When Nian Bing closed the book, he once again recalled what Cha Ji had said. Ten years to practice cooking, ten years to understand cooking. Yes, this sentence could also be applied to any field. The word 'understand' had enlightened him in the study of magic arrays. Perhaps, an ordinary person's ten years of research would not be as good as his enlightenment.
Long Ling continued to accompany Nian Bing by his side, continuing to cultivate her spiritual power according to the method Nian Bing had taught her. However, the cultivation now was not as focused as it was at the beginning. Long Zhi had given her a very important task, which was to take care of Nian Bing's daily life and satisfy all his needs. Therefore, every once in a while, she would look at Nian Bing.
"Are you done reading?" Long Ling raised her head and looked at Nian Bing who had stood up.
Nian Bing smiled and nodded, saying, "I think, we can go to the third level now. Although I am still unable to apply the knowledge there, I hope to learn something special from it. If I can apply it to magic scrolls, then the scrolls I make will have some special characteristics that other scrolls don't have."
Long Ling heard something from Nian Bing's words, "You mean, you can improve magic scrolls? But the method of making magic scrolls has been passed down for thousands of years, and no one has been able to change it! "
Nian Bing chuckled and said, "That's because our predecessors lacked the will to innovate. I think I should be able to do it. Even though I've just started, I'm sure I'll succeed as long as I'm given some time to research." Through his understanding of magic arrays, he had already understood many things. Application and understanding were two completely different things. Now, even if he did not look at the method of making magic scrolls, he could imagine the accurate drawing and making principles of higher level magic scrolls. This was all thanks to the word 'understand'.
Seeing that Long Ling seemed to have some doubts about him, Nian Bing bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the ground. Yes, a piece of paper with magic symbols drawn on it. He handed the paper to Long Ling and said, "What can you tell from this?"
Long Ling took the paper and saw some simple symbols drawn on it. She frowned and said, "This seems to be a scroll drawing method. However, from the looks of it, this should be a second tier scroll! What's the point? "
Nian Bing smiled faintly. "You're right. This is a scroll, a Basic Magic Scroll. However, there's one thing you're wrong about. This isn't a Tier 2 Magic Scroll, but a Tier 1 one. Don't be surprised. As a Tier 1 Magic Scroll, it appeared to be somewhat complicated. However, there was a reason for its complexity. Watch. " With that, he took the scroll from Long Ling's hand and waved it. Under the stimulation of the light blue ice magic, the white paper disappeared in an instant, and an icicle appeared in the air and suddenly shot towards Long Ling. This kind of Tier 1 Magic Attack naturally wouldn't cause any harm to Long Ling. Long Ling raised her hand and also sent out an icicle to meet the attack. According to common sense, the two icicles should collide and turn into a ball of ice powder. However, how could the things that Nian Bing did be judged by common sense?
The two icicles suddenly collided and ice powder was indeed produced. However, just when Long Ling thought that it was over, an ice blade suddenly shot out from the ball of ice powder. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of her.
Long Ling cried out in alarm. At this time, she already didn't have time to use magic. She could only lower her head and try to dodge. Nian Bing smiled and waved his hand. The ice blade drew an arc and fell into his hand. "How is it? Do you understand? "
Long Ling looked at Nian Bing and gradually woke up from her shock. "This, this is?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "This is the result of my research. That's right. On the surface, it looks like a tier-1 scroll. However, this scroll contains two spells, Icicle and Ice Blade. One is a tier-1 spell, while the other is a tier-2 spell. If you're bewitched by the tier-1 Icicle, you'll definitely be injured by the tier-2 spell that follows. I'm only using this to prove a theory to you. Although the things left behind by our predecessors are precious, if we don't have better innovations, we can only remain at the level of our predecessors. What I'm going to tell you is that I've researched a method to create multiple spells in one scroll. Although it's not mature yet, imagine if I can combine a Tier 5 and a Tier 6 Magic into a single scroll. Then, in a confrontation with a mage, the power it can display can even destroy a Magic Shooter. "
Long Ling stared at Nian Bing with wide eyes. She really couldn't understand what this young man's brain was made of. In more than a thousand years, this was the first time someone had so boldly proposed such an idea. This was the first time this kind of research had appeared. Although Nian Bing was only a Great Mage, his achievements were definitely not inferior to that of a Grand Mage. As long as his research was successful, then the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Guild's position on the continent would definitely improve greatly.
"Nian Bing, how did you do it? You actually succeeded. " Long Ling looked at Nian Bing with a different gaze. After all, no matter what kind of woman she was, she would always be attracted by a man with achievements.
