In the end, Lyle failed to poach the neighbor's beautiful and capable maid, not because he didn't have enough gold coins, nor because the relationship between the neighbor's master and servant was strong, but simply because the change in the world made everyone uneasy, and he preferred to live in a familiar environment than to treat the maid better.

Well, this also indirectly alleviates a wave of premarital conflicts, after all, the elves are a race that lives most of the time in a secluded forest, and the concept of monogamy is indestructible, and it is difficult to accept someone's fanatical love for a maid who is on the verge of cheating.

"Lyle, ancient magic is too difficult to learn~!" Forgetting for a moment that there are still two bombs lurking at home, Fili is tired of being by her boyfriend's side again.

Despite her natural aptitude, she knew she couldn't keep up with Lyle's pace, but she still worked hard...... Oh, in fact, her magical attainments have surpassed those of elves of the same age, and she is definitely not a congenital disability that has to be the tail of a crane under the guidance of a famous teacher.

"The ancients are in the same vein as us, and they have never been separated." Lyle patted his girlfriend's head and comforted, "So, regardless of the parts that have lost their value due to the changes of the times, do you think that in the process of inheritance, what is lost first is the content that is easy to learn or the obscure content?" ”

“…… Difficult. Fili breathed a sigh of relief, with only the genius of Lyle as a reference by her side, she could not judge the difficulty of learning ancient magic and the learning speed of ordinary people.

Lyle nodded, his gaze fell back on the ancient magic book in his hand, and continued, "Besides, the most important part of the inheritance is missing, which will also affect the learning effect. ”

Fili, who had been with Lyle for many years, knew what she was referring to as soon as she heard it, and asked, "Does this refer to the 'principles of magic'?" ”

At present, the magic that can be patted on the chest and say "the principle is clear" is extremely superficial magic, such as the "magic missile" that directly condenses the magic power and throws it, such as the "illumination technique" that gathers the magic power after activation, and the "mage hand" that uses the magic power to seep out of the body to form pressure.

But the more complicated magic is all confusing "previous experience", the most typical is summoning magic. First of all, it is necessary to complete the contract with some kind of being, forming an almost curse-like coercive bond, which involves the realm of soul magic, and then it is necessary to transfer the monster of the contract from other places to the present, which involves the realm of space magic.

Don't look at Lyle's invention of bee-based weapons related to summoning magic, beekeepers can summon bees when they cut down on enemies, bees can be summoned by arrows shot by bee lacquer bows, and bees can be summoned by bee grenade explosions, he can't tell the principle, but he just modified the original summoning magic array and engraved it on the weapon.

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the ancients did not know the principles of magic, after all, the ancients were the subjects of Cthulhu's experiments, and the so-called 'magic' may be the knowledge that Cthulhu taught the ancients, and it will not be taught from the roots." Lyle's expression was a little tangled, "But from another point of view, Cthulhu will not teach everything intimately, the ancients should at least have a system for developing magic." ”

"Uh...... Is there any difference between the two? Fili tilted her head.

"There are some things that are the laws of this world, and there will never be an answer to the question of why," the minimum threshold for an answer is the Unified Language (GODO), which is the language used by the reincarnated gods, and when a person can decipher GODO, he has already left the realm of mortals, either becoming a boundary-breaker wandering around in the infinite dimension, or becoming an oracle of a true god, "Some things are manifestations based on the laws of the world, and in fact, you can dig a little deeper." ”

“？？？”

Looking at his girlfriend's increasingly dazed expression, Lyle could only sigh lightly and give a down-to-earth explanation: "For example, the reason why we are able to use magic is because we can generate magic, and there is an argument that magic comes from the body and produces energy when the nutrients in the body are decomposed. ”

Fili raised her hand and said, "I know, I know, another argument is that magic comes from the soul. ”

"I personally support the latter." Although many of Lyle's whimsical ideas of 'epiphany' since childhood are not used, he has always been convinced of the two parts of "The Doctrine of the Soul" and "The Doctrine of Reincarnation", "I believe that 'soul generation magic' is the law of the world, and 'we can generate magic' is the manifestation. ”

"Got it!" I don't know if I really understand it or not, but Fili thinks she understands.

"Although we don't know the real principle, we are groping our way forward to form a system of our own, and it is much better than now that we only know that we have inherited the experience of our predecessors." Lyle's eyes were scattered, and his mind had obviously moved somewhere else, "...... Looks like I'm left to rely on those two spells......"

Fili blinked, curious, "Lyle, what kind of magic do you want to learn?" ”

"Flying magic and teleportation magic." Lyle replied casually.

"I want to learn flying magic, too!" Although the Cloud Bottle and Rocket Boots can already make people jump higher than trees, they are different from flying in the abyss, and this is still clear to Fili, "But teleportation magic...... Don't we already have a memory potion? ”

The Magic Mirror is a magic item found in the treasure chests left by the ancients during the exploration of the underground, and no one has been able to remake it so far, and the number is extremely limited, and it cannot be considered as a standard equipment for the general public.

The principle of the memory potion is unknown, why the mirror fish and the sunflower can combine the teleportation effect, no pharmacist in the world can answer, the phenomenon of not seeking a solution in the field of potions is more serious than that in the field of magic, but because the material can be cultivated and planted, the memory potion can theoretically be matched by the whole people.

Lyle subconsciously clenched his fists: "The Memory Potion is used to escape for your life, and I want to learn combat magic for short-distance accurate teleportation." ”

He knew he wasn't very good at jumping and jumping, but if he had the ability to fly and teleport, even he would be able to participate in the battle, and he would no longer be an incompetent spectator the whole time when he was fighting against the Eater of Worlds, watching the Pioneers fight to the death.

“…… It sounds difficult, but is there really such magic? Fili scratched her face and said suspiciously.

"No, in fact I've already touched the door, it's just ......" Lyle grimaced.

"Really? Let me see~Let me see~" Fili blinked wide-eyed.

Lyle nodded silently.

In the next second, a flash of light burst out of Lyle's body, and when Fili, who was shaken for a while, looked at it again, Lyle had disappeared from front of him.

"Wow~! Isn't this already developed? Fili looked around and couldn't find her boyfriend in the bedroom," ...... Hey? Where did the teleportation go? ”

》》》》》》》

"Master?! You are! The maid who was cleaning the studio was startled by the sudden flash of blood, and if it weren't for someone's long brocade-like white hair that was quite recognizable, she would probably have shouted out.

“…… Don't care, it's just a little bit of blood and sweat in the process of developing magic. His right arm was already broken, and Lyle trembled and raised his skinned left hand to observe, "Compared to the first time, the extent of the torn space has been much lighter. ”

"Please, please wait a minute, I'll go get the healing potion right away!" The maid finally reacted, dropped her broom and ran to the prop box to search for the potion.

"Ah, please......" Originally, teleporting to his studio was just to make it easier to get healing potions, and it would be better to have someone do it for him, "By the way, help me hide this, Fili can be annoying sometimes." Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
