Chapter 45: The Eight Trigrams of Saiyajin (Two Consecutive Chapters)

  Du Wei had imagined many things, wondering what was sealed in this oil painting.

  The "video" left by Semmel's magic circle has already explained that this is a magical creature left by Semmel.

  Or perhaps it was a ghost? A goblin? Even if Semmel had left behind a talking skull, Duve would not have been one whit surprised.

  But all the guesses turned out to be wrong!

  It was Semele himself who walked out of the oil painting!

  Looking at the silver-haired woman in red robes in front of him, Du Wei took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "Unexpected... unexpected..."

  "What's wrong?" Xiemer spoke up, her voice as gentle and melodious as the magic video Duwei had seen before, with a hint of husky sensuality.

  "I didn't expect you to seal yourself in a painting." Du Wei smiled wryly, after all, he had already experienced too many surprising things, and this blow was quickly overcome. He looked at the woman in front of him: "What should I call you? The great Master Saimel? Or... my great-great-grandmother?"

  Pfft.

  Xiao Mei laughed, and when she did, her eyes curved like a bright moon.

  "It's neither." The silver-haired woman looked at Du Wei, her attitude seemingly very gentle: "I'm not Semel himself, just a... a replica."

  Du Wei looked at her with an inexplicable gaze.

  "Sayuri left me as a guide for those who come after... I am a magical creature that inherited part of her knowledge... To be precise, I am a spiritual being, I don't have a body, no physical form... I'm just a shadow, an illusion." She looked at Duwei with a smile, then stretched out her hand and slowly reached out to touch his face.

  Soon, her small white hand "passed through" Du Wei's head.

  "Look, my body is intangible, without a fixed form... I'm just a copied memory of Semel's. As for my appearance..." She suddenly blinked: "This was chosen by myself. My memories are all Semel's memories, the memories of a woman. And Semel is the only woman I've ever seen... In some sense, I am Semel, just one part of her. So, in the end, I chose my own form, I chose Semel's appearance to meet you." At this point, this "Semel" looked at Du Wei and said softly: "My... master."

  The gods bear witness, this guy's eyes shone with a sly glint when he shouted the word "Master".

  Du Wei immediately realized that this magical creature released by himself would probably not be so simple... and even less likely to be a hundred percent obedient guy!

  Not Saymer himself...

  This put Duv at ease. He already had enough things to face on his own.

  If we really add another... resurrected great-great-grandmother, it would be a real headache.

  "Can you... change into a different appearance?" Du Wei sighed: "Your current appearance will give me a lot of pressure... and if others see your appearance..."

  "Don't worry, I was released by your spell, and I'm only connected to your spiritual power... Others can't see me." She continued smiling.

  "So, what should I call you? You've got to have a name, right?"

  "Xia Mei'er." She thought for a moment: "I still like this name, just call me Xia Mei'er then."

  Du Wei couldn't help but wipe away his sweat... It was still his great-great-great-grandmother after all.

  "Can you teach me star magic now?" Du Wei frowned.

  This Semmel seems to have been locked up for too long and now appears curious about everything.

  She actually sat high on Du Wei's desk, her two white and tender little legs swaying back and forth in front of Du Wei... Oh my god, didn't she know that the hem of her robe wasn't very long?

  If things go on like this, it's really a bit suspicious of being walked away.

  What a beautiful woman walking naked in front of you... was originally a very pleasant thing.

  But if she looked exactly like your great-great-grandmother... that wouldn't be pleasant... but eerie!

  Joanna looks similar in appearance, but after all, she is another person. Although they look very alike, their personalities and whatnot would not make Du Wei feel uncomfortable in his heart.

  The Semir in front of her, she not only looks like him, but also has a part of the memories that are completely copied from the real Semir!

  "Alright, come down!" Du Wei couldn't help but turn his head around, then walked to a corner of the study room, picked up a blanket from the sofa and threw it over: "Put this on."

  Originally Du Wei was going to spend the night in the study, and the quilt had been prepared for him by the servants.

