Chapter 3650 "Learning"
The new weakening effects of the four locks seem useful, but upon closer inspection, they don't seem to be very useful, but strictly speaking, they are not completely useless.
"However, the Cinderella story has a really high degree of expandability. Normally, she can not only go home, but now she can also change clothes and has had intimate relationships."
He immediately tested the effect of the new feature of the [Key to the Gate], first using the magic to turn the illusory key clockwise once:
"Water of wisdom".
The illusion of a longsword stuck in the middle of the lake flashed by, and then a clear, colorless liquid appeared in the empty water glass in Shad's hand.
He tasted it himself and didn't feel any sudden enlightenment. Then he poured it into Mia's special water bowl, and the cat also came over to taste it. Shad didn't feel that Mia's eyes had become more intelligent either.
"The effect doesn't seem to be very obvious."
As for the enhanced illusion lock effect after reversal, making it more realistic, it's similar to adding another lock to one's own illusion lock, making its spatial properties more stable, thus producing this effect.
Unfortunately, Shad doesn't have enough spirit to unlock the lock right now, so this ability will have to wait for another attempt.
The last new feature added to the [Key to the Gate], namely the ability to consume White Stone Crystals to seal the entrances and exits of the "Space Labyrinth," was something Shad never expected.
This was the first magical technique Shad had encountered that could directly affect the spaces left behind by the Old Gods, which was certainly extraordinary. Even the Chosen Ones could only use the spaces left behind by the Old Gods, not control them at will.
The Key to the Gate was obtained by Shad through the Old God's "Radiant Gate." He guessed that the Old God had left some kind of authority for this Old God, and that he had accidentally obtained this authority through the sublimation of magic.
He immediately went to his basement to try it out and found that the effect did indeed disable a road sign somewhere, but it had no effect on him:
"So now I can prevent others from easily coming to No. 6 St. Delan Square through the basement, while I can come and go as I please. But only the girls around me come through the spatial maze. If we encounter a spatial maze entrance with a sensitive location in the future, we can lock it."
In summary, the choice to upgrade the Key to the Gate to a magical art was indeed correct. Enhancing the lock-picking ability, gaining a weakened version of the Maze's properties, strengthening the Maze's effect without increasing spirit consumption, and sealing off spatial labyrinths are all useful to him.
Therefore, Shad couldn't help but imagine what characteristics would appear if the [Traveler's Camp] could also be linked to the [World], but such an opportunity could only be seized by waiting for the Tree Father to provide the corresponding reward next time:
"Miracle - [World] is indeed an exceptionally powerful spirit rune."
As for the remaining leaf, that is [Transfiguration - Snake].
Shad was still somewhat hesitant to use the leaf. Although he didn't have the same extreme aversion to snakes as the pointy-eared elves, he didn't have much affection for them either.
"Do I really need to learn this extraordinary skill?"
Shad held the leaf, thinking that if he mastered this magic, he would undoubtedly transform into a large, silver snake. The thought of himself as a long, soft creature crawling on the ground or coiling around a tree immediately filled him with an instinctive unease. Moreover, Emilia wasn't the only girl around him who disliked snakes; Dorothy didn't seem to like them much either.
While Xia De hesitated, "she" gently offered her advice:
If you don't like a certain power, don't force yourself to master it. The Tree Father doesn't forcibly bestow power upon you, but rather gives it to you by hiding it within the leaves, which also implies that you have the right to choose.
Not learning powers that one dislikes is a fundamental principle for ring sorcerers. Even if one forcibly masters a power that is not suitable for oneself, problems will inevitably arise in the end.
But transforming into a snake isn't an evil ability; it's utterly insignificant compared to [Blood Wine Brewing] and [Blood Seed Parasite]. Shad considered it for a while longer, but ultimately decided against using the leaf.
"It's just Transfiguration anyway. I'll just learn it on the spot when I really need it."
With that thought in mind, he tucked the unique leaf into Adele's pocket watch.
He currently possesses five [Leaves of Immortality], a considerable reserve. The last leaf he gave away was a gift to Daniste at the end of the year, and the two keys he completed after the holiday yielded three leaves. Shad is now considering who to give the extra leaves to:
"Iluna will probably use up some leaves, so we can give her another one to stock up. Let's ask on the ship; there should be someone who needs them."
Of yesterday's haul, the snake molt, snake eyes, snake blood, and snake heart were intended for Luvia and Bella to handle, as these were all items the diviners could use.
As for the two curved arcs and the Ring of War, Shad felt it would be nice to break them into dice or coins, but on the other hand, he was considering whether he should forge "The Edge of Destiny".
