Captain Xiangxiang and her idiot team members were speechless after leaving the lecture hall. They just walked hand in hand through the long corridor and walked out of the holy place in the hearts of all the magicians in the mainland. Until the complicated situation between the Lan Xin siblings When his eyes came over, the somewhat dazed Chief Xiangxiang suddenly woke up. He immediately took out his hand, retracted the hem of his wide robe, coughed lightly, calmly adjusted his glasses, and said calmly:
"Teacher Thea wanted to make a pass for him, so it was delayed for a while..."
Lan Xin just said "hmm" softly, walked to Xiangxiang, took the captain's arm as usual, and glanced at the stupid boy sheepishly, but stopped talking.
But Lan Ling spoke first:
"Hey, Yu, you win! Tell me your request. According to the agreement, you can do whatever you want from me!"
Lan Ling's face turned red, and he was mumbling out each word stiffly, but he kept trying to look directly into Yu's eyes. Although his momentum was a little low, his stubborn seriousness was not the same as when he made the bet. difference.
This suddenly made Yu feel embarrassed, because before Lan Ling spoke, this stupid boy had already regarded this competition as an ordinary competition in his heart, at best, it was just like a formal battle like a practical class, and completely forgot about it. It’s already a holy duel…
As for the bet requirements, he had no idea at all and didn't know how to answer...
——Who told him that he has never dueled with anyone...
Yu had no choice but to look at Xiangxiang for help.
Xiangxiang sighed secretly, thinking how could he have such a weird team member? He really had no common sense at all...
When she was about to speak, her sleeve was pulled hard by Lan Xin, and she heard Lan Xin whisper in her ear:
"Sister Xiangxiang, no matter what, this is a sacred duel after all! What's more, there is also Teacher Thea as a witness. Just let them solve it by themselves. No matter what the result is, we siblings will definitely accept it... "
——Like contracts, duels are also one of the traditions passed down from the ancient dynasty in the human world.
This method with a strong sense of chivalry has been popular among the entire human race since ancient times. If you openly violate the agreement, you will be looked down upon and even cast aside by everyone!
The so-called promise of a thousand gold may not be used appropriately here, but it is true!
We are proud of keeping promises and regard breaking promises as humiliation! It can be seen that siblings Lan Ling and Lan Xin have received this kind of education since they were young, and they deeply believe in it.
Mistakenly thinking that his sister was trying to put in a good word for him, Lan Ling immediately shouted:
"Sister! Captain Xiangxiang! My promise has not been fulfilled and the sacred duel has not been completed. Please don't disturb us!"
He turned his head and said:
"Don't worry, although our Lan family is not a famous family, we will never go back on our word. No one will come to trouble for any of your requests!"
Looking at the stubborn classmate in front of him, Yu felt inexplicably relaxed, and for some reason, he felt a hint of respect.
...This is truly an upright classmate! Maybe there was some misunderstanding about the previous challenge and hostility...
"In that case, okay, classmate Lan Ling, can you and classmate Lan Xin be my friends?"
Lan Ling was in a daze and stayed there for a while before he said calmly:
"Uh...Huoshuiyu...are you serious? But I just...I was obviously very rude to you just now..."
Yu Zheng looked at Lan Ling who had a look of disbelief on his face and said seriously:
"Yes, you heard it right, they are the kind of friends who are happy together when they are happy, and feel sad together when they are sad, who appreciate each other and correct each other, true friends!"
He whispered:
"I think you also know my situation. I really don't understand why so many male classmates hate me, and the girls are so strange that I don't know how to get along..."
Yu Qiji looked at Lanling expectantly and said sincerely:
"I really hope to have upright friends like you..."
Lan Ling was speechless. He scratched his head, grinned, and looked at his sister a few times sheepishly. The two siblings stretched out their hands at the same time and said in unison:
"As you wish, my friend!"
The palms of the boys and girls folded together, and of course Xiangxiang joined in calmly and naturally. Those shallow smiles were full of extremely touching joy. Such a small and simple moment contained so much meaning. A touching experience that will be remembered for a lifetime!
If there were more of these moments, enough to cover up the darkness of reality, or even enough to fill up memories, then every ordinary person could close his eyes with satisfaction before returning to nothingness...
