  Although it is a studio, it is more like an alchemy workshop.

Narrow, cramped, crowded.

The huge old wooden table is piled with ancient scrolls, the walls are lined with high-to-ceiling shelves, the gray spines are soaked in shadow, and the smell of old books fills the air.

The young man sat cautiously at the table, his black eyelashes drooping, his eyes fixed on a small area in front of him.

"Don't be nervous."

Mu Heng lowered his eyes and looked over, comforting in a deep voice: "Just translate, don't worry about making mistakes."

Shi An: "...Okay, okay."

He took a deep breath and forced himself Set your mind.

It's okay, hold on!

Shi An recalled the content of the previous book that he had seen earlier. The last part of the previous book has already written the part about summoning dragons, and the next book should be able to see the key points soon!

It doesn't matter if he doesn't get to the point immediately, anyway, the whole book is in front of him, isn't that just flipping through!

——Then he might soon find a way to regain his strength.

As for the translation... he just followed behind and felt the fish.

Anyway, since he is now an ordinary human freshman, it is estimated that the principal does not have high hopes for him... right?

Shi An felt that his state of mind was finally more stable.

This is, Old Principal Pei came out of the studio, holding a stack of paper between his withered fingers, and came to the table tremblingly.

He divided the paper in his hand into three stacks, one of which was placed in front of Shi An.

Shi An: "...Eh?"

He blinked, stretched out his hand to pick up the stack of papers in front of him, and asked slowly, "Then, what about the original book?"

Old Principal Pei looked at the young man in front of him kindly and explained: "The original book is really too precious, so generally our translations are done against the transcribed version, but don't worry, my assistant is in charge of the transcription. , 100% recovery is guaranteed."

Shi An: "..."

Is this what I'm worried about! ! !

He took another deep breath, looking down at the transcribed text in his hand with the last glimmer of hope.

What if, what if?

What if what is recorded here is exactly what you need? !

Shi An's eyes fell on the paper and swept across it ten lines at a time.

Crack -

his fingers tightened suddenly, scratching a few creases in the paper.

Old Principal Pei on the side took out his glasses, put them on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the transcript in front of him under the dim light: "Well... this should be the ancient common language of human beings, but there are differences in grammar. There are few variants, the writing time of the book we estimated earlier has to be pushed forward, and if I read it correctly, a lot of dragon language should be used, which is very complicated."

He straightened the glasses with his fingers, a pair of gray His eyes narrowed behind the lenses, and he roughly scanned the text in front of him.

"Although I haven't translated every word of the word, but... According to my experience, this part should be an explanation of the living habits of dragons."

Mu Heng raised his eyes and replied calmly, "As expected of you."

Pei The old principal put down the text, the deep and old gray looked through the lens, looked at the indifferent silver-haired man in front of him, and said slowly: "Although I am old now, but I am also about the abnormality that happened during the actual combat test that day. What I have heard... Of course I will not ask you to verify the authenticity of the rumors, but since you have come to me for help now, I am afraid you have no intention of concealing it, right?"

Mu Heng: "You are right."

He concealed the information that should not be disclosed, and briefly explained the current situation to the old principal Pei.

Due to Mu Heng's desire for exclusive ownership of the dragon, he himself was reluctant to take the initiative to share this information.

However, the brief contact with the mercenary group last time sent him a very bad message.

——Besides him, there are more forces coveting the existence of dragons.

In this case, he can only put his paranoia aside, mobilize all resources and forces, use all methods, even extreme means, just to find the dragon first.

After listening to Mu Heng's description, Old Principal Pei fell into deep thought.

He carefully considered his words and said slowly: "After ten thousand years, the fantasy species has appeared on the mainland again... This matter is indeed very important, even if I am as old as me, I can't stay out of it. If you need my help, sir. , just speak at any time."

Mu Heng nodded: "Thank you."

"So, do you think the key to the whole thing should be in this book left by your ancestors?"

"Perhaps." Mu Heng road.

Old Principal Pei thought for a few seconds, then picked up the transcript in hand and said, "Then this part... do I need to skip it? Maybe what we need to find is a spell or something more practical—"

Mu Heng thought After thinking about it, he replied, "No need."

Old principal Pei: "Oh?"

Mu Heng: "Since my ancestors chose to record this information, it must not be completely useless, even the most subtle, easy The neglected details may become key clues, which is why I came to you for help."

After all, the fine translation of the whole article requires too much work.

Old Principal Pei thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, you are right."

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Shi An: "Speaking of which, he is..."

Mu Heng nodded: "Yes."

