I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

The two of them spoke in unison and their voices overlapped in surprise, appearing to be in perfect agreement.

Cheng Rang put down the teacup slowly.

"If there is a book that can supervise your study and you can't take a break until you finish reading it, you will become an excellent man like me - forced to do so."

"Tch~~" Zabu leaned back on the sofa with a disdainful expression, "Even if there is a book like that, I won't read it. Only a fool would make himself uncomfortable."

Cheng Rang twitched the corner of his mouth and said to Zha Bu with a smile: "Ha... ha... do you mean to say that I am a fool?"

"I, I didn't mean that! You understood it this way!" Zabu was so stunned by Cheng Rang's narrowed eyes that he quickly shrank his feet and denied it.

Cheng Rang was not angry about this, because he felt quite relaxed after being able to chat with the people in Lebra like this for a long time. He explained: "I have plans to learn spells recently, and then I went to find Lieti. Siya has become a disciple."

"Eh? Learning spells...are you serious?"

"of course it's true."

Leo was slightly startled and said with a smile, "Isn't that great?"

"Well, I gained a lot, but I don't have time to fish... I have to say that after reading the first book this morning, I felt a sense of loss and unfinished content." Cheng Rang smacked his lips, and then He drank all the black tea in the cup and said, "Stop talking, go back and continue reading. My spell practice has just begun."

"Eh!? You've obviously been working hard for almost a month. Can't you just relax together after finally finishing a book today?"

"That's right! This kid Leo also bought a new car, let's go for a ride together!?" Zabu suddenly threw his arms around Leo's neck and suggested to Cheng Rang.

But unexpectedly, such a proposal was declined by Cheng Rang.

"Sorry, you can go and play. After all, I have decided to learn the conjuration thing first."

"You are really determined in your goal... I rarely see you looking so serious." Zabu let go of the struggling Leo and his expression became serious.

"Yeah, after all, it's not that hard after getting used to it. I'll treat you to a drink next time. Let's go."

Cheng Rang waved his hand and got up from the sofa, said goodbye to Klaus, Jet and others in the association hall, and returned to the bookshelf through any door.

As soon as he entered the door, the black-haired girl sitting behind the table took the initiative to talk to him.

When Danterian saw Cheng Rang walking over, she raised her head from her book: "Cheng, Leticia and the others are back."

"Huh?"

I have to say that this news also gave Cheng Rang a surprise, and the time was just right: "When did you come back?"

"Just after you left, you just came back."

"Where are the people?"

"The room where you were reading."

"I got it - wife! Welcome back~~"

Cheng Rang then ran towards the reading room and disappeared without a trace amid Danterian's warning that "no running or making loud noises in the bookshelf".

"This guy... is real!"

Chapter 55: Short and dazzling

Pushing open the door of the reading room, Cheng Rang immediately saw Leticia standing in front of the table and Isabella sitting next to her.

Leticia raised her eyes from the forbidden book in front of her. While caressing the thick ancient book cover, she smiled in a slightly surprised tone and said to Cheng Yi who pushed the door in and said, "The progress is very fast, better than mine." Much faster than expected, you have actually finished reading this book."

"Yes, unknowingly...I even suddenly felt a little unfinished after reading it." Cheng Rang smiled, and then said to Isabella beside him: "Welcome back, my wife, how are you studying magic? ?”

Isabella sat on the chair with her head lowered, her mood seemed a little depressed. Seeing this situation, Cheng Rang quickly comforted her and said, "Oh, magic!"

There is no need to be sad if you haven’t learned it well. After all, this thing requires talent. You are already very good! "

After hearing this, Leticia just sneered and pointed to the badge on Isabella's chest.

"Look carefully, this is the certification badge of a tenth-level witch. Your wife is also a genius in terms of magic talent."

"..."

Cheng Rang huffed, pursed his lips, came to Isabella and looked at her for a few moments, then turned around and asked, "Then why does she look so disappointed?"

"I can't bear to leave the magic teacher over there." Leticia sighed with a wry smile and patted Isabella on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think about those things. It's not like you can't go back to visit her, Grace. That guy from Tana won’t die in another two or three hundred years.”

