Bone Throne

After cheating Feng Yaran hard, Nangong Yin walked out of the cafeteria refreshed and prepared to go to Zangshuge to read a book for a while.He has no class in the afternoon, and Platinum Academy treats students relatively loosely. As long as there is no class, as long as you don't leave the academy, you can do whatever you want.

Zangshu Pavilion is recognized as the favorite place of top students in Platinum Academy. Nangong Yin, who is about to break through from "Scholar" to "God of Learning", is no exception. He spends most of his free time in Zangshu Pavilion .

Nangong Yin, who is already a formal student, can go to the second floor of Zangshu Pavilion to read books.Most of the books on the second floor are books about magic, and they are books that are hard to find outside.Books like "Comprehensive Explanation of First Level Magic", "Comprehensive Explanation of Second Level Magic", "The Essential Connection between Low-level Magic and High-level Magic" and other books that cannot be bought without channels from the outside world can only be used here as table legs. And those books that can be placed well on the bookshelf are those whose price is inversely proportional to the quantity, such as the book "Magic Companion-A History of Advanced Magic Alchemy" by the sage Kamedi, which is a must-read for every magician. One of the books that Nangong Yin read on the second floor is also the first book, and this book is only circulated among the major colleges and is not sold publicly.

It is said that there is a very difficult assessment from the first grade to the second grade. The scope of the assessment is all the books on the entire second floor. In other words, it is to let the first grade students read so many books in one year. No wonder Platinum College's graduation rate is as low as its enrollment rate.

Nangong Yinqing walked up to the second floor, looked around, and found that the seat was basically occupied, except for a single wooden chair in the corner, but it was very far behind and surrounded by bookshelves, probably no one else looked at it. That's why no one sat there.Nangong Yin walked over and put the notebook and pen on the chair to occupy the seat first, then turned around and went to the nearest bookshelf to start picking out the books to read.

After reading the history of magic development, the medium of communication with magic is too difficult and too abstract, and he still can't read it now...

Nangong Yin slowly walked from one end of the bookshelf to the other, his fingers quickly slid over each book, and his gaze followed.When he was concentrating on choosing the book, he accidentally kicked something with his foot and almost tripped over it. When he looked down, it turned out to be a book with a torn cover.

Nangong Yin bent down to pick up the book. The front and back sides of the book were pure black without any patterns or characters. The spine of the book was trimmed with gold, and a row of small crosses were arranged on it. Although it was covered by dust, it could not hide the book. its own brilliance.

This is interesting.

Nangong Yin wanted to open the book, but his hand was cut a small hole by the sharp corner of the cover. The blood flowed down the edge of the book and was absorbed by the book before it fell to the ground.After that, the entire book shone with a faint golden light, and the cover opened automatically.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a change, Nangong Yin was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, looked around, saw that no one noticed what happened here, so he was relieved, closed the book, and found a more Standing in a hidden corner, I opened the book again.

Turning to the first page, there are rows of curly cursive characters printed on the yellowed paper, and the pure black handwriting flashes with golden light from time to time, making it even more mysterious.Nangong Yin read the contents of the book carefully, and after a while he frowned in confusion—he realized that he couldn't understand it!

What is meant by "I understand each word separately, but I don't understand it when combined", Nangong Yin has now truly realized it.

Nangong Yin tried his best to mobilize all the knowledge he had learned in his life, but still couldn't understand the words that had no logic, no grammar and no connection, so he had to give up resentfully to turn to the next page.However, just as he picked up the corner of the page with his fingers, a thin voice suddenly rang in his ears: "If you don't understand this page, you will definitely not understand the next page."

"Who!" His eyes widened suddenly, Nangong Yin closed the book with a bang, and quickly looked around, trying to find the person who spoke, but no matter how hard he searched, he still couldn't find it.

"It's me, it's the book in your hand." The thin voice sounded again, this time much clearer, Nangong Yin could hear it clearly, looked down at the book in his hand, and saw the black At some point on the cover, a girl holding a hollow golden ball appeared, dressed in a black gothic lolita outfit, sitting on a chair, smiling and swinging her slender legs.

Nangong Yin raised her eyebrows slightly, the tension in her heart did not increase because of this treacherous scene, but it subsided a lot, and she didn't think there was too much dust on the ground, so she sat down cross-legged and put the book in front of her.

"Are you a book spirit?"

There are many supernatural legends on the Wenya Continent. Although they are all fabricated nonsense, some of them have some basis, such as the book spirit.

Book spirits, as the name suggests, are elves born from books. They are introverted and afraid of people. They don't have strong strength, but they are knowledgeable and proficient in everything.Book spirits are real. For example, there is a book spirit in Platinum Academy that has survived for hundreds of years. Its knowledge reserve is almost as good as that of a great sage who has been famous for a long time.However, the conditions for the birth of this kind of elf are very strict, and it will not appear easily, so Nangong Yin only heard of its name, but never saw it.Now seeing a young girl appearing in this unnamed book, I naturally think that she is the legendary book spirit.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the girl withdrew her smile, wrinkled her cute bun face and said, "I'm not those stupid and weak book spirits! My name is Yan Zinuo, and I'm a moon elf who came out of the elf forest."

"Are you a moon elf?" Nangong Yin stretched out his slender index finger to poke the girl's bun face. There was no softness as expected, but a cold solidity. She withdrew her hand regretfully, and said calmly: "Since you are a moon elf, why are you in the book? Could it be that you were sealed in it?"

The moon elf named Yan Zinuo puffed up his face angrily when he heard the words, but soon withered again. He held the ball pitifully and said, "I'm not sealed by someone, but it's almost enough. Hey, human, can you Can't take me in?"

