Chapter 1912: Chapter 1912: Magic Apostle (33)
Chuzheng was a bit annoyed by the situation; it was clearly something big that wouldn’t be easy to resolve.
It had nothing to do with her, so of course she wanted to avoid it.
But the Good Person Card seemed to be deeply involved, what could she do?
She could only follow along.
So when that group of people was communicating with that "Grey" whose voice was the only thing present, Chuzheng and Suo Wei descended from the sky, startling quite a few people.
"Elvish?"
The young man gracefully saluted, his tone as cheerful as ever: "Hello everyone."
Charles’s gaze, however, was fixed on Chuzheng. How was she hanging out with someone from the Elvish family?
The Headmaster of the Magic Academy thought of something and suddenly looked up at the sky.
His action was somewhat abrupt, causing everyone to subconsciously follow suit,
The dragon was still circling in the sky, much lower than before; its whole body was now in full view, looking even larger than before.
A flash of insight struck the crowd.
The dragon from the auction a while back!
Although its appearance had changed greatly, its color was the same, and now the person from the Elvish family had also appeared.
Was there any need to explain the connection?
A breeze blew from somewhere; the youth’s appearance was exquisite and graceful, as if finely sculpted porcelain, requiring careful handling.
Amidst this strange atmosphere, someone widened their eyes and tremulously pointed behind.
Chuzheng turned her head to see a shadow slowly emerging within a magic array.
It was a man, seemingly in his forties, wearing a conservatively styled magic robe, holding a magic wand.
The youth turned around, squinting slightly with one hand on his chest, bowing: "Teacher Grey, long time no see." His etiquette was so standard it could serve as a model.
The crowd: "..."
What is going on?
What did he call Grey?
How could Grey be his teacher when they weren’t even from the same era?
"Suo Wei," Grey accurately called his name: "You’ve had a hard time lately."
The crowd: "!!!!"
Sharp, knife-like gazes shot at the youth with his back to them.
"Elvish, what’s your connection to Grey? Are you involved in today’s event?"
Someone couldn’t help but shout angrily, questioning.
The youth turned around, smiling obediently: "Grey is my teacher; isn’t it obvious enough?"
"How could it be? You... neither of you are from the same era; how could Grey be your teacher?"
"Why not?"
Chuzheng suspected his next words would be, "I look so good after all," but fortunately, the youth didn’t say that. After saying that, he quietly watched the other party.
-
Clearly, Suo Wei’s appearance added another layer of mystery to the already confusing situation.
This matter, to really explain it, should begin from before this ruin was discovered.
The Elvish Family was flourishing, Suo Wei, the legitimate eldest son, was exceptionally talented, a rare genius.
For over a decade, Suo Wei indeed had a smooth journey.
The family’s nurturing and his talent allowed him to reach heights others couldn’t with little effort.
Of course, such a person also attracted envy.
Suo Wei once went out and only returned to the family after half a year, but he could no longer use any magic.
Without power, he relatively lost the right to compete for Elvish inheritance.
Falling from heaven to hell was a matter of moments.
Everyone thought the pampered young master couldn’t handle such a blow, that he would fall into despair and disappear from people’s sight.
But who knew, this young master showed no signs of depression; instead, his personality gradually became odd...
That oddness didn’t mean he was gloomy or unapproachable; on the contrary, he was too easily approachable, always smiling to everyone.
For a long time, the Elvish Family found it strange and always kept their guard up around him.
However, with no magic, the young master happily spent his days eating and drinking, causing no trouble, provoking no one, so innocently well-behaved it won people’s hearts.
Gradually, people got used to the change in the young master’s personality.
After several probing attempts for power, discovering he just wanted to retire within the family, they stopped focusing on him, shifting focus to other competitors.
But who knew...
Now, in the Elvish Family, the only one left qualified to inherit that position was this always-smiling, seemingly harmless young master.
No one knew when it started, but this young master seemed to be able to use magic again.
Suo Wei became an apprentice during the six months he went missing.
At that time, he was severely injured and, by chance, stumbled into the ruins during his escape.
One wanted to go out for revenge, the other, to leave the ruins and dominate the Western Continent again, and so they quickly agreed.
"So... it was you who forged the Headmaster’s letter, organizing so many students to come here? Was this all part of your calculation!!" The furious voice resounded through the sky and earth.
"With so many innocent people, how could you do such a thing!"
Suo Wei just smiled without answering.
There was no apology, no guilt, no regret.
"Suo Wei, begin," Grey seemed unwilling to waste more words; he’d waited too long and wanted to leave this place.
This place was his grave, as well as his seal.
"Yes, teacher."
Suo Wei felt Chuzheng’s grip on his wrist tighten, he turned his head slightly, silently mouthed ’Don’t worry.’
Chuzheng: "..."
Worry my ass!
The people on the other side reacted and immediately shouted: "Stop them! Don’t let their treacherous plans succeed!"
The youth chuckled softly, then lowered his eyes and began chanting a curse in a low voice.
The crowd rushing forward was intercepted by the suddenly appearing Wuno and others, combat sounds and magical light weaving into a battlefield.
Grey’s shadow stood in the magic array, countless light shadows permeating his body from the array.
With each penetration, Grey’s shadow became more solid.
More and more formations appeared underfoot, awakened by the youth’s low-chanting curse, like keys turning them on.
Those carelessly stepping on the formations found themselves trapped, becoming Grey’s sustenance.
"Avoid those formations!"
"I’ll hold them off; you go interrupt Suo Wei!"
The people Wuno brought were formidable, protecting Suo Wei flawlessly, and with a dragon in the air ambushing, the Headmaster’s group couldn’t break in for the time being.
Chuzheng stood a bit bewildered amidst all this, wondering what she should do now.
As she contemplated this crucial question, Chuzheng caught sight of formation patterns emerging under Suo Wei’s feet.
Chuzheng took a step back, and the formation patterns quickly spread and unfolded, forming a complete formation within a few breaths.
"Suo Wei, what are you doing!" Grey’s rebuke came through.
After forming the formation, Suo Wei stopped chanting, his lips curling into a beautiful smile as he looked towards Grey.
"Teacher, don’t you know what I’m doing?"
Grey’s shadow, now half as solid as before, clearly revealed the expression on his face.
A mixture of shock and anger.
