Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 75 Herry and Cynthia
"Hmm. Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Professor Wagbein say this, and sat down next to Allen.
"Ah, yes. Professor Wagbine suddenly remembered something, "There's something I'm curious about to ask you. ”
"What's the matter, Professor?" Cynthia was a little surprised.
"Hmm...... The boy ...... What does it have to do with you?" Professor Wagbine asked, staring at Cynthia.
Cynthia pursed her lips and didn't speak, as if she was thinking about how to answer.
"I saw that you were both inseparable throughout the class. Professor Wagbein added.
"I don't know what he thinks...... What I am to him, I don't know...... Probably friends. Cynthia stared at Allen, who was still lying on the ground, and thought for a long time before saying. "But he's a very important person to me. ”
"Oh, that's right...... Well, I know you don't really like Frey......"
Hearing this, Cynthia looked at him with a little surprise.
"Nothing strange, right...... He told me about it. Seeing Cynthia's look of surprise, Professor Wagbein shrugged.
Cynthia lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Although I was out of the house on the day you got engaged, and I couldn't see you, but after all, now that I'm his guardian, even if I don't like to mix with your children's affairs, I still have to ask once in a while to be presentable. ”
"So he could see it......," Cynthia whispered.
She had never smiled at Frey, but Frey had always smiled at her, and she thought that Frey had gotten used to her cold attitude.
"The Wagbyon family is not stupid. Professor Wagbein smiled a little, but the next second he instantly regained his serious expression and said, "But you must know that this is not just a matter between the two of you, but a matter between the Winslow family and the Wagbean family. ”
Cynthia sighed deeply when she heard this, the wand in her hand clenched tightly, and her mood suddenly fluctuated.
"It may be unfair to both of you, but you don't have a choice. Professor Wagbean bowed his head and said, "Probably that's the fate of you both." ”
Cynthia didn't answer, just stared at Alan, and was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Someday...... He's going to pull me out of this whirlpool called Winslow. ”
"He, you mean...... Is this young man lying on the ground?"
"Hmm. Cynthia replied simply.
"How...... Aren't you happy at Winslow's house?" Professor Wagbein was a little surprised.
Cynthia didn't answer, as if she hadn't heard what Professor Wagbean was asking, and just looked at Alan in a daze.
"But always remember who you are. Seeing that she didn't speak, Professor Wagbine got up and said, "No matter what happens in the future, but now your surname is Winslow, Cynthia Winslow." ”
With that, he walked away without waiting for Cynthia's answer.
Cynthia sat alone next to Allen, her head on her lap, staring at the blades of grass on the ground.
In fact, all the Allen they just said was in their ears, not that he deliberately eavesdropped, but that he really didn't have the strength to open his eyes.
At first, his mind was a mess and he couldn't think about it at all, but now he felt much clearer, his hands and feet were no longer numb, and his heart rate had returned to normal, but he still felt weak, unable to open his eyes and not have the strength to speak.
"Why would she want to disconnect from the Winslow family, and what happened at the Winslow house?" these questions kept going through Alan's head, and he wanted to ask them himself.
He lay down like this for a while, trying to move his fingers, and finally felt his strength come back, and tried to open his eyes again.
Although there were leaves on the camouflage barrier to block the sun, it was still very bright outside after all, and Alan struggled for a long time to barely open his eyes.
Cynthia was still in a daze, not noticing Allen's movement at all. It wasn't until Eren felt that his strength had almost recovered and he slowly sat up from the ground that Cynthia noticed that Eren didn't know when he had woken up.
"Are you alright?" Cynthia asked quickly, coming back to her senses.
"Hmm...... Don't worry, I'm not hurt......" Alan slowly twisted his neck, lying on the ground for so long, his whole body was going to stiffen, and his neck hurt a little.
"Uh...... I'm sorry......" Cynthia whispered.
"Why apologize, it's not your fault. Alan rubbed his eyes and smiled, "It's me who was too reckless." ”
"Maybe if I break the enchantment in time, maybe ......"
"Actually, I've already guessed that it's a magical leak, and I've seen similar descriptions in books...... I just wanted to confirm it as soon as possible. Alan tilted his head and said to Cynthia with a smile, "But I didn't expect your elemental nature to be so intense...... I thought it would be like when I was in the library, at most I felt my arm numb, but I didn't expect it to hurt so much......"
"I didn't mean to......" Cynthia hurriedly explained.
