Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi absentmindedly poked the barbecue on his plate with a fork while describing the problems he was facing to Norni in a disjointed manner.

There was nothing to be ashamed of. Even though Norni's growth period was brief, the magical memories within her mind, reminiscent of a revelation, were genuine. Furthermore, she had now become a disciple of Rosello, the great fortune teller of Silent City, a fellow kinsman and elder of Norni's. Under the hands-on instruction of that powerful magician, she was no longer the country girl Lin Zhenxi had first met. Whatever Lin Zhenxi couldn't solve, perhaps Norni could?

Of course, this thought only flashed through Lin Zhenxi's mind. She had always preferred to solve problems on her own. If a problem truly couldn't be solved, she would save it and ask her teacher later. Consulting the local indigenous people, for example, had been out of her consideration since she had traveled through the third world and accumulated her original knowledge.

But surprises often bloom inadvertently. When Lin Zhenxi said that her recent trouble was that she could not control the elements in her body as easily as she could, the smile on Noelni's face was as bright as a sunflower in the morning, which made Lin Zhenxi begin to wonder if she was gloating.

Although she originally sat next to Lin Zhenxi for fun, she now really has a solution to Lin Zhenxi's problem.

When Norni thought about the bad advice Lin Zhenxi had given her in the past, when she knew nothing, and it was hard to judge whether it was good or bad, she couldn't let it go. She suspected that Lin Zhenxi had fooled her back then, and the key was that she had really been fooled at that time. She did whatever Lin Zhenxi said in her foolishness. If she didn't make up for this, she would probably be very upset.

"The elements are disobedient? This problem is easy to solve." Noelni looked up at the sky and said lightly in a fishing tone, and then her face was filled with a little expression of "Come and ask me quickly!", looking very proud.

Damn it, Lin Zhenxi took the bait unwillingly.

"Well, do you have a good solution?"

"Hehe~~" Noelni raised her head, raised her pointed chin high, swayed her body proudly, and used her shoulders to push against Lin Zhenxi's body. "Teacher just taught me how to command the elements, but I don't know if you can learn it, Lin Zhenxi."

Lin Zhenxi's eyelids drooped, his body swaying from side to side as Norni bumped into him. The fork in his hand stabbed the plate, and his anger began to soar.

When her anger exceeded a certain threshold, she stabbed a piece of purple vegetable tuber with a fork and put it directly to Noelni's mouth, saying viciously: "If you keep keeping me in suspense, I will stuff this piece of demonic purple potato that I cursed into your mouth and make you start to get acne on your face!"

Although she didn't know what Lin Zhenxi meant by acne, after all, Noelni had been very healthy both when she was the three sisters and when she was Noelni, but seeing Lin Zhenxi's terrible expression, she couldn't help but shiver.

"I'm telling you, Lin Zhenxi, calm down." Noelni pushed the fork away from Lin Zhenxi's hand and said with her head tilted.

Lin Zhenxi took back the fork and ate the tuber on it, which tasted similar to a purple sweet potato, in one bite. While chewing, she stared at Noelni, waiting for her next words.

Noelni cleared her throat and began to tell Lin Zhenxi about the magic lessons she was receiving.

Astrology, prophetic magic.

In Lin Zhenxi's understanding, prophetic magic is a form of speculation about the future, while astrology is a method of divination, and should be categorized within the category of prophetic magic. However, according to Norni's description, in Rousselot's power system, astrology is magic used to predict the future, while prophetic magic is a form of magic that uses magical power to influence reality.

Lin Zhenxi immediately thought of the classic forbidden spell "The Great Prophecy" that often appears in fantasy novels. If it is an oriental fantasy worldview, it has another name "Words Come True".

Upon learning that Rossello possessed this kind of magic that could affect reality, Lin Zhenxi's initial reaction wasn't surprise, but disbelief. Wasn't this ability reserved for the ultimate boss? If Rossello possessed such terrifying abilities, why would she be working for Luke?

While the Sanctuary of Birth is a relatively important department within the Silent City, it's categorized as a production department, meaning it's only one level higher than the outer areas. It's far inferior to the inner areas' Altar of Power, Altar of Wisdom, Temple of Light, Temple of Darkness, and the energy storage and control rooms. If Rossello truly possessed terrifying magic like the Great Prophecy, she shouldn't be working at the Sanctuary of Birth. Instead, she should have kicked out Apostle Luke and taken control of the Mechanical Throne herself.

