Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

However, when she looked at the "shell" wrapped around her body, she suddenly understood. It seemed that the painful struggle before had caused her blood and mud to stick together. Later, as her body temperature increased, the thick layer of dirty moisture on her body was evaporated, leaving a hard shell, so she became such a mud figure.

Kato Megumi felt embarrassed and struggled to stand up. As she struggled, that layer fell off piece by piece like a python shedding its skin, revealing the fair and delicate skin underneath.

It was then that Kato Megumi realized that she was not wearing any clothes. During the violent struggle, her clothes had been torn into rags, and she was now naked, with some dirt still remaining on her body.

“Ah… so dirty.”

Kato Megumi subconsciously cast a water spell and quickly gave herself a series of washes, washing herself vigorously.

She didn't stop until she felt it was almost done. She casually created a water mirror as tall as a person and stood it in front of her, wanting to see if she had cleaned herself thoroughly.

When she saw her fair skin and black hair looking brand new, Kato Megumi let out a breath and stopped washing. She naturally controlled the fire magic in the air to raise the temperature around her and evaporate the remaining water droplets on her body until she looked brand new, dry and neat. Then she took out the clothes stored in the space and put them on.

"Hmm... perfect."

Kato Megumi looked at her clean self in the mirror, lifted her skirt, and turned around gently.

"Luckily, Miss Witch didn't see my embarrassed look before, otherwise I would be so embarrassed." Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief, and then she thought of something and suddenly tilted her head and looked at herself in the mirror, with a puzzled look on her face, "Why do I always feel like something is different about me? It's obviously the familiar me, but I always feel weird. I don't know why the me in the picture has some special taste?"

When Kato Megumi fell into deep thought, she realized belatedly that many things about herself seemed to have changed.

First of all, the whole person seems to have become more beautiful and eye-catching. It is not the kind of existence that is enhanced by the sense of presence, but the whole person has a unique temperament. This temperament is ethereal and hazy, which makes her more eye-catching.

Secondly, Kato Megumi discovered that she seemed to be able to project her mental power. She could use her mental power to check out the surrounding scenery and was no longer blocked by her vision. However, the distance was limited to 500 meters and could not be too far.

Not only that, she could also feel that her control of magic seemed to have become more arbitrary. She could freely control the magic power in the air, and she had entered the fourth level of transcendence - change.

This means that magic can be shaped and transformed at will, and can be transformed into each other at will.

Unlike the previous magic, when she used magic, she could only create ice blades and fireballs. Now, she could use magic to transform things at will, such as turning ice into water and water into gas, and she could also compress them at will, greatly improving her combat effectiveness.

Kato Megumi looked relieved.

"I didn't expect to accidentally increase the strength of my mental power. It's really a blessing in disguise... I was almost there."

Thinking of the previous scene, Kato Megumi still trembles unconsciously.

After all, it was so painful at the time. The double tearing of her mind and body made her will blurred, but it also aroused her ruthlessness to survive. She tried her best to use her mental strength to compress the huge power of faith.

Not only that, the huge power of faith was not just her own, it also contained the power of faith from the outside world. Those impure powers of faith contained a large amount of positive and negative emotions and scattered fragments of consciousness, which not only consumed and collided with her own mental power, but also tried to assimilate her mental power, causing her to almost dissipate.

If the backflow of faith power had not suddenly stopped at that time, and Kato Megumi had not exerted all her strength to instantly compress the huge power, causing those emotions and fragments to flow back and return along the original path; she really didn't know whether she could survive this disaster and survive successfully.

He immersed his consciousness into his spiritual sea and saw at a glance the culprit who caused him to suffer such an incident. The deep, dark and lightless spiritual space was no longer as empty and dark as before. He saw a huge nebula slowly rotating. In the middle of the nebula, there was a huge "golden elixir" emitting dazzling golden light. It was the rotation of this "golden elixir" that attracted countless stars around it, making them rotate with it and no longer wander around and cause destruction. The spiritual sea was no longer as dark as before.

The golden elixir is the huge faith that he has compressed with his spiritual power, and the surrounding nebulae are the impurities of the power of faith, containing countless emotions and memory fragments.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 196 Chapter The Appearance of Nebula

Kato Megumi didn't know why the power of her faith turned into a golden elixir, but this golden elixir was not simply pure power of faith.

The golden elixir not only contains the power of faith, but also its own magic power and spiritual power. The core inside the golden elixir is the power of its own existence.

With the sense of existence as the core, mental strength as the skeleton, faith and magic as the filling, and countless positive and negative emotions and memory fragments as the guards, such a nebula was formed by chance.

This is the transformation of disaster into blessing.

Because this golden elixir nebula does not exist in the spiritual sea without any function.

