In the Fengjian Hall, Zero sat on the second floor and kept flipping through the ancient books in his hands. He had a thick stack of books in his hand, and he had been looking through these ancient books for the past few days, and he wanted to figure out the principle of the formation structure of the Dwarven Alchemy Matrix, so that he could know what Tanmon had done on the matrix that night.

But days passed, and he had no clue. Because he is not a dwarf, the number of ancient books that can be read is limited, and most of these books are borrowed from the village study by Archie, the alchemy matrix of the dwarves is too old, and it is a barrier that is crucial to the safety of the village, and it is impossible for the dwarves to lend its structure diagram to others at will. He could only look up those formations similar to the alchemy matrix from some ancient enchantment books, trying to find out the structural principle of the alchemy matrix, but after studying it for so long, he found out some skins, which was too inefficient.

Archie sat across from Zero, and after enchanting a model of a weapon in his hand, he stretched out his arms long. Archie looked at Zero's focused expression and sighed.

Zero heard Archie's sigh, looked up at him and chuckled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Archie looked at Zero's face and said, "I think it's really unfair......"

"How is it unfair?" Asked with zero doubt.

"I learned enchantment earlier than you, but now you're better than me," Archie said helplessly, "I've only finished more than half of the practice, and you've already finished practicing and started reading......"

Zero laughed after hearing Archie's words, he put down the ancient book in his hand, looked at Archie's immature face and said, "That's because I learned a lot of basic knowledge of magic before learning enchantment, magic formations, spirit spells, and enchantment inscriptions, etc., these things are all related to each other, and the same is true for enchantment." And enchantment also has a lot to do with the strength of telekinesis, I'm a telekinesis magician, and I have an innate advantage in telekinesis, so it's easy for me to understand what Grandpa Kusai taught when I learn enchantment. If you're like me and memorize the entire book of Magic Spells and Spells, which is about the same thickness as this book, I'm sure you'll learn enchantment very quickly. ”

"So thick!" Archie exclaimed as he looked at a heavy book stacked aside in his hand, "You've memorized them all?"

"I've memorized it...... Zero thought for a while, "and some of the content in it is too complicated to keep in my head all the time, so I will often turn to that book and try to memorize all the contents of the whole book." ”

"Oh my God...... If I can't memorize it, it's too boring......" Archie said with a bitter face.

"Fortunately, many spells are related, there are similarities between each other, in fact, if you memorize more, you can naturally find the patterns in them, but some spells are just irregular, and those are the most difficult to remember. Zero recalls the process of reciting the entire Encyclopedia of Magic Spells and Spells as he explains to Archie.

"Brother Zero, who did you learn your magic from?" Archie suddenly asked Zero this question.

Zero heard Archie's question, and the image of Josevi in a long dress came to mind, and he exhaled through his nose and replied to Archie, "It's with a ...... A woman who is too lazy to die learns! That woman has no basic qualities as a woman except that she is good-looking and has a good figure, she can't cook, she can't do laundry, she cooks for her and stays at home, and she can drop her rice bowl on the ground by herself. All day long, she would lie on the table and write, draw, and do research, and sometimes she even asked me to wash her feet! and threatened not to give me food if she didn't wash her feet, which was a big joke! I made all the food she ate for her. She also raised demonic beasts, but she was too lazy to clean up the nests of demonic beasts, so she asked me to clean them every day! She also likes to beat people! She doesn't do it lightly or severely, and she beats me to the point that my nose and face are swollen at every turn! I seriously suspect that she taught me magic just so that I could serve her as a servant, and if it weren't for her good looks and good teaching of magic, I would have slipped away a long time ago! Where would I have lived with her for five years?!"

Archie looked at the originally breezy Zero and suddenly complained about so many words, and he couldn't digest it for a while, and after being stunned for a while, he looked at the angry Zero with a dry smile and said, "It seems that your teacher ...... What an impersonal person......"

"Impersonal?" Zero glanced at Archie, "She's just a big lady who lacks heart, okay! Fortunately, she left me, from now on, the sky is high and the birds can fly, I can go wherever I want, and I don't have to serve anyone anymore!"

Archie looked at Zero, who began to dance with his eyebrows, and he put his hand on his chin and said yearningly, "Alas...... I really envy you, Brother Ling, you are so free, you can go wherever you want, unlike us dwarves, you can only stay in this big forest, I really want to see what the outside world is like......"

Zero restrained his expression when he heard Archie's words, he sat up straight, looked at Archie seriously and said, "Actually, maybe it won't be long before I may have to leave the dwarf village." ”

"Huh?" Archie opened her mouth in surprise.

