After all, not every mission will face such dangers.

Zhou Lu is facing the problem of not being able to continue to maintain the follow-up combat effectiveness after using up the energy in the magical girl's magic necklace. Although it can be fatal in relatively difficult battles, it is still rare in real battles that she can use up the energy in the magic armor at one time. And this mission is actually not very important, even Qin Yue did not come. Zhou Lu and Herelli had just arrived, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

In order not to run in vain, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back, Zhou Lu took Herelli to scatter her heart on the street.

"Yesterday my brother and I had a barbecue and grilled your white fish cakes," Zhou Lu said, "It's super delicious, have you ever eaten Herrely?" ”

"I also love white fish cakes, as well as meat pies and walnut soup, which are very delicious."

"Oh-I know!" Hearing these familiar names, Zhou Lu said excitedly, "It's all level 60 top food, I remember that there is also that kind of earth dragon meatloaf!" ”

However, Herelli's reaction was not very positive: "Isn't the Earth Dragon Patty delicious...... I've only heard that highlanders like to eat. ”

Is it true that reality and games are different? As they discussed, Herelli was visibly absent-minded.

"Speaking of which, today's battle is so easy, and I'm going to try out those newly learned skills." Zhou Lu said, "Sure enough, it is not often that a situation as difficult as the last mission is. ”

Herelli nodded, not replying. Zhou Lu asked, "Herley, are you in a bad mood?" ”

"Huh? No," Herelli froze. Only then did he reply, "It's just that there have been some problems in cultivation recently......

Zhou Lu became interested: "What's the problem?" ”

"Recently, I've reached the final stage of my advanced trial. But it's an advanced magic that can't be mastered. ”

"Advanced?" Zhou Lu said. "Is Herelli going to be a second-level professional? Judge or Sacrifice? ”

"Zhou Lu, do you know too?" Surprised, Helleli said, "I'm going to advance to the Inquisitor. ”

"Inquisitor?" Zhou Lu was a little surprised, "I also think that with Herrely, your character will advance to the rank of sacrificial officer." ”

"No......" said Harley, "the priest can help the others more, but I want to play a bigger role in the battle. ”

"Girls' families don't fight and kill all day long."

"I hate it!"

The two girls laughed and talked quietly on the road, and soon forgot about the unpleasantness of a moment ago. And Zhou Lu also asked about the matter-

"What's wrong?"

"The final step of the trial ritual requires mastering the Inquisitor's divine art, the Light of Judgment. But I never learned. Herelli scratched her hair in annoyance, "I even bothered Lord Venia to help, but Lord Vignia said that I had enough faith, but not enough skill to pass." ”

"Why don't you have the skills?" Zhou Lu asked, "Is it because it's difficult?" ”

"That's why people are so distressed," said Herrely, "and I'm so stupid......

Zhou Lu didn't know how to comfort her: "No, ......"

"If I can't get to the next level, I'm going to go back over there," Herelli said, "and I'll go to the library at HQ and find some materials to study again." I guess it's going to be something to gain. ”

Zhou Lu was taken aback: "You want to go back?" ”

"It's only temporary." Herelli said, "I'll be able to bring some fire-streaked entriches when the time comes." It's the most famous snack in our hometown. ”

"Oh...... Then come on," Zhou Lu said, "But speaking of which, there are also delicious things on our earth, so today I will take you to taste some things that you can't eat on weekdays in the base." ”

This time she came out with her wallet, and Zhou Lu took Herelli into a cold drink shop. Desserts have a very obvious killing effect on girls everywhere, and eating ice cream on the earth, Herelli also became happy and began to discuss other issues with Zhou Lu.

Herelli wanted to return a few props that Zhou Lu gave her back, but Zhou Lu said that it didn't matter, anyway, she had recently gotten a new magic ring, and she didn't need those props to assist at all. After coming out of the cold drink shop, the two went shopping elsewhere again. However, after seeing a charred building that was sealed off after a 'terrorist attack', Zhou Lu couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Back at the base, Qin Yue was busy organizing some instrument handling, and Zhou Lu followed Herelli to her usual cultivation place.

The church profession is no different from other worlds, but as part of cultivation, the church is also very necessary. In the office building on the ground, a small church was illegally converted by Zhou Heng; And some of the activities of the church forces on weekdays will also be carried out in that place. Here, there are several Church Divine Deduction Magic Arrays.

This kind of magic circle is a unique learning prop of the church, which can simulate the operation and use of a magic magic in a magic circle. It was originally the most advanced research result of the otherworldly magic civilization, but now with Zhou Heng's help to do some modifications, the effect is even more unexpectedly good.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Zhou Lu accompanied Herelli to study these things. The way of learning otherworldly magic is still very complicated, and the things that need to be memorized are secondary, and the things related to various beliefs and magic are the headaches. However, Zhou Lu is quite good at learning, because she wants to help Herelli, so she follows her and watches; After staying for a while, I really understood something. Although Herelli worked hard, she was not very talented in this area; After staying for a long time, Zhou Lu really taught some things.

