Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"She shouldn't have come here. She was eaten by a wild beast. Next location."

To be honest, when the monkey approached, Li Ang was really mentally prepared, but she was not.

With Diana leading the way, everyone's destination was clear and precise. The entire island was like an extension of her body, and basically any question they asked would be answered.

Even Otto was thankful that he started searching only after helping the flower goddess, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort.

However, after changing several locations, they did not find Meluna, nor did they find any signs of people living in these places.

They even met the islanders of Mengze Island, who curiously asked Li Ang what the four of them were doing. He thought they were a family traveling and told them that this was not a scenic spot.

Li Ang asked a passerby if anyone had ever lived in this place, but he only got a puzzled look.

In the eyes of others, who would live in a place like this? If they were to live, wouldn't they build a tree house or something, just sleep in the wilderness?

"The person we were looking for was a bit strange. It's okay now. Thank you."

Li Ang smiled as he saw the passerby off, then sighed deeply.

"It's hard for you," said Otto.

"It's not too difficult, but every time I think of her, I feel very tired."

"So Grandpa Otto and Brother Leon are here to look for someone?" Meimei asked from the side.

"Yes." The two nodded to the girl.

"That person is very picky to choose such a nice place to live in," the little girl praised.

Li Ang looked at the environment in front of him. The environment he chose was just a place where Meluna might be. It was not good at all to be on Mengze Island with lush water and grass and rich resources.

"Where is it?"

"Look, when you wake up from your nap in the tree, you can jump into the water and play. When you get tired, there are fruits nearby. Sometimes, I don't want to help mom and dad with their work, so I just want to hide in a good place. If it's a place like this, I can hide there for a long time."

"Don't try to do this," Li Ang said quickly.

"Um, okay."

When everyone got on the straw sled and rushed to the next location, Meimei passed Farina and Otto and sat next to Leon.

"Brother, I have a question."

"You said."

The girl twisted her fine white hair between her fingers, blinked her ocean-blue eyes, and said, "If I want to become stronger, it seems that I can learn magic instead of swordsmanship."

Leon felt that Otto, who was sitting at the other end, was breathing heavier.

"Swordsmanship, or the path of a warrior or fighter, is indeed different from that of a spellcaster."

The stereotype that warriors are not very glamorous is a common one in almost any fantasy work. And there are reasons for this impression, mainly due to the barrier to entry.

Even in a world where both martial arts and magic can reach the pinnacle, spellcasters are more "noble" than fighters, because spells always require more basic conditions to learn.

Therefore, many people have to choose the path of a fighter and then choose their weapons.

In Leon's opinion, Otto chose to use a sword either because he liked it or because he was a member of the Niujiao tribe and was physically strong, which gave him an advantage in this regard.

There are still some magical inheritances in Huanwo Village, and there are spellcasters in the village to maintain the village's barrier, so it is no problem for Meimei to go the magic route.

But the problem is-

"Why did you learn swordsmanship from Grandpa Otto?"

"I'm just bored. Grandpa Otto is the only one who goes outside the village, and he's the only one with weapons instead of tools. Anyway, it feels different."

Well, it turns out it’s because of my childishness.

Meimei appeared several times before and was always talking in a mysterious way. Perhaps she relied on her mysterious talent to receive things that ordinary people could not see through magic and inspiration, but she was still a child at heart.

Children do change their minds, but this makes Otto very uncomfortable.

"Do you want to learn magic from me?" Leon asked.

Meimei nodded immediately: "Swordsmanship is too tiring."

250. Magical Diver

Of course swordplay is tiring, as is the training of any physical profession that involves being a fighter or warrior.

Although fighters who have trained to the extreme have the position of "physical spearhead" in team combat, they can pass through the battle formation, penetrate the temporary shield of the caster, and break the scale armor protection of powerful monsters.

Some powerful enemies will also have special defenses to counter spells, which require physical attacks to deal with.

But then again, despite these performances, comprehensive consideration reveals that the same situation exists on the spell side.

In most cases, all combat problems can be solved by using spells.

