What kind of girl would travel to another world?

The previous chapter said that beside the campfire in the mountains, three elves were listening to Wei Qingping telling about the hardships she had experienced along the way.

Miosimo was shocked as he listened. After thinking for a while, he asked his two other elf companions, "What do you think?"

One of the male companions remained silent, but the other female companion spoke up. She said, "Saving people is the most important thing, and getting rid of the traffickers and cult members while we're at it."

The male companion said, "It's a house in the mountains, right? I'll go first and let you know when I find it." After that, his body slowly floated upwards, and then a gust of wind came, and he flew away with the wind.

Wei Qingping was stunned when she saw that person could fly. She thought to herself, "Wow! So cool! What kind of magic is this?"

Mioshimo saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "He cast the 'Wind Riding Technique' of hurricane magic, you can't learn it." After that, he handed the food to Wei Qingping.

Wei Qingping hurriedly took it and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls. As she chewed, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, which made people feel distressed.

The other two did not say anything, but turned their heads away at the same time, unable to bear to watch any longer.

After she finished crying, Wei Qingping suddenly said in confusion: "I've been running for many days, without food or water, but I didn't die of hunger or thirst. Is it because of God's blessing?"

Miosimo said, "It seems that you have not only mastered the earth magic technique of burrowing, but also possessed the 'blessing of the earth element'."

Wei Qingping asked, "The blessing of the earth element? What is that?"

Miosimo replied, "From what you've said, your blessing should be effective in gaining life energy just by being close to the earth."

Wei Qingping thought to herself, "Is this the effect that allows me to go without food and drink? Then I haven't become an immortal. No, I've become a plant." Then she asked, "Then how did I receive this 'blessing of the earth element'?"

Miosimo patiently explained, "There are two ways to obtain 'elemental blessings.' As long as you're identified as an 'earth mage,' you'll have elemental blessings. This is the first way. The second way is elemental worship. Elemental worship is an ancient practice that also grants believers elemental blessings." He paused after his explanation and continued, "You've been identified as a prophet. Even if you have earth magic, you won't directly receive the blessing of the earth element. Think about it, have you ever unintentionally worshipped an element?"

Wei Qingping became more and more confused and said, "I can't remember if I have ever done anything to worship the elements..."

Miosimo said, "Practicing elemental worship doesn't necessarily mean you'll receive elemental blessings immediately. Perhaps you've practiced elemental worship a long time ago, but only recently received it. Don't worry, take your time to think about it. Once you remember, remember to maintain your piety from time to time. After all, the One God is our primary worship. Don't be like the half-demons who only worship the fire element."

Miosimo fiddled with the campfire, and then said, "Although I suggest you perform some elemental worship, I also have to warn you. Never think that you can obtain more and stronger elemental blessings by performing elemental worship in more or more evil ways. Someone once became obsessed with this and eventually went down a path of no return. Many people think that as long as they increase their own elemental worship, they can obtain more and stronger elemental blessings. In fact, they have misunderstood. The effect of elemental blessings on people varies from person to person." At this point, he looked like he was thinking of something unhappy, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

After a long silence, Miosimo continued the previous topic, saying, "I'll tell you a true story I witnessed. There was once a holy mage in our clan. Although he wasn't certified as an elemental mage, he still received elemental blessings through elemental worship. Moreover, the effect of the elemental blessing he received surpassed that of a certain elemental mage, even though that elemental mage practiced elemental worship more devoutly. Therefore, I speculate that the actual effect of elemental blessings is entirely based on personal talent."

At this point, Miosiemo and his female companion suddenly stood up. The male companion who had used the wind-riding technique had sent them a message using the wind-speaking technique. Miosiemo said, "Napret has found the location of the house. The traffickers and the kidnapped girls are all there." This was said to Wei Qingping.

Miosimo picked up his bag and said, "Thanks to you taking a dagger and disrupting the cult ritual here, we've completely purified this place. This once again proves that you are indeed the one chosen by the gods. Evelysa and I are about to set off. After we deal with the cultists and the human traffickers, we will return immediately to inform the rest of the tribe. Take care of yourself." The "Evelisa" he was referring to was the female elf companion who was traveling with him. Before leaving, Miosimo left some food for Wei Qingping.

The two elves left together. Watching them disappear into the distance, Wei Qingping prayed for the girls kidnapped by the traffickers to be rescued. She sat vacantly by the campfire for a while before suddenly remembering her bag was still in the cave. Her first order of business was to return to the cave to retrieve it.

Let’s talk about Qi Xinyang’s strategy for the dungeon located in the Weeping Blood Pit.

The rock she flung struck the far wall of the cave, immediately alerting several petrified moths within. They all cast spells. She saw these "pig-headed" petrified moths covered in a layer of rock armor. At the time, she didn't know the name of this spell was "Stone Body."

