Xiao Xiaoqi had just left the school for a while, but he saw Tutor Mi Xue running back in a hurry.

Finding that Xiao Xiaoqi had left, she was immediately annoyed, "Oh, damn Creator, I forgot to ask his name......

Mentor Mi Xue patted his head, and at this time, the corner of his eye happened to look at the magic array drawn by Xiao Xiaoqi on the white wall, and he couldn't help but look closer again, and then took out his notebook and traced the magic array exactly as it was.

......

On the other hand, after Xiao Xiaoqi left the Exhaustion School Park, he found that Tutor Qiu and the others were no longer there, so he changed back to his original appearance.

Following the route of the map, he soon came to the door of the Moken Library.

What makes Xiao Xiaoqi feel strange is that there are no people in this library...... Don't the students of the Academy of Magic like to read?

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't think too much about it, and walked straight into the Moken Library.

After walking in, Xiao Xiaoqi found that there were still people reading, but there weren't many.

The lights were dim, and it was full of bookshelves, full of books, but some of the books were dusty and looked like they hadn't been touched in a long time.

On either side, there are desks, which look like they should be used for reading.

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't know if there were any rules here, so he looked around, hoping that someone would take care of him.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "You are in the wrong place, child. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi immediately turned around when he heard this, only to see a gray-haired old man staring at him closely.

The old man was still hunched over, his pale face was covered with old age spots, and his body was so thin that it even made people feel that a random gust of wind could blow him down.

The old man still had a duster in his hand, saying that it was for cleaning, but it was not like it, because the duster had already lost a few handfuls of hair.

Xiao Xiaoqi still saluted very politely, "Hello, old man, I'm here to read a book." ”

The hunchbacked old man's eyes were unwavering, and even Xiao Xiaoqi, who looked different, did not fluctuate at all, and at this time he asked, "New here?"

Xiao Xiaoqi felt a little strange, but still admitted, "Yes, I just came here today." ”

The hunchbacked old man still had no change in his face, and there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, "Want to read a book about magic?"

Xiao Xiaoqi was slightly startled, "How do you know?"

The hunchbacked old man smiled, "Every new student wants to see it, so please go back." ”

The hunchbacked old man walked away as he spoke, no longer paying attention to Xiao Xiaoqi.

Xiao Xiaoqi hurriedly caught up, "Why?

The hunchbacked old man turned around at this time and didn't speak, but handed Xiao Xiaoqi a book.

Xiao Xiaoqi took the book, only to see that the cover said "Introduction to Magic", but it looked mediocre, as if it was just written casually.

"Is this for me?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.

The hunchbacked old man still didn't speak, only nodded, and his eyes motioned for Xiao Xiaoqi to open it and take a look.

Xiao Xiaoqi was very curious, it shouldn't be dangerous to read a book, he didn't hesitate for too long, and directly turned the first page.

After opening it

, Xiao Xiaoqi found that the book did not have a preface or a wedge or anything like that, and the first page was a ...... Circle?

There are small circles in the big circle, and there are smaller circles in the small circle, layer by layer, Xiao Xiaoqi can't count how many circles there are for a while.

At the same time, Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but stare at the small circle in the center, trying to find the center point, but Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't find it when he stared at it, there was no point at all, only a small circle, and a smaller circle, so small that it was almost a point, but Xiao Xiaoqi could clearly see the small circles, one after another, as if they were innumerable, and gradually, Xiao Xiaoqi fell into it......

Seeing that Xiao Xiaoqi's pupils gradually dilated, the corners of the hunchbacked old man's mouth rose slightly, "After all, he is still young and vigorous......

"It's amazing!" As soon as the old man's voice fell, Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly came back to his senses, "These circles seem to be endless. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi said and flipped through the content in the back, but found that the back was all blank.

The hunchbacked old man was startled, "You...... How did it come out?"

Xiao Xiaoqi blinked, "Come out...... Where?"

The hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment before he smiled, "Welcome to the Moken Library!"

Xiao Xiaoqi scratched his head, "Does this mean that I can read here?"

The hunchbacked old man pointed to the bookshelves around him, "Please feel free, of course, only on the first floor." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi was suddenly elated, "Great, thank you, old man, by the way, I'm Xiao, I don't know what you call it?"

The hunchbacked old man had no sorrow or joy, "Just call me Lao Mi." ”

Wouldn't it be rude to call me like that?

Without waiting for Xiao Xiaoqi to say anything more, the hunchbacked old man Lao Mi walked away, really ignoring Xiao Xiaoqi no more.

