The "butterfly" created by the spell flapped its thin wings and slowly flew in the air. At first glance, the butterfly looks like a living thing, and it's hard to tell that it's a listening prop.

Lizzie felt that Danvers was wary, and there was a reason why he had chosen to hold the club meeting in that cabin. Off-the-beaten-track areas are usually not visited by apprentices, and the gentle surroundings make it easy for people in the hut to see if anyone is approaching.

It's just a pity that they are so focused on what they are discussing that no one notices the situation around them, let alone observes a passing butterfly. After a while, under Liqi's operation, the paper-folded butterfly slowly stopped among the flowers that no one noticed.

"Alright, well, Caredith, I think you do have your own opinion. Staying near the party allowed Danfoss's calm words to reach Lizzie's ears, "But we can put this matter aside for a moment, I don't think it will affect our plans." ”

Unfortunately, by the time the terminal arrived, their previous discussion had already come to an end, and it was difficult for Lizzie to know what the so-called "non-detrimental to the plan" thing they had talked about was specific. The apprentice, whom he called Caredith, returned to his place without saying a word.

Now that the discussion was over, Danfoss raised his voice and said, "Very well, let's talk about the latest results of my research." Not long ago, I showed you an excellent ancient spell that these icicles will be our power. ”

Standing in the corner at the far end of the hallway, Lizzie could barely see some pale white light emanating from the cabin, and she could vaguely feel the moisture in the air converging in that direction. It is conceivable that Danfoss unleashed the spell to create an ice pick in order to demonstrate his strength to the members.

Lizzie regretted that she hadn't set up a spell on the terminal that could directly transmit her senses. In this way, she could not see clearly the specific form of the spell used by Danfoss. She couldn't help but blame herself, and she forgot to even put a preparation on it that would preserve the core of the picture.

The small building she was in was too far away from the cabin where Danfoss and the others gathered, and Lizzie couldn't stand on the windowsill with great fanfare to look at their location. Cowering behind the wall panel in the hallway, she could only see the outline of a Rubik's cube that crossed into an "X" shape as she peered through the gap in the wall.

If it was just an ancient spell to create an ice pick, Lizzie had seen at least seven different structures, but the one Danvers was driving now was exactly the one she had never seen before. Seeing a circle of ice picks the size of canine teeth appear on his fingertips, and then gradually expand, Lizzie's doubts gradually grew.

According to the basic theory of elemental spells, ice picks, which have the attribute of "ice", are a variant of the four basic branches of "water". The "coldness" of the "water" itself is further strengthened, and the "solidification" property is added to create solid ice cubes.

Where there is water, there are materials to make ice, and spells with raw materials are easier than making them out of thin air. As a result, simple and economical projectile spells such as icicles used to be used by sorcerers in the army to defend against enemy attacks.

Depending on the needs of the battlefield, there are many variations of this spell. Nearly 100 years ago, there was also a battle that was jokingly called a "snowball fight" by later generations. Both men threw icicles at each other with heavy shields, and in the end no one died, and the few wounded were injured for some stupid reason.

This spell was still very popular before the use of magic equipment, and the temporarily recruited "magicians" used it to their fullest potential. Unfortunately, this wave was quickly eliminated after the new mechanics were made clear and equipped on a large scale.

This is a matter of course, and the "Ice Pick" spell, which uses low energy consumption as a selling point, is nothing more than a spell that shoots an ice cube and can only be used against enemies that are not well protected. In the face of the magic bullet that consumes less energy than it, has a longer range, and is more powerful, it can only obediently give way.

As a result, this spell only flooded the battlefield for a short period of time, and was gradually swept into the dustbin of history. The few remaining side branch variants that have survived to the present day have long since become a means of making temporary ice in dessert shops, and they will never have a chance to go to the battlefield again.

Ping Pong!

Several crisp cracking sounds rang out one after another, and Danfoss manipulated the translucent "icicles" to shoot at several targets placed elsewhere in the cabin. As he commanded, several shimmers about the size of thumbs sliced through the air and nailed into the rudimentary wooden target.

She could discern that the "icicle" used by Danfoss added "manipulation" to the most basic form to increase the controllability of the spell, and "large-scale" to increase the basic lethality. It can almost be said that it is a variant that is completely opened for the purpose of specialized combat capabilities.

