What happened last night?
Dont ask, the answer is nothing.
When I got up this morning, the wound at the corner of my mouth beca a topic of discussion. But I wouldnt admit what happened even if I were to be beaten to death, so I insisted that I had been sleeping the entire ti last night. Thus, this problem now turned into an internal conflict between the four remaining. Bai Huang convened a makeshift conference. With crossed hands right beneath her lips, she made a show of being earnest by starting off with:
It seems that the criminal is amongst us.
The other three individuals expressed in succession:
Its not .
Its not .
I-its also not
Because there wasnt any evidence or clues, this matter beca one of West-Resisting Citys unresolved cases. Many years later, it was incorporated into West-Resisting Citys Seven Biggest City Legends. This mysterious hickey gained when asleep turned into a tale circulated among the young n and won, and many riajuu couples scrambled to imitate it as it beca a popular way to show off.
After this night, each of them busied themselves with their tasks.
At present ti, there still isnt any word from Fang Thirteen on the front line, so I assu that the situation is still deadlocked. That being the case, Moon has no choice but to start preparing for the worst; that is, if Fang Thirteen still hasnt conquered Li Nengs territory by next spring, then he must find a way to let those landless outsiders survive.
Laws to protect sharecroppers are essential and asures to limit land acquisition is also on the agenda.
Aleyas still persevering in practicing her swordsmanship every day except for when she has to follow out. If Im staying at ho, shell maintain the leave early and return late situation and continuously train until shes on the verge of exhaustion.
There was even less of a need to ntion Bai Huang; after finding no traces of the assassin, shes been bringing people out to patrol West-Resisting City and pledged to arrest the assassin whos escaped her grasp several tis now. Hejis been following Bai Huang and doing his utmost to protect her safety.
Felita began sitting at her desk every day, holding books in her hands and reading them.
I rember that before that night of cohabitation, Felita had been delving into cryptic, difficult to understand grimoires. Just as the cohabitation ended, shes started sleeping very late at night and getting up very early in the morning, making a bit unable to put up with it any longer.
On this day, I made a cup of tea and handed it over to Felitas weary self, then asked:
What are you looking at?
Felita regained her spirit in a heartbeat and hurriedly tried to stand up, but was pushed back into her seat by .
She closed the book in her hands which resembled a tattered and worn out ancient text.
Im reading a book that I purchased recently. But because it uses ancient writing, I have no choice but to find other books to cross-reference the aning of the text. Only then have I barely made sense of a bit of its aning. There are many magic symbols and magic formation drawing thods that are already much different from current ones. If I cant understand the principle, then theres fundantally no way to directly make use of them
I moved to Felitas side and she imdiately rubbed herself on my arm like a cat.
I browsed the book for a while and discovered that I also didnt recognize anything.
In the field of ancient texts, there are very few people studying these things besides sorcerers.
That includes . If it were sothing else, I might give it a try, but for sothing like this that I personally have no use for, I naturally wont take the ti to learn. Felita pointed at one of the magic formations and explained to :
To draw this magic formation now, I basically need to replace this rhombus with a triangle because triangles are easier to draw and is also a type of simplification. But in reality, Ive been having the feeling that its more appropriate to draw the rhombus. But if I change it back, the corresponding chants will also have to change. This book does have a record of the original chants, but Im not entirely clear on these wordswuuu
I stroked her head and said:
Then in that case, have you made any progress?
Felita rummaged through her book pile and spread several of them out before , then patiently explained:
Master, take a look. This here records magic thats almost entirely the sa as the magic in the book Im reading, so this section of the chant should be the sa as what Ive morized. The characters over here are the sa, the aning they represent should be sun. Then look over here
Felita diligently interpreted things to . In order to make sense of a particular section of the book, she would more often than not need to flip through several dozen books as reference before she figured it out. Theres no such thing as a search engine in this world, so she cant just search online for the anings. She has no choice but to rely on her own power and hard work to understand bit by bit.
Felita held the cup with both her hands, then extended out the tip of her tongue to lap the tea.
Seeing the heavy dark circles under her eyes, I felt a bit of pain in my heart.
But Im not able to help much, only if theres so guy proficient in ancient writing, otherwise
Wait a minute.
Proficient in ancient writing
I hurriedly rushed to bid farewell to Felita, then ran all the way to the Demon Cultivation Farm. There were no guards here that didnt know ; even though it was already nightti, everyone energetically welcod my surprise inspection. After nodding to send my greetings to them, I ran over to a solitary room, opened the door, and was t by the sight of the sli lying flat on the floor.
Youngster, get up! Its ti to pay your rent!
I stamped my feet right next to the sli and it imdiately bounced up from the floor, quickly recovering its spherical shape. It rapidly turned left and right as if it were looking around and asked:
What happened? Whats the matter? Is there an intruder? Want to run away? Q-quickly bring this king and run away!!
I raised it up in my hand and asked with a chuckle:
Nothings wrong, I just want to ask you sothing. Werent you known as soGod Era Weapon? That ans youre from the god era, yeah? Then you recognize ancient writing?
The sli answered:
I recognizedont recognize!
Once it finished speaking, it appeared to be struggling internally, then slowly continued:
Aiyahthis king seems to rember~but this king~has a bit of mory loss. What to do? Speaking of which, this king only has a little fragnt of mory, so its impossible for this king to rember everything
I felt amused upon hearing its words, but I still endured my temper and asked:
Then how will you be able to rember?
The sli ford a thin tentacle, used it to tap its glossy head, and replied:
Well, about thismaybe if this king eats so more Demons~and becos a little stronger~then hell rember. The more and more this king eats, then the higher the possibility that this king will rember things. In the end, such a trifling thing like ancient writing will naturally be a cinch.
I pinched its body and inquired:
And if I dont agree?
The slis body caved in, enveloping my hand, and it said:
This king, this king will
It thought for a bit, then found that it was unable to do anything to , so it turned its body and continued:
Will feel very sad.
After saying those words, the sli wrapped around my hand and remarked:
Go, lets go! You promised this king that you would bring this king out once every month, you cant just go back on your words in the first month. Besides, theres definitely a lot of fun and interesting things to do over at Demon Race Territory! Lets go! Bring this king! I beg you!! Staying here every day is really boring!
Even though I really wanted to throw it off, it kept on clinging to without letting go, becoming quite the annoyance.
