Reincarnation Band Magician

"Xiang is in my room."

Fulilian pulled Xiangzi into the room. The girl thought they were going to talk about something private, but when they came in, she saw the elf put down the things and sat on the chair, kneading her calves to relax.

"Huh... I'm so tired today."

"Flillian, what's going on?"

"It's nothing. I say, Xiang, you don't want to share a room with Qing, do you?" Fulilian felt that she had to talk to her.

Xiangzi looked around and talked about something else.

"Why do you ask? Qing and I used to rest together."

"We're outside now, Xiang. You need to stay alert. You're too relaxed with Qing," the elf said, sharing her experience. "I admit Qing is reliable, but it's not good to be too dependent on someone. Besides, it's difficult to protect one more person when necessary."

"Indeed... I understand."

Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Fulilian had seen through his feelings for Qing.

"You need to give yourself some personal space. The growth of any skill requires time and space for solitude and reflection."

"Also, although I don't understand it, boys and girls are different, especially at this age. The teacher said that they sometimes turn into wild beasts... What does that mean?"

"Well," Xiangzi looked around, leaned over, and whispered to Fulilian, "Boys of this age..."

"Oh~ It really is a beast. I didn't expect Xiang to know all this."

"It's because Fulilian doesn't understand humans at all. I only heard Aite mention it..."

Xiang coughed. It was a tense and exciting feeling to discuss this topic with others.

Especially since the person he was communicating with was Fulilian, he felt even more guilty for leading the child astray.

"Anyway, if there's anything you want to know, Fulilian can ask me later."

"Oh, did you guys pass that one?"

"no!"

……

After coming back from dinner, the distance between the women's group seemed to have narrowed a little.

Qing returned to the room alone.

He really has very little personal time, and living with everyone can be inconvenient at times.

But the most embarrassing age has passed. When I was at the beach, I didn't experience the shame-killing experience of being asked by my mother in junior high school what I was washing in the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Just now he felt that it was a bit of a waste to book two rooms because he didn't need to sleep and sitting in the chair could help him stay alert.

Later I thought that girls also have privacy and I shouldn’t think like that.

When I calmed down, I couldn't help but feel that it had been a long time since I was alone. During this period, even when I was in the wooden house, I would chat with Xiangzi for a while before going to bed and then rest.

Now I feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Am I the baby who will only go to sleep after saying goodnight to mommy?"

Qing had such doubts, and then laughed.

He had not been idle enough to have such emotions in the past two years - although he was inseparable from Xiangzi at that time.

This also means that they are gradually emerging from the shadow of the past and starting to be influenced and changed by the environment they come into contact with, just like humans.

Qing felt a positive and uplifting emotion filling his heart.

"Well, just do weighted push-ups for one night."

It can also be considered as training for a warrior.

Doing one-handed push-ups in one hand and holding that yet-to-be-learned egg yolk separation magic book in the other, I exercise both my body and my mind.

If an ordinary person does this, they will only get a strong corpse, but Qing can do whatever he wants with his demonic physique.

……

Day two.

There is a pub nearby that serves breakfast.

After entering, the place was almost full, but it didn't have the lively atmosphere like in the south and north.

Some people who looked like they were from other places also followed the local customs and kept silent.

Fulilian didn't react to this. She found a place to sit down and started ordering.

Then continue the previous topic and introduce interesting things about the south.

"During the Unified Empire era, the Empire unified this area with its powerful military force, but you all know what happened afterwards."

Qing nodded, "Yes, it is divided into three parts."

The waiter brought the food quickly, which was prepared in advance and a little cold.

Fulilian took out a thick holy book of the Goddess Church and used a magic trick to test the toxicity of the food served, using white light to prove that it was harmless to the human body.

This was Xiangzi's second time seeing it. The last time was two years ago. She asked curiously, "Is this the church's magic?"

"Well, the goddess's magic is very different from existing magic. It requires a fundamental faith in the goddess, as well as a sacred text that acts as a wand."

After testing Qing and Xiangzi, she stuffed the book back with satisfaction.

"Back to the previous point, during the war, the South was the first to break away. Because of the haste, many magic books, magical tools, and rare treasures from the unified empire era were lost. That's why rumors of various treasures often circulate in this land."

Millennium Magician: 97, Spiritual Magic

As a casual chat during the meal, Fulilian interspersed some not-so-serious but very topical stories.

Qing shook his head. "I think it's unlikely. Even if the records are lost, the officials who were responsible at the time must still be there. Even if they didn't move it, it would have become their private collection."

"That's true, but people always believe what they want to believe. Furthermore, many magical tools from the imperial era have indeed been unearthed in the south.

In addition, before the full-scale war with the demons broke out, the unique geographical environment here attracted many magicians who wanted to challenge themselves. They built a dungeon here - you know dungeons, right? "

Xiangzi shook his head decisively, then took it literally and looked down at his feet curiously.

"Is there a city underground here?"

"It's not that big. To put it simply, it's a wizard's mausoleum. Dungeons, mazes, ruins, etc., are all the same thing. Wizards at that time liked to place their life's collections and magic there.

"After that, we set up mechanisms, traps, magic, rare monsters, etc., and then deliberately release information and clues to invite people to challenge us.

"By the way, their bodies are usually buried somewhere randomly."

Qing said what he understood.

