10 Barriers; Seminar; attempt

"I gradually realized that even if I escaped from it, the distance between my heart and soul never changed."

……

"What they're good at is 'mind' magic."

As soon as the moderator finished speaking, the participants applauded. Representatives of the two Green Dragon mercenaries saluted the other attendees before taking their seats.

After the host introduced the Green Dragon Mercenaries, he continued, "Finally, I would like to introduce the representatives from the Demon Court of the Kingdom of Sprelet, Dean Tucker and his outstanding students! To the same enthusiastic applause, Dean Tucker and Wind Chimes stood up to greet the surrounding attendees. Once they were seated, the host solemnly announced, "Thank you very much to all of you from all over the world for coming to Alex City Library for the triennial World Symposium on Magic, and now we have the eminent Grand Magor, Pala Dax, present to us the results of her recent magical research." Applause welcome, Para! ”

To deafening applause, Para Dax stepped onto the podium, and the audience was full, all eyes on her. The Pala was middle-aged, with a mature and subtle charm, with a solemn and slightly tired expression, and when she finished saluting, the audience was silent.

"She's a great magician." Dean Tucker whispered to the wind chimes.

"Well, the greatest magician." Wind Chime praised without hesitation, knowing that Para Dax was not one of the first to focus on the Saknusem Manuscripts, but she was the most crucial one. Para deciphered a considerable number of words in the Saknusem Manuscript and shared it without reservation, and thanks to her selfless and noble act, magic has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last decade, and has been respected by all magicians, and most of the annotations in the current issue of the Saknuseem Manuscript are the work of her.

It was October 1239, and magicians from all over the world gathered in the Alec City Library in the Kingdom of Aube for the "World Magic Seminar", and Wind Chimes had the honor of participating as the top apprentice in the Demon Court of the Kingdom of Sprelet.

"Friends of the wizarding world," Parra's voice was kind and powerful, "today's World Magic Symposium will be a great record for the future development of magic, and all of you here will be witnesses to this great change, and I will announce to you a new discovery that will change the important science of magic!" ”

The applause was thunderous, and the attendees were excited, and everyone was looking forward to what Parra would say next.

Para held up a book, the Saknusem Manuscript familiar to magicians, but visually much thinner than the current release.

"This is the re-edited Saknusem Manuscript, where we have rewritten the magic spells to make them easier to cast, and even casters who don't have the foundation and talent for magic can master them in a short time; In addition, we have cut out those cumbersome, complex, and meaningless words and sentences to make them more accessible to the public. With these two reforms, magic will become more popular, it will no longer belong to a few people's talent, more people can join us, use magic, study magic, and the study of magic will go further! There was another earth-shattering round of applause, and several librarians shuttled from one to the other to distribute the new edition of the Saknussem Manuscript.

"You can cast magic in the same way as the new version of Manuscript to see if it's much easier than before." Para said from the podium as the magicians began their live demonstrations according to the new Manuscript.

"Really! It's really much more convenient! "Don't wait that long!" "The spell is shortened, and it works!" ……

The library conference hall was full of people, all of whom were appreciating the success of the new edition of the Manuscript.

Dean Tucker also cast some magic as well, and sure enough, he nodded, and then looked at the excited magicians around him, and smiled knowingly.

Wind Chimes did not rush to try to cast a spell, but compared the difference between the old and new editions of the "Manuscript" word by word, and after only two pages, she silently closed the book, and her face became serious. At this time, she appeared to be only sixteen years old, but she keenly noticed that something was wrong.

There were also a few people in the conference hall who were not as ecstatic as most, and the two representatives of the Green Dragon Mercenaries were among them.

For the rest of the day, there was a flood of praise in the room, until the end of the meeting, when there was no real content, and the moderator announced that the day's agenda was over, and the next day would continue with a new agenda.

The excited magicians finally dispersed, leaving the empty library chamber behind.

"Wind Chime, are you going back to the hotel to rest or to go to the city?" Dean Tucker asked, and Wind Chimes said he wanted to continue his visit to the library. "Then you pay attention to safety, if something happens to you, I can't explain it to the princess." Dean Tucker said with a smile and left with the other apprentices.

Wind Chimes visited the Alex City Library and appreciated the history and charm of this ancient library, but her heart was not at all relaxed.

"Princess......" Wind Chimes remembered Lilith and called softly.

Upon noticing Lilith's affection for her, Wind Chime became terrified: she was an orphan who had grown up in a church and had no access to education, but fortunately she had learned a lot of knowledge and skills as a princess, even more so than her peers, but there was one thing she had never realized exactly what her sexuality was.

In the environment where the wind chimes grew up, the presence of "men" was very thin, and because of her status as a companion, the only people she could contact were princesses and some maids. And her heart is always occupied by Princess Lilith, and her heart is thinking about her all the time, and "men" can't squeeze into her life and thoughts. Over time, she loses her interest in the opposite sex and takes care of Lilith with all her heart - the two talk about everything, live, study, and even sleep together......

