Chapter 111: Guiding Technique

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

If it is defined in detail, this sentence may be biased, but at least it is not possible to evaluate a person as "incapable" based on the appearance of the other party's appearance. A person who doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy can sometimes swing an unexpected effect in some strange places.

Mio Dustad may be as much a nagging little girl as she looks, and it gives Lizzie a great headache because she is tired of dealing with her enthusiasm. And now she seems to want to use her actual expression to prove to Lizzie that she is not just a character who exists to cause trouble.

It's just that her actions still don't seem very reliable.

The plumb sinker that came out of her purse was supposed to be part of some group of cheap fishing gear, and its shoddy appearance raised doubts about whether it was a discarded scrap. Despite its unsightly appearance, the metal mass, the size of a tinky knuckle, still shimmers with a characteristic dull light.

Mio Disstad flashed the plumb pendant in front of Lizzie and Oscar, and said as mysteriously as possible, "Look at this! Do you know what this is?"

Maybe she wanted to use this technique to make the plumb in her hand look a little more noticeable when she appeared on the show. But this gray piece of metal, however decorated with it, is nothing more than a tool that can be seen on any bargain fishing rod.

Seeing her unknowingly performing, Oscar raised his eyebrows, and the disappointment on his face was quite obvious. He had expected her to come up with some decent spell props, after all, it was unlikely that Oscar would expect an ordinary theory apprentice to cast high-intensity spells.

"What's what...... Isn't it just a plumb sinker that can be seen all over the street?" he was a little dissatisfied with Mio Disstad's showmanship. "Don't be foolish, just talk about your plan, didn't you say 'the best at finding things'? ”

I had expected to be treated like this. Mio Disstad grinned disapprovingly, and gave his shoulders rather absently. As if inadvertently, she spun the lead sinker in her hand, and the slight weight of the metal cut through the air, leaving a series of afterimages.

"Orientation? I didn't expect that there are still people who have mastered such a side-of-the-road thing. Unlike Oscar's disappointment, Lizzie's tone was full of banter, breaking the meaning of the lead sinker that circled meaninglessly in midair, "But this is not the category of spells." ”

She glanced at Mio Disstad and the plumb sinker she was playing with with a little teasingly. Suddenly became interested in the little girl in front of me. Everyone said that the Catrice Academy was full of talent, but they didn't expect that even the theory department would have an apprentice with an almost forgotten technology.

The long penny sinker swings regularly, and the only thing that can make this thing related to "finding" is the technique of finding the general direction with a simple instrument.

Use something as a medium. It is a technique that conveys a special kind of "shock" through the information of the object being explored, and then moves the medium by the feedback shock, and finally finds the general direction of the target. The clearer the information about the target, the more accurate the direction will be obtained.

Strictly speaking. Channeling is not a type of spell. It's another side branch technique that uses magic. Not all spells that use magic are spells, but all spells are powered by magic. Generally speaking, only techniques that create unnatural "phenomena" can be considered spells.

However, in ancient times, this inexplicable technology could only be understood as "mysterious". In the era when human beings did not have tools that could determine direction, such as a clear compass or a sextant, guideway once became an irreplaceable and important technology and was restricted from spreading.

In addition to navigating the seas where you have to know your own position, caravans traveling far away and teams exploring uncultivated wastelands also need people who have mastered the art of orientation. At a time when sorcerers were as few and far between, these people with guiding spells were the best companions.

However, in the era when all kinds of directional equipment have been developed quite well, this little useful technology is now very few people still mastered. Not only is Yan zhòng behind the times. And the effect is not obvious - in modern times, this once highly valued technology can only be used to find people and so on.

Mastering this technique does not require the user to have a high mana capacity. However, there are high demands on the learner's ability to use his or her magical powers. The "talent" required by the guide technique is also different from the usual spells, and the use of magic and spells can almost be said to be two directions.

As a result, it is difficult for a person who has mastered the guiding technique to master the spell, and it is difficult for a person who has learned the spell to understand the principle of the guiding technique. However, a spell can use a map to create a "marker to find someone", but a guide spell cannot create a fire for heating.

Why choose the troublesome and inaccurate Guiding Technique when there are more convenient spells to use? With the advent of spell technology, this technique has gradually been forgotten in the corners of history. In the corner of a big city, there may be a small shop that provides a search service using wayfinding.