——Because these moments can be created anytime, anywhere...
...For mortals, happiness may really be something within easy reach...
………………
After chatting briefly, they separated.
At Captain Xiangxiang's suggestion, Yu went to the library to prepare for some basic knowledge of magic circles.
Not to mention Captain Xiangxiang. When there are no classes, she also needs to receive one-on-one guidance from instructor Velen, or help with some paperwork in the magic department. It is difficult to have too much time to do nothing.
In this newly established circle of friends, only the siblings Lan Ling and Lan Xin were left leisurely walking in the college.
...It’s really amazing to say that, Lan Ling thought in his heart.
...After learning the name "Yu" from my sister more than two years ago, I have been disdainful and hostile for a long time. The more my sister showed unusual feelings towards that guy, the more dissatisfied I became! I have never thought of learning more about this legendary figure!
...If they hadn't been in different teams and had basically no contact with each other except for a few theoretical classes, I might have been rude to him long ago...
This feeling lasted until ten minutes ago.
But after that guy said the word "friend" seriously, he accepted it naturally, as if the hostility that had been accumulated for so long was completely imaginary and disappeared without a trace...
"That guy can't be a master of spiritual magic... He has a charm aura or something..."
Lan Ling muttered unconsciously, but remembering the clarity in Yu's eyes when he spoke, he immediately denied it.
——This guy probably really doesn’t have many friends. It seems that apart from that so-and-so in their team, I’ve never seen him interact with anyone else...
...Forget it, just try to save him. Who told my sister to like him...
Lan Xin heard Lan Ling muttering on the side and smiled:
"What's wrong, what are you thinking about?"
Lan Ling looked at his sister, a little embarrassed:
"Sister, I'm so sorry. I made a mistake today. I originally wanted to..."
Before he finished speaking, Lan Xin pouted and interrupted him:
"Humph, I don't know what you are thinking. Do you want to get rid of me so quickly? I think you are itchy..."
Lan Xin pinched Lan Ling's ears and twisted them half a circle, making a very angry look, and muttered with a look of despair:
"Poor sister, I was rejected by my younger brother just after I turned 18. I'm so sad..."
"Oh...it hurts...it hurts...sister, I was wrong!"
Lanling had no resistance at all to his sister's "sadness" mode and raised his hands in surrender.
"Sister, I'm trying to help you with your injustice... It would be great if I won the duel today, so that you two can go on a smooth date..."
"what? What?"
Lan Xin's face turned red and she glared at Lan Ling even more viciously:
"You guy, you don't take dueling seriously, that is to say, you have a good heart. If it had been anyone else, you might have been a cow and a horse for the rest of your life. Let me see what you would do!!
"Say! Do you still dare?!"
Lan Xin increased her strength, and the piece of ear in her hand became even more pitiful...
"...Spare your life, my dear sister..."
Lanling cried and begged loudly for mercy:
"There's no next time...we're all friends..."
Only then did Lan Xin let go, but couldn't help but feel distressed, and gently rubbed Lan Ling's ears.
Lan Ling glanced at Lan Xin secretly, and whispered angrily:
"Sister, I'm not doing it for your own good. Isn't it necessary for people to take the first step when they fall in love? Who is like you? Tian Tianguang knows how to be a nymphomaniac in front of me, and even chats with me for a few words. If this happens or that happens, my ears will almost get calluses..."
He melancholy took out two very finely crafted cards from his pocket and waved them in front of Lan Xin's eyes.
"Here, Miss Lilith's concert tickets are prepared for you two!
"I spent a whole day queuing up to buy it, and all my pocket money for a year was gone..."
Lan Xin's eyes softened. Although her younger brother was careless, he was only thinking about himself. But like Yu, he was also a fool...
"Really, it must be very expensive..."
She whispered:
"Lan Ling, I know you like Miss Lilith very much, but have you ever thought about becoming a lover with her?"
"How is that possible...Miss Lilith is my idol, absolutely no one else. I am her most loyal fan..."
"That's it. To me, Yu is the same as your Miss Lilith..."
"But...after all, you can see each other every day..."
"Brother, this is my truest feeling... Although he is very weak now and can't even defeat me, I believe that in the near future, he will be the kind of person that no one can look directly at. Its existence will amaze the entire world!
