Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Xiuer didn't understand, but he didn't take it to heart.

"[Affirmation] Your language skills are excellent. I can understand everything you say."

"【Additional】Now, can we leave?"

In order to satisfy the child's rare "interest", Xiuer didn't mind waiting a little longer.

"Ah, it's time. Coming here, communicating with spirits I've never met before, I'm finally satisfied."

"Teacher, you don't have to wait for me."

"..."

"[Notification] Fulilian, we will leave here in 148 seconds."

After confirming his apprentice's attitude, Xiuer looked at Fulilian beside him.

Just now, he had been observing Fulilian's changes, and the analysis results showed that the other party did not care about his and others' departure.

The elves in this world are like this, and Xuer knows their personalities.

"Really? We're leaving now."

"Will you come again next time?"

Xuul guessed that according to the elves' concept of time, if he returned here hundreds of years later, it might only be a few months for Fulilian.

“There’s a 99.5% chance that I’ll come back here again.”

"Yeah, that's good."

I heard a hint of retention.

Perhaps it was because of the concept of "new friends" that Frellen wanted to keep him, not wanting interesting things to leave too early. Xuel also understood this idea.

After all, elves are not really indifferent and heartless, they just react slowly to certain emotions.

People like Celia are special cases because they have been in contact with humans for a long time, so they are not like these reclusive elves.

After bidding farewell to Fulilian, Shuul and Takson left the land of elves.

Shuul did not ask Fulilian if she wanted to travel together, because his purpose in coming here was not to recruit teammates.

It was enough to meet Fulilian and leave a backup plan.

Besides, given his current state of mind, he may not accept the invitation.

......

......

On the way back.

"Teacher, what do we do next?"

As usual, whenever his teacher finished something, he would subconsciously ask him about his next plan.

It’s not that he has no opinions of his own, but when he travels with Xiuer, he will subconsciously give the initiative to the other party because Xiuer’s strength is reassuring.

"[Answer] Magic City."

"Magic City? Sounds like it's full of magicians?"

"【affim】"

"Could it be that, teacher, you want to go there to learn new magic?"

Hearing the name "Magic City", Takson immediately guessed the reason why it attracted the teacher. After all, it was in the name: [Magic].

Based on his current understanding of Xuel's character, only [magic] can attract the other party's attention, nothing else.

But this time, Xuer's answer was different from what he expected.

"[Confirmation] I've only recorded 38% of the Magic City's current inventory. This operation is also for the purpose of meeting someone."

"what?"

When did this happen?

Takson was puzzled. When did Xuul go to the Magic City? And it seemed like he stayed there for quite a while.

But let’s not talk about magic for now. What he is more curious about now is why his teacher is meeting people again.

It was this Fulilian before, who is it now?

“This person…?”

"【Answer】Celiai."

"Celiai? Who is this?"

"【Answer】The ruler of the magical city, an elf that has existed since the age of myth."

Another elf?

Could it be that the teacher has become interested in elves recently?

No, it seems that the teacher knows this elf this time?

Well, the teacher is the goddess' angel after all, so it is quite reasonable for him to know the elves of the mythological era.

Seeing that Takson's misunderstanding of him had basically been formed, Xiuer didn't care at all. He has always been like this. He would not take the initiative to explain unless the other party asked. As for the misunderstanding that such behavior might cause, he didn't care.

A golden space channel opened in front of Xiuer. He did not wait for Taksen and entered the door first.

And Takson came to his senses the moment the door opened and followed the former.

......

......

on the other side.

Celie sat cross-legged on her gorgeous chair, quietly sitting in the room.

Normally she would sit here when she had nothing to do. No one knew why she did this, and because of her identity, the apprentices around her didn't dare to ask.

If nothing unexpected happens, today should be spent in peace as usual.

The golden eyes of the blonde elf suddenly glanced towards a corner of the room.

The next second, a golden space passage suddenly appeared there, and then a "girl" with blue-purple hair walked out of it and entered Celie's sight.

"Come back so soon?"

As if greeting an old friend, Celie asked Xiuer.

"How's everything going? Did you see anyone you wanted to see?"

“[Affirmative] goal achieved.”

"Wow—did you see any new magic along the way?"

This is the key point. Celie doesn't care what Xuel did or whether his goal was achieved. What she really cares about is whether Xuel collected any new magic on this trip.

The "library" of this magical city contains a large number of magics from ancient times to the present, and these were brought by Celie herself and the scholars who gathered from all corners of the world to follow Celie.

Its inventory is huge and the variety is rich.

Compared to that, only Celie herself can accurately find the magic she wants to see, right?

In other words, Celie doesn't need these books at all, she already possesses the knowledge.

"..."

Xiuer didn't answer, but raised a hand.

The golden crystals on the chest under the clothes began to glow, and the golden light passed through Xuer's eyes and projected onto his hands.

next second.

A thin spellbook was constructed and floated above his palm.

Celie watched the whole process. She was very curious about what kind of magic was recorded in this book.

Because of the previous contract, Xuel did not intend to hide this spell.

Besides, there would be no serious consequences if the book was given to Celie, the ancestor of human magic. She had burned the book before only to prevent it from being obtained by evil people.

For example, the magician bandit who possessed the "Demon Control Magic" was a bandit who taught himself to become a magician.

Taking the magic book that flew in front of her, Celie opened the book without saying a word.

During this process, Takson also came here soon after.

As soon as he walked out of the "door", he was shocked by the magic books that filled the room and the walls.

Looking around, almost every wall was filled with bookshelves filled with magic books.

"Is this the Magic City?"

"[Negative] This is where Celie is. It's the most important place in the Magic City."

"Is that the elf sitting over there Celie?"

Tucson noticed, of course, being the only person in the room besides the two of them.

Xiuer nodded.

"Is this your disciple?"

Celia, who was checking the contents of the magic book, naturally noticed the black-haired man who walked out of the Shuul portal.

She remembered that Xiuer once said that he had an apprentice.

"【affim】"

"Well, it seems like he does have some talent, but it's a pity that he chose the path of a warrior."

Celie just glanced at Takson and then turned her attention back to the magic book, ignoring everyone else.

After all, a person who cannot become a magician cannot arouse Celie's interest unless he has some extraordinary qualities.

But this doesn't matter to Tuckson. He chose this path himself and he has no regrets.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have [magic], he can use [the magic of the goddess] and do things that certain magicians can't do.

Anyway, my teacher is Sister Xuul, not that elf Celia.

No matter what the other party says.

"Teacher, what do we do next?"

Seeing that Celie on the stage has already entered the state, I am afraid that she will ignore others until she finishes reading the book.

This is Tuckson's idea.

And Xuel understood that Celie could not finish reading it in a short time, because he was recording all the new magic he collected on the way to the land of elves.

"【Answer】Clear the maze"

"Eh? It's test day again?"

When he heard the word maze, Takson subconsciously thought that this would be the content of his next test.

But he remembered that the day had not come yet.

“[Negation] is not a test, but you can treat it as one.”

"Ok."

Without saying hello to Celiai, after completing the transaction with Celiai, Xuer opened the channel again.

......

----

......

The area nearby had already been explored when he first came here.

He still remembered that when he was watching this anime, there was a monster in the maze that had the ability to [copy] and could create puppet copies of all the people who entered the maze.

Possesses the same combat awareness, strength, and abilities as the original, except for memories.
