Chapter 17: The Naturalist and a Message

“…… We hike through the watery forests south of Egunne. ”

“…… The forests there are full of towering ancient trees, and their huge root systems are directly rooted in the shallow wetlands, and the aerial roots are dense and do not see the light of day......

“…… The dwarf Holuk saw a dense patch of reeds, and he said that there was some high ground on which there might be a place to camp. ”

The book in Kitato's hand, which was suspended an inch or two from the palm of her left hand, spread out, was so large that it might take Miss Naturalist to hold it together in her hands. Only at this moment, she lifted it up without much effort.

The book has a brass title page, with a keyhole in the center, surrounded by five leaf-shaped gemstones, blue lapis lazuli, blood-red red agate, emerald peridot, colorless lactoclase, and a golden opal crystal above the center of the keyhole.

The branches of the plant grew along the gems on the title page, and the title pages of the book were covered with copper flowers and leaves, under which were hidden the gear sets used to open the books, the etheric pipes, and other mechanical components—

A line of writing was written on the golden opal crystal in strange runes, but to this day, no one can recognize the meaning of these words - except for the owner of the book.

She described softly.

The ground in front of him was protruding upwards, and the cracked stone slabs exposed the underlying soil, growing thin green shoots, which in an instant pulled out their branches and leaves, and quickly grew taller.

In just a few seconds, she surpassed the height of Miss Naturalist.

It grows larger and thicker, the epidermis is lignified, and it grows into a towering ancient tree, with leaves growing on the horizontal branches, shining green, and then hanging down dense aerial roots. Below, artemisia grass grew out of the soil, forming unseen reeds, and the roofs of the workshop were cloudy, and in an instant a torrential rain fell.

But the rainwater is always concentrated in a range of about 10 by 10 meters, forming a pond that does not overflow for half a minute, like a spectacle.

In just a few breaths, a dense aquatic jungle grows within the small workshop.

Mister Greystone shook his massive body, slowly chewing on the crystal shards in his mouth - like the rock sharks, the Grey Ridge Negative Hills could feed on crystals that were rare in their aether magic, and only food with such energy could support their massive size - and looked curiously at the sudden appearance of the dense forest.

It doesn't like water, and the forest reminds it of its adventures in the Traveler's Swamp, and it subconsciously moves two steps to the side.

The owner of the workshop, Mr. Louos, was dancing to them in the aisle: "Be careful, don't break my workshop!" ”

Sky Blue waved her hand to the other party: "Don't worry, Mr. Luos, these are just illusions. ”

Lu Ous naturally understood this, otherwise he would not have let these guests mess around in his workshop, of course, it was also because Fang Yuan, Luo Yu and the others were very well-behaved before, and the rent was also paid happily.

Such high-quality guests are not easy to find now.

However, he was still not very reassured about the aquatic jungle, muttered a few words, and shook his head—the Electors brought prosperity in business, but on the one hand, these people were too different from them to be reassuring.

Luo Yu withdrew his gaze from that direction, he held the magic wand in his hand, felt the breath of the surrounding rainforest, and then spoke to the others: "The water elements around are enriching, and the concentration is rising-"

On the side, Attila stroked the trunks of those towering trees with her hands, and the palm of her hand seemed to respond to a rough touch, and everything made people feel that it was not a product of fiction.

Sky Blue, Ms. Papamo, and the box trio came to the side of the aquatic jungle, and Sky Blue quietly pushed behind the Paparal, and Ms. Papamo plunged headlong into the waterhole in front of her with an 'ouch', and her head 'slammed' into the root of the tree.

'She' got up from the grass like a chicken in soup, and glared back to see who was assassinating her. But Azure had already stood behind the box, pretending to be concentrating on examining a tree root.

So the eyes of the Paparals were the first to be on the latter.

"What are you doing!?"

"Not me." The box replied.

"I know, you must have lost last time and took the opportunity to take revenge."

"Last time I won."

The two were arguing and chattering.

But the strange thing is that the moment Ms. Papamo stepped out of the illusion, the clothes on 'her' were dried again, and if it weren't for the bruise on her forehead, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

The Paparal man stopped, looking curiously at his body and left and right hands.

Attila also spoke, "I also felt a strong vitality emanating from these plants, not unlike what we felt when we were in the Traveler's Swamp. ”

Although they knew that the projection ability of naturalists was not an illusion in the ordinary sense, they couldn't help but marvel - this was one of the most amazing alchemical products from the previous era.

True magic books are so rare these days that many people have only heard of its name in their lifetimes, but have never seen it in real form, let alone seen how naturalist spells work.

"It's amazing," said the little girl who had assassinated the Paparals, who had not yet realized it, and walked out of it with only clapping her hands, and asked curiously, "Kita, how long can you keep it?" ”

"About ten minutes." Kita replied earnestly.

Her forehead was shiny, with some fine beads of sweat, and she clenched her teeth, looking even more weak.

