Chapter 313: The Tardy "Protagonists"

“Little Han, are you okay?”

After I finished my busy work, Big Sis Bai came up behind me at this moment and asked softly.

“Okay about what? Because of those guys’ meddling? If my decision were shaken just because of something like this, that would be too unsightly.”

“Actually, you don’t have to be like this…”

“Are you also trying to say that my actions are completely useless?”

I looked at Big Sis Bai.

Big Sis Bai didn’t answer, but from the results of these past few days, it really wasn’t much different from useless work.

But if you were to ask what I learned in these days, it seems it was quite a lot.

Besides reinforcing my knowledge points related to runes, there were also many other experiences, such as teaching, writing books, and giving speeches.

If you were to ask if there was anything else, then I can only say that I have witnessed biodiversity.

The one I encountered before was a very direct type and was already considered very easy to deal with.

“I’m not trying to negate Little Han’s efforts, but the people here aren’t worth you putting in so much effort.”

In the end, Big Sis Bai still spoke to me earnestly.

“Miss Bai Yu, for me, the value of all of Teacher Little Han’s efforts is completely worthy of affirmation.”

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyue’s voice sounded from the side, interrupting the words of persuasion Bai Yu was about to say.

“Ninglan Qiuyue, you haven’t left yet?”

I turned my head.

I had quite a lot of contact with this young girl these past few days.

After all, her eagerness to learn really met my initial expectations.

Originally, I was still thinking whether this young girl would be a vase, but I didn’t expect her to be the only one who could fight at this moment.

“Yes, Teacher Little Han, thank you for your efforts these past few days. I have indeed learned a lot. You don’t need to care about the gossip of those people. Ninglan New City may be completely different from the world you are in. Their pursuit and yearning for extraordinary power may deviate from your perception.”

“Thank you, I am also very clear about these things, and you don’t need to deliberately comfort me like this. By the way, did you come to find me because you encountered another difficult problem?”

“Indeed, there are some discrepancies in your previous interpretation of the Fireball spell’s chanting ritual.”

“There are discrepancies? This is a normal situation.”

I nodded, sorted out the things in my hand, and then prepared to explain it to Ninglan Qiuyue.

After all, even though Ninglan Qiuyue was just starting to learn runes, she had already shown excellent talent, and the questions she asked were also very valuable, at least for me.

It would be great if there were more people like Ninglan Qiuyue in Ninglan New City.

After some explanation, I managed to explain Ninglan Qiuyue’s problem clearly.

I have to say, when facing Ninglan Qiuyue, I would subconsciously think of Tan Han.

When facing problems, Tan Han was also like this.

She had too many questions about many things, and her angles were very sharp.

Maybe this is a common problem with geniuses; they tend to discover problems that ordinary people would not notice.

“Hmm? Ninglan Qiuyue, is there still some problem?”

After finishing the explanation, I looked at Ninglan Qiuyue who was still standing here with no intention of leaving, so I subconsciously asked.

“Well… there are indeed some things, but… they are not related to runes.”

“Oh? What is it then?”

“It’s about what you are currently doing at the Extraordinary Technology Research Association. You might encounter some resistance.”

“Someone is dissatisfied again? I’m just imparting some knowledge. Have I touched someone’s interests again?”

I frowned.

After all, for Ninglan Qiuyue to specially remind me of something, it must have reached a very serious point.

“Although I don’t know if Teacher Little Han you really don’t know or are pretending not to know, the knowledge you are teaching is less like knowledge and more like… a weapon. There are too many interest groups in Ninglan New City who don’t want ordinary people to touch the scope of weapons. That would greatly disrupt the stable order within Ninglan New City.”

“Is it just because of this?”

“Of course, there’s more, but the deeper things are no longer suitable to be discussed on the table. I understand the nobility of Teacher Little Han’s actions, but perhaps you should try another way.”

Ninglan Qiuyue shook her head and didn’t continue to go deeper, but turned the topic to another development.

“Oh? Another way? You mean…”

“The platform of the Extraordinary Technology Research Association is no longer suitable for you. Just as Miss Bai Yu said, the efficiency of everything you are doing here is very low. I understand that you are not simply being selfless in imparting this knowledge, but have a purpose. But there is a place that will definitely be very suitable for you, and will welcome your arrival with open arms.”

“Oh… you mean… the department in your Ninglan New City that specializes in the research and development of extraordinary skills?”

I asked.

