Although he didn't know what Kvitt was doing in the teaching building at this time, Kolusta didn't seem to be interested at all, and he still leaned on the pillar wholeheartedly, sneezing and squatting on Musen.

"Temporary carrier, do you want to go to the medical room to prescribe some medicine later?" The system suggested worriedly, "Your condition seems to be very bad."

Obviously it was just a small cold the day before yesterday... I don't know why it became so serious.

Kolusta sighed, rubbed the tip of his red nose, and said helplessly, "Okay, let's go again in the afternoon."

If she didn't go, she was really afraid that she would be suffocated to death on the spot because of poor breathing.

After the crowd had dispersed and the teaching building was no longer crowded, Kolusta hurried into the lowest building with thick stone walls that could isolate the cold wind.She stood in the open space where only three or two people stayed and thought for a while, then she suddenly showed a wicked smile, and when no one else was paying attention, she immediately sneaked behind the wide open copper door.

It wasn't until she hid it that the system couldn't help but said, "Did I tell you that you are very naive today?"

Just play house, now you even have to play peek-a-boo?

"What do you know?" Kolusta tidied up the corners of her skirt overly cautiously, letting it rest on her knees to avoid revealing any traces, and said lightly to the system until she felt perfect, "Go up When we parted for the first time, Mu Sen’s expression was one of embarrassment that he wished he would never see me again... Presumably his feelings at that time were not much different from when I recited poems in front of Wen De. In this case, if If I reappear like nothing happened, it is very likely to arouse the other party's evasion mentality."

"Yes," the system said deeply, "After all, not everyone is as thick-skinned as you."

"..." Kolusta pretended not to hear, but still managed to maintain a calm and calm demeanor, and then analyzed, "Mussen seems to be a stranger who does not approach others, but in fact he is the most irresistible The enthusiasm of others—the stronger the attitude, the more shameless he is, the more willing he is to open his heart to others.”

Speaking of this, the brown-haired girl rubbed her chin, shook her head and sighed sincerely: "To be honest, if those little girls who showed affection to him at the beginning could persevere... there might not be a chance for me to take advantage of the loopholes to get my favor now." .”

But there is no way, the times have changed, and the thick-skinned and dark-hearted will win the world.

The system quietly took notes on her analysis, and asked absent-mindedly, "So now... are you going to warmly scare him?"

"How do you say it?" Kolusta dissatisfied, "Scholar's business, can it be called scaring? This is called an innovative greeting!"

The system fell silent, and secretly decided to submit feedback to the high-level developers when it returned, and label the heroine a "childish ghost".

With so many squatting experiences, Kolusta has already figured out Musen's class schedule and the time to leave the teaching building.Sure enough, not long after, when the teaching building was completely empty, the black-haired boy, who was still slender but had been visibly raised for a long time, came down the stairs, holding two color books in his hand. The thick and heavy books look like two volumes, the pale face has no expression, and the whole body is filled with a faint coldness.

Kolusta peeked out one eye at him, but remained quite calm, hiding herself carefully, and continued to wait for him to pass her ambush.

Sure enough, Musen walked to the door without looking sideways, and didn't notice anything unusual, while Kolusta secretly listened to his footsteps, and after silently counting five seconds in his heart, he jumped out from behind the door, and at the same time He also put his hand around his lips with a smile and put a trumpet around it, and said loudly in a very wicked way: "Afternoon - good -!"

Her silly appearance is like a tricky toy with spring-loaded boxing gloves that will jump out when the victim opens the gift box. Although she is childish, she can really scare people.

"...!"

Caught off guard, the black-haired boy was caught off guard.

At the moment when he was frightened, whether it was his eyes or his movements, Mu Sen made a defensive gesture.He subconsciously put his two fingers together and moved his wrist, and Kolusta immediately felt a gust of wind blowing gently, with an imperceptible sense of danger, coldly and delicately brushing the brown-haired girl's fragile neck.

She blinked her eyes without a trace, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened a little.

A qualified stress response is worthy of being her pawn.

However, before she could continue to observe anything, the frightened unlucky child reacted, and immediately lowered his fingertips as if to cover up, and said angrily: "What are you doing to scare people—you are boring!" not boring!"

