Be a mermaid after 1000 years

Marion broke into the principal's office without even knocking on the door. Graham took a sip of tea and continued to flip through the book in his hand. The book binding was quite new, and it was a thin book. It didn't look like a magic book. Humm took it seriously.

Hearing the familiar footsteps approaching, he said casually, "Marion, have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette?"

"Father, why can everyone go to your class, but I have to stay in the elementary class to learn from Teacher Hill." Marion looked resentful.

"As far as I know, you haven't completed your elementary courses."

Marion bit his lip, and said in a deep voice, "I know you've given Mei Mi a little trouble."

Graham glanced up at him, but said nothing.

Marion looked a bit embarrassed, and said: "Well, I admit that I am indeed inferior to Mei Mi in some aspects, but what about others? They are not as good as me, even those useless woods can attend your class, why can't I , I already understood what Hill taught.”

"Oh? Really?" Graham finally closed the book. He looked at his youngest for a moment, then pointed out the window and asked, "Then do you know why the two birds on the almond tree are singing so happily today?"

"This……"

Marion was stunned, and Graham continued to ask: "Did you see that squirrel in the distance? Why did it jump from this tree to that tree to look for pine cones? It turns out that there are many pine cones on that tree. There is the tricolor hibiscus plant under the window sill of the restaurant, which was blooming well a few days ago, why is it suddenly lacking in energy? Do you know the reason for all this?"

"Birds just chirp when they want to. Squirrels know how to look far away. They are all low-level creatures, and they don't need a reason to do things. Three-color hibiscus, three-color hibiscus..." Who would pay attention to a three-color hibiscus, Mali At the beginning, En said it confidently, but under his father's serious and quiet gaze, he gradually lost his confidence, but he soon straightened his neck and retorted stubbornly: "It's a natural law for flowers to bloom and fall. Does father know the reason?"

Graham looked out the window, sighed for a long time, and said, "No, Marion, I don't know either."

There was confusion in Marion's blue eyes. He knew that his father would say something, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of answer.

Graham patted his side, and after Marion sat down, he continued, "I've thought a lot these past few days. Looking back on my decades of learning magic, you can understand this as a kind of introspection. Back then, I My enlightenment teacher suggested that we should always reflect on ourselves, but I abandoned his advice a long time ago, because my achievements far surpassed that of my teacher. Throw it away, just like a middle school student never thinks about why 1+1 equals 2, he takes it for granted, and I used to be like you, ignoring the little things that happen around me every day, only the profound magic spell can cause My interest is to be able to successfully decipher and master an ancient spell. I think that is more important than anything else, but this kind of thinking is just wrong. The true meaning of magic lies in the perception, and this kind of pursuit of the original power is the strongest Big, it can not only make people calm and clear, the most important thing, you can also understand many mysteries in the universe, the existence, reproduction, development, change, decline, death, reincarnation of everything... All these seem to be Ordinary, in fact, implies the most profound truth. Hill is just leading you into the door. Apart from talent, the level you reach depends on your personal luck and hard work. Marion, at present, you are far from enough in all aspects. "

He picked up the book on his lap, touched it cherishedly, then put it in front of Marion, and said, "I found this book two days ago, but I didn't expect it to still be there. When I graduated from school, my teacher gave it to me. I never read it, and now I realize that it is the greatest loss of my life. Marion, you are my most beloved child. I hope you can go further, and Don’t stop at the present, the first thing you need to do is to calm down, you are too manic, I heard that you punched the Leslie’s mermaid yesterday, this kind of behavior is too uneducated.”

"That's a hypocrite, he says one thing, but another thing behind his back, it's disgusting!" Marion protested disgustedly.

"Marion, there are many such people, you have to learn to ignore them, let's not talk about this now, read this book carefully, maybe you can understand what I said before, remember, don't lose sight of the basics, What you need most is to be down-to-earth and start from scratch.”

When Marion withdrew from his father's office, although he didn't achieve his goal, he still had some expectations in his heart. He thought that the book that his father strongly recommended and praised must be a great magic book. Unexpectedly, the author of the book was indeed more than 400 years old. The former well-known healing magician Graciel, but the content has little to do with magic. It is more like Graciel’s mood diary. This kind of bookstore is everywhere. Marion turned the book to the end page, and it really is It was published by a popular bookstore, and the price was still more than 20 years ago. It was very cheap, only ten dollars.

A gust of wind blew, and the pages of the book were flipping. Just as a line of text was revealed, it was covered by the next page.

'On April 21st, the weather was fine. Due to the unsuccessful study of the spell for many days, I was in a bad mood. I was dragged by my friends to have a picnic in the outskirts of the city. For the first time, I heard the voice of the world. May, break through all barriers, tears of joy flow across the cheeks, and the soul obtains unprecedented peace and tranquility...'

Magic school restaurant.

Li Miaowei ate char-grilled porcini mushrooms, seafood braised noodles, surimi eggplant tart, squid rings and creamy pea soup. Finally, he rubbed his belly, called the waiter in the restaurant, and ordered a pan-fried pancake.

"God, Zoe, you are not afraid of getting fat after eating so much!" Peggy was both envious and distressed. He poked the light seaweed salad in front of him, but he really lost his appetite. Finally, he decided to indulge and added a bowl of tomato gravy. shellfish soup.

"The young master has always eaten so much." Didi has long been accustomed to it.

"It's not that I eat too much, it's that the amount here is too little."

"You are probably the most edible mermaid since the establishment of the magic school. No wonder the chef's eyes shine every time he sees you."

Rooney stuffed a lemon shrimp ball into his mouth and muttered, "I eat more than me, but I'm not fat, I'm so pissed off."

