Chapter 80, Section 79: The Legendary Magic Bestowed by the Goddess

Oh dear, I must take my leave now.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yuan pushed open the church door and walked back to the palace with great excitement.

Although the scene before him was bustling with activity, with many soldiers carrying heavy bricks and stones that had fallen from the shattered building, the fresh air he inhaled made him feel extremely refreshed.

I've finally changed jobs, but playing melee in a world dominated by magic feels like something's missing.

It's not that numerical monsters are bad, but rather that the combination of "numerical value + mechanics" prevents them from having additional weaknesses out of thin air.

Like Celia—

Recalling the horrific sight of her collapsing to the ground unconscious, Gu Yuan paused, unable to help but sigh:

"As the strongest mage on the continent, how could I have fallen to 'ants' one day?"

"It seems she doesn't possess the magic to keep herself completely conscious."

"This is good news, but it's also bad news."

Since it's impossible to be 'omniscient' and prevent unforeseen events, the only way is to be 'omnipotent' in order to mitigate risks at critical moments.

For some reason, at this critical moment, he inexplicably thought of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Even though they're already at max level, they still put on a bunch of buffs before battle, not wanting to let even the slightest accident go unnoticed.

Such behavior may seem meaningless to outsiders, but in Gu Yuan's eyes, it is a model worth emulating.

It only takes a few lines of chanting to gain 100% safety; no matter how you look at it, it's a worthwhile deal.

Celia lacked this caution, and that's why she lost.

"Bang bang."

As he fidgeted with his fingers, Gu Yuan fell into deep thought, his gaze vacant as his thoughts drifted toward the future.

Just as he was considering how to arm himself if he learned magic in the future.

Millie Alde, carrying books that were half her height, walked out of the church through a side door.

She carefully placed the books on the royal mount, then rubbed her aching lower back.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, he immediately strode forward and waved, saying:

"Gu Yuan, we've found all the magic books you wanted. Are you sure you want to learn so many?"

"I understand your passion for learning magic, but isn't it a bit too hasty?"

It typically takes at least several months, or even several years, to learn a new magic technique.

Aside from elves who live forever, most humans specialize in only one type of magic. Gu Yuan searched for so many, and she really couldn't understand the point.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately stopped his absent-minded thoughts.

He glanced sideways at Milie Alde, carefully choosing his words:

"You've arrived. Perhaps you're impatient, but that's not the time for me to start learning."

"Don't forget that Celia is still in our hands. I don't believe she'll tell the truth about anything related to magic."

"Only with these books as a reference can we determine whether what she said is true or false."

Compared to Celia, an unreliable source of information, the Church was clearly more reliable, which was why he actively sought the spellbook.

Upon hearing this, Milield's eyes lit up instantly: "I see."

She nodded involuntarily, suddenly feeling that she had wasted the last few centuries of her life.

After her initial reflection, she thought of Celia again, and her tone became concerned once more:

"How long do you plan to keep her locked up? Will you release her afterward?"

"What if she attacks you again if you let her go?"

After all, this was the first time she had encountered an elf who attacked without any explanation, and Miliald was still worried about Gu Yuan's safety.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment. Although he cared about Frillian's status as his "grandmaster," he was more concerned about his own "hmm—" than his interactions with the original characters.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke slowly, his voice tinged with deliberation.

"We'll see how she performs. I'll have the royal family search for magical items like the 'Ring of Domination'."

"I will only consider letting her go if I'm sure she won't attack me again."

"besides.""

He gently shook his head; the answer was self-evident.

"We'll have to trouble her to be a prisoner for a while; it's for everyone's sake."

Millie Alde murmured the words "Dominion Stone Ring," her brows furrowing slightly as she felt the name sounded somewhat familiar.

However, she didn't think about it too much, because she could tell its function just by hearing the name, and nodded.

It seems Gu Yuan is serious.

I'll help look for it myself.

At this time.

Gu Yuan glanced at the books piled high on the carriage, and continued walking, saying as he went:

"If you have time, please describe the effects of these spells for me. Knowing them in advance will help me make a better judgment."

Millie Alde immediately snapped out of her daze and began to explain in detail, starting with the most basic defensive magic.

The two chatted all the way, their conversation ranging from the principles of magic to techniques for using it, and before they knew it, they had made it back to the palace without any trouble.

After formally meeting the emperor of the country and having a simple meal, Gu Yuan temporarily settled into a room arranged for him in the palace.

As night fell, Millie Alde, knowing that he knew nothing about magic theory, offered to move into his room to help him with his lessons.

Gu Yuan naturally did not refuse.

Meanwhile, in the palace corridor, the youngest princess, Ashley, dressed in an exquisite gown and with light makeup on her face, waited anxiously.

However, no matter how long they waited, the spirit never appeared.

She bit her lip, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. She lowered her gaze, thinking to herself:

It wasn't that I didn't make up my mind, but that someone else beat me to it.

After saying that, she turned around, head down, and dejectedly returned to her room, silently resolving to prepare for another battle tomorrow.

In the other room, unlike the princess's dejection, Gu Yuan frowned, looking utterly puzzled.

The moonlight streamed in through the window, softly falling on the paper and making the writing exceptionally clear.

The universal language of this world was written on it.

This shouldn't be the case.

"When will I be able to write in the language of this world?"

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, his tone full of doubt.

At first, he thought it was a hallucination, but he was completely stunned when he repeatedly confirmed that the handwriting on the paper was indeed his own.

If Milie Alde hadn't taught him magic theory today and had him try writing a few runes, he probably wouldn't have noticed this anomaly.

Just as he was filled with confusion, the voice of the sacred text rang in his mind at the opportune moment:

"Today."

"?" Gu Yuan's eyes widened, his face full of confusion, and he was speechless for a moment.

today?

Later, after the explanation in the sacred texts, he suddenly realized that everything was the work of the goddess.

Because they wanted to observe their own growth, they cast a spell to become fluent in all languages ​​and scripts, thus avoiding being hindered by cultural differences.

Although it's unclear why the goddess is being so friendly to me, it's undoubtedly good news.

From now on, I won't have to suffer through memorizing vocabulary and learning to write anymore.

Feeling invigorated, I leaned back in my chair and stretched.

After a brief respite, he picked up his textbooks again and buried himself in them, trying to etch the obscure theoretical knowledge into his brain bit by bit.

Just then, a faint "Ning" sound came from behind. It sounded somewhat confused and weak, instantly breaking the silence of the room.

Gu Yuan paused in his movements.

Celia woke up.