After he restrained his magic power, Kolusta's fluttering hair fell down again due to the dissipation of the wind magic. Facing Musen's accusation, she chose to show a begging smile tolerantly, as calmly as coaxing a child Said: "Okay, okay, I just want to tease you. Don't be angry, how about I treat you to drink juice?"

Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mu Sen, who was hit by a soft nail, had no choice but to lose his sullen expression, pursed his lips, and gave her an unhappy look.

This guy really loves to mess around.He secretly depressed.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now, and didn't directly condense into a wind blade attack... Otherwise, now, I'm afraid I have to go to the medical room to end it.

While he was slandering in his heart, he looked worriedly at Kolusta's neck without any trace, making sure that the other party was not attacked.Under these entanglements and conflicts, I really forgot all of a sudden the feeling of "wanting to turn around and leave" when I saw the other party.

"Which fruit juice?" Mu Sen said sullenly, sounding not too excited, "Let's talk about it first - if you do what you did last time, order me a glass of durian and peach mixed juice without asking." …Then congratulations, within the next 100 years, you will never see me appearing in front of you again.”

"Why do you hold grudges so much—this time I asked you to order yourself, can I remember?" Kolusta muttered, turned and walked towards the corridor, and said very dissatisfied, "Durians are so fragrant, You have no taste."

Mu Senli didn't want to talk to her, but pinched the center of his brows wearily, looking terribly tired, but he held the two books tighter in his hands.

……

The beverage store is not far from the teaching building. It is a small log cabin full of fairytale style. Kolusta kept his promise and handed over the menu to Musen. After hesitating for a while, he finally ordered the cheapest glass of lemonade.

Kolusta didn't try to persuade him, she directly withdrew her hand, and asked for a cup of milk tea for herself.

They sat in some inconspicuous seat by the window.

Although it was cold outside today, the sun was still dazzling. Musen's two tomes were placed on the small table, and the long shadows they cast overlapped with the drinks that had just been served, making them look extraordinarily crowded and messy.

Kolusta picked up a small silver spoon and stirred in the cup, the rich milky fragrance permeated with the steam, even if she had a cold, she could still smell the sweetness.

After the fresh milk and black tea were completely fused, she put the spoon aside, took a sip of the hot milk tea, closed her eyes happily, reached out and knocked on the leather book cover on top, and spoke first Curiously asked: "What is this? It's strange. It doesn't look like our textbooks, nor does it look like the history books in the library... Hey, I don't think I've seen it before."

As soon as the words fell, the black-haired boy who was sipping lemon juice froze, lowered his eyes almost subconsciously, and said vaguely: "...it was given by someone else."

Upon hearing his tone, Kolusta blinked, put down the teacup, and looked at Musen with an unnatural expression.

It seems that these two books are not easy.

Kolusta's first official task was to "unlock the title of [Wise Man]". For this reason, she lived in the library for countless days, and until now she is still very clear about every book. Incidentally suffered from a long history of PTSD.

But the two books that Mu Sen carried today, even she has never seen... I have to say, this is really strange.

"As we all know, in the entire Kingdom of Nobili, all books except history books will be collected in the Royal Library. ——Even the Holy Light Magic Academy was only chartered by the first king' to own books that have been The paper textbooks that have been reported'; and the schools that ordinary people without magic can only use handwritten documents handed down from generation to generation for a hundred years."

The brown-haired girl narrowed her eyes, tapped the book whose name was unknown, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I'm sure, this book is not included in the college library, and in our textbooks, No other book looks like this..."

Mu Sen hung his head, his back was straight, his fingertips were tight, and he held the lemon juice cup in his hand tightly.

Kolusta looked at him, pursed his lips and sighed lightly, but still did not soften his heart, and continued to lower his voice: "I heard someone say that if it is not authorized by the kingdom, or given by an unauthorized person, Under the premise of leasing, if you illegally possess books that are not in circulation, no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, you will be charged and punished by the palace..."

"And as far as I know, no commoner has ever obtained a legal book certificate issued by the royal family. So, student Mu Sen, you'd better explain to me clearly, these two books—where did they come from?"

Hearing Kolusta's obviously serious questioning, Mu Sen frowned, looked at the two books with a little uneasiness in his eyes, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Don't worry, there are legitimate sources."

