Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 242 Refinement
Sylvia put together the three items summoned from the world of Atlanta, spread firewood underneath, poured some oil on top, found an empty glass bottle, and lit the pile of firewood with a lighter .

As the flames burned, the three items all revealed a faint arcane light.

"You see, all the items from the world of Atlanta contain magic. Once the items are damaged, the magic energy inside will be volatilized. If left unattended, they will fall into our world. Due to the amount of Too little will wear off quickly, but with enough skill—"

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and took off the pendant around her neck. Holding the pendant in one hand, she pointed at the three items while holding the bottle in the other. Sylvia closed her eyes, and a huge magic circle Emerging on the ground around the burning pyre, under Sylvia's control, those blue arcane rays of light separated from the three items like wisps of smoke, flying towards the bottle in her hand Go, gradually condensed in the bottle, and soon there were a few drops of strange liquid emitting bright blue light in the originally empty bottle.

After a while, Sylvia stopped until there was no more trace of blue smoke. Those few items had completely lost all their luster, and they looked like they had completely become ordinary things. burning.

But in the bottle in her hand, there were a few more drops of blue liquid.

Sylvia closed the lid, looked at the liquid in the bottle with fascination and eager eyes, and nodded with satisfaction, "These should be enough for me to use for a few days."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of mineral water, impatiently poured a drop of blue liquid into it, and drank it in one gulp.

The blue arcane light shone on her body, her body began to change, her thighs became slender, her hair grew sideways, from dark brown to dazzling fiery red, and soon, Sylvia returned to her original appearance.

Everything seemed to be back to normal, but there seemed to be something different. Sylvia looked at the empty bottle in her hand, and vaguely felt that the emptiness and hunger in her heart had not been filled. She desperately wanted more .

Not good!She thought in her heart that she has always controlled the intake of the arcane essence very sparingly, but for some reason, the arcane essence that could have fully satisfied her is now barely able to bear it.

"So this is your secret, your so-called advanced magic," Xing Tianyu asked in disbelief. Fortunately, he was still yearning for Sylvia's magic before, but he didn't expect this to be a drug addiction.

Sylvia came back to her senses and raised her eyebrows, "Of course, otherwise, what do you think, do you want me to say a few spells and make some gestures? Magic is energy. As long as you have energy, you can do anything. You can’t do anything without energy, it’s as simple as that.”

"That's why you are so eager to take back the Book of Otherworlds."

"That's right, I have to use the Book of Other Worlds to supplement the original arcane liquid. Next, I need to collect as much of this liquid as possible. Last time the Book of Other Worlds was stolen, I had too little in reserve, otherwise it would be too much." Don’t act in such a haste, this time I will save a few boxes of it, preferably enough for my lifetime.”

"If you don't have the arcane essence, you must feel very uncomfortable." Xing Tianyu suddenly asked pointedly.

Sylvia was taken aback for a moment, her face was a little ugly, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I used magic, I once ate an apple summoned from the world of Atlanta, which gave me magic, but when I used up that magic, I felt a strong sense of emptiness and loss , and I only absorbed a little bit of magic at that time, considering the half bottle of magic potion you drank yesterday—"

Xing Tianyu didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already obvious, but Sylvia sighed, "You are right, arcane energy is a kind of magical magical energy, it can do anything, but it also means That said, once you lose it, you lose everything, and the arcane energy is volatile, even if I don’t do anything, it will still be lost gradually, so I have to keep replenishing, but fortunately, now I have abnormal The Book of the World, I will protect it like my life."

"Haven't you considered getting rid of this—symptom?"

"Of course I have considered it, but it is difficult, because arcane energy is not a curse or a disease, it acts on the soul, and to restore the soul, only God can do it, and even if there is a chance to repair it , I very much doubt that I will give up arcane magic, because it is so easy to use, I have everything with it, and if I lose it, even if I don’t suffer from the addiction symptoms, I will feel Life is loveless.

So if I summon the Djinn in the future, I will let it give me endless arcane energy, which will solve all problems. "

In the next few days, Xing Tianyu helped Sylvia summon and refine a lot of arcane liquid, and Sylvia half-jokingly invited him to use it together, but Xing Tianyu finally refused after thinking about it, although Arcane magic is indeed powerful and practical, but Xing Tianyu doesn't want to become an addict. He has deeply experienced the strong sense of emptiness once the magic is exhausted.

After accumulating half a bottle of arcane liquid, Sylvia finally calmed down and stopped refining the arcane liquid. On the one hand, the arcane liquid in her hand was enough for her to use for a while, on the other hand The reason is that the two encountered several accidents during the summoning. Although they did not cause any permanent damage, they also caused a lot of shock. During the day, the two wandered around.

"Speaking of which, why do you live in such a remote place?" Sylvia asked curiously while walking on the broken path.

"My family was not like this in the past. It was still a village at that time, but later, due to some reasons, most of the people in the village moved away. Originally, our family was about to move too, but unfortunately—" the two said, But when he came to a hillside, Xing Tianyu looked around. The surroundings of the village had already changed, and the surroundings had completely changed. The lush cornfields and sweet potato fields were all replaced by apple trees. replaced by

Since it was not a busy farming season, there was almost no one around, and the scattered households that were originally located on the hillside all disappeared.

However, there are still some things that haven't changed much, for example, the mountain he once climbed, the orchard where he stole the fruit, and - an old locust tree that is dying.
