People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Is this still the teacher Se Lian he knows?

"hehe..."

Hearing his words, Se Lian slowly laughed, "Although I don't know whether it's true or not, but with your words, I feel much better."

"...However, although Master said he had given up on researching the origins, he did get a glimpse of them... but that's not something we should be looking at..."

Then, Seren told him what happened after he fell asleep.

When Seren was in Serlia, she did meet her mentor, Master Luther, but at that time, Master Luther had been severely eroded by pyroxene, and it was very difficult for him to speak and move.

Later, she returned to the basement and continued to study the origin.

Hopefully, before seeing Reinhardt's return, she can glimpse the origin and share its secrets with her clueless apprentice.

Not surprisingly, she succeeded.

And three origins were glimpsed.

It is based on the reverse deduction method recorded in the notes provided by Master Wehler, using the magic of origin to trace back to the origin and get a glimpse.

In the meteor-type origin magic destruction meteor created by Master Luther, she glimpsed the moment when a huge star cluster was destroyed.

In the comet-like origin magic comet Azrael created by Master Azrael, the origin she glimpsed was darkness.

And in the oldest pyroxene magic star shower created by ancient stargazers, she glimpsed the starting point of pyroxene magic—

The origin turned from the virtual to the real, and rained down ominous amber on this land.

These three spied-on origins nearly destroyed her sanity.

From then on, she realized how small the border area was, and how insignificant they, the pyroxene magicians, were, like a drop in the ocean.

And those stars, which are the origins pursued by their source school, are full of malice and are such dangerous existences.

There are countless gods with great power, just like the former [Eternal Queen] Marika.

Above that, there is a seemingly illusory existence that has been paying attention to and controlling everything.

In Reinhardt's words, she was a lunatic, a mad scientist, but her sanity was still there, and that was really not something she could touch.

If you are not careful, you will bring disaster and destroy yourself.

At this point, she understood why her mentor Luther had extended that hand when she met him and swore in front of him that she would devote her life to tracing the origins and restoring the glory of the source school.

That's not encouragement, it's a deterrent.

I also understand why Master Wehler wrote at the end of his notes that pyroxene magicians should not try to spy on the origin.

I also understand why the [Full Moon Queen] Lenara stopped them, the pyroxene magicians, from studying the origin and cutting off their knowledge of the origin.

Is it just because of the killing?

On the contrary, the Full Moon Queen is the last Stargazer Girl. She understands the dangers of the stars better and sees them more clearly than the Pyroxene Magician at the end of the Stargazers.

The cost of killing is a world of difference compared to this.

In the past, she hated the Queen and didn't understand why she did that and why she wanted to expel the Source School. After all, their Source School could be said to be the foundation of the former Magic Academy.

Later, she understood the queen and the painstaking effort she put into all this. The origin was indeed something that could not be discovered.

Later, she hopes to become a queen and use pyroxene magic to make everything beautiful.

And now, she has surpassed the queen, and with the wonderful ideas that her apprentice once brought her, she has allowed the people to live a better life than before and made the magic academy even more powerful.

"..."

After listening, Reinhardt fell silent.

He didn't understand what the origin was, but he knew the truth about those stars very well.

It was a shooting star full of malice.

Once upon a time, the Supreme Will dropped a golden meteor that took root in the furnace of life and turned into the golden tree of today.

And in order to punish the evil-filled meteor, he sent a star beast named Esti to destroy the Eternal City.

Afterwards, monsters that turned into beasts from fallen stars appeared in Miguel Volcano and other places for unknown reasons.

Even the White King, the Black King and the Crystal People, they are all visitors from the stars, full of malice, causing disputes and killings in the border areas.

"Teacher Se Lian..."

"It's okay. There's no need to make such an expression. I'm just...feeling a little emotional right now."

Se Lian spoke quietly, with indescribable complex emotions echoing in his eyes.

"All of this... is already in the past. I have let it go. I have made up my mind about my future life. I will live for you, my disciple, and work hard to help you achieve your dreams. Please don't look down on me when the time comes."

Having said that, the light in Se Lian's eyes returned to his eyes, and there was even more doting in the look he gave him.

Se Lian has never considered himself a good person. On the contrary, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is extremely evil.

She has done many wrong things in her life and her hands are stained with blood.

But the only right thing to do was probably to accept Reinhardt as his disciple.

But just like that, it seems not enough for her...

"Of course. You are the best teacher in the world and the best teacher in my heart. You will always be. I will never despise you at any time. Just like you tolerated my stupidity in the past, I will always be by your side!"

As he said these words, the words that Se Lian had once said to him echoed in his mind.

I will do my best to teach you magic, but everyone's path is different. Parting ways is the norm between master and apprentice, and killing each other is not uncommon. This is a simple contractual relationship.

But even if I am betrayed by you, my disciple, I, Se Lian, will not regret it.

so...

