Chapter 5: Notes on Magic

The afternoon sun shone fiercely on the streets of Mika, and the endless stream of pedestrians gradually thinned out, and they all hid in their houses to enjoy a moment of coolness. This is a unique part of Mika City, where the temperature is extremely high at noon and the moonlight is especially bright at night.

In the sultry air, the faint sound of a violin flowed slowly. That's people who are obsessed with music, expressing their hearts in their own way. It's also a city of music. Not only the wealthy aristocrats could play beautiful melodies, but even the ordinary people who lived in the slums could hum a few nice tunes.

Music, gems, and magic decorate the city with nobility and elegance.

After the meal, Moon dismissed the servants around him and strolled through the luxurious castle alone. There were so many things that were unfamiliar to her, but now she had no intention of knowing, and she was desperate to master magic and make her identity more secure.

She pushed open the heavy door of the study, and the smell of pen and ink in the study couldn't help but shake her mind. In the spacious and bright study, five small bookshelves are neatly arranged. The entire bookshelves are made of glass, reflecting the scorching sunlight outside the window.

Moon looked around in front of the bookshelves, searching for books related to magic. However, it seems that Munn did not buy such books in the past, but instead bought a lot of sheet music.

"She's going to get a lot!" Moon muttered quietly, feeling even more agitated.

Moon, who had been carefully examining the bookshelf, finally sat down on a chair by the window. Nothing.

Could it be that she was born with magic? Moon thought desperately as he anxiously banged on the table. The hollow sound of the table made the cautious Moon excited again. She quickly looked down at the entire table, only to realize that there was a drawer under the table. But to her dismay, the drawer was locked!

"What the hell! It's so troublesome to do anything! She cursed.

After coming out of the study, she went back to her bedroom and rummaged around. Finally, a bunch of keys and a thick brown leather book were found in the bottom drawer of the wardrobe.

Flipping through the somewhat worn cowhide book, she saw the delicate handwriting from the girl. This turned out to be a diary!

On some of the yellowed paper, rows of strange characters were printed in black ink, and Moon looked at them in confusion for a long time, but he didn't understand the meaning of these characters. Could it be that she was keeping a diary in another script? The only thing that can be understood among these characters is the date and the weather, which is obviously a diary. Moon flipped the leather book from beginning to end, and there was no trace of receipt, except judging by the date, the diary recorded the events of the last two years.

She carefully put the leather book back in the drawer, and walked to the study with the set of keys.

"Miss Moon!" Tani stopped Moon at an inopportune moment, who was rushing to the study.

"Is there something wrong?" Moon patiently looked at Tani who was trotting behind her.

"Mistress Rachel and Miss Thea have something to look for you. They were waiting downstairs. ”

"Got it, please ask them to wait a moment." Ignoring Tani's surprise, Moon walked to his own study.

Originally, Mu En was an anxious person, but forcing himself to calm down in the past few days would cause the illusion of gentleness and weakness. Now, she didn't care if it was Rachel or anything else, she just wanted to know what was hidden in the study drawer.

Tani, who has followed Moon for many years, naturally knows how to measure. She instructed the refresher to prepare haode snacks and coffee to entertain the waiting guests.

"Moon is getting bigger and bigger!" Sitting on the crystal chair and eating a snack, Thea did not forget the irony of the time.

Rachel only lowered her head and stirred the coffee in her cup evenly, completely filtering out Thea's whining.

Tani stood with a smiling face, praying that her master would show up soon. This is a rude Thea, who doesn't like Miss Moon in the first place, and now let her wait here, maybe she will find some trouble in a while.

And at this moment, Moon had successfully opened the drawer with the key. Sure enough, there were several thick magic notes in the drawer, which detailed the magic materials needed to manipulate the magic and the process of casting it, as well as the successes and failures of previous magic experiments. With these things, it's time to learn magic. Moon happily held the magic note in his arms, like a treasure.

She quickly flipped through the first notebook, and soon found an introduction to the Shadow Shield.

The Shadow Shield is a wizard's unique magic that can be used to transform into a shield that gives the caster an indestructible coat. With the protection of the Shadow Shield, it is possible to win even if you encounter an opponent who is several times stronger than you.

This is a kind of dark magic, a magical element that only wizards possess. In the notes, there are also details on how to cast the Shadow Shield, and how to practice it. Those awkward spells made Moon look a little headache, but it was a basic skill she had to become a wizard.

Moon put the magic note back in the drawer, and the stone in his heart finally fell. It was then that she remembered what Tani had just told her about a visitor. Rachel is no longer a stranger, and it seems that he is the one who will not hurt him, and where is this Thea?

In the spacious and bright crystal hall, there are already people who can't bear it. Thea frowned, her mouth showing an ugly arc, and glared at Tani, eager to eat her in one bite.

"How long the hell is she going to keep us waiting? Sure enough, he was affected by the black magician, and his cultivation was worse than before! Thea screamed in a high-pitched voice, as if to embarrass the entire castle.

Tani lowered her head, afraid to speak.

"Big brother, let's go, don't waste our precious time. It's afternoon! The most beautiful haode moment of the day! Thea is unrelenting in her provocation.

