Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 64 Two Similar Persons
"Sure enough?" said Allen. Cynthia seemed to have known early on that he was coming.
"Sit down. Cynthia glanced back at him faintly, "There's only room left here." ”
Alan looked around reluctantly, only to find that what Cynthia said seemed to be true. Every table was full of people, but she was the only one in front of this table.
"Are you ...... Wait for me?" Alan asked, hesitating, slowly sitting down across from her.
"Sort of. Cynthia said lightly.
"Sort of?" Alan asked, looking around and lowering his voice.
"It doesn't hurt if you don't come. I'm just here to preview what I'm going to talk about tomorrow, by the way...... Wait a minute. Cynthia closed the book she was reading, resting her hands naturally on her lap and sitting upright.
"Uh...... Who told you I was coming here?" asked Allen, curiously.
"Is it Riel? or Ian?" Alan asked, thinking. Only they knew he was coming to the library. But Alan thought again, no, they had been with him all the time, and they didn't have time to find Cynthia, and there was no reason to go to her.
"Nobody told me. Cynthia said.
"Then ...... you" Alan was a little surprised, someone knew that he was coming here based on just guesswork?
"Tomorrow's Thunder Elemental Magic Lesson...... You're going too, aren't you?" asked Cynthia.
"That's right......"
"I'm going too. Cynthia said, "I'll be here, so I guess, you will too." ”
"But how did you know I was coming to the second floor?" Alan was still surprised.
"I just thought you might come...... Because when I came here, the first floor was already full. Cynthia smiled, "In case you can't find a place to sit when you're late, I've left a place for you." ”
"Leave me a place?"
"Well, no one else can sit down here. Cynthia said, quietly revealing a piece of the wand hidden in her sleeve to show Alan.
Alan saw it, but didn't get it.
The corners of Cynthia's mouth twitched up slightly, as if she were smiling, and then she looked around, put her hand on the table, and whispered a quick incantation that Eren didn't understand.
Alan was wondering what she was saying, when he suddenly felt his arm on the table tingle, and he shivered with fright.
"Ahh
The people around didn't know what was going on, and they all looked over when they heard the movement.
Alan got up from the ground and apologized awkwardly as he picked up his chair and sat down again.
I never expected that she would openly use magic in public, and if she was seen, it would be at least twenty points away.
Alan lifted his glasses and found Cynthia with her head down, pursing her lips and stealing fun.
"I see...... No wonder there's no one around you ......," Alan whispered. He looked at his hands, and there were no injuries, only the numbness of his arms and his heart beating faster than he had just felt. It seemed that she was just trying to scare him, and the amount of magic released was just right.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen? Although Alan was treated as a prank by Cynthia, he didn't have the slightest desire to get angry, and even he wanted to laugh out loud.
Then he remembered what Riel had said, and it was not like they had just known each other, but like two old friends who had known each other for a long time.
It's a lot of fun to get along with someone from the beginning, but it's also a bit weird.
"It's okay, the wand is hidden in my sleeve so that their idiots won't notice it. Cynthia still looked like she was smiling, and her words were full of disdain for those around her. But the next second, he instantly regained his composure: "And they should know who I am." ”
Cynthia reminded Alan that her surname was Winslow. At first, he didn't want to sit with Cynthia because he remembered Mr. Adrian's evaluation of the Winslow family, and old Seaphus's warning. But at this moment, Alan felt that the girl in front of him must be different from the rest of the Winslow family, otherwise he would not feel relaxed and happy in front of her.
"Excuse me, do you have anything to do with me?" asked Allen, holding back his thoughts for a moment.
"Ah...... Well, there is. Cynthia flipped through the stack of books she had brought, pulled out one and handed it to him, "I think it might help you." ”
"Books?" Alan took it, a little puzzled.
Although for a moment Alan wondered if it was the forbidden book of magic, he was quickly denied by himself, as it did not shine at all.
However, Alan still felt a little strange when he first saw the book, and he checked it several times before realizing that it was because it had nothing on the cover, not even a name.
Alan glanced at Cynthia a little puzzled, and opened it, only to find that the contents made Alan even more confused - there was no table of contents.
"It's weird. Alan thought. He had read a lot of books, but this was the first time he had seen a book without a catalog.
