Problem Girls Strategy

"By the way, Huihui, how do you magicians sense magic power?" Jiang Zao suddenly realized that he had come to the magical world and had not even tried to practice magic power. He almost lost face for the army of time travelers, so he hurriedly asked the magician next to him for advice.

“Magic power?” Huihui scratched her head in confusion. “We Crimson Demons can feel magic power from birth. Who would understand this?”

Well, this is the damned bloodline race.

Asking Huihui was a mistake on Jiang Zao's part. He packed up his capsule house and headed back.

I have nothing to talk about with people like this who have a built-in cheat code.

What, me too?

That's fine.

As it turned out, Jiang Zao's original estimate of the journey time was not wrong. It took them nearly two hours to return to the guild hut in the Food Hall. Kailu was outside watering the potted plants that she had gotten from somewhere.

"Ah~ I'm finally home. I'm going back to my room to take a nap. Call me when it's time for dinner." Huihui had a clear goal and went straight to her bedroom.

Jiang Zao didn't have time to care about her. He was now anxious to figure out how to sense magic power and then learn magic.

"Kailu, how do you magicians sense magic power and learn magic?"

"You want to learn magic?" Kailu put down the watering can in her hand, closed her eyes and sensed Jiang Zao's body, then opened her eyes with a strange expression: "The magic power in the air can't enter your body at all. It's very strange. Generally speaking, all races on the continent have a little magic power in their bodies."

"Well, I'm from another world, so it may be different from you."

Kailu had known this during the surveillance, but she was not stupid enough to expose it. She continued to water the potted plants with the watering can: "Because I am an orc, I naturally have more magic power in my body than humans, so it is easy for me to sense the existence of magic. I am not very familiar with the training methods of human magicians."

Well, this person is also from a race with a higher starting point than humans.

"Kokoro is an elf, and Pekolim is a warrior. Is my dream of magic going to be shattered like this?" Jiang Zao sat down on the steps of the gate with a sad face.

"Although Kokoro is an elf, elves have a lot of ancient books. Maybe she has read related books."

"Oh yeah, Kailu, where is Kokoro?"

"I went to the Adventurer's Guild with Pekolim to check out the commissions."

"Is that so? Then let's wait until they come back and ask them." Jiang Zao stood up and patted the dust off his pants. Before entering the house, he asked Kailu, who was watering the flowers leisurely, "Kailu, are you happy in the Food Palace?"

"It's just so-so, and it's only been a day or two. Why ask such questions?"

"Just asking. I'm going to sleep for a while. I'm really tired after running around outside with Huihui for so long."

Jiang Zao's footsteps gradually faded away. The pair of furry cat ears on Kailu's head trembled gently. She put down the watering can with a heavy heart. The beautiful flowers that were nourished by the water could not use their beauty to dispel the solemnity in her heart.

Could it be that Jiang Zao is doubting my purpose of joining the Food Hall?

This shouldn’t be the case. I shouldn’t have revealed my true colors in front of them.

Compared to Kael who suddenly became frightened, Jiang Zao slept happily until Kokoro gently called him to get up for dinner.

After eating the delicious dinner prepared by Pekolim, Jiang Zao couldn't wait to ask Kokoro about the training methods of human magicians, and he actually got an answer from her.

In short, if humans want to become magicians, the first step is to sense the magic power in the air through meditation, and then introduce it into their bodies to continuously refine and increase their own magic capacity. To release magic, the magic power in the body and the ubiquitous elements are output according to the established spells, and then the elements condense into magic for you through magic power.

There is absolutely no magic power in Jiang Zao's body, and the magic power in the air also refuses to enter his body. No matter how you look at it, he is a magic insulator, but he found another way and thought of an idea that could be tried.

To put it more bluntly, releasing magic means that you pay wages (magic) to your employees (elements) and let them follow the process to make the finished product (magic) you want. Although it lacks the high-end and mysterious appearance, it is basically like this.

It took me ten minutes to fully understand the magic of this world.jpg

Jiang Zao glanced at the [Language Proficiency] at Level 10 in his skill list, sat cross-legged on the grass outside the house and slowly closed his eyes. With the blessing of his talent [Within Reach], he quickly sensed the ubiquitous magic and elements in the air through meditation, and then tried to understand their conversation, which he didn't know whether it existed or not.

"Bang!" There was a sound of heavy object falling outside the house. Kokoro, remembering that Jiang Zao was outside, hurried out to check the situation. Then she was frightened by the scene in front of her.

Blood spurted out of Jiang Zao's nostrils like a fountain, and he fell unconscious on the grass.

