56. Library
Walking on the forest path leading to the library, I felt that the fire element in the air was much more restless than usual, and a bad premonition rose in my heart, which made me rush in the direction of the library. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Through the gaps in the trees, I could see that the entrance to the library was crowded with people, and from a distance, it looked like it was crowded together, and I guessed that something must have happened at the entrance of the library.
The entrance and exit of this building are very narrow, and the double spiral staircase can only allow three people to walk side by side, once some accidents occur on the stairs, causing traffic jams, it will easily cause congestion.
However, the people who enter and leave the library are mostly warrior apprentices and magic apprentices in the academy, as well as some tutors in the academy, these people are relatively high-level and usually more orderly.
I huddled inside at the back of the crowd, all of whom were students from the Academy, and I followed their line of sight to see five magic apprentices from the third-year fire class, dressed in neat devotion magic robes, standing side by side on the steps, holding a hot fireball between their hands, blocking everyone's path in front of the library door.
I breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the abnormal magic fluctuations in the air were just someone using the fireball technique at the entrance of the library, and I thought someone had set this century-old building on fire!
And in front of the door of the library, a young nobleman dressed in Misoli's magic robes was standing on the steps, holding a bouquet of bright red roses in one hand, standing quietly looking at the entrance of the library affectionately. The sumptuous magic robes and his milk-smooth skin showed off his nobility and extraordinaryness.
I think this senior must be a descendant of some great nobleman in the city of El, his aristocratic temperament is deeply engraved in the bone marrow, just standing on the steps of the library, it seems that he is so arrogant.
Helena, who was wearing a sheepskin light armor dress and a sleeveless coat of delicate blue deerskin, stood on the steps in the door of the library with a stunned face, the door had been blocked tightly by the young noble senior's mage friends, Helena looked at this scene at the entrance of the library with a little stunned, and a look of shame and helplessness appeared on her beautiful face, and her eyes as clear as a star lake looked innocently at the young noble senior, and did not speak.
I'm afraid that the blocking of the door has been going on for a while, and the students who were blocked outside began to be dissatisfied, but the few fire-based magic apprentices who were guarding the fireballs with their empty hands were very deterrent to the students outside, even if there were different voices, they couldn't take the lead in raising it at this time, otherwise, after that, this talkative person would definitely have a grudge with the aristocratic senior who put up this battle.
"Helena, you can't come to pick up my roses, there will only be more and more people gathered here, I just want everyone in the academy to know that Abigail, the magic apprentice of my fire magic class, likes Helena of the warrior academy very much. The young aristocratic senior spoke slowly, but with absolute confidence in his tone, he lowered his head and gently raised his sword eyebrows, raising his eyes and waiting for Helena to step forward and take the bouquet of roses in his hand.
Who knows, at this time, Helena was unmoved, not even the slightest word.
She pulled the big wavy curls that covered her forehead behind her ears, revealing half of her beautiful face, and although she was still so immature, her beauty could conquer everyone.
Abigail blinked her golden eyes and said to Helena, "Helena, hurry up and accept my flowers, the students here are waiting to enter the library to read!
After hearing Abigail's words, Helena really looked outside with some hesitation, biting her pink lip in embarrassment and not speaking.
At this time, some of the students who were blocked out had already seen some clues, and it was very obvious that the girl opposite didn't like Abigail very much, these things were all Abigail's wishful thinking, so someone shouted in the crowd outside: "Abigail, get out of the way, that girl is the most beautiful school flower in the Warrior Academy, but the hero in people's hearts is not you, you just stand here for a hundred years, and it is useless!"
"Maybe people have already had a crush, Abigail, you get out of the way! You are so many people out of the library, aren't you afraid of the turnips in the discipline office and invite you to drink herbal tea?"
Radish is the nickname of Robt, the director of the teaching office, and at the age of nearly fifty, he is a little out of shape, looking like a white radish as thick as the top and bottom, so many students in the college privately call him Radishes.
As soon as that harsh voice fell, it attracted a round of applause, obviously although many people did not want to provoke such a rich and powerful nobleman, it did not mean that they would approve of Abigail's approach, when someone sarcastically Abigail, this group of people would not hesitate to stand aside and watch the excitement
"Haha......"
The sarcastic words in the crowd made the dignified magic apprentice Abigail's face change a little in a moment, and the excitement and passion on his face had gradually dissipated after these people ridiculed. Hidden under the smiling face was a look of unhappiness, and this originally confident magic apprentice was a little unable to get off the stage.
