I'm really not a top magician

If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would have been successfully ambushed by that goblin.

It's really dangerous.

"Are you okay?" The butler ran up from behind with everyone.

Although they didn't see it clearly, they still saw it.

"It's okay." Shatiao Aige quickly put on a relaxed look. "A mere fairy wanted to sneak attack me. I really don't know what these random cultivators are thinking."

Although he looked arrogant, his heart was still beating fast.

It's the same feeling as walking out of the line between life and death.

I will never come near here again even if you kill me.

Sajo Aika was only thinking about leaving. "I've taken a look. This is a barrier from the Age of Gods. It can't be opened by ordinary means. I'm going to your father's study now. I hope to find some information. Let's divide the investigation."

After saying that, Sajo Aika stepped away.

"She looks very angry." Fareus narrowed his eyes and said, "After all, she was tricked. Although this attack is nothing to Ai Satiao, the trust in this team is..."

"Then we'll divide the work and investigate," Leif interjected. "But we need to send people to guard here to prevent the goblins from escaping and attacking us."

Luna also nodded: "Then I will go find Miss Shatiao."

After saying that, Luna ran towards where Sajo Aika was.

"Then I'll leave too..."

"Fareus, wait a moment!"

Leif called out to Fareus who was about to leave.

"What's wrong, my lovely Professor Leif..."

Fareus seemed to sense something, and his eyes, which had been narrowed all the time, opened slightly.

"What's your purpose in coming here?" Rafe asked.

"I'm short of money lately, so I need to make some extra cash," said Phareus. "It's not that easy to earn favors from the Nelandril family."

"I don't remember the first-level lecturer in the Clock Tower being short of money." Leif's face darkened.

"I've lost a lot of money gambling lately."

"Really?" Leif leaned close to Fareus's ear, "Then put your snake away!"

After saying this, Leif came to the barrier of the Holy Lake to monitor the goblins.

"Heh." Fareus sneered.

At his feet, a small snake, similar in color to the woods, slowly crawled into Fareus' sleeve.

Recover the snake.

Fareus narrowed his eyes again, turned and left the holy lake.

However, their conversation was heard by Luna in the distance.

PS: The Phareus and Nelandriel families are both my original creations.

Because the first and second volumes are about the story in the clock tower,

For the sake of the plot, I had to add some original characters. However, as a Type-Moon fan fiction, I tried my best to reduce the number of original characters and increase the interaction with the original characters.

ps2: As someone who has been a fan of RNG since 16, I actually cried while watching the game today... I even had the chance to shout out loud: Who can draw his sword and mount his horse? Only I, General Tiger!

Chapter 15 The Code Hidden in the Book

"This is father's study," Luna led Sajo Aige into the room, "You can look around freely."

"Thank you."

Sajo Aige entered the room and casually browsed the bookshelves on both sides of the study.

However, the books on the bookshelf were not about magic.

On the contrary, most of them are books about success.

Teach You Three Steps to the Peak of Life

The Secret to Getting Rich Quickly

Awaken the Giant Within

The Success Secrets of Historical Great Men

etc.

"..." Shatiao Aige was a little speechless.

I didn’t expect that the former patriarch was quite interesting and actually liked to read so many books on success.

Luna seemed to have noticed the strange look in Sajo Aika's eyes and quickly explained, "My father was very obsessed with these success books for a while, and I read quite a few of them when I was a kid."

"However, magicians like your father who are willing to come into contact with the culture of ordinary people are rare even in the Clock Tower. He is really a powerful magician." Aika Sajo commented casually.

In the Type-Moon world, most of the magicians in the Clock Tower are more like seekers who stay in their own workshops to study and delve into the ways of magic.

This is somewhat similar to the scholars and scientists who continue to delve into research in ordinary society.

Therefore, most magicians often have a rejection attitude towards things in ordinary society, and even come close to resisting modern technology.

In their minds, magic is still a great existence that is superior to technology.

However, in Sajo Aika's opinion, it is precisely because of the arrogance and self-satisfaction of these magicians that modern magic has long fallen far behind science.

It is still 1994, and the emergence of computers alone can surpass most magic costumes. Of course, in the future there will be high-tech such as smart phones. Civilian technology is improving rapidly, but magic has always maintained its high profile and has no intention of keeping up with the trend of the times.

But in the face of the tide of the times, even if you are a magician who symbolizes miracles or a mysterious magician, once you are left behind by the tide of the times, the only thing that future generations will praise is just a technical noun.

In response to Sajo Aika's comments, Luna nodded and said, "That's right. Compared to magic, father is more interested in worldly things."

No wonder there are so many books on success.

Shatiao Aige secretly teased herself in her heart.

Just now, I was attacked by the goblins at the holy lake.

