I really don't want to cross

Chapter 415
"You guys really don't seem to be from this world."

Beatrice looked at the magic knowledge written by Wood in her hand, and couldn't help secretly marveling in her heart. From her experience, these magic theories had the possibility of success, and they were not written by the other party casually.

But just as Wood said, the magic recorded on it is beyond her ability... No, strictly speaking, no one in this world except Wood can learn these magics.

"But it really inspired me a lot."

Beatrice nodded and put on a disgusted expression: "Only this time, Betty admits that you are not a good-for-nothing homeboy, at least you can make a little contribution to the world." After all, she was very proud He raised his head, but the movement of raising his head lasted for a long time without getting a reply.

Turning her head, Beatrice realized that Wood on the other side had fallen asleep at some point. When she looked over, the whole person gradually slipped from the chair as if boneless, and finally knelt down in a posture with his butt raised on the ground.

"..."

A smile flashed in Beatrice's eyes: "It's a new pose!"

After a few days, she learned nothing else...but learned all kinds of sleeping positions from this lazy bastard; Step into sleep in seconds.

Worthy of the title of 'Sleeping God'!
Betty didn't bother Wood's sleep, and looked down at the unique magic theory in her hand. If she used this as a reference, her yin magic, which had reached its peak, would almost certainly be broken through.

If this book is spread outside, it will be enough to cause the snatching of countless magicians and elf envoys, even Roswaal is no exception.

It can be seen how precious this book is.

however……

Beatrice looked at Wood next to her strangely. She really didn't know how to evaluate this guy named Wood. Although she had heard from Subaru Natsuki who brought the Buzz brothers and sisters to visit Wood for a long time, how scary this kid was. , how vicious.

But after a few days of getting along, Beatrice didn't feel that Wood was scary except for his strength, or...Being with this kid made Beatrice feel very relaxed.

Like now.

In order to snatch the dessert that he asked Rem to make, this guy actually gave him such a precious magic book directly.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Beatrice shook her head directly, too lazy to think about Wood, anyway...

After all, just a passerby!
In this silent atmosphere, time passed bit by bit.

A day passed in a blink of an eye. Although I couldn't see the outside, if the time was not mistaken, it should have entered the night outside now.

And at this moment, the door she had been looking at for more than 400 years but which had been frequently pushed open recently was suddenly opened, and Subaru Natsuki's beaming face came into Beatrice's field of vision.

"Yo, little loli, haven't you slept yet?"

Natsuki Subaru waved his hand very naturally. Judging from his tone, it was obvious that he had encountered something very happy.

He looked at the situation in the library, and when he saw Wood who had been in the same sleeping position as if he was dead, he curled his lips: "This guy really sleeps every day. I wanted him to help me look at it." What has changed in you?"

"Have you been able to break my 'Gate of Opportunity' as a matter of course? It's just a mere human being."

"Don't be so indifferent, how can I say that I am also a neighbor who often comes to your place." Subaru Natsuki didn't care about Beatrice's ridicule at all, and walked towards the library while talking: "Since that bastard fell asleep Come on, little loli, help me see if there is any change in me?"

"When I went shopping with Rem in Alam Village outside today, I had a great addiction to preaching. I felt as if there was a fire burning in my body, like some kind of terrifying power that had been sealed long ago. Taking faith as an opportunity, I am gradually awakening."

"Sure enough, Betty still hates a self-righteous human being like you."

Beatrice closed the book in her hand, looked Subaru Natsuki up and down: "It's a pity, that's just your own illusion, nothing has changed on you..." Beatrice frowned, her face as blue as the ocean A strange color flashed in his eyes.

"how?"

Caiyue Subaru was overjoyed when he saw this, and said excitedly, "Is it possible that I am about to awaken some supernatural ability?"

Beatrice didn't speak when she heard the words, but glanced at Wood, who was unresponsive, and shook her head after making a few circles with her index finger on the vertical scroll: "Is there anything you said that Betty is not interested, but I think You shouldn't be happy with the changes in you."

Natsuki Subaru was stunned for a moment, a little confused about the meaning of Beatrice's words.

But before he could ask a question, Beatrice snorted coldly: "Okay, get out!!"

After speaking, the void suddenly trembled.

Before Natsuki Subaru could react, he was lifted up by an invisible shock and thrown out of the forbidden books library.

With the closing of the door, the Forbidden Bookstore once again returned to calm.

But Beatrice didn't continue to look at the book in her hand, but frowned and looked in the direction of the door, and suddenly said, "Aren't you going to save him?"

"Why should I save him?"

Wood's voice sounded suddenly, and he turned his head to see that Wood, who had been sleeping like a dead pig before, had sat back on the chair at some point, looking at Beatrice with a half-smile on his face: "You Could it be that you naively thought that I would save him, that's why you didn't say a word to remind him?"

Hearing this, Beatrice's little face instantly turned cold.

"What does it have to do with Betty whether he dies or not?" She snorted coldly, then, as if she was afraid that Wood would not believe her, she added, "The reason why I ask this is because you are his friend."

"Is that so?"

Wood stared straight at Beatrice's big blue eyes.

"Humph!"

Beatrice gave Wood a hard look, then looked down at the book in her hand.

This scene made the corner of Wood's mouth twitch.

It's really awkward.

But he didn't get entangled in this topic, but leaned back lazily on the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "There is one thing you are mistaken, Subaru Natsuki and I are not friends, you have to say that I and If he has any relationship, it's just...to use each other."

Beatrice squinted and said with disdain: "Do you think Betty will believe your nonsense?"

"That's the truth."

Wood said with a smile: "I'm a timid person, so in order to avoid getting into trouble, I have always been very kind to strangers, and he is just one of countless strangers in the world."

Wood paused, pouted.

"If it was a few years ago, I would probably say that I don't need friends who are useless, but now I have to admit...some people, even if they are not of any benefit to you, you will unconsciously Being attracted to them, eventually becoming wanting to be by their side, even if it’s temporary, even if it’s dangerous, even if you might encounter death, wanting to be by their side till the end.”

"Humans are, after all, creatures with the habit of living in groups."

"So Natsuki Subaru is not my friend, he can only be regarded as a familiar stranger who doesn't want to offend."

Herd habits... huh?

A look of complexity flashed across Beatrice's small face, but she restrained herself immediately, and gave Wood a cold look: "That's why Betty hates you humans. It's obviously very weak individuals who gather together to survive. They've been fighting with each other."

"Really?"

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched slightly: "Instead, I think it's more appropriate to change the 'hate' you said to 'yearning'."

"Ok?"

Beatrice frowned, and a stern look flashed across Wood's eyes, with a clear look of annoyance on her small face: "It's enough for Roswaal to be crazy, and you want to change too." Do you have to be like him?"