And this day, just like that, passed. Starting the next day, Zhou Lu resumed his old life; Train with Qin Yue every day, and go to study magic with Herelli when he has free time; Because he has been studying this aspect all day long, Zhou Lu also gained some inspiration from the magic of the other world when he accompanied Herelli to learn divine arts; There is a vague idea of being able to use the magic of the other world to improve the way he fights, but he has never been able to grasp the point. And just like that, two days passed.

Two days later. Zhou Lu received another task. And this time the enemy. Finally, there was some trouble - this time the enemy was a fourth-strength monster.

Because there has been an invincible enemy. The local executor forces began to send distress signals to the Institute. The location of the battle is in the United States - the distance is a bit far, but Zhou Heng has recently been equipped with some short-distance space transfer instruments around the world, which can transmit combat power to some fixed nodes in a short time; The location of this incident happened just near a spatial transfer node, so it only took Zhou Lu a few minutes to arrive directly at the scene.

When entering the spiritual realm, Zhou Lu happened to see a huge snake-shaped head poking out from the back of a building.

This giant snake was a fourth-level strength monster, and before that, Zhou Lu had never encountered a monster of similar strength. A monster of level 4 strength. Actually, it's not very common. But even so, as soon as he entered, Zhou Lu said to the others:

"I'll give the monster this time, just watch it."

"But......" said a few members of the executive department next to him, "this monster is very dangerous, and there are no instructions to fight alone." ”

"It's okay." Zhou Lu said, "There's no indication that you can't fight alone, right?" I'm in charge of this operation, and you'll listen to me. ”

Herelli, who came next to her, also said, "Sister Qin will be angry if she finds out." ”

"No, it won't." Zhou Lu said, putting on the magic girl's magic necklace, "Anyway." Leave it to me."

After completing the transformation, Zhou Lu jumped up. Flew into the sky. The giant snake was chasing and killing several people from the National Security Bureau, and when he saw Zhou Lu flying up, he turned his head and bit Zhou Lu with a bite. And Zhou Lu didn't dodge or dodge, and when he met, it was a 'shattered starry sky', and he actually repelled the head of the giant snake.

The serpent didn't expect that this little girl would have so much power in her hands, and that she would be able to repel it from the front; In addition to the accident, there was no immediate response; And the next series of attacks beckoned to its face like this - balls of light, chains, meteors, and energy waves, even if the giant snake's defense was amazing, it was defeated and retreated.

After a few days of training, Zhou Lu has mastered these magic very proficiently; The wand in his hand swung rapidly, and the dazzling magic was used one after another. The size of the giant snake is dozens or even hundreds of times that of Zhou Lu, but at this moment, it was beaten by Zhou Lu and had no power to fight back. The group of executive members and foreigners below were stunned, and the monster who was still showing off his might a moment ago was actually suppressed by Zhou Lu, a girl.

However, Zhou Lu understands that this way of fighting is actually not the best way.

In actual combat, it is not always possible to deal damage to the enemy just by attacking. In a battle of equal strength, it is much more beneficial to use an attack as a diversion than to suppress; When one side presses the other side down, it also makes the opponent concentrate on defense, thus reducing the effectiveness of the attack. Zhou Lu's style of fighting when he meets, although he successfully suppressed the enemy in a short period of time, the effect cannot be too significant; If Zhou Lu's strength really far exceeds this enemy, there will naturally be no problem, but in fact, the difference between her and this monster is not very big.

Before the monster had done any substantial damage, her own magic was a little insufficient.

However, Zhou Lu naturally has a backhand. After a 'Nebula Typhoon' knocked the enemy back, Zhou Lu suddenly retreated, and the clothes on his body changed into a black magic dress.

Under Zhou Lu's deliberate control, the magic power in the magic necklace was quickly squandered; Taking advantage of the other party's lack of reaction, Zhou Lu successfully completed the costume change and changed into another set of magical girl costumes.

Compared with the magic necklace, Zhou Lu is not particularly familiar with this newly obtained ring. However, despite doubling its mana, the serpent quickly couldn't hold on and finally revealed its flaws.

The situation of beating the master to death with random punches is probably like this. Zhou Lu's sudden burst of power exceeded the capacity of the giant snake, and the new magic dress became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Under the fierce attack, the monster was finally hit head-on by a meteorite of 'Starfall Rain', and the violent explosion smashed it to the roof of the building on the side, and lost the ability to resist for a while. Zhou Lu's eyes were quick, he took out the laser sword, turned on the switch, and landed directly from mid-air. A sword plunged into the monster's head.

