my age of magic

Chapter 256 56. Library

Walking on the forest path leading to the library, I felt that the fire element in the air was much more restless than usual, and a bad premonition arose in my heart, which made me rush towards the library.

Through the gap between the trees, you can see that the gate of the library is crowded with people. From a distance, they are crowded together in a mess. I guess something must have happened at the gate of the library.

Because of its special shape, this giant mushroom-like building has many structural layouts that are also very restricted. The entrance and exit of this building are designed to be very narrow, and the double-helix staircase can only allow three people to walk side by side. , Once some accidents happen on the stairs, causing traffic jams, it will easily cause congestion.

However, most of the people who went in and out of the library were warrior apprentices and magic apprentices in the college, as well as some tutors in the college. These people were of relatively high quality and usually relatively orderly.

I huddled behind the chaotic crowd and looked inside. These onlookers were all students from the academy. I followed their gaze and saw five magic apprentices from the third-year fire class, all dressed in uniform and dedicated to magic. Robes, standing side by side on the steps, holding a ball of hot fire between their hands, blocking everyone's way in front of the library door.

I breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the abnormal magic fluctuation in the air was just someone using fireball at the library door without authorization. I thought someone had set this century-old building on fire!

And in front of the library door, a young nobleman wearing Mithril magic robes was standing on the steps, holding a bunch of bright red roses in one hand, standing there quietly and looking at the library door affectionately .The luxurious magic robe paired with his milk-smooth skin showed his nobility and extraordinaryness.

I think this senior must be a descendant of a great nobleman in El City. His aristocratic temperament is deeply engraved in his bone marrow. Just standing on the steps of the library, he looks so lonely and extraordinary.

Helena, who was wearing a light sheepskin battle skirt and a delicate blue deerskin sleeveless coat, stood on the steps of the library gate with a look of astonishment. The gate had been tightly blocked by the mage friends of the young noble senior. Helen Na looked at the scene at the entrance of the library in astonishment, an expression of embarrassment and helplessness appeared on her beautiful face, and those clear eyes like star lakes innocently looked at the young noble senior without saying a word.

I am afraid that the blocking of the door has been going on for quite a while, and the students who were blocked outside began to feel dissatisfied, but the few fire magic apprentices who guarded the fire magic apprentices holding the fireball with their bare hands, the students outside were very deterrent, even if there were There is no way to bring up different voices first at this time, otherwise, this talkative person will definitely have a grudge with the noble senior who put on this battle.

"Helena, are you here to pick up my roses? More and more people will gather here. I just want everyone in the academy to know that Abigail, a magic apprentice in my fire magic class Er, I like Helena from Warrior Academy very much." The young noble senior spoke slowly, but his tone was full of absolute confidence, he lowered his head and gently raised his sword eyebrows, raised his eyes and waited for Helena to come forward, Take the bouquet of roses in his hand.

Unexpectedly, at this time Helena was completely unmoved, not even the slightest sound of words.

She pushed the big wavy hair that blocked her eyes behind her ears, revealing half of her unparalleled beauty. Although she was still so immature, her beauty could conquer everyone.

Abigail blinked her golden eyes, and said to Helena: "Helena, hurry up and accept my flowers, the students here are all waiting to enter the library to read! Let's not affect other people! "

After hearing Abigail's words, Helena looked outside hesitantly, biting her pink lips in embarrassment and not speaking.

At this time, some students who were blocked outside had already seen some clues. It was very obvious that the girl opposite did not like Abigail very much. These things were Abigail's wishful thinking, so someone shouted in the crowd outside Said: "Abigail, get out of the way, that girl is the most beautiful school girl in this class of Warrior Academy, but the hero in people's hearts is not you, you just stand here for 100 years, the fart is useless No!"

"Perhaps they already have someone they like, Abigail, get out of the way! You keep so many people out of the library, aren't you afraid that the radish in the discipline department will invite you to drink herbal tea?" A harsh voice came from the crowd.

Radish is the nickname of Robert, the director of the Teaching Office. He is nearly fifty years old and his figure is a bit out of shape. He looks like a white radish that is as thick as the top and bottom. Therefore, many students in the college privately call him Radish.

As soon as the harsh words fell, there was a lot of applause. Obviously, although many people do not want to offend such a rich and powerful nobleman, it does not mean that they will agree with Abigail's actions. When someone satirizes Abigail When Bigel was around, this group of people would stand aside and watch the fun without hesitation
"Ha ha……"

The sarcastic words in the crowd changed the face of the imposing magic apprentice Abigail in a moment. The excitement and passion on his face gradually dissipated after these people laughed.Hidden under the smiling face was a look of displeasure. This confident magic apprentice was a little bit embarrassed.

