Chapter 308 Epilogue

After the contract was signed, Elena did not immediately break free from the sapling and walk out of the transparent sphere as Zheng Qing had imagined.

She still closed her eyes and lowered her head, like a sculpture.

"She will come back, but not now."

Mr. did not hide this: "You need to know that we have done everything we can do. The rest depends on her. Just like someone who fell off a cliff, we have thrown the rope down and she has grabbed it, but it is unknown when she can climb back up the cliff along the rope."

"Maybe an hour, maybe a day, maybe a month, maybe a year." Mr. did not continue.

Zheng Qing felt that he had explained enough.

"Okay, okay, now that you're done with your work, you should go back to school!" The yellow cat stood, clapping his paws, wagging his tail, and signaled the two young wizards to follow him: "I'm only responsible for sending you to the school... If you go back too late and are locked outside the dormitory by Master Ni Wu, it's none of my business." Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. "We seem to have missed today's class meeting." He muttered and smiled at Jiang Yu reluctantly: "Is it too late for me to ask for leave from you now?" The witch glanced at the young student on public funds. "Today is Saturday." She reminded softly: "The class meeting will be tomorrow night." The boy suddenly realized that he had remembered the wrong time. So many things happened in just one day, making him feel out of touch with the real world. Magic can transform life and death and reverse time and space, but it cannot shorten the distance in the heart. "Pay attention, I'm going to open the door!" Huang Huali pulled open the glass door of the big clock in the corner of the bookstore and shouted to the two young wizards: "Pay attention and seize the time..."

Jiang Yu tightened his windbreaker, nodded to Zheng Qing, and walked over first.

Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, looked back at the transparent ball floating above the desk not far away, looked at the sapling, and finally couldn't help asking Mr.: "Where will she be?"

"Are you asking if she will be taken away by the Gypsy Witch Group?" Mr. knew his disciples' mentality very well, and comforted them: "At present, the Gypsy Witch Group does not have enough ability to maintain this protective barrier... She will stay in our bookstore for the time being. Until she wakes up."

This answer made the boy feel relieved.

He didn't know where the Gypsy Witch Group was stationed, and his contact with those witches was limited to Elena. If Elena was taken away by her elders, I'm afraid they would never meet again.

Now that Mr. is taking care of her, he can rest assured.

"Hurry up!!" Huang Huali screamed.

Before the wizard finally left, Mr. Wu gave his last instruction: "Today's matter ends here, but your real trouble has just begun."

"The more you know, the heavier your responsibility."

"There are still a few weeks left in this semester. I will find a suitable opportunity to take you around and take a look around, so that you can get familiar with your identity as soon as possible... and prepare to take on more responsibilities."

Zheng Qing nodded, not knowing whether he should be happy or heavy in his heart.

"Let's talk later if there is anything! The passage is about to be closed!!" Huang Huali roared loudly while pulling the glass door of the clock.

The sound made the whole bookstore buzz and tremble.

...

...

After sending the two young wizards back to school, Huang Huali went straight back to the front desk of the bookstore.

Mr. Wu had returned to his desk, squinting his eyes, staring at the bookshelf a few steps away, as if he was thinking about which book to choose. The glass ball containing the sapling floated on the side of the desk, with golden light in the ball, which made the sapling look much more energetic.

"What should we do about school affairs? Do you really not care?" Huang Huali jumped onto the desk and stared at the teacher.

"What happened in school?" The teacher seemed a little surprised: "Isn't everything fine?"

"Everything is fine?!" Huang Huali's cat face was twisted, and she screamed at the top of her voice: "Students from the two colleges are fighting everywhere, the professors are indifferent and have gone into the Black Prison to stare at Xuan Huangmu in a daze, the black wizard and the Moon Council are flirting on Phuket Island, and there are two mice running around!! You actually said that everything is fine?!"

"You forgot the most crucial point," the teacher raised a finger and reminded: "A great wizard appeared in the North District, a great wizard who created the future for magicians."

Huang Huali puffed his cheeks, as if he wanted to be more angry.

Mr. Wu raised his second finger: "Why should I worry about the school? If students fight, there will be school rules and regulations to deal with it; professors guard the Black Prison because it is worth guarding... Maybe you have this or that opinion about Xiao Shihui and Ruoyu, but they are all very wise wizards."

"As for the Moon Council and the Dark Council, they have been like this for thousands of years. It makes no difference whether I am here or not."

"The only thing worth caring about is the newly promoted great wizard in the North District of Beta Town."

"Just a great wizard, what's there to worry about?" Huang Huali obviously didn't understand why the bookstore owner cared so much about the young witch: "And the North District is just a group of magicians..."

"Magicians are also wizards." Mr. Wu corrected seriously.

The cat raised his paws: "Yes, yes... I mean, a group of ordinary wizards, just."

The gentleman put away two fingers, crossed his hands, hugged each other, and looked at the bookshelf a few steps away in trance. His voice seemed a bit deep in the silent bookstore:

"They were originally free and had no gods, but they created a god. Standing on the outside, it is difficult for us to evaluate their behavior. But I know that there are gods in this world. Real gods, for them The behavior will be very angry.”

“People would rather be a believer in the sun than huddle in the freedom of a sewer.”

"The history of the North End is like the ramblings of a madman, made up of chaos, distortion and darkness intertwined with each other. For the first time in history, the people of the North End can escape from the chaos and distorted reality, and history has Anchor, with the soil where 'reason' exists."

“This is to prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, to make his paths smooth in the sand” (adapted from Isaiah 40:3)

“‘He who is holy and true has the key of David; he who opens it cannot shut it.’” (Revelation)

"So? What do you want to explain?" The yellow-breasted civet sounded a little impatient, waving its claws as if to swat the harassing insects in the air.

"Time is great. One day, you and I will all perish. Dreams, ambitions, fears, good and evil, everything will turn into dust and be buried together in the unfathomable place of Guixu. And in Guixu After that, a new world is born and a new life blooms. Everything that does not belong to you or me will belong to the new generation."
