"I forgot to ask for your name, I'm just too hungry for your knowledge, and occasionally I forget the proper etiquette, you shouldn't mind, right?"

"Fisher Benavides."

"Oh, no problem, Fisher, that's a good name... It always reminds me of those dragon races in the Dragon Court. ”

Fisher and Jasmine walked down the stairs on the second floor, and after answering Sir Shu's words, he nodded beside Fisher and circled around.

Siat and Anna looked at Fisher at the same time, especially Anna, who obviously couldn't wait, she had just heard the words of Sir Book, and frowned slightly,

"We can't wait until the morning to get in, and if we wait, there's a good chance that Blake will come over!"

"There's no way, if [Hidden Magic] is designed here, we can only wait for a specific opening time, there are three ways to open Hidden Magic, and the other two need to be handled by designers, and the magicians who designed this magic decades ago don't know if they're still there..."

According to Sir Book's reminder, Fisher, who had a stock of knowledge in his head, quickly thought of Blake's means of burying magic here, and it was likely that he had used a hidden magic in time.

As we all know, magic works by prying the reverberations of the world, so consider the following two questions:

Will it respond to the magic of the world at any time of the day?

If they all respond, is the effect necessarily the same?

A: While the world responds to prying at any time, the intensity of each reverberation varies from subtle to noticeable.

The world's response will change sensitively with time, geographical location, and other factors, and some reverberations will be enhanced or weakened under certain factors, such as magic with the moon and light as the ring will be strengthened during the night, and there will also be magic that is enhanced during the day.

According to this theoretical extension, if we design a magic so that its triggering standard just reaches the intensity that requires a specific amount of time, and it will not appear until a certain reverberation intensity, then this constitutes the most basic [hidden magic].

However, even the most basic forms of covert magic require a very high level of engraving skills, as the engraver needs to have a keen sense of the level of reverberation.

Only one-third of the certified members of the entire Magical Association can engrave such magic.

If the magic is a little higher, to a level similar to that of Mr. Haytham, then you can also make the hidden magic more "hidden", for example, by requiring a specific person and a specific password to make the magic work.

This kind of hidden magic is usually engraved in the cracks of the world, which is why Fisher can't detect the engraved magic fluctuations on the spot, but then again, if the Blake Treasure Vault is very simple, the royal family will not fail to discover that there is a magic here for so many years.

According to Lord Book, Fisher speculated that the library was engraved with two nested hidden magics.

The first is the simplest covert magic, which can only be awakened during the daylight when the mechanism is combined according to a specific physical arrangement, and this magic will show a "password" to open the inner layer of magic; The entrant will then need to use this password to awaken a second, covert spell that can only be opened during the day.

It's a clever design, and the two-tier insurance requires a lot of preconditions, otherwise you won't even find out if the magic sigil exists.

Hearing Fisher's explanation of this magic, there were still some people who didn't quite understand the principle of Anna pursed her lips but had nothing to refute, she suffered the loss of culture, she could only sit in place unwillingly, hugging her knees and thighs.

The book next to him sighed after hearing this, he didn't know much about the content of magic,

"You're still a magician who studies magic? It's really good, there are a lot of people like this in the human race... I basically can't read magic books, so I haven't written down the contents of any magic books, and it seems that you don't need to ask me about magic in the future, so as not to embarrass me. ”

In fact, in most cases, there is nothing to ask, Fisher knows a lot, but he is not omnipotent after all, and sometimes there are doubts, so it is most cost-effective to ask this relic who has recorded a lot of knowledge at this time.

Fisher ignored him, and glanced down at the clock hanging on the wall in the library, it was about three hours before sunrise, but unfortunately it was already autumn, and if it was still summer, the sun would have risen earlier.

"Since there is no way to change it, let's take advantage of this time to take a good rest and adjust our state... Is anyone hungry? ”

Anna and Shyat both shook their heads, Sir Shu didn't need to eat, Jasmine actually wanted to eat, but she watched as everyone else didn't eat, and she closed her mouth tightly to indicate that she wasn't hungry.

In fact, there was no rest at all for these three hours, and everyone's emotions were tense and they didn't dare to relax.

"Walking on the Stars"

Jasmine sat down in the chair next to her to read the book, picked up a book and came down to read, occasionally looking at Fisher next to her with some concern, and talking to him about her aunt.

Jasmine is actually a very delicate girl, and sometimes she doesn't confide in her mind even if she has a lot of thoughts in her heart, because she takes into account the feelings of others.

Even though she knew the difference in the lifespan of the whale race, that her aunt might be nearing the end of her lifespan, and that her aunt might be held hostage by Blake, she still wouldn't say it so that Fisher wouldn't be distracted by what was in front of her.

She actually felt very uncomfortable and burdened, but this emotion would only quietly bloom when she slept at night, and when she woke up, she would always be optimistic in front of Fisher, and every time she turned her head to look at her, she would always smile.

Shyat was a little bored, she originally wanted to learn from Jasmine to read a book, but found that she couldn't read at all, and she didn't even know a few words, so she had to start taking out the quiver behind her, and took out the arrow with the tail feathers wet with water to dry.

And Sir Book, after Fisher had introduced himself, and found that Fisher didn't like him at all, so he floated up to Jasmine's side and explained to her the book "The History of Schwally" that she was reading.

He swore in his heart that if Fisher didn't ask him questions, he would remain silent and not reveal the knowledge recorded in his body.

Emhart never does a book licking, that's his bottom line... Unless this human named Fisher begs for himself!

