Chapter 5 The Fundamentals of Magic
It hurts! Her body hurt to the extreme. Fortunately, the dagger kept Bella's brain completely awake, so she was not overwhelmed by the pain that seemed to pull out all the bone marrow and stir it up.
The girl clenched the dagger tightly, hoping that if she found out that the magic mirror was causing trouble, she would still be able to fight back.
Fortunately, the worst possibility did not happen. Magic Mirror looked on with cold eyes, neither providing help nor adding insult to injury.
A small cyclone of energy gradually formed in Bella's heart. The energy was so weak that it seemed that it could be extinguished by the wind.
The process was extremely painful, but she knew that she was no longer the same as before.
"Damn it! Why do I think you are pretty and friendly?" She looked at the magic mirror in confusion.
"...I have to say that your language organization ability is inversely proportional to your beauty. In addition to wearing a hat, earrings, some makeup and lipstick, that thing around your neck may also be able to hold some knowledge appropriately.
, that’s good for you..."
The somewhat arrogant Magic Mirror saw her raising the dagger high again, and quickly pulled the crooked building back: "Because you completed the ritual with the help of my mirror, which makes us closely connected. Once you die, I will also be destroyed."
, and vice versa, I think this way we can trust each other more."
Bella raised her chin slightly: "This is really good news."
In fact, she had reservations about this. If the magic mirror was destroyed, she would also die, which didn't seem to be a problem. But if it was the other way around, and she would die, the magic mirror would be a little damaged at best, and it would definitely not be enough to kill them all.
The other party had reservations, and she didn't ask further.
Bella closed her eyes and meditated for a few seconds, carefully understanding this magical ability based on her own beauty.
The specific magic used by her and the queen is different, but the core is exactly the same. Both use three drops of blood to activate their own magic, and both use themselves as the cornerstone of the most beautiful spells.
It's quite an idealistic thing. It seems that as long as she can reach the most beautiful level, some kind of rules will bear the backlash caused by casting magic for her. If she is not the most beautiful, then I'm sorry, but she has to bear the backlash herself.
A big question mark appeared in her heart, what world rules are these? Where is she? Using magic can have backlash?
She had to ask the understanding 'people' around her: "Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"It's Queen Ravana."
"Pfft -" Bella almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. You said the queen was the most beautiful when she was in my hand, but you said I was the most beautiful when she was in her hand?
Then she realized that she had wrongly blamed the magic mirror. She was eating scraps every day, or just black bread. Her nutrition couldn't keep up!
Without nutritional supplements, I feel anxious, and have irregular work and rest hours. No matter how beautiful I am, it is useless. The queen is indeed more beautiful at the moment.
Although she was so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit blood, her cold thinking made Bella realize the problem: "That's wrong?! How do you define the concept of 'world'? Even if the queen is extremely beautiful, she will not be the most beautiful in the whole 'world'
Right?"
According to Bella's observation, there are at most 500 people in the castle. Outside the castle, the fat cook said that there is a town with maybe 2,000 people in it. There may be a few villages in the surrounding area. After all, the country may have a population of just over 10,000.
Could it be said that there are only so many people in this world? Is the whole world just as big as a slap in the face?
The magic mirror did not directly answer her question: "Your magic power is a drop of water, then your beauty is limited to the sky at the mouth of the well. If your magic power is a stream, then you need to let your beauty surpass the entire kingdom."
.”
Bella nodded thoughtfully, she thought she probably understood.
When the magic power is 1, it may be enough to be the class beauty. If the magic power reaches 10, then you must become the school beauty!
If she does not exercise her magic power, maintains the status quo, and stays away from the Queen, the school beauty, and does not have an intersection in appearance with the Queen who also uses three drops of blood to activate her own magic power, then nothing will happen to anyone. It is a typical case of keeping things in check.
.
But in order to make her magic more powerful, she must exercise. As long as she exercises, her appearance must keep up with the growth rate of her magic. The balance between the two must be grasped.
Bella tore off the bustle of her whalebone skirt. In order to cope with today's emergency, she specially wore a pair of trousers underneath. The tassels on the cuffs and the gauze on the neck were all torn off. These were all to cope with being discovered by the soldiers.
The disguise you made is no longer needed! Let’s fight!
"I understand, come with me, can you be smaller?" Bella didn't give any room for negotiation. She estimated that she had some kind of connection with the magic mirror, so the magic mirror and the queen probably also had it. At this time, she destroyed the magic mirror.
, it is indeed once and for all, but while severely injuring the queen, he must also be able to take her away along the way.
She couldn't leave the magic mirror in the queen's hands. What if the old ladies wanted to die together? They had to be taken away!
The magic mirror is very intelligent. After weighing the pros and cons, it turned into a palm-sized mirror according to her request.
Bella hung the mirror on her waist, and when she looked up again, she found that she had returned to the queen's bedroom.
It seemed that it took more than ten minutes to enter the magic mirror space, but in the outside world, she felt that the speed of time might only be one or two minutes. The feeling was very mysterious and did not require much reason. It was just an intuition.
She turned to look outside the door. The two soldiers who had been fighting with the fat cook were awakened by the alarm bell in the castle. They nervously opened the door and looked in, and they happened to meet Bella's eyes.
These two guys must be killed! Once the queen tracks them down, the fat cook who cooperates will be in danger.
Bella was an ordinary person before, but just because she was an ordinary person, she would not watch a good person who was friendly to her lose his life because of his own mistakes.
The dagger was put into the magic mirror space by her. Bella raised her hands high and moved forward instead of retreating, indicating that she had no weapons in her hands.
"Come out! You shameful thief!" The two guards had no idea of Bella's true identity. According to their own values, they made up a story about a thief who was making trouble in the east and west. The fat cook was covering up, and Bella was the one.
Thief.
"Okay, okay, I'll come out right now, I'll come out right now!"
Bella was trembling, shaking all over, as if she was very frightened. In fact, she was in pain now. As the second most beautiful woman in the castle, she was undoubtedly within the suppression range of the queen's beauty. Casting spells within this range would have to be endured.
The backlash of magic.
If she wanted to kill two powerful soldiers in an instant, she and the fat cook couldn't rely on their skills. What could play a decisive role was magic.
She now knows and only knows this one spell extracted from blood.
Touch of ice!
