What a contradictory individual.
Perhaps feeling Angel looking at her, Qili raised her head and glanced at Angel dissatisfied.
Angel: "..." So, he was disliked?
Kanter also noticed Qili's movements, and he sighed: "Qili experienced something when she was a child, so that's why..."
"Teacher!" Qili's voice was low and hoarse, and she was obviously dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it." Kanter shook his head: "But sooner or later you will have to go through that period of haze."
The conversation between the two masters and apprentices was very novel for Angel. Facing his mentor, Qili not only dared to interrupt directly, but even asked Kanter to take the initiative to back off, which was a bit eye-opening for him.
Unless Kanter and Qili are related? Otherwise, Qili's performance would have been too much. Not to mention respecting teachers, she also failed to show the respect she should have when facing an official wizard.
In the following time, Kanter took the initiative to take over the responsibility of introduction. He first introduced Angel's identity and background. After the introduction, Angel nodded to Qili very cooperatively.
Qili lowered her head and said nothing.
Kanter apologized to Angel, and then introduced Qili's background.
Qili is sixteen years old, just the same age as Angel. However, she entered the wizarding world much earlier than Angel. She has been practicing for seven years and is currently a second-level apprentice. The system is the element side fire system, but its main attack direction is the very special underworld fire.
When Kanter introduced Qili's identity, Qili's expression was a little ugly. She wanted to stop Kanter from time to time, but she was rude once. If she was rude in front of Sanders continuously, let alone maintain a good relationship with Angel in the future. Regarding the relationship, Sanders alone cannot pass the test.
So Kanter simply released the wizard's pressure and suppressed her on the spot, unable to move.
When Sanders saw this, he shook his head and chuckled.
Kanter gave him a helpless smile and said, "Qili is too willful. I hope my friend will bear with her."
Sanders also echoed back: "It doesn't matter if I am concerned or not, the protagonist today is not me."
Kanter also understood the purpose of asking Qili to come here this time, so he looked at Angel.
Angel's expression was very indifferent, and he was not disturbed by Qili's rudeness. His opinion of Qili is neither good nor bad. Although he is a bit willful, since the person who is willful doesn't care, why should he, an outsider, take it to heart. However, Qili's little actions from time to time made Angel feel a little uncomfortable. After all, this was his mentor's mansion. As a disciple, he didn't dare to make too many mistakes, but as a guest, he frequently violated the rules, which was really unjustifiable.
"Alas, when she was a child on Rambo Island, she witnessed the death of her parents, so her personality became extremely withdrawn and introverted. Except for me, she excluded all humans from her own world. I took her to find her in these years There were many wizards, but the treatment was difficult to produce results, so I took her to see the 'Miniature World'."
Kanter's words were conveyed to Sanders and Angel at the same time. Since Qili didn't want him to tell her face to face, he would tell her in secret.
Sanders: "Microworld, Dumartin Bayer?"
"Yes, it's him." Kanter sighed.
Angel also knew the wizard that Kanter was talking about. Because this man is the wizard of the Savage Cave, and he intimidates all the apprentices with his "cruel brain harvesting experiments". The tasks he left in the task hall were often hung at the highest price, but no one dared to take them... just for fear of becoming his assistant and eventually losing his brain. How could he survive?
"I asked Dumartin to examine her brain and found that there were mutations near her cerebral cortex, with many more synapses. It was this kind of synapses that made her fall into her own world and unable to extricate herself, and even she could not control it. ." Kanter shook his head: "DuMartin said this is a brain disease, and it is difficult to get out of it with psychological treatment, unless she takes the initiative to figure it out and is willing to contact the outside world."
"But, you saw. Apart from being relatively close to me, she is completely indifferent and hostile to outsiders."
Angel has a general understanding of what Kanter said, and he probably has autism. Putting autism on top of Qili's head makes all her previous behavior justified. According to the information on autistic children that Angel has read, they are all people who go their own way and are immersed in their own world. Kanter can train Qili to... fear the power of high-level wizards. This is already a great improvement. .
Thinking of this, Angel's dislike for Qili disappeared a little.
"Qili. Roland. Lilith." Suddenly Sanders said Qili's full name, "I remember when you introduced your apprentice to Flora fifty years ago, the person who came was called Roland? She Are they Qili’s relatives?”
Kanter was silent for a while and nodded sadly: "Yes, Heidi Roland is Qili's mother. She was killed by Florence together with Shelly on Lambo Island ten years ago. Shelly is Heidi's My husband, Qili, who was young at the time, witnessed all this."
"'Poseidon' Florence, it seems that it will be difficult for this little guy to seek revenge." Sanders had no idea about Qili's tragic experience, but instead talked about the enemies of Qili's family.
