You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

What does it have to do with me, Paladin Lot, if the mage can't learn it?

Loth activated [Oath Keeper] and slashed at Isolde.

With a gentle flick, Isolde deflected Lotte's full-force attack. Then, she used the same move again, striking Lotte on the head with a crisp sound.

Lotte rubbed his aching head, yelping in pain, but he continued to swing his sword at Isolde.

As they walked back and forth, their shadows grew longer and longer, and the sun gradually moved closer to the horizon.

Lotte, panting, stared intently at the calm Isolde before her.

The next second, Isolde's figure suddenly vanished. Lott, relying on his memory of being beaten up all afternoon, instinctively raised his arm and used [Oath Keeper] to block Isolde's attack.

"Snapped."

This time, the sound was no longer Isolde hitting Lot on the head, but the sound of two wooden sticks colliding.

Lotte looked up at the wooden stick above and finally grinned, "It blocked...it blocked it..."

"Hmm." Isolde looked at the sun in the sky, leaning the wooden stick against the wall. "It's getting late, so training is over for today. I have to leave for a while; wait for me in the room. What would you like to eat tonight?"

"It's entirely up to Lord Isolde."

Isolde took out a handkerchief and wiped her face. "No need to call me sir."

"So, I'll call you Teacher Isolde?"

Isolde blinked, her shoulders tensing slightly. She hastily stuffed a handkerchief into her clothes. "Whatever."

After saying that, she quickly left the courtyard, leaving Lott alone.

Lott said softly, "She seems a bit like Chloris."

After Isolde walked away, he put down the wooden stick in his hand and prepared to go upstairs to take a bath.

He subconsciously opened the panel to see if there were any changes. Upon closer inspection, he found that the skill bar had indeed changed.

Valgard Swordsmanship (To be learned): 1%

Oh! The panel actually displays these things!

Lott felt that the beating he received this afternoon was worthwhile.

He can use this body to quickly master Valgard swordsmanship and bring it back to the real world, allowing his real self to also use this superb swordsmanship.

but……

Lotte looked at the name of the sword technique, feeling like he'd heard it somewhere before.

Where is it?

Lotte's eyes widened suddenly. He instinctively reached out to touch the words on the panel, but his hand passed right through them.

"No way... Valgard?!"

Lotte remembered Chloris mentioning this family before. Their family was the strongest swordsman among mankind, and they were usually stationed on the border to fight against Titans, dragons, and sirens.

Valgard has transcended the realm of ordinary wealthy families; it is one of the most prestigious hero families in the entire human society.

Lotte squatted on the ground, his mind in turmoil.

Isolde does indeed exist in the real world; she is not from another world.

Lotte kept thinking about the worst-case scenario—that he would eventually meet Isolde in reality.

As the sun gradually set, Lotte's shadow was already stretched onto the wall.

He stood up and shook his numb feet.

"The world is so big, we probably won't run into each other, right?"

There's no point in thinking about these things now, Lotte shook his head and suppressed the thought.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the temperature inside the hotel room gradually decreased.

The spacious room contained only one bed. In her previous life, Lott slept on the bed while Isolde slept on the floor, a decision she insisted on, which Lott had no choice but to make.

After taking a shower, Lotte lay on the bed, still looking at the names of the wealthy families on the panel, thinking about some things.

"Squeak~"

Isolde pushed open the door, carrying two bags in her hands.

One is tonight's dinner: bread and milk.

One was a thick stack of books.

"Teacher Isolde, what is this?"

Isolde was clearly not used to Lotte calling her that. She paused for a moment before explaining, "The spellbook. I need to learn magic."

"Are these sold in the city?"

In his previous life, even with money, Lotte couldn't buy such books of magical knowledge. These books were usually kept hidden within large families and never circulated outside.

Isolde shook her head. "No. I stole it. The Losweixin family in the city is a famous mage family. I stole it from them."

"..."

Lotte mentally gave Isolde a thumbs up.

He got out of bed and went to the table, his hand seemingly casually resting on the book, but his heart was already beginning to stir.

In reality, if you want to learn magic, you either need to hire a teacher from the Mage Guild or enroll in a Mage Academy.

Since Lott has refused to join the Mage Guild, he should theoretically never come into contact with spellbooks or learn proper magical knowledge in his lifetime.

But now, a magical book that even the Mage Guild could never obtain is in Lotte's hands.

"Teacher Isolde, may I read this book?"

Chapter 25 [Loswick's Analytical Technique]

Isolde looked up at the spellbook in Loth's hand, then rejected his offer.

"This won't do."

"Oh, I see."

Lotte released his grip and sat back down on the bed.

This is, after all, a simulation world, and he couldn't make his intentions too obvious, so he didn't choose to continue trying.

Isolde pulled a spellbook from the bottom of the pile of books on the table and pushed it to the side. "That one was 'General Treatise on Arcane Arts,' you couldn't understand it, so come and see this one."

"This one?"

“This is what the Los Wessin family teaches their children,” Isolde said casually. “Since you have no foundation, this is the best way to get started.”

"Teacher Isolde, with your abilities, you don't need to steal such a basic spellbook, do you? Did you bring it specifically for me?"

Isolde stopped turning the pages.

Her hair covered her eyes, so Lott couldn't see her reaction.

"I just stole it on the spur of the moment."

Lott suddenly felt that perhaps his personality was a bit awful, that he had to ask that question out of curiosity.

He didn't delve any further and sat down to flip through the magic book.

Losway's Basic Arcane Arts

The pages still exuded a faint fragrance, presumably having been steeped in aromatherapy in the Los Wessin family's library for a long time.

The first chapter details the basic principles and applications of magic.

After learning magic through a magic scroll, the magic formula will be completely imprinted on your soul.

The process of casting a spell involves using one's own magical power to create a complete magical incantation. Once the correct incantation is drawn, it is activated, and the magic is cast.

However, this process usually takes about 30 minutes and is not suitable for actual combat.

Fortunately, mages can continuously expend mental energy to fix the completed spells into [spell seals].

When casting a spell, you only need to activate the corresponding [spell sign] by chanting, which saves you from the process of reconstructing the spell formula and greatly shortens the casting time.

Maintaining each [spell seal] continuously consumes mental energy, therefore the number a mage can maintain is limited.

A mage of the [Awakened] level can only maintain a maximum of five [Spell Seals], and this number will gradually increase as the level increases.

In other words, the types of spells a mage can cast in a battle are limited. If a spell needs to be changed, 30 minutes of meditation is required to change the hand seal.

The lights in the room gradually came on, while Orlandis outside the window went dark.

Lotte closed the book and rubbed his sore neck.

Thanks to this book, Lott learned the basics of being a mage.

He opened the panel, wanting to see if learning the magic book would improve the panel.

It really does.

Lotte's panel has changed, and a brand new skill has appeared in the skill bar.

【Loswein Analysis Technique Lv.1 (32/500)】: Increases the speed at which magical knowledge is learned.
