Chapter 10: Lorelei’s Secret Tome, Leaving Kyrenia

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An hour later, Hughes returned to the city.

Although it was only a day, Hughes still felt like it was a lifetime ago.

Danger lurked in the wild, the city was peaceful, and there were lights everywhere.

All of this gave Hughes a surreal feeling.

The next day.

After a good night’s sleep, Hughes felt like all the tiredness from yesterday had been swept away.

In the next few days, Hughes planned to skip school.

Because there were only a few days left before the college entrance examination, it was not very meaningful for him to go back to school.

Instead, he might as well study how to improve himself and then report to the Lach Academy of Magic in advance.

After casually making some food and eating, Hughes began to study a purple magic book beside him.

There were no words in this book, it was completely blank.

Initially, Hughes wanted to figure out how to use this thing on his own, but he tried many times and failed.

Helplessly, he could only open the attribute panel.

[Host: Hughes]

[Realm: High-level mage (Low-level)]

[Magic attributes: Light Magic (SS), Dark Magic (SS)]

[Mana points: None]

[Magic: Chained light arrows (intermediate), light sword of punishment (beginner), ignorance (beginner)]

[Contracted Magical Beast: None]

[Magic Tool: Lorelei’s secret tome]

He clicked on Lorelei’s secret tome in the magic tool panel.

[Lorelei’s secret tome: You can draw a magic array on it and charge it. It will release magic. There is no upper limit to the magic array that can be drawn on to Lorelei’s secret tome]

[Note: Do not damage it, do not give it away, do not rob it]

“Oh? Is that so?”

After reading the system’s introduction, Hughes picked up Lorelei’s secret tome with more questions than before.

Looking at Lorelei’s secret tome in his hands, Hughes flipped to the first page.

Then, according to the few magic arrays in his mind, he began to use magic power to draw on them.

Soon, the magic arrays were finished.

Looking at the finished pages, Hughes tried to add magic power into Lorelei’s secret tome.

But Lorelei’s secret tome did not appear to have changed. Instead, he used up all the magic power in his mind.

Hughes didn’t believe it, he immediately began to meditate and recover his magic power.

An hour later, Hughes finished recovering his magic power.

Then, he started pouring mana into Lorelei’s secret tome again.

Unfortunately, this time, he still did not fully fill Lorelei’s secret tome.

Not believing it, Hughes kept repeating his actions into Lorelei’s secret tome.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Hughes finally felt the terror of Lorelei’s secret tome.

Because he had already poured it in no less than 20 times, but Lorelei’s secret tome was still not saturated.

Therefore, he gave up. He could not hold on any longer.

For a full 24 hours, he did not do anything but meditate. Then, he injected his mana into Lorelei’s secret tome.

But now, he was not very sleepy because he spent most of the time yesterday in meditation.

“Ring, ring!”

Just when Hughes wanted to go out of the city to test the power of Lorelei’s secret tome, the phone suddenly rang.

“Ms. Kate?”

Hughes took the phone and asked.

On the other end of the phone, Kate said, “Hughes, have you read the information I sent you? It hasn’t been leaked, right?”

“Information?”

Hughes was slightly stunned when he heard Kate’s words.

“Yes, it’s about the route of your trip. Take a look in advance.”

“Didn’t you receive it?” Kate asked, puzzled.

In the past few days, Hughes had either been out killing demon beasts or working on Lorelei’s secret tome. How could he have time to look at his phone.

After hearing Kate’s words, Hughes opened his email and saw the route Carter had mentioned.

“You! You must pay attention to the combination of work and rest during cultivation.”

“You must not overwork yourself, Greece wasn’t built in a day.”

Kate reminded him over the phone.

“Okay, I got it, Ms. Kate.”

“Ms. Kate, I plan to go to the Lach Academy tomorrow.”

As soon as Hughes finished speaking, Kate was suddenly delighted. Then she said, “This is a good thing. After all, that place in Kyrenia is too backward. You won’t be able to get a good promotion anywhere.”

“After you arrive at the Lach Academy of Magic, you can directly report to the dormitory. I’ll contact you when I return to the Lach Academy of Magic.”

Then, the two of them chatted for a while before hanging up.

After hanging up, Hughes looked at the route map that Kate had sent him.

It turned out that the high-speed train to the Lach Academy of Magic was through the wilderness.

Although the high-speed rail had already avoided most of the places where demon beasts roamed, there were still some blind demon beasts that would crash into it during the journey.

In order to prevent these specially recruited students from dying at the feet of the demon beasts, the Lach Academy of Magic had specially opened up a safe route.

However, this route had been secretly created, so only the people from the Lach Academy of Magic could use it.

The reason why it was not allowed to be leaked was probably that the Lach Academy of Magic did not want to argue with ordinary people or the higher-ups.

Hughes quickly memorized the road map and then deleted it.

The next day, the high-speed railway station in Kyrenia.

This was an important transportation hub that connected most of the regions. The daily flow of people reached tens of thousands!

Therefore, the security around was very strict. There were rows of soldiers with guns that were patrolling back and forth.

Above the high-speed railway station, a rune that was emitting a huge energy wave was standing on it.

It was a magical scanning eye built by a high-level mage. It could scan the real identities of everyone in the station.

Even if there were mimicry beasts mixed in, they would issue a warning immediately!

On the other side, Hughes, who had entered the high-speed railway station, began to queue up to enter the train.

Through the glass, he could see the huge train that was parked on the tracks outside.

The train was about two to three hundred meters long. Its entire body was black, and its surface was plated with a metallic luster.

Among them, the most eye-catching parts were the head and tail of the train.

On both sides of the train, there were huge triangular alloy supports made of sharp blades!

If one looked carefully, one could see the mysterious runes and traces of blood surrounding the sharp blades.

That was the high-speed rail’s unique railhead.

It was specifically used to deal with demonic beasts blocking the middle of the track.
