Chapter 36: Sensing Magic
library.

The scorching sun streamed through the stained-glass windows, casting dappled shadows on the bookshelves.

A petite and cute silver-haired girl was lying on a hammock, swinging her feet as she flipped through a book, while the black-haired young man next to her was sitting cross-legged on the floor, concentrating on flipping through the book on his lap.

The golden light shone on the two of them, and even the air was filled with a quiet atmosphere.

hum!
Suddenly, a low bell sound came from outside the window, long and heavy.

The bell rang three times in a row, finally waking up Xia Mingyu who was immersed in a book.

His eyes left the page of the book and looked at the girl in the hammock beside him in a daze.

"Your Highness, this is the bell from the castle clock tower, indicating that it is noon." Iris explained softly.

"Before I knew it, the whole morning had already passed!"

Xia Mingyu glanced at the dozen or so books scattered on the floor. He stood up, tapped his sore thighs, and then stretched hard.

"I'm so hungry." Xia Mingyu only then felt his stomach was empty. He was so hungry that he felt like he could eat a pig.

dong dong.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the oak door of the library.

Who would come to the library at this hour? Could it be Viscount Hughes?
With this doubt, Xia Mingyu walked over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were a beautiful girl carrying a lunch basket and an old man in a black tuxedo. They were Anlia and old Sean.

"Your Highness, I made some food for you. I heard Butler Sean say you were in the library, so I brought it to you."

An Liya looked at the tall, black-haired young man in front of her, a hint of joy flashed in her blue eyes. She presented the lunch basket to Xia Mingyu with both hands as if she were offering a treasure.

However, he did not take it. Instead, he thought for a moment and looked at Old Sean.

"Butler Sean, can I let my maid and servants enter the library?" Xia Mingyu asked.

Knowledge is the most precious treasure in the world, and of course he also hopes that Anlia, Berg and others can read more books here.

"The principle is no." Old Sean paused.

"But if it were you, the noble one, I think my master would laugh and help me move even if we emptied the library."

Just when Xia Mingyu thought he was going to refuse, Old Sean suddenly changed the subject, leaned down and said respectfully.

This old man, who has one foot almost buried in the ground, is quite humorous.

"Thank Viscount Hughes for me, and tell him that I'm looking forward to the banquet tonight." Xia Mingyu said calmly.

"Honored."

"So many books! It's truly a noble library!"

Anlia covered her mouth and looked at the stacked bookshelves in front of her, her delicate face full of shock.

In Fruit Basket Village, only her adoptive father Robert had a tattered literacy book, which was shared by the whole village.

"Anlia, you can read any of the books here, but I suggest you read "First Encounter with God" and "Complete Collection of God" first."

Xia Mingyu said lightly that until now An Liya still had no professional protection on her head.

From what she said, it seemed that Robert had forbidden her to do any farm work and she only did some kitchen work, which resulted in her not being employed as a farmer.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

A trace of gratitude flashed in the girl's eyes. She placed the lunch basket on the floor and gently opened it. Suddenly, a faint aroma of wheat and a rich aroma of meat emerged. Even Iris, who was lying on the hammock beside her, put down her book and looked over involuntarily.

Inside the basket were three steaming loaves of white bread and a large piece of caramel-colored meat, dipped in orange honey and slightly curved at the edges. "Your Highness, this is the honey venison leg I learned how to make from Aunt Merry, the castle's head chef. Please try it."

Anlia said softly, then looked at him expectantly.

Xia Mingyu picked up the knife and fork from the lunch basket, cut a piece of meat covered with honey, then picked up a piece of white bread and took a bite of bread and a bite of meat.

The next moment, the wheat aroma of bread and the sweetness of honey intertwined in the mouth, and the tenderness of venison was even more memorable.

Xia Mingyu's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

"It's delicious." He said sincerely.

The taste is definitely not inferior to those Michelin restaurants on Blue Star, although he has never been there.
"As long as you like it, Your Highness."

Hearing the praise from her lover, the smile on the girl's pretty face was as bright as a sunflower in spring.

"By the way, where's that kid Berg?"

Xia Mingyu asked while chewing on bread and venison.

It's already noon, that kid, is he still not awake?
"Butler Sean said that shortly after you got up, he went to the castle's training ground to learn sword skills from Knight Thorin," Anlia replied.

Xia Mingyu, who was learning swordsmanship, recalled that the book "The Complete Book of Protection" mentioned that the hunter's subsequent promotion career seemed to be hunter.

Judging from the literal meaning, swordsmanship does not necessarily seem to be a requirement for promotion to a hunter.

In essence, this "Encyclopedia of Protection" should actually be called the Protection Catalog. After all, it only mentions the names of professions and does not write anything about promotion conditions and abilities.

"The barrier of knowledge is really as difficult as climbing to the sky." Xia Mingyu sighed in his heart. He planned to ask Viscount Hughes next time they met.

The other party is a powerful man of the Morning Star level and a lord noble, so he must know more information than him.

"Elise, do you want to try some?"

After eating about 70% full, he handed the food basket with a piece of white bread and one-fifth of venison to the silver-haired girl who was secretly swallowing her saliva in the hammock.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity!" Iris happily took the lunch basket.

This is obviously the food from your castle, do you still need to thank me? Xia Mingyu shrugged, deeply realizing how pleasant it is to have a good identity.

"Iris, if I want to become a magician, is the first step to sensing magic power?"

After Iris finished enjoying the meal, he put down the "Basics of Magic" in his hand and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. Sensing magic power is indeed the first step on the path of magic."

Iris got up from the hammock in a panic and stood on the ground again, bowing respectfully and answering.

"But." Iris looked hesitant.

"Just say it." Xia Mingyu said lightly.

"Not everyone has the ability to sense magic. In fact, only a very small number of people have this ability, and it often takes several years of meditation to successfully sense magic." Iris explained.

Although saying this might offend the noble prince, she still felt that she had to make it clear first to avoid wasting his time.

Because countless nobles spent several years meditating in their childhood in order to become magicians, but gained nothing, wasting their golden time for training.

"I have already learned this from the book. You just need to teach me how to meditate." Xia Mingyu said calmly.

He flipped through several books on magic, but all they found were some messed up history and introductions, with nothing at all when it came to actually meditating and perceiving magic power.

Damn knowledge barrier!
