Walked all the way to John's side and sat down, Leo didn't understand why Gutierrez was targeting him.

"This guy must be looking at me handsome, so he thinks it's not good. He came to such a conclusion in his mind, and then lowered his voice and asked John, "Who is going to clean the library today?"

John glanced at Gutierrez, and seeing that the other party was not looking this way, he quickly pointed to the dining table next to him as quickly as he could, "It's Isha." ”

Leo tilted his head and shifted his gaze to the girl next to him.

With long blond hair, as if the sun is on her shoulders, a goose egg face, and watery blue eyes, she looks delicate and cute. He is about the same age as himself, with a slender waist, but his chest is quite well developed.

"Isha, the illegitimate daughter of a certain steward, is on the verge of being promoted to a superior servant. Being beautiful and in good shape is the goal of all boys' dreams. Leo immediately picked up the information from memory.

Just as he began to wonder how he could have a chance to enter the library, Isha happened to look away as well.

Noticing that Leo was staring at her, the girl immediately blushed, quickly buried her head, and pretended to concentrate on eating, but the corner of her eye couldn't stop Leo from glancing here.

"It's a delicate situation, and maybe there's a real chance. Leo smiled slightly as he remembered many of his previous experiences with this body.

Two days ago, when the library was being cleaned, he couldn't help but look through a book with curiosity, but he was bumped into by someone, and he was given a hundred lashes for this, and almost lost his life. It is precisely because of this punishment that Leo now has the opportunity to occupy this body.

Even though he still had a dull pain in his back, he still had to go to the library.

Because then the name of this book is "A Beginner's Guide to Meditation"!

Although I don't know where it came from or who made it, the name alone is enough to make Leo's blood rush, and it must not be too bad to be included in the Earl's library.

"The cornerstone of magic, the source of magic, meditation. If I can take a look, I can ask the professor to store the content, maybe a few minutes will be enough. He thought silently, "As long as you have the opportunity to become a mage and gain power, it is worth taking any risk. ”

Before falling asleep the day before, Leo had certainly thought about leaving and going somewhere safer, which was basically impossible from the current situation.

If the escaped contract servant is caught, there is only one way to die. Not to mention that there are many strong people in the Joseph family, it is easy to track down an ordinary person. It's that he was able to get away with it, and this world is still full of evil races such as orcs, gnolls, trolls, and ogres, and if he falls into the hands of these guys, I'm afraid it's better to be directly executed, which is more enjoyable.

Even among the various nations and lords of the human race, there is not peace. On the contrary, there are frequent wars in this world, and robbers and bandits emerge in an endless stream. He, a teenager without any strength, can run to?

Come to think of it, it's safer to be in Joseph's Castle and have a chance to come into contact with magic. As long as you gain the strength to protect yourself, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide when the time comes, and it will not be too late to go.

After making up his mind, Leo finished eating, and mixed in the crowd out of the cafeteria, wanting to follow Isa, but he lost it, so he had to go all the way to the library on the third floor of the castle.

When I looked around, there were seven or eight people who were immersed in reading, but they didn't see Isha's shadow.

These people were all collateral children of the Joseph family, and they felt that they had little opportunity to awaken their bloodline, and they were not suitable for ordinary military or legal duties, and their belief in a certain god was not enough to make them priesthood, so in order to maintain their position in the family, they had to turn to other skills.

No, before Leo could step into the library, he was stopped by the administrator, "Boy, where are your tools? Do you want to clean this place with your hands? Go back and get your tools!"

Leo secretly said that fortunately, this guy had a bad memory and didn't recognize himself, so he hurriedly went back to the corner of the stairs and waited for Isha to appear.

Just as she was about to lose her patience, Isha finally walked up to the third floor with a bucket of water.

Quietly coming to Isa's side, he whispered, "Hi Isa, hello. ”

Isha was walking intently, and was so frightened by the greeting that she almost threw the bucket away. When he looked up and found that it was Leo, he suddenly widened his eyes and covered his mouth, finally not letting himself scream.

After a while, the girl asked in a voice that only Leo could hear, "Leo, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I came for you on purpose. Leo smiled, trying to look as amiable as possible.

"Looking for me?" Isha blinked, quickly remembering the events of the previous two days, and said worriedly, "You...... You don't want me to help you get in and read, do you?"

"How could it be, I was punished so harshly, I didn't dare to think like that again. Leo replied firmly, then changed to a mournful expression, and continued: "But as you know, my injuries are not yet healed, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take on the work of clearing the weeds. ”

"I ...... I can give you some food. Isha clearly misunderstood what the other party meant.

"Isha, you're so kind, but I can't ask for your food for nothing. Leo shook his head with a noble expression.

Hearing Leo's compliment, Isha blushed and said a little nervously: "It's okay, I eat very little, and I'll be full after eating a little." ”

"She's a good girl, and I'm not mistaken. Leo sighed in his heart.

