The dust settled.

The scattered garbage and the broken wooden support were about to spill directly to the ground, but they were swept aside by tentacles that suddenly protruded from the shadows. In the blink of an eye, the piles of wooden shelves, almost two stories high, and the things placed on top of them turned into a pile on the ground.

The tentacles not only blocked the falling objects, but also cleared a barely walkable path in the alley under Lizzie's control. There were no injuries, and the road had been opened, but the boy who had been desperately trying to escape could no longer escape.

The tentacles of the shadows rescued him and held him firmly. Even if he wanted to struggle, there was no way for the bound joints to break away from these "ropes". On the contrary, the more he struggled, the more the shadows trapped him.

"It's a good time for you to come, but when did you come here, you can tell me more or less. Curt first glanced at the boy trapped by the tentacles, and then at Lizzie, who was operating the spell, "And your spell is really funny......

Even if he hadn't learned much about spells, Curt knew that the Shadow Tentacles that Lizzie used to bind the boy were a spell that most magicians hated, and that the basic function of such spells was often not to protect those below them from falling objects.

Of course, Lizzie's use of this spell is not wrong, after all, she has successfully achieved her goal, and the means can be ignored.

In order to prevent the teenager who was finally captured from doing anything drastic, it was not only his limbs. The mouth that connected him was forced open by a small ghost. Not to mention struggling like this, he may not even be able to commit suicide, so he can only watch weakly as Curt and Lizzie talk not far in front of him. There was also a complex expression on his face that was three points angry and seven points frightened.

"It's easy and effective. ”

In one sentence and eight words, it clearly explains the principle of Liqi's choice of spells - spells are just a tool, there is no good or evil in tools, and what they are used for depends only on the choice of the person who uses the tool. She doesn't feel like any spell is bad, as long as it does work in the current situation.

"I saw I came out of the house when you started chasing this guy. I was interested in the dagger he was holding in his hand, and it seemed to have some interesting spells attached to it. ”

After speaking. Liqi glanced at the boy who was still writhing in the tentacle group, and said with kind advice, "Okay, you can't escape anyway." Let's just be honest. I don't want to use violence for a while, so you'd better not force me to be serious against you. ”

With that, she snapped her fingers, and a small tentacle near the periphery of the tentacle group slowly stretched out in front of the young man's eyes. A blue-white electric light flashed on the tip of the tentacle - no doubt. That's what Lizzie calls "violent means", and the crackling electricity looks dangerous.

No matter who you are, after being hit hard by the electric current, it is basically hard to forget the feeling of jì. The burning sensation and intense pain make even the strongest people sweat coldly, and excessive electric shocks will take away the consciousness of the person and cause something in his body to flow out.

Startled by Lizzie's obvious threat, the boy winced, and the struggle, which had seemed weak before, became lighter. Take advantage of his cringe. A slightly slender tentacle pulled out the dagger from the boy's clothes, which he had once clutched.

It was a twisted serpentine dagger, and the silver blade looked quite sharp. The hilt carved out of wood depicts a spiral pattern. The blade of the knife depicts ancient characters with crude brushwork, because the production is really not good enough, and the magic in the zài wafts out from the blade.

"It's funny, it's supposed to be the dagger used by some pagan religions to perform rituals, usually used to peel off the skin of the sacrifices offered to the pagan gods. Looking at the dagger wrapped in the tentacles, Lizzie analyzed with interest the spell structure attached to it. "And the spells on this...... I've never seen anything like it, but it seems to make the wielder of this dagger look like someone who has been hurt by it. ”

There are many spell effects, summoning dark clouds that can bring torrential rain during times of drought, and controlling falling rocks at the moment when the rock plate collapses...... In the eyes of ordinary people, this is already almost a miraculous existence. And the magicians are the ones who perform these "miracles".

But these are not ethereal miracles, but indeed feasible man-made, and with the power of human beings themselves, they can do these things at a certain level. Using one's own knowledge and skills to drive magic and achieve actions that ordinary people are powerless through special means, this is the ability of a sorcerer.

