Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 396: The Life of a Witch

This time, September was in high spirits, and she volunteered to take on the task of collecting materials.

Although these materials sound strange, fortunately this is an ecological ship. The life science department has placed all the magical creatures they "operated" from various planets on the ecological ship and specially designated an ecological zone for them.

"The fox is finally gone!"

Seeing Jiuyue wagging her tail and skipping out of the door, A Jing let out a long sigh.

She hadn't been so embarrassed for a long time.

The troublesome fox demon left, and she could finally have some peace and quiet.

"Why don't you just tell her the truth?"

After closing her eyes and resting for a while, she heard Duan Mingyuan's question.

"what you mean?"

"She already knew the spell."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from your eyes."

A Jing simply stopped pretending to be stupid and admitted it frankly.

Although the process of casting "Cupid's Arrow" was very short, it was enough for Duan Mingyuan to glimpse its essence through the phenomenon.

The wizard's spells are highly similar to the use of life energy. Jiuyue's talent as the fox can also be understood as a kind of high-level curse. Ajing and Jiuyue have been together for so many years, and it seems that she has already taught Jiuyue some of the curses she knows in a subtle way.

The only difference is that Jiu Yue, thanks to her fox bloodline, can complete the curse without the help of curse props.

As a researcher, Duan Mingyuan has currently observed that the difference lies in the different props and conditions for casting the spell.

"Then you should have discovered that her abilities haven't improved for a long time, right?"

After a moment, Ah Jing spoke up, "She mastered the use of spells invisibly, but she was never able to combine it with her own abilities."

She felt that this was probably the result of a lack of systematic learning.

"You mean the barrier?"

"To be precise, it is an inherent barrier."

Ah Jing said, "This is the watershed that separates wizards from witches. I was really shocked when I first saw the contents of your notebook."

When facing Duan Mingyuan, she was finally able to talk about some serious matters. "You think that the growth of evil spirits is similar to the transformation of wizards in some ways."

Duan Mingyuan wrote in his notebook that creating a barrier and ignoring conditions and rules to activate abilities is a symbol of the evil spirit's complete transformation. So far, there are only a few evil spirits on Blue Star that have completed this transformation.

"Although most wizards learn various spells in the early stages, they will eventually find their own path. Only a very small number of wizards can complete the construction of an inherent barrier... September's situation is exactly the opposite. She has gone too far in the field she is good at, but she lacks a theoretical foundation."

Speaking of this, A Jing felt a little guilty.

She had never taught September witchcraft in a systematic way. In addition to hiding her identity, when she first came into contact with September, she had not thought of teaching her to be an independent witch, and thus adopted many methods of forcing her to learn more.

Thanks to his fox bloodline, Jiu Yue's strength increased rapidly.

Within less than a year of being exposed to the curse, she was able to defeat most of the remnants of the Imperial Hunting Court and the company's lackeys who were plotting to become a fox demon.

"You're trying to make it up to her."

"Not quite."

Ah Jing shook his head. "She is the most talented person in witchcraft that I have ever seen. She is much more talented than those descendants of wizards with pure blood."

After realizing her death, her only regret was that she was unable to pass on the spells she knew.

There are only a few witches nowadays, and each one is a treasure left by civilization and the proof of the existence of the destroyed planet. However, as the "encyclopedia" of the wizard association, she has yet to find a disciple who can inherit her mantle.

"I have one more request."

As she spoke, Ah Jing reached her hand into the void, and a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her, reflecting her face.

This is her inherent barrier.

She discovered the existence of the reversed world, and the inherent barrier was naturally related to the reversed world.

A Jing took out a magic book from the world on the other side of the mirror.

The magic book was locked and was much thicker than any book Duan Mingyuan had ever seen.

The words "Morning Light" were written on the title page. "This is the tradition of witches. Every witch's life is a book. It not only records the spells they know, but also is a true portrayal of their lives. The places they have been to and the people they have met are all recorded in a magic book."

And because of the existence of the "Eternal Life Curse", her magic book is much thicker than that of most witches.

"September is the best candidate. I believe the many spells in it should be able to help her."

Ah Jing said, "As long as she can study the knowledge in it with concentration, one day, she will become a better wizard than me."

Although the love spell brought her a lot of trouble, it was a good start as it made Jiu Yue interested in spells.

A Jing has collected countless magic books and witnessed the life of many witches, so she always believes that there is no better teacher than interest in this world.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the room became a little solemn.

This was one of Duan Mingyuan's least favorite parts, the heavy topics and the important items being handed over, which created an atmosphere of leaving behind a legacy.

"You should hand this magic book to her in person."

"You know this is impossible."

Jiu Yue was present just now, and she changed the subject and skipped many serious crises. "The fleet of the Church of Embers is on the way. I know them, they will never return empty-handed."

What she asked Duan Mingyuan was to let her people survive.

But in return, someone must give something - for example, the fleet of the Church of Ashes needs a witch of sufficient weight so that they can ignore the others who escaped.

The Dawn Witch is undoubtedly the best candidate.

This was the wizard's original plan.

They will hold back the Church of Ashes' fleet and usher in a new era.

In this coming era, everything will be destroyed and broken.

"I will solve this problem in return for this academic exchange."

"Repay?"

"You taught me a lot."

Duan Mingyuan is good at learning and never misses any opportunity to learn.

At the same time, he is also a grateful person.

"Your theory is very inspiring to me and has helped me improve the construction of a part of the barrier."

"you……"

"finished."

Duan Mingyuan smiled slightly, "Thanks to you, my inherent barrier has been constructed. The next step is to move from theory to actual combat."

"It seems I'm going to change my mind."

A Jing lowered her eyes and stared at the cover of the magic book.

At this moment, a clamoring voice came from the door, "Help, Mr. Mingyuan!"

The panicked little fox rushed in, and after entering the door, he looked out with lingering fear. After a long time, he said guiltily, "I'm in trouble!"

"What trouble did you get into?"

"After I went out just now, I tried to improve the spell."

"Improved spell?"

"…'Cupid Grenade', that's the name I gave it."

September shyly put her hands behind her back and hid them in her furry tail.

A Jing and Duan Mingyuan's eyes went dark again, and a terrible guess came to their mind.

"Where's the grenade?"

“Ahahahaha, that…”

Jiu Yue hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Let it go."
