Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"Okay! Come with me, my spell book is in the house."

Generally speaking, a mage's spell book is very private. A mage will never let others, especially peers, see his spell list. That almost means putting his life in the hands of the other party.

But Lavinia didn't care much about this. Firstly, she wasn't a mage as her main profession. Secondly, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe that a guy who had just started to get into magic could learn anything from her.

She had no intention of teaching!

And Ron knew nothing about all this.

"Here, look at this."

Lavinia led Ron directly into her bedroom and pulled out a blue hard-covered book from the bedside table.

"You are considered a mage and you should have your own spell book." Halflings are still kind-hearted in nature. Even when they are competitive, Lavinia did not forget to mention Ron, " Look, this is mine."

"Real spells are different from tricks. Almost all of them have one or even several huge principle books, called [original classics]. A small book as big as a palm cannot even memorize the complete picture of a spell, and even the most experienced There is no way for a mage to guarantee that he can remember all the details he needs to cast magic at any time."

"So we need spell books to assist memory."

"We will write our understanding, details of spell casting, etc. all in the book. This kind of spell book will usually become a prop used to assist spell casting. When we prepare the spell, we will use the previous ones. The spells are hidden from the book and the spells to be used are marked so that they can be cast as quickly as possible when encountering unexpected situations.”

It takes three seconds to cast a spell and three hours to check the meter.

When the team leader takes a break, the players who play the role of mage are always the busiest - even if they still choose the simplest and crudest fireball technique in the end.

"Then where should I find my spell book?" Ron asked humbly.

"Anyway, it's definitely not for sale here," Lavinia shrugged, "This was given to me by a friend in the clan. I have to figure it out on my own."

"Anyway, you should try this first. The shield technique is very helpful whether in experiments or in combat. It can summon an invisible mana shield to emerge around you and protect you."

"Although it has no attack ability, the advantage is that it casts spells quickly and has good effects. Even in the most hurried situations, it can effectively defend and even resist magic missile attacks. It is definitely the most friendly choice for newcomers like you."

Lavinia just wanted to see Ron defeated, not to trick him to death. There was absolutely no hidden trick when recommending spells. Ron naturally knew how useful the shield technique was, and he looked at Lavinia with gratitude.

"Moreover, there are relatively few original texts on the shield technique, and there are several reprints of the common language version. Here, this is it."

Lavinia pushed over a stool and struggled to take down a thousand-page book from the bookshelf on the side. When she threw the book to the floor, there was a loud bang in the room.

"The shield spell is recorded on this page in my spell book. If you can decipher my exclusive symbols, you may be able to improve the efficiency of learning," Lavinia smirked. She was 10,000% convinced that Ron Can't do it.

Unless he is proficient in the halfling language - but that is impossible, no halfling will be willing to teach the language of his own race to outsiders, and they will communicate with other races in common language.

"Thank you so much!" Ron's gratitude was beyond words, and he immediately started reading and studying while holding the book in his hands.

"Don't touch my things!" Satisfied that her "prank" had succeeded, Lavinia exited the bedroom and closed the door.

She estimated that in another two hours, Ron would definitely run out crying and begging her, saying that he never wanted to learn spells again!

However……

Two hours passed and Ron didn't come out.

When it was time to finish eating, Ron didn't come out.

When it came time to go to bed at night, Ron still hadn't come out!

"Are you still studying? Why don't you take a break? Your companion is here to find you!"

Lavinia banged her bedroom door sleepily. She now knew what it meant to shoot someone in the foot - she couldn't even go back to the house to sleep!

What's even more annoying is that goblin! He insisted that it was Lavinia who had kidnapped Ron and wanted to hold them back for ransom!

Only goblins would do this kind of thing!

The door opened from the inside with persistent tapping, and Ron appeared in front of everyone in high spirits.

"Sorry," Ron smiled and returned Lavinia's spell book, "I have returned the original book to its original place."

"It would be nice if your handwriting could be bigger. It looks really hard."

"Oh... So, is there any progress?" Lavinia cheered up, this was the moment she had been waiting for!

This guy is scared! He's making excuses! He didn't learn it!

"Let me try!" Quest jumped out immediately. After hearing that Ron learned magic quickly and even started learning real magic, he was no less shocked than Lavinia.

He raised his fist and punched Ron directly in the face. He wanted to see how far this human had grown in just half a day!

Did he bet on a liar, a braggart, a genius, or a monster?

"Shield!"

How could Ron be so careful that his teammates, whom he just met today, were going to give him a happy face by night? Subconsciously he raised his hand to block it, but fortunately, at the last moment, he still remembered the spell he had just learned.

"clang!"

There was a loud noise, and Quest screamed, and stepped back with a grin on his face, while his other hand kept rubbing his fist.

The space in front of Ron was slightly distorted, and a mana shield that was difficult to identify with the naked eye appeared in front of him. It was this shield that helped Ron block the tiefling's fist.

"You...succeeded? H-how is this possible?!"

Lavinia really broke through her defense this time. How could he learn it? How could he learn it!

He can't possibly learn it!

However, no matter how she tried to hypnotize herself, Quest's red fist could not be faked, nor could the mana fluctuation just now.

Maybe she was too tired? It's all Ron's fault! She must not have had a good rest, how could she have such a ridiculous dream!

"Get out, get out!"

The halfling girl kicked the motley team out with the worst attitude, then closed the door and dove into her bed.

"What's wrong with her? She looks very unhappy. I still have a lot of things I don't understand and want to ask her..." Ron, who was still in Versailles but didn't realize it, was confused.

"I guess she thinks you've stayed in someone else's bedroom for too long." The half-elf warrior, who knew nothing about magic, began to make wild guesses.

"Her kidnapping failed!" Dreyfudou said nonsense.

Quest, the only one who could guess why, remained silent. He had nothing to say to the human being who was still an ordinary person this morning.

There are absolutely no shortcuts to learning spells, so there is only one answer:

This seemingly ordinary guy has incredible talent and learning ability, and it’s so incredible!
