At the beginning, it was the Daiji Tree King who was in charge, and she had many records of how to make tea. But as Yakumo gradually learned, Celie finally chose the tea made by Yakumo.
"Although the tea you brew is flawless, it tastes like it was made by magic and its effect is only to quench thirst. Although Yakumo's tea is not as perfect as yours, it makes people want to drink it."
"Well, I don't know exactly where the difference is, though."
This is what Celia said about the tea brewed by Daijishuwang and Yakumo. So recently when studying at Celia, Yakumo would be responsible for brewing tea and then taking some cakes from other worlds.
Of course, Celia was actually very happy that someone could discuss academic issues with her here. For thousands of years, Celia had never met a magician who could keep up with her thinking, but now it seemed that there was finally one.
The Great Compassion Tree King is also really amazing. She used elemental power before, but after a month, she can already use magic power. And she is trying to combine elemental power and magic power to see if she can convert all the elemental power into magic power.
Relatively speaking, magic power is much more versatile than elemental power. After all, magic can be used in all attributes, while elemental power is basically a single attribute. If it can be completely transformed, then the magic power of the Great Compassion Tree King will not be less.
The progress in this area is not ideal, so the Great Compassion Tree King still needs to accumulate magic power.
"Can Flillian enjoy this during afternoon tea all the way?" Celia suddenly asked after eating a piece of cake.
"Afternoon tea? Not really. After all, we are on a journey to defeat the Demon King. It is impossible for us to have afternoon tea every day, right? Only when we are in the rest stage like now, we can have afternoon tea."
"But even when we're traveling, I'm responsible for everyone's meals." Yakumo didn't intend to hide it and said it very bluntly.
"No wonder Fulilian is so wary of me." Celia picked up another piece of cake. This time she didn't eat it directly, but looked at the condition of the cake.
"It's really strange. I've eaten a lot of cakes. I have seen countless delicious cakes in all the years I have lived. But the craftsmanship and ingredients of this cake are like something I have never seen before."
Celia had not read it carefully before, but now that she had looked at it carefully, she found that there were many things that did not make sense.
"There's no point in thinking so much, just eat." Yakumo wasn't going to explain anything like the other world to her, so she just laughed it off.
"Hmph, it seems you've avoided this question." But magically, Celie didn't continue to ask about this issue.
Although Fulilian always said a lot of bad things about Celia, in essence, Celia actually has her own gentle way.
"Come back later and try your special defensive magic to see how resistant it is to matter?" Celie changed the subject.
"Which substances? Let me make it clear first, air pressure defense magic is not perfect yet and it can't defend against all substances." Yakumo did not refuse.
"Then let's start with the ice needles and pebbles. These are not very heavy, the former has enough piercing power, and the latter has considerable blunt force. I think they are the most suitable for testing."
"can."
Then, Yakumo suffered the whole afternoon. In the second test, Celia was not as gentle as in the first test. The ice needles were like free of charge, falling on Yakumo like rain.
Not only that, Celie released ice needles and stone shots at the same time. Yakumo's compressed nitrogen defense magic was broken several times, so he had to keep the magic shield open.
As mentioned before, simple defensive magic can be easily broken when facing high-quality substances. Yakumo's nitrogen armor was not perfect, which resulted in the afternoon's response not being as calm as the morning's.
After working hard for an entire afternoon, the progress is still not very ideal.
"As expected, although you can imagine some of it, you still have no idea what it is.
Imagine it completely. This kind of magic development is very painful, can you really stick to it?"
Celia was also very curious about the defensive magic that Yakumo was researching. But she couldn't help Yakumo with this magic, and of course, she didn't want Yakumo to give up.
Chapter 103: Gradual Improvement
"bang"
"This is really hard..." Aize retracted his axe. His blow only left some shallow marks on Yakumo's defensive magic, and these shallow marks were slowly recovering.
"But Aize didn't use his full strength, right? If he did, this defensive magic should have been easily shattered, right?" Yakumo dispersed the defensive magic. Aize's attack just now was already quite powerful.
