I will never give in to Miss Death
Page 321
Gabriel's attitude was firm: "I am an angel, and I have my beliefs."
"There are many delicious foods here. You have never tasted them before. They are even better than ambergris."
"Oh, thank you. I'll just go back and eat some ambergris. If an angel can't even resist the desire to fill his stomach, he can't be considered an angel at all."
“There are still many things that shine here.”
Philo continued to try to seduce the other party: "It's not obvious during the day, wait until night and see it again. As an angel, you will definitely like it."
"I……"
Hearing Philo mention "light", Gabriel hesitated: "Even so, I can't disobey..."
"okay."
At this time, Yin Xiamo stood up and said, "You two have been fighting for so long, have you run out of magic power?"
"I don't have a drop left."
Filo smiled bitterly: "The production of dragon milk may drop a little in the next few days."
"I don't have much magic left."
Gabriel said calmly: "But it doesn't matter. There are no war-related matters to deal with in Heaven recently. I will be able to recover in a month or two after I go back."
“That’s not the problem.”
Yin Xiamo tilted her head and smiled her signature smile again: "There is almost no magic power on Earth. If you want to rely on your own recovery, it will take at least half a year to fully recover."
“That’s why I want to go back.”
Gabriel blurted out: "This world is too weird, there is no magic at all. Momo, take me to the cave we went to before."
"I can take you there, but..."
Yin Xiamo paused for a moment: "The forbidden spell of the barrier is a super large magic. You just fought with Filo and used up all your magic power. Can you still use it now?"
"what?"
Gabriel was stunned for a while before she lowered her head and raised her hands, as if she was trying to use some magic. Then a confused expression appeared on her face: "I...it seems not working."
"I can't help you with the forbidden spell."
Yin Xiamo covered her mouth and laughed: "In other words... you can't go back for the time being."
"..."

Even I didn’t expect that Yin Xiamo would “keep” Gabriel on Earth in this way.
Moreover, through this incident I also learned a little knowledge about the other world, that is, things like "magic power" cannot be shared or transmitted one-way under the laws there.
It is actually very easy to understand. Let me make an analogy... During physical education class, everyone goes out to run. Some people get tired after running five laps and are so weak that they can't even stand up. Those students who didn't run can't say, "I'm full of energy, I'll give you some of my strength so that you can run another ten laps." Without this rule, "energy", which should be considered "energy", is almost impossible to be transferred directly from one person to another in an instant. If there was such a rule, not only Newton, but also those who study biology and chemistry would become zombie kings.
If a person has no magic power, he can either stay at home to recuperate and rely on his own body to recover slowly, or absorb the magic elements in the air to quickly restore his magic power. There is no other way, and there is no such thing as "replenishing magic power".
The former is generally less effective and has very high requirements on the magician's own quality and food. Just like Philo here, after having a seafood dinner at night, the ordinary person's body will convert the excess energy from eating into fat, which is commonly known as getting fat. Some people have poor genes, and eating too much seafood will increase purine and uric acid, which will lead to various problems. However, if Philo eats too much, the excess food energy will not be converted into a lot of fat, but will only become "magic power" or "dragon milk."
The food you eat is high in calories and has strong magic power, so your magic power recovers quickly.
However, there is no food on Earth that has its own magical power, so if the magicians here use up their magic power and only rely on food to recover, the speed will be extremely slow.
As for the latter "absorbing magic elements in the air", it is also the best way for angels like Gabriel to recover magic. It is said that the angels in the other world have a high magic recovery rate and are good at protracted battles. This is due to their super strong magic absorption ability. The more abundant the magic elements, the faster the recovery. For example, the angels' hometown, the Holy Heaven, is full of light elements.
But the thing is… Earth has no magic.
To use the game's terminology, the Angel's passive ability is ineffective on Earth.
The magic power absorption of other races is 10%, and that of angels is 80%, but there is no magic on Earth, so all races are treated equally, and the magic power recovery of all races is zero.
The most important thing is that the "forbidden magic" requires huge magical power and must be cast personally. No one else can do it on your behalf. If Xiaomo does it on your behalf, it will not be Gabriel who travels back in time, but Xiaomo.
"You angels are not like dragons. You rarely eat in heaven, so you basically don't rely on food to restore energy. It's okay there, but it's a disadvantage here."
Under the bright sunshine, although Yin Xiamo looked calm the whole time, I could still see a deep sinister intention in her half-smile. She turned to Gabriel and said in a comforting tone, "It's okay. It's okay to go back a few days later. Nuoer and I have lived here for a long time, and Filo is familiar with the environment. We can all take good care of you."
"How long will it take to restore your magic power by eating?"
Under the sunlight, Gabriel looked like a model going out for a photo album shoot. She was mad: "Besides, eating and drinking too much is a taboo for angels! It's a sin of appetite!"
"Filo and I have done some tests these days. As a dragon, her food absorption rate is very high. Plus, if Nuo is given a glass of milk every day, her magic power can recover about 2% every day. It will be fully recovered in about days. I mean the time here."
