Chapter 37: The Meeting of Fate

What is the soul? This is a very esoteric question. After all, it has always existed, and humans have not been able to prove its existence in any form. Since the beginning of magic on the continent, the discovery of soul magic has been even later than that of any other system of magic, which has also created that soul magic is only in the exploration stage until now.

Closing the notebook in her hand, Firena couldn't help but rub her swollen temples, the explanation of the definition of the soul in the notebook can be said to be beyond the scope of philosophy. Every time she read the contents of the notebook, Firena's three views were refreshed, and even she sometimes doubted her own life.

"No wonder that lich went mad and even fell from Legendary to Gold! I feel like I'm going to be driven crazy if I do the same work I do day and night! ”

Lying on the back of the Director-General, Firena couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and when she searched the Lich's laboratory yesterday, she found his diary, which recorded all the important deeds of the Lich Offh before he went mad, and these deeds made Firena feel that he really had the talent to be the protagonist.

Before he became a lich, the Lich Ofh was the Minister of Magic of a Duchy. Under the full cultivation of the principality, he has the dual talents of necromancy and soul, and he has climbed all the way up to the legendary level. However, he was supposed to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, but one day he suddenly announced that he wanted to study soul magic, and even risked his life to test his own reasoning. However, he failed, and the result of his failure was the death of his body, after which he transformed himself into a lich and survived. However, a single failure did not dampen his thirst for soul magic, and after that, he went on a frenzied rampage of human experiments throughout the Duchy, eventually being hunted down by the Church of Light and fleeing to the Lost Woods after he had plagued the civilians of a city.

"Master, that lich seems to be a pathetic figure too! It's a pity that he went in the wrong direction, otherwise he might have been passed down through the ages. Hearing his master's complaints, Mr. Okita couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Oh no! Miss Okita is still too superficial! Shakespeare stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Soji Okita, and continued: "From the day he abandoned the magic of the dead, the lich has embarked on a path of no return! ”

"Well, although it is not pleasing to the eye, I still agree with his words, beautiful Miss Okita." Sanamatsu, who was following behind Soji Okita, continued with a big sword as a guard: "He is the last to die, and the chance of success can be said to be very slim. ”

"Oh-oh, I see!" After hearing the words of the other two, the head secretary nodded in understanding, then turned to Firena on his back and said, "Master, you've been looking at that notebook since you left that forest, will you become like that lich!" ”

Gently tapping the head of the chief secretary with her little fist, Firena said with some annoyance, "Why do I feel like I'm cursing me when I hear your words!" I just wondered why the Lich had fallen from Legendary to Gold! Whether it's his own reason or this cultivation method. What are you doing here! ”

In the notebook that Shakespeare turned out, this set of detailed exercises for cultivating soul magic was recorded. According to Auf's diary, this set of exercises was obtained by chance from the mansion of a demigod-level powerhouse, and it was precisely because of this cultivation method that Auf began his journey of soul cultivation.

Unlike other spells, you only need to have mana and a spell that is imprinted to trigger and arrange the magic particles to be released. On the basis of ordinary magic, soul magic adds a concept of soul power, when a soul mage releases magic, he first uses his soul power to guide the magic power, and releases the magic in accordance with the arrangement of the spell. In other words, compared to other types of magic, soul magic not only takes time to cultivate magic power, but also needs time to cultivate soul power. Therefore, there are very few soul mages in history who have achieved anything, and ordinary people will not choose to cultivate this magic unless they only have a single soul talent.

"Don't worry, master, let's practice first! It's a big deal that when you arrive at the academy, you find that there is something wrong, and it's not too late to give up that exercise! The head secretary who was knocked on the head by Firena stuck out his tongue mischievously and said with a smile: "Master, our goal is the Academy of Magic, didn't you say it, you are now playing an innocent and squeamish rich girl!" You're frowning like this, but you're going to be exposed! ”

"Damn it! Why should I play a naΓ―ve rich girl! How could I be so stupid in the first place to choose a character whose personality is so incompatible with me! ”

"Isn't this what you said yourself, master, I'm a squeamish daughter of a rich family now." The Director-General learned from Firena's tone and repeated what Firena said yesterday.

"Hmph, you can't bring this up again, or it's up to me how I govern you!" After saying that, Firena gently plucked the silly hair on the head of the head with some annoyance.

