It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 11: A magic teacher, not a magic teacher
Xia Zhi didn't know how he fell asleep.

Maybe it was because the bonfire was really warm, and the heat from the night breeze was really comfortable, which made him a little drowsy...

Vivian's voice was like the gurgling of running water, gently echoing in my ears. She confided the stories and emotions hidden deep in her heart, which made people feel pity and seemed to touch the softest corner of her heart...

Although his eyelids felt heavy as if they were full of lead, Xia Zhi still tried his best to stay awake, because he knew that the girl needed someone to listen to her at this moment. However, as he listened, he could not help but gradually immersed himself in this comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.

The warmth from the bonfire perfectly offset the coolness of the night breeze.

The wonderful feeling of warmth and tranquility intertwined was like a lullaby, making his consciousness wander between comfort and haziness.

In addition to the accumulated fatigue of the past few days, he hardly got enough rest... This was an obvious fact. After all, looking at Vivian's confused state, how could he really rest assured? He hardly closed his eyes.

Until this moment, it was like a ray of light shining through the haze...

The girl's condition finally improved, and there were valuable signs of improvement...

Xia Zhi's mental defenses, which had been as tight as a string, finally loosened quietly. It was at this moment of relaxation that the long-accumulated fatigue swept in silently like a tide, drowning his clarity.

In the gentle night breeze and the swaying bonfire, we chatted with each other...

Unconsciously, his consciousness began to become hazy, and his vision gradually fell into darkness...

"..."

"..."

The night breeze blew gently, the bonfire was quiet and blazing, and only the faint sound of firewood crackling quietly bloomed in the flames.

The vast forest stretches to the horizon, and the outline of the distant mountains, against the backdrop of the thick night, looks like a huge beast sleeping in the arms of the earth.

Vivian also slowly stopped.

She pursed her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but all those words turned into silence and blended into the boundless night.

Although the girl still had a lot to say, there were still accumulated emotions in her heart, those thoughts that had never been expressed...but the person she could talk to had already fallen asleep. She hugged her knees, and quietly stared at the other person sleeping peacefully across the flickering flames.

I was unable to continue talking, but for some reason, I didn't feel lost.

The jumping flame is like a warm heart in the night, constantly emitting a fiery and soothing power.

This heat was like a healing medicine, penetrating the body and almost reaching the deepest part of the soul, gently soothing the torn and stinging wounds, bringing her unprecedented peace and comfort.

"……Thanks."

After a long time, a voice of thanks was heard so soft that it almost floated away in the wind.

Like the whisper of the night wind, gentle and sincere.

…………

…………

I regained consciousness...

But I don’t really want to move…

I don’t want to see that familiar ceiling, that familiar bedroom, or face the same old day, or face the monotonous morning of June 21st…

Without even opening his eyes, Xia Zhi habitually reached out his hand and swiped the screen of his mobile phone with great skill. He could accurately count the seconds without even looking at it, and turned off the alarm the moment it rang.

This should have been an ordinary scene in stereotyped life.

But the reality broke his expectations, and his hand did not touch the familiar cold screen.

What is even more puzzling is that even though I missed the expected time, the alarm on my phone did not ring as expected.

"……Um?"

Xia Zhi woke up instantly and opened his eyes suddenly. What he saw was not the familiar scene, but the magnificent starry sky.

Above the vast sky is the Milky Way that seems to extend to the end of the universe, ancient and vast, shocking and romantic.

"...!!"

He straightened up suddenly, sat up, and quickly looked around. At this moment, he was not in the familiar and boring bedroom, but in the middle of a desolate field.

The bonfire not far away was still burning quietly.

Opposite, the girl with blonde twin ponytails sat on the ground in silence, her hands folded on her knees.

Under the deep and quiet night, it was like an oil painting at night. In short, everything seemed exactly the same as before, without any changes.

Xia Zhi looked at this scene and seemed to wake up suddenly. He breathed a sigh of relief - it was not fake, he was not dreaming - he had indeed broken free from that hopeless cycle and struggled out of the vortex of time.

It's no wonder that he would have such thoughts. After all, the experience in the Fairy Kingdom only lasted a few days, while the cycle he experienced had been repeated thousands of times. The weight of the two on the time scale is like the difference between stardust and planets, and they cannot be compared.

——The countless repetitions of time, in the sober pain that cannot be measured by numbers, engraved this deep-rooted knowledge into the depths of his soul bit by bit.

——In comparison, although the experience of the Fairy Kingdom was more magnificent and revealed a more wonderful world, it only lasted a few days, like an unreal short dream.

In contrast, Xia Zhi naturally tended to believe in the truth of the countless cycles, which were just reflections formed by countless cycles. Moreover, this was the first time he woke up from his sleep after coming to the Fairy Kingdom.

