Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

“It’s pretty stable at the moment.”

At this time, the magic test slowly showed the results.

As expected, Madeleine's fetal blood did indeed react to Elsa's bloodline, albeit faintly, but definitely there. So, at least from the perspective of bloodline, the fetus in Madeleine's body was indeed related to Elsa—a result that shocked even Tricia. After all, Elsa and Madeleine were both women, and creating life through magic alone was rare.

Madeleine didn't react much to this, or rather, she didn't know how to react.

"Your seal seems stable at the moment. You don't have to make a decision now. Its presence won't affect you. However, if you're worried, why not stay and observe for a while?"

"No need, I'd better take my leave first..."

Although it was a rare opportunity to work with the Sage and the Holy Sister, the current situation was a bit unexpected for Madeleine. She planned to go back and calm down first. Seeing this, Tricia smiled helplessly.

After Madeleine left, Tricia looked at the crow standing on the windowsill.

"Crow, come here."

Tricia summoned Crow, took him back, and read his memory from last night...

“I’ll have to ask you to stay and guard this place again later… hm… hm???”

Tricia was stroking the crow's feathers when she was suddenly stunned. The movement of her hands stopped, and her expression became stiff. Slowly, a blush crept up to the tips of her ears. Her always cold eyebrows suddenly showed a bit of panic and indescribable shyness.

Tricia blushed.

476、宇宙

It snowed again in the north. The snow was not heavy, there was no wind, but there was no sunshine either. The whole sky was dark, as if another round of wind and snow was about to come.

From far away, you can see snow-capped mountains, snow-covered forests, and vast plains and grasslands covered with snow. In her previous life, Elsa would probably like such scenery, because for her who lives in the south, such a magnificent snow scene is rare.

“It’s a beautiful view.”

Aisha sighed, and the hot air she exhaled immediately turned into white mist and was blown away by the wind at high altitude.

Of course, although the scenery is beautiful, it is not something that appeals to the people living here. Every winter, some people lose their lives to the severe cold.

Perhaps in this world, death is not something that is surprising.

——Elsa thought.

Just like what I saw in a dream.

Charlie's death did not bring any changes to the direction of Weilin Town in the "Dream World". Everything continued as planned, which was an expected ending for most people.

Elsa sighed deeply.

So, what exactly is the dream world?

Parallel universe?

Can this saying, which was popular in the previous life, work here?

Elsa was thinking about this all the way, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the city of Kroros.

It was morning, and perhaps because it was still early, or perhaps because the winter temperature was getting colder, the streets of Kroros were no longer as bustling as when I first arrived.

In the distance, the dull tolling of church bells echoed, melodious yet somewhat quiet. Most of the passersby were bundled up tightly, hurrying along, mostly merchants or hunters—they were the only ones accustomed to going out so early.

"Adele, we're here, you can come out now."

Elsa walked into an empty alley and suddenly spoke. There was no one else beside her - the person she was talking to was naturally still tucked into the black sword at her waist.

A burst of black smoke seeped out of the scabbard, slowly rose, dissipated, and condensed again, and Adele appeared beside Elsa.

"Lady Aisha..."

Adele took a quick look around and realized it was a place she had never been to before.

"I've already told you, you don't have to call me Sir."

Of course, Adele would definitely not listen, so Elsa could only skip the topic.

"So, do you have any idea about that 'dream world' now?"

Aisha asked.

Because the "Dream World" is too strange, there are too many unclear places, and there are some dangers there. Adele lost a lot of strength just by entering it once, so Elsa has not planned to tell Tricia, Charlie and others about the "Dream World" immediately. Now Adele is the only person Elsa discusses with.

Elsa had to spend a lot of time to convince Adele that the dream world was not a space Elsa created intentionally, or in other words, that place had nothing to do with Elsa at all - at least before last night, Elsa knew nothing about space.

"Lady Aisha, I can't understand the secrets of that world with my power... I'm sorry to disappoint you..."

Adele is very knowledgeable about space magic, but unfortunately, she cannot explain what the "dream world" is.

