In the end, Ash ate one third of the Sword Heart Stone, Sonia ate two thirds, and Diya wanted to show that she could behave herself, but unfortunately Ash didn't have the time or the spirit of the fist and claw technique.

However, after eating them, there were still a lot of faction stones left, such as fire magic, earth magic, wind magic, etc. They picked and chose and ate some more - for example, Ash's "Earth Sword" can eat Landslide Stone, "Wind Wall" can eat Wind Injury Stone, Sonia's "Killing Sword" can eat Death Stone, Diya's "Finger Silk" can eat Arrow Feather Stone...

Just like a magician has many secondary factions, the magic spirit itself will be affected by many secondary factions in addition to the main faction. Ash's "Earth Sword" is the most obvious example. The ratio of swordsmanship to earth magic is about 7:3, so the Earth Sword has about a 30% catalytic effect when eating landslide stones.

After picking and choosing, there are still half of the faction stones left. These stones cannot be taken away. After all, after the magician returns to reality, he will not know where he will appear in the time continent next time he comes. It is meaningless to take the stones away, so he can either absorb them all here or give up directly.

Sonia and Diya had expected this, but Ash, who was taking advantage of the situation, felt a little sorry and looked at the faction stone. Sonia urged, "Hurry up and eat all the remaining stones, then we have to continue chasing the white bull."

"Yeah." Ash nodded. Because he took the initiative to give up the stones he needed to Sword Lady and Witch, the two of them unanimously agreed to give all the stones from other unrelated factions to him.

When Ash summoned his substitute spirit to absorb the faction stone, the spirit was obviously unhappy, just like a person who eats sweet tofu pudding is forced to eat salty one. Unfortunately, under the pressure of the sorcerer, it had to force itself to eat it.

Ash found it funny and when he picked up the stone, he accidentally picked up an ordinary stone without any luster.

The game interface suddenly popped up.

"I have detected the resources needed to upgrade the Aurora autonomous vehicle. Do you want to absorb them?"

…

…

“It turns out…it’s this.”

In the Blood Moon Kingdom, in Room 302 on the third floor of an apartment built in the 1940s, the Veela college student looked at the magic spirit in her hand and was a little dazed for a moment.

The Scottish Fold cat Xiaoxian jumped onto the table, stretched out his paw and touched it curiously, and found that his claws had actually pierced through the Shu Ling. He was so scared that he stood up and looked at the unknown glowing object vigilantly.

The sorcerer appears as a long-haired girl playing a sonata flute. She looks like a music-related sorcerer, but in fact, she is closely related to sound.

Its name is "Echo".

This is a rare spirit that possesses the characteristics of both telepathy and sound. Not only can it detect the surrounding environment through sound, but it can also make traces concrete through sound. For example, it can visualize all the people who have come into contact with a certain area or an object, and all the things that have happened, just like replaying the past.

Of course, because the past is so vast, this magic spirit will only materialize things that the magician has seen based on the magician's cognition.

Simply put, relying only on this magic spirit, Freya could easily join the Crime Hunting Hall, and she would not join the Blood Madness sequence responsible for combat, but the Crime Hunting sequence which was easier and had a higher salary.

But Freya actually had no intention of summoning this magic spirit. How could she have expected to summon such a rare magic spirit? Her initial goal was to "suggest", but later she felt that "suggestion" did not suit her style, so she turned to "charm".

Because the information on the spiritual faction in the Blood Moon Kingdom is very scarce, Freya can only barely integrate a set of "potentially useful" learning methods through various materials collected at the university. She also participates in volunteer spiritual counseling on a regular basis, which can be regarded as improving the faction realm step by step.

Tonight she finished watching a film and TV series called "The Flower of the Mud". Her mood swings triggered a resonance in the virtual world, and the knowledge that had already reached the standard gave birth to her first legacy that she could take to the grave - the Echo Spirit.

Although it is normal to summon a magic spirit at any time as long as the faction realm meets the requirements, Freya feels that she will remember the fact that "watching movies and TV shows increases the chance of summoning magic spirits" for the rest of her life. Not only will she watch more movies and TV shows in the future, but she will also record this fact in the magician's manual after she dies.

Although Freya had read the introduction of the Echo Spirit some time ago, she had no idea of ​​the summoning requirements for this spirit and had no intention of summoning it, but for some reason it was summoned.

...I have a bad feeling.

Freya looked at the sorcerer. Normally, the first thing a new sorcerer would do when getting a new sorcerer is to test the sorcerer's power. However, the Veela had no such idea at all.

Because this is her home.

The only traces preserved in this room were an evil man, a naughty animal, a lovely being, and her and Xiaoxian.

The Veela drew aside the curtains, letting the majestic blood moon paint the bedroom in sweet colors, and then she lay on the bed, searching for the door of truth within the psychic body, preparing for her first journey into the virtual world.

