Chapter 322 Summer Vacation
Lin Tianlang couldn't believe his eyes. His father was actually right in front of him at this moment, sitting in the principal's office, drinking tea with Principal Vincent!
"Ah, son, how do you say this? It's a bit troublesome to explain. Anyway, please sit over here first." Father Lin smiled and said to Lin Sirius.
"Oh, oh..." Lin Tianlang hadn't recovered from the shock yet, but he still sat next to his father.
"Principal?" Lin Sirius glanced at Vincent, his face full of doubts.
"I know you must be full of doubts at this time, please don't worry, just listen to me explain to you slowly." Vincent took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I invited your father here. The situation has changed, and there are some things I have to tell you."
"Dad, have you always known about the existence of the magical world?" Lin Sirius looked at his father and said in disbelief. Because he saw something wrong in his father's expression. His father seemed to have known Principal Vincent for a long time.
"Uh, yes." Father Lin nodded and said apologetically.
"Then, does mom know?" Lin Tianlang was even more surprised.
"I know everything. Do you think your mother doesn't know? You should know that I don't have any secrets in front of your mother." Father Lin replied.
"Haha, then the relationship between you and your husband is very harmonious." Vincent laughed and said.
"Huh??" Lin Tianlang's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost couldn't help but stand up. He still remembered that he set a flag at the beginning of the semester, that is, after the end of the semester, he would confess all this to his parents. He was not actually going to a university, but studying magic.
He thought a lot, including how to explain it, how his parents would react, whether they would believe him, and whether they would think he was mentally ill or something like that. But the only thing I never thought about was that my parents actually knew about the existence of the magic world and what they were doing. It was me who was kept in the dark.
"Then, why didn't you tell me?" Lin Tianlang asked.
"Sorry, it's not that we don't want to, but the principal doesn't let us do it. He said he doesn't want you to know things too early that you shouldn't know so early." Father Lin sighed and slowly explained.
"Speaking of which, Principal Vincent really hasn't changed at all. After so many years, he still has the same appearance."
"Hahaha, even though I say that, I am getting old and I am not as strong as I was when I was young." Vincent smiled slightly and said.
"Dad, when did you and the principal meet?" Lin Tianlang asked.
"Many, many years ago, Principal Vincent and I have known each other for probably twenty years." Father Lin thought for a while and said.
"So long?!" Lin Tianlang looked shocked.
"Yes, when I first met Principal Vincent, it was the age when you entered school, that is, when you were just eighteen years old. The principal at that time had already looked like this now. It was really a little bit... Nothing has changed." Father Lin said: "And I, haha, am already a middle-aged uncle now, but I look older than you, the principal."
"Then, Dad, did you come to Shenglun College to study at that time?" Lin Tianlang grabbed his father's clothes and said eagerly.
"Here we come." Father Lin nodded: "But my situation is different from yours. In the magic talent test at that time, I was grade F."
"Later, when my father, your grandfather, heard that I was an F-level talent, he applied to drop out of school and took me back. At that time, Principal Vincent told me that the responsibility did not fall on me. on the shoulders."
"So after I dropped out of school, I returned to the human world and went to an ordinary university. Later, by chance, I became obsessed with boxing, and that's how I started my current career as a boxing coach. At that time, I also learned from your grandfather's words , only then did I hear everything about the magical world and the human world."
Father Lin patted Lin Sirius on the shoulder and said sincerely.
"F level..." Lin Tianlang murmured and fell into silence. He never imagined that his father would actually have the same experience as himself, but because of the different results, he and his father embarked on completely different paths. His father returned to the human world, while he stayed in the magical world and studied magic.
In other words, if his father had been tested for S-level talent at that time, it might have been nothing for him, and he might not have known whether he would have been born.
"So..." Lin Tianlang looked at his father, hesitant to speak.
"I know what you want to ask, son." Father Lin nodded, and then sighed softly: "Your grandfather also had exactly the same experience as me. Including your great-grandfather, too. But we all have the same experience. F-level talent, the responsibility is not on our shoulders.”
