22. Questions

Ion tried not to look at the patriarch's face, even though the old man was smiling all the time.

But he always felt that the smile would not change for a long time, like a well-executed program.

"They say it will be a discovery that will transcend generations, a pioneering act that will change the course of magic, and will be etched in history forever." Ion spoke the words from the Annals of Magic as they were.

"Hehe...... "The Patriarch said with a kind face, "the Goddess will forgive them for their recklessness and offense." ”

"Two stupid guys who can't keep up with the times...... Let them perish with magic. ”

"Ion."

"I'm here, Patriarch."

"Go, follow the guidance of the Goddess, help the Goddess to come to earth, and you will get what you want."

“...... Yes, Patriarch. ”

......

When Ion left, the glorious and holy church fell into an eerie silence.

The Patriarch, who was slightly hunched, pulled out a thin book from his wide sleeved robe, with the words "Magical Council" written on it.

He turned the first page and looked at the words carefully.

"Underneath the water element, there are smaller elements, which are 'hydrogen' and 'oxygen'......"

"Hehe......"

"Hehe......"

His old but bright smile echoed in the church.

"There can be no mistake with the guidance of the Goddess....... he muttered, suddenly crumpling the book and tearing it whole.

The old man's face was bruised, and he was like a roaring beast.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a short time, it was already Saturday.

The sun sets and rises, it seems that all the good things are still going on, and Jiang Qiao's life has returned to its previous unwavering appearance.

It's just that the influence that the long-haired man brought to him was temporarily hidden.

From the last time he saw Sylvie until now, he hadn't practiced magic again.

The magic array engraved with arc magic on his wrist kept shining a little bit.

As long as the prayer is not performed with a spell, the magic circle will always be within the expiration date.

……

Jiang Qiao pulled up a chair in the office and sat down, next to him was the evening of drinking wolfberry tea.

"You're pretty easygoing." Li Wan glanced at him.

"Thank you, teacher, for the compliment." Ebashi is still very polite.

"Young poor mouth...... Li Wan rolled her eyes, then took out a pile of books from under the desk and put them on the table: "Oh, your textbooks are back for you." ”

"Hey, it's been two weeks...... That's really fast. Jiang Qiao praised it, then picked up the book on the top and turned to the first page, which was Cheng Ruoxi's name.

"Just talk about it in front of me, but don't let the principal hear you." Li Wan always smiled, and never seemed to be really angry with others.

She glanced at the book in Jiang Qiao's hand: "Yo, when did Jiang Daba's words become so delicate...... Wait, this isn't your book, is it? ”

Jiang Qiao hurriedly closed the book, looked at Li Wan's sneering face, and laughed dryly: "This is indeed not mine, my book...... It doesn't know where it has gone. ”

"Oh-" Li Wan stretched out her voice, "It turns out that your book can still run on long legs, it's amazing~"

"Cheng Ruoxi......" She snatched the book from Jiang Qiao's hand, glanced at the name, and was slightly surprised: "How did you get it?" ”

Jiang Qiao asked, "Does the teacher also know Cheng Ruoxi?" ”

Li Wei said angrily: "You are an idiot to be a teacher." ”

Immediately afterwards, she said: "Cheng Ruoxi, every joint entrance examination is firmly ranked in the top three...... Every time we had a meeting, the leaders would pull her out and praise her, and then criticize why we couldn't train such students......"

"I'm too familiar!" Li Wan's eyes were quite resentful.

After thinking for a while, she immediately smiled: "I'm curious, how good is the relationship between you and Cheng Ruoxi, so she will lend you all her textbooks?" I heard that No. 1 Middle School is also collecting textbooks from top students. ”

Beneath her gentle exterior lies a gossipy heart.

"Teacher...... I had something to do, so I'll go first. ”

Jiang Qiao really couldn't bear the heart of such gossip, so he picked up the book and rushed out of the office, leaving behind a series of laughter like silver bells.

......

Saturday evening self-study is always difficult, and the restless atmosphere fills the classroom, and the slightest noise can usually elicit a burst of laughter.

After completing the study task, Jiang Qiao took out the parchment with second-order magic drawn on it as usual and studied it.

"The improvement of elemental affinity also contributes to the improvement of physical fitness."

"The first principle of the magician, to be one with nature."

There are a lot of basic knowledge like this on the parchment, and it is estimated that Sylvi specially marked it for Jiang Qiao to see.

......

The bell rang after class, and he learned a lot in this evening self-study.

Jiang Qiao stretched his waist and looked to the side, Zhou Cheng was lying on the table without saying a word, his face was full of melancholy.

Needless to say, he's still grieving for a certain girl.

Jiang Qiao sighed silently, then patted Zhou Cheng's shoulder and lowered his voice:

"Oranges?"

As a tablemate, it is necessary for him to help Zhou Cheng get on the right track, especially at a critical juncture like the third year of high school.

Zhou Cheng's ranking is at the bottom of the class, and he is not much better in school, and he belongs to the kind of level that is not up or down.

But if it goes on like this, the results will soon slip.

Zhou Cheng glanced at him sadly: "Brother Qiao." ”

"Alas, orange, don't be sad, brother understands your pain, say anything unhappy, let me be happy for a while."

"Brother Qiao, you still have no bottom line as always."

"Come on, isn't it just that the confession was rejected, and as for the two weeks of being depressed?"

Zhou Cheng was stunned: "Who cares about that?" She's just the number one girl I have a crush on. ”

Jiang Qiao was also stunned: "Then why are you so sad?" ”

"No, I'm just suffering from hemorrhoids."

Jiangqiao: ......

"By the way, Brother Qiao, I remembered Luo Shanshan as soon as you mentioned it," Zhou Cheng said, "She recently found a boyfriend, outside the school, and that person is said to be asking you all over the world, you have to be careful." ”

Jiang Qiao was surprised: "It's not good for me? Why? Do I know him well? ”

Zhou Cheng's face became serious, and he didn't know if he was worried about hemorrhoids or worried about Jiang Qiao: "That person is a gangster outside the school, and he dropped out of school very early, Brother Qiao, you definitely don't know him." ”

"But Luo Shanshan knows you, it is estimated that the man inquired, Luo Shanshan confessed to you and was angry with you and cried, hey, don't you want to come to find trouble?"

Jiang Qiao looked indifferent: "Come on, come here so that he knows what the end of campus bullying is." ”

Zhou Cheng was skeptical: "Brother Qiao, that's not a joke, he has this in his hand." ”

The little fat man gestured with a neck.

"Knives?"

"That's right, he went in the other day because of a fight."

Zhou Cheng was worried: "Brother Qiao, why don't we talk to the teacher, or...... Call the police, it's not worth fighting with that kind of person. ”
