Holy Institution

The water was pitch black.

Dilling could only close his eyes and use his sense of the water element to find the small stone with the fire element hidden on its surface.

A bright piece of water element in his mind, densely packed like silver sesame seeds scattered all over the ground.Not to mention the fire element, not even a single gap can be seen.

Dilling surfaced again for air.

Although the lake is not very deep, but he has been in the water for such a long time, his physical strength and willpower are on the verge of exhaustion.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the shore.

In just a short while, the sky was completely dark.

The figures of Hydein and Soso were submerged in the forest together.He could only vaguely guess where they might be based on the location in his memory.

"call……"

He heard himself exhale deeply, and then continued to sink to the bottom.

He couldn't count how many times this was the first time he went to the bottom of the lake, and each time he hoped it would be the last time, but each time he was disappointed.Should he be thankful that he has been playing with water since he was a child, so he can persist until now?if not like this……

Dilling imagined Heidein's appearance, and immediately came to the conclusion that even if he couldn't swim, he would kick himself off.

Perhaps, for him, only the use of his method is not applicable.

The water element in my mind suddenly flashed.

The so-called flickering is one bright and one dark.

His heart tightened, and he slowly swam back to his original position.

That bleak point emerged clearly in my mind.

Dilling stretched out his hand and slowly groped at the bottom of the lake, piece by piece...until he caught hold.

"Grumbling..."

After catching the stone, he immediately relaxed his will and body.

When he realized that something was wrong, his body was no longer in control, but the air kept escaping from his nasal cavity...

Sosuo lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the position of his toes.

In fact, he couldn't see the toes clearly.But the darkness provided him with such a good cover that even if the standing in front of him was Heidein, whom he had always been afraid of, he felt that he was not as nervous as he imagined.

Just his question—

To be honest, he didn't think it was a big deal.He didn't have much interest in magic. If he could stay in the academy, even if he was doing the work of sorting out documents like today, he would feel very good.At least here is much quieter than Gu Lan, and you can see Di Lin every day.Thinking of this, Suo Suo felt happy.

Hyde looked at the lake and silently counted the time, his face suddenly changed, and his body was blown to the lake with a gust of wind, where Dilling went into the water.He raised his hand high, and the pillar of fire pierced deeply into the water like a spear in his hand!

Suo Suo watched in shock as the lake water churned, and then rushed towards the shore as if being pushed away by fire.

The water was quickly over his feet, but he felt nothing.His eyes were fixed on the position of the lake.Seeing Hyde Yin's appearance, he also guessed that something must have happened to Dilling.

The pillar of fire inserted in the center of the lake suddenly parted, drawing a circle around Heidein, wrapping him in the center.

Because the flames were so fierce, Soso couldn't see clearly what happened.

He only knew that after a while, the flame slowly went out.

Hyde slowly flew back to the shore with Dilling in his arms.

"Dillin?" Suo Suo approached, but Hyde turned around to avoid him.

"Do you know why he lost his strength and fainted?" Heiden asked coldly.

Suo Suo replied without thinking: "Because you asked him to pick up stones."

Hyde curled his lips in displeasure, "He can refuse."

Suo Suo felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Hyde chased after the victory and said, "For you, he can't refuse."

Soso looked at him blankly.

Heiden said: "He wants to help you unshackle your body."

The corners of Sosuo's lips moved, and he said softly, "I'm fine."

Heiden said: "If you are always so weak, then he will always think that you are related. Although your head is stupid, it is not completely empty. You should make good use of what is left to find your own future."

Soso's eyes were even more bewildered.

The water of the lake receded slowly.

Hyde put Dilling on the shore, opened his mouth with his fingers, thought for a while, and used some fire elements to enter his body to drive out the water elements.

"Ahem." Dilling was awakened by the heat in his chest, opened his eyes, and looked at Heidein in a daze. After a while, he raised his hand and gave him the stone in his hand, "I found it."

Hyde took back the fire element, and said lightly: "I will abide by the agreement."

Di Lin was relieved, and slowly lowered his raised hand.

Soso looked at Heidein timidly, walked quietly to the other side of Dilling, grabbed his hand and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Di Lin gave him a comforting smile.

Hyde raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you think that with your appearance, his questions are very thoughtless, and your answers are very insincere?"

Soso bit his lip.

Dillin stood up slowly while grabbing Soso's arm. The pain in his whole body made him almost want to lie down forever, "Let's go back."

So Suo said depressedly: "The dinner is over."

Dilling patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry."

Suo Suo just wanted to explain that he was afraid that Dilling would not be able to eat a hot dinner because he was so tired, but Heiden cut him off: "You raised a pig."

Dilling was displeased with his repeated attitude towards Soso, and retorted: "I am willing."

……

The three walked for a while.

Hyde suddenly said: "So he is really a pig."

Dilling: "..."

After this drowning incident, Heiden's teaching method was much gentler, and he was able to eat lunch and dinner most of the time.

Dilling was only thinking about finding the magician who cast the spell.

Hyde took one night and took him and Dilling towards the residence of the college's chores.

Although they are handymen, their accommodation is no worse than that of students.From Dilling's point of view, the light design of their house is much better than the house he currently lives in.This may be because the students will not live here for long, but they will live for a lifetime.

Heiden's arrival caused a certain sensation.

Although Dilling didn't understand why there was such a scene, the fact is that every household has closed their doors.

The person who was originally very leisurely and content suddenly became nervous.

Suo Suo asked inexplicably, "What happened to them?"

Hyde responded with rare cooperation: "It's nothing. I just let them help me with experiments occasionally."

Dilling, who had personally experienced Hyde's teaching method and almost sank to the bottom of the lake, immediately expressed deep sympathy and understanding for the behavior of the employees.

Leading to the attic is an old ladder that creaks when stepped on.

Dilling asked Suo Suo to go ahead, and he followed behind in case of accidents.And Heiden used magic to fly up.

The attic stinks of paint.

When Dilling walked up to the attic, he saw all kinds of horrible paintings placed around the room.

The weak lights can't increase the beauty of the pictures at all, but make them look more terrifying and hideous.

Heiden stood by the window, and beside him sat an old man with a white beard and a round nose.

Di Lin felt very serious, so Suo Suo called out first: "Ah, it's you."

The old man glanced at him sideways, then looked at Heidein and said, "You don't seem like a nosy person."

Heiden pointed to Dilling and said, "This is my student."

"so?"

"It's not idle business."

"Then whose student is he?" the old man pointed at Soso.

Heiden almost pronounced the name with his nose, "Chai Fuang."

The old man curled his lips, "Look, you really don't need to bring them to me. Chai Fuang knows very well that I will never break his seal."

Heide said: "My agreement with him is to bring them to see you. As for whether to untie them, that is between you and them."

Dilling couldn't help but said, "Can you tell me why you can't unlock his seal?"

The old man turned his head slowly, then pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "What do you think of this painting?"

Dilling looked along his fingers.

This is an indescribable painting. There are only white and shades of orange on it, and they are mixed together in a mess. It doesn't know what to express at all.

Heiden said: "Your talent for drawing is inversely proportional to your talent for magic."

The old man said: "I admit that my magic talent is terrible."

Dilling said slowly, "This painting... resembles you."

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, "Can you see that this is my self-portrait?"

Heiden also looked at him in surprise.

Dilling bit the bullet and nodded.What he recognized was the big nose.
