"I don't want to talk about that."
"Just talk about it. We'll be on the ship for a while anyway."
"That's not something interesting."
"Don't say that. I'm more interested now. Right, Kory?"
"You're just interested. Sorry, human. I don't mean any harm."
Human …
Layel smiled bitterly and shook her head at the elven queen. She then looked at the demon who was propping up his right cheek and looking at her. She was the only human in this room. It was a strange feeling.
"Do you know her? I'm not familiar with her at all. "
She sighed and gave up resisting. She knew that Richard wouldn't give up so easily.
It was an unbearable memory. At least for herself, she didn't want to talk about it. That was why very few people knew that she and Wyatt knew each other. Even the guild didn't know.
It was a secret that she didn't want to reveal.
"When I was 13."
After a moment of silence, Layel suddenly spoke. The Demon King immediately quieted down. Kory also listened at the side even though she wasn't interested.
"I was fortunate enough to study at the Luyas Advanced Magic Academy. She happened to be in that school too …"
Layel looked up at the ceiling.
The average age of the students who enrolled in the Luyas Advanced Magic Academy was 24. It was the best magic academy in the world. The requirements to enter were extremely strict, so the number of students was low and the age was very high.
Those who could enter the academy had already reached a high level of magic that ordinary people couldn't reach. It wasn't like ordinary schools where teachers educated students. This was a place for research and discussion of magic. The Luyas Empire spent a lot of money to build this place. Not only did it have the world's largest and most complete magic library, it also had the most complete magic laboratory. Whether it was alchemy or astrology, as long as it was related to magic, there would be a place for it.
This place didn't nurture talents. It only provided a place for top mages of various factions to gather and interact with each other. They came with all kinds of goals. Some were spies from other empires, some were here to seek answers to magic, and some were here to learn more.
Layel did not specify which type she belonged to. For a genius Magician who had joined the school at the age of thirteen, everything she did attracted a lot of attention, so the Demon King did not think she belonged to the first type.
No matter what the student's purpose was, as long as they could meet the requirements, the academy would accept them. The academy's purpose was very simple. It was to break through the difficult problems of magic and create magic that was beneficial to mankind.
This was a sealed academy. Compared to an ivory tower, this place was more like a prison. Those who entered were not allowed to leave. Once they left, they would lose the right to return forever. There was only one way to leave this place, and that was to complete a task.
Just like a bounty, the academy's highest research institute would issue all sorts of magical research topics. These were all difficult problems in magical research. For example, the water that changed the nature of magical power couldn't be drunk. Magical research needed to break through this barrier and create magic that could make drinking water. Of course, for thousands of years, no one had been able to solve this problem.
These topics were undoubtedly very difficult, even for a thirteen year old genius student.
"I chose the topic of realizing the second level of spatial magic."
Layel suddenly stopped. The Demon King had an incredulous expression. His left eyebrow was above his right eyebrow, as if to say that she was serious.
"If I remember correctly, you were born with a talent for light and air magic, right?"
"You remember correctly, but at that time, I thought spatial magic was the strongest."
She sighed, her eyes a little lonely.
The Demon King rubbed his chin, not knowing what to think. Then he asked, "Then let me guess. You chose the same topic as her, right?"
"Something like that. White Durrisi, she … I didn't know she was a princess at the time. I only knew that she was a student who was one year ahead of me, but she was the same age as me. The school always compared us, so I knew of her existence, but I never met her."
Layel sighed, thinking of the day when they were looking for books in the library. Coincidentally, the two of them were looking for the same book.
When she was young, she already wore a pair of glasses. She always hugged a book to her chest like a suit of armor. As for White, she dressed like a man. No one had ever seen her in a dress. She always wore trousers and rolled up her sleeves like a worker, revealing her arms.
"Hey! This is my book! "
The young White's voice was especially loud. She held the same book as Layel and glared at her angrily.
However, the young Layel was not to be trifled with either.
"Every book here belongs to the great library. Even if you're Kimberlain, you have no right to claim that this book is yours."
Kimberlain was the author of that book. He had also studied in this academy, but he had passed away a hundred years ago.
White looked Layel up and down. Her eyes were full of aggression. Then she narrowed her eyes and said maliciously, "You're that doll, Layel?"
…
At this point, the Demon King interrupted Leila's conversation.
"Doll?"
"Cough, cough. When I was young, my hair was fluffy, so I got that nickname," Layel said, blushing.
Compared to her current image as a strong career woman, it was really hard to imagine.
…
"You're that troublemaker, White, right?"
Layel did not want to be outdone and immediately counterattacked.
"Ha, you still dare to fight with me when you know. Speaking of which, spatial magic is too complicated for a little kid like you. I suggest you choose to study magic that stores sunlight. You're still not letting go! Okay! As your senior, I order you. Horse! Go! Go! Go! "
Facing the shouting White, Layel only had one thought at that time, and that was to never let go.
…
Pfft.
Hearing this, the quiet Elven Queen could not help but laugh. The two looked at her at the same time. Kory covered her mouth and shook her head. "It's okay. Continue, human."
Hearing this, Layel was puzzled. She knew that she was a little childish back then, but she was still a child back then.
Also …
"And then? Did you manage to snatch it? "
The Demon King asked with interest. Layel looked at him and recalled the scene when he and White were arguing. This guy was just like her in the past.
"No, we didn't manage to snatch it. In the end, we fought and were blacklisted by the librarian. We couldn't take the book out anymore. We could only read in the library for an hour …"
…
"Then! I grabbed her hair and pinned her to the ground. Then, I rode on top of her. Just as I was about to declare my victory, that despicable librarian suddenly appeared in front of us. He definitely knew spatial magic. He definitely knew it! Then … "
White was doing this while speaking with great emotion. The old king, who was sitting at the side and listening patiently, could not help but yawn. Beside the king, the eldest prince's face was dark, as if he was not interested in this topic at all.
Meanwhile, the fourth prince, Elijah, sat at the side with his head lowered.
"In short, you and that Layel know each other and have worked together before, right? Little White. "
The king could not help but interrupt White's story.
White was a little unhappy. He put his hands together and frowned. "You can say that, but we're not close."
The king narrowed his eyes and said, "Perhaps this Layel can help us improve our relationship with Karlis …"
