Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 127 Winter is coming
By the next day, Emile had expected Anne to formally teach him magic, but she took out several small pieces of paper and asked Emir to inject magic power.
There were more pieces of paper this time, roughly estimated to be a thousand, and the previous hundred or so, the emir did not feel tired after finishing it, but such a large amount is not necessarily.
Emile couldn't help but be more suspicious of Anne's motives, but he didn't complain, after all, Anne had saved him several times, and it was understandable that he was selling something.
In the end, it took him half a day to finally inject all the little pieces of paper with plenty of magic, and the result was indeed unexpected, he felt like his whole body was going to collapse, but luckily Anne came to check the results and used magic to help him recover.
"Well, that's your limit." Anne nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, Miss Annie, when will you be able to teach me magic?" Emir still couldn't help but ask.
ββ¦β¦ Alas, didn't you say it yesterday? Don't call me teacher," Anne said helplessly, then said, "Don't worry, know when I first learned magic......"
Anne then recounted a great deal of her own experience, and Γmile, though a little impatient, listened attentively and did not dare to complain in the slightest.
And so, a few more days passed, during which Anne told him to do only one thing, and that was to inject magic into her little piece of paper.
And every time Emile couldn't hold back and wanted to say what was in her heart, Anne would change the subject at the right time, and the matter of learning magic would be gone.
This went on for half a month, and Emile mentally counted the number of small pieces of paper for Anne, at least fifteen thousand, if she had not used them during this period.
But looking at Anne, it seemed that she had not stopped, and finally one day, the Emir struck, and in any case, he wanted to know why Anne had been doing it.
ββ¦β¦ Well, Teacher Annie, I have a question that has been holding back in my heart," said Emile earnestly, trying to hide his dissatisfaction, "If it is not resolved, I think my future training will also be affected." β
"Well, you name it." Unexpectedly, Anne stopped changing the subject.
"You have so many small pieces of paper now, you probably can't fit them in your pockets, why do you keep preparing?"
"No," Anne explained, shaking her head, "my pocket is magically treated, similar to a magic item, and if I had to say, it would be similar to the ring you used to hold Lilith, let alone more than 10,000 pieces, tens of millions of dollars." β
"Oh, but, have you noticed that I've been doing this for nearly half a month, can my strength really surpass you in the next time?" The emir voiced his concerns.
However, Anne still looked unimpressed.
"Don't worry, when did I lie to you."
"I'm sorry, Annie, I'm afraid I can't trust you anymore," Emir had to get serious, "I won't be studying magic anymore if you don't tell me your true purpose." β
"This ......," Anne hesitated, but finally compromised, "Alas, you won, and you can't really do anything." β
Seeing this, Emir finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the emotions he had suppressed for so many days were finally released.
"That's right, on the one hand, this can exercise your magic recovery ability, just like physical strength, as long as you train regularly, you will have more and more magic reserves in your body, and on the other hand, I do need so many small pieces of paper to mend my alien space."
"What?" The emir's eyes widened, for it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"To tell you the truth, after teleporting that dark knight to another dimension, I also thought that I could easily kill her next, after all, I have absolute control over that world, but then I found out that she made a big fuss there, making the whole space full of holes, if it wasn't for the gap being too small, it is estimated that she would have escaped long ago, so I immediately decided to use all my strength to destroy her, but in the end it failed, she used the hurricane to create a spherical shield, which looked indestructible, and my attack was completely useless against her."
"Well, since it's the wind, then you can completely drain the air in the other dimension, so that her wind won't blow."
"It still doesn't work, I've tried, that shield is the same as my other dimension, it exists independently of that world."
"I see."
Only then did Emile understand the problem Anne was facing, and he couldn't help but feel guilty for misunderstanding Anne before.
"So what do you do next?"
"Don't worry, although I can't kill her for the time being, she can't escape either, but she's afraid of everything, maybe one day she finds out that I'm not there, and then the gap in the other space becomes bigger, and she will escape."
"Okay, how many more pieces of paper do you need? I'll inject you with magic as soon as possible. β
"Hmm, I want to think about it...... It's about 10,000 years away, and it will take ten days. β
"Ah......h
The emir was dumbfounded, he dared to feel that he had not been given time to study magic at all.
"Haha, you're not going to be in a hurry again, are you?" Anne looked at his face and immediately saw the clue.
"I'm going to say no, you won't believe it."
"Alas, indeed," said Anne with a wry smile, then patted her breast, "though I am not good at anything, my only merit is that I have always been good at talking, and I said that if I want you to surpass me, I will do it." β
Emile looked Anne in the eye, and after a while, he finally chose to believe, because he could see that Anne was full of confidence in this matter.
After that, the Emir honestly helped Anne prepare the small pieces of paper until the last five days of the agreed period, and only a few days before they set out on a crusade against the demons, Anne finally had to officially teach him magic.