"Peggy, how is your magic learning going?" Li Miaowei asked.

"Ah, I was about to tell you." Peggy put down the spoon, her face was full of joy, "The teacher of the elementary class of the fire department asked me to become a regular student today."

"Really? Congratulations!" Several people congratulated each other.

Peggy waved her hand shyly, and said, "Zoe, it's all thanks to the powder you gave me last time. It worked very well after taking it, and the magic induction has increased a lot, although it's not as good as other people at work. But I am already very satisfied, use more snacks, maybe I can catch up with them when I graduate, Lulu, have you tried it? Has it worked?"

Rooney nodded and asked Li Miaowei: "Zoe, what kind of powder are you giving us? Can you buy it in the market?"

"That's actually not medicine powder, it's the ashes from the golden mermaid's hair." Li Miaowei cleaned up the room a few days ago, and found a small handful of golden hair from the drawer, only to realize that it was given to her by the Queen when she first entered the palace. He kept forgetting to eat his hair. Thinking of his two friends, he divided the ashes into three parts.

"Wow, it's so precious, no wonder it's so amazing. I'm still thinking, if there is such a medicinal powder on the market, it's better to steal it!" Rooney exclaimed, but didn't ask Li Miaowei where the ashes came from. It's no small thing for a blonde mermaid to cut her own hair.

"Speaking of which, Zoe, how do you feel? If you have the ability to sense, you'd better choose a magic class that suits you as soon as possible. The healing department will only watch the excitement. If you stay for a long time, you will be disappointed." Peggy kindly advised.

Rooney giggled and said, "You don't know, Peggy, Zoe is so excited to listen to the principal's class."

"Ah? Zoe, can you understand me?"

Didi also laughed, "Master Peggy, whether you can understand is not the key, the key is that the environment there is elegant and the sleeping is comfortable, but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer auditors now, and the principal is fierce, so we dare not sleep too blatantly. "

"You guys are so boring."

Li Miaowei glared at Didi and said, "The two of them are going to sleep, but I am not. Unfortunately, as you said, I really can't understand the principal's class."

When it comes to this, Li Miaowei can't help but feel depressed. After listening to Hill's class, he thought learning magic is very simple, but he didn't expect it to be completely different. The magic spells are all written in the old mermaid language. It's also very convoluted, longer spells are often only one page, even if he reads it from the book, he can't read it to the end without any mistakes, let alone he doesn't know whether he is born with a bad brain or because he is not a mermaid. He has no language talent at all, and even Didi can already understand a little ancient Chinese, but he hasn't even mastered the correct pronunciation of letters.

The principal also said every time that just reciting the mantra is useless, and the mantra must be combined with the perception. Nima, he can’t recite the mantra after he has realized it. It was like a paste.

Rooney patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't go home in the afternoon and take a rest. I'll take you to the Royal Library. There are more books than the school. Maybe it will help you."

Due to his own reasons, Rooney rarely inquired about other people's magical abilities, but he knew in his heart that unlike other auditors in the healing department, Zoe would go to class for a reason.

Just as they were talking, a large group of people poured in from outside the restaurant. The leading green-haired mermaid was the most famous person in the school recently, Hetibel from the senior class of wood department. They fancy a seat by the window, As soon as Hetty walked over, the mermaid who was sitting there quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

The girl thanked her sweetly, but her proud eyes revealed her true thoughts.

Rooney frowned, and said, "How can you meet annoying ghosts everywhere?"

"There are only two restaurants in the school. It's not normal to encounter them. If you don't like seeing them, just leave. We'll eat anyway." Peggy said.

Li Miaowei walked behind his friend for a while, stopped, and turned his head suddenly. There were people coming and going in the restaurant, and he couldn't find the gaze that was staring at him just now. He shrugged and walked to the wall With a click, the awning that was put down by someone outside was put away.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"It's okay." He couldn't tell Didi that the three-color hibiscus plant under the window sill was very unhappy because it couldn't get sunlight. If he said that, he would definitely be regarded as crazy. Like crazy.

"Hetty, what were you looking at just now?" the red-haired mermaid sitting opposite Hetty asked flatteringly.

"It's none of your business!" Hetty's expression was sullen, making him shiver.

The Royal Library is at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and it is connected to the temple and the imperial palace. In addition to members of the royal family, teachers and students of the magic school can also look up books and materials in it with a reading card, but as long as they are books related to magic , all cannot be borrowed home, because many of them are already damaged or orphaned.

Li Miaowei and Peggy applied for a reading pass, and Didi could only wait outside. When Rooney took them in, the administrator stopped Li Miaowei.

"Sir, in order to avoid confusion, the book in your hand cannot be brought in."

"Zoe, what book are you holding?"

"I don't know. I just picked it up at the flower bed at school. I haven't had time to read it yet." Li Miaowei handed the book in his hand to Rooney.

"Ah, Gray Hill's Diary, an old book, no wonder it was thrown away."

"Who's Grayhill?"

Peggy explained helplessly: "Zoe, I found that you lack common sense. Have you never heard of the famous healing magician Graciel more than 400 years ago? There has never been a healing magician again."

"Since he is so famous, why is his diary thrown away?"

Rooney flicked the cover and said, "This is not a magic book, it's just an excerpt from his diary, and it's a printed copy from Popular Bookstore. It's been reprinted so many times, it's worth throwing it away!" , I was about to stuff the book into the trash can next to me.

"Hey, wait, it's a good book, why throw it away, I haven't read it yet, let's store it." For some reason, Li Miaowei felt a sense of intimacy when he heard Greyhill's name.