But sorcery isn't omnipotent—rather, its limits are pretty obvious. The maximum amount of mana the user's capacity, the control of the mana, and the complexity of the spell itself can all affect the difficulty of a spell, and in fact, summoning rain clouds in an arid region is not only a matter of considering the skill of the magician, but also whether the local environment allows the spell to be cast.

The power of a spell may be widespread, but there are countless examples of how a spell can be misused in the past. Attempts to confront the whole of nature with human power are often disastrous. Casually using the wrong spell because of a seemingly "reasonable" choice will end up 10,000 times worse than the worst imaginable.

In the same way, no matter how strong a person is, the amount of mana in his body is limited after all - a lot of mana is necessary to successfully achieve a high-intensity spell. Energy does not come into thin air or disappear out of thin air, and the transformation of energy using magic simply changes its form and transforms it into something else.

Based on this principle, the larger the scale of a spell, the more mana will be required. After a certain limit, this spell has already exceeded the level that can be controlled by human beings. It's not that the magic is insufficient, it's that its scale has exceeded the control of humans, and it is difficult to rely on human power to tune it.

Spells can do a lot of things that "shouldn't be possible", but it's far from being omnipotent. Researchers have not yet found out where the real limit is, but only know that they are looking for the possibility of getting closer to the limit or even crossing the limit in continuous research and improvement.

Yes, there is a limit to the spells that humans can drive, and how to dexterously mobilize magic to drive spells within this limit, and the knowledge that the wizard has learned is precisely to do this. If you can't summon the rain clouds, then make a scoop of clear water, and if you can't control the falling rocks, then protect the people under the falling rocks - if the direct method does not work, then change to an alternative that can achieve a similar effect.

Sorcery does give humans a chance to behave beyond the reach of common sense, and it also promotes the division of a part of the population, but it does not just provide a convenient tool for humans. Spells, and the knowledge related to spells, are more of a possibility for mankind.

"Can the owner of this dagger look like someone who has been hurt by it?"

Curt repeated what Lizzie had said, and then asked the black girl with some confusion, "You mean that this dagger can 'change the shape of the user's body' and not just 'simulate a similar illusion......'?

It may not seem as good as some phenomena that are beyond the reach of human beings, but it is already quite difficult to directly change a person's appearance and make him become another person. Even with the use of spells, changing the structure instead of creating a plausible image is not a task that can be easily achieved.

"Don't you believe my reasoning?" Lizzie playfully played with the dagger, her fingertips gently caressing the smooth surface of the serpentine dagger, "Then why don't you try it, take this dagger and stab me, I guess it won't be long before you can become me." ”

It's not that Curt doesn't believe in Lizzie's interpretation of the spell, but that Lizzie's interpretation is a little different from what he has always known.

In Curt's impression, the spells that change the system belong to the more difficult category among most spell schools, and are regarded as the kaolin flower of spells like summoning spells. For the vast majority of mages, both are complex sorcery subjects that can only be viewed from a distance but are difficult to reach.

Curt shook his hand, not taking the serpentine dagger that Lizzie handed him, "No, forget it - I don't want to stab you with this dangerous thing, and I'm not interested in being like you." Trust your judgment, I'm just curious why this little imp was held with a knife with a spell to change. ”

Changing a person's structure – even for a moment – requires a lot of mana. Moreover, this spell is very unstable, because it is a forcibly changed structure, so it is extremely easy to cause abnormal sequelae due to some small anomalies.

Having an unfamiliar assailant in the possession of a sacrificial dagger with expensive spells attached to it is hard to figure out why. Even if the other two were discardable as consumables, the additional spell alone would be more expensive than the two combined.

"Hey, what's so strange about that. ”

Lizzie chuckled softly, apparently seeing what he was thinking from Curt's eyes: "This dagger should be a prototype, this little ghost...... Of course, it is possible that there are some of his companions who are real yàn products. They used these daggers only to test the effects of these prototypes. ”

Her gaze squinted to the boy bound by tentacles, a mocking sneer on the corner of her mouth. (To be continued!)
