When the first ray of the morning sun shone on the Liege Library, the two tall red bronze doors were pushed open. Accompanied by a burst of book fragrance, the guards walked out of the door.
The library was close to the academy, and the early risers were already waiting at the entrance. They walked in as soon as the doors were opened.
When all the students had entered, an exquisite mahogany carriage appeared in front of the library.
However, even though the carriage had stopped, the people inside had not alighted from the carriage.
The fat guard at the door walked over and pulled the curtain aside. He had a fawning expression on his face. "Master Frey, you're early today. She's not here yet."
The young man in the mink cloak was shivering as he touched the hand warmer in his hand. "Why are you pulling the curtain? Put it down. Do you want me to freeze to death?"
The fat guard put down the curtain. Master Frey mumbled, "Give me the signal when she's here."
The fat guard rolled his eyes in his heart. "Got it."
When he returned to his post, he joked with the thin guard at the door. "I told you to suck up to her. See? I told you, these nouveau riche are like dogs looking for food in front of the nobles. When they see us, they order us around. The losses they suffered at the hands of the bigwigs will surely be vented on us. "
The fat guard was annoyed. "Frey didn't take it out on us. He's just crazy."
The thin guard added, "And blind!"
"Yes, yes, yes! He likes a fat middle-aged woman and waits here every day … But it's strange. That fat woman is much worse than Frey. She doesn't like Frey. Does she think she's a saint? "
The thin guard said, "Hey, whose side are you on? Why are you talking about women all of a sudden? "
The fat guard said, "None of us. Since Frey doesn't know what to do, let's just enjoy the show. I'm tired of the handsome men and beautiful women in the theater. Let's eat something else to appease my appetite. "
The skinny guard pondered for a moment and recalled the woman who came to the library every day. "Speaking of which, she doesn't seem to be as bad as you described. Although she's a little old, she still has a certain charm to her. Moreover, she's not fat, just plump. She must have been a beauty when she was young. "
"Beauties can only be kept fresh for a few years. After that, they'll be like moldy cheese. It's a pity to throw them away. You'll have to pinch your nose if you want to eat them."
Just as the fat guard was speaking, the thin guard suddenly tugged at his collar. "Stop, the main character is here."
The fat guard looked over. Under the bright sunlight, a slightly plump woman wearing a uniform inlaid with fur walked towards the library.
"She's here. Aren't you going to inform Master Frey?"
"Come on, who cares about him?" The fat guard turned around and walked back to the rest pavilion behind him.
"If you don't want to report, then don't report. Why are you leaving? In the end, you still chickened out. " The skinny guard smiled. "Alright, you can rest in the back. If Fu Lai asks why you didn't inform him, I'll tell him that the chief guard called you out."
"Thanks, bro!"
When Helen walked past the library, she saw the fat and thin guards greeting each other. She had no idea what they were doing. Helen didn't continue watching. Instead, she walked into the library.
On the third floor, Helen found a book she hadn't finished yesterday: The Magical Shaman Tribe.
She then picked up a few more books, such as Ferran's Mythologies and The True World. She was going to find a quiet place to read them.
However, Helen had only taken a few steps when she suddenly saw a book fall from the bookshelf, coincidentally landing at her feet.
She squatted down to pick it up and put it back. However, when she picked it up and saw the title, she was stunned.
The Wizard's Call.
"Huh? There's a book about wizards here?" She flipped through a few pages and found some basic knowledge about the wizarding world. She had met supernatural beings on the ship all year round, so she knew most of the things recorded in the book were true.
Helen was overjoyed. She came to the library to read books in order to see the descriptions of the Extraordinary World. Although she had taken a few books, most of what she saw here was actually fabricated. It was rare to find a book about the wizarding world. How could she refuse?
Helen picked up The Wizard's Call and walked towards the reading area. She didn't even think about why the book had suddenly fallen from the bookshelf.
When Helen found a secluded corner to read quietly, a purple-haired woman walked out from behind the bookshelf where the book had fallen.
With a faint smile on her face, she looked at Helen who was reading in the distance, and her eyes flashed with joy.
Helen was soon immersed in the book. The content about the wizarding world was too real. From the wizarding organizations to the wizarding world, the three major structures … everything was recorded. Even if there were some parts that she didn't understand, she could always see a few lines of graceful handwriting under the book, explaining the profound principles in simple and straightforward language.
"So, knowledge is the most important thing for a wizard?" Helen nodded. She used to think that spells were the most important thing.