And what's even stranger is that it's more like a notebook than a book, because Alan roughly flipped through it from front to back and found that it was all handwritten.
"Excuse me...... What is this?" asked Allen.
"It's like a book, it can be a notebook. Cynthia said. Listening to her tone, she didn't know what it was.
"Like?" Alan was a little surprised, "isn't that your thing?"
"That's right......," Cynthia said, "but that's how it was when I got it, and no one told me what it was." ”
"Who gave it to you?" didn't you ask him?" asked Allen.
"I don't know...... All I know is that this is something that has been with me since I was a child. Cynthia's head bowed slightly, and her expression looked a little downcast.
"You turn to page seventy-nine. Alan wanted to ask something, but Cynthia suddenly looked up and said, "There's something you're interested in." ”
Cynthia's tone was firm, as if Alan could not hesitate, and Alan had to swallow back the words that had come to his lips and do as Cynthia said.
"What the hell is she trying to do?" thought Alan. Since there were no page numbers, he had to count the pages as he turned them, and it took him a while to finally turn to the page.
But when Alan turned the page, he realized that Cynthia was right. The few big words that came into his eyes, "About Light Elemental Magic", made Eren lose his mouth in surprise! Not only was he interested, this was a great surprise for Allen! He never expected to see the content of the Light Elemental Magic that no one had ever heard of here!
Alan was about to stand up in surprise and looked up at Cynthia. However, she seemed to be very calm and calm, as if Alan's reaction was expected by her: "Well, I'm right, right?"
Alan suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded and looked down.
There is no title, and this notebook reads:
Little is known about the existence of light elemental magic, and due to its peculiarity, it has become one of the very few magic types that can be learned. It is rumored that the first person to learn it was Jill Alvaona, but he or anyone else has never been seen using it, except his close friend Stephen Calvins who has spoken of this particular magic. Legend has it that learning this magic requires a very special physical condition. However, unlike the Calvins family's innate "boiling physique", and also different from our family's "fusion physique", that physical condition requires both innate talent and acquired literacy or character to support, so even among the descendants of the Alvarona family, there are very few people who are qualified and ultimately learn the light elemental magic. Therefore, due to various constraints, light elemental magic has always existed as secret magic, and it is only taught by those who have learned it to those who have the qualifications and potential to learn it.
The period when there were the most rumors about it was about 700 years ago, when the witch curse was so widespread that two masters and apprentices who had learned the light elemental magic stepped forward to eliminate a large number of witch masters who were helpless. But then the magic quickly faded away.
To this day, people with boiling and fusion constitutions still appear occasionally, or become famous or make waves, but the light elemental magic is almost extinct, and it has not been seen or heard of for hundreds of years. If this continues, I am afraid that it will be silent. Or it has been lost, and it is not known.
That's all there is to know about light elemental magic in this book.
After reading so much in one go, Alan had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. First, he was excited to see something related to the magic he was suitable for learning, which proved that what the Immortal Tree said was true, and that there was indeed light elemental magic that had existed and played a very important role. But at the same time, Alan had a lot of worries in his heart, because if it was true that the light elemental magic had been lost, then even if he knew that this kind of magic did exist, it would be useless, because the result was that he would not be able to find a suitable major here.
"Are you done?" Cynthia asked as she saw Alan begin to look down in thought.
"Ah...... Uh-huh......" Alan replied softly, then closed the book and returned it to Cynthia.
"So I was surprised when I learned that the Immortal Tree said that you were suitable to study light elemental magic...... I didn't expect this magic to really exist. ”
"I'm surprised......" Alan shook his head and sighed, "but even if I know this now, it won't help, because there is no one here to teach me these ......"
"That's better than walking at night with your eyes closed, right?" Cynthia said as soon as Alan's words fell.
Alan looked up and found that Cynthia had just blinked, staring at him, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she didn't know if she was laughing.
There was an inexplicable attraction to that expression, which made Alan look a little stunned.
It took a long time for Alan to come back to his senses, take a deep breath, and ask a sentence that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Why are you helping me?"
Cynthia stopped talking when she heard this question, and bowed her head and was silent for a long time before slowly replying: "Because...... You and me...... It's a lot like. ”
