Chapter 37: Refining

Sylvia put together three items summoned from the Atlantic world, spread firewood underneath, poured some oil on top, found an empty glass bottle, and lit the pyre with a lighter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the flames scorched, all three items revealed a faint arcane glow.

"You see, all items from the world of Atlantia contain magic, and once the items are damaged, the magical energy inside will evaporate, and if no one cares, they will float into our world, and they will quickly dissipate due to the small number of them, but if you have enough skill-"

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and took off the pendant around her neck, holding the pendant in one hand, holding the bottle in the other hand and pointing at the three items, Sylvia closed her eyes, and a huge magic array appeared on the ground around the burning pyre, under Sylvia's control, those blue arcane lights detached from the three items like a trace of smoke, and flew towards the bottle in her hand, gradually condensing in the bottle, Soon, the originally empty bottle contained a few more drops of a strange liquid that emitted a bright blue light.

After a long while, until there was no longer a trace of blue smoke, Sylvia stopped, and the few items had completely lost all their luster and looked completely normal, burning in flames.

And in the bottle in her hand, there were a few more drops of blue liquid.

Sylvia closed the lid, looked at the liquid in the bottle with a fascination and longing gaze, and nodded with satisfaction, "These should be enough for me for a few days." ”

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of mineral water, eagerly dripped a drop of blue liquid into it, and drank it in one gulp.

The blue arcane light shone through her, and her body began to change, her thighs became slender, her hair grew at the edges, and she changed from dark brown to a dazzling fiery red, and soon, Sylvia returned to her original appearance.

Everything seemed to be back to normal, but something seemed to be different, Sylvia looked at the empty bottle in her hand, vaguely feeling that the emptiness and hunger in her heart had not been filled, and she desperately wanted more.

Bad! It occurred to her mind that she had been very restrained in controlling the intake of the Arcane Essence, but for some reason, the Arcane Essence that could have allowed her to be fully satisfied was now just barely able for her to bear.

"So this is your secret, your so-called advanced magic," Xing Tianyu asked in disbelief, but he still longed for Sylvia's magic before, but he didn't expect that this was completely a drug flow.

Sylvia came back to her senses and raised her eyebrows, "Of course, otherwise what do you think it is, do you want me to recite a few spells and make some gestures, magic is energy, as long as there is energy, you can do anything, if you don't have energy, you can't do anything, it's as simple as that." ”

"That's why you're so desperate to reclaim the Atlas."

"That's right, I have to use the Book of Otherworlds to replenish the Arcane Essence, and then I want to collect as much of this liquid as possible, the last time the Book of the Otherworlds was stolen, I had too little in stock, otherwise I wouldn't have acted in such a hurry, this time I have to save a few boxes of it, preferably enough for my life."

"If you don't have the Arcane Essence, you'd be feeling bad." Xing Tianyu suddenly asked pointedly.

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, her face a little ugly, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because I've used magic, I once ate an apple summoned from the world of Atlanti, and it gave me magic, but when I used that magic, I felt a strong sense of emptiness and loss, and I had only absorbed a little bit of magic at that time, considering the whole half bottle of magic you drank yesterday-"

Xing Tianyu didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already obvious, but Sylvia sighed, "You're right, arcane energy is a magical magical energy, it can do anything, but it also means that once you lose it, you lose everything, and arcane energy is volatile, even if I don't do anything, it will still gradually drain, so I have to keep replenishing, but fortunately, now that I have the Book of Otherworlds, I will protect it like protecting my life." ”

"You haven't thought about getting rid of this symptom?"

"Of course I thought about it, but it's hard, because arcane energy is not a curse or a disease, it acts on the soul, and to repair the soul, only God can do it, and even if there is a chance to fix it, I doubt that I will give up on arcane magic, because it is so good, with it I have everything, and if I lose it, even if I don't have that addiction symptom, I will feel that I have nothing to love.

So if I summon the god of lights in the future, I'll let it give me endless arcane energy, and that will solve all problems. ”

In the next few days, Xing Tianyu helped Sylvia summon and refine a lot of arcane essence, and Sylvia also half-jokingly invited him to use it together, but Xing Tianyu thought about it and finally refused, although the arcane magic is indeed powerful and practical, but Xing Tianyu doesn't want to become an addict, he has deeply experienced that once the magic is used up, there is a strong sense of emptiness.

After accumulating half a bottle of arcane essence, Sylvia finally eased up and no longer refined the arcane essence, on the one hand, because the arcane essence in her hand was enough for her to use for a while, and on the other hand, the reason was that the two still encountered a few accidents when summoning, although they did not cause any permanent damage, but they also caused a lot of fright, and during the day, the two of them wandered around.

"Speaking of which, why do you live in such a remote place?" Walking on the broken path, Sylvia asked curiously.

"My family was not like this before, it was still a village at that time, but then for some reasons, most of the people in the village moved away, and our family was about to move, but unfortunately-" The two said while coming to a hillside, Xing Tianyu looked around, the environment around the village had long been different, and the appearance of the surroundings had completely changed, and the original lush cornfields and sweet potato fields were all replaced by apple trees at this time.

Since it was not the busy farming season, there was hardly a single person around, and the scattered dwellings that used to sit on the hillside were all gone.

However, there are still some things that have not changed much, such as the mountain he once climbed, the orchard where he stole the fruit, and an old locust tree that was about to die.