"Don't worry. I don't think it'll be easy to figure everything out. Compared to this, have you heard of the theory of 'parallel universes'?"

"Parallel...universe...? What is that..."

Adele looked confused.

Elsa paused, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

"It's a long story..."

Elsa thought about it and decided to explain to Adele what the "universe" is. Of course, she had to start with the most basic cognitive theory, for example, the earth is round.

For this world, there is no such concept as "universe". In other words, just like the history of human development in previous lives, human beings have had theories such as "geocentrism", "heliocentrism", "the earth is round and the sky is square", etc. in their understanding of this world. It is a bumpy road. Due to the limitations of scientific and technological levels and productivity, perhaps it is "reasonable" for people living in that era.

On the continent of Ryan Carnia, humans also have no concrete understanding of the vastness of the world and the universe itself.

Just like the deep sea is filled with powerful magical energy flows that are absolutely beyond the reach of human power, the sky above this place is still not an area that can be reached by human power alone. It is like a solid glass cover woven by magical energy that separates everything below the atmosphere from space.

The huge volume of magic restricts the "world" to the area from the ground to the sky. Even a strong person like Tricia cannot break through this barrier, let alone other people. Therefore, the human beings in this world can only understand the world within this range.

As for Elsa, she had never actually broken through this planet's atmosphere, and naturally, she had never personally seen what space here was like. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, but Elsa was worried that she wouldn't be able to control her power. If she accidentally jumped out of this planet, it would be no fun. In outer space with no leverage, what if she couldn't get back? Although she wouldn't die, Elsa didn't look forward to an alien journey at all.

But that was a year or two ago. Maybe I can try it now with the help of magic, Aisha thought.

"Yu refers to the four directions and up and down, and Zhou refers to the past and present—the universe encompasses infinite space and infinite time, all matter and its forms."

Elsa kept "teaching" Adele - although Elsa's knowledge in this area could only be described as poor and she could not be considered a competent teacher, it was not difficult to instill one-sided ideas. As long as the other party believed it, even the most basic argumentation process could be avoided.

But Adele listened very seriously - no, it would be better to say that Adele was completely immersed in it. She looked like a child waiting for candy, staring at Elsa eagerly.

This is a bit surprising. Perhaps Adele herself is more interested in these things? Just like students who like to focus on the extracurricular reading in the textbook - new things are very attractive to most people.

What Elsa didn't know was that in Adele's view, Elsa was completely instilling in her a completely new concept of power - a person's understanding of the world itself is, to a certain extent, the basis of the power he can use, and it is also the limit of his power.

477. Knowledge is power

If a person does not understand what "water" is, then he will not be able to use "water" and naturally will not be able to understand what the magic of "water" is.

If no one has ever seen "fire", then no one will be able to use "fire", and any artificial creation based on fire will not be able to be born.

This is a very simple truth. Of course, the "seen" here does not mean that it must be confirmed with the eyes to be "seen". It is like air, which cannot be seen, but people all know that humans and animals cannot survive without air. It is also like the ubiquitous magic element, which cannot be seen, but magicians can use it for their own benefit.

In short, "knowledge" itself is undoubtedly a very important foundation for magic users. It is for this reason that any school of magic except the abominable Abyss Magic has been preserved and passed down, no matter how foolish, terrible, or taboo its views may seem to others.

Because it represents a "possibility that may have been overlooked", a "knowledge that may really exist", and also represents "power that may be realized in the future".

What Elsa is doing is to subvert the foundation of Adele's power and show her a "power" she has never heard of or seen before, an unimaginable and huge "power", just like the power Elsa showed her.

How unbelievable it was that Elsa told her such a great secret?

Adele was deeply moved.

For a moment, Adele wondered if Elsa was lying to her.

But would Elsa lie to her? What a joke! How could it be possible? Why would Elsa make up such a story to lie to her? Elsa was so powerful. If she wanted to play a trick on her, there would be a much simpler way, right?