"If you're awake...eat something first." A calm voice came from the side.

Vivian reached out her hand lightly and took the piece of barbecue that was roasting quietly beside the campfire. I don't know what method was used, the aroma of the barbecue seemed to be blocked before, and I couldn't smell it at all.

It was not until she moved that the fragrance suddenly emanated.

And along with it came the slight crackling sound of burning wood in the campfire.

Is it some special magical power that can block both sound and smell molecules? Xia Zhi touched the blanket that appeared inexplicably on his body, thinking about it, but he didn't dwell on it.

"Thanks……"

He reached out to take the barbecue handed to him by the girl, collected his thoughts, glanced at her calmly, and asked a question casually.

"By the way, how long have I slept? It's still dark..."

At least on the surface, Vivian had calmed down, no longer as dull and confused as before. Although her expression was still somewhat sad, he did not expect Vivian to be able to come out of it all at once.

This is unrealistic.

He also doesn't need to continue comforting the other person, because that would be like holding on to him or her and making the other person recall this sad experience over and over again.

The most appropriate approach is not to do anything deliberately, just let nature take its course and believe that time will allow emotions to settle, just as time will quietly heal trauma...although it seems strange for him, a victim of time, to say this.

"It's already dawn..."

Vivian looked at him, her tone still calm: "You slept for a whole day."

"..."

"..."

Xia Zhi froze in place. He originally thought that he had not slept for long. After all, it was still dark when he fell asleep, and the moon and stars were still in the sky when he woke up. He naturally estimated that only a few hours had passed at most.

Although judging from his condition, he had been up for several days and nights and had not slept for nearly half a week, it was normal for him to sleep for more than a day and a night.

but……

He reached out his hands and touched his chest and stomach in confusion, as if he was carefully feeling something.

If you have slept for that long, you should not be unaware of it, because the condition of your body will tell you intuitively.

"During this period, it is best not to trust your physical senses too much. Your previous experience may not be applicable..." Vivian's voice sounded, "Because your body has ignited the magic furnace and started to convert magic."

The girl seemed to know what he was thinking and explained calmly.

This was also one of the intuitive changes that happened to this person in her eyes. At the beginning, he was completely insulated from magic power. Like an ordinary human being, he could not sense and use magic power.

However, they can survive safely in an environment filled with high concentrations of magic power. Even if they are thrown directly into the Age of Gods, they will not be killed by the magical environment.

Anyway, it seems contradictory and strange. However, this person cannot always be an ordinary person, because his essence is a completely heterogeneous existence, an alien that does not belong to this planet or this world in its fundamental properties.

Even if he himself has not mastered any means of "wielding the mystery", it does not change the fact that he himself is the "greatest mystery"... and according to the principles of magic, the mystery will be defeated by a mystery that is more powerful than itself.

As it stands now, the Ether has already begun to succumb to him.

"What magic furnace core? What is that thing?" Xia Zhi was stunned when he heard it. Is there such a thing in his body?
"It's just a general statement. I don't know the specific situation of yours. Just like humans have magic circuits, fairies have fairy patterns, and even dragons have their own unique dragon hearth..."

Vivian shook her head——

"In the final analysis, it is an analogy, referring to a kind of power furnace that can convert and generate magic power in a living being that can utilize magic power."

"So mine is a magic circuit?"

Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows and said with interest.

This is not necessarily the case...

Vivian wanted to say something, but stopped. Although she inherited a lot of information entrusted by her other self, she had not yet had time to integrate a lot of magic knowledge, and she was simply accepting the information transmission.

She is now just a rookie in the field of magic. Although she has unique top talent, she has only just started on this path.

After thinking about it, the girl did not express her opinion, but just looked at Xia Zhi in confusion.

Uninvited guests from outer space always symbolize the upper mystery and do not follow the common sense and laws of physics and magic in this world. Just like the origin of the South American gods, it is clearly just the result of alien bacteria falling on Earth.

——A fiber-type information memory attached to a meteorite that fell to Earth, and merged with Earth's plants.

——Plants continued to grow vigorously and prosper, eventually forming a huge network covering 70% of the earth's surface.

Although this also involves a long process of change and evolution, and one cannot become a god overnight, but this typical case is enough to illustrate many things... If the person in front of him grows enough, how far can he go?

"correct!"

Xia Zhi studied the changes in himself but found nothing, nor could he feel any magic. He was slightly disappointed, but immediately remembered something and clapped his hands.

"You seemed to have said yesterday that you were going to do something called Heroic Spirit Summoning? Have you already started?"

If I just slept like this for a whole day and a night, Vivian would have plenty of time to prepare and get ready. I'm sure she would have tried it, right?

"..."

"..."

"I tried, but failed..." The girl pursed her lips, with a hint of disappointment in her pupils that was hard to conceal.

"did not succeed?"

