Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 97 What to do
"Well, without further ado!"

After getting Lin Xuan's affirmation, the girl wearing the broken crown began to smile again.

Today is a really good day for her.

Not only did he see a chance to rescue his teacher, but he also finally met the lover his teacher had always been thinking about, and witnessed this romantic love that transcended time and space.

When she was still a little princess of a country and had not yet shouldered the responsibility of fighting the abyss, what she liked most was to listen to the love stories of these heroes and princesses.

As the words fell.

The previously quiet library was once again filled with a vortex of colorful magic, with books and scrolls rising and dancing.

"I have prepared all the information. Master, you just need to learn these magics. We can set off tomorrow—"

"Stop, wait for me!"

Lin Xuan blurted out all the words in a hurry.

He looked around and saw at least a dozen magic books with detailed records.

For a moment, I felt my head was enlarged.

"You mean, if I want to reach the gate of the White Tower of Stars, I must learn all of this?"

"Hmm? Yes."

Lei Lin answered as a matter of course, as if it was strange that Lin Xuan would ask this question.

"This is the technique I have simplified to the minimum." She explained, "If it is a court magician, it will take about three months to master it."

"For me, if it's my first contact, it will take about a day."

Stop talking for a moment.

Lei Lin looked at Lin Xuan expectantly, her dimples showing as she smiled: "But if it was Master, she would probably be able to learn it after just one look, right?"

"So, Master, there will be no problem. I believe you!"

But I don’t believe in myself!

Lin Xuan roared in his heart.

As a student who received exam-oriented education, he is very familiar with simply memorizing and learning.

He could barely try to review the question bank and the sea of ​​questions.

But now he wants to learn magic.

This is a completely fictional system with no foundation at all. It is a completely new system.

I know how to remember the strokes and patterns of "Ether Rituals" because it is necessary for game strategies. Some game production teams like to create their own unique characters, which is also part of the strategy.

But at that time he treated this magic as an imaginary power.

The effect of the skill of remembering is almost the same.

Who would have thought that one day, he could even learn how to be a great magician in a 2D beautiful girl card-drawing mobile game?
"Oh, Master, are you worried that these magics can't adapt to the environment of this world?"

The girl patted her chest and assured: "That's no problem!"

"The basic formula that Master gave us seventy years ago allows ether to be converted into magic power without loss. It is almost as efficient as the 'Ether Cultivation'."

"Now the [Demon's Abyss Realm] has also established a magic academy. If students do not want to be spirit bond users, they can directly change their jobs to become magicians."

“I also added some original elements.”

"So there won't be any problems in using it, Master, you can use it with confidence!"

That is
Lovina is like Tang Monk who went to India to seek Buddhist scriptures. She translated foreign classics into Chinese, so that everyone can learn and read them?
Lin Xuan took one of the books with half belief and half doubt, and looked at the way the magic was engraved.

as predicted.

Although the style is a bit strange, it feels like translating foreign grammar into Chinese.

But from between the lines, he did see outlines similar to etheric magic in those diagrams.

Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky full of books, once again recalling the fear of being dominated by the college entrance examination question bank.

【Ding! 】

[It is detected that the player has unlocked hidden information, triggering the special copy of "Sin Witch Lovina". 】

[The limited-time achievement challenge "Apprentice of the Sin Witch" has been refreshed. 】

[Challenge goal: Master the spell needed to go to the Star White Tower within five days - "Anchoring the Existence of the Self"]

[(Requirement: proficiency must be at intermediate level or above. If it is too low, it will pose a risk to the challenge of the dungeon.) ]

[Temporarily acquired attributes: Comprehension +200%, Memory +200%, Magic Affinity +200%, Ether Recovery Efficiency +200%. ]

[Reward: Unknown (will change according to the player's completion days, proficiency, etc.)]

Lin Xuan stared at the prompt that popped up in the system, and his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

I really want to complain in my heart that zero multiplied by anything is still zero. Do you think I can learn it now that you give me these bonuses?
but.

Under the expectant gaze of the princess in front of him, Lin Xuan just took a deep breath.

He smiled and said calmly, "Okay, I'll try my best."

Soon after, with a pile of books, he asked for a quiet environment to read.

I just turned the page and was about to start the first chapter of "I traveled to another world and became a master of magic by doing exercises".

However, Lin Xuan felt that something was wrong.

strangeness.

He seems to have forgotten something.
"what."

"Natsu Shimi!?"

=====
The white-haired girl sat in the center of the busy city, looking down at the gun in her hand. She was wearing a loose-fitting gray coat, and her feet in boots were shaking slightly.

The fountain in the city center gushed out.

In the decorative magic, water drops fall into the pool with a soft sound, and the occasional splashes of water on the skin are refreshing.

At one side, a bard holding a harp was singing a cheerful melody, adding a bit of fun to life in this city that was seriously lacking in entertainment facilities.

Although the survival difficulty in the map is higher than that in the Demonic Ghost Domain, and there is a lack of entertainment products such as the Internet and mobile phones.

