of us, but it is a clash of strength between races, and no matter how strong a person's strength is, it is not of much use, otherwise Princess Langaria would have already gone on a killing spree. ”

"Maybe Master Stephen thinks I can submit that Spider-Woman?" El said half-jokingly.

"Can the power of the runes make you worth five hundred strong men?" said Lolana, with a look of horror.

Speaking of this, both of them shivered involuntarily, and hurriedly shook their heads and threw away the brain pictures in their minds.

"Don't guess, maybe the answer is in this book. El gestured to the "Overview of the Human Rune System" on the table. "By the time I memorize this book, I may be able to understand Master Stephen's true intentions. ”

"How can this book seem to be hundreds of thousands of words, and you really plan to memorize it in three days?" asked Lolana, narrowing her eyes, suspicious.

"How is it possible, I'm afraid this little time is not enough for you to read it to me. El wiped his cold sweat and quietly bypassed a dangerous topic: "At least I should know what is written in the book in order to find something useful for me." ”

"Then we'd better hurry up. Lolana raised an eyebrow and said unconvinced. She cleared her throat and began to read the second page aloud. In fact, it was not very difficult to simply read the book, and the key was that she also had to translate the Gagar language into the lingua franca in the book. Although the two belong to the same language family, the Gaugal language is cumbersome and detailed because it is dedicated to written records, and the lingua franca is a bit too straightforward, and many special words cannot be fully expressed.

"Is there a copy of this book? I thought it might help me remember the contents while listening to you. El asked, gesturing to the pages of the "Overview of the Human Rune System". Because he and Lolana sat opposite each other, he could only see the text upside down.

"It's a lot of requests, this book is relatively rare, I haven't transcribed it, there should be no copies. Lorana pursed her lips and reluctantly turned to sit down beside El, "So you're satisfied, aren't you?"

"Stupid, if I really wanted to do anything to you, I would have done it a long time ago. El shook his head helplessly, moving a little away. After the injury healed, his perception seemed to have increased a lot, and without deliberately concentrating, he could clearly detect the seductive smell of the girl's body mixed with sweat and some other things, and even hear the girl's heartbeat slightly accelerated due to nervousness.

Although he said no, his body is still quite honest...... El thought maliciously in his heart. Don't look at Lolana now with a straight face and cold words, if she really doesn't want to in her heart, it will definitely not be the attitude she has now, which El can still see.

In the empty dark tower, a beautiful and delicate girl is by her side, and it is difficult for any normal man to hold on to this situation. El is also inevitably distracted, but his body is still weak, and he is really powerless.

The harsh reality inspires El's intense learning, and he is quiet on the surface, but inside he is desperate to find useful answers from this book.
