The rising sun shines on the sea, and the city of knowledge ushers in a new day.

Old Man Wolf left the house and walked towards the office building under Diana's watchful eye.

The old man's illness of "dying if you don't drive more than 50 meters" has become more and more serious in recent years, and at the same time, he has become more and more lazy, and he can sit all day without standing, and he will never sit when he can lie down.

At first, Diana thought that her grandfather was sick, but the popes came to the island a while ago, so she invited Queen Victoria to check on her grandfather under the sign of Charles.

After some examination, Her Majesty came to the conclusion - pure laziness.

So Diana recently began to urge the old man to be more active every day, otherwise it will be easy to gain weight, and then "three highs" or something.

In the morning, the air in the academy is very fresh, and the grandfather and grandson will take a big walk around the academy for morning exercises, ending at the principal's office.

Today, Diana still wears her normal student robes, with a strand of hair on each side of her head fastened with a hairpin the size of a matchbox.

On the way, Diana, who was chatting, asked, "Grandpa, do you know the method of using the magic element for yourself?"

Old man Wolf said, "You know, do you want to learn?"

After he finished speaking, he just waved his hand, and Diana found that there was a very mysterious change in the magical elements within a meter around him, he could sense it, but he couldn't control it.

"Hmm!" Diana nodded obediently.

Like Charles, she had known about adding a mental imprint to magical elements for a long time, but she was also not strong enough to learn this technique before.

Recently, she has been reckless twice.

First of all, she got inspiration from Charles from the broken godhead, and a while ago she tried to devour the divine power and godhead of the pink brain flower demon god.

As a result, she almost got away with it, but fortunately, Reimu saved the scene in time, which allowed her to get her wish and obtain part of the godhead of the demon god.

She then devoured the magic of the Black Whale, and then used it to strengthen herself.

If this time Charles relied on burning his soul to completely fuse the broken godhead, which was regarded as "stir-frying" it with his own soul, then Diana relied on magic and divine power to "exercise" in her body during this time to slowly digest and absorb part of the godhead she obtained, which can be regarded as "simmering slowly".

There is no superiority or disadvantage between the two methods, only the appropriateness and disadvantage.

Now that she felt that her strength was steadily increasing, learning the technique of stamping magical elements was on her agenda.

Wolf touched the back of his granddaughter's head dotingly, glanced behind him through the reflection of the ruby on the hairpin pinned to her hair, and then entered storytelling mode.

He said, "Do you know who discovered the 'Elemental Imprint'?"

Diana shook her head, she really didn't know about this.

The old man continued: "In the ancient period, when the gods were not revealed, there was a magician with outstanding talent on the continent. ”

"At the age of ten, the magician became famous for inventing composite magic suitable for human use, and even dragons came to her for advice. ”

"It's just that after more than ten years, this genius magician suddenly went into seclusion, and the world couldn't find her. ”

Another hundred years later, when her story was no longer told, and the world had almost forgotten her, she returned. ”

Only at this time, she was no longer the genius magician she used to be, but had transformed herself into a demon. ”

"What happened later...... Alas...... As soon as she appeared, she destroyed the royal capital of a country, and no one survived. ”

"The righteous go against her, and the wicked worship her power and worship her under her command. ”

"The war between the two sides lasted for decades, during which the righteous discovered that the powerful enemy would use the 'Elemental Brand', and suffered heavy casualties for a while. ”

In the end, several powerful magicians sealed her in the Book of Evil at the cost of their own lives. ”

"Later, her henchmen were surrounded and suppressed, and it was at this time that the technology of 'elemental branding' spread. ”

Diana listened to the historical story with great interest, and after her grandfather had finished speaking, she asked, "After all this time, she must have disappeared with that book." ”

"No, I don't. "I'm still ...... Ahem...... It's nothing. ”

It's okay not to say something, but he said it halfway, which greatly aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Grandpa~~" Diana began to be coquettish, if she spoke to Charles in such a tone, it would not be strange for Charles to listen to her and obediently put on a maid outfit.

The old man looked around nervously, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping around had been discovered by himself, he said to his granddaughter in a polar voice: "Don't go to the library of Shield Bridge Academy, and don't go to the passage at the bottom of the stairs on the east side, there is a door at the end of that passageway, don't—remember—don't throw a big fireball into it as soon as you open the door, remember?"

Diana nodded solemnly, "I remember." ”

The grandfather and grandson walked for a while, and there were many stone carvings on both sides of this road, all of which were rare boutiques.

As a comprehensive college, Wisteria College has many art students, all of whom are the works of outstanding students, and the author's name is carved on the pedestal below the lifelike figures and animal statues.

Old Man Wolf said to his granddaughter: "The principle of the skill 'Elemental Imprint' is very simple, but it is easier said than done, strength, hard work and talent are indispensable. ”

"You don't lack all three, and I'm sure you can do it. ”

Then he pointed to the sculptures on the side of the road and said, "The essence of the elements is the same, just like this statues are originally stones, and after processing, they take on different shapes. ”

"'Elemental branding' is like carving your name on a statue and making it yours. ”

"But if you engrave the name on the nose and ears of the statue, then the statue is finished, so the most important thing is to find a place to engrave the name. ”

Diana thought thoughtfully after hearing this, and the old man stopped talking when he saw it, so as not to disturb her train of thought.

Soon after, the two of them were at a fork in the road, and the old man planned to take a shortcut to end his morning exercise early, but his granddaughter pulled his sleeve and walked back to the scheduled route.

The area of Wisteria Academy is not small, and the old man walked around a long way and came to his office with a slight sweat on his forehead.

When Diana came over from the pantry with a hot towel, she found that the old man had closed the thick curtains and was placing a book on the table.

The book is thick, the pages are worn out from the side, and the cover is wrapped in a fairly new sheepskin, which can be seen to have been properly preserved.

The old man said to Diana, "Open the book." ”

Curious, Diana opened the cover, but the book suddenly floated on its own, and the pages clattered, and soon a black figure that looked like a human figure came out of it, and at the same time, the pages turned into chains to tie the figure and fix it on the cover.

The old man said casually: "This is the Book of Sealing Evil Spirits, you can ask her about the elemental brand." ”

Diana looked at the Book of Sealed Evil and the sealed person in a daze, and then looked at the old man, and didn't react for a while.
