Fern turned his head and looked at Barbara who seemed to have suddenly realized something and asked, "You know?" Barbara nodded and said, "Well, I once heard my grandmother tell a story about a person at the level of a magic saint who lived somewhere in the Magic City. It is said that the magic saint had a much stronger talent than others in learning magic since he was a child. The magic saint was not interested in regular combat magic. Although he still learned it in class, after class he would go to the library to read some books on black magic. There were very few books of this kind in the library, so the magic saint searched the library from top to bottom, but still couldn't find any books on black magic. In an inconspicuous corner of the library, he saw a book called "Magic in Another World". It is said that the book talks about some things that are used The magic trick was to transform into various shapes for people to appreciate. However, the mage liked this book very much and practiced with it every day. With his unremitting efforts, he finally used his magic to transform the first thing, which was a thousand paper cranes as tall as a person. The mage was very excited at the time. He used magic to make the thousand paper cranes as tall as a person float in the air, and then took the thousand paper cranes as tall as a person to show his beloved girl. However, the girl's words broke the mage's heart, so from then on, the mage never used magic to transform paper cranes again. Over time, the mage liked to transform some scary things, such as some monsters, especially scary monsters, and the most common ones were human faces!"
Barbara pointed to the translucent face in the middle of the locked door on the third floor and continued, "The horrible things that the magic saint conjured up were released to scare people. Although these horrible things conjured up by magic automatically disappeared a day after leaving the magic saint, they still scared a lot of people!"
"Wait, you said that this translucent face disappeared one day after leaving the Mage Saint?" Fern asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, that's what my grandmother told me." Barbara said to Fern very confidently, and then Barbara suddenly looked at the translucent face, then looked at Fern and said, "This face was here when you came yesterday, and it's still here today, doesn't it mean..."
Fern touched his chin and nodded, saying, "It's very possible that the Mage Saint is in this small building!" Then Barbara said excitedly, "Really? Can I meet the legendary Mage Saint? I have never seen a Mage Saint since I was a child, especially such a strong Mage Saint!"
Fern looked at Barbara's expectant expression and said something to remind her, "I'm talking about the possibility. Another possibility is that the Sage's ability is so strong that the things he made can leave the maker and will not dissipate."
Barbara was still very excited and said, "It's okay. I am very satisfied to see the things made by the magic saint. Let's go up quickly!"
As Barbara was talking, she wanted to go upstairs. Fern stopped her and asked, "How can we go up with this translucent face blocking the way?" Barbara rummaged through her small backpack and said, "It's okay, I have a way." Then she searched for a while, and finally Barbara took out a small white porcelain bottle from her small backpack. She didn't know what was inside, and then Barbara poured out the contents of the small white porcelain bottle, and a drop of dark green liquid dripped onto her hand. Barbara was seen making various gestures with her hands and chanting spells.
After finishing the spell, Barbara placed her hands on the transparent human face on the locked door on the third floor, and the transparent face disappeared. Looking at the locked door, Fern asked the small robot to open it immediately. Fern took Barbara to the third floor. The third floor was like a study, with rows of bookshelves filled with books. This floor looked much more normal than the previous two floors, but all kinds of insects were floating on the entire floor, which still made you feel disgusted. Barbara told Fern that these insects were created by the magic saint.
Fern and Barbara looked through the bookshelves row by row. After looking at a few bookshelves, Fern lost interest because these books were all related to magic practice, and Fern had no way to learn magic, so he had no interest in these books. On the other hand, Barbara was very interested and wanted to open every book.
Although he was not very interested, Fern still finished reading the remaining bookshelves, which were all magic books. When Fern finished reading the last bookshelf and turned to find Barbara, he saw a small bookshelf in the corner with only one book on it. Fern walked over curiously and picked up the book to check. The cover of the book was black with nothing written on it. Fern flipped through the cover and the first piece of paper behind the cover read "Alien Records, written by Shurus."
Fern took a quick look at the contents and thought that it should be an autobiography written by a man named Xulus. Then Fern put the book of strange things into his backpack and went to find Barbara. Barbara was reading a book on how to quickly improve magic. Barbara was so engrossed in the book that even when Fern called out to Barbara several times, she didn't hear him.
So Fern sat down next to Barbara and took out the book "The Book of Strange Things" written by Xulus from his backpack to read.
The Book of Strange Things tells the story of what happened to Shurus after he arrived in the Magic City. When Fern saw the article about Shurus's visit to the Dark Forest, he began to read it attentively. The book described what happened when Shurus was in the Magic City one day to check the situation there and walked into the Dark Forest.
Shurus entered the outskirts of the Dark Forest. As soon as he entered the outskirts of the Dark Forest, fog suddenly rose, and Shurus got lost inside. He could not see the direction to go, nor the entrance he had just entered. Shurus walked forward based on his intuition. After walking for a long time, there was still a thick fog in front of him. Shurus was tired, so he leaned against a tree next to him to rest. When Shurus leaned against the tree to drink water, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Shurus' hand touched the dagger at his waist. The rustling sound lasted for a long time. Shurus looked forward along the sound and saw a three-eyed scorpion in a bush. Shurus didn't know what kind of monster the three-eyed scorpion was. He saw this scorpion, which was slightly larger in size and had a red body and three eyes, rustling in the bushes, doing nothing, and Shurus didn't dare to act rashly.