In short, it is a place with characteristics of another world, where predecessors challenge future generations and pass on wisdom.

There are also people with dark hearts who are completely wicked. We will not be polite to them and will directly and violently dismantle them.

In addition, because a large area of ​​​​territory fell, some dungeons were cracked by the demons, and some became monster nests. There were unexpectedly many monsters that liked precious metals and gems.

"That's about it," Fulilian nodded in confirmation. "For magicians, they've gathered their life's wisdom and spent a great deal of time to create trials for future generations. If you pass them, you can gain treasure and magical knowledge. That's pretty good, right?

"Before the war against the demons began, it was very popular. It is said that magicians would even invite friends to their own mazes to exchange ideas and compete with each other. As a result, the level of the mazes became higher and higher, and a considerable amount of wisdom was gathered.

"Later, many powerful magicians simply died, their names and achievements lost to history. The labyrinth became the last proof of their existence. People's understanding of the history and magic of that period also largely originated from here.

"To this day, many strategically located places, guarded by powerful monsters, remain unconquered. 'The Tower of a Thousand Mirrors,' 'The Scattered Tombs of Kings,' 'The Sage's Tomb...' These have even become essential components of adventure culture, enduring in adventure literature."

Qing took a sip of the milk and said, "I'm starting to look forward to it."

"That pitch-black place feels a bit scary..." Xiangzi couldn't quite accept it. "And digging a hole here, is it really not going to flood?"

"They do. Everyone's tired of the mazes in the mountains and hills. At the time, many magicians were researching underwater and in the ocean, so they should have found success," Fulilian said in a casual tone. "The thought of so many interesting magics still existing makes me itch."

"Come to think of it," Qing glanced at Fulilian's box, "Most ruins have treasure chest monsters, and some even put them there themselves. Has Fulilian ever opened the wrong box?"

Xiangzi finally had a chance to speak. "There is a magic spell that can identify treasure chest monsters. The success rate is 99%. It's very reliable."

"No, Qing, and Xiang, there's a huge gap between 99% and 100%."

Fulilian said with a mature air, "That 1% is the dividing line between outstanding adventurers and mediocre ones. Even if the detection magic shows a 99% chance of success, I will still try for that 1%. Perhaps after this step, I will be able to unify the great magic of the Empire!"

"That's a good point, but in my experience—" Qing broke off a piece of bread and said indifferently, "People who say that usually never win. Did Fulilian get anything out of it?"

The elf was deflated.

"Definitely next time."

Afterwards, she continued to mutter, "No one can understand the treasure chest", "Even if there is a 1% chance, I must be brave enough to try it", and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Anyway, Fulilian's story was well told and successfully aroused everyone's interest.

Because of the sudden division and continuous wars, the South’s long and profound history has lost its records, just like the morning and evening mist on this land, which is unclear.

It was a sudden decision, and this time, in addition to observing magic, we also had the goal of exploring the ruins.

……

I purchased some supplies in the city in the morning and left the city in the afternoon.

Fulilian changed into the light fabric she had been longing for, and in order to cope with the outdoor environment, she also replaced her previous short boots with long boots.

Xiangzi asked quietly, "Well, won't it have a smell?"

"What is the taste?"

"Look, the boots are airtight, the kind you get when you're stuck inside for a long time..."

"I don't know," Flillian shook her head. "I'm an elf. Unlike humans, I have this magic."

Ding--

Fulilian taught Xiangzi the magic of "stopping sweating of hands and feet".

It is very practical to avoid slipping during combat.

After half a day of actual testing, Xiangzi was very satisfied. Apart from the leather smell of the boots heated by body temperature, there was no other peculiar smell, and even the scent of soap from washing socks remained.

This way she could also change into some lighter clothes.

Speaking of this, Xiangzi has also recently noticed some changes in his body. In addition to the most obvious physical condition, his reaction and thinking have also improved.

In the end, it was very obvious that her skin had improved, at least better than before. She felt that it felt as soft as it did when she was ten years old, even though she hadn't done any skin care at all.

After several trips and this experience in the south, Xiang observed that the people in the other world seemed to have an average appearance of not low.

It must be the influence of magic.

Girls always love beauty, which is of course a good thing.

……

In the dense forest.

The ashes of magic drift away.

"This is a demon called a Phantom Ghost. It can make people see the phantoms of the deceased. It's a common form of spiritual magic, with a certain ability to bewitch people, causing them to ignore unusual things. Every year, many people are killed by these demons while immersed in the joy of communicating with the deceased."

Fulilian put down her wand and watched the humanoid monster in front of her, covering its eyes, disappear.

"The activation of mental magic is almost impossible to detect, but there are ways to defend against it. If you happen to encounter it, I will teach you how to defend against it later. Before that, do you want to experience it?"

"The phantom of the departed..."

Qing shook his head.

"No one I care about has passed away in the foreseeable future, so I'm afraid it won't be very effective."

"Is that so? Where's Xiang?"

Xiangzi understood Qing's meaning. She also had only one person who could be simulated, and she also had a future of resurrection, so she felt a strong sense of strangeness when she saw it.

And just thinking about her important mother being used by monsters to fool and deceive her made her feel a little annoyed.

"Me too."

"Ok."

Flillian raised her wand and pointed it deeper.

Qing stopped her.

"Please let me do it."
