"And those deaths and injuries have nothing to do with me. I have never killed anyone." Crow stood up from the chair, knelt on the ground without hesitation and said, "Sir, are you coming to the Western Continent to save us? Can you take me away? Take me to the Eastern Continent? I really don't want to stay in this shithole. Just take me away, I can do anything for you."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You don't want me to save your companion Guanque?"
The crow said humbly, "Of course not, but saving the stork is a very risky thing. You have just arrived here and are not familiar with everything on the mainland. I can't put you in such a dangerous situation. What's more, you don't even know her. How can I make such a request?"
"What about your other companions?"
"If you want to see them, I can naturally call them all over." said the crow.
Xiao Chen said: "Show me your skills first?"
"What do you want to see?"
"Your best magic, or what you call witchcraft."
Crow stood up, raised his hand nervously, and then put it down. He said, "But will you let me cast a spell in this room?"
Xiao Chen said: "Don't worry, just use all your strength to cast the spell. No matter what kind of magic it is, you can do your best."
Crow looked at Xiao Chen, but didn't dare to cast a spell on him. He looked around the room for a while, and finally set his target on a wooden chair in the living room. He waved his hands in the air, and then a ball of fire shot out from the palms of his hands. But just as the fire was about to approach the chair, a light curtain came from nowhere and wrapped around the chair. The fire sprayed on the light curtain without causing any effect on the chair.
Mei Tiantian, who was standing behind Xiao Chen, said, "I have protected everything in this room. Your attacks will be blocked by the shield wherever they land. Use all your strength."
Crow was even more surprised. He thought that most of the people in the room were ordinary guards and maids, but he didn't expect this very young-looking woman to take action that he couldn't understand at all.
He changed his spell and released a bolt of lightning, but his control was not good. The lightning did not hit the chair, but instead deviated to Luo Ling beside Xiao Chen. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, but at this moment, he found that his spell was dissolved by a strange force. At this time, he finally understood what the adult meant by trying his best. It turned out that he was not the only one who was strong among these people. Everyone was a master that he could not imagine.
Then, Crow tried his best to cast three or four spells that he was good at, such as sleep spell, speed spell, etc. His method of casting was very crude, and the effect of the magic was also very poor, but everyone in the room watched it very carefully, as if they had seen something new.
Xiao Chen took out a Chinese book from the Traveler's Heart, showed it to the crow, and asked, "Do you recognize these characters?"
After taking the book, Crow looked at it carefully and said, "Sir, I have never seen such words. Is this the language of your continent?"
"Never seen it?"
“Never.”
Xiao Chen asked, "You haven't seen it anywhere? For example, in ruins, or in books, or anywhere else."
"Sir, there really is none. The writing we use is made up of letters. There is no other language in the Western Continent."
"Sure enough, no wonder I felt that his mental power did not form any magic runes during the casting process." Luo Ling said thoughtfully, "Magic runes are not popular on this continent. Naturally, a more direct method must be used to cast spells, but this seems to be different from the casting method of the Source Tower. It feels... a lot different."
After hearing Luo Ling's comments, Crow said hurriedly, "Sir, the magic here cannot be compared with yours. Except for a small number of spells that have been secretly passed down, most of them are tried out by us. Although they are a bit crude, they still contain some of our own experience."
"No, no, no." Xiao Chen said: "Maybe the effect is a little worse, but that's a matter of realm. His method is very unique and seems to be helpful in perfecting our way of casting spells.
Did you notice that when we cast spells using the Tower of Source, our mental power generally remained in the same state to capture the magic elements. But when he casts magic, the form of his mental power keeps changing."
Umeda said, "I also discovered this. He just cast six spells. There are also six forms when the mental power contacts the magic element. Although the differences between some forms are very small, they are still different."
Xiao Chen said to Crow: "Can you tell us why your mental power changes like that when you cast a spell?"
The crow said, "The magic power you are talking about should be what we call the source of witchcraft, right? This is something that most wizards know. By changing the structure of mental power, you can control the magic power more specifically. Although the improvement is not huge, it is good to increase the power by 10% or 20%. For a certain kind of magic power, what form is best to manipulate it has always been the focus of every wizard's research, and it is also something we often trade with each other."
"You mean, many wizards have their own special methods of manipulating mental power?" Xiao Chen asked.
The crow said, "Yes. I am best at manipulating the source of fire magic. So I can use the same fire magic faster and stronger than others. Of course, it is not worth mentioning in front of you adults, but for me, it is already a very difficult thing. I have been studying the method of manipulating this kind of fire for nearly eight years. Even the great wizards may not be better than me in this aspect."
Xiao Chen had memorized his method of operation when he just cast the spell. He stretched out his left hand and touched the magic power as usual, and a fireball formed in his hand.
Then he stretched out his right hand, imitating the mental power pattern of the crow in his memory to gather magic power and generate another fireball.
He felt it carefully and said, "It is really effective. The speed is 10% faster. As for the power, you can feel it yourself."
Mei Tiantian said: "It is about 20% stronger. This does not require any realm improvement, nor does it require additional costs. Everyone can do this through simple learning. This is so valuable! I never thought that the magicians here could figure this out in such an environment."
Seeing that everyone in the room was praising his method, Crow was secretly delighted. He said, "Because we don't have any inheritance, it's very difficult for us to improve our realm, so we can only use our brains on these things."
