Chapter 176 Upgraded Magic (3K)
The moment she launched the attack, Helvinia regretted it.
Because it was too urgent, really too urgent.
Just as Bai Wei said, everything Hevinia did today was to tell the man in the dark that if he didn't take action, he would have no chance. Because he couldn't snatch the person under the watchful eyes of Phoenix, even if Hevinia failed in the end, the music and the score would not fall into his hands.
So, this was Helvinia forcing him to show up before the seven syllables.
She also knew that the other party must have been paying attention to her.
So when she saw the figure hiding in the shadows and spying on her, Hevinia's first reaction was that guy, and then she attacked him directly.
But when she launched the attack, she suddenly realized that now was not a good time and she was not ready yet.
There are still three days until the Seven Syllables holiday. She can make full preparations in these three days. At least she should learn all the private music scores that Arianna gave her.
But now, she took the first step.
It alerted the enemy.
It can only be said that the conversation with Bai Wei just now greatly affected her thinking, causing her to fail to make the correct judgment in the first place.
In that case, just give him a quick chase, then pretend you can’t catch up and let him go.
Hevinia thought so, but soon she discovered that the person she was chasing seemed... a little panicked.
He didn't fight back or use any spells, he just ran, leaving a series of footprints of varying depths in the snow, looking very panicked and embarrassed.
This allowed Hevinia, with the help of magic, to easily close the distance.
Is it possible that the person who targeted her is so weak?
Helvinia felt suspicious, so she raised her staff again and aimed at the opponent's feet.
Then with a "bang", a secret technique was shot out, and the man fell into the snow.
Helvinia caught up to him easily and placed her staff against his forehead before he could raise his head.
"Who are you?" Hevinia asked coldly.
The other person slowly raised his head, allowing Hevinia to see that extremely familiar face, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ogg?"
…
Og sat obediently in the snow. Hevinia, who was standing next to him, moved her wrist holding the staff slightly, and the wound on Og's leg healed quickly.
He lowered his head and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Thank you, thank you."
Hevinia raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for healing me."
"Do you think I want to hear that?" Helvinia poked Ogg's head with her staff. "Shouldn't you tell me what you were doing there?"
"I, I... came to give you this." Oger's body was shaking, whether it was because of the cold, the pain from the injury, or something else. But he took out a book from his arms tremblingly, and then stammered to Hevinia, "I think you must be in a hurry, so I just want to give it to you quickly."
Helvinia looked at the book in Ogg's hand.
The title of the book is "The Lost Music Score" and there is a seal on it that says "This book is prohibited from being taken out of the library and is prohibited for students below the fourth grade to read."
This was the book she had asked Og for during the day.
She was silent for a while, then took the book and tapped his head with her staff. "I'm not asking you that. If you came here, why don't you just come and find me? Why are you running away when you see me?"
Oger lowered his head and said nothing.
This surprised Hevinia a little, because Ogg had never failed to respond to her before.
So she narrowed her eyes slightly and decided to provoke Oger: "Why? You know I was hit by the caressing technique and think I am no longer clean, so..."
Oger immediately raised his head, his face full of horror: "No, no, no, why would I think so!"
"Then why did you run away when you saw me?!" Hevinia asked angrily, "Don't you hate me? Don't you consider me your friend anymore?"
"No, that's not it."
"Then why?!"
"No, I just, I just..."
"Just what?" Helvinia demanded. "Tell me, don't you dare?"
"I just..." Oger's face flushed anxiously, "I just heard that you were leaving!"
Hevinia was slightly stunned: "What?"
Oger also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head again.
But this time he did not remain silent, but said in a very low voice: "I, I saw you coming out with the senior from the Second College. I, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to bring you a book, but I saw it, and then I heard from other people that you would leave the Third College after the seven syllables, so, so..."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into an extremely light "I'm sorry".
Hevinia looked at Og, then looked at the book in her hand, then leaned over and sat down next to Og.
Oger was startled and subconsciously turned his head to see Hevinia's almost perfect profile with an even more perfect smile.
"So that's what happened. Do you think I won't come back?"
Oger was a little stunned: "No, isn't it?"
"Of course not," Helvinia said, "I will be back after the ceremony, won't I?"
"The celebration must continue..."
"It's just a few months." Helvinia tilted her head and looked at Ogg, "Why? Does that mean we won't be friends anymore after I come back in a few months?"
"Of course not!"
