Chapter 195 Taboos of the Old Days

Avalon was silent at night.

In the library on the fourth floor of the Mage Tower, under the illumination of the almost never-extinguished magic crystal lamps that absorbed the spiritual power of the earth veins, only the sound of the blond boy flipping through the books between the towering bookshelves could be heard.

Corvis flipped through the heavy ancient books in his hands, reading the lines of Lorelit text with a little awkwardness.

The boy's golden eyes rarely blinked, and his mind was completely immersed in the words, trying to absorb the wisdom and experience accumulated by generations of magicians for thousands of years.

Since he applied to the lord and got permission, he often came to the Mage Tower to read the books collected by Ms. Aphrodite before her death and learn the magic knowledge in them after completing his busy affairs.

The meditation method used by Lorelit spellcasters to restore their energy has greatly shortened the sleep time he needs now. It would be a waste if he didn't use the four to six hours from dark to midnight to study magic.

Moreover, sometimes when he encountered something difficult to understand, he even had the opportunity to get guidance from the mysterious ancient magic emperor.

However, during this period of time, Ms. Lola was not always there. He rarely encountered that noble existence at night. Most of the time, she rested in the Neti card, probably to ensure that she would have enough time to show up and teach Leon during the day.

After a few hours, the boy sighed deeply and put down the book "The Source of Magic: An Exploration of the Nature of Two Magical Energy" in his hand.

Even if it was just the basic theory of Lorelit magic, the advanced content after thirty pages was still too obscure.

Various definition words require more systematic basic knowledge to understand before continuing to read.

"Is it too early?"

Corvis raised his hand to float the big book in his hand and put it back into the shelf above.

He didn't want to reach the sky in one step, but recently when he was improving his good at manipulating spells, he felt the bottleneck of understanding magic control, so he tried to study more detailed theories and deepen his understanding of the essence of chaotic magic.

The thrilling battle in the underground mine made Corvis distressed about his lack of means to face large enemies.

Although he is good at swordsmanship, he is restricted by Pilieno in his early years. His physical training has just begun, so his physique is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. Compared with the powerful Knight of Arms, he is far inferior, let alone the powerful Miss Olivia.

The flexible magic means make him not afraid to fight against flesh and blood enemies, but although the sword can hurt the lives of ordinary people, it is difficult to cause actual damage to metal creations like "Furnace Golem" without greater power.

If the efficiency of the output and release of chaotic magic can be improved.

The young man looked up and scanned the rows of ancient books displayed on it, reading the names engraved on the spines.

"Element Classification and Fusion".

"Alchemy Outline".

"Advanced Alchemy: Soul, Life and Matter".

"Summoning Book: Contract and Control".

Aimlessly looking for knowledge that can help him, from time to time, he took a book and flew it into his hands, patiently flipping through it.

Shaking his head, Corvis couldn't help but feel anxious as he put another too profound magic book back on the bookshelf.

Suddenly, the boy paused.

He noticed a thick book with no name on the spine, leaning against the end of this row.

The conspicuous purple cover was out of tune with the gray-brown color of this row of books.

Moreover, he often came here recently, and it seemed that he had not seen such a conspicuous magic book in this row.

Did Ms. Laura flip through it during the day?

Corvis was not surprised. This library was not organized on a daily basis. Perhaps the ancient magic emperor just put the book here after reading the materials.

But

Why is there no title on the spine?

The boy couldn't help but raise his hand and take the purple-covered magic book off the shelf.

An inexplicable curiosity surged in his heart.

He suddenly had an indescribable premonition.

The book should have the knowledge he was looking for at the moment.

However, just as the boy's fingers were about to touch it.

——!

The terrifying magic power suddenly descended, swept directly in front of Corvis, and tore off the boy's magic flow.

The magic book was pulled to the door of the picture out of thin air, and fell into the white girl's palm with a snap.

Five slender fingers, like an unshakable prison, pinched the purple cover and back cover.

Corvis was slightly startled.

He turned his head and saw Ms. Laura, who had come to the library at some point.

Retracting her right hand, the white-haired girl looked at the "book" in her hand indifferently.

Dare to show up in front of her, she is very courageous

Is it because she has been wandering in the spirit-like field of Aphrodite for too long and is too eager?

The wizard lady originally planned to burn this dirty thing to ashes directly, but then she thought that destroying this illusion would not touch the essence, so she couldn't help but feel playful and decided to find "some" fun for it.

Raising her left hand, Laura drew a small gap in front of her.

Time and space seemed to be cut open, revealing a lightless and colorless void, presenting a narrow "nothingness" that could not refract light.

Laura raised the purple book, found a good angle, and threw it in with force.

".Go~!"

The boundless void swallowed the things thrown into it, and the girl raised her fingertips, and the crack immediately closed again like a zipper.

Clapping her hands, Laura felt happy and turned to look at Corvis.

