Chapter 36 The Forged Past
"……………Is Miss Litt. Guardian of Miss Canarat? This really surprised me. I thought that the two would be Miss Marian's Guardian."
"Why do you ask this?"
Yi Ming put down the teacup - it tasted good, but the environment in front of him was not very suitable for tea tasting.
"Because of the ability of both."
The cloak wrapped in the academy president moved for a while, but Yi Ming couldn't see her expression at all. Speaking of which, the academy president was really strange. Why did he wrap himself so tightly with a cloak? Isn't she afraid of heat? But it is obviously not a good time to talk about this, and even Yi Ming himself did not expect that the academy president would get into the topic so soon.
"The two are very powerful... No, or it is not right to say this, but I can't find a better adjective. I originally thought... you are the guardians of Miss Marian Brad, because if it were her, the power brought to both of you through the contract would reach that level, although it was a bit incredible, but it was definitely not impossible. But if it was Lita Kanarot, it would be quite strange......"
contract?
Yiming and Mayalie looked at each other in confusion. They were not very interested in the so-called contract, so they didn't ask much about what they were doing. But now it seems that there seems to be something wrong here?
"Don't you guys know yet?"
The head of the college shook his head gently and turned to Lita.
"It seems that you are not competent as a magician."
"No, I'm very sorry! The Academy Chief!!"
"Then I'll explain it."
The principal was not angry, but smiled slightly and turned to the two of them again.
"In fact, you must be wondering why the Guardian and the Magician must sign a contract. This is because, for the Guardian, this is not only a bond, but also an opportunity."
"Binding...opportunity?"
“This is especially true for those who pursue powerful power.”
What an ambiguous answer.
"The so-called contract - does not force the guardian to do anything. It just makes the guardian more closely connected. That is to say, even if the guardian does not protect the magician, the contract will not force him to do it."
It is really contradictory to the so-called bondage before. However, neither Yiming nor Mei Yali said anything, but continued to listen to the principal's explanation attentively.
"The only function of a contract is to provide the power of a magician to the guardian. Strengthen or give them the ability. Every guardian who has signed a contract can more or less benefit from it. The stronger the power of a magician to control the magic spirit, the stronger the guardian will become. However, this ability is only based on the contract. If the contract disappears, the power obtained by the guardian will also disappear. Therefore, the guardian is inseparable from the guardian. If he wants to become powerful, the guardian must protect the magician. Because if the magician dies or terminates the contract, everything he has gained will also disappear."
I see.
But this has nothing to do with us.
Yi Ming didn't care. Neither he nor Meali had ever felt that there was anything more in him. All his abilities were in his own control, they were his own things, and they had no changes. There was no increase or decrease. Speaking of which, he always doubted whether there was any reason why he and Meali could not use magic. Since they could not use magic, could this kind of magic-like contract really take effect on them?
This is a problem.
"Just now, I felt that my guardian had pulled away from me, so I judged that there was danger... I apologize to you again. Although the guardian has a bad personality, he is not a bad person. Strictly speaking, he should be considered a weird person."
Yi Ming shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.
At this moment, the principal turned his head toward Mealie.
"This lady...please forgive me for being rude, your eyes..."
"Mayalie's eyes were born from birth."
Yiming replied in place of Mei Yali.
“………I apologize if it causes your displeasure.”
Hearing the faint unpleasantness in Yi Ming's words, the college president smiled bitterly, but then quickly changed the topic.
"So, can you tell me where you two came from? This is not an inquiry, it's just a simple curiosity."
Lita didn't say anything, and nodded at this time.
"Well, I want to know my brother and sister, too..."
Marien didn't say anything, but when she looked at Yi Ming's gaze inadvertently, she knew that she was also quite interested in it.
Yiming thought for a moment, looked at Mealley and finally nodded.
"Okay, I get it."
A hidden life experience can bring a sense of mystery, but if it is too mysterious, it is not a good thing for others and yourself. So Yiming began to carefully tell the academy and Lita according to his previous settings with Meyer. He and Meyer were raised by a magician who lived in seclusion in the swamp since childhood, and studied there, and finally left and traveled to the outside world. Their weapon was the gift given to them by the magician before they left.
“It’s really surprising.”
After listening to his words, the principal sighed appropriately.
"I did see the sword you were holding... It was indeed a magic weapon, but I have never seen a similar existence before. Who is that magician?"
“He never told us his name, we all called him ‘Professor’.”
"Call the beast?"
As long as the pronunciation is correct.
Yi Ming has nothing to do with this.
"What kind of person is that 'Beast'?"
"A cruel, cruel, extremely arrogant, self-centered guy."
Yi Ming said it was really realistic, and even Mei Yali nodded with this.
To be honest, although that memory was an important turning point in their life, it was also considered a very profound mental trauma. Even when Yi Ming and the others recalled that time in the future, they were still wondering whether their judgment was wrong. Perhaps they shouldn't have anything to do with that person at all. Unfortunately, the situation has come true, and it is obviously too late to regret it.
Yi Ming also gave a detailed explanation about the reasons why he would meet Lita. They got lost in the desert and met the travel merchant Lawrence, and he died in the desert because of "infection". Before he died, he hoped that he and Meallie could come to take care of Lita who had no relatives and no reason. Anyway, for Yi Ming and Meallie, there was nothing urgent to do at the moment, so they came to Lita's house and lived with her. Now, it was like this, becoming her guardians.
"That's how the Guardian and the Magician meet."
The dean obviously didn't think as much as Lita thought.
"You are here, I am leaving. If you meet, stay together. If you are not used to it, then separate and look for new encounters. This is how the world is..."
Speaking of this, she stood up and smiled slightly at the four of them.
"So, can I have lunch with me?"
Walking back, Yi Ming stretched his waist long and looked at the peaceful environment around him. He couldn't help but feel an unusual illusion.
(What are you thinking? Yiming?)
"I'm thinking... Now we should almost be killed with that undead knight."
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Yi Ming smiled strangely.
"It feels strange, right? The 'we' over there are fighting, while the 'we' over here are eating hearty and delicious dishes? When I think of this, I feel that things are really strange."
(That's right... it's true.)
Mealie also showed the same expression, and Marian left them after lunch and returned to her home. It seemed that she was worried and seemed to be thinking about something. But the only thing that reassured Yiming now was that she would not reveal the secret between herself and Mealie. After all, for others, they did not leave for two days, but only for a few minutes. So even if Marian said it to others, no one would believe her.
"So, Brother Yiming, what should we do?"
Lita walked beside Mealie and poked her head out and asked.
“Our goal is clear.”
Yi Ming said, his expression became much more serious.
