In the quiet woodland, a two-story small building is located on the edge of the gurgling stream. Amidst Shandoli's spells, the old branches of dead vines covered the outer wall of the small building, as if it was covered with a dappled brown garment.
The robe makes the small building almost blend into the forest and does not appear to be out of place at all.
"Wow! So awesome, so awesome~" Shu Rui clapped repeatedly: "If it weren't for Sister Sandori, I would have spent a long time building the witch hut!"
Sandoli held the Tongxuan Divine Scepter and chuckled. In addition to her daily practice and work recently, she also traveled to Chaidui Town with the young witch and selected a location to build a witch cabin in the surrounding forest.
Of course this kind of thing was approved by Xuan Weizi. In fact, he was watching from the side at this moment, still holding the musket shaped like a staff in his hand, sitting leisurely on the dead tree and tapping his shoulder.
"If I had brought another birdcage and plated two walnuts, the morning would have passed like this." Xuan Weizi flicked the crystal spell book in his hand, and there was a paragraph in it that mentioned spellcasters like witches.
As the main representatives of ancient witchcraft, witches are characterized by the fact that they are a small number of spellcasters who are good at acquiring and using "magic".
You must know that in an era before the art of spell slots was explored, ancient wizards relied on crude and crude spellcasting methods. In order to obtain the rare magic power, they conducted various bizarre experiments - from chanting strange spells day and night,
You can sit under a waterfall to wash your body, drink liquid stewed with insects, rats, and snakes, or try to live in harmony with black and white livestock.
It's no wonder that in the distant past, the general public was usually full of misunderstanding and fear of spellcasters. Even if there was no holy master who would criticize them as evil black magic, ordinary people would not be able to accept such characters who behaved beyond common sense.
However, witches are different. They have formed a connection with the ubiquitous large source of magic through their familiars early on, thereby gaining the ability to cast spells. Relatively speaking, the witches themselves control only the small source of magic.
Nowadays, the great source of magic that mages associate with witches is generally interpreted as the combination of life vitality and soul essence in the entire natural world. Every living body will have more or less small source of magic, but compared to the use of magic, it is pitifully rare.
.
Only witches who are connected to the great source of magic power through their familiars can have magical attainments far beyond those of ancient witchcraft casters. So much so that in common language, witchcraft is a word derived from witches.
In the past, the Holy Bishop Church also launched several hunting campaigns against witches. However, according to subsequent research at the Pentagram Tower, apart from hanging and burning a group of innocent women, the Church did not actually kill many.
A witch.
The reason for this is not only that witches, as real spell casters, have the ability to resist or escape, but also the secrecy of the witch organization and inheritance model.
Even though mages have become the most mainstream spellcasters and arcane spells dominate the spell system, they still cannot completely decipher the secrets of witches' inheritance. What is recorded in Diant's crystal spell book is only about the original origin of witches.
Maybe it's not a human guess. And the witch's familiar is not the magic pet or magic servant of the mage, it should be a more special existence.
"Even though this thing looks just like a magic pet." Xuan Weizi looked at a fat guinea pig sitting next to him on a dead tree, chewing a stick in his mouth.
Celery stems.
The fat guinea pig felt Xuan Weizi's curious gaze and looked a little scared. He turned away and protected the celery stalk in his arms.
Xuan Weizi could detect that the life force of this guinea pig familiar was emitting tidal-like fluctuations, and had a subtle interaction with the witch Shu Rui. However, this level of connection was similar to that of a mage and his familiar. It was a little special, but still
Not to the point of being bizarre.
"Hey! I brought the broom!" came the cheerful voice of Isei Sotus in the distance, and he was seen holding an ordinary broom in his hand, a wooden pole that was not quite straight, tied with a
A bunch of tough wicker sticks can be used as a cleaning tool for housewives.
"Thank you~" Shu Rui gratefully took the broom, and then started playing with it by herself, as if she was identifying some magical magic item.
"Can I watch your spellcasting?" Isai asked, looking back at Xuan Weizi, as if asking for his opinion.
"Okay." Shu Rui did not refuse: "But the witchcraft of our witches are all weird and not as eye-catching as the wizards. I think you will find it a little boring."
"It's okay, it's okay, you do it!" Yisai stepped back repeatedly, came to Xuan Weizi's side, picked up his notebook and stood respectfully.
