Magical Girl's Knight Brother

【Just telling the truth】

While robbing, Qin Nan switched screens to reply to Tang Zijun's messages.

"Actually, Tang Cao is pretty good among the newbies. She started off pretty well and quickly became familiar with controlling her magic. I'm planning on teaching her some basic magic techniques."

[Magic spell?]

It was the first time that Tang Zijun heard this term.

[It's just basic magic spells and runes and stuff like that. I can't memorize them, but Tang Cao is smart, so he should remember them better than me.]

【sorry to bother you】

【Red Envelope 100】

Qin Nan immediately sat up straight.

[Thank you, boss, you are so generous (kneeling down to thank you emoji)]

I don’t have to worry about the internet fee these days. Qin Nan raised the corner of his mouth and continued typing his reply.

[In fact, Tangcao still needs to improve through combat. She can't always be treated as a flower in a greenhouse, otherwise it would be a huge waste of her talent.]

Seeing this, Tang Zijun nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, Tang Zijun had thought about this problem a long time ago.

Whether it is a magical girl or a Kamen Rider, in a sense, these are just ways of using power. Whether they are ultimately powerful or not depends on the user's own willpower.

She can protect Karakura for a while, but she cannot stay by Karakura's side all the time. Since she has become a magical girl, she must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the earth.

Chapter 83 No evidence

Early in the morning, Tang Zijun sat at the dining table with dark circles under his eyes for the first time. Opposite him, Su Siyao and Tang Cao looked at Tang Zijun with some curiosity.

Neither of them had ever seen Tang Zijun like this before.

In the eyes of the two little girls, Tang Zijun has always given people the impression of being sunny, gentle and enthusiastic.

But now, Tang Zijun looks like a social animal who works overtime until dawn, giving people a feeling of mental depression and decadence.

"Brother Tang, are you okay?" Su Siyao held the bowl and hesitated for a long time before finally unable to help but ask.

"It's okay, why are you asking?"

Tang Zijun raised his head, yawned and asked back.

"You look very tired. Did you not sleep last night?" Su Siyao's tone was filled with concern.

Listening to her words, Tang Zijun simply waved his hand. "I'm fine. I just had a little insomnia last night, but I managed to finish all the manuscripts I've been working on for the past few days."

Tang Zijun naturally couldn't tell the two people in front of him about his dream experience, but he didn't lie much. After chatting with Qin Nan yesterday, he was indeed busy working on the manuscript.

However, Tang Zijun obviously overestimated himself. He only stayed up all night, but he didn't expect that he would be so tired after the sun came out, and he even had a hard time opening his eyes.

It used to be easy to stay up all night.

Am I really old?

Su Siyao didn't know how to comfort Tang Zijun. She had never suffered from insomnia before and used to fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

"Thank you for your hard work"

"It's okay. It's for work. Besides, there are many people who work harder than me. I'm just starting out." Tang Zijun smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Tang Cao, who was standing next to him, picked up a piece of bacon for Tang Zijun. "Brother, there's no need to be so tired. Our family is not short of money."

"How can we not be short of money? Do you really think our family is rich? It's okay that you are still in school, but I have been an adult for so long, do I still need to ask my parents for money?" Tang Zijun rolled his eyes at her.

"Don't worry, brother." Tang Cao patted his chest. "When I start working, I will definitely treat you well and buy you a big luxury car!"

"And a luxury car. I'd be grateful if you could take care of yourself."

Tang Zijun chuckled and shook his head, not taking it too seriously.

To be honest, Tang Zijun is not really short of money.

This is not because the novels he wrote are so popular, but because in the reversed world, Tang Zijun can get a lot of valuable things to sell.

Of course, Tang Zijun would not touch some cultural relics. After all, everything in the reversed world is a mirror version. Many things are difficult to sell and may easily cause trouble.

So this degree must be mastered.

By using this method, Tang Zijun had actually achieved "financial freedom" when he was in high school.

And because he himself is not a person who spends money lavishly, he has been relatively well off over the past few years.

Otherwise, Tang Zijun would not have signed Qin Nan so easily. At his age, not many people can afford to pay tens of thousands of yuan in salary a year.

"Oh right." Su Siyao suddenly thought of something and said, "Shall we go to the movies together this weekend?"

"Watch a movie?" Tang Zijun was stunned.

"Yes, yes, Nezha II, I've wanted to see it for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the time before. Now that the monthly exam is over, I can finally relax. My parents said they would book tickets for me." Su Siyao was a little excited.

"It sounds good." Tang Zijun raised his eyebrows. He had indeed read a lot of news recently.

"It's more than good, it's absolutely amazing!" Su Siyao raised her head. "I haven't dared to go online these past few days, for fear of accidentally getting spoilers. I have to watch it to my heart's content this time."

"How about it, Tangtang, Brother Tang, let's go together!"

Hearing this, Tang Cao was immediately interested.

She was really passionate about these things, but just as she was about to agree, she suddenly remembered that she had to learn magical girl magic from Qin Nan this weekend, and she became conflicted for a moment.

After a few days of interaction, the relationship between Tang Cao and Qin Nan became closer. Perhaps because they were both magical girls, the two quickly became good friends.

After learning more about her, Tang Cao also roughly knew some information about Qin Nan, such as that she was not a magical girl from Xuecheng at all, and her activity area was not even in the Northeast.

This time I came to Snow City mainly to deal with some "personal matters" and I won't stay here for too long.

Under such circumstances, Tang Cao could not guarantee how long Qin Nan could teach her. She was worried that Qin Nan would leave for some reason before she had fully learned some magic.

