Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 147 The Wind and Snow of October
In order to leave early the next morning, the two of them slept very early tonight.
However, shortly after midnight, Alan and Riel were woken up by a noise outside the window at the same time, "woo-woo", like the wailing of some animal.
They both rubbed their eyes and sat up from the bed.
"What's calling it?" Riel was furious by the voice, and the question he asked was a bit outrageous, "The beasts around here?"
Alan shook his head: "How is it possible, this is a school...... And if it's a beast, there should always be a time to gasp, right? But this voice ......."
"Hmm...... It didn't ......stop," and at this time, Riel was also fully conscious, and he could hear the voice not far from them, "It seems to be coming from the garden?"
"I'll take a look. With that, Alan put on his clothes and got out of bed.
The October night was already very cold, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he opened the window, he felt a cold wind blowing in his face, which made him shiver and get goosebumps all over his body. The coat he was wearing was also blown off.
"It's so cold!" Alan was startled, and reflexively closed the window again.
But he could already hear it at this moment, and the sound of "whining" turned out to be the sound of the wind, judging from the direction from which the sound came, probably caused by the wind passing through the path between the library and the auditorium.
"Wow, what's going on at this temperature...... Seems like it's going to be winter all of a sudden?" Rare was also blown away by the cold wind, and suddenly wrapped the quilt around his body.
The two of them looked out the window curiously.
Through the faint light of the garden, they found that the Four Seasons Garden had been blown away by the strong wind. It was worse than the last time it rained, and it only blew the flowers off, and soon after, the garden was full of fragrance, but this time the wind was so strong that almost all the flowers and plants were uprooted, and no one was spared.
Look at the sky again, a large area of dark clouds and black pressure, like a thick quilt covering the sky, without a trace of starlight.
"Wow, what's going on, isn't the sky full of stars before we go to bed......" Riel was confused by the unusual weather, "There was a bit of a foreboding before the rain last time, and the weather changed too quickly this time......"
"yes...... The weather in Krivari is unpredictable......" Alan nodded and said, "According to this situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to go anywhere today......"
"What a hell!" "Riel was so angry that he couldn't sleep, and cursed, "When will the sky change, but I have to wait until today!"
"Alas......" Alan sighed as well. Originally, he also really wanted to go to Shili Maple Leaf Road to see. Autumn leaves, white clouds, and blue skies, this is the scenery he has been looking forward to for a long time, and just thinking about it makes people feel relaxed.
"Sleep. After a long time, Alan said, "Let's visit Alyssa tomorrow, and then go to the library." ”
Riel sulked for a while, and when he realized that the weather didn't change in any way because of his swearing, he stopped complaining and went back to rest.
However, after lying down, Alan found that in addition to the noisy wind, there seemed to be other sounds.
Riel was going to sleep, but when he turned over, he noticed that there seemed to be more than the wind, so he whispered, "Hey, I said...... Did you hear anything else?"
"Uh-huh......" Alan had already put his ear to the pillow by this time. He held his breath and listened for a few moments, realizing that the other sounds were the same drumbeats he had heard twice!
Riel followed his example and put his ear to the pillow, and then asked with a look of surprise, "Is it possible...... That's all those weird drumbeats you talked about?"
"Yes, that's it. Alan was still listening, because the drums were beating differently today, very rapid and messy, and the frequencies of the first two times were slow.
"What the hell is this......" Riel was interested, first with his ear on his pillow for a few moments, then against the walls and floor, and finally all the way to the doorway.
Alan was amused by his actions and wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh when he heard Riel's next sentence.
The voice...... Seems to have come from the underground in the east?"
"Underground in the east?" Alan was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of a place.
Riel obviously thought of it too, and asked with a little hesitation, "Hmm...... Could it be...... Dungeon?"
However, Alan shook his head after thinking for a moment: "No, it's going further...... It doesn't sound like it's coming from this close to us......"
"But further east is the cliff......" Riel said again, "is it from under the cliff?"
"Under the cliff...... The valley?" Alan frowned at the thought of this place, which Mr. Winslow had repeatedly warned them not to approach, even though they didn't know how to approach it.