This is not the full strength of Azer, and Azer still has the Sky Flash that he has not used. It can be seen that Azer is not only tough, but also has strong output. But Yakumo is actually quite satisfied, because the nitrogen defense magic is still not complete.
If it was a perfect form, this kind of casual attack would not even leave a trace. Although it was enough to deal with most situations, Yakumo would continue to study it.
"But it only took me two months to learn this magic, right? I still can't figure out what nitrogen compression is... But I have learned defensive magic."
The single piece of defensive magic in Fulilian's hand is completely different from Yakumo's. Fulilian's defensive magic is pure in color and has a very textured feel. However, Yakumo's defensive magic looks like it is covered with a layer of fog and looks hazy.
"Not only the defense against physical attacks, but also the defense against magical attacks has been improved. I really don't know what's wrong with your brain..." Fulilian sighed: "I guess Celie has been unable to sleep for several nights..."
That's right, recently Celia needs the Great Mercy Tree King to coax her to sleep. By the way, how come you are so skilled at it, Great Mercy Tree King? Where did you practice?
"After all, pure defensive magic can easily break down when facing large mass objects. This is why we still cannot abandon the use of objects around us for defense, and why fast movement is necessary for magicians."
"But this requirement is too high for ordinary people." Haita didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was a monk, using the magic of the goddess, and it was difficult for him to put conventional magic into practice.
Of course, there are also defensive barriers in the goddess magic, but the mobility is much worse than that of defensive magic.
"It's not that exaggerated. In actual combat, you don't have the time to think about what to use for defense. You just use whatever comes to your hand. In the mock battles with Celia, I never won once."
"Isn't it normal that she didn't win?" Frillian spread her hands. "After all, that's Celia. Even the Demon King may not be able to defeat her. Is Yakumo very determined to defeat Celia?"
"For players, uh, for people like us, there is no boss that cannot be conquered. If there is, it's because we are not at a high enough level or have insufficient equipment. We can wait until everything is ready and continue to try."
"The same idea applies to a strong enemy. I can't win at the moment because I'm not strong enough. As long as I continue to grow, I'll be able to win one day."
"That's why it's so easy for human magicians to surpass imagination... Really, sometimes I don't know if I should be jealous of you. Perhaps soon, I will add another record of failed battles."
Fulilian said this without any dissatisfaction on her face. It seemed that being defeated by a human magician was a very happy thing: "Because the world that Volame hoped for is coming true."
"Then, Furlian, do you still want to learn this nitrogen defense magic?" Yakumo put away the single piece of defense magic in his hand.
“Forget it… I need to start from the very beginning and learn the composition of air, and then understand the concepts of each gas. It’s still too difficult for me…” Frillian made a classic cat face.
"As long as the defensive magic works, it's enough. As for the rest, with the two warriors Xinmeier and Aize on guard, there's no need to worry at all. Compared to this, it's more important to deal with the flying magic as soon as possible."
Yes, up to now, Yakumo's flying magic has not been analyzed at all. The problem is still that there is no mana consumption. It is more of a state than magic.
"I originally thought about using anti-gravity magic first, but since I already have floating magic, there's no point in doing that. The most difficult part of flying magic is controlling the direction and speed of flight while floating in the air."
"So...after all, we still need to learn from the demons. Then let's squeeze Aura a little more. Although flying magic is instinctive for demons, Aura shouldn't be so stupid that he can't even explain the basic principles of magic, right?"
……
Facts have proven that Aura is indeed stupid to this extent. It's like everyone knows that 1+1 equals 2, but proving why 1+1 equals is a completely different concept.
Huh? If you think about it this way, then Aura isn't that stupid after all?
There was no other way, so this problem could only be handed over to Yakumo and Celia, and of course, the Great Compassion Tree King. If it was just research, the Great Compassion Tree King was quite good at it.
Analyzing the flying magic of the demons and then reversing it so that humans can use it is the task of the last month. At the same time, it would be even better if we could make some improvements to the flying magic.
Surprisingly, Celie wasn't very interested in the research of flying magic, and most of the time it was Yakumo and Daiji Tree King who were discussing it, and then experimenting with Aura.
