Chapter 684: Chapter 32 Spirit CommunicatorZheng Qingâs gray cloth bag is stuffed with Man Kunâs "Principles of Rune Construction".
He had originally thought that Elena was asking for him today to discuss a complex rune in a notebook, so he specially brought his recent discoveries for studying. However, to his surprise, the final meeting place was not the Book Mountain Library, but Alpha Castle.
Moreover, the Gypsy witch had no intention to study the runes ââ she even gave Zheng Qing the jet-black notebook as a gift, which made the already baffled Zheng Qing even more confused.
"You didnât call for me today just to have me scout around, did you?" The young scholarship student half-jokingly asked, touching the reference books stuffed in his gray cloth bag.
Although he did break a few school rules following Elena today, he never really did anything wrong ââ the Witch showed him the way, opened the door to Friedmanâs rest room, and knocked down a pillar. Oh yes, she also gave him a notebook as a gift ââ from beginning to end, all Zheng Qing did was playing drumroll for several times. When they went through the stone gate between Jiuyou Academy and Alpha Castle, Zheng Qing did use his anonymous pass to help a bit.
The young scholarship student firmly believed that even if he wasnât there, or better said, if he didnât have the pass, the Gypsy witch would still find a way to go through that stone gate.
It was just a difference between being complicated and easy.
"Is there anything you need me to do?" The boy nervously asked again.
"Nothing really. I just brought you over today to show you around... let you know what Iâm doing." After getting the stone pillar, the Witch seemed to be much more cheerful and was swaying as if she was dancing as she walked, "As you said before, so many rumors can be confusing."
Her answer took the young scholarship student by surprise, and he fell silent.
Although he was always curious about Elenaâs whereabouts, he always stuck to the principle of not snooping or interfering, which he believed was the basic respect for a witch ââ it was quite normal for Elena to have her little secrets, which wizard doesnât have a few secrets? Elena liked to ditch class, thatâs okay, the freedom of the Gypsies is well-known.
However, he didnât expect the witch to reveal this secret herself ââ Elena usually ditched classes, though the students in the Astronomy Class 08-1 discussed the whereabouts of the Gypsy witch behind her back, and even guessed some frightening scenarios, but no one had ever brought this up to the witch. No matter how many questions Zheng Qing had, he always kept them to himself ââ sometimes, if youâre used to pretending to be deaf and dumb, when people suddenly take out your earplugs and ask you what you think, you canât help but feel disoriented.
Under this disorientation, everything else was babbling, only silence was golden.
Zheng Qing was no fool.
So he kept silent.
Silently, silently, he followed the witch, left Friedmanâs rest room, left the empty castle of Alpha, and returned to Jiuyou Academy through the stone gate. At one point on the journey, the Gypsy witch seemed to have lost interest in talking and remained silent with Zheng Qing.
Not until they were walking through the ring mansion corridor, the vista of glittering Lin Zhong Lake just in sight, did Zheng Qing finally break the silence.
"Whatâre you going to do with that stone pillar?" He finally figured it out that since the witch seemed to want to say something to him, he should seize this opportunity to clear up his confusion. SŃará´h the NĂ´velĆire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"I thought youâre not interested in this!" Elena seemed to be relieved and looked at Zheng Qing with a smile.
"Iâm very much interested." The magician hurried to join in.
Elena tucked all tarot cards back into her Kun bag, pulled out the pillar again, and handed it to Zheng Qing generously, "Well, since youâre curious, just have a good look... Can you see what it is?"
Zheng Qing took the pillar and immediately spotted the bas-relief on it ââ the pillar, like the others he had seen, was carved with a cloak-wearing, scepter-wielding elf with a human head and serpent body ââ the only different point was, the elf carved on it looked familiar somehow.
To be exact, the elf looked quite similar to Elena.
"This, this..." Holding the pillar, which felt to him like a red-hot iron, he wished he could fling it into Lin Zhong Lake. Countless plot lines from novels he has read since childhood swarmed in his mind, creating one bizarre story after another ââ long time ago, rampaging demons were suppressed by wizards; long after, the offspring of the demons came to the number one university, seeking traces of their ancestors, attempting to release the suppressedrs.
Fortunately, these plot lines were only fleetingly thought by him, he isnât that absent-minded to tell it all to her face.
What he couldnât help, however, was the shocked look on his face ââ he was never one who can mask or lie well.
"Haha, look at your face, itâs all pale... itâs hilarious!" Elena laughed her heart out, pointing at Zheng Qing and scared two squirrels, who were initially rolling around in nearby bushes, up the oak tree.
Zheng Qing touched his face, gave a wry smile, and finally coercively asked, "It looks like you a bit?"
"What you mean is whether I have any blood relations with those suppressed elves, right?" The witch straightforwardly pointed out the implication behind Zheng Qingâs words.
Zheng Qing licked his lips and didnât deny it. He noticed that Elena always referrred to those suppressed beings as "elves".
"You know about the New World, right?" Elena looked up at the empty blue sky and cheerfully explained, "Every newly discovered New World, wizards would face various foreign gods. Some gods are friendly and can sign non-aggression pacts with wizards to develop together; but there are some gods who regard the world as their sacred domain and strive to prevent wizards from touching their world... The seventy-two elves that were suppressed were the âgodsâ of some worlds who once actively resisted the wizards."
"Youâre a descendant of gods?!" With some realization, Zheng Qing felt like he guessed the truth of the matter.
"Iâm a pure Gypsy, not a single drop of alien blood." Elena gave him a glance, seemingly not interested in being a âdescendant of godsâ, "We Gypsy wizards, in addition to traditional divination and magic potions, also have an ancient traditional craft ââ mediumship."
"If you put it in more fashionable words, itâs spiritualists."
"Are they spirit witches? Like Li Meng?" Zheng Qing gestured, curious.
"Somewhat similar, but different in essence." Elena bit her lip, as if hesitating whether or not to continue, but soon she went on explaining, "Spirit witches communicate with beings from the depths of the universe, which are already levelly far beyond some gods from minor worlds... What we communicate with are mostly ordinary undead, wanderers at the border of Hades, devils at the bottom of the abyss, and some beings from other times and spaces."