The so-called spell countermeasures are because spells are effective, so enemies deliberately set up or develop counter-spell mechanisms. But what about "physical countermeasures"? It can be said that the first line of defense for all defenses is physical.

So we talked a lot about the advantages of physical spearheads, but it can still be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

A fact that is hard to accept is that a spellcaster who has received a good education and has sufficient material reserves does not even need a position or team cooperation, and in most cases is more effective than a melee profession.

Sometimes, the image of an "incompetent spellcaster" is embodied by those who are not well-trained and practice without any inheritance.

As for Meimei, whether it was her talent, the inheritance of Huanwo Village, or the fact that she was favored by the Six Water Dragons, it could be said that learning anything was easy for her.

If we really have to argue about which one she should learn, the only thing we can claim for swordsmanship is that it can sharpen her mind and prevent her from becoming arrogant and conceited because she doesn't know how to endure hardship. But this is just a hypothesis.

Otto has the strength he has now. He is a member of the Knights' Council and has participated in various battles in his two hundred years of life. Of course, he understands this.

"That's fine." Otto said, "I never intended to start looking for a disciple. After all, my swordsmanship still has many imperfections. Meimei will progress faster if she practices magic."

Is it really okay? Leon and Farina exchanged a glance. Both adults could hear the old man's slight disappointment, but the little girl naturally didn't feel it.

"You see, after I started practicing, my father showed me some spells. I tried to learn them, and it felt as easy as just talking to them normally."

Meimei raised her two small hands, and a stream of water condensed from the thick water vapor of Mengze Island, flowing under her control of magic power, circling around her palms like a dragon or snake.

Leon and Farina looked serious, and both understood what was going on.

For Meimei, casting spells is as natural as breathing or drinking water. As she puts it, she just needs to "talk to them."

The last time I had this feeling was when I faced Zoe after she resonated with the Earth Serpent.

As mentioned before, she has a unique talent for perceiving spirits. This method of casting spells is different from that of regular spellcasters who first draw on the magic power and then try again. She only needs to let the water spirits act according to her wishes, and they will draw on the magic power to produce changes.

Farina sighed and said, "This is indeed the method of the Dragon Worship Cult."

"What do you mean?" Li Ang asked her.

"Dragon worshippers cast spells in the same way, but they receive pre-formed spells from a dragon spirit. That dragon spirit is the object of their worship, and they pay a price in advance."

Farina propped her head on her hand as she watched the girl playing with the dragon-like water. "This branch of sea dragon worshippers, because the dragon ancestor died long ago, can only worship a non-existent object. But because that power still lingers around, existing in the mist, rain, and marshes of this island, their calls will be answered. This is probably why they settled here."

"As a result, this place is next to the Dragon Ancestor they have been thinking about." Li Ang said.

"Yes, so they are still praying to Leviathan for power, but the Dragon Ancestor's way of existence has changed."

Farina glanced at Yueyintu and said, "This special situation has made them gradually become adept at communicating with the true water element. Over time, this power has flowed and been passed down in their blood, and finally reached its peak in Meimei.

"She's a top-tier water spellcaster, and also a promising candidate for a dragon summoner."

Li Ang asked, "Are you planning to induce her to practice Dragon Summoner?"

"What do you mean by 'induction'? Her clan should have been heading in this direction," Farina said. "And I'm sure that by practicing both professions, she'll progress much faster than an average person specializing in just one."

"It hurts my heart."

After Meimei finished her presentation, she raised her chin towards Li Ang, signaling him to tell her how she performed.

It's clear that she's aware of her own talent; her youthfulness only means she doesn't understand how much of an impact this talent can have on the world if properly utilized.

"Excellent," Leon praised. "Now all we need to do is choose a spellcasting class."

Meimei's eyes were filled with curiosity: "What are they?"

Farina said, "Common spellcasters include mages, priests, wizards, elementalists, shamans, and so on. Since you are good at controlling water elements, these professions have corresponding branches, such as frost mages, omen priests, forest sages, water elf elementals, restoration shamans, and so on."