"Master! What's wrong with you, Master!"

Hearing Kokoro's anxious cries, the other three people also ran out of the hut, and hurriedly helped Kokoro carry Jiang Zao back into the house to stop his bleeding and heal his wounds.

Kokoro sat beside Jiang Zao's bed, holding the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and lowered her head in self-blame: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told the master about those magic training matters."

Hui Hui comforted her: "How could it be your fault? You were just answering Jiang Zao's questions truthfully."

After a rough examination, Pekolim and Kael found that Jiang Zao did not have any wounds except for a nosebleed, but his mental strength was very weak. Judging from the magician's situation, it was probably because his magic got out of control and backfired.

"Really? He has no magic power, but he still insists on using magic. Isn't this guy asking for trouble?"

"Kailu, is the master okay?"

Seeing Kokoro's worried look, Kailu softened her tone: "Don't worry, it's no big deal, it's just a normal magic backlash, just let him get some sleep."

"okay, thank you."

"It's just a small matter. When this guy gets up, remember to tell him not to try it again."

"I see."

Kael's judgment was actually quite wrong. Jiang Zao did not fall into a coma due to the backlash of magic. He fell into a coma because his mind was shocked by the huge amount of information when he was trying to understand the dialogue between magic and elements.

After all, magic and elements are the basis of the construction of this world. To understand and communicate with them, the brain is equivalent to receiving the memory of the entire planet in an instant. Fortunately, as a stand user, Jiang Zao's mental power far exceeds that of ordinary people, and with the dual blessing of talent and skills, his brain barely avoided exploding.

When Jiang Zao woke up from a coma, the first thing he saw was Kokoro sleeping beside his bed. She was still thinking about Jiang Zao in her sleep, murmuring the three words "I'm sorry".

Jiang Zao activated the time stop function and put Kokoro on the bed, brushing the hair away from the corners of her mouth: "Sorry... for making you worry."

Chapter 236 Nature is Magic

In order to express his apology to his companions, Jiang Zao worked hard to cook breakfast. The tempting aroma pulled them out of the bedroom. Seeing that Jiang Zao had woken up, they couldn't help but complain and warn him.

Jiang Zao humbly accepted their criticism and promised that he would never make everyone worry so much again, and then invited them to taste the breakfast he had carefully prepared.

The result was that Pekolim wanted to go out and get the legendary ingredients and give them to Jiang Zao to cook. The other three had the same idea. His cooking skills completely conquered their stomachs.

"By the way, let me show you something good." Jiang Zao snapped his fingers, and a pinch of fire gathered above his index finger and thumb that were pinched together.

"This is... the fire-starting technique? How did you do it without any magic power?" Kailu couldn't believe what she saw. Jiang Zao, a magic insulator, actually succeeded in releasing magic.

This situation is no less absurd than if young Bruce Wayne shot his parents twice more as they lay bleeding in an alley, and actually brought them back to life.

"Exclusive secret." Jiang Zao dispersed the flame on his hand and smiled mysteriously.

Two new skills appeared in his skill bar: [Element Control Lv1] and [Magic Control Lv1].

"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Anyway, I'm a magician, and it's no big deal to know how to start a fire spell." Kailu turned her head away, not wanting to look at Jiang Zao's smug smile: "Pekorim, did you and Kokoro see any good commissions yesterday?"

"Of course there are. Here are commissions to subjugate giant frogs and to clear out the sharp-toothed blue wolves..." Pekolim took out dozens of commissions and spread them on the table, introducing the contents of the commissions to everyone in a torrent of words.

"Wait a minute!" Kailu interrupted Pekolim, pointing at all the commissions that had been accepted, her eyes full of shock: "These...you accepted all of them?"

"Yes, because they are all well paid."

"Are you an idiot!!!!" Kailu pinched Pekolim's cheeks and pulled them apart. "If the commission is not completed within the deadline, you will have to pay a penalty. These are short-term commissions. Do you want us to lose all our funds and live on nothing?"

"Yeah... I'm sorry, I felt like we could finish it, so I just took it all."

"What is feeling? If feeling is so powerful, why don't you become a treasure hunter?"

Jiang Zao rescued Pekolim from Kailu: "Okay, Kailu, instead of getting angry, why don't you think of a way to complete these commissions within the specified time."

"Hmph, remember not to accept commissions so easily next time." Kaede glared at the giggling Pekorim, then sat down angrily.

"There are thirteen commissions here in total. Fortunately, apart from the subjugation mission, there is only one commission for finding an item. Let's complete the subjugation mission separately first, and then work together to do the most time-consuming commission for finding an item. What do you think of this distribution?"

