"I know!" Alan pouted and looked at him, "You're going to pay me for dinner for no reason?"

"Haha......" Riel saw through it so easily by Allen, stuck out his tongue and said, "Seeing through it so quickly, you're just as powerful as Mr. Audrian now......"

"Don't compliment me, it's useless. Alan twisted his head to the side and said categorically, "No, see for yourself." ”

"Hey, don't be so ruthless. Riel put down his dinner and looked at Alan on the table, "We've been together for more than ten years, haven't we?"

"I just can't say no. Alan was still resolute, "You've been counting on me since the first lesson, what can you do in the future, what if you run into something I don't understand?" ”

"How is that possible, you're so smart...... "Riel scratched his cheek, "Even if you don't understand, isn't there still Alyssa......"

"Alyssa?" Alan seemed to be really angry when he heard his words: "Count on me, you still plan to count on her!

The phrase "this ......" seemed to speak to Riel's heart, put away the expression of the hippie smile, and also sat down on the bed, and said after a long time: "Actually, I also have a very serious preview this morning......

Hearing Riel say this, Allen's anger instantly disappeared by half, and he turned his head to look at him.

"But I just can't read it, what can I do......" Riel also looked out the window and said slowly, "You know, I'm not very good at reading books...... Ian, the two of us also found a place where no one was around for a long time, and practiced the Advanced Burst Spell and the Basic Barrier Enchantment...... He's fine, but I don't have any results......"

Only then did Alan understand why he slept so heavily at noon, it turned out that he was a little over-consumed during the morning practice.

When using magic, it is necessary to maintain a high level of mental concentration, and if you are in this state for a long time, it is easy to feel mentally tired.

"Alas, it doesn't seem like he can be blamed for this......" Thinking of this, Alan sighed, and in order to show comfort, he said: "There are not many things to pay attention to in the general class, and the only things that may involve extra points are the classification of spells and the use of advanced burst spells. ”

"Uh-huh!" Ryle heard that Alan finally relented, his eyes lit up excitedly, and he immediately turned his face over again, and asked repeatedly, "What else, what else?"

"The focus is on the second enchantment class......" Alan frowned slightly, as if he didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with the enchantment class?"

"Professor Wagbein might be a little difficult for you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Frey's uncle...... Well...... He's a very maverick. "He attaches great importance to students' preparation for the lesson, and he is a strong advocate of self-directed learning, and the first lesson alone involves the content of the third chapter." ”

"Chapter Three!" Riel was startled, "I've barely finished the first chapter after reading it all morning!"

"Rest assured, rest assured. Alan waved his hand to signal him to calm down, "There's not much involved, the focus is still on the first two chapters." ”

"That'...... Call me when you get to the library later! I'm going to preview Chapter 2 again!"

"Well, okay, I'll eat first, and I'll tell you about the details I need to pay attention to. ”

With that, Alan closed the book and started to eat dinner, while Riel uncharacteristically took out his textbook and read it.

"So this guy is still very attentive...... Looks like I'm overthinking. Seeing that he also looked like he was reading seriously, Alan laughed unconsciously.

In a hurry to prepare for tomorrow's wind elemental magic class, Alan ate quickly, and the two of them set off together at about half past six.

It was already getting dark, and the road was basically full of people returning to the dormitory after dinner.

There were still plenty of empty seats on the first floor of the library, but Alan took Riel all the way to the second floor. He didn't know why, as if he had liked the second floor since he first came here.

The second floor is even more deserted, compared to yesterday's scene, it is simply different from the scene.

"Sure enough, it's three minutes of heat, and it seems that Professor Wagbean is right. Alan thought, "But it's good if there are fewer people, Riel must have a bunch of things to ask that he doesn't understand, so he doesn't have to worry about disturbing others." ”

He took Riel to sit down near the window, pulled out the Thunder Elemental Magic textbook, and began to read the second chapter that he hadn't heard when he wandered today. Arael, on the other hand, unsurprisingly asks a few questions every time he turns a page, so that Alan reads slowly, and he doesn't finish the second chapter until the clock strikes eight o'clock. However, Riel also realized that his too many questions would seriously affect Allen's efficiency, and he had stopped asking more questions since Allen started to preview the Wind Elemental Magic class.

"Let's go. About another half hour or so, Alan said.

After roughly skimming through the content of the first two chapters of the Wind Elemental Magic textbook, he found that many of the places talked about were related to Thunder Elemental Magic, and Alan was already familiar with the restraint relationship between Wind Elemental Magic and some other magics, so it didn't seem that there should be much of a problem in this course tomorrow. And most importantly, they were going to get back by nine o'clock.

When I left the library, it was already dark outside. The street lights on both sides of the road were on, and there were basically no students moving around, only one or two people from the Discipline Inspection Committee with red ribbons on their right arms were still on duty.

The two hurried back to the dormitory, and old Siphus was already standing in the doorway again.

