The lines drawn by the faded ink on the yellowed paper are almost forever frozen in the past with the passage of time. Δ

Net.

However, through this picture that is not very delicate, the scene reflected in Ning Yue's eyes seems to have shattered the shackles of time and space, and the surging consciousness spans thousands of years, returning to the battlefield at the moment of narration, looking at the ruthless killing of the golden iron horse.

The quaint picture records the battlefield of the demon race thousands of years ago, and under the fluttering ragged flags, the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood are all over the land. Stacked on top of the corpses of the human and demon clans, a slightly slender figure sat leaning on the battle flag. Moreover, it was a woman, dancing in the wind like a ragged flag above.

The blood-stained sword was stuck upside down on the mountain of corpses, as if to suppress the countless grief spirits below. In front of the woman, the remnants of the enemy army looked frightened and did not dare to continue to advance.

And behind her, the army that should be under her direct command is also hesitating, in awe. And yes, fear is greater than respect.

After a long while, Ning Yue's thoughts retracted from the battlefield recorded on the picture, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, vaguely feeling that there were beads of sweat oozing from his back. Through the picture scroll, he could even vaguely feel the monstrous murderous aura revealed by the woman.

"Who is she?"

As he muttered to himself, his fingers brushed over the yellowed paper on the other side, and under each line of strange words that he couldn't understand at all, there was a small line of notes in small characters, translated into the common language of the frontier of all nations.

In the record, it roughly means that thousands of years ago, the nine tribes of the demon clan fought against the holy woman Youxuan. Everywhere I went, there was no grass, millions of corpses were ambushed, and it was an eternal nightmare for mankind. Not only that, but the other eight tribes of the demon clan are also deeply taboo about her existence, and even the Jun Chi department itself is also worried about her high merit.

She wasn't born for war, but once she stepped into battle, she would enter a state of pure murder that would strike fear into the hearts of both the enemy and the enemy. However, in ordinary times, in life, it is said that she is an elegant lady who yearns for a refined life, and she is especially fond of many human cultures.

"Youxuan, this name, could it be ......"

Ning Yue hurriedly turned the page, only to see that there was only a line of small characters recorded on the back of the page of the picture, and there was also a translation of the annotation.

Battle Divine Daughter Youxuan, the last battle, the year of the demon race, the seventeenth year of Xuanye.

And the next page suddenly made his heart tremble.

Missing.

There was still a very thin tear mark left at the end of the page, and judging from the gap, I am afraid that it was also a long time. Perhaps, before the book was annotated, that page was gone.

The later record is that the Demon Xuan's Chosen Emperor Ke Fuxing was defeated and killed on the spot in the human territory, and the great war that planned to completely enslave the human race was lost. The rare unity of the nine divisions of the demon race decomposed again, retreated to the land of the demon realm, and fought with each other for power, giving humans a rare respite. And it's been hundreds of years of calm.

At the same time, the unification of the era set by the Demon Chosen Emperor Ke for revival ended only at the beginning of the second year.

What does this missing page say? Why is there no record of Youxuan, and what does the last battle mean? Youxuan is from the Jun Chi Department, why did the time of the Great War become the Xuan Carving Department when the nine tribes of the Demon Clan temporarily commanded it? If the war fell, the picture of her shouldn't be like this......"

Fingers carefully caressing the torn page of the wreckage, Ning Yue frowned.

"Who is deliberately trying to hide the truth from the past?"

"Huh? Are you also keeping an eye on this position? I remember that when my father was flipping through this ancient book, he also stayed here for a while, and finally shook his head and sighed, and put the book back on the shelf. After so many years, history cannot be rewritten with the absence of records. If someone had deliberately hidden it, he would not have been able to erase all the records. It's just a record of the historical materials of the demon race, which is rare in the borders of all countries, and if you are curious to know the answer, there will be no results here. ”

On the side, Twilight Yinyin was holding a book, looking at Ning Yue and shaking her head and smiling.

Ning Yue glanced at the book in the other party's hand, and was surprised to see that it seemed to be also written by the Demon Clan, and he could vaguely see that there was another line of small text annotated under each line of text. Moreover, there seems to be a lot of illustrations in that book, interspersed between the text, rather than a picture on the entire page.

In this regard, he couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

Hearing this, Twilight Yinyin lifted the book in her hand and turned the cover towards Ning Yue. But soon, she also realized that there was no note on the cover, it was all strange words of the demons, and hurriedly turned around again, showing the spread out pages of the book in the other party's sight.

"Chess. Demon chess originated from the demons, although it has produced a large number of tactical derivatives and changes after being introduced into the territory of human beings, but there are still some ancient chess game tactics derived from the demons, which still fascinate the people of the world today. ”

"You're really obsessed with magic chess."

Shaking his head and smiling, Ning Yue flipped through the ancient books in his hand again, but the rest of the records were basically some trivial historical materials about the demon race, some small-scale battles against human beings, or the internal battles within the nine demon clans. And I don't know if it's because of the position of the demon who wrote this book.,Some things are very vague.,It seems to be deliberately vague.。

In addition, due to the passage of time, the ink on some pages has faded, and the original record is not recognizable at all. Moreover, the missing page is not limited to the one just now.

