Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 85 Introduction to Magic
"Magic is not simple..."

The Poro used his claws to repeatedly turn over a page of a book, comparing its meaning with the context.

The queen recorded her experience of practicing magic in this notebook. At the beginning, the queen, also known as the Mirror Witch, did not have a high level of magic.

Even among all witches, she is at the lowest level.

But with the help of the magic mirror, she was able to solve one spellcasting problem after another, becoming stronger and stronger... and now, all these insights and experiences belong to Poro.

Although Poro gained some of the spellcasting experience of the Blue and Red Witches through the fairy power of [Spiral Beacon: Witch], he also mastered some of it through practice.

But the experience gained through power is still different from that gained through self-study.

In other words... every witch's magic may be similar, but they can never be exactly the same!
In the world, only a few people have magical talents.

Among these people, the number of women is far greater than that of men.

Among these people, an even smaller number have the opportunity to come into contact with magic... and among this group of people, only a few have enough wisdom and conditions to master this power.

So...even if the world is big.

But over the years, magic is still extremely rare and difficult to popularize!

"Magic...is highly correlated with the experiences and desires of the caster..."

Poro whispered the few words written on the page. These were the concepts marked by the queen, about the release of magic, and there were many complex theories -

The most difficult one even reminded Poro of advanced mathematics in his previous life!

Well, magic really does require talent.

Just like advanced mathematics - if you don’t know, you don’t know!
But Poro has the power reflection given by [Spiral Beacon: Witch], so it will definitely be several times faster for him to get started than ordinary beginners!
Besides...if the advanced mathematics in my previous life could be as awesome as magic after learning it...

Even if Poro learns until he dies suddenly, he will still be tested until he faints a hundred times!

"Control... the magic created by the Queen with the help of the magic mirror, namely those... the ribbons wrapped around the necks of the soldiers and those in the palace, a magical product."

Poro carefully read some relatively simple things in the book. This magic is very difficult. It is definitely not the kind of magic that can be mastered in a day or two!

It not only requires magical compatibility and spellcasting skills, but also extremely superb weaving skills.

"Huh? What is this?"

After turning over a few long and complex pages filled with text, Poro saw a somewhat complicated magic diagram drawn in the center of the next page.

"Oh, it's called the Psychic Construction Array. It seems to be used to help...improve magical compatibility?"

Poro found the function of this micro formation through [Spiral Beacon: Witch].

And...some minor side effects. Most magic casters would not use other people's mind-constructed arrays, just as the previous theory said -

Magic...is highly correlated with the experiences and desires of the caster.

If used frequently, it may have extremely dangerous effects on the mind!

"If you use it once or twice in a short period of time, it won't be a big problem."

With the experience gained from [Spiral Beacon: Witch], Poro calmed down, reached out his hand, touched the formation in front of him, and activated it with a special mental method and a little magic power.

The bonfire not far away quickly moved away, and the light of the flames began to change...

It followed the illusion and turned into a...moonlight-like color.

It's a mirror.

This thought flashed through Poro's mind, and instantly, the white light around him began to flow -

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed!

"What is this place—an illusion?"

Poro's expression froze, and his soul made some thoughts of escaping, but he keenly noticed that the scene before him was illusory again and was about to return to reality.

Oh, fortunately, I can take the initiative to get out of this illusion at any time!
Poro breathed a sigh of relief and immersed his mind in the illusion.

Mirrors. Countless mirrors surrounded the Poro from all directions, and the illusion gradually became more real, with details becoming more and more obvious.

Poro saw the details of the mirror appearing rapidly!

The shape of the mirror, the pattern on the edge of the mirror - it was exactly the shattered magic mirror!

In each mirror, the face of Poro... no, the face of the Queen, the Mirror Witch, was reflected.

"Mirror, mirror, please tell me—what should I do so that everyone will respect me completely, obey me, and follow the path I want without deviation?"

Poro heard the queen's voice coming from "his own" mouth.

At the same time, the mirrors on all sides uttered the same answer at the same time: "You can only do this if everyone becomes your puppet.

Otherwise, as long as their minds and souls still have a glimmer of possibility for self-determination, their free will will not disappear!"

The next moment, Poro suddenly felt an emotion that did not belong to him surging from the bottom of his heart.

He was startled again, but after realizing that this emotion, which did not belong to him, was just like the illusion itself, and that he could freely enter and exit it by utilizing the special characteristics of his soul, he quickly immersed himself in it again...

I want to... control them, control everyone!

I don't want to see them looking at me with anything other than respect, that would make me very uncomfortable!

I was born noble!
The mirror in front of him was distorted and chaotic. A woman in her forties or fifties appeared in the mirror. She looked somewhat like the queen.

"Weave these ribbons well. The court merchants love them. If you sell some more, you'll be able to eat some meat next month!"

Then, the queen's voice sounded, and compared to reality, it seemed much younger:

"But the money we sold this week is enough to buy some meat, right?"

"Your father is going to gamble it away again tonight. He's going to lose it all, nine times out of ten. What can I do?"

"But I've already advised him, haven't I?"

"Oh, what's the use?"

In the mirror, the woman who looked like the queen's biological mother laughed miserably, "Unless you can tie him up at home like a dog with your ribbon, he will obey you!"

The sound fades away, but the rich emotions bring a strong sense of immersion.

The countless mirrors in front of my eyes rotated again, and one of them slowly stopped in front of my eyes.

Among them, a man dressed like a butler, holding a ribbon, walked to an extremely luxurious carriage. In the carriage, a white hand stretched out and took the ribbon.

"Miss, are you satisfied with this ribbon..."

At the same time, Poro felt the queen's emotion, an inexplicable depression, or to be more precise... an extremely strong "jealousy".

The Queen's voice rang out again from Poro's own mouth:
"Why do those soldiers, those men, listen to the woman in the carriage?"

"Because the people sitting in the carriage are nobles."

"Who does the noble listen to then?"

"The king's."

"Where is the king?"

"The king listens to no one."

"They are human beings, and I am also a human being. I can be a nobleman, and I can be a king!

One day, I will make soldiers, nobles, and... the king, everyone—obey me!"

"But how are you going to do that?"

"I will tie the ribbons tightly around their necks—like a dog! Then they will obey me!"
