CHAPTER XXIX
Under the knife-like gaze of Vice Principal Karajan, Lin Juexiao and Cudi walked up a spiral staircase made of large leaves to the second floor. Cudi felt a chill in his back.
The elf children's living room is a bit like a public library, with large tables and chairs around them, bookshelves full of books on high heights, and even a ladder next to it.
Wide and high walls - it should be said that the tree wall, because this is on the inside of the tree. There are large, uniquely shaped windows on the tree walls, and the windows are wrapped around them with intricate carvings, which look gorgeous.
Like the lobby on the first floor, there are branches and vines everywhere, and plants and books are mixed into a good smell.
"If only the human school was like that. Lin Juexiao looked at this and couldn't help but say.
"It's impossible, the elves have a way to create living space inside the tree, which is their own magic. Cudi said. However, he naturally didn't know that the human school that Lin Juexiao was talking about was actually a school on the earth.
"Hmm—where is the 'Elinner Search Team of the Fairy Academy' going to start?" Lin Juexiao asked, looking left and right, and found that the most books here were. There are also two doors next to it, which seem to lead to where the children sleep.
"Hey...... Cudi seemed happy with the name of the search team, "you know what kids like best? ”
"Okay, then let's start looking for little notes, there should be a lot of them in those books. Lin Juexiao said. Cudi nodded.
Lin Juexiao walked towards the nearest desk, and was about to pick up a magic book to check - the book suddenly grew legs and ran to the side - it was really a pair of small short legs born from under the book, and the feet were still wearing white socks.
Lin Juexiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt very interesting in his heart, and threw himself at the book - it was slipped away again.
"Cudi, the books here will run, haha!" Lin Juexiao smiled at Cudi.
"It's like you've been enchanted by the elves - what can I do? "Cudi was clumsily chasing a book.
At this time, Lin Juexiao moved instantly, and suddenly came to the long-legged magic book, and held it down—it suddenly stopped moving, and seemed to change back into an ordinary book.
"Cudi, teleport. Lin Juexiao said happily.
"Huh?" Cudi was stunned, "I can't teleport, I haven't learned it yet." ”
Cudi had been a disciple of Hans for almost a year, and he hadn't fully mastered teleportation. As a disciple of the great magician Hans, Cudi is naturally gifted with excellent talents—but this kind of space-based magic, the power that needs to be perceived is far more complex than other types of magic—especially calculating one's three-dimensional coordinates in space. For this reason, the speed of the magician's calculation directly determines the speed of teleportation, and has nothing to do with magic.
He turned his head to look, just in time to see Lin Juexiao disappear in place, turning into another magic book that wanted to escape and catching it. Looking at the way you can catch the magic book at will, using teleportation is almost as easy as controlling your hands and feet.
Looks about the same age as me...... Cudi thought stunned.
Lin Juexiao didn't notice it, Cudi was stunned and paid attention to himself. He's looking at the notes from the fairy boys—
"The person who received this note is a fool! ”
"It's dazzling...... The vice principal's hair is so dazzling......"
"Sleepy...... When will class end?"
"Yeboni, how about skipping class in the afternoon? ”
"Anyway, Tressy in the next class seems to like me. She's very popular......"
"Hehe, I heard that Tuxi and the girls are holding hands. ”
"Our secret items have been safely tucked away under our desks. This must not be discovered by the Vice Chancellor. ”
Hmm? Lin Juexiao finally found a note with a clue - under the desk?
"Cudi, I found a useful note. Lin Juexiao said to Cudi.
"Okay, I'll take a look. Cudi immediately walked over.
He picked up the note and looked at it, thought for a moment, and said, "According to what is written on the note, it should be hidden somewhere in the dormitory." ”
"Let's go investigate. Lin Juexiao said, and walked towards the boys' dormitories on both sides, and Cudi hurriedly followed.
Pushing open the door of the tall dormitory carved with the unique pattern of the elves, I saw some beds - the beds in the fairy boys' dormitory were bunk wooden beds, with a small wooden ladder at the end for the upper bunk - but didn't the elves fly?
However, although humans can try to jump to the top bunk, they still have small ladders. Lin Juexiao thought about it for a while, and felt reasonable again. After all, all living things are moving towards an easier and simpler life.
There were picture frames and small blackboards hanging on the walls, as well as large piles of books. On the desk lay bundles of parchment and quill pens stuck in inkwells.
