After complaining, it was time to get down to business.
If it had been an unorthodox mage, they would have been at their wit's end in this situation. They could only take it one step at a time. At best, they could act according to the situation, but at worst, they could only bite the bullet and do it. But Yue Yi was not an unorthodox mage. She came from the only magic school in the northwest. Her teacher was a top-notch mage who stood at the threshold of the legendary realm. From time to time, she could also listen to the teachings of another top-notch mage who also stood at the threshold of the legendary realm. Sometimes, even the incarnation of the great God of Knowledge would descend to teach her.
In the entire Main Plane, except for the Highest Tower, where the incarnation of the God of Spellcasters, Ymir Lamperus, sat, there was no other magic school that had such high-level teachers. Although it was still limited by time, and the students of Isuka Magic School had not yet grown to the level of brilliance, many of her senior classmates had already become mid-level mages. Even she herself, if she had not needed to lay a good foundation, could have reached that level by now.
The price of spending a few more years laying a foundation was that her spellcasting level could not keep up with the geniuses of her age. But the benefit was that the knowledge and skills she had mastered were far beyond the level of ordinary mages.
For example, she knew how to set up a magic array, and a rather high-level one at that.
The chief mage of the Church of the Void Mask, Mr. Satan, who was known as the "Sage of Purification," had spent many years researching a wonderful magic array that could effectively clean up negative energy pollution.
This magic array was quite complicated, and it involved several different links. If he didn't receive Mr. Satan's careful guidance, even if he found a pre-drawn magic array and drew it exactly the same, he still wouldn't be able to make the magic array truly work.
The key was to calculate the flow of energy according to the surrounding veins, and finally contain the energy in this area, turning it into a closed circle.
If there was negative energy in this circle, it would become the power to stimulate the magic array and push it to operate. With the characteristics of positive and negative energy, it would attract positive energy from the other world. Not only could it completely offset the negative energy, but it could also create a weak positive energy environment that was conducive to the reproduction of living beings.
Among the students of Isuka Magic School, except for the two seniors who had learned from the principal before the school was founded and were now teachers, only Yue Yi knew how to set up this magic array.
The person who taught her this was not Principal Felix, but a friend of hers, Miss Nice.
Miss Nisse was one of Mr. Satan's direct disciples. Back then, Yue Yi had gotten to know her, and it could be said that it was a very strange fate. But that was a long story, so it was better not to say it. In short, the two of them had a very good relationship, so Miss Nice taught her the skills that the teacher was most proud of.
What Yue Yi did not know was that this also meant that she had gained the recognition of the two Magicians of the Church of the Void Mask and had stepped into the core circle of Spell Casters.
This had nothing to do with her parents being Legendary powerhouses. It was just that her talent and character had been recognized.
She was outstanding in terms of personality, talent, and intelligence. Although she liked to throw a tantrum at her parents, that was her only shortcoming.
If she had not tested her many times in the open and in the dark to confirm her reliability, how could Miss Nice have passed on the greatest achievement of Mr. Satan's life to her?
With her current conditions, of course, it was impossible for her to set up a complete Purification Array. However, it was still possible for her to make a small Purification Array.
It was already past noon. If she wanted to set up this Purification Array by herself, she might not have enough time. Fortunately, she still had her teammates.
"You said that we have to go outside the castle and set up a Magic Array in the open space outside. Then, when the sky turns dark, we will retreat into the Magic Array and spend the night inside. Is that right?" The apprentice knight who was the captain asked. "That means that we have to sleep outside … Is it really necessary?"
"I also hope that it is just a waste of effort," Yue Yi said confidently. "But I believe that compared to the reward for completing the task and avoiding the risk of 'fighting with evil spirits at night', it is worth it to sleep outside."
Her confident look convinced everyone. So, the people who were supposed to carefully search the castle while it was still early walked out of the castle and set up a Magic Array in the courtyard.
Setting up a Magic Array was a very meticulous job. Ordinary people were definitely not suitable for it. Many stories also emphasized this point. But to Yue Yi, these were not problems.
The key to the Purification Array was the nodes, and these nodes were naturally made by her, so there would be no mistakes. What her companions were responsible for was just to clean up a wide enough flat ground, and then dig ditches on the ground according to her requirements to form a very simple Magic Array.
Yes, the basic formation diagram of the Purification Array was actually very simple. It was so simple that even laymen were unlikely to make mistakes, let alone professional spellcasters.
When Josh, the "Red Flame Dragon", led a group of people to set up the huge Purification Array that covered the entire Pyroxene Town, now called Pyroxene City, the main excavation work was done by a group of ordinary strong men. Those people did not know anything related to magic at all. As a result, the Magic Array worked very well. After so many years, there was not even a single problem.
Although Yue Yi's virtual adventuring companions weren't very skilled, they had seen pigs walking even if they hadn't eaten pork before. They wouldn't be any worse than a group of ordinary strong men.
In fact, they did a really good job.
With the help of the apprentice priests, the Magic Array had been excavated and set up about an hour before dark.
Compared with her companions, Yue Yi was slower in making the magic nodes. Until now, she had only completed four-fifths of the work. According to her estimation, she might not be able to complete all the work until the sun went down.
This was because this body was, after all, not Yue Yi's own body. There were many subtle differences in the work, so she made several mistakes that she should not have made at the beginning and wasted a lot of time.
Fortunately … there should be enough time.
Yue Yi was not in a hurry at all. She cut pieces of wood into the shape of nails and carefully carved complicated patterns. Every time she finished a nail, she and her companions would nail it into a node of the Magic Array.
Just like that, she went on unhurriedly, and the speed actually gradually became faster. When the red sun completely set in the west, leaving only the afterglow to illuminate the earth, the last wooden nail was also nailed into the ground, completing the entire Magic Array.
At that moment, everyone seemed to see a flash of white light, but the white light was fleeting, as if it was just an illusion.
However, the sudden fresh feeling in the air was definitely not an illusion!
"Now, let's see if the evil spirit will come to attack us." Yue Yi patted off the sawdust on her body and said with a smile, "I actually hope that it will attack tonight. The sooner we finish the fight, the sooner we can go back and claim the reward."
Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