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "Actually, this is nothing. Let's go, we should go to the third floor. After I've perfected this research, I'll teach you some methods of making Fusion Scrolls. Unfortunately, this kind of scroll is very difficult to make. It's even more difficult than ordinary scrolls. Even for me, I've only succeeded in making the one you saw just now. The higher the level, the greater the amount of spiritual force and magic power needed to support it. However, I still feel that there should be some mysteries behind it. Right now, I'm just forcing two Magic Scrolls into a single scroll. If I can combine them organically, then the effect will definitely be completely different. You can put away the scrolls on the ground and give them to your father. These days, I've only made ten Tier 5 Scrolls and four Tier 6 Scrolls. On the third floor, I think I still need to do some more research on Magic Arrays. Only when I have a better method, then I'll continue to make Fusion Scrolls. "As he said this, he walked towards the third floor of the library.
Nian Bing naturally wouldn't say all the thoughts in his heart. In fact, he could already make Fusion Scrolls of higher level. He used Blank Paper to try out all kinds of Fusion Scrolls. Although the power of the Magic was different, the principle was the same. As long as he could succeed in Low Level Magic, then High Level Magic would definitely succeed.
Nian Bing's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Long Ling sat down on the ground in disappointment. Looking at the bookshelves in front of her, she muttered to herself, "Why? Why can he see living things from these dead books, and why can't I? What Magic Genius, in front of him, I'm just a child. " She faintly felt that in the near future, Nian Bing would inevitably cause a great shock in the Magic World. At that time, he would be an immortal existence in the Magic World, and she would be the first person to witness the emergence of this existence.
Nian Bing's research was extremely difficult. Since he entered the library again, he hadn't left for nearly a month. When he was tired, he would use meditation to rest. Once his spirit recovered, he would immediately continue his research and study. The amount of Magic Knowledge collected on the third floor was much more than he imagined. Nian Bing first memorized all the incantations in his mind, then he began to study Magic Arrays. The production of Magic Scrolls was secondary. After all, Magic Scrolls were external objects. No matter how many Magic Scrolls he made, there would be a day when they would be used up. It was far from being comparable to his own strength. Magic Scrolls, in fact, were only used by those weak people. The real strong people didn't care about them. The reason why he was so diligent in his research was because Magic Arrays might be the key to unlocking the mystery of the same origin of ice and fire! The mystery of the same origin of ice and fire was Nian Bing's greatest interest.
The research continued. Nian Bing didn't know that in order to support his research, Long Zhi had ordered the entire library to be sealed. Other than Ling 'er, who could bring him food and take care of his daily life, no one else was allowed to enter. This order was issued after Long Zhi learned that Nian Bing had researched Magic Fusion. At the same time, he also made up his mind to keep Nian Bing in the Magic Union at all costs. It wasn't to keep him in the Magic Union, but to keep his heart. Only by keeping his heart would the Magic Union of the Ice Moon Empire become stronger.
The third floor of the library was obviously different from the first and second floors. The first and second floors had dozens of large bookshelves, but the third floor only had four. Each bookshelf had no more than a hundred books, and most of the books were already very old. Magic Incantations of various elements, from the sixth grade large-scale magic to the ninth grade single-target magic, were available. Although he couldn't use them now, he still carefully memorized them.
"Nian Bing." Long Ling's voice sounded, waking Nian Bing up from his research. Even he didn't know how many days it had been on the third floor of the library.
"Ling 'er, what's the matter? You seem to have come less these days. "Nian Bing put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.
Long Ling smiled and said, "It's not that I've come less often. It's just that you've been too focused and haven't paid attention to me."
Nian Bing smiled a bit awkwardly, "Perhaps. Ever since I entered the library, I've indeed paid less attention to other matters. Ling 'er, are you looking for me for something? "He knew that if it wasn't something special, Long Ling wouldn't have interrupted him.
Long Ling smiled and said, "Of course there's something. Someone came to the Magic Union to look for you. Do you want to see him? "
Nian Bing was stunned, "Looking for me? Who is it? "Could it be Xuejing or Feng Nu? It couldn't be that guy Yan Feng, right?
Long Ling saw Nian Bing's strange expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not Yan Feng. Although he came later, he was sent away by father with the reason that you were in closed door meditation. After that, he didn't come again. So it turns out that a man being beautiful is also a kind of trouble, hehe. "
Nian Bing said unhappily, "Don't use the word beautiful to describe me. Of course, if you want to use handsome, elegant, and so on, I won't object. "
Long Ling and Nianbing stuck out their tongues, "You wish. It's Rou 'er who came to look for you. I don't know what she wants. "
Luo Rou? It was only then that Nian Bing remembered the intelligent beauty. He seemed to have made a bet with her. It seemed like he had been in the library for a month. "Since it's the beautiful and intelligent girl who came to visit, how could I not see her?" Nian Bing didn't think that he had left any clues. The intelligent girl shouldn't have discovered his true identity.
