REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

Chapter 114: Mysterious Parents (1)

He stood in front of a bookcase filled with books. The books were covered in dust as they quietly lay there and it had been a long time since no one had touched them.

Shen Yanxiao walked to the nearest bookshelf and took out an introductory book for the witch.

Since he had chosen the path of the witch, he had decided to do it more steadily and precisely. What if it was a profession that people had forgotten about? He would make her reappear to regain her glory in the Brilliance Continent someday!

In the days that followed, Shen Yanxiao basically stayed in the dormitory and studied her herbalism books during the day and sneaked into the Witch Division at night to study the skill books secretly.

As usual, Shen Yanxiao sneaked into the Witch Division in the middle of the night. The reason he decided to place more importance on magician skill books than archery was because of the weak management of the Witch Division. The old man was the only one who was there all day, so it was much more convenient for him and instead, the library in the Archer Division was more heavily guarded. He had sneaked there once before, and discovered that some teachers had been on guard all night. So she decided to choose one that was more convenient for her.

Shen Yanxiao sneaked into the Witch Tower and the old man guarding the library was still there. He was still quietly sitting under the lights while repairing the broken books.

He ascended to the second level without hesitation. Shen Yanxiao had been there for ten days, and with her photographic memory, she had already memorized most of the contents of the book. The problem he was facing was that he did not understand too much about witches, and Xiu was the same as well. So, his progress slowed down because he lacked systematic instruction.

Shen Yanxiao took out a book about the curse that she had not finished from the previous night and took a seat in the corner that she felt comfortable with.

Magicians have special skills, and there are plenty of hand gestures to keep in mind. Furthermore, the method of attack was not only limited to slow curses. Many special curses can cause an opponent's strength to diminish for a short period of time, and it's good as a secret attack. However, the curse records of that category were extremely scattered. Shen Yanxiao had been flipping through many books, and she had only managed to find a few of them.

"This curse needs another curse as a basis. Damnit. I have not managed to find all the fundamental curses. " Shen Yanxiao threw the book in her hand to the side before she picked up another book from the bookshelf in hopes of finding the fundamental curse she needed.

"Magicians are a very complicated profession. Moreover, as long as one knew which skill to use, one-star mages would be enough to face three collaborating opponents from other professions. Do you know why they are so powerful? It was because his skills were very challenging to learn, "said Xiu comforting Shen Yanxiao. In fact, he had learned a few things during those few days. For example, he realized that a curse like the curse of blood was as easy as lifting a finger. However, he still had not mastered any of the skills that required a combination of curses.

"If grandfather doesn't want me to enroll in the Herbalist Division, I will take the Witch Division exam. At least I will get guidance from a teacher, and learning will be much easier as well. " Shen Yanxiao was very upset. Some things can be learned on their own while some cannot.

It would make a huge difference in his progress if he had some guidance in his studies. However, he was unable to find anyone who could guide him on the path of a witch.

"If this doesn't work, I'll go to the Archer Division to steal some skill books tomorrow. The skill for a witch is too harsh which is disgusting. A random combination curse requires seven to eight single curses. How can I find everything? "

She's feeling depressed. He had a talent for cultivating in magic and battle aura, but his progress had slowed down because he had no guidance and he felt extremely depressed over it.

"It is better to familiarize yourself with more warlock skills first. It is not wise to be greedy. If you want to utilize these two professions together, you should have a better understanding of both. " Xiu instructed.

Shen Yanxiao could only let go of the subject and continue to memorize those magician books.

Just then, footsteps rang out from the second floor stairs.

Shen Yanxiao immediately covered the light crystal and hid in the darkness.

The old man guarding the tower walked to the second floor which was pitch-black with the crystal lamp in his hands. He quietly walked up to one of the bookshelves and carefully stuffed a stack of books into it before he returned to the first level.

As Shen Yanxiao looked at the back view of the old man, she could not help but feel touched.

The old man was the only person managing the huge tower, and he seemed to be refining books every day. He put his heart to the care of books that had not been read for many years.

Shen Yanxiao walked over to where the old man had put the books before and took out some of them.

Some of them were skill books for curses, and there were also some notebooks.

An old sheepskin caught the attention of Shen Yanxiao. The different phases for the path of a witch were clearly recorded in the ancient book. There were also detailed combination curses and detailed information about the single required curse written on the edge of the book.

For Shen Yanxiao, the notebook was practically a timely help and something she desperately needed.

