In the dark forest, there were decaying trees everywhere. At the edge of the forest, near the foot of the mountain, there was a small flat area.
"Training? Why? "
Reina asked in confusion. In front of her were Lilith and a black-clothed man whose face was covered by ink.
"With your current strength, you won't be able to enter the depths of this forest," Lilith replied.
"But there's no time."
Reina anxiously took out the turbid Heart of the Tree from her pocket and looked at it.
Rinchad turned around and said calmly, "This is the only way. When the Elven King gave you the Heart of the Tree, you already formed a connection with it. In other words, the Heart of the Tree has already parasitized your body. You're the only one who can save it."
Lilith glanced at Linchad. She could sense that Linchad was trying to distance himself from the little girl. So, she went down on one knee in front of Reina and put her hand on the girl's shoulder.
"We'll definitely help you. Trust us."
Linchad glanced at Linchad's back and nodded silently.
Like Linchad, Greer, Dodoro, and the others didn't understand why Linchad wanted to train Linchad at this critical juncture. However, they seemed to trust Linchad's judgment and didn't ask too much. They just casually complained a little.
After breakfast, Greer and Dodoro entered the Dark Forest to investigate. In the morning, Lilith conducted some basic magic experiments on Reina to see how well the little girl understood magic.
However, after volunteering to help, Lilith realized that teaching this little girl wasn't an easy task. She wanted to show Linchad her gentle and patient side, but the truth was …
Lena knelt on a wooden stake, her brows furrowed and her face tensed up. In front of her was a basin filled with water that had been emptied out of wood. She put her hand on the basin and stretched it out like a tiger's paw. Because she was using too much strength, a few small veins popped out.
Lilith smiled as she sat across from Reina. The two of them were separated by a wooden basin.
"Yes, that's it. Inject mana into the water, and then carry out the transformation. First is the qualitative transformation of mana, turning mana into something that actually exists." If Greer were here, he would've said that the sun had risen from the west. Lilith rarely spoke in such a gentle manner.
However, nothing happened in the basin. Although Reina was trying very hard, all she could do was inject mana into the water.
"Uh, there's enough mana in the water now. You can transform it."
Lilith reminded.
Reina's brows furrowed even tighter. She even clenched her teeth, revealing a pair of sharp tiger teeth.
However, what she was doing was not as Lilith had instructed. Instead, she continued to inject mana into the water. At this time, the concentration of mana in the basin was very high.
Lilith's smile faded a little. She felt that something was wrong. Lina's ability to control magic had shocked her. The degree of precision could be said to have reached the level of a senior magus. Considering her age, she could already be considered a genius. But ….
"That … Reina, you don't seem to understand. I said …"
Bang!!!
Suddenly, just as Lilith was speaking, the wooden basin filled with water suddenly exploded with a loud bang. The water in it suddenly flew up into the sky and gave the two of them a sudden rain.
Lilith's smile froze. Her hair was soaked, and the makeup on her face was washed away. Her eyeshadow dripped along the water and turned into two lines of black tears.
She had secretly woken up half an hour earlier to put on this makeup! Now it was all gone!
"You! Here! Damn! What!!! Didn't I tell you to stop?! "
She exploded. Her face was hideous, like an old witch who wanted to eat people.
"I'm sorry!"
Reina was so scared that she covered her face with her hands.
"What's wrong?"
Now that Lynchad had suddenly appeared, Lilith quickly wiped her face. She had turned back into the "gentle" Lilith, but now she looked much more disheveled.
"No, nothing. It's just a small accident."
Lilith said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Reina lowered her head and said.
Linchad immediately knew what happened. He sighed and said, "Let me help. This child can't be taught the traditional way. It has to be special."
Saying so, he came to the two of them and said, "How far are you?"
"The basic changes of magic," Lilith replied.
Lilith replied. She frowned, as if she had something to say.
