Chapter 115 How Are You Doing at School?
The young woman pushed open the building door and took Ada into the foyer. Whether outside or inside the building, this orphanage was much better than the one in London.
To the left of the foyer is a clean and spacious dining room and activity room, and to the right is a reading room and several classrooms. Directly opposite the door is a flight of stairs, and behind the stairs is a locked underground storage room.
Along the stairs, Ada followed the young woman to the second floor and walked towards the innermost room. Children she saw on the way would greet them politely. Some children would call the young woman Miss Nelson, and some would call the young woman Miss Nelson. Her children called her Catherine.
Arriving at the door of the innermost room, Miss Nelson knocked gently and said, "Ms. Valente, I am Catherine. Miss Esmeralda Traister has arrived."
Ms. Valente, as described by Katherine Nelson, is the person in charge of this orphanage. She is a very capable middle-aged woman, and it is all her fault that she can maintain this place so well.
The door to the room was opened, and the kind-faced and well-dressed Ms. Valente came out. Ms. Valente adjusted her glasses and looked at Ada and said: "You are as beautiful as she said, come in, she will be waiting." You’ve been around for a long time.”
Ada and Ms. Valente entered the room one after another. Miss Nelson did not follow, but returned to the yard to take care of the children playing there.
The room was not large, and the items placed all belonged to Mrs. Mary. Ada also saw a photo of herself and Mrs. Mary before going to Hogwarts, as well as a photo of herself that she had sent before (of course not Moving, ordinary photos).
Lady Mary was sleeping on the bed. Her face looked terrible, her face was gray and haggard, and her brows were tightly knitted in one place even in her sleep because of the pain.
"After coming back from the hospital, she became very lethargic and could not stay awake for many times every day." Ms. Valente brought Ada a chair and continued, "A kind-hearted person like her should not have to suffer this kind of thing. painfully."
Ada and Ms. Valente sat down on the bed together. Ada's eyes never left Mrs. Mary. Mrs. Mary, who was tortured by the illness, was thinner than when Ada left. Even without magic, Ada can now Pick her up.
"When did it start?" Ada asked softly, not wanting to disturb the sleeping Lady Mary.
"She was still showing off your letter to me at Christmas. A few days later, her physical condition began to get worse and worse. She couldn't lift her spirits every day. She didn't pay much attention to it at the time." Valente The lady recalled, "After Easter, she suddenly fainted in the yard, and then we sent her to the hospital. The doctor said..."
Ms. Valente did not continue speaking. She turned her head away and sniffed. Such an action should not have happened to her, but as she said, a kind-hearted person like Mrs. Mary should not suffer such a thing. pain. She was pitying Lady Mary as well as herself.
"The doctor originally wanted to keep her in the hospital, but she insisted on coming back, and we couldn't get her to do it." Ms. Valente continued, "In the past few days, several children she had taken care of came to see her, which is quite surprising. What a relief.”
Ms. Valente sat with Ada for a while, chatted a few words about Mrs. Mary, and after caring about Ada's study situation, she proposed to leave. She said: "You can stay alone with her for a while, wake up." If she can see you, she will be very happy. I will arrange a place for you to live, and then go see the children."
After sending Ms. Valente away, Ada took off the "Last Glory" hanging around her neck. On the way from Hogwarts to the orphanage, Ada was thinking of ways to see if she could help Lady Mary survive this crisis.
Naturally, the first thing Ada thought of was a magic potion, but after thinking for a long time, Ada couldn't think of any magic potion that could be suitable for Lady Mary's condition. At most, it would help her delay her death.
Ada even thought of the decoction used by Grover Cecil, but this potion requires the person who takes it to have magic power, and Lady Mary is just a Muggle. Obviously this potion is ineffective on her and will only hastening her suffering and death.
After much deliberation, there was no result, so Ada gave up on the potion, changed her mind, and then thought of the ring hanging on her body. One of the passives of the ring is wild growth, which is used to increase the wearer's vitality. If Mrs. Mary's vitality is improved, maybe she can recover!
Ada thrust the ring into Lady Mary's hand and waited for the passive savage growth to take effect. But the ring that was originally glowing became dim as soon as it was placed in Mrs. Mary's hand, as if it was just an ordinary black iron ring.
Ding! Ding! Ding! The beeps of the system kept blasting in Ada's mind, like a tight spell. Ada did not expect that this broken ring also had the function of automatically alarming when the human ring is separated. Fortunately, it did not automatically explode when the human ring was separated ten meters away, otherwise this would have happened. Ada has become a demolition genius.
Holding back the ding, Ada turned on the system prompt, but she still didn't give up and didn't take the ring back.
[The Last Glory cannot be effective on wearers other than the host. Please take it back as soon as possible! 】
It was another exclusive prop like a trial doll that could not be used by others. Ada reluctantly took the ring back, but this time she did not hang it around her neck. Instead, she cut off the red thread and wore it directly on herself. hands.
Rings worn on different fingers have different meanings. The right hand has no meaning except for the ring finger, so you can wear it casually. But Ada is right-handed, and the dominant hand of the wand is also right-handed. It is somewhat inconvenient to wear the ring that can be turned into a shield on her right hand, so she wears the ring on her left hand.
The left hand is the luck given to mankind by God. People usually wear rings on the left hand. She wore the "Last Glory" on the ring finger of her left hand. Ada also hopes that her luck will be better.
If worn on the thumb, it is usually a symbol of power and status. The index finger means that you are not married or have the idea of getting married. The middle finger means that you are in love or you are engaged. It is a sign that you will enter the love grave. The little finger means that you do not want to get married, or you want to get married. Willingness to live alone.
The meaning of wearing a ring on the ring finger of the left hand should be the most familiar to everyone. It is the finger closest to the heart, so it means being married. Ada is just a fourteen-year-old girl, how can she be married? She wears it on her ring finger just because it is more comfortable and does not delay anything.
Ada rubbed the ring, and she didn't feel any change after putting it on. Things like vitality and willpower are indeed difficult to visualize. You can't add a health bar to Ada's head!
In addition to the prompt about the ring, the system also has another prompt about disembodiment. Because she followed Professor McGonagall to phantom, Ada has now mastered this method of movement, but not to a high degree. That’s all.
Lying on the bed, Mrs. Mary's brows furrowed even more tightly. Ada had also experienced this feeling of hopelessness, so she could relate to it better. She reached out her hand and smoothed Mrs. Mary's brows gently, just like someone else had done to her before. Same as ever.
I don't know whether it was because she felt Ada's presence or the wild growth just now had an effect, but Mrs. Mary's ugly face turned a little rosy, and she also woke up from her sleep.
Mrs. Mary looked at the girl in front of her uncertainly. When she was sure that the person in front of her was Ada, a glimmer of light bloomed in her eyes. She opened her mouth with difficulty and said slowly: "Ada...are you there?" How was school?"
