The reason why it is dark is because this thing does not have any magic fluctuations, so it can't emit a little light.

It hung straight in front of her like a faded painting, and several transparent lines could be faintly visible on it, which formed some strange patterns.

“…… What the hell is this? Xia looked at it a little confused, not knowing what he had just done.

This graphic looks a bit like summoning a magic circle, but it's different.

In its center is a circle, which occupies almost eighty percent of the entire pattern; If you look closely, there are also nine magic circles of different shapes around you, each of which seems to represent something.

“…… Hum. ”

The vampire girl snorted unhappily and threw her head aside.

"Wendy, this is—"

Xia said suspiciously.

"Don't ask me, who knows what you've made."

Wendy's face didn't look at her, and replied in an awkward tone:

"But I'd suggest you don't touch that thing, and get to know its origin and characteristics first."

As she said this, her eyes flashed red, and the space in the doorway returned to normal.

"Master, there's something new coming out of the system."

Little Lori saw that the obstacle disappeared, Xia also came to her senses, and hurriedly flew over to show her the information panel:

"But I don't have a name, so I don't know what this question mark represents."

Hearing what she said strangely, Xia frowned and looked at the information bar, and found that a gray question mark was displayed in the skill.

"This question mark is so familiar."

Her eyes stared at the skill frame without blinking, and she held her breath:

"Didn't Stephanie tell you? If this gray question mark appears in the skill bar, it means that there is an unknown skill. ”

"I seem to remember ......"

Erin said with some hesitation:

"But unlike my master's most powerful sword technique, I don't think it's a randomly acquired ability; Once displayed in the system, it will be a fixed skill and cannot be changed in any way. ”

“…… Doesn't it mean that the things that the system won't give out directly are all very powerful capabilities? ”

Because he was too impressed, Xia still remembered what the black-clothed little Lori said to herself when the nameless sword technique appeared:

"This question mark skill must be related to space magic, right? How could it be an ordinary cargo. ”

"That's a misunderstanding, master."

Although Erin is not very reliable, she is also a fragment of God, and she is still very clear about the system settings:

"As long as it's a random ability, it's going to be very powerful, that's right; However, not all powerful abilities must be extracted to obtain, such as the master's elemental awakening and self-created hybrid magic, which are quite powerful, but they are also fixed since they were acquired. ”

"Both elemental awakening and hybrid magic can continue to increase their power."

Xia didn't quite agree with her words:

"Is this question mark skill okay?"

"That's not clear, master."

Erin dutifully answered her question:

"You need to make this question mark skill a usable state first, in short, just give it a try."

Hearing this proposal, Natsu looked at the vampire girl with her big white legs crossed and her face facing away.

"Wendy told me not to touch this thing...... But if I don't touch it, how can I try it? ”

She hesitated in her heart.

Just as she was hesitating, Xue Qian walked through the door.

"I'm sorry, I left without permission for a long time because I suddenly remembered something."

Her first sentence was to apologize to Xia:

"It's my own business, but there is some information that should be helpful to everyone, so let's find a place to talk about it in detail later."

Since her return from her disappearance, the Flame Goddess's personality seems to have changed a lot, becoming closer to the image she used to have in the world of memory.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Xia also noticed this change, but this is not a bad thing, because the two have always gotten along very well.

And...... Xue Qian, who evolved from the fire element to a god, wants to regain her former strength, and she can't do without Erin's help, which is the most crucial factor.

"This seems to be a summoning magic array, I saw it a long time ago."

Xue Qian was stunned for a moment when she saw the dim pattern emerging in front of her, and a confused look appeared on her face.

"Really? Where did you see that? Do you know what it's for? ”

Natsu grabbed her body in surprise and asked in her mind.

"It should have been after that great tribulation."

Being so close to her, Xue Qian's body was a little stiff at first, but then slowly relaxed:

"The land was subjected to unprecedented upheaval, first by an unknown light covering the central area, turning it into a world of death; Then there was the fall of the head of the giant from the sky, causing a strong shock that swept across the continent, and even the climate changed, and it took a long time for it to return to normal. ”

"A year after the fall of the head of the giant, I met a man in the scorching heat......"

Xue Qian's expression suddenly became nervous, she raised her right hand to cover her eyes, and said in a painful voice:

"I, I seem...... Something similar was seen in him. ”

"Xue Qian, Xue Qian?"

Natsu felt that the place she touched became cold, and this was not something that should have happened to the Flame Goddess.

"Get out of the way."

Wendy's voice suddenly came from behind her.

The silver-haired girl subconsciously dodged to the side, and two rays of light shot out of Wendy's red pupils, hitting Xue Qian's forehead.

Xue Qian's body stiffened and slowly fell backwards.

"My head hurts so much......"

Xue Qian's voice on the ground suddenly changed:

"What happened?"

"Edith?"

Xia carefully helped her up:

"Are you alright?"

"It doesn't seem like much, it's just a little headache."

Edith moaned~ groaned.

"She thought of something she shouldn't have remembered, so I sealed her for the time being, and it would be unlocked in about 3 minutes."

