The Dean Has Arrived

Xi Wei stared at the blob that was exuding green light in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

After all, this is the core part of the banyan tree. This mass is probably the core of the tree. God knows if this thing is accidentally broken, the space will collapse directly.

"No, I think the possibility of the outer barrier collapsing is relatively high."

Sa, who was summoned through the academy beacon... Cough, I mean, after hearing Xi Wei finish talking about the situation here, Fate floated at the same height as the ball, muttering and tentatively Poked it.

However, as a ghost, her actions naturally did not cause any physical impact.

"Why is that old man so reassuring about me? What if I'm not the one who was predicted, or if something goes wrong with the prediction, what should I do if I just destroy this place?"

Xi Wei frowned and muttered to himself with some doubts.

"I think it's because there's no way to be sure whether you're the person in the prophecy, that's why he let you in." With his hands behind his back, Fate floated to Xi Wei's side, a light green spot of light fell on her The surroundings rose and danced, causing the girl's black twin ponytails to glow with a little greenish gleam.

"What does this mean? Are you in a hurry to go to the doctor..."

Xi Wei squeezed his Jingming acupoint with a headache.

"I can understand his mood." There was no joke on Feite's face, she stared at Xi Wei, and said in an unbelievably gentle tone: "Perhaps it was because of impulsiveness or other reasons at the beginning that the promise was made, but at any time As the years go by, the ancient promises have turned into a heavy sense of responsibility, which weighs on the shoulders, and becomes more and more heavy with the fermentation of time..."

Xi Wei looked at the girl in front of him. Although her eyes were still facing Xi Wei, the scene inside was no longer him, but the lonely and strong time that lasted for five hundred years.

"But the more you go back, as your own strength weakens, the more anxious you become about the future. After getting used to the responsibilities on your shoulders, you will always be afraid of the day when you let go of it-at that time, what will happen to us ? On whose shoulders will this responsibility fall? I think the old man you mentioned should also be like this... It's just different from me. Until the day I complete my mission!"

Indeed, although the lifespan of elves is much longer than that of humans. But it's impossible to span thousands of years.

It's just 'enduring not to die'... Will this kind of thing that is incredible to say really happen? Would anyone really go to this level for the sake of so-called responsibility?

Facing the extremely serious expression on Feite's face, Xi Wei couldn't express the doubts in his heart.

He knew that the girl who sacrificed herself and turned into a ghost for five hundred years in order to seal the Lord of Death resonated with the old man who guarded this utopia and even endured not to die for his promise.

"According to what you described. In order to prolong his life, he should have merged with this sacred tree in their mouth, and turned himself into a half-vegetable state to barely survive until now. But this transformation from an animal to a plant should be It was extremely painful...During this period of time, in order not to turn himself into a complete plant, he should have endured that pain and tried his best to maintain his consciousness, and only then did he wait for your arrival. Yes For him, it doesn’t matter whether you are the person in the prophecy, the important thing is that he can finally fulfill his promise and unload the burden of the millennium.”

Fett looked at the passage on the wall with unconcealable respect in his tone. Obviously, compared to her, this old man who has silently endured thousands of years of pain just because of one sentence is more able to interpret the meaning of the word 'responsibility'.

At this time, Xi Wei also thought of the relief-like emotion in the old man's eyes when he came down.

He suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and then slapped the head of the ghost girl who was immersed in the sadness of the past. Because of the use of magic power, although it still only passed through the girl's body, it still made her feel startled as a ghost.

"What are you doing!" the girl barked her teeth and claws, shouting angrily. It seemed as if Xi Wei would bite off a piece of meat from him as long as he couldn't come up with any good reason.

"That stinky look doesn't suit you at all."

Xi Wei ignored the threat of the ghost girl: "And don't think that the Lord of Death has been killed by me, you have no responsibility at all! Now you are one of the three sages of Edric. Before our academy becomes number one in the world... no, even after our academy becomes number one in the world. Don’t even think about giving up your burden!"

Perhaps because he felt that these words were a bit hypocritical, Xi Wei turned his face to the gloom emitting dim light instead of looking at the girl in order to hide his shyness.

But the girl destroyed the current atmosphere with a simple sentence.

"What does it mean to lay down the burden?"

"..."

Xi Wei scratched his head speechlessly: "Don't worry about putting down the burden for now, it's more important to continue thinking about how to pass the so-called trial."

He looked at the girl with a dissatisfied expression. He added: "Besides, you don't want that old man to assign responsibility to someone else, do you?"

This sentence was like a spell, which made Feite quiet all of a sudden.

"All in all, what we need to do now is to take out the magic book inside, right?"

The girl observed the ball for a while, and finally shook her head: "No, there is no trace of magic outside, and there are no runes or anything like that. I am completely at a loss as to what to do!"

"Speaking of which, I have a good thing."

Xi Wei opened the achievement store panel of the academy system, paid a certain amount of achievement points, and bought a master key from it: "Clang clang clang! A magic key that can open anything!"

"Oh, it looks very powerful, so quickly open this thing to see if the so-called magic book is inside."

Feite looked in surprise at the subtle but precise key-shaped magic item in Xi Wei's hand.

"But I have one more question before I open it." Xi Wei held the key in his hand and made an insertion motion out of thin air: "Is there a hole in that thing where the key can be inserted?"

"..."

Well, the answer is no.

"What's the use of you!" Xi Wei threw the key to the ground with a look of indignation.

"You should have been aware of this problem before you took out this thing!" Feite sighed helplessly.

"I can only try other methods..."

Xi Wei touched the ball and sighed.

Just when he was about to start the second miracle, Feite suddenly said: "Xi Wei, there... there are cracks on the top!"