Although Aura is a demon, he also uses magic. As long as it is magic, it can be learned and used.
The writing and experimentation of magic was not smooth sailing. Aura had fallen from mid-air several times and was bruised and battered. But it must be said that with Aura's participation, the research progress of magic was much faster.
If Aura falls a few more times, he might be able to develop flying magic.
"Hmm... So obedience magic has this effect? It seems like he's quite good at taking advantage of loopholes." Celie was not interested in studying flying magic, but was quite interested in Aura's performance in the past few days.
It's really not a moral thing to just let others experiment with magic.
What? Aura is a demon? That's fine.
"So, if I keep Aura here, I can also let her conduct magic experiments?" Celie became interested in the exchange that Yakumo mentioned before.
“Well… if you can’t control it well and end up killing Aura, that wouldn’t be a good thing.” Yakumo spread his hands.
"It's not that she'd die, but sometimes I might need her to do something on a whim. So, I'll give you an extra gift. I looked through the library and found something suitable about the forging magic you mentioned before."
Chapter 104 The Other Team
Let's go back a little bit in time, to when Yakumo started studying defensive magic. Without Yakumo in the team, everyone had to stay for a while longer, so Xin Meier decided to continue going out to do commissions.
Before they stayed at Celia's place, Yakumo had left them enough funds for activities, which was enough for whatever they did. Of course, Haita couldn't keep the money all the time, as it would be bad if he used it for drinking.
"Haha, even I can tell the difference between the important and the unimportant." Haita touched the back of his head and laughed as he defended himself. Unfortunately, no one believed him. It was hard to believe that a monk was also an alcoholic.
"So, what kind of commissions should we take?" Flillian was rarely immersed in the magic book, but was discussing this issue seriously: "The types of commissions in the Yulu region are quite complicated."
"You can first accept some daily help commissions, such as transporting goods, and then learn more about other more important exploration or subjugation commissions." Xin Meir was holding a piece of paper full of words in his hand.
"I've investigated everything in the past few days. Perhaps it's because the spring season has started to get busy, and many places need help. Whether it's a tavern or a distant farm, they're all looking for help."
"We can do these commissions while getting some information." Xin Meier has already selected some commissions for everyone: "Look, these commissions from the farms below are very suitable."
"They are all transport commissions." Aize stroked his beard: "These types of commissions are very simple. Are you really going to choose only these?"
"Yes, although it is simple, it is the most urgent need of these people." Xin Meier pointed at two of them: "Especially these two families, there are not many people at home, but they need to take care of a large farm."
"I went to find out. It is said that the two children of this family have both set foot on the battlefield against the demons. That is why the house is so deserted." Xin Meier added: "So, I want to help them."
"That's settled then." Haita had no objection.
The distance was a little far, so we set off after a little preparation. The destination was a farm, and the person who issued the commission was also the owner of the farm.
Because they were under the jurisdiction of the city lord, they had to pay a certain amount of harvest as taxes every year. In previous years, there were still many people helping out at home. But this year, the two adult men in the family went to the battlefield, leaving only the elderly, the weak, the women and the children at home.
"Well, I can still think of ways to plant and plough the fields, but moving these things will take my life." The old woman smiled bitterly: "If you hadn't come to help, I don't know how long it would take to do these things."
"Don't say that. We were paid, too." Xin Meier held a wooden box in both hands and followed the old woman. "Besides, the lunch at the old woman's house is delicious. I hope I can continue to eat it in the future."
"Hehe, if you come again next time, I will cook for you." Grandma was also holding a small box in her hand: "Speaking of which, when I went to the forest to pick some mushrooms a few days ago, I seemed to see a strange building."
"Strange building?" The old woman's words attracted everyone's attention, even Aize, who was carrying two wooden boxes on his head. Strange building was like a keyword.
"Yes, it doesn't look like a building from our time. It looks quite old." The old woman replied while recalling, "It looks a bit like a temple, but it's very cold when you get close to it."
"Alas, my old bones couldn't stand the cold, so I finally came back. I don't know if the building is still there." The old woman looked at the faces of several people and said: "If you are interested, it's in that direction."