She had already completed the knowledge accumulation before entering the virtual world. The blood moon was very bright today. The "Blood Moon Shelter" would make her soul more resilient and consume less soul energy when healing injuries in the virtual world.

The Gate of Truth, connecting to the virtual world, sinking into the mist...

Unlike the stupid rumors in the veil, and unlike the private chats in the university, entering the virtual world did not give one the uncomfortable feeling of being stuffed into a rubber tube, nor the relaxing feeling of untying the body restraints. To put it bluntly, Freya thought it was - **.

Free and unfettered, yet still with one's own self, just as ** is facing the world honestly, then entering the virtual realm is the magician facing knowledge without any cover.

As expected, she fell into the sea. Even though she had practiced many times before, the Veela still subconsciously panicked - except for the merman sorcerer, all terrestrial creatures would have this reaction when suddenly surrounded by sea water - but she quickly reacted, paddling her feet lightly to maintain balance, and opened her eyes to face this strange world.

White fog, dark sea, silence, and monotonous colors formed a vast prison, and boundless loneliness came to the fore. But for the residents of Blood Moon, this degree of loneliness was barely acceptable, after all, they had been training to resist loneliness since the starting line.

When Freya was participating in the volunteer psychological counseling, she also saw magicians who would become afraid because of the loneliness and danger of the virtual world. However, most of these magicians were humans, with a few goblins and orcs, and she had almost never seen an ogre - not only because there were relatively few ogre magicians, but more importantly, ogres could directly eat moon candies to eliminate their fear, and did not need the assistance of a psychologist for treatment.

When it comes to dealing with psychological and mental illnesses, Moon Sugar is a panacea.

Apart from ogres, Veela mages rarely need psychological counseling, because Veela can heal their souls by relieving lust, so Veela rarely suffer from mental illness, which can be regarded as the racial talent of Veela.

Freya had already prepared herself mentally before entering the virtual world, just like entering a newly opened cafe, mustering up the courage to face everything unfamiliar.

However, when she turned her head, something inappropriate suddenly caught her eye.

A ship.

The Veela stared blankly for a few seconds before her brain started to work - why was there a ship here?

She hesitated for a moment, remembering that death in the virtual world was not real death, and climbed onto the boat to see the situation.

There is nothing worth describing. It is just an ordinary boat, without oars, drifting alone on the sea of ​​knowledge, like a pet abandoned by its owner.

She sat on the boat, looking up at the endless white fog, and felt that most of the tension in her heart had dissipated.

At this moment, her body suddenly stiffened and she found the forgotten gem from the memory hidden deepest.

"Help, help, I was attacked by a veela at night, I'm going to be killed..."

"Hey, if you don't want to die, hand over your virtual experience. I heard that you need to swim in the sea of ​​knowledge. How do you swim? Backstroke? Butterfly stroke? Freestyle?"

"Hmm? I didn't swim in the ocean of knowledge. I took a boat."

"It's fine if you can just give me some perfunctory treatment, but how can you treat me like a fool? There is no ship in the sea of ​​knowledge! You forced me to do this—"

“No, this is too foul. I’m really going to die… Sword Body Barrier!”

Could it be that...

Freya summoned the Echo Spirit and stared at it for a long time. Only after it made its scalp tingle did she activate it.

The clear sound brushed across the boat, and the air was shaken into concrete shapes. He had stood here, sat there, lay here, and crouched there, densely packed, over and over again. The Veela looked around, and there were traces of him everywhere.

Freya removed the effect of the magic spirit and stared at the boat for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, and then -

“Go to hell!”

"Die die die die die!"

"(╯′Д｀)╯ I hate men like you who are entangled the most...ah!"

Because the kick was too strong, the boat lost its balance and flipped over. However, the boat seemed to have its own gyroscope system, so it flipped over and continued to float on the sea, leaving only the drowned Veela in the water.

She climbed onto the boat again, lay on it, and stared blankly at the sky covered with white mist.

"I was obviously going to soak in the sea, but you insisted on rowing the boat to pull me up, and then rowed away on your own. I finally made up my mind to continue soaking in the sea, why did you leave the boat to me?"

"An evil man like you should be locked up in the basement and have me wake him up once in the afternoon and three times at night."

"but……"

Freya sat up and stretched.

"It makes no sense for a Veela to refuse gifts from the opposite sex. It is our duty to ask for things without giving anything in return. I accept this boat with a clear conscience. But, how am I supposed to use it without a paddle?"

She searched the boat carefully again and finally found a strand of hair in the boat's deck. When she pulled it up, it triggered a mechanism and a steering wheel rose in the middle of the boat, allowing her to directly control the movement of the boat.

The Veela looked at the hair on her hand and felt that it was probably dropped by her own little girl.

"Then..." Freya operated the steering wheel, driving the boat to break through the thick white fog: "Wait for me, I'm going to catch up!"
