Witch Special

Chapter 385: End of studies, farewell to Scarlet Devil Mansion again.

However, when Lin Zhenxi took out the body of the Girl of Light from the Space Cube, Teacher Patchouli seemed a little confused. Judging from her expression, she did not seem to recognize the exquisite Valkyrie automatic figure that Lin Zhenxi took out.

After Lin Zhenxi explained that this was a prize she'd opened from a treasure chest she'd received as a reward for clearing a level, Patchouli's eyes flickered as if to say, "What the hell are you talking about?" From her expression, it was clear that the matter of the Maiden of Light probably had nothing to do with her at all.

Lin Zhenxi suddenly let out a breath of cold air, and the Girl of Light in his hand automatically transformed into a human form, which was extremely terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

"Teacher, if I say that the Source Spirits stuffed her into my hands, would you believe me?"

"Source Spirits?" Teacher Patchouli wanted to take the Girl of Light over to study her, but the Girl of Light, who had been very obedient in Lin Zhenxi's hands, suddenly raised the toothpick sword in her hand and pointed it at Teacher Patchouli's hand.

"Daughter of Light, what are you doing? Put down your sword." When Lin Zhenxi saw that the Daughter of Light actually raised her sword towards Teacher Patchouli, she immediately slapped the automatic humanoid's head in anger.

But Teacher Patchouli had already given up the idea of ​​taking the Girl of Light and flipping through it. She said to Lin Zhenxi sternly, "Forget it. This was given to you by Master Yuanling, so Master Yuanling must have had his reasons behind it. Since she has come to your side, it means that there is a mission for her to fulfill."

"Use her well. She will be a great helper to you in your future journey."

"That's indeed true. If it weren't for the Maiden of Light, I wouldn't be able to make a single move in the Moon-Watching difficulty level." Lin Zhenxi hugged the Maiden of Light to her chest. After a moment's thought, she tentatively said, "Teacher, a single Maiden of Light isn't very effective. But in the Festival World, she can assimilate the soldiers she produces into clones of herself, then connect the energy of those smaller clones to her own. As long as the number of soldiers under her command reaches a certain level, she will become very powerful."

"So I want to ask, teacher, what's the principle behind the light ball you give each player in the celebration world that allows them to build bases and produce soldiers? Can I learn it?"

After Lin Zhenxi asked this, she felt a little embarrassed. This time in the Garden of Death, she had gained so much, yet she still wanted more. Was she too greedy?

Fortunately, Teacher Patchouli was not dissatisfied with Lin Zhenxi because of this. She even thought that the mechanism of the Maiden of Light was very interesting. They were obviously two unrelated systems. How did the Maiden of Light interact with the Fantasy War she designed?

"In fact, what you want is already in your hands."

"But I think it's not quite what you imagined. If you expect to get a stable, physical projection out of thin air, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Already got it?

Oh, it’s the “world in the painting”. Did Teacher Patchouli put this thing in the scroll?

But didn’t Teacher Patchouli already paint the world in the painting white? Is it still useful?

Wait, this is a painting, not a sand basin landscape. If you want to create a new landscape, you have to flatten the old one. Although Patchouli painted the world in the painting white, the original picture is simply covered by the white layer, not disappeared.

Perhaps, everything that once existed in the celebration world was still sealed within the painting, but because of the layer of white mist, the original entities had disappeared. However, they had only changed their form of existence, not disappeared.

Seeing the look of sudden enlightenment on Lin Zhenxi's face, Patchouli knew that she had guessed the answer to the question, so she nodded and said, "That's right. The world in the painting contains a complete record of the physical projection. You can directly call up the old records to replicate this technology."

"But I think it's quite different from what you'd expect, creating people out of thin air. Perhaps it's not as useful as you think."

This was the second time Patchouli had emphasized the drawbacks of this technique. Lin Zhenxi first sent the Girl of Light back to the Space Cube before asking, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the energy flow in the painting world is a closed loop, any energy consumption in the painting world does not actually change the total energy volume of the painting world. Therefore, no matter how many soldiers you have the base produce in the celebration world, you do not need to pay for it."

"But leaving the world in the painting and creating things out of thin air violates the basic laws of the world. Unless you can fit the entire world into an environment similar to the world in the painting and become the master of that environment, you must pay for any changes."

"In fact, the cost of materializing the projection is not low. Perhaps you can do more with that magic power."

"But if you still think that the combination of Materialized Projection and the Maiden of Light is more valuable, then I recommend that you find an additional source of mana. After all, using your own mana to create Materialized Projection is a waste."

