"No, I just want to protect myself." Wu Yu didn't want to portray himself as some kind of great person in front of Violet, because that would only make her see a false version of herself.

“That’s protecting the world!” Violet waved her hands and exaggeratedly said, “This world is made up of individuals like us. If Wu Yu can protect himself, he’s already contributing to protecting the world.”

"I'm not as great as you say," Wu Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly, then left the house.

Watching Wu Yu's departing figure, Violet murmured reluctantly.

"If everyone could protect themselves like you, I wouldn't have to work so hard. Please don't die this time, Wu Yu. If you can make it to the end on your own, I will save you."

Because the survival training had just ended, the Royal Magic Academy gave its students two days off, making the entire academy much quieter.

Wu Yu also benefited from this. The library usually requires advance reservations or registration, but thanks to the lack of students in the college, Wu Yu was able to enter directly.

After finding a copy of "The Complete Book of Magic Circuits", he went to an empty room and carefully selected the magic circuits he was going to install.

Since battles can mostly be resolved with swordsmanship, Wu Yu also plans to stick to his previous strategy and choose support-type magic.

After spending half an hour skimming through the book, Wu Yu selected his magic circuits according to his needs.

As a third-tier mage, Wu Yu can have a total of four magic circuits. In addition to the [Solidification] circuit he already possesses, Wu Yu can add three more.

Since we are heading to the Elf Kingdom, we must consider the possibility of survival in the wild. There are two essential things for survival in the wild: fire and food.

So without much thought, Wu Yu decided on the first magic circuit: [Burning].

In fact, with Wu Yu's current strength, he could easily start a fire by rubbing sticks together if needed, but that would be too troublesome, so Wu Yu chose to be lazy.

Dry rations were easy to find; ten cubic meters of flatbread would be enough for them to eat for several months. Hunting in the forest was also very convenient. The key issue was water; Wu Yu didn't want to nearly die of thirst like he had in the desert before.

Therefore, Wu Yu chose the [Liquefaction] magic circuit as his third magic circuit. As long as it is not an extremely dry environment, Wu Yu can use this move to collect water from the air.

As for the last spell slot, Wu Yu directly chose [Compression] because it could perfectly match the previous three spells, allowing Wu Yu to unleash intermediate-level magic.

[Magic Armor] [Fireball] [Water Bullet]

Although its power was not great, it was still capable of causing damage, especially the [Magic Armament] move, which Wu Yu was extremely satisfied with.

After spending two hours inscribing the magic circuits, Wu Yu immediately began experimenting with them.

The weapon forged through [Magic Armament] was noticeably harder. Wu Yu lightly flicked the black sword in his hand and felt that its quality was comparable to a fine iron sword forged by an excellent blacksmith. Now, he could completely use equipment that cost one gold coin each as a consumable.

While it can't compare to enchanted weapons, it's still a top-tier piece of junk, more than enough for cutting through vegetables.

With the further enhancement of his mental strength, Wu Yu even created a revolver for himself. However, embarrassingly, Wu Yu had no flame, so the bullets were fired entirely by Wu Yu's mental strength, and their power was about the same as throwing glass beads by hand.

However, this also gave Wu Yu an idea. Although the material composition of this world is different from that of the previous world, the physics seems to be interconnected. If he had a few years to study it, it might not be impossible for him to create a modified version of a firearm. When he was in the future, he could carry a Vulcan Gatling gun and see who would dare to stop him.

However, that's a matter for the future; as things stand right now, he definitely doesn't have the time.

The Fireball and Water Bullet spells are only good for bullying ordinary people, but they might have a surprising effect if used suddenly in close combat.

Closing the book in his hand, Wu Yu stretched and slowly stood up from his seat.

When Wu Yu walked out of the library, it was already dark. However, Wu Yu did not choose to go back directly, but instead changed direction and headed towards the church of the Church of Light.

It can be said that 90% of the residents who died in the capital died at the hands of the God of Light. However, because these residents did not know the truth, the number of believers in the Church of Light increased instead of decreasing, and more people came to pray.

The people are not ignorant, but they are too weak; they can only live within the safe zones designated for them by the strong. The end of the world, the truth of history—none of these concern them; they are merely the breeding ground for the strong.

Wu Yu hadn't forgotten the established rules of the Church of Light. After tossing in a copper coin despite the pastor's disdainful look, Wu Yu also told him his request.

"Have Sharp come out for a moment, I need to talk to him," Wu Yu said loudly, removing the black cloth he was using to conceal his identity.

Given Wu Yu's status, entering the church would inevitably draw the attention of its higher-ups. Since Wu Yu didn't recognize anyone else, he could only directly call out Sharp's name. Although Wu Yu's pronunciation wasn't enhanced by supernatural power, it was clear to a seventh-tier legendary figure, as if he were shouting right next to their ear.