Norni probably didn't understand the value of this prophecy. She continued to explain its effects to Lin Zhenxi. Soon, Lin Zhenxi also realized how difficult it was to describe this kind of magic.

Under normal circumstances, prophecy and astrology are linked, and they can be regarded as Rousselot's innate magic, just like Lin Zhenxi's "string" element, almost an exclusive magic with the Rousselot label.

Rousselot's identity as an "astrologer" comes from these two kinds of magic.

However, as a Transcendent, a member of Rousselot's clan, Norni also possessed the qualifications to learn these two types of magic. Why was Rousselot so happy the moment he saw Norni? How could she not be happy that her skills would finally be passed on to someone else?

But what does this have to do with Lin Zhenxi? If it is a special magic, then Lin Zhenxi should not be able to learn it.

Well, it seemed she couldn't really learn astrology, because she wasn't from this world at all. Astrology, however, was a method used by transcendents like Rossello to glimpse the future trajectory of fate, practically the foundation of prophecy. Without astrology, performing prophecy would become extremely dangerous.

Because people cannot go against the normal course of fate, prophecy is a magic that affects reality. If you use prophecy to interfere with the original trajectory of fate, you will suffer huge backlash, and it is not impossible that you will explode and die.

Therefore, the relationship between prophecy and astrology is equivalent to the engine and the accelerator. The former determines the extent to which things can be done, and the latter determines whether this thing can be done.

If one only learns a divination technique without the support of astrology, there's a high risk of backlash and potential pitfalls during use. However, if Lin Zhenxi is certain she'll only use divination within a very narrow scope, such as on herself, then even without astrology, the risk won't be significant.

After all this talk, Lin Zhenxi still didn't know if he could learn Rousselot's prophecy, because Norni didn't know either. He still had to ask Rousselot about the specifics.

So, Noelni was really just showing off how advanced she was learning to Lin Zhenxi. She wasn't qualified to teach Lin Zhenxi, as she herself was only half-baked. However, in her opinion, astrology was unlikely to be something Lin Zhenxi could learn, but the requirements for this divination technique didn't seem as high as astrology, so Lin Zhenxi might have a chance.

After hearing Norni's description of the effects of these two spells, Lin Zhenxi was stunned. She hadn't expected her superior to possess such powerful abilities. She had thought Rousselot was just a stronger elemental magician, but who could have imagined her skills were so profound?

Because according to Norni's description, astrology seemed to be 100% accurate. What a terrifying thing! Of all the divination magic that Lin Zhenxi had encountered so far, the only one that could guarantee absolute accuracy was the "Word Spirit," which connected to the root of the truth. However, her "Word Spirit" could only provide simple information such as whether or not something happened and the direction it would take, which was far inferior to astrology, which could predict the future.

As for the prophetic art that could bring things to life, it was actually nothing compared to astrology, which could predict the future. Lin Zhenxi could achieve a similar effect to a certain extent by praying to magic, but prophecy could directly change reality, which was far more powerful than praying to magic and was also a crushing advantage.

In general, these two exclusive magics of Rousselot are both top-notch, and are the high-end and top-of-the-line Porsche PRO Maxpuls version of Lin Zhenxi's set.

If only I could learn...

Nornie was right. If Rossello's prophecy really had the effect she said, then Lin Zhenxi could just use the prophecy to command his elements to merge together without having to worry about how to make them merge.

Praying to the magic powers doesn't have much effect on the magic powers themselves, so use prophecy to command them directly. This method seems quite reliable, but the question is, can Lin Zhenxi learn it?

Suddenly, he found a huge treasure chest right next to him. Lin Zhenxi lost all interest in eating. He stuffed all the food on his plate into his mouth in two or three bites, chewing hard with his cheeks puffed out. He stood up, grabbed Nornie's arm and prepared to go find Rossello.

Norni looked at the food she had only taken a few bites of and felt like crying because she was not full yet.

But who had she done to whet Lin Zhenxi's appetite? Lin Zhenxi's reaction was exactly what she wanted to see. The cafeteria was right here, and the two chubby robot chefs kept the fire going all day, so there was always food to be had. So, not eating the food would at most be a waste, but it wouldn't mean she'd be starving for a long time.

So she reached out and grabbed two pieces of bread, ate them as she walked, and went to see Rossello with Lin Zhenxi.
