Chapter 12: If you can't learn magic, die
"By the way, this fog is really thick, is this really fog?"
The elf on my shoulder still didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the other side, still angry with me......
"Anyway, there's a really big space in here, and after walking for a few minutes, I haven't seen any changes on the ground."
The surrounding land is green, not the verdant color of the plants, but like the mud at the bottom of the river, with a sticky and dirty feeling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I looked at my left hand, and there was a mass of water vapor in the palm of my hand, condensed into a small ball floating in the palm of my hand, emitting a blinding light.
"That's magic......"
"Imp, this is far from magic."
Ellie finally said something, though she still didn't look back at me.
"How did the magic come about?"
"Let the magic flow according to the trajectory of the spell, it's magic"
"Hey, it's that simple."
"Well, that's the principle, simple magic spells are also simple, complex magic spells will be very large and difficult to control, and there are many critical points to master......"
As the little one spoke, he finally seemed to calm down.
Whew—I breathed a sigh of relief, too.
"It's not time to breathe a sigh of relief."
Ellie's voice sounded serious.
"Now that you've entered the core of the game, you won't be able to get out if you don't end the game."
"Do you have to defeat that thing......
Honestly, I really don't want to see that thing anymore.
"Look at your legs, kids"
I looked down, and the dark green marks were getting more and more and taller.
"You'll only have about a few dozen minutes left."
"Am I going to die?"
Ellie stared back at me, expressionless, or rather rather fierce......
"You're just going to be a part of the game"
"Forget it, I don't plan to die here, and I don't plan to live here for the rest of my life."
"If you can't learn magic, die"
Elle said this viciously, but it seemed that the situation I was facing now was so embarrassing.
"Is there any super powerful magic that can just snap and drop that thing?"
"Poof"
Ellie almost burst out laughing.
"Don't be arrogant, little ghost, just your little magic, don't think about it, even if you can put a powerful spell, it must be restricted by the environment, don't forget that this is the domain of the game master"
As she spoke, she pointed to the light in my palm.
"The Charm of Light has a wide range, and if it is released at night when the air is clear, it can be seen from several kilometers away like a lighthouse."
In this case, this 'field' is indeed a very powerful thing, because I can only see about two meters in front of me, and beyond that, there is a wall of fog like dust.
"So what can I learn?"
"Uh...... Since the medium is me, it should be slightly quicker to learn the magic of fire."
"Sounds like you can use any other magic?"
"Clam, that's for sure, worship me, little ghost, I'm proficient in all elven magic"
"Elle-sama is really amazing"
Praise her twice, if she keeps a straight face, I won't feel good.
"By the way, little ghost, where are you going?"
I've been on the go since just now, don't you realize it now?
"The direction in which that thing fled just now"
"Uh-huh, how do you know you're not wrong in such a fog?"
"Qiang Qiang Qiang"
I took my phone out and it had the compass app on it......
"The power of technology!"
"Ho ho!
"Well, I'm almost able to defeat the magic of that thing now."
"Uh......"
Elle cupped her chin in her hand and thought thoughtfully.
"It doesn't seem to be."
"Huh?"
"I don't think there's any magic you can use."
"Hey, don't be so straightforward if you say no."
"If you can win the magic of the opposite side, you really can't use your magic power"
"So what can I learn with my magic?"
"Uh......" the little guy counted on his fingers one by one, "the magic of peeling apples, the magic of omelettes, the magic of wiping tables, the magic of drying wet clothes quickly......"
"You're kidding me, and why are they all related to home kitchens and bathrooms?"
"Because you're good at it."
"Oh, that's surprisingly convincing...... Oh no! Look at the current situation, what's the use of magic to dry wet clothes!"
"If I want to use any kind of magic, can I really use what kind of magic?"
"Uh...... If you don't know the spell, of course you can't."
"How can I know the incantation?"
"Well, just ask me directly, our ceremony just now is permanent......
At this, Ellie became crying again.
Syllable!
I got another slap in the face.
"It's all your fault!
Uh, now that I can't get angry at all, I dropped Elle off my shoulders and held her in my arms.
Ellie grabbed my clothes with one hand, buried her face in my chest, and sobbed.
It seems to be a very, very important ritual for her, otherwise she wouldn't care about it like that.
Although I don't know what the culture of these elves is like, if someone robs me of my living expenses for next month, I will probably be as crippled as Ellie.
Mmmm, I nodded, Ellie's mood, I can completely understand it.
In other words, this feeling of understanding comes a little more directly, and it can be said that it is more direct than before, as if it is directly generated in the head.
I was wondering, when suddenly a paw swept across the front.
The monster's body didn't appear in front of me, it just swept its arms along with its claws, thus lengthening the distance between me and it and making it easier for me to dodge.
I hugged Ellie tightly with my right hand, and only crouched down as I watched the dark green thing as thick as a tree trunk sweep in front of me.
I could even feel the roar of the air as its arms swept over my head.
Knock knock knock...... It couldn't sneak up, and the footsteps were getting farther and farther away from me.
"Aren't you afraid, little ghost?"
Ellie curled up in my arms.
"Unexpectedly not as scared as I thought"
To be honest, I don't really feel about this game yet, even though I know that if I get hit just now, I will definitely break eight ribs and die instantly, but I really can't be afraid at all.
My heart was pounding, but I knew it was just activating the magic, and although my legs were a little trembling, I knew it was just a little disobedient because of the erosion of the realm.
Although cold sweat broke out in my palms, I felt a chill in my vest...... I'm still scared of that.
"Why is Elle scared?"
I shifted the conversation away from myself and walked slowly and step by step in the direction the monster had just fled.
"How could I be afraid, how could I, Lord Ellie, be afraid"
But I could feel that she was indeed shaking.
"Huh, are you cold?"
The little one stopped talking, just buried his head in my chest.
I put Elle down, took off my coat, wrapped it around Elle's body, and then picked her up again and hid her in my arms.
Because I'm much taller than Ellie, when she curls up, my coat covers Elle's head and protects Elle's bare little feet.
Although it is just a thin layer of sweatshirt like a school uniform, it should be much better than nothing.
"Well, it's much better......"
Little guy, if you're so unstraightforward, just say cold.
"Xiaoqing's clothes...... It was warm"
Ellie staggered, her voice so small she could barely be heard.
"That's great"
I shuddered as I spoke, I see, I can't resist wearing only a T-shirt.
It was precisely because she was in the field of dense fog that Ellie's light and fluttering dress couldn't withstand the cold.
Anyway, this doesn't seem to be cold, but the erosion of magic.
Gotta hurry, gotta end this game before getting frozen.
