Game time am07:01

Southern Innocence Continent, Crystal Town, Sixth Floor of the Mages Guild, Private Laboratory Zero

A hazy white light flashed, and a slender figure appeared out of thin air between two rows of bookshelves, sinking into a pile of soft cushions.

"Huha, the recent biological clock seems a bit too normal~"

The girl with long orange hair yawned and stretched, then raised her little hand to straighten her glasses that were tilted to the side of her chin. She huddled up on the mat in a feline-like manner and muttered in a low voice:

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

forty minutes later

"It's better not to do it!"

The girl who unknowingly buried herself in the cushion stretched her body, stood up lightly with the help of two warm winds, grabbed the nearby robe that was hung on the earth element stake, and draped it over her shoulders.

Slowly walking out from between the two rows of bookshelves, she complained with a somewhat unhappy expression: "So, it's been almost a month, and it's time to crawl back... It's time to crawl back... She should be blamed

As expected of Ana’s good friends, each one is more unreliable than the other!”

An outsider, a high-level mage of all series, a trainee astrologer, the proposer of the "Conjecture about the Interaction of Same Elements", an eternal friend of the Fire Claw Clan, a rare genius beauty in the wizarding world for a thousand years, the 21st in the ranking of combat effectiveness in the Innocence Realm,

Futaba, ranked 77th in the overall strength rankings, covered his forehead and paced in this extremely spacious laboratory.

The soft and melodious sound of wind chimes lingered in the air. Crystal balls of different colors wandered near the ceiling, flashing at a comfortable frequency. The incense that helps to concentrate was burning quietly in the corner.

The purple thin smoke weaves groups of patterns in the mid-air as if they are alive. They are star maps that can only be observed from the northern part of the Sinless Continent. They sway in front of the false starry sky that appears from time to time in the mid-air.

It then quietly dissipated behind that layer of magic projection, and would not appear again until a certain moment hours or dozens of days later.

This is the highest-standard laboratory among all the mage guilds in the southern part of the continent, and for an astrologer, its value is multiplied by an unknown number of times.

Laboratory Zero of the Mage Guild of Crystal Town, also known as ‘Diana A. Azizolti’s Astrology Laboratory’, is a holy place that can make all mages who painstakingly study the school of astrology jealous to the point of bursting with envy.

In the past twenty-three days, this 'holy place' that no one else could enter even with money had almost completely become Futaba's private property because the owner was away.

For an apprentice who is new to astrology, this is simply a frightening waste.

If the matter is publicized, I am afraid that 80% of the astrologers in the entire Innocence Continent will think so, and the remaining 10% will seriously go off topic and think about whether this little girl is the illegitimate daughter of Master Diana...

But this is unscientific! Because Master Diana A. Azizolti is less than thirty years old this year! It is impossible to have such an illegitimate daughter in any case!

However, it is also possible that she is the illegitimate daughter of Grand Magister Ana Ta Rasha. After all, many people know that Grand Magister Tal Rasha and Master Achizolti have a very close personal relationship. Their relationship is as close as that of biological sisters.

Still want to kiss.

It has to be said that this level of speculation is quite reasonable, because although Futaba is not Tal Rasha's illegitimate daughter, the intimacy between the two is not much different from that of her own family.

"What should I do today~"

Futaba lazily sat down in front of the experimental table, casually opening the crystal ball, stargazer, and calculation paper in front of him, holding his chin and thinking boredly.

Her appearance at this moment is similar to that when she lived in Tal Rasha's laboratory in the Violet Empire, which is a three-piece set of suspenders, shorts and stockings, and other equipment is scattered in the laboratory.

Various places in the place, but because the owner here is also a bit slovenly, it does not cause too much sense of disobedience. The [Critical Mass] robe of epic quality, Shuangye, is always draped on the shoulders like a thin quilt.

Its purpose is just to make it easier for her to doze off at any time. In short, it is to be as lazy as she wants.

"It's better to play divination..."

After being stunned for a while, Futaba casually took out a set of extremely finely crafted rectangular playing cards, and created a small-scale elemental storm between his fingers, directly exploding the set of cards made of unknown materials.