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep up with him and be left far behind! Instead of leaving sadly at that time, I would rather keep watching him from a distance and watch over him. At least we can still be friends...
"Brother, do you understand..."
………………
Yu walked quickly towards the library located in the corner of Jialuo Academy.
...Speaking of which, he has never set foot here again since he tried various cultivation methods two years ago without success.
Although the library of Jialuo Academy is located in a remote location and is surrounded by dense woods on all sides, it is very large. The main building alone is far larger than the three-story building of the Magic Building Department.
A small pointed attic was built above the main library on the third floor - it is said that many rare and unique books and secret books are qualified to be stored there. There is also a very powerful formation protecting the passage on the third floor. For ordinary people, Completely inaccessible.
On the four sides of the main building, there are two-story long buildings extending out like arms, each of which is several hundred meters away!
One side of these buildings is an ordinary library, and the other side is inlaid with rows of floor-to-ceiling windows and neatly arranged tables and chairs.
——That is a place prepared for people who cannot take books out of the library to read, or for people who like the reading atmosphere of the library. It is very refreshing and clean!
Yu used to like reading there very much, but when he looked out the window, there were only a few magic puppets walking around in the building on the first floor. The second floor was empty, not a single person...
He was a little puzzled. He remembered that when he came here before, those buildings were basically full, and it was not easy to find a seat... Even the stairs on each floor were almost full of people, and it was common to stand and read. .
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Professor Andel running out of the library in a hurry, followed by several unknown seniors.
The faces of several people were filled with extremely obvious horror... When the professor saw him, he quickly ran closer and lowered his voice and said:
"Yu, why are you coming to the library at this time? Leave as soon as you get the books. Don't stay too long... Also, if you don't have anything important to do, don't go upstairs!"
The professor couldn't suppress his nervousness. He looked back at the dark door with lingering fear and said in a high-pitched voice:
"Let me tell you, one of the top ten incredible events in our Garo Academy - the 'Phantom of the Library' has appeared again after so many years!!!"
Without waiting for the emperor to answer, Professor Andel took the scattered books and ran away with several seniors without looking back. The wind he brought along reluctantly carried the sound of "remember, remember, remember" he dropped. He didn't even notice that a page of paper in his book had fallen.
Yu picked up the page speechlessly and realized that even if he shouted, he would not be able to call back the professor who had disappeared deep into the forest. He shook his head and had no choice but to return it to the professor next time in class.
...Speaking of which, Yu has heard of the "Top Ten Unbelievable Events", but except for the "Experimental Products of Grandmaster Thea" mentioned by Captain Xiangxiang in the formation tutorial class just now, he didn't know anything about the rest. No one knows...
...It’s actually quite normal. It’s impossible to expect a guy who didn’t even know that he had been on the list for more than two years to understand this!
A certain young man who lacked common sense sneezed a few times for no reason. He stood confused between the clear blue sky and the crisp autumn day with the wind blowing. He had no idea that what he had just received was the most profound complaint from the human world itself...
Yu Ran looked at the paper in his hand.
——This turned out to be a beautifully printed promotional poster. A girl in extremely gorgeous clothes and costumes closed her eyes, holding a microphone, and was singing attentively.
She has a pure and calm face, a slender and straight waist, and legs that are so straight that there is no gap. What is even more amazing is the two milky white wings spread out behind her back that are as exquisite as works of art!
On those wings that were unknown whether they were real or fake, there were patterns that were comparable to sophisticated formations, and every pattern revealed how it should feel!
That indescribable and beautiful temperament rushed to my face, as if her ethereal voice, like the sound of nature, was already swirling in my ears...
No matter where she appears on the poster, even in a small corner, she can definitely attract everyone's attention immediately!
What an incredible girl!
Yu tried hard to look away and took a closer look. There were only a few lines of large characters printed on the lower right side of the poster——
"Miss Lilith's Gala City Tour Concert..."
"On the night of December 30, 3002 in the parliamentary calendar..."
"Town Hall Studio 1..."
...Ah, it turns out she is Lilith! The super talented singer known as the "Healing Light" is indeed an extraordinary girl!
