Lost Narrative Poetry

"Then let's talk about the business now. What is your second magic like? Show me its power... As for how it came from, I won't ask."

After finally getting over that troublesome problem, the monster girl who was pretending to be soft and not allowing others to pretend to be soft asked with a smile and seemed to be in a good mood——

"If, as you said, this is magic that can observe countless parallel worlds, and interact with and interfere with them at will, then it has definitely reached the level of the principles of this world."

"..."

"..."

"...I haven't mastered this magic yet, and it's not mine. I can't show it now." Xia Ran rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache.

This big monster definitely said this on purpose. If he had already mastered the second magic and could show it casually, then why would he need to ask her for advice?

But at this time, he finally felt relieved. It seemed that the doubts and entanglements in his heart were solved, so he felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground... After all, before this, he was not sure about Yakumo Murasaki. Why did he come here to kill you?

Is it really because I almost used her age as an example in the morning? Thinking about it, he knew that this kind of thing was impossible, so he was somewhat cautious before he was really sure of the other party's intention.

Now that he was sure that the other party was interested in the so-called second magic because of the information he had revealed before, and came to find out, he naturally felt relieved.

After all, the unknown is what scares people. If you still don’t know the purpose of Yakumo Purple’s visit, you don’t know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd, and you’re not sure whether she comes for a specific thing or for yourself, Then he is really not at ease at all.

"Tch! It's really useless..."

Yakumo Purple curled her lips again, then looked around, and unceremoniously sat down gracefully and dignifiedly on a chair next to her, which was the seat Arturia used last night.

"So, what is the specific technique? Tell me the specific principles and key points involved, and I can help you with the details..."

She said this, and after calming down her expression, she looked serious and serious——

"But don't have high hopes. Although I am indeed very interested, you should know that my mastery of space dimensions is not an acquired skill, but comes from my own talent... it It is neither magic nor sorcery, and this phenomenon is difficult to reproduce through acquired spells.”

"Of course I know this. Aren't most of the so-called spells originally used to make tricks? Pure power itself should be able to be used and shaped at will, without any fixed form, nor should it have any fixed effect. It can only be used In certain aspects..."

Xia Ran nodded seriously, knowing this very well, so he also knew that what Yakumo Zi said was not an excuse.

"People think that all kinds of magic spells are magical, but they don't know that they are just a set of tools created by people without talent who try their best to be able to do the same thing..."

Techniques are just tools, basically techniques created by "people without talent to catch up with talented people."

To give the simplest example, it is like the emergence of the high-level magic of inherent barrier——

This magic, which is closest to magic, has been listed in the list of forbidden spells by the Magic Association in the world of Fate. It is a subtype of fantasy manifestation, a barrier that shapes the mental world of the caster and erodes the real world.

However, originally this ability is not magic, but an ability that can only be used by elves and demons. To put it simply, it is the unique racial talent of fantasy species, just like fish can breathe in the water, and humans can Just like soaring in the sky, humans cannot do it because of their different physiological structures. Their innate nature determines that this is not possible.

However, just because there is no way to do such a thing directly does not mean that there is no way to achieve the same goal through indirect means. Therefore, humans have created oxygen bottles, aircraft, and used tools to achieve things that they themselves cannot do... …

After many years of magic that can create a personal mental world, some advanced magicians have made it possible to create inherent barriers. After that, only naturally extended elves can change the world.

But I have said so much, not to praise anything, but to explain a basic reality, that is, things like magic are basically created by "people without talent, in order to catch up with talented people" technology.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. People who work hard and rely on themselves to reach Rome are certainly inspirational, but from another perspective, it is that people who have gone through countless hard work are finally qualified to be with those who were born in Rome. People have done the same thing...

Xia Ran silently boiled this knowledge into a mature poisonous chicken soup in her heart, planning to find an appropriate occasion to release it at some time, and educate young people with sincere words about the cruelty of reality.

"Huh?"