Lizzie once thought that the people who had mastered this technique in Katris City were extinct, but today there is one alive in an unexpected place. And it was Mio Disstad, who she had always teased as a "nagging little girl".

The world is incredible.

"It doesn't matter if it's a spell or not. "If only I could prove that it was useful—for example, pointing out the direction of Miss Mabel." ”

With a swish, as if pulled by an invisible hand, the lead sinker that was still running on the trajectory that had just swung out suddenly stopped in mid-air. Before Mio Disstad could give his next instructions, the plumb sinker writhed in the air a few times, and finally pointed in the direction of the Theory Building.

There is no overflowing aura when mana is used, and there is no sign of a Rubik's cube drive. Although Lizzie only knew about the Guiding Technique from the book and did not know how it actually worked, she was certain that Mio Disstad did not use a spell to control the plumb sinker.

"See, it works!" The girl who successfully demonstrated proudly puffed up her breasts, "This classmate, do you have anything related to the friend you are looking for now?" the more detailed the better, I need to use it as material for basic information. ”

Oscar gave Mio Disstad a suspicious look, then handed Lizzie an inquiring look. Obviously, he didn't know what tricks the girl in front of him was playing, but after seeing Lizzie nodding, he simply took out a student handbook from his pocket.

He opened the student handbook, handed it to Mio Disstad, and said, "This is Hepburn's student handbook, you think it should be okay, right? Originally, I was going to give this to him today, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this." ”

"Well, no problem, it's good material - you guys wait, just a little bit. ”

Taking the student handbook and flipping through it, Mio Disstad agreed in a tone that seemed to say, "Leave it to me!" However, Lizzie noticed that her expression was a little reluctant, as evidenced by the relaxed expression on her face that had disappeared, and a pair of eyes staring straight at the plumb.

Taking a deep breath, Mio Dustad held his breath. Her eyes were closed, and her fingers gently shook the lead sinker that had fallen out of control.

Hum -

The lead sinker that stopped in mid-air shook slightly, and in an instant, a soft sound like tinnitus crossed the ears. Lizzie, who was standing nearby, could clearly feel the air being stirred like water, rippling like ripples. Circles of ripples spread around the lead sinker, and objects touched by these ripples also diffract slightly weaker ripples, and then spread farther away.

The atmosphere became turbulent, and although the oscillation from the lead fall was small, the spread of the layers still stirred up the otherwise calm air. Oscar, who was familiar with air-like elemental spells, keenly caught the discordant sound in the air, and covered his ears with a frown.

"What's this noise...... It's so noisy!" He grinned as he covered his ears tightly as if a high pitch had exploded next to his ears, "Miss Lizzie, you said that this thing called 'Guiding Technique' is not a spell...... So what the hell is it?"

The steering technique of toggling the air to produce multiple vibrations is very stimulating for Oscar, who is relatively sensitive to changes in the air. It is difficult for ordinary ears to catch the oscillation of the guide, and at most it will only cause slight discomfort, but for Oscar, it is undoubtedly a noise that gives him a headache.

Lizzie glanced at Oscar and replied casually, "It's complicated to be serious, and you may not understand it...... To put it simply, all you need to know is that this is a technique that uses magic - the concussions might make you a little uncomfortable, so bear with them for a while. ”

She had wanted to tell Sù that Oscar's agitation was not reflected in her ears, so it was useless to just cover her ears, and he would provide some psychological comfort at best. However, looking at Oscar's tangled expression, she felt that it was better not to sue him.

Gently swinging the plumb sinker with his hand, Mio Disstad's entire mind was already focused on using the guide. The nagging look that she used to have when she was by Lizzie's side had faded somewhere, and her immersion and concentration made her seem as if she was not alone from her usual.

Her mastery of the guiding technique is far from hot, and she almost does not know Hepburn at all, so it is very difficult to successfully perform the guiding technique. The beads of sweat on her forehead became apparent, she had tried many times in that time, but none of them seemed to make progress.

Suddenly, the agitation of the air became violent, and the piercing humming sound continued to strike, making Oscar's face blue and white. In return, the plumb pendant, which had been shaking only slightly, floated, and the elongated chain pointed like a pointer in the opposite direction to the Silver Tower.

"Finally found ......" (to be continued!)
