Volume 1 The Song of the Ice Angel Chapter 4 The Library of Hope
"Magician, what's that?" said Dillait, with obvious confusion in his eyes.
Zun Wu picked up a book and looked at it twice and explained: "The four main professions of the world, system, magic, machinery, priesthood, magician belongs to a branch of the magic department, it is not as violent as the elements, and it uses various props to fight, which is better than weird, and it is also a good choice." β
Di Lai's eyes were still confused, and he didn't wait for Zun Wu to speak again, Yexing spoke, and a soft laugh came out of his mouth: "People are called the master of tricks without lethality." β
When Di Laier heard it, he understood that others were playing magic, and he was playing tricks. All of a sudden, the mood became a little sluggish.
Zun Wu retorted: "Xingyu, I have an old friend, a magic department is superb, magic plus props, Zeng Xiu's seven demon gods bow down, magicians in the early stage, in the later stage, as long as there are props, it is really an existence that no one dares to provoke, even if it is a weak magician, the props in his hand are strong enough, and he can also kill the strong, which is one of the few professions that can kill people beyond the level." β
Ye Xingyu's black eyes were slightly stunned, and he tilted his head and asked in wonder, "Why haven't you ever told me this, master?"
Zun Wu spread his hands and shrugged, "There are too few magicians, even if there are, they will be regarded as waste, in the thousand-year history of the empire, there is only one strong magician, and almost all the people who know him are dead, and ordinary people don't understand, and they treat those magicians on the street as the means of professionals, so there is a non-lethal trick master, but it is not wrong, the magician's methods are indeed a bit bells and whistles." β
Di Laier looked at Zun Wu curiously and asked, "Then why do you know so much?"
Zun Wu's face changed, and the atmosphere of the entire room instantly became extremely depressing, Di Laier suddenly felt like a mountain pressing on him, and the whole person was out of breath, just when he felt that he was about to lose his weight and was about to open his mouth to admit his mistake, the strange pressure suddenly disappeared.
Zun patted Di Lai's shoulder unapologetically, his face was slightly red, and he touched his nose and sneered: "Because I was once shown by a magician, and I was afraid of it, so I studied it specifically." β
Di Laier was dumbfounded, but he also felt that this answer was very reliable, after all, if he hadn't suffered a loss, no one liked to study a side thing.
"You can worship me as a teacher. Zun Wuxiao looked at Di Laier with a smile, as if looking at a piece of beautiful jade, "But to say it, I'm very busy, I don't have much time to teach you, and magic can only rely on you to learn by yourself, I have a library of books, I gave it to you, it's not free, and the price is 300 million gold coins." β
Although he didn't understand the value of gold coins, he heard that it was a very expensive currency, and it was 300 million?
Zun Wu smiled, "You don't need to pay now, you will be strong in the future, you can do some mercenary tasks, and it will not be too late to pay me back after you earn money, I am still very reasonable." β
Di Laier breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't pay the money immediately, his grandfather once said: There will always be a way for people to live.
This sentence has always been remembered by Di Laier, 300 million gold coins may be an astronomical amount, but if you work hard, you will definitely be able to pay it off and find your way home.
Zun Wu looked at the relaxed big boy and clapped his hands: "Let's go, go have breakfast." β
The three of them walked out of the room, and the momentum of Zun Wu changed, and the hip-hop smiling face during the test just now was completely gone, replaced by a solemn and serious, unfazed look.
Seeing Di Lai's puzzled look, Ye Xingyu whispered in his ear: "The teacher is a gentle person, but as a prince, he can only hide this gentleness. β
Di Laier suddenly said, yes, it is normal for a person in a high position to be involuntarily, and he doesn't know how many layers of masks this person has on his face.
The way to the restaurant is through a long corridor, and beyond the corridor is a square where hundreds of soldiers are drilling.
Occasionally, when a servant passed by, he would stop and get out of the way and salute respectfully, but he never paid attention to them, and rarely even looked at them directly.
Soon, the restaurant arrived, it was empty, the restaurant was decorated very luxuriously, the overall layout was black and white, as soon as you entered the door, the first thing that caught your eye was the huge flag hanging on the wall at the end of the house, the black flag was embroidered with gold edges, the center was a light gold clock dial, the thick hour hand pointed to the direction of nine, the thin minute hand pointed to the position of three, but the second hand was missing.
The dΓ©cor of the dining room is simple but luxurious, with a long wooden table topped with a crimson tablecloth and a candlestick made of glass that resembles a lotus flower.
Three breakfasts were placed at the table, Zun Wu sat on the main seat, Di Lai Er and Ye Xingyu sat on both sides, this breakfast was also very peculiar, Zun Wu was a good steak, and a glass of golden wine exuding a rich aroma.
Night Star is a bowl of porridge, a small slice of bread, and a glass of milk, and as for Dilaire, it is also a bowl of porridge, a bun, and a pancake fruit.
Di Laier was shocked, he knew that this was a different world, but he never thought that there would be street food in his own world?
"Xiao Di, I know you're confused. As he spoke, he tore the steak in half, half of which was handed to Di Lai's rice porridge.
"There is no unwanted love in this world, and there is no unprovoked hate, everything I gave you today, I hope you can return it to me in the future. Zun Wu smiled lightly.
Di Laier breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that there was no condition for good, which would make him feel extremely uneasy.
