"Starvation" is dying, in a nameless forest in Oakberg, where people die every day, whether civilians or the powerful, there is no escape from the threat of death. Even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are in danger of dying before they become powerful. As long as he dies prematurely, he will not leave his name in the history books of the mainland, and his identity is only the heir of the "starvation" who has died in one of the four horsemen. The Patriarch's use of an unknown length of retreat to reduce the threat of a continent seems to be a good thing for the whole continent, but on the other hand, the Patriarch's retreat leaves time for the darkness of the continent and the respite of heresy, and perhaps war will come one day. So a lot of things can't be explained clearly in a few simple words, and there is a kind of cycle in this world.

August is coming to an end, and the cold of September is coming. And Fercy once again picked up the familiar standard broadsword, and although Deno left, the five-move fighting technique he gave to Furcy remained in Furcy's mind. Galileo remained in the city of Constantine, he was a magician, and he couldn't teach Fersse anything about knighthood, what he could teach was to make Fercy take fewer detours in his cultivation, and teach him how not to waste the few energy in his body. However, on the third day after Foxy woke up, he personally approached Archbishop Camboret, hoping that Archbishop Cambolet would be his inner guide. Things seem to be back on track, and in the midst of this calm, the winter hunting day in Constantine is gradually approaching.

"Today, I'm going to teach you how to use another ability on you, and that's how to use that blood spell on your left hand. Galileo did not teach him anything in Furcy's room, nor did he find an unoccupied room, but took Fercy to the library.

"This continent is full of all kinds of knowledge, techniques, and secret arts, even the magicians who stand at the top of the knowledge dare not say that they have the richest knowledge reserves in the whole continent, all we can do is know more than others, or more. Although you are not a mage, I still hope that you have a wealth of knowledge, whatever it is, it is best to have access to it. If you want to embark on the road of the occult, you don't have enough knowledge. Galileo did not talk about the blood curse when he opened his mouth, but asked Foxy to read more books to increase his knowledge, and he also mentioned things about the occult.

"Do you know about our family's research on the occult?" Foxie was not surprised, after all, his grandfather was a close friend of the old man in front of him for many years, and it was normal for him to say something.

"Your grandfather was such a twin mage, and the secret wasn't a very strong one. Although it was first proposed by your family, there are still two twin powerhouses on the continent, and their strength is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Galileo first took out three unusually thick books, and with a flick of his fingers, he applied a simple levitation technique to the three books, and the dust on the books was not dusted off, but Foxy still read the names of the three books clearly, and subconsciously read them out.

"Rune Carving, Twin Shadows, and ......" Furcy looked puzzled when he saw the last book, "Milton's Paradise Lost?"

"Yes, although none of these three books are directly related to physique, they are three very useful books. Rune Carving details the structure of almost all runes and spells on the continent, including blood spells, Twin Shadows compares dark spells with ordinary spells, and there are many other techniques and methods to learn, including how to transform different gods, and Paradise Lost gives you a better understanding of the relationship between the church and the continent, as well as a glimpse of how to live to the kingdom of heaven. If you are able to read these three books before the spring recruitment, you may be eligible to apply for Deep Springs Academy. The three books fell heavily in front of Fursy, and Furcy felt the ground tremble, the thickness of the three books was almost close to his knees, and there were only five months left before the spring recruitment of the major colleges. Although Galileo wanted to take Fercy directly to the Deep Springs Academy, Fercy himself wanted to try it himself, and the appearance of the Blood Fountain and the winter hunt in Constantine made Francie's immediate departure unfeasible. Since accepting the many things that happened to him, Furcy seems to understand what it means to change and grow in life, and Furcy, who is no longer a stubborn boy and no longer a noble son, finally sees clearly the path he wants to take.

"Speaking of the blood curse that has not yet been activated on your body, according to my research these days, this should be the safest and most troublesome of the three blood curses, this blood curse is much more complicated than the other two. First of all, the initial Blood Bath can increase a person's health recovery ability and speed up physical recovery, but the effect is not obvious. Once the Blood Curse is generated, it can be strengthened by absorbing the power of blood, and in the later stage, the Blood Bath can indeed give people a very strong recovery power, but that is only a historical speculation. There are very few people in history who have received the Bath of Blood, let alone strengthened the Bath of Blood to such an extent, no one has ever done that, even if the Terran Race's own strong man does not make a move, there will be a strong man of the Blood Clan who will take action to wipe him out. But on the other hand, the Blood Bath is almost impossible to be discovered by the Blood Clan, and this silent recovery ability is almost impossible to see from the outside, while the other two blood curses - the Blood-Devouring Edge and the Blood-Weeping Protector are clearly reflected in the appearance, as long as the Blood Clan finds that someone has a blood curse, it must be hunted down by the clan, and those who have those two blood curses are more dangerous. "Even as a mage of the Apocalypse, Galileo's knowledge seems to be as great as that of the sea. Years of training on the mainland, coupled with the teaching at the Deep Springs Academy, had taught the old man a lot, and he was able to make full use of this knowledge, which was the foundation for him to become a powerful mage.

"The Bath of Blood. Felsey gently stroked the blood-like butterfly-like spell on his left hand, a gift from death and a reminder to grow stronger.

