Reincarnation Band Magician

"I believe there will be more than I can handle in the future. I don't know much about games, so I have plenty of time to think about it. Anyway, I'll compose the music for Qing when the time comes."

"It's not just Xiang," Qing and Xiangzi said with a happy expression, "It's all of us."

This was the first time they discussed modern affairs.

"By the way, Qing, are you interested in the band?"

Golden Journey: 143, Protection Mechanism

Since we don’t know what position we will play at the moment, the band proposal is put on hold for the time being.

In short, there is a place for Qing in Ms. Toyokawa's proposal of "a band for a lifetime."

After gathering information about the city, their next goal was to buy groceries.

……

At noon, I borrowed the hotel's kitchen and processed the ingredients used in the experiment.

Both plants and animals can be crystallized.

Nothing was wasted afterwards, as Fulilian acted as the main force, preserving the remains of various small animals in a warm place.

After the meal, throw the crystal dishes into the trash can, inject the magic to remove it, and you will feel clean and refreshed.

Clapping his hands, Qing looked at Fulilian, "How is it?"

The elf nodded in satisfaction, clutching his stomach. "It tastes good. It's powerful and clear."

"I'm asking about your gains this afternoon."

"What was I doing this afternoon?"

"Have some tea first," Qing handed over the black tea with milk. "I heard that people feel less alert after a meal, and it seems to be true."

"I feel like you're hinting at something," Fulilian said, taking a sip of tea. "Oh, now I remember. I was looking for information about elves this afternoon, but I was so bored I went to read a magic book, so I forgot about it."

"That means there's something to gain."

"Well, sort of. The book says that most elves have emotional deficiencies, struggle to experience intense emotions, and have no interest in reproduction. That's why their population is so small. Coupled with the demons hunting them, they're probably on the verge of extinction."

Fulilian blew away the steam, staring blankly. "The last time I saw an elf was over three hundred years ago."

Qing wanted to say something.

The emerald eyes regained their luster.

"Continue, elves have very strong memories and almost no human forgetfulness mechanism. Except for things that they don't take to heart, most experiences can be recalled quickly.

"The book concludes that this kind of indifference is essential for a long lifespan. Without this mentality, for elves with rich emotions like humans, it would be a disease, and they would likely die after just one or two hundred years."

Fulilian rubbed her head in thought and said to herself, "It seems to be true."

Things that happened a long time ago are still as clear as if they happened yesterday.

In the end, even some small things will be slowly recalled when you care about them.

Celie had memorized almost all of humanity's magic, and that abnormality was also considered a characteristic of elves.

Xiangzi pondered, "If we understand this as a necessary protection, we can understand why things have changed recently."

Fulilian nodded and looked at Qing, "Maybe you are indeed evolving into an elf. This mentality is also part of evolution. Your ability has evolved a protective mechanism first, which is very reliable."

"That being said, I don't feel anything special right now."

"Normal," Fulilian nodded. "Your current thinking is undoubtedly still that of a human. I've heard that some elves who live with humans have richer emotions, but after experiencing more, they all end up with the same indifference.

"If you still have this mindset after a few hundred years, you'll understand what's changed."

"That was quite a long time."

I got the answer to my question in one day, unexpectedly quickly, and having the answer made me feel less uneasy.

They are indeed changing into elves, but because of their human past, their current mental state and way of thinking are still the same as those of humans.

It might take hundreds of years for him to become like Fulilian, and he would have to wait until the vast future to wash away his short past.

……

After drinking tea, get up and walk a few steps to help digest the food.

Xiangzi walked back and forth against the wall. It seemed that he had been too comfortable recently and was almost forgetting the etiquette taught by Aite. He needed to strengthen his muscle memory.

Qing hung on the beam and began his daily exercise.

"Aren't you going to hold on to the ground today? I still quite like sitting on your back."

The elf felt a little regretful.

After dinner during the trip, Qing sometimes asked her, sometimes asked Xiangzi, to sit on his back and use the magic of the rock to exercise with weights.

It feels like a touch that a child would enjoy.

"I want to relax today and do some simple activities."

After all, it's a wooden beam, it will break if it's too heavy.

He made pulling motions with one hand while flipping through the book on cutting board cleaning magic with the other.

After reading for an entire afternoon, Fulilian wanted to move around a bit. After thinking about it, she tied the bed sheet to Qing's feet, tied a knot, sat on it, and swung like a swing.

"?"

Qing thought of those people who hanged themselves with stones tied to their feet.

"Huhu, that's quite interesting."

She had seen swings in some villages along the way and thought it would be nice to sit on them and read while swinging, so she tried it.