She thought to herself, "Am I going to turn into Li Guang? I might as well shoot through the rocks and leave my name in history!"

At this time, for Qi Xinyang, there was a good news and a bad news. It depended on which one she thought of first. The good news was that the petrified moth's magic was not to petrify others. The bad news was that the petrified moth's magic was to strengthen its own defense. She thought to herself, "It seems that these big moths are just covering their skin with a layer of rock armor, which makes it difficult to penetrate with one arrow. Fortunately, I have never seen a monster that can use two spells. Even that 'snow doll' can only use one spell." After counting that there were a total of five petrified moths in the cave, she began to worry, "Do I have to use the most strenuous method again? It consumes too much energy."

After waiting for a long time, she saw no sign of the petrified moths removing their rock armor. She grew worried. "If they won't remove it until the damage is done, that would be terrible." Her fears were not without reason. The petrified moths' rock armor wouldn't disappear until their magical energy was exhausted. However, this was in a dungeon where magical energy was concentrated, so even if it was exhausted, it would regenerate faster than outside the dungeon. Furthermore, the petrified moths weren't very intelligent. Even when they were no longer a threat, they wouldn't automatically remove their armor and stop consuming magical energy.

She didn't waste any more time, instead casting the wind magic "Wind Walk." Suddenly, a circle of wind swirled beneath her feet, swirling upward around her. The movement also attracted the five petrified moths. A visible green aura shone from her body, the energy effect of Wind Walk. Her strength and agility were now vastly increased, even her arrows receiving an additional boost, a quality she personally referred to as "tailwind."

She swiftly pulled out an arrow, piercing the armor of one of the petrified moths and causing it to freeze in its tracks. Seeing the other four approaching, she dodged sideways and ran toward the cave wall. Then, like a martial arts master in a wuxia drama, she scaled the walls of the cave. As she ran, she continuously fired arrows at the other four petrified moths, still wearing their rock armor. When she landed with a swift flip, the rock armor on all the moths had been shattered by her arrows.

At that moment, all the petrified moths were reduced to sleek, large moths. Just as the five petrified moths paused, their armor pierced, she unleashed five more arrows in quick succession, each piercing its target. A momentary silence fell within the cave as the fallen petrified moths slowly dissipated onto the ground. Only then did she release her Wind Walk spell and crouch on the ground, panting, waiting for her breath to return. When she stood up, she pointed in the direction of the fallen monster and declared, "Quick, cool!" She flung her cloak and continued forward.

Unlike the Wind Mage's Wind Walk spell, which only consumes magical energy, her Wind Walk spell always consumes additional Stamina. The trade-off is that her Wind Walk spell can provide more powerful effects. While the Wind Mage's Wind Walk spell only increases movement speed, it doesn't offer the same dramatic increases in movement speed, fire rate, or power as hers, nor can it enhance weapon attacks like hers. She once tried to cast Wind Walk on her minion, Little Foot, but the effect was just average, only increasing movement speed. Therefore, the additional effect only affected her.

Later, whenever she encountered petrified moths, she would first use "Three Arrows" to eliminate the three petrified moths that hadn't yet cast spells, then use Wind Walk to deal with the remaining petrified moths with rock armor. This greatly reduced the cost of mana compared to before. Thus, she arrived at the location of the high-level monsters. It was a bit disgusting here. The giant moths here had gaping mouths. The mist-breathing moths and petrified moths before at least had long, tubular mouths, and looked somewhat like moths. She thought to herself, these ones didn't look like moths at all. They were extremely fat, and even their height was almost as tall as her.

What she also needed to consider was that she had consumed too many arrows fighting the petrified moth before, and she didn't know if she could hold on until she defeated the final monster.

After returning from the protective gear shop, You Jiahui spent the two weeks of free time, though still waiting for her custom-made protective gear. She wasn't completely idle. She continued to practice her beloved archery at the training grounds every day, and also added sword and shield practice. But she wasn't satisfied and wanted to learn the dagger as well. Since the palace guards' training grounds didn't offer dagger training, and no one in the palace knew how to use it, she went to the Adventurer's Guild to ask for instruction.

On the afternoon of the fourth day after defeating the Fire Fang Boar, she arrived at the Adventurer's Guild alone and went straight up to the second floor to find the president's office. She knocked politely, but there was no response. She had no choice but to return to the lobby on the first floor to ask the receptionist.

You Jiahui came to the counter and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the president went?"

The receptionist replied, "The president has gone to the Huxia Forest, and it's been very busy lately. There are a few quests available there. Do you want to take them?"

You Jiahui said, "No, thank you."

You Jiahui pondered, "I see. No wonder there are so few adventurers in the hall today. Youkas mentioned building a settlement in the Huxia Forest. I guess the president is busy with that."