The fat guinea pig carried the uneaten celery stalks, ran to Shu Rui's feet, and climbed onto her shoulders. They saw Shu Rui holding the broom upright, standing outside the door of the witch hut, and did not hear her reciting any spells.
, was silent for a while, then put down the broom, walked around the witch's cabin and started... sweeping the floor?
Yes, Shu Rui was seen gently sweeping the ground with a broom. However, in this winter forest, the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, and there was no concept of cleaning it.
Shu Rui is obviously not cleaning. In the absence of any sound and light effects, ordinary people may not be able to detect that she is casting a spell. But Xuan Weizi can detect that as Shu Rui sweeps the area, the flow of material and energy creates internal and external phenomena.
distinguish.
"Is this...a magic barrier?" Xuan Weizi observed and thought.
Magic enchantment is a magical phenomenon that operates on all distinctions between energy and matter. Magic enchantment can act on the human body alone, just like an "anti-death enchantment". It can also expand to a certain range to form a wide-area impact. In short, it is a relatively broad
The concept is also related to the magic circle.
But people like Shu Rui, who has no spell gestures, no spell formations, or even materials for casting spells, can just pick up an ordinary broom and sweep it on the ground to unfold a magic knot.
boundary?
Seeing this scene, Xuan Weizi pondered endlessly, while Sandoli and Aesop didn't understand it at all. They seemed like ordinary people who had never seen magic before and couldn't figure out the situation in front of them anyway.
After Shu Rui took the broom and swept around the witch's hut, an invisible magic barrier enveloped the hut. Xuan Weizi blinked and cast a "detection magic", and found that it was actually the aura effect of the plastic energy system, but
Instead, it forms a magic barrier shield effect that "resists energy damage".
"This... is similar to the form control method, which uses the power of fire control to eliminate the fire. No, it is more like the Qi Forbidden Technique." Xuan Weizi had a flash of inspiration and thought to himself: "The witch's theory of a small source of magic power, no
Is it just to use the internal energy to attract the external energy? Now this is a place where the energy is sent, and the technique of confinement is used to protect the hut? "
Sandoli seemed to have seen some clues, and she said: "What a special spell. It should use free elements to form a barrier?"
Shu Rui rubbed her braids, and her bright smile could not hide her joy: "Yes~ This is the 'secret residence' of our witches, which is similar to the 'sacred residence' of druids and priests. But the 'secret residence' is like I can use it at this level."
Xuan Weizi thought more deeply: "Miss Shu Rui, if I read it correctly, the 'secret residence technique' can be accompanied by the improvement of your witches' personal abilities, and can also be increased, right? It is not difficult to transform once it is cast. 'Holy Judgment'."
"Doctor Olanso, you are so amazing, you can tell at a glance." Shu Rui carried the broom behind her back and swung it around lively.
In fact, Xuan Weizi's plan to set up the Star Gang Altar was first inspired by Tar Valon's "Oak Sanctuary". However, the "Oak Sanctuary" can also be regarded as an altar or mage tower for high-level druids. It itself is named after Plants are the central hub, connected with the four elements and positive energy. Although it is not as sophisticated as the arcane magic circle, it is more closely aligned with the natural environment and is more helpful to druids.
It's just that the scope of the "Oak Sanctuary" is still too small after all. Although there is enough room for hundreds of people to gather, facing Fusman's level of indiscriminate bombing, it is simply an iron snail under the pile driver. Even if "Oak Sanctuary" "Holy Residence" can withstand large-scale attacks, but the surrounding environment has long been bombarded into craters.
Moreover, as a druid's creation, the "Oak Sanctuary" must inevitably be connected with the surrounding natural environment. If the surrounding environment is severely damaged, the protective effect of the "Oak Sanctuary" will be greatly reduced.
So when Xuan Weizi's Xing Gang Magic Altar was not opened, it almost enveloped the entire Huowu City. Fusman's flame spell was very powerful and could equal one to a thousand, but he could not shake the Xing Gang. As for the integrity of the altar, his teacher "Fire Demon" Sidons almost destroyed the Xingang Dharma Altar.
The foundation of the Xinggang Altar is actually connected to the Arcane Star Chart above to re-enact the star field in the sky, and the pulse of the earth below, which is transformed into the flames of the mysterious furnace, attracting the four elements, and condensing positive energy. It can be said to be "the upper level" "In response to the stars in the sky, the Qi of the earth is brought down." Then thousands of immortal spirits were used to occupy the various acupoints and key points of the three eight-view star-gang Dharma altar to stabilize it.
