Chapter 54: Yearning

"You don't seem to be from this world."

Beatrice looked at the magical knowledge written by Wood in her hand, and couldn't help but be secretly amazed in her heart, judging from her knowledge, these magical theories had the possibility of success, not just random writings by the other party.

But as Wood said, the magic it was written on was not something she could ...... No, strictly speaking, no one in the world but Wood can learn these magics.

"But it did inspire me a lot."

Beatrice nodded, putting on a look of disgust: "Only this time, Betty admits that you are not a waste otaku, at least you can contribute a little bit to the world." After that, she looked up proudly, but this upward movement lasted for a long time, and she did not receive an answer.

Turning her head, Beatrice noticed that Wood on the other side had fallen asleep at some point, and when she looked over, the whole person gradually slipped off the chair as if it were boneless, and finally fell to her knees on the ground in a posture with her butt raised.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A smile flashed in Beatrice's eyes: "It's a new posture again!" ”

For a few days, she didn't learn anything else...... But learned from this lazy bastard a variety of sleeping positions; No matter what the situation is, no matter what you're doing, as long as you close your eyes, this guy can fall asleep in a matter of seconds.

Worthy of the title of 'Sleeping God'!

Betty didn't bother Wood to sleep, and looked down at the unique magic theory in her hand, and if she used it as a reference, her Yin Elemental Magic, which had reached the extreme, would almost inevitably break through.

This book, if spread outside, would be enough to cause an unknown number of mages and elves to snatch it, even Rozval.

It can be seen how precious this book is.

However......

Beatrice glanced at Wood next to her with strange eyes, she really didn't know what to say about this guy called Wood, although she heard Nazuki Pleiades, who brought the Buzz brothers and sisters to visit Wood, say how terrible and vicious this little ghost is.

But after a few days of getting along, Beatrice didn't find Wood terrible or ...... other than in terms of strength Being with this little imp made Beatrice feel very relaxed.

Good like now.

In order to snatch the dessert that he asked Rem to make, this guy actually gave himself such a precious magic book.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Beatrice shook her head directly, too lazy to think about Wood, anyway......

After all, it's just a passerby!

In this silent atmosphere, time passed little by little.

The time of the day is fleeting, and although you can't see the outside, if the time is not mistaken, it should be dark outside.

And at this moment, the door that she had been looking at for more than 400 years, but which had been frequently pushed open recently, was suddenly opened, and the happy face of Natsuki entered Beatrice's field of vision.

"Yo, little Lori, haven't you slept yet?"

Natsuki beckoned very naturally, and judging from her tone, she was obviously very happy to have encountered something.

He looked at the situation in the library, and when he saw Wood, who continued to sleep in the same position as if he was dead, he pouted: "This guy really sleeps every day, I wanted him to help me see what has changed." ”

"Have you been able to break my 'door of opportunity' for granted? It's just a human being. ”

"Don't be so cold, I'm also a neighbor who often comes to your door." Cai Yue didn't care about Beatrice's taunt at all, and walked towards the library as she spoke: "Since that bastard is asleep, little Lori, you can help me see, has anything changed in me?" ”

"When I went with Rem to buy outside Alam Village today, I was addicted to missionary work, and I felt as if there was a fire in my body that was gradually burning, as if some kind of terrifying power that had long been sealed away was gradually awakening with faith as an opportunity."

"Sure enough, Betty still hates self-righteous humans like you."

Beatrice closed the book in her hand and glanced up and down at Caiyue: "It's a pity, it's just your own illusion, and nothing ......has changed in your body" Beatrice frowned, and a different color flashed in her eyes as blue as the ocean.

"How?"

Seeing this, Caiyue was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Am I going to awaken some abilities?" ”

Beatrice didn't say anything when she heard this, but looked at Wood, who was unresponsive next to her, and shook her head after a few laps of her index finger on the vertical roll: "There are those Betty who you said are not interested, but I don't think you should be happy about the change in you." ”

Caiyue was stunned for a moment, a little unaware of the meaning of Beatrice's words.

But before he could ask, he heard Beatrice snort coldly: "Okay, get out!" ”

With that, the void suddenly trembled.

Before Cai Yueyue could react, his whole person was lifted off by the invisible impact and was thrown out of the forbidden book library.

With the door closed, the forbidden library returned to calm once again.

But Beatrice didn't continue to look at the book in her hand, but frowned and looked in the direction of the door, and suddenly said, "Aren't you going to save him?" ”

"Why should I save him?"

Wood's voice suddenly sounded, and he turned his head to see Wood, who was sleeping like a dead pig before, and at some point he had already sat back in his chair, looking at Beatrice with a smile on his face: "You can't be naΓ―ve and think that I will save him, so you didn't say anything to warn him, right?" ”

Hearing this, Beatrice's little face instantly turned cold.

"What does it have to do with Betty whether he dies or not?" She snorted coldly, and then, as if afraid that Wood would not believe her, she added, "The reason why I ask this is entirely because you are his friend." ”

"Is that so?"

Wood stared straight at Beatrice's big blue eyes.

"Humph!"

Beatrice glared at Wood fiercely, then looked down at the book in her hand.

This scene made the corners of Wood's mouth can't help but hook.

It's really awkward.

But he didn't dwell on this topic, but leaned back in the chair lazily, and said with slightly narrowed eyes: "You are mistaken, I am not friends with Caiyue Pleiades, if I have to say what I have to do with him, it is just ...... It's just a matter of using each other. ”

Beatrice stared blankly and said with a disdainful expression, "Do you think Betty will believe your nonsense?" ”

"That's what happened."

Wood laughed, "I'm a timid person, so I've always been kind to strangers to avoid getting into trouble, and he's just one of the countless strangers in the world." Wood paused and pouted.

"If it was a few years ago, I would probably say that I don't need friends who don't have value, but now I have to admit it...... There are people who, even if they don't do you any good, will be unconsciously attracted to them and eventually become want to be by their side, even if it is temporary, even if it is dangerous, even if it may be death, you want to be by their side until the end. ”

"Human beings, after all, are creatures with social habits."

"So Caiyue is not my friend, it can only be regarded as a familiar point, and I don't want to offend strangers."

Social habits...... What?

A hint of complexity flashed on Beatrice's little face, but she immediately restrained herself, and glanced at Wood coldly: "That's why Betty hates you humans, obviously very weak individuals gather together to survive, but they have been intriguing with each other." ”

"Really?"

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked slightly: "I think it's more appropriate to change the 'hate' in your mouth to 'yearning'." ”

"Huh?"

Beatrice frowned, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes when she looked at Wood, and a look of annoyance clearly appeared on her little face: "It's enough to have Rozval who likes to talk crazy, do you want to be like him?" ”
