You call this magic?

If you are a reader who just wants to criticize me and doesn't care whether I make changes or not, then I can only say that you have picked a soft persimmon, because I will not delete the post and will only apologize and try to find content that can be used to modify the previous article from the content you criticized, so it would be better if you can give me some suggestions while criticizing me, thank you.

Okay, the above is just my personal opinion at the moment, now it’s time to talk about this book.

To sum it up in one sentence: I might as well have written a system article at the beginning... Never mind, it's too late.

After that, I will quietly write the book. The pace during this period is also quite challenging. In the past, I would feel upset for a whole day if I saw bad reviews for my books. Now, ahaha, I'm used to it. I just couldn't eat lunch for several days. My mentality finally started to get stronger, and now I can almost hold on.

Finally, let me end with a line from The Truman Show:

"Good morning. If I never see you again, I wish you a good morning, good afternoon, and good night."

Thank you all.

PS: I have a hen card tonight, it’s comfortable

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounters (I): Chapter 15: Lily, Come to My Office

Walking out of the guild gate, Ethan raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the air. Although he couldn't see it, he was sure that a pair of timid eyes were staring at him.

He's also a poor guy...fish.

Even the gods in heaven do not fully understand the secrets of this huge underground city. The reason why the three secret realms are called secret realms is that they are still shrouded in fog, and even the gods cannot explore their essence.

Dragon Nest, Sea of ​​Trees, Dungeon, none of them are easy to deal with.

And this little mermaid is one of the mysteries of the dungeon.

Logically speaking, the monsters born in the dungeon should all be monsters in the true sense, just like the demons, whose only meaning of life is to hunt humans, or to be hunted by humans.

After death, human souls will go to heaven, undergo soul bleaching, and then reincarnate. So what about monsters?

No one knows, but Uranus deduced a possibility by inferring the appearance of these intelligent monsters.

That is, monsters also have souls. After being killed, they will return to the dungeon and undergo a new round of reincarnation.

Among them, there may be souls that have not been completely bleached. After years of reincarnation, they may envy humans and yearn for human life, thus giving rise to the possibility of the birth of spiritual intelligence.

After hearing Uranus's words, Ethan felt that it was not impossible.

Because he himself is a typical example of someone who escaped the net and failed to be reincarnated after his soul was bleached.

The difference is that these monsters will not only be attacked by humans, but also by other monsters in the dungeon.

Therefore, they were collectively called "heretics".

They yearn for life on the surface, but can only live in the dungeon. The monsters in the dungeon do not treat them as their own kind, so they can only survive in the cracks.

To Uranus, these heretics are worthy of survival and may even serve as a bridge between the dungeon and adventurers.

Uranus did not ask Ethan to agree with his ideas, but only asked Ethan to keep it secret and protect the mermaid's life, and he would pay a price for it.

Ethan accepted.

After all, he is an outsider, and he cannot immediately empathize with these concepts involving racial views and world views. After all, in Ethan's mind, this is just a cute little mermaid, and he does not associate her with monsters or human racial issues.

Of course he could protect her, because in Ethan's view, as long as they didn't attack others mindlessly and could communicate, they could be people with whom they could share what they had.

However, the child's appearance should also be one of the reasons why he showed mercy.

Although the other mermaids in the dungeon looked okay in terms of appearance, they all attacked with ferocious faces, and they were basically monsters with human faces.

On the way back to the clan, Ethan looked up and asked, "Little guy, what's your name?"

“…” The little mermaid seemed to have no intention of paying attention to him, perhaps because she was afraid.

"No?" Ethan didn't give in and whispered to himself, "Then I'll give you the name Goudan. Remember from now on, 'Goudan' means—"

"...Mary." She said her name very reluctantly.

Otherwise, if this guy really called you a dog, even if you were a heretic you would be ashamed to death!

"I thought you were really dumb." Ethan smiled. "Don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you... Well, I did have some before I brought you out, but now I've decided to let you go."

