Chapter 94 Letter of Recommendation
The library rooftop is undoubtedly a superb vantage point for viewing the scenery.
The view here is unobstructed.
The sea stretched out to the horizon ahead, while the path behind us led slowly towards the town.
A tranquil atmosphere envelops this building, which seems to be on the edge of the world, while the scent of the sea and the sound of singing constantly create a sense of leisure and tranquility.
Aaron sat on the wall, quietly watching Lola draw and paint on the rooftop floor with charcoal.
After Lola finished, she faced Aaron and slammed her head down.
Aaron stood up, walked over to Lola, and then carefully examined what Lola had described.
On the ground, a magic circle was being drawn.
This is a practical lesson.
The use of "Knot of the Mist" carries risks. To prevent Lola from injuring herself due to lack of experience when using her ability, Aaron decided to supervise and guide Lola in completing the practical exercise.
He asked Lola to draw the magic circle first, and after Aaron checked it and confirmed it was correct, Lola would use her power to inscribe the magic circle on the paper.
Aaron looked down at the magic circle on the ground, carefully observing every detail.
"how?
★」
Lola seemed a little anxious; the fact that she, who was usually quiet, actually asked about the result was the best proof of that.
"Complete and accurate," Aaron nodded, "but—"
"Hmm?" Lola frowned and looked at Aaron.
Aaron pointed to a part of the magic circle:
"That's a reverse matrix connected to the magic circle texture. Once you activate your ability, it will affect the space around the texture. And I didn't ask you to do that."
Laura explained, "This is intentional. I want this port to stay here permanently. Aaron, is that alright?"
Aaron smiled and nodded, saying:
"I don't mind. If that was intentional on your part, then there's no need to worry. In that case, try channeling your power to activate the magic array once, and experience the feeling of contacting the 'Radiant Realm.'"
Laura nodded in agreement and then looked at the pattern on the ground.
Aaron immediately stepped aside to avoid interfering with Lola's performance.
Slowly, a blinding white light enveloped the black carbon residue.
Lola, positioned at the center of the magic circle, resembled a newborn angel under the light.
As the array was completed, the white light instantly solidified, as if forming a transparent light shield as thin as a cicada's wing.
The light shield cracked rapidly and then spread outwards, with countless purple-brown rhomboid crystal chips immediately floating above the magic array.
When light from the outside enters the area where the Purple Diamond Crystal is suspended, it is immediately scattered into purple light.
This made that area resemble a realm bathed in rosy light.
Looking at Lola now, she is barely visible, and multiple afterimages appear.
Even Aaron, who witnessed the whole thing, couldn't tell which one was Lola's real body.
Suddenly, all the Lauras turned their heads at the same time.
Her eyes were completely filled with the glow of the sunset.
After the time passed, the rosy clouds vanished, and Lola still stood on the library's rooftop, basking in the refreshing sea breeze.
Aaron hurriedly stepped forward, only to find that the bricks under his feet had been damaged by the Reverse Matrix.
The magic circle that Lola just created is permanently imprinted on the library's rooftop.
She has succeeded, but Aaron needs to ask her how she feels:
"how?"
"Just now, I felt disconnected from the world," Laura replied briefly.
Aaron nodded: "This means you've successfully connected to the Realm of Dawn and entered it. After arriving in the Realm of Dawn, did you notice any changes?"
"Yes, it was very quiet there, everything was still, and I felt a sense of peace in my heart. It felt as if I had stayed there for a long time, or as if I had only lingered there for a moment."
Hmm? Aaron frowned. Is there something wrong with time in the Realm of Clouds?
He continued, "Can you control yourself within the Realm of Dawn?"
Laura nodded, without making a sound.
"So, was this experience helpful to you?"
Lola nodded again.
Lola is indeed a man of few words. Even if she can't say she's completely mastered the Kingdom Language, it should be more than enough for normal communication.
She remained silent, probably due to her personality.
Well, Aaron knows she gained something, and that's enough.
Regardless, this experiment was a success, and Aaron's lesson achieved its objective.
"So slow!"
Anne complained loudly after Aaron and Laura came down from the rooftop.
Aaron replied in Chinese: "Haste makes waste."
"knew,"
Anne stood up from the stool and walked towards Aaron.
"Just now, someone delivered a letter."
Aaron took the letter, opened it, and read it.
After reading it, Aaron shouted:
"Annie!"
"What's wrong, Aaron?"
"We have the results!" Aaron handed the letter to Anne.
Anne picked up the letter and read it quickly. She jumped up and down several times with joy, as if she had been waiting for this result for a long time.
However, when she looked at Aaron again, her joy vanished, and even sorrow appeared on her face.
She came to Aaron's side, calling out to him in a sorrowful voice:
"Aaron—"
"This is a good thing, why are you making that face?"
As he spoke, Aaron led Annie to sit down to the side.
Now Anne is fourteen years old and a grown woman.
