Chapter 723: The Essence of Magic

The Dark Elf returned to the Hearthstone Tavern in the form of a crow, and Qiao Xiu also returned to the study not long ago.

"There were three heretics who met with the spy. How many of them lurked into Nolan is temporarily uncertain."

The dark elf directly told Joshua what he wanted to know.

"You killed them all?"

Joshua looked up and down at the dark elf's body. Her clothes were very neat, with no traces of blood or damage. From this, Joshua could tell that she hadn't experienced any battles.

"No, but their target is Her Highness Fuya, so if that guy gets close to Her Highness Fuya, I don't guarantee that I will be uncontrollable and kill him."

The dark elf said very seriously, this follower of Fuya would not allow such a blasphemer to approach her god.

"I consulted with the man in purple just now, and I think that spy should have no chance." Qiao Xiu said.

"The one in purple... Phantom, what tricks are you up to?" The dark elf immediately asked Qiao Xiu.

"I asked Fuya to participate in this Holy Spirit Open Competition only for one purpose, and that is to increase Fuya's popularity in Nolan, and to collect the power of faith for Fuya."

Although Fuya was not considered a World Tree in the traditional sense, Joshua felt that he was not far away from the legendary task of 'saving all the World Trees in the world'.

"The medium through which the power of faith is obtained is to allow believers to have a specific image, appearance, voice, personality and a whole host of other things."

Qiao Xiu can be regarded as an old gardener when it comes to planting trees, and he has already mastered many properties of the World Tree.

"Based on all these conditions, the person in purple can use illusions to complete it, a bit like a virtual idol."

"Is this plan just thought of by you?"

If the dark elves remembered correctly, during the day, Joshua was still thinking about how to place Fuya's mobile tower in the arenas of the four major higher magic academies.

"The phantom shown by the man in purple on the field today inspired me, so I just asked about it, and it seems that it is really feasible."

Joshua took out the schedule for tomorrow's game. Tomorrow there will be four games at Crohill High School of Magic. Among them, the Demon Realm is scheduled to play against an unknown team in the second game.

"Tomorrow, I will return to the Demon Realm with the purple-clothed man, and engrave a high-level phantom magic circle in Fuya's room. The ability of this magic circle is 'reflection'." Joshua's tone became a bit regretful when he said this. "It's a pity that Fuya's mobile tower can't appear for the time being."

"I will monitor the activities of the Inquisition."

After the dark elf heard about the changes in Joshua's plan for the next stage, all her previous worries disappeared.

Qiao Xiu watched as the dark elf turned into a crow again and flew out of his study.

"Phantom reflection..."

Qiao Xiu picked up a design drawing of the magic circle that the man in purple gave him before he left, as well as the principle of the magic circle.

In terms of principle, it is impossible to understand it only by relying on Qiao Xiu. At this time, we can only go to Ciri, who is gradually evolving into a literary girl.

…………

"On the road! On the road! Here I come... none of them can escape."

When Joshua walked into the room where the man in purple was teaching Ciri, he heard Ciri's voice

This spellcaster lady may only have a little of the quiet feeling of a literary girl when she is holding a book, and at other times she is a "wild girl" according to Ciri's sister Hellan.

Joshua leaned against the door and watched silently as Ciri finished the round of Holy Spirit.

Ciri has really held back for too long recently, and the purple-clothed person assigned a lot of learning tasks to her after she came back.

During the daytime competition today, Joshua could see Ciri studying a magic book.

Now that the purple-clothed person has become an undead, sleep has no meaning to her. Fortunately, this sage is not a skeleton man. She will go to the first floor of the Hearthstone Tavern to play Go at night.

Ciri also took advantage of this time to have fun with Jia Luoli and the others on the magic net to relax a little.

"The journey of the five black girl group is over?"

Joshua sat next to Shirley at the right time. All her teammates in this round were Joshua's acquaintances.

"Shirley... Is Joshua next to you? Then I can play this round..."

Joshua heard Jialuoli's shout through the magic net, but Shirley quickly turned off the magic net.

"Today's class is over for the time being. If it wasn't for too much homework recently, I would definitely score 3500 points." Shirley said.

"Then mind if I take up your game time and let you review your homework?"

Joshua took out the blueprint of the 'reflected illusion' magic circle left by the purple-clothed man.

"Mind you, I could have played two or three more rounds today." Ciri expressed her thoughts without any concealment, but she still took the blueprint from Joshua's hand, "but chatting with you... is barely better than playing games." A little bit more interesting."

"Anyway, I don't have many questions to ask, so we can talk about it together tonight." Qiao Xiu said.

"No, in that case, those little Bis... what do you want to know about the magic circle that reflects the illusion?" Ciri quickly stabilized her inner emotions.

"What I want to ask is not the magic circle, I just want to ask a few possibilities."

When Joshua talked about serious matters, he also tried his best to keep his thoughts away from Shirley.

Although the two of them are alone now, the person in purple may come back at any time.

"The first is is it possible for phantom magic to become... reality?"

This was the thing that Qiao Xiu cared about the most after he came into contact with the concept of illusion magic.

"It's such a difficult question from the beginning, I'll read the book later."

Ciri picked up the heavy magic book at hand. This book is not related to illusion magic. On the cover of the book it clearly says "Introduction to the Whole System of Magic"

For a magic apprentice who dared to beat up his teacher since he was a child, Joshua shouldn't expect Xili to have any high attainments in magic theory.

"Yes." Ciri pointed to a line of words on the thick book and said, "Magic itself uses magic power as currency and inscriptions as labels to materialize something that does not exist in this world. If you explain it ..."

Ciri put the book in her hand on the table, and a blue inscription appeared on her hand.

This is the inscription of flowing water and healing, and the one Ciri used should be the most basic one.

"I use magic power as currency now, and then summoned this with the inscription of 'Congealing Water'."

A floating water polo appeared in Ciri's palm, supported by the inscription of order summoned by Ciri.

"Creation out of thin air?"

Joshua discovered that the magic in this world was more terrifying in nature than Joshua imagined.

"This is a theory from more than a hundred years ago...Josh, do you want to learn it?" The water ball in Shirley's hand disappeared after the inscription disappeared.

Although Qiao Xiu, like most of Nolan's spellcasters, had awakened many systems of inscriptions, but now Qiao Xiu couldn't even use a small fireball.

"No, I'm just wondering if it's possible to use magic to create a life that doesn't exist."

Joshua uttered a topic that was considered taboo by all spellcasters in this world.

"Creating...creating humans?" Shirley seemed to have misinterpreted what Joshua meant, and Joshua fell into silence.
