Chapter 50 Albania

Once you have a clue, the research process is much faster. But even so, the work of restoring ancient magic texts is still an extreme test of Maca's understanding of magic theory.

Although there are already 22 pseudo-Phoenician characters to refer to, it still takes a lot of time to try a little bit of deduction.

It took nearly two weeks for Maca to finally put down the quill in her hand and breathe a sigh of relief.

During this time, food and water occasionally appear on the floor out of thin air. It seems that no matter what period of the elves is, it has always been one of their habits not to appear in front of people as much as possible.

Except, of course, the initial haphazard drama, for the little ones who have lived on the island since the beginning, the creatures of "humans" are simply ancient legends that only appear in bedtime stories......

"These characters do have traces of rules. It seems that it is not a merchant who summed up the Phoenician characters, but an ancient wizard! ”

Maca took the notebook in her hand to her eyes, looking at the 22 characters that faintly exuded vague information, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Although the information conveyed by these runes is clearer and easier to understand than the rule runes on the Scroll of Truth, the rules contained in them are far less complete than the real rule runes, but they can be used for reference research."

He looked up, only to see that the symbols around him were fading away in large swaths, dissipating into the air one by one. But those 22 Phoenician characters haven't disappeared – they've changed!

Under the reflection of the Phoenician scripts on Maca's notebook, the surrounding 22 Phoenician characters gradually transformed into real scripts, and constantly changed the order of arrangement, faintly exuding a fluctuation of rules.

"What's going on?" Maca looked down at her hands, and she couldn't help but feel a throbbing in her heart.

Ever since Christmas Day, after touching the center of Luna's back, Maca has discovered that she can cast a silvery haze of light from the Patronus Charm without using a wand.

And from that moment on, Maca could occasionally feel the breath of her own magic, but it was not obvious at the time.

This continued until the time he began to study the Book of Truth.

It was only when those rule runes conveyed an unknown rule aura to Maca, that he had a very vague understanding of the concept of "magic".

But now, Maca found that he really felt the magic in him!

No, not just yourself, but in the air around you...... You can even feel the magic on Willy! It's just that it's much more ambiguous comparatively.

"This ...... It's really magic! Maca couldn't help but close her eyes and concentrate all her attention.

"It's wonderful! It's a different world! ”

After savoring the novelty, Maca quickly fell into deep thought. After many long studies, this kind of thinking has almost become instinctive in him.

"The magic can be felt, apparently because of the arrangement and reorganization of the Phoenician scripts...... What does this mean? He thought about it, and immediately had a new idea, "No, until then......"

He opened his eyes, reached forward, and swiped lightly through the air. Immediately, a faint ribbon of magic was left behind where the fingertips passed.

It's just that this trace of magic is extremely unstable, like a paint poured into the river water, it spreads quickly, and soon merges with the magic in the air, and is no longer controlled by Maca's senses.

Seeing this, Maca couldn't help frowning.

When he thought about it for a while, he pulled out the wand in his sleeve and swiped it slightly in front of him again.

This was the first time Maca had the most intuitive feeling for the wizard's wand.

I saw that the magic power flowed through the arm and poured into the body of the staff, quietly condensing at the tip of the staff, and leaving a more condensed trace of magic power in the air with Maca's will!

"Float into the air!" Maca waved her wand and cast a levitation charm on the suitcase on the ground.

The box slowly rose under Maca's control, but Maca's attention was mostly focused on the tip of the staff. This time, he saw the clear trail of magic left by the tip of the wand he had just swung it before.

Those trajectories changed slightly with the incantation, and under the impetus of Makana's will to "lift the suitcase into the air", several broken rule runes composed of mana streams quickly flashed.

"Matter drives appearance, spirit deduces rules......" Maca couldn't help but read this sentence again, "I can't imagine that the answer that is blindly guessed in order to answer the question is actually hidden in every spell!" ”

"In that case, why don't you just try-"

Maca said, waving her wand again, but this time it was so slow that it was as delicate as drawing a picture in the air with a stream of mana.

