The application of basic daily magic is simpler than Eryi imagined. It only requires complete and correct tones, and then uses accurate and stable magic output gestures to match the tones.
For ordinary magic apprentices, it is not easy to get the magic words to have accurate pitch.
Most of the residents in Sunset City originally came from surrounding villages and towns, and even the common language used for daily communication has an accent, so it is not uncommon for children to say "shoes" instead.
Magic words are only used when casting spells, and are not used very often. It is common to speak them out of tune.
The same spell can be sung in different ways by changing its pitch. "A fresh start" becomes "a fresh start in mud," which summons high-quality mud. Objects summoned can also be transformed into flying objects, and turning fire into explosions is not unheard of.
Perhaps it was because she'd purchased the translation function, but Eryi's pronunciation was incredibly accurate, making the casting of life magic as easy as breathing. This unique skill made the other magic apprentices question their own sanity.
…
Mien, a magic apprentice in Darkze City, has become accustomed to selling magic power at the stall in front of the magic academy every other day.
He kept track of the time very precisely, selling magic power at 9 o'clock on time. Then, from 9 o'clock to 11:30, he would choose to meditate in the study room of the magic academy, and then go to the stall to sell magic power again at 11:30.
His total magic power is capped at 127. The first time he sells magic power, he chooses to sell 100 points, receiving 20 silver coins. After meditating for over two hours and recovering 50 points, he can sell 75 points, receiving 15 silver coins.
The 35 silver coins obtained in this way are enough to cover the course needs for the next two days, and can even help with family expenses and buy some magic ink and other materials.
Around 11:40 AM that day, he arrived at the entrance of the Magic Academy as usual. Many apprentices followed his lead, so a small line had already formed in front of the stalls selling magic power.
"What happened?" Mien was surprised when he saw the mottled ground.
The magic apprentice standing at the front of the team rolled her eyes behind Eryi's back: "She said she just learned cleaning magic and wanted to try it here."
Eryi was so bored that he had already cleared half of the land in front of the Dark Marsh City Magic Academy in just one morning. Some of the old dirt had disappeared under the magic, making the land look very out of place.
"I remember she was a priestess. I think I'm right?" Mien accurately found his familiar companion in the team.
His companion shrugged, "How would I know?"
Ever since Eryi acquired the system, he had been surrounded by people many times and had long since gotten used to it: "Next."
These life magics were not explained in detail in her own skill panel, and she needed to figure out the specific magic and fatigue values used in casting the spells on her own.
Life magic, a type of magic that even the most common magic apprentices could use continuously, consumed very little mana. Eryi had observed his own personal dashboard and found that each spell only cost 1-2 mana points, which was somewhat related to his magic proficiency.
When she first tried a new spell, it would deduct about 2 mana points and increase her fatigue by less than 1 point. However, after using it more frequently, the mana loss would drop to 1 point, or even less. The fatigue increase would be consistent with the fatigue caused by light labor, with no noticeable increase.
In other words, after she masters these skills, she can release them at will without having to worry too much about magic power or fatigue consumption.
From this day on, when magic apprentices sell magic power, they will find that the priest who bought the magic power has learned a new life magic.
…
Learning the magic language was just a small episode. After successfully learning the magic language and how to write it, Eryi never reported to the magic academy again.
This took her just over two weeks, and her study of life magic came to an end.
Lilith, who had agreed to come back in ten days, arrived at the treatment station with Gallup in advance. Her attitude was completely different from before.
The curse pattern attached to Gallup's eyes returned to its original state on the tenth day after the intermediate curse was dispelled.
But within ten days of the mid-level curse being dispelled, Gallup's elemental sensitivity returned to more than half of its pre-curse state. Within a few days, he was able to regain partial 'vision' through elemental manipulation.
Lilith excitedly held Eryi's hands and said, "Even if I can't completely restore my eyesight, it would be good if I could maintain this state forever." The loosening of the curse can bring about many changes.
——"If I keep going like this, maybe in a few years I can lift the curse myself," Gallup once said.
"Really? Then you have to come here every ten days." Eryi pulled his hand away from Lilith's. "You have to pay one gold coin each time."
After learning to write magic, Eryi discovered that the arrangement of several characters on the curse-dispelling magic circles used for Piccolo and Gallop was different. She still needed more practice.
She wanted the red dragon crystal.
The Red Dragon Crystal was directly absorbed by the system, and it would gain 1 million energy points. But she was cautious and sent a letter to Bernice in the royal capital.
