Chapter 1174 Exploring the Unknown
Throughout the ages, in the advanced field of occultism, 'auxiliary spirits' have never been a rare existence. In fact, they have a wide range of uses, diverse functions, conscientiousness, and are extremely cost-effective. So it always lasts.
Students under the guidance of Ana Ta Rasha, the all-powerful wizard, and Diana A. Azizolti, the great astrologer, both of whom are powerful, rich, and lonely (Diana is now As a lady with many outstanding qualities, it is impossible for Futaba not to know what a guardian spirit is. In fact, she has seen many auxiliary spirits in the game for more than half a year.
The simplest example is that there are tower spirits in most independent mage towers, and these 'tower spirits' are a type of auxiliary spirits.
When Futaba was studying with Ana, he often saw the tower named [True Red Clausser V. Shutalian Schwarzer] in the latter’s mage tower. spirit.
He was a handsome man with long, silky hair, wearing a colorful dress (the color would change depending on the weather and day), handsome and feminine, extremely gentlemanly, and with a deep and magnetic voice.
Although Ana's theoretical strength is not very strong, the tower spirit that cost her a lot of effort and whose name is...well, Xiu Talian for short is quite 'advanced'.
First of all, that tower spirit is quite handsome, and to make an artificial life constructed entirely of elements so ridiculously handsome, the amount of work required is absolutely very, very, very outrageous. You have to know that most towers The shapes of spirits are arcane eyes, crystal balls, flames, and whirlwinds. For more advanced things, there are cats, dogs, or faceless men (the models are too difficult to make, and there is nothing underneath the cloak). As for humanoid creatures...especially Shutalian, who goes out to be a cowherd and earns at least thousands of gold coins a day. The beautiful man is not so much incredible as unreasonable.
Secondly, this tower spirit named Shutalian is very smart. Although it is an artificial creature without a soul, after Ana tried her best and spent all her money, the former’s intelligence even improved. A little higher than ordinary people, of course, it is just pure intelligence, there is no soul or personality.
Third, Shutalion is very strong.
How strong is it specifically...
To put it simply, it is the epic peak of the four schools of light, darkness, space and arcana.
You must know that the master and creator of Shutalion, Ana Ta Rasha's paper strength is only high-level.
A mage with only high-level strength creates a tower spirit with four schools of thought and an epic level. It is simply a fantasy in the eyes of ordinary people, even if this tower spirit can only be found in The activities in the mage tower are also a fantasy.
Danta Rasha did it, and he did it easily.
In her words, she spent much more effort on the appearance and character of Shutalian than on his strength.
It was from that day that Futaba truly understood how terrifying his mentor was.
Loneliness and widowhood make people strong. This seemingly outrageous statement is definitely not groundless.
As the saying goes, 'Without a woman in the heart, the god of nature draws his sword', and female magicians like Ana Ta Rasha who have always wanted a man, but just don't have a man (literally) are obviously in In terms of realm, it is even better.
Especially after Futaba herself got stuck in the epic level, she discovered more and more that Ana, as a high-level mage, could become best friends with a 'big shot' like Diana, and in Salamu It is no accident that En Mage Guild firmly holds the position of vice-president, and "Ana is better than me" that Diana often talks about is not a sentimental compliment, but a true statement.
Futaba had enough reason to believe that as long as her mentor, the widowed king, was willing, she could step into the epic realm at any time as naturally as breathing.
But God knows why, until today, that person has always been stuck in the feeling that he was pretty cool when he first entered the pit. Now it seems that it is just that, even a high-level a la carte.
Well, let’s get down to business.
In short, after meeting Shutalian, who is not only handsome, gentle, and personable, but also has many DIY personalities including but not limited to tsundere, scheming, sister control, warm boy, etc., I After being regarded as the weirdest among weirdos in the industry, Futaba thinks that his understanding of things like 'auxiliary spirits' is quite good.
In addition, Futaba also works with Diana’s auxiliary spirit ‘Little Star’ and Kenneth’s auxiliary spirit ‘Trim’.
The former can be said to be Diana's assistant in the field of astrology. Although he has solid basic knowledge and reliable work, he is a particularly cute crystal ball; A high-quality maid who looks similar to Kenneth's fiancée. She is a capable person with a serious sinister streak, a serious tendency to tremble, strong overall ability, and a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.
To sum up, Futaba’s understanding of the existence of auxiliary spirits is quite good.
On the other side, Mo Tan has a good understanding of this aspect. The reason is very simple. Although he doesn’t know any of the auxiliary spirits that Futaba has seen, contacted, talked with and even flirted with just now. , but whether it was Shutalion, Little Star or Trim, Diana had given detailed knowledge about the relevant aspects to her lovers who expressed great joy at the time, so his understanding of those people was actually no better than the two. Ye Cha.
In addition, Mo Tan also had the honor to meet an auxiliary spirit who was older than Diana, Kenneth, and Tal Rasha combined -
That was what he was doing The tower spirit 'Dorami' who had dealt with the [Chrono Tower] at the end of the Dragon Clan when she was 'Mo'.
In other words, this dirty-hearted duo of 'really understanding' + 'pretending to be confused' immediately realized that the self-proclaimed 'book spirit' in front of them was not telling the truth.
The difference is that Futaba just slapped the table and asked, while Frank Hughes sat on the chair with a calm face, willingly becoming part of the background board.
By the way, the other part of the background board is a piece of gray mist, and the wooden door that looks awkward in the mist, which is the entrance when the two came.
Shu Ling was silent for a long time, and after a full two minutes, he continued to ask Futaba in his flat tone: "How do you say this?"