Rachel finally set his eyes on Thea in front of her. His beautiful royal blue eyes were like frost at the moment, and it was frighteningly cold. There was a trace of anxiety engraved on the already angular face, and the gaze that looked at Xiya was also cold and irritable.

Just such a gaze immediately made Thea, who was still making a lot of noise just now, close her mouth and sit down again. "Looks like Rachel still cares about her," she thought, her jealousy of Moon even stronger.

When the air in the hall was tense to the extreme, Moon finally appeared.

She greeted Rachel and Thea with a smile and sat down in the chair next to Thea in a dignified manner. Since Moon appeared, Rachel's gaze has never dissipated from her, and all this is seen by Thea, and she can't wait to humiliate Moon now.

"Do you remember me, Moon? It's been a long time since we've seen each other! Ever since you and that evil dark mage Amber ......have been inseparable," Thea looked at Moon with a smile.

Sure enough, this sentence made Rachel, who had been looking at Moon gently, tremble in his eyes and retract his gaze. Amber is a sharp blade, and every time he lifts it, it makes him feel like a fish in the throat.

Moon didn't know Thea's identity for the time being, but according to her judgment, he could naturally see that she was not a good person.

Thea is very beautiful, and if she walks down the street, I believe that everyone who sees her will pay attention. With such a noble dress and such an elegant smile, she clearly reveals her identity as a noble daughter. But she was blonde and blue-eyed, like a Barbie doll, but she became extremely hideous in front of Munn, and she was completely a snarky village woman.

Her jealousy and hatred for Moon arose only because of Rachel.

Thea, like Rachel, is a traditional magician, though her attainments are lower than Rachel's. Their families have been friends for generations, and it is inevitable that they have had a lot of contact. And Rachel's unique kingly spirit and handsome appearance since childhood naturally won Thea's affection. As an adult, Rachel is even more skilled in spells, which makes Thea fall in love with him.

But Rachel never put Thea, who had admired him since he was a child, in his eyes, and his eyes were full of Munn, who was a wizard. This made Thea, who was already in a good condition, hold a grudge. She was jealous of Moon's beautiful appearance, and jealous that Moon's ability to make Rachel love her with all her heart. And Amber's appearance made Rachel, who loved Munn deeply, very sad, but even so, he never gave up his pursuit of Muan, which made Thea unbearable.

As a result, this hatred for Moon was added to the bone.

The reason for all this, Moon who was sitting next to Thea at the moment did not know. This is all from the past, and how did she know about it? However, she could still feel Thea's hostility towards herself.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Moon, ignoring Thea's sarcasm, asked calmly.

"Of course!" Thea was even more annoyed by Moon's indifference, and said fiercely through gritted teeth.

"Thea, stop making trouble." Rachel said, "There's a new word from Lord Gramani that there is a group of cultists meeting in the church in the ghetto of Delhi. Residents have reported that the church has suddenly disappeared on several nights, leaving only a blood-red glow. In the early hours of the next morning, the church appeared unharmed, much to the horror of the residents who stumbled upon all this. I'm afraid that it was the evil magician who used blindfolding on the church to create the illusion that the church would disappear. ”

"What's in it for them to have the church disappear for a while?" Moon was puzzled.

"Well, it's not for sure. But Lord Gramani suspected that they were performing blood sacrifices. Speaking of this, Rachel's face became gloomy, "This kind of cruel spell, I didn't expect that there are still people who worship ......"

Although Moon didn't know what kind of spell the blood sacrifice was, just thinking about it from the name, he would also think that it must be related to human blood and life.

"Moon, tonight we are going to conduct a secret operation against the church in Derijan. Master Gramani wants us to get something out of it. Rachel continued.

When he came to Mika City, Moon felt a kind of panic for the first time. It seems that Mika's magician is going to eliminate evil and promote good tonight, but she doesn't know magic yet, isn't it very likely that she will be exposed?

Thea on the side saw Muen's embarrassed expression, and didn't forget to fall into the ground: "Muen, you can't hesitate now." Because of Amber, Master Gramani has become suspicious of you, and this operation is just a good way to prove your innocence, and you can't shirk it! Besides, this operation, only the three of us were arranged, and even the priest and paladin were not invited, if you don't go, Brother Rachel and I are injured, who will heal it? I heard that your healing potion is the most haode in the entire wizarding world......"

"I ...... I haven't recovered yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to cast spells for the time being......" Moon tried to redeem it.

"It's not like you don't want to help me and Big Brother Rachel, right?" Thea deliberately raised her voice.

Just when Moon was at a loss, Rachel suddenly comforted gently: "It's okay, Mune, you just need to act with us, as for casting spells, you don't need to assist us this time." I know your body is not healed yet. Rachel remembered that he had almost hurt Munn last night, and his thoughts about Munn deepened. Therefore, he did not doubt the validity of Moon's reason for being unable to cast spells due to his physical inadequacy.

"Big brother......" Thea was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but Rachel had already gotten up and was about to leave. Thea had no choice but to swallow the words back into her stomach and stand up stupidly.

"At nine o'clock in the evening, we will come and meet you." Rachel looked deeply into Munn's eyes.

Moon nodded heavily, but his heart was up and down.