Feeling the dull hair on his head being ruthlessly teased by his master, the head secretary instantly softened: "Master! Don't! I don't dare. ”

It turned out that Firena accepted the setting that the current level of the servant can only reach level 30, after all, people like her who rely on the system to eat, the system is the existence of an uncle. After searching the lich's room and finding nothing of great value, Firena decided to get out of the Lost Forest after packing some valuable magic materials into the space bracelet.

But when she was about to get out of the Lost Forest, Firena called her servants over again to discuss the plan after going out. After all, walking out of the Lost Forest is equivalent to reaching the edge of the Endless Forest, although it will take two days to get to the nearest town, but because there are no powerful magical beasts in this journey, there are a large number of mercenary groups and adventure teams in it. It was clear that the previous killings would not solve the problem, so Firena decided that the four of them would pretend to be an adventuring party.

As for the roles they play, they are the squeamish daughter of a rich family played by Firena; The Director-General is responsible for playing the role of a weak maid; Sanson is responsible for playing the role of a guard who speaks little; As for Shakespeare, he plays the role of a troubadour, after all, the adventures of the rich daughter always have to leave a little story for others to tell, which is a common problem of all the nobles on the mainland. When Firena said this, everyone thought about it and felt a little substitutional, and even they couldn't find anything wrong with it, and they nodded in agreement. So Firena led a small team of two level 30 and level 18 Heroic Spirits out of the Lost Forest.

After taking her first steps out of the forest, Firena took a deep breath of fresh air and vowed that even if she blew her dog's head, she would never step into the lost forest again. However, what she didn't know was that the next moment she finished swearing the poisonous oath, there was a deafening sound from the original lich's laboratory, and then a deep tunnel appeared in the originally empty basement, and the tunnel emitted a faint purple gas, and after a piercing scream came from the tunnel, the tunnel returned to calm again.

Firena, who had no idea that she was frantically setting up a flag, was completely paralyzed by the head secretary at this time, and said boredly: "How long will it take for us to get out!" It's so boring! At this time, according to the plot of the novel, isn't it because there should be a beautiful girl who is hunted down, why hasn't it appeared yet! ”

"Master, I'm going to the town soon, please bear with me! And don't say such irresponsible things. The director, who was slightly aware of his master's crow's beak attribute, immediately stopped Firena's speech.

"Haha, it's just a joke. Who is so boring now, and in the stage of not being able to enchant, and can't read the book. Hearing the words of the Director-General, Firena laughed.

"Master, I guess it's not that simple." Sansong, who didn't talk much along the way, stopped her at this time, put his hand next to her ear and listened carefully to the movement ahead, and then said to Firena: "Master, it seems that there is the sound of fighting and the sound of children crying over there!" It's only about 100 meters away from us. ”

Hearing Sanson's words, the eyes of all the servants looked at Firena, and Firena, who was a little hairy in their hearts, couldn't help but shout:

"Hey, you can't blame me for this. I'm just saying it casually! ”

β€œmaster! We think that some things are not as simple as they imagined, and people like you who are not simple can say something causal, and we will not be surprised in the slightest. ”

After saying that, Shakespeare, who felt that he had some point, touched his mustache and nodded at Firena with a smile. After a little thought, the others also nodded their heads with a reasonable feeling.

"You ...... Are you trying to me off? Firena couldn't help but be angry when she saw that the Heroic Spirits from the original three camps were on the same side.

"Hi Hi, Master! We're just joking with you, don't take it personally. Now the question is, how do we handle the fight ahead? ”

Seeing that his lord was really angry, Shakespeare couldn't help but skim the matter and threw a new question at Firena.

"Hmph, don't you think I'm responsible for what happened before, so let's go and join in the fun, and if we can help, we'll help. I'm going to prove to you that I'm not some poisonous milk! ”

After speaking, he commanded everyone to quietly walk towards the edge of the fight.

However, when Firena walked to the brink of a fight, she regretted her decision to come here. The scene was not a fight between mercenaries as she had imagined, but a group of uniformed soldiers, and in the middle of the soldiers' protection, stood a leading officer and an 8.9-year-old boy. Their opponents were 6 men dressed in black, and despite the large number of troops, every attack of the men in black could take a human life.

"Sansong, can you get rid of the man in black below?"

"That's fine, master!"

"Then they'll all be left to you! If you're not sure, you're allowed to use the Noble Phantasm! ”

With that, Firena buried her head in the back of the head of the chief secretary and ignored the rest, but if anyone looked carefully into Firena's eyes at this time, they would notice that her eyes flashed with a red light at this time.
