On this day, Mayor Finch not only experienced great joy and sorrow that he had never experienced before, but also experienced a special feeling of anger to the extreme, fear to the extreme. His mood was like a small boat in a storm, constantly tumbling back and forth between the crests and troughs.

On the other hand, Luca's spell casting was a great success.

It took him more than a day and a half to master the Joy Technique, but the next three emotion spells were all done in one go, and he even had some experience in the subtle control of emotional intensity.

When he left in the evening, Finch asked with a sad face, "Can I take a leave of absence tomorrow?" ”

"You won't use it tomorrow. "Shut up and make a decision for Luka, "Everything he needs to practice has already been completed, and he can't use a living person as a target to practice other spells." ”

Lukka nodded, picked up the stone paperweight and handed it to Finch.

When the dwarf's figure disappeared into the doorway, he turned back to shut up and asked, "Now you can break through to the next level, right?" I feel like I'm going to become a spiritual master. ”

Shut up and tilted his head to look at him: "It's a little smoother, you don't know what your surname is? ”

"And this spell?" Lukka scratched his head.

"I said, do you only read the current page of the book, and you don't read the table of contents or the introduction?" Shut up and finally understood the reason why this idiot mage could cast very advanced spells, but the basic knowledge in his mind was pitiful.

"I'll look wherever you turn over. Lukka looked innocent.

"Forget it, that's all you guess!" Shut up and shook his head helplessly, "However, you can indeed level up." Have a good night's rest tonight and try it tomorrow. ”

"Good. Lukka said as he walked towards the door, ready to join the dinner.

"Wait, where is that circle book you were talking about?" asked Shut Up.

"It's on the shelf behind the desk, you look for it yourself, and the cover is dark brown cowhide. Luca said.

"Got it, get out!" shut up and flew to the shelf and rummaged through. As an "automatic book search device", it is instinctive to put all the books and catalogs it can find in its inventory.

After dinner, Lukka chatted with Ollie on deck, confirmed the route with Crete, went to see Phil's re-established laboratory on the ship, and finally watched with great interest the goblins and the gnomes, and then staggered back to the captain's room after a verbal fight over the demarcation of the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he was startled.

Lying on the desk with his paws facing to the sky and his wings spread out, he looked terminally ill.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Luca as he ran to his desk.

"What's the magic circle book? I've searched all the shelves, and I'm almost exhausted. The parrot said half-dead.

Lukka looked up and saw that everything was in disarrays on the shelf behind his desk, and many of his collections had been thrown to the floor.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes? isn't it?" Lukka gave a strange look and took the dark brown book from the most prominent position on the shelf.

Shut up and jumped up from the table, stared at him and said, "Are you practicing spiritual spells and ruining your brains?

Luca's eyes widened, "What, you can't see this book?

Shut up but don't think there's anything wrong with his eyesight, no matter how he explains it, he thinks he's playing tricks on himself. In order to verify this, the parrot flew to the air, summoned most of the crew, and after confirming them one by one, could only admit in frustration that everyone here could see this thick book, except for itself.

With its head down, it paced back and forth on the table, peeling a peanut and putting it in its mouth with each turn. When a hill of peanut shells piled up on the table, it finally dawned on me.

"I see!" cried the parrot, "this, it must be out of print!"

"Out-of-print protection? This can also stump you, aren't you a professional pirate?" Luca asked.

Shut up and snorted from his nose: "Some mages are narrow-minded, they always feel that the works they write cannot be casually seen, so they set up a magic barrier on the book, so that all methods of copying the book are invalid. Try it, take a pen and copy a page yourself and see if you can copy it. ”

Lukka picked up the quill and gave it a try. Sure enough, as Shut Up said, whether it is words or graphics, as long as they are the same as the content of the book, the traces of pen and ink on the paper disappear immediately. He could write comments on the contents of the book and record his experience in using it, but he wanted to write down a transcript of the contents, but not a single ink remained.

Shut Up can now act as a photocopier, and the book must have detected it, and simply blocked it from its own existence.

"It's too narrow-minded!stingy!It's a disgrace to the mage world!'s hindering the progress of magic!" Shut up and grumble loudly.

"What kind of mage would make such a book?" asked Luca.

"It's not uncommon for me to go back hundreds of years since I was created. However, after a revolution in the field of education, the practice of hiding knowledge in a small circle of people is no longer popular in the wizarding world. Shut up and replied.

"That makes sense," Lukka nodded, "this book is probably Selva Fes, the archmage who instructed us, and he lived in a time that wasn't close to us. It was still possible to make a book like this in those days. ”

Shut up and still puff up, and the fact that I can't add this book to my own index is not so easy to let it go. Still, it did its job to provide a lot of information.

"This kind of out-of-print book is generally of high value, and it often records some spells that are rarely seen in ordinary times. "However, there are also some old perverts who add this kind of enchantment to things that are not valuable, and I heard that there is an illustrated book of "Spring in the Garden"......"

Lukka coughed lightly: "Let's get down to business, it's useless for you to look at that kind of atlas." ”

"Okay, you said this book is mainly about magic circles?" asked Shut up.

Lukka nodded.

"That's right, Selva Fes is one of the best circle masters in the history of magic. Shut up and said, "I can't see the content, I can't explain it for you, but since this is a book by Selva Fes, I must not let it go, and you can memorize everything you can understand! ”
