Chapter 11: Lori and the Palace of Wisdom

Pushing open the Gate of Arcan, Leah and Isabella saw a long corridor. On one side of the corridor are nine brass gates with different decorations, each corresponding to levels 1 to 9 of arcane magic.

Ignoring the first-level magic, the two walked into the third door counted from the left.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by the smell of incense. The aroma is very strong, probably to hide the musty smell characteristic of ancient books.

Contrary to the extravagant appearance of the outer perimeter of the Palace of Wisdom, most of the decorations and bookshelves here are made of ancient wood, without dyeing or inlaid with any jewelry, and the dim tree texture reveals a mysterious feeling.

Books as thick as a turn, or even older, parchment scrolls long before paper was invented, or words written on the leaves of ancient trees by elves in ancient times. This qiē, an ancient document that reveals time and wisdom, lies quietly on the bookshelf. Waiting for the mages to flip through it.

The spaced between the shelves is loose, as magic cannot be used, and the movable escalator becomes an extremely important tool for books that are placed high on top.

In addition, there are tables and chairs for reading, and many mages can be seen whispering about something.

"It's amazing, even a magic book like this. ”

Isabella pulled out a stack of documents, yes, a stack. The ancient elven writings written on the huge leaves of the trees were piled up like a small mountain.

The arcane magic described above is also very old, and it is completely different from the standard spells in the Magic Academy. Thankfully. The princess had also learned Elvish, so she had no difficulty reading. The elves are a conservative race, and the language has not changed much from ancient times all the way to the present day. Even until now. There are also many elves who refuse to use the paper they have exchanged from humans and continue to write on the leaves.

The leaves have been soaked in special potions, so they don't rot, and even the handwriting on them is legible to this day.

The reason why the two tacitly chose the arcane part was because little Lori and the princess were unwilling to separate immediately after entering the Palace of Wisdom. You know, Leah will naturally focus on the two doors of time and space in the future. And Isabella also thinks the same way, so that she can choose the knowledge in the side hall to make herself go further in the magic array.

Right now. They all chose the most basic, arcane magic that they could both use, so that they could stay together and spend their first day in the palace of wisdom.

After flipping through the elven books in his hand. Looking at the other books, Isabella had a general understanding of the books in the Palace of Wisdom. To put it simply, the books here vary in difficulty and are very varied.

For example, the arcane side. From the magic of automatic peeling of potatoes. And then to weeding and watering the courtyard regularly, there are many spells that make arcane magic a magic trick in the mouth of a mage.

"Leah...... Huh......?"

Isabella raised her head and wanted to say something to Leah, but she was surprised to find that Leah was doing something very lolit at this time, she stood on tiptoe, regardless of the pair of white rabbits on her chest being pressed into a stack of parchment, and leaned as close to the bookshelf as possible, and then stood on tiptoe and raised her green fingers. Trying to grab a book called "The Arcane Collection".

Sadly, though, the book is not placed very high. But it has still become an insurmountable moat for Lori. Leah tried her best, but she could only look at the book and sigh.

So, she set her sights on the escalator with wheels on the side. Little Lori walked over and began to try to push the escalator next to the book.

But here comes the problem again. In order for the mage to stand on the escalator without losing his balance, the escalators here are capable of carrying at least three people. Even if there is a wheel, it is still not a tool that a little Lori can push.

Hey, who would have thought that the wisdom palace, which is famous far and wide, but also has very strict requirements for mages who enter it, will usher in a little Lori like Leah one day. In this regard, the facilities of this library may not be kind to little Leah.

Anyway, after making sure that all her actions were in vain, Leah returned to the bookshelf, looking at the book she liked, puffing out her cheeks and pouting, and letting out an angry whine like that of a cat's fried fur.

On the other hand, Isabella, who could take the book down very easily, seemed to be cute, and the little Lori in front of her was as cute as the puppy looking at the steaming meat and bones on the table, but couldn't reach it. In short, this animal-like feeling made our princess forget to help Leah, and just put her hand on her cheek with a satisfied expression.

Not only Isabella, but even not far away, several mages were watching Leah smile kindly and with good feelings.

As a result, a certain Lori was treated as a cute thing and watched strongly. With an unwilling expression, she once again pressed her body tightly against the bookshelf, reaching up as far as she could. But no matter how hard she tried, her fingers still couldn't even touch the word "set" at the bottom of the "Arcane Ten Thousand Methods Collection".

Jumping lightly twice, Leah sighed in disappointment after realizing that she couldn't take the book off anyway.

At this moment, the princess, who was dazed by the cuteness, came back to her senses, and she was about to walk over to help Leah take down the book. In the other direction, a teenager walked briskly.

"As a sacred place for mages and a source of wisdom for all laws, the Palace of Wisdom is not a playground for children. ”

He simply took the book down and said it in a sunny and flirtatious tone.

"But since I can come here, obviously this little sister in front of me is a genius?"

Without waiting for Leah's little provocation, he swiped down the hand holding the book and handed it to little Lori in an elegant gesture.

"Ten thousand laws are above.

Saf, it's a pleasure to be able to help you, lovely genius little sister. ”

Finally, he said by his own name.

Leah was stunned, and then carefully looked at the young man in front of her. There was no doubt that this was a local Calois mage, tall and tall, with slightly bronzed skin, and a few restless strands of short orange hair stuck out tenaciously under his flaxen-colored head.

The young man named Saif was dressed in great fancy clothes and carried a gem-encrusted ceremonial scimitar around his waist. It looks like it's the child of someone of great status.

"Oh......"

Leah weakly took the book. To be honest, she was a little uncomfortable with the teenager in front of her. There's no way, little Lori has very few boys, and the Saif in front of her is different from Warriff, who is a bit hippie-style, or Carlisle, who is slightly feminine like the moon.

Saif is like the sun, and he has the feeling that "in other stories, someone as handsome as me is usually the protagonist".

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Saf. ”

However, a good aristocratic education still made Leah quickly adjust her mentality, she held the book to her chest with one hand, lifted the skirt with the other, and bowed slightly.

Even if Leah's weak appearance was only for a short moment, it was still captured by Saif, and the little Lori's blushing expression made the boy cute for a moment, and then he was hit twice by the grace of the curtsy salute.

So, until Leah thanked her and turned around and pulled Isabella away. Saif remained stunned.

However, Saif did not chase in the direction Leah had left, and turned back to where he had been, where an old man with gray hair was waiting for him. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
