Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 34 Notes
"I promised to help you take care of the Shinchikai, but before that, I have one condition. Holding his hands, Roger said in a deep voice, "I want to take a look at the notes left by your teacher, the ones from which you deduced the secret method. ”
Lilith smiled and nodded, "This is not a problem, in fact, we really know that the teacher's notes are available for everyone to consult at will, Elsa?"
A soft call echoed softly in Roger's ears, a voice with a magic that belonged to Lilith, and it passed through the thick walls of the living room, down the tiny crevices between the structures of the Fata Tower, to a small room where the tower was torn. The dark room was beneath the ground, and the rubble and sand poured into the room through the narrow windows, almost filling the room, and a vivid blue ball of light danced between the stones, like a blue lightning bolt, tireless.
After a long distance, Lilith's call was transmitted here, and it had become an imperceptible sound for ordinary people, but the blue light stopped its boring 'walk' and revealed its true form, which seemed to be a cluster of stars, countless points of light flickered in the pale blue light, and a lightning-like tail dangled behind it. Aisha made a 'gurgling' sound, and then turned into a blue lightning bolt again, hitting the solid wall of the roof straight and passing through it without hindrance.
"Huh"
Roger, who was bored and waiting, had not yet come to his senses, something suddenly appeared on the floor under his feet, and with Roger's dynamic vision, he could only barely see a blue tail flying over, and when Roger rubbed his eyes and looked at the past, a blue light cluster named Elsa was already jumping wantonly in Lilith's arms.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. With a little playful Elsa, Lilith picked up the little ball of light, "Go and get your mother's book." ”
"Gollum" seemed to be the only sound that Elsa could make, only to see it spin in Lilith's hand, and after a few jumps, it disappeared from the ceiling, leaving Roger and Elway looking at each other.
"Arcane Servant, it's still a rare little form. Staring at the ceiling, Roger said faintly, "I didn't expect that there were still such Arcane Servants in your True Knowledge, maybe I should revisit you....... It's also left by your teacher?"
Helping Ryan to the couch, Lilith leaned on the edge of the couch, stroked his somewhat messy hair, and replied softly, "Elsa is an arcane servant accidentally created by Teacher Yvette during her apprenticeship, and she has always accompanied the teacher. It was very sad that the teacher's loss had been so sad that it had been burying itself in a compartment at the bottom of the tower for those days, and it took me a lot of effort to get Elsa back on her feet. ”
"It's as if I was born to take care of them. Gently twisting Rahne's ears, Lilith said this, but her face softened, "Not only Ryan and Elsa, but also everyone who really knows, sometimes I wonder if we could live in the era of peace that the teacher said." ”
Elway and Roger glanced at each other, not knowing how to comfort Lilith for a moment, and the scene fell silent for a moment, except for Ryan's even breathing.
A distinctly bright cry rang out from outside the hallway, and Elsa's little tail flew in with a small package, which she threw in front of Roger with a snap, and then threw herself into Lilith's arms, and the little tail wrapped around her arm, bouncing and sprang coquettishly.
While teasing Elsa, Lilith smiled and said to Roger, "The notes left by the teacher are here, they should be able to answer some of your doubts, after all, we don't know the meaning of some of the nouns that the teacher said." ”
Leaning over to open the somewhat old package on the floor, Roger and Elway crouched down to examine the notes, which contained stacks of brown parchment, a specially treated parchment paper that allowed information to be stored longer and less indestructible, a popular way for mages to write.
The parchments looked like they were often flipped, and they were all worn to varying degrees, but three in particular were the most broken, and Roger decided to look at them first.
"AE 1544, the fifteenth day of the month of Futaba. Since noon, the five Grand Magicians, including Mentor Fina, have held a closed-door meeting at the Federation headquarters in White Stone Castle, and there has been no news until now. The crazy rumors outside have intensified, to the point where the federation has to come forward to maintain order.
Judging from the communications sent by the chapters in various places, not only the rest of the country, but even the mages in the west of the continent will inevitably riot, after all, the constellation of the witch queen that should have risen in the night sky is still missing, which is simply incredible! In addition, today I unexpectedly discovered that the concentration of magic elements in the air is slowly decreasing, which is not a good sign, maybe I should tell the news to Mentor Fina. ”
The tattered parchment depicts delicate notes that look like a diary. "The constellation of the Witch Queen, which symbolizes Sylya's gaze, disappears in the night sky?" Roger muttered, frowning, and continued looking.
“..... The third day of the Dream Month, the day the magazine "Arcane" was released. I have to say that the quality of the articles in the 'Arcane' has declined very badly in recent years, and the lighthouse that once guided the path of mages is now in its waning, and the magazine has not produced a new magical theory for nearly two years, as if everyone is repeating the previous experiments, although I am also the same (laughs).
Speaking of which, it seems that this phenomenon started from that Futaba Moon two years ago, is there any relationship between the two? No, no, it is just an astrological occlusion, and besides, the Witch Queen Constellation does appear in the night sky as those astrologers say, I must have stayed up too long, maybe I should go and make a cup of coffee to sober up......."
"What are the great magicians thinking? How can they just publish such news? They must be crazy, no, I must ask Teacher Fina, there must be something wrong here, how can magic have no future!"
After reading these three relatively old parchments, Roger's brows tightened, except that the content on the third one was clear to Roger himself, as for the content on the other two sheets, it was really intriguing, "Even if the situation of the Sanctuary blockade is made public, there will not be such a big chain reaction, there must be some other event that forces the mages to establish a shelter in the magically barren necromantic underworld." ”
After a moment's hesitation, Roger picked up the next piece of parchment, which was already recorded after Yvette came to the underworld.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's 1703 AE, my fiftieth year in this magical desert, and forgive me for giving me only an approximate number, but the first period of time was too much of a mess. You must know that even with the foundation of the original camp, it is not easy to build a shelter, after all, the hastily prepared materials are not enough to maintain the construction here, but we are proud to have overcome all difficulties and finally succeeded in building the last fortress of the Age of Magic.
Thankfully, among the descendants of this group of mage apprentices, we were pleasantly surprised to find a few good seedlings, and perhaps they are the future of magic. The goddess Hila is above, hoping that the light of magic will never be extinguished. ”
