Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 856: Chapter 851: Depth, -1 — To the New World

And then, there was light.

But that was a long, long time ago—or it could have been just a moment ago.

After all, if the Astrologers of Algraid are correct, the birth of this universe might have just happened not long ago—although for the time scale of all beings in the universe, it may have been “billions of years ago”. Yet, for another time scale that transcends all things in the universe, billions of years are merely an insignificant parameter.

But who cares? At any rate, a senior student, who is busy completing their biology thesis and whose daily sleep has been reduced to less than six hours, definitely won’t care about these “heavenly matters”—the next-door astronomy club might care, but that’s a different story, their credits are tied to this.

Borno, clutching a stack of materials just borrowed from the library, hurried across the top walkway of the college city, his pace brisk as if stirring up a gust of wind.

He ran past an Elf gentleman with messy hair and seemingly severely lacking sleep, nearly colliding with him.

“No running on the upper walkways!” The Elf gentleman with messy hair stumbled a bit, loudly reminding the short youngster who seemed to appear out of nowhere—judging by his small stature and distinct feline-like ears, he must be a Jipulo student, this race is always so reckless.

“I’m sorry, sir!” Borno hastily stopped, turned around, and bowed deeply, almost throwing the stack of books in his arms onto the gentleman, “I’m in a hurry to meet my mentor—I stayed in the library too long, and when I looked at the clock, I realized I was almost half an hour late! I’m terribly sorry, did I hurt you?”

The sincere and anxious attitude of the Jipulo lad had its effect, and the Elf gentleman waved his hand somewhat helplessly: “Alright, go on then, but don’t miss your mentor’s appointment—it’s no small matter. Just don’t dash around like that again, the world won’t end because you’re a bit slower.”

“Yes… Thank you, sir! Goodbye, sir! I’m leaving, sir!”
