The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 181
Chapter 181
When Du Lei walked through the door of the library, he realized that the man who had been talking to him was Winster, the administrator of the library, and also the history teacher in the college. Although Winster looked gentle, without muscles and Feeling bold, but he is only in his twenties.
To be able to become a teacher at this level of Maple Leaf Academy at this age must be no ordinary man. Moreover, his erudition shocked Du Lei. No matter what subject he was in, Winster could talk about it. He was simply a man. A mobile and talking library.
“Ms. Winster, that is to say, the stone statue without a face, is it to commemorate the first person in the world to use alchemy?” After talking with Winster, Du Lei finally figured out that it is located on the highest step. The ins and outs of that unique stone statue at the place.
“Remembrance? Maybe it is punishment. Bringing alchemy to this world brings prosperity and destruction.” Winster shook his head, and he could see that he was holding alchemy. A very complicated attitude, both affirmative and negative, is very contradictory.
“But why is it okay to stand in front of other stone statues, but standing in front of this stone statue will produce hallucinations?” Du Lei asked again.
“It’s not so much an illusion as it is seeing the past.” Winster corrected Du Lei’s wording.
“See the past?” Du Lei couldn’t understand.
“The Iron Wheel Fort incident you have seen is the real past, and what I saw is the girl who was dreaming of my childhood. These are real things that happened, so it is not an illusion, but a memory. That’s all.” Winster continued.
“The picture of the memories? What you see is true? But I have never been to Iron Wheel Castle. There is no doubt about that.” Du Lei shook his head. He was not fourteen years old this year, eight years ago. He was not yet six years old, and he remembered clearly that he was staying in Hot Spring Village.
“Do you believe your memory?” Winster asked suddenly.
“What did you say?” Du Lei didn’t seem to hear clearly.
“Nothing, just eight years ago, an alchemist passed through the city of Maple. He heard that there was a stone statue commemorating the first unknown alchemist in history at the Maple Leaf Academy, so he came to watch it. The stone statue originally had a face. , Is a face drawn by a craftsman based on his imagination.” The man said.
“But why is it gone now?” Du Lei was very curious about this question and asked immediately.
“It is said that the alchemist stood in front of the stone statue for a day and night. When he left, the stone statue became what it is now. There are no facial features, and his face is empty. Since then, the stone statue has gained this strange ability. Let people see the past.” The man continued to explain.
“That is to say, whether it is a faceless alchemist, or is able to see hallucinations… or the past, it is the masterpiece of the passing alchemist? What is his name?” Du Lei pursued this question. Reluctant to give up.
“I have asked this question before, but the only person who knows the answer laughed at it.” The man was also somewhat helpless.
“The only person who knows the answer? Who is it?” Du Lei asked again.
“It’s the old dean. Eight years ago, I was only thirteen years old. I was still an apprentice. I was not in Maple Leaf College. The one who knew the things about Maple Leaf College most clearly was naturally the old dean who missed the end of the dragon.” Winster answered Du Lei truthfully.
“Old Dean? That’s Elune’s grandfather?” Du Lei had heard of some things about the academy. He knew that Elune that he had met before was the granddaughter of the dean, so she was in the academy. So unscrupulous, Charlotte didn’t dare to care about her at all.
“Yes, Miss Elune is the only granddaughter of the old dean. She is also a very talented young man. She is just a bit too extreme, but she is not to blame. After all, her parents…” Winster knew everything about the college and knew Elune’s situation.
“Her parents?” Du Lei was stunned. It was the first time he heard about Elune’s parents.
“Forget it, it’s all from the past, and it’s not a good thing. Don’t mention it. Your name is Du Lei, right? You seem to be interested in alchemy?” Winster shook his head and said to Elune’s parents. I mentioned the question in one stroke, but judging from his expression, that topic makes people uncomfortable.
“I am interested in all subjects, alchemy is just one of them, but Mr. Winster, is the library still open at this late?” Du Lei also cleverly shifted the topic of alchemy, he Looking inside the library, the height of the library is at least seven or eight meters.
Books are neatly arranged on the huge bookshelf. There are stairs next to the bookshelf. If you want to get the books on the upper layer of the bookshelf, you have to use the stairs to get them. Du Lei stood in the library and felt like he had come to a huge Like in the forest.
“Normally, the library is only open during the day, but…” Winster smiled and paused here.
“But what?” Du Lei asked immediately. He was already exasperated when he saw so many books.
“But if you can answer my question, it’s not that you can’t stay in the book to read at night.” Winster said slowly.
“What’s the problem?” Du Lei frowned. He didn’t think that someone as knowledgeable as Winster, there was a problem that Winster didn’t know, but he knew it. It was the wrong object at all. .
“What exactly did you… see in history?” Winster’s expression suddenly became serious, and he squinted Du Lei’s eyes.
This caused Du Lei’s pressure to increase sharply. At this moment, he suddenly realized that standing in front of him was not a gentle teacher, but an extremely dangerous element. This uneasy feeling made him involuntarily take a step back. The body was stretched straight.
“Hahahaha, don’t be nervous, I’m just joking, what you see is your memory, not mine. I don’t have the habit of prying other people’s memories, so please do it.” Winster’s expression suddenly eased. After coming down, he said with a smile.
“What?” Du Lei was a little confused by Winster, completely unable to understand what medicine he sold in the gourd.
“I said you can read books, and the library is open for you around the clock…Of course, it is limited to the first floor, because I only manage the first floor, and the teacher above is in charge of the other seven teachers, so… Let’s start on the first level. I am looking forward to where you can go.”
Winster pointed to the bookshelf in front of him. When he was talking about the first floor, his tone was calm and breezy, but Du Lei looked around but his scalp was numb, because the huge bookshelves of three people were all numbered, ten. The bookshelves are in one row, and there are even twenty rows of bookshelves on the entire floor!
If he wants to finish reading the book here, he still has to be crazy?
