Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard
Chapter 24 The Masked Man
With the last item purchased by Xia Jian, the auction officially came to an end.
"I'll take Leia back first, you can find a carriage to go back."
Having obtained the wizard's notes, Xia Jian couldn't wait to study them. He greeted Phyllis and climbed into the carriage.
Phyllis shook her head slightly upon seeing this.
He thought to himself that Xia Jian was indeed too young.
Although his identity is a mystery, he is essentially still a young man at heart.
Once you encounter something that transcends fantasy, you'll want to acquire its power at all costs.
However, based on his observation, it wouldn't be long before Xia Jian would give up this unrealistic fantasy.
After all, obtaining the power of a wizard is not that simple.
Moreover, it was just a notebook, something hyped up at an auction, and whether it had anything to do with wizards was another matter entirely.
…………
After returning home, Xia Jian immediately sent Leia to cultivate, even forgetting about Bi Tao Rui, and plunged into the house to study his notes.
Not long after, Xia Jian's face turned ashen, and he quickly picked up the wooden basin next to him.
Ugh~
Xia Jian couldn't help but start vomiting uncontrollably, and it took her a while to recover.
Looking at the wizard's notebook on the bed, Xia Jian's lips turned white and his head throbbed with pain. It felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through his mind.
Nobody told him that being literate would cause this kind of reaction!
I don't know what's wrong, but the more I try to understand the words and their meaning, the more I start to feel lethargic.
It was as if he had caught a bad cold out of nowhere, or as if countless ants were tearing at his mind. The discomfort was unbearable even for Natsume, a knight.
I opened my panel and looked at it. I didn't see any Motuo script in the skill bar. Obviously, just knowing a few characters wasn't enough to make the '+1' talent react.
but……
Xia Jian looked at the wizard's notebook, which was almost as thick as a dictionary.
Although each page only contains a few words, learning them all would be an excruciating experience for him.
Xia Jian is now completely baffled, utterly unable to understand how this font could possess such magic.
Moreover, the method of recognizing the Motuo script is extremely complicated, with hundreds of characters used to explain the meaning of a single character, which even Xia Jian found completely incomprehensible.
"Looks like we'll have to stick to the old method."
Xia Jian has considerable experience in literacy, after all, he had studied Holt German, although the level of difficulty was not the same.
However, the requirements for the "+1" talent are very low. As long as he can finish reading the contents and understand a little bit of the meaning, that's enough.
Then all you need to do is log in to the panel, and the '+1' talent will automatically complete his knowledge of the Motuo script.
Now...
Xia Jian felt he should take a break. The splitting headache made him feel like he was about to die, and if he continued studying, he probably would really die.
Summer then put away the wizard's notebook, climbed into bed, and fell into a deep sleep like a dead pig.
…………
……
late at night.
Just as Xia Jian was sleeping soundly, she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her neck.
Xia Jian suddenly opened his eyes and saw a person with a black cloth covering their face standing in front of the window, while the cold feeling came from the long sword held to his neck.
"Have mercy, sir!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Jian immediately began begging for mercy.
"Where is that wizard's notebook?"
A silvery female voice rang out from the masked man.
Xia Jian initially thought it was a home invasion robbery, but he didn't expect the other party to have come for the wizard's notes.
Phyllis said nobody wanted this thing, didn't she?
What's the situation now?
Not right.
Seeing that Xia Jian remained silent, the masked man brandished his longsword, leaving a bloody gash on Xia Jian's neck.
"Yes, yes, here it is!"
Xia Jian quickly answered, then pointed inside the bed.
"Give it to me. I only want that wizard's notebook. I won't do anything to you."
The masked man said softly.
There was nothing Xia Jian could do; his life was in their hands now, so he had no choice but to obediently comply.
Xia Jian then sat up shakily, pulled back the quilt underneath, and took out the heavy wizard's notebook.
Just as the masked man was slightly stunned by the wizard's notebook, Xia Jian suddenly smashed the longsword at his neck with the wizard's notebook, and then hurled the wizard's notebook at the masked man.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xia Jian rolled out of bed and picked up his sword.
The wizard's notebook fell to the ground, and the masked man stepped forward to take it, but how could Xia Jian let him have his way?
As he channeled his fighting spirit into his longsword, Xia Jian slashed at the masked man's face.
Seeing this, the masked man had no choice but to abandon the wizard's notebook and fight Natsumi with his sword in the small room.
After a fierce struggle, the masked man couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
She had already investigated Xia Jian's strength, but she didn't expect that he could fight her, a mid-level knight, to a standstill.
Xia Jian was equally shocked by the opponent's strength, which was definitely not something a novice knight could possess.
If the other party hadn't been unwilling to kill him, he would probably be lying on the ground by now.
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
Just then, Leia's voice came from outside the door.
The masked man frowned slightly. At that moment, he heard a noisy commotion nearby, as if the nearby residents had been awakened by the fighting.
Having lost interest in continuing the game, the masked man's longsword emitted a blue-white light, followed by a flash of blue sword light. The terrifying sword energy sent Xia Jian flying and crashing into the wall.
The masked man glanced at Xia Jian, then picked up the wizard's notebook from the ground and jumped out of the window.
Xia Jian wanted to retrieve the Wizard's Notebook, but as soon as he stood up, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Then his head started buzzing, followed by a strong feeling of dizziness.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Teacher, are you alright...?"
As he heard Leia crying beside him, Xia Jian's head lolled to the side and he fainted.
…………
……
The next day.
Xia Jian rubbed his head, frowned, and opened his eyes.
"Brother Xia, you're awake."
Phyllis's anxious voice rang in Xia Jian's ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound, besides Leia and Phyllis with their bloodshot eyes, there was also a man dressed in white.
"You should be fine now. You just need to rest and recover."
The man in white glanced at Xia Jian, then spoke to Phyllis.
"It's good that you're alright, thank you doctor."
Phyllis grasped the white-clad man's hand and thanked him repeatedly. She then saw him out of the room and, upon returning, inquired about the events of the previous day.
Xia Jian's mind was a complete mess at this moment. He tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday, and then suddenly sat up in bed.
"The Wizard's Notebook!"
At this moment, Xia Jian's face darkened, and he suddenly remembered that the wizard's notebook had been stolen!
