Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 127 Rotating Book House
Alan looked at her stunned, vaguely feeling that she had something to say, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Good night. With that, Cynthia gave Alan an elusive smile and walked into the dorm building.
Alan's cheeks were a little inexplicably hot, and he stood there stunned for a while before he remembered that it had been past nine o'clock for a long time, and he had to hurry back.
Luckily, their dorm building wasn't too far away, and when he reached the door, he found Will still standing.
"If you don't come back, I'll probably have to look for you again. Will looked at him and said, "It seems that having someone with you makes you feel very comfortable." ”
"Sorry, uh...... I just want to watch the night view in the square, and I forget the time. Allen's face turned red again, and he asked a little strangely, "But how did you know that someone was with me?"
"You don't have such a strong perfume smell on you when you go to the square. ”
Alan sniffed the cuffs, only to realize that it was the perfume that had been stained on Racincia's arm when she was on her arm, and smiled sheepishly.
"I hope you don't forget about the rest of the day, because tomorrow will be different. Will added, "I can protect you for breaking the rules, but it will be very difficult for me if it reaches Mr. Winslow." ”
"Okay, I remember. Alan said yes and hurried to the stairs.
But at this time, Will seemed to see something in the Four Seasons Garden, stunned for a moment, stared closely at the direction that Alan had just come from, and said softly "Huh?" in his mouth.
"What's wrong?" asked Allen, noticing his strangeness. He also looked in the direction Will was staring, but saw nothing.
Will turned his head and looked at Alan with a puzzled expression: "Excuse me, who were you with just now?"
"Uh, it's Cynthia. ”
"Cynthia?"
"The second lady of the Winslow family, Cynthia Winslow. After answering Will's question, Alan also asked strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Will bowed his head and was silent for a while before raising his head and saying, "It's okay...... Just wanted to remind you that it's better to have less to do with the Winslow family. ”
Remembering that old Seapheus had said something similar, Alan wanted to ask something, but Will had already opened his mouth again: "Please hurry back to your room and rest." Good night. ”
"Hmm......" Alan nodded and went upstairs, "Good night." ”
If you don't count the two days of the middle of the month, a new learning cycle has already begun for three days, and Alan has not yet been exposed to the new course. He just listened to Riel come back and tell him roughly what he had said, and the rest was up to him to read the book on his own, which made him a little worried about whether he could keep up. And the first week had already passed, and although the two days of the month were not counted in the study cycle, the second week was already halfway over, and there were only four days left before Professor Stubone left him, but he still hadn't found a department that suited his magical nature.
"Could it be that I've had to take all the lessons every week for the past three years?" Alan couldn't help but think as he washed up. Although he didn't hate studying and coped with the first week of classes quite well, the thought of keeping it that way for three years made him feel uneasy.
In the end, though, he decided to put this thorny issue behind him, finish the rest of the week's lessons, and discuss it with Professor Stubone before making plans.
Although when Alan lay down, he found that the strange drum beat did not seem to have stopped. But because he hadn't been out for a long time, he suddenly increased his activity today, and he felt quite tired now, and he didn't have the heart to think about other issues, so he quickly fell asleep.
This sleep is not unexpected, and I sleep soundly.
The next morning, when Alan woke up, he found that the campus was already bustling.
"They're back?" he tried to check on the balcony, but as soon as he got out of bed, the door was pushed open.
"Hey, looks like I got up earlier than you today!" Rare looked energetic, "Looks like you've got a good foot injury?"
"Hmm. Alan smiled and said, "You seem to be having a good time, too?"
He didn't seem to be growing taller after two days, although Alan knew it was just an illusion.
His hair was cut much shorter, and he was carrying two small cages covered by a black cloth in his hands, and handed one of them to Allen: "Well, in order to make up for your regret that you couldn't go to Krivari, I brought it to you." ”
"What's that?" Alan asked, taking it.
This cage is not much bigger than a slap, just enough to hold in one hand.
"Just open it and see. Riel said mysteriously.
Alan slowly lifted the corner of the black cloth and found that inside the cage was a bird that was also the size of a palm, with colorful feathers on its body, and was tilting its head to look at Alan with small eyes.
"What is this?" said Allen, curious.
"A pocket memory bird. This is what I saw in a pet store, and you usually have a lot of classes, and I think you might be able to use them. Riel lifted the curtain on the other side and explained, "Birds don't scream at all, they only speak when they're hungry or when you've forgotten something. ”
"Forgot something?"
"Yes, he can't speak, but this little thing is smart and has a great memory. For example, if you tell him in advance, you have dinner at seven o'clock, and if you are still sitting at the table at that time, it will call you to remind you that you have other things to do. ”
"This is amazing!" Alan said excitedly, "so that I can concentrate on reading with peace of mind, and my efficiency may be more than doubled!"