Among the priests, Leon saw the Tide Sage on the system, but he seemed to no longer be able to see him in Newbiss, giving him a feeling that the inheritance had been broken.

Meimei had no interest in sage shamans at first glance. She thought for a moment and asked, "What are frost mages and elementalists like?"

"The Frost Mage binds water elementals with magic, transforming them into ice to freeze and shatter enemies."

"enemy……"

Meimei pursed her lips, looking like she didn't want to face any enemies.

Leon understood. Although she'd been motivated by the previous crisis, her childish mindset wasn't ready for a bloody battle with the enemy. Her personality was quite different from Zoe's. The wild cat was naturally aggressive like a wild beast, never afraid of danger.

"An elementalist must first form a contract with an elemental spirit. This is a difficult task for ordinary people, but it's no problem for us."

"What do elves look like? Are they like Sister Diana?"

Leon and Farina both smiled. Elemental elves are similar to creatures in the magical dimension. They are a collection of high-purity elemental spirits. They need the magical nourishment of the contractor to grow, and in return, they assist the contractor in controlling the elements. Those with deep bonds will even join the battle personally.

Their images are not based on human aesthetics, so they are often strange and scary. There are very few magical girl mascots like those in stories.

Zoe's profession was established by replacing elemental spirits with star souls.

After explaining the situation, Meimei looked conflicted again.

"I want to make a contract with a cute elf like Rabbit." Meimei said while hugging Yueyin Rabbit.

The pink-haired rabbit was suddenly very happy because Leon was looking at it and could see its expression.

Aqua returned her gaze, but her eyes were emotionless.

"Well, I don't know much. After all, I specialize in one thing. Anyway, you can learn the ability to summon a dragon," said Farina.

"What's your profession, big brother?"

"Don't learn from me." Li Ang said quickly.

He has suffered enough as a sorcerer. Even if he wants to teach others to practice this profession, he should wait until he has completed the inheritance.

There were many professions in the system that he had never heard of, and which might have lost their inheritance, but the status of the sorcerer was the only one that was very strange.

They arrived at a new place and everyone was searching on the road. Rabbit ran away from Meimei and came to Li Ang while she was chasing Rabbit.

"You must be thinking, in that case, I can make a contract with her and kill two birds with one stone." The Water Dragon said directly.

With the gods' understanding of the world, they certainly know the key to professional practice. If Meimei can make a contract with the Water Dragon as an "elemental spirit", then she will naturally be able to obtain the powerful support of water power. At the same time, not to mention the practice of the Dragon Summoner, she can completely follow Farina's example and get a direct improvement as long as she meets the needs of the Dragon God.

"However, I cannot choose her as my agent right now. She doesn't have enough strength. If something were to require an agent, she wouldn't be able to handle it."

"There can only be one agent?"

"Correct."

"Does this involve some world rules or something?"

"You can answer quickly, here you go

"Which island's magic academy gives out red flowers as a scoring reward?"

"A school in a trading capital."

"Since there can only be one, you still pissed him off, or rather, pissed off so many people." Li Ang spread his hands helplessly.

The rabbit suddenly jumped up with gritted teeth. "Of course it was that Fire Dragon Agent with the abnormal chest that was talking nonsense. I call that a test, a test, understand? So far, no agent has caught my eye."

"She's beautiful and lovely, super powerful, and she's also going to make you happy. Where can I find her?"

Li Ang had already said it very tactfully. He originally wanted to say, "I have to endure your willfulness and be good to you."

"Yes, there must be. It's as big as the entire airspace."

"Then I wish you good luck... No, the agent is related to the balance of the world. This is a big deal."

Li Ang frowned and looked at Yueyintu: "Are you taking your responsibility as the Pillar of the World seriously?"

The rabbit hesitated and tilted its head to the side.

"Answer directly."

"Anyway, you should take care of Meimei's professional training. Don't let a water darling like her lower her status."

"So, can I please give you that spell as a favor?"

"Half, I'll lower the requirements later."

After saying this, Yueyintu jumped off to find Meimei.

The little girl exclaimed, "Why are you running around?" and picked her up.
