The northern line is indeed a safe route. Even if you encounter a small group of wandering undeads, under the influence of Alicina's magic, the fear aura of low-level undead cannot play any role, and the carriage that accelerates and sprints is thrown away without fighting.

Because it was too remote, there was not even a single wild animal. Fortunately, I brought enough food to avoid starving. Except for meals and night breaks, the group spent all their time on the road.

According to the division of labor, Link was vigilant with Jafar at night. In order not to be found, he pretended to sleep while he was vigilant, he also practiced sleeping with his eyes open. It was difficult to find without careful observation. During the day, he used sleep replenishment as an excuse to try to avoid the opportunity to get along with Doyle.

Feeling Link's deliberate avoidance, Doyle's face looked even more ugly.

In this regard, Orlando believes that evasion is not the solution

Link looked at the half-elves with his eyes squintedly, "I'm just borrowing Melville's identity for the time being. I can't even take over his wife and children, right?"

If someone else said this to him, Orlando would have done it long ago. Helplessly, Link's identity and force value made him feel taboo.

"Since Melville is dead, I'd better not have contact with Doyle." Link had already made a decision in his heart. When Krenberg's affairs were over, he would definitely change his identity.

Because the time it can be used to meditate increases, Link took advantage of this rare opportunity to create several new spells. He does not like complex objects, and his own spells take the simple route.

The prototype of [Magic Barrage] is an entry-level magic missile of a mage. As long as the caster can see the target, he can cast and automatically attack and track the spell. Link's improvements are not complicated. Like the pure energy [Break Light Wave], it only increases the number of missiles. Although the power is not as strong as the blizzard and meteorite technique, it is excellent as a basic attack technique. Especially in dealing with enemies with IQ. Seeing so many, densely packed magic missiles attacking, few people will be confused.

[This spell can only deal with ordinary people, and it does not have much effect when encountering a mage or a clergyman.] The former magic goddess' evaluation is not high.

[The original intention of the design is to deal with ordinary people.] Link did not want to use this enhanced version of magic missile to fight against mages and clergy. The deterrence of magic barrage is far greater than practical.

[It is obvious that he has such strong abilities, why do he always use them in these meaningless places?] Lorelai was once again speechless about Link's personality that is different from ordinary people.

[It's not meaningless. For example, if the last refugee used such a spell as a warning, they might not dare to attack.] Of course, before getting rid of the identity of Ranger Melville, it would be impossible for him to use a discerning person to recognize the magic barrage of a spell at a glance.

[Even if it is useful, you must prepare for the future.] What Lorelai said about the "future" refers to the recovery of the power of faith.

When talking about the moment when it will come, Link was also a little heavy. It was not that he didn't care, but that he didn't want to create additional pressure on himself.

[The current allies may become enemies in the future. At that time, what will you use to fight against countless enemies? This magic barrage with no power? Or does it not distinguish between enemies and me? Too many killings will degenerate into punishment. The transformation of the camp means that you can no longer be competent as the guardian and cannot command the druid. Do you want to fight the gods alone against their followers?]

No matter how strong a son is, he cannot defeat the masses with few. Link understands that Lorelai is a kind reminder.

What is the best way to fight against a magician? Not only should you fight quickly, but you must also win with one blow, so that the opponent has no power to resist. The power of a mage is magic. The power of a clergyman is mental power. As long as you can seal the opponent's magic or mental power, you will win.

[Sealing the Demon... is a way, what are you going to do? Now that the spell has been invented for thousands of years, there are many ways to counter the Demon.] Seeing that Link had grasped the trick so quickly, Lorelai continued to ask, [If it is the law of cause and effect, forget it, don't use it if it can be used. Once you backfire, you can't afford the consequences.] Lorelai could not agree with the method of using the law of cause and effect on Link. He actually used his own life as a bet. Don't he know that the bigger the he made, the easier it was to fail?

[Not the law of cause and effect.] Link had considered the method of demon sealing the demon in Befast. But at that time he had not even mastered meditation, so don’t mention this high-end spell. With the skill of using perception, Link came up with a solution - since you can feel the magic and mental power of your opponent, why can’t you forcefully strip and extract it for yourself? Just like absorbing the demon spirit of fate.

After learning Link’s thoughts, Lorelai thought this was no longer a simple demon seal.