After all, Ninglan New City definitely had a department that specialized in the study of extraordinary power.

The previous Type III Extraordinary Killer was the best proof.

“Yes, the Extraordinary Research Group.”

“Oh, so you are also considered a person in charge of selecting talent at this research association and bringing them into that group?”

“You’re joking, I only have the qualifications to recommend.”

“Then is this your idea or your father’s idea?”

I continued to ask.

“It’s my idea. I don’t want someone like Teacher Little Han to be forced to stop your contributions because of the disputes within Ninglan New City. The knowledge you have given is of great value to Ninglan New City. If you continue like this, then I can already foresee what will happen in the next few days.”

“Just curious, what will happen?”

“Perhaps someone will use Teacher Little Han’s spell to carry out a vicious attack or even murder on the busiest street in Ninglan New City. Then public opinion will be guided. Perhaps all of this will not pose any threat to Teacher Little Han, but it will be impossible for you to realize your ideas here. Even the Extraordinary Technology Research Association will be investigated, shut down for rectification, and so on. Then the association members will be guided to target you. I have seen these methods many times, and they might even be more despicable.”

“Is that so… it’s really not creative. But I also need to have an ending on the association’s side. I can’t just suddenly disappear, right?”

“Indeed, Teacher Little Han. Leave the subsequent trivial matters to us. After things are settled, I will personally find you.”

“Thank you, I’ll trouble you then.”

I nodded and agreed to this plan.

“No trouble at all.”

Ninglan Qiuyue smiled as if she really didn’t mind the trouble.

After Ninglan Qiuyue left, Big Sis Bai came to my side.

“What’s wrong, Big Sis Bai?”

“Nothing, I also encountered some trouble just now, regarding the reconstruction of spells within a spellbook.”

“Huh?”

I looked at Big Sis Bai’s serious expression and inexplicably wanted to laugh, “Big Sis Bai, are you jealous?”

“No.”

“Alright, then you are.”

I said with a smile, “Come on, let me see which spellbook has stumped the amazing Big Sis Bai.”

I pushed Big Sis Bai’s back and prepared to leave this place, completely without the indifference I had when talking with Ninglan Qiuyue just now.

So what if Ninglan New City tried to pull some stunts?

If I don’t care, then none of it has any meaning.

It seems that after obtaining the Dream Rewrite Spell, my attitude towards some things in Ninglan New City has also changed slightly.

It’s probably a bit tougher, but more of a nonchalant attitude.

And although I’ve been quite busy these few days, it’s not like I haven’t had time to study this rewrite spell.

I’ve said that this spell is very useful, it’s just that I haven’t made good use of it yet.

“Big Sis Bai… you have quite a lot of spellbooks. Are you trying to detach them all from the spellbooks and simplify them into pure spells to be cast by hand?”

“Yes, didn’t Little Han say it? Understanding the essence of a spell is really important.”

“Indeed.”

I also nodded in agreement.

Looking at this dazzling array of spellbooks, I couldn’t help but sigh that Big Sis Bai’s family fortune was truly terrifying.

When could I also have such a family fortune?

But on second thought, it seems I also have quite a bit of wealth.

This is Big Sis Bai’s family fortune from so many years.

I feel like it won’t be long before my wealth surpasses Big Sis Bai’s.

My gaze swept across these spells one by one.

Although my eyes were full of envy, there was not a trace of greed.

“What’s wrong? Did you see one you like? How about I give it to you when we go back?”

“No, no, Big Sis Bai should keep them for yourself. I’m already past the stage of lacking spellbooks. More spellbooks would just be adding new means. Building up my foundation can be done slowly, there’s no rush.”

I quickly refused.

Even if I wanted a spellbook, I didn’t want to take it from Big Sis Bai now.

However, while looking at these spells, I noticed a spell that I was very concerned about, the teleportation spell.

This reminded me of what Teacher Ji Niang said when she teleported me.

Space is a very fragile existence.

Thinking about it now, there are indeed too many spells that can play with space in the palm of their hands.

Perhaps it’s not quite accurate to say that, but the attribute of space indeed has a very low lower limit and a very high upper limit.

But after helping Big Sis Bai dismantle the spells within the spellbooks, I found that this method was also a very good way to learn runes.

And just as Big Sis Bai and I were continuously deconstructing the spellbooks, the door here was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in a little hastily.

“Teacher Little Han, some… someone is looking for you.”

“Hmm?”

