Chapter 93 Don't Try to Guess a Girl's Thoughts
A whole row of names quickly appeared on the Book of Sand. As Gebu added keywords, a large number of names disappeared from the list, leaving only one in the end.
[Belle, Bellundy - Jane Rembrandt]
Writings:
Belle's Sweet Wizard Diary 1
……
When Gebu first saw the title of the book, he felt it was a bit cheesy.
Gebu glanced at the book title and then at the cover—good heavens, the pink font mixed with fluorescent powder was sparkling, and the cover was covered with cute doodles: sunshine, rainbows, white horses, and a witch wearing a pointed hat grinning. Everything looked happy and peaceful.
This guy's mental age is 8... Gebu remarked.
He opened it and flipped through it. This was Belle's first study notebook since she became an apprentice. It was exquisite and neat, with keywords highlighted and mind maps, as beautiful as a work of art—even the edges of the paper were decorated with lace.
Is this person even listening to the lecture? They seem to be spending all their time taking notes.
He flipped through the notebook again; it was both a study notebook and a diary. Every day, the girl neatly wrote down her learning experiences and even copied down a bunch of inspirational quotes to encourage herself.
"A positive attitude is the first element of success—Belle, you're the best! Belle, you can do it!"
"It's okay if you didn't understand today. Just take a nap, let the knowledge ferment in your brain, and you can taste the sweetness of wisdom tomorrow! Ah, speaking of which, I need to sneak a bite of the butterfly pastry I hid..."
Gebu quickly flipped through the pages; they were all basic courses on etheric theory, which he had finished learning in one night, while the female apprentice had been teaching Lala for almost half a year.
...With that kind of brain, is he even capable of being a wizard?
The notebook was useless, but the goblin discovered that there was more than one diary, so he ordered the Book of Sand to continue searching downwards.
Belle's Wizarding Diaries 2
Hmm? Not sweet anymore?
The cover of this notebook is less flashy, and the notes inside are simpler. This time, Belle begins to explore level 0 spells and starts systematically learning herbalism and alchemy.
His experience was similar to Gebu's.
The female apprentice drew a table on the first page of the notebook, recording her scores for each test and summarizing her insights.
Herbalism:
Failed - Reason: Careless.
Failed - Reason: The recipe was copied incorrectly.
Failed - Reason: The mandrake ran away.
I passed: I've got it!
Failed - Reason: Didn't get it.
Failed - Reason: The mandrakes have run away again.
……
Alchemy fared even worse, failing even once, with all scores in the red.
Because her grades in the minor subjects were so poor, it seemed Belle would have to repeat a grade. In her diary, she couldn't hide her frustration, but she still maintained an optimistic and positive attitude.
"Failure is the mother of success. I come from a commoner background and have never been exposed to herbs or alchemy—things only nobles can afford."
"It's too difficult. I'm too afraid to fail, and I don't have the money to buy extra materials. The more afraid I am, the more nervous I get, and the more nervous I get, the more mistakes I make."
"However, Professor Imington has allowed me to work in the golem lab. In exchange, I can use his herbalism and alchemy workshop in my spare time... Good luck, Belle! Seize the opportunity!"
Seeing this, Gebu felt a strange sense of sympathy for her—how to put it, they were both in terrible circumstances and wanted to change their situation. The difference was that he had the Book of Sand, a powerful artifact, while Belle could only rely on herself.
She mentioned golems in this diary, so there's a possibility that golem studies will follow—Gebu perked up.
Pay attention to information such as the golem's joints and limb proportions; it's best to have a proportional structural sketch.
The Witcher Diaries 3
Good heavens, they're not even writing their names anymore. Gebu thought to himself.
The handwriting in this diary has become increasingly messy, making it more difficult to read. There are no more doodles, and the ink colors have been reduced to two: black for writing and red for outlining.
Without the fancy embellishments, the notes are actually more comfortable to read. It seems Belle has made progress.
This is also reflected in her grades. This semester, Belle passed all her courses and even achieved a breakthrough in 2/4 of her courses.
However, as her grades improved, problems seemed to arise in the girl's life.
As I kept writing, my notes would occasionally contain a whole page of scribbles, with entire paragraphs of text deleted, pages missing, or pages broken—as if I was venting.
"Attend classes in the morning, attend classes in the late morning, work at the Golem Workshop at noon, attend classes in the afternoon, go to the Golem Workshop in the evening, go to the Herbalist Workshop at night, practice alchemy at midnight, and meditate at dawn."
"Busy, so busy, I don't even have time to write to my mother... Oh well, they wouldn't understand anyway. Why wasn't I born into a family of sorcerers? The path of wisdom is so difficult."
"Will a person die if they don't eat? How long can a person go without water? Is there any magic that can make the excrement and urine in the body disappear? Will a person turn into an angel if they don't sleep?"
"Flesh golems, clay golems, rock golems, steel golems... are there any poop golems? That's intriguing. Speaking of which, I'd like something sweet."
Feed... Hang in there, Belle...
As Geb read on, he became a little worried about the girl's mental state. This notebook still contained no information about golems.
There are two more books below.
"Japan 4"
"You even wrote the words wrong..." Gebu complained.
The notebook was written in a flowing, serpentine style, which Gebu found difficult to understand. He had to squint and guess at many parts from the context.
Belle has finally completed all the node breakthroughs and is just one step away from advancing to the next level—but she has encountered the same problem as Gebu back then.
The materials for the abduction ritual at the Deep Well were too expensive.
In the magic academy, only apprentices who excel in the assessments are qualified to attempt it. Those who are eliminated are immediately expelled.
"After much pleading and cajoling, Professor Imington finally agreed to let me give it a try, but on the condition that I work full-time for free at his golem workshop for six months."
"This deal is really terrible—I don't know if I can keep pulling all-nighters like that... but the professor appreciates me and gave me this opportunity. I'm already much luckier than most apprentices."
"As long as you pass the Deep Well Robbery and obtain the wizard rank, at the very least, you can go out and become a local magic officer—this is a level that your parents could never achieve in their entire lives."
"Belle, you must seize this opportunity. You can only succeed; you cannot fail."
"Well done, Belle!" Geb couldn't help but cheer for the apprentice in the book—
He completely forgot how he had tricked her afterwards.
In the middle of this notebook, Geb found what he was looking for:
The Iron Golem's full-body structural diagram—Belle used a fine-line pen to very accurately depict the size, material, joint type, range of motion, and force of each part of the Iron Golem.
Excellent! With this, Geb can create a perfect replica of a fake golem—one without magic and unable to operate on its own.
He can't handle things like rune programming, and he doesn't need to right now.
Geb closed the diary. The following entries are the latest.
The cover of the diary has a drawing of a rope circle with a little person on it—a little green man with pointed ears.
【DEATH NOTE】
ha?
Does it look familiar?
Curiosity compelled Geb to open this last diary.
I just opened it, and there it was: Magnubie's backside! Page after page of red text came rushing at me, densely packed, making Gebu's scalp tingle.
Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu
Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu Gebu
…………
One page, two pages, three pages...
The more Geb flipped through the pages, the more panicked he became. The overwhelming resentment emanating from the paper almost swallowed the goblin whole.
The last page contained only a large doodle.
Amber eyes, green face, pointed ears, and a cunning, toothy smile.
A red cross pierced the entire paper, splitting Geb's head into four pieces.
"Goblin - Kill!"
Uh……
Gebu silently closed the Book of Sand.
I didn't see anything...
I didn't see anything...
Girls' thoughts...how terrifying!!!