I sighed in my heart, thinking that such a superficial method of controlling my sister would have a little effect on some vain girls who had a good impression of Abigail, but for those girls who were mature and independent, it could only be a worse impression.
"Whoever is talking a lot, let him taste the fireball technique!" shouted one of the magic apprentices standing in the doorway with the fireball in his hands, and the outrageous words caused the onlookers to scatter a little.
Fire magic has always been the most mainstream magic in the Grimm Empire, these second-year magicians have learned the seventh-level magic skill "Fireball Technique", after they have this powerful magic, they gradually realize the many benefits of this magic, once they learn to use the "Fireball Technique", the magic apprentices' waists will be straightened, and this magic apprentice will make the crowd outside the library completely dumb with a voice.
At this time, Ying Li's petite figure emerged from the library door, I saw that she was worried that Helena would suffer, and stood by Helena's side without hesitation, followed by Lagertis and Becky, among the four girls, only Ying Li was slightly ordinary, Becky was slightly inferior to Helena in terms of appearance, but her good figure was slightly better than Helena, and Lagertis was taller and a little thinner. These four girls standing together at the door of the library is also a magnificent scenery.
"Let's go upstairs and read a book for a while!" Becky frowned, this had happened before, but it hadn't gotten so bad. Seeing that the way out was blocked, he proposed to go back to the library again.
"Yes, let's go back!" said Lagertis appreciatively, wearing a pair of vertically striped leggings today, which looked like a cute compass.
Seeing Helena turn to leave, the young nobleman Abigail was a little anxious, suddenly stepped forward and took two steps, reached out and grabbed Helena's wrist, raised her hand on her chest, and staggered Helena forward two steps without the slightest preparation, which startled Helena a lot, she reacted and tried to withdraw her hand, but Abigail's big hand was like iron tongs.
Helena was an apprentice swordsman, and her strength was not so bad that she could not lose to Abigail, who was an apprentice of magic, and Win Li once praised Helena's swordsmanship as very good, but I had never seen any of them.
"What do you want to do?" Helena asked Abigail with a round glare of surprise and anger, I think the girl was too calm, and at this time she was still calculating Abigail, so that the young nobleman's face was firmly stamped with a "bully".
"Promise to be my dance partner, and I'll take someone with me!" Abigail said directly, as if he thought Helena was really afraid of him.
Helena was also hard-hearted, although one hand was held in someone's hand, her tone was not weak at all: "Let go of me! How can you be ...... like this?"
Ying Li seems to be very busy in the past two days, unless she can be seen when we are in a big class together, she has not been reading with me in the library for several days, and it is rare to have time to go to the library with me in the morning, which has become a little habit for the two of us, only a little time, but also to hide in the library to enjoy the quiet and comfortable atmosphere there.
Although the magic test lasts all morning, it is only a matter of moments for every new magic student. The only trouble is waiting quietly at the door of the laboratory building, and the students who are at the back of the line will test later. I finished the mana test with Ying Li very early, and I rarely had a little time to chat in the library, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Ying Li was at the door of the library, looking at Abigail angrily, complaining in his heart about how this ignorant guy had been standing in the way of this.
Lagertis went to pull Helena's sleeve, but Becky quickly stood by Helena's side, clenched Abigail's palm with both hands, and tried to break the big hand he held Helena, but failed.
I don't think it's because Becky doesn't have enough strength, maybe she's worried about breaking Abigail's hand. Becky, who took the fighting route, didn't dare to really exert herself, and the consequence of doing so could only be to be asked to the teaching office of the Warrior Academy for questioning. Because Abigail is a true apprentice of magic, he is protected by the laws set by the Grimm Empire specifically for nobles.
Despite Abigail's strong struggle, Helena finally pulled out her hand, turned around and ran into the library. Ying Li and the others also returned to the library on the second floor, and Abigail's carefully planned confession ceremony ended in failure.
He stood with the five classmates with a pale face, and looked at the back of the four girls when they went upstairs fiercely, with a very complicated expression.
There was a boo all around, and it was clear that the audience thought that such an ending was a bit bland, but in fact, there should be a heroic character who stood up and used sword and magic to defeat these losers of love, and then win the favor of the girls. It can be that such a person has never appeared.
