Chapter 248: It turns out that humans can’t learn it?

Damn, a self-taught wild rune mage!
Dachun was overjoyed: "Honey, you got promoted!!"

But Shirley wasn't in a jubilant mood. Instead, she looked bewildered and solemn. "I've been inspired. The purpose of inserting runes into the frost spell is to hinder the frost spell, weakening the magic and releasing water. My previous failure was because I blocked it too much, and even the frost spell didn't work. This success just now... I find it strange. It seems like the frost spell activated the rune spell. I don't understand it!"

Dachun was amused. "It's okay. I'm an expert even if I don't understand it! The process of human understanding of the world has never been about understanding, but observing and summarizing the laws. As for the internal laws that operate in these laws, you can only understand them after becoming a master and understanding more! Anyway, now that you have entered the basics of rune magic, you will learn much faster later!"

Shirley shook her head. "While what you say makes sense, I'm not as smart as you. I'm afraid learning it won't be as fast as it used to be. It will only get harder. I even suspect that rune magic wasn't learned by humans at all, unless someone with exceptional intelligence like you is exceptional."

Dachun was stunned: "Isn't it from anthropology?"

Shirley said, "That's how I feel right now. Magic is more suited to me. But I've already experienced the magic of runes, so I've decided to focus on just one thing: practicing this newly developed technique—I'll tentatively call it Frost Rune Flow. In this technique, frost magic can activate runes, and runes can also trigger frost. Maybe I can reach the master level in frost magic! Once I reach master level, I might look back and gain new insights."

Dachun agreed: "Let's do it this way."

Although it feels like sharpening a sword before a battle, this is the only thing we can do.

Speaking of which, my trumpet is indeed not a human, and the speed of rune learning is also due to the help of Earth Lotus at critical moments.

Think about it, even underdeveloped races like goblins, minotaurs, kobolds, and lizardmen often use it, while humans don't. If it were so easy to master, given human utilitarianism, there's no reason why it wouldn't be adopted on a large scale. Any village would have a few rune shamans, right? Since humans can't use it, why not just devalue it?
Forget it, if it is really difficult to use because of "the lack of harmony between man and nature", then Shirley's hard training will probably be too difficult, so she might as well just play with a big set!
Dachun had a new idea: "Dear, how about you carve your spell on this tree trunk and use the trunk's energy to activate the spell? The bigger the scene, the greater the effect of your practice!"

Dachun wasn't talking nonsense. This was the principle behind the magic cannon. A mage could carve a magic formula into the cannon's core, multiplying its power tenfold. Even a simple bird-catching spell like Bind could bind Old Whale, rendering him unable to move.

Shirley was confused again: "This... I haven't learned it before. If you carve it randomly, it might waste the energy of the trunk and turn it into an ordinary piece of wood."

Maybe it involves the art of making staffs?
Dachun didn't care: "I can't transport it out anyway, so just consider it as training your skills. Maybe when you go deeper into space, you will encounter stronger tree monsters and better materials."

Shirley thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll flip through the book first."

After saying that, he took out a magic book and began to read it.

Dachun was surprised: "Is this magic book from Farna?"

Shirley said, "Yes, although Miss Fafner sent me out on a mission, I brought all the basic textbooks with me so as not to delay my studies. It's just that I've been practicing dance very hard these past two days and haven't had time to study..."

I see! As long as I have the textbook, even if I don't sharpen my skills before the battle, it's all gone...

Dachun wasn't going to sit around either. Since the goal was to summon a large amount of water to float the tree away, the person wouldn't have to float with him. This wood should at least be usable as a boat, right?
I decided to go and chop down a few trees nearby. I used the sacred hoe left by the pirate king to tie them together with the sacred ropes to make a raft. Not only could it carry people, but I might even be able to take away the large amount of materials I had just collected...

The following time was spent by Dachun dragging his weak body to hoe the tree, but even the holy-level hoe was of little use.

Dachun thought he could make up a joke: Do you want a divine hoe, a holy hoe, or an iron axe?
Shirley started copying the textbook directly, drawing some pattern formulas on the tree trunk for preparation, and then looked confused from time to time.

The wizard of the future doesn’t seem to be very smart, but it doesn’t matter, just use resources to attack him!

Just when Dachun was taking a break from hoeing, the system prompted: Your angel pet divinity received a resonance message.

This is Nan Hill's news! Dachun immediately summoned his angel pet, and the pet spoke directly. It was no longer an emotionless mechanical voice, but Nan Hill's voice: "I found an old man in a formal dress driving a small boat parked outside the island. Is he related to the city lord?"

Wow, this is really Angel Communications High-Tech!

Dachun quickly replied, "Yes, it seems he's called Butler Barbatos. He's here to deliver the spices. You can get him a piece of spice from the secret room... Um, is he alone?"

Nan Hill replied: "Yes, one person per boat! But the old man doesn't seem to be in good condition."

Holy shit! This guy is really working hard... I was exiled after midnight, and several of Farna's mirrors reached the island by boat at dawn, which took about five hours. This guy left before dawn and arrived at midnight, achieving the same speed on his own, and it's clear that he's also going to return before dawn.

Dachun felt inexplicably moved and suddenly changed his mind: "Let's get him two pieces of spices..."

So that he won’t come again next time.

"understood."

Dachun asked again, "Is there any news of the Evil Spirit City appearing?"

"No."

"That's good. No news is probably the best news."

A little later, Nan Hill sent a message: "The old man is very excited, but judging from his condition, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to row back."

Dachun was very conflicted: "Then...can Nanxier escort him back?"

"Ok!"

Oh, Nan Hill is so kind that he agreed without hesitation.

Dachun simply did the best he could: "Let the octopus escort us along the way to avoid encountering pirates."

This was also an indirect demonstration to the Baron, telling him that even if he was possessed by Mammon, he had to keep the secret and cooperate. I have the final say in the sea!

Nan Hill replied: "I think we can let the octopus tow the boat back."

That’s right, it was the octopus that towed the big evil spirit’s pirate ship over last time. It’s an absolutely professional tugboat!
Dachun advised, "Then make it behave properly. It should be stable, not frighten the old man, and not be seen by other passing boats."

"Got it. I'm now blessing and healing the old man and setting off."

Honestly, if this was a demonstration for Mammon, Dachun really hoped that one or two blind pirates would show up...
