Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 261: Three Old Books Part Two

Mei, still confused as to what was going on, looked at the three books in her hand. Each one seemingly falling apart at first glance. But to her surprise, they were actually quite sturdy. She placed the books into her space before deciding to find a place to change her appearance. Luckily there was an inn not too far away. 

She rented a room and entered her space. When she entered she could hear an argument going on. Leroi and Frey seemed to be arguing about something in front of the cottage. "Give those back! This great dragon will spank you if you do not give them back!" 

"No! Mother put these in here for Frey! Frey will read them first!" Frey glared at Loeri while the three books were floating in the air above her head. It seemed she used Magicules to make them float. Standing between them was Nomi with a worried expression on his face as he looked at the two.

"What are you three fighting for?" Mei asked as she waved her hand taking the books back into her arms.

Mei's appearance caused both Frey and Loeri to stop arguing right away. "Alicia, who did you buy those books for, me who reads all the time or Frey who sleeps all day?" 

"Frey is not sleeping, Frey is cultivating!" Frey's little cheeks puffed out as she pushed her sleeves up to her elbows and raised her little fist. This action scared Loeri so much that she quickly ran and hid behind Mei. It seemed that Loeri still had a trauma when it came to Frey's little fist.

"I did not buy them for any of you. I got them for free from some old man. I need to look over them first before you three can look at them." Mei explained. 

Both Loeri and Frey began to blush now that they realized that they were both in the wrong. Frey was the first to lower her sleeves and bow her head. "I'm sorry Aunt Loeri..." 

"I'm sorry too..." Loeri said also bowing her head slightly. 

Seeing the two makeup, Mei nodded her head in approval. She walked into the cottage patting Nomi on the head as she passed by. The three followed in after her. Mei sat on the chair at the table inside and placed the three books on top of it. She looked at each book and noticed that none of them had any writing on their covers. She picked up the first book and opened it and was shocked to see that she did not understand the writing. 

Loeri and Frey who were standing at her sides, craned their necks to look to see what was written inside. Frey scrunched her brow when she saw she couldn't read it. But Loeri had a different reaction. "Oh? Ancient dragon script?"

Hearing Loeri's words Mei was surprised as she said: "You can read this?" 

"Mhm. This book is in ancient dragon script. It would be weird to find any human who could read it unless they were from ancient times." Loeri explained.

"Then what does it say?" Mei asked, her curiosity beginning to rise.

"This is some kind of cultivation technique made for dragons called the Dragon's Roar. To be honest some of it is a tad hard to understand but what I am confused about is that this technique says that you can use either Magicules or spiritual qi to cultivate this. If you got this book in this world how would they know what Magicules were? What's more, is why is Ancient Magic Script of Phantasia in this world as well?" Loeri was a bit confused as she flipped through the book. 

"I am not sure but if it is made for dragons then you keep it. It may help you raise your strength faster." Mei said with a smile. She felt bad that Loeri had to be cooped up in her space since she needed Magicules to survive. She had let Loeri out within her cave once but she started feeling sick after a while due to no Magicules in the air.

"Thank you, Alicia!" Loeri thanked Mei with a big smile, hugged the book, and quickly ran off to her room to read it completely forgetting that there were two more books.

Mei smiled and shook her head as she picked up the next book. But when she looked at the first page she frowned since there were more strange characters on the pages different from the last. "Mother! This is written in ancient fairy tongue!" 

Frey flew over and looked at the book. "Mother this book is even better than the one Master Bai gave me. The way it shows to circulate spiritual qi and Magicules is completely different and Frey feels it would speed up her ability to grow stronger."

Mei smiled and patted Frey's head. "Then this book shall be yours!" 

"Really? Frey can have it!?" Frey asked her eyes glowing.

"Mhm! Mother wants you to grow up and be big and strong."

Frey happily took her book, she used magic to make it hover in the air, and flew to her room with it. Just like Loeri, forgetting that there was still another book left. Mei laughed as she watched Frey running off to try out the cultivation technique. 

Mei looked over at Nomi who seemed to be feeling a little left out and sighed. She called him over and hugged him tightly as she said: "Nomi, when Mother gets a chance she will get you something really nice okay?" 

Nomi nodded his head and hugged Mei. Mei felt bad because nothing she had right now was of use to the poor kid. He was young and had no toys. He was also a human with only one Magi Point. She wasn't sure if he had any ability to cultivate either. Letting out a sigh she hugged Nomi while she opened the last book.

When she opened it her eyes widened, before watering up when she saw a very familiar language written in it. A tear rolled down her cheek as she looked at these characters as it brought back memories of her past life. In big bold letters on the first page written in Japanese were the words 'The Method to Transcend The Gods!'
