Ash and Mon stayed in the wizard tower.
The food problem was solved by Meng. He would go out occasionally, perhaps with the help of his hunter friends, and would always bring back some food to ensure basic food and clothing for him and Ash.
There is no way. Who said that the Crystal Forest is a forest, but there is not even a single edible thing to find?
Except for occasional outings, Meng spent most of his time in the library, immersing himself in out-of-print ancient documents like a madman.
He had promised Sigourney that he would guide Ash in his studies.
But he soon discovered that Sigourney was right about one thing: Ash really didn't need much care from him.
For example, Ash is now a high-level apprentice and can start to build a ring of magic, thus advancing to a formal wizard. Meng originally wanted to teach Ash carefully, but after talking to Ash for a few sentences, he found helplessly that Ash understood everything he wanted to say.
Ash had already mastered the rules of the first-level magic "Weakness Ray", all he lacked was time.
He didn't need to get involved in magic. He tried to give Ash some advice on potion making out of his sense of responsibility.
As a result, Ash found more than ten thick notebooks in the study room of Rachel's experimental area. There were ancient magic restored by Rachel herself and black magic created by him, as well as Rachel's experience notes on making potions. Ash put aside the notebook that felt bad, and then gave the potion notes to Meng for appraisal.
As soon as Meng took a look at these notebooks, he realized that it was no longer necessary for him to teach Ash about potions.
Although Rachel was crazy and cruel, her professional skills were beyond reproach, especially in the area of potions, where she was a master.
He confirmed to Ash that these potion notebooks were authentic. It would be much more useful for Ash to study according to the notes than for him to teach him.
After that, Meng swam freely in history without any worries. Whenever Ash encountered any questions in his studies, he would meet with him at meal times and ask for advice seriously. It was particularly worry-free - Ash cooked three meals a day. Originally, Meng thought that as the elder, he should take care of Ash, but he couldn't stand the fact that Ash was always immersed in books and even forgot to eat, let alone cook.
Later, Ash took the initiative to take over the cooking task. He told Meng that while cooking, he could also practice making potions, which was quite interesting.
Meng had a complicated expression at the time, refusing to imagine the intoxicated scene when Ash was cooking. Cooking as a way to make a potion? How did he come up with this idea?
Meng is a go-go person who has low requirements for quality of life. Ash is also a gentle, considerate and easy to get along with. The two of them live in the wizard tower and get along very well without any adjustment.
"Sigourney is so lucky." Meng stared at Ash's handsome face and sighed during dinner.
Ash thought of the dark and bloody corners in the wizard tower he had seen when he recently renovated it, and felt a little depressed: "What's good about it?" He must have suffered a lot in the past.
Meng saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "He met you, isn't that a good thing?" As he spoke, he also felt a little emotional, "If it weren't for you, he would probably have lived a lonely life until the end of his life. Alas, it's not certain whether he can live a lonely life until the end of his life."
Ash tilted his head to look at him. Lord Nance had said something similar. He was particularly worried that Sigourney would run off to bask in the sun if they disagreed.
"No," he corrected. Sigourney was too strong to be that fragile.
Meng smiled and said, "Even if I misunderstood, I certainly don't understand him as well as you do."
Uncle Meng especially liked to tease people. Ash was almost used to it and was not shy at all. Instead, he nodded openly. Yes, he knew Sigourney best.
Meng: “…” He thought he would feel better after Sigourney left, but it turned out to be no different. He was still shown off in various ways.
Seeing his speechless expression, Ash secretly curved his eyes and considerately changed the subject: "Uncle Meng, have you gained anything from reading recently?"
When it comes to topics of interest, Meng's expression suddenly becomes mysterious: "Does it count as discovering an ancient secret?"
Ash was intrigued by him: "What's the secret?"
"It's a secret for now." Meng aroused people's curiosity, but then he retreated mysteriously, "I've only sorted out a clue for now. I'll tell you when I have sorted out all the clues."
Ash nodded in understanding, he knew that the books in the library were not easy to read.
Most of them are ancient documents. Apart from the missing chapters and pages, the contents of the documents themselves are extremely profound and complex. Magic has developed from ancient times to the present, some of which have been further developed, while others have been lost forever in the long river of history. If the documents involve these lost parts, it will be difficult to understand their true meaning.
In addition, in addition to human characters, ancient documents also contain content written in other races' languages. When Ash read a book in front of these strange languages, it was like reading a collection of ciphers, a collection of ciphers that he couldn't even guess at.
But Meng is different.
He is proficient in many languages and can read even the most obscure documents with great interest.
Ash planned to wait until he finished his work - mainly the renovation of the wizard tower - and then ask Uncle Meng to teach him the Elvish language.
I want to give Sigourney a surprise when she comes back.
Now Meng wanted to keep it a secret, and Ash was not in a hurry to reveal the secret. The process of waiting was a very interesting process. With such a little expectation, the monotonous days in the wizard tower seemed to become lively.
Of course, he has another big expectation.
Waiting for Sigourney to come back.
Unfortunately, it’s still too early for Sigourney to come back.
Ash kept in touch with Lord Nance, but the frequency was not high. Even with the protection of the wizard tower, they had to be cautious when contacting each other, otherwise, if they contacted each other too frequently, the possibility of being detected by the enemy would be greater.
There was even less contact with Sigourney.
He was worried that if Sigourney contacted him while she was lurking in secret, her identity would be exposed.
Ever since Rachel kidnapped Aubrey and Shayanna from under the villagers' noses at the celebration, and ever since the huge black ship hovered over Duogu Village, Ash has been full of yearning for magic, but also full of fear and vigilance. He never underestimated the magic of magic, and took the initiative to avoid the slightest risk of exposing Sigourney.
Therefore, it was mostly Sigourney who contacted him first.
But Sigourney's way of contacting people is exactly the same as that of the daily newspaper reporters.
He gave a concise report on how he killed a certain wizard on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.
Especially simple and crude.
Like a series of death battle reports.
Meng read the battle report and lamented that Scarlet Moon was as fierce as ever.
Ash was proud of it...it was his moon.
