Chapter 48: No need to hide confidence

After enjoying a warm and peaceful dinner with Irene, Ian was the first to speak: "Are you free now? If you are free, I will take you to a place."

Looking at Ian who was pretending to be mysterious, Irene's curiosity was successfully aroused by him. After all, in such a monotonous day, if one or two interesting new things could appear, it would be very exciting.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go now." Irene replied curiously.

After receiving the reply, Ian stood up and led Irene to the living room, where the Undetectable Extension Charm-enhanced backpack he had taken down earlier was placed.

Yes, Ian planned to take Irene into the magically extended backpack space. After all, his collection of books was all in the space. Taking her in to familiarize herself with the route would make it easier for her to complete the sorting work in the future. Otherwise, taking out books one by one would be very troublesome and a waste of time.

The main reason was that Ian didn't want to hide anything. After spending so much time together, he recognized Irene's character and kindness.

Secondly, there is the existence of the Foe-Glass. It can detect if any untrustworthy person appears nearby and will immediately sound an alarm. Moreover, Ian never told the other party about this function of the Foe-Glass from beginning to end.

With this double insurance, Ian decided to let Irene know about the magically extending backpack.

…

Back to the topic, when the two of them came to the living room.

Under Irene's curious gaze, Ian slowly opened the buttons of his backpack. The entrance of the backpack, which was flat on the ground, instantly expanded into a deep hole with a diameter of more than one meter. Neat rows of stairs extended downwards along the ground.

Ignoring the surprised Irene behind him, Ian immediately said, "Follow me, I will take you to a magical place."

The initial entrance is only about one meter wide. Then you go deeper and deeper along the stairs, and the surrounding area gradually expands. Finally, when you walk down the last staircase, you will see a magical space.

Covering an area approximately the size of two or three basketball courts, there stands a two-story wooden house in the rough style of the Viking era, and of course, there are also mountains of various books.

Irene was stunned by the scene before her, and she muttered unconsciously:

"I always thought your magic could shrink items and bring them back in a backpack. Oh my god, it's unbelievable... There's actually another world inside the backpack..."

"Isn't it amazing? You can come here in the future to move the books that need to be sorted." Ian said to Irene happily.

"Ian? I want to ask you something. Can I learn magic? I've wanted to ask you this for a long time. It's really amazing."

Looking at Irene who was looking expectant, Ian just calmly replied: "Honestly, I don't know! You can think of magic as a blood talent. If you are born with it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it."

Ian paused for a moment on purpose, and after finding that there was only a little disappointment in the other person's pure eyes, without any dissatisfaction or jealousy, he continued slowly:

"But what I want to say is that magic is about creating miracles, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. I am currently just an apprentice who has just started to understand magic. That is why I need your help. Let's sort out and learn this knowledge together. Maybe we can find a way for you to learn magic."

Ian did not make empty promises to Irene. He spoke the truth. If she continued to study the incomplete formula of the blood potion, it would be very likely that Irene would become a wizard. Of course, it was only a possibility.

Ian's attempt to complete the broken ancient potion formula was not just a fantasy, but he really had unique conditions.

The resources of an entire world can be controlled by him. Even if this world is already in ruins, even if this world is already decaying and dead, it still has infinite value waiting to be developed.

The fact that he was able to collect so many books in the library this time is a good example, not to mention that the world is still changing quietly.

"Yes! I believe in you, and I believe in myself. We will definitely find a way."

Irene said this with confidence, raising her tender little white hand and clenching her fist to cheer herself up.

"You can walk around here first. There is a resting place in the wooden house. If you get bored, come out. I will keep the stairs open. Don't be cautious. It is absolutely safe here. But I have to go out. There must be someone outside. Otherwise, even if the Foe-Glass alarms me, I won't know."

After Ian finished saying this, he turned around and walked back the way he came, walking away step by step down the stairs.

Irene also looked at Ian's back until he completely disappeared from her sight.

She knew very well that Ian's bringing her here was a sign of absolute trust. If she were to get such a treasure in the apocalypse, would she choose to share this secret? Therefore, Ian's actions touched her deeply, and she even trusted him wholeheartedly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. Even if I can't learn magic, I will help you in other ways."

Irene said to herself, and then turned around and walked towards the piles of books with full energy, ready to start her new job.
