Chapter 40: The Mysterious Girl
Distress is distress, but Leah is a good mood changer, and by the next day, she has turned her attention back to magic.
After all, she is still young, and even the "17-year-old" Sister Kalian hasn't worried about marriage, so why should she be sentimental.
What's more, compared to emotional problems, improving strength is the top priority. After all, if she had the strength of Hanufain, how could she care about the eyes of the world.
Think about it, even if the controller of the Ten Thousand Laws is a lace side, which Holy See would dare to burn her?
In short, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and the road ahead is still very long.
As for magic, after the baptism of the Fountain of Tranquility and the former reality as the foundation, the incantation that summons elements of the extradimensional space has naturally become a great success.
This is a huge step forward for Leah, and for the revival of space-time magic. A large part of the difference between space magic and other magic lies in the fact that whether it is arcane or the four elements, they are originally filled with heaven and earth, and they do not need superfluous summoning.
After completing the summoned spatial elements, all that remains is to imitate the arcane and the four elements and weave the corresponding spells.
Thus, the Dimensional Orb, a basic and basic spatial attack magic, came into being. Because it just summons a spatial element and fires it with a compression technique similar to an arcane missile, the effect is not very good.
"Alas...... Looking at the power, it is at most a third-level magic, but the spell summoned by the space element is completely a fifth-level difficulty, and it feels ...... It's a bit more than worth the loss. ”
Writing his own magician's notes. Leah commented dissatisfiedly.
That's right, the most important thing is that the spell in the elemental summoning part is really difficult, because it requires the mage to have level 5 spiritual power. However, these summoned extradimensional elements are channeled according to the pattern of arcane missiles. But he lost the ability to cut people into sashimi, and instead turned into a round ball, and its damage became even more chaotic, completely lacking the sharpness of the dimensional blade.
"Looks like I need more information. ”
The research reached a dead end, and Leah decided to make another trip to the Palace of Wisdom......
"Are you going out, please allow me to be your bodyguard, Lord Leah. ”
Just arrived at the door. Little Lori met Alex.
"Thank you for your concern, Alec, but it doesn't matter. ”
Leah shook her head. In the past two days, she went out without a guard. It's not that little Lori was completely careless after an assassination. It's just that some time ago, in addition to the time-based magic book, Hanufain also gave Leah a gadget for self-defense.
Well...... A gadget in the mouth of the great sage. Although it is a one-off. But yes, basically no one can continue to assassinate her, because ......
[Even if Babafen uses dragon breath on you, this thing can last for a while, if it is in the mage city, at least there is no problem in holding on until I come.] 】
That's what the parties said.
So Leah and Karen discussed it, and they didn't know if it had anything to do with genetics, and the two of them, who liked some high-risk and high-reward tactics, immediately decided to use it as bait. Let's see if anything else slips through the cracks.
It's a pity that Salman's Holy Cult seems to have learned to be obedient, and other than that, Leah really hasn't brushed too much hatred from anyone else. Yes. In the past two days, although little Lori occasionally travels alone, there have been no assassinations.
After thinking about it carefully, Leah felt that this was normal, it was enough to play this kind of card once, and the Pope was not an old man in the mountains, so how could he eat assassination as a meal.
"Please let me be the guard, just disguise yourself and it won't affect your lordship and Miss Leah's plans. ”
But he still insisted on Alec.
"Well, okay then, but is that okay?"
Leah nodded, to be honest, although it was feasible to let the knight disguise himself as a pauper as a secret guard, it was not a glorious thing for the knight himself to put down his noble status and pretend to be a commoner or something.
"If it was Miss Leah, no one from Snow Lotus City would object. It should be said that it is our honor. ”
Little Lori had already brushed the prestige of the Knights to worship in Snow Lotus City, so Alec dared to swear that this was definitely not a problem.
"In that case, go and gather a few knights, and follow me twenty paces apart, please, Alec. ”
Leah nodded, and it would be rude to refuse like this.
"Yes!"
In this way, little Lori went to the Palace of Wisdom. It was calm along the way, as usual, nothing happened.
As always, there were only two or three kittens in the space-time collection, and Leah began to search for the books or documents she wanted.
[Well, this one seems to be about the unstable dìng spatial element...... The spatial element of the unstable dìng...... It's very similar to the extradimensional space element I summoned, but the level is lower, and if you use this element to try to perfect the dimensional orb, you can improve a decent third-level magic......
But...... The theories in this literature are too far from mine, and there are still many things that need to be improved...... Kindness...... Let's look for something else......]
Flipping through a document written in Elven language, Leah found that there was a lot to learn from.
The first information is what I want, which makes little Lori very happy.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Leah?"
At this moment, an old voice stopped her.
"Ah...... Mr. Essoda ......"
Turning around, Leah discovers that it is none other than Saif Mentor Essoda. Considering that the other party has already studied space magic, it doesn't seem strange to appear here.
"You're here to study space magic today?"
The other party asked with a smile.
"Well...... By the way, Mr. Essoda, Saif recently ...... How's it going?"
Seeing the old man, Leah thought about the rejection of Saif that day.
"Miss Leah, please don't worry, as a mage, I don't want to talk about marriages between nobles. Judging from a man alone, Saif is still very strong, he is not as fragile as you think, but he just wants me to take three days off, saying that he is going to treat a broken love, and then by the way, he also delays the paper that should have been given to me for a week. ”
Essoda shook his head, clearly not taking the emotional conflict between Leah and Saif seriously. As an old man, these should be the problems of the young people themselves.
"Yes...... Is that so...... That's good......"
Saif didn't have any psychological shadow on this, and Leah felt very relieved, but hearing that the other party actually used this as an excuse to drag the paper, it made her smile bitterly.
It didn't take long for Leah, who had said goodbye to Essoda, to continue her search for suitable literature.
And at this time, outside the Palace of Wisdom.
"Huh?"
Alec, who was waiting for Lori, noticed that a little girl in a gray cloak was watching not far away.
With short gray hair, big eyes, and a small smudge on her white face, she has the same washboard figure as Amy, which doesn't look conspicuous. The other man was eating an apple and looking this way, and after noticing the knight's gaze, he turned and disappeared into the crowd.
“......”
Looking at the direction in which the girl was leaving, Alec had a strange feeling.
"What's wrong?"
The rest of the knights noticed his musings.
"No...... Nothing ......."
Shaking his head, Alec had the impression that the girl had been following them as if they had been following them on the way to the Palace of Wisdom.
But this tracking technique is also terrible, and judging from her movements, she doesn't know martial arts at all.
Mage, maybe, but how can a mage come and assassinate?
Should be...... Coincidence...... Mages who want to come to the Wisdom Palace but don't have permission to enter, such people don't seem to be uncommon in Mage City. 】
After thinking about it, Alec felt that he was too careful.
"Ah...... It's nothing...... Until Miss Leah comes out, keep on guard. ”
"Yes!"
In the end, he didn't voice his doubts. (To be continued......)
