Chapter 5 Can I really not sleep?

After Ringer went to bed, Ovela suppressed the urge to yawn with great willpower, and the force of the pen was much lighter. The rustling sound made when the tip of the pen stroked across the soft paper was no longer the sound of the instrument, but rather like the wind stroking the leaves, setting off the peaceful sleep of the night.

The lights were turned off in the room, and only the princess's lantern was still burning on the table, emitting swaying candlelight, opening up a slight light in the dark night. Ovela illuminated the paper she wrote and the thick books beside her, and recorded the content word by word, while carefully not making too much noise, for fear of affecting the quality of sleep of young people.

But Linger found that she couldn't sleep.

This has nothing to do with Ovela, mainly because his mind is in a very clear state at this moment, without any sleepiness. When he closes his eyes, his thinking will sink into the vast sea of ​​ether, and sees the ancient and majestic sacred trees standing in the sea, enduring the waves that have hit the reefs for thousands of years. The mottled marks that have washed away look like moss climbing, deep and distant.

Two fruits hang on the branches, like two dim stars, one of which symbolizes the shepherd's path [premonition], while the other is a magic from the scholar's path sequence 9 [Agile Thinking]. As the name suggests, this magic can make people's thinking more agile, strengthen their ability to adapt and react, and gain more outstanding talents in logical work such as speeches, debates, narrations, and records.

Linger learns this magic to replace the scholar's path to the Envoy [Carefulness]. It can effectively improve his future learning of magic. Among all the magic of Sequence 9, it is considered a relatively practical category. Perhaps only the magic of Sequence 9 [Cold Weapon Mastery] in Sequence 9 can be more practical than it. Unfortunately, the materials of that magic are not enough and the potions cannot be adjusted for the time being.

As the tide rises and falls of the Ethereal Sea, star-like light spots float out of the sea and float towards the big tree. A small part of them merges into the magic fruits of [Agile Thinking], and most of them pass through the branches and leaves, disappearing.

Those are the magic powers that wander in the world, which can only be seen by those who have awakened their spirituality, but can only be seen in the sea of ​​ether. If you want to capture their existence with the naked eye, you may need a more special method.

Linge watched this scene quietly. He didn't know how long it took to find that he was still not sleepy, but instead became extremely clear-headed. Could it be the side effect of drinking the potion? He thought for a while, then lifted the quilt and stood up, walked to the table, and sat down opposite Ovela.

"Um?" The princess, who was burying her head, raised her head in a daze, her eyes dazzled, as if she was still in a dream: "Lin...Ge? Didn't you say, ha ~ didn't you say you were going to bed?"

Because the young man was right in front of her, she yawned without hesitation, rubbed the corners of her sleepy eyes, and Hanhu muttered in confusion: "Are you going to get up, come, huh, come and stay up with me?"

Therefore, magicians need to combine their own knowledge and understanding, use rational thinking methods and clear thinking logic to find rules from these complex and changing routes, and then guide magic with spirituality so that they can smoothly pass through the maze and reach the end point.

Linger is now in the first step of "finding rules". Even with the blessing of [Agile Thinking], he can eliminate most of the wrong routes at a glance, but the constantly changing maze inside still caused him great trouble. He spent an hour and a half until the effect of the magic [Agile Thinking] disappeared, and the analysis progress may not necessarily reach one percent.

No wonder Saint Charlie said that the magic system has high requirements for individual quality.

Of course, it is also possible that I have just become a magician and have not adapted to his power.

Linger shook her head slightly and decided to take a break first. After all, the magic of [Agile Thinking] has failed, and the thinking of the brain is almost reaching its limit. If you continue to analyze it, it is likely that you will get half the result with twice the effort. Young people deeply understand the principle of combining work and rest.

Speaking of which, isn't it a bit too quiet?

The rustling sound of the pen tip passing through the paper, the untuned humming sound, and the faint sound of breathing that a certain princess was approaching Chi Chi, seemingly disappearing?

Did Ovela leave the room?

Linge opened his eyes in confusion and found that the princess was still sitting opposite her. She was not copying books, but folded her hands on the books. She sat in a regular manner like a fifth-grade elementary school student in St. Lowu German School. She stared at herself with bright eyes. When she got up to him, she shrank her head and then plucked up her courage and said hesitantly: "Well, Linge, why don't you...you'd better go back and sleep?" Lan

Lingge didn't expect that the princess who was most afraid of loneliness and darkness would take the initiative to persuade her to fall asleep. She was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why?"

"Because," Ovela lowered her head, listless: "I heard Metion say that staying up late is not good for health. I am used to it, but you are not used to it. If you stay up late with me, you will be very tired tomorrow. So, go back to sleep, just stay here alone."

It is wrong to let others be hurt by their willfulness and stubbornness. This is the simplest cognition of the princess.

Linger did not answer. He quietly looked at the princess who lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. After a while, he spoke softly. His always calm expression seemed to have become much softer under the candlelight: "It's okay."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"I couldn't sleep at first."

In this dark night, in the vast and unfamiliar city, people are such a small existence. Compared to the endless dream world that can be obtained after sleeping, they seem to be incredibly humble, so they sometimes feel scared and difficult to fall asleep, which is a matter of course.

Two insomnia accompany each other only for comfort, not sympathy or mercy.

The princess slowly raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her with a surprised and suspicious look. She saw a soft glow and gentle encouragement in his eyes. She was only to be sure that he had not deceived her. She gradually smiled and pointed her little head hard.

"kindness!"