Now it seems that no one should obstruct it anymore, Xiao Xiaoqi strode towards the bookshelves.

The people who were reading the book seemed to be surprised when they found that Lao Mi did not stop Xiao Xiaoqi anymore.

Xiao Xiaoqi vaguely heard two people discussing: "So young!"

"Yes, God forbid, I finally see the light of youth. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi felt very strange, as soon as he came in, he just chatted with Lao Mi for a few words, and he just read a blank book, so did he do anything great?

If he didn't think about Xiao Xiaoqi, he didn't think too much, he walked to the edge of the nearest bookshelf and glanced at the books on the shelf.

"The history of the empire, what is the miscellaneous talk, what Wiggins is ......"

After reading a row, although Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't understand some words, he knew that these books had nothing to do with magic.

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't believe in evil, so he went to other bookshelves to read it.

Lao Mi, who was not far away, only glanced at it, shook his head with a smile, and then took the "Introduction to Magic" and looked at it.

After a tea time, Xiao Xiaoqi scratched his head, basically he searched all over this layer, but there was a bookshelf in the corner that said "magic", but there was no book on it.

As for the others, they are all books that have nothing to do with magic, either about history or about the analysis of the times, not that Xiao Xiaoqi doesn't like to read this kind of book, but the purpose of his trip is to

Looking at the magic books, is there no magic books in the library of the Academy of Magic?

The second floor? Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the stairs on the side, and then shook his head again, Lao Mi said, only on the first floor, if you go up secretly, it is better to have a magic book, if you don't have it, it will be worth the loss.

Xiao Xiaoqi finally sighed, since he didn't have it, he could only forget it, but he didn't want to come in vain, so it would be good to find a book to learn about.

What do you want to see? Xiao Xiaoqi leaned on the bookshelf beside him and thought about it......

Only then did he realize that the bookshelf next to him was covered with dust, and his clothes were immediately covered with dust.

The books on the shelves are full of smoke and dust, and some of them can't even see the covers clearly.

"How long has it been since no one moved?" Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh.

Then I took a look at the classification, "Sanskrit Lang Text...... Hey, it's a coincidence, there are a lot of words I don't know yet, so you can look at them. ”

After coming to the Fanlang Empire, although Xiao Xiaoqi learned the language here, he didn't know much about Fanlang characters, and it was good to take advantage of the opportunity to understand it now.

While thinking about it, Xiao Xiaoqi had already pulled the first book off the shelf, which was quite thick.

What Xiao Xiaoqi didn't know was that when he took down the books on the shelf, Lao Mi instantly raised his eyes to look at him.

Lao Mi squinted slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly suppressed it, and then continued to read his book without saying anything.

Xiao Xiaoqi patted off the dust on the book at this time, revealing the cover underneath, "Fanlang Dictionary First Edition...... That's right, it's you!"

Xiao Xiaoqi was very interested, holding the "First Edition of the Fanlang Dictionary", and wanted to find a place to sit down and read.

At this time, he realized that the few desks in it were all sitting, and if he didn't want to stand, he could only share the table with others.

Xiao Xiaoqi walked to the nearest table, sitting here was a brown-haired man in his thirties and forties, reading intently, looking a little scholarly, he should be very good at talking.

"Hello, uncle, can I sit here?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.

Only then did the man raise his head to look at Xiao Xiaoqi, a little surprised, and a little indifferent, "Of course, child, please take a seat." ”

Sure enough, Xiao Xiaoqi immediately sat down opposite the brown-haired man, but kept staring into his eyes.

The brown-haired man looked a little uncomfortable and asked, "I...... Do you have dirt on your face?"

Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Uncle, what's that box on your nose?"

Xiao Xiaoqi also noticed after sitting down that there were two black frames on the bridge of the man's nose, and in the middle of the frame was a piece of transparent glass.

Only then did the brown-haired man know what Xiao Xiaoqi was referring to, and smiled dumbly, "This is glasses, haven't you seen them before?"

"What are the glasses for, why are you wearing them?" Xiao Xiaoqi became more and more curious.

"Quiet!" Xiao Xiaoqi's voice was a little loud, and he immediately attracted the attention of Lao Mi again.

Xiao Xiaoqi hurriedly covered his mouth, not daring to make any more noise.

Although the brown-haired man on the side felt that Xiao Xiaoqi was a little strange, he still explained to him softly: "The glasses can let me read a book."

Be clearer. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi was just about to be surprised, but he remembered that he couldn't make a loud noise, so he lowered his voice, "There is such a thing?"