"So, Teacher, as long as we live, we will always be master and disciple. This will never change."

"hehe..."

Se Lian smiled.

Although not much was said, there was no need to say anything more, as all the words were contained in this laughter.

Then, Se Lian looked at him again, as if he wanted to completely imprint his appearance in his mind.

Being stared at by Se Lian like this, he felt embarrassed, and suddenly thought of an important thing.

"Um...Teacher, have we forgotten something very important?"

"uh-huh?"

"...That is, where did Melina go?"

He said this in a very awkward tone.

It wasn't until now that he remembered that Melina seemed to be missing.

When Seren took him to see the changes in the academy without saying a word and explained the changes in the academy, Melina seemed to have disappeared...

However, Se Lian did not respond, but just stared at him straight, as if he could see through him from inside out.

And that smile also made him feel a little uncomfortable.

169. Warning from Serenity (4.5K)

Where is the little wood?

Where did my big little piece of wood go?!

And why did Teacher Se Lian look at me like that? It was so embarrassing.

Three questions suddenly filled my mind.

"I'm hunched over."

Just when he was puzzled, those short and plain words sounded quietly in the house, just like Xiao Ai's.

Immediately afterwards, you can see countless lights appearing out of thin air and gathering together, just like King Ailun holding up a curry stick and releasing a treasure.

Azure light particles gradually condensed on the sofa, and the source of these light particles came from his body.

"...when?"

Reinhardt was a little surprised. He didn't know when Melina possessed him and didn't notice it at all.

But judging from Teacher Se Lian's expression, it seemed that he had discovered it early on.

Moreover, the teacher's eyes had become somewhat dangerous for some reason.

Under Teacher Seren's gaze, Melina's figure reappeared, sitting on the sofa with her legs together and her hands folded on her thighs.

She was still as beautiful as ever, with a few waves and smooth shoulder-length chestnut hair. Her delicate features were tinged with a touch of cool beauty. Her plump breasts were barely hidden beneath her clothes, slightly bulging out her chest. On her tightly closed eye, a tattoo-like mark of three claw marks appeared, while the figures of their master and disciple were reflected in her other pure golden-brown eye.

After appearing, Melina first glanced at their master and disciple, then turned her gaze completely to Serenity and bowed slightly to her.

"...I'm sorry for accidentally eavesdropping on your conversation."

Although the voice was still flat without any ups and downs, one could still hear the apology in it.

"It's okay, Miss Melina. You are a companion of my most beloved disciple, Seren, so it doesn't matter if you hear this."

Seren looked at Melina with a smile and spoke meaningfully, while Melina was also looking at Seren.

Obviously, both sides behaved peacefully and there was no sign of hostility, but why did he smell a chilling murderous intent in the air?

"However, I have a question for you, Miss Melina."

"I wonder what the relationship is between Miss Melina and my apprentice?"

"...Reinhardt is my contractor. We have an agreement. I will travel with him temporarily."

Facing the slightly more assertive Seren, Melina remained calm and said, "...He will lead me back to the foot of the golden tree on the Yatan Plateau to find the mission I once lost. I will help him on the journey, and we will travel together."

"Is that all?"

"...Yes, that's all." Melina nodded seriously.

“hmmm....”

Se Lian pinched his chin and looked at Melina again, then stared at her face for a long time, looking at her calm expression that didn't seem to be lying, as if he was thinking about something.

"alright, I got it."

I don’t know what Teacher Se Lian understood.

"Then Miss Melina, could you please go back to the dormitory? My apprentice and I have something private to discuss."

"..."

Melina did not agree immediately after hearing this, but looked at Reinhardt.

With his nod, Melina agreed. "...This doesn't conflict with our deal. Since it's what he wants, I agree."

After saying that, Melina's figure dissipated into light blue particles again and finally disappeared in the room.

Apart from the faint body fragrance lingering in the air, it seemed as if she had never appeared.

"Teacher Seren, why do I feel that you are very hostile to Melina?"

After Melina left, Reinhardt turned his gaze to Serlian again, but found that Serlian was looking at him seriously.

She looked him over, nodded slightly as if coming to a conclusion, and murmured to herself, "As expected..."

"Teacher, what's wrong..."

However, his inquiry received no response, but was met with more serious words from Serlian.

"Disciple, let me ask you...what's wrong with your body?"

"?"

In response to Seren's inquiry, he slowly typed a question mark to express his incomprehension.

But Se Lian didn't care and continued, "Master, I don't know what you think, but why do you allow other beings to reside in your body?"

"This is a taboo, something that must never be touched."

"What's more, you possess the laws of the gods in a human body... Disciple, do you know that many people covet your laws and your existence, and are also trying to eliminate you?"

"Why would you be so careless as to make such a decision?"

There was a hint of anger in Serlian's serious voice, which made Reinhardt's expression pause.
