My front door leads to a comic strip

"Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan, wake up."

Gu Yuan was groggily awakened by a gentle female voice. He frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

He was startled when he opened his eyes.

Simply because I was able to understand what the other person was saying.

Millie Alder stood before him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed:

"When did you get back?"

Sometimes she felt that Gu Yuan was more like a magician than she was.

They come without a trace and go without a trace.

"It's early morning." Gu Yuan rubbed his temples, trying to dispel the lingering drowsiness; his mind was still not very clear.

If it weren't for the fact that the student who taught me Japanese yesterday stayed up too late, and her family came looking for me, to avoid any misunderstanding...

He wouldn't come here to avoid the limelight.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan slowly rolled out of bed, his fingers braced on the edge of the bed, his gaze passing over Miliealde, and began to look around.

It was too dark last night to see clearly, but now that it's morning, I realize that the environment here is indeed simple and rustic.

Wooden house, oil lamp...

"Early morning?"

Millie Alde had never heard of the word before, but after a moment's thought, she didn't pay much attention to it.

She recalled what had happened a few days ago, her gaze returning to Gu Yuan, and she stared at him as she said:

"Do you have any food with you? I'm hungry. Also, how do you cook the meat in the cellar?"

"Why is it that no matter how I try, I can't recreate the delicious taste you gave me last time?"

Of course, she didn't have any seasoning.

Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze from looking around, gave a few perfunctory words, and then stepped out of the house.

The morning sunlight was a bit too bright, causing him to squint unconsciously.

Several villagers were busy at work not far away.

He took a deep breath of the unpolluted, fresh air, calmed his nerves for a moment, and then turned back into the house to prepare breakfast.

Fried eggs, vegetables, and chicken are all natural, additive-free foods.

I wonder if Milie Alder will be able to eat it.

Gu Yuan sprinkled some black pepper on his hands and sat down at the table.

Millie Alder poured a glass of red wine for the two of them, and they were about to start eating.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan asked:

"Before we eat, I'd like to ask you something. Do you think I can learn magic?"

"I have learned the warrior's techniques, and my physical strength has indeed increased somewhat, but I feel it is far from enough."

"Is there a move that can destroy a city in one go?"

Millie Alde's right hand, holding the cutlery, froze in mid-air.

"?"

She looked up in confusion.

"What?"

Although the world is still in a relatively primitive stage of society, it has gradually entered the era of city-states.

Even though she is an elf who rarely interacts with humans, Miliald is aware of the concept of a "city".

In her memory, the city was very big, and it would take at least a day to get out.

Now she wants to destroy it with one move... She herself can't do it, how dare Gu Yuan think about it?

His gaze turned serious.

Ding-dong.

She slapped the cutlery loudly, and said solemnly:

"Gu Yuan, do you have some misunderstanding about us magicians?"

"If I possessed such abilities, you wouldn't have had to save me last time."

"The limit I can achieve is probably to create a crater about thirty meters deep, and that's the result of a full-force attack."

Thirty meters?

Gu Yuan was taken aback.

That strong?

Although it's described in a lighthearted way, it's quite astonishing in modern society.

Little did people know that the kill radius of a conventional missile is only fifteen meters.

A sense of anticipation welled up in his heart, but what Milield said next was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

"As for learning magic... let me be frank, with your talent, it will be very difficult."

"While you were unconscious, I examined your entire body. Normally, even a newborn baby has some magical power within them."

"Those magical powers, like seeds, can grow stronger through daily meditation."

"Some people are exceptionally gifted, able to increase their magic power by ten percent in just one year; while others, with less talent, may need twenty years to achieve the same result..."

"In short, regardless of talent, everyone has some magic power within them, but you have none at all."

"I really can't imagine how I can teach you magic."

"..."

—Is it because of his modern identity? A hint of sadness flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He knows everything about the world of Frilian and understands how magic works, but he is troubled by the lack of magic power. What should he do?

Fortunately, Milieard didn't say anything too absolute.

She cut open the fried egg, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Seemingly having tasted something delicious, her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth turned up.

Seeing Gu Yuan's dejected expression, and hoping to enjoy more of this delicious food in the future, she carefully chose her words and added:

"Of course, it's not entirely hopeless."

Have you ever heard of goddesses? Legend has it that goddesses are the beings who created this world.

"To be honest, I don't believe it, because I've never seen it."

"However, it is said that the sacred rites she distributed two hundred years ago could grant people the power of magic directly."

"You might want to give it a try."

At this point, she put down her cutlery, took a small sip of red wine, and slightly narrowed her eyes.

Then, she looked at Gu Yuan, shook herself slightly, and continued:

"Once you possess the Holy Scripture, you might be able to gain magical powers."

"Once you possess magic, it's not too late for me to teach you magic."

These words were like the sun breaking through the clouds; Gu Yuan's mood instantly eased, and his eyes regained their light.

Yes, how could I forget that?

The goddess is called the Goddess of Creation, and she does exist in Frilian's worldview.

Because Frilian once used the Goddess Monument she left behind to travel through time.

She was not only the creator of magic, but also the enlightener of civilization, and the creator of both elves and humans.

Decided.

boom.

Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with determination as he asked:

"How can I obtain the sacred text?"

……

That night, Gu Yuan returned to the present world.

Through the conversation, he learned that the only way to obtain the Holy Scripture was to go to the capital of the unified empire.

There, believers can speak directly with the goddess, receive blessings, and thus gain mastery of magic.

—It's called Goddess Magic.

Unlike the mainstream view that magic is controlled by demons, its main function focuses on healing and breaking curses.

That's not important... No, healing is still very important; what Gu Yuan cares about more is magic.

At his desk, he looked at the map and could understand its scale by looking at the map.

The location where she and Miliald were currently was about five or six thousand kilometers away from the capital.

It's too far, but even if it's far, we have to take action.

He exhaled, and the incandescent light cast a soft glow on his face.

Put down the map.

Just then.

"Da da da".

The clock quietly struck twelve.

Gu Yuan was about to go to bed when he suddenly noticed that the portal between the two worlds that he carried with him was emitting a faint glow.

Upon taking it out, a progress bar appeared at the bottom of the door.

The progress bar is divided into six segments, and for some unknown reason, one of them has been lit up.

He was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.