Wendy turned, sat back in her chair, and crossed her legs to:

"Forget what she said...... Keep up your magical research, I'm a little curious to see how far you can go. ”

"But the man she just said ......"

In addition to her worries about Xue Qian's safety, Xia is worried about something else.

- What did that man do to the Flame Goddess? Why did Xue Qian look like she was in pain when she mentioned the other party?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen like you imagined."

Wendy knew her very well, and sarcastically said:

"Aaron is a very dedicated person, and since his lover died, he hasn't looked at a woman with his eyes, so don't think about it."

"Aaron?"

Natsu heard another impressive name.

"I told you a long time ago, don't ask too much about things you shouldn't know, because it won't do you any good."

Vampire Girl Cool Says:

"Alright, let's do what you're doing right now."

"Say it's business...... How do you do that? You won't let me touch it. ”

Natsu muttered as she tried to communicate with the magic array.

"Magical traction."

Wendy sat in her chair and looked at her and said:

"Because it's space-related, there are unpredictable risks associated with direct physical contact; Since it can't be easily touched, the only way to do it is to use remote activation. ”

"With what?"

In the face of such an unknown and dangerous thing, Xia had a feeling that he didn't know what to do.

"You're asking me?"

The vampire said in a somewhat unkind tone:

"This is something you made, how would I know?"

"Then try it with the weakest magic...... To be on the safe side. ”

Natsu summoned a bolt of lightning and slashed it at the transparent magic array from above.

As a result, the lightning did not work at all, and directly passed through the middle of the magic array, slammed down to the floor, and pierced a small blackened hole in the ground.

"Mana Entanglement!"

Then she tried another wood-based spell that she wasn't very good at.

Magic vines rose from the small hole just now, forming a field of plants there, and then whipped the magic circle in the air like whips, but each time they swept through the transparent shape, completely unable to entangle.

"Eyes of Earthfire!"

After two consecutive spells without seeing the effect, Xia was a little anxious and used a fire magic that he was better at.

A network of magical power disappeared to the ground under the control of her psychic power, and then the surface erupted violently, forming a fountain of flames in its place.

This time, she used the Elemental Awakening, and the condensed flames turned into fireballs, which exploded one after another in mid-air like fireworks, many of which hit the magic array.

"One of the nine graphics on the edge lights up!"

Xia suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the transparent magic circle in front of him.

She noticed that the icon in the upper left corner, which at first glance looked like a flame, had turned into a vigorous flame, and it was still burning more and more intensely.

"Wow, master, that one looks so pretty."

Erin also came over and looked at the magic array that reacted for the first time, with a look of surprise.

"Boom!!"

As soon as she got closer, the flames above the magic array suddenly erupted, and the entire room instantly turned into a sea of fire.

"Uh......"

About 3 minutes had passed, and she sensed the breath of the flames again, and Xue Qian's consciousness woke up, and then she saw Xia hurriedly extinguishing the fire.

"I'm sorry, master."

Erin knew she had done something wrong again, and carefully apologized.

"Okay, okay, just remember to stay away in a moment."

Xia didn't have the strength to blame her, and he used water magic and rippled fighting qi to slap, and finally extinguished all the things that were burning.

She herself was not afraid of the flames created by magic, but once the fire spread, she was afraid that she would not be able to continue living here.

"Hey, master, there's another pattern on the magic array."

As soon as Erin, who wanted to make up for it, looked up and found that the transparent circle in the air had changed, she hurriedly reported the situation to her master.

"Really?"

Xia wiped his sweat and came to the quietly suspended magic array, and sure enough, he found that a pattern in the lower left corner was activated, taking on the shape of a water droplet.

"I seem to get it a little bit."

She looked at the two figures, one orange and one blue, and had some realization in her heart:

"Is it because I used Elemental Awakening just now?"

She tried to bring the wind and earth elements together to make them awaken, and sure enough, two more patterns lit up.

These two patterns are the appearance of a leaf, and the shape of a rock, according to her idea, probably represent the wood and earth types, so that all the four elemental awakenings she will have are complete.

"According to this deduction, there should be 6 series of elemental magic ...... in the 9 shapes on the edge."

She pondered the composition of this magic array:

"Then in addition to these 6, the remaining 3 may need dark magic and divine magic to activate...... But what the hell is the 9th? ”

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't come up with anything that could be juxtaposed with the 8 basic elements.

"Could it be that the big circle in the middle is time magic, and the ninth pattern represents space magic?"

"No, that's overlapping...... This magic array itself should be related to space. ”

The vampire girl sitting next to her looked at her in silence, her eyes full of indescribable expressions.

Naturally, just the flames couldn't hurt her, but Xia's amazing performance greatly surprised her.

"She's done it with just one hint."

Seeing the magic array gradually lit up in the air, the vampire girl's heart couldn't tell what it was:

"Even if it's not a soul possession, or if a god is reincarnated...... There must be other secrets in her, too. ”

"What the hell is it?"

She suddenly realized that she had a faint fear of the idea.

As if one day she knew the secret, she would immediately lose everything, and this premonition made her creepy. (To be continued.) )