"I know, I know you didn't mean to. Allen said, "It's just an unintentional mistake, and there's no need to blame yourself for it." ”
"Hmm......" Cynthia saw that he had basically returned to normal, and he was not angry at all, and her hanging heart was relieved, "Thank you." ”
Seeing that she was no longer bothered about this matter, Alan quipped while shaking his head: "It has become so strong before you insert additional spells, and I will never touch it again after you integrate the thunder element attribute into the enchantment in the future!"
"I'm going to have to be careful in the future...... Avoid magic wherever you can. Cynthia smiled too.
At this time, a hurried bell rang, and it was half past eleven.
"That's all for today's lesson. Professor Wagbyne's voice came from the other side of the podium, and he turned his head to find that Alan was already standing upright, so he nodded and continued, "I hope you can practice more on your own after class." This time next week, you'll need to hand in an assignment on the differences between placing and disarming camouflage enchantments, and barrier enchantments, and giving examples of how they can be used. ”
As soon as Alan heard the title, he knew that it had basically nothing to do with what was being taught in this lesson.
"This assignment is all about the next chapter, and it really has his style. Alan said with a smile.
"Well, and it looks like there's a lot of work. Cynthia glanced at Alan and asked a little worriedly, "Can you finish it on time?"
"Hmm...... In this case, I don't have to do the rest of the general and enchantment classes this week, so I still have plenty of time in the morning...... If you dedicate yourself to the afternoon major, I don't think it would be a big problem. ”
"Hmm...... It's good that you know what to do. ”
By this time, Professor Wagbein had lifted the camouflage barrier and led the way out.
The senior students in the next class are also leaving, so the neighborhood is full of people.
Alan and Cynthia were the last to leave. However, when they came out, they found that Professor Wagbine had not gone far, but was wandering the steps of the Great Hall, looking this way from time to time.
Alan was wondering what he was doing, when he suddenly heard the sound of a senior student opening the disguise enchantment to his right, and then he realized what Professor Wagbine was waiting for.
He also turned back and reopened the camouflage barrier, just like he had at Old Adrian's house. However, he didn't know how to make the barrier change shape, so he had to put a hood-shaped barrier as before, which made the beech forest in front of him look a little strange.
He looked back at Professor Wagbein awkwardly, signaling that there was only so much he could do. Professor Wagbine nodded at him, motioning for him to leave, as it was good enough for him to open the barrier compared to the others. Professor Wagbein pulled out a quill and wrote something on the roll call, which should be a plus.
"How many points?" Alan thought excitedly, "yes...... It doesn't matter, it's good to keep it up like this. ”
"Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch...... It's an apology. Cynthia said and walked forward.
"Well, no...... I'll ......" Alan hesitated a little, he wanted to find an excuse to go back to his room to find Riel first, and then tell him about what happened this morning.
But Cynthia didn't let Alan refuse at all, and pulled Allen's sleeve and walked towards the restaurant: "Oops, let's go!"
Alan couldn't get rid of it, so he had no choice but to obediently have another lunch with her. After eating, Cynthia said that she was going back to her room to rest for a while, and before leaving, she repeatedly told Alan not to be late for the afternoon.
Alan returned to the room, and only Riel was there, who had already eaten lunch. The Ravan brothers don't know where they have gone, so Alan tells Riel everything that happened in the morning.
"So you've scored at least forty-five points this morning alone?" Riel was excited and surprised, and he suddenly felt like it was easy to get a score.
"Well, thanks to Cynthia. Alan waved his hand to signal that Riel could stop a bit, "But that's not the point...... I want to show you that if you are serious, you can do it. ”
"Well, well, I really didn't have much confidence at first...... But when you say that, I feel like I can do it!"
"And Professor Wagbein isn't a difficult person to get along with, as long as you get into the habit of preparing in advance, it's easy to get extra points for his classes. ”
"Uh...... But...... You know, I'm ...... about books."
"Isn't that still me?" said Allen, smiling, "If you don't understand something, just ask." ”
"Hmm!" Riel nodded.
"I'm going to go to bed and lie down for a while...... Cynthia's thunder elemental magic really hurts......" Alan said and rubbed the hand that was stretched out when he was electrocuted, remembering the feeling of numbness all over his body at that time, and couldn't help but shiver.
But having said that, as soon as he lay down in bed, he began to think crankily again. His mind was full of the conversation between Cynthia and Professor Wagbein.
"She didn't seem to want to sign the engagement...... And he seems to be obsessed with breaking away from the Winslow family...... What's going on here? huh...... Cynthia Natalia Winslow...... Natalia...... The name is also strange, did she take it herself...... Well...... Cynthia Winslow...... Cynthia......"