Xiao Xiaoqi seemed to have discovered a new world, "Can you lend me a look?"

The brown-haired man paused, then nodded, "Of course." ”

Then he took off his glasses and handed them to Xiao Xiaoqi.

Xiao Xiaoqi took it, looked left and right, and then learned from the man to put on his glasses.

But in the next moment, Xiao Xiaoqi only felt that the desk in front of him suddenly became farther away, which made him a little dizzy at the same time.

He hurriedly took off his glasses and gave them to the brown-haired man, and said in a suppressed voice: "Uncle, how can you see this thing more clearly, it will only make people dizzy." ”

The brown-haired man put his glasses back on and said with a smile, "Glasses are not available to everyone, I need them because I have eye problems." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't seem to understand, "So that's the case." ”

While speaking, Xiao Xiaoqi caught another glimpse of the book that the man with glasses was reading, which was actually a book about the magic array!

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't see anything at all, and came directly to the man with glasses, "Huh, uncle, isn't there no magic book here?

For Xiao Xiaoqi, who was startled, the man with glasses was tolerant if he didn't drive him away, and he said, "How can there be no magic books in the Academy of Magic?"

Xiao Xiaoqi was puzzled, and still suppressed his voice and said, "Where is the magic book? I didn't see it when I searched it all just now." ”

The man with glasses didn't explain this time, but looked around at the others who were reading books.

Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly realized, it seems that it is not that there is no magic book, but he is late, and the book has been borrowed.

Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the book in front of the man with glasses, his face gradually showed a longing expression, and then suddenly asked, "Uncle, can you lend me the book to see?"

The man with glasses looked stunned, then suddenly put away his book and looked at Xiao Xiaoqi with a wary expression, "Boy, you shouldn't have been sent by Old Peshi, that old woman has coveted my book for a long time!"

Old Pexi Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head, "No, I'm just curious about what magic books are like. ”

Finding that Xiao Xiaoqi was very sincere, the man with glasses was skeptical and reluctantly believed Xiao Xiaoqi, but he still said: "I'm afraid not, I'm reading this book......"

"That's ......" Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly felt a little regretful.

Seeing Xiao Xiaoqi's appearance, the man with glasses suddenly softened a little, "But we can look at it together, there happens to be a place I don't know very well, maybe we can discuss it." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi was overjoyed, accepted it happily, and then stretched out his hand, "Thank you, uncle, I'm Xiao, please advise." ”

The man with glasses also shook Xiao Xiaoqi's hand, "My name is Julian, and it's a pleasure to meet you, little friend." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but think to himself that this Uncle Julian was really a good person, generous and polite.

Next, Xiao Xiaoqi sat next to Julian and read the magic book together.

Xiao Xiaoqi only knew what the magic book looked like at this time, which recorded some slightly more complex magic arrays, and also had annotations to help magicians quickly learn one

kind of magic.

Julian was looking at a magic related to plants, but he seemed to have a problem.

Xiao Xiaoqi took a closer look at the magic array recorded in the book, it was not complicated, only thirty or forty strokes.

Based on some theories he had learned from Mentor Mi Xue, he began to try to push back this magic array, and if he converted it into a sigil, Xiao Xiaoqi could better understand this magic array.

After a while, Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly frowned, "There seems to be something wrong with this magic array......

Julian seemed to have known for a long time, "It's good that you can see that something is wrong so quickly." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi continued: "This magic array is wrong. ”

This time Julian was surprised, "You know all this?"

Julian just said that he wanted to discuss it with Xiao Xiaoqi, purely hoping that Xiao Xiaoqi could feel at ease, he didn't expect Xiao Xiaoqi to help him anything, but now Xiao Xiaoqi really saw the problem.

Julian then said, "This magic array is indeed wrong, I have been trying recently, but every time it fails, but the magic is disordered, and I have harmed myself. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi nodded, it seemed that his analysis was correct, and then he pointed to the side of the magic array and said, "It should be said that this stroke is wrong." ”

"This one?" Julian wondered, "Isn't this one insignificant?"

Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head, "Definitely, it just so happened that I learned the basics of magic today, we can try to split this magic array and simplify it into its initial magic array, so that we can know the problem." ”

Julian's eyes lit up, "It's interesting, it's just that it doesn't seem to be that easy to disassemble other people's magic arrays." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi directly took out a pen and paper, "Leave it to me." ”

The idea in Xiao Xiaoqi's mind can be described as "ready to move", because this magic array is very similar to the growth rune of all things, and it is difficult for others to disassemble it because there is no reference, but Xiao Xiaoqi has the rune as a reference, which is equivalent to having a dismantling drawing.

