Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 57 Cuijing
As the needle was being threaded, the places where the black mist was bound by the silk thread made a sizzling sound, as if groaning in pain.

At this time, the amethyst dagger had already fallen on the dark crystal hidden in the black fog.

There was only a crisp sound of 'bang'.

The black fog could no longer withstand the power of the storm and began to fall apart.

At that moment, the silk threads composed of air currents suddenly straightened, tearing apart the surrounding black fog like sharp blades.

The space even began to distort, and fine gaps made up of silk threads appeared.

Like fragile glass, it was hit hard by some force.

It also looks like a spider web arranged in the moonlight, flashing a faint cold light.

The cracks spread rapidly, intertwining with each other, becoming the only scene in front of Tangcao and Xiaobai.

And those clusters of black fog became blurred in this shattered moment, like a scrambled puzzle.

But this time, the rat monster could no longer condense his physical body.

A wisp of night wind blew by, and Qin Nan's magic power and the black mist cast by the mouse monster began to disperse. In the center of the rooftop, only the broken dark crystal was left lying on the ground.

But this time, when the dark crystal was diluted to the size of a soybean, it stopped vaporizing.

Qin Nan landed lightly, and at the same time, the magic power on her body suddenly shrank, turning her back into her original bad girl appearance.

She did not go directly to find Tangcao and Xiaobai, but quickly came to the location where the dark crystal remained and picked up the soybean-sized dark crystal remnant.

"That, senior"

Tang Cao took two tentative steps forward.

"Just call me Qin Nan." Qin Nan turned around indifferently.

It's not that she has a cold personality, but because of the agreement and contract, Qin Nan doesn't want to show how enthusiastic she is towards Tang Cao, as it would be too easy to be seen through.

"Oh, okay, Sister Qin Nan?" Tang Cao didn't pay attention to Qin Nan's tone, but looked at the dark crystal in her hand curiously. "What are you doing?"

"Collecting emerald crystals." Qin Nan answered as a matter of course.

Then she suddenly thought of something, looked at Tang Cao with a strange look, and then looked at Xiaobai next to her.

"Don't tell me you didn't even tell her this?"

"Uh"

Xiaobai's expression was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Tang Cao weakly, fearing that the other party would think too much about Qin Nan's words.

"Tang Cao, I have no intention of deceiving you. I don't know what exactly happened. The situation was very complicated when I was receiving Qizhi's memories."

Carefully recalling the situation at that time, Xiaobai continued.

"I don't know what happened to the other spirit beasts, but when I was awakening my mind, I only remember having a very long dream. I can't remember anything else."

Listening quietly to Xiaobai's confession, this was the first time that Tangcao talked about these things with Xiaobai so seriously. Earlier, she was still immersed in the excitement of becoming a magical girl.

But now, after listening to what Xiaobai said, she realized that she didn't seem to know her partner well enough.

Qin Nan, standing beside her, also frowned slightly. To be honest, although this was Qin Nan's first time meeting other magical girls and spirit beasts, she was quite familiar with the magical girl community.

During the two years that she and Xiao Hui depended on each other, she often heard Xiao Hui talk about other magical girls. Unlike Xiao Bai, Xiao Hui had been a spirit beast for more than ten years, and he had experienced or come into contact with much more things than ordinary spirit beasts.

But even so, Qin Nan had never heard of a situation like Xiaobai's from Xiaohui.

Logically speaking, the enlightenment of spiritual beasts should follow the same model. It is a kind of inheritance that transcends spirit and consciousness, and it is impossible for them to fail to receive it.

However, based on Xiaobai's narration, Qin Nan only felt that this matter was a bit subtle.

It was clearly a memory transfer to open up spiritual intelligence, but Xiaobai inexplicably lost a lot of memories. If Xiaobai was not lying, this meant that some other force had interfered with this enlightenment.

Moreover, this unknown force is by no means an ordinary existence, it may be something even more bizarre.

Thinking of this, Qin Nan's expression became serious.

Elsewhere, Xiaobai continued. "I didn't mean to hide this from you, but this matter is so unbelievable that my mind is a mess, and only fragments of memory remain."

"Forget it, since you don't know, I'll tell her for you." Qin Nan took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and placed the remnant of the dark crystal in Tang Cao's palm.

"This thing is called Emerald Crystal. It's made from diluted Dark Crystal. Only some Outer Path Demons with powerful negative energy can produce this thing. Defeating Outer Path Demons and collecting Emerald Crystal is also a basic way to improve combat effectiveness."

"Can this thing increase combat effectiveness?" Tang Cao looked at the black and slightly green crystal in the palm of his hand in surprise.

"Although the Outer Path Demons were born in the inner world, their appearance is closely related to the real world. When the negative energy is diluted, the remaining energy is their soul power and natural residue."

Qin Nan crossed his arms and spoke quickly.

"Dark crystal is harmful to humans, but emerald crystal is different. Wearing or being near emerald crystal for a long time can prolong one's life and protect one from all diseases."

"And if this thing falls into the hands of a magical girl, it can also become a medium for improving magic power. As long as you absorb the essence inside, you can increase your own magic power by a small amount."

"I understand." Tang Cao blinked. "This thing is something like an experience book, right?"

"That's fine if you want to understand it that way." Qin Nan hadn't expected Tang Cao to be such a game fan. "But this is just one method. If you were a Red-level Magical Girl, you could still use it. But once you become stronger, I won't recommend it."

"Why?" Tang Cao asked.

"It's simple. Using Emerald Crystal to increase your combat power is ultimately just an external force. Your true combat power still depends on you constantly fighting to gain it."

Speaking of this, Qin Nan's eyes became much more serious.

"If you only increase your magic power in this way once, your inflated magic power will become increasingly difficult to control, and you might even end up hurting yourself."

Qin Nan's tone was very serious, as if he was stating a strict prohibition.

She was really afraid that Tang Cao in front of her would become obsessed with Cui Jing's increased magic power.

If I lead this girl astray, God knows how her brother will deal with me.

However, Xiaobai's situation is a bit strange. Qin Nan has already made up his mind that after today's incident is over, he must tell Tang Zijun about it.

Anyway, this is their own business. Even if the sky falls, there is a big boss like Tang Zijun to support it.
Thank you so much for your generous donations, dear readers!

I went to get my hair dyed this morning, sorry for the slow update, hehe.
