Son of the Olden Days

"Boom...bang." A slight and slow knock on the door sounded.

"Please come in." Fiona in the pile of books raised her head and held the monocle on her face with some doubts. She hadn't heard this kind of polite knock on the door for a long time.

"Tutor..." The door was gently pushed open by the visitor.

"Huh? Luo... Lorna!? Oh! God! It's really you? Come here, my child, are you okay?" A brief moment of shock flashed across Fiona's face, and she quickly turned into a shock. With a loving smile on his face, he opened his arms to Lorna.

Lorna, with red eyes, threw her head into the arms of her instructor, and the two of them hugged each other for a long time and were speechless.

Fiona is a widowed mage with slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She is more than 40 years old, warm and modest. Lorna was her student. She used to be. Before Lorna's Emilton family fell, Lorna would often come to her to learn knowledge.

Fiona is a typical research-oriented scholar. After years of painstaking research, Fiona is well-known in the mainland. This fame does not come from magic, but from many broader disciplines. Every week she will go to the Magic Academy to teach students some ancient knowledge.

For the young students of the Magic Academy, those ancient and obscure knowledge are inevitably dull, but Fiona is still sticking to her teaching. She believes that these are all part of the ancient history of this continent, and it is necessary for the new generation to know.

Fiona should be the least demanding tutor in the entire college. She never forces students to study, nor does she leave heavy tasks to deprive students of their spare time. It is only good for them to have a general knowledge of the past, and to remember a little.

She knows that the field she teaches is a bit boring, so she often improves the teaching methods to strengthen the interaction with the students.

The students all speculated respectfully that Teacher Fiona's easy-going and warm attitude may be related to her loss of her husband in her early years. Then she found a new spiritual sustenance in the college, treating every student she taught as her own child.

Lorna had always been withdrawn in the college before, perhaps because of the single-parent family relationship, or because of the death of family members, which caused a lot of trauma to her young heart. After the family fell into power crunch, this isolation became more obvious.

Lorna, who was excluded and isolated politically by the surrounding students in the college, devoted herself to the subject of Fiona's tutor without hesitation. Not because of interest, but perhaps the bigger reason is because Mentor Fiona is quiet here and there are no vulgar things that are annoying.

A few years ago, the atmosphere in the mainland was still very relaxed, and the cracking of the four stone monuments on this continent was once popular.

The academic school believes that there may be some ancient secrets buried behind these steles, maybe a huge treasure, or some mysterious power in dust. In short, various speculations started for no reason, which indirectly pushed up the original meaning of cracking the stele.

A so-called deciphering department for the stele came into being. Instructor Fiona and another old scholar with relevant knowledge participated in the deciphering of the stele. Others are responsible for sorting out complex documents and risking the rubbing of inscriptions in the wilderness to bring them back.

It is a pity that cracking the inscription is a long and cumbersome task. The study of knowledge has always been like this, and there is no benefit or progress in the short term. So the trend rose quickly and dissipated faster, and eventually the people in the department left one after another, leaving Fiona alone.

Fiona's persistence was not because she coveted the secrets in the stele, but because it happened to be her area of ​​expertise, which was regarded as a professional counterpart. So after no longer paying attention to any stone monuments, Fiona fell silent and studied alone.

It was during that time that Lorna studied with Fiona. At first, Fiona asked what knowledge Lorna was interested in, and Lorna answered anything. Originally, she was only seeking inner peace, so she would come to Instructor Fiona for no reason.

So Fiona happened to be busy with the study of the inscription every day, and Lorna unknowingly followed it, as if she was boring to find something to do. Gradually, occasionally, I can also help the instructor, such as sorting and classifying the information and other trivial matters.

The style used in the stele text itself is a type of text that has disappeared on the mainland, and it is doubtful whether or not the text has ever existed. However, Fiona gradually figured out how to decipher the text after years of painstaking exploration.

Strictly speaking, it seems to be a niche grammar, obscure and incomprehensible, somewhere between the lingua franca of the ancient continent and the light calendar text. I have to say that Lorna is a smart boy, even if she learns absent-mindedly, she still masters the method of deciphering those words.

Once Lorna asked Fiona inadvertently about the meaning of the text, Fiona murmured that this might be the word of God.

Because when you study deep, you will find that each character will extract the great magic power of the student during the study. The feeling is as vast and profound as reading the books of the entire library, but the teachers and students did not take this kind of non-existence. The assumptions of the basis are too careful.

But since that time, Lorna's interest in this subject has subconsciously increased. After all, things like secrets are often combined with curiosity. Although secrets should have nothing to do with her, sometimes Lorna would guess what kind of secret it is?

Later, Lorna's Emilton family became less and less in the competition for the twenty-four seats in the parliament. Lorna happened to be selected by the Dark Cross to participate in the auxiliary task at that time because of her unpopular magical affinity, that is, the task of eliminating Sol.

Eliminating Sol is one aspect. By the way, Lorna paid attention to the rubbing of the remaining inscription on the third stone tablet by the Wailing Lake. As long as the words of the remaining inscriptions are brought back, the three stone inscriptions in the three directions of southeast and west of the mainland will be gathered.

Unexpectedly, the evil hadn't been eliminated, and he had been eaten by the guy Saul unknowingly, and he still stubbornly took the initiative to dedicate himself for fear of not being able to keep up with that. Every time I think of it, Lorna feels funny and angry. When she finishes her laughter, her heart is full of sweetness.