Although we are in the information age and can make phone calls or video calls even if we are thousands of miles apart, for the profession of magical girls, it is completely impossible for them to learn through online teaching.

The magical girl's magic power can affect electronic equipment and even block signals in a small area.

If the teaching were conducted online, the communication between the two would probably be frozen at the transformation step.

Seeing that Tang Cao and Tang Zijun didn't respond for a long time, Su Siyao tilted her head.

"Tangtang?"

"."

Tang Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Sorry, Yaoyao, I, I may not be able to go this weekend."

"Why?" Su Siyao blinked.

"This week. This week."

Think fast, stupid brain.

"This week I made an appointment with my online friend to play tile-making."

Tang Cao took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"My online friend is going abroad soon, so we'll have fewer and fewer opportunities to play games together."

"Okay." After listening to her bestie's words, Su Siyao shrugged helplessly, then turned to look at Tang Zijun. "Brother Tang, how about you, how about we go together?"

"I?"

Tang Zijun opened his mouth.

He already knew the reason why Tang Cao couldn't go. After all, Qin Nan was the one he had come all the way to find.

Since Tang Cao couldn't go, he couldn't go either. According to the agreement, while Qin Nan was teaching Tang Cao, Tang Zijun needed to protect the safety of Chang'an.

Although there is no guarantee that there will be an invasion by foreign demons this weekend, patrols still need to be carried out.

You can't just say hello to the heretic demon and tell him that you're going to the movies this week. In order to lend a hand to Nezha, can you evil forces behave yourself?

If that really made sense, I wouldn't have had to study and fight monsters so hard back then.

So Tang Zijun could only look at Su Siyao apologetically.

"Sorry, I probably won't be able to go. I have an old colleague asking me out this weekend. We made it a long time ago, so I don't want to break it."

"Well"

Su Siyao pouted and looked at the brother and sister in front of her with a strange look.

I always feel like you two are hiding something from me.

Unfortunately I have no evidence.

Chapter 84 Magic

It is late spring and the nights are cool.

In the forest park of Snow City, Qin Nan and Tang Cao stood face to face, each holding a candied haws.

This was bought when Tang Cao came. On the way, she happened to meet a vendor who was about to get off work. She was a little craving for strawberry candied haws, so she bought two and also brought one for Qin Nan.

"Senior, I have already mastered telepathy. Can I learn some more advanced offensive magic next?"

Tang Cao licked the sugar coating on the candied haws bite by bite.

On the other hand, Qin Nan's eating style was much more "aggressive". She bit off a whole strawberry, and the broken sugar coating and juice flowed out from the corners of her mouth and were rolled into her mouth with her tongue.

"Forget about high-level magic. The magic power you possess now is not enough to support you in completing magic of that level. But you are right. It is time to teach you some offensive magic."

Looking at the Tangcao in front of him, Qin Nan continued to explain.

"Using magic is both easy and complicated. To put it simply, there are only three steps: the spell, the connection, and the release."

"As the name suggests, spells are various patterns or carriers that can carry magical power. Generally speaking, most magical girls' spells are composed of 'words'."

"Chinese characters, English, oracle bone script, runes, and other characters can all be classified as spells. If you want, you can even create your own 'writing' to use."

Karakusa blinked. "Any text can be used as a spell? Doesn't that mean magical girls exist abroad, too?"

"Of course there will be," Qin Nan nodded. "This world is huge, and protecting the real world doesn't just depend on us. It's just that I haven't really come into contact with foreign magical girls."

Hearing this, Tang Cao tilted his head slightly.

Come to think of it, the Earth is so big, it is impossible for the heretic demons to just focus on invading China. Not to mention that they will treat everyone equally, at least most cities with higher negative energy should have dimensional gaps.

"It's useless to think about this now. Magical girls are unlikely to leave the city they protect, and the chances of them going abroad are even smaller. So you may not be able to see magical girls from other countries in your lifetime."

"No, senior, I'm just curious whether different words will produce different magical reactions when releasing magic. For example, is there a difference between Old English and English when used?" Tang Cao said.

Qin Nan glanced at Tang Cao in surprise, then smiled. "You actually thought of that. Good! I was just about to remind you."

"The concept of the ritual is based on the way the magical girl uses her magic. The words are just a carrier and there is no difference in themselves. Whether it is the words we use now or the words used in ancient times, there is no difference."

"If we really want to tell you the difference, it probably lies in the complexity of the characters and your proficiency. I personally suggest that you use the characters you are most familiar with to form the spell. This will be more convenient."

Listening quietly to Qin Nan's words, Tang Cao nodded thoughtfully.

"I think I understand a little bit. To put it simply, it depends on proficiency, right?"

"Yes, that brings us to the next two steps."

Qin Nan picked his teeth with a bamboo stick and spoke.

"Magic connection means using the magic-laden spells you've created to arrange and combine them into corresponding sentences, patterns, words, or phrases, and then you can unleash the corresponding magic."

"Once the spells and connections are determined, they are fixed, so we will use the most basic and easiest to understand arrangements to compose the corresponding magic."

"If you come up with a phrase that doesn't make sense, the magic will still work, but it'll be harder to pronounce and cast, so avoid using combinations that are too difficult to pronounce."

"I understand." Tang Cao waved his fist. "After all, it's all about using the simplest method to unleash the most powerful magic, right?"

"Yes."

Qin Nan snapped his fingers, threw the bamboo stick away, and continued.

"Now that you have a basic understanding, let's get started now. Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and I will teach you how to assemble your own magic spell."

Following Qin Nan's instructions, Tang Cao excitedly sat down cross-legged.