Linchad knew that Reina had already mastered the three major elements. She shouldn't be troubled by this. He looked at Reina and said, "It's okay. Just use the magic you know."
"But …"
Lilith wanted to say something. Could someone who didn't even know the three basic changes of magic really use magic? Moreover, Reina's special magic was classified as a dangerous gift in magic. Using magic carelessly would only make it more dangerous.
"Okay!"
Reina stood up. She took a deep breath and raised her hands. A ball of fire appeared in front of her.
"Flame Spell!"
Lilith was stunned. She didn't expect her to be able to use magic.
After that, Lina used a completely different type of magic. Freezing and Illumination. These were the three types of magic she was 100% capable of using. There was also the mysterious magic that allowed her to manipulate plants. Aside from the elves, very few humans could use this type of nature magic. Lilith felt that it was inconceivable. It was as if a monkey was reading an obscure book in front of her.
But what surprised Lilith even more was that this girl, who was as soft as a ball to the touch, actually knew the warrior's battle techniques. In other words, the strengthening spell that the Demon King taught her. She jumped up and down in front of the two, showing off her strength and speed.
"This child might be better off as a warrior."
Lilith said with a sigh.
Lynchad didn't say anything. He stroked his chin. From Linnai's reaction, it seemed that her memories of magic had also been erased. However, magic was special in that it wouldn't disappear just because one's memory was erased. It was possible that the user could use it unconsciously.
Strange. Why did the original body do this?
He could only think of one possibility. That was … she had found her family.
"What do we do now?"
Lilith's question brought Linchad back to reality. He turned back to look at Reina, who was still jumping around and kicking stones and wooden poles to show off her strength. "Try to remind her of the three major changes of magic today. After all, magic can't be separated from this."
Lilith's face was full of worry. But she still forced a smile. "Okay, leave it to me."
Then, Linchad left.
When Lena realized that he had left, she froze in place.
"Hmm? Where is he going? "
"The explosion might attract attention. He's protecting our safety," Lilith replied.
"But he's not going to teach me?"
Reina asked with a frown. Lilith looked at her and knew that she had something up her sleeve. Then, she held her head high and said, "No, I'm the one who's going to teach you. After all, I'm the only magician here."
Reina's eyes widened. "But, isn't Brother Linchad a magician?"
"No, he can't. Hmm … he doesn't know magic."
Lilith's words were vague. This shocked Reina. The man she couldn't see didn't know magic?
Why?
It shouldn't be!
She had guessed that Linchad might be the person she was looking for, but he didn't admit it. Reina didn't dare to ask directly. She wanted to find evidence before asking. But after knowing that he didn't know magic, she started to have doubts.
As her master, he should know magic. That was her guess.
"Not even this kind of magic!?"
Lena suddenly clenched her fist, which was emitting a faintly discernible white smoke.
Lilith shook her head. Reina's mouth was half open. It really wasn't him.
But why couldn't she see his face? Strange, too strange.
She was disappointed and stood there in a daze. Lilith didn't notice. She went straight back to the camp and brought a new wooden basin with some water.
"Then let's continue."
Lilith said.
"Okay."
Lena became a little listless, and her mood became a little gloomy.
Lilith thought that she was depressed because she couldn't learn magic, so she smiled and comforted her. "Don't worry, you're very talented in magic. I believe you can do it. How about this, I'll show you the three basic changes of magic again."
She put her hand on the basin, palm facing down. Her magic fell into the water like fine sand and blended into the water.
"Look, this is the first change. It's the most direct change of magic, materialization."
As she spoke, the water in the basin suddenly became turbid. Countless white substances appeared in the transparent water.
"Materialization is to turn mana into something that can be touched. But remember, these substances transformed from mana will disappear, so don't swallow them into your stomach."
Lilith said.
Reina squatted beside the basin and nodded.
Then Lilith continued to explain and demonstrate. Ripples suddenly appeared in the turbid water, and they became more and more intense. The water in the basin was shaking.