Today, on this continent, perhaps only the teachers and students, Fiona and Lorna, really master the method of deciphering the characters of the four earth steles. Of course, if there are some wild scholars who have observed the stele silently studying it, then I don't know.

"How have you been all these years? My child." Fiona gently let go of Lorna in his arms, her tone a little sorrowful.

Fiona knew that Lorna's family lost power back then, and she had tried her best in private, but it was a pity that she was just an ordinary scholar and not a real powerist. Later, the Emilton family died, and the whereabouts of Lorna remained unknown. Fiona mourned for a long time.

"I'm fine, mentor, don't worry. By the way, I have found my most important person and I am with him. How about mentor? Is life going well in all aspects?" Lorna lifted the back of her hand and wiped her eyes , As if facing a former mother.

"Just find it, just find it. I'm fine too, and I went to the college to teach students in my free time as before, and my life was peaceful and peaceful." Fiona smiled lovingly, and took out a handkerchief to help Lorna wipe it. Tears on the face.

"Is your research still going on? Mentor." Lorna asked.

"This literature research department has been cancelled, and no funds are allocated. Of course, I never need any funds, but the environment in the mainland is not good now, and the remaining inscriptions are no longer available for rubbing." Ona shook her head.

"Tutor, the students are here this time to visit you, and to confess their mistakes." Lorna halted.

"Oh? I know you were never a naughty kid. What can you make a mistake?" Fiona smiled and helped Lona straighten her hair.

"I stole your research results before leaving last time and completed the research on three steles privately." Lorna said.

Fiona was stunned for a moment, and then quickly laughed happily.

"Stupid boy, don't say anything stupid. What kind of stealing is this? You have been doing this with me, and this knowledge belongs to the entire continent and the entire human race. You can take the heavy burden and move forward. I'm so glad that it's too late."

"Really, it's rare for you to be interested in these ancient knowledge. I'm very happy." Fiona rubbed Lorna's little head.

"Then...Teacher, can I continue the research on the last stone monument left? It's the stone monument in the north of the mainland. I now happen to live in the northern border, the city of freedom." Lorna solemnly looked at herself. Mentor.

"That's great, I fully support you, my child. But pay attention to rest, and the stone tablet is said to be in a wilderness environment. Today the wilderness of the mainland is more dangerous than the early days of the dark calendar. Please pay attention to safety. "Fiona patiently asked.

"Yeah, I will. By the way, mentor, would you like to live with me in the Liberty City on the northern border? It is also very peaceful and peaceful, and I will be able to take care of you." Lorna rushed into the mentor's arms and asked .

"Ha, little fool, I am very pleased with your kindness and consideration, but I am not old enough to need someone to take care of. I can't let go of the students here, and there are a few old friends here..." Fiona was obviously deeply moved by Lorna.

"Okay..." Seeing that the tutor felt attached and reluctant to leave, Lorna didn't force it.

Then the two teachers and students opened up and talked and laughed for a while.

"It's getting late, mentor, I should go too, otherwise he should be worried again. You rest early, and I will visit you when I have time." Lorna bowed deeply and bowed to the student.

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road, and always remember to take care of yourself." Fiona got up a little bit reluctantly.

"You don't have to send it, goodbye tutor." Lorna turned around and hugged the tutor, opened the door and left.

Fiona kept smiling and watched Lorna's back disappear before turning around with emotion.

Suddenly seeing a delicate little cloth bag on Lorna's seat, Fiona twisted the cloth bag and shook in doubt, her face changed and hurried to chase out the door, but there was Lorna's figure outside the door.

"Tutor, I know that you are not a person who values ​​money, but the students don’t know what else to do for you. They can only leave a little mundane things. I hope you can live more comfortably. Your forever student, Lorna Jing on."

There is a small letter raft in the small bag, and ten dazzling longan eyes.

"This silly boy... you have to live a good life." Fiona muttered while covering her mouth with tears in her eyes, looking at the dark streets.

A shadow appeared from the darkness, blocking Lorna's path forward.

After dinner, Lorna suddenly proposed to see her former mentor and asked Sol for three longans. Saul laughed and mocked her for being stingy, counted ten to her, and then accompanied her to go. Now that Lorna came out after so long, she should have seen someone.

"Ah! Are you stupid? You won't wait here all night, right? Didn't you make an appointment to wait in the black tea shop at the corner of the street?" Lorna was moved and angrily moved forward and put her arms around Sol's arm.

"How can I do it? What if my blue-haired shiitake mushrooms think I am not well guarded? Besides, it's dark and gloomy. In case someone takes my little shiitake mushroom away, where do you want me to find such a beautiful and lovely blue? Send small mushrooms?" Thor laughed.

"Woo..." Lorna felt so touched.

"You just have a shit, the little mushroom monster consciously went to the blanket to wait for me at night." The big devil raised his eyebrows.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Great Devil, I'm going to eat you tonight." Lorna clung to Thor's arm tightly, fighting vigorously.

"Oh? Then I don't know which part of the big devil does the little mushroom monster want to eat?" Thor smiled meaningfully.

"Yeah! You... stinky rascal!" Lorna was so provoked that she almost couldn't walk, and Thor was carried on her back.

"..."

After a few days of shopping spree, the shiitake mushrooms of their own shop are finally satisfied and begin to turn around to torment Sol. Every day the hotel room of the Great Devil was attacked by the mushrooms at night. The Great Devil could only defend his glory to the death, and the sheets were changed and changed.

Time flickered like this, and finally came the day of the auction.
