The faintly discernible mountains in the distance were motionless like guards. Below the mountains was a vast plain. A tall and straight tree flew past the window, and a cup of coffee filled with muddy yellow liquid appeared in the Demon King's vision.
"Have a cup of coffee, the long journey will make people sleepy." Lucia said with a smile as she placed the cup of coffee in front of the Demon King.
"Thank you."
The Demon King said indifferently. He politely picked up the cup and looked at the calm surface of the water.
Inconceivable technology, even on this bumpy road, the carriage didn't shake at all. This carriage must have used some kind of sophisticated magic technology.
The Demon King admired the humans of this world. He was very interested in this kind of magic technology.
"Humph! One look and I can tell that you are a magician who only knows how to pretend to be strong. You even read "Basic Knowledge of Magic". It seems that the so called Adventurer's Guild is not that good after all. "At this time, Nona, who was elegantly drinking her coffee, said sarcastically.
The Demon King's expression didn't change. His heart was as calm as a windless lake. No matter what Nona said, it couldn't affect his calm state of mind. This was the state of a 777 year old man.
It would be strange!
However, under the calm surface of the lake, there was an undercurrent. Although he had lived for so long, the Demon King's emotions didn't fade at all. Instead, he became more sensitive like a child.
"Yes, what a pity, you have to be protected by this kind of person."
He said coldly.
"Ah? Who said I wanted you to protect me? You were the one who came in here and said you wanted to protect us. Hmph, what if something happened? Who knows who would be the one protecting whom? "Nuo Na raised her chin and looked at the Devil King with a strange expression.
"It seems that a certain young lady is very confident in her own strength. Of course, confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is not good." The Demon King retorted.
"Who is overconfident? It is you! You! Not me! It is you, you, you, you! " As Nona spoke, she pointed her finger at the Demon King's nose like a madwoman. She almost poked him in the nose.
A vein popped out on the Demon King's forehead. This woman was truly infuriating. If it was in the past, the Demon King would have brought such an ignorant person ten thousand meters in the sky and thrown her down. After repeating this ten times, he would have brought her around the equator.
At that time, her legs would probably be so weak that she wouldn't be able to stand up.
Unfortunately, he couldn't.
The Demon King was a little angry, but he didn't say anything.
"Hmph! Speechless, third-rate magician, third-rate magician! Third-rate!! "She heavily repeated the word that infuriated the Demon King.
"Nuona, that's too much. He's just working." Lucia frowned and tried to persuade her.
She was right. If it wasn't for work, the Demon King wouldn't be willing to stay in the same carriage as this annoying human. He would rather dig earthworms in the forest with his bare hands than look at this woman.
"Hmph, at least we have received higher education from the Empire!! A magician actually has to sit in the same carriage as a third-rate magician. If my classmates were to find out, they would laugh themselves to death. "Said Nona.
The Demon King's face darkened.
No, he had to find a way to beat this woman up.
"So it's like this. That's amazing. Then you must know what the four major elements of magic are." The Demon King closed his book and turned his head to look at Nona.
Nona gave a disdainful smile and said: "Of course, who do you think I am? I am a second level magician. The four major elements of magic are understanding, imagination, composition and manipulation. Everyone knows this. What's so hard about it? You actually have the guts to ask me this. "
The Demon King's mouth curved slightly and said: "Often the things that everyone knows are the most difficult to understand. Let me ask you, why is magic such a difficult subject to understand? "
"Why do you keep talking nonsense? Isn't it obvious? Magic is an abstract subject. No magic book can guarantee that a person will be able to learn magic. Magic depends on talent. Without talent, you will never be able to learn magic. This is a famous quote from the famous magician Carlisle." Nona replied.
The Demon King rolled his eyes and said: "Maybe what you say makes sense, but it is also a big mistake. In reality, anyone can learn magic as long as they can think."
Hearing this, Nona was shocked. Even Lucia who was standing to the side had an expression of surprise.
"You should know when to stop boasting. If I expose you, you will lose a lot of face. Let me tell you."
Nona's left eyebrow was flat, while her right eyebrow was tilted. She looked at the Demon King with a puzzled expression.
The Demon King sighed deeply. Although this world's magic was indeed developing, but to a certain extent, they were still in a state of ignorance. Their understanding of magic was much lower than the people of his original world.
"Ah, matter is influenced by consciousness. This is the origin of magic." The Demon King said something that the two of them did not understand. They only heard him continue: "Understanding and imagination is actually the meaning of consciousness. Even the control and structure of a spell is determined by consciousness. For example, a fireball spell. If you look closely, everyone's fireball spell has many differences."
"Ah! I know that. " Lucia suddenly interrupted, as if she was very interested in this topic. She said: "Magic differs from person to person. This is the theory of individual differences in magic."
The Demon King nodded and continued, "A hundred mages have a hundred different types of fireball spells. In fact, it's because of the differences in understanding between individuals. This is also the characteristic of diversity in the understanding of magic."
Nona raised her eyebrows and said: "What's the point of saying this? What are you trying to prove with this theory? Do you think this will prove that you are not a third rate magician?"
The Demon King smiled and did not answer her question. Instead, he calmly said: "I don't want to prove anything. I just want to say that the four major elements of magic are wrong."
"Ah!!!"
The two of them were shocked. From their expressions, it was obvious that they were thinking that this person was an idiot.
However, the Demon King did not give them a chance to speak and continued: "In reality, there are five major elements. The missing element is self-confidence."
"Self-confidence?" Lucia blinked, very curious.
"Don't believe him. This third rate magician is just talking nonsense." Nona said with a frown.
"I am not talking nonsense. I am just stating the facts. There was a case where two identical twin brothers were born. The older brother was a positive person, but the younger brother was the opposite. He was not confident in himself, and even had low self-esteem."
"These two brothers were both born in an ancient magician's family. They grew up in an atmosphere of magic research. The older brother easily grasped new magic and displayed astonishing talent. The younger brother was much more clumsy. Not only did he have to spend a long time learning the basics of magic, but his magic was also very weak."
As the Demon King spoke, he drank a cup of coffee and continued: "From the perspective of biological magic, these two brothers are theoretically the same. You could say that they are each other's doppelgängers. Logically speaking, their talent for magic is the same. However, because of their different personalities, their talent for magic is also different. This is the missing element of the four major elements of magic. "
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned for a few seconds. They did not know what to say.
Lucia's mouth was half open. She looked at the Demon King with a face full of admiration and said: "So, so amazing."
Nona also reacted. Her face was dark as she said to the Demon King: "Don't be brainwashed by him! He is just talking nonsense! Hey, as a magician, he dares to make up stories about magic. This is a great disrespect to magic. "
"Everything I said is the truth." The Demon King said calmly.
"Where is your proof? Do you have proof? Are you saying that you are smarter than the Grand Magicians? "Nona said sarcastically.
The Demon King's lips curved and said coldly: "Proof? Of course I have proof. Let me ask you, Miss Nona. "
Seeing the Demon King's cold face, Nona's hair stood on end. She felt a sense of unease.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Do you really know magic?"
She only saw the tree's shadow blocking the window. For a moment, the inside of the carriage was covered by the shadow. The Demon King's face was dark. She had no idea what he was thinking.
