God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 143 The Cursed Music of the Library
The freshman's practical exam ended without any surprises.Although this has nothing to do with Ed, who is in the second grade, it is precisely because this time is different from the usual routine that it also makes those newly enrolled geniuses vigilant!
Maybe it's because of the upcoming ballroom dance at Merlin Academy.But Ed has been unusually quiet these days.Other magic can be put aside, but the key is the six-level spiritual cultivation magic and spiritual shaping.This magic is the most important of the spiritual magic. Since he learned it by accident, how could Ed let him just glimpse into the realm of the door?
Between the hands, the mass of mental power condensed into substance under the effect of magic.This is already the third day of training, and the sixth-level spiritual shaping has advanced to the realm of rough understanding, but Ed is still very dissatisfied with his progress.

Do you still want to ask Nicole for advice?Ed is not sure, the way of thinking, understanding of spiritual power, and spiritual purity are different.These have become the reasons why spiritual magic is difficult to learn from.

"Ed, are you there? I'm here to find you."

At this time, Nicole suddenly opened the door and came in.

"Oh? You're not angry with me anymore?" Ed smiled.Since the beginning of school, this girl came to her room for the first time.Now I just thought of her... Is this a tacit understanding?
Nicole's pretty face blushed slightly, but she said expressionlessly: "I came here this time to find you to solve some things. Ed, you must have heard that there are some people in the school library now. Some kind of inexplicable curse?"

When Ed heard it, he really remembered what he heard today. Now that Nicole asked him for help, he would naturally not refuse.

※※※

The library of Merlin College is located on the west side of the main teaching building of magic.Just like all libraries, once you step in here, you will be greeted with a smell of paper!Anyone who comes here will feel peaceful.Even the superimposition of the double spiritual magic of three levels of refreshment and elimination of hostility (to appease the spirit) seems to be unable to keep up with this naturally peaceful place.

Facing him, some teaching assistants were already waiting here.Ai De didn't talk nonsense and directly asked the card above. "Is it the teaching assistants who manage the library? Since you are looking for me, can you tell me what happened in this place?"

The few people looked at each other, and a girl wearing glasses at the head spoke. "Speaking of it, it's not a big deal. Hehe, everyone who enters the library will consciously keep quiet, but there are some people who like to meet their lovers here..."

"Let's get to the point." Ed said with a dark face.After all, he didn't come here to listen to stories.

"It's like this. Almost everyone who comes here will feel some inexplicable fluctuations in the magic power of curses. Some small curses are very common. The key is that sometimes they will receive some inexplicable buffs..."

"Oh? So this curse is probably arranged by a certain librarian?"

The girl with glasses showed a slight embarrassment on her face: "We thought so too at first. But recently, the curse seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer the category of small pranks..."

"So do you have any clues?"

"Every time there are curses and buffs, there will be a burst of music from the music box. But the library itself has a magic circle that isolates the sound, and we can't figure out where the sound is coming from..."

Ed was depressed.Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?At this time, a burst of music suddenly floated in the air.The sound is crisp and pleasant, like a dripping clear spring slowly flowing into everyone's ears!If it was just like this, it would not have aroused anyone's vigilance, but Ed, who was concentrating on curse magic, suddenly felt that there was indeed a strong wave of curse magic in this beautiful ding-dong music!

The sound of the music is beautiful, but it fluctuates with a curse, but it shows an unprecedented atmosphere and solemnity!
At this moment, Ed was in a daze.To refine spiritual magic, he had long put the curse aside.But he never thought that the magic fluctuations of the curse could be so majestic, even decent!
Suddenly, the beautiful music stopped!Ed turned around suddenly, only to find that he had gone deep into the library.There was no one around.After waiting for a long time, the music stopped playing.

How is this going?Could it be that this cursed music is attracting me?

Ed was contemplating, but began to look at the books around him.Looking at the introductions on those bookshelves, the collection here should be some books on the history of Merlin College.Because it was so boring, almost no one came to borrow it.In the end, Ed's eyes stayed on a book introducing the history of the college ten years ago.

Walking to the reading table next to him, Ed opened the book. In the preface of the book, he saw a line of beautiful but very messy small words: "Love is always accompanied by betrayal. Justice is The most stupid behavior in the world. In front of love, the so-called justice is just an excuse for betrayal..."

