This year's winter has been unusually cold. It snowed for two months one after another. In such weather, it is inconvenient to go out. In addition, the snow disaster has had a great impact on the countryside, and the roofs of many houses have been crushed by the snow. Julia couldn't pull away at all. So throughout the winter, the members of the Flower Expedition spent most of their time at home.

On this day, a young man stood at the gate of the deserted palace to meet the princess.

"Master Garcia. The princess asks you to go directly to the library to meet her. Please come with me. ”

"I'm tired."

Garcia arrives at the library with the maid and pushes the door open.

Kanna sat at a desk reading a book that was piled up with books of all kinds. At this time, she is very different from the way she travels. The straight hair is neatly combed back of the head, starting with the braid of the temples to hold the hair behind the ears. Dressed in a red and black male aristocratic tuxedo suit. This style of dressing did not surprise Garcia. Unless she is attending a formal occasion such as a celebration or meeting, Kanna rarely wears a skirt because it is really inconvenient.

"You're here." Kanna turned her head to look at Garcia and patted her hand on the chair on her right, "Come here, sit." After that, he immersed himself in the world of books and forgot about Garcia who was sitting quietly next to him.

When Kanna closed the book she had finished reading and was about to take one down, she remembered that Garcia had been waiting for a long time.

"Ahh I'm sorry, Garcia, I'm too engaged. ”

"It's okay. I was bored in my house in the outer city, so I came to see you. What have you been up to lately? ”

"It's nothing, practice swords in the morning, read books in the afternoon, and sleep at night. Hee-hee. ”

"I just paid attention to it, many of the books on your desk are magic books. There are almost no magicians in our kingdom, no one teaches them, can you understand it? ”

"The theoretical level can be understood. We often encounter enemies of the mage profession when we explore, although we have not encountered other high-level mages except for the demon last time. But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. It doesn't hurt to know a little more. After all, magic is too dangerous, and the more you know, the more you can deal with it. ”

"Speaking of which. I've wanted to ask for a long time. When we're fighting a mage, you'll always know quickly what kind of magic they're casting. Is it because you've read a lot of magic books? ”

"On the one hand, that's the case. On the other hand, I can't tell, maybe it's talented. I can easily feel all kinds of different magic fluctuations, and all kinds of details when I come into contact with magic. If I combine my indescribable feelings with the theories of the books I have read, I can always guess eight or nine. Like, fighting that demon before. Our weapons were ejected, remember? ”

"Yes, of course I do. At that time, I panicked, and I felt that the other party was invincible. ”

"Most of the magic that can bounce off weapons is in the transformation system, such as the fifth-order [Defense: General Weapon], the sixth-order [Defense: Magic Weapon], the seventh-order [Defense: Elementary Wallcover], the eighth-order [Defense: Intermediate Wallcover], the ninth-order [Defense: Advanced Wallcover], the tenth-order [Defense: Barrier] and so on. At that time, the feeling of the weapon being bounced off was more like the [Defense: Barrier] described in the book, so other possibilities were ruled out. ”

“……”

At that time, it was obvious that two waves of magic power had been triggered, and there was also a layer of magic protection within the [Defense Technique: Barrier]. From the luster and frequency of the fluctuations of the magic power, I deduced that it was not the first-order [Armor: Defense] of the spell system, the third-order [Armor: Hard] of the magic energy system, and the seventh-order [Armor: Soul] of the necromantic system. It's not a much more varied form of enchantment. It's a kind of shield technique, an elemental fourth-order magic [Shield Technique: Rock Skin]. ”

“…… Kanna. I didn't understand a word. ”

"Anyway, don't worry about the details, I can understand it. We're a team. ”

"I suddenly have the feeling that you might be a legendary mage who has been delayed by the warrior profession."

"I don't like the mage profession, it's too troublesome when fighting. It's better to rush up and beat people. ”

"You won't be able to get married like this."

"If you really can't get married. I can only wronged you or Edward. Hahahaha~"

Garcia's face turned red in an instant, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word.

Kanna put away the books on the table one by one and put them back in their place. Garcia noticed that there was a book on the table with a completely different style.

"Won't you put this book back?"

"This is not a library book." Kanna held the blackened book in her hand and thoughtfully, "This is a forbidden book. One of the materials that only the king and the first heir to the throne can consult. This book is written by elves, the only one in the human world. ”

"So mysterious? What is this book about? Garcia blurted out a feeling of inappropriateness, "...... No, that's not what I'm supposed to ask, and it's not something I can know. Please forgive me for my gaffes. ”

"If it's you, it doesn't hurt to say it...... No. Because you are my companion on my expedition, and the situation you may face in the future. Instead, you have to understand. ”

"What's next?"

"I received a letter the other day from your eldest brother, Warhammer Publisher Brook Richard. The interrogation of the backbone members of the demonic sect in the city has ended. The mage who summoned the demon came from the north, and after summoning the demon and cultivating a few core believers, he was never heard from. I don't even know the name. ”

"North? There are no big cities north of Swan City. Is it secluded in the mountains and countryside? ”

"I think it's more likely that I'm from the Knight Kingdom of the North. Therefore, a letter has been written and sent to Ward Athill, the guardian of the Knight Kingdom, asking him to pay attention to the problem of the demonic sect in the kingdom. ”

"I've heard this name, it seems to be the current head of the Glorious Knights of the Knight Kingdom."

"Yes. Although we have never met, I have had occasional correspondence with him. This man is humble and upright, and he is the perfect knight. Years ago, demons invaded Brilliance City, the capital of the Knight Kingdom. The Knights of Radiance were almost wiped out, and Sir Ward fought to the end as the Princess's Guardian Knight, defeating the remaining demons and protecting the kingdom's little princess, Sarah Augustus. Because the king and the princes all died heroically in that battle, Princess Serra became the queen of the Knight Kingdom today. And Sir Ward was given the first ever duke title of Duke by Queen Sailra by Queen Sailra: Duke of Guardian. It is worth mentioning that as a guardian knight, she fought bravely to protect her princess. Sir Ward was praised by the Guardian, the second-class god of the Guardian, and made him a chosen man. He is a friend worthy of admiration and trust. ”

"It's amazing." Garcia couldn't help but sigh.

"The demon we killed is not of a low level, so the level of the mysterious mage who summoned him will not be low either. Recently, I had nothing to do, so I researched some books about magic and turned over this forbidden book: "Everything About Demons". ”
