Chapter 12 - Just Chilling(3)

"I wonder when Jigurd will get here...knowing him he'll probably wait a while to make sure he doesn't run into Bingwen."

Entering state of calm(Near Absolute)|

I sat down and began to wait for a soldier to drag Jigurd inside the palace.

"I wonder how I should go about fucking with him?"

Maybe I'll trick him into thinking Bingwen loves to eat elves.

"No that would be unfair towards Bingwen...I guess I'll just read to him."

I continued to wait five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes.

State of calm is strengthened->Entering state of emptyness|

-Thoughts are uneffected by emotions/Thought processing increased/High chance to exit state of emptyness due to effects of trust/Rational thoughts increased/Regained emotions make this state unpleasant so will naturally seek ways to exit state of emptyness-

"I'll head to the library for now. It's fine the guards will bring him to me since I'm either in my room or in the library."

I stood up and walked towards the closest wall.

"This prince commands you to take him to the library."

The trees making up the walls began to shake separating from each other forming a small cave entrance in front of me. I without hesitation walked into this cave.

I continued to walk the way which I came through closed. The flowers on the walls shining bright making the path I walk down clear as day.

Eventually I made it to the end.

"I'll go ahead and read up on advanced magic."

I entered the library and walked to a bookcase directly to my left grabbing a book right in the middle section of it.

"Now let's see what I got."

The book I grabbed was covered in dust. Seeing this I blew on it sending the dust flying.

"Merlin's guide to basic magic theory's."

I opened the first page and began to read out loud to myself.

"Hello this is Merlin the head magic researcher that serves directly under the empress. I would write something fun at the beginning like how my name was actually chosen by me and an interest in the legends of king Arthur. Any ways book starts in five pages."

I immediately flipped five pages and began to read once again.

"So first we are to discuss the nature of magic. Unfortunately I have no Idea magic can do many things but I guess to simplify it magic is the ability to influence things. Of course magic can be interrupted.

I began to think what is magic but of course I was unable to get a proper answer so I went ahead and began to read once again.

"For example if you are to cast a wind spell you must take into account the winds direction, moisture levels, and over all temperature if you wish to cast whatever spell you wish at its strongest. Of course with enough magic and a strong enough ability to maintain control over Mana you could overcome any potential problems but in the long run it will limit your growth as a magus."

"HEY AAMI YOU IN HERE?"

Exiting state of emptyness and entering state of natural calm|

I stopped reading and looked for the source of that familiar voice finding it immediately.

"Hey fatty."

Seeing me even after hearing what I said he walked towards me with a big smile.

"Hey Aami hope you didn't miss me to much. Any ways what are you going to read to me today?"

"Nothing instead I'll just make up a story okay."

"It better not be a bloody one okay oh and try not to make it to trashy."

"What else would you expect from trash now come on sit down."