"That is to say..."
"Yes, son, the responsibility... falls on your shoulders." Father Lin patted Lin Sirius hard and pursed his lips.
"Is it because I am an S-level talent?" Lin Tianlang gave the principal a confused look. There was too much information, and he felt like his brain couldn't handle it.
"No, it should be said that because the responsibility falls on your shoulders, you are S-class." Vincent said word by word.
"My child, your identity is far from as simple as you think. Your family is also far from as simple as you think."
"Let me tell you a story. After I tell it, you will understand..."
"..."
Principal Vincent started talking. He started talking about thousands of years ago, and the demon king would break the seal every 500 years. Whenever the demon king breaks his seal, the inheritor of the ancient god's power will appear and seal the demon king into a new one.
Just like the Demon Lord breaks his seal every 500 years, the Inheritor also only appears once every 500 years. This is fate, to meet his old enemy. In the dark, everything is already doomed.
"And now, the Demon Lord is about to break his seal, and you are the inheritor of this life." Vincent looked into Lin Tianlang's eyes and said solemnly.
"Your father and your grandfather actually have the blood of the inheritor flowing through them. Your family is actually one of the descendants of the inheritor 500 years ago. But in normal times, because the Demon Lord's seal is still It's very intact. The blood in your body can't feel the threat, so it won't be activated. The magic talent will only show an F level."
"However, your bloodline has been activated. This means that the Demon Lord is not far away from breaking the seal."
"..."
In the following time, Vincent said a lot to Sirius, and Lin Sirius's father also said a lot to himself. The conversation finally lasted for two hours before it ended.
In these two hours, Lin Tianlang received an unimaginable amount of information, but there were some things he was certain of. He finally knew what was special about his identity, and he also fully understood why he came to the magic world and what his responsibilities were.
In the evening, Lin Tianlang sent his father out of school. Before leaving, Lin's father said to Lin Tianlang with sincerity: "Son, don't have too much psychological burden. What is supposed to come will always come, but before that, you at least still have time. So don't have any It’s too much pressure, okay? We’ll all support you.”
"Yes, I know."
On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Tianlang was thinking as he walked, feeling very complicated.
"Am I going to die?" Lin Sirius asked in the principal's office at that time.
"According to past records, no. After sealing the Demon Lord, you will not die, but you will lose all magical power and become a mortal again. The bloodline in your body will also be sealed again and passed down as a legacy. To the next inheritor.”
"The purpose of coming to you today is firstly to let you truly understand your identity. Secondly, I must also let you know that the demons have also begun to notice you. In this blood moon incident, Tuke, Chelister, they are all here to target you. If the Demon Lord wants to break this fateful cycle, he will do everything in his power to kill you."
"But you can rest assured that with us here, we won't let those demons succeed so easily. All you need to do is work hard to improve your strength, and we will do our best to help you."
"..."
Although the principal's words were very reassuring, Lin Tianlang began to feel complicated when he thought of his responsibilities.
"So...the last thing I need to do...is to face the Demon Lord...?" Lin Tianlang looked at the sky and secretly clenched his fists.
"Seal the Demon Lord...turn back into a mortal...and then pass it on to the next inheritor?"
"No, I don't want this. The Demon Lord wants to break the cycle of fate, and I also want to break the cycle of fate in my family."
"I'm not strong enough yet, I need to become stronger!"
Secretly making up his mind, Lin Tianlang said to himself, and then returned to the dormitory. When leaving the principal's office, the principal said that he conservatively estimated that it would take another three years. During this period, he must work hard.
……
The next day came, and the students were extremely excited. There is no other reason than that the holidays are here. Today is the last day of the semester. After the results of the final exam come out, it has already been settled no matter what. There is no point in caring about it anymore. The focus is on the next two months of summer vacation.
"Oh yeah!! It's holiday!!!" After returning to the classroom after the school ceremony, Carlion said with excitement. He does have the capital to be excited and has passed all subjects. At least he doesn't have to worry about retaking the exams. This summer vacation, he can have fun for two months.