Anna sat on the floor, her head bowed without saying a word, and Fisher keenly noticed that her calves, exposed outside the hem of her skirt, were trembling slightly, not from the cold, but from the uncertainty of uneasiness, which made her very worried that the operation would fail, and that she could not destroy the relics that had imprisoned her freedom.

If you get closer, you can still hear her whispering,

"Mother God bless... Mother Goddess blessed... Mother Goddess blesses..."

Fisher glanced at her, worried that she would be nervous to the point of collapse, and wanted to let her relax, so he suddenly asked,

"When did you start believing in the Mother Goddess?"

Anna's prayer came to an abrupt end, her face was a little pale, and after hesitating for a second, she turned to Fisher and said,

"A few months after coming to the West Continent, at the Pink Pavilion, my sister said that a guest gave her a symbol of the Mother Goddess..."

As she spoke, she pulled out a metal round pendant from her bosom, on which was engraved the shape of a positive V, that is, the symbol of the "Holy Grail", which symbolized the characteristics of women and represented the power that the mother goddess bestowed on human fertility.

The carrier of the symbol can be not only the sun, but also the star and the half-moon, representing the moon, the sun, and the stars, which are symbols around the mother goddess.

It was usually the item of a church officer, that is, the person who patronized her sister's business at the time was a church member.

"The messenger of the Mother Goddess patronized this kind of business, and you ended up converting to the Mother Goddess..."

Fisher looked at the pendant in her hand and commented.

But Anna smiled disapprovingly, and rubbed the pendant, trying to draw the few calories from the small pendant,

"That guest is the best guest to my sisters, he doesn't beat them, he doesn't choke them by the neck, he doesn't suffocate them, he gives extra tips... So, my sister felt that he was the attendant of the Mother Goddess, and that the Mother Goddess must be taking care of them. ”

Fisher's eyes flickered slightly, and his throat suddenly became a little dry, and he didn't know what to say.

Is it because the Mother Goddess is too kind, or is they too forgiving? Fisher didn't know either.

"How did you come to the Western Continent?"

Fisher originally wanted to light a cigarette, but he groped for a void in his arms, and he forgot that he had changed his clothes, and of course there was nothing in his pocket, so he had to touch his collar and change the subject.

“... I originally lived in the Lu tribe in the south of the Southern Continent, and everyone in the tribe used the tribal name as their surname. For us humans in the Southern Continent, your surname is actually an indication of which tribe you are. My real name is not Anna, this is the name of the Western Continent given to me by Blake, my real name is Laiya Lu, and my father is the patriarch of the Lu tribe. ”

As Fisher listened, he suddenly felt a little familiar, and then he suddenly thought of Rafael, because Rafael's father was also the patriarch of the Namphanthyun tribe, and her fate was somewhat similar to that of Rafael, but in the end it was completely different.

"After the tribe was conquered by the people of the Western Continent, all the men of the tribe were killed, and we women were sold as slaves by merchants. In the end, a businessman who didn't have a business license in the South Continent bought us and wanted us to work in a prostitution house in the West Continent."

"That poor man had no qualifications or money to run a business, so he smuggled us back to the Western Continent in a broken wooden boat loaded with fish, and on board, we lacked water, food, and our sisters were infected with the epidemic, and everyone was on the verge of death. Oh, but when we got to the Nari customs, we were discovered by the Nari officials, and the merchant didn't come to claim us for fear of being fined, and the officials saw that we were infected with the epidemic and were ready to burn my sisters to death. Just as we were being dragged towards the incinerator, Blake appeared..."

"He bought us, healed us, and gave us new clothes to wear. At first, I thought that this old man was sent by God to save us, but then I realized that he was no different from other people from the Western Continent, and even more crazy. Unlike other people from the Western Continent, he is not looking for gold treasures... Next, I watched my sisters being abused to death one by one, and there was nothing I could do about it. ”

"He didn't let me pick up customers, he just asked me to manage the people who were forced to pick up customers and participate in the experiments, I didn't suffer like that, but every time they suffered it was like a knife in my heart... I have no other way but to put me through the same hardships as theirs, in my own way. ”

She clutched her sleeve tightly, but she didn't push too hard, as if she was afraid of pinching her arm.

"When I left the Southern Continent, I once promised my sisters a very naïve wish, saying that one day I would take them back... I also used to resent all the people of the Western Continent, but it was only later that I realized that there are good people and bad people everywhere, and I have been persecuted by Blake, but I have also been helped and inspired by people like you and His Royal Highness Yin Lizabeth..."

"And now, at this moment, I'm one step away from freedom... I was just a little too anxious to destroy the relic that bound me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a mess, you were right. ”

Siat and Jasmine didn't know when they stopped what they were doing, and they both turned their heads to look at Anna who was sitting there with reddish eyes.

Syatt had a similar experience to her, having also traveled thousands of miles from home to a strange western continent in an attempt to change the situation with a little bit of power.

Now Shyat suddenly felt that he was very lucky for Bianna, although the new party didn't care much about himself, and he had to be glad that no one cared about him...

Fisher looked at Anna, her story and Rafael's story were so similar, but the only difference was that she was not a world-destroyer like Rafael, she had no world-destroying power, no corresponding wisdom, only the courage to make a desperate gamble, just like countless slaves who died in obscurity in the route between the southern and western continents, and they would not even leave a tombstone.

Fisher didn't have any expression, just stretched out his fist at Anna,

"After the morning, we'll go and destroy that relic, and then you take your sisters' souls back to the Southern Continent."

“... Well. ”
