187. About Forbidden Magic
Calysia was actually afraid.
Although it was a subconscious fear, it was still seen through by Reina.
“Reina, that is…”
“…”
Calysia continued to back away.
Reina didn’t continue to ask. She put down the casket and walked over to her master to comfort her.
But Calysia’s mood recovered quickly. She changed from trembling to her usual self, as if she had just noticed Reina’s presence a few seconds ago.
“What’s wrong, Master?”
“Reina, that thing, don’t touch it… please.”
“Okay, I won’t touch it.”
Reina was about to put the casket away.
But Calysia held Reina’s hand and said, “This is the divine artifact I used to completely kill Dragon Slayer before. It’s the artifact you gave me, and I’ve kept it until now.”
“I see…”
Reina glanced at the golden casket that had fallen on the floor and patted Calysia’s back.
What a dummy master.
She clearly stirred up bad memories, yet she still has to deliberately hide it?
I must…
I must help Master Calysia clear the obstacles.
I must help Master solve all her problems.
I must give her a perfect ending.
…
Reina put away the casket and stored it again.
She suddenly discovered that from the very beginning, she had been ignoring a very important piece of information.
She went to the library in the Dragon King’s Palace, wanting to find useful information. She spent five minutes instantly absorbing all the books into her mind, but found that she couldn’t find what she was looking for.
At night, when the family gathered for dinner, Reina asked Agnes to take her to the human library. So, Reina spent another night in the central library of humanity, searching for the information she wanted.
But without exception, there was nothing.
If it weren’t for the auxiliary effect of gravity magic combined with the Eye of Light, she wouldn’t have made any progress now. Reina, having returned home and finished bathing with Calysia, went to bed and began to think carefully about the problem.
All night, Reina didn’t sleep.
She began to think about past events.
Calysia didn’t want her to know the truth. She had to know what happened before the Primordial Era. Unfortunately, the memory fragments were difficult to trace back to the Primordial Era.
The memory Calysia retained should be the content of the [hidden ending], but why had the memories of the Primordial Era also completely disappeared?
Even in the various history books she had searched, there were no real records of the Primordial Era.
This era was passed down by word of mouth, but it seemed to have disappeared in history.
“Why…”
After dinner, Reina returned to the bed to accompany Calysia, but her mind was full of the anomalies she had discovered. One hand was on the dragon egg, the other was propping up the bed.
Calysia lay silently on her shoulder, as if in silent support.
Agnes had already left. The construction of the [Anti-Ritual] these past few days had kept everyone busy.
Reina quickly got up.
“Master, can you help me incubate the egg for a few more days?”
“Mmm.”
Calysia nodded.
For a moment, looking at her master’s smiling face, Reina was a little dazed.
But she clenched her fists.
Some things had to be resolved.
“Master, do you believe I can solve it, at the last moment?”
“I believe.”
Calysia said with a smile.
“…Yes.”
She went through the teleportation magic circle, “transferring” twice, and arrived in the dark elven kingdom.
After walking on the branches for a while, she transformed into a giant dragon, shuttled through the God’s Tree, and finally landed on the platform of the castle of the God’s Tree.
Mura quickly came out to greet her, and she was even followed by a group of people.
“Good morning, Dragon Queen~”
She was extremely excited by Reina’s arrival and immediately postponed all her meetings, admirers, and that group of sanctimonious elders, and came to the living room alone with Reina.
She smiled faintly at Reina: “Dragon Queen, may I ask, what can I help you with?”
“Mura, you… I’m sorry.”
Reina lowered her head apologetically. She smelled the dragon race’s scent on Mura and saw that she had already begun to “transform,” but now was not the time to worry about these things.
“The Dragon Queen is joking. This is the path I have chosen~”
Mura seemed to be able to hear what the other was worried about.
“Can you let me go to the largest library of the elves? It would be best if it has various history books. I need to find the forgotten history.”
“Understood. I’d be happy to serve you.”
Mura put on her elven casual clothes… still that cute little short skirt, and led Reina off. That little short skirt was the outfit she wore when she met Reina, and she thought this would give the Goddess a more normal feeling.
She could see that the Goddess was worried about something. After all, things had come to this point, and with the war approaching, many things had to be dealt with.
The elven library had the most ancient history among the Four Realms.
Because this race had not experienced war for thousands of years, all the documents and history were completely intact.
The central library was the second largest building besides the queen’s castle.
Between the crisscrossing branches, it was like a towering skyscraper, but the light green brick walls were covered with vines and branches, inhabited by squirrels, sparrows, and other wild animals, and even kangaroos… they looked like kangaroos, but were actually much cuter little creatures.
Entering the library from one door, Reina felt like she had entered a giant bird’s nest.
Countless platforms were stacked on top of each other with branches, connected by bright, wooden chairs; she felt like she had entered a legendary magic academy. Each platform had its own librarian, and ten-meter-high bookshelves were neatly arranged; below the platforms was a rest area, and the entire library was open to the public for free.
Most of the librarians were powerful dark elves. It was said that this position was basically the highest level among the elves, with the highest salary and status.
Accessing each bookshelf required the personal approval of the librarian. Reina quickly shuttled through the bookshelves, opened the Eye of Light, and basically only needed a glance to understand the contents of all the books in the range.
“Lady Mura! Good morning,” one of the librarians came forward. She had originally wanted to know why the future Elven Queen would come to such a place, but when she saw Reina, she was even more shocked.
—The Dragon Queen was also here!
“Let’s go,” Reina said.
“Mm-hmm,” Mura continued to lead the way.
Before leaving, she gave the librarian a smiling look.
Walking on the wooden bridge, like passing through a canyon, a dense crowd of people walked past, casting respectful gazes.
Reina was worried.
But suddenly, a crimson light pierced through the vines and shone on Reina’s face from a round window.
Almost everyone stopped in their tracks and looked in the due north direction.
—The sun was rising.
Wow! I almost forgot that this world was trapped in an endless night