Isabella raised her head and smiled reluctantly. When she saw Cheng Rang again, her inner thoughts were more complicated than before.

"Ok, I know...."

Gresta will not die in another two or three hundred years, letitia even more so.

Compared with the most important people around me now...my own life is so short, and I have to make the most difficult choice even after I die.

When I thought of this, Isabella couldn't be happy.

We reunited after a long absence, but the atmosphere didn't seem as relaxed and happy as expected, which gave Cheng Rang a headache.

In the end, it was Leticia who broke the heavy air. She first put away the forbidden book, and with a wave of her hand, the huge book weighing a hundred kilograms flew out of the door, drifting towards the bookshelf and disappearing.

"Okay, I don't care about the personal issues between you two. I'll leave it to you to solve on your own later. Cheng has made your progress so that you can proceed to the next step of study."

She patted the second book "Contrast Variations of Spell Forms and Esperanto Texts" placed on the table.

"You only need to read the first to forty-eight pages of this book first, and then you can practice. I will give you one morning and come to me before three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, got it."

"As for Isa...you should take a good vacation for yourself this week."

Leticia seemed to have noticed her previous gaffe. For the only human girl among them, it was obviously not that easy for her to accept such a life journey that could be seen all the way through at a glance.

Even though she is a top genius in both conjuration and magic, with this extraordinary talent, she is still limited by the short-lived race of [human beings].

The time is too short...it can't even support her to go further. She can't master any of the forbidden magic that can extend her lifespan and the time spell that requires a price.

The former required chanting a spell that would have taken a hundred years even if prepared in advance. The Isabella with the same name as her succeeded because she was more or less an immortal half-elf, but as a human Isabella could not do it. get.

The latter's time curse...Normal human brains and the short lives they experience cannot fully understand the concept of [causality], so even the step of paying the price cannot be achieved, let alone what is needed later.

【time】

In the end, everything is [time].

Not enough time, not enough anyway...but—

Watching Isabella slowly leave, Leticia sighed inwardly and looked at Cheng Rang aside.

Doesn't he even realize this now?

"Come to your senses. Isabella can adjust on her own. You don't have to worry. We are just wasting time now."

"Ah, I'm sorry...but I still care a little bit."

"After you finish studying today, you can go home and be with her. I will try my best to practice with you before getting off work at eight o'clock in the evening. Now -" Leticia tapped the cover of the book hard, "Continue studying!"

"Yes~Teacher Leticia~"

"What? Your perfunctory tone, are you kidding me?"

"Eh, no!"

boom! The sound of something hitting the head was heard, followed immediately by Cheng Rang's scream.

"Ouch!"

"Have you relaxed since you haven't been spanked recently? The Forbidden Book cannot continue to urge you, but I can."

"Are you a devil!? I finally planned to steal the fish——"

boom!

"Ouch!"

"Stop talking nonsense and learn quickly!"

.......

Saying goodbye to the black-haired Miss Tatrian, who was eating snacks and reading a book at the door, Isabella suddenly realized when Isabella walked out of the bookshelf that Dantrian, who looked like a child, was already thousands of years old.

"How come I'm surrounded by people who live such long lives!"

Isabella ruffled her hair in distress, took off the witch hat that Gresta gave her, held it in her arms, and walked slowly down the street.

"well....."

The girl couldn't help but sigh again, but then she remembered what Gresta had said to herself. Now that she was thinking about these things that she could not solve, it would only increase her worries and would not help anything.

It is better to think about how to spend every day wonderfully now. After all, you have the gift that both Gresta and Letitia envy - this short and dazzling life.

You don’t have to go through too many partings, you can meet important people again briefly and frequently, and you never have to think about what “forever” really means to you.

even

You can live in panic as much as you want...

[Isa... Being able to see each other again is the luckiest thing in the world for me, so... thank you. 】

"Can we say farewell again..." The girl looked at the witch's hat in her hand. This kind of accessory that belongs to the aesthetics of another world can only remind people of the word Halloween, but even if she is wearing it, It will not be looked at strangely by passers-by.

