Chapter 336: Borrowing Books
"Actually, I don't know much about flowers. ”
Wu Ge muttered. He put the book back on the shelf and pulled out another one.
"The Magic of the Holiday Celebration is still a relatively high rate of borrowing. Heider enthuses, "This book mainly introduces knowledge such as the casting of magic fireworks, the making of magic lamps, and so on. You'll know when you celebrate the festival with us, those students are really messing around with the festival. ”
Heider said with a giggle.
"Ahh ”
Wu Ge scratched his head.
"None of this is very practical...... Is there a combat class?"
He asked. Actually, he wanted to change places. Maybe there were English books on other shelves? He didn't expect Chinese books here, and he only had one foreign language.
"Of course. The greatest function of magic is combat...... Please follow me. ”
Hyder energetically led Wu Ge through the rows of bookshelves.
"It's all about fighting. ”
He pointed to the bookshelf beside him and introduced it with satisfaction.
"Ahh ”
Wu Ge walked to the bookshelf expectantly.
"Damn...... Still don't recognize it!"
Wu Ge looked at the book in his hand with a gloomy face.
"'The Essentials of Underwater Attack Magic,'" said Haider, looking at the book in Wugo's hand, "it's a book written in the nineteenth century, but it's a classic, and it's not outdated yet. ”
Underwater attack magic? Wu Ge really wanted to take a look. But......
"Oh, then I'd better look at the modern ones...... Does this book look relatively new?"
Wu Ge pulled out another book, and the result was ...... It's still cold in my heart.
"A Few Tips for Improving the Effect of Earth Magic". Well. This is a book written by the great Great Wizard Jackson, both theoretical and practical. ”
Haider commented.
"Oh. ”
Wu Ge's gaze swept over the rows of book spines on the bookshelves, and his heart became more and more panicked.
Haider looked surprised.
"You...... It can't be Latin, right?"
He said slowly.
"Latin?uh...... Truly. This is not taught in schools. ”
Wu Ge admitted embarrassedly.
"Ahh ”
Heider spread his hands.
"I blame me for this, I didn't think of it beforehand. He said sincerely, "Otherwise, I will organize someone to translate a batch for you...... Why don't I translate for you?"
"Ah...... Do you only have Latin books here?"
"Yes, this is a tradition of the Academy of Magic. All books to enter the Magical Library must be written in Latin, or translated into Latin. ”
"That's right. ”
Wu Ge looked at the bookshelves that reached to the ceiling and were full of books, and he was simply disappointed.
"Of course. There are also very few other scripts. These books are mainly some important monographs, in case there are errors in the translation, and they are left for comparison......"
"Oh?"
Wu Ge's spirits lifted.
"For example, Greek, Sanskrit, Arabic and cuneiform. ”
Heider said calmly.
Wu Ge......
"But don't be discouraged. We will definitely solve this problem quickly. You must know that His Excellency the Chief Wizard attaches great importance to the communication between the East and the West, and yesterday he also emphasized that he must be open and honest with you, without reservation. Haider smiled. "As for now," he said, pulling a book from the shelf. He said, "Let me translate it for you." ”
"Ugh. This is really troublesome......"
"Oh, it's okay, that's what I do. Heider smiled and said, "I recommend this book to you, The Most Powerful Fire Magic." The book's preface reads......"
Haider approached Wu Ge and read in a low voice as he lowered his head and flipped through the book.
Wu Ge wanted to refuse, but Haider bowed his head. His "round light" is perfectly presented in front of Wu Ge.
In terms of looking at Yuanguang, Wu Ge's level is indeed not very high. But. He can still see a rough idea.
This kid is a little gloating? Wu Ge thought to himself. And it looks ...... This is a set they have arranged in advance!
Wu Ge slowly began to feel annoyed...... To keep it secret, this is no problem, it is completely understandable. But don't pretend to be confused and deliberately trick me, okay?
