Chapter 3: Strange talk
Life is boring, people are boring creatures, and because of this, people's lives need the spice of strange talk. There are also strange rumors in the Knight Academy, that nothing is impossible in a world full of magic. Grievances are just a small part of the story, and there are even more bizarre things to be talked about by children.
Recently, a new strange story has appeared within the Academy: the Howling Corner. More than one person heard a dull female voice faintly coming from the northeast corner of the academy, and was even able to hear something substantial from it. From time to time, the girls of the Golden Rose Magic Knights heard these funny or scary remarks from the occasional students, and they couldn't help but be a little interested.
The girls only train during the day, and spend most of their free time at night, except for Marshall, most of the rest of the team stay in their dormitories, falling asleep. Zibelin occasionally went to see Marshall's training and chatted with her, and the interaction was limited. As a result, most of the communication was left in the three meals.
"Yuri, have you ever heard of a crying corner in the school? This strange thing has been spreading a lot among boys lately! Ilya excitedly chatted with Yuri, "It's very close to our dormitory!" ”
"I ...... To be honest, I'm afraid of ghosts. Yuri said uneasily, "I don't want to go there, don't drag me along." ”
Ilya puffed out her mouth and rolled her eyes widely, "Just to talk to you, I think it's funny." I made a point of asking someone passing by—"
"-You still have that idleness!" Ellie ate the food on her plate and raised her eyebrows, "What did you inquire about?" ”
Ilya said matter-of-factly: "It is said that there is a real basis behind this strange story. One of my relatives, not my brothers, of course, had word that a girl had been sent in a corner of our school that had been transformed by a very powerful magical pattern, and that not a single part of her body was intact. ”
"Demonic Fabric?" Marshall only cared about what he cared about, "I don't really know what this thing is. ”
"It's a magic pattern equipment that is artificially engraved on the body, similar to armor, but if you draw it directly with a special pen, you usually need magic to activate it." "I've heard from the boys that the girl's demonic pattern is too powerful, but the side effects are so great that she is in great pain and unable to move. ”
Zibelin wondered, "Then why was she sent here?" ”
"I don't know......" Ilya shrugged, "probably because of some shady secret...... That's right, the secret of the unseemly! ”
Zibelin pursed his lips: "Don't guess, it's easy to be scared if you think too much." ”
"I'm not like you coward!" Ilya glared at him, showing no weakness, "Anyway, the place where the rumors are rumored is very close to us, so we can't go once at night." ”
Yuri was afraid of these things, so he sided with Zibelin: "If you want to go yourself, most of the time it's empty." ”
Marshall listened with relish, but for this kind of thing, she still wanted to be a bystander and just watch the excitement. She has more important things to do, just relax and relax, and don't have to dig into it. That night, she continued to do additional training in the corner of the training ground, not only did she need to follow the instructions of [Golden Rose] to do professional physical training, but also to further improve her marksmanship. After all, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and during this period of time, she at least changed from a shooting blind to a myopic patient.
Zibelin also came today, and she watched Marshall train, occasionally moving twice according to the gourd's drawing, and almost strained her muscles before giving up. She almost strained her muscles every time she drew a scoop with a gourd, and she didn't know what this guy's body was like......
"A body that has been engraved with a magic pattern will always be slightly worse than a body that has not been imprinted." Marshall naturally grabbed the towel that was set aside, "This may be considered a lost horse." Besides, I have something else to make up for my lack of access to spells. ”
"What do you think of that rumor that Ilya said during the day?" Zibelin suddenly asked this question today, which surprised Marshall a little.
Marshall frowned and said, "What do you mean......"
"Because my father told me that the Primordial Church had really sent something to this academy lately," Zibelin whispered, "and it was probably the culprit of the strange story." ”
"The original church? How could the Knight Academy be connected to the Primordial Church? Marshall thought for a moment, the original church was only associated with King Charles, and he was sent here by Charles, and said, "I don't understand." ”
"Would you like to take a look? What are the howling corners of the boys talking about? Zibelin blinked expectantly, "I always feel a little relieved to have you. ”
Marshall thought for a moment, picked up the magic sword in his hand, and said half-angrily: "If you are really attacked by some ghost, I can't save you, since you want to see it, then it doesn't hurt to take a look." ”
It was dark, and there was no light in the place where the girls lived except for the dormitory area, and the two gradually moved away from the training ground, and the lights behind them were out of reach, and the darkness was like a blanket, slowly falling from the sky and covering everything in the world. The magic moon above their heads was a bright blue, and there were two light clouds floating in the sky, dyed a pleasant bright blue.
The environment is painted a cool blue, and the surrounding environment has become cold, perhaps it is the afterglow of early spring, and it has not yet stopped. The two of them walked slowly towards the rumored place through the shoeless grass.
A gust of wind blew by, and the two of them only heard a slight low whistle drifting in the wind: "Woo...... Woo...... Woohoo......"
"This, that's what you said? Or is it the wind? Zibelin suddenly stiffened his face in fright, "It's still ......"
"Shhhhh......h
The more she walked in, this kind of half-painful, half-confused, and a little chaotic moaning became more obvious, Marshall obviously felt the strength in her hand increase, but her curiosity couldn't help but let her go forward, and now it was Marshall who dragged Zibelin forward, one after the other, and the body of the one behind couldn't help but lean back, for fear that some demons and monsters would rush over and swallow her.
"By the way, you engraved the magic pattern, why did the things that didn't light the light come out?" Marshall turned his head and said.
"Oh, oh! I almost forgot! Only then did Zibelin chant the demon and hold up a white ball of light for lighting, although the effect was not very good, but it was also appropriate to make the surrounding scene a little clearer.
The two finally determined that the cry came from a small door in the corner, and the door was connected by a staircase facing down, and when the two approached, the light source in Zibelin's hand seemed to be sucked in by something inside the door, and only the faces of the two could be illuminated.
Zibelin's face was in a trance, she looked at Marshall, who was pale, and stammered, "Yes, or not...... Shall we go back? I thought this weird talk was just fun......"
"No, let's go down." Marshall frowned, dragged Zibelin, and stepped onto the narrow and steep staircase without hesitation.
Sincere...... Sincere...... Sincere......
Zibelin looked frightenedly at the dark and hollow surroundings, and his ears were filled with the sound of shoes on the stairs. The trail is so long and narrow that it seems like it can't be walked at all. She probably remembered that there should have been a large auditorium directly above where they were, and that it was not usually usable, and that the dusty door would only be opened when something big happened.
