There is a large drilling ground in the backyard of the "Secret Skin" guild, where dummies and arch targets are placed, and trenches are dug.

In order to fight cunning vampires, hunters must be familiar with swordsmanship, bows, and magic. Therefore, there are many hunters here on weekdays.

However, the drilling venue has been relatively deserted these days because everyone has been sent out to fight.

A few days ago, the vampire's rally was broken, but it was just the prelude to a great war. A large number of low-level vampires appeared near that rally.

So the hunters went to wipe out the hunter before they had time to rest.

Evely also played together with the idea of ​​being slightly injured but not falling from the fire, but was injured and carried back that day. This time she was hit by a sword on her thigh. If the wound was a little further down, the knee would be ruined, and she would also say goodbye to her hunter career.

Now she was wearing a bandage on her legs and sat on a chair next to the drill ground, watching Jiang Xiaotan practicing magic there.

These days, the hunters who stayed behind have been legendary that this distinguished guest who lived in the guild was a high-level mage from the Western Continent. This "high-level mage" cast a super gorgeous magic the next day after staying there, which shocked the entire guild.

That day, Jiang Xiaotan tried to cast the magic of exorcism all night, but he failed at once. In desperation, he had to give up his efforts for the time being and then looked at another book.

Introduction to Primary Elemental Magic

The reason I didn't try this book from the beginning is that in the vampire hunter system, elemental magic is not very useful, and the library only has this primary book, and it is just an introduction.

However, there are a lot of books on Holy Magic, both at the elementary and intermediate level and advanced level. And according to the instructions in the book, Holy Magic is the most suitable magic for humans to learn.

When the holy magic cannot be understood, Jiang Xiaotan can only rely on this book.

However, when he opened the title page, the previous paragraph made him almost desperate.

The book says that elemental magic has high requirements for learners' physical fitness. Humans in this world have low affinity for elements. Unless they let apprentices come into contact with special magic weapons from childhood to improve physical fitness, they can successfully guide elemental magic.

Even if a person is gifted and born with a physique with a certain element, he cannot reach a very high level without being improved by magic tools.

Moreover, this book "Introduction to Primary Elemental Magic" records some theoretical things, but only as an example, it describes the spells and guidance methods of [Primary Fireball Technique]. After reading it carefully, Jiang Xiaotan almost no longer had any expectations for himself.

Except for spells, the guidance method is almost the same as the [Junior Evil Exorcist] that he failed to experiment all night, except that because the flames burn the caster himself, the [Junior Fireball] adds the step of guiding the magic out of the body first and then converting it into the fire element.

But after all, Jiang Xiaotan still wanted to try it out.

He stretched his hand straight forward, opened his palm, and recited the spell: "The immortal holy flame will be burned forever, and listen to my prayers and gathered in front of me..."

Before he could finish reciting the spell, Jiang Xiaotan was surprised to find a hot flame in front of his palm, and it became bigger and bigger.

This moment moved him so much that he cried, and successfully condensed the flames, which showed that his efforts throughout the night were not in vain. So excitedly he forgot the spell in the second half.

Fortunately, the book was on the side, so he looked down at the book and carefully kept the second half of the spell in his heart.

At this time, he discovered something amazing.

Because I looked down at the book, the small fire ball condensed in front of my palm had turned into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than one meter, and also lit the deer skin on the bed and several scattered books.

I made a little tomato! What's going on!

Jiang Xiaotan immediately reached out the window, and then quickly recited the remaining spell: "...... According to my order, it turns into an arrow to break the enemy, shoot it!"

The huge fireball flew out, burning a large hole in the iron pane grille, and then exploded in the air like a gorgeous firework.

Jiang Xiaotan didn't bother to appreciate the magnificent landscape. He immediately picked up half-burned deer skin and slapped the ground, extinguishing the flames above.

Then he covered the broken deer skin on several burning books and wiped out the fire on the books.

Most of these books just burned the title page, and the more miserable one is the book "The Origin of Vampire" placed on it. The previous pages were burned.

At this time, there was already agitation outside. The early morning was already coming with mist. The vampire hunters lined up and prepared to set out to attack again.

They all saw the huge fireball and thought it had been attacked by the enemy. They drew out silver swords and were ready to fight.

It was not until Jiang Xiaotan held the burnt book and went to General Haite to apologize, that the hunters realized that this "enemy attack" was just a misfortune.

Because the East Continent does not have a good academic system and elemental mages are very rare, people generally respect this type of talent. After knowing that the huge fireball was placed by Jiang Xiaotan, the general manager showed dissatisfaction. Instead, he immediately sent his servants to replace the burned objects in Jiang Xiaotan's house.

As for the book "The Origin of the Vampire", which burned a part, because it was a common book, General Haite did not ask Jiang Xiaotan to compensate. Finally, after Jiang Xiaotan insisted, he agreed to deduct part of the interest from the deposit as compensation.

However, General Haite also made a request, hoping that if he wanted to practice magic in the future, he would go to the drill ground in the backyard and not practice in the house.

