Chapter 127: Lessons

"Abba, look! I put... Well, I'm a little dizzy, and there's little stars spinning around. The excitement on Helen's face quickly turned to exhaustion after completing the healing magic, and before Lothar could say anything, her body began to become more illusory, gradually fading into the air, "I'm going to sleep, Abba, I'll come back to you when I wake up." ”

"She's going to be fine, is she?" said the Earl with a frown at Cheese after Helen's figure had completely disappeared, and he had seen Helen tired after playing, but it was the first time that Helen had shouted that she was tired. In general, small children do not actively make statements of fatigue and will only fall asleep on their own while resting.

"It's fine. The mage replied in the affirmative, but his words did not stop here, "except that for the next few days she will have a headache and a slight nausea, she will lose her balance when she walks, and she will lose the strength of her limbs. To put it simply, it is the same as fever, but you don't need to take medication to recover after a few days. ”

Not only Lothar but even Atta, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the gray robe with surprised eyes, "Why do you want to do this? She's just a child, there's no need for her to do such a reluctant thing." ”

The person who asked this was a swordswoman, and Lothar, who was Helen's father, was also full of confusion, but did not speak as directly as she did, and the Count knew that Cheese was not a person who would do meaningless acts, and that he would not do anything unfavorable to his daughter, his future student. But even so, curiosity drove him to hope for an explanation.

"She needs this lesson. The mage replied naturally, without the slightest discomfort on his face that he had deceived the little girl, because he believed that what he had done was completely correct and well-reasoned, but considering the companions present, he continued to explain after giving a conclusion, "Yuanyou, that's what we call this kind of magic that separates the mind and the body, the principle of this kind of magic is so subtle that almost no one can explain it clearly, and most of the people who master this kind of magic have different opinions. However, it is undeniable that the magic of the long-distance travel type is extremely dangerous, and some rough long-distance travel will even cause the user's spiritual body to be blown away by the wind, resulting in the complete fragmentation of the personality. But don't worry, Helen's mastery of magic is no problem, and witches' methods of casting spells are often surprisingly efficient, although extremely intuitive. But Helen is not a witch. ”

Cheese had carefully examined Helen's body when he was in the Greylion, especially after Peg had explained to him how Helen had been born. As a result, Helen, conceived during a witch ritual, did possess some witch traits, but she was not a witch, and her biological characteristics proved that she was indeed the offspring of Lothar and the networm, a purebred human. This situation is not unfamiliar to cheeses, and it is often mentioned in the case that someone was exposed to magic before they were born, and after birth, they showed a similar instinctive talent for spell-casting, but this talent is subtle, and the effect of magic on them is not permanent, maybe in a few months or years, they will eventually return to mortals, which is very different from the ability brought by the racial characteristics of witches.

"She's not a witch, but she's been exposed to magic, so she'll have to be trained to understand what she's using. A qualified spell caster must understand that casting a spell itself is a very dangerous thing, that every time we cast a spell, we are changing the outer nature and the inner self, and that self-discipline and self-control are the basic skills, above all else..."Cheese stopped at this point, as he remembered that his teacher had actually told him when he first formally participated in the Grey Robe training. Yes, self-discipline, self-control, and eternal reverence for magic, these are the things that anyone can say, but when he has really become a gray robe, does he really remember this?

"Anyway, this loss of mana will make her afraid of casting spells, and this fear will protect her from being taken away when we can't teach her directly. The methods are a little rougher, but they don't actually hurt her, and regular catharsis can also reduce a lot of problems that can occur. Besides, it's a last resort. The mage smiled wryly and shook his shoulders slightly, and Lothar stepped forward to lift his sleeves, only to find that both arms under the gray robe were twisted and deformed to varying degrees.

"When I fell from it, I subconsciously supported it with my hand, and I may have hurt my bones. Without gesture assistance, my ability to cast spells will be limited. But it's a blessing to be able to hold on to our lives, isn't it? At least everything on us is still there, not like the tree. Following Cheese's words, he looked at Amagi not far away, and he could see that a distinct scratch appeared on the bark of the large tree, and the thick bark was destroyed by the violent friction, revealing the tissues underneath. Fortunately, this level of damage was nothing for the size of the Amaki, and other than that, it only broke two branches that were not too thick. Although, those two broken roots look like two towers when stuck in the ground.

"Is that thing gone?" Lothar asked with some trepidation, looking at the two new huge branches on the grassland, even from so far away, the horror of the worm penetrated deep into his heart.

"Perhaps, but just as Helen would be jealous of the consumption of mana, that thing shouldn't be on the ground for a while. Cheese looked at the marks on the Amaki and replied irresponsibly. He had a vague feeling that the previous axe hadn't really hit the worm hard, and even the person who had split it seemed to have deliberately reserved it. And the worms really dislike them, and it is also after Cheese miscalculated the ability of the Breath of Dawn to scratch Tianmu, between the spirits and the worms, between the worms and Tianmu, I am afraid that there is not only a simple relationship between the invader and the invaded, the predator and the predator. The complexity of the situation is beyond Cheese's ability to see through and understand.

"What about Batu and Kailas, how are they?" Atta was still concerned about her companion, and she asked the question as soon as the pain in her leg stopped hindering her thinking.

"Don't worry, they're all fine, the cat goblin broke a few bones like me, but none of them were critical. Batuu, his situation is quite special, and it may take some time to wake up. "Actually, the first person to wake up was Kailas, it was the cat fairy who found Cheese and Batu, but Batu's situation was more complicated, the mage asked the former, who had a foot injury and immobility, to stay and take care of Batuu after a simple diagnosis, and he tried to find Atta in the vast grass. Fortunately, Lothar did not sit idly by, and appeared in time to stop the female swordsman from doing something stupid, and at the same time attracted the attention of the mage.

"Yes, that's good..."Atta's heart was relieved when he heard the news that his companion was fine, and the feeling of weakness caused by blood loss suddenly came up, and he fainted again. Thankfully, Lothar didn't let her torso and head hit the ground even though she grabbed her upper body.

Cheese looked at the swordswoman who had fainted again, and noticed that she had many wounds on her body in addition to her legs, and that her clothes were torn and stained when they fell, which was even more embarrassing than when he first saw Atta, "Okay? maybe." ”
