Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui was stunned.

He looked at the little girl huddled in the large monk's robe, speaking softly, and for a moment he couldn't quite grasp what was going on.

"You are the creator of the art of flower creation?"

Lillian nodded.

Then, as if a switch had been flipped, she started counting her fingers one by one.

"That's not all."

"I am also the creator of the Armor-Growing Technique."

"There's also whistling, hair color-changing, reverse gravity (only effective on feathers), levitation (only effective on paper), echo (only effective in empty rooms)..."

She counted while carefully pointing with her fingers.

"There's also magic that can turn leaves green again, magic that can briefly warm stones, magic that can lengthen shadows by a foot..."

Lin Gui's lips began to twitch.

Lillian counted at least forty-nine elementary and intermediate spells.

Each name sounds so outrageous that it makes you question the meaning of life.

In the end, this timid and shrinking girl even slightly raised her chin, her tone filled with an undisguised pride.

"All of these were created by me."

Lin Gui remained silent for a long time.

Then he stared at her and spoke very seriously.

"Can you please stop creating magic?"

Lillian tilted her head in confusion.

Why?

Lin Gui gave a helpless smile.

But in my heart, I was silently screaming.

Because I fucking don't want you polluting my gacha pool anymore.

All those bizarre, basic spells that you draw in the game of love originate from you.

The art of growing flowers, the art of growing nails, the art of whistling?

He was puzzled at the time as to why there were so many bizarre, basic spells.

As a transitional skill for mages, Lin Gui remembered that there weren't many basic spells available.

There seem to be only about fifty primary magic spells in the entire system.

result.......

He'd been using basic magic for so long, but it still wasn't empty.

And a bunch of bizarre spells that aren't even recorded in the Elementary Magic Encyclopedia keep popping up...

All my feelings are for Lillian; she's just providing the system with a constant stream of useless junk.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions surging within him.

He changed the subject and addressed Lillian's initial question.

"The construction of basic magic is very simple."

"Creating the art of flower making is not difficult."

"It might just be a coincidence—"

He stared at Lillian, forcing himself to continue.

"There's another one in the world... an equally bizarre individual who researched and created this magic."

When he said the word "weirdo," he paused subtly.

Lillian's eyes lit up.

She leaned forward slightly, her curiosity largely masking the timidity in her voice.

With a touch of excitement at finding someone like her, she asked excitedly.

"Are you that weirdo?"

Lin Gui denied it seriously.

"no."

"I will never waste my time on this bizarre magic, not even until I die."

Lillian blinked.

"That--"

Why do you know flower arranging techniques?

"Is it still at the level of casting a spell with a snap of the fingers?"

"I can't do that."

Lin Gui opened his mouth.

Then it closed again.

Then silence fell.

I'm speechless at the people who research and create these bizarre magics.

However, it cannot be denied that, due to the system, he, like Lillian, has mastered a bunch of bizarre magic.

The only difference is that one is passive and the other is voluntary.

Faced with Lillian's retort, Lin Gui was speechless.

It is a closed loop.

Seeing his discomfitured expression, Lillian pushed up her round-framed glasses and added insult to injury.

"You still—"

She pointed to the newly printed rubbing in Lin Gui's hand.

"Come learn astigmatism correction."

"This is a more useless spell than the Flower-Generating Technique."

"Its only purpose is to blind people."

She lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of frustration in her voice, and pointed to her large glasses.

"It blinded me."

"Even Mr. Carter couldn't do anything about it, saying it wasn't an illness."

"I even used up my membership fee to get a pair of glasses from Mr. Dwarf."

"I should have known better than to learn this magic."

She grieved for a moment, then her eyes lit up again as she stared at Lin Gui.

His eyes were full of curiosity and a desire to explore.

"So, why do you want this magic?"

Lin Gui: "..."

He could roughly understand why White thought that learning astigmatism correction would attract the girl's attention...

They realized that if things continued like this, it would never end.

This seemingly timid and cowardly little girl transforms completely once a topic interests her.

He quickly pulled a bag of coins from his pocket and placed it on the table with a dull thud.

"Thank you for copying."

"goodbye."

Then he turned and left.

He had barely stepped out of the used bookstore when he stopped again.

Lin Gui turned around, under Dick's questioning gaze.

He walked quickly back to his desk and carefully put the quill pen, ink, and blank parchment he had just used for tracing into his pocket.

"Sorry, I forgot something."

He smiled, then left the bookstore without looking back.

It's puzzling that someone who can afford to spend so much money would care about an item that's worth less than a single gold coin.

But Dick breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched Lin Gui leave so quickly.

The other party's actions were definitely not aimed at his goddess.

It was purely for a piece of trash magic.

He turned his head, wanting to say something to Lillian.

But the chair by the window was empty.

The book was still lying open on the table, a corner of a page that was half-open being gently lifted by the wind.

But the person is no longer here.

Dick stood still, unsurprised.

Anyone who has met Lillian and knows her would not be surprised by this.

That's what she is.

They vanished without a trace without anyone noticing.

Even magical tracking couldn't find her.

Some students have tried to use tracking magic to "capture" her whereabouts.

But the result was the same every time.

When the tracking spell pointed to her location, it found that there was no one there.

Like a shadow, you think you've caught it, but when you close your hand, there's nothing there.

She disappeared without a trace, as if she had evaporated directly from the perception of magic.

This has always been one of the biggest mysteries of the Elemental Heart.
