17. Fate.
Wow!
Which master witcher played so extravagantly?
Because there was someone nearby, Allen resisted the curiosity to open this book. Lowering his head, he coincidentally met a pair of awkward eyes.
After handing over the book, Allen smiled and imitated Vesemir's manner, tilting his head and asking: "What's the name of this master witcher?"
"And what kind of creature is the Night Succubus?"
"Did the battle really last for over a thousand days?"
As for the Night Succubus with its goat-horned hooves, Allen naturally knew. A kind of intelligent creature similar to the succubi in his previous life. They lived by absorbing male essence, and some believed they were simply obsessed with the pleasures between men and women. However, to avoid an awkward first meeting with a stranger, Allen chose to play innocent.
Moreover, In the original memories of Allen, there was no such creature as the Night Succubus. And Vesemir's "Monsterology" hadn't covered the Night Succubus lesson yet.
The man carefully scrutinized Allen's expression upon hearing his questions.Then he sighed with relief and casually replied, "These things have nothing to do with you. What are you here for?"
Allen didn't pay attention to his casual reply and quickly focused on finding the information he needed. "I'm here to find the experimental records about the Witcher's Eye."
"I don't know about the Witcher's Eye, but all the experimental records of your Wolf School are in the deepest part of the library." As he spoke, the man led Allen deeper into the reading room.
"You're from the Wolf School? Aren't you?"
"Used to be, but I haven't been since my teacher and the chief had a falling out ten years ago." The man explained casually, then cursed, "He was a real old bastard, left on his own and didn't even take his apprentices with him."
This man looked cold and indifferent, but surprisingly easy to get along with, and quite talkative. Unconsciously, Allen gained a lot of information. Such as the fact that the Witchers and the wizards of the Wolf School had really fallen out!
Before they finished walking, Allen hurriedly continued to inquire, "So what are you doing now? Managing the library?"
"No, just got kicked out of the alchemy lab by Lady Vira, so I'm staying here for a bit." The man shrugged, "After the Vernal Equinox, I'll be teaching at Ban Ard."
According to Vesemir, that apprentice who only knew how to brew simple potions is Xius. But how can you, an apprentice wizard, go teach at Ban Ard Academy?
"Teaching at Ban Ard? What are you teaching?"
"Don't know."
Allen: ?
A teacher who doesn't know what he's teaching?
"I have a recommendation letter from Lady Vira." The man seemed to sense Allen's disbelief and explained proudly, "She said there would be arrangements when I got there."
"So you just believed her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's Lady Vira, the Scarlet Fox." The man glanced at Allen askew and didn't explain further.
In silence, they walked a little further and stopped in front of a bookshelf.It was a very old-looking bookshelf. Dark rings were carved into the wood like decorative patterns on the shelf, with three rows of books neatly arranged, all covered in a thick layer of dust.
"Here we are, all the Wolf School's experimental data is here. Take your time and search for it yourself."
Allen glanced at the bookshelf, searching for experimental records, when suddenly he noticed a large gap in the middle of the second row.
Had some experimental records been taken?
"Wait a moment..."
Allen quickly pulled back the man who had already taken a few steps, pointing to the gap on the shelf and asking: "Where are the experimental records?"
The man looked somewhat impatiently at the center of the bookshelf, pondered for a moment, and said, "Last night Lady Vira's apprentice came by. I saw her take a few books and leave; those should be the experimental records you're looking for."
Allen was stunned at his words. Mary taking the experimental records meant that the sorceress must want to see them.
Seeing that Allen had no other questions, the man hurried impatiently towards the door.
After standing still for a moment, Allen thought, without touching the data on the shelf, and turned to leave. There was no need to flip through these experimental records. The experimental data on the Witcher's Eye must have all been taken by the sorceress.
But why would the sorceress be studying the Witcher's Eye? Out of curiosity?
What exactly is the Witcher's Eye?
Arriving at the door of the library, Allen suddenly realized: Clearly, he came to the library to solve a problem, but after this visit, he only had more questions?
The temporary librarian, whose name he didn't know, moved the wooden chair back and once again became obsessed with strange books.Before leaving, Allen glanced at that book with a strange impulse.
With just one glance, he saw the two special uses of the wide-brimmed black hat. Allen was instantly shocked and left the library with several more questions.
...
After leaving the library, Allen walked straight to the tower on the south side of the main castle.
Although it was still early, he had nowhere else to go, so he decided to check out the alchemy lab; maybe he could start class early.
Arriving at the door of the alchemy lab, Allen was about to knock.
"Squeak~"
The door opened by itself.
After Allen walked in, he glanced around the alchemy lab.
Carpet, murals, lace curtains, and the alchemy table...
Compared to yesterday, there was neither more nor less.
The experimental records of the Witcher's Eye were not in this room.
"What are you looking for?"
Following the voice, Allen looked over and almost didn't recognize the sorceress from yesterday. Plain grey linen dress, high-necked snow-white sweater, and brown boots. The attire was quite conservative. If it weren't for that dark red long hair, Allen would have thought he had entered the wrong room.
"The experimental records of the Witcher's Eye." There was no need to hide the fact that he was looking for experimental records, so Allen said directly, "The male witch in the library told me that Mary took them."
Speaking of which, where was Mary?
"Mary is in the inner room organizing the experimental records."
Damn, this sorceress really can read minds.
"I didn't read your mind; your thoughts were all written on your face," Vira said with a playful smile, continuing, "It's rare to see someone like you so curious about studying the Witcher's Eye among Witchers."
"I'm just curious about the Witcher's Eye."
"Ordinary Witchers wouldn't flip through experimental records out of curiosity; there aren't any interesting stories in there."
After a few breaths, Vira suddenly asked, "Allen, has anyone ever told you that you should be a wizard rather than a Witcher?"
"No one has said that," Allen shrugged at the words and asked back, "Besides, I didn't have a choice, did I?"
Who wants to be a warrior when they can be a mage?
But why did he become a Witcher as soon as he crossed over?
The sorceress looked at Allen's beautiful blue cat eyes in silence for a long time before sighing and saying, "Yeah."
"In the face of fate, none of us have a choice..."
