Chapter 352: True Red
"My teacher is a puppeteer...... You can understand it as a kind of alchemist. Seeing the girl's stunned look from the corner of her eye, Xiwei couldn't help but slow down the speed of her explanation, and said in words that were easier for ordinary people to understand: "According to her own words, she has traveled to the entire Eastern Continent...... That's right, I've been to both the northern hills and the southern forests, and my experience is rich even if you look at the magicians in the entire eastern plains. β
The golden magic light flashed on the lock of the leather box on the east side, and in an instant, many runes representing sealing magic appeared on the square iron plate that originally looked like an ordinary machine key lock.
Sivi's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to decipher the sealing magic in reverse.
"True red is the most satisfying work of her life, and there is no ......"
"Huh, wait a minute?"
Although it was rude for Zhilu Dao to interrupt others while they were talking, Elilia couldn't help but say out loud, "Aren't those eight puppets made by lichs?" And what does it have to do with your teachers? β
Sivi didn't blame the girl for interjecting, in fact, most of his attention was now focused on the lock of the suitcase, and he only replied reflexively: "Didn't I just say that my teacher has been to many places. 'True Red' is the one she picked up on her travels. β
"Huh? I don't understand it anymore......" The girl tilted her head and pressed her index finger against her chin: "It's obviously a puppet made by a lich, why is it that after being picked up by your teacher, it will become your teacher's satisfactory work?" β
"That's because ......"
Sivi stopped what she was doing and turned to stare at the girl. It wasn't until the other party's heart was a little hairy that he said faintly: "When my teacher picked her up, the true red had been completely destroyed-'I can see that she was originally a puppet with ten ingenuity, but unfortunately when I found her, a lot of the parts that make up her body have been lost, and the original magic core structure is gone, no different from a corpse or a doll, it can be described as tattered!" That's what my teacher said. β
"So, ...... Has the true red, which represents humanity, been destroyed by other puppets? β
For some reason, the girl's expression looked a little regretful. Probably she also subconsciously classified herself as a human being.
"That's right. I used to be the same as the teacher. They all just think of True Red as a puppet abandoned by other puppeteers or alchemists. It wasn't until just now that I realized that when the teacher met her, Red must have been attacked by other puppets and had been robbed of the god parts. β
"I always feel a little pitiful...... It's clear that they are sisters who were born together. But they have to fight each other or something. β
Elilia clasped her hands to her chest. A complicated look on his face.
"Wow!"
Didn't notice the girl's unusual expression at all. Because of a mistake in deduction and decipherment, Xiwei, who was electrocuted by the arc that bounced off the suitcase, retracted his hand and shook it, and at the same time looked at the suitcase with a depressed face: "It's okay no matter what." I just want to open this thing right now. β
- Edric College? Dean's Officeββ
"What's 'I believe in you, so you have to believe in yourself as I believe in you'!"
Sophia slammed the pen in her hand on the ground, and the hideous expression on her face made everyone who saw it involuntarily think of the legendary Hell Refining Demon.
Even Sara Lia, who was a vampire princess and had a very high status in the demon camp, was so frightened that she shrunk in the corner of the room, holding her head and trembling.
"I actually left such a sentence and ran away again!" The girl's angry roar resounded through the room: "And Fett, you too, obviously you are by his side, seeing him do this kind of thing, you can't stop it early!" β
If it weren't for the excellent sound insulation of the dean's room, I'm afraid that the whole college would know that its own dean had run away.
"What a mistake."
Fett floated in the air, shaking her head, and her double ponytails flicked to the ground with her movements, but there was no regret on the ghost girl's face at all: "Seeing that what he said at that time was so righteous and awe-inspiring, I thought he was really thinking about the academy." Is it just a matter of avoiding dealing with these matters? β
Seeing the other party's performance like this, Sophia also knew that no matter how much she blamed her, it would be useless, and in the end she could only sigh deeply and sit back in her seat.
"If you sigh all the time, you'll get a stomach ulcer." The pearl-colored ghost girl floated up to Sophia and made a shoulder squeeze gesture.
"Who do you think I'm sighing for?" Sophia ignored the other party's movements, and just gave her a roll of the eyes.
"Sivi? Edric! β
"That said, though...... Alas. At the mention of Sivi, Sophia couldn't help but sigh again: "I always feel deceived by his ambitious back." β
"Even if you say it on your lips. But if Sivi is really just the kind of person who has been nesting in the academy, you won't like him, right? As one of the few people in the academy who dared to make fun of Sophia (or the ghost), Fett didn't care at all whether he would touch the other party's thunder point, and said bluntly.
"Just appreciating!" The red-haired girl categorically denied it: "My mother said to me a long time ago, 'Generally speaking, especially girls, the person who falls in love with the other person first loses', so I will never fall in love with someone first!" β
"Huo Huohuo, it's really a pure love girl's speech, I'm more and more optimistic about you~"
The ghost girl laughed tastelessly.
"Five hundred-year-old grandmother shut up!"
Just when the ghost seemed to be about to quarrel, the door to the dean's room was opened.