Ethan could clearly feel that Mary's tail was wagging excitedly.

"However, you definitely won't be able to survive on the surface like this. I'll find time to send you back to the underground city. Until then, you'll just stay in my territory."

The tail froze for a moment, then suddenly dropped down, looking quite lost.

"But I can give you a second option." Lily's appearance appeared in Ethan's mind. "If this goes through, you can even run around the streets of Orario without being attacked by anyone."

At this moment, Ethan suddenly heard the girl above his head breathing rapidly.

"Really? Really?" She seemed unused to speaking and stuttered a little, but being able to speak was already a huge win.

"Of course, you can choose not to accept it, but then you'll have to stay in my bathtub for a few days."

"I, I want to try!"

Mary's stuttering words revealed a very strong desire.

……

He did it as soon as he thought of it. After Ethan returned to the clan, it was already night. Lily and several other girls surrounded him very attentively, but in the end they were all driven away by Lily, leaving only Ethan within three meters.

"You're so welcome, Ethan." At the counter, Hestia supported her face with a malicious smile on her face, but she herself might not realize that this action made her protruding part directly pile up on the counter. The visual effect was so shocking, especially with that loli face, Ethan was almost attracted over.

If Ethan hadn't recalled Fulilian's indifferent face in his mind, he might have lost his composure.

He almost forgot that his body was only fifteen or sixteen years old, his mind was that of twenty or thirty years old, but his body was still full of vigor.

"Goddess, you too, are as charming as ever." Ethan had to reply, then turned and ran, "Uh, Lily, come with me first."

"Okay, Captain!" Lily answered sweetly, then gave Hestia... her chest a subtle glare, and her mood instantly became a little lost.

Alas, due to racial limitations, she would never be able to achieve that scale in her lifetime.

"Hehehehe...I am indeed the most charming." Hestia completely ignored Lily's threatening look and laughed happily.

She might not have noticed it at first, but they had been in contact for a while, and she couldn't ignore where Ethan's eyes were when he looked at her.

How should I put it... My heart was beating a little faster, after all, Ethan is also very handsome.

But Hestia would not admit it, and it was not her child.

As for forming a clan? That's such a hassle. Now there's so much money to be made and the work is so easy, isn't that great?

At this time, on the other side, Lily followed Ethan to his office. As the door behind them closed gently, Lily's heartbeat almost jumped out of her throat.

Could this be the unspoken rule that is said in legends?

She was even looking forward to it.

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (Part 1): Chapter 16: The Magical Uses of Transfer Magic

"Lily." Sitting on the chair, Ethan said very seriously, "Can you demonstrate your transformation magic in front of me?"

Lilyluka Erd, lv1, possesses the transformation magic [Heart Ash Lady], which allows her to transform into any image similar to her own body shape, and can even imitate the racial characteristics of different races.

The effect of this magic is very, very strong. If it is used to disguise yourself as someone else, as long as you have enough information and excellent acting skills, it will be no problem to make the fake look real.

Lily's heartbeat suddenly quickened when she heard this request.

"You, do you like elf ears or animal ears?" she asked in a low voice with a blushing face.

Hehehe, the leader actually likes sex!

?

Damn it, this little girl has the wrong idea!

At this time, the little mermaid who was still floating above Ethan's head had covered her eyes, but her fingers were wide open, and her little face was red as she looked down, as if she was also looking forward to what would happen next.

Ethan could only pretend not to know. After all, he couldn't reveal Mary's existence for the time being.

Seeing that the situation was beginning to go out of control, Ethan could only explain to Lily that this was just a reference for his magic, so that Lily could calm down.

But how could Lily remain calm when such a misunderstanding occurred?

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, Captain. How could a girl like me who is so thin and small and a dwarf like me possibly hold on to such delusions? Wuwuwuwu——"

"Wait wait wait, Lily, you misunderstood!!!"

