Chapter 6: Obsession with Reading
The storage room ...? ... There are so many books piled on the floor, perhaps there is a map of the demon realm among them?
The impression of humanity's cruelty and brutality towards demons made Siri unable to remain passive in her cage, so she chose to use the most valuable thing she possessed, a ring inscribed with the spell for "short-distance teleportation"
This is her name
The attack of that little mouse is not yet over, as pale inscriptions flicker around her body. Several books on the ground float up, transforming into her weapons and shooting towards Joshua
Qiao Xiu returned to the imperial city alone from the reception hall
The great wizards recorded their latest discoveries in obscure and difficult-to-understand texts, concerning the theories of magic, which were compiled into a book. Most of the books in this world are like this; indeed, they are filled with various useful knowledge, yet they are so tedious that Siri feels like falling asleep.
Beauty and the Beast What is this
Curiosity is an essential trait for every magician, and Siri is no exception. She reached out and turned to the first page of the folded white paper. As soon as she saw the first line written on the paper, her attention was instantly captured
Qiao Xiu is not directionally challenged; it took him more than ten minutes to return to the door of his room. Even before he pushed the door open, Qiao Xiu sensed that there seemed to be a ... ? ... little mouse inside
As she watched the ring on her fingertip turn to dust, Hili's heart seemed to turn to dust as well
When she truly confronted the dangerous existence of the demon of sin, fear had long made Ciri forget how to breathe
She now has an impulse to find this author and compel him to finish writing everything.
Who knows that the heavens can be unpredictable, or perhaps she was simply too unfortunate; the caravan she was traveling with not only suffered a robbery by bandits, but afterwards she was also kidnapped by a group of dangerous demons
Qiao Xiu's pupils contracted slightly, and the gray magic in his hand instantly overflowed, shattering the magic that surrounded those books
Thus, she began to search among the piles of books with a nervous heart, gradually expanding her search area from the floor to the adjacent desk.
The door of this room has been slowly pushed open
Siri was persuading herself in this manner, yet she was still living in the demon realm, amidst a multitude of demons.
At the end of the delicate short staff in her hand, there is a line of small characters inscribed: "Shiri Lloydel"
At this moment, Xili suddenly realized that... words are such fascinating things
Although Qiao Xiu is the weakest among his siblings, it does not mean that he lacks any combat ability at all. After all, his identity as a Chaos Demon, a race that reigns at the pinnacle of all demonkind, is undeniable.
This item could cover her food expenses for three years, and at that time, I had to swallow my pride to obtain it from her wealthy sister
Ciri surveyed the room, the level of disarray sufficient for her to consider it a storage room.
She is a wandering apprentice of magic, and due to financial difficulties, she hitched a ride with a merchant caravan, preparing to go to the magical capital "Nolan" to seek help from her sister.
White magical particles gathered within the room, and within just a few seconds, the gathered magical particles formed the silhouette of a human being
Gray magic overflowed from Qiao Xiu's hand, and with a gentle grip, the impact formed by the magic instantly dissipated into nothingness
The issue with the female protagonist has been temporarily resolved, and the biggest obstacle remaining in the film shooting schedule is the problem with the camera
Escaping from the cage does not signify anything; it is essential to find a way to return to the world of humans
What awaits Shiri in the cage is unclear to her; perhaps it is to be fed to the beast as food, or to become a sacrifice for some bloody ritual
Qiao Xiu must find a way to resolve the issue of the video clips stored within the original crystal as soon as possible
Whenever Siri recalls the scene of her kidnapping, she feels a lingering fear. It is important to note that the existence of malevolent demons is something she could only slightly glimpse through the accounts in books.
Indeed, at the moment when Qiao Xiu pushed open the door, the surrounding magical elements began to stir restlessly, and a tremendous impact struck Qiao Xiu, causing the candles in the room to be extinguished in an instant
Qiao Xiu picked up the three books that had fallen on the ground, dusted them off, and said loudly to the little mouse in the room
In just a moment, Hiri suddenly came to her senses
In order to confirm, Hili flipped a few more pages back and found that they were all blank, abruptly halting the story at its most exciting point
Meanwhile, in Qiao Xiu's room
This figure finally solidified from the ethereal into a tangible form
Similar questions filled Shiri's mind, akin to a person who has not eaten for a long time savoring a sumptuous meal
... ...
Shili realized that it was already too late to find a place to escape at this moment, instead of being engrossed in these words
That demon kidnapped her and some surviving villagers to the demon realm, but instead of killing her, simply locked her in a cage
A human female appeared in Joshua's room, collapsing weakly onto the floor. The magical robe she wore indicated that physical strength was not her strong suit
Exchanging three years' worth of meal money for one's own life is quite a bargain
Just as Siri was getting into the story, which had just progressed to the exciting scene where the protagonist Belle confronts the demon in the castle... Siri flipped to the next page and found it was completely blank
As a magic apprentice, Siri has always regarded written words as a dull entity, believing that the purpose of their invention is solely for recording.
Embracing this thought, Hiri began to search among the books piled on the ground
Who is this ... ... who wrote this thing after all
As Siri finished reading the first paragraph, the thought of "glancing and leaving" completely vanished from her mind, replaced instead by a vivid imagery of the story constructed by the words on the blank page.
Self ... ! ... but in the demon realm ... ! This means that the author is very likely a demon, and she is currently ... ... running away!
Once upon a time, there was a wealthy merchant who had three daughters. This merchant was a very wise man, and in order to educate his children ... ...
A stack of white paper on the table caught Siri's attention, or more precisely, the title written on the white paper
The unique magical characteristic of the Chaos Demon is "chaos"; not only can it affect its own magic, but Joshua can also plunge the enemy's magic into a state of "chaos"
What is the development of the story afterwards? What happened to the protagonist Belle's father in the end? Did Belle go to the demon's castle?
Why is it gone
Hasn't your teacher taught you how to treat books
In a perilous place like the Demon Realm, running around aimlessly without any plan is undoubtedly a recipe for disaster; Shiri's courage has not yet reached such a level
Oh my!
This urgent desire to know what happens next left Siri feeling extremely frustrated
As long as a map can be found within this area, her chances of survival will increase significantly