Kolusta said in surprise, "That's..."

"It's 'gifted by nobles'."

Mu Sen sighed deeply, and said helplessly, "Do you know that Miss Hippel who is in our class?"

Miss Hipper?

Kolusta did know that it was Luis Hipper's sister, Tina Hipper.

However, she would know this lady not because of that Louis who had met once, but because of Tina Hipper herself... who has a very high reputation in the Holy Light Magic Academy.

Kolusta asked with a strange look: "Is it the second young lady of the Earl's family who was frail and sickly in the legend, grew up pampered, and was so soft-hearted that she couldn't bear to kill a bug?"

"...that's her," Mu Sen said helplessly, "today, next to the bathroom in the corridor—maybe it's the stagnant water that stepped on the ground—anyway, for some reason, that lady slipped suddenly. , and almost fell to the ground... It happened that the friends accompanying her were far away. I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I helped her up, but I didn't expect that she would not let me leave afterwards. He also said that he must let me make a request in return."

"Wow," Kolusta imagined the scene, and teased, "Heroes save the beauty?"

Mu Sen gave her a blank look, and continued: "I was in a hurry to get away, and I saw that she was holding... Well, this set of books, I thought she borrowed them from the library, so I just came here in a hurry Take it."

"But I didn't expect it. It wasn't until I returned to the classroom and turned two pages that I realized that this was actually one of the books that the Royal Library handed over to the Hipper family."

As he said that, Mu Sen stretched out his hand and turned the book over. Halfway through, he seemed to think that the bottom one was in the way, so he took it down and put it on the empty seat next to him. In front of Star, he showed the other party the exclusive marks of "Royal Library" and "Hipper Family Crest" on the back of the book.

Kolusta reached out to take it, touched the smooth leather cover, and said in amazement: "Compared with this book, the books in the college library can be called crudely made—it's almost like parchment. There are a few staples, and it would be an embarrassment to stand next to it."

However, Mu Sen was not in the mood to express his appreciation. He sighed and said with a headache, "I never thought it would be so precious... If I had known it would be such a hot potato, I would never have helped that person." Mademoiselle—even if it's just a finger."

"It's so ruthless, Miss Hipper willingly handed over the books in the Royal Library to you." Kolusta tutted twice, and commented, "You really look like a white-eyed wolf."

Mu Sen glared at her again, and said angrily, "Which side are you talking about?"

"I'm standing in the middle." Kolusta replied casually, then pondered for a while, put away his joking gesture, and said earnestly, "Anyway, you remember to place it properly and try to hide it as much as possible, so that no one will know about it. It came from the hands of nobles, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

What she said, Mu Sen, who had been bullied for several years, naturally knew better than Kolusta.But I knew that it was different from other people's worried feelings. After hearing this sentence, the prickly boy was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he seemed a little shy and whispered softly, "...I see. .”

"Ding, Mu Sen's favorability is +5."

Kolusta also thoughtfully did not expose the other party's embarrassment, still turned the book with her head down, skimmed through the text on it, and said curiously: "Have you read it? What is it about?"

"I watched a small part," Mu Sen hesitated and said with some nervousness, "I talked about some knowledge about the origin and attributes of magic... If you want to read it, I can lend it to you for the time being."

Kolusta raised his eyebrows, returned the book, and refused in a gentle tone: "Even if it is a gift from a nobleman, the common people who receive the gift cannot hand over the book to others at will, even if it is a lease. —— This rule I I still know it, so I don’t want to borrow it—anyway, it’s not too late to tell me after you’ve read it all.”

Musen took the book, seemed relieved, and placed it next to the other one on the seat, smiled briefly at Kolusta, and said softly: "Okay, then wait After I read it... I will tell you all about it."

After drinking their respective drinks, the two left separately. Kolusta went to the medical room to prescribe the medicine again, while Musen walked towards the tower alone with two books in his arms.

It wasn't until he lowered his head and returned to his old and damp bedroom that Mu Sen let go of his hand, put the two books on the table, and lowered his eyes to look at them quietly.

After a long time, the black-haired boy sighed, like an insomniac who hadn't been immersed in sleep for a long time, and gently put one of his bony hands on his eyes.

