Chapter 8, it is all the trouble caused by the mandala flowers
"I won't let it go!" I said, "I really don't know what else will come out."
I smiled with pride
The flowers planted in front of my aunt's research institute are just like this; I have always remembered them, visible yet untouchable
Big P said with a smile: "Here, what affects your mental state are HP and SP, which represent your health points and magic points respectively. If you do not engage in combat, your HP and SP will not decrease."
Therefore, we still need to find a way to enter the library, said Da P.
Indeed, congratulations, you are now an outstanding witch!
Having finished speaking, he pounded his chest and stomped his feet, saying: "How come all the good luck has been picked up by you, 555555."
The library has only one floor, but it is very tall, and the books on the shelves are stacked to the brim
Big P said thoughtfully: "Perhaps this is your aunt's ideal. The place she yearns for in life should be like this. An open world without barriers, like the human heart"
Alright, I said
It has been a long time since I last read such a thick book; I had long lost interest in studying. However, given the current situation, it seems that not studying is not an option. As I opened it, I discovered that the author is actually Ding Ke, and this book is much thicker than the one read by Xiaomai. The first page is an introduction to wizards, revealing that wizards are categorized into different types, such as ice, water, and fire.
"You killed someone!" said Big P, sneakingly trying to scare me, "Be careful or the police will arrest you!"
I am unwilling to accept this fact
"It is an exam," said Da P. "But we are not afraid. Ding Wei, you first pick up the important spells and memorize the codes. I will see where we can hit these monsters to obtain the necessary items. When the time comes, let us return to Eland Castle with our heads held high, and show them what it means to be a self-taught pioneer!"
He replied breathlessly, "This flower has a self-protection mechanism, it cannot be approached."
"Where did this wolf come from?" asked Da P.
"Ding Wei, Ding Wei, Ding Wei..." Da P kept calling me, but I did not respond
Is it not too much trouble? I said, terrified and sweating profusely
The hard shell! Big P jumped down from the desk, picked it up and said, "It comes effortlessly!"
"It is terrifying," said Big P. "The aggressiveness of this flower is incredible. However, for those who can subdue it, it may serve an unexpected purpose. I believe detailed information about it should be available in the library."
After walking for approximately 10 minutes, we entered the downtown area of Baou
I leaned against the corner of the wall, staring blankly at my hands
"What is the use of this snowflake?" I asked Big P
No! I said
I felt ashamed as I continued to bury my head in the book
He stepped forward a moment too soon, but unexpectedly, before he could touch the flower, it was as if someone had pushed him hard from behind, causing him to stagger backward several steps, his face turning bright red. Fortunately, I managed to catch him, preventing him from falling awkwardly to the ground
"It has been displaced," said Big P, sweating profusely. "Try again."
"Perhaps it will attract Yue Qingfeng," said Da P. "Let it go, let it go, let it go!"
In a moment of crisis, it felt as if it were a kind of hint. I crouched down and turned Big P's palm over to face mine, murmuring to myself. An immense force, seemingly from nowhere, pulled the thorn out of his hand completely, and the wound bizarrely fused in an instant. Big P took a breath and jumped up from the ground. We both stared in astonishment at my hand, where the deadly thorn had been, now replaced by an incredibly beautiful vine flower.
Wait a moment
"Mandevilla!" said Big P, "Come on, let's go touch it."
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Da P's mouth: "You wouldn't have fallen in love with him, would you? Hehe."
Big P shook his head and said, "With these flowers here, I fear I won't be able to enter."
Perhaps. "Big P said, "But to cultivate to level 50 or above will likely require a great deal of effort. What we are doing is called smuggling, do you understand?"
Who said I couldn't? Wasn't I just able to?
Reciting is actually the thing I fear the most, not to mention that the codes are long and chaotic, with no discernible pattern. However, I know I cannot be careless; if I make a mistake with even one, it could lead to dire consequences.
If one desires something, one can have it. Big P said, "This is a man-made world; whatever you want, you can have it."
I took a mandrake flower out of my pocket and plucked a petal to throw it on the ground. As soon as the petal landed, a fierce wolf suddenly appeared before us, lunging at me with a flurry of bites. Big P, frightened, jumped onto the long table in the library, shouting: "Freeze it, freeze it!"
