Could it be that he had traveled to a magical world? After a brief moment of astonishment, Lin En quickly came to his senses. After all, he had traveled through time and space, and he couldn't even be sure whether he was in the original universe. Nothing was impossible.

Lin En was naturally very interested in magic, and his strong desire to explore even overwhelmed his fear of being hunted by the Church! As a wizard apprentice who had only been in school for more than half a year, Carl knew very limited magic, only five types.

Among them, [Basic Matter Deconstruction], [Water Condensation], and [Mage's Hand] are the most basic zero-ring magic. Although they are very important, they have no offensive capabilities.

The more advanced first-level magic [Fireball] requires the consumption of corresponding magic materials. As for the other first-level magic [Ice Blade], Carl has not been able to master it yet.

Lin En lowered his head and fumbled for the cloth bag hanging around his waist, taking out his limited assets one by one.

Two pieces of red flint, three Sekas silver coins, more than ten copper coins, seven drafts with complex magic formulas, a yellowed "Element Analysis" and a small bag of gray powder - these are the casting materials of [Fireball] [Red Fire Embers].

Lin En picked up a handful of fine powder and felt eager to try it. Carl's memory contained the complete steps for casting Fireball.

First use [Basic Material Deconstruction] to analyze the spellcasting materials, and then cast [Hand of the Mage] to make the [Embers of Red Fire] vibrate at a specific frequency to activate the magic.

The whole process sounds complicated, but the most time-consuming analysis of the casting materials can be done in advance. As long as you are skilled enough, [Fireball] can be activated in just one second...

Lynn couldn't wait to experience the supernatural power, but finally held back.

This small handful of [Crimson Fire Embers] is worth five Sekas silver coins, which is only enough to cast [Fireball] three times. It must not be wasted. It is better to choose a simpler one for the first cast.

After thinking for a moment, Lin En chose [Water Condensation] as the target of his first spell.

As several kinds of zero-ring magic that must be learned, if [Elementary Material Deconstruction] is the key to using magical materials and [Mage's Hand] is the best helper for wizards, then [Water Condensation] is the introductory course for apprentices!

Because the release of this basic magic and its superior magic [Ice Blade] does not require the preparation of casting materials in advance, or the casting materials can be directly extracted from the elemental world!

According to the method given in his memory, Lin En closed his eyes and meditated. Perhaps it was because his original body Carl had laid a good foundation for him. After just two or three seconds, he successfully opened the door to a new world! After closing his eyes, he saw an extremely magical world. Under the induction of his mental power, Lin En could clearly "see" the countless glowing magical elements in the whole room.

Billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions? No, it was impossible to calculate their huge number with numbers alone. They were as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the dark universe.

Most of these elements are very active, constantly changing their positions. The most numerous element among them is called [Serlu], accounting for about 70% of the total, and is called a useless element by his mentor Kelu.

Such a spectacular scene shocked Lin En. It took him a long time to react and concentrate on the use of magic.

The steps to release [Water Condensation] are not complicated. It requires extracting two elements related to water and fusing them in a ratio of two to one.

The former account for a large proportion of the elemental world, about 20% to 30%, while the latter are relatively rare and require careful search.

However, there is also a simpler method. There are a small amount of ready-made water elements in the elemental world itself. As long as they are mobilized and reorganized using the [Basic Matter Deconstruction Technique], they can be used freely.

Thanks to the original body Carl's obsession with magic, these basic spells have been practiced hundreds of times in his daily life, and the foundation is very solid. After experiencing the initial discomfort, Lin En quickly mastered the method.

It’s just that this so-called elemental world made him feel inexplicably familiar.

When Lin En opened his eyes again, a ball of water the size of a marble was slowly floating in the palm of his hand under the support of the [Mage's Hand].

"Very good, it's a success!" The corners of Lin En's mouth curled up slightly, but the brief distraction immediately caused the water ball to disintegrate and drip through the gaps between his fingers.

Just like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, Lin En quickly broke away from the joy of successfully releasing magic.

As a wizard apprentice, he is now facing the pursuit of the Holy See. How can he be complacent because of this small achievement?

Not to mention that this marble-sized water ball is completely useless in battle...

I’m afraid it’s not enough even to quench the enemy’s thirst!

However, he had seen his predecessor's mentor Kelu use [Water Condensation] as a prerequisite to cast the second-level magic [Group-Ice Blade] against the enemy.

Dozens of fist-sized water balls condensed in an instant, and then transformed into solid diamond-shaped ice blades, shooting towards the attacking bandits like locusts.

Just one strike will defeat all the invading enemies!

Thinking of this, Lin En decided to sense the elemental world and try again.

Perhaps because of the fusion of memories after the time travel, Lin En's mental strength is much more abundant than that of his original body Carl, and he can mobilize more magic power.

