Vol 5 Chapter 15: The gaze of the abyss

"They have gone."
　　
　　 The owner of the Kini Hut turned the glass in his hand and said to the empty wine house. The cyan wine whirled down on the glass wall, and the spherical ice cubes hit the glass wall, making a slight tinkling sound.
　　
　　 There is no one in the Sakura Tavern.
　　
　　 The wooden door upstairs was tightly closed. Just after sending away the two first university students, Kolma told the assistants to take a rest for themselves, so everyone consciously lowered their voices. Across the thick door panels and blurry glass windows, you can see a few passing gray robes walking on tiptoes, like weasels stealing chickens.
　　
　　 "Are you going to hide in the mirror forever?"
　　
　　 Kolma knocked on a mirror on the bar counter and urged: "I only have half an hour to rest..."
　　
"Come, here." A hoarse voice with a bit of reluctance came out from the mirror: "Do you know what I saw? Two streets away, one who just got the'curse seal' from you The young man, out of showing off, showed his friends the'bear-calling technique', and then attracted a three-meter-tall pony bear... Hey, it was really lively!"
　　
　　 The witch's fingers gripping the wine glass couldn't help but tightened a little.
　　
　　 "Is anyone hurt?" She raised her voice slightly.
　　
"Reassuring, reassuring." A nearly transparent mouse crawled out of the mirror slowly and calmly said: "It's just very lively, no one is injured... Although the level of these magicians in the North District is not high, they often go there. Silent Forest, they are very experienced in dealing with such beasts... and you even gave them the spell mark."
　　
　　As he spoke, the color of the mouse's body slipped like mercury and converged in the rippling mirror surface, revealing his old, wrinkled fur.
　　
　　 is the rat fairy.
　　
　　 It's just different from the past. Today, the big mouse didn't sit on the wooden furry, nor was there a mouse wearing a red vest nearby to give him a big umbrella, raise a flag, and act as a guard.
　　
　　 Hearing that no one was hurt, Kolma's nervous mood relaxed a lot.
　　
　　 She squinted and looked at the fat mouse who had just crawled out of the mirror--perhaps because she hadn't used her paws to walk herself for a long time, and the rat fairy's movements when crawling away looked a bit jerky--suddenly laughed:
　　
　　 "I heard that a yellow lily has been looking for you. Are you sure it is the right thing to come and see me now?"
　　
　　 "Indeed, indeed."
　　
After hearing the three words'Huanghuali', the Mouse Fairy was obviously uneasy. He raised his head and looked around for a few times: "I can choose not to come, but I think it's better to come... "
　　
As he said, it looked down at the cup of tea that the witch had pushed in front of it, and carefully examined the shape of the tea at the bottom of the cup, as if there was also a yellow cauliflower buried in the small cluster of tea: "...After all, great achievement Wizarding is a very, very glorious thing. Although the process is not so glorious. On the whole, it is worth celebrating."
　　
　　 "When I became a great wizard, my family put on a table for ten days, and the principal also gave me a rune book drawn by him. A full set of runes. You can't see it on the market!"
　　
　　 Kolma listened to the old rat in front of him talking about old things, the smile on his face quietly reduced, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes. This is about the mercy of a lucky person to the unfortunate.
　　
　　 "...This is my gift." The Rat Fairy groped around his waist for a while, and finally found a simple silver ring with a translucent amber embedded in it.
　　
　　 Across the layer of brown, a shadow of undulating mountains can be vaguely seen.
　　
"Every great wizard needs a place to accommodate his own'existence'." The Rat Fairy put the ring on the witch's finger and explained: "If you don't want to be forced to leave this world like those outside gods , Then you will definitely need this thing... This kind of thing, you will gradually understand... This is the'world' that an old friend of mine gave me before his fall. I think it's a perfect gift. ."
　　
　　 "How long have you been hiding in the mirror?" The witch rubbed the amber on the ring, without asking more about the great wizard. Knowledge involving high-level wizards is not so easy to obtain.
　　
　　 "Fore and aft feet," The Rat Fairy lowered his chin at Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu's departure, and the beard at the corner of his mouth curled up and down, looking particularly proud:
　　
　　 "That kid just came, and I am here...I know what you want to say, but you know there is a word called ‘dark under the lamp’. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is."
　　
　　 The words are good, but this is a tightrope that only the brave guys in the art can walk.
　　
　　 "You are here today, not just to give me a gift." The witch finally made up her mind and asked this sentence. At the same time, she also made a plan to refuse in her heart-if the Rat Fairy wanted her northern wizards to take risks for an impossible goal, she would definitely refuse on the spot.
　　
　　 "Do you know Dr. Terry Dozem." The Rat Fairy asked in a statement tone.
　　
　　 "You told me this name." The witch replied cautiously.
　　
　　 A few weeks ago, in order to find a secret and suitable place to ‘place’ the magic circle, Colmar once asked the Rat Fairy for help. At that time, it offered the witch to find the Doctor Dozem.
　　
But later, for some reason, when the witches hadn’t completely figured out the identity of the Dr. Dozem, the two mice actually said that they had completed the task-now look back and think about it~EbookFREE.me~ at that time Zheng Qing may only complete the task.
　　
　　 This also makes Colmar more vigilant.
　　
　　 She knows exactly how troublesome Zheng Qing is. Just like the relationship between ability and responsibility, for most wizards, the stronger the background, the greater the trouble.
　　
The Rat Fairy smiled and revealed to the new great wizard some secrets on the island: "Dr. Duzem is a genius alchemist who once led the first university's "man-made god" project and made A great result... If that plan is successful, the first university can produce the'Great Wizard' in batches."
　　
"It's just that Dr. Duzem is still too young to do things a bit risky. There was an accident. When the school was investigating the accident, it was accidentally discovered that several of his experiments seriously violated the ethical boundaries recognized by the Union... For example, he used creatures to refine Sage’s Stone; for example, he used the remains of the late Great Wizard to do experiments."
　　
　　The Rat Fairy's words are still a bit vague, and he didn't name exactly what happened to the plan, but the mere revealing of this little news has given the witch the urge to cover her ears.
　　
　　 It is true that she is now qualified to be exposed to these secrets, and she is also very interested in the subsequent development of the matter. But many things are not something you can understand if you are interested and qualified.
　　
　　 is like the saying in the wizarding world, ‘when a wizard stares into the abyss, it is the beginning of the fall, because the abyss will also start watching you at that moment’.
　　
　　 It's a pity, there are things that you can't hear without covering your ears.