My goodness, it hurts so much! Big P let out a terrifying scream, rolling on the ground in pain
Only by quickly returning to Eland Castle can one understand the truth of the matter
I smiled as I melted the ice for him and said, "Shall we practice a bit? What’s the rush?"
The book states: The mandala flower is a mysterious flower with mystical powers, and each petal that falls to the ground can summon unexpected beings...
As I casually flipped through the pages, I came across a spell called "Wall of Ice Blades." I recited the incantation, and without realizing it, I waved my hand. Suddenly, with a loud crash, a thick wall of ice rose up in front of me, trapping me between the bookshelf and the ice wall, unable to move.
Reach out and touch! shouted Da P from behind.
"Sit down and take a look." Big P called out to me, "It's tiring to stand."
I handed the flower to him, and he received it with great joy. However, just as his hand touched the vine flower, it suddenly transformed into a thick, sharp thorn, piercing deeply into his palm!
Big P waved his palm in front of me and said: "Are you scared silly?"
Is it brought by it? Big P said, "It's fun, let's try another one"
The legend of the sacred realm..." Big P read aloud each word from a line beneath the photo and said to me: "I guess your aunt has given the most powerful wizard roles to you and me. If I log in with my ID now, I should possess the same magical power as you.
"Allow me to flip through the book," said the obnoxious person slowly and nonchalantly
Use the Holy Spirit! Big P reminds me beside.
I extended my hand and truly touched the petal! At the very moment I made contact, a wave of coolness and comfort passed through my palm, and an indescribable sweet fragrance wafted into my nostrils, causing the flower to fall in response, landing in the palm of my hand
Of course, we should go. The legendary most beautiful magical city, I must take a good look at it. " After saying this, Da P exaggeratedly walked ahead of me with his hands behind his back
I followed his instructions and put on my lightweight shoes. With a thought, both my body and that of Big P suddenly became very light, and we soared into the air, stepping on flower petals, easily passing through the flower bushes to reach the inside of the library
"Can you guess what level I am?" I asked him
"Not dead, not dead," said Big P again, "Give him a rocket!"
I have never felt so selfish before
I interrupted him: "Whether it is or it isn't has nothing to do with you"
"Yes, my lady witch." He finally fell silent
It seems that I should not be too proud, as Big P's theoretical knowledge is indeed much more impressive than mine
"Obedient!" The wise adapt to circumstances, "I still need you to look out for me. It is unacceptable to be disobedient!"
This chapter is dedicated to the mandala flower
I applied my knowledge flexibly and, on a whim, used four ice walls to trap Big P with no escape.
What are we waiting for? Let us hurry to the library
Yue Qingfeng did not emerge; instead, what appeared was a vast expanse of ocean, with countless sharks leaping from the surface, their gaping jaws rushing directly towards us
Hello! We are of the same root, why must we be so hasty in our conflict!" Big P shouted: "You cannot do without me!"
I do not know how much time has passed, but after remembering several codes, I suddenly recalled a question and asked Big P: "Aren't we supposed to eat?"
After the dust settled, we found ourselves in a small cave. About a second later, the top was sealed, and the cave was plunged into darkness, with only the eerie sound of Big P's forced laughter echoing around us.
I sat down opposite him, and he chattered on, saying: "Don't you think it would be quite interesting to sit face to face like this in our school library while reading?"
"Read a book!" Big P pointed at the book and said to me: "For example, the most useful 'Invisibility Spell' requires twenty fly wings, ten locust thighs, three sheets of hard animal skin, one blue sapphire of destiny, and one mermaid's heart..."
"You are a witch, what are you afraid of?" said Da P, "Come on, don't be afraid, summon another one. It's all about the thrill!"
Do not hinder me from reciting! I warned him
I carefully cradled it and walked back to Big P's side, who said enviously, "Ding Wei, you are really cool, let me admire it too!"
