Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 19 19. Dean's Office

Seeing the highly poisonous breath spread, the smoke was already close at hand.It was a dazzling red light that rescued Emma, ​​who dared not look back, closed her eyes tightly, and was afraid of being petrified, from the death line.

The red light brushed past Emma's ears and shot onto the petrified bull's shoulders, bursting out like sparks from blacksmithing.The petrified cow stopped in pain and let out an angry roar with a low voice, which seemed particularly terrifying in such a confined space.

Immediately afterwards, there were several red lights, which accurately hit the thickest part of the petrified beef, avoiding the fatal part. Obviously, the caster did not want to take its life.

The petrified bull roared uncontrollably, then turned around and walked away quickly, finally disappearing at the corner of the corridor.

"You can open your eyes, Emma."

It's Vice President Passy.Emma saw her, went limp from head to toe, and sat on the ground weakly.

"Master Dean... Fortunately, you arrived in time..."

Vice President Passy smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I have been here for a while, just to see how you will react in the face of danger. Your performance is not satisfactory, although you have made such a low-level mistake as not carrying a wand with you, However, he did not lose his fighting spirit in the face of a strong enemy, and tried various methods to deal with it. Well, it deserves commendation."

Although it seemed to be a compliment, these words were no less than a bolt from the blue in Emma's ears.

This vice president, this witch with boundless magic power, chose to stand by and watch when she saw herself fleeing in embarrassment and her life hanging by a thread?Her eyes widened, and she desperately suppressed the urge to yell, almost gnashing her silver teeth.

"If you want to scold me, I can plug my ears and let you scold me a few words."

"...How could it be, Master Dean. Thank you for saving your life."

Emma gritted her teeth.

……

In the dean's room, Emma sat on the sofa.At this moment, her emotions have calmed down, and she is looking around curiously.After all, this is the top-floor office where it is impossible for apprentices to get involved, and the opportunity is quite rare.

Dark oak floors, ivory walls, and translucent copper mesh partitions form a sharp contrast.The silk sofa towel embroidered with white flowers and the woven gold velvet pillow are low-key and subtle.The black lacquer cabinet is inlaid with mother-of-pearl, depicting a wonderful story scene, which should have crossed the ocean and came from a distant eastern country.Silver details that contrast with the black furniture are found throughout the room, such as chandeliers and decorative candle holders.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are completely transparent, giving full play to the unique geographical advantage, while bringing in natural light, it also facilitates day and night views of the most wonderful wilderness skyline.

"Drink the medicine, and then apply this ointment before going to bed, and your feet will be swollen tomorrow."

Vice-principal Passy handed over a cup of potion with white smoke, showing a strange green color, even a little fluorescent.Fortunately, it didn't smell too weird, otherwise Emma wouldn't have the courage to drink it.

She tasted it a little, and it turned out to be sweet, and the temperature was just right.Quickly pour it down in one breath.

After only a few seconds, the pain in the ankle was significantly relieved.

"Thank you...Master Dean. I also trouble you to make medicine for me."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands, anyway, there are ready-made herbs in the dean's room."

"Your office is so beautiful." Emma praised sincerely.

"This is not my office, it belongs to the dean. I just manage the college on her behalf and work here temporarily."

This happens to be the most frequently asked question by the freshmen. After entering the academy for so long, they have not met the dean yet.

Emma took the opportunity to ask, "Where did the dean go?"

"The dean... is not in good health, and has gone to another place to recuperate. But he will come back, and it shouldn't take too long."

Vice President Passy made a cup of tea and said casually.

"Oh...then I wish the dean a speedy recovery." Emma murmured.

In fact, she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Vice President Passy, ​​but she had never had the chance to meet her since the first class.She has a lot of affairs and usually stays in the office most of the time.Emma has countless questions in her mind, all about Grandma O'Hara's past.

"Actually, I've always wanted to chat with you, but I forgot about it when I got busy. If Ms. Pam hadn't summoned me to report the status of the dance, I wouldn't have gone down to find you."

"how did you find me?"

"As long as it's in this castle, there's no way I can't find anyone."

Emma nodded, and put the medicine cup on the coffee table.

"Where is that... dark corridor?"

"Accessing the castle is naturally not the only way to take a spaceship. Under the castle, there is a secret passage leading all the way to the foot of the mountain. What you entered by mistake today is the guardian maze of the passage, which was built with magic, and there are some monsters in it. You should be thankful that what you met was a petrified bull, its movements are very slow, allowing you enough time to delay."

It turned out to be a maze, no wonder I couldn't get out no matter what.

"Is that all you want to ask me?"

Vice President Passy raised one eyebrow and took a sip of tea with a smile on his lips.She seemed to be ready a long time ago, waiting for Emma to speak.

"My grandma... O'Hara Green, is she a witch?"

"It used to be."

"Ever... how did she lose the title of witch?"

"You are wrong. No one can take away the title of witch, not even the king. What O'Hara lost was her magic power. The moment she became weak, she automatically lost her qualifications as a witch. Her perception of magic essence weakened, and she could no longer use powerful spells... Even if she could still pronounce those difficult ancient words, the spells no longer had power... Finally, she lost the ability to remain young and began Aging like a normal person."

No wonder, no wonder grandma is that old-fashioned look.

"After losing her magic power, O'Hara chose to go back to her hometown to live in seclusion. Before I contacted her this time, I received her last letter, saying that she was going to get married with an ordinary rural youth. You know me How shocking it was!"

"My grandpa has been dead for many years... my parents are gone too."

"Well, I know, don't be sad, child. With the accumulation of magic power, your life span will be much longer than ordinary people in the future. You must get used to this inevitable life and death."

This is the cruelty of the wizarding world, learn to turn a blind eye to ordinary things.To long for life to burn in magic, and finally to be crushed in that desolate flame.

"You can only trust yourself, because no matter what happens, it will only be you in the end."

Vice President Passy's voice was very calm, talking about the most cruel topic in the most flat tone.

"My lord, can you tell me how grandma lost her magic power?"

Vice President Passy looked at Emma, ​​looked at her eager eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

"Sorry, child, your grandma told me specifically, but I can't tell you now. Maybe in the future, but not at this moment. You are too weak, you are like a sprout that just broke through the ground, and you don't need to deliberately destroy it , the sun is hotter, the rainstorm is wilder, it will smash you to pieces and return to the soil."

Emma took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and nodded vigorously.

She's smart enough to see right away that it's a form of protection for herself.

There must be an unchallenged force behind the truth, still lurking in the shadows.What I have to do is to grow up as soon as possible, and then uncover this secret, find out the truth that made my grandma lose her magic power, maybe... Maybe I can help her get everything back?
Emma Green, had to be a witch!
