Chapter 32: The Psychic
Zheng Qing's gray cloth bag was stuffed with a copy of Mankiw's "Principles of Rune Construction".
He originally thought that Yelena was looking for him today to discuss the difficult runes in a certain note, so he also deliberately brought some experience from the research some time ago. Unexpectedly, the place where the two finally met was not the Shushan Pavilion, but the Alpha Castle.
And the gypsy witch had no intention of studying runes - she even gave the black notebook as a gift to Zheng Qing - which made Zheng Qing, who was already a little confused, even more confused.
"You called me today, don't you just let me help you let the wind go. The young public scholarship student touched the reference books in the gray cloth bag, and finally asked half-jokingly.
Although he did a series of things that violated the school rules with Yelena today, in the final analysis, he didn't really do anything - the witch led the way, the witch opened the door of the common room, the witch knocked off a certain railing, oh, and gave the wizard a notebook as a gift - from beginning to end, Zheng Qing didn't even beat the side drum a few times. That is, when passing through the stone gate between the Nine Talents Academy and the Alpha Castle, Zheng Qing used his bearer pass to do a small favor.
The young scholar was convinced that even if he hadn't come, or that he didn't have the pass on him, the gypsy witch would still have a way to get through the stone door.
It's just the difference between cumbersome and simple.
"Is there anything I need to do?" the boy asked uneasily.
"It's nothing. I'm here to show you around today...... Let you know what I'm doing. After getting the stone pillar, the witch's mood seemed to be much brighter, and she walked staggeringly, as if she was dancing: "As you said before, there is a lot of gossip, and it always makes people a little confused. β
Her answer caught the young student off guard, and he fell silent.
Although he has always been curious about Elena's whereabouts, he has always adhered to the principle of non-spying and non-interference, which he believes is a basic respect for witches - Elena has her own little secrets, which is normal, what wizard does not have a little secret?
It's just that he didn't expect that the witch herself lifted the lid - Yelena habitually absent from school and disappeared from play, although there were indeed people in the Astronomy 08-1 class who were discussing the whereabouts of the gypsy witch in private, and also mentioned some very frightening speculations, but after all, no one mentioned these words in front of the witch. Zheng Qing has many doubts in his heart, but he always presses it in the bottom of his heart - sometimes, he is used to pretending to be deaf and dumb, and suddenly pulls out your earplugs and asks you to talk about your experience, which inevitably makes people feel at a loss.
At a loss, in addition to gibberish, only silence is golden.
Zheng Qing is not stupid.
So he was silent.
Silent, silent. Silently following the witch, he left Friedman's common room, left the empty Alpha Castle, and re-entered the stone door to return to the Nine Schools. Along the way, the gypsy witch also seemed to lose interest in talking, and fell silent with Zheng Qing.
It wasn't until he walked in the promenade around the mansion and saw the sparkling Linzhong Lake in the distance that Zheng Qing finally broke the silence between the two.
"What are you going to do with that pillar?" he finally figured out, since the witch seemed to have the idea of saying something to him, then he should naturally seize this opportunity to clear up the confusion in his heart.
"I thought you weren't interested in this!" Yelena seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, tilting her head and looking at Zheng Qing with a smile.
"I'm very interested. The wizard snapped.
Yelena put away the tarot card in her hand, re-pulled out the railing from the Kun bag, and handed it to Zheng Qing very generously: "Ah, since you are curious, let's take a closer look...... What can you discern?"
Zheng Qing took the stone pillar and saw the relief on the pillar at a glance - similar to the relief on the other railings he had seen before, this pillar was carved with a cape, holding a scepter, and a human head and snake body - the only difference was that the elf in the statue looked somewhat familiar.
To be exact, the serpent-headed elf looked seven or eight points similar to Yelena.
"This, thisβ" The wizard grabbed the railing, like a red-hot iron, and wanted to throw it into the nearby Linzhong Lake. Countless episodes that he had seen since he was a child tumbled in his mind, forming one bizarre story after another - a long, long time ago, the raging demons were suppressed by wizards, and after a long, long time, the descendants of the demons came to First University, looking for traces of their ancestors, trying to free the suppressed ancestors.
Fortunately, these episodes were only flashed through the witch's mind, and he was not yet old enough to tell the truth to his face.
It's just that there is no way to hide his shocked expression - he is not a person who is good at lying and covering up.
"Hahaha, look at your face, it's white...... It's so funny!" Elena couldn't help laughing, pointed at Zheng Qing, and startled the two squirrels that were rolling in the bushes next to them onto the oak next to them.
Zheng Qing touched his face, smiled bitterly, and finally asked tentatively, "It looks a bit like you?"
"You're asking me if I'm related to the suppressed elves, right? The witch simply pointed out the meaning of Zheng Qing's words.
Zheng Qing licked his lips and did not deny it. He noticed that Yelena had been using the word 'elf' to refer to these suppressed beings.
"You know the new world," Elena explained briskly, looking up at the empty blue sky, "Every new world is discovered by wizards, wizards face alien gods and goddesses, large and small. Some gods are friendly and can sign non-aggression pacts with wizards, and everyone is happy to work together, while others see the world as their forbidden territory and try to prevent wizards from encroaching on their world...... The seventy-two suppressed elves were the 'gods' of some worlds who had rebelled against the wizards by force. β
"Are you a godborn?!" Zheng Qing was a little stunned, feeling that he had guessed the truth of the matter.
"I'm a pure gypsy, without a hint of extraterrestrial blood. Elena gave him a blank look, and seemed not to be interested in the identity of the 'godborn': "We gypsy wizards, in addition to the old school of divination and potions, also have a traditional ancient skill - psychics. β
"To use a more fashionable word, it is the medium. β
"Is it a spirit witch, like Li Meng?" Zheng Qing gestured, curious.
"It's a bit similar, but it's different in nature. Elena bit her lip, as if she was hesitant to continue, but she quickly went on to explain: "The object of communication between spirit witches is the existence in the depths of the universe, and in terms of rank, there are many gods that surpass some small worlds...... And most of the people we talk to are ordinary necromancy, wanderers by the Yellow Spring, as well as demons at the bottom of the abyss, and some beings in different time and space. β
