Lost Narrative Poetry

"What are these? It seems that the knowledge here is even more difficult to understand. Damn it, it was said to be simple..."

In the silent big library, some cute mumbling sounds sounded.

In the seemingly endless ocean of knowledge that is filled with books, manuscripts, ancient parchments, papyrus, etc., there is a vast ocean of classics and papers, and in the middle of the rows of tall bookshelves, a little girl as pure as a lily. Frowning slightly.

She looked down at the "Key of Solomon" she was holding in her arms, and then looked up at the strange names of the books on the bookshelf. She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and seemed to be quite distressed and having a headache. appearance.

She has been studying magic for a while now. Maybe it’s because the teacher’s teaching ability is top-notch, or maybe she’s really talented in this area for no apparent reason, or more likely, it’s both.

All in all, Miss Medea has made rapid progress in the path of magic. Her progress can be said to be rapid and rapid. In less than half a month, she has reached the level of magic that ordinary magicians would have the chance to achieve only after a lifetime of hard work.

Of course, we cannot ignore the fact that she is the source of the concept of "Medea" at this moment. As the original body of the Greek world, the only legendary origin of diversity, and the inheritance of blood and divinity, she is born with great advantages. .

Even if he doesn't know how to use his own bloodline power, he is still a pure branch of the Olympus lineage.

Magic is mystery.

Mysteries yield before higher mysteries.

In view of the above two principles, it is not difficult to understand that little Miss Medea will make such progress. For her, ordinary magic is not "mysterious" at all.

However, after passing through the early stage, when the practice of magic enters the unpredictable realm and begins to come into contact with the level of law and reason, no matter how advantageous Little Miss Medea is, her progress in this aspect will not be the same. It will inevitably slow down.

The girl didn't know how amazing her learning progress was, and she didn't even know that she had completed the basics and basics of magic in a short period of time under the one-to-one teaching plan personally formulated by the magician who was closest to the truth in the world. All the practices of advanced knowledge.

She didn't know this, so she was a little worried. She felt that maybe the teacher's expectations of her were too high, and the learning plan he formulated was too efficient, which resulted in her not having a good foundation and not being solid enough.

I learned quickly earlier, but I may have missed too much basic knowledge——

Because when I started studying a few days ago, it was going smoothly. Why did I suddenly start to feel inadequate in the past two days? It couldn't be that I suddenly became stupid, right? But the teacher is still a teacher after all, and she has no way to point out the other person's mistakes directly.

So while the other party happened to be away today, the girl sneaked into the big library, trying to check and fill in the gaps, and make up for the basic knowledge that she might have missed... She felt that this was what happened, and this was the solution. Method.

only……

The space of the Great Library seems to be boundless. Standing in the aisles of rows and rows of neatly arranged huge bookshelves, looking forward, you can hardly see the end. It seems that the time and space here have been stretched infinitely. Even the entire universe can be easily accommodated.

In addition, this is a private library. It is not intended to be publicly displayed since the day it was built. Therefore, there are no signboards, planning drawings, etc. In this way, it is conceivable that people who are not familiar with it will think How difficult it is to find specific information here.

Little Miss Medea also searched in vain for a long time before she felt that she finally found what she wanted.

——Yes, she thought she had found it.

"Is this... the "basic" magic I missed? "

The girl's eyes widened and she stared at the books on the bookshelf in disbelief. Just the name of the book itself made her feel like she wanted to stay away.

"Easy Magic: Weaponization of Secret Celestial Bodies"...

"Basic Occultism: The Collapse of Saints and Analysis of the Principles of Divine Equipment"...

"Building a Beginner's Magic Workshop II·How to Build a Stellar Fortress"...

emmmmm……

All right……

Little Miss Medea really felt a little dizzy. She looked around and found that the bookshelves in this area were all like this. The cover names of the books and notes on them often had the same prefix, which was extremely surprising. consistency.

It means "easy and simple", "basic entry", "beginner", and so on.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the theoretical knowledge they involve is so speechless. Even the girl who can be said to be proficient in magic feels dizzy. Are these things too much? ?

Or did my teacher make something wrong when classifying?

