Chapter 51: Albania

Once there are clues, the research process will be much faster. But even so, the work of restoring ancient magic texts is still an extreme test of Maka's depth of understanding of magic theory.

Although there are already 22 pseudo-Phoenician characters as a reference, it still takes a lot of time to try a little bit of inference.

It took nearly two weeks before Maka finally put down the quill in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, food and water would occasionally appear out of thin air on the floor. It seems that no matter what period of time the elves are in, it has always been one of their habits to appear in front of people as much as possible.

Of course, the initial noisy farce must be excluded first. After all, for these little guys who have lived on this island from the beginning, "human beings" are simply ancient creatures that only appear in bedtime stories. legend…

"These characters do have traces of rules. It seems that the person who summarized the Phoenician characters is definitely not a businessman, but an ancient wizard!"

Maka held the notebook in front of her eyes and looked at the 22 characters that were faintly exuding vague information, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Although the information conveyed by these runes is clearer and easier to understand than the rule runes on the Scroll of Truth, the completeness of the rules contained in them is far less than the real rule runes, but it can be used for reference research. "

He raised his head, only to find that the symbols around him were fading away in large swaths, dispersing into the air one by one. But those 22 Phoenician characters didn’t disappear—they changed!

Under the reflection of the Phoenician runes in Maka's notebook, the surrounding 22 Phoenician characters gradually transformed into real runes, and constantly changed their order, faintly exuding a regular fluctuation.

"What's going on?" Maka looked down at her hands, and couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear in her heart.

Ever since Christmas Day, when she felt something in the center of Luna's back, Maka found that she could cast the silver-white mist of the Patronus Charm without a wand.

And from that moment on, Maka could occasionally feel the breath of her own magic power, but it was not obvious at the time.

This situation continued until he began to study the Book of Truth.

When those rule runes conveyed the unknown rule atmosphere to Maka, he had a very vague understanding of the concept of "magic".

But now, Maka discovered that he actually felt the magic in himself!

No, it's not just me, I can feel the magic in the surrounding air... and even on Willy's body! It's just that it's relatively vague.

"This... is really magic!" Maka couldn't help but close her eyes and focus all her attention.

"It's amazing! It's a different world!"

After savoring this novel feeling, Maka quickly fell into deep thought. After many long-term studies, this kind of thinking has almost become his instinct.

"Being able to feel the magic is obviously due to the arrangement and reorganization of the Phoenician runes... What does this mean?" He thought about it and immediately had a new idea, "No, before that..."

He opened his eyes, stretched his hand forward, and lightly moved it in the air. Immediately, a faint magic ribbon was left wherever the fingertips passed.

It's just that this trace of magic is extremely unstable, like paint poured into the river, it spreads quickly, and soon merges with the magic in the air, and is no longer controlled by Maka's induction.

Maka frowned when she saw this.

After he thought about it for a while, he took out the wand from his sleeve as if he had some realization, and swiped it slightly in front of him again.

This was the first time Maka had the most intuitive feeling for the wizard's wand.

I saw the magic power flowing through the arm and pouring into the body of the staff, quietly condensing at the tip of the staff, and following Maka's will, it left a more solid trace of magic power in the air!

"Levitate into the sky!" Maka waved her wand and cast a levitating spell on the suitcase on the ground.

The box slowly rose under Maka's control, but most of Maka's attention was focused on the tip of the staff. This time, he saw the clear magic trace left by the tip of the wand when he waved it just now.

Those trajectories changed slightly with the spells. It was actually driven by Macana's will to "lift the suitcase into the air" that several incomplete regular runes composed of magic flow quickly flashed past.

"Material drives the appearance, and the spirit deduces the rules..." Maka couldn't help but read this sentence again, "Unexpectedly, the answer I guessed in order to answer the question is actually hidden in every spell cast!"

"In that case, why not just try—"

Maka said, waving the wand again, but this time the waving speed was extremely slow, and the movement was as delicate as drawing a picture in the air with magic flow.

He wants to use magic power to directly write the rule runes!

