Chapter 39: The Book of Magic
After perfunctorily sending away the girls who came up to inquire about their situation, Wei Jun went upstairs to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
After walking downstairs to the hall of the tavern, it was already open for business, and the girls were busy in the hall.
When Wei Jun sat down at his small table, he found that his dinner had already been prepared for him.
However, Wei Juncai had just taken a bite of the big flesh and bone in his hand, and his face changed.
Silently picking up the water glass next to him and taking a sip, Wei Jun smiled speechlessly, and asked Hestia who was passing by him.
"This, you did?"
It's still the original recipe, and it's still the familiar taste of noon!
"Uh-huh, that's right. Of course, Ciel also has half the credit. How does it taste and is it delicious? ”
Hestia stopped and looked at Wei Jun with anticipation and pride.
Wei Jun hesitated slightly, and asked Hestia.
"Do you want to tell the truth, or do you want to lie?"
There was no need for Wei Jun to explain it personally, Hestia also understood what Wei Jun meant, and his little face collapsed instantly.
"Isn't it really delicious?"
"Well! It doesn't taste much better. ”
Wei Jun admitted very dryly, but when he saw Hestia's lost appearance, he couldn't help but add.
"But I'm not going to waste your minds, I'll take care of all the lunchtime share."
"Really?!"
Hearing Wei Jun's words, not only Hestia laughed happily, but even Xi'er, who was working in the distance, couldn't help but evoke a bright smile.
"To be honest, I'm very happy to be able to eat the food you cooked for me.
But it would be nice if you could ask Greta and the others for advice when you cook.
After all, when it comes to cooking, Greta and her family are professionals.
If you can learn a thing or two from them, you will definitely make a better level of cooking. ”
To be honest, if this kind of food comes for a few more days, Wei Jun really can't guarantee that his stomach can control it.
"This ......"
Hestia listened to Wei Jun's words and became a little overwhelmed.
In fact, when Hestia and Ciel were cooking, Greta and the others also had the intention of instructing her and Cier, but she and Ciel refused, and the two stubborn donkeys had to do it themselves.
"Hey! That lazy guy over there, don't you see that there are not enough people in the store, and you plan to make the guests' meals wait until when they are served! ”
Hestia, who originally wanted to say something, was directly frightened by Aunt Mia, and ran to work without saying a word.
Hestia ran away, but unfortunately Wei Jun didn't escape either.
"And you, this guy, usually forget it, don't affect the business of the tavern to the old lady when the tavern opens."
Regarding Aunt Mia's reprimand, Wei Jun could only nod with a wry smile.
Fortunately, Aunt Mia just taught them a few words casually, and she didn't mean to catch them.
After Aunt Mia stopped roaring mode, Wei Jun shook his head with a wry smile.
Aunt Mia is good at everything, but her temper is really difficult to compliment.
Raising his hand, Wei Jun wanted to take out the adventurer's manual he had placed there from the book bar on the side as usual.
However, Wei Jun was stunned when he stretched out his hand, because somehow there was an extra white book on his shelf.
Taking the book in his hand and looking at it, Wei Jun asked Aunt Mia behind the counter suspiciously.
"Auntie, did you put this book here?"
"Well, the book? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can read books, and I guess some of the guests left behind?
Coming to the tavern for a drink and bringing such a thick book with you is such a strange thing that only those haughty elves would do! ”
Dwarves and elves have not dealt with each other since ancient times, and it is normal to say two bad words behind each other when there is nothing to do.
Wei Jun looked at the thick book in his hand, and felt that he was almost powerless to complain.
"Joon, the book in your hand ......"
Xi'er, who was passing by Wei Jun with food, was slightly stunned when she saw the book in Wei Jun's hand.
"Xi'er, did you put this book here?"
"Not really, it's just a little weird, can you lend it to me?"
Xi'er put the things in her hand aside and asked Wei Jun.
"Oh, here you go."
Wei Jun handed the book in his hand to Xi'er.
Xi'er smiled and took the book from Wei Jun's hand and looked down.
It is a very heavy book, the cover of the book is painted pure white, and there is a hint of antiquity wafting on the paper.
The writing is engraved with irregular geometric patterns, and the title of the book is not recorded anywhere.
Flipping through the cover, Ciel just glanced at the contents a few times, and then closed the book with a 'snap'.
It's just that Xi'er's originally ruddy little face suddenly became a little pale.
"Xi'er, are you alright?"
"Huh?! It's okay. ”
That being said, Cier's expression didn't look like she was fine.
"What's wrong, Cier!"
Aunt Mia naturally saw Xi'er's abnormality.
"Mia's mother, this book ......"
"Bring it to me."
Ciel hesitated for a moment, but handed the book to Aunt Mia.
Aunt Mia's expression became surprised the first time she took the book.
Raising her head to look at Xi'er, who was smiling wryly at herself, Aunt Mia couldn't help frowning.
Aunt Mia's expression made the girls who found out about the situation here a little surprised.
After all, they had never seen Aunt Mia, who was still a first-class strength adventurer, show such a distressed expression.
Just when the girls were feeling incredulous, Aunt Mia cast a taboo glance at her hand, and said to Ci'er in a slightly deeper voice than before.
"Put it back where it was, leave it alone, if its owner forgot to take it, he'll come back and take it."
Aunt Mia returned the book to Xi'er, and finally looked at Wei Jun with a strange and complicated expression.
Xi'er took the book and stood in place, thinking for a while, but finally handed the book into Wei Jun's hands.
