Magic!

Chapter 70 68. New functions of mobile magic weapons

"Look. I guessed it right." Russell looked at Bai, pointed at the emerald cat, and then spread his hands innocently, "Let me make it clear first, the lightning spell I used has no effect on making people refute."

The jade cat thought of something and took out the dark gloves:

"It's not a side effect of this glove! After using the Black Devil Glove, you won't be subject to random curses. I didn't use it just now, and I wasn't affected by its curse."

It turned out to be a random curse effect, but this time it was an "ironym curse"... Russell understood what the Emerald Cat meant as soon as he heard it, used his logical thinking to find loopholes in the item's magic, and gave suggestions:

"Miss Emerald Cat, before the side effects end, why don't you try interrogative and imperative sentences instead of declarative sentences. See if there will be any effect?

"Or try double negatives again?"

As the number one magic genius in the academy, Russell has always had a spirit of inquiry!

The Emerald Cat stared at Russell in front of him, remembering that he was the culprit who caused her to use this extraordinary item, she became angry, stretched out her finger, and pointed at Russell fiercely:

"Remember, I will let you go in the future! Come back to me now!"

It turns out that even imperative sentences become ironies. Russell concluded, turned around and left with satisfaction.

Before leaving, he dropped another kind suggestion:

"Miss Emerald Cat, if you have a way to control the curse you receive, you can get another irony curse, and the two irony curses will cancel each other out."

Jade Cat obviously felt Russell's kindness, and her cursed praise came from behind:

"You are such a kind person, don't think that I don't know that you want to help me. I love you and Clara to death, and I will listen to whatever you say."

When Russell walked away under the adoring eyes of many students, his thoughts diverged:

Today's battle will soon spread in the junior college. I can use the White Wolf Club and my complete fallout as an excuse to join the association behind Nocturne.

Suddenly, a voice came from Russell's heart.

"Russell, come to my private office at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening."

This is the ability of psychic communication!

Russell suddenly turned his head and saw Professor Opal looking at him, half-smiling.

…

In the cafeteria, Russell ordered a pretty good meal to celebrate his victory.

Suddenly, he felt the cell phone in his pocket vibrate, so he took it out.

Now, there is an extra rope at the end of Russell's phone, connecting his pants. This is Russell's invention just now, so that others can't take away his magic weapon!

Russell feels that the entire magic world should implement this practice of its own and learn to tie magic wands, staffs, crystal balls and other magic weapons to their bodies to prevent them from being stolen or disarmed!

I only saw a line of text listed on the phone.

[After the battle just now, you discovered the first function of the mobile phone magic weapon! 】

The cell phone represents Russell's spirituality and subconscious, which represents the messages found in his subconscious.

Before Russell could check further, he heard:

"Classmate, the set meal you ordered also includes a drink."

The cafeteria lady came over dragging a tray.

Her name is Martha, she is a new cafeteria employee this year with blond hair. A little chubby, but looks very amiable.

Martha asked with a smile:

"Coffee or tea?" (Note 1)

Russell felt that coffee was too bitter unless a lot of sugar was added. He hesitated and said:

"Tea."

"Wrong guess, the package comes with coffee!" Aunt Martha laughed and poured Russell a cup of coffee.

Russell ignored it and continued to stare at the new words that popped up on the phone screen.

[The photos taken through the soul-taking technique contain a few fragments of the soul of the original body. Each photo can release a supernatural ability of the corresponding character once, and the photo disappears after use. 】

[In this way, the first-year extraordinary ability can be released, and about 70 to 80% of the original power can be retained; the second-year extraordinary ability can retain about half of the power. When using photos to release extraordinary abilities, what is still consumed is the owner’s spiritual energy. 】

[Currently, up to 5 soul-capturing photos can be stored in the mobile phone, but only for those with extraordinary power at the first and second grade levels. 】

The legendary ability to copy and paste?

Russell was quite pleasantly surprised and quickly checked the two photos just taken today. The two corresponding photos in the mobile phone album already have different annotations.

The annotation for the photo of the emerald cat is [Fireball], and the photo of the wolf spider corresponds to [Shrinking Technique]. In previous battles, Wolf Spider had not displayed this spell.

However, the so-called shrinking technique is to recite the incantation of the enlargement technique backwards, so it is not surprising that the wolf spider can do it.

