[No. 9227, No. 9230, congratulations on solving the mystery of the plane.] Solving the mystery of the plane for the first time rewards 10 Ainos silver coins, 5 stone medals, and 50 merit points. 】

[No. 9227, No. 9230, your actions have caused unpredictable changes in the fate of the plane, the main quest 2 has been cancelled, and the main quest 2 rewards have been cancelled.] After completing the main quest one, you will return to the end. 】

Illusions of information released by the Ring of the Gods kept popping up in front of Aluka and Xinon, and after reading it, Xinon hesitated and said, "Aluca, should we ......?"

Aluka nodded and stood up, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, thinking to herself that she was still not mature enough. Xinong was also sad in his heart, but he could still remember the business. Although ruthless may not be really heroic, how can a poor son not be a husband, but a responsible person must not let his emotions run rampant, it is just a selfish act. You can give for your friends and work hard for your loved ones, but you can't be decadent because you can't save them, that's called letting down.

"If the conversion of silver to copper coins is the same as in the Overworld, then the reward for solving the mystery of the plane is ten times the amount of completing the main quest. In other words, solving the mystery of the plane is what the gods want to see the most, but why?" Aluca looked at the message that popped up from the Ring of the Gods, and muttered to herself, "The Ring of the Gods thinks that we have solved the mystery of the plane, but we only defeated the molten elves, is the Secret Treasure of Ainos the mystery of the plane, or is the mystery of the plane the mystery of Ainos itself......"

Sinon interrupted Aluca's thoughts and said, "Let's focus on the matter in front of us, and see what the secret treasure left behind by Ainos is." ”

Aluka came back to her senses and said, "I already know what it is, the secret treasure should be the Scepter of Fire, pay attention to the charcoal pen that was placed on the altar before." The gods should have thought left when they studied the secrets here, this charcoal pen is not used to write things at all, it is a treasure in itself. ”

It's called darkness under the lamp, and even knowing that charcoal is an Ainos treasure is useless. Its power was sealed into a rock, and it was only then that the molten spirit was formed. Only by defeating the molten elves and freeing their power can the Scepter of Fire be restored to its original form.

At this time, charcoal can no longer be called charcoal, nor can it be called a scepter, it is more appropriate to call it a burning stick. It turned into a thick, long black stick topped with a coal-like stone...... Or is it a gem?, at least in Aluca's imagination, the staff should be set with gems, not lumps of coal......

He walked over and picked up the burning stick, and the Ring of the Gods popped up again.

[Name: Scepter of Fire.]

Type: Weapon.

Quality: Rare.

Power: Very low.

Equipment requirements: 10 stamina, 10 strength.

Weapon Trait 1: The wielder can comprehend the magic "Fireball Technique" from the Scepter of Fire, which requires an intelligence of 15.

Weapon Trait 2: Holders who have mastered the spell "Fireball Technique" will have a chance to instantly fire the "Essence Fireball" once every 24 hours.

Description: Flame is the source of civilization. In order to bring human civilization, the God of Wisdom stole the seed of fire from the god of fire and brought it to the world, teaching humans how to manipulate fire. To punish the God of Wisdom for stealing, the Council of Creation sentenced the God of Wisdom to guard the Great Kitchen of the Flaming Mountain for 10,000 years for the God of Fire. After the punishment was over, the god of wisdom stole the tools he used to work in the kitchen...... Now, this tool is known as the Scepter of Fire. 】

That is...... Burn, Fire, Stick!" Aluka slammed the Scepter of Fire against the altar, "It's not such a fool, is it! What kind of plane mystery is this? And isn't this the thief of the God of Wisdom who got away from the God of Fire? What does this have to do with the plane?"

"Calm down! Calm down!" said Xinong, who was distressed to see what if he smashed the Scepter of Fire, which was bought with the blood of a martyr......

"Their lives are in exchange for such a thing?!" Arouca struggled to control his emotions, "You can take it and see it." ”

After taking it, Xinon looked at the appraisal results of the Ring of the Gods, shook his head and said that he couldn't use it, and said to Aluca: "We got a gift from Ainos before, and all attributes have increased by 5 points, you can just comprehend the fireball technique, try it." I haven't seen the power of magic yet, and judging by the difficulty of this task, it shouldn't be bad. ”

That's the only way to go. Aluka picked up the Scepter of Fire and focused his spirit on it, which was the method of comprehension he had speculated. Unsurprisingly, he found himself in the dark. This darkness is like the white light between the ends, there is no sky, no earth, no distinction between east, south, north, west, and north, and only the night that sweeps in all directions.

While he was confused, a little starlight suddenly lit up in the night. From this point of starlight, a ray of light quickly extended, connecting with another point of starlight that had just lit up. Then, two points of starlight extend out at the same time, two to four, four to eight...... Soon, a three-dimensional frame of starlight and light appeared in front of Aluca, much like a building called the Bird's Nest that he remembered. After a moment, the dotted frame disappears and changes again from a little starlight.