Long Ling glared at Nian Bing, her eyes seemed to have some hidden bitterness, "Rou 'er is already engaged. You don't have a chance."
Nian Bing laughed and said, "Quickly invite her in. Don't worry, how could a small person like me have any improper thoughts?"
Are you really a small person? A trace of doubt arose in the Dragon Spirit's heart, but it didn't say anything. It turned around and left. After a while, when the sound of footsteps sounded again, Luo Rou, who was wearing a plain white dress, had already followed the Dragon Spirit over. Her white clothes set off her long blue hair, as well as her eyes filled with wisdom. Looking at her, it made people feel a trace of purity from the bottom of their hearts. Compared to the other day's dress, the current Luo Rou had a different kind of elegant beauty.
When Luo Rou saw Nian Bing, she couldn't help but be stunned. She turned to Long Ling and asked, "Ling 'er, is he Nian Bing?"
Long Ling smiled and said, "Isn't that him? We haven't seen each other for a month and you don't recognize him? "
Nian Bing subconsciously looked at himself, and realized that his magic robe was already full of wrinkles. He also smelled bad. He touched his face and realized that his beard had grown a lot. It was no wonder that Luo Rou couldn't recognize him. Once he started learning magic, he really forgot everything. He said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Miss Luo Rou. I've made a fool of myself. Do I look very dispirited like this?"
Luo Rou covered her mouth and laughed, "A little, and a little haggard. It seems that you've been working very hard recently!"
Long Ling said, "It's not that he's working very hard, it's that he's working too hard. I don't understand why he's working so hard. If this continues, I'm afraid his body will collapse. But he doesn't listen to anyone. It's as if those magic books are his wife. "
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be so sarcastic. I'll go clean up now. Is that not enough?"
Luo Rou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you clean up. You should still remember our agreement."
Nian Bing frowned and said, "You really found something?"
Luo Rou said proudly, "Of course. Even if I didn't find anything, Wise Girl is someone who keeps her promise. Let's talk alone. Ling 'er, I'm sorry, but I have to talk to him alone. "
If it was Xuejing, she might really ask about it. However, Long Ling was different. Her gentle nature made her nod and said, "Then let's not talk here. Nian Bing, let's go to your dorm. You really should clean yourself up. Oh, that's right. Father originally wanted to change your room to the Elder's, but you've been here all this time, so I didn't change it. Let's talk about it after you finish your research in the library. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. These are all external matters. Miss Luo Rou, this way please."
Nian Bing brought Luo Rou out of the library for the first time in a month. Long Ling didn't follow. She only said a few words and left.
Although she hadn't been back to the dorm for a while, it was still so refreshing. Nian Bing subconsciously looked at the magic imprint she left behind. The things she hid were untouched. She invited Luo Rou into the room and said, "Take a seat first. I'll go clean up."
What did it feel like to not bathe for a month? Nian Bing finally experienced it. This cleaning process took a full two hours. When his whole body was refreshed, he secretly swore that he would never embarrass himself like this again. No one would be happy to be embarrassed in front of beauties.
Nian Bing skillfully shaved off the beard on his face with the Morning Dew Dagger. He changed into his original coarse cloth clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
After waiting for two hours, Luo Rou did not show any signs of impatience. When she saw Nian Bing, she could not help but reveal a sliver of surprise in her eyes. Although Nian Bing was wearing ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth, he still looked as handsome as ever. His face was a little pale, clearly due to the exhaustion he had been through recently. His body gave off the fragrance of a bath, and his golden hair was combed behind his head. Compared to before, he looked like a completely different person. Although Nian Bing did not practice martial skills, his slender figure, broad shoulders, and broad back combined with his extraordinarily handsome face gave him quite a bit of lethality. Even Luo Rou, who had always been confident in her determination, could not help but tremble slightly.
Nian Bing walked to the sofa beside Luo Rou and sat down. He let out a long breath and said, "So comfortable! Miss Luo Rou, you can say what you want now. If you're here to admit defeat, then can I ask you for one thing? "
Although Luo Rou slightly lost her composure, she quickly recovered. She smiled and said, "No, I'm here to collect the fruits of victory that I deserve."
Nian Bing leaned on the armrest of the sofa and looked at Luo Rou calmly. He made a gesture of invitation and said, "I'd like to hear what our wise woman has found."
