Chapter 16: A Different Stage
"With your help, we were able to get in touch with Dr. Duzem......
Hearing this, the witch finally couldn't hold back and shouted: "What do you mean with our help, I don't know that Doctor What, okay? We're just little wizards doing a little experiment in the North District...... You can't be unreasonable!"
She could already tell from the Rat Immortal's description that Dr. Duzem was a 'taboo' figure to First University. For the North District, there was enough trouble now, and she didn't want to get into trouble with the rights and wrongs outside.
"You're not small at all," the rat fairy laughed, "You're a true wizard now." The great wizard must always have the responsibility of the great wizard. ”
Colmar really wanted to stuff the mouse in front of him into his wine glass, let it touch the ice cube in the glass at a negative distance, and sober up - what is the responsibility of a great wizard!
The reason why she didn't do it right away was because she still had enough sense.
This big rat is too powerful for her to beat.
Ignoring the witch's fierce psychological game, the rat immortal continued to whisper: "We contacted Dr. Duzem and asked him to help refine a new 'artificial god', planning to sneak into the black prison and grab two Xuanhuang fruits while the school was at war with the demon......
Colmar felt dizzy.
She raised the glass in her hand and poured the remaining bits of turquoise into her mouth along with the two ice lumps that remained in the glass, and chewed hard.
But even under the double stimulation of green bees and ice cubes, she still had a feeling that she couldn't breathe.
The information revealed in the old man's sentence just now was a bit too much, more than she could bear—what does it mean to refine an 'artificial god'? When will the school go to war with demons? Also, the black prison can also sneak in? Is there really such a thing as Xuanhuangguo in this world?
She had always thought that Xuanhuangguo, like the Nine Turns Golden Pill, was something from legends and fairy tales.
As if guessing the witch's current mood, the rat fairy fell silent for a while, sipping the clear tea in the cup.
After a long time, the witch hoarsely voiced and said angrily: "Why tell me such a thing!"
It's like a robber who tries to rob a bank, but before he acts, he pulls a random passer-by and tells him all about his plan - of course, to be honest, Colmar has a closer relationship with the rat fairy than the passer-by.
But this did not comfort the witch in any way, but made her feel a stronger sense of anger.
Furious like a fried kitten.
"You think I want to pull you into the water?" The rat fairy sucked his tea, smiled and looked at the fried kitten in front of him, his tail stood up behind him, and he shook it from side to side: "No, no, no." This is not a conspiracy. But any wizard who has reached a certain rank knows a little bit more or less...... Haven't you paid attention to the controversy between the Moonless Council and the First University in the newspapers? Haven't you noticed the reasons behind the sudden intensification of the contradictions between Jiuyou and Alpha? Have you not wondered how the professors of the school are often absent en masse from certain activities or classes, and the explanations given are vague?"
"If you haven't paid attention to any of this, then you must admit that you are incompetent as the vice president of the student union. ”
"Something happens all the time and never ends. ”
"The difference is that you were just a registered wizard before. Now you are a great wizard and are qualified to know about it...... And, if you have the guts, you are also entitled to a piece of the pie in this matter. ”
"Just as the war between wizards and demons has never stopped, in the new world, in the depths of the void, in the long river of time, the fight and death have been dancing together. It's just that this kind of thing is too far away for the little ones below the registered wizard level. ”
"The turmoil that is too far away will not affect you to enjoy the full moon and eat two mooncakes during the Midyear Festival. ”
"Telling you this, just to give you one more chance to choose, just like the motto of Alpha Academy once said, 'Justice is to let people get what they want, and freedom is to let people choose'......"
"I'm a student of Jiuyou. The new Grand Wizard finally found a chance to interject, and said dryly: "Also, Alpha's definition of freedom is not what you said...... 'Freedom is to make people learn to give up'. ”
"Once, once. The rat fairy blew the beard at the corner of her mouth, and her voice was a little dissatisfied: "It's not the first time that Alpha Academy has changed her school motto. I think that version is the best. ”
Colmar is skeptical.
Of course, she also guessed based on the reaction of the old man rat whether he had ever studied at Alpha Academy. That's why we attach so much importance to the school motto of bloodline, ethnicity, and alpha.
At the same time, she suddenly thought of a very critical question:
"Why would you want to get involved in this kind of thing?"
For this kind of thing, which is very troublesome at first glance, most wizards can't dodge it, why would the rat immortals get involved?
In the impression of the witch, the rat fairy has always been a very Buddhist little old man. I'm afraid of trouble.
"Because I've been in this realm for too long. The rat fairy looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and his voice was unexpectedly gentle:
"It's been so long that I'm about to forget the juice, to her mother...... You've also said before that magic is the greatest wonder of the universe. In order to save them, I must work miracles and have powers beyond those of the Grand Wizards...... Xuanhuangguo might be able to help guys like me. ”
He didn't explain what 'a guy like him' was like.
"Juice's mother is not ......," said the witch, a little speechless for a moment. She wanted to say, isn't Mother Juice depraved? When the words came to her lips, she suddenly couldn't speak.
"Yes, she's in Black Prison right now. The Rat Immortal replied simply, "After I learned that Juice was lost in the mirror world that day, and she lost control, the principal and I didn't do anything...... But that doesn't mean the school won't do it. They put her in a black jail. This time I chose to work with a wandering wizard, in addition to the well-known reasons, but also her. I hope she can be free again. ”
"She's degenerated into a demon!" the witch accentuated a certain noun. For young wizards in school, degeneration into demons is the equivalent of being hopeless.
The Rat Immortal's face showed a hint of inexplicability.
He replied softly, "yes... Devil... What does it matter? Remember the two questions I asked you that night? What do you know about demons...... How much do you know about First University. ”
As a veteran of First University, and as the vice president of the student council, Colmar could have patted her chest and said that she knew a lot about demons and First University—and it was clear from the books.
But now, she suddenly lost that confidence.
Because after becoming a great wizard, she gradually realized that this world was very different from what she imagined.
"'We're on a stage that we didn't choose, we're playing a play that we didn't choose,'" the Rat Fairy let out a long breath, "Before, I always thought Epictetus was too pretentious. Now I find that it's not hypocrisy, but life is so hypocritical. ”
"You can try again next time," Colmar said, reusing the honorific and whispering, "You can choose to be on the next stage...... There is no need to take risks on this stage. ”
