Chapter 7 The Door Without a Handle
From Vanessa's perspective, she felt that the boy in front of her was crazy.
Although this yellow light door is not very high or wide, at least it is very thin.
——Thin means it is easy to push open.
He won't be like her stupid nephew who can't open the door no matter what.
But this young man named Ah Hao clearly had the door right in front of him.
Oh, he just wouldn't push me away.
She watched with incredulous eyes as the young man turned his back to the door and kept moving, shaking his head up and down from time to time.
It's like dancing a ritual dance on a remote island.
She wanted to laugh, but before she laughed, she glanced at Mrs. Northam next to her.
Mrs. Northam stood up at some point.
She raised her head high, not knowing where she was looking.
Vanessa couldn't help but follow her gaze.
——Nothing?
Then she discovered that the boy had stopped his weird movements and was stationary in one place.
He suddenly reached out and touched the air in front of him.
Then, the yellow light door behind him gradually collapsed, collapsing into a ball of light, which then dispersed into light spots, and then disappeared without a trace.
"This is a failure? What a waste."
Vanessa showed a disdainful smile. Worse than Wende, she thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say it.
What she didn't notice was that Mrs. Northam beside her showed a little surprise.
Mrs. Northam lowered her raised head, looked directly at Ahao, and then moved her lips slightly.
...
"What did you see?"
As soon as he touched the stone door that suddenly appeared, and before he could recover from the shock, Mrs. Northam's voice came to Ahao's ears.
It was so close that he seemed to be talking in his ear.
He was frightened and turned to look at Mrs. Northam.
Mrs. Northam nodded kindly to him. His heart gradually calmed down.
As early as when Wen De told him that his grandma was an arcane mage, he had been guessing what kind of person his grandma was and what kind of abilities she would have.
He has already made some mental preparations.
Since he may have "out of body" now, it's not surprising that he has "transmitted sounds into secrets".
"I saw a door, a stone door, a very big door." Ahao said directly.
"Very good, then try pushing it away..." Mrs. Northam's words rang in her ears again.
——At this moment, Wende's aunt Vanessa suddenly spoke.
"Hahaha! What are you playing over there? A pantomime? There is nothing in front of you, so there is no door you mentioned! What about the stone door? There will never be any stone door in the enlightenment ceremony."
Her mean voice continued: "I think you should just accept the fact that you are a loser and go back to the city..."
"Shut up, Vanessa!"
Mrs. Northam's voice suddenly changed. Her voice was hoarse and sharp with multiple tones at the same time. It was like fingernails scratching an iron plate, like metal being collided.
Except for her, all the sounds stopped suddenly. It was like the whole world wanted to listen to her next words.
Her irresistible voice came, "Put the jade key back to its place, and then go back to your room. You won't have to come out for this month."
As the words were spoken, Vanessa's pupils seemed to have suddenly lost focus and lost their luster.
She obeyed Mrs. Northam's order numbly, picked up the plate, and walked out of the church stiffly like a mechanical doll.
Ahao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Although Wen De said that his grandma is very powerful, this is too awesome!
What ability is this? Is this an arcane mage?
The key is...it's easy to relieve your anger!
Love it, grandma!
Ah Hao turned back and looked at his door carefully.
Without Vanessa's mean noise, the world feels cleaner.
"Grandma Northam, but this door doesn't have a doorknob."
Ah Hao remembered clearly what Mrs. Northam said, to hold the door handle and then push the door open.
But this huge stone door doesn't have any door handle.
"Then try pushing it away!"
"good!"
Ah Hao mustered up his strength and pushed out with all his strength.
Nothing happens.
I pushed it several times, but the door didn't budge.
Instead, the lines on the door gradually wandered and gathered together.
The gathered lines slowly formed four words in front of Ah Hao.
Four very fancy characters, it took Ahao a long time to figure out what they were.
——[Divide earth into fire]
What does it mean?
He blinked in confusion, and then the door in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Just like Ah Hao didn't know how it suddenly appeared, he also didn't know how the door disappeared.
"The door is gone!"
Ahao took a breath of air, and the alluring smell disappeared.
"Alas." It was Mrs. Northam who sighed.
"Come back! Come back~!" Mrs. Northam said again in her multiple voices.
Ah Hao felt that her words were like commands. A suction force came from him, and he crawled back to the body below like a moth to the flame.
Mrs. Northam breathed a sigh of relief and took the candle that Ah Hao had been holding from his hand.
Ah Hao shook his hand, feeling that his arms were a little sore.
Grandma Wende sighed and suddenly said: "You may not be an arcane mage anymore, Ahao."
As soon as Ahao returned to his body and was still not used to it, he heard words that were like a blow to the head.
"Why?"
"You are not the first person to encounter a door without a handle, and you won't be the last.
"I have lived for so long, and I have never seen anyone able to push open a door without a door handle. I just wanted to encourage you to see if a miracle will happen. But unfortunately, there are always some doors in this world that cannot be pushed open.
.”
After hearing this, Ahao's face gradually darkened.
Then he thought he remembered something and said hurriedly: "I can try again. That yellow door has a door handle. It is the light door from before."
"That door was broken." Mrs. Northam still said with a look of reluctance, "I don't know why this happened, but after you made your choice, the light door also disappeared.
"It's my fault, I asked you to choose the biggest door." Mrs. Northam sighed, with self-blame in her eyes. "If you chose the light door instead of the stone door, you should be able to become an arcane mage. Maybe.
Not great, but at least I got a foot in the door.”
"No, Grandma Northen, how can I blame you? All the choices were made by me. And..."
And Ah Hao felt that the matter was not over yet. There were four mysterious words in front of the stone door...
But the door has disappeared.
He thought again of Mrs. Northam's words, no one can push open a door without a handle.
He didn't know how to organize his words.
"What a sensible boy. Don't be discouraged. Even if you can't become an arcane mage, you can still live a good life.
"Come, come with me, I'll talk to you."
Mrs. Northam's words interrupted Ahao's thinking.
When he reacted, Mrs. Northam was already standing at the door of the chapel waiting for him, and he hurried to follow her.
Mrs. Northam took Ahao all the way back to the door of her room.
On the way, he saw Wende's aunt Vanessa, who was rolling forward in the corridor. She put her hands on the ground, and then rolled forward. One after another.
The servants nearby were watching from a distance, whispering together from time to time.
He opened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Northam, but she seemed not to see Vanessa at all, and walked straight past her without telling the servants away.
