Chapter 5: Miss Arlo
Today is probably one of the few exhilarating moments in Rovi's life. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Inside the open door is the library of the Clock Tower, where the shelves of various bookcases are lined with books of different sizes, and small labels divide each bookcase into various categories, from the introduction to magic to practical applications to history and even novels that have been changed according to history. The library of the Clock Tower is arguably the largest treasure trove of books in all of London.
As soon as he arrived this morning, Tarovi was summoned by Lecturer Ermero, who thought that Lecturer Ermelo had persuaded the parents of the Ermelo family in one night, but the answer was negative, and most of the parents still disagreed with the matter of whether to let Rowe assist the Ermelo family in the Holy Grail War.
However, as the great magician of the Ermelo family, Ermelo II still has certain permissions, he allows Rowe to enter the library of the Clock Tower to learn, and requires him to learn combat magic as much as possible, because only with a certain combat power can it be easier for parents to recognize Rovi.
Generally speaking, only those who have obtained the title of magician are allowed to enter the library, and ordinary students are not allowed, but with the permission of Lecturer Ermeiro, Rowe finally got rid of the books that he had rummaged through countless times on his old bookcase, and could read more and learn about magic.
Although Rowe is still a little strange about the attitude of Lecturer Ermeiro, it seems that he has changed overnight, and he takes care of himself in all aspects, which makes him unable to understand, he has not won the title of magician for four years, why is he so favored by the famous lecturer of the Clock Tower?
But when he faced the sea of books, these problems were left behind him, and such an opportunity could be said to be what he dreamed of.
When you enter the library, you will find a large number of desks, neatly arranged in squares, each with a partition in the middle to separate the two sides, so that the magicians can read without being affected by others. There is a chandelier hanging overhead, and it is very bright. It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and half of the desks in the library were already occupied.
Most people have a thick notebook in their hand, which is densely packed with words, and while reading a book, they combine what they have recorded in the past and think about all kinds of questions, which is the most common situation in the library.
Luo Wei used to do the same, but in his dimly lit cabin, relying on history books and some theoretical books, he wrote a few papers as his graduation assessment. Academic papers are also one of the criteria for obtaining the title of magician, as long as its theory is rigorous and reasonable, then it is likely to be recognized by the clock tower, and as a theoretical magician, you can obtain the title of magician and can engage in magic theory research.
This was Rowe's goal, but there was only one way for him to get the title of magician, but the result was that he didn't succeed for four years, which made him wonder if he was too stupid.
And what gave him confidence was the lecturer Ermeiro, who probably said, "You're not stupid. It was just a casual remark, but it gave Rowe confidence, and today Lecturer Ermelo gave him the opportunity to enter the library, which made him understand where the opportunity lies, and he must seize this opportunity.
The goal is combat magic, but there are no books in the library that teach that kind of thing directly, only theoretical books, and you have to read and understand those theories and then perform them in your own way.
Luo Wei looked at the labels on the bookcase, looking for books, and when he saw the "Basic Theory of Magic" column, he decided in the direction he wanted to study.
In any case, the foundation is a must.
There are more than a dozen heavy books on the shelves, and the books that are the basic theory of magic seem to be much thicker than the others, which should also be the truth that every magician knows well, and the foundation is the beginning of everything.
Taking out a copy of "Magic Circuits and Magic", Luo Wei found a nearby desk and sat down, and began to study it carefully.
The magic circuit is something he has never heard of, but according to the book, the magic circuit is the basis for the magician to use magic, and if he doesn't even have a magic circuit, he can't use magic.
It's no wonder that Luo Wei has tried some life-style magic tricks before but couldn't succeed, and he never seems to have felt the existence of any magic circuits in his own body.
The magic circuit can be said to be the channel through which magic flows through the human body, figuratively speaking, it is like the electric current wires in a generator, which penetrates the magic power through every part of the human body and preserves the magic power in the human body.
Rowe followed the book's instructions and tried to find the magic circuit in his body, but it turned out that he didn't seem to have such a thing in his body.
Until Rowe read this.
"The magic circuit is probably a God-given benefit, only those who have a magic circuit can become magicians, and those who do not have a magic circuit become ordinary people. ”
Just kidding, right?
Luo Wei now felt like a basin of ice water had been poured on a fierce flame, and his whole person fell into a state of loss.