In its size and size, it probably wouldn't even be able to pierce the light chain mail that Curt had bought to prop up the façade - no, if it was Curt, the ice picks wouldn't have touched him at all. At best, this old-fashioned "ancient spell" can only threaten ordinary citizens who are not equipped with armor.

If you do a rough calculation, the total magic power required to power this spell can already be fired three or four times with a normal "ice pick". If you throw in a small ball of metal as a catalyst and inject a little more magic into it, you can even create a fireball that is enough to ignite the dry wood

Lizzie didn't know who would know that this kind of spell that appeared to be specialized in attack power on the surface, but was actually thankless.

Looking at these apprentices who were overjoyed just by looking at a spell that had long been eliminated, Lizzie couldn't help but laugh. She didn't think that these apprentices had learned some more advanced spells in the academy than what was contained in this "icicle". But now, in the face of a not-so-excellent spell with the name of an ancient spell, the reaction of these people was unexpectedly enthusiastic.

Lizzy couldn't imagine what they had come into contact with the ancient spells.

"Spells are power, but not just power.

This is wisdom, knowledge, technology, and will.

Wisdom is the head, thinking the truth.

Knowledge is the eyes and ears, discerning all things.

Technology for the wrist, casting fan.

The will is the legs and feet, stepping into the unknown.

Under the guidance of the true purpose, let us spread new wisdom!"

This is the inscription on the stele next to the main entrance of the Catrice Academy, on which stands a statue of a female sorcerer holding a book. This is a replica of a statue from the mythological era that appeared on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and some scholars believe that it was a sculpture left by the ancients to commemorate the great achievements of the magicians.

The inscription engraved at the bottom of the statue is the motto left by Huey Grostest, the "Silver Dragon King" who promoted the construction of the college. The least important thing about all the spells he studied in his life was the power of the spell.

I don't know what he would think if he saw the students in his academy regard the "way" as the "purpose" and then the most important thing was obscured by this "purpose".

After watching the Danfoss demonstration, the cabin was filled with the sound of clapping, but at this moment, an apprentice sitting on the right hand side of Danfoss suddenly stood up.

"Danvers, we all know the effect of this spell. He raised his voice to ask Danvers, and Lizzie suddenly felt as if she had heard it somewhere, "But one thing you need to know is that not everyone can cast this spell as freely as you do. As you mentioned, it's not complicated, but the magic of making an ice pick out of thin air is a bit overwhelming. ”

Hearing this, Lizzie's eyebrows furrowed—she had thought that Danfoss had used the water prepared in the hut as a material before releasing the spell, and she had subconsciously begun to refute the spell.

Spellcasting is an augmentation of ancient spells that frees the mage from a large pile of materials, allowing them to move flexibly with the lightened load. Of course, in order to achieve the result of eliminating materials, the amount of mana consumed is increased exponentially.

From their conversation, it seems that when Danvers unleashed this spell just now, he should have done the same as in the past, without using materials, but creating ice picks out of thin air. Originally, Lizzie had just thought it was a bit of a concern that he had suddenly acquired the talent to cast spells, but now she was already thinking about revisiting his information.

"Don't worry, Constance. Danfoss seemed pleased with the man's question, but his tone was as flat as ever, "I've said before that the right amount of ice crystalline powder can be used as a catalyst for this spell, allowing us to cast it easily. ”

But not long after he finished speaking, an apprentice on the other side who didn't know which school it was immediately stood up and raised an objection: "But, Danfoss, you need to know...... Ice crystals are a material that is contraband, and it seems to be ...... on the market Well, it's not very easy to get. ”

Danfoss waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "I said it, don't worry. I haven't had a chance to tell you, our dear friend, that Miller Edgecomb used his ingenuity to help us get enough ice crystals for our practice. ”

Although she didn't know who Miller Edgecomb was, Lizzie remembered the last time the mineral ice crystals were in contact with Danfoss - the materials she had taken from the cupboards in the storage room that day included several glass bottles containing ice crystals.

She immediately understood what the so-called "ingenuity" was, and it seemed that the "next step" she had heard earlier was related to what they were discussing.

Bang ......

Just as she was about to continue listening, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs.
