Aiz followed me into the Chamber of Secrets, a small secret room built between the Lord's office and the room next door, and I am afraid that if you look at it from the corridor outside, you would not have thought of such a room. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although the room is not large, the four walls are full of bookshelves, dense magic books are stacked on the shelves, and many books are scattered on the floor and in the corners of the room.

The room had no windows, but the corners were fitted with pyroxene-like stones that silently glowed and gave the cottage a dim glow.

"Master Wizard Book, here...... What is it? Ahem......"

Aiss looked up at the zenith, but as soon as he stepped into the room, he stepped on the books on the floor, and immediately kicked up a room of dust.

He covered his mouth and nose and continued walking, but there were so many books in the room that they were all over the floor, and Ais took two cautious steps, only to accidentally step on the book jacket and slip to the ground with a thud.

Ais sat on the ground in a daze, and hurriedly scratched his head in pain: "It hurts, it hurts, what did I step on?"

Aiss held his hands on the ground, not knowing what button he had pressed hidden under the stacks of books.

I could only hear the boom and boom the gears snapped, and the door that was originally wide open slowly closed, and the door closed and probably the bookshelves outside were restored to their original positions.

"W-What should I do!

"Don't be afraid, it's just a switch. ”

I reassured Ais, after all, this is a secret room for books, and in terms of functionality, it shouldn't be able to make some switches that you can't get out of when you get in.

"There's a lot of dust here, and it looks like it's been a long time since it's been used.

In the dim glow of pyroxene, I began to scan through the stacks of books.

"By the way, does that lord know magic?" I asked.

"Magic? Aith shook his head, "It's just that I heard that the castle lord used to be an adventurer in the past, so I don't know if he can do magic." ”

In this way, there is also the possibility that the castle lord is a magician, and there are so many books in storage, and judging from the text on the cover, it is all magical-related things.

Speaking of which, can I learn magic by reading books?

If I can learn magic by reading books, these books might be of some value to me.

[Unable to learn in a human way.] 】

That's right, after all, I'm a magic guide, and I don't have a body like a human being, just like practicing martial arts in martial arts novels to let the inside go through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, since I don't have a human body, I naturally can't use magic in the way of ordinary people.

However, thanks to the help of Lord Divine Knowledge, I only need to mentally pronounce the name of the magic I want to use, which is much more powerful than ordinary people.

In that case, there is no need for me to abandon my roots.

Originally, I wanted to bring some books back to study, but now it seems that I have forgotten it.

"Ais, you flip through the books on the ground, there should be a mechanism to open the door underneath. ”

After the order was given, I began to look into the more remote corners, and what I wanted to make was a booklet that was similar to my current form.

After a careful search, I finally found a booklet that looked like a handwritten note in the corner of the room, the paper was yellowed, and there were drawings on it that I had never seen before, and the text was the same, and I couldn't understand what it was even if I used the translation ability.

It just so happens that I can't even read such a book, and I guess other people can't read it, which is exactly what I want.

"Storage...... No, forget it. ”

I wanted to use the storage function to put the booklet in the warehouse, but when I thought of the possibility of being accidentally injured by little Arifia, I sure sure enough, I put it in Ais's pocket.

"Ais, have you found the mechanism?" I returned to Ais with the booklet, only to see Ais standing there dumbfounded.

He pointed to the ground and said, "Lord Magic Book...... This one...... This thing ......"

I looked down the ground that Ais was pointing to, and there seemed to be some pattern there.

Ais tried to sweep away the books on the ground in order to find the switch hidden under the books, but he didn't expect that the ground blocked by the books hid the shapes, he continued to sweep the books around him, and a formation covering the floor of the entire room appeared.

- That's right, it's a magic circle, a black unnamed magic circle, complex graphics intertwined, and a wide eye is outlined in the center of the circle.

Wait, I think I've seen this graphic somewhere.

I quickly took out the booklet that was going to put in Ais's pocket, and sure enough, it contained the pattern of the eye.

"It's scary. Aiss crossed his arms around his body, and for some reason, his hair stood on end at the sight of the figure.

It's really a little strange, whether it's this room, or the formation on the ground.

"If you're scared, let's get out of here, have you found the mechanism?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Aiz pointed behind him. There was a handle protruding from the ground near where he fell, and he probably accidentally touched it when he fell.

"Let's open them first. ”

I flew back into Ais's coat pocket, ready to leave with him.

Aith walked over to the hub that opened the door, bent down and before his hand touched the mechanism, a small "click" sound came through the wall.

"Don't move ......"

I whispered warily to Ais.

Aiz heard the voice too, and if she heard it right, it was the sound of the office door being opened.

"Somebody came into the office. ”

When I told Ays about that, the little boy was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth.

With the sound of the door opening, multiple footsteps stepped into the office.

"So, what is it about me that is in such a hurry?"

The voice of a middle-aged man, that voice with a tired, troubled sound.

"It's Lord Castle......" Ais whispered to me.

"Kador, do you know what the situation is in the city right now? Those demonic beasts are appearing everywhere, and the scope of the disaster is getting bigger and bigger, if you continue, this border city will not be safe!"

It was another male who questioned the lord of the city, and Ais seemed to hear the owner of the voice, and he said to me with a grim face and trembling, "Yes...... It was Lord Luke, the general who guarded the camp. ”

It seems that Iys had heard the name of this person somewhere, and if I remember correctly, it should have been the man who followed Leo when he killed the Great Snake.

"Calm down, Luke. ”

"Calm down, how can you let me calm down, you didn't let me say it on the road just now, can't you let me say it now?"

"There were servants nearby, and it was not good for them to hear these words. ”

"Are you leisurely, what about the reinforcements? The guards were so busy that after holding out for so many days, everyone was already exhausted. ”

"Did we hear something we shouldn't have heard......" Ais turned his gaze to me, after all, he was really startled by the words that Border City was not in danger.

"Shhhh ”

I soothed Ais and flew to the secret door, trying to hear more of the conversation.