In this way, wouldn't he be able to use magic at all? He was in a magic family, but he was just an ordinary person's physique?
The unbelieving Lowe began to read the book quickly, but the whole book did not give him the answers he wanted.
Magic circuits don't seem to be created after birth.
The only thing that is seen is that "magic circuits are things that are determined by birth and do not increase due to external factors." ”
"Magic is divided into large sources that are born from the world and small sources that arise from themselves, and such energy is obviously not something that humans can create. ”
The more he read, the more desperate he became, until Rowe's mood sank to the bottom, he closed the book and leaned back in his chair in disappointment.
Probably my life as a magician is over, there is no magic circuit, what magic is there to talk about?
I don't know what will happen if this matter lets Lecturer Ermelo know, and Rowe seems to be able to think of that disappointed look.
No, there should be some other way!
How could it be possible to stop at this step.
Luo Wei wants to lift his spirits, the world of magic is full of wonders, there must be a way.
"Well, are you Rowe Hidley?"
The sudden inquiry brought Luo Wei back from the world of thought to reality.
Looking at the girl sitting next to her, she was about four or five years older than herself, her long golden hair fell over her shoulders and on the desk, her face was very white and tender, and she was wearing a red dress, and she knew which aristocratic lady it was at a glance.
"Who are you?" Rowe didn't remember seeing this man, and he didn't know how he knew his name.
"Are you Rowe Hidley?" asked again, as if the girl wanted to confirm Rowe's identity before continuing the conversation.
"I'm Lowe Hidley, what's the matter with me?"
However, the next topic made Luo Wei dare not talk more.
"I am the second daughter of the Ermelo family, Arlo Ermero. ”
Finished.
That was the only thought in Rowe's mind, and if it weren't for the library, a place that needed to be quiet, he would have shouted it out long ago.
Arlo Ermello, if he has anything to do with Rowe, is one of the women that Uncle Rowe once harassed, and the biggest reason for the Ermelo family's hatred of the Sidley family.
But why did she come to me at this point in time, could it be that the head of the Ermelo family asked her to tell her to get out of here?
"Ermelo II told me you were in the library, so I came to you. ”
What did Lecturer Ermelo say?
And when Miss Arlo took out the four familiar letters from her handbag, Rowe understood what the reason was.
Those four letters were sent by Uncle Luo Wei over the past four years, and they were all for Luo Wei to give to Miss Arlo. But the letters, which should have been stored in their own bookcase drawer, were in Miss Arlo's hands.
Unless......
Rowe had already thought of that possibility, although it was not impossible, but it was too nonsense, right? Could it be that he would be kicked out of London by the Ermeiro family because of this kind of thing?
All Luo Wei could think of was that when X stayed at home and was bored, he rummaged through the cabinets, saw four written letters, and thought that he would share the burden for the master, so he went directly to the post office and sent them out.
Probably there is no second possibility except in this case.
But if the Ermelo family knew about it, and the thugs who had been driven away four years ago had entrusted his nephew to send a letter to Miss Arlo, it would undoubtedly have caused the Ermelo family to point the finger at them.
Four years ago they had driven out Rowe's uncle, and four years later, it might be Rowe's turn to be kicked out of London.
"I'm sorry, Miss Arlo, I didn't mean to send these things to you, it was all an accident, and I'll take it at once if I don't mind. With that, Luo Wei panicked and snatched the letter from Miss Arlo's hand.
However, as soon as Miss Arlo took it away, she put the letter back in her handbag, and she herself made a frightened look, and withdrew her hands to her chest, looking at Luo Wei's gaze with a little fear.
"Are you going to take my love away too?"
This sentence made Luo Wei completely confused.
Love?Uncle Bastard's Letter?Could it be that you are really in love with him?
However, Rowe soon realized that there was something lacking in his knowledge.
Harassing the students, that was the statement of the Clock Tower, in other words, the Ermelo family, but he didn't seem to have seen how his uncle harassed other students, that is......
"Hmm.... Miss Arlo, do you like my uncle?"
Arlo nodded, and her face immediately showed a look: "It's not like, it's love, your uncle Romel is an angel given to me by God, but my father doesn't approve of him, so he drove him away." For four years, I thought he had forgotten me, but yesterday I was really happy to receive these letters, and I know that my Darling has not forgotten me. ”
Miss Arlo, who was extremely excited, suddenly took out the letters in her handbag again, took them out one by one, and began to read them.