However, the [Demon's Abyss Realm] has not expanded outward for half a century.

Humans are a highly adaptable species.

Without mobile phones, there is no entertainment, so create your own entertainment.

The Qiling posters sold in grocery stores are divided into photo-realistic style, Western hand-painted style, ink and oil style.
Such as professions such as bards.

Like taverns, adventurer guilds that serve ordinary "hunters", and pharmacist guilds that collect herbs that grow naturally in the forest after the erosion of the Demonic Abyss.

Also once again.

In this land where the civilization of modern society has been defeated, the sprouts of vitality are growing again.

"Little sister, who are you waiting for here?"

A passerby saw Xia Shimi sitting alone next to the hot spring with her head down, holding a rifle.

With a kind smile, he said, "If you are lost, would you like me to show you the way?"

When the passerby said this.

His gaze was somewhat strange as he looked at the black rifle that the girl had been holding in her arms.

This metallic thing doesn't look like a greatsword, nor does it look like a one-to-one model of a Qi Ling weapon. Is it a new toy?

I've never seen it before.

"No, no need."

Xia Shimi shook her head, raised her head and looked back with crimson eyes, and said in a soft and calm voice: "I'm waiting for someone."

"But, when I was having dinner, I saw you sitting here alone for more than two hours." The passerby was confused and wanted to say something.

But he saw Xia Shimi shaking her head again to refuse.

He didn't say anything else. He just told the girl to be careful and left.

This was the tenth time Xia Shimi had repeated the same conversation in the past three hours.

Judging from her appearance alone, no one could associate her, who looked harmless, quiet, and well-behaved as she sat waiting, with any combat profession.

In addition, this war zone has been isolated from the outside world for a century.

Even though there is magic that can turn guns into wands, convenience has long been abandoned, and newborns don't even know what a gun is when they see it.

This makes the girl holding the model toy look like a lost child.

She sat alone in the hot spring in the center of the city.

She called once at first, but the other party seemed to be busy and didn't answer, so she didn't call again.

Just wait quietly.

At this moment.

A person wearing the uniform of the Alliance staff hurried over and said apologetically, "Sorry! Are you Miss Xia Shimi?"

"Lady Lilyvis has instructed that your Qi Ling Lin Xuan is now her honored guest. It was the Alliance's fault for not contacting her in advance."

"Please follow us now, we will activate the teleportation array immediately."

The employee was interrupted in the middle of his speech. "So, Lin Xuan is safe now, right?" The girl did not stand up immediately, but followed him automatically.

She nodded: "Then I feel relieved."

Immediately, her bright red eyes became clear.

He asked calmly, "Then, are there any broken entities that can be fought near the place you mentioned?"

"Well..." The employee was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he answered honestly: "As far as I know, that area is close to the forbidden area 'Star White Tower'."

"The Deepbloods around that area were all dispersed because they were afraid of the aura of the White Tower."

"And the number of fantasy beasts is limited. In the past few decades, all the fantasy beasts that can be named have been around the white tower. I guess they probably won't make a wasted trip again."

The white star tower stood for more than a hundred years.

This time.

Enough to make a temporary building a landmark representing an entire area.

At the beginning, the Abyss Bloods were agitated by the blood moon and attracted by the beautiful swirling stars. They turned into beast tides and invaded several times.

However, the White Tower was not as polite to these entities as it was to humans.

Those who are close, without exception.

Either you are torn apart by the cut space, or your whole body suddenly ages after stepping into a certain area.

Eventually the corpse will be recycled - turning into part of a star around the tower, which is quite environmentally friendly.

Even the Abyss Bloods had brain problems after being eroded, becoming manic and bloodthirsty.

But they were once wild beasts after all.

As a wild beast, it will seek good and avoid danger. Over time, the fear of the "forbidden place where you will die if you get close to it" has become a bloodline passed down from generation to generation.

"In that case, I won't go for the time being."

Xia Shimi said in a quiet voice.

She stood up, her skirt swaying under her hooded jacket, as if now that she knew where Lin Xuan was, there was no need for her to continue waiting here.

She looked at the stunned employee and said quietly, "The temporary garrison base we requested at the beginning, has it been assigned after going through the procedures?"

"Oh," the employee replied subconsciously, "Well, the relevant procedures have been completed. Just as you requested, we are located at the front line close to the Abyss."

"The original Spirit Contract Master there died not long ago. The relevant resources and equipment are all of the latest generation. You just need to enter and get the qualification certification before you can use them."

"Don't worry about the danger. The scenery there is beautiful, close to water sources, and hunting is safe. The lights inside are bright, and the residence of the spirit envoy has five rooms and a living room."

I'm so used to recommending this business that it's an instinctive reaction, and I only come back to my senses halfway through.

The employee asked incredulously, "Wait, are you saying you're not going to see Her Highness Lilyvis?"

