After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

(Meow meow meow??)

The door slowly opened in the direction La Luna pushed. To be honest, apart from feeling that the door was a bit heavy, there was no sign of it being locked. La Luna looked at the layers of protective measures on the door handle in silence...

Looks good but doesn't work, just a bunch of fancy words

Then she used her body to push the door open, making the gap bigger so that she could get in. However, she could see through the gap that the door was completely dark and she couldn't see anything. But after La Luna got in, she found that one of the walls was covered by thick curtains. She used her little paws to grab the curtains and forcefully pulled them to the sides to create a gap, allowing the sunlight that was blocked outside to shine in.

"Meow meow……"

(Wow… this is…)

After the sunlight filled the room, La Luna looked at the four walls of the room in shock.

Books, all books, all four walls filled with books!

Meow meow meow???

(That little girl seems to be such a good reader????)

Do you like tragedy?

Chapter 19 Meow Meow Meow (XII)

(I really can’t believe that such a stupid-looking woman actually likes reading?)

While thinking about this, La Luna pulled out a relatively thick book from the bottom of the bookshelf. The title of the book in this world was not written on the side of the book, so she had to take the book out of the bookshelf to see the name of the book, which made her very puzzled.

"The Basic Structure of Magic III"

(Magic... what three? What?)

La Luna suddenly felt troubled. She had only learned some basic terms in school, but this book obviously used advanced grammar. Except for a few words, she didn't understand the title of the book at all.

(But the name has magic in it, so it should be a magic book, right?)

La Luna was bored staying at home so she just took a look at the book. She dragged the book out into the sunlight and started reading. The cover of the book was made of animal leather, but unlike the leather making method in the Middle Ages in her previous life, it not only had no odor, but even had a faint fragrance.

Turning over the first page, you can see that the paper is slightly yellowed, but the golden cursive text still shines brightly in the sun.

(…………)

After taking a look, La Luna closed the book silently.

I really can't understand it... There are unfamiliar words throughout the text, and all kinds of strange patterns that make no sense. Isn't it just making you uncomfortable to read this thing?

La Luna reluctantly dragged the book back to the bookshelf. However, just as La Luna was about to put the book back, she suddenly saw a small label on the side of the bookshelf.

Ⅰ~Ⅹ

At this moment, La Luna instantly understood that these books were arranged in serial number, and she could find the book she wanted by just counting them one by one in the order of arrangement.

(So……)

Since the serial number of the book in my hand is 3, that means counting two books to the side...

"The Basic Structure of Magic I"

Oh oh oh!!!

La Luna excitedly dragged the book out into the sunlight and opened it to read carefully. Compared to III, the vocabulary used in I was obviously more basic. After reading it once, she could roughly understand how the graphics depicted in the book were used in magical applications.

Compared to La Luna who was leading a peaceful life of reading books, Itfil felt extremely stressed at this moment. She was rushing to the scene with her men and the Woodpecker Cavalry while explaining the circumstances of the crime to them.

Because he had guessed the identities of this group of people in advance, and this mission was related to his own position, Etfil answered all their questions. Compared with other members of the team, the blond man riding a unicorn remained silent. When Etfil sorted out the information his men had investigated and told them, the man just listened quietly. After some exchanges, the atmosphere in the whole team became a little more harmonious, and the team members even joked occasionally.

"I didn't expect that in such a western city, there is such a beautiful police lady like you. If the daily weekly reporters in the imperial capital saw this, they would definitely make a big fuss about it. Hahaha."

Itfill only smiled at such jokes and did not give a direct answer. Regardless of whether it would seem improper to talk about such non-official matters during official business, just looking at their background and identities, and the fact that they were making fun of a small-time superintendent like him, he did not need to take it seriously.

(Really, just like a bunch of kids)

Itfil tried his best to keep smiling on the surface, but he felt disdainful of their behavior in his heart. In comparison, the silence of the blond man was enough to highlight his calm character.

What a mature, handsome and cool male knight! !

Itfil was very agitated, but she knew that she had to suppress it. The other party's identity was obviously beyond her reach. Moreover, if the other party was a direct descendant of the royal family, even if he was a collateral branch, he would definitely have more than one lover in the future. Compared to herself, a commoner with no background and no power, she would probably end up being reduced to the level of a plaything.

Thinking about this, Itfil felt that it would be better for him to be a superintendent in the police station. If he did a good job in this mission, he might be promoted to the position of chief police officer. At that time, he might have the opportunity to obtain the status of a lower noble awarded by the empire.

As a commoner, only this kind of down-to-earth thinking can make her work with peace of mind. As for the stories sung by storytellers on the streets about the love between nobles and commoners, and the stories of a commoner turning into a phoenix.

It's just wishful thinking

(well)

Itfil sighed with regret in her heart. It was rare for her to meet such a good man, but she couldn't marry him because of her high status. She should also reflect on whether her standards were too realistic.

A love affair that ended before it even began

When Itfil thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at the blond man. The man seemed to be thinking about something with his head down. Suddenly, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him quietly. He raised his head and happened to meet that pair of eyes.

"Well!"

(Our eyes met!!!)

Itfil's face turned slightly red, and the woodpecker companion who was chatting about other things nearby suddenly noticed this abnormality.

"Miss Itfill, are you feeling unwell?"

Itfil stammered, "I...I'm fine. There are always a few days like this in a month."

The Woodpecker Cavalry member saw Itefel's expression and scratched his head.

"Oh, really? You girls are really hard to understand."

"..."

(Wow, how do these royal disciples who are usually so straight pick up girls? T^T)

Chapter 20 Meow Meow Meow (Thirteen)

"Here we are, right here."