"I'm sorry, Lady Laura, did I touch something I shouldn't have touched?"

The boy apologized with a slight uneasiness on his face as he touched his chest.

He understood that there were always some untouchable taboos in the way of magic. Although he didn't know the details, looking at Ms. Laura's handling of the book like a seal, he could guess that it was probably not a good thing.

"Don't be afraid, it's not your fault. Aphros has used a lot of forbidden knowledge here that is not allowed by us. I thought that they had been trapped for so long and had long been dissipated or found another place. I didn't expect that they were still there. Those who are unwilling to give up have been hiding in this area until now.”

Laura came to the boy and shook her head.

However, she immediately raised her finger and warned the child with a serious expression: "In the future, you must remember to be more careful when exploring knowledge. There is always some unclean 'knowledge' in the world that likes to chase greedy consciousness and arrogant thirsters.

In today's world, although those children with the name of Shengyang have done a good job and banned many filthy things, your physique is really special. What such things like most is your ability to adapt to the magic of chaos. Otherwise, the remaining ones are likely to come to you.

Remember, the magic books in this library are enough for you to study for a thousand years. Those that are too dangerous have been sealed away. Unless your ability reaches the level of 'magic' in the future, there is no need to contact some of the books from the outside world. Forbidden knowledge. "

When Corvis heard this, he seemed to understand the magic emperor's warning and kept it in his heart.

"Lady Laura, if I encounter this kind of 'thing' again in the outside world without anyone reminding me, how should I tell them apart?" the young man asked worriedly.

Laura held up her arms and waved her hands: "Don't worry, even if I'm not here, you can show it to Leon for identification. When you have doubts, don't explore in private. Whether it's a book, a slate, or even an unexpected whisper, try to tell him Anyone who can 'stay' in front of you after this is safe."

Corvis blinked in surprise. He didn't expect that the master could be so able to distinguish right from wrong in terms of understanding of magic knowledge.

"Is it that simple? Why is that?"

Laura just smiled silently.

She interrupted: "I'm here to study again so late. Didn't Leon go on a cruise? Why didn't I take you with me this time?"

Corvis suppressed his previous emotion, nodded and explained to Ms. Laura: "This time the team needs to pass through the territories of Azerion and Rohark to inspect, and they are going together. Leon is worried that Avalon has no boss. If so, please leave me at home to help Ms. Elena.”

Laura raised her eyebrows: "It's not obvious that I want you to rest for a few more days. You can just relax for a few days, just to coax him."

The young man couldn't help but said: "I understand his concern, but I really don't dare to slack off. Under your guidance, his magic skills have improved very quickly. I'm afraid that I will stop where I am and one day there will be no one who can help him." The place becomes a burden.”

The mage lady carried her sleeves and looked around, looking at the young man up and down. Such an enthusiastic attitude reminded her of an old friend.

Even the hair color is the same. I can really feel a sense of déjà vu.

It's just that the child in front of her is not as annoying to her as that guy.

Laura turned around, summoned a magic book from the distant bookshelf and hung it in front of her, waving her hand.

The pages of the book suddenly started turning.

At the same time, streams of light flowed in the gaps between each page.

It wasn't until the last page clicked shut that Laura handed it to the boy.

"Since you are eager to strengthen your existing skills, you should read this book more often. I have marked some annotations. He talks to me about 'ten thousand swords coming from the sky' every day. Don't live up to this expectation. ”

The young man's spirit perked up, he held the book with respectful hands and looked at the title.

"Magic Hands: General Principles for Applying Spells"

When you turn it over, you will see that each page is attached with explanations and annotations, and even the names of other books that the content refers to are noted on it.

".Thank you for your teaching again." The young man held the book with great gratitude and bowed to the other party to express his thanks. He knew how heavy the weight behind those lines of writing was.

"Keep working hard and help him in the future."

Laura turned back and looked at the collection of books that were filled with afros but had no classification. She sighed helplessly and snapped her fingers.

Bang - the flowing wind of magic blows through every corner of the library.

Thick books and volumes flew away from the bookshelf in dense numbers, floating in different categories in the air like a school of fish to different bookshelves, aligning themselves with the same kind of shelves, and stuffed them in by themselves with a thumping sound.

After finishing all this, Laura turned back and warned: "I have sorted it out roughly. When you are free, you can make a directory here for easy inspection, so as not to sneak in any more reckless 'things'.

From now on, it will be up to you to take care of it. After this experience, I think you will be more vigilant than others. "

Naturally, Corvis immediately agreed to her commission.

But after thinking about it, the young man felt a little sensitive and had doubts.

With the powerful Ms. Laura here, why do you need to take care of these precious ancient magic books yourself?

When he saw the other party turning around and leaving, he thought about it and finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Lady Laura."

"Huh?" Miss Mage stopped and looked back.

"Don't you think you will leave Leon one day?" Corvis asked with a frown.