It was a little tight and uncomfortable, so she stretched out the sheet again and lay down in it.

"That's good."

hammock.

Qing resisted the urge to jump down and hit her, wondering if he had been affected by some strange magic recently, causing his humanity to flow into Fulilian.

"Ah, I almost forgot," Fulilian turned a page and continued the previous topic, "What about Qing? How were your ideas this morning?"

Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There is no problem with animal corpses, and new applications have been developed - he can directly crystallize vegetables.

The temperature will slowly drop, but the taste and quality will not change, and the taste will hardly change when reheated. This kind of pre-prepared dish is still acceptable.

As for things like ice cream and ice cubes, once they heat up and come into contact with magic, they will quickly turn back into liquid form.

However, hot water cannot be crystallized, nor can extended flames, lightning, things that explode or are about to explode... these things that Qing has the impression of being "moving" cannot be crystallized. In his opinion, they are more difficult than living things.

Whether it is cognition or imagination, it is probably impossible to achieve it in a short period of time.

Nevertheless, it is feature-rich enough.

Then expand your thinking and the transportation of supplies of other foods, medicines, etc. will also be much easier.

But it will be much heavier, which needs to be considered.

Unfortunately, the imagination required by crystal magic is incompatible with modern times, and there are probably not many people who can learn it.

At present, only the old magician can solidify flowers - by the way, his hometown is east of the royal capital. It's not on the way here, but if you have enough time on your way back, you can visit him.

"It can affect animal corpses. As for humans... there's no chance to verify it at the moment."

They didn't encounter any corpses along the way. Whether in the village or in the wild, the corpses would be dealt with quickly. The difference was whether they were "dealt with" by humans or monsters.

Unless it's "fresh", it's hard to see.

"That's it, I understand."

Flillian shook the sheets.

"Go to the church tomorrow. Generally, corpses are sent there for the monks to bless them. See if there's any chance."

"You'll be beaten, Fleury."

"Give it a try, Qing, you're always good at getting along with people."

"Well... I'll try to go and see it."

Exercise, read, practice etiquette.

If the room were better soundproofed, Xiangzi would try practicing the clarinet.

Unfortunately not.

She wrote down her inspiration on paper and hummed a tune to ask Qing for his opinion.

"Good to hear."

"What are your suggestions for improvement?"

"I don't understand music theory."

"Really..."

We will sleep together again tonight, but tonight we just need to maintain basic alertness.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of breathing echoing softly.

……

The next morning.

As expected, Qing woke up in discomfort, moved the elf lying on him away, and put her aside.

Ms. Toyokawa stayed in bed today too.

Maybe it was yesterday's recovery training that reminded her of the hard work she had done in the past, and she woke up according to her biological clock during that period. After she regained consciousness and realized this, she chose to fall back asleep in revenge.

It's like a worker who wakes up on a weekday schedule during the holidays. After waking up, he puts the quilt back on with a sense of comfortable helplessness.

This feels good too. It’s wonderful to take a nap.

Get up, tuck Fulilian back in, and cover herself with the quilt again.

With exquisite body control, Qing left the house without making any sound.

After a while, he came back and put down food for two people that could be breakfast, but would probably be considered lunch.

Crystallization was used, and a note was attached next to it, asking them to heat it up before removing it.

This magic is really useful.

When closing the door, Qing saw the elf's emerald green eyes under the quilt and nodded to her.

The elf didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes again.

Golden Journey: 144, Church

Church of the Goddess of Creation.

It is generally just called the church. Even other strange and unorthodox folk groups dare not use these two words, even if they call themselves "Holy Church" or "Divine Church".

The church in the Earldom of Gulanat is located not far from the Earl's residence. It has no special decorations and is very simple.

According to doctrine, the church needs to have a main hall for mass, but most of the time it is used to popularize knowledge about various herbs and monsters.

A soundproofed confessional for listening to the troubles of the faithful.

Finally, there are healing rooms depending on the situation, as well as corridors and exhibition halls that publicize the goddess' deeds, which are only found in the main city. Ordinary churches only have these three items.

Generally, the area of ​​the healing room is greater than the main hall and greater than the confessional room.

80% of a monk's work is to heal people, and then to remove curses - effects caused by magic that humans cannot understand, such as petrification, sleep, continuous blood loss, etc. The monk's divine magic can remove some curses.

Some churches provide support for children, and the monks spend the rest of their time teaching children to read and learn.

It was Qing’s first time to come to church, so it was a bit new.

In the other world, he had never seen any religious buildings. He had only gone to a nearby shrine with his mother to pray during the Chinese New Year.

It's not solemn here, but very friendly and simple.
