Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

"Senior, senior, or senior, will the college distribute the textbooks after the semester starts? Or should I buy them myself?"

【Selling Small Refrigerator】→【Sorrow is greater than heartbreak】

The other person responded quickly:

"First, call me senior. Second, the college will distribute the textbooks after the semester starts. The teaching materials are compiled by the professors themselves and cannot be bought outside. Do you want to preview?"

[Selling small refrigerators]: "Yes, yes, senior sister, do you have any good ideas?"

[Sadness is greater than heartbreak]: "It's hard to handle. Most of the first-year textbooks can be used in senior grades and even after graduation, so it's difficult to buy them from previous students. And last semester, many seniors and seniors failed at the end of the semester. I passed the exam and am preparing to take the make-up exam when school starts."

Aecilia foresaw her miserable future from these few lines. She was silent for a while and asked:

"Senior, can you tell me the school's failure rate?"

There was no reply for several minutes, and Aecilia thought she had hurt her senior sister's heart, but she finally received a reply.

"I just went to see what books I won't need this holiday. It seems that there is only one "Basic Potions" in the first grade. "Basic Magic" and a dozen other books have been borrowed by relatives.

"The whole school's failure rate? At the end of this semester, it was probably 60 to 70 percent. Senior sister is kind enough to tell you. Don't blame senior sister for attacking you."

"Senior sister, you can actually lend out a book! You have a 60 to 70 percent failure rate without failing? That's amazing! I want to borrow "Basic Potions", is it okay? (??v ??)?”

"Okay, send me your address and I'll send it to you now. By the way, there are discounts through the academy's shipping channel. Please send me your number~"

"Okay, okay! Thank you, senior! Wish you all the best, senior!"

With the student number, the other party can go to the school to check her class and dormitory at any time, and there is no need to worry about her not enrolling in school.

Aecilia didn't intend to do such a bad thing, so she handed out the number honestly.

In fact, you need to submit a written application to the school to check your number, and you must have a valid reason to be approved. After all, it is a matter of personal privacy. As long as she has not done anything bad, the other party will not be able to check her, so there is nothing to worry about.

After politely saying goodbye to the cyberspace, Aecilia checked the address of a nearby library and planned to go there when she had time.

As for now?

I'm so tired, go to sleep!

After her lunch break, she ordered takeout and caught a glimpse of a bottle of green drink she had bought at some point on her desk. The packaging was the very common Chatian green tea, a flavor she liked very much, but at this time, only half of it was left.

Just the thing to relieve boredom.

She effortlessly unscrewed the cap and drank the last half of the bottle of green tea.

Hiss, it's a little more bitter than usual.

After a while, she washed the bottle, put it on the soft chair with great care, and went out to take the pumpkin carriage to Magic Alley.

Most magic tools are traded here.

It is said to be a magic "alley", but it doesn't look like an alley at all. The streets are as spacious as the city center, with shops and hotels on both sides, and many enviable single-family residential buildings interspersed among them. With tears in my eyes.

There is a map not far from the street showing the locations of various shops.

The wand area was concentrated in the middle of the street. She walked all the way to the middle and saw many magic crystal shops on the road. Many transparent windows displayed highly purified magic crystals that were moist, clear and cute in appearance.

The ordinary magic crystals in the world are more than enough to provide energy for household appliances. The more expensive high-energy magic crystals are luxury goods that only appear on large facilities such as airships. What these two have in common is that they can only be driven by people, but not for others. absorb. The original intention of making highly purified magic crystals is for magicians to absorb them into their bodies and purify the elements stored in their bodies to improve their strength.

The magician's body is compared to a container. The magic elements absorbed from the outside environment are like gases. After entering the magician's body, they are stored and used by the magician at any time.

Highly purified magic crystal is equivalent to a liquid. After being absorbed, it becomes an element stored in the mage's body, and on the other hand, it plays the role of calling gas to liquefy into liquid.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that under normal circumstances, the density of liquid is greater than that of gas. Under the same volume, more elements can be stored in the form of liquid than in gaseous form, which is more beneficial to the durability of magic use by the mage.

Magical combat can be compared to a water fight. Of course, the more water you carry on your back during a water fight, the more exciting and powerful the fight will be.