The crowd finally began to disperse...... As people entered the library, I climbed the steps and walked into the library with the flow of people. At this time, Abigail stood dejectedly, sniffing the warm fragrance on his wrist, and left gloomily.
I think next time, at least he should learn how to keep a low profile and how to take into account other people's feelings, so that people don't hate him.
When I passed by him, I realized that he was a head taller than me......
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
"In any case, you must come back to watch the theatrical performance in the afternoon, Helena and I have prepared a program. Don't go wrong!" Ying Li held a miscellaneous magic book, looked at it a little absent-mindedly, and told him about it repeatedly.
I was in the innermost layer of the library, and I flipped through a copy of "A Detailed Explanation of Ice Shield Magic", which was regarded as a treasure at the moment, and at this time I had already buried my head on the bookcase, and carefully studied what was said in the book word by word, and when I heard Ying Li say this, I nodded and agreed: "I will definitely go to the scene early after trying on the dress in the afternoon!"
"Yes!" Ying Li was very happy to hear me say this, and a shallow dimple appeared on his face.
After a while, Ying Li asked again, "Then do you want me to give you a seat in the front row?"
I was stunned and looked up at her.
After that night in the rose garden, it seemed that the hazy thin veil between me and Ying Li had been lifted, and we used to run together in the morning, and occasionally in the morning when we had a big class, we went to the cafeteria together at noon, or went to the library to read a book together. We didn't say anything intimate between us, everything was very prosaic.
And now, there seems to be more eager light in her eyes, and there is always a touch of shyness in her sweet smile.
"You don't have to prepare for the show backstage, as if I'm more free, I'll try to find a front seat and applaud you! I said to her seriously, so angry that Ying Li rolled my eyes.
Then I asked, "Do you want me to rush up and bring you a bouquet of flowers?"
Ying Li pursed his lips and smiled, without saying anything or speaking.
I smiled and said to her: "Helena and Becky, needless to say, someone will definitely come to the stage to deliver flowers, and Lagertis is okay, although the pants she is wearing today are a little avant-garde, but with a beautiful face and a tall figure, someone will definitely be willing to give her a bouquet of flowers." When the time comes, you will be the only one left without flowers, won't it be pitiful!"
"Jijia, why are you so annoying!" Ying Li said in a low voice, leaning into my ear.
Ying Li was a little mad with my anger, and he didn't even bother to read the essay that told the story of magic, and the "Detailed Explanation of Ice Shield Magic" in my hand had been stuck on page thirteen, and had not been turned over for a quarter of an hour.
Helena, Lagertis and Becky were all apprentices of warriors, and they couldn't enter the mage's reading area, so the three of them sat on the edge of the fence and chatted, which was very relaxing. There were always young magicians, dressed to fetch a book or pour a glass of water, walking slowly past them, trying to find the perfect moment to strike up a conversation.
Wherever the three beautiful girls go, they are the focus of attention.
Helena still raised her hand from time to time to see if the bruise marks on her wrist had disappeared. They weren't too far away from me and Win Li, and I could still hear Becky's silver bell-like laughter from time to time, even though they had lowered their voices. I sometimes wonder how Ying Li became their friend.
"With that new teaching assistant, Moraya'er?" asked I. I know what Ying Li is referring to is going to try on dresses in the afternoon.
My eyes fell on the complex circle of the Ice Shield skill, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
I remember that Sister Guoguo is very good at using the magic of the ice shield, the magic circle and spells of this ice magic are very long, once the rhythm is a little incongruous, it will also make this magic fail, I think the top priority is to learn "time stagnation" first, only after learning this magic, when learning other magic, will you get twice the result with half the effort.
For a long time, Ying Li didn't speak, kept his head down and read, and the atmosphere was very dull.
I knew that although she told me that she didn't mind me going to the ball with Morayal, she was obviously still haunted by it, and she still had a knot in her heart!
She didn't understand at first, so I said it again.
Ying Li didn't think about it, so he shook his head, continued to read her essay, and then blushed and said: "I don't, it's good for me to go with Becky, don't think that no one invites me to dance, I just don't like to talk to him." ”
I saw that the corners of Ying Li's eyes were a little red, so I hurriedly said: "Okay, I know that Ying Li is a very cute girl, I can't dance anyway, when the time comes, let's go eat those dance delicacies together!"
Although Ying Li pretended not to hear, I noticed that her crystal small earlobes were moving slightly, and she was obviously listening attentively.