Who left this behind?With such doubts, Ed continued to read the book.As everyone said, this type of book is really boring!Some fragmentary introductions of important events, mixed with a large number of praises, but the growth experience of those outstanding talents, there is almost no description!

Ed had a headache. Originally, he just wanted to put this broken book back on the shelf after flipping through it hastily.But just as he was about to rewind the last few pages of the book, an introduction caught Ed's attention again!No reason is explained, nor is there any literary embellishment.But it clearly stated: "In the year of Magic Era 2552 (11 years ago), Lukas Bender, an instructor of earth magic combat and theory class, was expelled from the school because of having an improper relationship with a student."

The words!Headmaster Lucas's surname is Bender, and Ed has known it for a long time.But he really didn't understand how a teacher who was expelled from the school because of a mistake could return to the school and also serve as the principal?Ed searched again and again, except for this one, he didn't find anything related to this matter!

After closing the book, Ed had many doubts in his mind, but he had a deeper understanding of his experience of disappearing magic inexplicably in the tryst mansion.The only thing that can cause the magic power to disappear is probably the legendary eighth-level cursed eternal shackles.But what puzzled Ed very much was that the premise of releasing the magic was at the cost of his own life.A few days ago, he also saw Lucas taking care of the new freshmen with a happy face. It didn't look like he had released the kind of magic that harmed others and benefited himself!

Ed doubtfully inserted the book back into the shelf.When he looked up, he suddenly found a strange place!Although there is nothing on the huge bookshelf, there is a small old clay sculpture on the top facing the summer vacation!The library of the Academy of Magic has naturally arranged a large number of dust removal circles, which means that this thing is likely to be placed here for many years.

The fifth-level wind magic levitation technique supported Ed to slowly leap up as if in a vacuum.But the moment his fingers touched the clay sculpture.A burst of red light was suddenly released from the clay sculpture!That force is majestic and dignified, just like the moral fluctuations I felt in that music before!
did you find it?Ed was thinking, but for some reason, a few things suddenly floated out of the storage ring in his left hand!A small silver bell, a chrysalis pendant, and a crystal ball with a small room, the three cursed props on him, all came out!
The red light flickered, and the three props were also stained with a layer of red light!Ed didn't know what happened, but he clearly felt the magic fluctuations on the three props!No, this item is going to release all the curses contained in my three items!
Ed was shocked, he immediately went up to cover it!The cursed sanctuary attached to the silver bell, he has the reverse of the cursed domain.Although he hasn't learned the Curse of the Trapped Dragon yet, he can also try to reverse it!But only that cursed house...

All of a sudden, the red light released by the clay sculpture flourished!Before Ed could make any movements, he was immediately swept in by the red light.

※※※

The gray and white houses, the transparent windows, and the surrounding fences all seem to reveal a crystal light.That's right, it is indeed in front of the cursed house, although Ed has never carefully observed the newly acquired props.But he recognized that whether it is wood or glass here, they are all made of a cursed magic stone called crystal white stone.

"Haha, you sucked me into a cursed house that didn't have a personal imprint? Did you know that this gave me a chance to learn new curse magic?"

Spreading his palms, Ed couldn't help talking to himself.The house of the curse, the magic it relies on, apart from the seventh-level spiritual magic real illusion, only the seventh-level curse magic reduction technique.But now he didn't even learn the Curse of the Trapped Dragon, how could he dare to cross the skill tree and learn magic indiscriminately?The light green magic power in his hands is slowly flowing.It can be imagined that these magic powers are the magic power of the reduction technique.But Ed didn't care about the magic at all, and walked directly to the gate of the mansion.

Next to the door, there was a red newspaper box. When Ed opened it, he found a little cloth bear doll inside.

After seeing Ed's face, the two button eyes of the cloth bear toy actually glowed red!Then it opened its big mouth full of fangs, and sang strangely:
"Fifteen men climbed onto Dead Man's Chest, ho-ho-ho-and a big bottle of rum..."

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Ed's forehead.This world has a long history, but there is also a magical version of the story of Treasure Island.But Ed didn't quite understand.This is obviously land, why does this little bear sing a song about the island?

Regardless, he pulled the knocker on the door of the House of the Damned.A huge wave just gushed out without warning!In an instant, Ed turned into a complete drowned chicken.