The use of [Water Condensation Technique] just now had minimal cost to him, and he had a hunch that he could do more.

Lin En closed his eyes and soon entered the elemental world again. This time he did not rush to cast the [Water Condensation Technique], but tried to use his mental power to influence every element he could find around him.

These elements looked very different, and gave Lin En a vague sense of familiarity. Some of them were extremely "heavy", and the slightest movement would make him feel mentally exhausted.

After being completely immersed in it, Lynn suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon.

The elements floating in front of him were actually absorbed into his body at a strange frequency, and then expelled, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Does it turn out that a wizard's body needs to regularly take in these magical elements?

This doubt suddenly emerged in Lin En's mind. After careful observation, he made a surprising discovery, because this phenomenon was clearly caused by his own breathing...

Wait...isn't this oxygen?

Lin En was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but take a breath. In his eyes, the tall and mysterious image of the magic element suddenly collapsed.

He had not recognized them immediately before because he did not see these [elements] directly, but rather perceived them in a very metaphysical way through his mental power, and then used magic to influence them...

Moreover, the proportion of chemical elements in the air in this world is somewhat different from that in the previous life, so Lin En didn’t think about it in this aspect at the beginning.

But with this argument, the previous process of capturing elements to create water flow also has a new explanation.

What is water? It is an inorganic substance composed of two chemical elements: hydrogen and oxygen!

The air does contain a small amount of water vapor, perhaps the water element that the wizard mentioned.

So he wasn't using magic just now, but doing a chemistry experiment?

Are wizards just chemists?

This conclusion made Lin En stunned for a moment, but he soon shook his head. This world has a magical existence called magic. Judging from the spell just now, magic may be able to control matter at the microscopic level! If there are no restrictions, then the wizard is simply a god! According to the scientific research theory of the previous life, all matter in the world is composed of atoms. If magic can control matter at this level, it can create or destroy everything.

Lin En soon fell into reverie, and became keenly aware of the chemistry and physics knowledge he had learned in his previous life. When combined with magic, what a terrifying force it would become!

If the scientific theories in the previous life were to create all kinds of machines to transform the world, then wizards can use their magical powers to directly transform these theories into magic and gather great power in themselves!

Lin En stretched out his hand again, and the hydrogen and oxygen in the air around him were stripped away, turning into a small water ball floating in the palm of his hand.

Then some doubts arose in my mind. The combination of hydrogen and oxygen with water usually requires a combustion reaction. Where does the high temperature and energy generated in this process go?

Could it be that he was absorbed by the magic power? Magic, this unknown field, has all kinds of possibilities, and Lin En couldn't be sure, but this was a question that he could only study carefully after he had experimental conditions.

Lin En quickly turned his attention to the rest of the magic. If his guess was correct, the key point of the so-called first-ring magic [Ice Blade] was to change the form of water from liquid to solid, thereby enhancing the lethality!

Lin En recalled the physics he had learned in his previous life. Temperature is a manifestation of the average kinetic energy between molecules in an object. Molecules collide with each other and generate and transfer heat...

In other words, he needed to slow down the movement of water molecules! As soon as Lin En's mind moved, the extremely active water molecules in his palm became slower and slower under the influence of magic power, and they piled up tightly together. Almost instantly, the small water clusters condensed into transparent ice crystals.

Just as Lin En was surprised that his guess had come true, a prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Special energy detected... source unknown, no record in database, should we create a related file? ]

Lin En was stunned at first, and then a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.

He was very familiar with this voice.

But didn’t I travel through time? Even my body has changed, and the auxiliary chip that was implanted before should no longer exist...

"071, do you know how we got here? Is there any corresponding record in the system?" Lin En asked anxiously.

[Due to unknown reasons, the system was shut down and restarted, and there is no record of the entire process. ]

Lin En frowned, feeling somewhat disappointed, but he quickly calmed down and asked again, "How long can the remaining energy last for you?"

Now that he has come to this strange world and is facing the risk of being hunted down at any time, Lin En can only try his best to find ways to keep himself alive.

The auxiliary intelligence that followed was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise. Although due to the federal amendment bill, the intelligence of the auxiliary chip implanted by the individual was very limited, thanks to his identity as a data storage clerk in his previous life, 071 contained a lot of scientific and technological data from his previous life...

In this strange world where science and magic coexist, the importance of this information is self-evident...

[Energy remaining 37.6%, special energy detected, can be used to supply system operation...]

Special energy...does it mean magic power?

Lin En was thoughtful. He was extremely amazed by the various characteristics of magic. If it were still in his previous life, he would have rushed into the laboratory by now.

It's a pity that I'm just a poor and powerless wizard apprentice who is being hunted by the Church. I'm not sure if I can see the sun tomorrow...