In order to respond to the stars, Xuanweizi has Heng Yizi as a key point; in order to attract the earth's energy, he has also found information about the pulse of the earth from the giant ruins. As for the four elements, Xuanweizi mainly uses the method of controlling gods to sense the spirit of heaven and earth. He breathes, and then internally and externally communicates with each other to control large pieces of invisible art, and accumulates the four elements bit by bit. The progress of casting such a large-scale spell with the power of one person is actually very fast.
Unexpectedly, I saw a faster and more convenient method today. Holding a broom in a circle, it will naturally attract the free four elements to form a protective barrier. Xuan Weizi looked left and right, and saw that the young witch Miss Shu Rui, It's not like she's an expert spell caster. It can only be said that witches have natural expertise in controlling elements.
From this, Xuan Weizi thought of psychic powers. Although transformation psychic powers and plastic energy arcana are connected to a certain extent, Xuan Weizi had to admit that when it comes to controlling elemental energy, pure psychic powers are more powerful than However, arcane magic may not be as good as druids and spirit messengers who specialize in specific elemental fields.
But apart from scratching his head, Xuan Weizi had no choice. Now he could find a way for ordinary people to have access to psychic powers, which was Xuan Weizi's limit.
Xuan Weizi is not sure about expanding the list of psychic powers. As for other people to be as successful in practicing alchemy as himself, that is even more impossible! A bunch of psychic warriors who are still practicing the basic guidance and breathing skills are still
Can we expect them to all succeed?
"But I don't understand how you did it." Xuan Weizi was pondering there, and Sanduoli started talking to Shu Rui. She also took the broom and confirmed again and again that it was an ordinary broom.
, it is definitely not a magic item.
Sandoli turned her gaze over, as if she wanted to get Xuan Weizi's answer.
"You are like chasing a shadow and asking questions. After all, it is the person who is the main body who casts the spell, not the broom." Xuan Weizi looked at the young witch: "Miss Shu Rui, you must not be using the broom.
To use it as a magic item, you should use the broom to induce some kind of hypnosis or stimulation to yourself, so that you can control the magic more smoothly."
"Oh~ I really can't hide anything from Dr. Olanso!" Shu Rui put her hands behind her back and shook her body and said: "I still need some props to assist me now. If it is some powerful senior witch, I can just walk around the hut by myself.
Circle, you can complete the 'Secret Residence Technique'! And it's much more powerful than mine, and the range is much larger."
"It's amazing." Xuan Weizi clapped his hands and said, "By the way, I heard that you are going to use the cauldron to cook the magic potion. Do you need me to ask someone to make it for you? What are the requirements for the witch's cauldron?"
"No, no, no, I'll bring it myself!"
Shu Rui lowered the familiar guinea pig on her shoulder to the ground. The fat guinea pig circled the earth while Shu Rui closed her eyes slightly and opened her arms to control the magic.
Compared with the previous time when the protective barrier was not easily detectable, the surge of magic power this time was very obvious. Xuan Weizi observed carefully and found that the young witch was connected to a more elusive and unpredictable existence.
A green flame surged out of the mud circle dug out by the fat guinea pig, and with a gurgling boiling sound, a large black iron pot with a round belly emerged on its own. There was also a bubbling dark green thick slurry in the pot.
It makes people feel a little nauseous just looking at it.
Shu Rui picked up the big wooden spoon hanging on the side of the cauldron and stirred it with a habitual movement. In short, Sandoli and Aesop, who both knew a lot about alchemy and pharmaceuticals, both showed unpleasant expressions.
"How's it going? Do you want to try it?" Shu Rui asked. When she said this, she scooped up an eyeball of an unknown creature with a large wooden spoon, which made Isai's face turn blue.
"No, no need..."
Sandori didn't expect that such a cute and innocent young witch could calmly get along with such a pot of stuff for a long time, and even she felt a little frustrated.
However, Xuan Weizi applauded and praised: "Okay, it turns out that the cauldron is bound to the witch herself. This time it really opened my eyes."
Xuan Weizi said this, but secretly said to Sanduoli through telepathy: "Please help me take good care of this witch and try to get some knowledge from her about how witches obtain magic power. If you ask
