Chapter 8 The Magic Book Granting Ceremony Begins, Takaki’s Guess!
After finishing a simple dinner.
Takaki smiled relaxedly, and accompanied several younger children in the church, telling fairy tales from past lives, and the exciting parts even caused exclamations of exclamation.
These children all moved small stools and gathered around Takaki to listen carefully.
They are all orphans adopted by the church.
Yuno kept his head down and helped Sister Lily wash the dishes.
As for Asta, he ran out immediately after eating and hid in no corner to train.
The three of them are all doing what they usually do, and there doesn't seem to be any difference.
Only Sister Lily and the priest looked at each other from time to time and smiled slightly.
"These two children..."
The priest murmured softly.
Didn't Taki realize that when he was telling stories, there were often repetitions? This had never happened before.
The same goes for Yuno, who washes the dishes slowly and quickly, not knowing what he is thinking.
Asta is not in the church and the priest doesn't know.
But thinking about it, it’s the same as Takaki and Yuno, maybe even worse than that.
"Are you nervous about tomorrow..."
The priest assumed a comfortable posture, leaned on the chair, and thought silently in his heart.
This may be a process that every 15-year-old boy must experience.
In fact, he wasn't too worried about Takaki and Yuno. What really worried him was Asta. When he thought of this, the priest couldn't help but sigh.
"996!"
"997!"
"998!"
"999!"
"1000!!"
On the lawn outside the village.
"Huhu..."
Asta put his hands on the ground, with his head down and his feet up. After doing the last movement, his whole body "popped" and he lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
"I want to become the Magic Emperor, but this is the only thing I will never admit defeat, Taki! Yuno!"
After Asta took a few deep breaths, he got up from the ground with firm eyes and continued to exercise.
March.
The season when fireflies and dandelion fluffs dance.
Also once a year, 15-year-old boys from all over the Clover Kingdom are gathered to hold a ceremony to award "magic books" that can enhance the holder's magic power.
A young man with a face full of excitement walked along the somewhat mottled stairs with shrubs and trees growing on both sides, heading towards the Magic Book Tower above.
The weather today is very good, with blue sky and white clouds, very clear, which seems to reflect everyone's mood.
Taki, Yuno, and Asta stood in the crowd and moved forward.
"There are so many people."
Asta's eyes widened and he sighed.
"This is the only magic book tower in this area. People of all ages from the surrounding villages will come here. Of course there are many people."
When Taoki spoke, he was also a little surprised.
I just took a quick glance and found that there were probably fifty or sixty people under the age of 15.
"Don't be late, let's go faster."
Yuno's expression was indifferent, and he seemed to have no interest in the people around him.
Takaki glanced at Yuno, feeling interesting in his heart, but still nodded.
The awarding ceremony of the magic book starts at the same time. Going a little early and going a little late doesn't have much impact. Yuno looks calm on the surface, but in fact he is a little nervous inside.
Soon.
A tall and huge building appeared in the sight of several people.
Rather than saying that this is a building, it is better to say that this is an enlarged chimney, because there are no windows on it, just like a straight column.
The surface of the wall is covered with dust, and the peeling wall skin, brick joints and wall surface are covered with a large amount of moss.
This is completely different from the noble magician tower that Takaki imagined.
Takaki was still a little disappointed with this, but he also knew that there was a big difference between the magicians in this world and the so-called magicians.
Enter the Magic Book Tower.
What comes into view are the bookshelves lined up on the walls, full of magic books of different colors and sizes, arranged on the bookshelves.
At the top of the book tower, there is a hollow "plum blossom" logo of the Clover Kingdom. The sunlight shines directly through this logo, coupled with the bookshelves covering the surrounding walls, it obviously does not cast any magic, but it gives people a sense of
A unique sense of shock.
"Wow!!"
Asta let out a shocked exclamation, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the magic books placed on the shelves.
At this moment, not only Asta was shocked, most people were also shocked, but no one paid attention to Asta's yelling.
As Takaki looked at everything in front of him, his originally calm heart became inexplicably nervous.
Unlike Sister Lily and the priest, who believed that he would definitely obtain the Magic Book, Takaki was still a little unsure deep down about whether he could obtain the Magic Book.
The magic in this world is inherited by blood like the nobles, and it has a certain relationship with the human soul.
After all, he is a time traveler and is not from this world at all.
Even if he gains magic power, it does not necessarily mean that he can obtain the magic book.
Actually.
As early as when he was watching the anime, Takaki was a little curious, where did the magic books in the magic book tower come from?
There are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of magic books in the book tower in front of you. This is just a book tower. You have to know how many book towers there are in various areas of the Clover Kingdom. Such a large number
How did the magic book appear?
And.
Not only the Clover Kingdom, but also the remaining three kingdoms.
It's a pity that there is no mention in the anime and comics at all, this is more like a background version.
If you just watch it as an anime, it doesn’t matter.
It can be regarded as a setting, but if it is placed in the real world, this is a problem that cannot be ignored!
This is also what worries him.
Takaki had also made speculations before.
First of all, this can’t be man-made!
No matter whether it is anime or comics, the power of magicians shown in them cannot achieve this. You must know that every magic book represents a magician.
If someone can really create a magic book, then this person is a god!
Assuming there is such a god, then what the people of the Clover Kingdom worship is not the Magic Emperor at all, but this god.
The same is true for other countries.
Because a large number of people obtain magic books every year, some of them will inevitably be consumed, and since consumption must be replenished, then this so-called god must often appear in front of the world and hand over the magic books made to everyone.
Kingdom.
Then, it is impossible for the church organization to be in such a state of decline.
The church organization in this world is more like a relief society than a church.
Takaki himself guessed that this is more like the rules of this world, just like there is magic in this world, and he only needs to fill ordinary books into the magic book tower.
As for the transformation process, Chaomu himself is a little confused.
He guessed that it had something to do with this "acquisition ceremony", but he was not sure.
After all, after the two killed elves in the Dark Eye organization were resurrected, they went directly to the Magic Book Tower and immediately obtained the Magic Book. This does not seem to have much to do with the "obtaining ritual".
