Chapter 51: The Goblin
If Al had seen a new book before, as long as he could understand the words inside, he would have taken it down immediately and began to read it with relish, entering the world described in the book.
But now that there are so many books in front of him, Al doesn't know which one to choose.
This should probably not come as a surprise, as it is said that there is a feeling that people have no choice when they are faced with many choices, and Al may have a problem with this.
Unconsciously, the height of the surrounding bookshelves has reached the terrifying height of several floors, if it is an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible to see the titles of the books on the spine of the top row of books on the top floor of the bookshelves, not only is it too far apart, but even the light of the magic candlestick in his hand has become quite faint when it is transmitted to it.
Al suddenly stopped.
It was silent, and there was no sound at all.
Al glanced behind him, no longer seeing the slightest light coming from his path, and the bookshelves finally formed a vertical line in a way that conformed to the principle of perspective.
Apparently, Al had gone quite deep into the library.
"No one seems to ......"
Al whispered to himself, for some reason, he felt as if something was following him.
Turning his head again, Al continued into the depths of the library.
With the sound of lonely footsteps, Al walked about a hundred meters before he stopped again, realizing the problem:
I don't know when he never looked at a patrolling mechanical golem again.
The function of the mechanical golem is to disturb those who dare to sleep inside the library, and to bring out those who have lost their way from the depths of the library.
But Al has been gone for so long and hasn't even seen a mechanical golem, which has to be said, it's a rather strange thing.
Perhaps, this is the precursor to the legend that will disappear into the library?
Thinking of this, Al couldn't help but feel the slightest fear, but a faint hint of excitement.
He turned around, ready to continue walking deeper into the library.
But at this time, something terrible happened.
On the bookshelf in front of Al, the books that had been lined up suddenly flew out one by one, as if an invisible hand had pushed them off the shelves behind them.
Brush brush brush brush.
One book after another falls continuously, creating a waterfall-like effect.
If something strange and incomprehensible suddenly happens in this dark forest of books, I am afraid that ordinary people will choose to turn around and run, and even ordinary mages will probably be shocked by this sudden change.
Al didn't flinch, but instead approached the bookshelf with the magic candlestick in his hand.
Wait, it looks like there's something!
Al noticed that something seemed to flicker in the corner of the bookshelf, and when she toppled the entire row of books, she seemed to fly to the next shelf.
What is that?
The bookshelves above began to drop books downwards again.
Before more books could fall, Al grabbed a few of them and pumped them out!
"Whew!"
Scream.
This scream certainly wasn't from Al.
It was from the little guy behind the bookshelf.
It was a little girl, the kind that was a hundred times smaller.
Behind the little girl's head are two long sea-blue hairs tied into a ponytail, rose-red eyes like rose red wine, an incredibly delicate nose and small mouth, a long white dress that looks like dancing in the water of unknown materials, and a pair of slender white legs and small and cute bare feet under the flying skirt corners.
The most peculiar thing is that the girl has a pair of wings on her back.
It wasn't the feathered wings of a bird, or the wings of an insect as thin as a cicada, but two shallow, frozen rays of light that floated behind the girl.
Al used to think that his mother and Angel Amber were the most beautiful women in the world (and later added a ghost sister), but now he understands that there may really be no absolute top beauty, but after the beauty is extreme, it is a different expression.
For example, the beauty of the mother is the kind of holy beauty, Anqi'er Amber is the lovely and pure beauty, the ghost sister is the quiet beauty, and the miniature version of the girl in front of her is the exquisite and delicate beauty.
It's hard to imagine that there is a more delicate person in this world than the little girl in front of her, every inch of her body is like the painstaking carving of the gods, and she can't add or subtract a single bit, otherwise it will destroy that exquisite perfection to the extreme.
At this moment, when the little girl saw El's hood shrouded in darkness suddenly appear in front of her, she was so frightened that she stood there and did not dare to move.
"You're a goblin?"
It was Al who reacted first.
Fairies, also known as little fairies, are one of the most magical and wonderful creatures in the Eternal Continent.
They can only be seen in places with mysterious powers, or in places where some elemental power is stronger, and they are all female, making it difficult to understand how they reproduce, or how they are born is not through sexual reproduction at all.
Some say they are messengers of the gods, others say they are close relatives of the primordial elves, but no one can be sure of their origins.
These goblins don't deal with adults at all, but I've heard that children of four or five years old can be friends with them, but as long as they grow a little older, they can't get close to them anymore like ordinary people.
Human scholars speculate that these goblins possess some kind of magical ability to discern people's hearts, so only innocent children can get their affection.
For magicians who want to study the mysteries of the whole world, this magical creature naturally arouses their great interest, there have been many magicians who have tried to capture this little goblin, if there is a real **, it will certainly have a great effect on understanding this kind of magical creature.
Unfortunately, no magician ever succeeded.
No matter how intelligent a mage is, no matter how powerful a mage is, he is completely helpless against such seemingly insignificant little creatures. It's not that these little goblins are so powerful that they are difficult to catch, it's just that these little ones seem to have an extraordinary sense and judgment, and those great magicians can't lure these little goblins to show up even if they go out with the children who are friends with the legendary goblins. Moreover, the magic traps laid in the places where the legends often haunt the goblins never catch nothing, and often the biggest gain is just one or a few innocent insects.
If it weren't for the occasional sightings of leprechauns around the world, and the many legends about leprechauns accumulated from ancient times to the present day, magicians might wonder if there is no such thing as a creature in this world.
It can only be thought that the little goblin may really have some kind of extraordinary ability to avoid good fortune and unpredictable prophets, similar to divination and prophecy.
So there have always been rumors that as long as you can see the goblin will bring good luck, if you can say a few words to the goblin, you should immediately go to play ** or bet, as for those who can be friends with the goblin when they are young, extraordinary good luck will accompany them for a lifetime.
