The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

Xue Feiya didn't rush to ask her anything, but used the small notebook in her hand to compare the text on the gray cover.

really...

This is indeed a document that records the art of words and spirits!

"Bellis...?"

"Ahahaha...Sister Wang? What's wrong?"

Do you dare to look back into my eyes and ask me again?

Xue Feiya didn't remember that Bellis had just compared the book.

Without the translation help of the little notebook in my hand, I would not be able to confirm that this book contains records related to the art of word spirits, let alone just a glance at it, even if I glanced at it a hundred times.

unless...

She prepared in advance.

Or perhaps she had already memorized the distribution of the books here, had studied them, and was very clear about the types of books here.

So...when Bellis said she didn't remember coming here, was she lying?

But this is even stranger.

Bellis is a smart child. Not just ordinary smart, but smart enough for a princess of a country. She would never make such a low-level mistake and let the cat out of the bag. The "slip of the tongue" just now seemed more like intentional.

Tsk.

What on earth is this guy planning?

21. Intelligence

The demon clan's forbidden library is said to be the most secret in the world, and it is also the forbidden place with the richest reserves of long-lost magic.

This is also the biggest reason why the demons are feared by countries around the world. No one knows how many cards the demons have not yet played, nor does anyone know whether there is any exaggerated magic in the forbidden library that can subvert the world order.

In fact.

The devil himself doesn't know.

It’s not because he’s too lazy to read it, it’s mainly because so many scholars have gathered together to study it over the years, but every time they get to the most critical steps of magic, they just can’t translate it!

Forbidden books, forbidden books, it was as if some inexplicable forbidden spell was added to them.

Even if you know the meaning of some characters, when they are combined into a set of ancient magic system, it is impossible to understand it at all.

It took Bellis a whole year to translate the forbidden technique of [Origin Magic].

Just understand the basics.

Xue Feiya was not very happy during her studies.

She frowned. Even with the little notebook given to her by Siletra, it was still very painful for her to read the yellowed pages.

"Fire-roasted... rat? What kind of rat is rat? Bellis, do you know what kind of rat this is talking about?"

"Fire roasting... I think this should be a recipe? Hey, Sister Wang, we are not scholars. We can't understand most of the magic here. I don't think it's necessary to take it so seriously..."

"Oh! I see, it's not a recipe, it's Fire Circulation! From what I see, it means that if we gather the fire magic elements into a specific magic array, we can achieve a fire magic circulation field? The ancients were really wise, huh... Look at me sweating so much, translating this stuff is really a brainwork."

"Sister Wang, did you really translate it?! In just a few minutes?!"

"Is it...Is it?"

"..."

Sister Wang, of course Bellis doesn't doubt your genius, but if this translation magic is correct...

What on earth is that rat? How come it disappears after the translation?

The two sisters stood back to back, each holding an ancient book with magic particles floating in it.

Rather than translating the content stiffly, Bellis was more interested in slowly rubbing her back against Sister Wang's. It was more meaningful to receive her tenderness without causing her discomfort.

Her back was itchy, but Xue Feiya had no intention of scratching it.

She was concentrating on the words in the sea of ​​books that were like vast stars.

She understood a little bit - she felt that the ideas of the ancients were very consistent with her own research.

For example, Xue Feiya has optimized [Storage]. The ancients also mentioned related ideas in the book, but because the magic operation efficiency at that time was not as good as it is now, that idea was just an idea and was not put into practice.

Moreover, Xue Feiya was keenly aware that if this [Fire Circulation] could be realized, it would be a powerful weapon for frying fish in a cycle!

I can't believe that the wisdom of the ancients is so irrelevant.

"Well... that's true, but there are so few of these magics that can be reproduced that they are basically useless."

"What?"

"The concentration of magic particles nowadays is definitely different from that in ancient times. The theories proposed by our ancestors were only suitable for the environment at that time. But now, times have changed."

"Eh... I see. I was wondering why my magic failed... Ahem, it's okay, Sister Wang. You were able to translate the general meaning. You are such a genius that I can't praise you enough!"

Oops.

Are you deliberately letting something slip again to hint at me?

It's so funny. You want me to ask you about the [Origin of Magic], but I won't ask.

I'm just waiting for you to say it yourself.

"I still don't quite understand... How on earth can Sister Wang understand it? I still can't understand it even if I just compare the words."

"How would I know?" Xue Feiya really didn't know, and she wasn't being modest. "But I always feel... these things look familiar, as if I've seen them in a dream? Bellis, maybe in my dream, I'm a hard-working person who reads ancient books well!"

"Pfft...If Sister Wang studies hard someday, I think Father and Mother will burst into tears."

"It's not that exaggerated. Haven't I read books before?"

"No."

"..."

Your decisive answer makes me, Sister Wang, very heartbroken.

It is true that I used to sneak out of the Demon King's Castle to go fishing when it was time to study, but you didn't see me taking out a book to kill time while fishing. Although the order was different, I did read thousands of books and was very knowledgeable.

Also, there has been some progress towards the original purpose of coming to the Forbidden Library.