He's going to use magic to write rule runes directly!

But even if there is a magic wand to help condense the flow of mana, as long as the rule runes are not completed as soon as possible, it will eventually dissipate after a long time, and Maca's attempt was not successful.

The level of precision required to draw regular runes, and the concentration of the willpower of the drawer, were simply too high. It takes quite a long time to write it correctly even on paper, and drawing it in the air with a wand is obviously more difficult.

"Still won't work."

After many attempts, Maca had to stop. Because he found that the Phoenician Magic group was about to dissipate.

After hastily jotting down that combination in a notebook, the magic text quickly vanished. The room was restored to its original state, as if quietly waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.

"I only have the opportunity to continue research......"

Maca closed her eyes and sensed the magic in her body again, although it was clearer than before, it still couldn't be as clear and definite as before.

"Are you leaving?" Willy stood up and said softly.

"Huh? Oh, yes! Maca came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Let's go, go straight to Albania." It's about the same distance as when we came to the island, and we can get there and rest. ”

After hearing this, Willie immediately picked up her luggage, and without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the door.

"......" Maca was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Well, it's good to be very obedient......"

When Maca and the others returned, they didn't meet those strange elves again. Maybe they've gone into hiding somewhere, or maybe they have something else to do.

Maca didn't want to look for it.

For the elves who look "free" here. He felt that it was most appropriate not to disturb their lives. The outside world is not suitable for them, so let them continue to live safely and happily on this island.

When he flew away from the island with Willy, he inadvertently turned around, but vaguely saw a group of small figures pushing and frolicking each other on the beach. After being slightly surprised, I felt a little relieved for no reason.

……

After all, they are two countries across the sea, and the scenery of Albania is similar to that of Italy. It is only because of various historical reasons that Albania is much less developed than Italy.

It's an empty and slightly barren country, with patches of farmland scattered all around, not as gorgeous and colorful as Italy, but it also has its own unique natural charm.

Maca found a homestay and rested for the night, and the next morning she set off with Willy and flew inland.

Albania's terrain is mostly mountainous and hilly, with ravines as seen from above, and from time to time there are small and medium-sized lakes embedded in the intertwined valleys.

And this time, the destination is hidden under one of the small lakes.

Although the topography has changed somewhat, it is an undeveloped area deep in the mountains, and Maca soon found the small lake called "Riquini".

"Miss Blois, I'll go down and see if there's any danger, and you wait a little while on the shore."

Maca recited a bubble head spell to herself, and put a water and fire invulnerability spell on her body, and then walked towards the water.

"When you get more proficient in the Traceless Stretching Charm, you can consider making a smaller bag, at least filling up all the potions bottles on your body......" he muttered as he lunged forward and dived into the water.

Probably because of the large amount of water flowing throughout the year, the water quality of Lake Riquini is very clear, and the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen underwater. Maca spun around a little below, and soon found a deep cavern hidden behind the rocks underwater.

He subconsciously glanced back, and then decided to go in and have a look.

The cave is not large, but it is large enough to accommodate three people in parallel.

After continuing to dive for a while, there was suddenly no water in front of me. Caught off guard, Maca planted her head on the rock, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, and finally protected her face first, so as not to break the phase directly.

When he looked up while rubbing his arms, he realized that he had come to an underground world separated by magic.

He was standing on a flat rock, and a few steps further he could see the stairs that continued down. It was dark below, and I could barely see anything, except that I could faintly hear the murmuring of water coming from below.

"Fluorescent flickerβ€”" Maca flicked her wand, but waved it again, "Maximize!" ”

The light on the tip of the wand suddenly burst into flames, and with the swing of Maca it broke away from the wand, and flew forward in a parabola for some distance before falling far towards the bottom.

Through the light, Maca could see roughly what was going on. When he saw a gate embedded in the stone wall from afar, he was sure that he was not in the wrong place.

Maca thought for a moment, and then said to herself: "It's better to bring Willie down first, it may not be safe to leave her alone on the shore......"