Xiao Xiaoqi first drew down the entire magic array, and then simplified it according to the growth rune of all things, dismantling it one by one......

Julian watched from the side, a little inexplicable at first, but as the magic array gradually simplified, he began to become surprised, although he didn't know how Xiao Xiaoqi did it, but this step seemed to be correct!

It only took half a cup of tea time for Xiao Xiaoqi to launch the initial magic array.

Looking at Xiao Xiaoqi's final result, Julian was completely shocked, "That's right, it's this, this is the basic wood attribute magic array, no, it's the wrong magic array." ”

"What's wrong?"

"This one! in the wrong direction!" Yurian pointed to the stroke on the side, and that stroke was the one Xiao Xiaoqi had just pointed out.

Julian realized it and looked at Xiao Xiaoqi in surprise, "Oh, friend, what the hell is your brain made of? Why do you know how to disassemble the magic array?"

The excited Julian suddenly attracted the attention of the others, including Lao Mi, who was somewhat curious about what was going on, but only saw Julian discussing with Xiao Xiaoqi very politely

Teach?

Xiao Xiaoqi smiled modestly, "It's nothing, it's just a fluke, because I happen to be familiar with this magic array." ”

Regarding the sigil, Xiao Xiaoqi is difficult to explain to Yurian clearly, and he can't explain it, otherwise he may cause some trouble.

Now knowing what the problem is, Julian hurriedly got up, "I can't wait, I have to try again, I'll go first, friend." ”

"Okay, then we'll see you again. Xiao Xiaoqi waved at Julian.

Having solved a long-standing doubt, Julian excitedly leaves to try his new magic.

As for the book, it was naturally left on the table and left to Xiao Xiaoqi.

Xiao Xiaoqi glanced at the writing, "Magic Diagram II?"

Anyway, Xiao Xiaoqi could be regarded as having found a serious magic book, so he read it carefully, and from time to time he would pick up the pen and scratch it around, not knowing whether he was taking notes or what.

......

In the process of Xiao Xiaoqi's serious thinking, time seemed to pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Bansai Academy of Magic ushered in the night.

"I'm finally done!" Xiao Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his waist again.

It was only then that he noticed that in the entire library, Lao Mi and him were left, and the others didn't know when they would leave.

It's not early, Xiao Xiaoqi should also go, and next, Xiao Xiaoqi plans to go to the Magic House to visit Kenael.

Xiao Xiaoqi picked up the finished "Magic Illustration II" and put it back on the bookshelf of the magic category.

At this time, he saw that there were a few more magic books on the shelf, which should have been returned, and it seemed that there was no way to take the books away.

Xiao Xiaoqi suppressed the desire in his heart to continue watching, and if he wanted to hurry, he wouldn't be able to do it, so let's wait until I have time to watch it.

After putting the book back, Xiao Xiaoqi turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he remembered something again, and looked at the table where he was sitting just now, where the first edition of the "Fanlang Dictionary" was still lying alone.

Xiao Xiaoqi patted his forehead, almost forgetting that he originally planned to learn Fanlang's words.

"Aren't you leaving?" said Mi, who came over with the hairless duster.

Xiao Xiaoqi asked curiously, "Mr. Mi, can I borrow the books here?"

"Spell books can't. Lao Mi said bluntly.

Xiao Xiaoqi pointed to the first edition of the "Fanlang Dictionary" on the table, "What about this one?"

Lao Mi looked at the first edition of the "Fanlang Dictionary" but hesitated for a moment, then he looked at Xiao Xiaoqi again, and finally replied without emotion: "Yes." ”

"Great, thank you! I'll be back tomorrow. Xiao Xiaoqi happily put away the first edition of the Fanlang Dictionary.

"Show me your badge. "Lao Mi still seems to be a little relieved.

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't mind, and generously took out his identity card to Lao Mi.

Lao Mi took Xiao Xiaoqi's identity card, only glanced at it with some dim eyes, and then returned it to Xiao Xiaoqi.

"Then I'll go first. Xiao Xiaoqi bowed slightly to Lao Mi, and then walked towards the door.

Lao Mi waved the duster in his hand at this time, and the "Magic Illustration II" that Xiao Xiaoqi had seen before suddenly flew into his hand.

Lao Mi flipped through it and looked at it a few times, then looked at the door, with curiosity in his eyes, "Xiao?"
