Maggie didn't know where she got the confidence to challenge the skills that only top-level magicians possessed.
“Roy once told me that your knowledge of magic is more extensive than that of the High Elves, and it seems that Roy was right.”
Maggie never hesitates to praise those who help her, especially since the little ghost possesses knowledge comparable to that of a great archmage.
To understand this, it would cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins per hour for a Grand Magus to personally teach her magic. In other words, one hour of a Grand Magus's lesson would be enough to buy Perkin Xavier.
Even so, there's no market for it. Archmages value their time and rarely waste it on such things.
Unless you're really short of money.
Now Little Ghost has been teaching her by herself for five or six hours at a time, which is definitely a win.
The little ghost was suddenly praised and was stunned at first, then its whole body turned bright red, and it became a pink little ghost.
"Cunning... cunning human, don't try to bribe me with sweet words!"
It stammered, pointing its short little finger at Maggie, the pink ghost looking indignant.
"Oh well."
Maggie shrugged, going along with him.
She increasingly felt that the little ghost was a shy and arrogant person who was just being tsundere, and that he might be easy to handle.
"Ahem... But what you say is true; I know far more than you can imagine."
The little ghost turned its head to the side, cleared its throat in a mocking manner, and raised its head high in a proud pose.
"for example?"
Maggie found it amusing, but outwardly she obediently supported the little ghost.
Going along with him at this time might bring unexpected surprises.
"I can also cast spells without chanting, but unfortunately I don't have a human body so I can't feel the flow of magic and can't actually use it."
Whenever the little ghost is praised, he's like a coin jar that spits out gold coins, revealing all his secrets at once.
When Maggie heard 'casting spells without chanting', she was visibly stunned for a moment, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.
"You can do this too?"
Maggie was truly shocked this time.
“The Sage of Tabor, who developed the technique of casting spells without chanting, died in the struggle for the throne. He didn’t pass it down. How would you know?”
Maggie began to doubt herself. Had she not developed "Miracle Days" enough?
She had clearly watched it dozens of times.
"The elemental spirit that accompanied him back then was my good friend..."
Upon hearing this, the little ghost's expression suddenly fell, and Maggie immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing; the elemental spirit might no longer be around.
"It had a contractual relationship with Tabor. When the contract holder dies, the mage also disappears. It only had time to tell me this technique before its intelligence dissipated and it became an unclaimed elf again."
Just as she had guessed, Maggie silently apologized in her heart. She had just touched a raw nerve; what a sin!
“The wise man of Tabor is humble and gentle; your friend should not have been mistreated.”
She softened her voice to comfort the little ghost.
The Book of Miracles describes the Sage Tabor as a very good person. He sacrificed his life to help humanity win a place among the seven gods, including the position of the God of Light.
However, after Norfil became a god, he did not disappoint. After the start of the God Era, the human race expanded rapidly and has now spread throughout the entire continent of Coral.
Most of the other races retreated to their original lands and avoided human life.
In theory, after obtaining a divine status, a god should sever ties with their original race and become a completely new divine race. However, in reality, each god above a divine position has a bias towards one another.
The only god who is completely impartial and does not show favoritism is... the god of darkness, Gretius.
He even single-handedly seized the position of the Dark God in the struggle for the divine throne, without the help of any race. It sounds unbelievable, but he really did it.
“I can teach you.”
The little ghost snapped out of its thoughts and suddenly turned to Maggie, speaking very seriously.
"Ah? Such a precious technique..."
Maggie had never even considered having the little ghost teach her, but she never expected the little ghost to offer to do so.
“I am just an elemental spirit. Even if you live for millions or thousands of years, I will not be able to use spellcasting without chanting. And you are the only human in tens of thousands of years who can see us and does not believe in gods. Perhaps it is suitable to entrust this to you.”
The little ghost always liked to hold his two short little hands, but they couldn't touch each other, which looked both cute and funny.
"good."
Maggie would never refuse such a good thing; it's a lost magical technique, a hundred times more powerful than double chanting.
Imagine that she can cast spells without chanting, and in battles, not only can she fight opponents of higher levels, she can even directly overpower them, relying on surprise attacks.
"When a human casts a spell, the magical energy in their body flows, and it takes several important moments to trigger the magical effect and successfully activate the spell."
The little ghost began to explain, and Maggie listened intently, even more so than when she was taking her college entrance exams.
"In theory, if you control the direction of magic flow within your body, you can achieve spellcasting without chanting."
After saying that, the little ghost stopped talking and looked at Maggie.
That's it? Just those two sentences?
Maggie received its look and asked cautiously, somewhat uncertainly.
If the principle is that simple, how come the archmages still can't achieve casting without chanting and can only try to shorten the casting time?
Yes and no.
The little ghost first nodded, then shook his head, leaving Maggie completely confused.
"Um....."
Seeing that the little ghost had no intention of continuing, Maggie had no choice but to bite the bullet and try it out first.
Starting with the most basic healing magic of the light element, she repeatedly chanted the magic incantation, feeling the magic power flowing into her body from the outside, and then flowing out from her chest, head, and fingertips, transforming into a soft light that could heal wounds.
Time passed, and after repeated practice, Maggie finally succeeded in simulating the flow of magic within her body, triggering magic without incantations.
result.....
It took longer than chanting a spell...
Even if she tried her best to speed up the flow, it wouldn't be as fast as using a spell to make it run automatically.
Perhaps it would take a lifetime to achieve spellcasting without chanting, but this is just a minor level of magic. Is she stupid?
It's a waste of time to do this.
Maggie opened her eyes speechlessly, looking at the little ghost floating leisurely in mid-air, feeling a sense of helplessness as if she had been tricked.
Of course, it's also possible that she's just too inexperienced and can't learn it.
But no matter what, the little ghost definitely didn't do it on purpose. Elemental spirits are all very simple-minded and don't lie or deceive people. Maggie can only accept her bad luck for wasting so much time.
Before Maggie could even speak, the little ghost floated over with a 'how are you feeling?' expression, feigning ignorance.
"Isn't it very slow?"
A 'well' character suddenly popped into Maggie's head, but seeing that the little ghost seemed to have something to say, she suppressed her bad temper and gave an awkward but polite smile.
"Outrageously slow."
She forced a smile and said stiffly.
"Okay, call Roy over now."
The little ghost nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever.
"What do you want?"
Without Maggie even having to call him, Roy popped out on his own, his little figure sparkling and looking very happy.
Maggie greatly admired Roy's mental state, as he seemed to have no worries every day.
“Yes, casting spells without chanting requires the assistance of elemental spirits. Currently, you are a novice mage, and Roy is only a lower-level spirit, so it is impossible for you to truly cast spells without chanting. However, pseudo-casting without chanting is still possible.”
As the little ghost spoke, he pointed with his short finger to Maggie's head and chest, and continued.
"You just need to let the magic flow through one of the locations, and leave the rest to Roy."
Before Maggie could even speak, Roy's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yay! I can finally experience what it's like to fight alongside humans!"
As soon as Roy finished speaking, a flame shot out from the little ghost's head, and its face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Perhaps angered by Roy's dismissive attitude, the little ghost stopped teaching and vanished into thin air with a 'pop'.
He suddenly quit, leaving Maggie completely bewildered and inexplicably feeling guilty for having stolen someone else's friend.
"?"
Roy, on the other hand, was full of questions, tilting his head in confusion as if he didn't understand why the little ghost was unhappy.