"This is power materialization. It can turn magic into direct power. Power materialization will directly affect the speed of magic."
Linnai listened attentively. She still had an eager look on her face. She had a feeling that she had learned these things before, but she couldn't remember it.
"Finally, this is the most difficult change. Energization. It turns magic into pure energy. This is the main factor that affects the power of magic, especially elemental magic." After Lilith finished speaking, the basin suddenly began to emit smoke. Reina felt a gust of hot air blowing in her face. Soon, the water in the basin began to bubble until it began to boil.
"So, as long as we can master these three basics, we magicians can bathe in any environment. Isn't it very convenient?"
Lilith said to Reina with a smile.
"Come on, it's your turn. Don't give yourself pressure. You'll be able to master it."
…
At the front line of the war, the dark clouds disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a sun that was about to roast people. This was a very torturous thing for the soldiers in iron armor, but this was not the main reason for their depression.
The city wall was still standing, and the camp behind it was safe and sound. But the soldiers on the horses all had their heads lowered. Many wounded soldiers with bandages on their heads could be seen in the camp. Their eyes were listless as they sat in the corner.
In the base camp, the generals were also in low spirits. General Xia Long interlocked his fingers and placed his hands on the table. There was an empty seat on his left.
They were so depressed because they lost a battle last night. They lost a lot of combat power, including the warrior who was stationed here. He had not returned yet.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in and hurriedly said, "Sir! Reinforcements have arrived! "
Hearing this, General Xia Long raised his head. His mouth was half open, and then a look of regret and pain appeared on his face.
How was he going to face the old war god, Warrior Anmihu?
The mighty army arrived at the outpost camp, but what was different from what the reinforcements had imagined was that the people who greeted them did not have the usual expression of seeing hope. Instead, they all looked downcast and listless.
Anmihu, who was riding on a horse, frowned. At this moment, a few generals appeared in front of him.
"Welcome, Sir Anmihu. You and your soldiers must be tired after such a long journey …"
"Let's skip the pleasantries. By the way, where is the warrior here? Why didn't he come to see me? "
Anmihu looked around.
The faces of General Xia Long and the others were pale, and their expressions were bitter.
"Warrior An Luo, he, he …"
General Xia Long's stammering made Anmihu guess something. He took a deep breath and asked, "Before answering my question, I'm more concerned about why there are so many injured soldiers. What exactly happened? "
The generals looked at each other, not daring to speak. In the end, General Xia Long explained everything in detail. He had interacted with Anmihu several times and knew that it was useless to hide anything from him.
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Anmihu frowned and said, "Take care of the injured soldiers. Those who can't participate in the battle, let them take off their armor and return to their fields. Reorganize the troops and strengthen discipline to guard against the demon invasion."
"Yes!"
General Xia Long lowered his head. The other party did not mention anything about An Luo, which made him feel very uneasy.
After all, An Luo and Anmihu were relatives, his great-grandson. It was hard to understand why he was so indifferent.
After the reinforcements arrived, General Xia Long went to find Anmihu alone.
"Lord Anmihu, it's all my fault for not stopping your great-grandson. I'm sorry!"
He was about to kneel on the ground, but the War God did something and gently shook his leg. A force supported Xia Long, preventing him from kneeling and forcing him to take a step back.
"Your mistake wasn't that you didn't stop him, but that you sent soldiers out at night. He's not a child anymore. There's no need to blame yourself for his mistakes," Anmihu said.
However, General Xia Long still felt guilty. At that moment, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Lord! There's an emergency, please go to the city gates. "
Hearing this, Anmihu and Xia Long looked at each other and immediately rushed to the city walls.
On the plains, there were four human refugees whose heads and hands were handcuffed to wooden planks. They were carrying a box and walking towards the city wall. There was a spike on their backs that was connected to four chains. As long as anyone stopped, the spike would immediately pierce their backs.
Just like that, they kept walking forward until they reached the city gate.