Lin En sighed, and then spoke solemnly. "071, create a new file and name this special energy magic power!"

[Loading database...]

Taking advantage of this gap, Lynn turned his head to look at the diamond-shaped ice blade that was floating in the palm of his hand.

Because it is mixed with magic power, this ice blade is different from the solid ice you have seen before. It constantly radiates a chilling cold air. The head is in the shape of a pointed cone and the whole is streamlined.

It is called an ice blade, but it is more appropriate to describe it as an ice arrow.

This form is called the [Kulu configuration], which can reduce air resistance as much as possible.

It can be seen that his mentor Kelu has a high level of attainment in fluid mechanics...

Lin En complained in his heart, and then his expression became a little strange, because compared with the [Ice Blade] released by Kelu in his memory, the one in his hand was indeed smaller.

Although the hydrogen content in the air in this world is much higher than in the previous life, even if all of it is collected, it is impossible to produce enough water flow.

Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but wonder how his mentor performed the second-level magic [Group Ice Blade].

It's not possible that he could instantly extract hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor within a radius of hundreds of meters, right? If he had this ability, Kelu wouldn't need to use [Multiple Ice Blades]. The enemy would probably just suffocate to death from lack of oxygen.

Unable to figure it out for the moment, Lin En didn't worry too much about it. Looking at the ice blade floating in front of him, he suddenly had an idea.

"071, retrieve relevant information about armor-piercing arrows and barbed arrows." Lin En said silently in his mind.

The next moment, massive amounts of data streams flashed across his retina. Countless pictures, information, and simulated three-dimensional models made Lin En feel overwhelmed.

"Replace the manufacturing material with ice, and optimize and reorganize it with the goal of stability, reducing air resistance, and having maximum lethality!" Lin En touched his chin and spoke again.

The image suspended on the retina quickly faded, and just one second later, a new three-dimensional graphic appeared before the eyes.

Lin En firmly recorded the three-dimensional image in front of him in his mind, and with his right hand clenched, the suspended ice blade suddenly disintegrated.

Zero Ring Magic——[Elementary Material Deconstruction Technique]

The ice blade that disintegrated instantly was reduced to its most basic elements. It was tightened in the palm of the hand under the restraint of magic power, constantly changing its shape, getting closer and closer to the image on the retina, and soon stabilized.

The newly condensed ice blade has become much narrower than before, and the conical head has been changed into a triangular shape that is easier to penetrate armor and draw blood. There are also two long barbs at the bottom. It can be predicted that once the ice blade hits the target and pierces into the flesh, it will make the opponent so happy that he will be speechless.

The success of the magic improvement experiment gave Lin En hope of survival, but the power of [Ice Blade] was limited, and no matter how much the appearance was optimized, it would be difficult to achieve a significant increase, so Lin En quickly set his sights on the second first-ring magic [Fireball] mastered by Carl!

Unlike using [Ice Blade], which can extract "raw materials" from the air, the activation of [Fireball] requires the use of the magical material [Embers of Red Fire].

Lin En guessed that this should be a flammable substance, which would quickly expand and burn due to friction and temperature increase under the constraint of magic.

If his guess was correct, then did that mean he could use other flammable substances to unleash this magic...

"071, look up information about the production and use of white phosphorus..." Lin En muttered to himself in his mind.

White phosphorus is a colorless or light yellow translucent waxy substance. It is highly irritating and has an extremely low ignition point. Once it comes into contact with oxygen, it will burn violently, with temperatures reaching over 1000 degrees Celsius...

What is even more terrifying is that this white phosphorus fire is difficult to extinguish and has extremely strong adhesion. Once it comes into contact with the human body, it will quickly burn through the skin and muscles until it penetrates deep into the bone marrow. The gases produced by the combustion are also highly toxic.

In his previous life, Lin En, who was a data storage clerk, had seen the Federation launch a new type of white phosphorus bomb. It was definitely a terrifying scene that he would never forget.

The moment the missile exploded in the air, continuous rain of fire spread all over the sky, igniting an everlasting sea of ​​fire within a radius of several kilometers.

The scorching heat, indestructible properties and terrifying toxicity meant that even if one hid in a bunker, it was difficult to escape the fate of death.

Because white phosphorus bombs are so terrible, they were banned as anti-human weapons in the last century, and the federal districts only dared to study them secretly...

However, the process of making white phosphorus is actually not complicated, and there are detailed records in the auxiliary intelligent brain. As long as he can find the materials, he will be able to make it even without the help of instruments.

Just as Lin En was thinking about it, a dull sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded behind him.

Lynn's expression suddenly changed.

He is now hiding in the slums of Nordland, and normally no one would dare to disturb him.

Unless...

The witch hunting team sent by the Inquisition has arrived! (End of this chapter)