"Why are you not convinced?" I asked him
"Hmph, your sorcery is innate, no need for further practice. You just need to memorize the code for each spell," said Da P. "I'm in a tough spot; if I want to survive in Ba Wu, I need to find a way to practice a few self-defense moves. The problem is that the props needed for practice can only be obtained from monsters, which is quite troublesome"
What if there is a fight
What should I do? What should I do? Looking at the large P rolling all over the ground, I was terrified and at a loss for what to do
I froze it, but it couldn't be held. He kicked the ice block away and continued walking towards me, and I was so scared that I turned around and ran away
Our group photo? Big P leaned in and said, "Your little aunt has quite the vivid imagination."
Unconsciously, I executed a move called "Heavy Snowfall." Immediately, the library was filled with white snowflakes, fluttering down gracefully from the ceiling, and it continued for a full minute before gradually dispersing
"Illusion, illusion!" said Da P, "Ding Wei, hold steady, use 'the sky is falling and the earth is cracking'."
I tightly covered my ears, and I realized I was trembling; I knew I was very afraid
Big P said to me, "It is said that the library of Baowu houses many books related to witchcraft, but only mages of level 50 and above can enter. Let's see if we can sneak in!"
However, that person said that Yue Qingfeng is already dead
Bau is indeed a mysterious and beautiful city. It is neither as desolate and dilapidated as the ancient city of Saint Yigu, nor as backward and isolated as Vankro. Strolling along the streets, you will find a strange intertwining of modern atmosphere and traditional culture. There are not many buildings along the roadside, and the view appears open, with the main road stretching straight into the distance, giving you an illusion of connecting with the sky
Trying again will certainly not allow entry into the library
Fortunately, I am already well-versed in the code for the ice wall, and I successfully froze the wolf.
Do not rush, do not rush! Big P struck a pose reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and analyzed, "Based on my incredibly intelligent and unparalleled mind, the reason should be as follows: your aunt has doted on you, perhaps granting you the most powerful mage NPC character here. Therefore, when you entered this city, you unconsciously learned magic. There was no need to attend that ridiculous wizard school in Eland Castle. The only pity is that you are not very skilled at using it.
I shouted loudly at him: "Tell me what happened?"
"No problem." I said, holding his hand, "Come on, try your teleportation array."
"Are you hungry?" asked Da P
"Quick, save me," I said, "I can't breathe."
Oh dear! These should be what your DINK teacher taught you. If I hadn't brushed up on it before entering the game, I wouldn't even know how to answer you. Big P explained to me, "During the fighting process, if it is a high-level wizard, they can timely replenish their HP and SP. As for the replenishment codes, you will have to rely on your own reading; it should be 'Healing Spell' and 'Refreshment Spell'.
"Will there be many people coming after the game is launched?" I asked Big P
Big P said to me: "Pick out something useful to look at, preferably something that can be learned quickly." After saying this, he began to rummage through the bookshelf eagerly. The first book I casually picked up was "The Quick Mastery of Wizardry"
I gritted my teeth and said: "My aunt is a witch"
As the raging waves and sharks were about to crash before me, I waved my sleeves and gritted my teeth to finish reciting the code that Big P had given me. What I did not expect was that the heavens truly fell and the earth shattered. The floor of the library cracked open a large fissure, isolating everything surging towards us, and both Big P and I fell through the crack.
I copied a thought, and five rockets shot through the ice and struck the wolf. He fell to the ground and died, and the ice wall subsequently disappeared. A hide was left on the ground
This time we checked into a hotel. The colors of the hotel are very simple, and on the beautiful fabric sofas in the lobby bloom clusters of mandala flowers. Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of ropes for a thousand years; even though he knows they are artificial flowers, Da P still does not dare to sit down and just stares at the sofa.
"You take me in with your lightweight shoes, and I hope your magic can cover me." Big P encourages me: "With your thoughts, step lightly over the flowers. Ding Wei, you can definitely do it!"
"Ninety-nine levels." Big P said, "There is no need to ask about this."
He tried, but we do not know which cursed place he flew to
Wow! Big P said with jealousy, "Your aunt is being a bit too biased."
What happened? I asked him
"So cool." Both Da P and I were stunned.
No! He pleaded, "Find it! You can resolve it using the 'Ice Melting Power', turn to page 129 of the book"
"Quick... quick, use... use magic to save me." After rolling for a while, Da P stopped rolling, lying on the ground with a pale face, looking as if he was barely breathing.