Alice walked in with a food cart, followed by the maid was a puppet named True Red, but this powerful puppet now had a tray with a teapot and cups on its head, which looked very funny.
"Sister Sophia, do you want to have some supper?" One by one, she opened the lid on the food truck, revealing the various small pastries that were exquisitely made.
"Alice, haven't you slept yet?"
Sophia smiled at the maid maid as she neatly cleaned up the table littered with papers.
"Yes. I usually don't go to bed until a little later...... The teacher used to sneak into the kitchen at this time to steal food, so I would make a little supper before that. β
Alice placed the plate neatly on the table, then took the tray from Zhenhong's hand and brewed two cups of black tea: "Miss Saran, come and rest too, I have baked a special biscuit according to your taste." β
ββ¦β¦ Then you're welcome. The little vampire cautiously looked at Sophia, who had softened, and Fett, who was halfway through the sealed window to look outside, before coming to Alice's side.
It can be seen that the little vampire has a good relationship with Alice.
In fact, everyone in the academy had a good relationship with the maid girl......
"That's right, the one ...... was called the toilet seat," Fitt said as if he had suddenly remembered something, pulling his body back from the window and to Sophia, who was eating a horseshoe-shaped biscuit.
"Ahem. It's Madal! β
Sophia almost choked. I poured myself a sip of black tea before I was relieved.
"Almost, anyway, that bald head seems to have made an application to see Sivi tomorrow." Fett continued.
"Politely decline, just say that Sivi and the Holy Maiden have something to discuss about the cooperation between the two families of the Adric Academy and the Pure White Church." Sophia made a decision without hesitation, and after a pause, she continued: "I replied with the identity of Sivi and said that I would wait until this assessment was over. He'll pay a visit to your college. β
"Why don't you change 'your college' to 'one college after another'?"
"Huh. You're so bad. β
"The same goes for you."
"Huhuhuhuhu......"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
The two young girls, who were bitter and hateful because of the Sivi strike, looked at each other and smiled. In the case that the person concerned is completely unaware of the state of affairs, he finds a bunch of drudgery for Sivi.
"That...... Why did Miss Alice cover my ears just now? β
"I just think it's better for the pure Miss Saran not to hear that conversation."
The second half of the snack time was underway.
The puppet True Red was the first to yawn.
"Zhenhong, are you tired?" Alice asked with concern, "It's okay to go to sleep first." β
"It's fine."
The doll girl rubbed her eyes. Shook his head.
It's just that she seems to be crumbling from sleepiness, and it wasn't long before she fell asleep under the gaze of several other girls.
"I don't need to eat, but I need sleep...... I always think it's amazing to be really red. Salanlia lowered her voice and sighed.
"It is said that after the Great Migration Era, there was an alchemist who liked to hunt and kill pure-blooded vampires, stripped their memories through some means, sealed their souls in dolls, and created pseudo-alchemy life, and submitted it to the Qiyao Mage Association as a research report on 'reproducing alchemy life in the mythical era', and won the Order of Merlin of the third class!"
Fett suddenly turned his face green, and as he approached the little vampire, he said in an eerie voice, "And those puppets he made still exist in this world......
"Really, really?!" The biscuit in Salanlia's hand fell on the table, and her whole body trembled visibly.
"Fake!"
Sophia tapped the little vampire on the head with the spoon in her hand: "Don't let others say anything, just believe it." β
"Ahh......h
"Speaking of which, after the recent connection with True Red has become more intimate, I always feel that True Red is conveying something to me......" Alice also spoke at this time: "Obviously, there is no change from the usual, but the feeling that something is missing in the body makes me very concerned." β
"True Red is a terrific alchemy product, at least in my eyes." Sophia didn't seem to be interested in this: "I used to draw on the structure of real red when I made magic puppets, and it is worthy of being Mr. Xiwei's proudest work, it is really perfect!" β
"Is that so......
Alice still looked a little overwhelmed.
"The dim sum was delicious."
Snack time ended with the disappearance of the last piece of cake, and Sophia sucked her finger and said contentedly, "Anyway, Alice, you go and rest first." β
"Well, Sister Sophia should go to bed early." The maid girl cleaned up the table and her mood, and left with the same expression as always.
"Then let's keep working hard!" Sophia stretched, looking much more energetic.
"Oooh! I don't need to sleep anyway~" Fett floated as usual.
βZzzzβ¦β¦β
"Since you're a vampire, don't sleep at night!!" β
-- Clockwork City Center Room --
βouchοΌβ Sivi let out an indecipherable scream as she shook her hand at the electrocution again.
Behind him, the Lady Elilia was too bored to sit on the clean floor, half-asleep.
"Hmph...... Have you finally come to this point......"
Instead of being discouraged by the failure, Xi Wei seemed a little interested: "The one hundred and forty-nine heavy sealing techniques are only the last twenty-nine heavy, see how I can unlock this lock!" β
When he said this, he suddenly paused.
"Wait............ Lock? β
β Xiwei used the Master Key.
β149 The seal was broken.
β Xiwei successfully opened the suitcase.
"What exactly did I do before......" (To be continued......
