"I never expected to find the Blue Flower here!"

"Thank God!"

to afternoon.

Ryan and Claire, who were still exploring the wilderness, were drawn by the guide's loud exclamation and hurried over to see what was going on.

Sure enough, following the direction the guide pointed, Ryan could see a very bright blue flower.

Ryan's pupils contracted sharply; he knew about the blue flower.

It's a flower that can only grow in soil with sufficient moisture.

The juice extracted from its petals is said to replenish magical energy and calm the mind.

Due to its extremely demanding living conditions, it cannot be cultivated on a large scale.

The once-popular magic supplement was made from the juice of the hydrangea flower.

However, during the war between the four kingdoms, a large number of mages were involved in the battle, which greatly increased the demand for magic replenishment, leading to the frenzied harvesting of the Blue Flower.

Ultimately, it became an endangered species.

Nowadays, only a few scattered flowers can be seen in some obscure places.

The once vibrant sea of ​​blue flowers has become nothing more than pictures in history books.

Logically speaking, the blue flower should not be able to appear in the arid and hot town of Vita.

This doesn't make sense.

Ryan was shocked and incredulous.

The guide meant that the appearance of the blue flower here meant that this barren land had finally won the favor of the goddess.

One day in the future, this place will surely become a thriving scene of lush greenery and competition among all things.

But Ryan didn't think so.

Although he was a member of the Vatican, he did not believe in those idealistic theological doctrines.

Although this is a magical world, in his view, everything still has a cause and effect.

The presence of the blue flower here only proves one thing.

The soil conditions here have changed, becoming suitable for the survival of the blue violet.

But if this assumption is true, then what exactly caused this change?

Ryan gazed at the delicate flower, which shimmered with a pale blue glow in the sunlight, and fell into deep thought.

Claire didn't think too much about it; she simply liked the color of the blue flower.

I think it looks great.

"Mentor Ryan, since the Blue Flower is so precious, why don't we take it and bring it back to the academy to cultivate?"

Ryan began explaining to Claire.

"Actually, many people had the same idea as you back then. However, the blue flower is a very magical plant. When it is still a seed, the blue flower has very strict requirements for the soil conditions for survival. Once it has taken root and sprouted, it cannot be moved."

"If you dig it up, the blue flower will wither very quickly and lose its effect."

"Although scholars have not yet figured out the essence of this phenomenon, there are some reasonable guesses. That is, the Blue Flower, like humans, forms a magical circuit underground after it blooms, which we cannot observe."

"Through these magic-like circuits, the Blue Flower can absorb magic from the soil to nourish itself."

“Once these magic-like circuits are destroyed, the Blue Flower will wither.”

After saying that, Ryan squatted down, placed his hands on the ground, and felt the flow of magic deep within the ground.

Then, he shook his head.

"Unfortunately, the groundwater in this area is almost dried up, and the flow of magic is also very thin. If nothing unexpected happens, this Blue Flower will wither and die at dawn three days from now."

The guide clearly could not accept this statement.

"That's impossible! The blue flower is a gift from heaven! How could it wither!"

Ryan naturally wouldn't argue with her too much.

How can there be a flower in this world that never withers?

If what she said is true, then the blue flower has long been found in every corner of the continent, so how could it be an endangered species?

Claire crouched down beside the blue flower, gently touching its vibrant petals with her fingers.

"Mentor Ryan, if we pour the water we're carrying into it, will it revive it?"

Ryan shook his head.

"Because water is only one of the essential elements for its survival. The most important nutrients are actually the magic flowing underground and the magic-like circuits mentioned earlier."

"The magic here is almost completely depleted now, and there's nothing we can do."

"Unfortunately, this beauty can only last for three days at most."

During her travels, Claire witnessed the passing of many lives.

Sand lizards fighting sand wolves, animal carcasses eroded by wind and sand, animal cubs lying dead in the wilderness, and ants and insects devouring their flesh.

Perhaps what Ryan said is true.

This world is actually very cruel; there is competition every moment.

Survival of the fittest.

However, Claire was ultimately unable to be like Ryan, calmly observing everything in the world as if she were the master of the river of time.

Her heart was still churning.

She wanted to save the flower.

------

This is because we need to consider the time it will take to return to Vita town, and that we will soon reach the border.

Ryan had no intention of wasting time explaining to the soldiers stationed at the border their origins and that they were not spies sent by hostile forces.

So, after walking for another half a day, the three of them began their return journey.

Claire remained silent throughout the journey.

He was holding his laptop, head down, looking very disappointed.

That night, while camping, Claire wasn't as close to Ryan as she had been the day before. Instead, she hid alone in her tent, writing something with a pen in her mouth.

Ryan naturally noticed Claire's change in mood.

Seeing that the guide had already fallen asleep in the pit, he lifted the tent flap and went inside.

Upon seeing Ryan, Claire panicked and immediately closed the notebook in her hand and placed it behind her back.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Claire hesitated for a moment, then blushed and shook her head.

Ryan smiled and sat down next to Claire, gently stroking her head and pulling her into his arms.

"You can't lie at all; your worries are written all over your face."

Claire, realizing her thoughts had been read, puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction: "No way..."

Ryan pinched Claire's soft, chubby cheek: "Are you trying to revive that blue flower?"

Claire looked at the night sky outside the tent and murmured to herself.

“Mentor Ryan, do you think someone with my personality is unsuitable to be a magician?”

"Why do you say that?"

“Look, it was the same with the sand wolves before, and it’s the same with the blue flowers this time. I want to save them. But as you said, it’s all about nature’s choice.”

"But I can't be as calm as you. I'll be sad too when I see them die..."

“Mentor Ryan…is it only calm people like you who can become excellent magicians?”

So this is ah.

Ryan suddenly understood.

“I can tell you with certainty, Claire. A person who is absolutely calm like a stone, and who cannot be moved by anything, will never become a good magician, even if they can use magic.”

"Because there is some kind of connection between human emotions and magical circuits."

"You could say that human emotions are the driving force behind magic circuits."

"Joy, sadness, longing... even love. The appearance of these emotions will cause the magic circuits to burst with enormous energy. On the other hand, the magic circuits of an absolutely calm person will be like a stagnant pool."

Ryan's words clearly had a very good effect on Claire's emotional well-being.

"I, can it really be done?"

“Of course.” Ryan pinched her chin and gently kissed her. “You are my student. I will make you the greatest magician in the world.”

Claire felt a warm glow inside.

However, she didn't have such grand ambitions. Being with her mentor, Ryan, was enough happiness for her.

After releasing Claire's lips, Ryan smiled and pulled her up.

"Let's go back and take another look at that blue flower."

Meeting Claire's bright eyes, Ryan said, "As I said before, everything is a natural choice."

"The reason why the human world is so prosperous today is precisely because we are dissatisfied with this kind of choice that is devoid of any emotion, and we want to change it and become happier."

"So, there are some things we can try to change. At the very least, we should give it a try."