"." Laura was slightly startled.

But he still looked away and shook his hand at the young man behind him.

"I won't leave him.

I will always be by his side. "

No matter what form it is in.

forever

The setting sun was like blood.

Vultures pecked at the corpses with broken swords on the battlefield.

The flag full of arrow holes fell, startling a group of crows announcing the death from the pile of corpses.

The small armored figure walked across the red-soaked blankets.

The wounded soldiers with broken arms and limbs wailed in pain.

Until they saw the golden figure.

".Inis. Your Highness!"

".Inis!"

".He. He. Your Highness."

The soldier howled in pain, and his leaky voice called for the attention of the master.

The clanging footsteps suddenly stopped in front of the dying soldier.

Although she was unable to stand in the front of the soldiers.

But at least, she had to appear in their last sight.

The girl supported her knees and squatted down, as if to listen to the other party's last voice.

The bloody fingers covering her chest struggled to grab the girl's wrist guard.

However, no one stopped this disrespectful offense.

The girl didn't mind.

She wanted to take off her iron gloves and bid farewell to the brave soldier.

But the right arm that was tightly grasped by the other party could not be moved.

". Your parents, wife and children, I promise that they will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

The painful face of the soldier covered in blood was relieved a little.

But with her mouth open, she was still struggling to say something.

The girl bent down and lowered her head to get closer, and the strong smell of blood penetrated into her nose.

". I don't want to die, Your Highness."

". Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Ines's eyelashes moved slightly, and she opened her eyes leisurely.

In front of her, it was still her military tent.

The tense body relaxed, the girl straightened up and leaned back in the chair, looked at the table covered with a map, and then glanced at Agatha who rushed into the tent to wake her up.

Ines smiled at her and asked, "How many warships did Cole lose? How many soldiers are still able to fight?"

As she spoke, the girl used her other hand to rub her sore neck. The posture just now made her right forearm numb and unconscious.

Agatha wanted to report the victory news from the west, but she was suddenly a little stuck by this question, so she had to reorganize the topic.

"Only two warships were sunk, but to control the Wind's End Port, Lord Cole said that at least 800 people must be left, and there are still 1,000 warriors who can continue to be used by you."

"No, I want all his troops, send an order to let the West Bay Fleet return, order Cole to abandon the Wind's End Port, take enough supplies and lead the entire army to the north trade route to Shuangxia City to meet up with Sir Andro's army. They must arrive within five days."

"Abandon the Wind's End Port?" Agatha was stunned that the princess gave up the port that was won in a bloody battle.

"Well, that place cannot be defended. Even if Cole's current 1,800 men plus Andro's 800 men are not enough, I attacked there just to scare those 'seabirds'."

Ines stood up and shook her head to explain.

After receiving the news of the victory of the Battle of Wind's Rest, she could finally rest in peace.

Agatha couldn't help but wonder: "But even if we add the Knights, the reinforcements of Aurad, Sir Andro and Lord Cole, our more than 3,000 people attacking Shuangxia City, can we really win?"

Ines waved her hand: "Don't attack Shuangxia City."

"Then where to attack?"

"Nowhere to attack. Before the enemy finds our surprise force, I want to destroy the Kantadar reinforcements coming from the south.

Clean them up, and then the West family can rest assured and join us in attacking Shuangxia City."

Relaxed Ines wanted to take advantage of this short break to have someone fetch some water to wash her body as soon as possible.

Her cleanliness habit was about to disappear completely in her patience.

Unexpectedly, the first expedition was not about the war, but about the washing problem.

It was different from the short-distance expedition to eliminate bandits and pirates in various places in the Great West Territory.

Going south to fight, leading troops deep into the western part of Kantardar, the army was fast, and it was impossible to delay for such a small matter on the march. She often had no chance to stop and wash the sweat on her body, otherwise she would encounter some accidents.

"Your Highness, the knights of Marquis Aolade have important matters to see you!" The sea eagle knight outside shouted into the military tent.

Inis had an ominous premonition for no reason.

If there was anything she felt she could not control in this war, it was neither her army and enemies, nor her allies.

It had to be the son of the Duke.

Hundreds of wolf cavalrymen were undoubtedly a powerful force on the battlefield. Aolade was also brave in these battles and did help a lot.

But this son of the Duke from the East, apart from his desire for her, had no interest in the war going south.

She was always worried that this guy would make trouble at a critical moment.

Fortunately, she had always been cautious and did not bet all her battle plans on him.

Returning to her seat in the military tent, Ines cheered up her tired spirit and summoned the knights of the East.

The knight who came hurriedly, holding his helmet, knelt on one knee and shouted anxiously: "My princess, it's bad! Lord Aolade chased the damned eagle all the way north and suddenly disappeared halfway!"

Just hearing the first sentence the knight said, Ines wanted to overturn the table in front of her.

Whether she could overturn it or not, she wanted to try.
