Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Taking a deep breath, I calmed the emotional fluctuations in my heart.

Patchouli finally got to the main topic:

"In short, I now have some clues about the origin of your magic..."

......

......

"Not damaged, but dormant?"

"Yes."

Patchouli explained her views in general terms.

Chu Bai's magical origin was not actually in the damaged state he thought it was, but rather in a state similar to dormancy.

Although this analogy is a bit unflattering, after all, the origin of magic is not a living thing. But as the literal meaning suggests, Chu Bai's origin is indeed like entering a state of sleep, and all kinds of performance are compressed to the extreme.

"In the battle just now, I also fully investigated."

"There is nothing wrong with your magic circuits; rather, they are surprisingly smooth. As for your origin, I can also feel some fluctuations, rather than the deathly stillness of a damaged state."

Patchouli thought for a moment:

"To give another appropriate analogy, if the origin of magic is damaged, it is like a dead person who has completely run out of breath."

"Then your current state of origin is similar to a vegetative person in a hospital bed. Although the situation is equally serious, there is still a possibility of recovery."

Hearing that he could recover, Chu Bai's eyes lit up immediately:

"In other words, I do have the possibility of regaining my strength?"

"Yes, although these are just my speculations, this should be the truth."

Patchouli sighed:

"After all, if it was completely damaged, you wouldn't be able to be so lively like you are now."

"Then what can I do to awaken my magical origin?"

"Awaken... well, let's just call it that for now..."

Patchouli searched her mind for relevant knowledge.

With the title of Walking Great Library, the amount of knowledge in her mind was obviously more than Chu Bai's.

After all, Chu Bai was still too young. In terms of theoretical knowledge alone, he was indeed inferior to Patchouli, who was over a hundred years old.

"The steps to awaken the origin of magic are quite complicated."

"Because the origin of a magician is itself a concrete manifestation of the Seven Luminaries Laws."

"If you want to re-awaken it, you should need to collect seven Seven Luminaries Treasures containing different attributes, and then extract and refine the power from the treasures through the 'Elemental Mysteries' to baptize your origin."

"If you repeatedly baptize it like this, your origin should be able to recover somewhat."

"...Should?" Chu Bai keenly noticed this word.

Patchouli nodded: "Yes, after all, I have no practical experience, these are just theoretical knowledge."

"But this is indeed the only way at present. And even if it fails, there will be no worse situation than now, right?"

"Sure."

Chu Bai nodded:

"In other words, as long as I find the so-called 'Seven Luminaries Treasures', I can perform the Elemental Mysteries and try to recover my strength."

"But I actually encountered the classic old routine of running around picking up trash. If this plot is put in a novel, I'm afraid it will take at least hundreds of chapters to find all the treasures, right?"

"...I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

Patchouli said lightly:

"In short, the Seven Luminaries Treasures respectively symbolize the power of the seven elements of Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth."

"The treasures themselves are not fixed. As long as they contain sufficient Seven Luminaries power, they can be used."

"...Huh? It doesn't restrict fixed treasures?"

Speaking of which, Chu Bai suddenly thought of something.

He quickly took out a pendant, which was inlaid with a shining ruby:

"See if this thing meets the conditions?"

"Oh?"

Patchouli took the pendant and examined it carefully. After a while, she nodded immediately:

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be 'Flame Thorns', a very rare gem in the magic world."

"It itself contains a wealth of Fire Luminaries power, and can indeed serve as the position of 'Fire Luminaries Treasure'."

"In this case, you only need to consider the remaining six treasures."

It actually works.

Chu Bai still remembered that this was a gift Kaguya had given him before, which could speed up the understanding of the Fire Luminaries Law after wearing it.

If this level of pendant can be regarded as a Seven Luminaries Treasure...

Then he doesn't seem to need to look for things everywhere?

So, in Patchouli's shocked gaze.

Chu Bai happily took out one glittering treasure after another:

"Um, Patchi, why don't you take a look at these again?"