Yin Xiamo smiled wryly and said, "Angels have this... um, the sin of appetite. They don't like to eat, so the efficiency of your magic conversion from food has deteriorated seriously. So it will take at least three months to fully recover. Even if you recover to the level of being able to use forbidden spells, it will take another month."
"I will be expelled from the Archangel status..."
It can be felt that Gabriel was extremely anxious when she heard this. She had a sad face and her voice was trembling: "Momo, is there no other way? I...three days at most. As long as I can go back within three days, it will be fine. You created this channel, you should have a way, right?"
"No, this is a forbidden spell. You must have understood the meaning of the forbidden spell before you came here, right?"
Yin Xiamo put on an attitude of "I have fulfilled my obligations": "After coming here, I also reminded you that it is best not to fight with Filo, but you just don't believe it. This is your choice. It's useless to come back to me now..."
Oh boy, now I know why Xiaomo is a devil.
Yin Xiamo's aggrieved look beside me reminded me of her attitude towards Gabriel in the cave before.
At that time, Xiaomo pretended to be very weak, looking like "wanting to stop Gabriel but being a little afraid", making Gabriel mistakenly believe that both Xiaomo and Filo were afraid of her, which must have increased her desire to fight.
I don’t believe that Xiaomo didn’t do it on purpose.
She knew that the coffee shop needed an "angel", and she also knew the pressure Su Yunjin put on me. She knew even more clearly that if I really found an "angel", everyone in the coffee shop would get a huge bonus, which would be a happy thing for everyone. There was a clear motive of "keeping Gabriel on Earth".
I don’t even know who Xiaomo is!
This is how she tricked me before at the lake. She could have stopped everything before I fell into the water, but she took the phone away first with the excuse that "the phone will be damaged if it gets wet", and then watched me fall into the water. Afterwards, she "made love" with me while we soaked in the spring water and achieved her goal.
Then, after Gabriel came to Earth, she deliberately showed weakness and asked Gabriel "not to cause trouble for Philo", making the angel lady mistakenly believe that we were all afraid of her and arousing her desire to fight. This must have been planned long ago.
Xiaomo is trying to induce Gabriel and Filo to fight, the more intense the better. She also wants to create a barrier to make Gabriel think "it doesn't matter how we fight inside the barrier", so that he can let go completely and use up all his magic power.
Judging from the current situation, although Gabriel is a little bit of a "charlatan" as Philo said, she really has no scheming at all.
——Poor Gabriel, she was played around by Xiaomo.
She is really a pure angel, silly, sharp-tongued but loyal. Apart from her habit of saying some "eccentric" words and being very strict with herself, my first impression of her is quite good - it's not Gabriel's fault that she is eccentric, as angels are supposed to be that kind of person.
"One month!"
Hearing Yin Xiamo say this, Gabriel was shocked: "One month here...how long is it exactly?"
"Here, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. The time interval of seconds is about the same as ours."
Yin Xiamo said calmly: "A standard month is 30 days, but in your case... it should take at least 32 days to recover to the level where you can use forbidden spells. If you can eat well like Filo, maybe you can shorten this time to less than 25 days."
"25 days is a long time! It's long enough for me to be expelled from heaven as an angel!"
Gabriel put on a pitiful look: "Momo... cute little Mo, can you think of a solution?"
"Mana recovery is your angels' strong point. My previous research areas were mostly in the forbidden life spells and the infinite law. You can't do anything related to mana recovery, so how can I help you?"
Yin Xiamo said in a comforting tone: "Well, maybe the people in heaven haven't noticed it? Or when you go back, you can just find a reason to explain it clearly. They won't be so ruthless. You are an old angel."
"Wow...Momo also said I was old..."
Gabriel on the lawn lowered her head and covered her face with her hands: "It's over, it's over, it's really over now, it's all your fault, you made me... wuwuwu..."
"No, you really cried?"
Filo was a little surprised. She stepped forward, bent down, looked at Gabriel's face, and then grabbed the little angel's wrist. "Well, ahem, Gabriel, I work in a coffee shop here. There are a lot of delicious food there. The chef's cooking skills are super good. The food is much better than the food in the restaurants and hotels over there. If you are really anxious to go back, you can eat and drink well every day. I will share some of the dragon milk for Noel with you. You should be able to go back in about 20 days."
"Even if it's 20 days, it's over..."
Gabriel's tone was really tearful when she spoke: "I am helping to build the church for the Centaurs this year. I have many tasks this month. I sneaked out today. The miners who have been away for 20 days will definitely hold me accountable..."
"No, we have been friends with those old charlatans for many years, and you have dedicated so much of your youth to the Holy Heaven. They will not remove your title of Archangel because of such a small matter."
Philo helped Gabriel up like he was coaxing a child: "Alright, alright, dear, you are already a grown-up, and you are still crying. Look at you, how can an angel cry over such a small matter? At worst, I can go find them as the Dragon King. I also ran away secretly."