In Kato Megumi's perception, the power of the golden elixir not only integrated all the powers tightly together, but also integrated with each other to form a power that belongs to itself. This golden elixir power carries the variability of magic and the softness of faith.

The rotation of the nebula also produced an inexplicable pulling force, which actively absorbed the external faith and magic power into the sea of ​​consciousness. After being filtered by the stars and gravel in the nebula, it turned into a pure force and merged into the golden elixir, nourishing and watering the fused golden elixir.

The two complement each other and provide herself with a container to store power. She can also actively absorb external power to purify and store it. This is Kato Megumi's biggest gain this time. It is equivalent to people of the same level casting spells. She has one more golden elixir to store than others. How can this not make people happy?

After all, it takes mental power to control external magic. When the mental power is exhausted, the magician himself is equivalent to losing his weapon and can no longer cast spells. He can only wait for recovery.

However, with this golden elixir, things were different, because Kato Hui could feel that this golden elixir seemed to have been integrated into his spiritual power and had become a part of his body, ready to be used at will.

In other words, if you use the power of this golden elixir, it will not consume your mental energy, and it will be just like your hands and feet, making it more convenient and easy to use.

Not only that, Kato Megumi could also feel that if she used the power of the golden elixir to use magic and divine arts, the boundary between the two types of spells would disappear. Not only would there be no system barriers between the spells, but they could also be transformed into each other.

Of course, she still didn't know how to convert it, but in short, she could use the two together. After all, although she could use magic power to perform divine arts, it was still unnatural, and not only was it time-consuming, but the effect was also much worse. But if she used the power of the golden elixir, it would be different, because the power of the golden elixir was filtered by the nebula, and after the fusion of three powers, the power was not only pure, but also more powerful.

"But... it's a blessing in disguise. It's mostly luck that I'm where I am now."

But it’s better to avoid such disasters in the future. After all, this time I was just lucky, and I don’t know what will happen next time.

After seeing her current situation clearly, Kato Megumi did not delay and hurried out of the space.

Returning to the bedroom, feeling the long-lost sunlight coming in from the window, Kato Megumi squinted her eyes and stretched comfortably, then opened the door and went downstairs.

“Meihui! You finally came out!”

As soon as she went downstairs, Kato Hui heard a familiar voice.

"Dorothy? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Look, Ying Lili, Ying Lili..."

"Eri!? Did something happen to her?"

Dora came running over holding Eriri, and Kato Megumi asked worriedly.

"No, that's not it. It's just that Eriri fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet. Huihui, you are her master, go and see what happened to her."

"Klina said you were practicing and didn't want to be disturbed, so they asked Priest Aina to help take a look, but they couldn't see any problems. They just said there was no big problem, but they didn't know when you would wake up."

After hearing what Doro said, Kato Megumi finally felt relieved. As long as nothing happened, it would be fine. As for the coma, let's wait and see what the situation is!

"Fell asleep? Is there something wrong?"

After all, Eriri is a spirit, not a normal cat, so maybe something went wrong.

Kato Megumi took Eriri into her arms, caressed her gently, and observed her carefully.

I saw the orange cat sleeping soundly. It looked like it just fell asleep. It was not hurt or weak. It was completely normal.

"No! I just fell asleep suddenly three days ago. I thought it was just normal sleepiness, but Eriri hasn't woken up for several days. I've been so bored these past few days without her giving me comics to read!"

Looking at Duoluo's anxious face, she angrily poked Yinglili with her finger and looked unhappy.

"Don't worry, I'll use the contract to sense it."

Kato Megumi frowned and began to use her mental power to sense the contract, trying to get information about why Eriri was in a coma.

After a while, her frown relaxed and her expression became more relaxed.

"Don't worry...it's just awakening the power."

"Awakening power?"

"Well... Eriri is my contracted beast. Because my power has undergone a drastic change, her awakening has also accelerated. She is just receiving the baptism of power and has fallen into a coma. She should wake up when the awakening is complete."

I don’t know what kind of power will awaken, but I’m sure Eriri will be very happy when she wakes up!

After all, classmate Eriri had always been complaining about me before, saying that without power I would be held back and unable to help myself. Now that I have awakened my power, I won't be so powerless in the future anyway.

"I see... There haven't been any good comics to read these days..."

Dora pouted.

"Comics? I have some here..."

"Really? Are there comics about robots going on space adventures?"

Dora's eyes instantly brightened as she looked at Kato Megumi.

"Robots? Gundam? Yes, we have them..."

Kato Megumi thought about it, took out the comic book that Eriri had placed in the space, and handed it to Dora.

“Is this the comic strip?”

Dorothy was very excited.

"Wow! It's a new robot! I like it."

"Hmm, I'm glad you like it... But I'll have to trouble you to take care of our Eriri."

