There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

"Is this how I look to you? I'm so sad!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

"It's about Natz. Didn't he say he wanted to learn magic? Today I used a magic ball to test his magic talent. It's fire magic, but judging by the amount, it's only elementary. But I can clearly sense that this magic is extraordinary. It's definitely not ordinary fire magic."

Xia pinched her chin, her crystal eyes flickering with a thoughtful look:

"Now that you mention it, I don't know where to start my research either. However, magic has been developed for such a long time that even the most special magic has been recorded, and there is a complete set of attribute testing procedures. After these measures, it is not difficult to find out the attributes of magic."

"That's great, when can we start?"

"I guess the relevant documents are only in the big library, but the attribute test can be done directly in the dormitory. You should have saved Natsu's magic, right?"

Domi patted his bag and said, "Of course, I sealed it semi-permanently in the magic ball. It's still warm now."

After buying today's food, we returned to the dormitory. Since Xia had to take an attribute test, Domi cooked the meal.

Property testing has gone through many generations of updates and iterations. It is now very convenient to use and only requires a few small items to operate.

For example, if you want to test whether the fire magic is restrained by the water magic, you can draw out a part of it from the magic ball to react with the tentacles of the deep-sea jellyfish. If the fire magic disappears, it proves that it is not waterproof.

However, this is not rigorous, because the water magic in the tentacles of deep-sea jellyfish is very strong. If it is replaced with other ordinary water magic, it may be okay.

So in this part of the experiment, there is also an artificial water ball, which contains ordinary water magic. After Natz's fire magic is stuffed into it, it is found that it does not extinguish, which means that it is restrained by high-level water magic, but not by low-level water magic...

Similarly, the same method can be used to experiment with the restraint and being restrained relationships of other magic systems.

Domi tiptoed and looked through the window at the dining table that had been temporarily turned into a test bench. It felt a bit like the chemistry experiment in his previous life, which also used the controlled variable method.

Although the whole set of comparative experiments was simple, it only referred to the operation and did not guarantee the time. It took Xia three hours to test all the properties and she finished her meal in the middle.

"Nats' fire element is probably that kind of specific magic."

Domi seems to have some impression of this professional term:

"Is it like when Edward ate the Sulfur Fire Fruit and his fire magic properties changed?"

Xia nodded: "The same is true of the phantom crystal that Ai Wei gave you. These rare treasures of heaven and earth can fundamentally change their properties, and this one of Natz is more like it is innate, so the search range is narrowed again."

"are you free tomorrow?"

This sudden invitation made Duomi a little flattered: "Why, you want to ask me out? This is the first time~"

Xia rolled her eyes beautifully:

"You're overthinking it. We're just going to the Great Library together and looking up the catalog of natural fire magic properties. Maybe we can find the name of Natz's magic there."

Domi suddenly had a question: "Since they are all born the same, why are there still some that are the same?"

"I can't explain this, or no one can explain it, because the fact is that once a case occurs, the second case will 100% appear again after a few years or even hundreds of years."

“This world is truly magical.”

In order to visit the library with Xia, Domi took another day off and flew to the library using wind magic. When he arrived, Xia was already waiting at the door.

The bright morning sunshine shone on her long rosy red hair, reflecting another indescribable magical color, making her as beautiful and peaceful as an elf.

She was holding a piece of Matcha annual ring roll in her hand, leaning against the large cylinder, nibbling it in small bites like a coal ball.

After jumping down from the sky, the two said good morning to each other.

"Why are you eating matcha baumkuchen? I've never seen you eat it before."

I don’t know if it was because she was hungry or because she got up too early, Xia’s voice was small: “Seeing you eat it often, I wanted to try it… Awoo——”

She quickly finished the rest of the cake in a few bites. Just as she was about to take out her handkerchief from her inner pocket, Domi's handkerchief got there first and gently wiped the cream off the corner of her mouth, making her little face a little red.

"Take your time, you've eaten so much that it's like a coal ball."

Coal Ball, who often lay on his head, meowed, as if praising Xia for being consistent with its habits.

"You're not afraid of wasting time. Just finish eating. Let's go!"

Watching Xia rushing into the library, Domi smiled bitterly and shook his head. People who have been pushed into a hurry since childhood will never learn to enjoy leisure time.