"What's in the valley below the cliff?" Alan couldn't help but think, "Is that why Mr. Winslow won't allow us to come close?"
However, Alan didn't have a clue when he thought about it, because when they approached the dungeon, they only hurriedly glanced down the cliff, and they didn't see anything in the dark.
"Let's go to bed first......" After a while, Alan restrained his curiosity and decided not to delve into it anymore, "Let's be less troublesome about things that have nothing to do with us in the future, since we entered the school, we have been in trouble, and if we continue like this, it is estimated that we will be exhausted in less than a year." ”
"Hmm......" Rare felt that made sense and climbed back into bed.
Before they knew it, they tossed and turned for about an hour, and when they fell asleep again, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
But the next morning, when the two woke up, they were stunned by the scene outside the window: it was snowing!
"Alan, get up, get up, look what this is?!" Riel woke up early, and immediately woke Alan up when he saw the scene outside the window.
"Huh?" Alan rubbed his eyes, spotting that Riel was staring out the window with an excited look on his face.
"Snow, it's snow, it's snowing!" Rare screamed three times in a row, running out to the balcony without even putting on his coat.
Alan also got up quickly and looked out the window.
I saw goose feather-like snowflakes flying all over the sky outside, not one by one, but one by one, falling one by one. Looking at the Four Seasons Garden, the snow seems to be so thick that it can reach your ankles.
There was no snow in the winter, only rain, so they had never seen snow since they were young, only in books or in the Connors.
It was the first time they had seen snow fall with their own eyes.
"This is the snow ......" Alan couldn't help but come to the balcony, reached out and caught a thick lump of snowflakes, and looked at it carefully, but it melted in his palm after a while.
By this time, the balcony had also accumulated a lot of snow, and Riel was enthusiastically building a snowman like the others in the Four Seasons Garden downstairs.
Although the wind had stopped, unlike Riel's best physical fitness, Alan was dressed thinly, and after spending a short time on the balcony, he felt that it was too cold and went back to his room.
Beya's winter has never been so cold.
And it's already snowing in October, so wouldn't it be too cold to go out in winter?
Riel didn't seem to feel anything, and stayed on the balcony and ran around excitedly.
"I wonder what happened to Alyssa...... Does she feel cold?" Alan thought.
At this time, Riel also came back from the balcony, his hands were red from the cold, but he didn't seem to feel it at all, and he was still excited, and came back to take Alan to build a snowman with him.
But Alan refused: "Let's go see Alyssa...... If she woke up, she would feel cold. ”
Riel then remembered that Alyssa was wearing only their school uniform when she was admitted to the hospital, and that coat was very thin, which was certainly not enough to cope with such a sudden cold air.
"Well, then bring her a few of our thick clothes...... She's so thin, she must be afraid of the cold. ”
So saying, they took out the thick clothes that Mrs. Connor had prepared for them, and when they were ready, they went out, and prepared two for Alyssa.
The two of them walked through the Four Seasons Garden and found that the entire garden was covered in snow, and when you stepped on it, your whole foot would fall into the snow. The school hospital, which usually takes only a few minutes to walk to, took about half an hour today.
Alyssa's entire body was wrapped in the Tree of Life, revealing only one face.
However, what made them more relieved was that although Alyssa was still in a comatose state, compared with the previous days, her complexion was much better today, her complexion had begun to gradually become rosy, and her breathing had become stronger.
"In this case, she will almost wake up tomorrow. Professor Watson said.
"Really?" Riel was a little excited when he heard Professor Watson say this.
"Well, it's faster than expected. Professor Watson nodded.
"Great!" "Rare, she couldn't help but exclaim, "She's never seen snow before, and she'll be happy to see such a great snow scene!"
"Oh...... I said why do you look so excited today, it turns out that it's because of this snow ......" Professor Watson then understood why he felt that something was wrong with this guy since he saw Riel today, jumping up and down, and he couldn't be idle for a moment.
"But......" Professor Watson suddenly changed his words, "this snow is so strange......"
"What's wrong?" Alan looked at him quizzically.
"Yes......" Professor Watson thought for a moment, then said, "I've lived here for more than ten years, and it's the first time I've seen such a heavy snow in October......"
