Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

“So that’s it, that’s what plasticity means.”

Alka, who has been obsessed with the changes in the [Mirror] spell, finally found out where the spell had changed.

"Did you find out where your spell became stronger?" Lucilia emerged from the mirror and asked.

Alka nodded.

"I discovered it. I never thought about it in this direction before. As expected, I still have too little understanding of mantras."

The so-called enhancement of the plasticity of the [Mirror] spell turns out to be the spell itself.

The Mirror Spell is a rectangular square with an elongated I inside.

The word "Gong" inside can be taken out, and other mantras can be carved into it to make it fused.

He had never thought that this spell could be changed like this before.

Can it be combined and fused? Directly modular.

After all, the style of the spell itself cannot be changed. Once it is changed, it has become another spell, and the effect will also change.

For example, the type they are using now is more inclined to daily or ordinary spells.

It is derived from the simplification and weakening of higher-level incantations.

Alka, who didn't know much about mantras, simply didn't have the ability to weaken and simplify the original mantras.

Naturally, I didn't think about it.

In the end, I had no choice but to think of this, but I was forced to do so due to lack of ability.

After studying a lot with Gami these past few days, I was finally able to take out the word "I" from the [Mirror] mantra and carve a new mantra inside.

Alka tried.

The three very good spells used by Jack cannot be depicted and cannot be carried.

A simple one such as [Sound Bird] can be engraved into it. This is also Alka's first successfully fused spell.

But the only regret is that the changing spell cannot be drawn in the air and must be printed on other materials in order for it to work.

Drawing in the air is like drawing randomly, and the spell fails, making it have no effect.

As for the reason for this, Alka doesn't know.

Looking at the pale white card in his hand.

The back of the card is pale white, and the front uses black lines to outline a small square.

The spell pattern hidden inside is a rectangular box with three vertical lines of different lengths but neatly arranged in the middle.

Lucilia's eyes widened next to her, with curiosity on her face.

Alka instilled a touch of magic into the card, activating it.

Release the card.

The spiral card fell to the floor, and with a burst of transparent light, a tall mirror emerged from beneath his feet.

This mirror was obviously different from the previous ones from the moment it appeared.

Ordinary mirrors are made to be smooth, without any decorative patterns, and are just a very ordinary and basic mirror surface.

The edge of the mirror that appears now has blue rune lines that look like flying birds, and there are also vines drawn underneath.

And this mirror no longer reflects Alka's appearance.

What emerged inside was a little bird standing on a branch, and it didn't just stand there, but moved in the mirror, like a living thing.

It jumped twice on the branch, tilting its head and staring at Alka.

Alka waved to the mirror, then smiled and said: "My name is Alka."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

The mirror immediately twisted into a pile like a whirlwind and turned into a strange glare. As the glare disappeared, a little bird emerged.

Then he spread his wings and flew directly to the table, looking at Lucilia.

In front of Lucilia, it shattered like a mirror and turned into a card.

"What does it mean?"

Lucilia asked with some confusion as she watched Alka's movements throughout.

"You put a little bit of magic in it."

Hearing this, Lucilia nodded, stretched out her hand and clicked on the card.

Although she can't touch the card, the magic power will flow out and penetrate into the card.

Of course, this magic power is supported by Alka.

With a touch of magic.

The card immediately turned into a mirror, floating in the air.

Alka's appearance from before appeared in the mirror. Alka in the mirror waved her hand and said with a smile: "My name is Alka."

Seeing this picture, Lucilia looked a little surprised and asked: "Can the picture also be transmitted?"

Alka nodded.

"Putting the two spells together has the function of transmitting the picture as well, and the method of transmitting the message becomes an ordinary bird."

As for whether the bird made of lines is better or the ordinary bird, it is not clear.

I can only say that each has its own pros and cons.

And the transmission distance of this bird is the same as the distance that the [Sound Bird] spell can reach.

Therefore, whether the fused spell is powerful depends on the degree of mastery of the spell integrated into the frame.

Rather than the degree of mastery of the [Mirror] spell.

This is a limitation.

"There's more, there's more?"

Lucilia asked curiously from the side. She was a little curious about what other fusion spells would look like.

Hearing this, Alka's expression couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Haven't you had time to test it yet?" Seeing Alka's expression, Lucilia asked beside her.

She thought Alka had only experimented with this kind of fusion spell.

Alka shook his head: "That's not true."

Another card appeared in his hand. It was also a pale white card, but there was a water drop pattern in the black border on the card. It was no longer blank like the one just now.

"What spell is this fused with?" Lucilia asked curiously.

"spring."

It was the incantation that could gush out clear springs. Alka learned it mainly because he was afraid of running out of water.

Moreover, this mantra is simple and easy to learn, and does not require deliberate practice, as long as you learn to master it.