Then she asked the receptionist, "Excuse me, are there any adventurers in the guild who can use a dagger?"

The receptionist replied, "The guild previously had a dwarven swordsman with dagger skills. However, a few days ago, he left the capital with Qi Xinyang, who was clearing dungeons, and never returned."

After hearing this, You Jiahui sighed again and muttered, "Why is it her again?"

The receptionist continued, "The president later said that Qi Xinyang was going on a long journey, so they must have gone together. The president was quite angry when he said this. It seemed that Qi Xinyang had forcibly taken the large map on the wall of the president's office."

You Jiahui politely said to the receptionist, "Thank you."

After thanking the receptionist, You Jiahui left the Adventurer's Guild. Unable to find anyone to teach her how to wield a dagger, she had no choice but to figure out how to practice on her own. She thought about it again and again on the way back to the palace, ultimately deciding to practice with a longsword first, then adapting her dagger skills to the same techniques she'd used with a longsword.

Upon returning to the palace, You Jiahui suddenly thought of something very important: the art of identification. After defeating a mid-level monster, she felt she should bring some magical equipment for identification. But then she thought again, "Mingyi is a Saint Mage, why would she need to buy magical equipment for identification? Let her learn it quickly!"

Thinking about this, she arrived at Yang Mingyi's room. She knocked, but there was no response. She wondered, "Why is there no one here today?" After asking the maid, she learned that Yang Mingyi had gone to the library again.

Just like that, You Jiahui also came to the library. It was her first time to come to the library, which was located behind the mage's residence. She had only seen the library from a distance before, but had never been inside. This was normal, after all, she couldn't understand the words here at all, and it would be funny to say that she went in to read books. As soon as she entered the door, she saw full bookshelves on both sides, one bookshelf next to another, straight to the back. She sighed in her heart, "Oh my God, it's so spectacular, so many books." In the middle of the library, there are two large pillars on the left and right, each with a spiral staircase attached to the pillar leading to the second floor. The second floor also has bookshelves on both sides, one bookshelf next to another, straight to the back. Although this arrangement wastes a lot of space, the advantage is that it is easy to find people.

Soon, she found Yang Mingyi on the second floor.

You Jiahui crossed her arms and walked over to Yang Mingyi, saying, "Mingyi."

Yang Mingyi was surprised to see You Jiahui and asked, "Are you here looking for a book to read too?"

You Jiahui looked at me like I was stupid and replied, "How is that possible? I don't understand it." Then she added, "You should learn some identification techniques quickly. We'll need them later."

Yang Mingyi had a question mark on her face and said, "Identification? Then I need to see if there are any books on identification here."

You Jiahui's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "Why do you need to find a book? Why not just ask the court mage to teach you?"

Yang Mingyi explained, "There's only one entry-level Holy Mage among the court mages, and he only knows healing. Furthermore, one must first reach the proficient level in Holy Magic before learning Appraisal, so he can't learn it at all."

You Jiahui was amazed and said, "No way. Such a big country only has this one holy master?"

Yang Mingyi said, "There are several powerful Saint Mages who have been assigned to various armies. After all, the country is so big. So now I can't find anyone who can teach me, so I can only find books and learn on my own."

You Jiahui asked, "Then why don't you ask the library administrator? Why do you have to look for the book yourself? How long will it take to find it?"

Yang Mingyi replied, "The library's administrator is an old monk. He's so old that his speech is unclear and he often falls asleep in the middle of his conversations."

You Jiahui thought of the guild again and said, "Why not go to the guild tomorrow and ask? Maybe there's a Holy Mage there."

Yang Mingyi said, "Of course not. I asked about it when I registered. I'm the guild's first Holy Mage. There aren't many Holy Mages in our country to begin with. And any mage would prefer to serve in the palace."

You Jiahui was surprised and asked, "Our country? When did this become your country?"

Yang Mingyi's mood was somewhat negative. She said, "What can we do? We can't go back. Besides, the people here are very nice to us."

You Jiahui retorted: "Be good to us? Did we agree to it? They just forcibly summoned us to this strange world."

Yang Mingyi said dejectedly, "But... if the people here hadn't summoned us, we would have all died in the other world."

You Jiahui knew that the building had collapsed, burying them in the rubble. No one knew anyone was inside the abandoned building, so no one would have rescued them. Even if they hadn't been crushed to death, they would have been buried to death without help.

As soon as this topic came up, You Jiahui's mood began to sour again. She was completely in no mood to talk anymore. She said to Yang Mingyi, "Then you can take your time to look for her." After that, she left.

After leaving the library, You Jiahui decided to go to the stables, thinking a ride might change her mood. She still hoped Yang Mingyi could quickly master the identification technique so they could more safely defeat other monsters. She wondered, "How long will it take for Mingyi to learn?" The more she thought about it, the less confident she felt in Yang Mingyi.
