The function of the Staff of Hermes is only to lock the flow of vitality, rather than solving the problem of vitality consumption from the source.
Once you leave the Staff of Hermes one day, the life force owed to the holder will be returned at once, and you will age and die instantly like Cassandra.
After officially obtaining the third method, Lu Xiao's potential vitality crisis was finally relieved.
After the materialization of the soul is completed, Lu Xiao's soul body automatically generates an endless magic circle, which is equivalent to having a perpetually moving magic heart in the body, and there is no need to worry about the consumption of magic power.
It will take time to explore more functions of the third method. In addition to unlimited magic power and infinite life, Lu Xiao also discovered other uses of the third method.
The alchemy of the Einzbern family usually requires a lot of precious magic materials. Taking into account the losses caused by failure, the cost of each generation of the Small Holy Grail is very scary. Only a big magic family with a long tradition like the Einzbern can afford it.
Affordable.
After comprehending the third method, Lu Xiao unexpectedly discovered that he could now easily create certain alchemy products that required specific materials. The only materials required were soil and air that could be found everywhere.
"Alchemy... no, it should be called refining ability."
With the help of the infinite magic power of the soul's perpetual motion machine, Lu Xiao randomly absorbed materials from the surrounding environment to create a lifelike simulated bird, using part of Cheng Zi's puppet technology and Einzbern's alchemy.
The left hand is slightly raised, and the bird that receives the signal spreads its wings and takes off. From the outside, it looks no different from the real bird.
"This...the third method has already touched the edge of the divine realm."
Lu Xiao had a feeling that he could master both the art of making dolls and materializing souls at the same time. If he had that kind of idea, he could even create the most advanced autonomous dolls that looked the same as humans and had the ability to think for themselves.
Lu Xiao is not yet able to create all things like God, but on a local scale, he does have similar abilities.
I just don’t know if this ability is only effective in the Xingyue world view or if it is common to all worlds.
The five great magic arts of Xingyue are all interceptions of the rules of the world, and each magic has an ability that can be called heaven-defying.
The second method mastered by Gemstone is mainly reflected in the space ability. The fifth method inherited by Aozaki Aoko is not yet known. In addition to the powerful destructive power, the fifth method can borrow time for a short period of time, but it needs to be used after a certain period of time.
Return.
"Huh~"
Dispersing the dangerous thoughts in his mind, Lu Xiao patted his cheek and hinted to himself: "No, you can't lose your awe and humility. It's just a mere puppet making technique, and it's still far away from the real divine realm."
Intuition told Lu Xiao that there would still be a big gap in essence between the simulated doll he made and the real person, and a rash attempt might cause serious problems.
Lu Xiao is not a magician who is good at committing suicide. The sixth sense derived from the Isu people has saved his life from crises countless times. He has always believed in the early warnings from the soul.
He would not risk trying it before further analyzing the usage of the third method.
The wild magic power connected to the Great Source blew the items in the workshop into a mess. Lu Xiao left Aletheia to help organize them, and went outside the workshop alone to greet the guests.
Rin, who came in a hurry, was blocked by the barrier of the workshop. At this time, she was anxiously pacing back and forth at the gate. Sakura and Fujino were trying to persuade her.
When Lu Xiao opened the barrier and the door, an anxious Lin rushed in immediately: "Lu Xiao! What are you doing! If you make such a big noise, do you think I, the manager of Fuyuki, don't exist?!"
"Ah~" Lu Xiao deliberately made a surprised expression and patted his forehead: "It seems that this is indeed the case."
Smiling evilly and flicking Lin's forehead lightly, Lu Xiao said jokingly: "Now Fuyuki's magic manager is you, a little kid. Your presence is so thin that I completely forgot about it."
"Lu Xiao!!"
…
The Tohsaka sisters had long known that Lu Xiao was studying the third method. Although Rin, who had also entered the root, always complained, she had always been convinced that Lu Xiao would succeed.
Lin also reached the root, and was given core knowledge related to the second method from the root. A simple guess can guess the reason why Lu Xiao suddenly studied the third method.
"So, you succeeded?"
Lin curiously circled Lu Xiao, as if she wanted to see what was different about him after he understood magic.
Lu Xiao rolled her eyes helplessly: "Stop turning, it will make me dizzy."
Unlike the arrogant Rin, Sakura was the first to directly congratulate Lu Xiao.
Fujino has not entered the world of magic for a long time, and her adoptive father Kariya is still tutoring her in the world of magic.
As the pinnacle of the magic world, the five major magics are the focus of Kariya's first lesson. Fujino also looked at Lu Xiao with surprised eyes at this time. She did not expect that the legendary magician would appear in her life circle like this.
After habitually teasing Rin to the point of irritation and relaxing her mood, Lu Xiao started talking about business.
"After successfully comprehending the third method, it's almost time for me to leave this city."
Rin, who was lying on Lu Xiao's back and biting his ear, suddenly stopped, and Sakura suddenly took a deep breath.
"Hmph~"
Lin jumped off Lu Xiao's back, pretended to be strong and turned her head to the side and snorted: "I guessed it a long time ago."
"The appearance of every magician is unparalleled news for the magic world. Within two days at the latest, people from the magic association will rush to Fuyuki to 'pay their respects.'"
"If you don't want to deal with that group of Clock Tower magicians who are scheming all day long, leaving early is the best choice."
Lu Xiao stretched out both hands and patted Lin and Ying's little heads respectively.
"Sakura's health is fine. With Kariya's help taking care of her, she will surely grow into an outstanding magician."
"Not to mention Rin, maybe one day in the future, you will replace Gemstone and become the new second magician."
Putting aside his joking attitude, Lu Xiao gently hugged the two sisters, whose eyes began to shed tears, into his arms to comfort them.
"Don't be so reluctant to leave. It's not like I'm leaving forever. Whenever I have the chance, I will return to Fuyuki to visit you again. I hope that by then you will all have become independent magicians."
Looking up at the quiet girl standing a little further away, Lu Xiao said to Fujino encouragingly: "Fujino, you have a relatively calm personality. I won't say anything more. I hope you can help me take care of these two little guys in the future.
.”
Since regaining her sense of touch, Fujino's spiritual growth has been astonishing. She is like a sponge actively absorbing a large amount of knowledge and common sense, and her mental age is close to that of an adult woman.
Fujino solemnly nodded and said: "Mr. Lu Xiao, please rest assured that Rin and Sakura are my important friends, even family members. We will support each other's growth and wait patiently for the day when you come back to test the results."
"That's good."
Lu Xiao smiled happily: "In this way, I can leave with peace of mind."
