After parting ways with Nesser, Maggie went straight back to her room. She decided to thoroughly examine the misprinted general history of the continent, hoping to find something special that even the little ghost hadn't noticed.
If there were no problems, why would the twins be so desperate to stay by her side, pretending to be pitiful?
She didn't believe the ridiculous notion of being homeless and begging for shelter. After all, what organization wouldn't have some kind of expert with a few 'unique features'?
Maggie took out the hidden general history of the continent. The title, in black and gold lettering, had a subtle embossed effect, making it look understated, luxurious, and sophisticated compared to ordinary general histories of the continent.
Her fingers gently traced the uneven surface, while Maggie's mind was still preoccupied with the plot.
The story mainly describes the adventures of the seven gods after their reincarnation, with very little content about the history of the continent of Coral, including the King of Elements.
There is absolutely nothing about Filomona.
If it weren't for this book, Maggie wouldn't even know that such a magical succubus existed.
It was even less likely that she would know that Safa was her son...
Maggie's gaze was fixed on the title page of the general history of the continent. She vaguely felt as if she had formed a connection with the book, a feeling like... a weapon recognizing its master?
Or perhaps the weapon is bound to the character in the game and cannot be traded.
It was ethereal and indescribable, yet somehow Maggie was inexplicably certain of it.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on the titles of the books from each era. In her extreme concentration, she actually saw these words transform into characters of an ancient magical language.
This book contains another untranslated version, written in the language of the elemental spirits.
Something that can be constructed using magical language might be used as a form of magic?
"!"
This was an absolutely stunning discovery. Maggie immediately looked up and called out to Roy and the little ghost in the air.
"Roy, Little Ghost, can you decipher the meaning hidden in this?"
After a while, the little ghost pulled Roy out from the corner and floated in front of Maggie. The little ghost's eyes were full of disdain for Maggie, but for Roy's sake, it still followed her back.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be at your beck and call."
Maggie was already used to the little ghost's tsundere attitude, so she wasn't angry. Instead, she held the book up to the little ghost and shook it gently.
“I just saw the magical language forming above the book. It’s very special and I feel it must have some special meaning.”
"You're so smart and knowledgeable, you must know whether this can be used as magic, or what its true meaning is, right?"
She first praised the little ghost before revealing her purpose. Although this tactic was crude, it was very effective.
The little ghost, flattered by the praise, even had its white cloth fluttering faster. It raised its head high, surveying the table of contents of the general history of the continent with a condescending air.
Half a day passed, the air seemed to freeze, and Roy, full of curiosity, also went over to join them, finally looking up at Maggie with a puzzled expression.
"It's just a common language, what kind of magical language is it?"
As Roy finished speaking, a faint hint of embarrassment appeared on the little ghost's proud face. Clearly, he hadn't figured anything out either, but afraid of losing face, he had pretended for a long time, trying to figure something out.
"Ahem, could it be that you're hallucinating, thinking there's some ancient magical language on it?"
The little ghost tried to save face, and Maggie didn't expose her. She just looked thoughtfully at the book in her hand. It seemed that only she could see it, and even the elemental spirits hadn't noticed the special features on it.
Did the Geminis know about the book's special properties, which is why they came looking for it?
Maggie wasn't sure, and there was no way to verify it right now, so she could only keep her guesses to herself.
What she should do now is tell the little ghost what's in the book; maybe she can get some clues.
Maggie decisively picked up a piece of white paper and gestured for the little ghost and Roy to fly to her side. She then began to write down the contents of the book on the paper.
The little ghost, who had initially been dismissive, gradually became serious, but this seriousness was strangely amusing on his flat face with only two beady eyes.
Even Roy, who was initially just watching the drama unfold, was now filled with surprise.
Roy, naive and oblivious to other dangers, simply thought it was a good thing and blurted it out without hesitation. The little ghost didn't even have time to stop him, nor did he have time to cover it up or lie.
"My God! Maggie, the magic on this can turn you into one of us!"
After saying that, Roy excitedly picked up one of Maggie's fingers, grabbed her hand, and waved it around in the air, looking extremely happy.
It was probably the fact that 'Maggie can transform into an elemental spirit and become his companion' that made Roy incredibly excited.
"What's the meaning?"
Maggie was also shocked. Had she become one of the elemental spirits?
Does it mean that she, a human, can transform into an elemental spirit?
However, the composition and form of humans are completely different from those of elemental spirits, with no similarities whatsoever. This sounds even more absurd than turning lead into gold.
This is as absurd as turning a mass of oxygen into a human being.
“Roy is right. If this magic really works, you can indeed use it to disguise yourself as an elemental spirit with almost no flaws.”
Although the little ghost verbally acknowledged the power of magic, his expression was unusually complicated.
Yes, he had more to consider. If humans could easily impersonate elemental spirits, wouldn't that lead to the extinction of the elemental spirits?
Originally... the King of Elements was already extremely weak. If the vicious humans were to invade the Elemental Source Realm and set foot on that pure land, the elemental spirits would have no chance of survival.
They are a race that cannot use magic and have virtually no combat ability, making it almost impossible for them to defeat humans.
“Maggie.”
The little ghost called her name in an extremely formal manner.
"ah?"
Maggie was still immersed in the feeling that 'this magic is too powerful' when she suddenly heard the little ghost call her in an unusually serious tone, and she subconsciously raised her head.
"For Roy's sake, don't tell anyone about this magic."
The little ghost, in an almost pleading tone, suppressed his former arrogance and bowed deeply to Maggie. Or rather, he was begging a human for the future of the elemental spirits.
"?"
Maggie hadn't even considered that possibility. When she suddenly heard the little ghost say that, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized the potential meaning behind the magic.
The little ghost's concerns were entirely justified, especially since she was still human.