"Will stealing soul fragments by taking photos have any long-term impact on the victim?" Russell asked again about the mobile phone, which was his subconscious mind.

【Generally not. The souls of extraordinary beings are also tough and have strong self-healing abilities. If the soul loses even a crumb, it will soon be restored. 】

Russell felt relieved, which meant that he could borrow their abilities by taking photos of people he knew well.

As if sensing what Russell was thinking, new information was displayed on the phone.

[If you are actively being photographed, there is a way to choose which of your extraordinary abilities will be copied. As long as the character in your photo is releasing the corresponding extraordinary ability. 】

The Emerald Cat was photographed by himself while condensing the fireball, and the one he stole was the fireball. When the Wolf Spider was photographed, he was not in the process of casting a spell, so one was randomly selected? Russell roughly deduced.

"The first ability of the mobile phone magic weapon is related to the camera function. It seems that its mystical effect is closely related to the function of the mobile phone itself. In addition, what other special abilities will it have?" Russell thought.

In the future, as he goes further and further on the path of occultism and witchcraft, will he be able to awaken the new functions of the mobile magic weapon?

In addition to the camera function, mobile phones also have the most basic communication functions, as well as information storage, search engines, question and answer AI, online forums, chatting and dating, online shopping platforms, music playback, payment tools and other functions.

Russell felt that his mind was open, and it seemed that the fire of a revolution that would subvert the magical world had begun to spark!

He picked up the coffee and took a sip.

so bitter!

Russell frowned fiercely.

He suddenly turned his head and saw that the culprit, the canteen aunt Martha, had already turned and left.

He actually made me drink such bitter coffee, such a vicious and despicable trick, he must be the villain boss! Russell complained silently in his heart.

…

Afternoon.

Blossoming white clouds, like delicious marshmallows, are dotted on the blue tablecloth.

Russell and Clara divided the 20 college gold coins.

"Half for you, half for me."

Russell took out 10 gold coins and put them into the dimensional bag, and threw the gold coin bag to Clara.

"No, no, Russell, if it weren't for your command and encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to fight. I shouldn't have taken these college gold coins. They all belong to you."

Clara wrapped the bag of gold coins around her tentacles and returned it to Russell.

"Then you can take 9 gold coins." Russell bargained.

"I'll take 1 gold coin, that's enough." Clara bargained.

"8 gold coins."

"2 gold coins."

"7 gold coins."

"3 gold coins."

"6 gold coins."

"4 gold coins."

"5 gold coins."

"Uh..." Clara fell into a daze.

After some haggling, Clara's contribution to the battle was finally settled for 5 gold coins, and Russell took away the other 15 gold coins.

"By the way, Clara, before I leave, I want to ask you for a favor."

Russell took out his cell phone,

He wants to copy Clara's "suggestion" spell.

Among the several first-grade spells that Clara mastered, the functions of "Immobilize", "Psychic Flay" and "Psychomancer" have some overlap, "Charm" is not suitable for indiscriminate use, and "Suggestion" has a wide range of applications.

A few minutes later, when Russell and Clara parted ways, there was another photo of the tentacle monster on the phone.

…

The setting sun fell from the sky like a ripe tomato, hitting the horizon, splashing out a liquid called red clouds, dyeing the cafe on the edge of the junior high school red.

In the cafe, Russell looked at the nocturne at the opposite table with a frightened look on his face and said sincerely:

"Nocturne, only you and the association behind you can help me this time!

"Bai threatened me that after my one-year freshman protection period is over, there are a hundred ways to kill me. And it seems that he may not be able to wait that long before he takes action. Please let me join what you said before Association?"

Russell defeated the outstanding senior students as a freshman in the magic showdown. This matter is fermenting in the college forum, and even many second-year students have shown interest in it.

But there are also many people who are worried that Russell and the White Wolf Club have completely become enemies, which may lead to retaliation in the future.

Across the table from Russell, Nocturne was wearing a black dress with bangs covering the upper half of her face. She still maintained a cold and gloomy temperament and just listened silently.

It wasn't until Russell finished speaking that she said quietly:

"It seems like you really crave power now?"

"Yes." Russell nodded vigorously, "The association you mentioned can make me stronger, right?"

"We can indeed allow you to contact the power of higher dimensions." Nocturne's voice was low and terrifying, "It's just that you need to make some changes from today on."

"What changed?" Russell asked.