  Xia Mei'er's body flashed, not only was she not covered by the quilt, but she also "wore" it out from under the quilt, with a malicious tone: "Oh, young man, why are you blushing? Am I not pretty?"

  "No, I just feel awkward..." Du Wei's face was stiff: "You're very pretty, but I couldn't help but think of you as my great-great-grandmother."

  "Hahaha...!" Samir laughed with great relish, then suddenly squeezed his eyes shut: "That might be fun too!"

  Du Wei was starting to get a headache.

  This Semmel isn't just some mindless tool, she's almost a living being now. She was originally created by the real Semmel as a copy of a memory... but after being sealed away for nearly two hundred years, I'm afraid she's been suffocated for too long!

  This magical creature may have been created with a blank slate, but... after two hundred years, her personality has undoubtedly been filled in.

  "Do you know? My lovely, handsome young master." Saimel finally jumped off the table, but his body seemed to float towards Duwei like a ghost. His eyes were filled with amusement: "In these two hundred years, I've been living in this study all along! In this study, I've witnessed many, many things!"

  "What's going on?"

  The ancestors of the Rollin family have always made some major decisions here! There are also many important events related to the prosperity of the family, which were once decided in this room.

  Of course... there must be many family secrets as well!

  But... Du Wei was disappointed.

  This Semel, she didn't say anything about some secret or major family event...

  But rather...

  Bagua!

  Yes, it's standard Bagua!

  For example... a young master of a certain generation had an affair with a pretty maid in this study. A clan leader of a certain generation wrote love letters to his lover on the desk in this study... Even Du Wei heard from Semel's mouth that his "grandfather", the current Earl's father, the former head of the family, a man considered serious and rigid: After a banquet in the castle, he brought two noble girls into this study for an unbridled meeting...

  "These... are all things I've seen with my own eyes!" Semel said, his eyes still shining with curiosity and excitement: "I also know that in this study, on a certain bookshelf, there are some 'forbidden' books hidden, do you want to take a look at the private treasures left by your ancestors? My dear, handsome young master?"

  Du Wei's smile became somewhat unnatural as he gazed at Saimel, whose face was twisted into a malevolent grin. He sighed and said, "I'm not interested... Listen up! Your lovely, handsome young master is now only interested in... Stellar Magic. I want to learn the Stellar Magic left behind by Saimel, got it?"

  "Stardust magic... again with the stardust magic..." Saimel's face suddenly fell: "Why does everyone like learning magic... is magic really that fun?"

  The mischievous smile on the woman's face was gone, and her eyes seemed a bit heavy: "Do you want to learn Stellar Magic? Well, I have to remind you, don't regret it later! I'll tell you, if it weren't for Stellar Magic... Saimel wouldn't have died so early!"

  Du Wei's heart skipped a beat: "What did you say? Didn't Saymer die of grief and kill herself after her husband passed away?"

  "Sorry, this... is the one secret I can't tell you." Saimel blinked: "I was ordered that unless you learn the last and most difficult spell of Stellaluna magic, I am not allowed to tell you about it until then."

  Du Wei was getting a bit impatient: "Alright, I'm not very interested either. Can we start learning now?"

  "Sorry, not tonight." Semel shook his head: "Stellar magic is different from ordinary magic, we can't practice here... Semel left that white tower in this castle, on the white tower you can observe the stars most clearly, it's a very suitable place to practice... This study room, dark and gloomy, can't see the starry sky, not suitable for learning stellar magic."

  White Tower...

  Du Wei frowned: "Must it be White Tower?"

  Semir thought for a moment: "Without the White Tower... then it's best to find an open, quiet place where I can clearly observe the starry sky... most importantly, I must be able to see the sky."

  "Alright then... let's meet tomorrow night."

  Du Wei didn't plan on saying anything more to this "Saimel"...... After all, watching his great-great-grandmother lift her skirt and reveal her calves as she ran back and forth in front of him wasn't exactly an amusing thing.