Not understanding what was going on, she sighed, raised her hand, and lightly brushed the books on the bookshelf in front of her with her slender fingertips.

Those books have a sense of age, as if they have an ancient and mysterious texture formed by the vicissitudes of time, and almost all the book manuscripts already have a grayish feel. This is unimaginable, after all, the impression that the doll lady had on little Miss Medea was a bit too profound.

It's probably because I missed something and didn't clean it, or I was lazy and didn't clean it...

But you didn't clean this place on purpose?

Little Miss Medea thought this, and felt that this was what happened, but she couldn't figure out the reason for avoiding this place and not cleaning it.

These dusty ancient books were silent and silent, just placed there calmly. The girl stared at them, slowly becoming lost in thought, and her spirit became trance-like, as if her consciousness had left her body and reached the end of time and space.

Further ahead is the boundless primitive chaos and dark abyss, where there is forbidden knowledge and infinite inspiration...

It is the source of all secrets and unknowables...

He is the ancestor of magic and the source of mystery...

But just when the girl was about to approach the end of the abyss and get a glimpse of the unknown source, a hand gently held her, causing her to break the trance with a jolt, and her spirit returned to reality instantly. When she turned around, she saw a pair of magnificent Ruby-like eyes came into view.

"Xia...Miss Charlotte."

Little Miss Medea felt like a bad child who was caught red-handed doing bad things, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She greeted him coyly and hurriedly defended herself.

"I...I...I didn't come in secretly to do anything, ah, no, no, I mean, I didn't come in secretly, I just, just..."

She was probably a little panicked for a moment, so the more she spoke, the more confused she became.

Calmly looking at the little Miss Medea whom she was very familiar with, the puppet maid sighed slightly in her heart, but her face did not show it at all. Instead, she remained calm, her expression remained unchanged, and her voice did not change. He said without any ups and downs:

"I know, Miss Medea, of course you can come in here. The Master didn't say anything to restrict you, so you don't have to worry so much..."

"Ah, this, this is it..."

The girl as pure as a lily breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid she couldn't explain clearly.

"Let's get out of here first. Let's talk after we go out." Looking around, his eyes swept over the books with ridiculous names, but all of them contained amazing magic power. After stopping briefly one by one, the doll girl said, He took little Miss Medea and walked out.

"Ah, oh oh..."

Little Miss Medea was stunned for a moment, and was pulled away before she could react. She could only nod in confusion.

However, she is not too slow, mainly because she is too innocent at the age of fourteen and does not have much life experience, so naturally she cannot react so quickly. But after realizing the problem, the girl suddenly understood.

"Then, are those books dangerous, Miss Charlotte?"

"It can't be said that there is danger. At least for those recognized by the Master, they are still measured." The puppet maid replied calmly, "But sometimes, even if they don't take the initiative to do anything, it's okay , and it cannot change their essence...

"The phantom of knowledge is but the morning mist. The mystery of creation is like the darkness of the night."

She turned back, stared at Princess Colchis, and said seriously: "Miss Medea, you should now learn the magic knowledge taught by the Master step by step, instead of looking for its mysterious essence. They are of great significance to you now. It’s still too early.”

"Ah, this..."

Little Miss Medea was a little confused, and she didn’t know whether she understood or not. She was very embarrassed to defend herself——

"I didn't think so. I...I just wanted to come in and look around. I saw that everything here is "simple" and "basic", so I wanted to take a look. Who knew they were all of this level? Yes..."

The girl was somewhat unconvinced. It was obviously not her fault, nor was it because she was too ambitious or anything like that.

She was obviously just trying to check and fill in the gaps and complete some basic knowledge that she might have missed. Who would have thought that those things with such confusing prefixes actually recorded some taboos? content of the field.

"This is because you don't know the Master well enough. What he is best at is this kind of trick..."

Charlotte said calmly with a faint glance at the little girl behind her.

How could the former Miss Medea have made such a mistake? As long as you see the beginning, you should understand what it is. I just don’t know how long it will take for this girl to regain her previous memories.

But then again, if she hadn't been so determined, Master might not have taken any action.

