The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 270 Lonely Peak Forest

Moran adjusted the order of his magic learning in order to explore the inner area next.

After returning to the dormitory, I started reading "The Prophecy Witch's Magic Book".

Her understanding of magic will greatly influence the improvement of her magic level.

The next morning.

Sylph and Vasita were each watching alchemy theory lecture videos in their dorm rooms.

The other little witches are also watching the video feedback from yesterday's wilderness survival class, learning from the experience and preparing for the next mission in the inner area.

Moran took two chicken burgers made from three-tailed chickens and left the dormitory.

Starting today, she plans to move her daily magic practice to the inner area.

They practiced magic while exploring the inner area.

Moran flew to the outside of the hedge wall on his broomstick. Just as he was about to go in, he heard the headmaster say, "I advise you not to bring your flying broomstick in."

Moran was puzzled: "It's fine during class, but why can't we bring flying brooms in when we're exploring on our own after class? Do the fourth-year students who live in the inner area travel on foot?"

Amisha calmly countered:
"Are you sure you want to fly in? There are plenty of dangerous flying beasts in the inner area. If you ride in on an unprotected broom without finding a safe route, you'll be in trouble if the broom breaks!"

"..." Moran immediately handed his broom to the border guards of the inner area for safekeeping by the hedges.

She'd rather keep the broom in a safe place than have it ruined.

After all, right now the flying broom has nothing on it except for an invisible cushion rune set.

If the broom head breaks, there are spare broom grasses to replace it; but if the broom handle breaks, you'll have to replant broom grass.

"Looks like I need to upgrade the flying broom as soon as possible."

Moran made a note of this.

Soon, light appeared ahead, and she was about to pass through the hedge.

He quickly cast three layers of protective magic on himself, plus a luck spell.

As you walk to the edge of the hedge, you are greeted by a grassy, ​​rocky ground and steep, towering stone peaks.

Trees are actually quite scarce; only a few short trees can be seen on the top and at the foot of the stone peak.

Moran did not rush in, but first cast a wind-sensing spell to scout the situation ahead.

Today's class is different from yesterday's. If the headmistress rescues her today, all the animal hides and meats she collected yesterday, the plant extracts she made, and the rice and grains she stockpiled in the dormitory will be confiscated.

Once Breeze brought back the results of her investigation and confirmed that there were no problems ahead that she couldn't solve, Moran continued forward.

Although there were no tall trees ahead, the stone peaks stood taller and denser than the trees, and the view was not as open as in the forest.

Fortunately, there don't seem to be many large wild animals here, making it seem safer than in the forest.

As she officially stepped into the inner area, the fog in the southern part of the core area of ​​the academy map dissipated slightly, revealing the name of the area.

"Lone Peak Forest?" Moran murmured the name of the place. "That's quite fitting."

With so many rocks, I wonder if there's a rich mineral deposit?
Moran then used his gold-detecting technique to explore the underground conditions of the area.

"There really is!" Moran detected traces of a crystal mine.

These are just low-quality white crystals, full of impurities, and very rare, so they have no value in being collected.

In some places, you can still see broken sections, which seem to indicate that someone used mining techniques to collect the materials.

"That's true. This place is right by the hedge and close to the dormitory area. Many of the previous little witches would definitely choose to enter from here to begin their exploration of the inner area."

The talent for metal-based magic isn't particularly rare; if there were mines for it, they would have been mined long ago. Especially versatile crystal ore.

But surely they couldn't have collected everything in such a large area!

Moran decided to go a little further in.

If you collect good mineral materials, you can use them for alchemy. The magical items made in this way can be carried with you and used in the inner area without having to be handed over to the academy.

Unfortunately, the grass and soil here are not thick enough to be suitable for planting; otherwise, it would be a relatively safe place to live.

After all, there are no large wild animals, it is close to the core area, and the groundwater is quite abundant.

While using the Wind Sensing Technique to explore, they walked forward, passing a stone peak. Ahead were more steep stone peaks, all looking much the same.

Moran turned around but could no longer see the hedge.

Although she remembered the route she had taken very clearly and had a map to compare it with, she was worried that she might get confused if she continued walking like this.

She thought for a moment, then chose a relatively high rocky mountain in the Lone Peak Forest. She took a vine seed that she had collected in the forest the day before as a spellcasting material, used vine magic to build a vine ladder, and climbed up.

When she had climbed two-thirds of the way up, Moran sensed something was wrong. She saw a giant eagle soaring in the distance!
It saw her too!

And it was flying towards her very quickly.

A giant eagle the size of a small house!

Moran immediately used her strongest defensive magic, Golden Shield, to protect her head and body.

A flash of golden light appeared, and sparks flew from the giant eagle's talons.

blocked.

Immediately afterwards, a blade strike was aimed at the giant eagle's talons.

Although the spatial blade is small, it can easily cut off one of the giant eagle's fingers.

The giant eagle, in pain, instinctively flew into the sky, giving Moran a chance to catch his breath.

She quickly slid down the vine ladder and landed on the ground.

The ground is her home turf.

After landing, she quickly threw a rocket at the giant eagle that was circling and screeching in the sky.

The piercing damage of the Fire Arrow spell is not as high as that of the Golden Arrow spell, and its magic level is also lower, but the fire elemental power can deal extra damage to the giant eagle.

Lady Tracy encountered such a giant eagle in "The Travels of Valen".

Of course, what the Book Witch senior said was that the feathers of this giant eagle were more flammable than oil, and the oil extracted from it burned longer than candles.

Although the flames from the rocket spell don't spread as much as real natural fire, they are still quite troublesome for the giant eagle.

It burned a charred patch the size of a face on its belly.

Just enough to provoke it, but not enough to make it run away in fear.

When it flew back down to the ground, intending to knock her over and peck her head, Moran threw a large ball of fire at it.

This time it's not fire elemental force that lacks diffusion, but a real natural fire created by the Flame Spell. Once released, it will automatically spread as long as there is flammable material.

In an instant, the giant eagle turned into a fire eagle, screaming incessantly as it crashed into the mountainside again and again, trying to extinguish the flames, but all in vain.

Desperate to seek revenge on Moran, they discovered that the people on the ground had vanished, leaving only a large, square mound of earth.

It crashed in hard, but caused no real damage.
