Section 9 The Difference Between an Architect and a Magician

Mei Lufa, who came out of the bathroom, regained her beautiful little face, the only pity was the tasteless pair of heavy glasses on her face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Judging from the thickness of the lens, Mei Lufa's myopia seems to be quite deep.

"I'm going to get something ready first, and you can sit down as you please. ”

Although Mei Lufa said so, there was really no place in the entire hall where she could sit. So Alicia and Melissa could only lean against the wall for the time being, watching the little thing with short pink hair scurrying around in front of them. Merus pulled out a giant brown backpack out of nowhere and began to stuff various things into it.

After a brief period of observation, Alicia came to the conclusion that Melua seemed to have taken the trip as a hike. Otherwise, how could she even put a picnic box in it?

"Melufa, just take the necessary things. Alicia reminded.

"Well, I did only take what was necessary. Melufa's answer was quite innocent. It seems that her definition of "necessary" is fundamentally different from Alicia's.

Too lazy to care, Alicia looked up boredly, and she craned her neck to look at the bookshelves lined up next to the entire wall and the clock-shaped magic circle that turned on the roof.

"It's so big~" Alicia just raised her head and sighed, because it was not smooth to pronounce with this action, so her tail note dragged on for a long time, "The outside looks like a building that is too lazy to build halfway through, how can there be such a large space inside?"

"You're right, this stone tower is only half built. Meleva said to Alicia as she packed her bags.

"Huh, what do you say?"

"The Sage felt that it would take too much time to complete the entire tower according to his original idea, so he applied a permanent spatial magic to the tower after creating only the most necessary space. "Whenever Merus speaks of the sage's affairs, her eyes seem to glow faintly.

"Spatial magic?~ That's why the space inside is much larger than the outside!" Alicia tilted her head and looked at the magic array above her head, and intuitively felt that the magic of this space expansion should be related to that thing, "Anyway, this sage is really lazy, why don't you just use magic to build a tower...... Uh-a-a

"Drink some water. "The worried Mei Lufa took a test tube, for Mao is a test tube??

"Ahem, what kind of water is this?" asked Alicia uneasily, a little timid as she thought of the explosion before.

"It's just ordinary water, we don't have a cup for guests here, so you can take this and you're done." ”

“...... Oh. Taking the test tube, Alicia took a sip cautiously, and after confirming that it was the taste of water, she drank it boldly and confidently.

"Melufa, are you sure this is a clean test tube?" Melissa asked with some unease as she looked at Alicia holding the test tube to drink water without any scruples.

"Well, it's clean...... It seems to have been used to store the saliva of the jade toad before. Don't worry, I've washed it. ”

"......" Alicia then ran into the bathroom with a blue face.

After coming out with a disgusting expression, Alicia really wanted to beat up this little thing, but because she had to ask her to help later, it was not easy to do it now.

"There is a contradiction in what you just said. Mei Lufa was pressing a thick book into her already bulging backpack at this time, how much did she have with her? What was this book for?

"Magic cannot build matter out of thin air, magic can only be used to power the invisible Mana, and it cannot summon the tangible. Summoning may be an exception, but I've never heard of a summoning spell that summons a tower or a house. Melus began to say something incomprehensible, "There must be a cause before there is an effect." Even alchemical magic is only barter, and it cannot create matter out of thin air. So, just as you can never make gold with magic, you can't make a tower out of magic. ”

Alicia was a little dizzy when she heard this, but she also knew that if magic was such a convenient thing, she would have studied it a long time ago. Not for anything else, just to be able to conjure gold coins anytime and anywhere.

"Anyway, you have to build a part to use magic to expand the space inside, don't you mean?" said Alicia.

"Well, that's right. Melova affirmed.

"That magic is still so much more convenient. ”

"That's not what I said. Meleva finally zipped up her backpack at this time, and both Alicia and Melissa were afraid that so many things would burst the zipper at any time, "The Sage just took the most efficient action in his own field. ”

"Well, what does that mean?" said Alicia, why do magicians like to say things that people don't understand at once?

"Actually, it takes a lot of time, energy, and materials to complete this permanent magic. It can be said that if you find someone who is good at building, it will take the same amount of time to build the tower as you feel now, and it will take you the same time to achieve this effect as it does with magic. It's just that the Sage is not good at architecture, so he chose magic, which you usually find troublesome. ”

Alicia collapsed on Melissa in prostration, saying:

"Melissa help me, I'm feeling dizzy, am I seriously ill?"