The breakfast was delicious, but because there was an extra half of the steak, poor Dilay was overwhelmed.
After breakfast, Zun Wu did not let the two of them go, but rang a bell on the table, and soon, a man with three servants, walked in, it was an old man, gray hair, kind facial features, brown eyes, three deep wrinkles on his forehead, he was wearing a black suit, white gloves, a housekeeper.
The servant cleaned up the dishes, leaving only the old man standing.
"Your Excellency, are you looking for me?" the butler came to Zunwu's side, bowed slightly, and made a listening gesture.
"Night Branch. My butler, you can come to him if you have something to do in the future. Zun Wu said lightly, and then said to the night housekeeper: "He, Di Laier, will be my fourth disciple in the future, you go and give him the key to the eighth library, and he will live in the library in the future." β
Yeke's pupils shrank, and he said softly: "Your Excellency, when you accepted Miss Xingyu, you promised not to accept apprentices in front of those ancient people, and now rashly accepting apprentices will put you in a disadvantageous position. β
Zun Wu waved his hand, looking indifferent, "It's okay, even if you find someone to talk about it in front of those old antiques, it doesn't matter, the so-called promise is just an empty word, everyone understands the rules behind it, they won't bother me, and they don't dare to disturb me." β
"Understood. With that, the housekeeper Yeke turned and left.
Zun Wu looked at the night star and said, "Girl, you have also entered a bottleneck recently, it is better to teach him the magic pattern if there is nothing to do." β
Night Star nodded slightly.
Zun Wu stretched out his hand, grabbed it in the air, and dragged out a black object, a cloak, the whole decoration was the same as the huge flag hanging on the wall, with gold edges, embroidered with a pale gold clock pattern.
Zun Wu stood up, put the item in front of Di Laier, and said, "There should have been an apprenticeship banquet, but unfortunately I've been too busy lately, and I'll talk about this kind of thing later, but the gift still has to be given."
This is the Empty Illusion Magic Canopy, a mysterious item, ability one, flight, you have already tried it yesterday, ability two, creating illusions, it is useless, and it can deceive ordinary people. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ye Xingyu take out a silver matchbox without any decoration from his pocket and hand it over, and said softly: "The Empty Boundary Box, a storage treasure, has a lot of space, and it will grow bigger and bigger as your strength grows." β
Zun Wu was stunned, as if he knew Ye Xingyu for the first time, stretched his neck to look at her for a moment, and said with a smile: "Girl, you won't fall in love with this little white face, right? β
Di Laier's face turned red all of a sudden, he touched his nose, his eyes glanced to the side, the earlobes of the night star on the opposite side were plated with a layer of pink at a speed visible to the naked eye, his head hung down shyly, and a mosquito-like whisper came out: "Teacher, don't talk nonsense." β
Zun Wu's face showed a strange look, touched his chin and thought for a moment: "You and him, it's really not impossible." β
Ye Xingyu raised his head suddenly, a pair of smart eyes looked at the teacher incredulously, his mouth opened slightly, he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
The butler returned to the dining-room, holding a plate in both hands, covered with a red cloth, and placed it on the table of Dilai.
Yeke thoughtfully lifted the red cloth, revealing a black bracelet with a key-shaped pendant on the bracelet.
Zun Wu got up, picked up the bracelet and said, "This thing will be bound to you in the future." β
As he spoke, he grabbed Dilair's hand, but he didn't see any movement, Dilair felt a pain in his fingertips, a drop of blood squeezed out of his skin, floated onto the pendant of the bracelet, and then, Dilair felt that there was more information in his head.
"The eighth stack is not in reality, it exists in another space, with this key, you can reach it through any door in the castle, and if you are strong enough, you can also enter it through the door outside the castle, until then, you can only enter through the door inside the castle. β
As he spoke, Zun Wu pulled up Di Laier, pulled him to the door of the restaurant, and with a gentle push, a world of books unfolded in front of Di Laier, this is a huge room, there is a vacant space in the middle, and the bookshelves on both sides are full of books, and the bookshelves are densely packed with books, and the bookhouse is open, and the fragrance of books is overflowing.
The whole library has a brown floor with delicate and intricate beautiful patterns on the floor, rows of bookshelves towering, and a crystal chandelier on the ceiling between each two bookshelves, which looks extravagant, and those chandeliers are the source of the light.
Zun Wu gently pushed Di Lai's back and pushed him into the library, "If you fully learn the knowledge inside and gain the power to fully exert this knowledge, you will find that no one in this world can trap you, even if you go home, it is not impossible." β
Dilai was short of breath, his face was flushed, his hands trembled slightly, he staggered into the room, he couldn't support it anymore, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, looked around, tears ran down his smooth cheeks, these were his hopes to go home, no matter what he would face when he returned home, even if his grandfather had passed away in regret at that time, he would go back to his grave and say: Grandpa, I am back.
Outside the door, Zun Wu sighed lightly and closed the door, and then said to the night star: "You also know the situation of your senior brother and sister, you can't come back in a short time, you have to patrol the Quartet for the teacher, you help the teacher teach him, you don't need to teach anything, those books will tell him everything, focus on teaching him those strange alien characters, you are a star warlock, you can also follow to learn the knowledge of magic, there is no other ability in magic, and the ability to bluff people is superb." β
Night Star Yu's beautiful big eyes looked at the door quietly, and her head hung slightly, indicating that she understood.