Up to heaven.

[Tell me what Ana Ta Rasha is doing at this moment.]

Futaba muttered something silently in her heart, and then waved her hand. Three cards that had not had time to fall slowly floated in front of her driven by an invisible force, while dozens of other cards were struck by a black spell that flickered in mid-air.

The array sucked it in and stacked it into a pile again.

"Shuanghua, the knight and the white dove?"

Futaba ruffled his hair, and said with a twitching smile: "What the hell? Will she set off on horseback this month to maintain world peace? Or is she currently bombarding the knights of the Whispering Sect in Sumir?

What does this special meow have to do with white pigeons? Hmm... It seems reasonable to bomb indiscriminately for the sake of peace. No, it's impossible. Ana should be at Sala Moon at the moment.

The Mages Guild..."

"The combination of these three cards has no meaning. Divining what you know will never give you the correct answer."

A soft and sweet voice sounded in Futaba's ears. The latter quickly looked back and found that a woman had appeared behind him, a very beautiful woman.

She has long, messy flaxen hair, fair skin, wears a long silver robe, has a pretty and cute baby face, wears rather heavy-looking round-rimmed glasses, and has a pair of aqua blue eyes.

He was carefully studying the three cards in Futaba's hand.

"Diana?!"

Futaba's eyes widened in surprise, and then he suddenly leaned back on the chair, raised his little face and pouted: "Why are you coming back now? You clearly agreed to be my temporary mentor and recommender.

, but you didn’t teach me for half a month and you ran north, isn’t it a bit irresponsible!”

The owner of Laboratory Zero smiled apologetically and reached out to touch Futaba's hair: "There was a little accident on the way..."

Her name is Diana A. Azizolti. She is a dual-study magister of the arcane school and the water element school. She is also one of the only three astrologers in the contemporary era. She just turned 29 two months ago.

At the age of 10, he is the heir to the "Stars" line of the Achizolti family, a mage family. He hit it off with Ana Ta Rasha ten years ago and became close friends. Two months ago, he was invited by the latter to go to the Salamoun Mage Guild.

He also agreed to teach Tal Rasha astrology as a temporary tutor and brought the latter back to Mercury Town.

By the way, his cousin's name is Kenneth A. Achizolti. He is 40 years old this year. He is a big figure resident in the General Assembly of the Mages Guild in the City of Miracles. He became one of the twelve members of the Parliament of Truth three years ago.

The ninth one on the list, known as the "Sage of the Fog Moon", is the heir of the "Crescent Moon" lineage of the Achizolti family, and can be called a genius among geniuses.

It is precisely because of such a relationship, and Futaba herself is very interested in astrology, that Ta Rasha hopes that her good friend Diana can temporarily teach her for a period of time and serve as a recommender when the time is right.

Send the latter to the City of Miracles for further studies.

And Futaba did not disappoint Ta Rasha. It only took her less than thirty minutes to fool the innocent Diana into a cripple, and easily brought this academically minded lady to full favorability.

Deeply loved by Diana.

As for the specific method, it's not complicated at all, it's just smart.

Unlike Ana Ta Rasha, who dislikes socializing but is not unsociable, Diana is a strange and talented woman who can hardly hold anything unrelated to academic knowledge in her head. She spends most of her life using

In terms of studying knowledge, she didn’t even have a friend with whom she could chat normally before she met Ana. Laboratory Zero in Crystal Town and the big library in the City of Miracles were her home, and those mysterious and obscure magic formulas and theorems were her home.

Her partner, Diana, devoted almost everything to magic and the starry sky. Her only hobby...or her only hobby in the past was to understand the endless magical mysteries and constantly challenge those who would never know.

The obscure subject of the end.

As for the rest, Diana didn't care and didn't want to care.

Until ten years ago, by chance, Ana Ta Rasha solved a problem that had troubled Diana for half a year, and applied the derived conclusions to two cases that Diana had seen.

