Chapter 30: The Fire of Fear

The sky darkened, the sun could no longer shine on the corner where Li Jia was curled up, the wind was a little cold, but Li Jia's heart was very hot. Now he sees everything as gentle and beautiful. The grass was fragrant, the setting sun set the atmosphere, the trees rustled, and even the rocks were carefully screened to block the angle from which others might peep into him, as if they were looking forward to today's date as much as he did. But how much mood did he have to pay attention to them, his every thought was longing for her arrival.

The danger like last time didn't leave a shadow on him, but in the face of burning emotions, danger is no longer the focus of the problem, and it's a big deal not to run far.

A figure ran in the distance, Li Jia stretched her neck like a white goose and looked at it, sure enough, it was her, Li Jia couldn't wait to greet her. The gray figure was so familiar, as if he had known her for many years and should be together every day.

"Li Jia!" Selinda waved her hand and called his name when she was still ten meters away, she would always raise the tail note, which was very exotic, and he heard it itching in his heart, like a kitten's paw scratching him. What a lovely person, Li Jia's head was hot, and she rushed up to give her a hug, but Selinda stepped aside at a fast speed, and he pounced.

Li Jia suddenly felt a hot current surging up his cheeks, and he knew that his old face must have turned red into a persimmon without looking in the mirror. I've only known her for less than two weeks, what's the matter? Fortunately, Selinda didn't seem to be really angry, just pouted and put on a look of disgust. Li Jia scratched her head embarrassedly, and took out a bag from behind her and handed it to Selinda, who was eating and laughing.

"I'll send you!"

Selinda curiously took the bag and found that inside was a small green floral dress. Pointing to his clothes and then to himself, he asked in non-standard Mandarin, "Give it to me?"

Li Jia nodded again and again. She picked up her clothes and looked left and right, looking very fond of it.

"This is my new clothes, you can try it. Li Jia pointed at Selinda and motioned for her to put on this one.

She picked up her clothes and went into the woods, and after a while she came out and had already changed into the dress. Li Jia's eyes were straight when she saw the newly dressed Selinda. The original coarse cloth clothes completely covered her toned figure, and after changing into a dress, the convex and concave concave, and the flame-like crimson hair was draped over her shoulders, which was not much better than the cover girl in the advertising magazine.

Selinda herself was curious about what it looked like in her new clothes, and she swayed from side to side, looking at her dress, not realizing that there was a vacuum under the thin skirt. Li Jia watched her chest rise and fall in amazement, and suddenly felt more blood rushing to her head.

Maybe I should dig up another set of underwear, or maybe I'll have a cerebral hemorrhage at some point, he thought to himself.

———————————————————————

This is the sixth time they have walked around the campus, and Li Jia really enjoys the feeling. No woman has ever adored, admired and relied on him so much. Selinda is so beautiful, if he met such a beauty in the original world, he might not even be qualified to say a word, and now she is holding herself like a bird, like he is all she relies on.

"Li Jia, today, go to the library, okay?" In addition to her beauty, another thing that amazed Li Jia was that she was smart, in just ten days of contact, she was able to communicate with him in simple Mandarin, compared to which Li Jia's Spanish talent should be classified as an idiot.

The library is one of the few places in the school that is lit up at night, and every time she passes by it, Selinda is curious to go in and have a look. Li Jia didn't agree a few times before, her outfit was too obvious. But today, Li Jia feels that her wish should be fulfilled, and that dress is the best disguise.

The school's defense is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, there is no guard at the entrance of the library, and the original card turnstile has long been closed because of the lack of power, Li Jia took Selinda into the lobby from the side.

The library was very dark. Although some people light oil lamps to look up information, it is only the area of a desk that illuminates it. Li Jia had to get very close to see Selinda's curious face, let alone worry about others recognizing her. Li Jia led her to walk, avoiding people with flashlights or oil lamps on the road, and a kind of excitement and excitement that can only be felt in spy war movies surged in her heart.

They walked all the way to the second floor platform of the library, Li Jia asked Selinda to stand in front of the railing of the platform, took out a flashlight to shine in front of them, and for a while layers of bookshelves and dense books appeared in front of them. Li Jia said to Selinda with some pride: "Welcome to the world of books." ”

In the darkness, Li Jia didn't see Selinda's expression as she stared at the books, it was a mixture of shock and fear. As a nobleman and a magical knight, she has seen a lot. But all the books she had seen in the court, the nobles' mansions, and the magician's study together were not necessarily more than one percent of the books here.

Knowledge is power, a proverb handed down from ancient times.

The power of a magician comes from books, not wands. - This is what her magic teacher said herself.

Therefore, whether it is the royal family, the aristocracy, or the magician, they all regard their books as treasures. And there are so many books here and everywhere, there are no guards, no seals, even a butler can take them and read them casually, this is really incredible, how strong should the inheritance of this magician castle be?

She had always believed that she was strong enough to be fearless of any opponent, but at this time, she wavered and panicked. As the saying goes, no matter how powerful an ant is, it is no match for an elephant. At this moment, she felt as small as an ant, and her opponent was as strong as a dragon.

If...... What if they want to conquer the surrounding territories, if they want to be enemies of the Earl's Court, even if they just want the Earl's Court to give way in many places...... How can we fight against a magician with such a background? unless, take these books ......

"This library has a lot of books on our side, let alone yours. You see, heaven and earth, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all kinds of books, what you want. Li Jia's tone was filled with pride.

"Hey, somebody's shining a flashlight on it. At this time, a voice came from below, and then a flashlight light hit Li Jia. Li Jia was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to pull Selinda away, but found that she had caught a void.