"It didn't work. It doesn't seem that simple..." Vivian shook her head. "Summoning Heroic Spirits is a very advanced technique. I... I may not have fully understood it."

The "Ritual of the Advent: Summoning of Heroic Spirits" was originally a decisive battle magic used to save the primate world, but for their own convenience, humans downgraded this magic to create a summoning system, which is the Holy Grail War.

This is also the most complete magical knowledge among the information entrusted to me by another her in pan-human history.

Xia Zhi frowned when he heard this. Is summoning a heroic spirit so troublesome?
During the conversation last night, he also listened to Vivian's emphasis on the advantages of this summoning system. He knew that this was an important way to attract people to join the group, and of course he also had high hopes for it.

However, it seems that this is not an easy plan to carry out.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's take our time. There's no rush anyway..." Looking at the girl's disappointed expression, he tried to comfort her. "You're not going to say it anymore. If there's no limited UP, it's almost impossible to draw a specific character from the normal pool, right?"

It is said that summoning heroic spirits also depends on fate.

If you don't have a connection and want to draw a specific SSR, you can only use the holy relics related to the heroic spirit as a catalyst to have a chance to perform a designated summon.

Otherwise, summoning will depend entirely on luck. Countless heroes throughout history are sharing the probabilities in the same pool. You can imagine how deep and poisonous that pool is. There is probably no hope.

"Limited UP? Normal pool?"

Vivian was stunned and looked at him in confusion. What was this person saying? Why couldn't she understand a word he said?

"Is that the magic circle used for summoning?" Xia Zhi quickly finished the barbecue in his hand, then stood up and looked in a certain direction in the distance. There was a large open space over there that seemed to have been specially repaired.

He reacted very quickly and immediately realized that this must be the place where Vivian used to test the summoning of heroic spirits.

"right……"

The girl answered in a low voice, and seeing the man walking over with great interest, she had no choice but to stand up and follow him.

Coming to the open space, Xia Zhi looked at it with interest. There was a pattern carved on the ground that looked like a magic circle, which was noisy and full of mystery.

"I followed the steps exactly, and the spell was specially adjusted by "me"... I didn't have any special requirements for the materials, but I don't know why, there is no reaction."

Vivian stood aside and said with a sigh.

"That's it-"

Xia Zhi thought about it and said nothing. He knew nothing about this, so he shouldn't make any random comments.

"You said you wanted to find a teacher, right? Have you decided who to summon?" He asked casually, glancing at the array pattern on the ground and immediately frowned. How much blood did Vivian lose? It couldn't all be her own, right?

"I don't know either... It would be best to try to find one that is related to Britain, so that it would be more suitable to be summoned in this fairy country." The girl's voice was somewhat low, and she didn't know who she should summon.

There is no suitable candidate in the history of the Fairy Kingdom.

But she doesn't know much about pan-human history.

Although the information entrusted to him by another person mentioned the relationship between heroic spirits and land, he seemed to be particularly disgusted with "Merlin", who was definitely related to Britain.

"Something to do with Britain...Merlin? If that exists, then this is quite appropriate."

Xia Zhi squatted down, looked at the summoning circle, and answered the question casually.

He knew Merlin too?

He does seem to be an outstanding magician...but when I think of this name, I feel disgust and rejection from the bottom of my heart.

Vivian whispered, "Anything else?"

"Merlin is not suitable either? That's difficult. Let me think about it again. The magic teacher related to Britain..." Xia Zhi frowned, and at the same time, he gently reached out and touched the bloodstain on the pattern of the summoning circle, wanting to confirm something.

"It's a magic teacher, not a magic teacher..."

The girl opened her mouth to correct him, saying that the other party did not have a clear enough classification and understanding of this concept.

"Let's not talk about this first..."

Xia Zhi curled the corners of his mouth and watched the array pattern under his fingertips gradually light up.

"Vivian, take a look. Is this thing glowing?"

The next moment, he felt his arm being grabbed and dragged backwards for a distance.

Vivian protected the young man behind her and looked ahead vigilantly.

The wind was howling and thunder and lightning were flashing.

After a burst of gorgeous special effects, a phantom from another time and space appeared in the center of the summoning circle in front.

The petite figure with long silver hair and a pure white silk jumpsuit embroidered with gold thread that reached down to her ankles appeared in the night wind, looking around in panic, seemingly completely unable to react to her own situation.

"Who are you?" Vivian frowned. What kind of heroic spirit was summoned?
"I...I am..."

The petite girl with long silver hair was stunned, as if she didn't know how to answer this question.

At this time, another voice sounded——

"It's related to Britain, and it's a magic teacher... it really makes sense."

Xia Zhi looked very strange. He carefully looked at the summoned girl and curled his lips. "The keeper of the 103,000 magic books of the British Puritan Church, Index, right?"