The purpose of using highly purified magic crystals is to convert the "gas" in the body into "liquid" to make room for more magic elements to be stored.

Moreover, from the perspective of magic intensity, it will be more difficult for a mage with a small density of magic elements in the body to cast magic, and the magic effect he casts will be weaker.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the so-called magic affinity, which is magic talent in the secular sense. The higher the affinity, the more magical elements will actively run into the mage's body and be purified or used according to the mage's instructions. The external manifestation is that the use of magic will be smoother and the learning will be faster.

And if the magic elements don't like you, they won't let you store them honestly. Even if you work hard to absorb them into your body, they won't obey you from the beginning. Unless you train hard and frequently, they will After running in with you for a long time, I am willing to adapt to your deployment.

Nowadays, no matter how high the talent level is, highly purified magic crystal is absolutely useful for all mages. The high concentration of magic elements it can provide and the effect of driving the purification of elements in the body cannot be achieved by the mage himself in a short period of time through his own practice.

But this thing is very expensive. The official price of a 50g piece is one gold coin or two.

Aecilia often couldn't help but stop in front of these windows, but in the end she could only leave with a calm expression but with great reluctance.

When she reached her destination, there were three staff shops on the side where she was, and two more on the opposite side. She pondered for a moment, retreated to the center of the street, and compared the floor heights of several staff shops.

The house in the middle of this side is the shortest, so this one is the first.

"Welcome to the 'Dodder Flower' staff store. From now on, Miss Robert will be your exclusive shopping guide. How can I help you?"

A half-human-tall rabbit with snow-white fur jumped towards her. Its cheerful and lively greetings were melodious. The high-end personal service made her ears ring with the sound of money flowing out of her pocket.

"Thank you, Miss Robert, I want to see the ice staff."

Esilia maintained her calm and relaxed tone and nodded slightly towards Miss Carrot.

"Ice staff? It's a rare attribute. You're awesome! Please follow me to the second floor~"

Aecilia suppressed the urge to be stunned by this strange way of communication and followed closely beside her. The decorative oil lamps beside the wooden stairs glowed with a warm yellow light. Aecilia looked at them curiously. , blinked.

"We're here~ Please be careful of the steps."

After going upstairs, Aecilia followed Miss Carrot's guidance and walked into a wooden door. The layout of the room behind the door no longer used the wooden materials that symbolized the retro style of the store, but replaced them with white ones that were necessary for storing a large number of staffs. Demon-suppressing Ore, this mineral looks very much like metal. At first glance, the white "metal" walls and the glass-looking protective cover around the staff complement each other, revealing a strong sense of modern technology.

The staffs were displayed row by row under the protective cover. She also saw the customers on the side reaching out and clicking the button next to the protective cover. The staffs were also displayed in a 360° rotation without blind spots. The pause button was pressed for guests to watch carefully.

This room must have used space magic. She couldn't see the end of the room from where she stood. The vast array of staffs were neatly laid out around her waist. She had no idea, so she turned to look at Miss Carrot.

"Please wait a moment, I am smelling your scent. Miss Robert will do her best to choose a suitable staff for you!"

After saying this, Miss Carrot closed her eyes and sniffed closer to her side even more vigorously. Aecilia didn't dare to move for a while, letting the professionals do their work.

After a while, the little rabbit stood still, moved his nose calmly, and stayed still for ten minutes.

Aecilia:…

She chooses to respect professionals.

……

Her feet were numb from waiting, and she began to look at the professionals.

……

She was still challenging her limit of standing still when Miss Rabbit suddenly jumped up.

"I found it! Little sister, come with me~"

As she spoke, she jumped and sprinted forward.

Aecilia:! ! !

Just wait for me, sister!

Aecilia shook her numb legs without tears and ran forward with her.

The rabbit ran faster and faster, almost disappearing from the end of her field of vision. Aecilia was keenly aware of something, and mobilized the surrounding ice elements to clear the way for herself, speeding up and rushing forward. After Miss Rabbit stopped, she couldn't stop the car for a moment, and grabbed her rabbit's tail with one hand.

It's fluffy and soft and feels great...

It was as if the pause button had been pressed on Aecilia's whole body. What woke her up was Miss Carrot's red eyes and look on the verge of tears.