Lin Juexiao and Cudi rummaged under their desks, and soon found a large green leaf full of words in the small drawer-
【Hero Script】
Act I
The third scene
(The curtain rises, music plays)
Phantom: (to the audience) Ah, grief has soaked the world. The last thing my Phantasmal Thief will take is neither a gem nor a work of art, but your worthless life.
God of War: (heroically) Keeper of Light, hurry up, I'm guarding here, and even if the enemy uses it like a tsunami, don't think about me.
Luminous Mage: (sighs) There is no warrior as brave as you in this world! Destroy the Dark Mage with the weapons you used to slash thousands of enemies.
(The lights fade to Fried and the Twin Crossbows)
Fried: (to the crossbows) Elven Queen, even the stars dim day and night in the face of your glorious beauty! It is a great honor for me to stand with you on the same battlefield.
Crossbowel: (to Fried) Dragons, let's destroy the Dark Mage. Our battle has begun, like an arrow from a string.
......
"Isn't this the story of the heroes of MapleStory who sealed the Dark Mage away?, no wonder the lines are ......so passionate," Cudi said after reading the script written on the leaf.
It was not the first time Lin Juexiao had heard the words "black magician", at this time, after reading this script and hearing what Cudi said, he was particularly concerned, and finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked, "Who is this black magician?"
"Don't you know?" said Kudic.
Lin Juexiao shook his head. Hans asked once except when he discovered that he had both fighting energy and magic in his body, and never mentioned it again.
"There was a time when there was an all-out war in the world of Adventure Island. Cudi said.
"Total war?" Lin Juexiao asked, which reminded him of a world war on Earth.
"Yes...... That was hundreds of years ago, maybe almost a thousand years, I don't know, everyone knows a little bit about it. Cudi laughed.
"And what do you know? Tell me about the war. Lin Juexiao's curiosity has been completely aroused.
"All I know is that war, it's called 'Tempest of the Dark Mage'. Cudi said.
"With a terrifying force standing at the top of the world, the Dark Mage has gathered a huge legion in an attempt to reset the laws of the world and launched a war against the world of MapleStory - each of the legion leaders is extremely powerful...... The ordinary rebels from all over the world of Adventure Island are no match for the Legion of the Dark Mage. ”
"What the exact circumstances of the war were, no one knows - only that in the end, the five heroes succeeded in sealing the Dark Mage, but they were also cursed, falling into a deep sleep, frozen, amnesia, etc., and never saw them again. - This is something that everyone knows, otherwise it wouldn't be in the children's scripts. Cudi said. Speaking of this history, he seemed a little excited.
"Why does a black mage have this kind of power?" Lin Juexiao said in surprise.
"Then I don't know. Cudi shook his head.
I didn't expect MapleStory World to have such a history, Lin Juexiao thought to herself.
This is just a true story for him, a person from another world, and it won't touch him too much. What touched him was the revolutionary history of his own country and nation - and for the people of the adventure island world, the victory over the "Hitler" of the black magicians was probably their greatest revolution.
Seeing that Lin Juexiao didn't speak, Cudi said, "Let's go to the third floor to find the girls' notes." ”
"Hmm. Lin Juexiao nodded.
The two of them collected some girls' notes on the third floor—
"I seem to have gained weight lately...... My wings are almost unbearable. ”
"Aha, I also have a boyfriend......"
"Those graduate sisters are so beautiful. But I'm prettier than them, hehehe!"
"Looks like you have a boyfriend, doesn't you? ”
"It's finally done! Really, it took more than a month to make it alone. I've hidden behind a self-portrait with my baby painted on it. I'll leave you alone in a moment. ”
......
"What do you think they're making?" asked Cudi.
"Just check it out. Lin Juexiao said.
"Is it okay to rummage through the ladies' rooms casually?" said Cudi's face turned red somehow.
"It's all about investigating...... anyway," he added.
Lin Juexiao laughed.
The bed in the girls' dormitory is single-tiered, and a vine sticks out of the wall next to the bed, and a light veil hangs. There is also a pot of pink next to the bed, a large ragdoll bear. A copper-trimmed full-length mirror leans against the wall.
Behind a self-portrait, the two turned out several costumes.
"Looks like they're going to get ready for a show!" Cudi snapped into his eyes.
Isn't that a matter of course...... Lin Juexiao thought silently and said, "Yes." ”
"Let's go to the lobby on the first floor and tell Principal Ivana about these findings. ”
"Hmm. Lin Juexiao nodded.