At the same time, she also introduced to everyone: "This is the most common 'reproduction' ability of the 'Magic Guide Book', and my level is too low, so I only master this skill." And there aren't many things that can be 'reproduced', let alone made any changes. ”

"That's pretty good, Miss Kita," Baggins was sharing the cut tobacco with the big cat man and putting it into his pipe, as he analyzed the ability from the perspective of a warrior, "If you can use this ability on the battlefield, a range of ten by ten meters can envelop at least several enemies, and this terrain can limit their ability to move well-"

"That's good," Red echoed Baggins' words: "You can use it to protect your own people in critical moments, and Attila may not be an opponent even to me in such an environment." ”

Kita couldn't help but look at the elf lady on the side, it was obvious that she had mastered these key words first-the key ability of a naturalist came from the richness of vocabulary.

They need to have a special vocabulary to use their magic book, and only words and phrases full of magic can mobilize the magic ability of the magic book itself.

"Thank you, Kita." Attila nodded to the little girl.

The magic book in Kitato's hand blushed slightly.

In fact, she has always held back a lot of energy in her heart, wanting to help others, not just be a useless trainee in the team. And now it's not enough, once she's mastered the power to change, she'll be able to make the rainforest unilaterally transparent to herself.

Even bringing the rainforest to life to attack their enemies is just the most basic ability for naturalists, and when she reaches higher levels, she can cast more terrain and even recreate scenes from the past, calling for ancient monsters and mythical legends.

She looked at the unfolded pages in her hand, and on one side was a crystal dome of the current aquatic jungle, reappearing in this crystal dome like a mirage.

In other words, the current jungle is a projection of this illusion, and on the other side of the page, there is a corresponding groove, in which the repeated energy pipes and magic guides form a magic circle far beyond the complexity of the magician's guidance array.

To this day, craftsmen have not been able to figure out how it works.

This is the core of the Magic Book.

It cannot be damaged, and even if lost, it will reappear in the hands of its contractor after a day.

It was once speculated that the Book of Magic was the creation of the gods, but it appeared much later than the Sun Gods, and the Olli Gods never made a single Book of Magic.

Tian Lan said again at this time: "And the environment rich in water attribute magic power is also very suitable for Luo Yu to play, right?" Isn't someone a rain summoner? ”

The Rain Summoner is a branch of the Elemental Envoy, which refers to the Elemental Envoy of the main water system and the secondary qi system, which may not sound lethal, but it is actually an advanced stage of the Elemental Envoy that requires the most calculation and analysis power.

The direction of water and qi is the direction that Fang Yu recommends Luo Yu to advance, because the latter's excellent calculation and analysis skills are just the right way to maximize his potential in this profession.

Luo Yu listened to Tianlan's words and nodded.

He looked up at the rainforest, and although it was only a phantom, he could clearly feel that the water elementals were converging from all directions, and the concentration was even far greater than that of the actual aquatic jungle.

Naturalists' environmental creation seems to be able to enrich the elemental magic corresponding to the environmental attributes.

He raised the magic wand in his right hand, and a golden light trail flashed above the silver tube on the head of the wand, and in the palm of his open left hand, the same light was weaving the inner crystal structure of a crystal.

This is an elemental crystal, an artificial crystal with an attribute structure, but without any aetheric magic.

The biggest difference between the Elemental Channeler's wand and the Wizard's wand is that the latter uses light trails to generate a magic guide array, and then uses the magic guide glove to write different runes to stimulate different spell effects of the guide array.

The number of spells a wizard has at his disposal depends on how many magic guidance arrays can be carved into his wand in advance, and how many ways each guide array can be activated.

The Elemental Channel's wand is used to make Elemental Crystals, which are actually a simple guide array, and they often only have one way to excite. However, the strength of the Elemental Envoy is that he can make Elemental Crystals according to his needs on the battlefield, and the Wizard needs the help of the Alchemist to replace the guide array installed in the Wizard Staff.

And it usually takes half a day.

However, the problem with elemental envoys is that the production of attribute crystals must correspond to their attribute suitability, so the general elemental envoys will only be the main element, and then the other element.

And because of the existence of the Guiding Array, the Magician's casting speed is much faster than that of the Elemental Messenger, and the speed at which the Elemental Wizard generates crystals depends on his cognition and calculation ability of different elements.

At the same time, infusing the Empty Crystal with the surrounding elemental magic also requires him to have a strong elemental analysis ability, especially for the two elements of the water and air systems that show an uncertain state of magic.

However, it only took a second or two for Luo Yu to generate a first-order crystal, which made everyone's eyes light up, "It's so fast!" Tian Lan was a little surprised, she had seen some guild cultivated elemental envoys in the twelve-colored irise, but they were far from the level of Luo Yu.

And you know, the former has only been an elemental envoy for more than a month.

