The spell that Hiri had painstakingly constructed was instantly dissolved by Josiah, which greatly affected Hiri's confidence and fighting spirit.
But driven by her desire to survive, Hiri still mobilized the magic in her body. The pale white magic light formed a sharp arrow and shot towards the direction of the door.
The impact just now had extinguished the candles in the room. Hiri could only rely on the light emitted by the magic inscriptions around her to see clearly. But from a human's point of view, the range of her vision was only about one or two meters.
Did I hit?
Hiri clenched the staff in her hand and looked around vigilantly. At the same time, she began to quickly construct the lowest level of the spell, "Illumination."
The moment the spell was completed, a white ball of light slowly rose beside Hiri. The light also dispelled the darkness in the room and the person standing in front of Hiri … Josiah.
When this female magic apprentice saw Josiah suddenly appearing in front of her, the panic in her heart instantly exploded. She screamed and directly raised the staff in her hand towards Josiah without even having the time to construct a spell.
It was a pity that this female magic apprentice was far too weak, and Josh was able to easily grab onto her arm.
Hiri didn't feel any pain when her arm was grabbed. Josiah used very little strength. He didn't mean to hurt her. He just blocked Hiri's rash … physical attack.
Dominated by panic, Hiri tried to break free from Josiah's grasp. She succeeded … Josiah let go of her arm. At the same time, Hiri also took a few steps back, distancing herself from Josiah.
She forced herself to calm down. The delicate magic wand in her hand once again appeared unknown inscriptions. She began to prepare the next offensive spell. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on Josiah. If Josiah did anything rash, she didn't mind risking the risk of losing control of her magic and dying with Josiah.
"I advise you not to be so impulsive, unknown magician."
To Hiri's surprise, Josiah didn't intend to continue to attack. Instead, he picked up the candle on the table and lit it.
During the time when Josiah was lighting the candle, Hiri seized the time to construct a new offensive spell. However, her eyes noticed that Josiah was pointing at her neck.
My neck?
Hiri was slightly stunned. At this time, Hiri discovered the abnormality on her neck. It seemed that something was tied to her neck.
This strange feeling caused Ciri to turn his head to look at the mirror beside him. Using the light from the Illumination Spell, Ciri could clearly see that a … red crystal had appeared on his neck at some point in time.
This gemstone-like crystal was sewn onto a black ribbon. Those who were not in the know might think that this was some kind of expensive necklace, and a rather expensive one at that.
But Hiri clearly knew that she didn't have the money to buy such an expensive thing like a ruby!
She didn't know when the demon had forced her to wear it.
When Hiri looked at Josiah again, she found that Josiah was holding the same red crystal in his hand.
In order to demonstrate the role of this crystal, Josiah gently threw it on the ground. The moment the crystal fell to the ground, a destructive explosion occurred with the crystal as the center. The sound echoed throughout the room.
"…"
Hiri looked at the cracked floor because of the explosion. She had completely forgotten what magic she was going to build. She immediately wanted to tear this thing off her neck with both hands.
The power of the crystal explosion was not strong. It was barely enough to separate Hiri's head from her body.
This thing was also one of the Third Prince's masterpieces. Josiah casually touched it on the workbench. It was a … useful little tool.
"Don't waste your energy. With your strength, you can't break free from this thing."
Can't break free? Isn't that the same as a slave's collar?
Ciri instantly realized just how dangerous the situation he was in was.
This demon did not take her life immediately, but put this thing on her …
Ciri gritted her teeth. She had already made up her mind to protect her chastity, even if it meant death.
But … wait a minute. Is chastity more important than my life?
Ciri spent a short two seconds thinking about it, and in the end, he came up with an answer … No!
"What do you want from me?"
Hiri used the last bit of courage in her body to ask Josiah.
"What do I want? I want a lot of things. First, let's start with your name. What's your name? "
Josiah took advantage of this time to light up all the extinguished candles in the room. The illumination spell released by Hiri also gradually disappeared.
"I'm … Hiri."
Considering her own life, Hiri thought for a moment and chose to answer truthfully.
"Hiri? Do you know a Gwent card player called Geralt? The one who has a sub-profession as a witcher. "
The name Hiri was quite familiar to Josiah. She was the adopted daughter of the male protagonist Geralt in The Witcher 3. However, this female magician's personality was a bit similar to Hiri in The Witcher 3.
"Who?"
She did not know any witchers. If she did, she would not have ended up like this.
"Take it as me asking an unnecessary question. Next, I want to know what kind of magic you used."
This was what Josiah desperately wanted to know. The magic used by this female magician was obviously different from the magic of the Chaos Devil.
She could use her magic to influence and even control the things around her. For example, she could use a book as a weapon.
This was something that the magic of the Chaos Devil would never be able to do.
If he wanted to completely destroy this room, Josiah was confident that he could do it within a minute. As for using magic to move something, Josiah believed that even the Lord of the Realm of Demons might not be able to do it.
It was this magic that was full of destruction and disorder that made the plan to control the images in the protocrystal become empty talk. Josiah did not even know where to start.
However, the magic that Hiri used gave Josiah a glimmer of hope.
"This is the power bestowed by the God of Order, Loyd. The power of order and rules."
Hiri had always been proud of her identity as a magician. When she introduced her power to others, she had no reason to hide it.
From Hiri's explanation, Josiah understood that the people of this world seemed to believe that 'magic' was bestowed by the gods. Different gods bestowed different types of magic. The magic that Hiri possessed represented order and control. Her school of magicians was also known as white magicians. Other than that, there were also many gods who could control fire, lightning, and many others.
To use the game consoles on Earth as an analogy, it was like Sony's PS4, Microsoft's Xbox, and Nintendo's Switch. Every player could choose according to their preferences. There were games that were common among the consoles, and there were also exclusive games. Each had their own advantages and benefits.
God …
In this world that was filled with magic and demons, the appearance of gods was already not surprising to Josiah. But the power of magic was bestowed by the gods?
Josiah had reservations about this theory for the time being. Whether it was bestowed by the gods or not, in order to find a way to edit the images in the protocrystal, Josiah had to master this stable magic.