Flipping through the whole book, there seemed to be no longer anything of interest, Ning Yue stuffed the book back on the shelf and continued to look for the rest of the books. However, at present, the rest are mostly direct translations, rather than annotated translations based on the originals. And because after the battle of the Chosen Emperor, mankind has been given hundreds of years of peace, and the things recorded are trivial and of little value.

"Xiao Yin, after that calm a thousand years ago, there is a record of the battle between humans and demons once again, is there a record here?"

After reading the book in the corner, Ning Yue turned his head to look.

I saw Twilight Yinyin half-leaning on the bookcase, her left thumb in her cherry lips, and her right hand holding the chess book in one hand, fascinated by it.

Helpless, Ning Yue stepped forward and patted Du Yinyin's shoulder, and then said, "Xiao Yin, what about you?" ”

"Huh?"

With an exclamation, Du Yinyin came back to her senses, listened to Ning Yue's request, raised her hand and pointed to the bookshelf, and said, "In the opposite corner, there seem to be a few historical records about the demon race, and the year is relatively close to the present. It's just that there's not necessarily what you're looking for. ”

"Thank you."

"By the way, there's one more thing you can keep in mind." Suddenly, a trace of displeasure seemed to appear in Twilight Yinyin's expression, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she instructed in a deep voice: "In the academy, in public, don't call me Xiaoyin, understand?" ”

The corners of his mouth curled, Ning Yue nodded, waved his hand around the bookshelf, and walked to the other side. I saw that there was someone else over there, a tall and thin young man, who was holding an ancient book and turning the pages quickly, as if he was looking for something.

Ignoring him, Ning Yue walked to the far corner, and his fingers quickly swiped over the ancient books on the shelves. His goal was obvious, and on the spine were ancient books in words he didn't recognize.

Soon, he found his target, pulled out a copy, and after quickly turning through dozens of pages, he shook his head and sighed. That record was the skills of the demons in planting and grazing, and it was not the same thing as what he was looking for.

When the book was inserted back on the bookshelf by Ning Yue, the young man who happened to be reading the book on the side also put the ancient book in his hand back on the shelf. The location of the two books, very close.

At this moment, the two subconsciously glanced at each other and smiled at each other amicably.

"Friend, I don't know what kind of book you're looking for? Maybe I flipped through it just now and can give you some suggestions. The young man's smile was soft, and there was a natural friendliness that made one want to believe.

Nodding, Ning Yue replied: "I want to look at the historical materials of the defeat of the Demon Chosen Emperor thousands of years ago, the human race has passed the period of relaxation and started a war with the demon race again, I don't know if there is any?" ”

Suddenly, the other party looked pensive, and after his fingers quickly brushed over a row of books, he pulled out a relatively new one and handed it to him.

"I don't know when a large-scale war will start again after that great war a thousand years ago. But this book records some of the large-scale battles that the demons have fought against humans in recent decades, not only on the borders of all nations, but also in the rest of the regions including the Ranwu Prefecture, you can take a look. ”

"Thank you."

Although he didn't really want to read this book in his heart, Ning Yue still took the book with a smile. At the same moment, he noticed the badge pattern on the side of the collar of the young man in front of him, and his heart subconsciously sank.

There is also a slender slash interspersed among the three pale silver horizontal bars. According to Chifengdi, this is the highest rank among the students.

At the same time, the young man noticed Ning Yue's gaze, and subconsciously looked at the position of his collar, and said with a faint smile: "Seeing that your age should be one or two years younger than me, there is no need to care too much about this level in the academy." Maybe you'll be able to have this level when you've been in school for as long as I do. ”

"Thank you." Ning Yue nodded again and opened the book he had taken.

However, the young man's words did not stop there.

"It's not easy to enter this attic without a bar, and it seems to be coming specifically for the books of the demon race. Let me guess, could it be that you and I have the same purpose, planning to go off the rails, learn from the combat style of the demons, and make dangerous moves in the upcoming cutting-edge competition, and win by surprise? ”

"Huh?"

In an instant, Ning Yue's action of flipping through the book stopped, and he turned his head in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party's reason for reading the demon books here would be like this.

"Hey, looking at the way you look, I know I'm wrong. It's almost time, so I'll take my leave. If you're also participating in the New Talent Competition, you might be able to bump into me then. At that time, don't be too quick to expose the demon formation battle method I borrowed. ”

Laughing and waving away, the young man's pace was very fast, and he disappeared in an instant.

Ning Yue rubbed his chin and muttered, "What a strange person...... However, with his level, seeing my barless badge can still be treated so kindly, I'm afraid it's rare in the academy, right? Judging from his words, he will definitely participate in the new competition, and I hope that when the time comes, he will not bump into him. ”

Three horizontal bars and one slash, students at this level are destined to be strong enemies. Moreover, in the short contact just now, he vaguely felt that he couldn't see through the depth of the other party at all.

Continue to flip through the books in his hand, because it is the historical materials of the last few decades, there are some things that Ning Yue has heard of. For example, the last time the nine divisions of the demon clan were unified was more than twenty years ago, and the peerless powerhouse known as the True Martial Demon Emperor made a move that shocked both the demon worlds after the unification.

A truce was declared between the two tribes, and Qiu did not commit any offense and did not interfere with each other.

And in this book, there is also a more detailed record of this point, which made Ning Yue feel a little interested and turned the page again and again. Until, a scream from across the bookshelf interrupted his addiction.

"Get out!"