After all, only fate can defy fate, and "Mr. Snake" is essentially fate itself. He just happened to obtain "Star Fragments" after defeating the Fallen Star Beast, which are excellent vessels for fate, sufficient to bear its power.
Because Sister Daphne said she would visit her again that evening, and because "Star Drops" could only be used at night, Shad did nothing else that morning.
He dealt with the backlog of academic papers at home, and then went to the college at 9:30 a.m. to discuss yesterday's events with Denise.
Unfortunately, Shad didn't see Emilia this Saturday. The elves planned to hold a coronation ceremony before spring arrived, and it was already the 16th day of the Starry Moon, not long before the first Randall flower bloomed.
Do you want to learn the power of the stars?
The administrator also asked Xia De that morning:
"Although there aren't many spells about the power of stars circulating in modern times, the library still has some, which were compiled by the librarians of the previous era. If you're interested, you can try to learn them, but I don't recommend that you spend too much energy on this."
Shade smiled and shook his head in refusal:
"Since I haven't obtained the spirit runes yet, I won't learn them for now. Besides, Sister Daphne might be able to extract some decent star power from the ashes of the firewood tonight, and that will be enough."
The administrator recalculated the time:
"So, can you still use the method you used last night, which simulates lunar phases to influence the power of the stars?"
Xia De shook his head regretfully:
"That power comes from the eyes of the moon beast and the stars given by the gods; once it's used up, it's gone."
"Could you create a weaker version of the magical arts based on what you learned back then?"
"this."
"Let's demonstrate the situation again; maybe we can learn something from it."
However, instead of having Shad demonstrate in the library, she took him to the tower behind the library and then all the way to the top. The learned sorceress then mentioned that being closer to nature was necessary to better utilize the power of the stars, so the two of them entered a "celestial state."
She then clasped hands with Shad and had him lead her in the demonstration.
"Isn't this a bit inconvenient?"
Shad said, and then the young girl Daniste thought for a moment:
"You mean the fit isn't good enough? That's easy to do."
And so the silver moon and the red moon merged together, and she blushed and smiled triumphantly:
"See, isn't this how it works?"
So that morning they didn't study the phases of the moon or the power of the stars. The librarian used the excuse of studying to spend a full two hours inside the tower with her young and handsome student.
Afterwards, she defended herself, looking refreshed:
“Shad, although you didn’t learn much this morning, at least I checked your health. No problem, yes, I’m pretty sure you’re very healthy.”
The last adjective seems to have some issues.
Xia De was only "let go" after promising to contact her again if he needed anything. Besides the farewell kiss, he also took away a packed lunch from the academy cafeteria, which the librarian's assistant had delivered to him at the foot of the tower when he left.
The administrator calculated every second to ensure that the health check could be conducted thoroughly and completely.
When she said goodbye to Shad, she even thought about where she would stay once her teacher returned successfully. As for having her teacher live in this tower as well, she didn't have that idea at the moment.
(Mia is running.)
That afternoon at the group study session, Xia De, having eaten with Xiaomia at home and having nothing to do, arrived half an hour early and began talking to the doctor about what had happened the day before:
"My intuition is never wrong. The Ring Beast was definitely corrupted by the Demon King's blood. If it weren't for the fact that I happened to have the ability to restrain the power of the Star, there would have been a big problem last night. That beast formed from the Star and Fate was no easier to deal with than the [False Human House].
The power of the False House is dispersed; its true form is a house, but the beast possesses all of its power.
Shad sat on the sofa, petting the cat, and described the appearance of the last enormous evil beast. The doctor stood at the window of the reception room, hands behind his back, looking through the glass at the smog-filled city view. After a moment, he turned to Shad, his blue eyes looking at him, and asked:
"This is the second drop of blood, right?"
"Yes, since the other party dares to use blood so easily, it means it has at least one more drop. The consequences of those two drops of blood are terrifying. Doctor, you need to come up with a solution as soon as possible. For example, think of a way from the perspective of a Witcher."
The doctor shook his head clearly:
"No hunter has ever seen that thing. I can say with certainty that it was sealed away before the Third Era. Even the hunters of the Third Era are unsure whether it truly exists or is just a strange rumor."
The hunters only learned of its existence from some communicable evil spirits and demons; in reality, they knew no more than the two of us.
But after preparing for so long, Bill Schneider wasn't truly without ideas:
"Since the main body of that thing can be sealed, and the various fragments that it split off from can be sealed, then even a drop of blood can certainly be sealed. Detective, have you ever thought about how I sealed that power within my own body?"
Shad blinked:
"Okay, I admit I hadn't considered it. Relying on your unwavering will and well-trained body?"