So Adele believed it without a doubt, and took it for granted that all this was the reason why Elsa was so strong. At the same time, she had a complicated thought in her heart - Elsa, why did you tell her this?

Come to think of it, although Elsa looked fierce, she hadn't done anything to her... Elsa had even asked her name before, and had always called her "Adele" instead of "Star God"...

Could it be that Aisha is actually a good person? I have always misunderstood her?

Adele unconsciously missed a few words, and when she realized it, Elsa mentioned something she didn't understand -

"...So, strictly speaking, 'universe' should probably be considered a...philosophical concept, or 'world'."

"Philosophy...? What is that?"

Adele was stunned again - is philosophy a new magical theory that has been developed now?

"This one……"

Elsa seemed to choke as well, taking a shallow breath.

Unfortunately, there is no clear concept of philosophy in this world, or rather, it exists but is not clear - because no one has specifically put forward this abstract concept, so it is very scattered and difficult to summarize easily with clear words.

After all, nothing is more abstract than magic, so people's thinking may have been diverted by this - Aisha guessed.

"Let's skip this question for now."

Elsa didn't want to teach a philosophy class because she didn't understand it herself.

Along the way, Elsa told Adele a lot of things, mostly some picked-out "common sense", and Adele listened very carefully - to others, it looked like an older sister taking her younger sister for a walk and telling stories.

Not long after, Elsa followed her memory and came to the inn where she had stayed before. She came here to find Grace. Grace and the little fox girl Lacey had been staying here temporarily. Elsa came to see the situation and to ask Grace Ebusen and Silvers where they were now. Elsa needed to find them to buy flint and clothes.

"Grace."

Aisha knocked gently on the guest room door, but no one answered.

"Someone has set up a magical barrier here to forbid trespassing. It looks like the people inside should have left—but you just broke the barrier."

Adele said.

Elsa sensed it briefly and found that there seemed to be no one inside the door, so she used electric current to directly open the lock. This little trick made Adele, who was standing beside her, stunned again.

"It's called electromagnetism, an application of lightning magic."

Elsa said, pushing the door open. Adele still looked completely confused, but she knew that Elsa must be talking about something extraordinary again, even if it was just a little trick to unlock a lock.

When I came to the room, there seemed to be a hint of Grace and Lacey's scent lingering in the room, but the room was empty. Grace and the little fox girl Lacey were not there.

The room was far from tidy. There were a few books and a few magic stones on the table. Only a witch like Grace would carelessly leave these valuable things lying around.

Aisha walked forward and flipped through it casually.

It seemed to be a book about demi-humans, and it looked quite old. The pages were yellowed and hardened, and some of the words were blurred. The page with the bookmark was about the research on the living habits of the fox people.

It can be seen that Grace cares about Lacey very much - which is not surprising. It is because Elsa can see that Grace actually likes children, so she specially handed Lacey over to her care.

Aisha looked around again and saw a few dirty clothes piled in the corner next to the bed. They looked like Lacey's.

"Are they going to the Adventurer's Guild... so early?"

Aisha thought.

For some reason, everything about Grace that he had seen in the dream world suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Elsa pursed her lips slightly.

"Adele, let's go."

Elsa came downstairs. Although it was still early, there were already a few diners dining in the hotel. Elsa took a quick look and didn't see anyone she knew, so she found the hotel proprietress and asked her a few questions. The proprietress seemed to have an impression of Elsa and didn't hide anything from her.

I felt a little relieved when I learned that Grace had just left.

I asked about Ebusen and Silbaz again, but the proprietress had no impression of them at all.

"Not everyone is as beautiful and impressive as you, little girl," the landlady said with a smile. "So many people stay at my place every day, it's hard for me to remember them all."

After thanking the proprietress, Aisha went straight to the guild.

However, Grace and Lacey were not in the guild either. Elsa waited for a while and asked other people, but found out that she had not seen "a gray-haired woman with a child" in the morning.

Aisha left the guild.

"It's really hard to find people in this world. It would be great if I had a cell phone."

Elsa sighed, and Adele was confused again - cell phone...? What was that?

"You wait here."