A group of foreigners below couldn't help but cheer. Zhou Lu had just landed. They swarmed around, and they forgot even about dealing with the scene and closing the spiritual realm. Zhou Lu could probably understand some of their words, and in the praise of "Miss, you are awesome" and "worthy of being from the headquarters", Zhou Lu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly left with Herelli.

"How?" On the way, Zhou Lu asked Herelli, "Isn't it amazing?" ”

"Indeed......" Herelli nodded, "I didn't expect Zhou Lu to defeat a fourth-level strength monster at all." We probably haven't dealt with monsters of this strength before, right? ”

"After reaching a certain level of strength, the enemy's combat method is not very important." Zhou Lu said, "But it still doesn't feel very comfortable." Although it's also a magical girl's magic costume, there seems to be some differences in the way the two powers are used. ”

"Is there one?" Harelli said, "I think that sounds amazing......"

"The enemy is too heavy to fight me head-on, and this monster seems to be underdog, so I can win so quickly." Zhou Lu said, "Actually, what I care more about is the time to switch magic clothes, and I have almost no defenses during that time." ”

"Huh?" Herelli was stunned for a moment, "It feels like the switch is completed in the blink of an eye......"

"Although quickly. But dealing with agile enemies may lead to some trouble. Zhou Lu shrugged. Looks like I'd better think of something else...... By the way, Herelli, would you like to try this magic ring? ”

"Don't, don't." Herelli shook her head quickly, "It's enough to have those props from last time." ”

"Alright then, do you still want to learn magic later? I've got you covered. ”

"Well, thank you very much."

The two chatted, and they were ready to continue studying the magic as before. Although Zhou Heng once told her about the principle of superpowers, Zhou Lu is still more interested in strengthening existing skills than new abilities; Recently, she found some clues from the divine art to strengthen her skills, although it was not clear, but Zhou Lu still devoted more and more time to this aspect. But today, before Zhou Lu came to the branch of the church, he suddenly received a contact from Zhou Heng, saying that he was looking for him.

"I've read your battle log again."

came to the research institute, and Zhou Heng said straight to the point the reason why he called Zhou Lu back.

Zhou Lu grinned and complained: "I always look at other people's battle records......"

"It's not a bad thing." Zhou Heng said, and said excitedly, "This time I made a big discovery!" ”

"I don't think I gave you the contact, did I? How did you get my battle information? Zhou Lu continued to ask, "I feel that my brother is getting more and more perverted." ”

"Don't worry about this kind of thing." Zhou Heng waved his hand, "In this battle, you used the power of two magical girls, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Because it is necessary to realize the fit of the two transformations in actual combat. ”

"That's right." Zhou Heng said, "Then you should have almost used up the magic power of the first transformation demon costume, right?" ”

"Well, basically run out of ......"

"What about the magic of the second transformation costume?"

"Didn't run out...... About half. Zhou Lu said, "Before I used much force, the enemy had already been destroyed." But I think the biggest problem is when I switch abilities, and I feel that it is still a bit dangerous during that time. On the contrary, it is the total amount of energy, so you shouldn't need to worry too much about it when you use the two magic suits alternately. ”

Since his brother didn't actually know much about combat, Zhou Lu explained these combat things to him. However, Zhou Heng's focus was obviously not on this aspect, he waved his hand and said:

"It's good for you to see what you can do, and this time I'm calling you here mainly to explain another thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I still remember what I told you last time, the energy for your battle is actually provided by the transformation instrument in the real yàn room."

"I remember."

"That's right." Zhou Heng said, "Do you know, when you fought with the two magic suits today, the magic power wasted was the same. But you're using the Magic Necklace significantly more often, so I'm guessing that your Magic Necklace uses energy more efficiently than that Magic Ring. ”

"More efficient?" Zhou Lu didn't react for a while, "Why?" ”

Zhou Heng spread his hands: "I don't know." ”

"Are you saying I wasted a lot of energy with the Magic Ring?" Zhou Lu guessed, "Maybe it's because I'm not very skilled in using the magic ring, so I ......."

"That's not the reason." Zhou Heng said directly, "Although different types of superpowers have different requirements for users, there shouldn't be much to do with the energy efficiency of your ability and the user's proficiency. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Lu thought for a while and said, "Could it be that this necklace is better in this regard?" ”

"It's possible, but it's not likely. Your necklace and ring are not from the same world, but they are from a similar parallel world. According to common sense, there should not be much difference between zài. Zhou Heng said, "In other words, as long as you can use it, the magic used by your two magic costumes is originally qualitative." The problem with the differences is certainly in them. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"Remember last time, right?" Zhou Heng said, "Last time, I verified that your necklace can fight against the phenomenon of rule rejection, and I think it should have something to do with it." (To be continued......)
