Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eyes
On June 25, 2012, I stayed in the study of the castle. There was a large collection of books here. The table was filled with paper and quills, which was a bit old. In conjunction with the ray of sunlight shining from outside, it seemed like I was in history. This is probably the charm of the castle, which witnessed the years.
I don’t understand these English books very well, and I’m not in the mood to look up the dictionary, so I picked some with illustrations to read them to see the freshness. When I saw some guys in China reading English versions of books, I felt that they were out of place with them, and I couldn’t say that they were emotional, or because I was a little jealous because I was not good at English.
"Are you reading "The Encyclopedia of Potions"? This is the basic work of potion and the most important work, which introduces various magical drugs." Audrey said in surprise, "Since you are so proficient in English and magic, what else do you want me to do?"
"I just looked at the illustrations, but I couldn't understand anything else." I explained in front of Audrey walking in.
No wonder I rarely see the plants drawn on it. They are all magical drugs, and I thought they were unique to the Western world.
"Oh, that's it." Audrey suddenly said, "I'm here to ask if you have any arrangements today?"
"No arrangements, I said you have free time and can do your own thing," I stressed, "Today is Monday, don't you need to go to the college?"
"But Miss Jessica asked me to stay here." Audrey said in a difficult situation, "Forget it, I'll read books with you. These magic books are difficult to borrow in the library, and I tell you that reading magic books is not like this, I'll demonstrate it to you."
Audrey took out a thick book from the bookcase and put it in front of her, then gently sang something with her wand, and the book would automatically open it. The sentences inside would move, just like there was life. They were randomly combined, and each combination was completely new.
"Look, it's like that." Audrey showed, "Magic books are written by the magicians themselves, using magical ink. When writing, the magician left the magic power on the books through the ink. For example, your "Power Encyclopedia Book" will be a different look as long as the magic power on it is awakened."
Audrey took the book in my hand and did it again the way I just did. The handwriting and illustrations on the pages began to change, showing the whole process of a plant from growth to blossom and finally withering, just like a short film taken with a camera, and it was repeated constantly.
"Magic masters sometimes leave some secrets in books, which depends on whether you can find them. So reading a magic book is an adventure process, which is the magic of magic." Audrey concluded.
"How come there are magic books here?"
"Because there was a magician living here, and Miss Jessica later inherited it from that magician. Everything in the castle was still the same as it was more than a hundred years ago, and there was no change." Audrey sighed.
There is indeed no change. There is no entertainment in the castle, including any electrified equipment, and even mobile phone signals, as if it is isolated from the world.
The next time, Audrey sat opposite me to read the book. The sun shone on her black hair. She was immersed in the mystery of magic and was very devoted to reading. I continued to flip through the book, but even the magic book did not have the function of translating it into Chinese. It would be boring if the freshness passed.
I became interested in Audrey. The descendants of this demon clan and human beings seem to be only ten years old. I don’t know my identity yet, and I don’t feel the demonic aura on her body. I’m afraid that the demonic aura will come out after she wakes up. I don’t know if she will be as confused as me at that time.
Judging from the current situation, whether it is Jessica and Audrey who live in the West, or Li Si and Zhao Gao who live in the East, they all live among ordinary people, so they and the descendants of human beings have the opportunity to transform into monsters and develop special abilities, which may be an evolution.
"What are you looking at?" Audrey asked with his head raised.
"I'm curious about how you turned into a bird yesterday?" I asked.
"That's a transfiguration, which can simulate yourself into an animal form, can fly in the sky or swim in the water, but it doesn't last long, it's a very high-level magic spell." Audrey explained, "I like to be a bird, just like I'm born a bird, and when I become a bird, there's no time limit, and I don't know why."
This is probably related to the demon genes she has, but the transformation technique is really a good thing, it is similar to Sun Wukong's Seventy-Two Transformations.
"Is the transfiguration easy to learn?" I said expectantly.
"How to say, there are two types of metamorphosis: one is to turn oneself into an animal, and the other is to turn others into animals." Audrey explained, "It is easy to turn others into animals. It is a low-level magic, and it is difficult to turn oneself into an animal, and it can only be turned into a designated animal. The weaker the animal has the greater the probability of success. For example, a rabbit or a bird, the stronger the animal is, the smaller the probability of success. For example, a tiger or a black bear, it depends on the strength of each person's magic."
It sounds very complicated. Just as I was thinking about it carefully, there were fluctuating water patterns in front of me, and slowly formed a circular mirror that kept vibrating. When the vibration stopped, two figures appeared in the mirror.
"Miss Anne, the link between Tianyantong has been successful, you can speak." Fanchen reminded, "Remember to say it faster. This is a cross-border call, which costs 1,000 euros per minute."
"You liar, you threw me here without saying anything and ran back to Europe by yourself." The little vampire accused angrily on the mirror.
"Well, aren't you going to stay in China to learn Taoism?" I defended.
"What kind of Taoist skills are learned? I am being chased by someone. They are going to capture me. I finally escaped. Come and take me back, otherwise I will be enemies with the entire blood clan and they will not let you go." Princess Anne threatened.
"Wait, I heard that the Vampire Guard has arrived in Mount Tai. Wouldn't you just go and find them?" I reminded.
"What?" Anne said in surprise, "Where are they?"
"Where are you again?" I asked back.
"We are now deep in Mount Tai, to be precise, we have been lost. We have been attacked from many aspects. It's so unlucky. It's best if you can take her away. This girl's ability to cause trouble is really too strong." Fan Chen said helplessly.
"How did you find me?" I doubted.
"Oh, this is a very simple spell. It can locate the location of an acquaintance, just like using satellite positioning. However, the time is relatively short and sometimes the signal is not good. It is the first time I use it. It looks good, but the picture is not very clear and there is some interference." Fan Chen replied.
"Oh my God, this is a magic mirror!" Audrey exclaimed, "This is a super-level magic that only a great magician can use."