After all, this is Helsalemzlot, a place where humans, ghosts, gods, monsters and monsters coexist.

The girl who wanted to talk to others about her troubles put on her witch hat again, lightly jumped twice, and felt the texture of the shoes under her feet.

"Good morning, Via."

The moment the words fell, cyan light wings unfolded behind the shoes, violently fanning the wind. Under the astonished gazes of passers-by, Isabella's figure rushed into the sky in the blink of an eye. It spun around deftly, leaving behind little flashes of magical light, and disappeared between the buildings in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 56 If you do this again, I’m going to call the police, you evildoer!

After about a month of hard study, Cheng Rang had basically mastered the basic language and grammar of spell casting. When he went to study the second book, he could clearly feel that he could get used to it even without Shujiang's supervision. Consistently maintain a good learning state to absorb new knowledge.

What Leticia said is actually correct. Not all forbidden books are harmful to people.

Even if he was beaten by Shujiang while fishing, it was still part of exercising the strength of his soul. While focusing on absorbing knowledge, the power in the forbidden book was also replenishing and repairing his lack of soul power bit by bit. He is now My state is much better than a month ago when I always felt sleepy.

It only took less than two hours to finish the first forty-eight pages of the second book Leticia assigned to him. Cheng Rang closed the book and briefly recalled the contents of the book. The first forty-eight pages could already contain the spell text. Compared with most of the comparison examples of Esperanto pronunciation, that is to say, he is now able to perform basic spell chanting and spell writing.

"We still need gestures... like seals - um..."

Although she could already sense the spiritual realm, the steps to convert it into spell power were still achieved through trial and error. Leticia didn't tell herself how to do it yet.

He looked up at the time and found that it was noon before he knew it. He called Isabella but was told that she had already eaten at her sister's house.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Isabella encouraged herself to try to master the spell casting this morning, and Cheng Rang also reminded her to pay more attention to rest.

Then just have a bite and go to Leticia.

After picking up his cell phone and holding a thick book, Cheng Rang opened the door and walked out as usual, saying hello to Danterian at the door.

The bookshelf manager didn't seem worried about what would happen if Cheng Rang took the book away like this. After all, he had also gone home to sleep with the forbidden book in his arms before.

Cheng Rang originally thought that Danterian was reassured about her strength and character, but in fact, what the administrator was thinking was: It is not my book anyway, and even if it is damaged, it will be Letitia's loss.

Her duty is only to guard the [Phantom Books] in the bookshelf. As for the books Leticia placed here later, they can only be regarded as "temporary storage" and have nothing to do with me.

...

The doorbell rang, and the only one who could come to her house at this moment was Cheng Rang. Leticia sat on the sofa and waved her hand, and the door opened in response.

The folded umbrella was dripping with water, and Cheng Rang looked a little embarrassed while holding the book. He quickly turned around and got in.

"Ah haha, it suddenly started raining on the road. Fortunately, I brought an umbrella. Don't worry, your book is not wet!"

There was moisture on the back of the man who smiled and raised the book to her. Leticia pursed her lips and said, "Don't you even check the weather forecast when you go out?"

"Because I haven't been out much recently...so I forgot about it."

"You don't think it's embarrassing for a majestic swordsman to be exposed to the rain like this."

Cheng Rang just smiled and said: "You can't just rely on the sword in your hand to solve everything. After all, I don't hate rain. At least the air is fresh, right?"

"Okay, I don't know what you think, but it's just right." Leticia stood up from the sofa and waved, and the book in Cheng Rang's arms flew over and was placed on the table beside her.

"Today I will teach you the first step in casting spells, Brahma Mantra 1: Spark. If it is only enough to dry clothes, I will judge you as unqualified."

"Eh?! Then how far do I have to go before you are satisfied?"

Leticia crossed her arms and thought for a moment, then said, "Whatever you do must be enough to set this house on fire."

"Hey...this is your home..."

"This building belongs to me, you don't need to remind me."