Of course I have heard of this lady's fame. It is said that this girl's singing voice is like the sound of nature, which can make thousands of birds worship and hundreds of beasts crouch. She has the power to overwhelm all living beings like a dream!
In some tower areas, there are even rumors that people who were terminally ill and on the verge of death actually recovered after listening to her singing!
Roland didn't know how many times he had whispered about her in his ears, and he had recommended her songs to him more than once!
...But like him, Roland didn't have many crystal coins, so he couldn't afford the extremely high price. Sometimes Roland could still take advantage of the photo rubbings bought by other students at high prices - the kind of high-end products that come with synchronized sound, which was perfect for him. It’s impossible. There’s no need to elaborate on the reasons…
Besides, he would not borrow money from his mother-in-law who took him in out of curiosity, so until now, he has never heard Lilith sing...
...The night of December 30th, isn’t that the eve of the triennial Heroic Spirits Festival? There are still more than two months to go... It’s really a pity to say that, I really want to listen to it...
But he immediately shook his head and shook this thought out of his mind!
——What are you thinking about? Let’s talk about it later when I become stronger, can support myself, and repay the kindness of my mother-in-law and my mistress and Xiaowu. At least for now, these are really too far away...
After calming down, he stepped into the tall and slightly dark door of the library.
...Well, as long as you don't go to the second floor...anyway, what I'm looking for is just an introductory book that's no more elementary than that, so there shouldn't be any problem...
Yu Xin thought and walked towards the reception desk in the lobby.
Standing at the reception desk are two "women" with gorgeous faces - I don't know which library director's vulgar aesthetic - not to mention heavy makeup, but also very revealing clothes, midriff-baring miniskirts and fishnet stockings, super low-cut The small piece of cloth is held up by a completely unreasonable size, and it looks even more exaggerated than some of the aunties with beautiful flowers and branches in the alleys that I pass by every day...
But Yu knew that these two receptionists were just humanoid puppets made by magic.
Although this kind of humanoid puppets cannot be compared with the so-called "perfect creation" artificial humans that have been banned by parliamentary laws for a long time, their facial features and body shape are also very similar to the human body, but they rely on the magic smart chip embedded in the skull to control everything. The movements will only follow the formation instructions solidified in the chip, but it is quite good for use in a place like a library.
"What a beautiful little boy...Hello..."
A female receptionist didn't wait for Yu to come to her, she walked up to her on gentle cat steps, her white and tender hands gently touched Yu's chest, her sweet-smelling lips touched Yu's ears, and she chuckled. :
"What a strong young man! Would you like some special services...it's free..."
The other receptionist seemed to have been beaten first, pouting with some regret, lying softly on the countertop, pushing his chest out of the extremely deep ravine with his arms, and threw a series of flirtatious glances at the caught-off young man, using A slightly hoarse voice whispered:
"Brother, if you have any requests, just ask us. The two of us can be together..."
Yu's face turned red instantly, and just now he actually remembered the scene when he first met Grandmaster Thea...
However, compared to the Sister Thea who came to mind, the reception of the two women in front of them was no longer so unacceptable.
...Hmm...Sister Thea is still beautiful!
Yu unconsciously made a small comparison, her face returned to normal, and she asked warmly:
"Hello, could you please recommend some books about elementary magic circles to me?"
"Huh?"
The two receptionists looked very surprised. They carefully looked at the young man in front of them. There was a faint sense of frustration on the gelatinous face, but the sweet smile made it even more charming.
The person next to Yu naturally held his arm and said with a charming smile:
"There are a lot of elementary formation books. I am not bragging. I can find all the books on these three floors with my eyes closed! Little handsome guy, follow the rules and scan your identity first. Otherwise, I won't be able to find it." There is a way to serve..."
She led the young man to the identity scanner next to the front desk. Her body seemed to have inadvertently hugged Yu's arm tightly, just falling into the middle of the two peaks, as if it was hanging on Yu's body...a hoarse and alluring nasal voice was mixed in at the end. Within a few words, the long eyelashes flashed in front of Yu's face, full of charm.