But he believed that Xia could learn to enjoy life again because he was there.

"Hey, wait for me!" Domi hurriedly chased after him.

As the top institution of learning in the entire continent, the large library of Kalia College covers an incredibly large area of ​​10,000 square meters. It is divided into several venues according to disciplines and has a collection of hundreds of thousands of books.

The entire library is as magnificent as a palace, and is the most dazzling pearl of wisdom in the Lionheart Empire and even the continent.

Its status is no less than that of the Library of Alexandria and the Library of Trajan's Forum in the previous generations.

Entering the library from the main entrance, what catches your eye is the artistic seating arrangement. Countless bookshelves have also broken free from the constraints of space and, under the designer's wild imagination, are distributed on the ground, in the air, on steps, or hanging styles... Although seemingly messy, they actually convey a sense of order in chaos.

This is also the significance of the existence of book knowledge in this world and in this human society.

Xia can be said to be a frequent visitor here. She brought Domi to the magic venue and the fire magic area with ease, and found a relatively thin catalog inside.

I took it to a random table nearby, put the book in the middle, and put my two heads together to read.

Xia's green fingers searched from top to bottom, but found that there was no natural fire magic that matched Natsu's characteristics.

"Is it a new kind of magic?" Xia frowned.

"What should I do?" Domi was also confused. He really wanted to ask what kind of mutant species Natz was and why there was no such person anywhere...

"Not necessarily. After all, the catalog can't record everything. Maybe there are omissions. Since the book doesn't record it, why not ask others?"

"The older the professors in the academy, the better. These 'living fossils' may know and have seen more than what is recorded in books."

Xia showed Domi another way out.

"I think I know someone like this..."

Domi was referring to the several old professors he had summoned when he was conducting the experiment on Lingfeng stepping on the Hades. The leading professor among them was quite friendly with him, so perhaps he could ask him.

Domi did what he said. He picked up the backpack containing the magic ball and went to the staff dormitory area, while Xia read a book here.

It is so comfortable to have a girlfriend who is not clingy and has independent thinking. Domi now finally understands the feelings of those guys who had mature and mature women as girlfriends in their previous lives.

Quickly arriving at the staff dormitory area, to be honest, Domi didn't know where the old professor lived. After all, he had some bad intentions when he asked him for his address.

He stood at the crossroads in the middle of the dormitory buildings, feeling confused as if he had drawn his sword and looked around.

"Eh? You're not that...that who?"

Just then, a voice came from behind Domi. He turned around and was suddenly happy.

The person who came should be one of the professors at the beginning. Although he is not the leader, as a professor, he must know the residence of his colleagues!

"Professor, it's me, Professor!"

"So you are?" Domi's enthusiasm made the old professor a little puzzled.

But when Domi recounted what happened that night, the old man immediately remembered it, and without thinking twice, he lectured him severely for a long time, cursing and lecturing him until his mouth was dry.

"Well... I just want to know where the professor in charge lives so I can go and apologize."

"Why don't you come to my house to apologize?" The old man suddenly felt unbalanced.

"I think the professor standing in the front has a representative role. If you want me to come, I will come another day."

Domi secretly wiped his sweat, thinking that this old man might have some Alzheimer's disease.

But the old man finally took Domi to Professor C's dormitory. It can't be called a dormitory. A professor of his level can be called a 'living fossil national treasure', so he lives in a villa by the artificial lake specially arranged for him by the college.

"Hey Montgomery, there's a student looking for you!" the old man knocked on the door and shouted.

It turned out that the old professor was called Montgomery, and Domi silently memorized the name in his heart.

Soon footsteps were heard behind the door. Montgomery opened the door and saw his old colleague and the little bastard Dominic at a glance.

As the main person in charge of that "suppression operation", his impression of Domi was much deeper than that of the old man, very deeper!

"It's you?"

Duomi scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Hello, professor. I'm here to apologize to you. By the way, I have some small academic questions to ask you..."

Seeing this, the old man waved his hand, said goodbye and left, no longer wanting to be a light bulb.

After that, Montgomery and Domi both stood outside the gate, staring at each other. He was wondering whether he should let in this brainless student who might blow up his house at any time.

