"A smart gambler never makes a one-time stud when he places a bet. Because they know they are gambling, their exposure is always kept to the maximum. ”

"There is no shame in being in awe of what you don't know, and as long as you live, you will always have the opportunity to learn more. ”

Speaking of this, the rat immortal lowered his hand and tapped the yellowed parchment on the table, and said in a slightly accentuated tone: "This magic array is like this, and so are the demons...... You think I have nothing to do with demons, how much do you know about the nature of demons, how much do you think schools will stop demons from entering campuses, and how much do you know about First University policymakers?"

It let out a short, but piercing laugh, as if it were annotating two of his questions.

The witch's eyebrows furrowed, and a cautious expression appeared on her face.

This kind of knowledge involving the secrets of the wizarding world is not much known even if she is the vice president of the student council. Not to mention that she was born in the northern district of Beta, a magical wasteland recognized by the wizarding world.

The rat fairy didn't seem to intend to give detailed answers to its two questions, and the conversation turned back to its story:

"Enhancing the mana response through demonic stimulation to increase the success rate of wizards when advancing is the main focus of my lab's original research project. To put it simply, mana has a stress-like response to demonic energy, which can promote multiple transformations of demonic energy in a short period of time, thereby improving the quality of mana...... Until the wizard could not bear this transformation, and finally accepted the transformation of the demonic qi and became a fallen wizard. ”

"At that time, our research had reached the stage of 'measuring the dosage limit of demonic qi erosion', that is, arranging different control groups to determine what concentration and dose of demonic qi could maximize the potential of magic without negatively affecting wizards. ”

When mentioning these experiments, there was still a hint of pride and yearning on the face of the rat immortal.

But soon, that brilliance is lost in the story's development.

“...... The accident of the demonic energy leak caused the laboratory to fall into a level 5 lockdown. We wore protective clothing and withstood the erosion of high concentrations of demonic energy...... Can't get out. There's no way to meet people, and you can't contact normal wizards outside. ”

"The whole lab has become a big 'sandbox'. ”

"The school didn't give up on us. Wizards from many other labs have been arranged to help us stabilize the state, control the demonic erosion process, and neutralize the leaking contaminants in the lab...... And help us get in touch with our family. ”

"Juice was not yet three years old at the time, and although she was very smart, she was only a child after all, and she couldn't sleep well at night without her mother. So the principal came up with a good idea and made two double-way mirrors, one hanging on the head of the juice's bed, and the other stuffed into the laboratory through a special channel. ”

"Through that mirror, Juice can hear our voices, see our false images, we can hear her voice, we can see her appearance. She showed us how to change our diapers, how to mix cereal with hot milk, and we told her bedtime Grimm's fairy tales and sang lullabies. ”

"Why is it a false image, you ask? It's because of the demonic erosion, which has caused a huge change in the image of everyone in the lab, including me...... Very bad changes. It's so bad that Juice would never think that the mess of rotten meat on the other side of the mirror is his father or mother. ”

“...... With the two-way mirror, we are already satisfied. ”

Juice grabbed the little mirror all day and called Mom and Dad. Every day, she's on the other side of the mirror, and we're on the other side of the mirror. Listen to her babble from babbling to school, listen to her whisper that the nanny cooks badly, that the old man who taught her magic is a fool and loves to sleep, and that she counts the days we will go home with her fingers. ”

"Because the principal told him that her parents were away from home...... Will be back soon. ”

"Three, four, five, six, seven......"

"As we get older, Juice becomes more and more reluctant to talk to us in the mirror. She started to think we lied to her. Because the 'soon' of 'soon' never came. ”

"When I was eight years old, the juice didn't bother us all winter. ”

"We can understand that. So I worked harder to do experiments, do analysis, and do calculations. I hope to recover soon and go back to reunite with her as soon as possible. ”

"When Juice was ten years old, the seal on the lab was finally lifted by the school. ”

"We've also reinstated our wizarding status and returned to the sun. ”

I took my wife's hand and walked out into the sun from the dark laboratory, looking at the dazzling sun, like a bright smile like a juice. The wife's hands were cold and they were shaking all the time. ”

"The principal, dressed in black robes, was waiting for us outside the laboratory building. ”

"He came up to me and slapped me in the face. ”

A hard slap made me dizzy. ”

"I was crying and laughing like a fool and asked him, 'Where's the juice?

"The principal handed me a small box with a two-way mirror in it, exactly like the other mirror that my wife was holding in her hand. ”

"My wife's face turned pale, and she clutched my hands painfully, and asked again, 'Where's the juice?'"

The headmaster did not speak. ”

I frantically snatched the two-way mirror from my wife's hand and shouted out the name of the juice. ”

The mirror reacted quickly. ”

"The ten-year-old juice poked his head out of the bed, showing a lazy expression that hadn't woken up yet, and asked 'What are you doing?' this weekend, I'm going to sleep lazy ......."

"I was really stupid. ”

"If the headmaster gave us a mirror of Juice, where is Juice now?"

"The headmaster stood in the sun, his voice as bitter cold as the winter wind, 'Juice is a very talented child. Stronger than both of you. At the age of five, she learned the art of precise retreat. When she was eight years old, she said she was going to surprise you with a birthday. I thought she was just trying to show off the new spell she had just learned. Unexpectedly, she escaped into the mirror. I want to travel through the mirror world to find you. ’”

"'The world in the mirror is part of an illusory space-time, and even I can easily get lost in it. The Headmaster's voice was much older than before, and he spoke slowly and cruelly, 'On your birthday, Juice escaped into the world of mirrors. Never came out again. ’”

"My wife was already very weak. After hearing this, he suddenly collapsed, and the balance between demonic energy and demonic power, which was barely maintained, was suddenly broken, and he completely turned into a demon. The headmaster did not resist, and allowed her to attack indiscriminately. ”

I didn't resist, but she didn't bother to look at me. ”

The rat fairy cried as he spoke.

Cloudy tears flowed down its criss-crossed wrinkles, Colmar had never seen such a sad moment for the old man.

Looking at the weeping old wizard, the witch didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only stretch out her finger and touch the tips of its claws lightly.

The rat immortal sobbed, retracted his paws, and wiped his face haphazardly:

"I'm not telling you this story to stop you from doing tomorrow. Rather, I want to tell you that there are many critical moments in life, and there are also many precious things, and we can never grasp everything, but we can choose to master the right one. ”

"Magic is the greatest wonder of the universe. ”