“Yeah, no need for Huihui to tell me, I will definitely take care of the kitten!”

Duoluo nodded. After all, even if the cat was sleepy, she could still stroke its fur.

"Then I'll trouble you. I'll go to the temple first."

"Yeah! Have a nice trip, Huihui."

Following Dora Genki's voice, Kato Megumi left the villa and headed for the temple.

Along the way, she lowered her presence and listened to the civilians discussing the new crops. Kato Megumi thought for a moment and walked towards the newly opened grocery department.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 197 Chapter Everyday Farce

After a while, Kato Megumi arrived at her destination.

Due to the opening of the grocery store, the flow of people on South Street increased again, but there seemed to be some problems with the distribution in front of the grocery store. The crowd at the door was divided into two teams. One team lined up as usual, while the other team formed a semi-oval, as if watching something.

She concealed her presence and did not attract anyone's attention. In addition, the saint's face was unknown, so Kato Megumi easily squeezed through the crowd and entered without being noticed.

It turned out that the store staff of the grocery store were staring at several people at the door, and there seemed to be some dispute.

Behind them were several people sleeping on the ground.

Looking at the crowd around talking, Kato Megumi asked the onlookers nearby.

"Do you know what's going on in there? Aren't they selling high-yield grain seeds? Why is there an argument here?"

The person being asked saw that it was a young girl and kindly explained.

"Hey, girl, you don't know, this has been a few waves..."

The man sighed several times and then pointed at the people lying on the ground.

"Did you see those people lying on the ground? They were poisoned after eating the food seeds distributed here. That's why they started a fight with the store."

"Poisoned?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"Yeah...it seems that the potato seeds here will contain toxins once they sprout, so eating them will cause poisoning."

The man explained disapprovingly.

"But everyone knows this. Those who buy seeds all know this. It's nothing. After all, this is the temple's property and was prepared by the Saint. The Saint has done so many things before, and it makes people feel that everything is cost-effective and convenient. Naturally, we will trust the Saint."

Speaking of this, the man was somewhat disdainful.

"But people's hearts have changed. Some people are extremely ignorant. I heard that when the store registers to buy grain seeds, if someone eats poisonous potatoes by mistake, they will not only be treated for free, but also given money as a consolation. So, some people have come here with such an idea and have made trouble many times. Those of us who often stroll around South Street have seen it many times."

"Eh? This has happened so many times? Doesn't the temple care?"

"Of course I care... Little girl, you don't know that all those people were imprisoned by the temple without exception."

Seeing that the man looked like he wanted to ask a question himself, Kato Megumi smiled inwardly and asked the question as he wished.

"Why is that? Didn't the temple say it would help with treatment?"

"Hey! Little girl, you've asked the right person. I've seen so many farces, and I know everything about this." The men looked at the people lying on the ground with disdain and said sarcastically, "Although the temple said that it would provide treatment and compensation to those who were accidentally poisoned, this is based on the premise that the poisoning was not intentional."

"However, every time the troublemakers came, I don't know whether they despised the authority of the temple or were greedy, thinking they could deceive the public and get compensation. But who knew that these lucky people could not hide from the judgment of the priests. After investigation, those who were poisoned were confirmed to have deliberately eaten poisonous potatoes. The result is self-evident. They were all arrested and sent to prison for forced labor."

"Reeducation through labor?"

"Well... little girl, you don't know yet, right? It is said that this is a new punishment introduced by the temple. It can not only punish the guilty, but also create value through their labor. It is said that those who deliberately poisoned themselves were sent to the farmland and supervised to farm after they recovered."

"Eh~ Is that so? Then why are these people still arguing?"

In response to Kato Megumi's question, the man pointed to the several people in armor who were arguing inside.

"Did you see those people? They were ignorant outside adventurers. When they heard that the temple was going to capture those they thought were victims, they began to help them resist."

The man sighed when he said this.

"Alas, these adventurers are still too naive. You can tell at a glance that they are newcomers who have not experienced the world."

"Girl, don't you know? In fact, such farces happen almost every day, and even several times a day. Fortunately, the priests in the temple don't mind these things. They deal with these people while distributing food seeds to us, so we have the scene of queuing and joining in the fun."

"Don't think that we, the onlookers, are enjoying the show. We are just having fun. We have either already received the grain seeds or don't need them at all, so we have time to watch. Don't think that we are arguing vigorously now. It's just that the person in charge hasn't come out yet and the adventurers are still being deceived. This farce will be resolved soon."

The man has experienced many such scenes and is no longer surprised.

Sure enough, after a while, the person in charge of the store came out and started talking to the adventurers who were protecting the poisoned person. Then he took out the registration form in his hand and showed it to them. He also asked the priest of the Goddess of Fairness of the Adventurer's Guild to perform a lie detector test on those people.