As expected... Lin Zhenxi was a little disappointed, but then she thought, how could such a small-sized Lady of Light that can read six characters per minute be obtained for free? Even the basic theorem has been overturned. How could it be so beautiful?

And even if it required energy, it wasn't useless. It was just magic, after all. Lin Zhenxi already had two ways to generate extra magic: the Laser Fusion Reactor and the Burning Rain Pillar, and perhaps more would be added in the future. She'd just find a place to hide and build up her army. She was happy to quietly amass her wealth, then unleash it one day and shock everyone.

With the collapse of the celebration world, Lin Zhen no longer had any reason to remain in the Garden of Departure. The gains she had made from this trip far exceeded her expectations. Now, Lin Zhenxi felt like she'd grown fat from a sudden overdose, her strength dwindling. Rather than seeking further strength gains, she felt she needed to find a place to settle down and truly transform her newfound knowledge into her own strength.

Teacher Patchouli also guessed that Lin Zhenxi was about to leave. She did not have the habit of trying to keep others. Even though Lin Zhenxi was her disciple, it was still very difficult for her to come to the Garden of Death, and she did not receive any special treatment in this regard.

After a final snack in the rest area, Lin Zhenxi formally bid Patchouli farewell. Before leaving, however, she asked Patchouli for a thick stack of blank spell card templates. Compared to the templates she had rolled herself, those Patchouli provided were far superior in both capacity and durability.

Even after studying for over half a year, Lin Zhenxi was still a complete novice when it came to spell cards. Especially after seeing several spell cards from the mosaic red and white miko in the festival world, Lin Zhenxi became even more aware of his own shortcomings.

Having deficiencies means there is room for improvement, and having many deficiencies also means there is a lot of room for improvement. This is not a bad thing, is it?

As long as you keep a relaxed mindset, no matter how big the problem is, it is not a problem.

Taking the blank spell card template that Teacher Patchouli had casually made, Lin Zhenxi said goodbye to Teacher Patchouli, then left the Bavaru Great Magic Library and returned to the ground.

When Lin Zhenxi was chatting with Teacher Patchouli before, she completely forgot about the time. Now, when she pushed open the wooden door connecting the Bavaru Great Magic Library and the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and saw the bright sky outside the window opposite, she realized that it was already dawn outside.

This is good. I don’t have to worry about running into the Scarlet Devil Mansion’s leader and her second sister at dawn. They should be sleeping during the day.

Lin Zhenxi walked out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion amid the chattering and illogical questions of a group of fairy maids. The fairy maids dispersed after seeing Lin Zhenxi walk out of the gate of the mansion. Although they were noisy, they still abided by the scope of activities set by the head maid.

It is not easy to make the fairy maids behave themselves. I don’t know what kind of punishment the head maid has prepared for them that made them remember this matter for such a long time.

There were also fairy maids working in the garden outside the mansion, carrying watering cans taller than themselves and diligently watering the plants, but most of them missed the target, or else wielded their long garden shears like swords, looking quite arrogant. While they weren't doing much serious work, it was at least quite lively.

Lin Zhenxi quietly slipped under the fairy maids flying in the sky. Because she cast a magic to reduce her presence, the fairy maids did not notice Lin Zhenxi. In this way, Lin Zhenxi arrived at the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion smoothly. Then, she was surprised to find that the gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion was not sleeping, but practicing Tai Chi in front of the guard box where she was standing.

It should be Tai Chi, right? Lin Zhenxi didn't know much about boxing, but seeing the red-haired Miss Menban's movements so slowly, one circle after another, it felt like Tai Chi.

Miss Menban's intuition was extremely sharp. The spell on Lin Zhenxi was still continuing, but she still immediately noticed Lin Zhenxi's arrival, put away her posture, and turned to look at Lin Zhenxi.

"Huh? Who are you?" she asked, looking straight at Lin Zhenxi.

"I'm Lin Zhenxi, a student of Teacher Patchouli. Good morning, Miss Hong Meiling." Lin Zhenxi saw Menban's clenched fists and hurriedly explained.

"Oh~ I remember, you haven't been here for several years." Hong Meiling knocked her head, with a silly smile on her face.

"Yeah, it's not easy to come here, after all, it's quite far away." Lin Zhenxi greeted Hong Meiling while walking around her. At the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, he took out his magic broom from the space cube and sat down on it.

"Then I'll be leaving first, Miss Hong Meiling. See you next time."

"Oh, have a good trip!" The red-haired Miss Menban smiled brightly and waved goodbye to Lin Zhenxi.