After looking at Zero for a moment, he said to him in disappointment, "Brother Zero, are you leaving?"

Zero looked at Archie's depressed appearance, sighed and said, "I can't stay here forever, I don't belong here, you dwarves live and work here in peace, and you shouldn't be disturbed by outsiders......"

"What's the bother?" Archie began, "We all like you very much, Brother Zero!, Ilemon, Kunu, Duno, Lula, Zea...... Everybody's very fond of you! Why don't you go? We're going to learn enchantment together!"

"I feel like I've learned a lot about enchantment, and I'm satisfied. Zero replied.

"But, ......but," Archie said anxiously, "I still want to ask my father to make you a weapon, will you stay......?"

"Okay, Archie ......" Zero looked at Archie with red eyes and reassured, "I'm not going to leave soon, I'm going to stay here for a while, look at you, how can a man shed tears so easily?"

"Besides, I still have to find out what Tammon is trying to ......," Zero said in his heart.

Archie rubbed her eyes and lowered her head. At this moment, Kuse stepped up the stairs, he looked at Zero and Archie sitting at the end of the table, and asked with a straight face: "What are you making trouble? Do you want to chat with each other during the study? If you don't want to study, go home, don't disturb the quiet in the Fengjian Hall." ”

Zero pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, glanced at Couse, and lowered his head to look at the book in front of him. Kusse walked to the table, looked at Archie, who lowered his head and made no sound, and asked, "Archie, I asked you to complete two hundred enchantment exercises, have you completed it?"

"Nope. Archie didn't look at Couse, and replied in a low voice.

"And how many have you done?" Kusse asked sharply.

"One hundred and sixty-seven. Archie replied truthfully.

"That's so much?" Kusse's brow furrowed tightly, "Zero learned enchantment later than you, but he had already completed his practice half an hour ago, and you still have so much to finish, what have you been thinking about all day?!"

"I ...... I ......" Archie blushed and looked up at Couse, "I'm not as smart as Brother Zero! Didn't you say Brother Zero was more talented than me......?

"Shut up!" Kusse glared at Archie with a sullen face and shouted, "It's not big or small, who taught you to defy your elders like this? Zero He does have some foundation, but you learned enchantment three years earlier than him, and if you can't do it as well as him, it's because you're lazy! When I'm watching you next to you, why are you on par with Zero? You just don't realize it, no one looks at you!"

Archie gasped for air with an aggrieved expression, and lowered her head, tears rolling in her eyes. Kusse looked at Archie and continued: "Punish you for practicing thirty more, and you won't be allowed to go home for dinner if you can't finish practicing!"

After Kusse finished speaking, he turned his eyes to look at Zero, who was peeking, Zero shrank his head, smiled awkwardly and pointed to the ancient book in his hand and said, "I read books, read books...... Hey hey ......"

Kusse glanced Zero up and down, didn't say much, and turned to the side. Zero breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes to look at Archie, who was sullenly practicing enchantment, and didn't say anything more and buried his head in the book.

In the middle of the night, Iwatai's snoring echoed through the dark house. Lying on the bed, Zero opened his eyes and glanced at Archie, who was sleeping on the other bed beside him, and he quietly stepped out of bed and put on his clothes. Just as he was changing his shoes and preparing to leave the room, suddenly Archie's voice came from behind him.

"Brother Zero......" Archie sat on the bed and looked at Zero who turned around, "You're going out again?"

In the darkness, Zero couldn't see the expression on Archie's face, he listened to Archie's words, walked to the side of the bed and whispered to Archie, "Do you know I went out at night?"

"All I know is that you went out once a night ago and came back a long time later. Archie looked at Zero and whispered.

Zero didn't speak, Archie got out of bed and sat on the edge of the bed and asked Zero, "Brother Zero, are you ...... What the hell are you doing out there?"

Zero looked at Archie's innocent expression through the moonlight outside the window, and then he sighed, bent down and touched Archie's head and said to him, "Then I'll tell you, don't tell anyone else for the time being." ”

"Good. Archie firmly agreed.

Zero glanced out the window, and after making sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and leaned into Archie's ear and said to him, "I noticed that there was something wrong with Tammon. ”

"Question? Archie asked in a whisper as she looked at Zero's face.

