Chapter 20: The Night's Attack
In the East Library of Osford, Ellie is looking through the book in her hand, the cover of the book reads "Don't let the world fool your eyes", and under the name is a six-pointed star alchemy array used in alchemy, indicating that this is a book about alchemy.
It was found by Ellie in a corner, as if by fate.
When Ellie picked up the book, she found that it was not a printed type, but a manuscript, and the delicate font was written all over the book, and all the alchemy arrays were drawn with a black pen, but probably because it was a manuscript and placed in the corner, the book looked new, as if not many people had looked at it, and the pages were very smooth, without much dust, which should be the reason why the librarian cleaned it often.
"Alchemy changes the world, it brings happiness to mankind, but it also leads people to the abyss."
Ellie turned the first page and read a sentence on the front page, a famous aphorism, warning those who read the book that alchemy is both beautiful and dangerous, and the girl couldn't help but think of what Teacher Simon said in the first lesson, and looked at the back of this passage, where the owner who said it was written.
"Tiger Eddic, is he a great alchemist?"
Although the girl has been in this world for two years, the world outside the forest is completely unknown to her, she flipped through the two pages and felt that the book's insights into alchemy seemed to be very powerful, and decided to rent this book and go back to read it slowly, after all, the girl had just learned alchemy.
The two alchemy classes they took each week taught Ellie about the magic of this world other than magic and vindictiveness, and in the fourth class, Mr. Simon had already taught them how to use alchemy, and asked them to use the fine sand in the box to make a model of a chick, the newborn kind.
When the students were in high spirits to make chickens, they realized that alchemy is not so easy to learn, and they learned how difficult it is to make dolls like the one that Mr. Simon demonstrated in class.
For the first time, Ellie barely managed to make a chick with the kind of control she practiced with her shaping weapon, which sounded like a chick, but it was not much like an oval egg.
The girl's shaping weapon ability is changed from the system learned from the Inside Ghost Sword Technique, although practicing more shaping ability can increase one's control over magic power, but there is a reason that the girl does not practice shaping for a long time, only a month, so the girl's control is also very limited.
But at least compared to the other classmates, who only had a small dirt bag or even fine sand that didn't change at all, the girl was already very good, because Cialis tried her best to only make the two small legs of the chick.
There is another person who is also very good, it is the little fat man Finch who is in the same class as Ellie, but there seems to be some problems with his refining, because the one on his table is not a normal oval but a standard cuboid, and Mr. Simon saw it and slapped him in the head, scolding: "Use your brain, have you ever eaten a cuboid chicken!?" ”
The sheer force even made Finch feel like he had been beaten out of the way and had a concussion.
"Poof~~." The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of Finch's incident again, and looked at the eyes of others who were disturbed by the noise, the girl was a little embarrassed, blushed and blocked the book in front of her, and walked out quickly.
"Don't let the world fool your eyes, well, the library doesn't seem to have this book, wait for me to look it up." The librarian was a girl, her name was Wen Li, a very kind girl, she looked at the manuscript book in Ellie's hand, and was a little unsure whether the book belonged to the library, and the books in the library were all printed, and she was surprised that a manuscript suddenly appeared.
"Oh, I found it." Wen Li said happily, closing the huge book catalog in her hand, "Hmm~~ The number of times this book is borrowed is 0, are you sure you only borrow this book?" ”
"Yes." Ellie said to Wen Li with a smile.
"Okay, then~~ Please take out your student ID, the deposit is ten silver coins, and the rental for one day is one copper coin, if you want to rent for ten days, it will be a total of ten copper coins." Wen Li looked at Ellie's smile and felt that her heart was floating with this smile, feeling so warm and healing.
Ellie took out her student ID card and coins to register with Wen Li, and after Wen Li finished writing, she looked at Ellie and said, "The lease is ten days, and if you don't return it for more than ten days, you will be charged two more copper coins every day after it expires." ”
"Well, got it, thanks, I'll go first." Ellie picked up the book and smiled at Wen Li and walked out of the library.
"Well, you're welcome."
"It's as gentle and polite as it is written." Wen Li watched Ellie walk away, and took out a book, although the pages were only thirteen pages, each page was thick, making it look like a magazine, with pictures of some beautiful girls in the academy printed on it, and the first page was Ailie's picture. "But wouldn't being too polite give people a sense of alienation?"
In the photo, Ellie is smiling and walking gracefully along the academy's forest path, giving people a warm and harmonious feeling of being in touch with nature.
"Na, forget it, it's someone else's business anyway, but the little black cat on Alicia's head is so cute, the two little golden eyes are turning around, hehe."
Ellie walked alone on the road, flipping through the book she had just borrowed, but because it was evening, it was getting dark, and the light was a little insufficient, so the girl still dismissed the idea of reading while walking.
More than a month of college life made Ellie completely fall in love here, this is like Ellie's second home in addition to the cat house, I want to live like this forever, shopping with classmates and friends, picnics, parties, but college life will always end, Ellie sighed, but then I think about it, is she too pessimistic, I have only been in the academy for a month, and there are still six years to go to school here.
Thinking of this, Ellie couldn't help but smile, amused by the idea that she had just shown off.
Just when the girl was still laughing because of her thoughts, she didn't know that she was being targeted and was already a prey in the eyes of others.
On a big tree on the side of the road, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Ellie, it belonged to a black shadow among the leaves, because it was surrounded by leaves and was not discovered by others, his eyes flashed with red light, and with a kick of his feet, the black shadow disappeared instantly, but appeared on a tree next to him, but the power emitted did not make the branches shake in the slightest, and silently followed the girl who had not yet realized that she was in danger.
This black shadow is the guy who has a headache for the Ministry of Wind and Discipline now, he has been staring at the girl since Ellie came out of the library, the girl's breath has a fatal attraction to him, the reason why he didn't attack the girl directly is because there were many people at the time, he didn't want others to find out, but now the girl is already alone on the way to his dormitory, and the sun has set, and now it is the world of dark creatures......
The path gradually darkened, and the magic lamps on the side of the road lit up one by one, illuminating the gradually darkening area, and the breeze blew the girl's hair, and the bright gold was as conspicuous as a bright light in the night.
The wind blows the leaves of the fragrant tree, which perfectly conceals the unusual sound.
A dark shadow brought a soft sound of leaves, and pounced straight towards the girl walking in the middle of the road.
The hand that "Bang" stretched out to the girl was blocked by a membrane, which was the magic shield that the girl used to protect herself, and the spherical cover that wrapped the girl was brilliant, but it could not withstand the second attack of the black shadow.
"Smack~~"
"Huh?" The magic shield shattered in response, and the girl who was in deep thought was awakened by the sound, and looked at the unknown traces of the magic shield's disappearance, and let out a lovely puzzled sound.
The girl who was still in a daze suddenly felt a tingling pain in her neck, her body was also a little numb and did not obey the call, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she fainted in the arms of the black shadow.