"First of all, for magicians, drawing magic arrays is the most basic ability, if talent testing is the first threshold for learning magic, then drawing magic arrays is the second."
"Hmm." The emir nodded earnestly.
"Then you can use the magic array to release an ordinary magic." Anne pulled a booklet out of her pocket.
Emir took it and flipped through it, and found that there were more than a dozen pages, each of which had a standard magic array drawn on it, and there were many small words for explanation next to it.
"Do you want me to pick any one?"
"Well, whatever you choose, it's all the most basic magic anyway."
Emir nodded, and then began to rummage, as a beginner, he felt that he should find something simpler, so he showed Anne the magic circle he liked.
"Well," Anne said, with a look of indescribability, "this is too easy, it's not difficult, and as my student, I would definitely be laughed at by others for learning such a simple thing." β
"Haha, let's talk about it, you really think of yourself as a teacher." Emir couldn't help but joke.
However, Anne had a serious face and drew a rather complex magic circle out of thin air, and Emir immediately felt her mouth be sealed and her throat burned.
ββ¦β¦β
"Hmph, that's disrespecting the teacher...... Ahh Anne said with her waist crossed.
Emir hurriedly made a gesture for mercy, and Anne gave up.
"Okay, let's move on, anyway, this one is too simple, we have to change it."
Emile continued to rummage, and then Anne said that it was too easy to take a fancy to several.
He couldn't help but want to complain, since he was not satisfied with so much, then why let him choose by himself?
"Yes, how about the magic you just told me to shut up?" The emir had a sudden idea.
"Well, it can be, but it's useless."
"It's okay, didn't you let me practice as a practice? You don't have to think about actual combat. β
"Oh, that's right." Anne agreed.
Then, she drew the magic circle on the ground, the outermost one was a circle that looked quite perfect, and the inside drew a small circle, between the two circles there were many unexplained words, and in the center of the magic circle was an indescribable thing composed of various geometric figures.
Although it may seem a bit complicated, it is not difficult to replicate under the careful guidance of Anne.
In the end, the emir followed her to draw the magic circle one by one, but it seemed crooked, the two circles were completely irregular, and some of the strokes were not right.
But Anne did not object, but motioned for him to inject magic into it, thus unleashing the magic.
"Ah, by the way, you have to specify the object before you release the magic, otherwise the magic will be lost."
"Then I can only offend you, Teacher Anne."
"Tsk, be careful that I counter your magic." When Anne heard him say this, she became puffed up again.
Then, the magic was unleashed, and with a faint blue light flashing, Anne couldn't open her mouth.
However, despite the success of the first practice, the light did not disappear, but flew above the two of them, turning into something that looked like a rift.
Immediately after, the crack widened, and a pitch-black figure emerged from inside.
Because the thing was moving so fast, Emir couldn't even see what it was, until Anne struck, and she expertly conjured a wand, and then slammed it on the thing, instantly turning it into a puddle of green, viscous liquid.
"Hey, it's disgusting, my wand is dead now." Anne frowned.
"What the hell is this?"
"It's okay, it's just a side effect of the abnormal release of magic, it's just that if you are touched by this thing, your body will be corroded, and it is possible that it will eventually spread to your whole body." Anne said it lightly.
ββ¦β¦ No, it's okay," Emil grumbled, then frustrated, "So I just failed, didn't I?" It also puts us all in danger. β
"Well, strictly speaking, it's not a failure, it's just that the magic array is not standard, just pay attention next time."
"Don't say it so easily, okay? If you hadn't made a timely move just now, I guess I'll have to pay attention to it in the next life. Emir said with a wry smile.
"It's really dangerous just now, but you don't need to worry too much, as a senior magician, I still have this skill, and after this incident, you're even more impressed, aren't you?"
Emile knew that Anne was comforting him, and since even the teacher had said so, he was embarrassed to continue to delve in.
"So, in order for you not to make this mistake again in the future, I'm going to ask you to copy this magic array a hundred times, do you hear clearly?" Anne immediately assumed the attitude of being a teacher.
Emile found that by this time Anne was no longer resisting being his teacher.
"Well, I heard you clearly."
For the next five days, Emir studied the magic taught to him by Annie very seriously, and because of this momentum, he quickly learned ten basic magics, but with the blessing of the magic pill, the basic magic he released was not inferior to those high-level magic.
And in the end, at his request, Anne also taught him the teleportation magic that she was most proud of, and said that he could also use Anne's alternate dimension.
When all the teaching was done, Anne resigned from him for the time being, because she would return to the organization to discuss with her sisters the information she had obtained so far.
By this time it was already winter, and Emile looked out the window at the heavy snowfall, and could not help but think that in a few days, their winter would also come.
