Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"I'm sorry, Aisha, I don't have any ready-made spells here—as far as I can remember, no one has ever used space magic for this purpose."
Tricia said helplessly.
The only space magic that can be used for storage is probably space equipment, but space equipment also has a "door" connecting to the real world, so it is not suitable. What Tricia wants is a complete and thorough isolation and closed space magic.
Elsa really didn't have much idea about this. Her understanding of magic was superficial. After all, she had almost no process in learning magic, so she only had a vague understanding of the principles.
Tricia explained earnestly, "Space manipulation is an extremely advanced magical discipline. It requires a high level of control over the magic power of the caster and consumes a lot of magic power, but it is difficult to maintain the stability of space."
Precisely because of the difficulty, high threshold and high consumption, space equipment is so scarce and expensive.
The price of a piece of space equipment with a content space only the size of a fist is enough for an average family to spend for several years. Among the adventurers, the most intuitive way to see whether a person is powerful or not is to observe whether the other person is wearing space equipment. This is a clear example.
"So, in most cases, space magic is a powerful spell designed for destruction. Nothing is more troublesome than spatial turbulence. Space magic is difficult to counter. It's almost the only way to counter space magic. And the best way to counter it isn't to attack the opponent with magic, but to reinforce space... Sorry, I've gone off topic. What I want to say is that we don't have a ready-made spell to verify this hypothesis. So far, I only have a rough idea. How to design the specific spell weave will take time."
For example, when choosing a medium, should we continue to use a bottle, a philosopher's stone, or a scroll? We have to choose the one that is most stable and easy to carry and use.
Or it could be the design of the space anchor point - since the "door" connecting the space and the real world is completely closed, it is also necessary to prevent this space from "derailing" from the real world. Otherwise, if after a period of time it has left the real world and disappeared in the sea of space, it would be too funny.
Furthermore, the stability of the space must be good enough, the "lock" of the space must be hidden and efficient... There are many other problems like this. Magic is not omnipotent. There are many things that can be done with magic, and there are also many things that cannot be done. It is not realistic to rely solely on magic to solve the problem once and for all.
It's more of a precision engineering than a technology.
What Tricia said was not just a matter of space magic. To completely solve all these problems, it would probably be necessary to design a complex spell that could be compared with the "Mysterious Magic·Magic Furnace". Whether such a complex structure could be engraved on the magic stone was still an unknown - the magic stone was like that, the spells engraved on it were fixed, and there was no room for Elsa to operate.
"But it's okay, Aisha, leave this matter to me. Give me some time, and I will create a new spell to solve this problem."
Tricia said to Aisha, smiling confidently.
Creating a magical innovation is no easy task, and only Tricia could single-handedly bring such a massive undertaking to the forefront.
……
Elsa and Tricia didn't stay in the alley for long. After a brief moment of tenderness, they put on their hoods again and headed for Wohan's residence. When they arrived at Wohan's hut, a young man dressed as a hunter was sitting in the open space in front of the house, diligently washing an animal hide. The smell of blood and the stench of medicine were a bit pungent.
"Who are you looking for?"
He stopped what he was doing and looked at Aisha and Tricia with a little wariness and surprise.
After taking a look around, Aisha said, "I heard that Wohan lives here."
The man thought suspiciously for a moment, "I am—what do you want from me?"
"Lavi introduced me here," Aisha explained. "I heard that you often go hunting in the Grand Canyon. I wanted to ask you about the situation there. I'm planning to go to the North, so I have to pass through the Grand Canyon."
As she spoke, Elsa took out a bottle of wine - there was still a lot of wine left from the wine merchant in Dammas last time. It was not expensive, but it was still considered a good wine for the people in this small town.
The man took the wine and looked at it, then raised his eyes and glanced at Elsa.
"Judging from your accent, you are indeed from outside."
"Well, we are adventurers escorting a caravan."
Aisha said.
There was nothing to hide. This town was not big, and the news of the caravan's arrival would surely spread quickly. Perhaps Wo Han in front of him also knew about it.
Wohan stood up, put the wine inside, and walked out again. He said, "Listen, outsider, if you want to go through the Grand Canyon to the North, you must go as soon as possible. The Grand Canyon is still safe now, but if it rains again, it will be unpredictable. The 'bird monsters' that follow the monsoon will live in the depths of the canyon until the heavy snow catches up with them. Believe me, you don't want to cross the Grand Canyon under the sharp claws and bird droppings of those beasts."
Aisha asked in more detail, and learned that the so-called bird monster that Wohan mentioned was actually a monster called "Chas Giant Bird". It lived in groups and came here once every spring and autumn.