"Joon, this book should be able to give you a lot of help, do you want to read it?"
"Huh?!"
Looking at the book in his hand, Wei Jun was stunned.
The performance of Xi'er and Aunt Mia just now Wei Junke saw it in his eyes, as long as he wasn't stupid, he could see that there was something wrong with this book.
Wei Jun already had a guess about this book, a guess that made him feel chilled.
He was targeted by Freya, and the appearance of this book is the best proof of this!
Seeing Wei Jun's sluggish appearance, Xi'er continued to speak.
"I also want to be a Joon power like Hestia......"
“......”
"After all, that's all I can do......"
Wei Jun really wanted to say don't make trouble, is your mother's thing so easy to take!
But when the words came to his mouth, Wei Jun swallowed them back stiffly.
Magic!
The allure of these two words was too great for Wei Jun, so big that he didn't know how to refuse.
The book in Ciel's hand was a magic book, a kind of book that made it possible to master magic compulsorily.
It can be said that it is the key that unlocks Wei Jun's path to magic.
Refusal?
Maybe there is no difference between refusing and not refusing, even if she rejects herself, will Freya let herself go.
That's an affirmative sentence, right?
"I, okay I see, give it to me. And also...... Ciel, thank you. ”
Instead of thinking about how to escape from reality, it is better to think about how to enhance your strength.
Escape?
How to escape, maybe Wei Jun can escape from this world, so that he can indeed avoid Freya's threat.
But let him abandon everything here and run for his life?
Wake up, he's not that!
Since there is no way to escape, there is only one way to the end.
The worst result is to be given OOXX by Freya, what's the big deal.
Is he a pure man still afraid of being forced by a beautiful woman, not to mention that the other party is still a beauty god.
Didn't you fantasize much about how to be OOXX by a beautiful woman before?,If it's really pushed back, it's a wish.。
As long as you don't get killed by Freya's trial halfway, you won't lose anything about this wave!
Putting aside those messy thoughts, Wei Jun took the magic guide book from Xi'er's hand, and returned to the upstairs room with Xi'er's complicated expression.
Taking off his shoes and sitting on the bed, Wei Jun opened the magic book without a title with a nervous expression.
Turn the first page.
"Autobiography, Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, the most beautiful magical girl in the world is me~Fanfan: Let you become a master of magic~』
"What the hell!?"
After a few quick glances, Wei Jun skipped this content without hesitation and turned to the next few pages.
"Modern magic that goblins can understand! Part 1
Can't!
If only goblins could learn magic, the world would not be turned upside down.
Although the beginning of this magic book was a little improper, the title of the next chapter made Wei Jun's eyes light up.
"Magic is divided into two categories: innate and acquired.
Innate refers to what of course has to do with the quality of the object, the roots of the race.
The ancient magical races, with their underlying talents, made it possible to achieve the early acquisition of magic through practice and rituals.
Although there are also biased attributes, most of them have powerful and wide-ranging effects. ”
Because this magic guide book was compiled in a common language, Wei Jun could also understand it.
But what the hell are these tiny words that wander from line to line?
Archaism? Numbers?
The important thing is that Wei Jun can't understand the meaning of these words, aren't these symbols words?
I couldn't understand Wei Jun and didn't pay attention to it, compared to exploring these strange words, the content behind the magic book was more attractive to Wei Jun.
Turn to the next page.
"The acquired system also has the possibility of germination through the medium of [God's Favor]. There are infinite forks in the road without rules, and they are greatly affected by [Experience Points]. ”
Unlike the Sacred Text, it is not like the language of various subhumans.
There is no uniform form, complex and strange group of symbols.
...... by this style The sea of words swallowed up.
Turned a page.
"Magic is interest, and that factor is primary.
What do you care about, agree, hate, long, lament, revere, swear, longing for?
The fuse is always present in itself. The Grace of God reveals the purest part of one's heart. ”
[Painting] appeared.
It has a face, it has eyes, it has a nose, it has a mouth, it has ears, it is a human face.
The face of a man with his eyes closed in dark handwriting.
The face of the article.
Continue to the next page.
"Ask if you want, smash if you want, impress if you want, and the mirror that does not allow hypocrisy is ready."
Wrong! That's my own face!!!
Wrong! Is it a mask, or is it another self!?
Turned another page.
"So, let's get started."
His closed eyes opened, and Wei Jun heard a voice from the deepest part of his heart.
The black aura of words runs through Wei Jun, and the small lips formed by the short words weave the words.
Keep turning the page.
"What is magic to me?"
The ghost only knows what magic is, and his own perception of magic is very hazy, only that it is a very tall thing.
A move to improve your strength?
A special move to kill enemies?
Page.
"To me, magic is?"
Strength!
Extremely powerful power!
It is not a shield for guardians, nor an item to heal the wounds of others, but a weapon to destroy the weak, a blade that controls the life and death of others!
Page.
"What is magic to me?"
Stuff?
What is magic?
In the next second, what Wei Jun saw was darkness, boundless and endless darkness engulfing everything.
In this endless darkness, there is no living thing, no light source, no sound, only the darkness itself can exist here.
"What do you want to pursue in magic?"
Become stronger, become stronger than anyone else, even if ......
Looking around, the darkness was still boundless.
Even if you are forever trapped in this darkness!
"That's all?"
If you can, if you can, if you agree.
I want more myself!
"It's really greedy."
Perhaps, so.
"But, isn't that me?"
Wei Jun suddenly saw that he in the book had an inexplicable smile at him.
In the next second, Wei Jun's consciousness sank into this darkness.
