I don't want to be a dragon maid!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Don't tell anyone except me!

"traitor?"

Noah's expression changed slightly.

"Otherwise, how could a great sage have perished like this!"

Shelley continued to explain.

"However, this traitor has not been found, so some scholars intend to decipher the last words left by the sage in order to solve this age-old mystery!"

"These people are so boring..."

Noah couldn't help but make a comment.

Shelley said unhappily.

"Moreover, the sage created a mysterious library containing various secret arts and magic. If one learns it, one can become a new nameless sage. It is said that this information is contained in the words of the sage."

"A mysterious library..."

Noah looked at the Chinese sentence again, but couldn't discern any information in it.

She just felt that the sage seemed to want to say something to that Ned, and that the person who left those words was a bit of a goofball.

Why keep this saying anyway? Even a simple phrase like "Bright moonlight before my bed" would be better!

"Noah, do you also want to learn the words of the sages? I advise you to give up this decision!"

Shelley looked at Noah's serious expression and said with concern.

"Lord Shelley, what does this mean?"

"The words of the sages are written in unknown script. It is said that no one except the sages' companions knows what these pictographic characters represent?"

Shelley adopted a teacher's demeanor, raising her finger and deliberately displaying a terrifying expression on her beautiful face.

"It is said that over the past thousand years, many scholars have tried to decipher the words of the sage but have ultimately failed. Many have gone mad because they delved too deeply into them. Even the second sage, the wisest man on the entire continent, can only read the words of the sage but cannot understand their meaning."

"Oh...is it that amazing?"

Noah said with some skepticism.

"These are writings left behind by a sage! Isn't that amazing? They're spiritual script used exclusively by sages!"

Shelley, looking at Noah's nonchalant attitude, said somewhat angrily.

"In short, don't try to decipher the words of the sages. The sages have set up magic on them. Studying them for too long can easily lead to dementia or madness. Once you fall into it, your life will be ruined."

Noah and Shelley looked at each other, and she smiled and spoke slowly.

"Lord Shelley, are you worried about me?"

"How could I possibly worry about a perverted maid like you..."

Shelley was about to retort, but looking into Noah's gentle eyes, she trembled and finally mustered her courage to speak.

"That's right, I'm worried about you. As your master and teacher, it's normal for me to worry about you! After all, it will cost a lot of money to save you, which will be a real headache."

"Haha, Lady Shelley is so cute..."

Noah couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Cute or whatever... I'm not cute at all..."

Shelley's somewhat sallow face flushed red instantly, and she muttered softly.

"Please rest assured, Lord Shelley, I will not attempt to decipher the Sage's Words..."

Noah slowly stood up and said calmly.

"You know that's not something we should be involved in..."

Shelley nodded, believing that Noah understood her meaning.

"No, I mean I've already deciphered the Sage's Words, so there's no need to spend time deciphering them."

Noah spoke calmly, enunciating each word clearly.

"Huh? Noah, what did you just say?"

Shelley looked at Noah, thinking there was something wrong with her ears.

"I think I misheard something; it said you've deciphered the Sage's Words..."

Noah smiled, but did not respond to Shelley. Instead, he closed his eyes and said with a serious expression.

"Odd signs change, even signs remain the same; the sign depends on the quadrant!"

When Noah said this in Chinese, she felt quite ridiculous, after all, it was a middle school level mnemonic.

For someone who has been working for many years, this is still too naive. Reading it aloud brings a strange sense of shame, like being executed on the spot.

To Shelley, when Noah spoke in the unknown language, every syllable seemed to strike her eardrums, and every word seemed to contain immense magic.

This feeling is like a high and mighty deity chanting an unknown language, and even if mortals do not understand the meaning behind it, they can still feel the magic in the language!

Words of a sage!

The four words popped into Shelley's mind, her breathing became rapid, and her whole body began to tremble violently.

"Oh, Lord Shelley, are you alright?"

Noah looked at Shelley's pale face and asked with concern.

"Noah, I'm alright!"

Shelley waved her hand, slowly stood up, and said with a look of surprise.

"Noah, what did you just say?"

"Ah, I read that sentence aloud as part of the wise man's words."

Noah said casually.

"Nian!!! Are you sure you're not just making this up?"

Shelley placed her right hand on her wildly beating heart and spoke carefully.

“Lord Shelley, why should I speak on this matter? I truly know how to read this wise saying.”

Noah said in a very serious tone.

"So Noah, what scene did you see in your mind when you recited those words?"

Shelley moved sharply toward Noah, a hint of longing in her pale blue eyes.

"For example, a colossal deity, or the ever-lasting World Tree, or a sage who can command the wind and rain..."

"Lady Shelley, this... I didn't expect this at all..."

Noah was taken aback by Shelley's excitement, and she said with a wry smile.

Actually, when Noah said that, he was thinking of some scenarios, such as when he was still Xiao Yeyun in junior high school, he was called to the front of the class and couldn't write the answer, so he was severely criticized by the math teacher...

The scene was so clear that Noah could even see the vegetable leaf on his math teacher's front teeth.

"Strange... Shouting out words with magical power should cause miracles, so why is this happening?"

Shelley muttered to herself softly, a clear look of disappointment on her face.

"So Noah, how did you recognize the words of the sage?"

"Well, I just recognized it naturally..."

Noah scratched her head and said with a hint of helplessness.

That's all she could say now; anyway, Shelley wouldn't believe her anyway.

"Naturally..."

Shelley seemed to have suffered a huge blow; her body swayed, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"Lady Shelley, are you really alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Noah quickly helped Shelley up, her face filled with worry as she looked at Shelley's increasingly pale complexion.

Shelley looked at Noah, whose face was full of worry, and immediately snapped out of her daze. She quickly pushed aside the maid in front of her, rushed to the door, and poked her head out to look around.

"Lord Shelley, what are you doing?"

Noah said, somewhat puzzled.

Shelley didn't answer. She closed the door, ran to the window, and pushed it open, sticking her head out to check her surroundings.

Once she was sure it was safe, Shelley breathed a sigh of relief. She walked up to Noah, her face serious, and spoke in a low voice.

"Noah, don't tell anyone except me that you've deciphered this phrase. Believe me, you know this isn't good news for you..."

"If others find out about this news, you will face all sorts of calamities! Just like the sages and heroes of a thousand years ago!"

Chapter Thirty: Lord Shelley Wants to Become Stronger

"Misfortune? So that Central Church is still around?"

Noah, mimicking Shelley, asked in a low voice.

"Of course, but just be careful not to say anything carelessly, and watch your mouth!"

Shelley lightly touched her lips and continued speaking.

"Noah, it's too early for you to accept the words of the sage..."

"I understand, Lord Shelley, I won't say anything."

Noah knew Shelley was concerned about him, and her expression softened even more.

"Lord Shelley, shall I explain the words of the sage to you?"

"No, since you understand, that's a message left for you by the Sage, not for me..."

Shelley looked at Noah, a strange light appearing in her eyes. She gave a wry smile and said...
