Chapter 412 Conflict Spiral Two People Go Together
After leaving the Garan Hall Office, Mikael and Shiki were walking home. It was still a few minutes before ten o'clock in the evening. Normally the streets were very bright at this time, but today it was so gloomy and deserted that it was so frustrating.
abnormal.
However, it is understandable that the gloomy night shrouds this far east city, and the howling cold wind passes through the steel forest. It looks like winter has arrived early, even if it starts to snow soon.
Surprisingly.
There won't be too many people hanging out on such a cold night, and passers-by on the street tighten their collars and hurried toward home.
Shiki was still wearing a light-colored thin kimono with a brand new red jacket. It seemed to be for cold weather, but in fact it was not the case. She just simply liked this dress.
"Mikael, I hate that man today."
Shi opened her mouth and said, her perception was very keen and she could see through deeper things. There was a deep darkness under Cornelius's pretense of hypocrisy, which made her very uncomfortable.
"I know why you hate him. After all, there are too few truly smart people in the world, and the rest are mediocre."
Mikael smiled and said, Cornelus thought he planned well, but some things were destined to fail from the beginning.
"I actually don't hate mediocrity, because most people in this world are destined to be mediocre from birth, and this cannot be changed, but I hate stupidity, because stupidity is irredeemable."
Shi nodded, seeming to understand, but not seeming to understand. She just looked at the scenery on both sides of the street. Everything was so familiar, yet so strange. Time changed everything quietly. This city
Earth-shaking changes have also taken place.
"By the way, I have a question. Do we have to keep those secrets even in the clock tower?"
Suddenly she asked.
"What secret?"
"It's just that a mystery must remain a mystery."
"It's really rare for Shiki to be interested in magic."
Mikael chuckled and said, with Shi Shi's personality, he would not pay attention to topics that he was not interested in at all.
"I'm not interested in magic, I'm just interested in things related to you..."
Shi closed his mouth as he spoke, and glanced at Mikael, who was smiling and staring at him. He felt a little panicked for no reason, and his face seemed to heat up.
"I remember, Mikael, you are also a magician, right? But you usually don't hide the mystery. Won't this have a bad impact on you?"
"I have received your kind concern."
Mikael stretched out his hand to touch Shi's head, but was dodged without any surprise, but he didn't care. It was probably a surprise that he could be touched by him.
"But I am different from other magicians. As for whether the magicians in the clock tower will remain mysterious, that is of course. The magicians in the academy also keep their achievements completely confidential. What other people are studying and their goals
Why and what he got are all a mystery, and no one will take the initiative to tell them. If the magician wants to tell his achievements, I'm afraid he can only let his heirs inherit them before he dies."
"It's really a twisted inheritance."
He sighed softly, as if sighing for this.
"But obviously you are studying for yourself, but you don't have to use your power for yourself. What is the meaning of such research? If the purpose is to learn, is the process also learning? If you only have it at the beginning and the end, then it is nothing.
What's the difference?"
Shi asked rhetorically, in her opinion, this kind of thing is completely incomprehensible, and it is just passed down purely for the sake of inheritance. What is the meaning of this.
"Maybe the only difference is that I once had it? I can use it, but I can't live without it?"
Mikael shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a brisk tone.
"Hahaha, just kidding."
"What magicians pursue is the vortex of the source. Everything flows from there, no matter life, land, air or soul, time and space. That is the origin of everything. For magicians, it contains the ultimate.
knowledge."
Shi looked at her slender white hands silently. Mikael told her that her body has been connected to the source since birth.
All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome. Maybe this is how they describe themselves.
But she has no real sense of the so-called [source of connection]. If she is different from ordinary people, then apart from her own eyes, she only has an indistinct feeling of cold and heat.
"So Mikael, are you also pursuing the roots?"
After a brief hesitation, Shi asked. Her voice was as soft as feathers brushing over the snow.
"I?"
Mikael raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly came in front of Shi, looking at her face slyly.
The distance between the two people was so close that one could almost feel the warm breath. Shi was startled by his behavior and subconsciously punched Mikael in the abdomen, but he dodged it with a light leap back.
.
"Don't confuse me with those magicians. After all, the ultimate goal of magicians is the truth. That is a dream that can never be realized, and I..."
Having said this, he suddenly paused, closed his mouth, and the smile on his face became stronger.
"And what I pursue is right beside me."
Hearing his words, a nice blush suddenly appeared on Shi's face, her lips pursed tightly, she glared at him fiercely, and suddenly quickened her pace, leaving Mikael behind.
"Shiki, are you shy? You are really cute now."
Mikael's chuckle spread to her ears along the wind, and she could hear it clearly even if she blocked her ears. However, she was so confused and angry now that she didn't care about it at all.
Thin and messy footsteps sounded from the alley to her left from far to near, and she saw a young man with dyed hair running towards her. It was already October, but he was only wearing a turquoise shirt.
wearing a big jacket and being naked underneath.
He moved his legs hard and looked back. Behind him, there were several people shouting something.
Rushing out of the alley, he didn't see Shi Shi walking quickly from the other side. When he saw it, the distance between the two of them was already less than one meter.
"Oops--!"
He yelled and wanted to slow down, but it was too late now, so he could only crash into it.
Shi's mind was very disturbed, so she didn't notice the boy. When she came to her senses, he was already close to him, but her body's instinctive reaction made her jump back, avoiding a collision at the critical moment.

“Sorry sorry sorry—!
"
The young man almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but he quickly adjusted his body and continued running quickly forward without looking back, while shouting an apology loudly.
Shi Shi didn't say anything. She just looked at the streetlight reflected on the ground and the metal piece that slipped out of the boy's pocket.