Melissa also pretended to be dizzy after hearing this, took a few steps, and said:

"If it is, then the disease must be contagious. ”

Seeing the two of them joking, Mei Lufa grinned and put the Big Mac's backpack on her shoulder. Damn, this backpack is twice as big as Melevia's, which makes people feel a bit exaggerated.

"Melufa...... Are you really sure you have to carry so many things out?" Melissa was a little worried, if there were three people sitting on the horse later, would it be overloaded?

"Be prepared, can we go?"

So, Melissa was ready to set off with this huge backpack in high spirits, but she was stuck in the door......

Alicia and Melissa really had to work hard to push Meleva out, to be exact, because of the last kick Alicia had given her......

When she went out, she put a note on the door that read:

Sage Lord,

I have something to do with Fairmoreland, I'll be back on my own, don't worry!

P.S. I haven't finished my homework yet, can I come back and make up for it?

P.S. The vase in your room was broken when I was cleaning the room, woo, I'm sorry~

Melufa

1201 Ha Month 27 Night

At this time, it was already in the sky, and Meleva looked at the stone tower towering under the starry sky, made a farewell expression, and walked towards Alicia and Melissa, who were already on the horse.

Melissa was still sitting in the seat of the horse, and at this time she was showing a very worried expression, and asked:

"Don't you really need to let go of anything more?"

"It's okay!" said Melufa, shaking the huge backpack and straightening it.

Shaking her head helplessly, Melissa motioned for Melissa to get on the horse. And because Mei Lufa was too short and carried such a bulky backpack, she stepped on it many times before she finally stepped on the stirrups. With Alicia's support, she finally jumped on the horse, but the ensuing shaking made her center of gravity unstable and she fell backwards, so frightened that Alicia quickly pulled her back by the collar.

Fortunately, Melissa's family had a sturdy horse, and the three girls were so slender that they could barely sit on the same horse.

"Sit tight!" "Melissa didn't kick the horse in the belly as she did at Fermoran, otherwise Melissa would have been thrown to the ground without question.

As soon as the four creatures (three men and one horse) entered the forest, Melissa shouted at Meleva, who was one position away from her:

"How are we going to get out of this forest?"

Thinking of the strange phenomena encountered in this forest during the day, it was only natural that Melissa would ask such a question. But Mei Lufa was stunned for a moment, and replied in a daze:

"Just get out. ”

"But isn't this forest magical?"

"Oh, I see. Seeing that the horse's speed was slowing, Melufa began to explain, "The magic of this forest is set to activate when you want to enter and turn off when you go out. ”

"Wow, that's smart!" Alicia didn't understand the principles of the various magics, but was shocked by their magic. Is it because all magic is so powerful, or is it because the person who uses it is a sage?

"That's great, it's a bit of a hassle if we look for those markings again. Melissa said smutteringly.

Unexpectedly, when Mei Lufa heard this, she was a little surprised and said:

"What? you say marking??"

"Well, yes, weren't those markers deliberately placed there to help people crack the maze?"

"Uh......"

Alicia looked at Meleva behind her, well, why did she have such a strange expression, as if something embarrassing had happened.

"Actually......" said Mei Lufa, a little shy, a little embarrassed, "I made those marks." ”

"So what?" Alicia thought that if the sage had asked her to put the markings, it would have been a matter of course.

"Actually...... Those markers...... ...... hiding in those places to prevent myself from getting lost."

"Huh?" Alicia was puzzled.

"The Sage is a man who likes mazes very much, so he doesn't have such an obvious hint of his own labyrinth setting. Even though the Sage had told me the order of the paths, I couldn't remember them every time, and I got lost in the forest every time. So I used my magic to make some markings......"

I see, and now Alicia has figured out why those words are hidden in some inconspicuous place, because they are not a hint to solve the maze, but a way for Melus to remind herself. Indeed, as long as you have a preliminary understanding of magic, or know some basic backgrounds of the five elves, you will easily come up with an answer when you see these words, and Mei Lufa is just using this method to help herself find her way.

"Cut, I thought I had cracked the maze of the sages, and I said with pride. Alicia was a little disappointed, it turned out that what she cracked didn't even count as a hint.

"Yes, I'm sorry......" Melufa's face flushed.

"Haha, in that case, let's hurry up, drive!" Melissa whipped her whip, and the horses began to gallop again, galloping towards Fermoran in the gentle night.