Watching the person lying on the ground transform into a wisp of white smoke, disappearing before my eyes
I was about to throw a petal to the ground when D P suddenly shouted, "Wait, wait, let me first take the book and hide in a safe place. I can remind you when you can't remember the code."
After the heavy snow, the orcs disappeared, leaving behind two glass-like objects on the ground
His appearance still resembles that of a small post, only when he is being slick and smooth does he resemble Da P. As I walk behind him, I suddenly feel a desire to see Da P's appearance again, or one could say, the appearance of Yue Qingfeng
As we spoke, our gaze was fixed on an oil painting in the hall, depicting a portrait of two individuals: one was me, and the other was Yue Qingfeng. We stood atop a high peak, with a pair of golden wings behind me, while Yue Qingfeng stood behind me, smiling at me.
I turned around and cast a divine magic spell, he halted his steps, swayed slightly, but did not fall down
Hahaha... Big P laughed maniacally outside, saying: "Don't mess around, be careful not to play with fire and get burned"
"It may take a dangerous situation to unleash the energy." Big P stroked his chin, pretending to be knowledgeable, and said, "First, let's find a way to get into the city library; perhaps there are books inside that can guide you on how to use your magic."
I flicked my sleeves in a fit of pique, but there was no spark, nothing at all
"It is not you and me," I retorted, "it is me and Yue Qingfeng."
"The blue celestial gem." Big P rushed over to pick it up and said, "At this rate, I will soon be able to master the art of invisibility, this is truly amazing! Put it down again!"
I have placed it again
"To walk or to fly?" I asked Big P
I soon discovered that the Book of Spells is not an ordinary book; when you immerse yourself in it, it begins to take on a three-dimensional form, with each type of magic displayed in a three-dimensional manner, dazzling enough to make you unable to part with it
I let him go... I tried to move forward, one step, two steps, three steps... Strangely, I was not attacked like Big P, but instead, I easily walked up to the flower.
Is there a police officer here? I said, There is no one here except the two of us
Alright, I said, if I had the ability but did not use it, it would still be mere talk
It seems I can hear someone whispering in my ear: "You are not Ding Wei, you are not Ding Wei, you are Ding Xixi, you are the supreme sorceress!"
If you continue to talk nonsense, I will take action against you
We left the hotel and arrived once again at the entrance of the library
No matter how formidable the monster may be, it should still be afraid; even if it cannot be killed, it can still be frozen.
It seems that this is the only way forward
If you were me right now, you would deeply understand that not knowing who one is, is the most terrifying thing in the world
I took out the mandrake flower in my hand
From a distance, the Baou Library resembles a church. The setting sun rests atop it, motionless like a golden sunflower. As I approached, my gaze was immediately drawn to the clusters of flowers in front of the library: Bougainvillea
No, he is real. He is him, and you are you
Is it really that amazing
I have learned it all!" He recited the code in a fit of anger.
As the equal-sized P retreated, I threw down the petals. To my surprise, a gigantic orc emerged, at least ten times my size, exhaling heavily, and approaching me with a knife in hand
I took out the note that Yue Qingfeng had left for me last time and said: "See if this is it, they told me I must bring these things when I return to Eirand Fortress."
What do you need? I asked him
I shook my head
Did not Big P also say that quick success is good? Then let it be "The Witcher Quick Success Method"
Heavy snowfall! The big P continues to prompt.
Is there a difference? Big P said, "Yue Qingfeng was created by your aunt in my image!"
I sat down with a swagger and looked around.
I shouted: "Watch how I deal with you when I come out!"
I was taken aback; before this, I had never attempted to fathom the inner thoughts of my aunt. She is such a beautiful, intelligent, yet lonely woman. ... In order to build this place, she must have sacrificed many things, such as youth, family, and love ... . ... And so much more, a complexity of feelings that I have never empathized with her about.
I exerted great effort to find that page, and indeed there was the "Power of Thawing Ice." Upon reciting the code, the ice wall vanished without a trace in an instant
Aren't you afraid? I asked him
"Five-star, huh?" Big P said, smacking his lips, "I can't believe there's no one here"
Well then, I said helplessly
