Chapter 317 Magic Academy (20) - Starlight Wand
The tree trunk is quite thick; if it fell on him, Ning Shu estimated he would vomit blood and die on the spot.
Si Zhong suddenly had a guess, but he felt it was a bit far-fetched: "You're cutting down trees?"
Ning Shu: "Yeah, we've cut down almost a third of the tree trunk now. I'm worried it might fall down and hit me. How can we prevent that from happening?"
Si Zhong felt a headache coming on. Why did she suddenly go and chop down trees? This side quest was a bit absurd.
"You need to cut diagonally down to two-thirds of the way down the side where you've cut off a third of the trunk, so that it will fall to that side."
You don't necessarily have to reach two-thirds of the way down. If you feel it's about to fall, stop attacking and go to the other side to attack.
When the opponent attacks, they aim for the weakest point in the connection. Normally, the opponent will fall first; pay attention to that.
Ning Shu thought Si Zhong was amazing; he even had such a strange skill as chopping down trees.
"you……"
Si Zhong was still very curious about why she wanted to cut down the tree, and the other party hung up after he only said one word.
Sizhong: "..."
So, you use people when you need them and discard them when you don't, right?
Si Zhong felt a little annoyed and stared at the narrow opening, lost in thought.
Many methods flashed through his mind, but he felt that neither violent demolition nor "flexible tactics" were appropriate.
In the end, they gave up and decided to patiently wait for Ning Shu to return.
Ning Shu received "guidance" from Si Zhong and continued to play Wu Gang.
As she stood opposite the tree trunk and swung the last axe blow, the tree collapsed with a crash.
She frantically fled as the tree was about to collapse, fearing she would be hit by it.
Fortunately, just as Si Zhong had predicted, the tree fell to the opposite side, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning to look at the wand wrapped in vines, nothing had changed.
Could it be that she's mistaken?
Ning Shu decided to try again. This time, she directly used the axe in her hand to cut the vines that wrapped the magic wand. Unexpectedly, she was not attacked by other vines.
She wasn't wrong!
He continued swinging the axe until he saw a large opening finally appear in the vine, then reached in and took out the wand.
The Star Magic Wand's main body is a wooden stick with several vines wrapped around it as decoration. It is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, much like an awl.
The top of the wand was inlaid with something that looked like a crystal ball, but unlike the crystal ball, it had a purple-red light flowing inside, accompanied by some blue-purple starlight. At first glance, it looked like a galaxy was hidden inside the crystal ball.
This is probably the origin of the name "Star Fantasy".
Ning Shu didn't know what the wand was for, but guessed it might be similar to a magic wand, so she poured magic into it to try it out.
As the magic flowed through her wand, two magic circles and incantations appeared in her mind.
One of the magic circles is called the Activation Magic Circle. This time, the incantation wasn't in a difficult-to-pronounce language, but rather in a normal one.
The incantation to activate the magic circle is: Starlight as the guide, elements return to their places, magic power surges, the magic circle is activated!
Another magic circle is called the Sealing Magic Circle. The incantation is: Starlight as the lock, darkness falls, magic silences, magic sealed!
She could understand the magic seal, but what was the point of activating the magic?
She didn't understand, but decided to memorize the two incantations first.
To ensure she wouldn't forget, she took out her textbook, a magical pen, and black ink from her spatial storage.
This was the first time Ning Shu had used the pen and ink items in other instances.
She wrote down the two magic spells in her mind on a blank page of the textbook Si Zhong had given her.
She felt that the textbooks Si Zhong gave her were more useful and worthy of the spells on the wand she now had.
After she finished copying, she put the textbook and props back into her space.
The wand was too long to fit inside, so she picked up a vine from the ground, tied one end of the wand to her waist, and wrapped the other end around her waist, letting the wand drag behind her.
She then climbed out of the hole again. This time, it took her a total of 5 hours to get in and out.
When Si Zhong heard a noise at the cave entrance, his previously lazy sitting posture instantly straightened up, and he finally stood up, staring intently at the cave entrance.
Holding the short knife at his waist, he thought that if the person who came out wasn't Ning Shu, he would tear him to pieces.
Ning Shu's head peeked out of the hole first, then slowly crawled out like a worm.
There was no other way; the passageway to the exit was very narrow, barely wide enough for her to squeeze through.
After climbing out of the cave, the first thing he saw was Si Zhong staring at him.
She greeted the other person: "Hi! I'm back."
After confirming that it was Ning Shu, Si Zhong bent down to help her up and patted the dust off her body.
He noticed a vine tied around her waist and asked curiously, "What's that?"
Ning Shu couldn't wait for him to ask, and had already reached out and grabbed the vines to drag the things out of the hole.
Si Zhong soon saw a wooden stick emerge from the cave entrance. He immediately recognized it as a magic wand and understood what she was doing.
Ning Shu picked up the wand from the ground and untied the vines from her waist: "I got this after completing a side quest."
She was too embarrassed to tell him that she had been inside for so long, just cutting down trees.
Si Zhong raised an eyebrow: "What's the use of this?"
Are we going to use a magic wand to kill the dragon?
Ning Shu said smugly, "I obtained the martial arts secrets and also came up with a way to deal with the demonic dragon."
Si Zhong: "I am all ears."
Ning Shu beckoned to Si Zhong with her finger, signaling him to bring his ear closer.
Si Zhong looked at Ning Shu's actions and felt that this was the first time she had taken such initiative, knowing her meaning but deliberately misinterpreting it.
He moved closer to her, but not to listen to her speak; instead, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been groped.
Reflecting on his actions, he realized the other party had misunderstood and began to repent.
Looking at her dazed expression, Si Zhong found it amusing: "What, don't want to talk anymore?"
"Of course not." Ning Shu's first reaction was to deny it; she was counting on him for help.
"Wait for me a moment." She decided she still needed to confirm, so she took out Fengyuan's textbooks from her spatial storage and started looking through the contents.
Although it wasn't magic, which was her major, and Si Zhong didn't recommend that she learn it all, she still took the time to browse through it as a whole, afraid of missing any useful information.
She remembered that one of the passages was about sealing magic.
Sealing magic is probably a relatively advanced type of magic. There are no related spells in the textbook, but there are some related introductions.
The introduction mentions that the key to successfully sealing magic is either to draw a magic circle in advance, luring the target into it before sealing.
Alternatively, teammates may need to attract the target's attention while the caster draws a circle at the target's feet, and then seals the target after the circle is completed.
The second method is obviously more difficult, so Ning Shu chose the first method first.