[Yes, not only must it be sealed, but also to seize it. How much magic and mental power the opponent has will eventually become mine. This is the ultimate countermeasure.] Link asked whether Jafar, who hardly participated in the discussion, had he ever appeared in the spell of the Son of Nature? If there is no precedent, it means that he still has to use the permission of the pillar. If it is too outrageous, he must reconsider his skills if he is not allowed.

[In the Golden Age, a son of nature used a spell called "Mana Suction". As the magic creatures in the Silver Age sharply decreased, this spell specifically used to deal with magic and elemental creatures was also covered in dust.] Jafar's answer made Link feel relieved.

Fortunately, as long as there is a precedent, the problem also follows. Lorelai has only broken consciousness, and Jafar has signed a contract with the devil, and cannot test it in the consciousness space. After thinking about it, Link had to ask Orlando for help.

When I heard that I was going to experiment with spells, the half-elf was also very interested and agreed readily.

After dinner, the two of them used patrol as an excuse to go to a place far away from the main force to test. Doyle wanted to keep up, but was stopped by the great priest.

"They have different languages, so don't worry about being heard or choosing to leave, either because they need to do something without us."

"That's how I need more surveillance!" Doyle refused to listen to his advice and insisted on following.

Alicina sighed, she was already an adult, why is she still so frizzy...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The two stopped until they were far enough from the camp to be sensed where the spells were not sensed.

Orlando first used spells. Link's perception ability has improved a lot compared to when he first traveled through time. He easily captured the magic power emitted from the half-elves. Different energies showed different colors and forms in his eyes. Perhaps because of the miscellaneous and impotence, the energy emitted by Orlando was a light green halo. In terms of "quantity", it was far less than other magicians that Link encountered, and could not be compared with powerful people like Claire, Bard, and Francesca at the sage level.

Link tried to extract magic from Orlando, but practice was always more difficult than imagined. He even directly touched the energy visualized in his eyes with his hands, and could not take the power that did not belong to him for himself. This made him worry.

How did the Son of Nature use mana to absorb it?

Jafar could not provide more detailed information on this point. He was just a druid, not a son of nature.

Lorelai gave a reference answer - the Destiny Spirit.

[Originally, I wanted to use the undead to absorb life as a metaphor, but it is obviously not suitable for you as a son of nature.] Lorelai can only take the second best and use the demon spirit of fate. In fact, no matter what kind of energy you absorb, it is similar, but it feels different.

The destiny demon Link has experience, and he is also not his own, and is essentially an energy that is "invisible".

With objects for reference, he was worried that while extracting magic power, he would also take away Orlando's destiny demon spirit.

[This depends on your own control, strictly distinguishing magic, mental power and magic.] Lorelai's answer confirms Link's concerns, and there is indeed such a possibility.

So, in order not to make mistakes, Link did not rush to test, but asked Orlando to switch back and forth between arcane and divine arts, and the half-elf complained that this was a waste of his magic and mental power.

Doyle, who was following me from afar, was also confused. Could it be that he discovered that I was following me and deliberately fooled me?

Until Orlando's magic and mental power were consumed, Doyle did not notice anything. Seeing that the two were about to return to the camp, they could only return in disappointment. Looking at his expression, Alicina knew that she had not found anything meaningful.

After several days of continuous progress, Link was able to accurately distinguish the difference between the three energy types. As Doyle was delayed by the merchant Uk, Link finally successfully used his mana to absorb it.

Orlando felt something was being pulled out of his body, and felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness, so he asked what spell was Link experimenting with.

Summoning all things and seeing the name of the magic spell on it. Link, breathing a sigh of relief, told the test subject, "I just used the magic spell, don't you feel anything?"

Orlando subconsciously touched his chest, "I feel like something has been pulled away, but I didn't realize what it was?"

Link asked him to cast another spell. Orlando used a magic-consuming spell, but the spell did not succeed with the spell name singing. The sense of emptiness turned into a sense of fatigue. He changed to a spell that consumed the least magically and failed. Only then did he believe that Link had really pulled away his magic.

"But why did I feel like I didn't have the magic power to be pulled away?" The half-elf was puzzled.

Link didn't know, so he asked Lorelai.

[Because he is not good at spells, he can barely be considered an expert-level element. The half-elf uses bards as a disguise, but his real profession is chant, that is, divine arts. If you change your spirit to absorb it, he will definitely feel different.]

According to Lorelai's explanation, Link asked Orlando to perform his magical magic again. This time, it was indeed different from drawing magic. Orlando almost realized that his mental power was drawn away while being drawn. If he didn't understand, his few hundred would be in vain. Link was testing a magic-sealing spell against the magician.