In order to make a deeper impression on the other party, he deliberately straightened his chest and said heroically: "That's not good, as a man, I have to rely on my own labor to get food." But I've heard that servants are allowed to swap jobs with each other, right? ”

"That's right, you mean ......," Isha finally understood.

Leo took a deep breath and said in the most sincere tone, "Isa, if you can exchange jobs with me, I am willing to repay it in any way." ”

"Any way?" Isa's eyes lit up, clearly interested in the promise.

Leo found out that there was a play, and hurriedly affirmed: "Yes, in any way." ”

Isha was really moved.

She's not like Leo, and she's had a relaxed life. Although she is the illegitimate daughter of a steward, Isa's status is just a little higher than that of ordinary servants. She has been working in the castle since she was sensible, so clearing the weeds is very difficult for Leo, and in her opinion, it is not that hard.

Facing Leo's burning gaze, Isa's heart felt like a rabbit, and her face turned red.

Of course she has a crush on Leo, and what girl in the castle doesn't have a crush on this handsome boy?

Isha knew that there had been some girls who had expressed some kind of wish to Leo before. But Leo didn't seem to have any interest in this kind of thing at all, and he was intimidated a few times, so he never maintained an intimate relationship with any girl. And because Isha is a little shy, she has never taken the initiative to express her thoughts.

"But he actually took the initiative to find me, not someone else, could he ...... me" Isa's heart beat faster.

The girl felt that she could not miss this opportunity, and if she let the good female companions know that she and Leo were in an intimate relationship, they would be very envious. Even if she swaps jobs privately, Gutierrez will definitely be dissatisfied, and she doesn't care at all.

The silence continued, and Leo waited calmly, even if the girl did not agree, he would never give up, even if it was necessary to take a greater risk and sneak into the library.

"So, can I go to you at night?" the girl's voice was like a mosquito, and she felt that she was too unreserved, so she quickly changed her words: "I just want to talk to you." ”

"Great!" Leo secretly clenched his fists and smiled even brighter, almost dazzling Isa, and replied kindly, "No problem, if you want." ”

The girl's face was already red, but she still endured her shyness and said firmly: "But I have one more request, you are not allowed to read any more books, okay?"

"Okay, I promise you. Leo nodded, feeling a little guilty about deceiving the other party. But even if he was discovered, it shouldn't cause any trouble to the girl, and he was quickly relieved when he thought of this.

"It's decided, you can't go back. The girl gave Leo a deep look, shoved the bucket into his hand, and walked away briskly.

"A good face can be a problem, but it's also useful. Leo sighed shamelessly.

Watching the girl disappear at the top of the stairs, he said in his consciousness: "Professor, activate the auxiliary memory module, and any words and pictures I have seen will be saved in a while." ”

The professor's somewhat peculiar female voice immediately responded: "The task is acceptable, but if the number is too much, it may lead to a decrease in mental value and cause mental weakness." ”

Leo didn't have any expression on his face, but he said decisively in his consciousness: "Don't care about my spiritual value, I must store all of it, and I won't miss a single thing." ”

"The mission is created successfully, the professor is on standby, ready to serve you. ”

Scooping the rag from the bucket, Leo slowly moved deeper into the library as he wiped the floor.

The library is large, with a few seats in the middle, surrounded by dozens of bookshelves, which are full of all kinds of books, and I am afraid that there are thousands of them.

In addition to the miscellaneous books such as "Encyclopedia of Abyss Creatures", "Overview of Imperial Bloodlines", "History of the Heroes of the Empire", "Money and the State", of course, there are also books about magic, after all, mages, as the most versatile profession, have made outstanding achievements in various fields.

Whether it's enchanting weapons and equipment, or refining potions with various effects, mages are inseparable. And in one of the most important ways to obtain precious resources, in dimensional exploration, mages play a pivotal role.

Not to mention that very few warriors are able to teleport on the plane, even if they are legendary priests, it is difficult to obtain the divine power of the gods in the different planes without the brand of divine grace or some special artifacts to guide them. Except, of course, for priests who believe in the main gods of the Pancrystalline Wall.

Therefore, the major bloodline families will choose some suitable children and train them to become mages, and the Joseph family is naturally no exception.

Turning through the three bookshelves, Leo soon found many books that would be useful to him in the future, such as "The Calculation of Magic and Mental Power", "Analysis of Spatial Science", and "On the Difference Between a Mage of the Specialized Plastic School and a Warlock of the Elemental Bloodline". But judging from the name alone, these books are too profound, and the location is relatively outward, if you pick it up, it is easy to be discovered, and he decisively chose to give up.

"The last time I saw the Meditation Beginner's Guide was on bookshelf five. Leo decided not to delay any longer, sped up the pace of mopping the floor, and soon arrived at the location of the target.

However, to his surprise, the place where the "Meditation Starter Guide" should have been placed turned out to be empty.
