Chapter Ninety-Six: Leo's Discovery
For most of the afternoon, Leo was studying "The Theory of the Elementary Magic System", but his foundation was really too poor to understand many places, so Byron had to stop often to give him an extended explanation.
In the evening, Isha and Montoya went to Leo's room as usual for an evening study.
As curfew approached, Montoya left, and Leo sent Isha back, but did not immediately return to his room.
He'd decided to check out Owen. After all, Vanessa doesn't have three heads and six arms, and it will definitely be a little difficult to check seven people in a short period of time. Although he doesn't have much strength, he can't do nothing.
By the afternoon, he had successfully cast the Aerial Technique. Compared to the Worship Reduction Technique, this L-level magic is still very simple, with only 3 magic components, which play the role of counteracting gravity, controlling the direction and maintaining stability.
Leo's original idea was to fly to Owen's window to investigate after getting smaller, but had to abandon the idea. Although he was able to fly, the magic was indeed as Byron said, and the effect was not ideal.
The first is that the speed of the flight is quite slow, and during the flight, you must constantly consume mental energy to maintain stability. Coupled with the fact that level 1 magic greatly increases the consumption of mental power, he can now cast the Mage's Hand 13 times from mental power saturation to depletion, but if it is Byron's Shrinking Technique, he can only cast it less than 5 times. Coupled with the aerial technique that requires constant consumption of mental power, it may last for more than ten minutes at most.
At this moment, the curfew had begun, the corridor was empty, and Leo carefully hid in a very hidden corner on the third floor of the castle. Wait for the Night's Watch to make their first round.
Except for a few central characters of the castle, or in the event of an emergency. Otherwise, most people do not have the right to act at night, which has always been a tradition of the Joseph family. It is also such a tradition. Let the lower warriors of the Joseph family be accustomed to obeying orders and being strict with themselves since childhood.
In a short time, the night watchman had already passed, and Leo knew that he had about half an hour, so he immediately began to move, and reached the fourth floor of the castle with the fastest speed and the lightest pace.
When he reached the fourth floor, Leo was about to go straight to Owen's room. But I heard some strange sounds.
In the castle, whether it is the door or the walls, the sound insulation is actually quite good. However, Leo barely used his mental power to improve his perception, and he was still able to distinguish the situation in many rooms. Because almost half of the room was filled with fierce moans from women and excited growls from men, and even worse, Leo found that there were at least seven or eight people in one room, as if they were playing some kind of game that would make even the debauched dark elves blush.
"Nightlife out of this world. It's really quite simple, and the people at the top don't seem to care about the curfew at all. ”
was muttering secretly, not far away, I heard the door suddenly open. Frightened, Leo quickly leaned against the wall and hid in the shadows of the oil lamp in the hallway.
A gray-headed man walked out of the room. He closed the door and went to another room. Push the door and go in. And that room belongs to Owen.
Leo in the shadows was stunned. He had recognized the man as Horn whom he suspected.
And the room where Horn came out, Leo also remembered very well, and there were also voices of joy from men and women. This made him more certain about his guess.
It is a bit strange that an old man who does not have a high status can have that kind of thing with a certain lady or lady, unless he uses a special method to charm the other party's mind, and he is not worried about any hidden dangers in the future, so it makes sense.
Taking a deep breath and preparing the spell model, Leo recited the spell in the lowest voice, and the whole person instantly became less than a centimeter tall, and the clothes he carried with him also shrank proportionally.
Fearing that the magic fluctuations would be detected, Leo didn't dare to get too close, but when he got smaller, he found himself facing a very embarrassing problem.
The body has shrunk by more than 100 times, and the distance that was originally only more than ten meters has been magnified by more than 100 times.
It seemed that it would take at least a few minutes to walk to Owen's room, and Leo was worried that he would miss something important, so he had no choice but to disobey the teacher's strict order and cast the Vacancy Technique.
After all, he had just learned this magic and was able to cast it, and he already had a lot of luck in it, and if he wanted to control it, it was simply impossible. Flying up and down the hallway for a while, it was like a fly without a head.
The speed of this flying magic is not fast, but it is also relative to a person of normal shape. Leo, who had shrunk down, only felt that the scene in front of him was changing rapidly, and his ears were full of whistling winds, he steadied the last bit of his mind, recited the spell of the crust technique, and then aimed in the direction he wanted to go, trying to control the air technique.
"Bang!" was faintly noticeable, but after Leo heard a volcanic eruption, he slammed into the wooden door and slid to the ground.
"Whew, whew!" Leo gasped, but fortunately, the height was not high, and he was protected by the scleroderma, so he was not seriously injured, but dizziness was inevitable.
After struggling a few times, but not being able to get up, Leo reluctantly gave up and continued to wait for his body to recover.
At this time, Owen's voice came from inside: "Horn, where did you run again?"
Horn replied, "The young master hasn't slept yet, I'll go out for a walk." ”
Owen's voice was strange, and he asked, "Where?"
"You know, I've got to keep an eye on it all the time. Horn's voice was calm, but a little out of breath, apparently just after a strenuous workout.
"Okay. Owen seemed to accept this and asked, "Did you find anything from today's surveillance?"
Hearing the word "surveillance", Leo's heart jumped, and he got up with all his strength and slipped through the crack in the door.
Owen's room looked similar to Montoya's, spacious but simply decorated in the style of the Joseph family.
Leo was not worried about being discovered, and the shrinking technique lasted at least ten minutes, so he chose a position with a good angle of view, and listened to the two of them while observing.
Because he had a relationship with Horn, Leo remembered the other party's appearance and couldn't see any changes at all, but he keenly noticed that the old scholar's expression seemed to be a little ...... Frivolous?
Horn didn't answer Owen's question immediately, but poured himself a glass of water, poured it down, and took a few breaths before he said, "Your teacher still hasn't come up with the question, but I think it should be soon, young master, don't worry." With my surveillance magic, he won't miss the slightest move. ”
"Hmm. Owen nodded helplessly, he had heard this answer many times. Just as he was about to get up and go back to sleep, he suddenly turned back and asked, "What the hell is the teacher doing?"
Horn hesitated visibly before replying, "It seems like I'm working on some new magic." (To be continued......)