Old Principal Pei showed a stunned expression.

No wonder.

Whether it's Shi An's talent for ancient languages, or Mu Heng's not hiding such important information in front of him, it seems to make sense.

Old Principal Pei carefully looked at the boy not far away.

He has been silent since just now, buried his head low behind a few thin pages, his soft hair hung down, covering most of his fair face, as if he had been translating earnestly.

What a good boy.

Old Principal Pei's expression softened slightly. He lowered his voice and asked kindly, "How is it, child? How is your progress?"

Shi An was slightly startled and looked up at Old Principal Pei, with a familiar expression on his face. Zuo calm and calm:

"No, there is no progress." What

a humble child.

Old Principal Pei's eyes became more kind and he said, "Ah, your talent is already one in a thousand, don't be unsure of yourself."

He encouraged: "Come on, try and translate the first paragraph. , read it to us, young people, don't worry about trial and error,"

Mu Heng nodded: "Indeed."

He lowered his silver-white eyelashes, and his clear blue eyes stared at the young man who looked restless in front of him. , said:

"If there is any mistake, senior will correct you, don't be afraid of mistakes."

Shi An: "..."

He turned his head to look at the expectant old Principal Pei, and then turned to look at the encouraging eyes Mu Heng, weakly and helplessly, squeezed the piece of paper in his hand.

This this......

Shi An buried his head again, evaded his gaze on the paper in his hand, and stammered,

"Dragon, dragon, dragon is a kind of..." The

young man's white and delicate ears were rapidly congested, and the whole sheet changed. It was red and hot, and the blush spread from his cheeks to his neck, like some kind of ripe fruit, the skin would break when touched, and sweet juice oozes out, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally gradually became Almost as fine as a gnat:

"Desolate, desolate..."

Mu Heng's eyes darkened slightly.

His fingertips hanging by his side couldn't help but move, and he could hardly resist the urge to pinch it.

Principal Pei obviously didn't think much about it.

He stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Look, the translation is pretty good, you don't need to be shy, just try a few more times in the future."

Shi An lifted the paper, covered his face, bored. A dull "um" sounded.

Since both Mu Heng and Old Principal Pei are experts in this field, the work progressed very quickly. However, due to their dedication to work, they forgot the time when they were busy. By the time they came out of the workshop, it was already dark.

The moon is round and very bright.

The moonlight sprinkled down and spread out on the ground, like pure white frost and snow, and it was a little dazzling.

Shi An lowered his head and followed behind without saying a word.

This afternoon, he was seriously pretending to be a quail, but the "academic exchange" of the other two people still unstoppably spread to his ears, especially when discussing in such a serious tone... such a strange content , it's really too embarrassing ah ah ah ah ah ah! !

After being poisoned for an entire afternoon, Shi An felt as if he had lost his soul.

He followed Mu Heng numbly, his long tail drooping sluggishly, the whole dragon was like an eggplant beaten by frost, listless, like a walking corpse.

Mu Heng stopped, turned to look at the young man behind him, and asked, "Your dormitory has access control, right?"

Shi Anxin nodded absently.

Mu Heng looked down at his watch.

At this point, I'm afraid I can't go back.

He seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyes and asked,

"By the way, how do you feel this afternoon?"

Shi An was startled and jumped back: "What, what?"

Mu Heng didn't seem to have thought of the other party's reaction. So big, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Translation."

"...Oh." Shi An breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at him steadily. Under the moonlight, the man's silver hair was dazzling like a white flame, his eyebrows were deep, and the deep blue pupils were

hidden in the shadows . Fragments crept into my head uncontrollably. Shi An stammered, "No, nothing." Mu Heng took a step in Shi An's direction without warning. His legs were long, and the distance between the two immediately shortened. Since just now, the urge that has been forcibly suppressed has begun to rise. It was like a dark undercurrent surging in the bottom of his heart, bringing an unspeakable and strange desire, forcing him to make actions that he felt out of the ordinary. Mu Heng raised his hand, pinched the young man's thin and white chin, and with a little force, forced the opposite direction to raise his face. "Really?" he repeated in a low, calm voice, without the slightest mood swing. "nothing."





















I don't know if it was intentional or not, the rough leather gloves carelessly rubbed the boy's chin.

Mu Heng frowned slightly, and the ending sound rose, as if he was really doubtful:

"Why is it so easy to blush?"

He lowered his eyes, and his unfathomable gaze fell on Shi An's face, with a sense of presence. Line of sight wanders in.

Really makes me want to see more.
