A dark and secluded basement.

When Lilith first woke up, Rosen was still hunched over her desk and was writing a book.

The first thing she does when she wakes up is to feel her body carefully.

Her body was still motionless, at most she could only move her fingers slightly, judging from the touch of the futon, she should not have any clothes on her.

This discovery made her secretly grit her teeth: 'I don't know if this guy took advantage of me while I was unconscious...... Forget it, even if you take it, what if you take it? He saved my life in an extremely dangerous situation, such a big favor, take advantage of it. ’

She moved her waist again, although she only moved slightly, but it was enough to feel the situation in the bedding, the quilt was very warm, very dry, there was no smell, and the embarrassment that happened before was like a dream.

In fact, even in retrospect, Lilith still felt panicked, and her cheeks burned slightly.

After a long while, she came back to her senses and asked, "I forgot to ask, what's your name?" ”

The rustling of writing overhead paused, then continued: "No name." ”

"Don't say it. How long did I faint this time? ”

"More than half an hour. Hey, forget it, if there are any other questions you want to ask, ask them all, and I'll answer you all at once. Rosen stopped the quill in his hand, and he raised his hand to his forehead, a little irritated by the interruption of his inspiration.

Lilith could hear Rosen's impatience, and she could understand it, because when she was focused on learning magic, she also hated being disturbed: "I'm sorry to bother you...... That one....... I have a request. ”

"Say, I'll see if I can do it." Rosen didn't say anything to death.

Lilith said, "I would like to ask you to do me a favor and go out and inquire about Count Derrick." ”

Rosen was curious: "You care about his life or death?" ”

He was sure that Lilith already knew that Count Derek also had a role to play in the poisoning incident, so, strictly speaking, Count Derek was already Lilith's enemy of life and death, and this girl was asking this now, could it be that she wanted revenge?

"Yes." Lilith's tone was calm, and she couldn't hear a trace of emotion.

Rosen became more and more strange: "Then let me ask you, do you want him to die or live?" ”

Lilith looked at the gloomy corner and whispered, "Personally, of course I want him to die." But my personal emotions are not important compared to the interests of the Academy, and my task is to keep him safe. This is a very important task given to me by the Academy, so I hope he is still alive now. ”

"Even if he designed to poison you?" Rosen was dumbfounded.

"Yes, even if he does, I have to protect him. Of course, there will be punishment afterwards, and Count Derek will have to pay for his stupidity, but he can't die. ”

"Even if he meant to insult you? Even if he didn't think about saving you after he escaped from poisoning, he sent out his guards to search for your whereabouts and wanted to kill you? ”

“...... Even if he does, I'll have to get the job done! Lilith took a deep breath, as if suppressing some kind of intense emotion.

Rosen obeyed, he suddenly felt that this girl was very pitiful, and he couldn't even do the most basic revenge for himself, this time, if she died, then she would die worthless, and she would eventually be destroyed by Count Derrick.

He couldn't help but sneer, "Oh~ You are really a perfect magician, and the Nilogaard Academy will definitely be proud to have a magician like you." ”

This is for him, if he can survive by luck, once his body recovers, he will rush back and tear Count Derek alive as soon as possible, no, he will regret his abuse and come to the world, and then he will end his life.

Lilith closed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Can you help me with this?" If you will, I will repay you in any way I can. ”

"To be honest, I don't want to help. But I've been bored here for a few days, and I'm really going to go out, and it's not out of the question to help you get news of the Earl. Rosen was reluctant.

After saying that, he carefully put away the papyrus manuscript on the table, put it into the package, and then took out the meat grinder and the spiral troll two muskets from the package, and took out all kinds of bombs to hang on his body.

"I'm not going to let you work in vain, what do you want in return?" Lilith turned her head as hard as she could, trying to get a look at Lawson, but with all her might, her neck remained motionless, as if she were paralyzed, completely out of her control.

"No need to ...... Wait, I heard you're the only space mage in the academy, right? Rosen suddenly thought of something that he was interested in.

"Yes." Lilith nodded slightly, relieved that this guy still had what he wanted.

Lawson sat back in his chair and asked curiously, "I'd like to ask about teleportation magic." Because according to my calculations, if you want to break the spatial barrier and achieve an instantaneous jump, you need terrifying strength to do it. This power is so great that it can even turn the whole world into ashes, but it is not, and I wonder, how the hell did you do it? ”

Space teleportation is the only thing that Lawson can't figure out after coming to the other world, because according to the theory on the earth, if you want to achieve space jumping, you must first open the wormhole, and the matter of opening the wormhole is very complicated, not only to open the wormhole, but also to maintain the stability of the wormhole with a large amount of antimatter.