"That's all!" Hevinia patted Og's back fiercely. "Besides, aren't you happy for me that I can attend the ceremony?"
"Of course I am happy!"
"Then do you think I can get the last grace?"
"Of course you can!" Oger, who was stuttering at first, gradually became more fluent. "Of course you can, Hevinia."
"Really?" Hevinia suddenly looked worried, "But I feel like I'm really far behind the other gold-level masters."
"Why, how could that be, Helvinia, you are the best!"
"Really?" Hevinia's eyes smiled like crescent moons, "Hehe, I hope the Lord of Holy Sound agrees with you, then I will definitely get the grace!"
After several exchanges, both of them seemed to have forgotten what had happened before.
They sat here as if they were sitting in Arianna's class.
After a long time, Hevinia stood up from the snow, stretched and said, "Ahhh, we've been chatting so late again. I have to go back, or I'll have to spend the night with you again."
When Oger heard the words "spend the night together", his cheeks turned red again and he was speechless for a long time.
He watched Hevinia standing under the colored lights, looking at him with her head tilted.
"Ogg, the Seven Syllables are coming soon," Helvinia asked. "Do you have any wish?"
"Wish?"
"Yes, don't you know? On the day of the Seven Syllables, if you put your wishes into a song and sing it out completely, you will receive the blessing of the Lord of Holy Sound."
Oger was a little stunned. He seemed to have never thought about such a question before, so he stuttered and asked, "I, I don't know yet... What is your wish?"
"My wish~" Hevinia smiled with narrowed eyes, "I won't tell you."
"ah."
"But I will perform it at the ceremony," Helvinia's voice gradually became quieter. "And it will be a solo."
"Ah, you, what did you say? I didn't hear you."
"nothing."
Hevinia shook her head, shaking off the snowflakes in her hair, and then waved to Ogg.
"Let's go first. Also, happy Seven Syllables!"
After that, Hevinia turned and left.
Og was left alone, standing in the dark snow, watching Hevinia's figure disappear in the colorful lights.
Then, he spoke softly in a voice that only he could hear.
"Why am I not a gold rank?"
No one could hear him, so he could only turn around and leave, walking in the opposite direction of Hevinia.
…
"How pitiful." Bai Wei's voice sounded in Hevinia's mind, "A dog walking into the darkness."
"Mr. Visas still has any compassion?"
"Yes, there are two more, but I only gave one to him."
"So where's the other one?"
"The other one was given to a moth that flew into the fire without knowing whether to live or die." Bai Wei replied with a smile.
Helvinia fell silent, but said nothing, and walked alone into the blazing splendor.
…
After saying goodbye to Hevinia, Og hurried to the library.
He still has to keep watch tonight.
The seven syllables had no special meaning to him who had risen from the seed area.
If I have to say, the reward for keeping watch at Seven Syllables is probably a little more than before.
However, he had wasted too much time at Hevinia's place, and it was already quite late. If he was caught by the librarian at this moment, he would certainly be scolded.
Thinking of this, Oger couldn't help but quicken his pace.
When he arrived in front of the library, Oger's heart skipped a beat.
Because he saw the light.
Logically speaking, there should be no one here at this time.
...Was it discovered by the administrator?
Oger walked in with his head held high. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Administrator, I'm late!"
But no one answered him.
The museum was so quiet that the only sound I could hear was my own echo.
Og raised his head and saw no one. There was only a candle and an open book on the table.
As for the person who was reading, I don’t know where he went.
Has the administrator left?
Oger walked forward with some doubt.
For some reason, he always felt there was a strange smell in the museum.
It's like... blood.
Oger was shocked by his own thoughts, and then he couldn't help but think of the snow thorn beast in the forbidden forest that had been circulating in the academy these days.
He immediately became nervous.
...Could it be that the Snowthorn Beast has run into the library?
Oger was hesitating whether to pick up a chair to defend himself. After all, although he was a player, his rank was too low and he didn't even have a staff.
But in these few seconds of hesitation, he walked to the candlelight, subconsciously glanced at the open book, and then he was stunned.
Because the title of the book is clearly——
"Magic of Ascension".
I actually wrote seven thousand words today. It was really hard for me.
By the way, I recommend this book.
When he came to this world, Sleeping Beauty was not yet born, the Little Mermaid had not yet met the prince, and the tea party behind the rabbit hole had not welcomed a girl named Alice. Then, he came - the magician of miracles and wishes.