"It's ...... The structure of magic?" Aruka muttered to herself. A warm current flowed between his eyebrows, and he found that he could mobilize this warm current in his consciousness, and was able to manipulate it to form the same dotted and linear framework as he saw it.

"In other words, I need to use the power in my mind, according to the sequence and structure of what I see in front of me, to create the magic of fireball? ”

After receiving the gift of Ainos and getting the luxurious reward of +5 for all attributes, Aluka clearly felt the improvement of his ability. Physical sensations are most pronounced, muscles are more powerful, reflexes are faster, and memory, thinking and observation are improved. He memorized pi silently, he could only memorize more than a dozen digits, but now he had memorized more than thirty digits without any hindrance, and he had no impression of the numbers after the dozen digits before. If he had this kind of memory in his previous life, why wouldn't he be able to go to Bei Mouqing?

It seems that the hardest part of learning magic is memorizing the structure of magic. Fireball sounds like a very basic magic, with dozens of dots and more lines in the structure. If every release requires the construction of magic in the mind, it is indeed a hard requirement for one's memory and thinking speed.

Ordinary people must have started trying to construct a fireball technique right away, but Aruka was not in a hurry. Ignoring the order of starlight and the development of light, he forcibly constructed the magical structure of the fireball technique according to what he saw in front of him, and tried to see if the construction of magic had anything to do with Shunshu. His idea comes from Chinese characters, and the strokes do not affect the meaning of a word, but if you write the wrong strokes, others will think that you are uneducated, and Aluca's skin is thick enough to be painless.

As a result, he was very disappointed, and the magical structure that he had spent a long time constructing did not respond, like a tofu scum project standing in his mind, mocking the intelligence of the construction personnel. In desperation, Aluca struggled to remember in what order the final structure was formed, starting from the first point.

Ten minutes later, Aruka finally succeeded in constructing the fireball technique with barely passing intelligence. The moment the magical structure took shape, an orange-yellow fireball appeared from Aluca's hand, the size of an adult's head. The light of the fire on the outside is light gold, and the inside is red, and it looks like the inside is a little stronger, but Aruka knows that the light flame is the hottest.

The night world vanished, and Aluka returned to reality, still holding the fireball she had just released in her hand, and Sinon staring at him without blinking.

Aluka asked, "How long did it take me to comprehend this spell?"

Sinong replied, "I saw you stunned for a moment, and then a fireball came out of your hand. ”

I see, it seems that the speed of time in the night world is different from that of the outside world. Aluka knew what to expect, and told Sinon about building a world of magic and night. After hearing this, Xinon sighed regretfully, saying that with his own intelligence, he was afraid that he would not be able to touch a working magic for a long time.

"I don't know how long this fireball will last, why don't you try using it to blast the rocks blocking the entrance to the cave?"

Xinon smiled bitterly, "Don't overkill, brother. Teacher, their death is not your fault, you can do what you think you should do, you don't have to ask my opinion. If your behavior is too dangerous, I will naturally warn you. ”

Aluca was silent for a moment, then replied, "I must kill the Blood God Priest." ”

"There is no doubt about it. After killing him, let's bury the teacher and them first. ”

Aluca nodded in agreement, sad. He doesn't know, but he believes that both Henry and Jofa hope that the bones can be buried in their hometown, and that they will continue to fight for the main god of their faith after death. This is one of the things that every Overworld believer cares about the most, and I am afraid that it will not be possible now.

――

Then the question arises again, the fireball technique was successfully released, but how to use it? In the magic works that Aluka has seen in the past, the fireball technique is released and flies straight towards the target, why does this fireball stay in his hand?

"This thing...... It can't be a grenade, right?"

"What's a grenade?"

"It's a weapon in my hometown that explodes when hit, so it's used to throw it out and attack the enemy. Don't ask me how it works, I don't know. ”

"Uh...... You mean this fireball is going to explode, so we'd better back off. ”

Aluka and Sinong glanced at each other and took a few steps back. Aluka was about to throw, but Sinon suddenly interrupted him and asked, "How far can you throw?"

"I haven't thrown it again, how do I know. ”

"Let's retreat to the innermost part of the cave, be careful. ”

It seems that Xinon is still looking forward to the power of the fireball technique. The two retreated to the depths of the cave, with the cold rocks behind them, and then Aruka made a half-baseball pitcher motion and threw the fireball out with all his might. An orange-yellow fireball streaked across a sleek parabola and slammed into the rocks that stood in the way.

Rumble!!!

Like thunder ringing in his ears, Aluca's ears were buzzing, and he fell into temporary deafness. And before that, the dazzling light took over his field of vision, turning him into a deaf and blind disabled person. Storms, rubble, and shockwaves slammed into him and Xinon, sending them flying and crashing into the rocks behind them, screaming in pain, but unable to hear his own voice.

"This ...... Is this a suicide weapon?"
