Chapter 433: Strategies for the Spiritual Mage (7)
Another twenty-five years have passed, and Emil is already seventy-five years old. She stopped helping out at the bookstore a long time ago, and became a Chinese teacher in the town after studying for a certificate. She is also the most outstanding and oldest Chinese teacher in the town.
When she is in a good mood, she loves to share with her students the story of the Spiritual Mage and his sweetheart. Her students have listened to this story for years and never get tired of it. How much they yearn for the Spiritual Mage that exists in history books, and they are eager to know more about the Spiritual Mage. Do Spiritual Mage really exist? Their parents don't really believe it, but their Chinese teacher is so old, how could the things she keeps telling be false? Therefore, most of the students come to listen to it seriously.
On this day, Emil, the oldest and most outstanding Chinese teacher in the town, was telling the story of the Spiritual Mage and his sweetheart again. All the students sat quietly in their seats, with their hands on the table, thinking non-stop.
"The magician who had just succeeded in his training came to an unknown town. He fell in love with a girl at first sight. He fell in love with the girl, so he always paid attention to her silently. The girl had a good friend in the town, who was the manager of a bookstore, but she was a very sleepy person and was often late. The girl was very considerate and always went to the bookstore early every day to help her friend deal with the bookstore's affairs. Later, he made up his mind to talk to the girl. Things should have developed towards a happy ending, but the town was suddenly attacked by the Black Death Monster. The girl sacrificed her life to help the magician. The magician tried his best to save the girl, but the girl was cursed by the Black Death Monster to live forever and could only live to the age of 25."
"The magician was heartbroken, so he used magic to freeze the time of this village forever at the time when the girl was between 20 and 25 years old. From then on, every noon, the town began to repeat itself like clockwork. The girl always went to the bookstore early every day to help her friend with the bookstore's affairs. The magician went to the bookstore on time every day and sat by the window waiting for her to finish and sit down. The magician hardly talked to the girl, but he often muttered to himself about things related to the girl: she smiled at Ellie, she bought books, she should go home, she was a little tired..."
"The huge magic was consuming the life of the magician every day, and gradually, the magic in the town disappeared. Life in the town returned to normal, but people always felt that something was missing: where were the girl who went to the bookstore every day and the boy who sat by the window and looked at her. No one knew, and no one pursued it. Only the girl's good friend remembered the little girl who went to the bookstore every day, and she firmly believed that the girl would come back again."
"Many years later, the people in the town had forgotten the girl who liked to go to the bookstore and the boy who always sat by the bookstore window and watched her. Two strange children came to the town. They held hands all day long, laughing and singing songs that no one else knew the answer to. Later, the two children grew up and went their separate ways. One became a magician, and the other stayed in the town. Many years later, their memories of each other almost disappeared, but fate had it that the magician returned to the town. He fell in love with the girl almost at first sight. The town continued to repeat the story about him and the girl."
Emil walked down the podium slowly, and the children in the classroom were still listening intently. The bell rang, and she knocked on the table to remind them.
The children suddenly all looked at her, vying to raise their hands to ask questions:
"Teacher, is that girl the child who played with the spirit wizard?"
"Teacher, are all the stories behind the town created by the spirit wizard alone?"
"Did the spirit wizard know that the girl was his playmate when he was young the moment he saw her?"
"Did the spirit wizard pay any price for using spirit magic?"
"Is this town our town?"
...
Emil pushed his glasses, smiled and did not answer, but turned his eyes to the window.
A girl who just came back from the bookstore happened to pass by the window, with an innocent smile on her face, and a man wearing a mask followed her silently.
The man suddenly felt something, and his eyes fell on the face of the old Emil, and the two smiled at each other. Emil suddenly felt relieved.
In the story of the spirit wizard and his sweetheart, the girl's good friend never had a name, and no one cared. But when she saw the smiling girl, she didn't care about it. As long as the people she cared about were alive and well, it would be fine.
The man waved goodbye to her from a distance, and hurriedly chased after her in the warm spring breeze. He shouted to the girl, "Excuse me, is this the handkerchief you dropped?"
The girl stopped and turned around, smiling at him, "Thank you, it's not mine."
"Then who could it be?" He showed distress in his eyes.
"I'll help you look for it." The girl comforted him kindly.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?" The studious child raised a bright smile and waited for her answer.
"Nothing." Emil pushed her glasses but accidentally touched her old wrinkles. Suddenly, she felt that time was passing quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was already a gray-haired old woman. She didn't know how many more times she could continue to participate in the story of the magician and his sweetheart. Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful.
"Teacher, I want to ask a question secretly. Can you tell me secretly?" The little girl had a chubby face and blue eyes that reminded her of herself when she was a child. She spoke with a move in her heart, squatted down gently and looked at her straight in the eye: "What do you want to ask?"
"I want to ask why the spirit master always just secretly stares at the girl and doesn't talk to her?"
"How do you know they didn't talk? They started talking this time."
She used all her strength to hold the little girl and looked out the window in the direction where the two people left. The little girl saw them and turned to look at her again, with surprise in her eyes.
Emil blinked at her, and his old hand gently scratched her nose, and whispered: "Keep the secret between you and me."
The girl held her chubby face and nodded heavily, and looked out the window again. The two had gone far away and only their backs were left. The young girl didn't understand what this feeling was, until she grew up and realized that the feeling at the time was called "destiny".
They were destined to meet again, destined to meet, and destined to be together.
