Chapter 962 - Illusory Morning Light (3)
Chapter 962 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" opens presenting key developments: "Mr. Fischer, hiss... it seems like I hit my head."Fisher quickly stood up, looked at... Read on!
"Mr. Fischer, hiss... it seems like I hit my head."Fisher quickly stood up, looked at the sky, and noticed that the position of the sun hadnât noticeably changed, meaning that time hadnât passed. They had been instantly transported far, far away by Helairâs morning light.
They should be very close to the Phoenix Speciesâ encampment by now. Uncle Chun had informed Helair of the Phoenixesâ current location.
But the problem was, why was it only him and Tangze Asuka left? Where were the three of them?
If it were someone else, Fisher would have suspected a teleportation error, but when it came to Helair, Fisher always speculated about her with the worst possible intentions.
She must have intentionally scattered them.
"Tangze, are you alright?"
Fisher hurried to Tangze Asukaâs side, who was wincing and holding her head, and checked her head. He found no obvious injuriesâshe might have just hit the ground while being teleported. After a while, she seemed nearly recovered,
"Ugh, hey, wait, where are Helair Angel and Mr. Gou Wen? Didnât we teleport to the same location?"
"Hmm, it appears that way now."
Fisher nodded, looked helplessly at the quiet surroundings; his intuition told him that they might still be far apart; otherwise, there would have been some noise within a few minutes.
"Hopefully, Helair really has teleported us near the Phoenix Speciesâ base. Since our destination is the same, we can head there directly to regroup, no need to bother finding them... The Phoenix Species reside in the âWutongâ country, where the monarch is quite ruthless; we must be cautious, letâs go."
"Hmm... hmm."
Tangze Asuka had not fully recovered, but Fisher had already made the decision, prompting her to quickly get up and dust off the white robe she was wearing, and said to Fisher,
"Letâs depart, Mr. Fischer."
"No rush, we need to find out which direction the Phoenix Speciesâ base is first..."
Fisher looked around; the area was filled with primeval forests, making it hard to identify the right direction.
He sighed, sat down, and took out a carving knife, intending to resolve the issue using magic. There were magic emblems good at tracking already, perfect for such an instance.
Just as he was about to pick a suitable stone to engrave magic on, he suddenly remembered something, looking at the eager Tangze Asuka before him,
"Iâm now going to engrave magic to find the direction; since you want to learn magic from me, Iâll take this chance to explain some magical knowledge to you while engraving magic."
Fisher held up the Wind Magic Whirlwind he had previously engraved on a leaf, the one Tangze Asuka had recopied on the wall the night before, and said to her,
"First is the definition of magic. Magic is a human-designed, omnipotent tool that helps humans achieve various specific purposes. It has all the functions you can imagine. Currently, there are over seven thousand known types of magic. Of course, this does not include those designed by mages secretly and not spread out.
"Magic can theoretically achieve any effect you desire, but to make the magic emblem have the effect you want doesnât mean just writing your idea into the emblem. Itâs accomplished through various parts of the emblem, forming the final effect as a whole. In general, when designing a new magic, the mageâs theoretical knowledge accounts for forty percent of its success or failure; the remaining sixty percent depends on luck.
"Why does magic possess such properties? Itâs determined by the nature of magic. The fundamental rule of magic operation is: using the magic power contained within the soul through specific channels and means (the magic emblem), to stir the Reverberation of the World from the Spirit Realm, triggering various changes in reality..."
Fisher paused for a moment, recalling the evaluations of magic he had heard before. He also pondered his duty to guide future Magic Ministers onto the right path. Choosing his words carefully, he added,
"So essentially, magic is an extremely dangerous Forbidden Technique, and one must exercise extreme caution and care when using it."
Tangze Asuka listened earnestly to Fisherâs teachings. Although expected, it was undeniable that learning always came with pain. Yet she focused with a concentration far exceeding anything she had ever shown while studying high-school math, memorizing Fisherâs teachings.
As Fisherâs teaching deepened bit by bit, in the quiet wilderness, only Fisherâs intermittent teaching voice and the rhythmically appropriate sound of the wooden fish was continuously heard.
"Dong... Dong... Dong..."