As he flipped to the last page of the book, he saw a bold and powerful signature.

‘Yun Qi.’

It turned out that the hand of a person named Yun Qi was writing the notebook. The old sheepskin on it indicated that it was at least fifty to sixty years old.

Could it be the old man?

No matter who Yun Qi was, the notebook was important to Shen Yanxiao. He immediately stored the book in his interspatial ring and quietly left the Warlock Tower.

As Shen Yanxiao left, the Warlock Tower welcomed a rarely seen guest.

"For years, have you not been tired?" The guest was an old man with a white beard who seemed to be around sixty to seventy years old. She was wearing a white robe, and she looked extremely noble and graceful. His face was weathered, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The nanny, who was buried in a pile of books in the library, slowly looked up and casually glanced at the guest before she lowered her head again to continue her repair work.

"Why am I tired? These are all precious treasures of witches, and I cannot let them disappear in my hands. How can you so freely bless me with your presence here today, Dean Ouyang Huanyu? "

The sudden guest was none other than the dean of the world-famous Saint Laurent Academy, Ouyang Huanyu. He was also the strongest Magus in Longxuan Empire.

"I've come to see if a stubborn old man still endures meaningless things." Ouyang Huanyu looked at the empty Warlock Tower and sighed lightly.

The place used to be full of talent, but as the profession of a witch became obsolete, it had been decades since the Witch Division had enrolled a student.

The library guard coldly snorted, but he did not look up.

"meaningless? The people of this continent were too narrow-minded that they treated witches like big whips and avoided them like a plague. Those useless people did not even understand how powerful the witch was. " The voice tone of the old man was filled with a desire for witches.

"That's just your understanding. Now that the path of a mage has become obsolete, you can no longer find anyone who wants to learn to become a mage in the entire Brilliance Continent. " Ouyang Huanyu couldn't help but feel a hint of regret.

"Why? Do you want to destroy the Witch Division? Don't assume that I'm not aware of the situation. The Magus Division is overpopulated, and you are thinking of destroying the Witch Division for those students. " The old man looked up, and his sharp eyes were filled with fury.

The path of a witch will die at the hands of those fools.

Ouyang Huanyu smiled and said, "Don't worry. I remember what I promised you. As long as you are in Saint Laurent Academy, the Witch Division will never be removed from the academy.

The old man lowered his head only after he heard Ouyang Huanyu's reassurance and continued to concern himself with his repair work.

If someone accidentally overhears their conversation, their jaws might fall in shock.

The world-famous Ouyang Huanyu was very courteous towards the ordinary old man. To be honest, it's hard to believe.

Even if he were to meet the Emperor of Longxuan Empire, Ouyang Huanyu would probably not be courteous.

"If there's nothing else, you can go. Other than witches, we do not accept outsiders, especially Magus. " The old man rudely threw him out.

Ouyang Huanyu was greeted with a cold shoulder, but he was not angered by the caretaker's irreverence. However, before he left, he said, "The Herbalist Division has been a success. I'm sure they'll succeed in producing just that if they're given more time. "

After he said that, Ouyang Huanyu left the empty Warlock Tower.

Even if they managed to produce it, then what? The old man looked at the books in the room, and his eyes looked gloomy. The profession that was once the most powerful in the Brilliance Continent had fallen so badly back then. He knew better than anyone about the many skill books in the entire Warlock Tower. As long as there was one student who was willing to follow the path of a magician, he had absolute confidence that he could nurture that student into someone who surpassed all the elites in Saint Laurent Academy.

However

Is there anyone who is still willing to be a witch?

The old man frowned. He suddenly thought and walked to the second floor of the Mage Tower with quick steps. He wanted to check the stack of books he had placed on the bookshelf last night.

All the books were in the right place, except for the seemingly mediocre notebooks.

"The young man really took it?" The old man was a little surprised, but intense excitement surfaced in his chaotic eyes the next second.

If he had not known the location of every book in the Warlock Tower, he would have never discovered that two books were in the wrong place about ten days ago. From then on, he knew that the Warlock Tower had welcomed his first disciple after so many years. If he did not pay attention to the books that were carefully returned to their original location, he would never find that the books had been moved.

He observed the situation for a few more days before he confirmed his thoughts.

From then on, he began to pay attention to the skill books that the youths had chosen to read. Then he realized that the unsolicited young man was like a newborn baby who had just stepped into the path of a witch.