So since that accident, Jiang Xiaotan would enter the drill field whenever he had time and practice [Fireball Technique].

After Evely returned from injury, she became his audience.

By today, nearly ten days have passed since the accident. Jiang Xiaotan has practiced [Fireball Technique] to perfection.

But because the book "Introduction to Primary Elemental Magic" only records this magic, he could only practice tirelessly.

However, "Introduction to Primary Elemental Magic" uses [Fireball Technique] as a sample to explain the principle of elemental magic in this world in detail. It also has a detailed explanation of the meaning of spells and gestures.

After the full chanting released a fireball and accurately hit a target in the drill field, Jiang Xiaotan glanced at the book and said to himself: "So, the lengthy spell is just to make the caster concentrate, and to build this spell. In fact, is it enough to build a few key 'runes' in your mind?"

Among the spells of [Fireball Technique], the magic rune is [Fire], [Arrow], [Shoot], and these four runes determine the elemental attributes, magic power, gathering form and launch method of this magic.

Jiang Xiaotan raised his hand again, silently chanting "Yancang's Arrow Shoot" in his heart, and a fireball immediately shot out of his hand.

Evely, who was watching from the side, was so shocked that she almost jumped up. The consequence of forcing her to get up was to pull the wound on her leg, making her grin.

"Ouch, hiss...is this... no chanting casting?!"

As a vampire hunter, Evely also has some holy attribute magic. These magic are simpler than elemental magic, usually only one or two runes.

But even so, it took Evely to master the casting of the chantless spells, which was already considered talented.

Like Jiang Xiaotan, he mastered the casting of the yin and spells in less than ten days, and he was simply a genius among geniuses.

If she knew that Jiang Xiaotan had been thinking about improving the power of fireball techniques for the past ten days, she would have been the first time trying to cast without singing spells, and she would probably be silly.

“Is it difficult to cast spells without chanting?”

"It is not a difficult question. Normal people have to chant and cast countless times before they can engrave the image of runes in their consciousness, otherwise the runes will not be able to be displayed at any time when casting spells."

"I know, but is this difficult?"

Evely looked at Jiang Xiaochao like a monster.

She didn't know that this time traveler from Blue Star had a ability.

Chinese character.

In this world, except for some ancient creatures, most races use a pinyin word called the Common Language.

The disadvantage of pinyin characters is that the amount of information in a single letter is very small, and multiple letters need to be spelled into one word to express the meaning.

But Jiang Xiao talks about the Chinese characters in Lanxing’s native language, which is an ideographic character.

Ideologies require more time to learn than pinyin characters, but the advantages are very obvious: the amount of information in a single word is several orders of magnitude higher, but the expression is very accurate.

This is very consistent with the concept of "runes" in this world.

Jiang Xiaotan has more than 20 years of Chinese thinking habits, which makes it very easy for him to understand "runes" and can remember "runes" more simply.

For the same rune of flame, the natives of this world need to convert this rune into a word that represents the meaning of "flammation", and then engrave runes in their brains based on the words.

But for Jiang Xiaotan, the Chinese character "Yan" in his mind is itself a ideogram similar to "runes", and the benefits of traveling through time allow him to directly transcribe the inflammation in his mind into runes.

Of course, Evely could not know the reason behind this.

After thinking for a long time, she came to the following conclusion:

"Maybe you were a very powerful mage before you lost your memory. These runes have been engraved in your consciousness."

"Yeah, it's possible."

Jiang Xiaotan has never studied the differences between different types of texts, so he did not know his mother tongue has become one of the benefits of time travel, and he would not believe that he is actually a natural rune master.

I can only think that the original owner of this body is a superb mage.

After firing several unsinged [Fireball Technique] again, Jiang Xiaotan changed his gesture and began to chant the spell that he had not succeeded.

"Praise the names of the gods and drive away evil spirits with light!"

Except for a burning pain from his fingertips, there was still no reaction.

Give up singing spells and directly construct the two runes of [God] and [Light] in your mind, and the same reaction is still the same.

"It's strange, why can't I always use it?"

Evely looked at Jiang Xiaotan who was muttering to himself and asked, "Can you use the 'exorcism'?"

"yes."

The hunter tilted his head in surprise and watched Jiang Xiaotan chanting the spell again.

The spell is completely correct, and the gestures are as standard as possible.

However, the light ball that should have appeared cannot come out.

"This spell is very simple."

Evely stretched out her right hand to the target in the distance, restoring the two runes of [God] and [Light] that had been engraved countless times in her mind, and then a small ball of light flew out of her fingertips.

The ball of light slowly flew towards the target, but it drew an arc in the air and flew towards Jiang Xiaotan.

"ah?"

The light ball sank into Jiang's forehead, causing a slight burning pain.

"Ha? Why did it hit you?" Evely laughed in silence.

The [Evil Exorcist] light ball with unspecified targets will fly straight forward or automatically look for evil things.
