Chapter 31 A Railing

Holding the gift box in his hand, Zheng Qing naturally guessed what gift was in the box.

Because of the two previous gifts, his first reaction was that the box contained a rune gun.

"There is such a light rune gun?" The young public-funded student weighed the box, raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously expressed his guess.

"Rune gun?" Elena was a little confused by the wizard's reaction, and asked strangely: "Why a rune gun? Do you want a rune gun as a gift?"

Zheng Qing suddenly woke up - the witch in front of him had participated in the freshman competition like himself. She didn't know about her use of the slingshot, so naturally she wouldn't prepare a corresponding gift.

At the same time, he also felt a little embarrassed about the mistake he had made.

"I, I just guessed that." He stammered in explanation, his face slowly turning red: "Before, I received several rune guns before... I thought, thought..."

"Do you think I will also give you a rune gun?" Elena waved her hand with a smile, looking very free and easy: "The rune gun is so expensive, I can't afford it... If it's just a few rune bullets, I can still think of a way ”

Zheng Qing was relieved when he saw that she didn't care about his rudeness. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the two rune guns he had received, and he felt another pressure in his heart.

The way to reduce stress is, of course, to divert attention.

Zheng Qing immediately tore off the silk on the box and opened Elena's gift in front of her.

Inside the box was a dark notebook.

The notebook looked a little worn, and there were faint traces of blood stains on the greasy cover. Apart from this, other aspects of the book are well maintained - the pages are ironed and the corners are wrapped with thin metal sheets, giving it an unexpectedly neat look - but even so, it is difficult It's a fitting gift.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but frown.

Of course, he was not dissatisfied because the notebook was old - in fact, there was no gift that satisfied him more than this notebook - he had seen this notebook in Elena's hand a few weeks ago. At that time, the gypsy witch held a notebook and asked him for advice on some difficult talismans drawn in it. For this reason, Zheng Qing had to waste a long time in the library and consulted a lot of materials before reluctantly giving an approximate solution.

For a person who is good at talismans, there is no more appropriate gift than a notebook full of unfamiliar talismans.

"You gave it to me?" the young public-funded student asked in surprise, with still some uncertainty in his tone.

"Otherwise?" Elena seemed a little unhappy, and said gloomily: "Since you have drawn that card, naturally I have to give you what is most suitable for you..."

"If you can't bear it, you can give me something else." Zheng Qing suggested in a low voice.

"Isn't that lying to yourself?" The witch looked at the boy in surprise, as if she was very curious as to why he had such an idea: "It's understandable to lie to others, but what's the point of lying to yourself?"

Zheng Qing's face darkened and he did not continue to dwell on this topic.

Just like Lin Guo's timeline, the wizards' thoughts are always filled with some kind of magic that is difficult to explain with logic.

Fortunately, Elena did not continue to discuss this complicated issue.

"Ah! I was only focused on choosing a gift for you, and I almost forgot about the real thing!" The witch suddenly jumped up, as if she was frightened, left the calm wizard, turned around and ran to the terrace not far away.

Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds, stuffed the notebook back into the gray bag, and then followed. Although he still had many questions in his heart - such as where this notebook came from, which school of talismans recorded in the notebook belonged to, etc. - but when he thought that the two of them were still in someone else's lounge, the thought of 'private The young public-sponsored student couldn't help but shrink his neck at the words "breaking into a private house". 【~...&! Fastest update]

It is true that he has accumulated a little bit of credits, so he doesn't care about being deducted a few illegal points from time to time. But that doesn't mean he can squander his credits casually.

After all, he still has to reach the sophomore year, and he still needs to exchange credits for many resources necessary to advance to become a registered wizard. If you can save a little bit, it's a little bit.

The terrace of this lounge is very large, more than enough for two people to stand on.

There were originally many vines growing around the terrace, clinging to the fence of the terrace. However, as it was late autumn and early winter, many plants had shrunk their branches and leaves. Even if some of them had not shrunk, many of the leaves began to turn yellow. So much so that the fence that was originally shrouded in lush vines was completely exposed.

"Although you see that there are many fences, in fact, the entire terrace is said to be carved out of a single piece of marble." Elena lowered her head, bent over, and lightly touched the exquisite reliefs on the fence with her fingertips, her tone was somewhat Erratic: "From left to right, every forty-nine steps, there are a total of seventy-two columns... There is a different relief on each column, depicting the final results of the seventy-two elves suppressed by the wizards. The appearance of..."

"Elf?" Hearing this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt the witch, pointed to the relief on a railing, and said in surprise: "Is this an elf? Isn't this a demon?"

At the position of his finger, there was a strange creature with sharp teeth and claws, bat wings and a scorpion tail, and four arms. It was raising its head and roaring with wide eyes. Even if it was just a stone sculpture, Zheng Qing could feel the overwhelming resentment - this was not the temperament and appearance that a good elf should have.

"Mountain ghosts, demons and sprites are all elves." Elena continued to check the railings on the terrace one by one, speaking slowly and slowly: "The cold is breaking through the summer, the clear songs are lingering, and the moon is missing. The sparse stars in the courtyard. Why should the spirits wait for the autumn passage?

After chanting, she paused and stopped in front of a railing.

Before Zheng Qing could see what was on the pillar, the witch bent her fingers slightly and gently tapped the upper and lower joints of the railing. In just a moment, she knocked down the originally solid pillar, frightening the wizard to the point where he fell. Taking a breath of air - he looked around nervously. There was no earth shaking, no alarm buzzing, and no demon escaping from the broken pillar.

It seemed like an ordinary pillar that had been knocked down from between the railings.

Before the wizard had finished taking a breath, the witch took out another identical railing from her bag and replaced it. As the clear light passed by, the terrace became complete again, just like the beginning.

"Okay, it's done, let's go back!" Elena stood up, clapped her hands, and said briskly.

Zheng Qing glanced at her blankly.

"Is this the end?" He couldn't help but lower his head and glanced at the pillar that had been 'really replaced', and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Am I here to supervise the work?"