Without saying anything more, the old woman pointed out the approximate direction to the four people: "However, I want to remind you that the place looks very strange. It is best not to go there if you can."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. If there really is something, we should go. After all, a hero is supposed to solve things like this, isn't he?" Xin Meir was already interested.
Everyone helped the old woman to finish all the things, and then returned to where they were stationed to start the discussion.
"I think it should be a maze, right?" Haita looked at the location marked on the map. "However, there is no historical record of any kingdom in this area, so it's a bit hard to be sure."
"Of course we can go. What if there are some magic books or treasures? It would be great to be able to increase our travel expenses." When she heard about the maze, Fulilian became excited.
Most mazes contain ancient relics such as magic books, which is exactly what Fulilian is looking for.
"...I have no objection. Just remember to leave a note for Yakumo to let him know where we are going." Aize also did not object. Anyway, no matter if he objected or not, they would end up going together.
"Of course we can't keep father Yakumo worried, right?" Xin Meir joked.
"Okay, then let's leave a note for Yakumo's father and let's go!" Haita also came to join in the fun.
"Oh! In order to avoid being scolded by Yakumo's father when we come back, we must do all the work in advance!" Furlian followed closely.
"..." Aize felt that he was often out of tune with his teammates because he was not stupid enough.
Because it would take quite some time to explore the maze, we prepared a few days' worth of dry food, drinking water, and some tools that would be used in the maze before setting off.
Following the direction, they didn't go too far before they found the building the old woman had mentioned. It was indeed as the old woman had said, with a spooky and strange feeling, and the architectural style was a bit strange.
"This... doesn't look like the style of an ancient country in history?" Xin Meir tilted his head.
"It's more like the style of the demon clan. Was it built by some noble imitating the architecture of the demon clan? Furthermore, it's very strange that such a maze would be left behind, right?" Haita tried to explore.
"No feedback, at least nothing was found on the periphery." Haita shook his head: "Flillian, where is your investigation?"
"It's the same. There's nothing wrong on the periphery for now. We have to go in and see for ourselves. But the demons usually don't build mazes or anything like that, so we don't have to worry about it being a demon problem."
Fulilian also used her magic to explore and confirmed that there was indeed nothing outside: "Anyway, let's go in first. We can't see anything outside anyway. Only after a careful exploration can we have a deeper understanding."
Chapter 19: Coming back in a mess (31/)
The maze was very quiet, and after walking for a long time, no traps were found. This made everyone think that this was just a tourist attraction. It was not until they went down one level that they saw a big door.
The door couldn't be pushed open directly. It was so heavy that even Aize couldn't move it. There was a lever next to the door. Fulilian tried to pull it. The whole maze began to sound like a mechanism, and then the door opened with a bang.
"It's really simple and direct..." Fulilian complained: "So, shall we go in directly? Eh? I think I saw a treasure chest in the middle of the house!"
Before Xin Meir and others could answer, Fulilian trotted over and opened the treasure chest.
"Ah! It's so dark! So scary! So horrible! It's too dark!" The next moment, Fulilian's screams rang out in the hall. Xin Meier and Haita, who had just rushed forward two steps, covered their faces. This must be a treasure chest monster trap, right? !
After rescuing Fulilian and destroying the treasure chest monster, Xin Meier felt around in the ashes of the treasure chest monster and finally found the monster crystal: "Is this what Yakumo needs? This is the first time I've collected it myself. It feels amazing."
"Indeed, it is completely invisible, but we can touch it. If it weren't for what Yakumo said before, we might have ignored it." Haita poked the thing in Xinmei's hand, and it felt hard.
"The protective gear we use are all made of this stuff..." Azer's shoulder pads, Haita and Flillian's electromagnetic shields are all forged with these monster crystals.
"This way, it's not like we didn't get nothing this time." Xin Meier put the monster crystal into the bag. Because it can't be seen, it has to be packed in a sturdy bag to avoid losing it later.
"But, it's so strange, there is only one treasure chest monster in such a big room? This is totally unreasonable." Haita looked around the room. The space of the room was ten or even nine points large, and there were no sculptures or decorations.