"You know, she is one of the only seven [Epic Level] Contract Spirits in the Demonic Abyss War Zone! She is also the apprentice of the great witch from a hundred years ago."

"Since she knows your bonded spirit, even if you don't have any talent for magic, as long as you can get along well with her, your future will definitely be bright!"

Xia Shimi shook her head.

She said, "No, thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."

I have no talent for magic, that's for sure.

When she was in the Spirit Contract Academy, the girl tried everything she could because she found that she lacked talent in summoning.

The Yin-Yang technique of transforming ether into spiritual energy, the talent of transforming ether into magic or fighting spirit, and the transformation of ether into action energy to build machinery.
Over the past century, various systems have branched out for the Spirit Envoy.

Xia Shimi tried them all without getting tired of it.

This is dangerous and tiring. Although ether is omnipotent, it is not something that can be turned at will.

Even in the game, failure to knock in strengthening materials will cause the item to be scrapped.

What's more, different ether systems actually represent different laws of broken time and space.

Anyone who has attempted this has often either suffered backlash and been exploded by the ether, or has been exposed to too much broken time and space, which has driven them insane.

However, for the girl at that time.

This is her only way to make herself stronger.

But even she hadn't expected that all the etheric systems would be annihilated, and no matter which path she took, her talent would be judged to be zero. She had already given up on herself.

However, the only thing that does not require ether is the "gunmanship", which even ordinary people can train to become stronger.

Gifted.

——If she had tried this path more often in college, she might have been able to get a diploma.

"Just send me to the garrison base. I will explain the relevant matters to Lin Xuan myself. You don't have to worry about being blamed."

The white-haired girl put the matte-treated black rifle back on her back.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

Lin Xuan was probably hiding something, even though he acted as if nothing had happened.

However, giving up collecting information on the indigenous people and firmly considering the Star White Tower as the primary target did not seem like his past strategic habit of casting a wide net.

There was a reason that made him calm but urgent to achieve his goal.

And it could very well be a matter of his life.

"Just like the previous tactical plan against [Slash All Evils], since we can't confront her head-on, we can start with her identity as a 'contracted spirit'."

"This is also true for Lin Xuan."

Xia Shimi sent the message via text message and received a response from Lin Xuan, as well as the other party's apology that he might not be back for more than a month.

Passed through the alliance branch's teleportation array.

The girl walked alone towards the garrison base - towards her battlefield.

Dark purple demonic wolves pounced on her. There were more than a dozen of them, the Abyss Blood species.

Each of them has the strength of "Gray and Twisted", and when they work together, they can approach the dangerous level of "Dark Green Abnormal".

Far superior to the White Walkers wandering in the underworld.

Xia Shimi didn't look back. Her hand gently brushed across the holster on her thigh ring, and more than a dozen bullets without smoke and surrounded by magic halos flew out.

Boom, boom, boom.

The magic wolves, which had already formed a formation, fell down in a flying posture.

Their pupils were wide open, their tongues were drooling and sticking out of their fangs, and the magic crystal core on their foreheads, which represented their fatal point, was shattered by the precise bullets.

“Ahhhh——”

The last demon wolf fell to the ground, looking around in horror at the corpses of its companions.

Blood gushed out of the carotid artery.

It's the only one left alive.

"Roar!" The demon wolf widened its eyes in anger, and a green wind surged violently from its fur covered with abyss purple patterns.

It knows that humans (Qi Ling) who are full of fighting spirit are dangerous objects and should not be approached casually.

But how can this tiny, weak human being, who has nothing, pose such a great threat?
She must be killed, here!

Dark purple lines spread to its brain, and its animal blood boiled in its body, suppressing the pain and fear brought by the death of its companions.

boom.

The wind died down.

"Sure enough, after the magical transformation, it still takes some time to get used to the feel."

Xia Shimi put down her rifle and whispered softly.

She didn't turn back to check the body. There was no need to waste time on an entity of this level, it would not help her strength.

The channel between the Qi Ling and the Qi Ling Envoy is bidirectional.

During this month, she could clearly sense that for some inexplicable reason, Lin Xuan seemed to have improved by more than one level.

And the same
Her physical condition seemed to have improved a little bit.

"As a spiritual envoy, if anyone wants to harm Lin Xuan, I may be the only weakness."

Xia Shimi carefully went into the jungle nearby, ignoring the mud on the ground and letting the soil dirty her fair face.

The magic power of the previous demon wolf was leaked, and more powerful creatures came here after hearing the news.

She crouched and attached the scope to the rifle.

Aimed at the jungle in the distance.

She closed one eye and aimed silently.

He thought quietly in his heart: "It's only natural that I'm not as good as Lin Xuan."

"Although he is still reluctant to tell me, he must be a great hero in some history, some legend."

but.

Even if it was just a tiny wish or her own selfish satisfaction.

If others were looking for the young girl, they would not call her [Lin Xuan's Spirit Envoy], but [Lin Xuan's Spirit Envoy, Xia Shimi].
It would be great if we could do that.