Starting six months ago, Aaron had Anne and Laura attend classes at the comprehensive school in O'Brien Bay regularly.
The comprehensive school is the primary education institution in this world. Young people under the age of twenty-four can learn a lot of basic cultural knowledge, skills, basic martial arts, handicrafts, and other basic skills here.
Of course, the tuition is quite high, and not ordinary people can afford it.
These schools can recommend talented students to various institutions of higher learning or universities for further studies, based on the students' characteristics.
Universities come in many forms, including guild schools, knightly schools, seminaries, and more, and are located all over the world.
Once a recommendation is received, students are eligible to attend a designated university and study there at their own expense.
The letter Aaron had just looked at was from the comprehensive school.
The above record shows that Anne received a recommendation, along with a letter of recommendation.
Anne lowered her head and said, "But if I go, I'll have to leave the library—"
"You don't want to go?"
"think-"
Aaron smiled, reached out, and pulled Annie's lips upwards:
"Then cheer up, this is something to be happy about!"
"But—Aaron, I don't want to leave you."
"Fool," Aaron shook his head, "Your dream used to be to meet as many powerful and influential people in this world as possible. Has your dream changed now?"
"Nothing has changed," Annie shook her head.
"Staying in the library won't make this wish come true."
Aaron encouraged them,
"Life is only once. To avoid regrets later, sometimes you should stride forward without hesitation!"
"But Aaron, I've never left your side," Anne said anxiously.
If Anne hadn't left, Aaron could and was willing to protect her for the rest of his life.
Moreover, this period will surely be filled with joy and satisfaction for Aaron.
However, this may not be a good thing for Anne.
Knowing that Annie has her own goals, he still keeps her by his side.
The more Aaron cares about Anne, the less likely he is to do something like this.
"You're only leaving Annie temporarily; you can come back anytime."
"But·"
"Annie, the life we've experienced may pass, but it will never disappear. Whatever decisions you make, those are real facts that happened."
Aaron reached out and gently stroked the top of Anne's head.
"No matter how far you go or how long you are gone, you will never change in my heart."
Anne stared into Aaron's eyes, then threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Aaron, you will always be Aaron in my heart!"
Aaron returned the hug, and the two lingered for a long time, reluctant to part.
That night, the two talked a lot, and of course, Lola joined in as well.
Lola usually doesn't interrupt or speak unless she's asked a question.
The next day, Anne booked a carriage to go to school, which would depart in five days.
Aaron and Anne both cherished the five days they spent together.
He suspended Lola's teaching program and had her learn on her own.
Instead, he spent every moment with Annie.
They talk about everything, and they never seem to run out of topics to discuss.
The two have been together for fourteen years, so it's no surprise they share many common interests.
But perhaps because they were so compatible, time seemed to fly by even faster.
Five days have passed, and it's time to say goodbye.
Anne hugged Aaron tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Aaron could only advise, "Alright, Annie, we need to catch the carriage."
"Um-.-."
"I'll miss you, Annie."
"Me too, and I definitely miss you more."
"Haha, maybe."
This means that Aaron noticed Anne's hair was a little messy.
He then took out a comb and tidied Annie's hair again.
After a long while, Anne finally reluctantly let go of Aaron.
As she stepped out the door, Aaron hurriedly shouted:
"Annie!"
"Um?"
"Come back and visit often when you have time."
Sixteen years ago, Aaron did not personally convey these words to Henry's ears.
And that blockhead actually passed by his own home several times without going in.
This time, Aaron will definitely not make the same mistake.
Anne nodded vigorously:
"Yes! Definitely! I'll write to you often!"
"Haha, then it's a deal!"
"Pinky promise!"
"Pinky promise!"
Aaron reached out and hooked his little finger with Anne's.
He remembered that Annie was only eight years old when they last made a pinky promise.
Now Annie's fingers are longer and bigger than before.
But Anne seemed unchanged; she asked Aaron for "one hundred years" again.
It's only a hundred years, and Aaron will definitely keep his vow.
After that, Anne slowly walked away from the library, glancing back every few steps.
At this moment, Lola also followed them out.
Aaron asked, "Where are you going?"
“I walked her all the way,” Lola said. “It’s not safe for her to be alone.”
Indeed, the world is not peaceful. There may be bandits and wild beasts roaming around, and recently there have been frequent incidents of demonization.
With Laura's protection, the safety factor should be greatly improved.
Aaron nodded: "Be careful."
Laura nodded, then ran after Anne.
Aaron wiped his stinging eyes.
Although he had anticipated this day would come and had made ample preparations.
But maintaining composure is indeed extremely difficult.
"At least, I don't have to worry about someone suddenly crawling into my bed at night anymore—"
Aaron consoled himself in this way.
The question is whether we should be happy or sad about this.
Perhaps Aaron should weigh things carefully.
Aaron stood still and looked around the library.
Anne has indeed grown into a fledgling bird and flown into the outside world.
But for some reason, at this moment, Anne's image filled every corner of the library in Aaron's mind...
