The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 232 One-Way Sound-Cutout Magic Array

Moran looked around her dormitory room, only resting after the magic eye spell on her eyelids had worn off.

For the first use, the Eye of the Talisman lasted for half an hour, which is already quite good.

The next day, the first thing Moran did after waking up was to touch her eyes.

Thankfully, there's no swelling.

Her eyelids seemed exceptionally resilient; perhaps it was due to the rapid healing ability of vampires.

After all, her rapid healing has already reached the initial stage.

She drew "revealing" runes on both of her eyes and then went out for a stroll.

He looked around, touched things, and studied the alchemical runes scattered throughout the academy.

They can be found in the breadfruit grove, the farmland, at the ingredient collection point, in the castle, and along the mountain road to the academy.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that traces of alchemical runes were everywhere.

The greenhouse has the most rune marks in the core area of ​​the entire academy.

Several of the rune combinations and alchemical magic circles were ones she had never seen in books.

It is said that this is all thanks to the previous dean.

After wandering around the academy for half a day and giving himself a half-day lesson in identifying alchemical runes, Moran finally stopped.

The amount of alchemical rune materials accumulated has skyrocketed.

It was during lunchtime that Moran looked at the class schedule in the "School Year Plan".

All the magic classes on Monday through Friday afternoons were replaced with introductory alchemy classes.

Fortunately, the classroom location was no longer the West Tower from our first year, but the laboratory.

The laboratory is located northwest of the academy castle, not far from the training grounds.

"That way I can finish my class and then conveniently go to the training ground to practice magic!" Moran thought to himself.

That's good news!
Unlike the training grounds, the laboratory can only be entered by flying in; some little witches of the same grade have been inside before.

However, they could only walk around outside and couldn't go into the laboratory.

Ten minutes before two o'clock, the little witches flew out of the laboratory.

The laboratory is a complex of buildings, similar to a dormitory area, with many small houses.

The only difference is that the laboratory building is larger and more robust.

The No. 1 Primary Alchemy Laboratory is located on the outermost edge; you can see it as soon as you arrive.

This time, the little witches were surprised to find that the door opened with a touch, and they could easily walk in.

Unlike before, when it was impossible to open, and even if it was opened, people were blocked at the door and couldn't get in.

Inside the laboratory, there was a large solid wood table, bigger than any of the previous classroom desks.

Judging from the quantity, they should be desks.

The included chair is a movable, height-adjustable stool with casters and a height-adjustable shaft.

The nine floor tiles surrounding each set of desks and chairs are a type of blue-patterned tile I've never seen before; from a distance, they look like blue carpets.

The rest of the floor is made of ordinary stone tiles, which are used in many parts of the Academy Castle.

Between each area of ​​blue-patterned bricks, there is a stone floor tile.

The blue-patterned tile area seems to echo the magic light track on the ceiling, with a set of tables, chairs, and carpet corresponding to two magic chandeliers.

The chandeliers are all installed on light tracks on the ceiling, and can easily slide with a levitation technique.

Although there was nothing on the table, the classroom still made the little witches inexplicably feel that alchemy was not an easy task. Moran's eyes were fixed on the blue-patterned floor tiles and couldn't be looked away.

To the other little witches, it was just a kind of blue floor tile that looked a bit special. But to Moran, every blue-patterned floor tile area was shrouded in the power of runes, with runes ringing around the tiles.

There weren't many places to observe the runes, which clearly indicated that the magic circle's level wasn't too far beyond her observational abilities.

Like a puzzle piece with a missing piece, if you study it, you still have a chance to figure out what's depicted on the puzzle.

As usual, the little witches chose their seats and were about to sit down when Moran squatted down by the blue-patterned floor tiles and didn't move.

The little witches, who had just entered the area with blue-patterned bricks, paused, rubbed their ears, and looked around in surprise.

Why do you all seem to be speaking softer all of a sudden?

"Sylph, can you hear my voice?"

"Vashida, are you talking to me?"

"Sylph, what did you say?"

"How is this going?"

……

Even though everyone was not far apart, the sound around us suddenly became much quieter.

“These blue-patterned bricks have alchemical magic circles on them,” Moran said.

The little witches all looked toward the figure circling the blue-patterned bricks near the middle seat in the front row, seemingly looking at something.

Moran's voice didn't quiet down at all!

But why are other people's voices so soft that they can't be heard at all?
Vasita stepped out of the blue-patterned brick area: "Moran, what alchemical magic circle?"

The little witches, still in the blue-patterned brick area, were surprised to find that they could hear Vasita's voice clearly now!

"There is a magic circle that weakens sound in one direction."

Moran squatted down to examine the area while saying:

"It's because of the magic circle that weakens sound in one direction that the sound coming out of the magic circle becomes very, very small, but the sound coming in from outside the magic circle is unaffected."

This was the first magic circle she recognized. Because it was a low-level magic circle, the runes were quite complete, and she could find it by searching her mind for a little while.

"This should be a sensing magic circle, and these two look a bit like a fire extinguishing magic circle and a waterproof magic circle."

Moran straightened up and looked at the desks and chairs. She added, "There are some on the chairs too, at least intermediate level. However, the types of runes involved in the various levels of protective arrays are similar, just the layers are different. It should be a protective magic array, and it seems to take effect through contact."

"No, Moran, how did you figure that out?"

The little witches rubbed their eyes.

They also infected the eyes, using magic to infect them for over a year. Now, even without infecting the eyes, they can still detect traces of energy.

But they didn't see anything!

“The Eye of the Talisman.” Moran raised his head and pointed to his eyes.

The little witches were surprised to find that Moran's eyes seemed to have a layer of dark golden energy.

It looks like the gold element, but it's a bit darker than the gold of the gold element.

“The Eye of the Talisman? What is that?” Vasida asked.

“It’s a support-type alchemical spell. It can reveal hidden alchemical runes. I thought it might come in handy in alchemy class; I just learned it last night,” Moran said.

Vasita nodded: "With your learning speed, it's normal to learn a spell ahead of time, but learning an alchemical spell is one thing, but how come you can now recognize the function of a magic circle? You've even learned all the single-target runes?"

She also took an elective course in alchemy theory, and is still in the stage of recognizing single runes.

“I haven’t fully mastered individual runes yet, but I can recognize most magic circles and rune combinations directly. However, I’m not sure I can recognize the alchemical magic circles that have appeared in the last two or three hundred years. I also still have some alchemy books that I haven’t read yet,” Moran said.
