Luo Luo scratched her head. She wanted to say something, but Arikos was determined to leave. Not long after, his figure disappeared from the corridor of the library. Beside her, the archmage stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Uh, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that the words he said before he left were quite cool. I just don't know if he paid for my cup of coffee."
"…"
"Haha, seeing you two really reminds me of an old friend," Donahue said with a smile. The old man did not vent his anger on the two because of Arikos's matter. He looked at Luo Luo and Luo Bu, especially the latter's gaze, which was filled with unconcealable admiration.
"Oh? What old friend? "
"Well, it's a girl I liked when I was young, and she liked a senior brother whom I admire very much," the old man admitted generously. "They had their wedding the year I graduated from the academy. After that, the senior brother refused the invitation to teach in the academy and gave up the opportunity to become a grand scholar. He went across the sea with her to the kingdom of dwarves. They opened a tavern there and realized their childhood wish. It is said that they later gave birth to a group of little ghosts. Tsk, tsk, what an enviable guy."
Lolo's pretty face was red. "Mr. Donahue, you misunderstood me. We are not in the kind of relationship you think."
"Is that so?" The old man smiled and did not dwell on this issue. He paused and said, "I heard from Arikos that you came to Raphael Library to find clues about an Academy of Magic?"
The girl's eyes rekindled with hope. "Yes, we are looking for an Academy of Magic called St. Roland Brothers. I heard that you are the most knowledgeable person in Gudilesi and know the history of the university town well. Can you help us?"
The old man was still smiling. "Of course, I don't think any normal man in Gudilesi can refuse a beautiful girl's request." However, to Lolo's surprise, he suddenly changed the topic. "But I don't think you really need my help."
"Huh?!" Lolo was a little confused. She did not understand why the old man said that.
"About the Academy of Magic, in fact, your companion should have found a lot of interesting things from those books." Tang Naxiu's eyes fell on the youth's body. His eyes were like a drunkard looking at a bottle of peerless wine, a thief appreciating a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and a farmer looking at a heavy ear of wheat.
The Great Magician hesitated for a moment before finally nodding his head.
The girl was very surprised. "But didn't you say before that you didn't find anything?"
"Haha, it's because Arikos was there at that time. To be cautious in front of irrelevant people is a rare quality, but it is rare to see people of your age," the old man praised.
"You found records about St. Roland Brothers Academy of Magic in those books? So this Academy of Magic does exist?! " Lolo was surprised and happy. After coming to Gudilesi University Town, what worried her most was that this St. Roland Brothers Academy of Magic did not actually exist, but was just a fantasy of the mysterious teacher. If that was the case, she would probably be very confused, because this Academy of Magic had been her goal since she knew about it.
The girl summoned up the courage to escape from the surveillance of the temple, crossed mountains and seas all the way, overcome many difficulties, and finally arrived here successfully. During this period, only she knew how much she had suffered and how many thorns and dangers she had experienced.
After putting in so much effort, Lolo was really afraid that her efforts would be in vain. In that case, she did not know where she should go next.
Rob thought for a moment as if he was looking for a suitable way to express his thoughts. After a while, Archmage said, "Well, to be honest, this result is also a little beyond my expectation. If it were just a few words in the book 'Ukiyo-e of the Southern Cities', I would probably think that it was just some groundless rumors and the author Gulev's ravings after getting drunk. But after reading 'The Chronicles of Gudilesi', my opinion has changed. Unlike Gulev's' Ukiyo-e of the Southern Cities', 'The Chronicles of Gudilesi' was compiled by generations of scholars in the Library of Roland. It is more objective and the content is more rigorous. The unverified history in this book is basically treated as rumors, so there is no record of the St. Roland Brothers Academy of Magic in it. But … but there are a few things recorded in it that support Gulev's statement."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Contrary to the current general understanding of the magic world, before the first magic war, there was actually a second Academy of Magic."
Archmage threw out a bombshell without batting an eyelid.
"What did you say?!" Lolo gasped.
The first magic war could be regarded as the historical key point of the rise of the human race. The various details of it had long been studied over and over again by modern scholars. In the middle and late period of the war, Roland compiled his painstaking research on magic into a book and finally wrote the famous A Preliminary Exploration of the Origin of Magic. Before that, no one knew the mystery of magic as well as he did, so naturally, there could not be a second Academy of Magic.
However, in the Southern Cities Ukiyo-e, Gulev put forward a very interesting theory. After 36 years of research on the history of the southern cities, especially the University City of Gudilesi, he finally deduced a shocking conclusion from the collected historical materials. He believed that there was actually another Academy of Magic in the University City at that time.
When he announced this conclusion, what awaited him was overwhelming abuse and doubts from countless peers. At that time, public opinion generally believed that it was just an unscrupulous means used by Gulev to hype up his new book.
"But it's impossible! In that era, apart from Roland, who else could have insight into the secrets of magic? "The girl was not convinced.
Donahue also seemed to be very interested in this topic, so the old man also joined the discussion with great interest. "I can provide you with an explanation about this problem, but this theory is also not accepted by the mainstream academic community. Well, for the time being, let's just listen to it as a story."
"Actually, the study of magic didn't start with Roland. In a sense, he was also brought in by someone else. However, his talent was really good, and it didn't take him long to catch up with the person who brought him in. From then on, the two of them became companions, supporting each other and exploring this path that no one had ever taken before." "That's right, Roland, Roland.
