I'm really not a top magician

It was written in large, clear red letters: "First bookshelf, second row, second book from the left."

"..."

The corner of Sajo Aige's eye twitched, and then she asked, "Is your father a diligent writer?"

"That's right. My father is a bit forgetful and often uses a pen to write things down."

Luna answered honestly. She noticed that Sajo Aika's face looked a little ugly. Although she didn't know what was wrong with him, she always felt that it was her fault.

That’s right, how could there be anything wrong with Sajo Aika?

That must be my own problem!

"...Your father is such a hardworking man." Sajo Aika let out an incomprehensible laugh.

When she saw this sentence, her heart almost skipped a beat.

Is there something wrong with this old man?

This is a code! Not an essay!

Can't you be more serious and make up a long string of numbers?

Even if it doesn't work, you can just draw a ghost picture, right?

When you write this sentence, aren't you clearly telling others that I have a secret?

Shatiao Aige suddenly felt a lot of bitterness in his heart, and he almost wanted to bless his ancestors.

"Go get the book over there now." Saijo Aika said with her last hope.

"it is good."

Luna took out the book as requested.

But when the book was half pulled out, the sound of mechanical gears came from inside the bookshelf, and then the bookshelf in front of him began to rotate, and a passage leading to the underground appeared.

Luna looked at Aika Satiao excitedly and said, "Ms. Satiao, you are amazing. You discovered the secret code in this book at first sight."

Luna's expression at this moment was obviously very excited. On the one hand, with the help of Aika Sajo, she also found secret passages and clues that she didn't know about.

On the other hand, she was also impressed by Sajo Aika's ability. You know, there are at least hundreds, if not thousands, of books on the bookshelves here.

Because Luna had also investigated the study, but ultimately returned empty-handed. The main reason was that there were simply too many books here, and she had been dealing with debt issues with other families at the time, so she simply didn't have enough time to investigate all the books here.

According to Sajo Aika,

If there really are secret codes hidden in books, then the first and most difficult step is to determine which books contain clues. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to try every book.

But Shatiao Aige found it out immediately.

Although this behavior could be attributed to luck, after careful consideration, Luna realized the extraordinary nature of Aika Sajo.

Because after entering the room, Sajo Aika took out the book and said confidently that there must be clues in it.

This confidence is the clue that Luna firmly believes in.

She herself is a fairly famous genius in the Clock Tower, so she is naturally aware of the common characteristics among geniuses.

Precisely because he is recognized as a genius, no matter what conclusion he draws or what he says in front of others, he will only answer after careful consideration. This is not because he is unconfident or cautious, but simply for the sake of face.

And once a genius says something with confidence, most of the time it is the result of their careful thinking.

And the same is definitely true for Sajo Aika!

"Senior Satiao, how did you tell at first glance that there was a secret code here?" Luna asked curiously.

If I knew there was a secret code here, I would never give you this book even if you kill me!

Sajo Aika complained inwardly.

But she would never tell the other party the truth, after all, it was really embarrassing to tell it.

So, Sajo Aige replied with a straight face, "Because at a glance, all of this place is filled with books on success. It's clear the owner of this study really enjoys this kind of stuff. But what's strange is that there are a few books other than success books mixed in here."

"Perhaps my father likes it."

"Buying books because you enjoy them is certainly a reason, but ultimately, that's too little. On a shelf full of success books, you can only find one novel (Pride and Prejudice) and one psychology book (The Crowd). If you like novels or want to study psychology, you definitely won't just have these two books. So after eliminating other possibilities, I guess there are clues in these two books. But you actually found them first, you're really amazing."

When Sajo Aika said the last sentence, she deliberately emphasized her tone.

Moreover, the reasoning she had just given about the clues was all made up on the spot. However, seeing Luna's admiring expression, it seemed that she was frightened.

In order to confirm Aika Sajo's guess, Luna also checked the novel on the side, and sure enough, the same words were written on a page in the middle of the book.

As expected, Sajo Aika is a genius.

Aika Satiao raised her eyebrow and turned to look at the underground passage in front of her.

"Let's go down and take a look." Luna suggested.

"Yeah." Aika Sajo nodded.

Aika Sajo didn't ask any more questions, but fell into deep thought.

I came to this study just to be lazy.

But now, the nonsense I made up has actually come true.

There really are secret codes in this pile of useless success books.

If Luna hadn't been by her side, Sajo Aika really wanted to hold her head in her hands and curse at the sky to vent her unbalanced heart.

She once thought she was just lucky:

Occasionally, God would shine a few rays of divine light on me because I was pretty.