This is nothing to be afraid of. These monsters can usually be dispelled with magic potions, especially at night. The "Chas Giant Bird" still retains the characteristics of a night-blind bird monster. If you travel in a planned way, it is not a big problem. So whether these monsters are active or not, they have little impact on the caravan.
"Don't think those monsters are easy to deal with. Seriously, if you believe me, just leave now."
Wohan emphasized it again.
"Thank you for your advice. We will set off as soon as possible."
Aisha said.
After asking a few simple questions, Aisha brought Tricia to the monastery to meet Sister Butler again. This time, Aisha donated some money to the monastery.
After doing all this, Aisha and Tricia returned to the caravan, where Silbaz found her and explained the matter about "Old Janji".
"He will provide us with potions," Silbaz said, glancing at old Janji. "In exchange, he requires us to take him away from here. Otherwise, we'll only get two bottles of potion, which is far from enough for the caravan. Miss Fasha, Mr. Ebusen and I have decided to take him with us, and I'd like to hear your opinion."
Elsa took a look at old Janji. The way he was dressed was like some wizards living deep in the mountains that she had seen on TV in her previous life.
"Beautiful person, please help me, I've had enough of this place."
Old Janji made a request.
"I don't have any objections," Aisha shook her head and spoke. Before old Janji could be happy, Aisha's next words made his eyes twitch: "But, aren't you worried that after we take you away, we'll kill you and steal your potion? - In the wilderness, no one will even know."
"I believe you are at least more trustworthy than the hunters here, right?"
Old Zhan Ji thought about it and said with a smile.
Aisha also smiled and said, "Indeed."

318. The Demons in the Town
Lindao Town is roughly divided into two parts, east and west. The east side is the main body of the town, an area surrounded by low walls made of logs. The walls and traps block the yellow sand and monsters. Most of the townspeople live here. It is also the location of the monastery and the guild. With the square as the center, it constitutes the main living and activity area for the townspeople.
To the west of the town is a castle surrounded by gravel ravines, connected to the town by only a suspension bridge.
After the war, the castle, which was originally used as a sentry post on the transportation route, was converted into the town hall, responsible for the town's administrative affairs. Of course, the castle is not just a place for the mayor to live and work, it is also the town's granary, arsenal, court, and barracks. The castle was originally designed in this way - the castle is the most important part of the town. If the town encounters a dangerous beast tide, the residents of the town will enter the castle to take shelter when necessary. The sturdy castle can provide them with safe shelter. At the same time, the large amount of stored food can also supply people until support arrives.
At this moment, in a room in the castle—
Several people dressed as soldiers were respectfully facing a plump lady and an old man whose body and face were hidden under a brown-gray robe.
The lady was about thirty years old, and looked quite graceful and charming, with wine-red hair, bright lips, and skin with an alluring luster. It was hard to imagine that she lived in this small town in the yellow sand. She looked very well maintained.
She was wearing a loose dress that exposed her shoulders and neck, and her exposed wrists were adorned with several bracelets. She was leaning lazily on a chair, with two shirtless men serving her on both sides.
The old man stood behind her.
The lady looked at the hunters kneeling before her. They lowered their heads and dared not breathe. They were Kaufman and others who had escaped from the guild. However, Kaufman was covered in wounds. The blood on his mouth and nose and the bruises on his face made him look extremely embarrassed. His clothes and protective gear were dirty, as if he had rolled in a sand pit. He didn't know when he lost the dagger hanging on his waist.
Kaufman was so exhausted that he was almost carried back here by the hunters.
"I'm sorry, my dear lady, but I have no way to treat this hunter's injuries."
The old man's cloudy eyes were hidden under his hood, and he spoke to the lady in a sullen voice - he seemed reluctant to show his appearance to others.
When Kaufman heard what the old man said, a look of despair appeared on his face. He looked at the old man and opened his mouth.
"Please save me, Master Wizard! I can't be disabled like this... I, I mean... I'm still useful... I can still serve you..."
The old man glanced at Kaufman and said nothing - he disdained to speak to someone like Kaufman.
"Gidges, even you can't cure him?"
The noble lady beside him ignored Kaufman's pleading eyes, but showed surprise and a little regret - Kaufman was considered one of the strong men here, and his hands that had been holding weapons all year round were also quite charming, but looking at his condition, it was still unknown whether he could recover.
But it doesn't matter, she has never lacked men, what she lacks is men who are capable of getting things done for her.
"There's nothing I can do this time."
The old man called "Gidges" shook his head.
"I don't know why, but when I tried to use mystical techniques to heal his injuries, a strange force emerged from his body. It seemed like some kind of curse. It blocked my mental power and dissolved my spells. Unfortunately, even I couldn't fully understand the curse. I've never seen it before. But I suspect it's closely related to the outsider who injured Kaufman."