When Wind Chime discovers that Lilith has moved her true feelings and is no longer the ignorant innocence of a child, she begins to fear that this abnormal emotion will spread - because, after all, Lilith is a princess. So she tried to keep her distance from the princess and avoid those overly intimate actions, but she soon realized that this was self-deception, and her long-standing accommodation and obedience to Lilith made it impossible for her to refuse the princess's wayward request. Wind Chime understands that in the long run, it is only a matter of time before the "barrier" in her heart collapses, because she also likes Lilith from the bottom of her heart, so she doesn't want her to be hurt because of this.

In this way, Wind Chimes began to seek a chance to get out of the castle, and this study trip to the Demon Court was her lifeline. Because of her outstanding talent in magic, she became the premier apprentice in the Demon Court, and also won her the opportunity to travel for a year and a half.

As the wind chimes leave, Lilith shows an unexpected calmness, smiling goodbye to her close friends and sincerely wishing them all the best on their school trip. Lilith's performance relieved Wind Chime a little, but she didn't know that this was actually a reflection of Lilith's emotional maturity.

Since the beginning of the study tour in August 1239, Wind Chimes and other academies, under the leadership of Dean Tucker, have traveled to many countries, seen all kinds of strange things, and came to Alex City, the kingdom of Obei, on time to participate in the World Magic Seminar.

"I don't know what happened to her now...... "Wind Chime has always been thinking about the princess in her heart, although it was her own decision to take the initiative, but now she is also regretting it, enduring the torment of not seeing her best friend.

"Looks like there's something bothering you, miss." A magnetic female voice greeted the wind chimes, and when she looked up, she saw that there were two people, a man and a woman, standing in front of her - they were the representatives of the Green Dragon Mercenaries. "Can I talk to you?"

The three of them found a place to sit in the conference hall, the wind chimes, who were only ten years old, looked very petite in front of the two mercenaries, and the librarian came here from time to time to take a look, worried that the two mercenaries had other intentions. Of course, this worry was unnecessary, because the three of them quickly became acquainted with each other because of the discussion of magic issues, in fact, the age of the two mercenaries was only about twenty years old, and the three of them were also considered to be the same age, and they began to discuss enthusiastically.

"What do you think of the new edition of the Saknusem Manuscript?" The male mercenary asks for the wind chimes.

"The spellcasting process has been simplified, but a lot of important things have been removed." Wind Chimes replied.

The two mercenaries nodded and said, "Looks like you've found out too." ”

Wind Chime took over: "The new version of the manuscript has removed all sentences containing conjunctions, which will lead to ......"

"Causes all fusion magic to be unfinished, right?" The mercenary said, and the wind chime nodded affirmatively.

Therefore, the research results of Pala Dax actually reduce the difficulty of use, but also reduce the upper limit of magical power, and in the future, to use fusion magic, there will be several magicians at the same time...... No, even dozens, hundreds, and magicians cast spells together, and maybe in the future, one person's use of teleportation magic will be a thing of the past. The male mercenary concluded.

"So, is Pala Dax actually trying to hinder the development of magic? There's no way she didn't know that. Wind Chimes speculated.

"Her purpose is unknown...... If her plan is successful, magic will be less difficult to use, more popular, and more useful in various fields, but ...... But this will also have a very serious result - " The male mercenary stopped talking, and the wind chime understood what he was trying to explain.

"You mean use it in war." Wind Chime said in a deep voice.

The male mercenary nodded again, "I didn't expect you to be so smart." Maybe in a few years, people will see a lot of magic in war, and that kind of scene is really unimaginable, may the god of all sources bless it. ”

"So," continued the mercenary, "this new edition of the manuscript is not a gospel, but a curse, and there is definitely something ulterior on Para Dax's motive motives. ”

"She wants the new version of the manuscript to completely replace the old version."

The sudden unfamiliar voice caused the three of them to turn their heads to look at the person who spoke - the Alex City librarian.

"That...... We're just talking about ......," the mercenary explained in a hesitant manner, as the topic they had just discussed was a bit disrespectful to the authority of the wizarding world.

"I heard it all, don't worry, I think the same way as you. And I also know that ...... "the Administrator's face turned unpleasant," Para Dax will forcibly take back the old Saknusham Manuscript after tomorrow's meeting. ”

"Huh?!" The three of them exclaimed in unison, they did not expect that Pala Dax would do such a great job to promote the new version of the "Manuscript". The three of them took out their own old version of the "Manuscript" and rubbed it repeatedly, showing expressions as if they were about to say goodbye to an old friend.

"I'm not going to tomorrow's meeting." The mercenary said.

"It's not good to offend Parra." Said the administrator.

Feng Chime is also holding her "Manuscript" in a daze, this book has been with her for three years, the cover has been wrinkled, the paper has been brown, not to mention being forcibly recycled, even if it is a new one, she will feel very pity and reluctance......

- Wait a minute!!

Another strong thought suddenly welled up in the heart of the wind chime, a copy of the "Manuscript" made her cherish so much, what about Princess Lilith? For a moment, Wind Chime's mind flashed through countless memories of Princess Lilith's daily life—it was these overly ordinary trivialities that made her ignore the most important point: did she really have to wait until the day of separation before she could know how to cherish it? Maybe she is afraid of the princess's feelings out of "after all, she is a princess", but does Feng Chime's own emotions really have to be hidden forever?

Cracks began to appear in the "bulwark".

……

"Do you really have to get to the point of 'knowing how to cherish when you lose', and admit that your emotions are not good early?"