"Isn't it just a holiday? It's not the first time. Why are you so excited?" Leia said in a funny voice.
"You don't understand Leia. A summer vacation with a burden and a summer vacation without a burden are two different things! Besides, when I think about not having to see Griffin's stinky face again next semester, I I feel so excited!! Oh yeah!!!”
Caerleon yelled like a madman. Some students around him cast dissatisfied looks at him: "Hey, Carion, are you going to be so arrogant?"
"It's broken, it's broken, someone is in a hurry." Carlion laughed: "I wish you all the best in retaking Potions next semester!"
"Gan, I'm so angry! Brothers, kill this guy!"
"No, no, no, brother, I was wrong... Wucao, don't slap me in the face!"
Carlion was surrounded by several people and beaten up, and he paid the price for his unobtrusive speech. Leia was watching the show happily and had no intention of helping.
In his seat, Lin Tianlang quietly packed his belongings. Some students have already packed their schoolbags and left. They have long been eager to go home and don't want to stay any longer.
"Classmate Lin Tianlang, what's wrong with you?" Beside Lin Tianlang, Shirley asked.
"What's wrong?" Lin Tianlang glanced at Sherry, a little confused.
"I feel like you have something on your mind..." Shirley whispered.
"Ah, that's not the case. I was just thinking about my plans for this vacation." Lin Sirius said, "The vacation is so long. I don't want to waste all my time at home. I plan to go to the magic world to see it."
He had already thought about it last night. During the two months of summer vacation, he will first spend a month at home with his parents to rest and learn some small spells on his own. In the next month, he went directly to the magical world to walk around, take a look, and learn more about this world.
"So that's it." Sheris nodded, and then she smiled lightly: "Classmate Lin Sirius... Since you said you want to come to the magic world, do you want to consider coming to our Crescent Forest?"
"Crescent Forest?"
"Yes, that is the largest settlement of our elves." Sheris nodded. Vaguely, Lin Tianlang saw a glimmer of expectation in Sherry's expression.
The blonde girl seemed to hope that she could agree to her invitation.
"Hey...it seems like it is indeed a good idea." Lin Tianlang touched his chin and nodded. Indeed, he was not familiar with the magical world and would not have much direction if he walked blindly by himself. Now Sherry invites herself to the Crescent Forest, which is indeed a good place to go.
"Thank you for the invitation, Shiris. When the time comes, I will write you a Fetion letter to contact you." Lin Sirius said with a smile.
"Yes." Sherry nodded slightly and smiled lightly.
"Then, can you please take care of me when the time comes? Hahaha! That's it, see you during the holidays!"
"See you during the holidays, classmate Lin Tianlang."
Lin Tianlang said goodbye to Sherry with a smile, put on his schoolbag, and left the classroom. He went straight back to the dormitory and prepared to pack his luggage. In fact, he didn't have much to take, just some clothes. But while packing his belongings, he suddenly discovered a white box.
The box had some dust on it and hadn't been touched in a while.
When I opened the box, I saw a simple and beautiful pistol lying inside.
"Oh, I almost forgot about this thing." Lin Tianlang looked at the pistol in the box and said to himself.
"When the time comes to set off, you can consider taking it with you. Let's leave it here for now."
Lin Sirius put the pistol back in the cabinet, then dragged his suitcase and left the dormitory. Downstairs, a silver-haired girl was already waiting. The girl had made an appointment with him in the classroom just now to go back together.
Besides her, there was another girl with dark green hair. The girl was a little shy. When she saw Lin Tianlang dragging his suitcase out, she whispered hello.
"You are really slow. Why are you slower than a girl?" Xu Weiwei said angrily.
"Okay, okay, let's go, Miss Xu." Lin Tianlang said with a smile, and then left the school with the two girls.
"What are you thinking about? You keep laughing." Xu Weiwei asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something...I'll tell you later during the holidays." Lin Tian said with a smile. Regarding going to Crescent Forest, he still needs to make detailed plans...