"'The essence of all magic is to borrow the power of nature, and fire magic is no exception, but it also has its peculiarities......'"
Haider dutifully recited.
"Dear Mr. Haider," said Wu Ge, baring eight teeth, "I would like to see this book. ”
"Oh?"
Haider was a little surprised, but he still took the book that Wu Ge handed over.
"Oh, it's Wild Hunting Magic, not strictly ......"
"The cover of this book is interesting, is it?"
"Ah, "The Comprehensive Use of Magic". The book ......"
"This book is so thick! It must be very profound, right?"
"Well, this is Beyond Elemental Magic, written in ......"
"Wow, these books must be a set, and they must be very systematic. ”
"Yes, it's a set of ......"
......
In the blink of an eye, Haider had a large stack of books in his hand.
"Don't be surprised. Wu Ge turned his head and grinned and said, "Our ...... Magic has always been passed down by word of mouth, and I can't help but see so many books at once. ”
"Ah, understandable......"
"So, with so many books translated, it won't bother you too much, right?" Wu Ge continued to look at the bookshelves with great interest, looking for the thickest books. "I guess this will be a great opportunity for you to study as well, huh?"
"Of course...... But I remember a proverb in your country, 'If you are greedy, you can't chew it.'" ’”
Heider subtly hinted as he struggled to balance a stack of books.
I guess there is a similar proverb in many countries, and that's a universal truth...... So, what is this book?"
"Encyclopedia of Magic Patterns...... Since you admit that this is a universal truth, then ......"
"What about this book...... What did you just say?"
"I said that since you also agree that 'you can't chew too much' is ......"
"No, I mean books...... What did you say was the name of that book?"
"Oh, it's the Encyclopedia of Magic Patterns. ”
......
Haider had cast a spell to levitate the large stack of books beside him, holding only a thick book in his hand.
"Encyclopedia of Magic Patterns?"
Wu Ge tucked the book back into the shelf and snatched the book from Heidel's hand.
It was indeed a "grab", because Haider hugged it very tightly.
"You just said that I can borrow as many books as I like?"
Wu Ge grinned as he flipped through the book.
"Indeed, His Excellency the Chief Wizard instructed so. Well, though, this book isn't really worth ......."
Haider tried to salvage the situation.
"No...... You're right, greed really can't chew it. I'll borrow this book. ”
――――7788――――
"Encyclopedia of Magic Patterns?"
Riddle mused.
"Yes. ”
Heider replied. Coming out of the Magic Library, he rushed to report to Riddle under the pretext that he had urgent matters to attend to.
"Did he ask for a copy?"
"Not really. ”
Haider said.
"Now that he's got it, there's no way we can get it back, and we'll be dishonest...... You should have tried to convince him to read another book. ”
Riddle reproached.
"Yes, yes. ”
Haider replied, but he was saying in his heart: I didn't persuade him, he couldn't read the other books, so it was easy to have a book with pictures, would he let it go?
"But it's not a big deal. Our goal was to build mutual trust and unity. Chief Archwizard Riddle said reluctantly. "It's you, Haider, that you panicked about such a trivial matter, and actually left our distinguished Oriental guest and ran back alone. What kind of place is the Academy of Magic? There are so many mischievous students there, what if something happens to the distinguished guests?"
He rebuked.
"But I think his level is ...... than those students."
"It's not a question of who can beat whom. Riddle said angrily. "Whenever there is a dispute, we are not considerate...... You still don't understand that?"
"Yes, yes. That ......"
"You can go back quickly. Things should be arranged in the afternoon, and don't mess up again. ”
"I knew it wouldn't go wrong. ”
After Heiddle left, Riddle pondered for a moment.
This young man is really clever enough. He thought. Originally, he also had the mentality of not seeing the rabbit and not scattering the eagle, and just wanted to make a gesture and wait for the other party to have a substantial return...... Who knows......
But fortunately, it's just a book, and it's not a big proportion for a magic library. (To be continued......)