The taciturn boy spent about the same amount of time filling the crystal with the surrounding water elemental magic, turning it from colorless to a sapphire that glowed blue.

Then he threw it forward, and the crystal exploded not far away, forming a thick fog of ice and dust, obscuring everyone's view.

"Water Mist."

"The range is at least thirty percent larger than usual," Baggins has experienced many battles and is naturally well-informed: "This is the increase brought about by the enrichment of water elemental mana, we once fought with an elemental envoy in a storm, and we cast this spell in that environment, and that's it." ”

"The cast time has also been reduced by twenty percent," Luo Yu calculated, while looking at Kita, "In this environment, my combat power can be increased by at least more than half." ”

"No wonder Tapolis wants you and Kita to participate in the Trainee Trial," Sky Blue said suddenly, "They have already planned to have the two of you teamed up." But the naturalist and the magician are really powerful—"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

And Kita finally breathed a sigh of relief, gently wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and was about to put away the spell.

Naturally, she had a lot of worries in her heart, because she didn't have the bargaining power of Sky Blue to help Miss Attila sort out the logistics of the team; It's not like Luo Yu, who played a role in transforming Mr. Limestone's platform.

Although she likes to read books and has some knowledge that is out of the way, it doesn't seem to help everyone in her adventures. This made her anxious, and she became more and more suspicious that she was not good enough to be a Drafter, or even stay in the team.

In the past, her knowledge of magic books and naturalists had always only come from paper or in the community, and people had different opinions, which made her more and more worried.

But it was only at this moment that she had some confidence in her little heart, and she clenched her fist lightly - no matter what, she was no longer the oil bottle in this team.

After the spell dissipated, the aquatic jungle that had been real a moment ago also vanished, and the floor of the workshop returned to its original state, and the stone floor was still flat and smooth.

It was as if nothing had happened a moment ago.

Only a faint ice mist still settles and disperses in the air.

When Luos saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat with his hand, but he also felt the magic of the previous scene, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Jita and the others who were not far away.

Then he turned around and walked back to his office.

And it was at this time that Alyssa turned her head at the same time as the quiet fairy lady on her shoulder, and looked in one direction. There Fang Plover and Sylvede pushed the door in, and the two of them were talking and laughing, as if they were discussing something.

Of course, Alyssa knew what Fang Yu was doing when he went out with his ship's officer, and when she saw the looks of the two of them, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart.

It's just that before she could speak, Tianlan on the side had already asked: "Captain, Sister Sylvide, is there any news?" ”

Her question attracted everyone's attention, and the others saw Fang Yu and Sylvid, and they naturally knew that these two had gone out specifically to verify the news they had received before.

The news was that the others had stumbled upon the news that they had stumbled upon while searching for the recipient in the Binno district not long ago, and that they had a similar target to the old man they were looking for in a bar called 'Ocean Blue' in the Binno district, and that they would take their dog to sit there for two or three hours every Wednesday afternoon.

Since today happened to be Wednesday, Fang Yu and Sylvid went to check whether the news was true.

And in Tianlan's extremely envious gaze, Miss Fairy flew up from Alyssa's shoulder, flew towards Fang Yuan, and landed lightly on his palm. Fang Yu then bowed his head and said hello to Tata—and the former only nodded peacefully.

Although Miss Goblin is always by his side on weekdays, but recently, because Ji Ta was transferred to a naturalist, Fang Yu deliberately asked Miss Goblin to stay and let her assist Ji Ta.

After all, no one in the team knew more about ancient knowledge than this fairy lady.

However, Kita's temperament is too weak, and Fang Yu is not worried that she can protect Miss Tata under the watchful eye of the sky blue, so she entrusted it to Alyssa to prevent Miss Fairy from falling into the clutches of the latter.

Sky Blue is obviously haunted by this decision, so she doesn't care about him being called Brother Ed lately.

However, after spending a long time with Miss Tata, Kita respected this 'teacher', and Fang Yu could see that her fairy Miss also liked this diligent and inquisitive little girl.

After all, the attitude of the two towards knowledge is almost the same.

Raising his head and facing everyone's eyes, Fang Yu nodded: "The news is true, but we didn't meet each other today." ”

Sylvid added to his captain: "But the address of the other party has been investigated, and at number 374 in the district of Binno, we have hired someone to deliver the letter and make an appointment for the visit—just three days later." ”

"Really?" Tianlan reluctantly looked away from Miss Tata, "That means we can leave Gollander in three days?" Great, staying in this place for a month, the bones are about to rust! ”

She said excitedly.

The people laughed, after all, when they were on the Berio before, they hurriedly said that they wanted to arrive at Goland immediately, and then sleep beautifully in the big bed of the inn, and eat a big meal in the sky blue.

And now I can't wait to leave, and I completely forgot what I said before, it's still this little girl.

But everyone has long been accustomed to having such a lively and active little girl in the team, and it is not surprising.

……