"Is alchemy really that hard? There's not even one alchemist in a thousand talents. "Helen thought to herself. But Mister Padt seemed to be very good at alchemy.
Just as Helen was engrossed in watching, a sudden movement came from her side, directly interrupting her thoughts.
She looked over angrily. It was rare for her to immerse herself in the book, and she was annoyed that someone had interrupted her. She purposely picked a quiet corner to read the book.
However, she frowned when she saw the young man in a large cloak. "You again?"
Fu Lai was cursing the fat guard for not keeping his word in his mind, but he put on a fawning expression. "Helen, we must be fated to meet you here again."
"Are you sure it's a coincidence?" Helen rolled her eyes and stood up. She picked up the book and wanted to go somewhere else to read. She had been annoyed by this young master Frey for the past few days. If his father wasn't one of the most important suppliers for The Limpet, she would have beaten him up.
As soon as Helen left, Fulai immediately caught up to her, muttering, "What a rare opportunity. We can sit down and read together, and enjoy the pleasure of reading. We can even go for a drink when we're done. By the way, the Bounty Tavern has a new kind of sea beast card that simulates a battle between sea beasts. You'll be interested. We can talk about all kinds of battle techniques over drinks. "
Helen sighed, "Master Frey, when are you going to stop bothering me? I already told you that I'm not interested in you. You're one generation younger than me. I'm old enough to be your mother. "
Fu Lai was stunned. "So, you like my father?" he murmured after a long pause.
What kind of bizarre train of thought was this?!
Helen clenched her fists. "I don't like you, and I don't like your father either. I prefer to live alone, and I want to live alone in the future! "
Helen said fiercely.
Fu Lai pouted and continued to follow Helen without a care in the world. Helen was furious, but she still couldn't vent her anger.
Suddenly, Frey felt like a wall had appeared in front of him. Before he could react, he bumped into it and fell to the ground.
"Didn't you hear that she doesn't like you?" A melodious voice entered Frey's ears.
Frey looked up and saw a woman standing in front of him. Helen was behind her, so he couldn't see her expression.
As for the woman in front of him, because her back was against the light, he could only see a circle of shiny hair and a few strands of long purple curly hair that shone against the light.
"Who are you?" Frey was confused.
The purple-haired woman didn't answer. She just stared at Frey. Frey felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. He felt like he was in a world of ice and snow.
When the strange feeling disappeared, Frey realized that there was no one around. Helen was nowhere to be seen, and so was the purple-haired woman.
"Don't tell me I ran into a ghost?" Fu Lai shuddered as he recalled the extreme cold he felt earlier. He shuddered as he ran out of the library.
On the third floor of the library, on a secluded balcony.
Helen was pleasantly surprised to see the purple-haired woman standing in front of her. "Lady Swan, why are you here?"
"You don't have to be so formal with me. You can just call me Swan. " Swan smiled flirtatiously and lifted Helen's chin. "I'm here because I saw you."
Helen blushed and stepped back. "I mean, why are you here in Yothur, Lady Swan? I'm not talking about the library …"
Swan brushed her purple hair behind her ear. "I'm here to help Summerdew. I didn't expect to see you here."
Helen expressed her surprise as well. Helen suddenly remembered her wish to enter the supernatural realm. She had planned to wait until she had the chance to go to Summerdew Ridge before telling Swan about it. She didn't expect the chance to come now.
Swan smiled. "Looks like the book I prepared for you didn't go to waste."
Swan pointed at The Wizard's Call in Helen's hand.
It was only then that Helen realized that the book had fallen in front of her because of Swan.
"I told you that I can help you become a talent. That's what I'm saying now." Swan nodded. "Since you've decided to enter the wizarding world, you should follow me for now. I'll get you a potion to increase your spiritual power when we get back to Summerdew Ridge."
Helen's eyes flashed with joy. She was still doubting whether she could become a wizard. Now that Swan had confirmed it, she was relieved.
"Alright. But I need to say goodbye to the captain and the crew first."
"I'll give you time to say goodbye. I still have some time on Ferran. At least, I won't be leaving this place for a month. "
Helen suddenly asked, "Lady Swan, what are you doing here on Ferran? Are you going to recruit talents as well? "
Swan shook her head. "I saw what happened in the mayor's mansion yesterday morning. Summerdew Ridge doesn't recruit outsiders, especially men."
"Speaking of which, there's one more thing I need to ask you about." Swan suddenly said, "Actually, there's one more thing I want to ask you."
"That apprentice who recruited people in the mayor's mansion is the guardian of The Limpet, right? Why haven't I seen him before? What kind of person is he? "
