I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies
Chapter 8 The Emperor’s Qualifications
Claire's hometown was located on the border of the Kingdom of Carlisle, in a small town on the eastern Slan Forest Plain. Claire remembered that Forsyth City was under the management of Baron Bulu, but she didn't know much more about the past.
We know the division of power, but April's tattered book is so old that it's doubtful whether it has any reference value.
However, the water in this world seems to be very deep.
Claire learned from a book of strange anecdotes that this world not only has magicians and witches, but also sorcerers, alchemists, wizards and the like.
Moreover, in such a remote place, there is actually a necromancer. If there is a necromancer, then the dead knights and skeleton monsters are not far away.
This knowledge excited Claire. She was eager to learn the power within and then go out and see the world.
"Huh? What is this? Spell model...? Experience witchcraft? What the hell is this?!"
After finishing the introduction, Claire flipped through the other grimoires and silently read the chaotic text. She angrily said, "April, come here quickly! Otherwise, your only disciple will not be able to enter the sect!!!"
After several hours, when the setting sun gradually dyed half the sky red, April hurried back.
She was holding an elegant paper bag filled with tiramisu she had bought from the renowned bakery in Forsyth City.
However, just as April was about to ask Claire how her reading was going, her eyes were drawn to the fireball in Claire's hand.
The condensed flame danced in Claire's palm, like a tamed star, being manipulated at will by her.
"Oh my god, you've already gotten started?"
April was a little shocked. She had been practicing magic for some time and often boasted among her peers that she was a genius.
But now, seeing how quickly Claire mastered the techniques of the telekinetic stage, she couldn't help but begin to doubt her own talent.
Even for a witch, it's too scary.
April cautiously walked over to Claire and took her hands, examining them carefully. Her originally fair and delicate hands now glowed slightly red against the flames.
She not only doubted her life. "Have you learned this before?"
"No."
"You're lying. You must have some basic knowledge of magic." April lied to herself.
However, as April was marveling at her, Claire suddenly realized that her extraordinary talent might not be entirely derived from her characteristics as a witch.
During yesterday's battle in the woods, the mysterious seed in her mind—her "golden finger"—seemed to be constantly strengthening her spirit and physique. This might be the true reason why her cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary people.
However, how the golden finger works is still a mystery. Does it only strengthen me when I'm in danger? Claire thought to herself.
Finally, April uttered:
"Very good, very good. You have the potential to be an emperor."
"What emperor? Emperor Argon?" Claire asked in confusion.
Argon was the founder of this country. After his death, the empire was divided, but the Holy Religion remained.
"But the meditation method seems too old-fashioned. There are more efficient meditation methods nowadays."
April has traveled to various countries in this world and knows the current status of some magic societies.
Magic, especially the magic inherited from ancient times, has entered a dangerous situation today.
Magic has become something purely personal, even a form of pretense. Regardless of whether one comes from an academy or not, everyone seems to be sliding towards this vortex.
In private, within small groups, such as some magical societies, wizards have deviated from the ancient path. A small number of people and groups have monopolized almost all the interpretations of "magic."
In fact, their explanation theory had been expounded by ancient people thousands of years ago. It was just that these arrogant guys, due to some kind of struggle between schools of thought and the cover-up of secular regimes, regarded the past as a myth.
"Of course, this doesn't mean we are any further behind now than we were in the past."
"It's just that in the past, it was the 'law' of the founders, whose understanding of the rules was more direct and fundamental. But now it's more about practical technology, and mages can improve their abilities by simply following it."
April said seriously, "But the consequence of the latter is that your understanding of the Dharma is insufficient, which prevents you from reaching higher realms in the future. This is no joke. No matter what kind of practice you're doing, the foundation is the most important."
"Then why did you say that meditation is too old-fashioned? Isn't that just right?" Claire asked doubtfully.
"Of course, you're on the right track. But since you've mastered the old law so deeply, combined with the speed of the new law, I think it will be even more effective."
Under April's guidance, Claire finally learned the current way of meditation.
According to Miss Witch, the ancient meditation method attempts to keep the mind focused on a certain object through attention.
But this goes against human nature, as people's attention is often affected by external things.
It is to lead people's minds away from all kinds of worldly thoughts, worries, desires, mental burdens, etc. In short, it is "sitting and forgetting".
"But modern magic is more efficient through self-hypnosis, entering a certain state."
April told us several key points.
Soon, under the suggestion of being free from all constraints, Claire felt the "power" flowing around her. Through the communication between her mind and magic, she continuously strengthened her control, achieving the effect of training her spirit.
"Witches are different from mortals and have their own unique characteristics. You can feel them during the meditation stage."
During her meditation, Claire felt that in addition to resonating with the magical elements around her, there seemed to be an even deeper power hidden deep within her spiritual world.
She guessed this was the "Witch's Power." The dazzling light cannon that had destroyed the enemy earlier must have been a manifestation of this power. Was it the power of fire? Or the power of light? Claire couldn't figure it out.
According to April, the characteristics of witches are closely connected with the laws of nature, just like the Wind Witch can control the strong winds at will, and the Water Witch can control the surging water.
Each witch has her own unique power, which is a gift given to them by nature.
"A witch's power should not be shown to others easily."
April never revealed her witch attributes, and Claire didn't ask.
During her travels, April often paid attention to rumors from various places, hoping to find people like her.
However, witches are always good at hiding their whereabouts, making the search difficult. Only when they use their unique witch power can their traces be seen.
Moreover, only witches can sense each other. They all emit some strange fragrance, which April believes is the smell of the soul.
However, she heard that some ancient forces also possessed the secret techniques to find witches. She also heard that some magic societies had a great interest in witches. Some schools of thought believed that the theory of the Creation Age was not groundless, and that witches did indeed hide great secrets.
"Are witches rare?"
Claire was puzzled. It was impossible for her to hide herself like she did, because if she didn't know she was a witch in advance and didn't meet April, she would use her power and expose herself one day.
"Yes. There are very few witches, and if they don't encounter danger, they may never awaken in their lifetime."
"As for exposing yourself...if you're in a remote area, everyone will just think you're a magician. But it's best not to use your witch powers in front of powerful people."
"Perhaps the reason why witches are so rare is related to them."
April talked about her teacher again. Her teacher was not a witch, but an old magician with some knowledge. She taught her how to use her power through some ancient books.
