Chapter 2: The Reluctant Prince
A little out of place with the bustle outside, the library in the corner of the Nehru family castle was so quiet that even the sound of the pages of the books being gently turned over could be clearly heard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, because it is the day of the coming-of-age ceremony of the second daughter of the Nehru family, the entire library has become unusually quiet. After all, it is so lively outside, all kinds of banquets and celebrations, who is willing to stay in this boring library.
Old Hall, who was in charge of guarding the library at the door, yawned weakly, his eyes misty. He used to be young, and he also liked to join in that kind of fun, but now he is old after all. Chikada's cry came from the trunk of the old locust tree outside, luring people to sleep. But to be honest, Old Hall didn't think that today's library was any different from yesterday or the day before yesterday, after all, the place he was guarding was very quiet, so quiet that he wanted to close his eyes and sleep every time he thought about it.
"Demons and magicians are a group of people who use magic to release spells. ”
"Where does the magic come from, the easiest way is to meditate, meditate ......"
Old Hall boredly used his magical talent, Hawkeye, to observe the movement in the library. In the huge library, there was only one girl sitting on the ground with ducks in her hands, reading hard but seriously, her face was so serious that after Old Hall finished reading, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment. However, for a long time, Old Hall couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself.
"It's a pity! Obviously, he has the blood of the most orthodox Nehru family, but he is born as if he is haunted by "curse". On the outside, it looks like a complete body, but inside I just don't know how. Even a three-year-old child can walk normally, but now at the age of seventeen, he is still unsteady, three steps and one fall, and stuttering, every time he speaks, he has to say the first word twice...... Alas, now that Isatina has been confirmed to have awakened a rare magical talent, her status in the future will definitely be different...... But it's not a bad thing to try it and learn the basics of magic to kill time. ”
In the eyes of old Hall, the girl is like a magician apprentice who has given up on himself for a long time, and then finally has been ashamed and courageous, and now he is working hard. But to be honest, Old Hall didn't think the girl's approach was feasible. Because first, magic is not something that everyone can learn, even the Nehru family, which claims to be a family of magicians, has more than 90 percent of the people who cannot become magicians;
Every time the girl goes out now, she needs a servant behind her to take care of her, so in Old Hall's opinion, it is not feasible for the girl to learn magic, or gamble, to see if she can awaken her rare magical talent in order to regain the status of the eldest daughter of the Nehru family and the respect she deserves. It's not that Old Hall wants to fight the girl, the old Hall also wants to awaken some magical talent that destroys the world and shocks the world, but now, he is also an "Eagle Eye", and then he was sent by the family to the library where the birds come to to do management work. Old Hall had a very formal job name called "Librarian." However, it would be nice if he really managed "magic books", but the problem is that all the books in this library are "enlightenment books". To put it simply, it is to teach you how to go to the street to buy things, how much a Pixar someone else asks, how much money you give, and how much money the other party should pay back you. However, you don't have any money right now, and there's no way you're going to actually get a chance to go out and buy Pixar.
This place only teaches theory, not practice.
Moreover, in order to become a magician, one must learn an important skill - meditation. Meditation is not something that everyone can master, and even the smartest and brightest geniuses have to study for two to three years under the guidance of a trainee magician before they can truly learn to meditate. As for how to communicate with the magic net and release the spell after meditation, it is even more complicated.
On the theoretical side, even if you know the theory, if there is no one to lead you, it is still difficult to move an inch.
Old Hall obviously thought farther and farther, so that when the whole afternoon had passed, and it was getting dark outside, and his stomach began to growl with hunger, he woke up, and then touched his deflated belly, and sighed, it was so late.
"Old Hall, your meal has been delivered!"
The one who delivered the meal was an old aunt, who was the same age as Old Hall, and it seemed that she should be of the same generation.
"Why is it so late today?" asked Old Hall idly.
"There are many guests, and the big housekeeper said that he greeted the guests first, and there are obviously not enough people in the kitchen, so he didn't invite a few more in advance. ”
"Willard, if you can save it, you and I know it. ”
"He is not a province where he should be provincial, but he is not a province where he should not be a province. ”
"Did anything special happen today?"
As soon as the old aunt heard Old Hall's question, the bubble stars suddenly came out and said.
"Old Hall, you don't know, Miss Isatina has now become a 'sweet and sweet', and the princes of the Lacey and Galella countries have come to fight, and they are almost about to raise their swords to fight. ”
Old Hall didn't speak, and continued to listen to the old aunt, but it seemed that the result had long been expected by Old Hall himself.
"But in the end, it was the third prince of the country who prevailed, and he had made an agreement with the lord that he would marry two years later, when Miss Isatina turned eighteen. ”
Old Hall fanned the flames, "What about the country of Galella? ”
The old aunt seemed to empathize, "Who said that you are not angry, the prince of the country of Calera drew his sword at that time and proposed to have a knightly duel with the third prince of the country of Ressy." If you want me to say, I prefer this Galella country. ”
"Oh!? why?" said Old Hall, taking a piece of fat and putting it in his mouth, as if he was ready to listen to a good show.
"First of all, he is handsome, and then he has courage, unlike the third prince of the Lacey Kingdom, who looks snarky and ugly, even if others fight against him as a knight, he actually finds all kinds of excuses to avoid it. ”
Old Hall immediately replied: "I know that I can't beat it, do you still want people to go up to the knight duel? That last...... What's wrong with the country of Calella, they came from afar, they can't just leave willingly without getting anything. ”
The old aunt was about to say this, "Later, I don't know why, the adult seems to have agreed, and the eldest lady can marry the eldest lady to the country of Calella." ”
Old Hall: "......"
After listening, Old Hall suddenly fell silent, and it seemed that he no longer had the mood to watch the play before.
......
In the evening, the evening breeze blows through the hill five miles from the Nehru family castle.
"Don't you have to look at it and leave?" asked Murray, the prince who rode his horse with his back to him, the future king of the kingdom of Calella.
"No, it's the same for everyone anyway. At this time, the prince did not seem to be in a very good mood.
"Although the other party has a physical defect, it is said that his appearance is not bad at all, and he will not be ashamed at all as the queen of the country of Garela in the future. Murray continued.
"Murray, you should know that I only want to revive the country of Calera right now. "Tours.
"Okay, I won't say anything, after I go back, I will immediately have people prepare the dowry and bring people back to China as soon as possible. "Murray.
"You just have to arrange it. "Tours.
When the prince had finished speaking, he rode away on his warhorse. Murray sighed and whispered, "After all, I still don't want to." ”