Ethan spent some time coaxing the child. It can only be said that men are double-standard and look at appearances. Lily is pretty and not unreasonable, so he has enough patience to comfort her.

After promising to go shopping with Lily, Ethan finally saw Lily's transformation ability.

"Your mark belongs to me, and my mark still belongs to me." This was the chant of [Stove Ash Lady]. After she finished reciting it, she turned into a cat-eared loli, her ears moving, which was extremely cute.

She easily transformed from a human into a cat-eared loli, a dog-eared loli, and even an elf-eared loli, and even directly became Finn, the leader of Loki's family.

Uh, turning into a man and making a shy expression is a bit abstract, so let's not do it...

“‘Ring the clock at twelve.’”

The magic was broken.

"Does this magic have a time limit?"

"No, but it might have been forced to be lifted due to a magical shock or unconsciousness," Lily explained.

"I see. Thank you for your explanation." Ethan thanked him solemnly.

"Hehehe, it's my honor to help the captain~" Lily left happily. For her, performing magic to get the right to date the captain was a huge profit!

After Lily left, Ethan closed the door and opened his notebook.

[Stove Ash Lady] has indeed been successfully recorded above.

The next thing to do is...

He removed the levitation magic and invisibility magic in one breath. Mary in the air suddenly lost weight, let out a scream and fell down, and was caught steadily by Ethan.

Fortunately, Lily had already walked far away, otherwise she would probably turn back immediately after hearing the girl's screams.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot." If he hadn't been quick-witted, Mary would have fallen badly because of this mistake. "Uh, you can let me go now."

"..." Only then did Mary cautiously open her eyes and realize that she had subconsciously hugged Ethan's head tightly. She left shyly.

But she has not forgotten Ethan's previous promise at all. She already knows Lily's magic, but what does Ethan plan to do?

The method is simple.

Ethan directly activated the [Transfer Magic], and his target was the [Stovetop Girl] he had just learned.

Soon, a magic book appeared in Ethan's hands.

However, the entries in the notebook did not disappear and still existed in their original locations.

The priority of [Transfer Magic] is not as high as the notes. This is the first time Ethan knows this, but it’s better.

"Come, open it." Ethan said expectantly as he handed the Hearth Ash Lady's magic book to Mary.

Mary looked at Ethan, then at the magic book, recalled his promise, and roughly understood something. She nodded vigorously and opened the magic book.

In an instant, the book turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Mary's body.

A few seconds later, Mary's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise.

"Ethan, Ethan, I, I can do it, I can..." She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"Calm down, I know. So, calm down, take a deep breath, try chanting the spell, and then imagine yourself as a human being." Ethan stroked her head gently. Mary was so excited that she didn't realize that the intimacy between them had gone a little too far.

"Your seal belongs to me, and my seal still belongs to me." When reciting the spell, Mary no longer had the stuttering problem she had before. This should be the special nature of the spell.

Soon, in front of Ethan, Mary's blue skin quickly transformed into human skin color, her fish tail disappeared and turned into snow-white long legs, her pointed ears disappeared and turned into a human appearance, and even the fangs in her mouth turned into smooth human teeth.

She really turned into a human being.

As long as she is not attacked by someone with ulterior motives and removes the magic on her own, she can maintain this image.

Mary looked at her legs and skin, stroked her ears, and happily rushed towards Ethan.

"Ethan, Ethan Ethan Ethan...thank you, thank you..."

With this appearance, she can walk freely in Orario.

"I know you're happy, but... this is ultimately a trick." Ethan sighed as he caught the little girl and stroked her head, "This doesn't help the situation of 'heretic' herself."

"...Yeah." Mary nodded. She knew it very well, but even so, it could fulfill half of her dream.

"If possible, how about... calling out all the heretics you know?" Ethan recalled Uranus's request and said, "At least, this method can change your difficult living environment first."

Moreover, the Soma clan is also short of people now, so they can form a group to come to the clan to support the clan.