"Good evening. Remembering that Old Seapheus was still very friendly to him, Alan took the initiative to greet him.

But old Seaphus didn't speak, and until the two men walked past him, he didn't nod to Allen as he had done last night. He just stood motionless, as if he hadn't seen them at all.

"Is this old thing too old and deaf?" Riel muttered to himself in displeasure with Old Seapheus's attitude.

"Don't say that, others are still very good. Allen said.

However, old Sieverus's behavior was indeed a little abnormal, so that Alan couldn't help but look back at him twice.

"The beating of the devil's heart will disturb the Lamb's dreams. As Alan entered the hallway, he heard Old Seapheus's voice faintly coming from behind.

"What?" said this sentence, which made Alan a little creepy. There seemed to be a hint of danger in Old Seaphus's words, so much so that Alan suspected that he had misheard.

But old Seaphus did not look back, nor spoke again.

"Don't waste any more time with him, I think he's just an old fool!" Riel was also a little uncomfortable by this remark, and pulled Alan upstairs.

Alan climbed all the way to the fourth floor with doubts. The Ravan brothers had returned, and since the key was in Alan's hands, they had to wait at the door.

"Where have you been?" asked Ivan, a slight displeasure in his tone, as if they had kept them waiting too long.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, staying in the library a little longer. Alan apologized as he opened the door.

"It's okay, it's okay, in fact, we just came back not long ago. "Ian is still quite generous.

"Next time I will try to come back early. ”

Entering the house, Alan didn't delay much, and finished washing as fast as he could, followed by Riel. They both have to wake up early tomorrow. Alan had made an appointment with Cynthia to have breakfast together, and Riel was so well prepared that he had to recharge his energy and then show his hand in front of Alyssa.

Lying on the bed, Alan only felt that the fatigue of the day had finally been relieved, and the sleepiness soon set in, and Riel had fallen asleep before he could come out of the bathroom.

However, Alan did not sleep soundly until dawn.

Around midnight, Alan suddenly woke up, as if he had been woken up by some sound.

"Huh?" he opened his eyes in a daze, and faintly heard a sound coming into his ears little by little, as if from a long distance.

Alan rubbed his eyes and noticed that there was moonlight shining in, and it was Riel who had forgotten to close the curtains.

He got up and listened carefully, and found that there was nothing but a slight snoring from Riel.

"Did I fall asleep?" Alan gently got out of bed, closed the curtains, and lay down again.

But as soon as he lay down on his side, he heard a faint sound creeping into his ears, bursting like a drumbeat, muffled, sometimes rhythmic, sometimes messy.

"Sure enough, there is still a voice!" Alan got up again in confusion, but as he got up, the voice disappeared again.

"What the hell...... What the hell is going on?" Allen tossed back and forth, driving away all his already thick sleepiness.

It seemed that he couldn't find the source of the sound, so he didn't want to get a good night's sleep tonight, so he held his breath and carefully watched the slightest wind and grass around him. But after about ten minutes, he didn't hear a single sound like that.

"Maybe I'm too tired during the day and have auditory hallucinations?" Waiting left and right to wait for the voice to come out again, Alan couldn't wait any longer, so he lay down again.

"This time it should be completely gone...... "After regaining his peace of mind, the drowsiness soon came back again, and Alan tugged at the corner of the quilt and turned over. But as soon as he turned over to face the wall, another drum beat hit his ears: "Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

The drowsiness immediately dissipated again.

"Can you only hear if you lie down?!" Alan suddenly seemed to realize something, so he simply removed the pillow and listened carefully with his ear against the bed board.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock knock...... "The sound came from this time was clearer than the previous one.

"Is it ......" Alan was shocked, rolled over and got out of bed, lying on the floor, his ears firmly pressed to the ground.

"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Boom!" A drumbeat that was unprecedentedly clear smashed into his ears!

"Sure enough...... Not from the air, but from underground!" Alan jerked his head up.

"But what is that sound?" Alan wondered, "Is there something hidden in the ground around here?"

Alan was a little nervous and began to think crankily. At this moment, the words of old Seaphus suddenly rang in his ears at the right time: "The heartbeat of the devil will disturb the sweet dreams of the lamb again." ”

"The devil's heartbeat!" Allen's heart furious, it turned out that old Seaphus's words were referring to this!

It seems that there is indeed something dangerous underground, and old Siphus seems to know!

Cold sweat began to break out on Alan's forehead.

Strange things have been happening since he entered school, and now hearing such a strange voice makes him feel uneasy in his heart one after another.

There was another "thump" sound, but Alan knew it was his heartbeat this time.

He looked around, it was pitch black, and Alan suddenly felt as if something was lurking in the darkness, watching his every move...... As old Seaphus described, he is the devil who will reach out at any time, and when the time is right, he will reach out and pull him into hell, and he is the lamb to the slaughter.
