We looked at each other at the same time, seeing similar surprise in each other's eyes.

So we withdrew our hands at the same time, but my fingertips still had the touch of his fingers... Mephisto Madsen and I were floating in the air, looking at each other silently among the tall bookshelves—— I found that not only did the name suddenly become a high-frequency word in my life, but the owner of the name appeared in front of me in person, and I was caught off guard.

It's not a hallucination, it's not a confusion spell, it's not something wrong in my head, I'm 100% sure, that's Mephisto Madsen, alive, able to cast spells, and the Mephis who read the same book as me Te Madsen.

Hmmm... I'm really inexperienced, after I found out I was a stand-in lover for my ex-boyfriend, his true love self came face to face with me, it's...

The magic power and spiritual power we emitted when we used the levitation technique collided in the air-that is enough to prove that this is not an illusion, the illusion does not have mental power fluctuations, and then we all felt that there was no hostility or threat to each other, so it was almost the same time ,we say:

"Hello."

"Hello."

Mages have been famous since ancient times. I'm sure more than half of mages are socially phobic, so I don't know what to say on this occasion. Fortunately, Mephisto is too.

So we still looked at each other calmly and calmly, and we didn't hide our intention to look at each other. Our eyes were open and aboveboard. For mages, a clear line of sight meant that we were concentrated, and we didn't secretly plan to use despicable spells to sneak attack. Embarrassed or disgusted, it was a friendly message. Our magic went back and forth to test each other, and the messages we received were all peaceful.

Without the screen, the real Mephisto looks warm and lively, without any gloomy temperament of the typical black mage imagined. I saw his hair on TV was lighter, close to beige, but I found that it was probably Due to the chromatic aberration of the lens, Mephisto’s long hair in front of me is almost the same light flaxen color as mine, and is longer than mine. The carefully maintained soft hair hangs down to her waist, but the color is the same as mine, not as shiny as platinum , and not as deep as brownish-yellow. The sun shines on people reminiscent of a rattan rocking chair when taking a nap in the afternoon. It is a comfortable color.

Uh, I'm definitely not boasting about myself, I don't have any opinions on my own appearance, but this color is very attractive to Mephisto, especially his delicate facial features, and the slightly raised eyebrows make him look energetic .

When I looked at each other, I found that, not to mention, although our faces are very different, our styles are quite similar, but his eyes are bluer, and mine are a bit grayer.

When I was thinking about how to speak, he was the first to say, "Good afternoon, I'm Mephisto Madsen."

Of course, of course I do.

"West Princefield." I replied with a smile. "I know you, but it was a surprise to meet you here. I thought you would be preparing for the summit site."

"Give me a break." Mephistopheles drooped his shoulders, tilted his head, and looked very discouraged, "You also paid attention to that summit? The Berserker Summit that was open and the participants started fighting with chairs, I The most boring event I participated in this year, even if they fight with spells, I won't have such a headache like now."

"Yeah!" I strongly agree, "That's impressive, one is a high-level member of the Magic Council, and the other is a high-ranking mage of the Arcane Alliance. , and threw cups and shoes at each other, those who didn’t know thought they were exchanging hidden weapons!”

Mephisto was obviously touched by what he said to me. I think it’s because he was at the scene. Biceps, picked up a chair and started a fight, throwing objects at each other occasionally, and it was broadcast live all over the world.Even if the director broadcasts an emergency commercial, those few seconds of footage are enough to make people imagine the horror of the follow-up battle, and the pressure from the government has not suppressed the endless stream of video clips from the people.

"I remember that was three years ago, the last summit, and the scene was super funny!" Mephisto nodded fiercely, obviously recalling the absurd scene he had personally experienced, "The problem is, what they are arguing about is the apprentice Super stupid question! Any mage should know that is common sense! Putting one space alchemy product into the storage space of another space alchemy product will cause space disorder, because the two are both man-made Subspace..."

"... Not only will the items be rejected by the space, but the broken subspace may even swallow the item user into the void! This is the first taboo of space magic. Artificial subspaces cannot be superimposed twice!" I continued "At that time they ignored the concept of man-made space. Not all space magic can't be used together, but only when an independent man-made space is formed! The caster can use things like teleportation while carrying space alchemy products." Kind of space magic..."

"...This is because the two spaces will not overlap stably during this process, but pass through them for a short time, just like water flowing through a pipe, they will not fold twice on the main material plane!" Mephisto clapped his hands, "The constant storage space attached to the item, compared with the short-term space transfer magic, one is constant and the other is temporary. The difference is clear at a glance. The reason is extremely simple!"

I spread my hands, "That's right, it's the most obvious and easy to understand. Any entry-level space spell book will note this item. How could there be a mage arguing about it!"

"That's right!" Mephisto snapped his fingers, "It's hard to understand! That congressman actually thinks that wearing a space ring for teleportation is a dangerous act, and even tried to propose the government to prohibit citizens from carrying space rings and using magic teleporters!"

"It's nonsense, it's ridiculous! I also think that the knife for cutting vegetables is too dangerous and will cut your hands. It's better to ban everyone from cooking and change them to eating raw Chinese cabbage!" I said.