——What is the market purchase price of Dragon Crystal?
Soon, she received a reply.
——Can purchase a Sunset City.
This statement was indeed a bit exaggerated. After all, there were only 14 cities in the empire with teleportation arrays. However, it was more than enough to purchase a territory the size of Sunset City.
Eryi's total daily energy turnover in each plane now exceeds 50,000. This may seem like a lot, but it's actually accumulated from a number of small projects. Each healing skill and item sold is not expensive.
The energy value contained in the Red Dragon Crystal is equal to the amount of water flowing in the Doomsday Plane for an entire month.
But for her, this thing has no other use except being converted into energy points, but it is different for the natives of this plane.
An ordinary magic carriage could fetch a high price of hundreds of magic coins in the magic plane. These magic coins, in exchange for magic cores, were worth hundreds of thousands of energy points. Furthermore, this was Red Dragon Crystal, a creature completely extinct on the continent. With proper manipulation, it could simulate dragon breath.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth tens of thousands of magic coins.
Eryi was certain that as long as she obtained the Red Dragon Crystal and successfully cashed it out, she would no longer need to earn energy through other means. In the days ahead, she only needed to focus on upgrading her skills and returning to her original plane to prepare for the virus outbreak.
"S-rank adventurers are so rich." The night these two appeared at the Adventurer's Guild, rumors about them surfaced from every corner, and they were a constant topic of conversation among the adventurers. Even without paying attention, Eryi knew of their glorious deeds.
"They're back."
"You mean? I heard that too."
"The four-man team has been reduced to two. I don't know where the other two have gone."
"I'm sure you all noticed that Gallup's eyes were covered."
"He can't see anymore."
An avid fan stood up and said, "I've been following his progress since he joined the Adventurer's Guild! I noticed something. Do you know what it is?"
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now."
"He can't speak."
"No way, I just heard him ask the price when he bought oranges yesterday."
"Yes." The fanatic jumped up excitedly. "But I'm sure he couldn't speak when he first came to Sunset City. Whenever he was with Lilith, all the words were spoken by Lilith. But I've checked the old documents and found that Gallup was very talkative when he was young!"
"Yes, the priest healed him!"
"And from what I've observed, he seems to be able to see something recently."
"I believe there must be a reason why they suddenly appeared in Sunset City and tried to settle here." Fanatic fans have found out that Lilith and Gallup are looking for a place to live and it seems that they are preparing to buy a house.
Patton witnessed it all, and staying in the prayer room of the healing station helped him think clearly.
"I always learn something interesting when I stay here, don't I?" Barton has already started to organize his first draft, and Valentina, a girl with a high affinity for dark elements, has become his first reader.
"An adventurer who had disappeared for decades suddenly appeared in the church of the newly born god. He was entangled by the curse of the abyss—"
"The half-elf took out a red crystal. Perhaps it's the legendary dragon crystal... Who knows?"
"The previously silent human finally spoke—"
"The young priestess began to learn the magic language. The funny thing is that she learned faster than any magician—"
"The young priestess had just learned cleaning magic and spent the entire day washing dirty dishes in the kitchen—even though her kitchen sink was already equipped with cleaning magic."
"The demon wolf she raised is elusive. Lately, it's been disappearing or reappearing out of nowhere."
"Can the young priest heal the cursed adventurer?" Barton scribbled on his notebook. "What do you think of me ending the first part here?"
Valentina smiled at Barton. "If you want to be chased by readers, that's fine."
"It's okay, they don't know where I am."
…
The undercurrent is surging.
In a house that could avoid the gaze of the gods, several black wizards were whispering.
"The familiar has secretly bewitched many humans and successfully avoided the gaze of the gods."
"Next, we need to send him to more places—first of all, villages that don't have decent priests."
"This method really works. My stubborn bottleneck in magic has begun to loosen."
"There are too few dark elements, and the connection with the abyss is not close enough, which is very disadvantageous to us..." Connecting to the entrance of the abyss can allow them to gain more power.
The black wizard who looked the oldest sat at the head of the table, half of his face dry as bark. "I had expected Gallup to be alive, but if he continues like this, he won't live long. But I didn't expect..."
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the other black wizards instantly turned ugly.
The youngest-looking black wizard half-leaned on the beam, his voice drifting, "The Abyss Familiar summoned by Dark Marsh City is truly useless. Didn't it bewitch a certain powerful noblewoman in the capital? Why hasn't it made any move at all besides some rumors?"
"The familiar's level is not high, and its brain is not working well, that's nothing."