Itfil and his group once again came to the crime scene, but the difference from the last time was that this time the number of people was nearly twice as many, plus the Woodpecker Cavalry Regiment, and they looked fully armed. When the merchants passing by on the Shinto saw them, they all quickly retreated to the side of the road and made way.

"That was where the bandits burned the bodies and goods. We checked the goods and found that they were basically silk and other things. The bandits didn't steal them. Instead, they took away all the food that came with the caravan."

The captain of the Woodpecker Cavalry nodded. Indeed, in the bandit cases they dealt with across the country, usually the goods were not plundered, but the food was plundered, and all the accompanying personnel were killed.

It was precisely because of these unclear and counterintuitive criminal groups that the Empire was so troubled that it had to form and assign the Woodpeckers, an elite cavalry unit, to clean up these criminal groups across the country.

"Then our team members found many horse hoof prints and footprints in that forest."

Itfil pointed to a grove of trees not far away.

"Behind the woods there was a trail heading in a certain direction, but after a short distance it became blurred and scattered."

The captain of the Woodpecker didn't say anything. Everything that happened here was exactly as he imagined. The murderer was beheaded and the body was destroyed. A false direction was given and then an opportunity to escape was taken.

They have fought against such bandit gangs countless times and have gained experience in dealing with those guys.

"Azuka! Take your eyes out!"

"Yes!"

After determining the target, the captain immediately gave orders to his team members. The team member named Asuka quickly opened a package behind him after receiving the order, and a small bird poked its head out of the package.

"go with!"

After the little bird was released by Asuka, it flapped its wings a few times and its originally small body instantly expanded several times. When its wings were fully stretched out, they were as long as an adult man.

The captain looked at Itfil, who looked shocked, and introduced his team members to her.

"His name is Asuka. He can exchange vision with animals. He is also very powerful, with the strength of a Heavenly Warrior."

The captain seemed to have remembered something and continued to speak to Itefel:

"By the way, we have known each other for such a long time but I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Gadiel, the leader of the Woodpecker Cavalry Regiment. The power I possess can protect everything behind me."

"oh oh……"

Itfil nodded blankly, then introduced himself.

"Itefel, a magician, is also a forest-level warrior."

As soon as the words came out, the other team members looked at him in surprise.

"I didn't expect Miss Itefel to be a magician. My apologies."

When the captain heard Itfel introduce himself and talk about being a magician, he actually saluted to Itfel very respectfully.

"Hey??"

Itfil was confused for a moment when he was suddenly given surprised looks and saluted by this couple.

When the captain saw Idfil's expression, he suddenly realized what was happening and explained:

"Miss Itefel has lived in the western part of the continent for many years. She may not know much about some things in the empire. Every magician in the empire enjoys a distinguished status, and magicians' magic is generally passed down from generation to generation. If you are a magician, it means that there must be an even more powerful teacher behind you."

"Teacher..."

Itfil scratched his head. Although he knew that there were magicians in the empire, the people around him didn't seem to care much about his identity as a magician. He learned magic from an old man who wandered into the city. The old man was attacked by a monster in the forest outside the city. At that time, he had just taken office as the superintendent of police, and he accidentally saved the old man while participating in a mission to subjugate the monster.

That could mean that in order to thank him for saving him, the old man was willing to teach his magic to Itfel. Later, Itfel used the magic he learned and his own strength to gradually achieve considerable success in his work. However, the old man died in the winter of the second year after Itfel became the chief of police.

Before he died, the old man did not tell Itfil his name. Instead, he pointed to a room he had renovated after moving into the superintendent's dormitory and said that all his secrets were in there. If anyone wanted to know, they should open the door. Then he died.

Itfil looked at the various sealing magics on the door lock in confusion. He couldn't open it with the basic magic that the old man taught him. As time went by, he forgot about it.

"That's right..."

Gadiel nodded thoughtfully.

"That means you only learned elementary magic from that old gentleman?"

"Woo woo... that's about what it means."

"Please don't be discouraged, Miss Itfill. Perhaps this is just a test from your teacher."

"It would be nice if it were so..."

Itfil thought back to the various spells cast on the chains that locked the door.

Headache……

At this moment, just inside the door where Itfil was having a headache, a cat was staring at the floating book in a daze.

"Meow meow meow……"

(This is not scientific at all...)

Chapter 21 Meow Meow Meow (14) (Additional Update)

Okay, that’s unscientific.

After briefly understanding the basic book, La Luna followed the steps in the book and cast a levitation magic with the book as the target. The book actually floated gently in front of La Luna.

La Luna stared at the floating book, the magical patterns in her mind were glowing faintly. In order to verify a hypothesis, she reached out and fumbled under the book for a while, and confirmed that the magic was not held up by some invisible object or blown by the wind, but simply gave the book the concept of floating. In this world, the book "naturally" floated up.

However, in order to achieve this, one must imprint the magic rune that can cast the concept of floating in one's mind, and then use one's own mental power to activate this magic rune. The intensity of the mental power activation determines the intensity of the concept of floating.

La Luna looked at the floating book and felt that her mental strength was almost not depleted.

"Meow……?"

(Is it because the magic consumption is not high? Or is it because the object being cast is not strong enough?)

After all, it was just a book that was held up, and La Luna immediately saw the heavy desk beside her.

"Meow!"

(float!)

The magic runes in her mind lit up instantly, and La Luna finally felt that her mental strength was slightly lacking. The large, dark and heavy desk was now slowly floating in the air, and she could even see that the corners under the desk that could not be swept were covered with dust.

La Luna admired the power of this magic in her heart, then carefully stopped floating and gently put the desk down. After all, this was the 6th floor and it should be uninhabited. If such a heavy desk fell down and made a loud noise at this time, others might think that there was an intruder.

Even if we take a step back and say that disturbing others is bad, what should we do if it disturbs the rest of the people downstairs?

(Then try another magic)