"How do you say it?"< br>
Futaba rolled his eyes and laughed dryly: "Do you think we are fools? This place is one of the largest libraries in the entire continent. There are as many people as hungry for knowledge, even if you leave aside only people like me. The only people who have the opportunity to come here to read at this time are the largest group in this city, that is, the students... Their thirst for knowledge when cramming before a large exam or test must not be the same. Even worse than us."
"But before today, I had hardly heard of any legend about the 'Book Spirit'."
Mo Tan also added at this time. He said with a harmless smile: "I have heard no less than twenty versions of Academy City He gave Mo Tan an approving look, then looked at Shu Ling again, and chuckled: "So, if the facts are like what you just said, as long as the desire for knowledge is strong enough, it can get you high, and then It’s a bond and a resonance, and your name as Shuling has long been spread throughout Academy City.”
“But in fact...”
Mo Tan smiled slightly and said softly: "Even if someone really knows about your existence, Mr. Shu Ling, the number is probably quite small, so -"
Futaba blinked lazily: "Can you be There must be some other reasons why you invited me to this place, right?”
“That’s right.”
Seeing the two of them singing and analyzing each other, Shu Ling stopped hiding. Tucked in, he said calmly: "Although I have not hidden my existence too deliberately, the number of people who know about it is indeed not many."
Futaba nodded with interest and smiled. : "Can you tell us the reason?"
"The reason, actually, I have said it before."
Ta Ling looked at the girl in front of him and said bluntly: "My personality is based on people's desire and appeal for knowledge. In other words, the meaning of my existence is the pursuit of knowledge, and the 'knowledge' here must meet the condition of 'unknown'."
Futaba was stunned for a moment.
Frank narrowed his eyes slightly.
“So…”
Shu Ling raised the corner of his mouth and smiled for the first time in front of the two of them: "The half of the sentence I didn't say just now is, 'Even if the other person's thirst for knowledge resonates with me, if he doesn't have what I'm longing for' , unknown knowledge, I will not issue an [invitation]'."
Frank Hughes's expression became more subtle.
Futaba, on the other hand, regained her previous careless look, stared at the book spirit in front of her with burning eyes, and asked word by word: "Do you know?"
"I know." Shuling answered seriously (even though it had always been serious).
"What do you know?"
Mo Tan scratched his hair in confusion.
"..."
The double-leaf willow frowned slightly, with an uncertain expression.
Obviously, Shuling has discovered the secret that she is not a local, and Futaba actually doesn't want the man next to her named Frank Hughes to know about this.
So it was rare that she got entangled.
"Mr. Shu Ling."
"Yes."
"Can you kill this man without him noticing? Anyway, he will do it to you. It’s useless to say it.”
“It doesn’t work.”
"Bang..."
After the failure of the murder plan and Frank breaking into a cold sweat, Futaba continued to be entangled.
However, this entanglement did not last long, because——
“Well, actually I also know...well, probably.”
Mo Tan was a little embarrassed He scratched his cheek and nodded to Futaba, whose expression became increasingly gloomy.
"You know too?!"
Futaba was shocked at that time and said in astonishment: "How do you know, how can you know, could you..."
"That's right. "
Mo Tan nodded, and shrugged a second before Futaba showed his murderous intent: "I heard it from Diana, uh, of course, she didn't intentionally expose it. It’s just that... maybe it’s because she likes you very much, so she often mentions things about you.”
Futaba froze in place as if struck by lightning.
She desperately discovered that with Diana's character, the possibility of accidentally exposing her identity as an alien was simply not too high, not to mention that Frank Hughes was a really smart man.
“And after we got to know each other, Futaba, you often say things that I don’t understand.”
Mo Tan spread his hands and said helplessly: “In addition, Mr. Shu Ling just said If I guess correctly... Miss Futaba, you are probably not from our world."
"Don't treat me like a summoned creature from another dimension."
Shuangye glared at Mo Tan with a serious face, gritted his teeth and said: "Although this girl is indeed an 'otherworlder' to you, we are creatures of a higher dimension, and there is no way for us to exist like you. It’s just the difference between cloud and mud, I am a cloud!”
Mo Tan nodded obediently: "Well, I am Mu."
"Okay, now that it's all said and done."
Futaba was very unhappy. He ruffled his hair and turned his head fiercely to look at Shu Ling, who had been silent since just now: "Tell me, Fatty, what is the purpose of calling us two aliens here?"
The latter shook his head and corrected: "If it is the concept of 'alien', only Ms. Futaba meets the requirements. As for Mr. Frank, I am just worried that he alone will Encountering danger in the forbidden book area"
"Hmph."
The girl snorted softly and her eyes softened slightly: "So, what is the purpose of coming to me?"
"I just want to make contact and chat."
Shuling shook his head again, indicating that he had no special purpose, and then added: "However, if Miss Futaba can tell me something that is 'unknown' to me, then I can give you some A small reward in exchange."
Then, the system prompt sounded in Futaba's ears as expected.
Without even opening the task panel, Futaba immediately stood up holding the table: "For example?"
"For example, I would like to recommend some books that may be helpful to you but are easily overlooked."
"Okay, then what is the approximate level of your current knowledge reserve?"
< br>"Library."
"Yeah."
Futaba frowned and asked, "How do you say it?"
The book spirit calmly gave a desperate answer: "I know the contents of all the books in this library."
"Okay, I know."
< br>But Futaba did not despair, just glanced at Mo Tan after nodding slightly. , said to Shu Ling calmly: "Ask this person to avoid it."
"Please come this way."
Shu Ling did not let Mo Tan avoid it, just stood up and walked to the mist In front of the wooden door that didn't exist a second ago, Futaba was invited.
"Okay."
Shuangye stood up immediately, and then glanced at Mo Tan, who was a little at a loss, with a smile -
"I'll come back as soon as I go, you stay here, don't Move around.”