Occasionally, I would borrow a quote from Mr. Ma in my previous life and it would be included in the textbook;

Occasionally, due to experimental errors, Kenneth's unique gift item, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, was produced;

Occasionally……

Shatiao Aige, why are you so lucky?

Did you steal the luck of the Lancers on the next set?

why?

why?

why?

Why are you so lucky and your magic is so bad?

Why are those people lucky E, but magic is so good?

Aika Sajo fell into deep regret.

She hated

Hate this world, why do you take care of yourself so much.

Sighed again,

This thought suddenly occurred to Aika Shajo, wondering if all people with extremely good luck would have such troubles.

Just like that, Sajo Aika felt helpless about her own miserable situation and followed Luna mechanically.

The two of them walked down the stairs one after the other.

The staircase was very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. Luna looked at the magic lights on both sides that were activated by magic, and her heart was suddenly filled with curiosity.

She grew up in this workshop. She treated the holy lake, which no one else could enter, as a plaything, and the fairies there had a good relationship with her.

Such a genius, she soon inherited the magic seal of the Nalandril family, and learned the secrets behind the family's long history and the truth about the holy lake.

She thought that she had known all the secrets here since the moment she became the heir, but she didn't expect to discover this mysterious underground passage in the study today.

According to legend, there is a tomb of King Arthur in the Holy Lake area.

Perhaps this underground passage leads to the mausoleum. After all, the Nelandril family has guarded the Holy Lake for thousands of years, and adding a mausoleum is not surprising.

At this moment, the two of them reached the end of the stairs.

Standing in front is a stone gate.

Luna went forward and pushed the door open. The moment she was about to push it open,

Aika Sajo suddenly grabbed her from behind.

"Ms. Sajo, you..."

Just when Luna was about to come back to her senses and ask the other party, she heard the sound of some mechanism being activated.

The magic circle in the shadow above their heads was instantly activated, and beams of light fell from the sky, perfectly avoiding Luna and landing half a meter to their side.

Seeing the sudden attack, Luna's hair stood on end. If it weren't for Shatiao Aige's caution, she would have been tricked by the trap here.

"Thank you for what I did just now, Miss Shatiao." Luna thanked her sincerely.

However, Aika Sajo was indeed a little confused, because she just wanted to feel the gloomy atmosphere here and was a little scared, so she planned to pull Luna back.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It was because Aika Sajo pulled Luna away that Luna barely avoided the attack of the mechanism.

But Aika Satiao really just wants to leave here!

"No...it's nothing. I'm glad you're okay. But you have to be more careful next time and don't fall into the trap so easily." Sajo Aika continued.

"I'll pay attention next time." Luna nodded with a blush.

Shatiao Aige is really amazing. Even at this point, he is still very cautious.

"Since the traps here are so dangerous, why don't we go up?" suggested Aika Satiao.

After seeing that there were hidden weapons here, Shatiao Aige became even more panicked and wanted to go up to hide, fearing that he would step on a mechanism one day and be killed by a magic trick.

Listening to Sajo Aika's words, Luna fell silent for a moment.

Do you want to quit?

It can be seen that because of the negligence just now, Sajo Aika is very disappointed with her performance.

I used to be proud of my little talent, but in the end, even my own magic device could be defeated.

It's so embarrassing!

"I choose to keep moving forward," Luna said firmly.

"Since you've chosen to quit, let's go up... Wait, you choose to continue!"

Shatiao Aige, who was about to go up, was stunned. "Why? It's so dangerous here."

"Because I don't want to let myself, and you, down."

Luna's eyes became firm.

"If I were to withdraw because of this little trap, it would only prove that I have limited courage and am unworthy of inheriting the name Nelandriel from my father. If I am afraid of even the trap before me, I would be even more unworthy of your test."

That’s right, everything is a test for Aika Sajo herself.

Luna understood from the beginning that relying solely on Nelandriel's financial resources would only give her a temporary ally.

But he couldn't gain the friendship of Aika Sajo.

But friendship is also mutual. Friendship can only be established when both parties can bring benefits to each other.

So she must show everything about herself, only in this way can she gain the friendship of Sajo Aika.

and……

The corner of Sajo Aika's eye twitched, and she suddenly felt that the topic seemed a little strange.

test?

Capacity?

Hey! Don't twist my words!

I really just want to run away!

Although I really want to curse,

But at this moment, Sajo Aika could only greet him with a smile: "Not bad, not bad..."

……

The two stepped into the stone gate, but did not find the place where the mechanism had hit.