"I don't know, but it must have something to do with the Alchemy Matrix," Zero listened to the snoring of Yantai next door and talked to Archie, "One night I was in a daze, and I noticed someone hanging out of the window, I woke up and followed, and found that the person was Tanmeng. He took advantage of the darkness to leave the village, walked to the edge of the alchemy matrix, and made a move on it. ”

"What?!" Archie watched in disbelief as Zero raised his voice, and Zero One hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.

After waiting for a while, hearing Iwatae's snoring still echoing, Zero breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the hand covering Archie's mouth.

Archie gasped a few times, looked at Zero and asked in a low voice, "Then why don't you tell the elder or the patriarch?"

"No, you can't startle the snake," Zero replied, shaking his head, "Before I find out what he wants to do, I'll expose him directly, what if he denies that he did it himself? And I'm still an outsider, so it's too uncredible for me to denounce him...... If he really has bad intentions, then he should be completely pulled out of this tumor, and he should not be allowed to continue to lurk in the village with danger. ”

"No......" Archie questioned, "Tammon...... Even if it's a little annoying, it's not ...... He's a bad guy......"

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, of course it's better if he's not a bad person, but what if he really has bad intentions?" Zero said as he looked at Archie with a frank face.

"And what do you want to do now?" Archie asked, looking at Zero.

"Remember when I asked you to borrow an ancient book about enchantment from my study some time ago?" Zero whispered to Archie.

"Remember," Archie nodded, "didn't you say you wanted to learn more about the ancient magic of the dwarves?"

"That's only part of the reason, I actually want to find out what is related to the alchemy matrix from those ancient books, and I want to try to understand the structure of the alchemy matrix, so as to figure out what Tan Meng did with the matrix. Zero explained to Archie.

"Did you figure it out?" Archie asked.

Zero replied: "I figured it out, I went to the thirteen array eyes at the edge of the matrix alone to observe, and at first I found that the hub composition of the nine alchemy matrices was different from the other four, and then I went to look at them one by one, and found that two more were modified, and then three days ago, I followed Tan Meng, and he modified the twelfth array eye." ”

"Tammonta...... The array that has been revising the alchemy matrix?!" Archie was extremely shocked after listening to Zero's words, he tried his best to restrain the surprise in his heart, lowered his voice and stared at Zero.

"Yes," replied Zero in the affirmative, nodding his head, "and there's a good chance he'll be going to revise the last one tonight." ”

"How do you know?" Archie asked.

"I don't know, but I've been putting on my clothes and waiting for Tammon for the rest of the night, and he's going to look at your door for a while every time he goes out of the village. Zero said as he sat on the floor leaning against the edge of the bed, feeling a little tired from squatting on the ground and talking all the time.

"Why?" Archie was puzzled.

Zero spread out his hand, pursed his lips and said, "Maybe...... I'm afraid that something will happen to me, an outsider. ”

After listening to Zero's words, Archie pondered for a while, and then he frowned and looked at Zero's face and whispered: "Then according to what you say, Tanmeng is too scheming, he can even modify the alchemy matrix, so when he usually gets along with us, that clumsy appearance is pretended?"

"Who knows?" said Zero as he sat on the ground and shrugged.

"Then what does he want to do when he modifies the alchemy matrix?" Archie suddenly thought of something after asking, and he looked at Zero with wide eyes, "He won't ...... Do you want to unravel the alchemy matrix and let those goblins outside?!"

"Quite possibly," Zero said in a serious and serious tone as he looked at Archie's face, "Remember some time ago when we were all egged on by him and ran out of the matrix and were attacked by goblins?"

"Of course," Archie replied, nodding, "do you mean that he was in collusion with the goblins to kidnap us? but what is his reason for doing so? he's a dwarf, and goblins are the dwarves' worst enemies, and ...... How does he communicate with goblins? Goblins can't understand human speech at all. ”

"There are many ways to communicate, and you don't have to talk to communicate......" Zero said as he looked at the innocent Archie, "The most important thing now is to figure out what Tanmeng wants to do? ”

Archie asked helplessly, "Then what should we do?" Why don't we tell Dad first......

"Shhhhhh

Archie watched as Zero One climbed into bed, and he quickly lay down on his bed, and asked while covering the quilt, "Is it Tanmeng?"

"Yes, pretend to be asleep, don't talk, don't move. Zero closed his eyes and lay motionless on the bed.

Archie immediately closed her eyes, not daring to make any more noise.

Tammon stood outside the window and looked in for a moment, and after a moment, he looked left and right for a moment, and then took a step towards the outside of the village.

Zero rolled over and got out of bed, and said to Archie on the side, "Hurry up and put on your clothes." ”

Hearing this, Aki immediately got out of bed and got dressed.
