I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Following the transaction process outlined in the announcement, Serishina first tried to recall the appearance of the magical artifact in her mind, making sure it was clear and accurate.

Then pray to the governor, asking Him in a respectful and solemn tone to bear witness to the transaction and to accept the item as a sacrifice.

After completing this step, a simple turquoise bracelet appeared in her palm, which was the real-world form of the magical artifact.

"They actually brought the real world into the realm of the void? This is simply..."

As Serishina was marveling to herself, the turquoise bracelet suddenly disappeared again, replaced by a spell scroll.

She picked up the scroll and looked at it, a hint of amazement flashing in her beautiful eyes, and commented:

"This is the third-tier spell [Explosive Flame], right? If this spell were represented by a traditional magic circle, its structure and patterns would be extremely complex. I didn't expect you to be able to carve it so accurately. It's a pity it's a bit old. Why didn't you use fresher parchment and mana ink?"

"It's brand new in my hands."

Luo Yue quickly replied.

"Huh? Could this be the effect of the commission? Then quickly check what changes have been made to my magical artifact!"

Luo Yue was indeed playing with the turquoise bracelet, and he never expected that the sphere of light he had seen before would actually look like this in reality.

However, after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find any significant changes until he activated the artifact and switched it to "online class mode," at which point he noticed that the fonts and images inside had become slightly blurry.

After describing the changes to Seresina, she nodded, having made some discoveries:

"It seems that this [spirituality] is related to the quality of the equipment. For example, the clearer the ethereal artifact, the higher the quality. The same applies to your scroll. Therefore, those very precious scrolls need to be sealed using special methods."

"So spirituality is this simple?"

"No, that's just a superficial conclusion; it actually involves an unbelievable concept—"

For example, clarity determines the quality of a ritual implement, while power determines the quality of a scroll. These are two completely different things. How are they integrated and quantified together? And how are they extracted?

As Celina spoke, she fell into deep thought again. After a long while, she shook her head and sighed:

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. The power displayed by the Governor has long since reached the realm of the unknowable. Why should we humans be troubled by it?"

No! My dear teacher, please think about it again! I'm counting on you to help me figure out all this weird stuff!

Luo Yue cried out in his heart, then heard Celishina suggest:

"You wrote that announcement about the transaction, right? You should revise it again and make it clearer that taking a cut will lower the quality."

"Yes, I will report to the Governor."

"By the way, when that crazy engineer wakes up, you can try to trade with him. He's much richer than me, and he has a lot of good stuff."

"Okay, I still have some questions about cultivation, and I hope my mentor can help me answer them."

The discussion about the transaction came to a temporary end, and Royo then began to ask questions. The first question took Serishina by surprise.

"This little monster, only at level one, can already cast level three spells? And such a complex spell as [Explosive Flame]?"

"How did he do that? His mental and magical power shouldn't be enough to support him in completing the weaving, right? Even if he possesses the mage's unique ability of [Elemental Affinity], he still couldn't do it, could he?"

"And the power he described is clearly stronger than the original [Exploding Flame]. Although this spell has a large area of ​​effect, its power is only average. How could he blast a huge crater in the valley? That's already the destructive effect of a fourth-tier spell."

"Well, considering he's a Favored One, powerful and insane, it seems normal."

"But how am I supposed to answer his question? Shortening the chanting time? This kind of complex spell is already difficult to cast. The incantation itself is a very long string. It's already frightening enough that you, at the first level, can even cast it. How can you shorten it?"

Serishina felt a pang of unease, but in order to maintain her image as a mentor, she could only give a very general answer:

"Your current rank is still too low. You need to improve it as soon as possible. After you advance, your magic power and mental power will be improved, and you will be able to chant faster."

In addition, you can collect equipment and potions that can increase casting speed, which can also provide some assistance.

After saying that, she changed the subject and reminded him:

"【Magic Weaving】is the academic name in the textbook. We usually refer to it as 【chanting】, since many people still rely on the guidance of incantations when weaving, unless it is a spell they are particularly familiar with."

Luo Yue nodded repeatedly, once again experiencing the extraordinary power of liquid magic.

Unfortunately, the pretty teacher insisted that it was just an illusion...

As for her hope that it was just a misperception, that is, the feeling that something was off about Austen, she gave an unexpected answer:

"This means you are about to awaken your [mystical intuition]. Most of what I teach you is related to mysticism. If you study these things every day, you may awaken this unique ability of mysticism ahead of time."

This suggests that you might be better suited to the path of the occult than a sorcerer... Of course, you should also be wary of that friend.

"Huh? This..."

Luo Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a pang of sadness.

He remembered that Celishina had repeatedly emphasized that mystical intuition, as a core skill, was extremely accurate, and that one must always trust this intuition.

That means there really is something wrong with Uncle Hugo and Austen...

He would rather believe it was an illusion than have anything happen to these two elders and friends who had been so good to him.

"If I still decide to become a sorcerer, will I retain my occult intuition?"

"No, when you advance to the second tier as a mage, it means you have chosen this path, and your intuition will disappear."

"I understand, I'll think about it some more."

As Luo Yue spoke, he ended his meditation session, sat up from the bed, quickly washed up, and returned to his workspace to continue meditating.

Just then, the guy from the mental hospital woke up and was looking around in a daze, so we took him to the bubble tea shop, where Celisina introduced us.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Don Quixote. You may call me 'The Diviner,' and he is 'The Attendant.'"

"Wait a minute! Isn't this a bit unfair? You recognized me at a glance, but I don't even know your names?"

As the engineer spoke, he waved all four arms together, displaying a kind of resentment that comes from being "opened up."

Who told you to get four arms? It's like you're registering your real name online.

Luo Yue chuckled inwardly, gestured for him to sit down, and then gave him a brief introduction to the place and the governor's character.