Shatiao Aige felt her heartbeat quicken, and her legs were actually shaking as she walked along.

If her pants weren't loose, no one would have noticed.

So much so that she has a little psychological trauma now,

Now she wouldn't dare to get close to the holy lake even if she was beaten to death, for fear that one day she would be trapped by those female fairies for no apparent reason!

so now,

She rushed to the study on the pretext of conducting separate investigations.

On the one hand, she was really frightened and needed to find a quiet place to comfort her frightened heart.

On the other hand, in order to prevent accidents like the one just now from happening, she thought about it and decided that the study was the safest place.

I love reading and reading loves me!

When she was studying, she hated studying the most.

Now, look at how cute Newton’s mustache is, and the various physical formulas he discovered are simply so close to us.

"But I've checked the study carefully," Luna said, "I really can't find any books that are useful for the Holy Lake."

Of course, Sha Tiao Aige knew it was useless, otherwise why would she come here?

You don't really think I want to investigate seriously, do you?

No way! No way!

Of course, Sajo Aika didn't say the vulgar words in her heart, but pretended to be profound and said:

"That's why I said your father was a great magician."

"What do you mean?"

Sajo Aika smiled and said, "It is precisely because you are an academic student who has studied in the Clock Tower since childhood that you are not aware of the tragic history of magicians in the Middle Ages."

"In that era, magic was kept strictly confidential. After all, if used maliciously, magic could be extremely dangerous and could even lead to death. To prevent this, and to ensure their own safety, magi of the time encrypted their research materials."

"To the average person, it's just a recipe book, but only the author knows the code to unlock it. It's a highly advanced grimoire. Simply put, it's what we would now call a cipher, but the magicians of the time hid it within everyday books and scriptures, invisible to the average person."

"However, as the Clock Tower grew in power, magicians gained official protection and were no longer wantonly murdered by ordinary people. Furthermore, after the Clock Tower released some magic to the public, this method of preserving magic secrets became obsolete and outdated."

Aika Sajo spoke with great devotion, and there was a slight hint of sadness in her voice, as if she felt sorry for the magicians of that era.

But everything that Aika Sajo said was a lie.

Although she mixed in a lot of historical truth when describing medieval history, the part about the magician's secret codes was just something she made up.

However, Sajo Aika cleverly broke up the lies and integrated them into the truth that everyone believed in.

Using the truth to cover up lies is the usual tactic used by charlatans.

As a keyboard warrior in my previous life, I do have some knowledge of this skill.

"I see."

Luna suddenly realized that as a disciple of Baozhu Weng, Shajo Aige was really knowledgeable and talented.

Even such obscure knowledge is understood so clearly.

Luna thought of Sajo Aika's identity and title, and she had no doubts at all and chose to believe it decisively.

"Since only I know it, how should I interpret it?"

"Rely on knowledge and inspiration, and then patiently decipher it."

Sajo Aika opened her arms, her emotions boiling. "But it doesn't matter. All the clues are right here!"

That's right, the so-called genius is to make everyone think you are a genius.

The so-called secret code is to make everyone think that there is a secret code here.

Sajo Aika said so much nonsense just to make Luna believe that there was a secret code left by his father.

Only in this way can she justifiably slack off here.

(How can the work of scholars be called slacking off?)

As to whether there is really a hidden code here,

For this,

Sha Tiao Aige just wants to laugh,

No one really believes that there are secret codes hidden in these rubbish success books.

Aika Sajo smiled secretly in her heart, then took a book "The Crowd" from the bookshelf and flipped through a few pages.

Thinking of Luna's admiring look, she handed the book to her and said, "I took a quick look. This book might contain the results we want."

"Okay!" Luna quickly took the book and read it carefully.

Because I was fooled by Shatiao Aige,

So Luna believed that there were secret codes hidden in the books in the study, and she carefully examined the contents of each page.

But this is also one of the purposes of Aika Sajo.

By the time Luna finished studying the books here, several days had passed.

By then, even if the problem cannot be solved, Shatiao Aige can still be a good trick. It is a problem of Luna's ability, and then continue to fool people.

Secondly, if other people solve the problem during this period, everyone will be happy.

No matter what the result is, Sha Tiao Ai Ge will make money.

Just as Shatiao Aige happily took a novel from the bookshelf and was about to lie on the sofa to read,

Luna suddenly rushed forward: "Miss Shatiao is really amazing, she really has a secret code!"

Chapter 16: The Test of Aika Sajo

"Ms. Sajo, there really is a secret code here."

Just when Aika Sajo was planning to find a novel to read to kill time, Luna next to her suddenly held up the book "The Crowd" and said excitedly.

Luna opened the book and turned to the last page.