As a witness, Mephisto was obviously more excited. He waved his arm, as if trying to drive away those bad memories. He said: "If a mage wears a space ring to cast a teleportation spell and fails, it can only mean— ——His magic level is too poor! He will fail if he runs naked, don't blame the space ring, how many cash-strapped mages dream of it but can't afford it (I nodded fiercely to this sentence). As for the magician Guidance teleporter, yes, that congressman still thinks that he can’t wear a space ring with a magic teleporter! It’s so funny! I suspect he’s talking in his sleep! Magic technology, is that the same thing as space magic? Magic technology is still It belongs to modern technology! Its teleportation technology is fundamentally different from magic!"

"Yes! Magic equipment can even be put into a space ring! Although Magic Technology's storage bracelet also has a storage function, but because of their different nature, they can be stored with each other, and there is no need for secondary stacking of space at all. Good question!"

"Completely two systems! Magic is magic, technology is technology, magic technology is still a product of technology even if it has some magic power! Ignorant and superficial common people, full of useless politics in their heads, pay more attention to it. Academically, no such joke would be made!" Mephistopheles said.

Mephisto and I hit it off almost immediately. I haven’t had the opportunity to talk academically with people like this for a long time, because usually the audience requires me to explain common sense words. For example, Jasmine is a graduate of a magic academy. , Don't even know the difference between divine art and arcane art?Divine spells are brought about by faith, and only priests can do them. Arcane spells refer to the basic spell system of mages. Only after mastering the basic principles of arcane spells can we further learn advanced stacking spells and elemental spells. To explain to a graduate!Fortunately, it was Jasmine, if it was someone else, the conversation would be terminated directly, no one would happily explain to the baby why a person needs to breathe, unless it was his parents.

Especially space-related spells, because of the popularity of magic teleportation, most people... Before today, everyone except me felt that the research I was doing was meaningless, and they didn't care about magic teleportation and ancient magic. What is the difference between teleportation magic, and they don't mind whether space magic and magic technology's space transfer are two principles-I'm talking about them, even government councilors.Although Jasmine expressed her willingness to assist me many times, I don't think she understood the charm of space magic.

"There are always many truths that cannot be measured by price, and cannot even be used for profit in modern society, but this is not because knowledge is meaningless. Knowledge is not equal to federal currency. Every knowledge in this world is subordinate to the laws of the world, and the laws of the world are not Because whoever makes the money leans toward him," Mephisto said.

"Truth is priceless," I replied.

The sun will not stop rising because no one pays for it, the stars will not be bought and changed by a check, and knowledge will not lose its meaning because it cannot be converted into cash.

I feel like, after today, someone will finally understand what I'm doing.

"Mel, you can call me Mel." It was still he who took the lead.

Hmm, that sounds a lot cuter, Mephisto feels like a devil's name.

"Alright Mel." I smiled. "Sipe, just call me Sipe."

I saw Mel nodded, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled at me: "That's much better, Simplins, your full name sounds like a profiteer selling immoral goods."

"Ha, you're not that good either, I think I've heard similar pronunciations in "The Devil's Guide." I also answered him with a smile.

After finishing speaking, we couldn't help laughing, even though it's not decent for a mage, we should always be calm and composed, only by keeping our focus and a stable mental state can we perform correctly and efficiently when we need it. Spells, but... Occasionally, it is really not particularly easy to restrain.

Mel suddenly suggested: "There is only one book, why don't we read it together."

"The reading area over there is very nice, with beautiful potted plants and tables suitable for reading, but when I come here on weekdays, there are always a lot of noisy children running around with picture books."

"There shouldn't be a lot of people today." Mel said with satisfaction, "Everyone is watching the Manic Summit."

We reached out and took down the book together. There are several black magic in the book that directly attack the soul. It belongs to the ancient undead spell. The dark light circled around the two of us twice, and then disappeared into the void.

"By the way, you should read this book." I suddenly remembered something, floated to the side, and then took down the book that bit people just now from the shelf. The book is now curled up and closed tightly. He pursed his mouth, whining as if crying.

Mel felt very surprised, and poked the shivering corner of the rolled book: "What did you do with it?"

"I don't care much about it." I said, "It bites, I just feel its teeth feel good, so I touched it for a while."

In response to my words, the book hummed twice again.

Mel reached out and took it: "Well, let me try."

As he said that, Mel opened the book he was trying to hide three times. This scene made me feel a bit like a cold dentist and a trembling child.I guess it was similar to the scene when I touched it just now, but... that tooth feels really good.

The book opened its mouth pitifully, and Mel and I held one of its covers, stroking its white fangs together.

"You're right!" Mel said contentedly, "It feels great! This cold and smooth feeling reminds me of the first time I stole my teacher's staff when I was a child, and it's also like the moonlight crystal that was just mined from the heart of the mountain. Shi, the magic power is abundant and pure! It’s a pity that this is a precious ancient book, otherwise I couldn’t resist breaking it off and taking it away.”

After he finished speaking, the howling voice of the book suddenly increased by an octave.
