Chapter 8:Albino
“The train doors are about to close.Passengers who are boarding,please be aware that the train doors are about to close.”
The gentle female voice from the magic sound stone tirelessly issued reminders,then continued on.
“Welcome aboard Train No.12901 on the rail tracks.This train’s final destination is Avalon Academy,with the next stop at the Principality of Timisefi.”
Tyr sighed inwardly at how widely these magic stones were used,but Dragon Slayer rolled his eyes.
“What a bumpkin.”
“What do you mean,’bumpkin’?”Tyr couldn’t help but wonder.He had never heard this term before.Seeing that Tyr genuinely didn’t know,Dragon Slayer couldn’t resist teasing him and said with a smile.
“It means very beautiful.”
“Very pretty?”
“Yeah,don’t you think this train looks very rustic?I was just sighing about it.”
“Yeah,indeed,although it’s just an ordinary train,it looks much better than some hotels.It’s really…rustic.”Tyr’s silly response almost made Dragon Slayer laugh,then she continued.
“Speaking of pretty,don’t you think Yuehai,who had an accident with you at the birthday banquet,is also rustic?”
Uh,Tyr’s face stiffened.Why mention Yuehai again?Recently,he had been visited by quite a few reporters because of the incident where he kissed Yuehai.If it weren’t for the intimidating power of that hotel,he would probably have been overwhelmed by now.In fact,Tyr didn’t know that if it weren’t for what Zamiyah said at the time,Tyr might have been a corpse by now.
“Yuehai is indeed a rare bumpkin in the empire,but why would Dragon Slayer want to mention her?”
Upon hearing Tyr’s words,Dragon Slayer’s face suddenly flushed red,as if enduring some immense pain.The look of someone on the verge of internal injury startled Tyr greatly.
Suddenly,at this moment,a seat next to him,which had been vacant,was occupied by a young girl.
What astonished everyone in the entire carriage was her white shoulder-length hair and a pair of eyes resembling rubies.The striking contrast made the already conspicuous girl even more difficult to ignore.Moreover,she was exceptionally beautiful,Tyr judged her beauty to be on par with Damiyala’s level,or even surpassing it with her peculiar demeanor.
“What’s the matter?”Sensing Tyr’s gaze,the white-haired girl slowly turned her head.Her cold voice,while not as devoid of emotion as Angel’s,still sent a chill down one’s spine.
“No,nothing.”Tyr couldn’t possibly say something rude like”Your hair is so strange,”even though he was ignorant,he wouldn’t do such a thing.
Naturally,the others wouldn’t blatantly stare for too long either.They were merely curious,and once their curiosity waned,they all averted their gazes and went back to their own activities.
Dragon Slayer regained composure,no longer looking like he was about to suffer internal injuries,but when he glanced at the white-haired girl,his eyebrows raised as if he had just spotted a rare species.The contact of their gazes made the white-haired girl turn her head again to look in Tyr’s direction,while Dragon Slayer quickly averted his gaze,turning his head towards the window.
“What’s the matter?”Naturally,the white-haired girl directed her suspicion towards Tyr.The innocent man had no idea what was going on,shaking his head as he waved his hand.
This reaction obviously left the white-haired girl feeling uneasy,but it wasn’t enough to warrant a verbal warning,so she withdrew her gaze once again.
At this moment,Dragon Slayer pulled Tyr’s sleeve and gestured towards the other side with his finger.Tyr immediately understood,lowering his head to lean closer to Dragon Slayer’s face.
Dragon Slayer leaned in and whispered softly in Tyr’s ear.
“The one next to you is quite a rare species.”
Tyr raised an eyebrow and replied softly as well.
‘What do you mean?'”
“You see her hair,and those red eyes,she must be a natural albino.”
“Albino?”
“Yes,it’s a terminal condition.No one survives past twenty-seven.As she ages,her skin will become whiter,and her internal organs will also turn white.Eventually,even her red eyes will fade into blankness,and that will be when she dissipates into the heavens and the earth.”
“That’s truly pitiful.”Of course,this was just a casual remark from Tyr.Whether others lived or died had nothing to do with him.
“But on the bright side,people like her have extremely high learning abilities.It’s almost certain they’ll become powerful practitioners in both magic and martial arts.”
“However,Dragon Slayer’s manner of speaking,finishing one sentence and immediately starting another,left Tyr speechless.He sincerely hoped she could finish her sentences in one go,but timid as he was,Tyr dared not speak up.”
“But her white hair is different from the pale hair of the elderly.In another light,it’s actually quite rustic.”
“Haha!”Tyr’s sudden remark caught Dragon Slayer off guard,making her burst into laughter.Sitting behind,watching the whole process,Shating Iron Sword became even more convinced of his initial judgment.It seemed he indeed needed to foster good relations with Lord Dragon Slayer.