"After all, a bird of this size is worth six gold coins!" Seeing that Eren likes Riel, he is naturally very happy.
However, Alan glanced at the other small cage and asked, "And what is this?"
"Ah...... It's a memorization bird in it, but it's just ......" Riel said, half of the excitement on his face vanished.
Alan looked at him puzzled.
Riel hesitated for a long time before he said, "This is for Alyssa." ”
"For her?" Alan was a little curious, "Then why did you bring it back...... Didn't you act together?"
As soon as he said this, this Riel couldn't help but sigh: "It's not that they didn't act together...... She didn't go at all. ”
Alan was a little surprised when he heard the news: "Why...... Are you feeling unwell?"
It turned out that it wasn't just Cynthia, Alyssa didn't even go.
"I don't know......," Riel said, with a look of loss, "she didn't say anything. ”
"Didn't you tell me before that she kept talking about going to the Rose Curtain Wall?"
"Alas...... Who knows......" Riel sighed again, a little distraught, and sat down on the bed without speaking.
At this time, the Laven brothers also pushed the door in, and Alan didn't want to ask anything more, so he didn't say anything more after a brief hello to Ian.
It wasn't until noon that she returned to her room and said, "It's Tuesday." ”
"That's right. ”
"When you go to class that afternoon, give this to Alyssa for me......" Rare said, handing over another small cage.
"It's better for you to give her such a valuable gift in person. Alan thought for a moment and said, "I asked her out for dinner after class in the afternoon, and the three of us haven't eaten together for a long time." ”
"That'...... It's okay......" Riel looked hesitant, but finally reluctantly agreed, "I'm going to take a nap, I'm going to wake up before six o'clock in the morning." ”
Alan couldn't sleep at all, and watched the bird carefully.
In order to verify whether it really reminded him to forget something, he also made a point of explaining to it that he had a class to attend in the afternoon, and asked it to wake him up at two o'clock on time. In fact, he was just lying in bed, and he stayed awake all the time.
As a result, just as the clock struck two o'clock, it began to chirp on time.
It is more crisp than the call of the chiming bird, and after listening to it, it will make people feel inexplicably comfortable and full of strength. And even better, Alan just looked up at it, and it immediately stopped.
Still, Riel slept soundly, as if he hadn't slept well last night.
Alan pulled out the textbook he needed and hurried to the Elemental Tower.
When he arrived, he found that Cynthia was already waiting for him at the old place again.
"You came just in time for something to look for you. Cynthia said as soon as they met.
"What's the matter?"
"While class isn't in class yet, come with me to Professor Stubourne. Cynthia said as she walked down the stairs.
"What are you looking for him?" asked Allen, curious.
"Don't ask about this, just do as I say. Cynthia looked up and said, "Help me find room 601, that's his office." ”
Although it is not uncommon to see Cynthia's slightly strong personality, it still makes Alan feel a little uncomfortable.
The two of them looked up for a while before they realized that the room with the door number 601 written on it was actually only about the height of the third floor.
"I don't know if he's ...... You are waiting for me at the door. Cynthia said and knocked on the door.
"Please come in. Professor Stubourne's voice immediately rang out from inside the room.
Cynthia pushed the door open.
"Oh! I thought it was, it was you!" Professor Stubone sat at his desk and didn't know what he was doing, only his head was exposed, and when he saw Cynthia coming in, he quickly jumped down from his high stool, "Excuse me, why are you coming to me now?"
"I'd like to borrow you the key to the revolving bookhouse. Cynthia didn't say anything polite to him, and said straight to the point.
"Huh?" Professor Stubone was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, "Huh...... This one...... I think you probably know that it's a place where only some professors are allowed to go, and students are not allowed to enter...... Unless there is some special reason ......"
"I have something I don't understand. Cynthia said, "Is that a good reason?"
"Uh...... You may be able to go to the library ......," Professor Stubone said in a consultative tone.
"It's too much trouble, my time is precious!"
"Then maybe you can ask your professor......
"They can't tell!" Cynthia interrupted, staring at him intensely.
"Uh......" Professor Stubone hesitated.
"If it weren't for my grandfather's recent absence from school, I don't think I would have bothered you. Cynthia said.
"Alright then!" Professor Stubourne resolutely agreed, but added a little uneasily, "But please try to avoid crowded times...... Otherwise, it will be difficult for me......"
"You can rest assured that there are very few people in the library around eight o'clock in the evening. Cynthia's expression softened a little, revealing a satisfied smile, "And we don't have much to look for...... It will be out soon. ”