Yakumo Purple was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with admiration: "I didn't expect you to have such an understanding at this time... It's not bad. It will save you a lot of detours in the future. For I have a correct positioning.”

Xia Ran nodded. He had never felt that magic techniques were so noble. They just belonged to another path.

"Now that you are clear about this issue, the subsequent communication will be much easier... I don't want to waste time explaining these things to you, so let's just talk about it."

Yakumo Purple put down her fan and said seriously.

"This matter is still difficult, but it is not without any hope. As long as they are similar phenomena, the principles have more or less something in common. If you trace them back to the original cause, you will find that they have the same origin. …”

"You're not a realm demon, so you can't use the gaps I control, and you can't interfere with the realm. But this is just the reason why you can't do such a thing at the moment, and it's not the result that determines that you can't do such a thing in the future..."

——She is very candid.

Xia Ran sighed: "I know, I know. Theoretically speaking, as long as I am strong enough and close to the source, then I can do anything. These restrictions are not restrictions... and I am indeed moving forward towards this goal."

"That's what I mean, but actually you don't have to worry too much. You're off to a very good start. Even if you haven't learned the second magic, you've at least mastered its basic techniques, right?"

The monster girl comforted her casually, then stared at Xia Ran with bright eyes: "So what are the basic techniques?"

——Even if you haven’t learned to use formulas to answer questions, at least you have memorized the formula itself, right?

"..."

"..."

"I don't have this either..." Xia Ran was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice.

"Is that so..." the monster girl frowned, "Then what kind of thing have you mastered? Take it out and take a look first."

"Currently, I have mastered a sword skill that can interfere with limited parallel worlds... Huh? Wait, aren't you angry?" Xia Ran was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the monster girl in front of him. This reaction was different from his own. Not quite what I expected.

Shouldn't Yakumo Purple immediately frown and ask with a gloomy look if he was joking with her, was he playing tricks on her or something?

"Why should I be angry? Isn't this your business? And the increased difficulty is also for you..." Yakumo Zi looked at him strangely. This question was really inexplicable.

Xia Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, then stood up, stretched out his hand, and a rusty and ugly magic knife appeared.

"What do you want to do?" The monster girl was a little wary. She seemed to shrink back and distanced herself from him. She warned in a stern tone, "I'm warning you not to mess around. If you come one step closer, I'll call someone." Already..."

Frankly speaking, this kind of performance will not scare people with evil intentions, but will only further arouse the desires deep in their hearts - of course, the premise is that Xia Ran is the kind of gangster who does not know whether to live or die.

He was not at all seduced by the evil taste of the monster girl. If he could step on such obvious traps, he would not need to add any intelligence in the future, and decisively change his job to become a reckless man in close combat.

"This sword skill... is like this, keep an eye on it."

The magician took a deep breath. The next moment, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he swung his knife without any warning!

In just an instant, the space seemed to be torn apart, and while it was shattered, a sword light from another dimension bloomed... Simple and beautiful, but also extremely deadly.

Challenge the magic sword of gods and Buddhas as a mortal...

From one dimension, attack to another dimension...

No defense or evasion is allowed. Once locked, you will be killed...

——Yan Hui.

It is said that this technique was developed for the purpose of cutting down swallows. It flashes from the real world, and then double flashes completely simultaneously regardless of the concepts of time and space, resulting in slashing attacks from three directions.

To put it simply, there is only one attack that Xia Ran actually wielded in the real world.

The other two swords that overlap at the same time are the result of the phenomenon of multi-dimensional twists and turns, and are slashes from other dimensions... But in theory, these slashes will not come out of nowhere. Since they are sword paths that embody multiple dimensions, they It shows that such a sword path exists in another dimension.

So, who would specifically attack this dimension from another unknown dimension just to support him?

Theoretically speaking, there is probably only... "him" himself in the parallel world.

This is--

Although there are limitations, it has reached the high realm of "Second Magic".