I sighed secretly in my heart, thinking that such a superficial way of picking up girls would have a little effect on some girls who are vain and have a crush on Abigail, but for those girls who are mature and independent, It can only be a worse impression.

"Whoever is talkative, let him have a taste of fireball!" One of the magic apprentices standing at the door holding the fireball in his hands shouted loudly. Spread out a little.

Fire magic has always been the most mainstream magic in the Grimm Empire. These second-year magicians have learned the seventh-level magic skill "Fireball". After they have this powerful magic, they gradually realized this. There are many benefits brought by magic. Once they learn to use the "fireball technique", the waists of the magic apprentices will be straightened. This magic apprentice made the crowd outside the library completely dumbfounded.

At this time, Ying Li Jiao Xiao's figure appeared from the library door. I think she was worried about Helena's loss, so she stood by Helena's side without hesitation, followed by Lagertis and Becky, Among the four girls, only Yingli is a bit ordinary, Becky is slightly inferior to Helena in terms of appearance alone, but her figure is slightly better than Helena, and Lagertis' figure is even taller , a little on the thin side.The four girls standing together at the door of the library is actually a magnificent sight.

"Let's go upstairs and read some more books!" Becky frowned. This kind of thing has happened before, but it hasn't become so bad.Seeing that the way out was blocked, he proposed to go back to the library again.

"Yes, let's go back!" Lagertis also agreed. She was wearing a pair of vertical-striped tight-leg pants today, which looked like a cute compasses.

Seeing that Helena turned to leave, the young nobleman Abigail became a little anxious, and suddenly stepped forward two steps, stretched out his hand to grab Helena's wrist, and raised her hand to her chest, holding the unprepared Helena staggered and took two steps forward, which startled Helena a lot. After she realized it, she tried to withdraw her hand, but Abigail's big hand was like iron pliers.

Helena is an apprentice swordsman, no matter how weak she is, she will not lose to Abigail, who is a magic apprentice. Ying Li once praised Helena's excellent swordsmanship, but I have never seen one.

"What do you want to do?" Helena asked Abigail with rounded eyes in surprise and anger. I think this girl is too calm, and she is still plotting against Abigail at this time, making the young nobleman's face Stamped with a "bullying" seal.

"Promise to be my dance partner, and I'll take someone away!" Abigail said directly, as if she thought Helena was really afraid of him.

Helena was also stubborn. Although one hand was held in someone else's, her tone was not weak at all: "Let me go! How can you be like this..."

Yingli seems to be very busy in the past two days, unless she can be seen when we have a big class together, she has not read a book with me in the library for several days, and it is rare to be free in the morning Going to the library has become a little hobby of the two of us. We only have a little time to hide in the library and enjoy the quiet and cozy atmosphere there.

Although the magic power test needs to last all morning, for every magic freshman, it only takes a moment to finish.The only trouble is waiting quietly at the entrance of the laboratory building. The students who are further behind in the line will be tested later.Ying Li and I finished the mana test very early, and it was rare that we had a little time to chat in the library. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Ying Li was at the door of the library, looking at Abigail angrily, complaining in his heart why this ignorant guy was standing in the way all the time.

Lagertis went to pull Helena's sleeve, but Becky quickly stood beside Helena, holding Abigail's palm tightly with both hands, trying to separate his big hand holding Helena, But failed.

I think it's not that Becky is not strong enough, she may be worried that she will break Abigail's hand.Becky, who took the fighting route, didn't dare to really use her strength. The consequence of doing so would be to be invited to the teaching office of the Warrior Academy for questioning.Because Abigail is a genuine magic apprentice, and is protected by the laws specially set up by the Grimm Empire for nobles.

Although Abigail has been pestering very forcefully, in the end Helena finally pulled out her hand, turned around and ran into the library.Ying Li and others also returned to the library on the second floor. Abigail's carefully planned confession ceremony ended in failure.

He stood with the five classmates with a livid face, and looked at the backs of the four girls when they went upstairs with a very complicated expression.

Boos rang out from all around, apparently the audience thought that such an ending was a little flat, in fact, there should be a heroic figure standing up, using sword and magic to defeat these love losers, and then win the favor of all the girls.Such a person has never appeared from the beginning to the end.

The crowd finally began to gradually disperse... People entered the library one after another, and I also climbed the steps and walked into the library with the flow of people.At this time, Abigail stood there dejectedly, sniffing the warm fragrance on her wrist, and left sadly.