I raised my head and looked at the person speaking to me.

I had some impression of him.

He was one of those who had attended my class.

I couldn’t recall his name.

After all, I never bothered to remember their names in the courses I taught.

“Who?”

I asked curiously.

“It’s me, Little Han. Long time no see.”

At this moment, a figure walked past this person and came before me.

“Oh… Tan Han. It has indeed been a long time.”

Seeing her, a trace of surprise flashed in my eyes, followed by understanding.

I didn’t expect Tan Han to find this place so quickly.

“Yes, I just arrived in this Ninglan New City not long ago. I heard that someone here was teaching knowledge related to runes. I guessed it was probably you. After asking around, it really was.”

“Oh? So certain? Such an accurate guess?”

I shrugged and asked.

“Among the people I know, the one who could do such an outrageous thing is most likely you. Little Han, why are you here teaching them runes?”

“What a coincidence. Just a moment ago, due to some special circumstances, I’ve decided not to teach anymore.”

“Ah? Wait, Teacher Little Han, why? It was going so well, why so suddenly…”

The young man at the side asked in shock upon hearing my words.

“I’m sorry, I have to stop due to some special reasons. But I will provide all the materials I’ve organized to the association for free. If you are really interested in runes, you can study on your own.”

I comforted him.

It seems this matter hasn’t been announced yet, so it’s normal for him to be surprised.

Although he still wanted to say something, it couldn’t change my decision.

“So, Little Han, are you free now?”

“No, I have a lot of things to do, so many that you might not be able to understand. If you’re here to ask me to join you in fighting the Sleeping Curse, I can only say I’m sorry, I may not be able to do as you wish.”

I faced Tan Han directly and blocked any possibility of what she was about to say.

“You…”

Tan Han was suddenly choked by my long speech.

She stared at me for a long time before speaking again, “Can I ask why? You clearly chose to enter voluntarily as well.”

“Entering was my own choice. If you came to find me with the thought of having me accompany you, I would only call you naive.”

“Naive…”

Tan Han was stunned by my words, “Alright, I won’t interfere with your actions. Actually, I didn’t have much hope in inviting you to investigate together from the start. But I hope I can learn some things from you, is that okay? It will only take up a little of your time.”

“Of course, go ahead and ask.”

“Do you know how to lift the Sleeping Curse?”

“Clear out all the Nightmares.”

“How to clear them?”

“Haven’t you encountered one?”

I frowned and asked.

“The Nightmares will actively look for us?”

“So you haven’t encountered one. You can use spells to eliminate them, it’s very simple.”

“You can use spells? It’s that simple? Then you… sorry, are the Nightmares hard to find?”

“Logically speaking, they are indeed hard to find.”

I nodded, but I recalled that the Nightmares I had encountered before would subconsciously search for people.

So, as long as we gave it time, those Nightmares would eventually find this densely populated area of Ninglan New City on this ruin.

The Nightmare is a part of the Fool's Dream, but it being called a Nightmare is not for nothing.

After all, their predecessors were dream creatures.

Their existence is a collection of memory, cognition, and some unknown information, emotions, and energy.

I had previously guessed that Nightmares needed to feed on emotions such as fear, so the densely populated Ninglan New City was their first choice.

Before I arrived, the city lord had already revealed to me that Ninglan New City was being harassed by Nightmares.

It was just that I didn't pay any attention to it.

“Then do you have a method?”

“No, I’m not omnipotent. Perhaps… you can ask the city lord of Ninglan New City. He should be very willing to cooperate with you. I heard him say that there have also been incidents of citizens in Ninglan New City being harassed by Nightmares.”

“Thank you.”

After learning this information, Tan Han also had her next goal.

“Are you ready to leave?”

“Yes, I won’t disturb you anymore. Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Tan Han turned her head and looked at me.

“Yes, thank you for understanding. Also… a piece of advice, be careful of the Nightmare Demon. It is the main culprit behind the deaths of the Sleeping Curse.”

“Nightmare Demon?”

“Don’t ask me. If nothing unexpected happens, the city lord should know more than I do. It’s up to you.”

After all, I had also communicated a lot of information with the city lord, and they had also obtained a lot of intelligence from the Nightmare Demon.

It all depended on whether Tan Han and the others could get it out of the city lord.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, I didn’t help much.”

“No… I don’t believe you would do anything meaningless, just like that Witch’s Secret Realm last time.”

“Think whatever you want.”
