Chapter 298: Over the Hill
There was the sound of slightly heavy footsteps in the hallway.
The little witch who was sleeping under the quilt suddenly opened her eyes. The light in the room is a little dim because the curtains are kept closed, creating good sleeping conditions for those who sleep lazy.
Before the residual sleepiness in his eyes dissipated, Li Meng's body had already made up her own mind, and she climbed out of bed quickly, and the convenience of magic was undoubtedly revealed with the slight movement of her fingers - the curtains automatically opened, the windows quietly opened, hot towels and mouthwashes collided in front of her, and the pink robe with lace chased the figure of the little witch for half the room, and finally put her in.
Oh, and the stuffed bear that has been hanging from the corner of the bed, which has also been liberated.
"You know what to say!" the little witch warned in a low voice, pinching the stuffed bear's ears.
The stuffed bear's glass eyes, which had been gradually blooming from the sound of footsteps in the hallway, lost their luster again in the little witch's rough warning.
It's just a pitiful helpless stuffed bear.
"Squeak!"
The dormitory door opens.
The familiar fragrance of my cousin rushed into the dormitory with the wind through the hall.
The dormitory is sunny and the air is fresh, Li Meng is sitting upright behind the desk, holding a book of "Great History: Modern and Modern History of the World" in her hand and studying carefully, several quill pens hovering around her, and one of them falls down from time to time, leaving a reading record in the notebook.
Seemingly noticing the cousin who had just entered the door, Li Meng turned his head, his eyes were clear, and asked with a surprised face: "Where did you go in the morning?" I read a book all morning, and I almost fell asleep after reading it......
As she spoke, she stretched her arms and yawned heavily.
This yawn is real.
Jiang Yu didn't speak, quietly walked to the little witch's side, and raised her arm. Li Meng thought that her cousin found out about her small movements and wanted to beat her, so she shrank into a ball in fright.
As a result, Jiang Yu just opened his arms and hugged the little witch in his arms.
hugged it so quietly, buried his head in the rabbit hood of Li Meng's pink robe, and didn't look up for a long time.
The little witch was stunned, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"It doesn't matter, it's me. She patted the witch on the shoulder like a little adult, and comforted her in an old-fashioned manner: "Life is inevitably a little unsatisfactory...... There's nothing you can't get over. ”
Jiang Yu took a small breath and buried his head between the rabbit's ears for a long time.
Until Li Meng whispered worriedly and reminded: "Don't blow your snot into my hat......"
Jiang Yu finally raised his head, his eyes were red, he grabbed Li Meng's ears, and resumed his usual cousin's coercion: "Next time you dare to sleep in the morning, I will leave you in the care of my grandmother!"
"I didn't sleep all morning!" Li Meng cried out.
"Your bed is still steaming!"
“...... That's Li Neng just farting!"
The stuffed bear looked at the little witch in shock, and its paws involuntarily touched its ass - it never knew it had the ability to fart!
......
......
North District of Beta Town, Gu Diao Street.
Sakura Tavern 2nd floor.
The two went out together in the morning, and when they returned, Colmar was the only one left. The new Grand Wizard walked through the cherry blossom courtyard, ascended the narrow and steep staircase, and pushed open the creaky door without pause.
She's tired, inside and out, but now is not the time to be sad.
She didn't look for a retreat to stabilize her realm as the yellow civet instructed.
She had more important things to do.
In the hall on the second floor of the Sakura Tavern, there were more than a dozen members of the 'Gini Hut' club—young magicians with low qualifications who had no hope of getting into the First University, and could only learn a little magic in a private club like the 'Gini Hut'.
The witch's entry attracted the young magicians to look back and pay attention. Not only because she is the owner of the Gini Hut, but also because the witch is dressed very differently today. The long silver-white hair replaced the usual long brown and black hair, the mysterious symbol in the center of her forehead, and her slightly hazy figure all made these tricksters look sideways.
However, due to the majesty of the witches of the past, the young magicians dared to sit in their seats and wait for the lecture to begin. No one dared to risk angering the owner of the Gini hut by making any frivolous moves.
On weekends, Colmar is on holiday, which is the happiest time for these young tricksters. Because it means that the owners of the club have time to patiently teach them some complex magical tricks. For these young people whose futures are destined to be dark, even learning how to mix or treat herbs is a huge gain.
Behind the bar on one side of the hall, a blue-gray flower pot sits on the table, and a witch in a gray robe is holding a glass and carefully watering the pot.
In the flower pot, a few trumpet flowers leaned up weakly, and a hoarse song came from the flowers:
“...... Looking back frequently because of uneasiness,
Ignorant supplication,
ashamed to cry for help,
Tireless climbing,
Every hill ......"
Colmar listened to the song with some distraction, and the witch who watered the flowers greeted her several times, but she didn't hear it.
"President. ”
"Store manager!"
"Sister Colmar?!"
"What?" the witch finally came back to her senses, looked at the gray-robed witch who raised her glass, and woke up from a dream, "Is everyone here?"
"I've already said it before," the gray-robed witch puffed up a little angrily, and put down the wine glass in her hand heavily: "The Avery siblings have to help the family clean up the newly picked Yinchen, and when the silent tide returned some time ago, their father was injured, and the family has no income for a long time...... Enoch followed his uncle into the Forest of Silence and did not return...... Casey's mom helped her find a wandering wizard husband for a wedding, and both Marcy and Laurie went to help......"
The Grey Robe Witch rummaged through the roster in her hand, babbling on the names of the absentees from the club and the reasons for each.
Colmar listened intently.
But unconsciously, I was once again attracted by the singing voice coming from the trumpet flower.
“......
Over the hills,
Though his head is white,
talk somebody's ear off
The sorrow that I don't give,
has not yet seen immortality as desired,
Just lose yourself first
......”
Have I seen the immortal? Have I lost myself?" the witch lowered her eyelids and asked herself, her already hazy figure rising and falling, and the invisible pressure that emanated instantly silenced the entire hall.
Even the trumpet flower shrunk her neck and shut her mouth.
Colmar came back to her senses again.
The gray-robed witch grabbed her glass and looked at her with a pale face.
“...... I'm sorry. The owner of the Gini hut said softly, "I've done a little bit of experimentation before, and I'm still a little used to the current state...... What did you just say?"