I've been reading in the forbidden library for about two hours, right?

During this period, Xue Feiya found ancient records about [Word Magic] and [Instant Magic].

"Belis, [Word Spirit Technique], it turns out that in the earliest times it could really change the appearance of monsters."

"Like the effect used by the Third Princess of Orus?"

"Almost. The only reference in these records is this incident two thousand years ago. Before the first demon king founded the country, an important official beside him who was proficient in the art of words and spirits once used words and spirits to transform a fiery red ant into a giant fiery red ant. It was quite amazing."

"Big Ant... How big is it? Is it also an evolution across power levels?"

"No, it was as long as a fingertip before the transformation. After the transformation, the giant ant was as long as a finger."

"?!"

Is there anything in this book that is so detailed?

Do we have to record all the little things?

No, no, no, Bellis, you have to know there is a saying called "seeing the big picture from the small details".

The point is not to what extent the word magic has been achieved.

But this magic can indeed do related things, which makes me feel at ease.

Don't worry, Livra. It seems that you are a freak, but you are not the only one. There are people in history who are as weird as you.

As for the other thing, regarding what Aunt El Elek said before, that she encountered Amelus using a lightning strike similar to [Instant Magic] that pierced her heart, there is no specific trace of it appearing in the literature.

But the unexpected gain was that Xue Feiya found this passage written by an unknown person in a book written more than two thousand years ago.

[The power of the human god, thunder and lightning burning the wilderness, all living things in ruins, came in an instant, not by heaven, everyone bowed their heads in submission. ]

"This sentence should be about Amelius herself. She used lightning at that time. And the phrase 'arrived in an instant' should mean that the lightning had arrived the moment the survivors realized that the magic was activated. Moreover, the attack range was very large, and it was probably an indiscriminate attack. Does this statement sound like she was showing off her power?"

"But the Human Gods in the records of various countries are all the embodiment of kindness and goodness, and the evaluations are all positive. So, maybe Amelus is quite cruel?"

"That's hard to say. Anyway, if the Amelius I met before is not a fake, she has nothing to do with kindness and benevolence. Let's not talk about that for now."

pat.

Xue Feiya closed the precious book forcefully, without any intention of taking care of it.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to take care of books.

But I was just being cool...

I accidentally used too much force.

Gently putting the book back on the stone shelf, Xuefia silently apologized to her ancestor in her heart, and sat back to back with Bellis.

The two sisters have similar faces but sit facing different directions, like shadows walking towards different forks in the road at an intersection.

It's quiet here.

So quiet that we can hear each other's heartbeats.

"Belis."

"Hmm...? What's wrong, Sister Wang?"

"You still remember that incident, right?"

"Sister Wang, are you talking about... the fact that I mobilized the [Original Magic] without permission before?"

"Still playing dumb in front of me, I know you won't tell me no matter what, if you don't tell me, then I'll tell you... eh? You just..."

Didn't you just admit that you remember these things?

Then he faked a shot and shook me hard? !

A small leave note

Actually, it’s not really a request for leave. It’s just that Xiao Beixing wants to adjust the update time.

In the past, updates were always posted after midnight, but the time was too tight and my typing state wasn’t very good, so the update schedule was adjusted to noon every day.

Everyone went to bed early today and will wait for the update at noon. All future updates will also be adjusted to noon.

22. Admit it? (4K)

Tick-tick-tick-

The water droplets that had been condensing and dripping on the stone wall were illuminated by the candlelight, and suddenly fell to the ground, making the sound of eternal splashes and cracks.

Obviously, it was rare for the Lost Forbidden Library to have visitors at this moment, but for a moment, it seemed to have returned to its usual deserted silence.

There was silence because Xue Feiya was stunned for a moment.

I suddenly didn't know how to start what I wanted to say.

When I turned around, my sister who was leaning on my back was no longer there.

When he looked back, she had already circled to the front, squatting in front of him, smiling with her head tilted - she even used her slender fingers to push aside the silver hair in front of Xue Feiya's forehead, and her palm followed her forehead up to the top of her head to caress.

Since she was a child, Bellis has loved the floral scent of Sister Wang's hair, which is as cool and smooth as snow, but will not melt at the touch.

Feeling the sudden warmth coming down on her head, Xue Feiya's mouth trembled, and she murmured with a little anger naturally.

"Oh...? You're quite brave, aren't you? Bellis, did I ever ask you to let me touch my head?"

"I'm not Sister Wang's subordinate, I'm Sister Wang's family member, so even if I want to touch your head, I don't need to ask for Sister Wang's permission, okay?"

"You are just a little sister... Can you recognize your place and know that I am your elder sister? Then there is no need to do anything unnecessary."

Xuefei raised her elbow and gently pushed Bellis's hand aside, protecting her dignity as the older sister.

In fact, there is no question of dignity or not.

If Xue Fei really felt that her dignity was being insulted, she would definitely punch the other person in the face at the first opportunity.

Just now, Bellis was just comforting herself.

Shefia forgot to speak, not because of Bailey

Silk suddenly admitted.