"If even that string of pendants can be regarded as treasures... then I seem to have collected everything?"

Chapter 45: Flandre Approaching Quietly

"???"

Looking at the various props in front of her.

Patchouli was stunned:

"How did you collect so many treasures?"

Chu Bai smiled:

"To tell you the truth, I spent a long time hunting in the outside world, barely saving some money."

"Now that it can be used, I certainly won't be stingy."

Patchouli gave a suspicious look:

"The hunting you mentioned, wouldn't it be killing people everywhere to seize treasures?"

"Yes, but only killing black cultists."

Chu Bai had no psychological burden:

"Speaking of the days of hunting black cultists, that's also quite nostalgic."

"That's simply magic cannon heaven, screams ringing out, white flags waving, mountains of corpses and seas of blood... almost dozens of people died in my hands!"

Listening to Chu Bai's glorious resume, Patchouli was a little helpless:

"Seeing that you said it so exaggeratedly, I thought you launched a large-scale war, but it was just killing dozens of people."

"Even I have been stained with hundreds of lives, don't show off this achievement."

Chu Bai quickly nodded obediently:

"You are right, killing dozens of people every day is really nothing, it seems that I need to be more humble."

"???"

Patchouli almost choked on her black tea:

"Are you talking about the daily indicator?"

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"...No, let's get back to the topic."

......

......

Turning her attention to the props Chu Bai took out.

Patchouli conducted a preliminary exploration of them.

To be honest, there are indeed many expensive treasures among them, and they happen to meet the conditions of the Seven Luminaries Treasures.

"This is a psychic wood, taken from a cliff under the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and has the function of carrying souls."

"This is Elusive Quicksand, which I accidentally obtained in a large quicksand area on the Arabian Peninsula, and can feel the strong power of the Earth element."

Introducing the two most precious treasures on the table, Chu Bai said somewhat proudly:

"How about it, can these two props be used?"

"These two are fine, enough to be used as 'Wood Luminaries Treasure' and 'Earth Luminaries Treasure'."

Patchouli silently pointed to the side:

"But can you explain the other things?"

"No problem."

Chu Bai happily picked up something:

"This is called Little Sun(小太阳: Little Sun, a brand name for a small electric heater), its function is to increase the temperature and provide heating, it is a very popular appliance recently..."

"Of course I know this is Little Sun!"

Patchouli couldn't help but complain:

"Why do you think this thing is also a treasure!"

"Eh? Isn't it? Look at its name and the temperature when heating, doesn't it conform to the characteristics of 'Sun Luminaries Treasure'?"

"It doesn't conform at all! Apart from the function of heating, where does this thing have anything to do with the Sun Luminaries Law!"

She took another bottle next to her:

"And what is this thing? Blue Moon(蓝月亮: Blue Moon, a brand name) Laundry Detergent?"

"That's right."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"Just by the name, you know that this must be the incarnation of the 'Moon Luminaries Treasure', which can assist in repairing my magical origin..."

"This is even more outrageous than Little Sun!"

Patchouli slapped her forehead:

"At least Little Sun can provide heating, your Blue Moon Laundry Detergent has nothing to do with the real moon!"

"Oh, Patchi, don't complain so loudly..."

"Who do you think is to blame! There are no other complainers nearby, it is very uncomfortable to hold these words in my heart!"

Chu Bai laughed twice:

"Since Little Sun and Blue Moon Laundry Detergent are rejected, then this imitation gold necklace of mine shouldn't be considered a 'Metal Luminaries Treasure', right?"

"Of course not! And this is not even real gold!"

Seeing that Chu Bai seemed to have no understanding of the Seven Luminaries Treasures at all.

Patchouli directly asked Little Devil to bring the blackboard, held the chalk, and popularized the concept of treasures to Chu Bai.

Only extraordinary items containing the Seven Luminaries Laws, and meeting many strict restrictions, can be called Seven Luminaries Treasures.

Things like Little Sun and Blue Moon Laundry Detergent obviously cannot play a role.
