You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

"They were all killed by bullets," said the man.

Some had their heads blown off, some had their necks shot through, and some had holes all over their bodies, blood and flesh all over their bodies, their entire bodies almost torn apart, and the bullets that killed them all came from their own guns.

Flame Crow Girl: "?"

The woman next to her wondered if she had heard it wrongly: "What do you mean?"

"You mean, they killed themselves?"

“It sounds outrageous, but at the moment, this is the only explanation that makes sense,” the man said.

Perhaps Winster and others had an "internal conflict" during the mission.

This internal conflict may not be their original intention. They may be manipulated by someone. Some mental magic can do this.

But this will bring up a new problem - who has this ability?

For wizards, the requirements for casting mental magic are higher than those for casting illusion spells. Even if some of those who drank from the Fountain of Enlightenment awakened their talent in this area, it would be impossible for them to master it immediately.

The magic power and mental strength of a first-level wizard cannot support the consumption of mental magic.

Moreover, this hunter team has more than 20 people. It is not enough to control only one, at least half of them must be controlled. And manipulating multiple targets at the same time is something that even many high-level priests who are good at playing with people's hearts cannot do, let alone a newborn who has just learned to meditate.

The man believed that the wizard who killed Venster and others must be someone else.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." The girl did not deny his guess and continued, "The cost of training ravens is not low, and so many people have died. The Floris family will definitely investigate thoroughly. You should pay more attention to the news in this regard recently. If you find any tails that have not been cleaned up, try to help him deal with it."

"I understand. I'll go back first then." The man nodded, and his illusory figure gradually faded until it disappeared.

During the entire conversation, Sean did not interrupt and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

The man and the girl seemed to have ignored him, which was a good thing, as he didn't want to expose his strength for the time being.

But after the man left, the girl was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at him: "You killed that person, right?"

Sean: "..."

Correct.

Oh no.

"wrong."

"I'm just a small wizard of rank one. How can I defeat so many witch hunters?"

He deliberately brought up the past: "Didn't you also say that I don't have much potential? The little magic I have is obtained from the Fountain of Enlightenment. How can I know any mental magic?"

"I didn't say it had to be mind magic." Although she didn't refute the man just now, it didn't mean she agreed with his opinion. She looked into Sean's eyes and said, "Although I can't guess what method you used to make them kill each other, I can be sure it was you."

This was not a woman's intuition, she just simply didn't believe in such a coincidence.

Because she thought of the time when she met Sean in the virtual space in the morning. Sean did not seem to be panicked at all and said that he was not here for help. She thought at the time that Sean was too embarrassed to ask her for help and was just being stubborn. Now it seems that Sean is not just being stubborn, but he really has the confidence to do so.

He knew that the Black Fruit Rain Forest was a trap, so he chose to take advantage of it.

Therefore, even if the wizard who caused the annihilation of Venster and others was not Sean, he must have an inseparable relationship with Sean.

But she didn't ask any further.

Everyone has their own secrets. Her relationship with Sean is not so good that they can talk about anything. She just needs to know that an entire team of witch hunters was wiped out and Sean is not dead. That's enough. Nothing else matters.

The woman next to her obviously noticed that the girl was in a much better mood than before.

Sean took the opportunity to change the subject and winked at the girl: "Ms. Flame Crow, this is the third time we've met. This time you should at least tell me your name, right?"

This was something she had promised Sean, so she would not go back on her word. She looked at the man in front of her for a while, snorted softly, and replied, "Elviri."

Elviri Nichos Serafina.

Sean was very conscious and made up for the last time when he failed to respond to the girl's compliment in time.

"What a good name." He praised. "Elviri means beauty, kindness, and purity in the old language, and Seraphina means seraph, symbolizing strength and power. Most people can't handle such a meaningful name, but for Miss Flame Crow, I can only say... perfect."

"No one is more suitable for this name than you."

Sean's words were well-reasoned and sounded quite professional at first, causing the woman next to the girl to giggle.

"As expected of a novelist, you have such a sweet mouth."

He doesn't praise people directly, but instead praises their names, which contains enough words of praise without seeming abrupt or presumptuous.

Obviously, this guy can talk and is handsome. If he is put in the circle of rich women, he will be a socialite.

No one doesn't like to hear nice words, especially this relatively implicit way of expression, which is easier to accept than excessive and rough compliments. Elviri felt very comfortable hearing it, but she would not show it. She was not the kind of superficial girl who would be favored by others because of a few sweet words. She said with a straight face: "Are you trying to get close to me?"

Sean spread his hands honestly and said, "The main reason is that I don't know anyone else here..."

The virtual space is still a completely unfamiliar place to him now. It is like coming to a city he has never set foot in or even heard of before. The ethereal and illusory scenes around him, like a mirage, subtly magnify the confusion in his heart, making him not know what he should do.

He needs a "guide".

Need some friends too.

The woman extended her hand to Sean considerately and introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Sean, I'm glad to see you're still alive. I'm Elise, Elviri's friend."

Sean shook her hand politely: "Hello, Miss Elise."

The woman joked, "After listening to you two chatting for a while, I finally understand why our Miss Flame Crow is so interested in you."

Careful?

What are you thinking about!

Elviri glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

She admitted that she had underestimated Sean before. This handsome man was not a vase, but that didn't mean she would fall for this guy.

Iris looked innocent: "I mean potential."

Elviri: “…”

"Oh."

They do train potential wizards.

When Sean first came to the virtual space, he thought that any wizard could come in, but that was not the case.

