Chapter 262: Saturday Morning
In the early morning of early May, it was not so cold.
Maybe there is still a little coolness in the air, but the budding flowers on the branches and the birds crying one after another in the forest shatter the coolness, making people have a little more courage to face life.
Jiang Yu still got up very early today.
But unlike in the past, today she didn't put too much thought into her attire, but like the other students of Jiuyou Academy, she wore a bright red robe with a black belt three fingers wide around her waist. There were no forbidden steps, no jade ornaments, no hairpins, and no long gloves made of silk.
This kind of excessively plain dress is very rare for any witch from a family.
But today it is very necessary.
Because Jiang Yu promised Yelena that today she would participate in a magic ritual of gypsy witches as an overseer. She had to make sure that no one at the ceremony would identify her because of her attire.
The curtains hadn't been drawn yet, so the light in the room was a little dim. Li Meng's slight snoring came from behind the tent, looking satisfied and comfortable. At this time, Jiang Yu would unceremoniously tear open the curtains, lift Li Meng's quilt, let the cold wind and sunlight wake up the sleeping little witch, and then take her to the library to do her homework.
But today, Jiang Yu's fingers pressed on the test tube containing pink blood in the corner of the dresser, sighed slightly, and decided to give Li Meng a vacation.
"This is just one time, not the next one. ”
The witch muttered to herself silently, shoving the tube into the compartment of her handbag. As she pulled her hand out, her fingers touched a cold piece of metal in her handbag, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
It was a Beretta double-barreled talisman gun, although the appearance was a little old, but the formation on the body of the gun and the runes on the barrel were intact, and it had been recently maintained and coated with holy oil, which gave people a very reliable feeling to the touch.
This talisman gun was given to her by Elena yesterday afternoon.
Along with this talisman gun, there was also a rune bullet with a red tip.
"Although everything has been prepared, in any case, the unexpected must be considered. The Gypsy Witch said this in a relaxed tone, as if completely unaware of the terrible nature of what she was saying: "If the magic circle is out of control, use this gun to attack the door in the center of the circle, and if I lose control, hit me with a gun...... You know, that's the right choice. ”
"The talisman bomb is specially made, only this one, you must seize the opportunity when you use it. ”
Recalling this, Jiang Yu seemed to feel that what his fingers were touching was not the cold barrel, but the hot coals, and suddenly retracted his hand. His face was a little pale in the dim light.
"Is it that dangerous?" Yesterday afternoon, when talking to Yelena, Jiang Yu's face was also so pale: "If it's really dangerous, can you be prepared to do it again? Don't make senseless sacrifices with your own lives." ”
"Ready, always ready...... Even the best soothsayers can't always find the right time to do something. And today's ceremony is actually part of the 'preparation'. If such a simple task is constantly delayed, what I want to do will never have the possibility of success. ”
Yelena's answer was very serious, and her eyes were so determined that anyone who looked her eyes could read the firmness in her heart: "I'm ready to sacrifice everything." ”
Jiang Yu could read from the eyes of the gypsy witch that even if she refused to provide the blood of the spirit witch, Elena and her companions would not stop the ritual, and the result of her refusal would only reduce the success rate of the ritual even more, in addition to the backlash of the Silence Pact.
It's destined to be a dance on the tip of a knife.
The witch took a deep breath, gathered her chaotic thoughts, and raised her hand to look at the time.
Six o'clock in the morning.
She finally stopped hesitating, reached out and grabbed a red mask in the corner of the dresser, stuffed it into her handbag, and got up and walked out of the dormitory. It was a sleek red mask, with no more decoration on the surface of the mask except for a pair of eyes.
"Bang. ”
The door to the dormitory closed softly, not loud, but it unexpectedly alarmed a sleeping little witch.
"Whew, did anyone just go out?"
Li Meng, who had been sleeping in a mess, suddenly sat up, rubbed his eyes, and muttered twice. Then she became confused and realized the dim light in the room:
"Well, my cousin hasn't woken me up yet...... This. ”
Before the words fell, the little witch snapped and fell back on the bed, seizing the precious weekend time to play chess with Zhou Gong again. The stuffed bear curled up in the corner of the little witch's bed, and opened its mouth as if to say something, but just as it was about to speak, a small white foot came out of the bed and gagged it viciously.
The stuffed bear decisively chose to continue to paralyze.
......
......
Also on this morning, in a cramped gray dormitory, Nicholas stopped the tip of his pen.
Compared to the previous one, this room is much more messy.
But the colors are also richer
A pot of luxuriant four-season green is placed on the desk, and some lazy lampworms lie on the fat leaves, flickering with green light. The lantern insects, who had worked hard all night, could only fall a soybean-sized light at the moment, illuminating the surrounding area of less than a foot.
But it doesn't matter, the cold white light of the early morning has already fallen into the room through the narrow window, providing more light for the owner of the house.
Nicholas straightened the thick pile of stationery on the table and stuffed them into a large envelope.
Last night, he wrote letters to his mother all night.
Repent of his recklessness, repent of his incompetence, repent of his sorrow. Just like the situation he faced when he entered the first university in his first year, he didn't hesitate to swing his fist yesterday when he heard the words coming out of the mouth of that alpha student.
Originally, he thought that after two years of college life, after the school's admonition and punishment, he was mature enough to face this situation and no longer get out of control.
But the moment he threw his fist yesterday, he finally realized that he was wrong.
"No one can insult you in front of me. ”
"Even if I had to make a third choice, I'd keep throwing my fists, Mom. At the end of the letter, he wrote, "You gave me the first life, the birth, and the second life, and the Liz and I got out of the life of a pester." I have nothing to repay you but my life. ”
"May Merlin always bless you. ”