Gabriel stood up, a little unconvinced: "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you? How dare the Holy Heaven tell you what to do? I will take those old antiques from the Dragon Clan to Heaven to seek justice!"
Philo secretly made a face towards us, then stretched out his hands and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Gabriel's eyes. "Since we can't go back for the time being, let's go to the coffee shop where I work. I'll take you to try the craftsmanship and essence passed down by humans who have lived in a magic-free environment for thousands of years."
"You sound so nice, but it's just ordinary coffee."
Gabriel looked a little unconvinced: "Without magic power, plants like the Little Magic Grass and Fairy Cloud Grass would definitely not grow. There are not many animals that produce milk, so how many tricks can be made with ordinary coffee!"
"You know what? Because of the simplicity and few ingredients, many things here taste surprisingly good."
Filo gestured to the customers coming in and out of the coffee shop not far away: "You should have seen cars and buses on the way here just now, right? There is no magic, no magicians, and no griffins or dragons here, but their means of transportation can be made so exquisitely. The same goes for food. Because there are fewer things here than in our world, humans can calm down and specialize in cooking... I promise you will like it!"
"I do not believe."
"If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. Nuo'er is my witness. I will take you to taste the most delicious coffee flavors one by one. It is said that angels have a very good taste. Let's challenge them today."
As he said that, Filo turned and glanced at Xiaomo and me: "Right, Nuoer?"
"Ah... um."
I quickly agreed: "Just tell our chef what you want to eat. I will strictly control the ingredients in the kitchen."
"Right? You also know that Noel is the reincarnation of the hero. Although she has no memory of the hero at all, the hero's character is obvious to everyone, and he will definitely not lie."
Philo took Gabriel's arm and took the initiative to pull the little angel towards the coffee shop: "Let's go, it's a rare occasion for us to go out and have fun, so let's ignore those old stubborn people in Holy Heaven, relax, eat something from another world, and take a look at the high technology here..."
"So, do I win the duel just now?"
"Well... let's just say you beat me by a tiny bit, only 0.1%."
"That won't work. At least I won by 10 percent."
"How can you bargain like that? One percent."
"Half a fifth!"
"Okay, okay, then you have to drink up all the milk tea I made. It's delicious."
"What kind of magical thing is milk tea? Milk and tea leaves?"
"And pearls."
"Pearls? You eat giant squid eggs?"
"..."
Seeing Filo and Gabriel walking towards the coffee shop hand in hand, I straightened my messy skirt a little and turned to Yin Xiamo: "It feels like you two are teaming up to bully others. That angel is a bit pitiful."
"Not really. Although I personally don't like the weird look of angels, most of them don't have any bad intentions. They are very simple. Gabriel is one of them."
Yin Xiamo returned to her usual girlish form in the sunlight. Her height dropped suddenly, her breasts shrank to their previous size, and the lightning in her eyes disappeared. "Angel was one of the main forces in the war back then. After the war, Gabriel didn't rest for a single day. She was busy with post-war reconstruction every day until now."
"Have you been busy till now?"
I asked curiously, "Gabriel?"
"Well, you can think of her as Ouyang Xue over there, who is busy all day long just for the so-called responsibility and faith. Philo often harasses her in order to give Gabriel a break, but that guy never seems to understand what Philo means."
Yin Xiamo rubbed my head as if to comfort a small animal, and walked towards the two people in front of her, saying as she walked: "This is what I discussed with Filo. Pull her into the barrier to use up her magic power, and let Gabriel come to Earth to play for a few days, so that she can rest."
"Well……"
I followed him curiously: "Well... just now I saw that Gabriel seemed really sad. Is the holy heaven over there really that strict?"
"Yes, Heaven is very rigid, but it doesn't matter. Filo, Gabriel and I are all heroes in the Demon War. They will only say a few words in private at most, but they won't really take away Gabriel's angel title. Even if Gabriel plays around on Earth for a few hundred years, it doesn't matter. The post-war reconstruction work can be carried out without her. It's just that Gabriel is used to being busy."
Yin Xiamo smiled and said, "Nuo'er, you underestimate their friendship. We have already developed a tacit understanding over thousands of years. I have been silent over there for a long time. Philo knew the general situation when he saw the reserved coordinates. By teasing Gabriel, he clearly hoped that the angel would chase after him. Just like before, Philo hoped that Gabriel could take a break and not think about work every day."
"Gabriel herself probably knew what Filo meant. She must have thought about the consequences before teleporting here to fight with Filo. She must have guessed that she might not be able to return, but she still came here... Well, No'er, you are still young and may not understand it very well. That's how they are."
Eh?
Did they know all this about each other?
Philo deliberately provoked Gabriel, and then Gabriel was deliberately fooled and came here to fight, and then ran out of magic power and couldn't go back, just because the two of them trusted each other?
I saw Gabriel crying just now, and I thought she...
"But that little angel probably really cares about her reputation in heaven."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Yin Xiamo added, "We can only say that we will try to let her try the signature dishes and milk tea of the coffee shop later. In the evening, we can go around together and let her see this beautiful world. This will divert her attention."