Luo Rou smiled confidently. She stood up and walked to the center of the room. She stopped and turned her back to Nian Bing said, "Is the Demon Killer good enough?"
Hearing the words Demon Killer, Nian Bing almost jumped up from the sofa. His heart beat rapidly. Although he had always thought highly of Luo Rou, he didn't expect that she could find out about this. After a few seconds of silence, he tried to calm down. "Why?"
Luo Rou turned around and looked at Nian Bing with a smile. Her eyes were shining with wisdom. "There are many reasons. I have to admit that you're the strongest opponent I've ever met. You can still keep calm in this situation, which proves that you're not a simple person. I didn't expect you to be an assassin. But when I learned that you were often not in the woodshed at night, I became suspicious. After a bold guess and careful analysis, I'm almost certain that you're the Demon Killer who killed Liao San. "
At this moment, Nian Bing calmed down because he realized that even if Luo Rou had guessed everything, the fact that she had come to find him alone meant that she hadn't spread the news. This was enough. At least he still had some leeway. "Please continue."
Luo Rou smiled and said, "First of all, I asked Jing Jing, and she told me in detail how she met you. The reason you met was because of Liao San, right? Moreover, Liao San once severely humiliated you. That's the source of your hatred. "
Nian Bing smiled. "Liao San was known as a mangy dog. There are many people who have a grudge against him, and even more people who hate him more than I do. Just based on this, you can say that I am the Demon Killer Envoy? That's a little too arbitrary. "
Luo Rou smiled. "Of course it's not just that. I'm afraid you don't have any alibi on the night of Liao San's death. I've asked Jing Jing and Ling 'er. At that time, you didn't appear anywhere in the Cool Breeze Study or the Magicians Guild. To be more precise, you must have attacked Liao San after leaving the Magus Guild and before returning to Breeze Cottage. Furthermore, according to my investigation, the real cause of Liao San's death was ice magic. When the Ice Goddess Priestess investigated all the ice magi in the Magus Guild, they all said that they were somewhere else at the time. I heard from Ling 'er that your control over magic is extremely strong, and you have the strength of a great ice magus. Only you can kill Liao San. Combining these points and my intuition, I'm very certain that you're the Demon Killer who killed Liao San. Of course, you might have a companion who specializes in fire magic, but I can't find out who he is. "
Nian Bing smiled. "A wise woman isn't a god. Don't you think your reasons are far-fetched? It's more of your subjective opinion than anything else. You can't prove that I'm the Demon Killer with just these reasons. Otherwise, President Long would have found out as well. He would have come to settle the score with me already. "
Luo Rou looked at the stubborn Nian Bing and couldn't help but reveal a trace of hesitation in her eyes. "That's right. These are just my guesses. I don't have any witnesses or evidence. However, my intuition tells me that the person is you."
Nian Bing smiled. "I have to admit that Miss Luo Rou is very smart. However, you've already lost our bet."
Luo Rou frowned. "Don't tell me you don't want to admit that you're the Demon Killer? Don't worry, Liao San isn't a good person. Even if you admit that you're the Demon Killer, I won't do anything to you. I won't tell anyone about this. "
Nian Bing shook her head. "I've never worried about this. First of all, I trust Miss Wise Woman. Secondly, even if you tell anyone, no one will believe you. Even if President Long Zhi knows that you're telling the truth, he'll still exonerate me. Before you came to find me, Ling 'er should have told you how important I am to the Union. To be honest, although your guesses lack evidence, they're correct. Yes, I'm the Demon Killer who killed Liao San. I never leave any traces behind. Although you've guessed it, there's no way you can prove it. "
Luo Rou smiled. Her charming face shone with a dazzling radiance. "Good! It's really you. Now that you've admitted it, shouldn't we consider how you're going to fulfill your end of the bet? "
Nian Bing also smiled. "No, of course not. I've said it before. Although you've guessed it, you've still lost the bet. "
Luo Rou's expression changed. "What do you mean? Just because I don't have any evidence, you're saying that I've lost? Our bet was to guess your profession. I've already guessed it. As a man, you won't go back on your word, will you? "
Nian Bing laughed. "What a joke. Even if I'm not a good person, I won't go back on my word. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. I understand the principle of accepting a loss. The reason why I said you've lost is because you've guessed my profession wrong. Being an assassin isn't my true profession. It's just that I didn't like that Liao San. Of course, I'm not a magician either. "
Luo Rou was completely stunned. From Nian Bing's eyes, she could see that Nian Bing wasn't lying. His huge confidence couldn't be faked. "No, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. If you weren't a professional magician or assassin, how could you have your current achievements? You're the youngest Great Magician! "
Nian Bing's eyes shone with a terrifying radiance. He said indifferently, "It's time to settle some things. Miss Luo Rou, I'll use my actions to tell you what my true profession is. Please come with me. "Saying that, he turned around and wanted to walk towards the door.