After integrating the magic power, another mirror appeared in front of the two of them, and this time the mirror did not reflect their appearance either.

In the mirror, what appeared was a scene of a clear spring in the mountains. A pool of spring water was in the middle, surrounded by mountain vegetation.

The clear spring water kept gushing out, flowing gurglingly around.

"Can I drink the spring water here?"

Lucilia looked at this scene and couldn't help but guess.

Alka shook his head, opened his mouth, and said awkwardly: "That's it."

"What's the meaning?"

"You can only look at it like this."

"..." Lucilia was slightly silent.

Then he asked cautiously: "In other words, just looking at this scenery, there is nothing special about it?"

Alka nodded.

"..."

Lucilia was completely silent.

Isn’t this completely useless ability? Can it still be integrated like this?

"Ahem!" Alka cleared his throat and explained from the side: "After all, it's impossible to always fuse everything that's useful. With so many ordinary spells, it's understandable that some waste will come out of it. .”

"The fusion of spells also depends on the degree of adaptation."

Lucilia nodded in agreement: "You're right, you can try other spells, just in case you get a powerful one."

"But you have to think carefully about it. After all, learning too many spells is not a good thing."

Alka nodded: "Don't worry, I have my heart in it."

After all, whether the fused ability is powerful or not depends on how well Alka masters the fused spell.

The more proficient he is at mastering the spells in the mirror frame, the better the effects of the fused spells will be.

So he had to make some trade-offs, and he had to think about whether such a fusion would be useful before merging.

It's best to find spells that obviously go well with mirrors. Of course, it's still essentially luck, like a lottery.

It's just that such a lottery has certain rules.

Maybe.

Thinking of this, Alka said: "Go to the library and see if there are any interesting spells."

"No problem, I'll give you a reference."

After saying that, the two of them opened the door and walked out.

"By the way, Lucilia, do you want to get to know everyone?"

It would be too lonely if you were only familiar with yourself.

"Ah? I...I...I need to prepare. It's too sudden. Let's wait until I'm mentally prepared."

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry and take your time, we have plenty of time."

"Well, thank you."

…

The ship moved slowly forward in the dark realm.

At this time, more than half a month had passed since they left the middle area.

Based on the characteristics and distance of some islands, they were about to reach the edge of the Dark Territory.

Reaching the edge is basically equivalent to leaving the realm of darkness.

There is no longer any fear of the invasion of darkness affecting the spirit at the edge. Although it is still dark here, the energy of darkness is minimal.

Alka is at the helm, learning under Andre's tutelage.

Andre looked at the chart in his hand.

At this time, the clouds broke and the faint moonlight fell, reflecting on the sea.

This shows that it is dark outside at this time, and the moon happens to be directly above them.

They had reached the edge, and were approaching the boundary between day and night, and the intermittent lights began to become more frequent.

The chart in Andre's hand was exactly what they had obtained before, the map marking the safe route.

They relied on the safe route above to return faster than when they left.

We didn't even meet a sea monster along the way.

"It seems that the route above can still be used. It is indeed convenient and fast."

Andre said, curling up the chart and handing it to Alka, who put it directly into the ring.

Alka, who was steering the ship, suddenly felt his left arm feel hot. He let go of the rudder and couldn't help but shake it.

"What's wrong?" Andre asked next to Alka's strange behavior.

Alka frowned and looked at his left arm.

At this time, his left arm was feeling hot for no apparent reason.

"Cang! Cang!"

At this time, a bell suddenly sounded from the observation deck, which meant that the members on guard had discovered something was wrong.

I saw Xia Detti sticking his head out and shouting loudly: "There is a fleet approaching us. In the darkness, we can't see their flag clearly. We don't know whether they are friends or foes!"

Upon hearing this, Andrew immediately walked up and jumped along the cable to the observation deck.

A monocular telescope appeared in his hand.

Turn on the telescope and look into the distance.

As the bell rang, all the main members of the ship came to the deck.

Hammer, who had been breathing fresh air on the deck, walked to Alka's side.

"What happened? It's too dark here, you can't see at all, and it's too unfriendly to ordinary people."

Alka took the helm and shook his head to express that he didn't know either.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky broke.

The faint moonlight shone.

The place where the light shines is diagonally in front of the ship, just lighting up the fleet heading towards them.

With the reflection of the moonlight.

Several huge ships were revealed, with black sails on them and pirate flags above them.

A sickle was inserted into the skull.

Seeing this scene, Alka's eyes widened.

This is exactly what he saw when he held the Sword of Mercy in his hand.

"Be careful! Get out of the way!"

A piercing roar came.

Before Alka had time to react, he saw Hammer in front of him turn into a ball of blood mist.