This incident completely subverted the latter's world view. After that, Diana, who felt that Tal Rasha might have some special skills, pestered him for half a year, but in the end he got it. Mainly because

You are too boring, which is why you have a rigid thinking and a lack of broad vision.'

Later, in order to make her horizons as broad as Ana's, Diana ran to the former's side every two days. As soon as she went back and forth, she was led astray by Ana.

However, despite being a "bad guy," Diana's character has not changed much, and her academic enthusiasm remains the same as before, except...

"Accident?"

Futaba rolled her eyes and couldn't help but vomited: "Teacher Diana, what kind of accident could you encounter? Could it be that your persistence in finding a boyfriend moved God and met you on the way to see the stars?

Mr. Right?"

It was obvious that the girl was just joking, it was the kind of joke that came out of her mouth without thinking, and she didn't even take it seriously.

but......

"Um."

However, after being stunned for two seconds, Diana showed a smile filled with happiness. Under Futaba's stunned gaze, she nodded with a reddish face and said, "I... did meet a very interesting person.

.”

"wtf?!"

Futaba almost fell off the chair in shock. You must know that she is very aware of how unfavorable her temporary mentor is to the opposite sex. Although she is quite beautiful, her almost fanatical researcher's heart is enough to make her

The vast majority of people of the opposite sex (or even the same sex) with limited knowledge are daunted by this. Moreover, in the field in which Diana is good at, at least 99% of the people in the entire continent can be collectively called "limited knowledge". In addition, the age gap cannot

There are basically only a few people left who are too old, have good looks and substance, are male, and are still alive.

Although Futaba was confident that she could win over Diana even though she was a man, this was also based on her understanding of the latter and her existing knowledge base, so she really couldn't imagine who he was.

It makes Diana look so happy just talking about it.

[It can’t be that she had a twilight love affair with some great sage who was so old that he was half dead in the grave, right? 】

Futaba, whose eyes were twitching, had such a thought flashing through his mind subconsciously.

But Diana didn't notice Futaba's shock at all. She just lowered her eyes with red cheeks and stared blankly. Sometimes she raised the corners of her mouth sweetly, and sometimes she mumbled something in a low voice, as if she was a girl in love.

It's still so deep that it's almost completely hopeless.

"Well...I feel like it's springtime just being next to you, dear Diana."

Futaba sighed. She knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, because the beautiful girl with glasses in front of her, who was famous for her brain in the mage world, had obviously completely lost her brain, so she gave up what she had prepared before.

Those who talk about "knowing people but not knowing their hearts" are insinuating: "Now, tell me, what kind of person is your mistress? Why did you ignore my mentor Diana...

.Well, you are so obsessed with this kind of virtue?"

Futaba, who never minds speculating on others with the utmost malice, has already preconceived the idea that the other person is not a good person.

Diana's eyes were blurred: "He...is a very gentle person."

[How could God’s almighty Asasi appear in a place like this?!]

Futaba rolled her eyes, took Diana's hand and led her to a chair to sit down, and asked softly: "What else?"

"He...he is also very talented, very humorous, and very...very good at taking care of others."

Diana murmured in her sweet voice, tilted her head and smiled happily: "Apart from Ana, this is the first time I have been so amused. He always knows what I want.

.”

[Well, it sounds like I met a scumbag...]

Futaba sighed in his heart, and a reflection flashed on the lenses: "So, Diana, have you ever talked to him about any more in-depth topics? For example, the eighteen uses of compressing negative energy, and anchoring in alien planes.

Theory, rich element sets in extreme environments, etc.?”

"Well, yes, you know I always talk about those things subconsciously..."

Diana pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then smiled sweetly: "But he is very patient, and never mind me telling him these things, and sometimes he also puts forward many wonderful ideas, even Ana and I

Ideas that I had never thought of. Although not professional, they inspired me a lot. He said he was very happy to help me..."

【This is a bit interesting...could it be...】

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, but she did not stop. She just conjured an earth element stone mound out of thin air and sat opposite Diana with a smile.

"Now, dear Diana, maybe that person is really suitable for you, so... you might as well tell me a little more about that person~"