In order to create a stable wormhole that can pass through such a fragile structure as the human body, the diameter of the wormhole must be very large, otherwise the curved space can easily tear the human body into elementary particles.

But the teleportation magic displayed by Dias and Lilith completely subverted Rosen's cognition.

When Lilith heard this question, a very strange look appeared on her face: "Aren't you an alchemist?" I think your strength is at least the level of a one-star magician. You have such strength at such a young age, don't you have the guidance of a famous teacher? ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, the basics of teleportation magic are known to anyone who is a full-fledged magician."

Rosen looked surprised: "Then you assume I don't know, and you explain it to me?" ”

"Okay." Lilith gathered her thoughts and said, "Teleportation magic appeared 700 years ago and was discovered by the great magician Willan. He found that by activating something called a space crystal with his magic and imagining the teleportation destination in his mind, he could reach his destination in an instant. There are two difficulties in teleportation magic, the first is the space crystal. This mineral is very rare. The second is the magic that activates the space crystal. Although there are many mages, not every type of magic can react with the Space Crystal. Luckily, I'm one of the few magicians on the continent who can activate spatial crystals. ”

Rosen listened very carefully, but when he finished listening, he was disappointed: "It's that simple? ”

"It's as simple as that."

"Is it possible for a non-space mage to use a space crystal?"

"Yes. However, it is necessary for the space mage to solidify his magic power in the crystal, and when he uses it, he can activate the space magic to help the user teleport. Of course, solidifying magic requires some knowledge of runes, which is a bit difficult, but with some hard work, any magician can master runes. ”

"I see." Rosen remembered the magician Dias who had teleported away at the beginning, and now that he thought about it, the space crystal in his hand was given to him by Lilith nine times out of ten.

Although Lilith gave the answer, it was too general and superficial, and it was only an explanation at the level of technical application, which was 108,000 miles away from the physical principles that Rosen expected to explain using mathematics.

Unwilling, he asked, "Is there any more explanation?" ”

"Nope. In fact, the Academy's research on space magic is very rudimentary. For example, although I am a space magician, in addition to teleportation magic, the only power I can really use to fight is the 'Space Jet' move. You've already experienced this trick, right? ”

Rosen recalled Lilith's magical power and nodded slightly, "I did experience it." It's straightforward and powerful. ”

He was very dissatisfied with Lilith's explanation, but considering the level of technological development in this world, Lilith could only give such a level.

"One last question, are space crystals expensive? Where can I get it? ”

Since Lilith couldn't give a deeper explanation, Rosen planned to do his own research.

Lilith: "It's expensive, a fully usable crystal costs about 5,000 gold dragon coins, and it can usually only be used once. In addition, this crystal is mined randomly, some in tombs, some with minerals, and sometimes, a farmer may be able to dig it up with a hoe. ”

Rosen nodded thoughtfully: "Interesting." ”

Judging from Lilith's description, the space crystal is not like a natural mineral, but more like some kind of ancient relic. In this world, there are still many strange humanoid monsters, and perhaps, there was indeed a very developed civilization in ancient times.

I asked everything I could, and although I didn't get the expected answer, I finally gained something.

Rosen got into action, he walked to the corner of the basement and moved the wrench: "I'll go out and inquire about the situation." Rest in peace, I'll be back soon. ”

When the floor moved halfway away, Lawson stopped his movements, turned around, and took out a flashlight: "This is an alchemy item, for lighting." The candles will burn out later, and if you feel the room is dark, click here. ”

Rosen demonstrated how to use it and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"See, is this something like Count Derek's Soft Light Ball?"

"Yes, the same thing."

Rosen put the flashlight next to Lilith: "Your fingers can move, right?" ”

"Barely moving."

"You try."

Lilith moved her fingers hard, 'Bang~' turned on the flashlight switch, and the basement suddenly became much brighter.

Looking at the flashlight emitting a steady white light, Lilith's eyes showed irrepressible curiosity, she felt that this thing was very magical, more mysterious than the space magic she was familiar with.

Seeing that Lilith's attention was attracted by the flashlight, Rosen said, "Then I'll go out, and I'll be back in half a day at most." ”