However, under Domi's eager anticipation and the clear and harmless eyes, he finally softened his heart. Besides, he did receive an "apology" from Carlos afterwards, so it was neither reasonable nor moral to resist Domi anymore.

"Hey~ come in."

"Thank you Professor!"

Montgomery poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then they sat on the sofas on both sides of the coffee table. Next to them was a floor-to-ceiling window facing the beautiful artificial lake. They could take in the entire beautiful scenery by slightly turning their heads.

"Tell me what's the problem."

Montgomery was direct and got to the point. As for coming to apologize, he only saw it coming and did not have any expectation of an apology.

"It's like this," Domi said as he took out the magic ball from his shoulder bag and handed it to Montgomery. "I have a classmate whose magic properties seem to be very special. Based on these properties, none of the catalogs in the library match them, so I wanted to ask you."

Montgomery glanced up and down at the paper with the experimental characteristics written on it, then felt the magic himself and thought for a long time in silence, as if he was recalling something.

"A long time ago, there was a group of powerful and mysterious people..." Montgomery suddenly spoke after a long silence.

"How far back in time is that? Professor, I know a little about history."

"It was so long ago that the whole world was ruled by ancient dragons. I only heard about it from hearsay. Just treat it as a legend."

"The magic of that group of people is very special. They have a weird special attack against certain creatures."

"what--"

"So-called special attacks are like the natural restraint between elements."

"Some of them have magic that is particularly effective against ancient dragons, or even all dragons. After discovering this, they made a living by hunting ancient dragons, trying to save people from the ancient dragons' brutal rule. Later generations called them dragon-killing magicians."

"Dominic, I remember that when your Blofeld family hunted the white dragon of the orthodox ancient dragon bloodline before, there seemed to be a dragon slayer magician to help. Or maybe not, after all, their existence is still a mystery."

Domi himself was shocked. He didn't even know that there were such people participating in the dragon-slaying battle.

Montgomery gave Domi some time to digest the information, and then continued, "There should be some magicians like us among the dragon slayers."

"Since this is a legend, how did you know these specific details, Professor?"

"Because when I was young, I met a wanderer who was suspected to be a dragon slayer magician. He told me all this. He also said..."

Decades ago, in a remote tavern somewhere on the mainland.

"Montgomery, I tell you these secrets because you are a pure scholar. I only hope you can do one thing -"

"If you encounter dragon slayers scattered among the people in the future, remember to tell them everything about your bloodline, and tell them that you are not alone."

The young Montgomery was just as confused as Domi at this moment: "Then how can I tell if someone is a dragon slayer?"

The mysterious middle-aged man with a tattered cloak and a stubble on his chin smiled slightly: "It's very simple, our magic power contains the soul of the hunting dragon..."

Chapter 184 Ernest

Chapter 184-183- Ernest

"The soul of the hunting dragon?" Domi found the key words for identification: "Then how can we see the soul, which is something that cannot be observed at all?"

Montgomery searched for a long time in his mind filled with countless memories, and finally gave the answer after a long time:

"Just go home. Your own home."

"Ernest Blofeld should still be alive."

Domi was very familiar with this name, even though he had only seen it a few times since he was a child.

Ernest, Carlos' father, his grandfather, the head of the Blofeld family, is probably about the same age as Montgomery, in his seventies or eighties, perhaps even older than Montgomery.

I remember the last time I saw him a few years ago, the old patriarch looked like an old man, completely lacking the vitality of Montgomery.

"Why are you looking for my grandfather? Could it be...?"

"According to historical records and based on his age, your grandfather most likely witnessed the last dragon-slaying battle, even though he was probably just a young child at the time..."

After obtaining useful information, Domi did not leave immediately, but chatted with Montgomery for a while. He felt that everything that had happened so far told Domi that he had a very close relationship with his family, and there was no harm in chatting more.

Montgomery picked up the teacup and sipped the tea elegantly like an old gentleman:

"Dominic, I remember you seemed to have joined the War Art Club. Why did you join that club?"

Domi was a little surprised. Montgomery would actually take the initiative to pay attention to his movements?

"The reason is probably simple... I want to learn how to fight."