Jiang Zao's proposal was very reasonable and efficient, so it was naturally passed unanimously. In terms of team allocation, since Jiang Zao currently holds three professions: warrior, assassin, and magician, Huihui, the one-strike magician, will be on the same team with him, and the other three will form a team.

After dividing the tasks, the group separated at the gate of the royal city. Among the commissions in Jiang Zao's hands, the shortest one was the task of defeating the giant frog, which was limited to one day. Pekolim accepted the commission yesterday afternoon, so it had to be completed before this afternoon.

"Hui Hui, how about I carry you on my back and hurry on, otherwise we might not make it in time."

"Ah, okay."

Huihui lay on Jiang Zao's back and only heard him say "Hold on tight". Then the objects on both sides of her field of vision quickly retreated behind her. The strong wind almost blew her hat away. She vaguely felt that the wind element around Jiang Zao was unusually strong.

Jiang Zao, who can control magic power and elements, can indeed control elements normally, but his way of casting is completely different from that of a magician. He does not need to recite spells to pay magic power to the elements. He can skip the step of chanting spells and directly achieve the final magic effect with his mind.

Or like this morning and now, just gather the necessary elements together.

This also has a disadvantage, which is that he cannot learn the current magic of the Astraea continent, because this method of casting spells that directly manipulates elements and magic power belongs to the category of ancient magic. Trying to release today's magic is like putting a cannonball into a pistol, which is completely incompatible.

If Jiang Zao wants to cast real magic, he has no choice but to learn ancient magic. However, most of the ancient magic has been lost, or has been collected by various races and not disclosed to the outside world.

There is still a long way to go on the road of magic.

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Zao saw the giant frog in his field of vision. He stopped and put Hui Hui down, "Hui Hui, don't do anything to the giant frog. Pekorim told me that frog legs are delicious after being fried. You can't just fry them into ashes."

“Then I'll watch here.” Huihui did not complain about not being able to release explosion magic. She had many other commissions and did not need this one. What's more, giant frog legs were a delicacy. Wouldn't it be even more delicious if Jiang Zao could cook them?

Jiang Zao nodded, and rushed towards the giant frog jumping on the grassland, following the green breeze under his feet.

These monsters are as their name suggests, each of them is a five-meter-tall giant frog. They attack with the foul-smelling mucus in their mouths and a flexible tongue that can extend twenty meters. They always appear by ponds that appear on the grassland at some point in time. If you are lucky, you can even see ten-meter-tall lotus flowers growing in the pond.

You can harvest adult-sized lotus seeds by simply cutting off the lotus flowers. They are soft, sweet, juicy and have the fragrance of lotus. This kind of lotus only grows in giant frog ponds, so it is called the Giant Frog Lotus.

The moment Jiang Zao entered the giant frog's 20-meter attack range, the giant frog's yellow pupils turned, and it opened its bloody mouth. Its long pink tongue spit out towards Jiang Zao like lightning. As long as Jiang Zao was licked by the flat round tongue tip covered with suction cups, he would be swallowed by the giant frog into its mouth that secreted fishy mucus.

Facing the attacking tongue, he did not panic at all. The rich fire element condensed into a long sword in his hand. He kicked his legs sideways to avoid the tongue, then twisted his waist, raised the fire elemental sword and chopped it heavily at the giant frog's tongue.

To Jiang Zao's surprise, the fire element sword only left a black mark on the pink tongue and did not even cut it.

If the fire element doesn't work, then switch to the thunder element.

Thunder roared, and the lightning elemental sword danced in Jiang Zao's hand. In order to complete the subjugation commission as soon as possible, Jiang Zao simultaneously activated the time stop: "The World!"

The lightning drew a brilliant sword light that was twenty meters long in the static space. Jiang Zao released the elemental sword that had penetrated into the giant frog's brain, and condensed two wind and ice swords and threw them at the other two giant frogs not far away with all his strength.

Chapter 237 Hell's Connections

The weapon condensed from pure elements is more useful than Jiang Zao imagined. At least it can easily pierce the giant frog's skin covered with slippery body fluids. It is not like ordinary weapons where most of the force is removed by the body fluids. It can only leave a scratch on the tough skin that is not painful to the giant frog.

"Time begins to flow."

The long swords of wind and ice elements slid smoothly into the heads of the other two giant frogs. Because they lost Jiang Zao's control, the elemental weapons exploded immediately, revealing the characteristics of the elements themselves.

