The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl
Vol 3 Chapter 12: Borrow books
In the world with the harsh north wind, the huge ice sheet covered by thousands of miles of ice, from the sky, apart from the very few ice monsters that are still active, no signs of life can be seen.
With the advent of winter, even the local residents of these ice fields-all kinds of ice monsters, have begun to prepare for the winter. Before the coldest season comes, they will do everything possible to store more fat to fight the terrible winter night.
In a corner of this ice world, in the middle of a lake surrounded by countless icebergs, stands a strange castle. Although it looks like this castle is no different from an ordinary aristocratic castle, its water-blue appearance and the miraculously slow-flowing lake around it seem incompatible with the entire world of ice and snow.
This kind of castle should appear in the south, by the romantic and vibrant beach; it should appear in the forest, among the countless dense plants; but it should never appear in this far north, only in the white world of ice and snow.
Because of the existence of this miraculous castle, many very cute little animals have gathered here. With their clumsy bodies, they wobbled around the water, and fell into the water from time to time. However, the slightly cold lake water for humans obviously has no effect on the little beings in the snowy world. After shaking or shaking for a few times, they quickly stood up and continued to live in this as a legend. Play in the ideal township-like place in China.
The strange thing is that only those ice and snow monsters that are not large in size and do not have any harm can enter here. And those adults who have grown up and started to learn to kill prey are all isolated from this world. Beside this lake, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that actively blocked the entry of the beasts, making it a paradise for all the larvae of ice and snow beasts.
Among these young ice-type monsters, who often fell down when they were just born, one figure was particularly eye-catching. It was an old man in a water-blue magic robe. He was holding a notebook, watching the ice-type monster larvae running around, while recording something.
Unlike the staid and fanatical old wizard in people's impression, although he looks very old, the old man's waist is straight, his writing posture is also meticulous, and there is no sense of sloppyness at all. It can be seen that he is wholeheartedly studying what he has recorded.
However, this weird and peaceful atmosphere was broken with the arrival of an uninvited guest.
"Huh!" From the distant sky, there was a sound of waving wings. In the originally quiet lake, countless small ice cubes suddenly appeared, as if some powerful force had directly invaded this miraculous world.
"..." The old man, who was attentively writing about how the young monsters gathered the power of ice and snow, shook his head. It seems that today's research is over.
However, this is no alternative. After all, there is only one person in this world of ice and snow that can penetrate his water realm so easily, or a beast.
"Come in, Lord of the Sea of Ice." Although the power he possesses has reached its peak in the human world, it is far inferior to the Lord of the Sea of Ice.
"Crack!" In the sky where there was nothing, a huge crack appeared, and a terrifying breath of ice leaked out of the crack, making the young monster beast curiously watching the ice suddenly appearing in the water. We fell to the ground together. For these little things, that breath is too strong. Not to mention them, even their parents can only lie on the ground when facing the master of this power, waiting tremblingly for her to leave.
"You have changed places again, causing me to search for a long time, Cavendish." The Ice Phoenix waved his ice-blue wings and fell from the crack in the sky. Although there is nothing unusual about it from here, in fact, this castle, including this lake, is completely hidden in this world of ice and snow. Even for her, it took a lot of time to find this place.
"It's just for the necessary research. Is there anything going on here?" Although facing the owner of the entire Arctic world and the sea of ice, the old man didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the momentum of the ice phoenix, but he saw it. The smile of an old friend.
"Of course there is something, and it's a big event, a very, very important event!" Of course, the Ice Phoenix, who had searched half of the ice and snow world to find its position, was not here to stop by. She came here to collect more books. In this world of ice and snow, there is only here, it is possible to find the books she needs.
"Big matter? Looking for me?" Cavendish looked at the lord of the ice sea strangely. He really couldn't think of anything that would trouble her in this world of ice and snow. You know, she has a dream bird that can cause natural disasters that can be frozen thousands of miles away by waving her wings. In the entire ice world, she is the strongest—no one.
Although he is called the "Sage of Water", there is absolutely no chance of winning against her. Of course, he had never thought about that kind of thing either. From very early on, he had been in contact with the lord of the ice sea. Thanks to some common hobbies, his personal relationship with the lord of the ice sea is pretty good. Otherwise, he wouldn't come here, and he would give up almost everything in the human world and concentrate on studying the magic of water.
"Yes, only please. Let me borrow from your library!" The Ice Phoenix couldn't wait to transform into a human form, and then rushed directly to Cavendish's castle.
Strange, what happened? It was the first time Cavendish saw the Lord of the Ice Sea look so anxious. The big things she said are really not trivial. If it doesn't make it right, it may affect the survival of the entire northern world.
Although he is not very interested in things other than research, it is not that simple to find another environment without this research. After a little thought, he collected his notes and returned to his castle. inside.
Although his castle looks very big, the things inside are actually quite simple. Except for some simple furniture, other places are basically occupied by various books. Moreover, unlike those wizards who only study magic, his collection of books can be said to be strange, ranging from common recipes to taboo black magic books.
He who lives in seclusion in the North Pole, the only place he has contact with the continental world is these books. Every winter, when almost all ice monsters cease activity, he will go to the Wizards Guild to discuss the process of magic research with several other eighth-level wizards, and at the same time use the power of the Wizards Guild to collect a lot of books.
This can be regarded as his biggest hobby besides magic research. The large amount of inheritance left by his family allows him to collect all the books that appear on the mainland without any worries. Even if you can't buy the original, you can copy it down and bring it back. I have to say that in this regard, the Wizards’ Guild gave him a lot of help. In return, he joined the “Shadow of the Sage”, the highest organization of the Wizards’ Guild. Although, he didn't attend an important meeting, he just had a place.
However, after Cavendish came to his library, he realized that the development of the matter was not what he thought. The Lord of the Ice Sea looked for neither a magic book such as "The Key Points of the Most Forbidden Curse of the Ice Element", nor a secret book of ancient knowledge such as "Secrets of Ancient Language Magic", but the book library occupied the largest share, but he also The least seen part. That is to say, the most common books such as "Tasty and Fast Food Practice", "How to educate the offspring correctly", "What about future dreams" and "New Fairy Fables" are published on the mainland every year.
How is this going? Cavendish remembers that the lord of the ice and sea’s favorite, it should be those young, precious books that record legendary magic and some special beast habits. It can be said that she took a copy of all the similar books he had collected. And these ordinary books, she usually just take a few casually to pass the time.
From the perspective of Super Warcraft, she is easy enough to learn. After all, even Cavendish himself just collected the books published every year according to his habit. What really caught his attention were the books that recorded ancient magical knowledge and secrets. At this point, he and the Ice Phoenix can be said to be very similar, which is also one of the reasons the two became friends.
Wait, as the ice phoenix picked more and more books, Cavendish discovered a pattern. That is, the master of the ice sea, the books selected this time are all books related to parenting. Many books of this kind are published every year. After all, with the change of generations and the environment, the way of educating children also changes. It can be said that such books will continue to appear as long as humans are still there.
But what does this kind of book have to do with the Ice Phoenix? What does she want these books for?
After waiting for half an hour, Cavendish discovered that not only these parenting books, but also more inexplicable books were picked out by the Ice Phoenix Master.
In any case, he couldn’t understand how the lord of the ice sea suddenly faced things like "Thinking of the Spring", "How to Correctly Teach Children to Communicate with the Opposite Sex", "Mom, Hug Me", and "Like and Like Mom the Most". Interested in books. Especially the last category, although it has something to do with the mother, but...