I think next time, at least he should at least learn how to keep a low profile and how to take into account other people's feelings, so that people don't hate him.

When I passed by him, I realized that he was actually a head taller than me...

...beautiful dividing line...

"Anyway, you must come back to watch the cultural performance in the afternoon. Helena and I have prepared a show. Don't miss it!" Ying Li was holding a magic book of essays, flipping through it absent-mindedly. Then, repeating this matter repeatedly.

I was in the innermost layer of the library, and I flipped through a copy of "Detailed Explanation of Ice Shield Magic", which is now regarded as a treasure. At this time, I had already buried my head on the book case, and studied the contents of the book word by word. , Hearing what Yingli said, he nodded and agreed: "I will go to the scene early after I try on the dress this afternoon!"

"En!" Hearing what I said, Ying Li was very happy, a dimple appeared on his face.

After a while, Yingli asked again: "Then, do you want me to take a seat for you in the front row?"

Startled, I looked up at her.

After that night in the Rose Garden, it seemed that the hazy and thin veil between me and Ying Li had been lifted. In the past, we just ran together in the morning, and occasionally when there was a big class in the morning, Go to the cafeteria to eat together at noon, or go to the library to read books together.We didn't say any intimate words between us, everything was very plain.

But now, there seemed to be some eager light in her eyes, and there was always a touch of shyness in her sweet smile.

"Don't you still have to prepare for the performance backstage? It seems that I have more free time. I will try to find a seat near the front and applaud you! However, I have something to say first. If the performance is poor and there is no one to applaud, I won't be so stupid as to stand up and applaud you alone." I said to her solemnly, and Ying Li rolled my eyes in anger.

Then, I went on to ask: "Then do you want me to rush up and give you a bouquet of flowers?"

Ying Li pursed his lips and smiled, without expressing anything or speaking.

I smiled and said to her: "It goes without saying that Helena and Becky are there. Someone will come to the stage to deliver flowers, and Lagertis is okay too. Although the pants she is wearing today are a bit avant-garde, they are beautiful. With a face and a tall figure, someone will definitely be willing to give her a bouquet of flowers. At that time, you will be left without flowers, how pitiful it is!"

"Jijia, why are you so annoying!" Ying Li lowered his voice and whispered in my ear.

Ying Li was driven a little crazy by my anger, and he didn't even bother to read the essay describing the magic story, and the "Detailed Explanation of Ice Shield Magic" in my hand has been stuck on page No.13, and it has not been flipped for a quarter of an hour Pass.

Helena, Lagertis, and Becky are all warrior apprentices, and cannot enter the mage's reading area, so the three of them sat on the edge of the fence and chatted, which was very relaxed and comfortable.There are always some young magicians, pretending to fetch a book or pour a glass of water, and walk past them slowly, trying to find the most suitable time to strike up a conversation.

The three beautiful girls are the focus of attention no matter where they go.

Helena still raised her hand from time to time to see if the bluish purple marks on her wrist had faded away.They are not too far away from Yingli and me, and I can still hear Becky's silvery laughter from time to time, although they have lowered the volume.Sometimes I wonder how Yingli became their friend.

"Go with that new assistant teacher, Morayal?" Ying Li asked me.I know what Yingli is referring to is going to try on the dress in the afternoon.

My eyes fell on the complex magic circle of the ice shield skill, I nodded and said, "Yes."

I remember that Sister Guoguo is very good at using the magic of ice shield. The magic circle and spells of this ice magic are very lengthy. Once the rhythm is a little out of sync, it will make this magic fail. I think the most urgent thing is to learn it first" "Time stagnation", only after learning this magic, can learn other magic with twice the result with half the effort.

For a long time, Ying Li didn't speak, just kept his head down and read the book, the atmosphere was very dull.

I know, although she told me she didn't mind me going to the ball with Morayal, she was obviously still thinking about it, and she still had a knot in her heart!So I said, "How about we go together?"

She didn't understand at first, so I said it again.

Ying Li didn't even think about it, so she shook her head, continued to read her essay, and then blushed and said, "I don't, it's fine if I go with Becky and the others, don't think that no one will Ask me to dance, I just don't like talking to him."

Seeing that the corners of Yingli's eyes were a little red, I quickly said, "Okay, okay, I know Yingli is a very cute girl, anyway, I don't know how to dance, and when the time comes, let's go eat the delicacies at the ball together!"

Although Ying Li pretended not to hear, I noticed that her small crystal earlobes were moving slightly, obviously listening attentively.