"It's a curse..."
The lady gave Kaufman a long look.
Gidges is a powerful wizard who is proficient in curses. If even he can't figure it out, then it must not be that simple.
The lady remained silent, and the old man looked at her silently for a long moment. After a moment, he asked, "Should we keep them here as the Count ordered?"
"Hey……"
The lady sighed lazily, and the fragrance like orchid spread with her breath. She slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her pupils had turned into strange vertical pupils. A pair of curved black horns slowly emerged from her wine-red hair, and a slender black arrow-shaped tail slid out from under her skirt.
This form was undoubtedly that of a demon. However, except for the old man, no one present seemed to react to the lady's change. Including Kaufman, their eyes were abnormally turbid when they looked at the woman.
"It seems that the Earl has given me a very troublesome task..."
As she spoke, the woman slowly stood up.
"I haven't enjoyed prey from outside in a long time. Every day I can only eat guys like you. I almost feel like my mouth is full of sand. It's time to get some fresh food to try. Gidges, come with me. As for you, I have other things for you to do."
The woman said to the hunters and soldiers.
……
Near the town square, adventurers gathered in groups of three or four around the carriages, and after eating a simple meal of dry food, they were all resting.
Charlie was not sleepy. She was holding a book she got from Elsa and flipping through it. However, she was obviously a little absent-minded. She would cover the book with her hands and look at Elsa from time to time.
Tricia didn't sleep either. She didn't know if it was because of the kiss with Elsa, but she even felt a little excited and not tired at all. She couldn't help but start to wonder, if she kept kissing Elsa, would she never need to sleep?
While chewing on the dry food, Tricia looked at Aisha.
As for Elsa, she started to behave strangely after she came back - Elsa held a cup full of water in her left hand, and from time to time there were flashes of holy light magic, but it was quickly restrained by Elsa, while her right hand was flashing with arcs of electricity, and she held a dagger.
Elsa had been fiddling with the cup of water and the dagger for a long time.
At this time, Charlie closed the book and couldn't help asking curiously, "Elsa, what are you doing?"
Charlie always wanted to chat with Elsa, but she didn't know what Elsa was doing and didn't dare to disturb her.
But she was really bored now.
Elsa raised her head and did not answer Charlie's question. Instead, she suddenly asked a question that seemed particularly strange to Charlie:
"Xia Li, do you think there's any difference between what we see and hear and what animals see and hear, and what the world actually looks like?"
……
------------
319. I have completely forgotten everything
"what?"
Charlie was stunned by the question.
Tricia on the side was also a little confused.
"It's true that there are differences. It's not just animals, but also demons, demihumans, elves... they all have some exceptional sensory abilities compared to humans. It's said that some demihumans can even see light we can't and hear sounds we can't hear. The most amazing ones can even detect the fluttering of butterfly wings."
Tricia has a wide range of knowledge, she said thoughtfully.
"But we humans can do it with the help of magic."
Charlie felt the same way. She was a vampire now, and compared to her human days, she did feel that the world she perceived had changed a bit. She had even gotten used to it.
Elsa smiled slyly, and became interested for the first time in a long time. She raised the cup in her left hand and asked Tricia and Charlie.
"What can you see?"
"Cup?" Charlie stared at the cup for a long time and said suspiciously.
Tricia also stared at it for a while and shook her head. "I can sense a hint of holy light magic, but strangely, I can hardly see any light."
"Huh? There's light?" Charlie looked left and right. "Why can't I see it?"
"I can't see it either. I can only vaguely sense the breath of holy light."
Tricia was also a little curious.
"It's normal not to see it. Even if I'm not concentrating, I can't see it."
Elsa smiled.
After all, this is a kind of invisible light. There is probably no specific concept of invisible light in this world. As for Elsa herself, she actually has no idea about it. She had never learned these things in her previous life and lacked knowledge.
But she knew there was something called a microwave oven, and she was now trying to replicate it.
Gather the holy light magic in the palm of your hand and try it over and over again, trial and error bit by bit without letting it overflow.
Aisha didn't study this at university. Her meager knowledge of invisible light all came from modern people's "extended reading". In short, Aisha had no idea what microwaves were. She only knew that they were a type of invisible light, located at the infrared end of the spectrum.
Although she didn't know how to achieve it specifically, relying on her inexhaustible magic power, after trying hundreds of times, Elsa finally felt the water in the cup begin to heat up.
As for moving towards the ultraviolet rays, Elsa has not tried it yet because she thinks it is more dangerous there and she cannot go there in a crowd.