"What's your best trick?"

The fourteen-year-old girl didn't know what the current head maid was thinking. She just tilted her head in confusion and made an innocent guess.

"Does it mean that that knowledge is the teacher's most proud skill?"

"That's not the case. The things you saw can only be regarded as basic and simple levels for the Master. Being good at it means... well, you will always know it in the future." The head maid pondered for a moment and decided. No explanation.

"Miss Medea, just tell me what kind of books you are looking for."

After leaving the "Forbidden Book Zone" and out of the influence of those unimaginably powerful grimoires, Charlotte stopped and asked.

"Master asked me to help you find it."

"Oh! Teacher, teacher, does he know? He is back?" The fourteen-year-old girl's expression became slightly stiff.

Charlotte replied flatly: "No, Master still has some things to deal with, but he does know."

"What's going on? It seems that Teacher hasn't seen much people in the past two days." Miss Medea breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously.

"Well..." Charlotte thought for a moment and took a deep look at her, "The day before yesterday, a group of sailors from Thessalia landed on Colchis Island..."

The Argonauts...

—— Came to Colchis in search of the Golden Fleece.

That was the beginning of a series of tragedies and the origin of Zeus's twelve-constellation defense system... Of course, the latter is not important, so someone does not care about what his actions on this unique timeline will do to the established cause and effect. Influence.

…

…

In the palace of Colchis, a grand banquet was being held. People who didn't know it thought it was some important day, a celebration or something.

The princes, nobles and heroes from foreign lands were feasting together, feasting and feasting, and it was a joyous scene. Bragging and spanking between each other, and business bragging were all normal operations -

For example, the heroes of the Argonauts constantly complimented the Kingdom of Colchis on its wealth and prosperity, but on the contrary, they were praised for their "valor" in various ways, praising them for daring to sail alone to this isolated island with only fifty men. feat.

Overall, the atmosphere seems to be very harmonious.

As the captain of the Argonaut, Jason drank a few more glasses of the wine of the Gods, and his head became a little dizzy for a while, but more importantly, he felt a huge stone in his heart. After all, unlike everyone else on the ship, capturing the Golden Fleece was his main mission.

Looking at the current situation, everything seems to be stable. The king of Colchis heard about their request the day before yesterday and received them warmly today.

Such an attitude should mean that he has made a decision to give the Golden Fleece to himself!

Really, how could a country that is so hospitable be rumored to be so outrageous and vicious? I'm afraid that none of those who are looking for the Golden Fleece can reach this Paradise Island, and they all die on the way.

So by spreading rumors, the location of the Golden Fleece is also demonized?

"Dear His Majesty the King, regarding the matter we had before, have you made a decision now?"

With this thought in mind, Jason took another big gulp of wine, and then with the help of alcohol, he boldly stood up and spoke to Aeetes.

Displeasure flashed across the king's eyes. He really didn't like these foreigners who came from afar and wanted to take away his national treasure as soon as they met. The day before yesterday, he wanted to break out on the spot and make things difficult. Just hit them.

——If the sage hadn’t already anticipated and arranged this matter.

Aeetes hid his emotions very well, raised his wine vessel, drank it all in one gulp, and then laughed:

"Young man, I admire your honesty and am willing to help you, but in the final analysis, you should also know that the Golden Fleece is a national treasure of our country and cannot be spread easily. Even if I agree, the people will not agree. …”

"However, we in Colchis are a country that has inherited the glory of the ancient demigod heroes, so if you really want to get this treasure, then you only need to do...well, do twelve things to prove it. Your bravery and wisdom will suffice, and I think none of our citizens will have any objections at that time."

Jason, who was a little drunk, thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the truth. He looked back at the heroes of the Argonauts behind him, and felt confident again, so he turned back and said boldly:

"You tell me, I will do anything for revenge and my oath!"

Aeetes nodded with satisfaction and laughed again——

"Very good, very impressive...then I'll say it."

"First of all, the first thing. I have two sacred cows. Ah, no, I mean I have two golem puppets. They were gifts from a sage who lived deep in the island of Colchis. They The model is called "Geta Emperor"..."
