Lu Jian has watched many magic-themed movies, but most fantasy movies do not carefully show the details of the magic settings of that world.
Or just recite a spell and the staff will start to glow, and the bridge can collapse with one stick.
Or just shout to Avada and eat the big melon, and a green light will pass by and the person will die.
Or simply wear some kind of pendant and make some wonderful poses to turn back time.
As for how magic works and how it is released, it is all very idealistic.
Of course, your believing heart is your magic, and magic is inherently an idealistic thing.
He was a little curious.
"When you use magic over there, do you still need to pray?"
"Yes, we need to pray to the gods for spells after midnight every day, and then the gods will give us spells that we can use. During the day, these spells can be used unlimitedly."
Shia nodded slightly.
"However, this foreign land is far away from my world, and the gods' response is a bit slow. I can only use about 70% of my strength."
She raised her armored hand and moved her fingers in a snapping motion.
Some kind of invisible ripples rippled through the space. He only felt a gentle breeze and didn't know what was happening.
"I just used a detection technique that can detect threats within a hundred meters nearby... Well, something seems to be sleeping under the desert. I hope we won't disturb it."
"It's amazing!"
Lu Tan applauded softly and then asked again.
"Can you make bread now?"
"...I, I didn't pray for food creation."
Shia said as if she was sorry.
"You can't use the corresponding magic without praying? Magic is such an inconvenience?"
Lu Tiao thought it was strange.
"Magic is not something that humans can easily touch. Only gods can grant transcendence. Before the establishment of the Gray Tower, we were plagued by the demonic tide of the Black Forest. Under the leadership of the founder of the Gray Tower, humans gradually came into contact with miracles.
, turning the magic that only a few chosen ones could reluctantly use into a miracle that even mortals can touch."
When Shia said this, her tone was very respectful. It seemed that the founder of the Gray Tower and his actions had indeed improved the living environment of the Kingdom of Darkness.
"So what spell did you pray for?"
Lu Tan asked again.
"This is a secret."
Shia didn't answer.
"In the Kingdom of Darkness, it is an absolute secret what spells each mage can pray for and what spells he prays for every day, because as long as you know what spells a mage can use today, you can target his weaknesses in a targeted manner.
So even if it’s my teacher, I won’t tell him what spell I prayed for today!”
She explained seriously.
"Well, I hope you have some combat spells."
Lu Tiao did not inquire carefully. Ultimate science is the same as magic, and vice versa. The so-called magic may be that things change in a way that goes beyond common sense. He thinks that what Shia masters is probably things like fireballs and blizzards.
Spells, like bazookas and mortars, can crush the enemy's bones and dispose of them, and that's it.
"Speaking of which, can people like me who are not from your world be able to pray to your gods to obtain spells?"
He was a little eager to give it a try.
"I've never tried this..."
Siya seemed to be stumped by this question. She pondered for a moment, then turned the pages of the book, looking for something intently.
The firelight illuminated her side face, and her green eyes shone brightly, a color that Lu Tan had never seen before.
He waited for a long time, maybe half an hour, and the girl in armor was still reading books.
Lu Tiao thought he might not be able to wait any longer, so he stood up and looked at the scenery at the edge of the dune.
Even though the people around her disappeared, Shia didn't react at all and seemed to be immersed in the joy of reading.
Lu Tiao pinched a handful of sand. This kind of gravel was silver and had finer particles than the sand on the beach. It flowed easily from his fingers without sticking to his skin.
Curious, he pinched some more and stuck out his tongue to taste it.
"It smells like sand."
After spitting out the gravel, Lu Jian looked at the wasteland reflected in the starry sky.
There was no moon in this world, and there were no city lights, so the stars were exceptionally bright. Only then did he realize that there were no clouds in the sky. Looking far into the distance, the entire night sky was like obsidian, pure and shining.
However, on the other side of the horizon, there is nothing but sand. The endless sand dunes form a monotonous land, forming a sharp contrast with the colorful starry sky.
"All the people in this foreign land live in this desert? But how to ensure water and food? Do they really all eat bugs? I saw a water reserve in the camel's luggage. It seems that besides the desert, there are other terrains
, there might be an oasis or something like that.”
he was thinking.
But these have nothing to do with his mission this time. The nameless city and the ruins full of treasures must be in the desert. Considering the circumstances of the mission, just don't encounter other wilderness hunters.
Returning to the campfire, Lu Tan saw Shia still flipping through the book.
"...Actually, I'm not that obsessed with using spells, so you don't have to look for them."
He patted Shia on the shoulder.
The girl is reading.
Nothing happens.
"Uh, Miss Shia?"
Lu Tan stretched out his hand and waved it between her eyes and the page.
Still no response.
"Asleep?"
He leaned over and took a look. The girl in armor kept her eyes open and was even turning the pages to read, but she didn't respond to Lu Tan's call.
Like some kind of doll.
"...something went wrong?"
Lu Tiao didn't know if there were any ghosts or monsters in this desert that could turn people into puppets. He quickly took out a crowbar and knocked hard on the armor on the back of Shia's head.
Clang——
The crisp sound echoed in the desert.
Lu Tan saw that Xia stopped turning the pages of the book.
It was like a puppet suddenly turned into a human being. Shia raised her head, her eyes filled with vivid colors again. She looked at Lu Tian and then at the crowbar in Lu Tian's hand.
"What are you doing?"
So ask.
"Just now you..."
Lu Tan was about to speak but stopped.
"It's a spell."
Shia explained.
"This spell is called reading. After releasing the book, it can keep my body in a reading state and learn knowledge. At the same time, my own consciousness can rest and do other things."
"?"
Is this really a textbook that has grown up and learned to get into your head on its own?
Lu Tan didn't quite understand.
He only knows that this thing must be very useful in class.
"Well, I just looked for a way to learn spells, and now I can give you a try."