"You must now make the most of all the power around you, even in the city of Constantine, even if you sit in the Hagia Sophis, sit above the Inquisition, your safety cannot be fully guaranteed. Don't think that others can protect your life, only your own true strength can ensure that your life is not threatened. Galileo's face became serious and cold, he was usually serious and strict when dealing with magic and his students, because these things were related to life, so he could not slack off.

"It's boring theories that are the culprit that kills people, and if you keep training in such a place, you can train at most a master of theory streams. Galileo didn't expect Francie to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a while, and suddenly began to laugh out loud.

"You kid is just as interesting as your grandfather, every time I say something big, he always leaves me speechless. Is that why you participated in the winter hunt, and you are not afraid of being in danger again after experiencing death?" Galileo's seriousness was broken by Furcy at once, and all that remained on his face was the expression of calm after smiling.

"If a person is afraid of becoming stronger because of danger, then it is better for him to be an honest civilian. I am afraid of many things, but I will not turn down opportunities that can make me stronger, even if this opportunity contains the poison of mandala, I will give it a go. Falsey had an indifferent expression on his face, and he had recently been re-learning the manners and behavior of the nobility, and the expression of no flaws was one of them. He must have to deal with countless nobles in the future, and the best way to deal with them is to use the same way that nobles usually use, as Archbishop Camburet told him.

"I've come to appreciate you more and more, you have the courage to choose death, which many people don't have, and that's one of the keys to becoming stronger. Galileo nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the window and pointed with his right hand to the north, further north than Constantine. "Starting next week, I'll take you outside the snow circle that represents death, giving you two days at a time and a mission, which may not be cruel but not merciful. ”

The Snow Circle, a forbidden place, the source of the wind, snow and cold in the city of Constantine and even in the whole of the north, is a place that even Galileo did not dare to penetrate. The white Scandinavian mountains stretch into the endless distance, the cedars are white, the land is white, even the wolves, leopards, and eagles are white. No one knows where the end of the snow circle is, only legend has it that the end of the snow circle is the North Sea, and in the middle of the North Sea there is the Fallen World Tree, where Ragnarok takes place. This time, Falsey actually asked to go to the snow circle himself, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was himself, anyone who knew him would have thought that he had been manipulated by some necromancer instead of going crazy. The snow circle was not very far from the city of Constantine, and the closest point of the snow circle in the city of Constantine was about less than three hundred miles away. The way to tell if you are in a snow ring is to look at the trees, there are only three types of trees in the snow circle: cedars, Stockholm white oaks, and cedars. As long as there are only these three trees left around you, you will enter the snow circle, and beyond the snow circle there is a huge forest, which is called the Winter Forest.

"It's really cold to stand in such an empty place in such an open place in such a weather, and if you live in such a place for the rest of your life, you will definitely have nothing to love. After Furcy explained the situation with William and Archbishop Camboret, and with William's consent, he and Galileo appeared outside the forest near the snowsphere. When Galileo arranged the complex magic array, Fercy's eyes couldn't move, it was just a casual thing for Galileo, but for Galileo it was like seeing the "Mona Lisa's Smile". Subtle, mysterious, mysterious, even gorgeous, Foxy could no longer use the words he had learned to describe such a magic array, this magic array was so regular, at least he could not see that there was no mistake. For a moment, Furcy had a feeling of regret and a desire to learn magic again.

"Do you regret not becoming a mage?" Galileo was once again pleased with Furcy's reaction, and any mage would like people to look at their work with admiration and admiration.

"It's very exciting, but I don't regret it, and I shouldn't regret making a choice. Foxy glanced at Galileo, and there was only caution and irreversible firmness in his eyes.

"Didn't anyone say you didn't look like a twelve-year-old boy a lot of times? You really look like your grandfather in his thirties now, and I don't doubt that you can get out of the forest beyond the snow circle. The next moment, the magic array lit up with purple light, and disappeared with two figures, one old and one young.

"In two days, in this clearing, I will take you back and test your results. If you can't complete such a simple task, you'd better go back and copy the "Atlas of Continental Creatures" a few more times. Galileo looked at Foxie, who was shivering from the cold, but there was no mercy in his eyes. He respects Furcy's choice, so he will not help Furcy, nor will he pity him, which is a minimum of respect for a dignified person.

"I see. Despite his preparations, Foxie, who had just arrived at the periphery of the snow circle, shivered from the cold, and his face was pale and there was not the slightest trace of blood to be seen. People do have a reason to list this place as a forbidden place, and in the face of the mountains with no end in sight and the cold that can freeze the soul, who else but the gods dare not stop.

"Good luck and hope you can come out in full. Galileo's figure disappeared into the circle again, but this time Furcy remained outside the deserted snow circle.

"To hell with the Atlas of Continental Creatures!" Furcy cursed, spat on the ground, drew the standard broadsword hanging from his waist, and moved his body into the forest in front of him, which represented death.

"Jade is to be carved with a knife, iron is to be sharpened with a hammer, and man can only grow by fighting. Maybe he will be able to surprise me differently when I return to the city. Galileo stood in the little library of Hagia Sophia and looked in the direction of the snow circle. He has already left his doppelganger there, but this time the main character is Furcy, who is just a spectator.

"But Heidewutz still sounds better than Rosberg......" The old man turned and opened the obscure copy of The Golden Section again, but this time with a faint smile written on his face.