The Ice Shield is a bit difficult, and the most important point is to freeze it into a shield when it is in the form of water, the magic pattern circle is very complicated, and it took me a long time, and I still can't draw it completely.
The pattern of the magic pattern of the ice shield is very exquisite, and when I see such a beautiful rune pattern, I have an urge to depict it, and I want to use my magic pen to give these beautiful patterns new life, so that those magical powers are contained in the magic parchment.
"I've decided to join the Inscription Society in a few days. I didn't raise my head, and said to Ying Li: "I want to learn some knowledge about magic runes from them, a few days ago, when I passed by the magic shop, I saw some magic scrolls, and I was really shocked to ask the owner for the price, those scrolls are really expensive......
Ying Li asked in surprise: "You want to be an inscription master in the future? This requires a certain talent, the inscription requires the magician to be very strict on the control of the magic elements, you need to spend a lot of time practicing manipulation spells, which will take up a lot of your time, those inscription masters will never be high-level great magicians, they have little time to learn magic skills, and they don't have enough time to meditate!"
"I just had an idea, and I found that I like to make magic scrolls!" I said, pointing to the magic pattern of the ice shield skill on the magic book, and then said to Ying Li, "I think it's very beautiful, I can't help but want to draw it!"
Ying Li closed the pages of the miscellaneous book, supported his chin with both hands, and said to me, "That's good! If you can learn how to draw a magic pattern in the future, you have to help me draw a magic pattern, okay......"
"Okay," I said with a smile, "just don't dislike the ugly formation I have drawn, I can guarantee for sure that the scrolls I give you will be very useful." ”
At this time, Ying Li's was inexplicably a little red.
In the whole library, the two freshmen, Ying Li and I, were very special, we didn't race against time to meditate like the other freshmen, but leisurely read some essays or the structural drawings of the magic pattern circle all day long.
We stayed in the library until lunchtime, and then we came out of the library.
"Here's this!" Ying Li reached out and took off the studs from the pink earlobes as he walked out of the library door, put them in the palm of his hand and handed them to me.
I was stunned and said strangely, "Why are you giving me these studs? Do you want me to be like you, wearing ears and eyes, wearing such studs, and making me angry?"
"Your results in the morning magic test are not very good!" Ying Li saw that I didn't accept it, so he asked me directly.
I nodded, I really don't meditate much in recent times, my magic vortex has kept my mana full, I don't use meditation at all, and my magic pool has not been significantly enhanced, but this problem has been solved by Teacher Heidi for me.
Teacher Heidi is still looking forward to the test, and the mana contained in my magic pool will be able to perform well. But for some reason, even though my magic pool is full of mana all the time, the volume of the magic pool is not very large. But it's hard to say the specific reason, but Ying Li didn't know about the magic vortex, she always thought that I had spent too much time with her, so I never had a chance to meditate, so when I was tested, my results seemed so poor.
"You should have known what these earrings do!" Ying Li said to me directly.
"I don't want you to be warned again by the teacher the next time you test your mana. If you don't like meditation, it doesn't matter, wearing one of my earrings here is almost like meditation. Ying Li finally said her thoughts, it seems that she is worried that I will always accompany her like this, which will affect my cultivation progress, so she wants to give me that earring to wear, so that I can catch up with the progress of the magic pool's cultivation.
She was worried that I would not accept her kindness, so she said to me, "Actually, I don't hate meditation, and these earrings are of little use to keep with me, so I can find a rope to string and hang around your neck!"
I gently pressed my fingers on the inconspicuous stud earrings in her palm, who would have thought that this little ornament was actually a magic artifact, and it was a rare type of magic device that gathers magic power. Such things are rare in the market. It's a great aid for magic apprentices like us.
This is the kind of good thing that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it in the market. But I don't need it the least.
My mana vortex is like a large magic circle, constantly replenishing my mana. I really don't need this kind of magic gathering earrings that help gather mana, so I didn't accept Ying Li's kindness. I was worried that Ying Li would think too much after I rejected it, so I simply untied the magic core that Kuzi gave me from my neck, the texture on Hei Qiuqiu's magic core has been smoothed out, and now it looks like a stone the size of an egg, I handed this inconspicuous pendant to Ying Li and said, "This is a gift from my best brother, and now I will give it to you." ”
Ying Li didn't expect that instead of accepting her magic jewelry, I gave her my precious pendant, and I was a little shy to let me help her wear it on her snow-white neck...... (To be continued.) )
