Chapter Seventy-Three: There Is Hope
The Imperial Elite Academy Tournament was once again an upset, and the Blood Academy eliminated the Gloomy Forest Academy, which was considered to be above it in strength, with a disparity of 3:0.
The process is very simple, after Huey's miraculous reversal of Arlethar, the anger in Arthur's heart is still unsubsided. The second two-player battle was played by Arthur and Becky, and it was extremely rare for the two Demon Martial Arts Cultivators to appear at the same time in the entire history of the tournament, and the power of the two of them also shocked everyone, knocking the two of them to the ground in a few rounds.
Arthur was angry with Arrietal and dealt a heavy blow in the fight, severely wounding both opponents.
In the third five-person team battle, the Globules Academy was greatly weakened due to the death of the core Arletal, but on the other hand, the Blood Academy sent a full attack lineup of Arthur, Golly, Becky, Witt and Aaron, and the Globules Academy was defeated again.
The bizarre process of the game gave Arthur a hint of conspiracy, but there was nothing he could do about it, and there was no way to even investigate.
A big victory had diluted the cloud that hung over Arthur's mind for the time being, and there was something more pressing that he needed to do immediately.
As a reward for reaching the finals, he was eligible to enter the Royal Library to read for three days and pick a ground level exercise or fighting spirit.
Students who receive the prize usually go to claim it after the finals, but Arthur is desperate to find a way to save Arya, and there are exactly two days before the finals.
The next morning, Arthur dragged Joan straight to the Royal Library.
The Royal Library is also in the North City, and not far from Joan's palace. The library is a five-story gray magic tower, and the outer walls of the tower are a little mottled and full of traces of time. Located in the northern city full of palaces and palaces, such a magic tower is very inconspicuous.
The dignified Royal Library was not guarded by the Forbidden Army, and only two young librarians were arranged on the first floor of the Magic Tower to be in charge of reception.
It was these two young librarians who also stopped Arthur on the grounds that Arthur was not a member of the Imperial Family, and he did not get the voucher to enter the finals of the Imperial Elite Academy Competition, so they directly wanted to coax Arthur away and let him come back after the finals.
Arthur glanced at Joan helplessly.
Joan smiled smugly, "Let's let this highness come down." Then he said directly to one of the librarians, "Is Grand Magician Aurus here? I'm his student Joan." ”
The two librarians didn't know Joan, but as soon as they heard that Joan was his student, they immediately became enthusiastic, "The curator is in the tower today, you wait a minute, I'll go up and ask for instructions." A librarian trotted up to the second floor.
Arthur looked at Joan in surprise, "I've never heard you say you have a librarian's teacher?"
"The imperial family has always had a tradition of choosing a respected warrior or great magician as a mentor for each direct prince, not only to teach the prince martial arts and magic, but also to guide some life principles and experiences. My mentor happened to be the Grand Wizard of the Royal Library, Lion Orus. ”
Arthur knew in his heart, no wonder there was no need for guards from the Praetorian Army here, there was a great magician who sat here all the year round, and indeed no one dared to trespass.
"It's no wonder that you knew everything very well at the beginning, and it was enviable to have a librarian as a mentor. ”
"If you want to find any exercises or books in a while, you can ask Grand Magician Li'an to recommend them directly for you. The teacher never gets involved in imperial politics, and you don't have to worry about leaks at all. ”
The two were chatting softly, and the librarian who had gone upstairs to report came back at this time, and his attitude became more respectful, "The curator asks His Highness Eleventh and Prince Arthur to go up, and let's register Prince Arthur first, so we don't have to wait for the finals to come later." ”
The librarian personally led Joan and Arthur up to the second floor. There is a magic door between the first and second floors, and the librarian uses his token to stick a passage into the magic door before opening it.
The room of the great magician of Leanne was on the innermost side of the second floor, and the door was a simple wooden door, and the librarian helped knock on the door before leaving.
The scene after pushing open the door was a little shocking to Arthur, the walls of the house of hundreds of square meters were almost occupied by bookshelves, which were filled with books, and the large desk was also full of books and notes.
The room was full of books, but there was no one to be seen.
Joan saluted respectfully in the direction of the bookshelf next to the window, "Teacher." ”
Arthur looked closely in the direction of Joan's salute, only to notice a vague figure standing in the light of the window, the person almost transparent.
It was only when Arthur walked in that he really saw that the Great Magician of Leanne was a tall, gray-haired old man, who looked very old but had a very ruddy complexion and deep eyes and a spirit.
"This is Prince Arthur, right?"
"You know me?"
"Although the library is a clean place without disputing the world, the news is not closed, and the recent turmoil in the imperial capital because of Prince Arthur is really not small!"
Arthur smiled a little embarrassedly.
Grand Magician Lean continued: "Joan is my student, and I have a little understanding of Arthur's character over the years, so you can directly say what you need in the library. ”
Arthur was stunned, "All these years?"
The Archmage of Leanne smiled but did not answer.
Arthur himself suddenly figured it out, Qiong Gui is the eleventh highness, and the emperor will not rest assured that Qiong will be left alone in Isaac, and if the great magician of Lean protects in the dark with this almost transparent magical magic robe, it will be difficult for the warriors below the general to detect.
Arthur glanced at Joan again, and after getting Joan's affirmative look, he described Arya's current state to Archmage Lean in detail.
The Great Magician pondered for a while and said slowly, "When a magician cultivates and uses magic, his spirit will naturally be immersed in the elements of magic. When a large number of magical elements with completely opposite properties are poured into the body, the magician will be trapped in it because he is completely unable to control this diametrically opposed magical element, and thus will be cut off from communication with the outside world, leaving only the instinct of the body. ”
Arthur's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and for the first time, someone could explain Arya's current state so clearly using the principles of magic, "Great Magician, is there any way to save my friend?"
"Generally speaking, because the magic elements are fluid, the magic elements poured into the body will gradually weaken, and after a period of time, the magician himself will be able to come to his senses. But your friend's situation is more peculiar, and there is hope that he will come to his senses, but it is very slim. ”
"Is she on her own?" Arthur asked.
"If she relies on external forces, she will need to open a small hole in the dark magic that envelops her spirit, and then guide her spirit to absorb the magic elements of her own system from the outside world to speed up the expulsion of the dark magic elements. But as far as I know, none of the twelve Terran magics are capable of communicating spirits. ”
"That means there's no way, is it?" said Arthur's mood plummeted from the peak of the mountain to the bottom in an instant.
Joan, who was a bystander, was much more sober than Arthur, "Teacher, just now you said that there is no spiritual magic in human magic, but what about other races?"
The Great Mage of Li'an smiled slightly, "The elves are the closest creatures to nature, and their natural magic can communicate animals and plants, relying on spiritual power. ”
"So, Arya finally has hope!" Arthur had been pressing on the boulder for years, and finally saw hope of moving away.