The ice shield technique is a bit difficult. The most important point is to freeze it into a shield shape when it is in the water form. The magic circle is very complicated. I spent a long time, but I still can't draw it completely.

The magic pattern of the ice shield technique is very exquisite. Seeing such a beautiful rune pattern, I have an urge to describe it. I want to use my magic engraving pen to give these beautiful patterns a new look. vitality, let those magic powers be contained in the magic parchment.

"I've decided to join the Inscription Club in a few days." I said to Yingli without raising my head, "I want to learn some knowledge about magic runes from them. A few days ago, when I passed by the magic shop, I saw Some magic scrolls, I was shocked to ask the shopkeeper for the price, those scrolls are really expensive..."

Ying Li was a little surprised and asked: "Are you going to be an inscription master in the future? This requires a certain talent. Inscriptions require a magician to be very strict in manipulating magic elements. You need to spend a lot of time practicing manipulating spells. It takes up quite a lot of your time, those inscription masters will never be high-level great magicians, they hardly have much time to learn magic skills, and they don't have enough time to meditate!"

"I just have an idea, I found that I like making magic scrolls!" I said, pointing to the magic circle pattern of the ice shield skill on the magic book, and then said to Ying Li: "I think it is very It’s so beautiful, I can’t help but want to draw it!”.

Ying Li closed the pages of the miscellaneous documents, propped his chin with both hands, raised his head and said to me: "That's great! If you can learn how to draw magic patterns in the future, you can help me draw a magic pattern, okay... ..."

"Okay." I said with a smile: "When the time comes, you just don't think the array I drew is ugly. I can assure you that the scrolls I give you will be very useful."

At this time, Ying Li's was inexplicably a little red.

In the entire library, the two freshmen Ying Li and I are very special. We didn't race against time to meditate like other freshmen, but spent leisurely reading some essays or the structural drawings of the magic pattern circle all day long.

We stayed in the library until lunch time, and then we came out of the library with endless excitement.

"Here you are!" Ying Li reached out to take off the earrings from Fen Nen's earlobe when he walked out of the library door, put them in his palm and handed them to me.

I was stunned, and said strangely: "Why did you give me this earring? Do you want me to wear earrings like you, and wear such an earring to make me feel sloppy?"

"Your score in the magic test in the morning was not very good!" Seeing that I didn't accept it, Ying Li asked me directly.

I nodded. Recently, I have rarely meditated. My magic vortex has kept my mana full. I don't use meditation at all, and my magic pool has not been significantly enhanced. , but Teacher Heidi has helped me solve this problem.

Teacher Heidi is still looking forward to the test, and the magic power contained in my magic pool will be able to perform well.But for some reason, even though my magic pool is filled with mana all the time, the volume of the magic pool has not been expanded too much.But the specific reason is hard to say, but Ying Li didn't know about the magic vortex. She always thought that I spent too much time with her, so I didn't have a chance to meditate. Difference.

"What is the function of this earring, you should already know it!" Ying Li said to me directly.

"I don't want you to be warned by the teacher again when you test your magic power next time. If you don't like meditation, it doesn't matter. Wearing my earrings is similar to meditation." Ying Li finally expressed his thoughts , it seems that she is worried that if I always accompany her like this, it will affect my practice progress, so she wants to wear that earring for me, so that I can catch up with the progress of the magic pool.

She was worried that I would not accept her kindness, so she said to me: "Actually, I don't hate meditation. It's useless to keep these earrings with me. Wear them for you! I can find a rope to string them up and hang them on the earrings." On your neck!"

I lightly pressed the inconspicuous earring in the palm of her hand with my fingers. Who would have thought that this small jewelry was actually a magic artifact, and it was the rare type of magic artifact that gathers magic power.Such things are rare in the market.It is a very good auxiliary tool for magic apprentices like us.

This thing is the kind of good thing that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it in the market.But the last thing I need is it.

My magic vortex is like a large magic circle, constantly replenishing my magic power.I really don't need this kind of magic-gathering earrings that help gather magic power, so I didn't accept Ying Li's kindness.I was worried that Yingli would think too much after being rejected by me, so I simply took off the magic core that Kutz gave me from my neck. The texture on Hei Qiuqiu's magic core has been smoothed, and now It looked like a pebble the size of an egg. I handed this inconspicuous pendant to Ying Li and said: "This is a gift from my best brother, and now I will give it to you. you."

Yingli didn't expect that instead of accepting her magic jewelry, I would give her my precious pendant instead. I was so moved that I couldn't express it for a while, and asked me to help her wear it on her snow-white neck in a shy way. ...