At this time, the young man's heart was no longer disturbed. Seeing that his arm could not be freed, he stopped using any force. While thinking about the items he wanted to search for, he pressed his hand on the screen of the machine. A short paragraph of text flowed through the machine like water. A green light will soon light up at the top and the scan is complete.
The two receptionists quietly exchanged a few glances and nodded slightly. The one a little further away also came over and stood in front of Yu. With his hands behind his back, his proud figure became more and more prominent. When I got up, the thin piece of clothing on my chest was made of incredible fabric. It was stretched until it was almost transparent, making people feel that it would be torn apart in the next second...
She shyly turned her head to one side, then secretly glanced at the young man in front of her with her peripheral vision, and said softly:
"Little brother, I...I'm ready, please be gentle..."
"Um??…"
Yu was confused, and a huge question mark appeared above his head...
"Uh, please...can you help me look up books..."
I just heard the receptionist beside me say in Yu's ear:
"Little handsome boy, haven't you been here recently? This is Dean Lewen's latest upgraded query method. You only need to do this...this...and finally this..."
"What?!"
Yu was startled and waved his hands hurriedly:
"This is not okay... This... uh, sister administrator, I remember you didn't ask verbally before..."
"Call me Hong Ling, and her name is Zi Ling. We have the freedom to choose the query method, but it doesn't matter, handsome guy..."
She bit Yu's ear and whispered word by word:
"This is an extra service. We don't allow it to ordinary people..."
"But…"
Yu almost started to question why he came to the library at this time - Professor Andel had clearly reminded him just now! Could it be that now we can’t even enter the lobby on the first floor...
However, to press the chest, you need to do three circles on the left and three on the right, plus all those other things. Where does the logic come from? ? How could I possibly do it myself...
He shook his head and said helplessly:
"Hong Ling, I really only need some basic and elementary books, otherwise I will find them myself..."
The smile on Hong Ling's face was still as charming, but her beautiful eyebrows with flying lines were slightly wrinkled, and she said softly and firmly:
"Of course...it won't work!"
"…how so…"
Yu looked at the charming Hong Ling, and then at Zi Ling, who looked shyly and glanced at her with expectant eyes, feeling an unspeakable guilt in her heart.
"...Does it have to be like this..."
He confirmed with a grimace, as if resigned to his fate.
There was a hint of pride on the corner of Hong Ling's mouth, and she finally let go of the arms she had been holding tightly. She admired the boy's hesitant expression and didn't know where to look. She stretched out her bright red tongue and licked her lips with excitement, looking forward to it. urging:
"Remember, it takes two hands to be effective..."
But then, Hong Ling's expression became extremely exciting!
The young man in front of me seemed not to know what to do one second, but the next second he had already rushed to the machine used to scan the identity, pressed his hand on the crystal screen and shouted:
"Apply for confirmation permission!"
Several ripples arose on the crystal screen, and a ball of red light was spit out to cover the young man. The two of them couldn't breathe, and a line of words flashed on the machine:
"Permission confirmed, the owner of the intermediate authority of the Jialuo Academy Library..."
Yu didn't realize that in the red light, a ring-shaped mark appeared on his forehead automatically, and the crystal screen of the instrument flickered slightly, and another line of text appeared quickly!
"Discovered the Grandmaster's identity mark and was automatically promoted to a senior authority owner... Please enter the command..."
Yu Chang let out a sigh of relief—his guess was indeed correct! Since the library system has always been in charge of Dean Lewen, the authority that Dean Lewen gave himself two years ago because he was troublesome is still valid!
He didn't have time to read the text added by the instrument carefully. After seeing the "input command", he quickly said:
"Apply to check basic books on elementary formations, sort by cross-ordering by book reviews and number of queries!"
Rows of book catalogs were quickly displayed on the crystal screen, but there were indeed so many books related to elementary formations that the first record was about to be erased!
Time was running out, so he quickly wrote down the names and storage locations of the top three books. Before Hong Ling and Zi Ling could react, he used his impressions to fly towards the location of a certain book, leaving only Behind the lower body are instruments that are still refreshing the catalog, and there are two receptionists whose expressions are constantly changing...
But Yu obviously didn't know that when more than ten seconds passed, at the end of the directory where the instrument finally finished spitting out, there was this line:
"Advanced permission confirmed, all books are full versions..."
