Chapter 8: All Because of Man Tuo Hua (1)

  I leaned against the corner of the wall, staring blankly at my own hands.

  Watching the person lying on the ground turn into a wisp of white smoke and disappear before my eyes.

  "Ding Wei, Ding Wei, Ding Wei..." Da P kept shouting at me, but I didn't respond.

  It seems like I heard someone whispering in my ear: "You are not Ding Wei, you are not Ding Wei, your name is Ding Xixi, and you are the supreme witch!"

  I clutched my ears tightly and found myself trembling, I knew I was terrified.

  If I were you now, I would deeply understand that: the most terrifying thing in the world is when a person can't figure out who they are.

  He waved his palm in front of me and said: "Scared silly?"

  "I shouted at him loudly: 'Tell me what's going on?'"

  "You killed someone!" Big P said with a sly grin, scaring me and saying "Be careful or the police will catch you!"

  "Is there a police officer here?" I said, "There is no one else here except for the two of us!"

  "If you want it, you can have it," said Big P. "This is a man-made world where you can have whatever you want."

  "I gritted my teeth and said: 'My little aunt is a witch!'"

  "That's right, congratulations, you're also an excellent witch now!"

  "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense I'll kick your butt!"

  "Hold on, hold on!" Big P struck a pose like Sherlock Holmes and analyzed: "According to my incredibly intelligent and unparalleled brain, the reason should be this. Your little aunt spoiled you, perhaps giving you the most powerful mage NPC role in this place. So when you entered this city, you unknowingly learned magic. There's no need to go to that crappy wizard school in Elanore anymore. The only pity is that you're not very good at using it."

  Who says I won't? Didn't I just do it a moment ago?

  I flung my sleeve with a huff, but there was no flame, nothing at all.

  "It's possible that the energy can only be brought out in times of danger." Big P stroked his chin, pretending to be knowledgeable, "Let's first think of a way to get into the city library, maybe there are books inside that can guide you on how to use your magic."

  It seems there's no other way.

  "Walk or fly?" I asked Da P.

  "Of course we are going. The legendary most beautiful magical city, I must take a good look." Da P said, and exaggeratedly walked in front of me with his hands behind his back.

  His appearance is still that of a young boy, only when he's being oily and smooth does he seem like a grown man. I'm walking behind him, suddenly wanting to see the look of a grown man again, or rather, the look of Yue Qingfeng.

  But that person said that Yue Qingfeng was already dead.

  I am unwilling to believe this fact.

  Only by hurrying back to Elandar Castle can I understand the truth of the matter.

  After walking for about ten minutes, we entered the downtown area of Bau.

  Bau is indeed a mysterious and beautiful city. It's not as desolate and old as Saint Ignace, nor as backward and closed-off as Vankor. Strolling through the streets, you'll find that modern atmosphere and traditional culture are strangely intertwined here. There aren't many buildings along the road, so the view seems expansive, with straight roads leading far into the distance, giving you a sense of connection to the sky.

  "Perhaps this is your little aunt's ideal. The place she yearns to live in should be like this - a vast, unobstructed world, like the human heart."

  I was stunned, before this, I had never guessed the thoughts in Xiaoyi's mind, she is such a beautiful and intelligent yet lonely woman. In order to build this place, she must have sacrificed many things, such as youth, family, love... and many, many more, complex flavors that I had never experienced for her.

  I felt so selfish for the first time.

  Dà p said to me, "Ba Wu's library is said to have collected many books related to witchcraft, but at least a level 50 mage can enter the door, let's see if we can sneak in!"

  "Alright," I said.

  From a distance, Bau's library looks like a church. The setting sun stays on top of it, motionless like a golden sunflower. As I walked closer, my eyes were immediately drawn to the clusters of flowers in front of the library door: mandrakes!

  The flower planted in front of Xiaoyi Research Institute is this kind, I always remember it, it can be seen but cannot be touched.

  "Mandala!" Da P also said: "Let's go take a look."

  He took a step forward, but before he could even touch the flower, it was as if someone had given him a hard push, and he stumbled backward several steps, his face flushing bright red. Fortunately, I caught him in time, or he would have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.

  "What's wrong?" I asked him.

  He panted and replied: "This flower has a self-protection program, can't get through."

  I let him go. Trying to move forward, one step, two steps, three steps... It's strange that I didn't get attacked like Da P, but instead easily walked up to the flower.

  "Reach out and touch!" Da P shouted from behind.
