My front door leads to a comic strip

"Crackling and popping!"

A sudden downpour swept through the city.

In the room arranged by the priest, Milie Alde sat at the desk, intently analyzing the magic book.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind her, and she paused slightly with her pen.

squeak-

The wooden door was pushed open.

"You're back."

She spoke without turning her head, completely immersed in the world of magic.

A cold wind, carrying raindrops, ruffled her hair; she casually smoothed her loose silver hair.

"How was the haul? Was that statue valuable?"

"How many magical items did you change?"

Click.

Gu Yuan folded his umbrella and went inside.

He shook the water droplets from his hair, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit the torches around him one by one.

The dim firelight flickered inside the room, dispelling some of the gloom.

He raised his head slightly and replied in a calm tone, "It's alright. Since it's a one-time use prop, I only changed one."

Although I wanted to change into more clothes, this is a church after all, and God might be watching. It's best to stop while you're ahead.

Upon hearing this, Miliearde put down her quill and slowly turned around.

She stared intently at Gu Yuan, nodding with a rather serious tone:

"One? That's not bad. At least you, who possess the sacred object, don't need the protection of a statue."

As she spoke, she noticed the round glasses frame in front of Gu Yuanyou's eyes, with a silver rope hanging from his collar.

"This is……"

Gu Yuan strolled towards Miliarde at a leisurely pace.

He smiled slightly and nodded in response, "You noticed? Not bad, this is my new magical artifact."

He raised his hand to adjust his glasses, a hint of emotion in his voice.

"I never imagined that monocles still existed in this day and age."

Considering that the goddess is the creator goddess and did not originally belong to this world, it is reasonable that some products from other worlds were accidentally discovered by the natives.

The effect of these glasses is that they allow you to clearly see the trajectory of moving objects.

It's completely useless for ordinary people and monks, because even if they can see it, they may not be able to avoid it.

But for the warriors, this is also the reason why Gu Yuan made his choice.

Millie Alde frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt.

"Glasses?"

This is yet another word I've never heard of before.

Just as she was about to press for further information, Gu Yuan gathered his thoughts, took half a step forward, and explained:

"Of course, although it's called glasses, it's really just a frame. No one in this era can make transparent glass yet."

The absence of glass is actually a good thing, since you don't have to worry about it being suddenly broken.

After glancing at the words on the paper in front of Millie Alde, Gu Yuan exhaled and continued:

"Let's not talk about that anymore; you'll see its effects for yourself in the future."

"How's the magic research going? When do we set off?"

Although it was raining outside, it didn't affect our actions.

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Milie Alde had no choice but to pull herself back from her reverie. She turned back to her book, her tone unhurried:

"Tomorrow, perhaps. The analysis of the magic will take time."

"Fortunately, this book was written decades ago, so it wasn't too difficult for me to read."

"Otherwise... I've heard that each of those ancient texts from the mythological era would take more than five years to analyze."

Indeed, it took Frillie six years to analyze a spellbook that was suspected to be related to the resurrection of the dead.

"Tomorrow? That's fine."

Gu Yuan was about to look away when he suddenly remembered something important. He kept his eyes on the book, then changed the subject.

Who is the author of this book?

There are only a handful of magicians in the world, and anyone who can write and publish a book in this era must be extremely famous.

really.

As Millie Alde uttered a few words, a look of understanding appeared on Gu Yuan's face.

"...Seria?"

She's incredibly famous; she's the strongest fighter in the world, second only to goddesses.

He is proficient in all magic throughout history and is thousands of years old.

It is no exaggeration to say that she alone could destroy the current unified empire.

These books were actually written by her?

"What, you know him?"

Millie Alde noticed the expression on Gu Yuan's face, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

She has not yet been exposed to the wider world, so naturally she doesn't know Celie, even though they are both elves.

Gu Yuan nodded, his words mumbled indistinctly:

"I guess you could say we know each other. Anyway, keep up the good work, and I look forward to the day when you can fully understand and master this book."

At this moment, related memories surged forth.

If he remembered correctly, Celia should live near the central continent, and Frilian's house was in that direction as well.

I don't know if I'll ever meet him in the future. Becoming his apprentice might not be realistic, but it would be nice to get some magic books for free.

"Strange humans..."

Millie Alde muttered to herself, "What does 'consider' mean?"

She gently shook her head, quickly banishing these thoughts from her mind, and plunged back into the analysis, finding it increasingly profound and unfathomable.

"Clatter".

Gu Yuan slowly retreated and left the room.

If she can learn the magic created by Celie, her strength will definitely increase significantly.

In this way, even if we encounter a demon stronger than Shaton in the future, we will no longer have to be afraid.

When Gu Yuan returned to his residence, he took off his glasses, rubbed his aching temples, and felt dizzy.

This thing is good, but it has a fatal flaw: wearing it for a long time can cause mental fatigue.

The torrential rain has turned into this in just a short while...

"While it might be due to the rain being too fast, too heavy, and too concentrated, in any case..."

Gu Yuan paused, then frowned, remembering the possibility that he might have fallen asleep during the battle.

"One hour, the wearing time must absolutely not exceed one hour, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

It can only be said that becoming stronger is relative.

Defeating some monsters and demons is nothing compared to the power of national institutions.

Seeing through a rainstorm is no skill at all.

Only by sheltering from a downpour can one truly enter a grand space; that is the epitome of elegance and strength.

"We still need to keep working hard."

With this in mind, and in order to gain the corresponding strength, Gu Yuan continued to huff and puff as he trained in his room.

Evening arrived quickly. He rubbed his stiff muscles, took out a piece of equipment, and did a small test.

Grip strength—Bang!

150 kg.

"?"

"It's only been half a month and it's already doubled? This level..."

Gu Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Although he knew that such an improvement was basically due to Miliade's magic...

Time and again I overcome fatigue, time and again I push myself to the limit, but no matter what…

"This is cheating, but I like it."

After all, it was the result of his own hard work, and the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly, with a happy smile on his lips.

If it's like this for half a month, what will it be like after a year?

Combined with magical items...

"I wonder if I'll be able to avoid eating beef then..."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly. This was the true elevation of the ideal.

All my hard work has been worthwhile.

Extraordinary achievements are within reach.