The first one: "Oh, dear Arlo, it was about three years when you saw this letter, my nephew could not have sent it to you in the first place, maybe you had forgotten me when you saw this letter, but I still remember you, my love, you are like a rose deep into my heart, although it stings, but it is more beautiful." ”
"Oh, Romil, my Darling. Miss Arlo, who felt the same after reading it, clutched her chest, and her excited mood jumped on her face.
The second letter: "Oh, dear Arlo, it will be about two years when you read this letter, I have a stable life in the United States, although the life of ordinary people has nothing to do with magic, but I am very happy, but without you, that happiness is just a point on the 100-point test paper, you are 99 points in my life, without you, I am very uncomfortable, looking forward to the day when I will meet you again." ”
"Oh, Romil, my Darling, so am I. ”
Rowe was in an already embarrassing situation, because Miss Arlo's out-of-control emotions made her speak very loudly, and in this quiet library, she had already attracted all the attention of the people around her, and this matter was bound to be known by the parents of the Ermeiro family.
The third: "Oh, dear Arlo, it will be about a year since you read this letter, huh..... I miss you so much, and I regret now why I didn't muster up the courage to take you from Ermero's hands, and if that were the case, I might have suffered less, Elo, you are a gift from God, and I will think of you, and love you until the day when you and I meet again, and I don't think that day will be long. ”
"Oh, Romil, my Darling, I'm looking forward to it too!"
Luo Wei could feel the murderous intent in the eyes around him, if it wasn't for them recognizing that the person making noise was the second daughter of the Ermelo family, I'm afraid it would be either a magic trick or someone to blow him out.
Fourth: "Oh, dear Arlo, I don't know what time you saw this letter, but when you see it, be sure to go to my nephew, Rowe Hildley, who will let us meet." ”
After reading the four letters, Miss Arlo grabbed Rowe's shoulders with both hands and asked, "Rowe, I'm here, where is your uncle, and where is my darling?"
Rowe never thought that the second daughter of the Ermelo family would be such a crazy infatuated girl, and even a little crazy, compared to her sister, Milia Ermelo, it was not like a family.
"Miss Arlo, I don't know where my uncle is, but wouldn't it be better for us to get out of here first?" Rovi took Miss Arlo's hand and hurried out of the library, fearing that if he continued to stay there, he would be killed by the sight of the people around him.
In addition to the library, Rowe thought about the place he could go, and it was probably only Lecturer Ermero's room, and he always felt that he had visited that room a little too many times recently, and his whole life had been enriched.
After knocking on the door and getting a response, Rovi pulled Miss Arlo into Lecturer Ermelo's room.
"Lecturer ....." Luo Wei still didn't dare to say some things directly in front of Miss Arlo, such as Miss Arlo was so enthusiastic that the whole library wanted to kill me.
"Oh, Arlo, Rovi, how are you talking?" but Lecturer Ermelo didn't seem to find anything wrong.
"Uncle, I still don't know where Romel Darling is. Miss Arlo looked distressed, and threw herself around her desk into Lecturer Ermelo's arms.
"Don't worry, you'll see him sooner or later. Lecturer Ermelo comforted Miss Arlo by stroking her head, and at the same time glanced at Rowe, who probably understood what he meant.
You can go back first.
I walked out of the lecturer's room and looked at the bright sky. It's impossible to go to the library, otherwise it might really provoke public anger, but there is no class schedule today, and the only remaining option seems to be to go home.
"I knew that this would have been the case, so I would have borrowed the book first. ”
Skirting the streets of London, Rowe returns home and sees X sitting on his bed.
"Ah, Master, are you back so early today? I'm going to go out to work. With that, X got up from the bed.
"X...."Rowe asked the question that he already knew the answer to a little helplessly, "Did you send the letter from my desk?"
"Yes, Master, I can do it. X put on a triumphant face, seemingly pleased with what he had done.
Thanks to you, my heart almost jumped.
However, Luo Wei didn't say so, but touched X's head and said with a smile: "Thank you, X, for helping a lot." ”
"Hey, hey, hey. "It seems that the master touches his head like a kitten, and X is also very happy.
However, Luo Wei's heart was not as happy as his face showed.
There was no magic circuit, and Miss Arlo's affairs, the two boulders weighed on Rowe's heart, making him a little breathless.
Retracting the preface, the future is not bright, but dim.
