Chapter 7 The Mouse Tail

The magic that Xili built up with great difficulty was instantly dispelled by Joshua, which greatly affected Xili's self-confidence and fighting spirit.

However, driven by the desire to survive, Ciri still mobilized the magic power on her body, and the pale white magic power formed a sharp arrow and shot towards the direction of the door.

The impact just now extinguished the candles in the room, and Ciri could only see her surroundings clearly with the light from the magic inscription beside her, but from a human perspective, her sight range was only about one or two meters away. .

Hit?

Ciri gripped the staff tightly in his hand to watch his surroundings, and at the same time began to quickly construct the lowest level of 'light technique'.

The moment the spell was constructed, a white ball of light slowly rose beside Ciri, and the light dispelled the darkness in the room, as well as... Qiao Xiu who was standing in front of Ciri.

When the female magic apprentice saw Qiao Xiu suddenly appearing in front of her, her panic and uneasiness exploded in an instant. She screamed, and before she could even construct the spell, she directly raised the staff in her hand and waved it at Qiao Xiu. Down.

It's a pity that this female magic apprentice's strength is too weak, and Joshua easily held her arm.

The arm being grabbed didn't make Shirley feel any pain. Joshua used very light force and didn't mean to hurt her. He just blocked Shirley's reckless... physical attack this time.

Dominated by panic, Ciri tried to break free from Joshua's shackles, but she succeeded... Joshua let go of her arm, and at the same time, Ciri took several steps back to distance herself from Joshua.

She forced herself to calm down, and an unknown inscription appeared on the delicate wand in her hand again, and she began to prepare for the next offensive magic. At the same time, she kept her eyes on Joshua. Acting rashly, she didn't mind taking the risk of 'magic out of control' ahead of time and dying with Qiao Xiu.

"I advise you not to be so impulsive, unknown magician."

What Shirley didn't expect was that Joshua didn't intend to continue to attack, but picked up the candle beside the table and lit it without haste.

While Joshua was lighting the candles, Ciri seized the time to build a new offensive magic, but her eyes noticed Joshua pointing to her neck.

my neck?

Shirley was slightly taken aback, only then did Shirley notice the abnormality on her neck, as if something was tied around her neck.

This strange feeling made Shirley glance sideways at the mirror beside him, and then with the light of the illumination technique, Shirley could clearly see a... red crystal appeared on his neck at some point.

This gem-like crystal is stitched on a black ribbon... Those who don't know may think that this is some kind of expensive necklace, which is quite expensive.

But Ciri clearly knew that he didn't have the money to buy something as expensive as a ruby!

This is the devil who forcibly put it on her at some point.

When Shirley looked at Joshua again, she found that he was holding the same red crystal in his hand.

In order to demonstrate the function of this crystal, Qiao Xiu lightly threw it on the ground. The moment the crystal fell to the ground, a not-so-destructive explosion appeared centered on the crystal, and the sound echoed throughout the room.

"..."

Ciri looked at the cracked floor due to the explosion, completely forgot what magic to construct, and immediately tried to tear the thing off his neck with both hands.

The power of the crystal explosion was not great, and it could barely separate Shirley's head and body.

This thing can also be regarded as one of the masterpieces of the third prince. Qiao Xiu casually touched it on the workbench. It is a small tool that works.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't break free from the shackles of this thing with your strength."

Can't break free? Doesn't that mean the same thing as a slave's collar?

Ciri instantly realized how dangerous a situation he was in.

This demon didn't take her life immediately, but put this kind of thing on her...

Ciri gritted her teeth, she had already made up her mind to swear to the death in order to protect her chastity.

But... wait a minute, does it matter that Zhen Jie has its own life?

Ciri thought about it for just two seconds, and finally came up with an answer...no!

"What do you want from me?"

Shirley used the last ounce of courage in her body to ask Joshua.

"What do you get? There are quite a lot of things I want, starting with your name, what is your name?"

Joshua took advantage of this time to light up all the extinguished candles in the room, and the light spell released by Ciri gradually disappeared.

"I... Ciri."

Considering his own life, Ciri thought for a while and chose to answer truthfully.

"Shirley? Do you know a Gwent player named Geralt, the one whose sub-profession is a witcher?"

The name Ciri is quite familiar to Joshua, the adopted daughter of the protagonist Geralt in The Witcher 3, but the character of the female magician in front of him is indeed a bit like Ciri in The Witcher 3.

"who?"

She didn't know any demon hunters, and if she did, she wouldn't be in the situation she is today.

"It's like I asked a redundant question. Next, I want to know what kind of magic you use."

This is what Qiao Xiu is eager to know. The magic used by this female magician is obviously completely different from that of the Chaos Demon.

She can use her magical powers to affect and control things around her, such as shooting books as weapons.

This is absolutely impossible for the magic power of Chaos Demon.

If it is to completely destroy this room, Joshua is confident that he can do it in a minute. As for using magic to move something, Joshua believes that even the Lord of the Demon Realm may not be able to do it.

It was this kind of magical power full of destruction and disorder that made the plan to control the screen inside the original spar become empty talk on paper, and Qiao Xiu didn't even know where to start.

But the magic Xili used gave Joshua a glimmer of hope.

"This is the power bestowed by Lloyd, the god of order, the power of order and rules."

Ciri has always been proud of her identity as a magician. When introducing the power she possesses to others, she certainly has no reason to hide it.

From Ciri's explanation, Qiao Xiu learned that the people of this world seem to firmly believe that 'magic power' is bestowed by the gods, and different gods bestow different magical powers. The magic power possessed by Ciri represents order and control. They This school of mages is also known as the white mage, in addition to many gods who control flames, thunder and lightning, etc.

Using the game consoles on the earth as a metaphor, just like Sony’s PS4, Microsoft’s XBOX and Nintendo’s switch, each player can make choices according to their own preferences, and the games owned by the consoles have common features. There are also exclusives, each with its own benefits and advantages.

god…

In this world full of magic and demons, it is no surprise to Qiao Xiu that there will be gods appearing, but the power of magic is bestowed by the gods?

For the time being, Qiao Xiu has reservations about this statement. Regardless of whether it is owned by the gods or not, in order to find a way to edit the original spar screen, Qiao Xiu must master this stable magic power.

"Tell me, how to learn the magic you have."
