Chapter XXVIII
In addition, the difficulty of casting Muggle expulsion is also due to the fact that the magic power that is now expanding is not actually his own in a sense.
As mentioned earlier, the magic of the Marvel Universe comes from two main sources.
One is the development of one's own spiritual power, thinking therefore I am, using one's own faith, will, and determination to construct a source of energy that is unique to oneself, thereby influencing the real world.
The other is to obtain energy from various dimensional creatures, demon gods, and magical creatures through contracts or other means.
There are pros and cons to both methods, the former attributes great power to oneself and does not need to rely on the power of the outside world and other dimensions, but the progress is slow, and it is not uncommon for ten years of practice to be better than a moment of mutation.
The latter grows rapidly, but whether it is through contracts or other means, the borrowed power is not their own after all, and if something goes wrong, they will lose their magic power or be eaten by the power.
Gu Chongyan's expanding magic power at this moment, in essence, was the demonic power that the beast had poured into Su Yan's body, but it was only stolen by him with magic and transformed into his own magic power.
The source of this power is still the beast, not himself.
It's just that in this game, he is in the dominant position, and he is able to ignore the will of the beast and forcibly plunder this power, but this cannot change the fact that this power does not belong to him.
Gu Chongyan brought Su Yan home, not only because he could ensure that Su Yan would not be discovered by Father Langton, but more importantly, once Su Yan died, the link between him and the beast would also be broken, and the expanding magic power would instantly return to its original form.
The reason for this defect is that the beast has not been completely solved, he has only opened the door to the vault, and there is still a lack of wagons capable of transporting gold.
Fortunately, he already has an idea of how to get the car.
Early the next morning, when Gu Chongyan went downstairs to find something to eat for Su Yan, he was surprised to find that Father Langton, who usually rushed to church early, was sitting on the sofa.
"Priest?"
"Good morning, Sean, did you sleep well last night?" Father Langton laughed.
Hearing the words last night, Gu Chongyan, who had a ghost in his heart, subconsciously glanced at his room, could it be that he went out at night and was discovered by the other party?
Seeing that the Muggle expulsion technique outside the room had not failed, Gu Chongyan breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was or not, at least Su Yan would not be discovered.
Trying to stay calm, Gu Chongyan walked to the refrigerator casually and poured himself a glass of milk.
"Well, it's not bad, don't you have to go to church today?"
Father Langton smiled, "Of course I want to go, but before I do, my dear, I need to talk to you. ”
Talk, talk about what?
Gu Chongyan's mood became a little more nervous, did he really find something?
All along, he didn't know what to do with Father Langton, who was a father-like character to his predecessor, but to him, he was just a stranger.
Fortunately, the English word "father" can mean both father and priest, and no matter what the listener thinks he is addressing, he knows the priest he is calling anyway.
Therefore, after such a long time, the relationship between him and Father Langton is actually more polite than close.
The other party suddenly wanted to talk, so he really didn't know how to deal with it.
However, with the other party's gentle eyes, he seemed to have no other choice but to agree.
"OK, if you need it."
Sitting uncomfortably next to Father Langton, he heard him say, "Honey, Ms. Maria called me yesterday and she told me that you seem to be a little uncomfortable in school lately, and your grades are slipping rapidly. ”
"Can you tell me why, is it because of the course, or which girl do you fall in love with?"
"Whatever it is, I have to tell you that although I am a priest of the church, I am not a stubborn and conservative person, and you can share any questions with me if you want, OK?"
Hearing this, Gu Chongyan was a little dumbfounded.
He had just thought about it for a long time, and he thought that Father Langton had found out that he had snuck out at night.
But I didn't expect that it was because the teacher called to say that there was a problem with learning.
It's really no wonder that he didn't expect it, after all, after three lifetimes, how could he think of himself as an ordinary high school student, every day his mind is full of how to recover his magic power, improve his strength, go to school as if he was clocking in at work, and signing in to the game.
God knows, when Father Langton mentioned Lady Maria, he thought for a moment before he remembered who the other person was.
However, I can't imagine that I can't imagine that I can't think of it, but in fact, a person of my age is still being called home by a teacher, even with Gu Chongyan's thick skin, I feel a little unbearable.
Squeezing out an embarrassed smile and laughing twice, Gu Chongyan had to deny it again and again under Father Langton's curious gaze.
"No, no, no, no, I'm just, I've just been a little troubled lately, and I don't have any other problems, sorry Father, I'm worried about you."
Hearing this, Father Langton smiled even more gently.
"No, no, honey, you don't have to tell me I'm sorry, we're family, and that's what I'm supposed to do."
"Are you really sure there's no problem, though? I just want you to understand that although we are not related by blood, we have been the closest family since the day you came to this family. ”
"If you need to, you have to speak, okay?"
Gu Chongyan's heart warmed at Father Langton's sincere eyes, no wonder the original body would treat the other party as a father, in terms of personality charm, Father Langton was indeed a very good father.
Looking at Father Langton seriously, he shook his head gently, "Thank you, Father, but I really don't have any problems, and I will speak if necessary." ”
Seeing that Gu Chongyan was serious, Father Langton didn't say anything more, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Well, since you said so, then I'm relieved, you're about to graduate in half a year, how are you preparing for the SAT or ACT?"
"It's going to be a holiday soon, do you want to do those social practice activities? Do you want to do odd jobs as before? Or volunteering? ”
Hearing this, Gu Chongyan, who didn't have the slightest understanding of his studies, realized that he was already in his fourth year of high school, and according to the life trajectory of ordinary people, he was about to prepare for the university entrance examination.
Different from the domestic college entrance examination, in America, whether or not to be admitted to the university is composed of three aspects.
SAT or ACT test scores, the usual scores of four years of high school, as well as various on-campus and off-campus activities, social practices, public welfare undertakings, etc., all determine whether a person is admitted to the university.