The virtual space is an illusory world constructed purely by mental power with the help of the riverbed of original consciousness. It has no direct connection with magic power, so it is not enough to just learn to meditate. Ordinary novice wizards often cannot even find the door to the virtual space. They must reach a higher level of mental strength before they can gradually feel its existence.

But Sean had just become a wizard and he was able to enter the virtual space directly. This was completely different from Elviri's initial evaluation of him - Sean was not without talent, on the contrary, his talent was very high. Even if we put aside the fact that more than twenty witch hunters were wiped out, in terms of mental power alone, he had already surpassed most wizards.

The requirements for entering the virtual space are quite strict, but correspondingly, it also brings great help to wizards.

This place is not just a place for communication for wizards who are being hunted all over the world. Its greater function is to speed up the wizards' training.

You can also meditate in the virtual space, the two do not conflict with each other.

In essence, they are a state of activity based on the spiritual level, similar to dreaming. If meditation in the real world is considered a dream, then meditation in the virtual space is a dream within a dream.

Controlling the second layer of dreams is undoubtedly more difficult than controlling the first layer, but the wizard himself cannot feel this difficulty. He only needs to enter a meditative state as usual to naturally hone his mental strength and control over his body, thereby subtly changing the way cells autophagy and improving the magic conversion rate.

And this is just one of the benefits of the virtual space.

In addition, in the center of this virtual city, there is a seven-story palace called the "Hall of Truth", also known as the Temple. It contains many powerful spells and potion formulas left over from the era of scholars, and can be called a treasure trove of knowledge.

It is said that the top floor also contains clues about the path to God, which is the ultimate secret that even great magicians above the seventh level want to get a glimpse of.

It’s a pity that no one can set foot on the top floor of the temple.

——Not to mention going in, just talking about this topic will make them seem a little conceited.

Because currently they can't even reach the third floor, and can only enter the second floor at most - and only a very small number of powerful wizards can enter. The Dawn Conference is held on the second floor of the Hall of Truth.

"In short, the virtual space is a good place. You can come here more often as long as you can ensure your own safety." Iris said, "Even if you are tired and don't want to meditate, it is good to exchange experiences with other wizards. But you must remember not to easily reveal your location in the real world to others."

Sean's focus was on deep meditation. He smacked his lips and said, "It can also speed up cultivation. Is that so magical?"

He looked at the illusory street outlines and walking figures around him. It was already amazing to be able to open up such a space similar to a small world. He also gave all wizards a speed-up cheat and left behind a palace of knowledge... How powerful must the creator of this virtual space be?

"Rank ten?"

"more than."

Elviri glanced at him and continued, "You know this person."

"Huh?" Sean was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"I know?"

When did we meet? How come I didn’t know about it?

Elviri replied, "The protagonist of your book, the legendary wizard, Carl Black."

Sean: “Huh?”

……

Chapter 16 The Statue Moves

"Don't you know him very well? You don't even know this?"

"..."

I really don't know.

The only thing that is certain is that if the virtual space was really created by himself, it must have been created after he became a saint, because at the time of his secret meeting with the saint, he had no knowledge of the virtual space in his dream.

Sean's mind was spinning, and he asked the girl, "Why did he create the virtual space?"

"Exchange academic knowledge and find ways to break through the limits of the human body." Elviri replied, "This method is called the Path of God. In the era of scholars, it was the lifelong pursuit of all great magicians."

"Did they succeed?"

"do not know."

"Where's Carl Black?"

"do not know."

"What happened to him and the Saint?"

"……do not know."

Sean was dissatisfied and asked, "How come you don't know anything?"

Elviri: “?”

Are you blaming me?

She found that this guy had a lot of questions, like a hundred thousand whys, and an unhappy expression appeared on his pretty face: "Are you trying to get information from me?"

Sean: "..."

That's a good reason.

"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to go to a meeting." Cognitive awakening, like memory recovery, is divided into stages. Elvira actually knew some stories about Carl Black and the Vatican Saint, but for some personal reasons, she didn't want to mention these two people. Time also didn't allow her to chat with Sean anymore, otherwise she would be late.

Sean had no choice but to give up. He couldn't delay the girl's business.

Iris smiled and said, "You can come with us. Although you probably can't enter the temple, you can walk around nearby."

Outside the Temple of Truth is a small square. In order to try to enter the temple at any time, many people like to go there to communicate, so it is very lively every day. It is one of the few paradises for these ill-fated wizards.

Sean nodded obediently on the surface, but he was actually thinking about his own little plan in his heart.

He didn't quite agree with what Iris said.

Generally speaking, there are restrictions on wizards wanting to enter the temple, which is reasonable since they are all “outsiders” after all.

But he is different, he is the "master".

According to the Flame Crow Girl, the virtual space is equivalent to his home, and the Hall of Truth is a door in the home. Outsiders cannot open it, but he, the owner, may be able to open it.

Got to find a chance to try it.

Originally, Sean didn't pay much attention to the so-called treasure of knowledge in the temple. It's not that he was not interested. No one would dislike more powerful spells. It's just that he needed more magic power now. Otherwise, his rank was not high enough. Even if he mastered the operating principles of high-level spells, he would not be able to release them and could only be a master of theory.

Sean never set his sights on achieving anything too high.

But after learning that the virtual space might have been created by himself, his thoughts changed - those were all his treasures.

Although he temporarily got rid of Quill's eyes with the help of the Truth Spell, his situation was far from safe. As long as the witch hunt was not over, he might encounter a greater crisis at any time.

He must make use of all available conditions around him and improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Come to the small square.
