Chapter 23: The Library

Although there were only two maids in the huge mansion, a table of delicious and extraordinarily rich dinners was prepared, which made Aina and Buzz very satisfied, and Wood, who had eaten vegetable scones for half a month, could also be said to have enjoyed it.

After the meal, the people who had been traveling all the way went back to the rooms that Ram had arranged for them.

Probably because of the sudden transition from the cramped slum to the mansion, Buzz and Aina couldn't sleep at night, and Wood lulled them to sleep before leaving the two small rooms and heading for their room.

"Huh?"

However, after only a few steps, Wood walked in his footsteps and looked into the penultimate room at the end of the hallway.

This feeling......

Wood's sleeping body had learned the magic of Teleport, so he was no stranger to this kind of fluctuation.

After a little recollection of his memory, Wood remembered what was going on in front of him in this mansion that was not in the mansion at the same time.

With a deep groan, Wood pushed the door open.

What catches your eye is a room that resembles a 'library', with rows of bookshelves standing in the middle of a room that seems to be out of sight, and the books on the shelves are closely packed together, and the number of books on the shelves is somewhat surprising.

Of course, the font on it is the text of this world, but it does not affect Wood's observation, because as early as when he came to this world, his succubus constitution had already extracted the words of this world from the souls of ordinary people in this world.

“…… It's really rude, since you've noticed it, shouldn't you knock on the door first and get the master's permission to come in? ”

In the center of the room, a little girl with long, creamy pale hair sits on a chair, wearing a double-curled ponytail in the form of vertical curls, and a gorgeous frilly dress, giving a sense of endearment.

It's a pity that there is an expression on that immature little face that no one should enter.

"Is that so?"

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked: "Then am I going to turn around and go out and knock on the door before coming in?" ”

"Hmph, isn't that the most basic courtesy when entering her bedroom and study?" Beatrice's eyes showed a look of disdain, and she put the book in her arms on the table to the side, and then made a wave of her hand: "Go, go, go......"

"Tut-tut."

Wood snorted, then turned and left the room, as Beatrice had said.

However, he did not leave.

Instead, he knocked on the door with a strange smile on his face.

Knock knock knock——!

"I'm coming in... Well, interesting. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Wood felt a wave of magic ripple in the space around him, to be precise...... In this world, the names of magic are 'Ode' and 'Mana', and the difference between the two is that one uses the magic power in the body to release magic, and the other uses the magic power in the atmosphere to release magic.

Therefore, the titles of the two are also different.

A type of person who uses magic (ord) in his body to use magic and release magic through a 'door' is called a magician. Because the magic power of the magician is stored in the body, the strength is determined by the size and number of individual 'gates'.

The type of person who uses magic through the magic power in the atmosphere (mana), absorbs magic from the outside through the 'door', and then uses the magic accumulated in the body through the 'door' is called a fairy messenger; Because the magic of the elven envoy is entrusted to the outside world, the strength is not determined by the size and number of individual 'gates'.

However, if the elven envoy does not make a contract with the elf, he will not be able to use the elven magic, and the content of the contract depends on the elf.

Of course, everything is special, and some special beings can use both internal magic and atmospheric magic, such as Emilia.

Straight to the point.

That fleeting magic just now should be called 'Mana' strictly speaking, that is to say, elven magic!

"Hey, hey, hey."

The smile on Wood's face grew stronger, and instead of pushing the door, he took a step back.

The next second-

A golden glow spread out without warning.

At the same time,

People all over the mansion couldn't help but look in the direction where Wood was.

"What's going on there?"

In Emilia's room, Emilia was already about to rest, and Emilia suddenly sat up, and a look of surprise flashed on her pretty face: "The magic in the atmosphere was actually attracted in that direction...... No, this feels more dominant? ”

"Mistress Amilia!"

At this moment, two little girls, one red and one blue, suddenly pushed the door and walked in, it was Ram and Rem, but both of them had condensation on their faces: "Please stay here and don't move around until the two of us find out this unknown energy." ”

"Hmm... It should be fine. ”

Emilia shook her head: "Although I don't know what this unknown energy is, but there is an aura of Mr. Wood in it, I think it should be practicing something like that, Mr. Wood's strength is really terrifying." ”

"Mistress Amilia, isn't Mr. Wood the precocious imp you are talking about looking at your sister with squinting eyes?"

"Mistress Emilia, you can't be talking about Mr. Wood the perverted imp who stares at Rem with a lolicon gaze, right?"

“…… You two don't say that in front of Mr. Wood, Parker has told me more than once that Mr. Wood is a terrible person, not just in terms of strength...... So you should be careful not to annoy Mr. Wood. ”

"Alright, Mistress Amilia, Rem is already reflecting."

"Alright, Mistress Amilia, Ram is already reflecting."

Although Ram and Rem answered, the vigilance in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest, or it became more intense.

With such a dangerous person, is it really okay to keep him in the mansion?

"Hmm, it's back to normal?"

……

The sudden change made Wood stunned for a moment.

Because the moment he switched to the body of the sleeping god, the magic power and micro-elves in this atmosphere actually converged towards him, which really startled him.

Fortunately, Wood reacted quickly and reined in the magic in time. Otherwise, these magic powers will swarm over, and although they will not have any effect on him, it is very likely that one accidentally will destroy this mansion.

But then......

Wood slowly raised his head, his gray hair was windless, and then he stretched out his hand and shook and pushed the handle of the door, and the 'library' room once again came into Wood's field of vision, as well as the shocked little face.

"Yo!"

Wood waved his hand first, then walked to the bookshelf and sat down on the ground, and said lazily: "It should be rude to turn away a guest who knocks on the door, right?" ”

……