After a long while, until he put down his hands and opened his eyes again, those dark eyes did not rest, they were still full of bottomless bitterness and exhaustion.

...Because he was feeling guilty, because he lied to Kolusta.

Mu Sen was silent, and laid out the two books of similar colors in parallel. The one handed to Kolusta to read was placed on the left side, while the one deliberately brought to the seat under the table was lightly placed on the left side. Rest lightly on the right side.

He put his palms on the covers respectively, and according to what Miss Hipper said, after reciting two different incantations in a low voice, the book suddenly glowed with different colors.

The lit book on the left is a clear sky blue, and a long string of beige cursive words gradually emerged on the dark brown cover like mud, which read "The Essential Attributes of Magic: Natural Magic, Light Magic and Dark Magic".

As for the book on the right, whether it is the light it emits or the feeling it gives people, it is completely different from the book on the left.

—its light is a dull gray, dimly and slowly flickering in an uncomfortable rhythm, almost indistinguishable from the mahogany-colored books.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Mu Sen stared at the book for a long time, until all the light from it had dissipated, and a row of patterns stretched out in a mess at first glance, but seemed to have a certain pattern on closer inspection. appeared on the cover.

The black-haired boy stretched out his hand, and lightly brushed the string of hot silver characters that grew wantonly like vines with his fingertips. It was as if a scroll was unfolded in his mind, and he accurately and word by word read the title of the book. Translated into the Nobili Common Language.

Demonic Linguistics: Civilizations from the Margins of the Continent.

The black-haired boy moved his fingertips and slowly opened the book.

Unsurprisingly, every sentence of it is written in complex and gorgeous Mozu characters; it is also not surprising that every sentence of it can be read by Mu Sen, who grew up wandering in the Kingdom of Nobili. You can see clearly.

"Sure enough... I can understand whether it's the demonic characters that are traceable in the history book or not."

He smiled without any emotion, and murmured softly: "Sure enough, what they said is true. ——I am a strange species hidden in the crowd, an unclean person who fled from the edge of the continent to the central royal city .”

In the sparsely populated corridor, on the book held by the noble girl, a certain pattern-like text was printed into Mu Sen's mind at a glance, and the meaning was accurately interpreted by the latter at that moment.

This time it's not a joke like "this product is for trial use only".

Frightened, the black-haired boy realized that his subconscious action had actually summoned the power of the wind silently.

He blew a handful of water from the bathroom, quietly splashed it on Tina Hipper's only way, and stretched out his hand just when the other party was about to fall, and exchanged for this book very purposefully ...books that allowed him to have enough information to finally identify himself.

Miss Hipper is indeed a kind-hearted girl who is a little too naive. She is grateful to the perpetrator from the bottom of her heart. After Musen made a request, she even took another book about magic attributes from the companion who specially took care of her. It was also presented to the boy who had just helped him.

It would be a good story if things were as Musen told Kolusta.

However, compared with the hidden truth, it seems that one of them is as despicable as a street mouse.

"Sure enough..." The black-haired boy closed his eyes, ended this memory, and continued to talk to himself, "Sure enough, I am a real demon."

——It is the nature of the demons to use whatever means they can.

——Every drop of blood in the cruel era is the best evidence.

They have inherited the creator's paranoia, cruelty, violence, and liking for lies. As long as they want something, even if they know it will hurt themselves, they will try their best to hold it firmly in their hands.

He took advantage of the innocent and innocent second lady of the Earl's family.

The truth he sought hurt himself.

He also used lies to deceive the girl named Ruth who had firmly comforted him, encouraged him, and trusted him.

"I am indeed a monster, but I don't want to be like a real monster, selfishly and cowardly, holding life firmly in my own hands."

There was no light in his dark eyes, and a few wisps of wind that appeared in the room stirred his hair. Mu Sen's voice was full of indescribable emotions, as if swearing to someone, hoarse and low, one word He kept saying:

"I am willing to dedicate my life to the person who always believes in me.——In her eyes, I am who I really am; in her heart, what I will do, then I will really do it What."

"I am your wandering believer, the demon clan who has just recognized my identity, and your loyal believer, Lord Taylor Bryce..."

"Goddess of Darkness, I pledge my soul, please witness this oath."