Just as he walked to the door, there was a knock. Nian Bing opened the door and saw Long Ling holding a brand new ice magician's robe. When she saw Nian Bing, she couldn't help but smile. "How did your talk go? This is for you. Change into it. "
Nian Bing took the robe. Looking at Long Ling's gentle eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble. If he could marry such a wife, he would be lucky. The thought came quickly, but disappeared even faster. After a slight hesitation, he immediately returned to normal. "We've finished talking. We're about to go out. Ling 'er, you come with us."
The dragon spirit smiled faintly and said, "Me? Won't it affect you? "
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "Of course not. We're all friends. Wait a moment, I'll go change."
After a while, when Nian Bing came out of the bathroom, he had turned back into a Great Ice Magician. Long Ling looked at him who had regained his handsome appearance. She couldn't help but give a kind smile. Luo Rou on the side lowered her head and didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking about something. "Two beautiful ladies, we can set off."
Long Ling curiously asked, "Where are we going?"
Nian Bing mysteriously smiled and said, "We're going to a place you're familiar with. Ling 'er, don't you want to know what I do?"
Long Ling stared blankly for a moment. "You? Aren't you a magician? Don't tell me you have a side job? "
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "No, you're wrong. Being a magician is my side job. Let's go, Miss Ling 'er, Miss Rou' er."
When Luo Rou heard Nian Bing call her Rou 'er for the first time, she couldn't help but feel strange. She raised her head and looked at him. "Okay, I want to see how you're going to prove it. Let's go. "
After leaving the Magician Guild, Luo Rou asked, "Is the place we're going to far? How do you plan on bringing us there? "
Nian Bing stared blankly for a moment and said, "It's not near. It's in the center of the city."
Luo Rou stared at him with wide eyes and said, "You can't be thinking of having us walk with you right? Hey, we're ladies. We really have to hand it to you. " As she said that, she walked to the side of the street and waved her hand. Nian Bing looked in the direction she waved her hand and saw a luxurious carriage quickly approaching. Four tall white horses reminded him of the past. That's right, a dignified countess should have a carriage. This is good, they don't have to walk.
Luo Rou turned around and said, "Get on the carriage. I really don't understand what kind of person you are."
Hearing her strange words, Nian Bing only smiled slightly. The three of them got on the carriage together.
The carriage emitted a faint fragrance. The cushions were very soft and very comfortable to sit on. Nianbing asked Luo Rou, "Where are we going? You should at least give the coachman an accurate address."
Smiling slightly, Nian Bing said, "Let's go to the center of the city first. You'll know when we get there."
The carriage moved forward quickly. The carriage with the noble insignia of the Count's Residence sped through the city. The passersby avoided it when they saw it. There was almost no delay. In less than an hour, they had brought Nian Bing and the other two to the most prosperous area in the center of Snow City.
Along the way, Nian Bing didn't say a word. He just sat there with his eyes closed. Long Ling was surprised to find that he was actually meditating. Her heart ached for no reason. These days, he was really too tired.
"Hey, wake up." Luo Rou pushed Nian Bing, who had his eyes closed, with some dissatisfaction.
Nian Bing opened his eyes and lifted the curtain to look outside. He said, "Okay, let's stop here. Ladies, we should get off the carriage."
No matter how smart Luo Rou was, she couldn't figure out what Nian Bing was planning. She frowned and followed Nian Bing out of the carriage with Long Ling. They looked around. This was the central street of Ice Snow City.
Nian Bing pointed to one of the most conspicuous signs on the side of the road and said, "Let's go. This is our destination."
Long Ling and Luo Rou couldn't be more familiar with that sign. It was one of the most famous restaurants in Ice Snow City, Qing Feng Zhai.
Luo Rou looked at Nian Bing said with an unkind expression, "Don't tell me that your real profession is chopping wood. If that's the case, I don't think I need to go in. I feel ashamed to be with a person who doesn't abide by her bet. "
Nian Bing looked at Luo Rou's eyes and didn't give in. The two of them had the same blue eyes, and each of them revealed a confident radiance. They looked at each other. Luo Rou's spiritual power naturally couldn't be compared to Nian Bing's, who had always been practicing magic. Soon, she lost. "Hey, what's going on? Tell me!"