There was a muffled sound in the head of the giant frog killed by the wind element's sword, and a big hole was opened. Countless wind elements were moving in the circular hole, grinding the flesh and blood into powder. The head of the other giant frog was frozen in the ice and smashed to the ground with its body.

Tiny cracks appeared on the skin of the giant frog's head that was killed by the lightning elemental sword. Wisps of white smoke were slowly floating out of the cracks, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat.

"Wow, so awesome!" Huihui stood in the distance and saw Jiang Zao kill three giant frogs in the blink of an eye. He used magic similar to the [Sword of Light] that condensed elements into weapons. The battle scene made her itchy and she wished she could cast an explosive magic to help Jiang Zao.

Fortunately, Huihui still remembered his instructions and used her appetite to suppress the urge to cast magic.

Generally speaking, there will only be three giant frogs appearing around the Giant Frog Pond at one time. The giant frogs jump out of the pond in the morning and wander around like an old man. They will return to the pond at dusk. As long as the adventurers do not approach within 20 meters of it, it will not actively attack.

It is considered a relatively harmless monster, but if a giant frog pond is allowed to exist for too long, the area of ​​the pond and the number of giant frogs will increase. When the number of giant frogs in the giant frog pond reaches more than six, the Adventurer's Guild will issue a commission and ask adventurers to go and subdue the giant frogs.

After the crusade was completed, the Adventurer's Guild sent people to fill in the pond where no giant frogs appeared, completely destroying the monster's nest. However, there would be a special weather called Giant Frog Rain every year, in which case the giant frogs would no longer appear from the pond.

They fall from the clouds like beans scattered on the most extensive grassland in the suburbs of Landsol, so on the day of the Giant Frog Rain, all the adventure guilds in the royal city have to go to the grassland in the suburbs to clear out the giant frogs. For adventurers who like to eat fried giant frog legs, it is an annual carnival.

Jiang Zao killed three giant frogs, and there were four left. While dodging the frog tongues, he tried again to cut off these annoying long tongues. Unfortunately, the tongues of the giant frogs, on which they depended for survival, were very resilient, and elemental weapons alone could not do this.

If it was Pekorim's void weapon, it would probably be able to cut it off.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zao activated the time stop again and used the wind elemental weapon to cleanly and neatly deal with the remaining four giant frogs.

The lack of long-range and magical attack methods is his biggest shortcoming at the moment. If he hadn't acquired new skills yesterday, he would have had to rely on brute force to beat the giant frog to death with one punch after another. This is very difficult to do because the giant frog's skin is covered with special body fluids, and it would be considered good if the physical attack could be half as effective.

"Jiang Zao, is this your new magic? What's it called?" Huihui looked at the translucent green sword in Jiang Zao's hand with shining eyes, which was used to cut the giant frog's limbs.

Unlike the [Sword of Light], this is a weapon condensed from the wind element. However, I have never heard of the magic of the [Sword of Wind]. The [Arrow of Wind] is a magic unique to the Elf Ranger. Could it be that Jiang Zao created it himself?

Even though Huihui will not learn magic other than explosion magic, it does not mean that she does not understand other magic. After all, she is a member of the race of great magicians, and her professionalism in this area is unquestionable.

Jiang Zao cut off all the limbs of the seven giant frogs and put them into the storage space. The best meat on the giant frogs was their strong and sturdy thighs. The meat in other parts of the body even contained slight toxins, which was a very strange phenomenon.

After throwing the giant frog corpses into the pond, Jiang Zao's wind elemental sword slowly dissipated under his control. Only then did he answer Hui Hui's question: "This is not magic. You should be able to see that it is a weapon formed by a large number of elements gathered together, right?"

"Yeah, it looks similar to the principle of the Sword of Light."

"I just used force to gather the elements together, it's that simple." Jiang Zao raised his right hand, slightly bent his five fingers towards his palm, and a blurry red ball of light appeared on his palm: "Just like what you see now."

"Directly control the elements and magic..."

Huihui frowned, she always felt that she had seen this method somewhere. After some thought, she finally remembered that she had heard it in the classroom of the Scarlet Demon Village. At that time, the teacher was introducing the casting method of ancient magicians. Because the difference between this method and the casting method of modern magicians was too great, the students thought it was a setting in the teacher's own novel.

Her companion transformed overnight and became an ancient magician that only existed in the classroom. Huihui was amazed: "You actually followed the school of ancient magicians. The world is really wonderful."

"It sounds amazing, but I can't cast any magic except controlling the elements like this."

"I do have a copy of ancient magic, but I keep it at home."
