Chapter 50: Duncan's Age
"What's that look on your face? Am I not writing well? The Demon King said and flipped it open, "I'll tell you about my creative ideas for each plot." ”
The Demon King flipped through his hand like this, looking at it as he flipped it.
Flip and flip.
Flip and flip.
The more he turned it, the more solemn his expression became.
At the end, the Demon King's face was so solemn that it seemed to be dripping water.
Syllable.
The Demon King closed the book and swallowed before saying:
"I'm sorry, I was so boastful...... There's a little bit of exaggeration.
"Actually, this book is my debut novel after becoming a writer, it belongs to my early works, the writing techniques and plot coordination are not skilled enough, and the overall quality is relatively average."
You can quite say that...... Russell and Wind Chime's eyes narrowed slightly, quietly watching the Demon King perform.
Both of them are well aware of how messy and fragmented the plot of the book is, and often a line suddenly breaks in the middle of writing, and there is no follow-up at all.
The perspective is also messy, and there is not even the protagonist!
"Mr. Demon King. The book "Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir" that we have on hand now is indeed the version created by Ling? I think the plot of this book is a bit weird, are there any traces of deliberate modifications? Russell asked.
Combined with the anomalies shown in this book, Russell suspects that someone has deliberately modified the plot to accomplish some occult purpose, to achieve certain rituals or spells.
The Thorn Bird has extraordinary abilities associated with it!
"Nope." The Demon King replied in the affirmative:
"Although the standard was a little worse than I expected, the specific plot was the same as I remembered, and I could even remember how I wrote each chapter.
"It's definitely because my current level of writing and appreciation has improved again, so when I look at my previous works, I feel like 'it's just like that'.
"Well, it must be like that."
Russell cast a suspicious look at the Demon King, and muttered silently in his heart:
Mr. Demon King, you can really write before...... Such a garbage thing? No problem, right?
It's not that he wants to mock Mr. Demon King, it's just that the plot of this book is too weird, there is neither a main line nor a branch, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, not like a carbon-based creature can come up with it.
Even though the Demon King had already said so, Russell still suspected that there were secrets hidden in this book that he didn't know!
"Mr. Demon King, let's continue.
"You want to refine a medicine that allows human beings to achieve the sublimation of the life level, have you succeeded? What happened after that? ”
Speaking of this, the vicissitudes of life resurfaced on the handsome and resolute face of the Demon King:
"I've failed many times and have not succeeded. Until one day, I met a partner. She claims to have similar goals to me. ”
"Who?" Russell asked hurriedly, vaguely having an answer in his mind.
"Thorn Bird." The Demon King spat out the name.
Hearing this name, the wind chimes awakened a little memory of his life, and the fragments of his tragic death were staggered and replayed in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
The Demon King said slowly:
However, the Thorn Bird was the code name she used after she entered school.
"She is a spellcaster who appears frequently in many legends and myths, and has many names, the most famous of which is, Baba Yaga."
Baba Yaga.
When he heard the name, Russell suddenly remembered a lot, and his thoughts raced.
Combined with the words that the Arctic Wolf said when he was hypnotized before, it seems that the mysterious woman who helped the Arctic Wolf complete its spiritual awakening and control the White Wolf Club behind the scenes is the Thorn Bird.
In this way, when the thorn bird spoke to me, it did show some kindness, and did not deceive me.
Well, there's no need to deceive me either. As long as I came into contact with the Demon King, I would have known this information sooner or later, and if the Demon King hadn't appeared, I would have been captured by her long ago.
Russell informed Duncan of his idea.
"That's it, Mr. Headmaster, the mysterious woman who helps the Arctic Wolves cheat and directs the Arctic Wolves behind the scenes is the Thorn Bird.
"Although we don't yet know what the true purpose of the Thorn Bird Senpai is, since she is already an enemy of the Academy, I think it is necessary to keep an eye on the Arctic Wolf Classmate."
Duncan nodded slightly, agreeing with Russell's suggestion.
Now that the protective barrier of the academy has been completely unfolded, even all electromagnetic signals have been monitored, and the thorn bird will most likely not be able to contact the Arctic wolf or other eyeliners in the academy, but it is still necessary to monitor the Arctic wolf.
Referring to this, Duncan added:
"I've also reported the suspicion of the Thorn Bird to the World Occult Council. If nothing else, this senior sister may soon become a wanted criminal. ”
After speaking, Duncan looked at the Demon King, the erudite headmaster of the academy, and his eyes actually showed a little surprise:
"Is the former college graduate Thorn Bird the same Baba Yaga in Slavic fairy tales? Or is it just using the legendary name as your codename? ”
"As far as I know, she is the prototype of those fairy tales, and of course, after generations of adaptation and word of mouth, these legends have long been far from what they really are." The Demon King replied.
Duncan's mouth was wide open, and he looked incredulous:
"The question is, isn't the legendary Baba Yaga an old witch? She's supposed to be an old woman, right? Could it be that Baba Yaga used some powerful secret technique to rejuvenate and rejuvenate forever? ”
Isn't it a little strange that you're asking this question, Headmaster? Russell looked at the headmaster who looked like a young boy in front of him speechlessly.
Noticing the strangeness of Russell's gaze, Duncan immediately explained:
"I'm in a different situation. Although I have been rejuvenated by magic, it does not affect the aging of my soul, nor can I increase my lifespan for a long time. But the legend of Baba Yaga is at least a thousand years old, right? Has the thorn bird survived until now? ”
"Wait, Mr. Headmaster, does that mean your rejuvenation is only for the body, and the soul is still aging?" Russell asked, slightly surprised.
He had never deliberately learned about it before, and he had not taught it in class.
"Yes, that's true of all the rejuvenation spells in the world. Although I was able to keep my childlike appearance, the aging of my soul was inevitable, and I could not achieve eternal life. Duncan replied as if by illustrating common sense.
As he spoke, a touch of pretended vicissitudes appeared on the boy's face. Duncan pressed his chest with his small, slender hand:
"Even though my appearance is youthful and beautiful, my hundred-year-old soul is approaching twilight. The state of mind of an elderly person like me, it's normal for you children to not understand. ”
The jaws of the wind chimes on the side are about to fall:
"What, Mr. Headmaster, are you already a centenarian? I can't see it at all. ”
She couldn't connect Mr. Principal's usual performance with a mature and stable old principal.
Duncan hurriedly defended:
"I'm hormonally affected. I'm still small, and children's hormones will definitely make me more active, right? This definitely doesn't mean that I was like this before I was rejuvenated. You have to be a little bit scientific! ”
The Demon King was just about to continue talking, but Russell hurriedly asked:
"Mr. Headmaster, it turns out that the magic of rejuvenation can't significantly increase lifespan?"