But even if there is a wand to help solidify the magic flow, as long as the regular runes are not completed as soon as possible, it will eventually dissipate over time. Maka's attempt was not successful.

The level of precision required to draw the rule runes and the concentration of the artist's will are simply too high. Even writing it correctly on paper takes a long time, and drawing it in the air with a wand is obviously even more difficult.

"Or not."

After many attempts, Maka had to stop. Because he discovered that those Phoenician magic texts were about to dissipate.

After hurriedly jotting down the combination in his notebook, the magic text quickly disappeared. This room has returned to its original state, seeming to be quietly waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.

"I can only continue my research if I have a chance..."

Maka closed her eyes and sensed the magic power in her body again. Although it was clearer than before, it was still not as clear and definite as before.

"Are you leaving?" Willie stood up and said softly.

"Huh? Oh, yes!" Maka came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Let's go directly to Albania. It's about the same distance as when we came to this island. We can rest there again."

After hearing this, Willy immediately picked up her luggage, turned around and walked out the door without saying anything.

"..." Maka was stunned for a while and said with a wry smile, "Well, it's good to be obedient..."

When Maka and the others went back, they did not encounter those strange elves again. Maybe they have hidden somewhere, or maybe they have other things to do.

Maka didn't want to search for it deliberately.

For those little elves here who seem to be "free". He felt that it was most appropriate not to disturb their lives. The outside world is not suitable for them to survive, so just let them continue to live safely and happily on this island.

When he flew away from the island with Willie, he inadvertently turned around and saw a group of small figures pushing and playing with each other on the beach. After being slightly surprised, I felt a little relieved for no reason.

After all, they are two countries facing each other across the sea. The scenery in Albania is similar to that in Italy. Just because of various historical reasons, Albania's level of development is far lower than that of Italy.

This is an empty and slightly barren country, with patches of farmland everywhere. Although it is not as gorgeous and colorful as Italy, it still has its own unique natural charm.

Maka found a B&B to rest for the night, and early the next morning she took Willie to fly inland.

Albania's terrain is mostly mountainous and hilly, with ravines everywhere seen from a high altitude, and from time to time there are small and medium-sized lakes embedded in the interlaced valleys.

And this time the destination is hidden under one of the small lakes.

Although the terrain here has changed somewhat, it is still an undeveloped area in the mountains. Maka quickly found the small lake named "Liquini".

"Miss Blois, I'll go down first to see if there's any danger. You wait on the shore for a while."

Maka recited a head-soaking spell on herself, put a water-and-fire invulnerability spell on her body, and then walked towards the water.

"When you become more proficient in the Seamless Stretching Charm in the future, you can consider making a smaller bag, at least to contain all the potion bottles on your body..." He muttered as he pounced forward and dived into the water.

Probably because of the large amount of flow all year round, the water quality of Lake Liquini is very clear, and the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen underwater. Maka walked around for a while and soon found a deep cave hidden behind the underwater rocks.

He glanced back subconsciously, and then decided to go in and take a look first.

The cave is not big, but it is enough to accommodate three people.

After continuing to dive for a while, there was suddenly no water in front of us. Caught off guard, Maka fell onto the rock. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to protect her face first to avoid being disfigured.

When he rubbed his arms and looked up, he found that he had arrived in an underground world that was separated from the lake by magic.

He was standing on a flat rock at the moment. If he took a few steps forward, he could see the stairs that continued to go down. It was so dark below that almost nothing could be seen clearly, but the sound of gurgling water could be faintly heard coming from underneath.

"Fluorescent flash—" Maka flicked the wand, but then waved it again, "Maximize!"

The light on the tip of the wand suddenly surged, and with Maka's swing, it broke away from the wand, flew forward in a parabola for a certain distance, and then fell far away towards the bottom.

Through the bright light, Maka could roughly see the situation below. When he saw a door embedded in the stone wall from a distance, he was sure that he had indeed found the right place.

Maka thought for a while and then said to herself: "It's better to bring Willy down first. It may not be very safe to leave her alone on the shore..."