"I don't take in creatures of unknown origin." Nangong Yin said.

"I'm not a creature of unknown origin. I've already said that I'm a moon elf from the forest of elves." Yan Zinuo glared, and his steamed bun face puffed up again.

"The reason is not sufficient." Nangong Yin flicked Yan Zinuo's forehead, and said in a low voice, "I didn't know that Moon Elf would also suck blood, and make a blood contract with him without others knowing."

"You!" Yan Zinuo's eyes were wide open, like the squirrel Nangong Yin saw not long ago, "Why do you..."

Nangong Yin was silent.He knew it just now when his hand was cut by the corner of the book and the blood was absorbed by the book, but he didn't stop it because he wanted to know the secret of the book.Now that he knew it, he had the feeling of being involved in a bigger secret again.

Yan Zinuo said that she is a moon elf, but the moon elves on the mainland are almost extinct, and the few remaining ones have reached the age of exhaustion, sleeping under the mother of life tree in the forest of elves, how could there be such a young girl? The moon elves voluntarily entered into a blood contract similar to an "equal contract" with humans?

Seeing Nangong Yin's serious face, Yan Zinuo suddenly shrank his neck in fear, sat up straight with his mouth pouted, scratched his curly hair, and said: "Okay, this is my fault, I apologize to you, Don't be angry. But I didn't lie to you, I am really a moon elf, although... can only be regarded as half the soul of the moon elf."

Half the soul of the moon elves?It was the first time Nangong Yin heard such a statement, but seeing that Yan Zinuo didn't continue to talk, but hid his head behind the ball, he didn't ask, but said: "Okay, your identity is I don't care about anything, as long as it doesn't cause me trouble. Now, cancel the blood contract with me."

"Huh?" Yan Zinuo was dumbfounded.She never thought that someone would take the initiative to terminate the contract with the elves who had already signed. Aren't humans desperately trying to sign contracts with elves?How come the situation is reversed here?

Yan Zinuo looked at Nangong Yin carefully for a long time, and after confirming that he was not joking or playing hard to get, he glared angrily: "Hey! You really don't know good or bad! I signed a blood contract with you because I think highly of you! Don't you want to become stronger? I can help you! Others can’t ask for it, why do you refuse?!”

"You can become stronger on your own, without the help of others. Your identity is a trouble, and I don't want to get burned." Nangong Yin said concisely, without being moved at all.He never felt that relying on the help of others to be strong is worthy of admiration and envy. It is not something that is obtained through hard work, and it will always be a mirror image, and it will not last long.

"You, you... I'm not troublesome!" Yan Zinuo blushed with anger, clutching the ball tightly with his fingers, as if he wanted to throw it at him, "I don't care! I won't break the blood contract with you Yes! This kind of contract spirit can only sign once in a lifetime, if it is canceled, I will only be trapped here forever!"

Nangong Yin's eyes dimmed.How could he forget this.Seeing Yan Zinuo's determined face, it seems that she will not break the blood contract with him.Forget it, anyway, the status of the two parties who signed the blood contract is equal, and if there is any trouble in the future, they can't deal with it and just sit on the sidelines.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yin said: "Since you don't want to terminate the blood contract, then let's make an agreement in three chapters."

"Three chapters of the agreement?" Yan Zinuo was taken aback.

……

When Ding Yuye returned to the dormitory with Ding Xuanhen, who was so tired that he fell asleep, he saw Nangong Yin reading a book in the living room, and there was an unopened bento on the coffee table in front of him. his.

Carried Ding Xuanhen back into the room and put him in a good place, covered him with a quilt and turned off the light, Ding Yuye walked out of the room lightly, fell down beside Nangong Yin, turned over and leaned against him : "Nangong, I'm exhausted, my master actually took me to practice magic for a day, the old man is just trouble..."

Ding Yuye's long ending voice inadvertently revealed deep fatigue, holding Nangong Yin's hand as if he was about to fall asleep immediately.

Nangong Yin turned the pages of the book without raising his head, pressed his elbow against his lower abdomen, and said flatly: "Get up, eat the bento and take a shower."

"Can I eat after waking up?" Ding Yuye's voice was so low that it seemed to be blown away by the wind, and he was already in a trance and almost couldn't hear what Nangong Yin said.

"No." Nangong Yin cruelly rejected what he thought was a very reasonable request, and the hand that was not held by him flicked hard on his forehead, knocking away [-]% of his drowsiness.

Ding Yuye sat up holding his forehead, and looked at Nangong Yin sadly. Seeing that he was unmoved, he just picked up the bento and opened it. The bento was already cold, and it must have been left for a long time. Thinking of Nangong Yin guarding the bento and waiting for him to come back in the living room, all sleepiness disappeared, and he started to eat with a smile on his hands.

Nangong Yin glanced at Ding Yuye, wondering why he was still giggling after eating a bento, but seeing that he was eating happily, he didn't say anything to hurt him.

After closing the book, Nangong Yin saw a small figure leaping past the pure black cover, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and then casually put the book on the corner of the sofa.

"Remember to take a shower after eating." Nangong Yin got up and walked back to the room, his voice lightly reached Ding Yuye's ears.

"Got it." Ding Yuye wolfed down the bento, then said to Nangong Yin's back, "I want to sleep with you tonight!"

The night wind blew in from the unclosed window and opened the cover of the book on the sofa. A delicate and lovely girl was sitting in the middle of the pages, holding a piece of paper in her hand and muttering something, listening carefully I heard a few words that didn't even make a sentence.

The author has something to say:

Happy New Year!It's a bit late, but I wish you all a happy day!
