I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

"Pray for a spell?"

Lu Juan has watched quite a few magic-themed movies, but most fantasy movies don't carefully show the details of the magic setting in that world.

Or just say a spell and the staff will start to glow, and the bridge will collapse with one stick.

Or call Avada to eat a big melon, and a green light can make people die.

Or simply wear some pendant and put on some wonderful poses to turn back time.

As for how magic works and how it is released, it is very idealistic.

Of course, the heart that believes is your magic, and magic is originally an ideal thing.

He was a little curious.

"You use magic over there, do you still need to pray?"

"Yes, we need to pray to the gods for spells after midnight every day, and then the gods will give us spells that can be used. In a day, these spells can be used infinitely."

Shia nodded slightly.

"However, the foreign land is far away from my world, and the response of the gods is also a bit slow. I can only display about 70% of my strength."

She raised her armored hand and moved her fingers in a snapping gesture.

Some kind of invisible ripples rippling from the space, he only felt the breeze, and didn't know what happened.

"Just now I used a detection technique, which can detect threats within a hundred meters nearby...Well, there seems to be something sleeping under the desert. I hope we won't disturb it."

"Amazing!"

Lu Jian applauded softly, then asked again.

"So can you knead bread now?"

"...I, I didn't pray for the art of making food."

Shia said as if sorry.

"Can't use the corresponding magic without praying? Magic is such an inconvenience?"

Lu Jian felt very strange.

"Magic is not something that humans can easily touch. Only the gods can bestow supernatural powers. Before the establishment of the Gray Tower, we were plagued by the tide of magic in the Black Forest. Under the leadership of the founder of the Gray Tower, humans gradually came into contact with miracles. , turning the magic that only a few god-chosen could barely use into a miracle that mortals can touch."

When Shia said this, her tone was reverent. It seemed that the founder of the Gray Tower and what he had done had indeed improved the living environment of the Kingdom of the Night.

"So what spell did you pray for?"

Lu Jian asked again.

"This is a secret."

Shia didn't answer.

"In the Kingdom of the Night, it is an absolute secret what spells each mage can pray for, and what spells he prays for every day, because as long as he knows what spells a mage can use today, he can target his weaknesses. Do it, so even if it is my teacher, I will not tell him what spell I prayed for today!"

She explained it seriously.

"Well, I hope you have some combat spells."

Lu Jian didn't ask carefully. The ultimate science is no different from magic, and vice versa. The so-called magic may mean that things change in a way beyond common sense. He thinks that what Shia masters is probably similar to big fireballs, blizzards and the like. Spells, like bazookas and mortars, can be defeated when encountering enemies.

"Speaking of which, people who are not from your world, such as me, can pray to your gods to obtain spells?"

He was a little eager to try again.

"I've never tried this..."

Shia seemed to be stumped by this question. She pondered for a moment, then turned the pages of the book, looking for something intently.

The firelight reflected her side face, and her green eyes were shining brightly, a color that Lu Jian had never seen before.

He waited for a long time, maybe half an hour, and the girl in armor was still flipping through the books.

Lu Jian felt that he might not be able to wait, so he stood up and looked at the scenery on the edge of the dune.

Even if the people around her disappeared, Shia didn't react at all, and seemed to be immersed in the joy of reading.

Lu Jian squeezed a handful of sand. This kind of gravel is silver in color, and it is finer than the sand on the beach. It flows easily from the fingers without touching the skin.

Curiously, he squeezed some more and stuck out his tongue to taste.

"It smells like sand."

After spitting out the gravel, Lu Jian looked at the wasteland under the starry sky.

There is no moon in this world, and there are no city lights, so the stars are extraordinarily bright. Only then did he realize that there were no clouds in the sky. Looking far away, the entire night sky was like obsidian, pure and shining.

However, on the other side of the horizon, nothing but sand is sand. The endless sand dunes form a monotonous land, forming a sharp contrast with the colorful starry sky.

"People in this foreign land live in this desert? But how to ensure water and food? Is it true that they all eat bugs? I saw water reserves in the luggage of camels. It seems that there should be other terrains besides deserts." , there might be an oasis or something.”

he thought.

But these have nothing to do with his mission this time. The unnamed city and the ruins full of treasure must be in the desert. Considering the situation of the mission, just don't meet other wasteland hunters.

Back beside the bonfire, Lu Jian saw that Shia was still flipping through the book.

"...Actually, I'm not that persistent in using spells, so you don't have to look for them."

He patted Shia on the shoulder.

The girl is reading.

Nothing happens.

"Uh, Miss Shia?"

Lu Jian stretched out his hand and shook it between her eyes and the page.

Still no response.

"Fell asleep?"

He leaned over to take a look, and the girl in armor kept her eyes open, and even turned the pages to read, but she didn't respond to Lu Lian's call.

Like some kind of puppet.

"......there is a problem?"

Lu Jian didn't know if there were any ghosts or monsters in this desert that could turn people into puppets. He hurriedly took out a crowbar and knocked hard on the armor behind Shia's head.

bang——

The crisp sound echoed in the desert.

Lu Jian saw that Shia's movement of turning the pages of the book stopped.

As if a puppet suddenly turned into a human, Shia raised her head, her eyes filled with agility again, she looked at Lu Ban, and then at the crowbar in Lu Lan's hand.

"what are you doing?"

So ask.

"Just now you..."

Lu Jian hesitated to speak.

"It's a spell."

Shia explained.

"This spell is called reading. After releasing the book, it can keep my body in a state of reading and learn knowledge. At the same time, my own consciousness can rest and do other things."

"?"

Is it true that the textbook has grown up and learned to drill itself into the mind?

Lu Jian didn't quite understand.

He only knew that this thing must be super useful in class.

"Well, I just found a way to learn spells, and now I can try it for you."

Shia spoke again, making Lu Jian excited.