"Yo, it's Li Jia!" Li Jia was recognized from afar, Li Jia didn't see Celinda left and right, so he had to shine the flashlight, and found that it was Mao Kai, a high-achieving student in the science and technology group, and the science and technology group also held several joint meetings with the business group to study the possibility of basic chemical product production.

"Oh, Mao Kai. ”

"Those of us who tinkered with flasks and test tubes have to work overtime to check the information, why are you from the business group also here?"

"Hmm...... Now there is no mobile phone available, only to read books. ”

"Who's to say it's not, it's really hard to look up the information now. ”

"What are you looking for?"

"It's not about making three acids and two alkalis. Mao Kai walked over, lowered his voice and said to him, "Those professors and doctors in our science and technology group are going crazy, for more than a week, they can't even get hydrochloric acid, and all the equations are wrong." I told them that it was more important to be more open-minded at this time, and I speculated that there were some unknown elements in everything here that could not be detected for the time being, and they did not believe it...... I'm not going to design an experiment to prove the conjecture. ”

"You don't have to rush, you can take your time. Li Jia said casually.

"Time is running out! Why don't you hurry up and build our own industrial system! How can we conquer this world?" Mao Kai said with a wave of his fist, "This is a good opportunity, Li Jia! Just like the Spaniards conquered the Inca Empire with a small group of men." Why can't we use our technology to conquer these people around us?"

"Why...... We're on good terms with the townspeople now. Li Jia suddenly hated Mao Kai's arguments, and he retorted in a low voice.

"Do you think those noble lords will let us grow big here? impossible, we have moved their money bags, occupied their land, and looked down on their practices, and we will definitely have to fight in the end. ”

"You think too much, right?" Li Jia was tired of hearing Selinda's business, and hurriedly said: "By the way, our team leader also asked me to find a Spanish dictionary, I have to look through it for him, and I'll talk to you next time." ”

"Hey, you people, you just don't want to think far! I said it earlier, it's your life and death!" Seeing that the words were not speculative, Mao Kai pouted and left.

Li Jia and Mao Kai didn't know that when they were talking about conquest, Selinda listened to these words. Are you dead or alive? Sure enough, they were trying to conquer. These sudden people have strength and ambition, and obviously have little affection for the aristocracy. So maybe Pinto was right......

Li Jia waited for him to go farther, so he hurriedly looked for someone, he shouted softly twice, but he didn't see Selinda answer, he found a few rows of bookshelves, but he didn't see anyone. Just as he was in a hurry, a fragrant wind struck, and suddenly a hand held his flashlight.

"Ah, Selinda, where have you gone?" Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone, I'm afraid, hiding. She replied timidly.

"Mao Kai is a typical rhapsodic, don't listen to his nonsense. He patted her hand, "Okay, it's good that you haven't been discovered, you've seen it here, let's go quickly, I'll take you home." ”

"Hmm. Selinda let Li Jia drag her out of the library in a hurry, but no one noticed that there was an extra scroll with a faint red light in the corner of the library......

————————————————————————

When Xiao Chen exited the illusion and woke up, he found that the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" in his hand had lost its brilliance, leaving an empty page. The book spirit had already told him that everyone could only see this book once, and if a meditation space was formed, then in the future, when entering the illusion realm to cultivate, he only needed to sit down and meditate. If not...... , then this person has no chance in this life.

"You're finally awake!" Luo Ling sat on the desk not far away and shouted happily.

"I ...... How long will it take to lose consciousness?"

"Four hours and twenty minutes. ”

"I felt like I was in there for days. Xiao Chen looked at Luo Ling with a wry smile, his gaze suddenly stayed on the corner of her mouth, where there seemed to be a little red, "What's wrong with the corner of your mouth, is that blood?"

"Ah...... Autumn is dry, I'm waiting for you so anxiously that even the corners of my mouth are chapped. Luo Ling naughtily licked the corners of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, "How is the book?"

"Fortunately, you didn't read it, this book is very dangerous, I almost hung up, you may not be able to withstand it. Xiao Chen closed the book, "I have to seal this book for the time being, so as not to be misunderstood." By the way, you can't watch either. ”

Luo Ling raised her eyebrows, but she stopped talking.

Xiao Chen thought she didn't believe it, "I'm by no means alarmist. ”

"It's dangerous, aren't you here?" Luo Ling asked.

"Nine deaths, one life. Xiao Chen roughly told Luo Ling what happened to him in the illusion, and Luo Ling listened very carefully.

"The book spirit also said that not everyone's meditation space is not so safe. Maybe it's just your luck. Luo Ling finally said.

"According to my guess, the more you experience and the more you know, the more room for meditation will be, but the danger will also increase, and there are fewer nervous professors and doctors in the school? Xiao Chen analyzed.

Luo Ling finally agreed with him and asked, "Can you use magic?"

"I'll try!" Xiao Chen hoped that that kind of devil training would bring a direct effect, he quickly closed his eyes and tried to comprehend the changes in perception around him, but there was nothing. He stretched out another hand, concentrating his thoughts on it, but it still didn't change, and he laughed at himself, "You probably need a spell or something to release the magic, right? If you become a magician, others will be jealous and cry." ”

"Try this. Luo Ling handed him two scrolls, which appeared on the bookshelf with the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll".

After Xiao Chen held a scroll in his hand for a moment, he suddenly exclaimed, "I feel it!"

He picked up another one, and quickly added, "This one too! There is a power that echoes me, and although I don't know the effect, I seem to be able to attract them." I can't help but want to spark them!"

Luo Ling hurriedly took back the two scrolls, "Don't be nonsense, until you figure out what they do, I'll keep them." ”

It was getting late, and the two decided to come back after a while to see if they could open more book seals. It's just that when they returned to the school through the underground passage and walked out of the dungeon, they saw that the campus in front of them was lit red by the firelight.

That's the library burning......
