Maggie had read the 'Mistaken History of the Continent' countless times, but this was the first time she had tried to use magic to touch it. She simply injected a trace of magic as a test, and Maggie quickly received a chaotic power feedback.
This forced her to retract the tentacles of her magic.
"Demons...fire elementals...and some unknown sources of power."
Maggie analyzed it for a moment and then had a headache.
This was a situation she had never encountered before; so many unknown forces mixed together posed an extreme test for her.
According to Leia, this book has an extraordinary absorption ability, so in addition to the magic circle set up by the Elemental King and the power of the twins, it has probably also corrupted other creatures or objects.
This is why the power it contains is so chaotic.
"I've really gotten myself into a huge mess."
Maggie rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, it was just really troublesome.
Even if someone else were to do this job, they might not be able to do it. The main reason is that she herself possesses the power of five elements and demons, giving her the ability to give it a try.
Maggie closed her eyes again after only a sigh.
She carefully channeled her light elemental magic into the book, guiding the magic of the same attribute within it to sort out and separate until it was isolated from other powers.
It felt like untangling a mess of colorful balls of yarn that was a headache just to look at, yet Maggie had to spend a lot of time untangling them.
The room was quiet, with only Maggie's breathing and the faint sound of magic flowing through the book.
Contrary to Maggie's expectations, what she thought would be a very tedious task turned out to be much simpler than she had imagined. In fact, her ability to control magic improved with each step.
She seemed to be conversing with these elements; the light was a gentle force, and all her mental fatigue seemed to vanish in the process, making her unable to resist its warmth.
The dark element may look cold and gloomy, but it actually gives Maggie a sense of tranquility.
Just like the night, when all living things sleep and enjoy sweet dreams.
The element of wood signifies vitality, the revival of all things, and life embarking on a new journey. Regardless of the destination, life begins with boundless energy.
The water element is like a pair of soft hands, gently soothing Maggie's inner emotions.
Whether it's anxiety, pain, or hatred, at this moment, there is peace and no resentment in my heart.
The wind element seemed to have given Maggie a spontaneous trip. As the elements flowed and went, Maggie vaguely sensed the feelings they evoked.
Perhaps it's refreshing, perhaps it's invigorating; although there are no visuals, it's still very soothing.
After going through all five elements, Maggie's understanding of them reached a new level. If she had to describe it in one word, she would call it an "epiphany".
She used to control them, but she never truly connected with them.
In other words, she and the elements used to have a superior-subordinate relationship. She gave orders, and the elements obeyed. They were simply a group of subordinates who would not disobey her.
But now, she seems to have become friends with these elements. The elements are close to her, and she can truly feel their affection.
The elementalist will be happy when she casts a spell, happy that she can help herself and her friends.
It was a very subtle feeling, hard to describe, and it wouldn't significantly improve Maggie's combat power in a short time, but she was very happy with this change.
Maggie snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to find that the sky outside seemed to be almost unchanged since she started organizing her magic.
A look of confusion crossed her face. Just as she was about to get up, she heard Leia's speechless voice.
"When did you humans evolve to lose sleep? You know you haven't slept for two days, staring at this book the whole time, like you've turned into a stone statue."
His sharp and precise remarks surprised Maggie.
"Has it been two days already?"
She felt nothing at all, showed no signs of fatigue, and was as energetic as if she were on drugs.
"Yes, I've been watching you closely, almost to the point of burning a hole in you. I've been waiting and waiting, and now it's finally here..."
Leia shook his fluffy feathers, and his round, chubby body made his complaints seem much cuter.
"You don't have to wait for me..."
These words made Maggie feel a little guilty.
"No, I'm counting on you to go to the Elemental Source Realm and save our king. If you die, I'll be in big trouble and suffer a terrible disaster."
Leia rolled her eyes dramatically, her bird-like face radiating disgust.
"That's not necessarily true."
Maggie answered with a blank expression.
"No, it's because you're so weak."
Leia denied it without hesitation, and her words were merciless, piercing Maggie's heart like a knife, even more blunt than the little ghost's.
"..."
Maggie felt like she was being stabbed like a sieve, which was true, but it was still incredibly painful.
Unlike Leia, the little ghost, and Roy, he is a genuine high-ranking elf with the means to directly attack humans.
Higher-ranking elves can use magic, which is fundamentally different from lower-ranking elves.
This person is much stronger than her in terms of ability, so she really has the confidence to say such things.
Instead of getting entangled with Leia, Maggie chose to leave the room and go out to do what she needed to do. She had been delayed for two days because of the book, and she still had a lot of things to take care of.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a nun passing by. Before the nun could bow to her, Maggie decisively interrupted her.
"Notify the Grand Master of the Holy Knights, the Chief Nun, the Archpriest, the Grand Master of the Holy Mages, and the priests to come to the church. I have something to discuss."
Maggie's words were concise and to the point, leaving no room for doubt.
The nun's mind went blank the moment she received the order.
It took him a while to come to his senses before he nodded, his movements still a little sluggish, as if he had been startled.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The nun turned and left. She was only there to deliver a message, but she truly felt an indescribable, unparalleled sense of oppression.
This feeling actually came from Her Highness the Saintess, who was always so gentle.
Moreover, the chief nun had only just returned to the temple, and Her Highness was already summoning her; it felt like something big was about to happen.
Thinking of this, the nun quickened her pace, feeling as if something was chasing her from behind.
An inexplicable sense of urgency made her act much faster than usual.
Maggie, who gave the order, simply watched the nun's departing figure silently, lowered her eyes, and turned to walk towards the cathedral.
Since the priest had given her the authority to make the transfer, she naturally wanted to make good use of it.
Roy, wait a little longer. I'll come find you right away after I've dealt with the Duke.
Maggie thought to herself.