'Poseidon' Florence, a true sorcerer of Song of the Deep, rarely comes to land. But his ability to manipulate water is the best in the entire wizarding world.
"Song of the Deep Sea..." Kanter slowly spoke about this large wizard organization and remained silent for a long time. Although Lilith's House has a lot of high-end combat power, it is still much weaker than Song of the Deep Sea.
I don't know how long it took before Kanter breathed a sigh of relief and said to Angel with a kind smile: "Angel, Qili is not like this by nature. She is actually very kind-hearted. I hope you can understand."
Angel doesn't understand Qili's matter, what does it have to do with whether he forgives her or not? However, in order not to be rude, he still nodded in agreement.
Because they were all communicating in private, the scene was silent for a long time. After a long time, Qili seemed to have discovered something was wrong, and she observed the magic fluctuations around her with a suspicious look. Naturally, Sanders and Kanter's voice transmission skills were not something Qili could detect, but Angel's voice transmission skills were still not detectable by Qili. It was too immature, and Qi Li caught a trace of it.
She immediately changed her face and glared at Angel with great dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the court had changed again, Kanter helplessly touched Qili's head and said comfortingly: "I have something to discuss secretly with Angel. He is an outstanding alchemist. I am discussing alchemy matters with him. You Don’t make the mistake of blaming Angel.”
Qili's anger subsided slightly after being comforted by Kanter, and she buried her head in silence again.
For a moment, the field was speechless.
Sanders was unwilling to interrupt, Angel didn't know what to say, and Qili was autistic and didn't speak. Finally, Kanter shook his long white eyebrows and asked Angel: "You should also participate in the purification. Garden, right?”
Angel actually didn't know what was going to happen in the Purification Garden, but since his mentor said that there were crises but also opportunities, and he went to Sky Machine City in person, he probably encouraged him to participate in the Purification Garden.
Thinking of this, Angel nodded: "Yes."
"That's just right. Qili will also enter the Purification Garden. Then you and Qili can take care of each other."
What Kanter meant by taking care of each other was asking Qili to take care of Angel. In his eyes, Angel's great achievements in alchemy must have taken a lot of time, and his strength was naturally not too strong. But Qili is a real offensive wizard, with elemental side fire, which is much stronger than Angel.
Qili protested dissatisfied with Kanter's arrangement.
Kanter secretly sent a message to her: "Angel has promised to refine a prop for me, but I even gave him a deposit. If he has an accident in the Purification Garden, then I will not be in a big loss." .You can’t bear to see me, a lonely old man, with your expectations dashed, right?”
Qili looked at Kanter carefully, trying to tell whether he was lying.
Kanter smiled and motioned to Angel to take out the soft worm eggs. Angel didn't know why, but he still took out the two wooden boxes that Kanter gave him.
When Qili saw the two boxes, she was silent for a long time and whispered to Kanter: "Okay, I will cover him after entering the purification garden."
Should I cover him? Angel was confused. Didn't they say they took care of each other?
Kanter was very satisfied with Qili's answer. Since Qili promised to protect Angel, she would definitely do her best to do it. Angel's original bad feeling towards Qili might be able to regain some points in the Purification Garden.
Sanders laughed lowly on the side, and took some time out to tease his silly apprentice: "If you can successfully leave the Purification Garden by being protected by someone, I can actually accept it."
Angel returned a look full of complicated emotions.
"That's it. It's getting late today, so we won't bother you any more." Kanter saw Qi Li keep using her eyes to signal her to leave, so he finally complied with her wishes.
Before leaving, Kanter said to Angel: "We will be living in the Lilith cabin in the city during this period. You can come and visit at any time."
Angel nodded politely and watched the two of them walk away in the rain.
Qili's bright red dancing shoes made her look like she was dancing in the rain. The little black cat also followed her rhythm, taking stubby steps. Angel felt that the scene in front of him was like an impressionist oil painting, with a hint of desolation in its beauty.
…
In the early hours of the morning, except for the law and order's magic eyes that were still dimly glowing diligently, the entire Sky Mechanical City fell into silence.
A ray of fire streaked across the deep starry sky and arrived at a flowery manor on the outskirts of the main city.
Sanders is sorting out Angel's physical data in the study. He plans to record Angel's nightmare situation and soul state tomorrow. He is also very interested in the secret technique taught to Angel by Isabel.
Suddenly, Sanders said "Hey" and seemed to have discovered something. He raised his head and looked out the window.
Angel was currently resting comfortably on the bed in the bedroom. He always maintained a high level of mental stress in Bogula's fortress, and was careful not to fall asleep. But when he came to his mentor's manor, he didn't have to worry about his personal safety. He planned to relax and have a good rest.
But before taking a break, he took out the two wooden boxes given to him by Kanter.
