Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Isrit's witchcraft didn't change visually or audibly. Ordinary witches didn't know whether she had successfully cast the spell, and some stupid guys were still laughing.However, the energy fluctuations in the air could not escape the eyes of the elders, and Carissa of the Moon Banner frowned. She murmured, "What kind of evil witchcraft is this?"

Tia also widened her eyes, and said in surprise, "Is this the liberal witchcraft?"

Alita didn't speak, but her dog was already on its feet.The dog barked wildly at Isrit, seemingly terrified.At this moment, Isrita walked towards the black vicious dog, and Alita yelled, "What are you doing?"

Estelle glared at her, but said nothing.Then she said to the dog, "Go back to your world, beast."

No matter how terrifying the dog that swallows the moon is, it is still a beast, and the spirit of the earth mother is the master of all beasts.After hearing this, the dog's body began to melt, turning into fly ash little by little.Alita was furious and said, "Moon-eating dog! Tear her apart!"

The familiar couldn't disobey its master's order, the dog struggled in pain for a while, and then rushed towards Isriette.Isrit raised his right hand and said: "The stars and the moon and the strong wind." Immediately, the silver-white power of the stars and the moon and the dark green wind element condensed in his palm. The little witches didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but the elders all terrified.Alita jumped and fell to the floor in fright, Carissa ran away a long way, and Tia got up and stood behind the chair.Immediately, two forces erupted in the palm of Estherite——

"boom!"

The tea sets, tables and chairs, and the witches were all overturned by the air current.The black dog was instantly blown into ashes.Although her strength is not as strong as in the secret realm now, it is still enough for her to kill a dog.The witches all cried out in terror.This destructive skill is lacking in witchcraft, academic or liberal alike.Curses, prophecies and voodoo are the style of witches.That's why Isrit's tricks terrified these witches.

Alita fell to the ground, clutching her heart, and said, "You, you are not a summoning technique at all!"

Yisruite said: "This is summoning! I summoned the gods of the orcs to attach to my body, but you mortals cannot see the gods."

"Nonsense, nonsense! You liberal—"

Estelle raised her palm to her.

The second half of the old witch's words turned into a scream, "You, what are you doing?"

"I don't do anything," Estherite took her hand back again, and she said with a smile, "I just move my joints."

Isrit clapped her hands and said, "Come here, sweep up the ashes on the ground." After that, two servants came to sweep up the ground.The Moon Swallowing Dog became a pile of rubbish and was swept into the dustbin.Estherite slowly walked back to his seat under everyone's gaze. When he sat down, his stomach hurt again.

Wait a minute, boy, I'll let you out when I get rid of these old hags!

"Next..." She looked at Carissa of the Moon Banner, "Elder Carissa, let's make a star map next."

Star map is another way to test the ability of witches. Witches need to imprint magic marks on the star map and manipulate the stars on the star map to show their ability to communicate with Xingyue.The smoother the Xingyue runs, the more profound the witch's mana is.

Carissa seemed to be a cautious person, and when she heard what Estherite said, she declined: "The Earl has already proved his strength, so there is no need for this star map. Because this thing is a test Junior Witch's. I think...we'll have to change things up a bit."

The old witch is still not reconciled, Isrit thought to herself, it seems that she wants to win back. "What you said makes sense, so what trick do you want to change?" Estelle asked tentatively.

"The homework of the academic witches is divided into three subjects: 'External Affairs', 'True Law' and 'Inner Art'. We have already shown the course 'True Law', and now I want to talk about 'External Affairs'."

External affairs, true methods and internal techniques, the three techniques of witches.Isrit had previously learned the real technique and the internal technique from Mrs. Wei'an and Ao Zhulan respectively. She thought that the external affairs were the least useful, so she didn't get distracted from learning them.However, as one of the three major lessons for witches, it's okay for the elders to test her.

Foreign affairs are miscellaneous studies that include "external knowledge" such as portrait divination, translation, herbal medicine, social etiquette, luxury jewelry appreciation, and history.These knowledges have little to do with witches' witchcraft, they are knowledges that help academic witches enter the world, and it is precisely because of this that Estherite did not learn it.

Estherite said: "It's okay to take the foreign affairs exam, but I have to come up with the questions."

Carissa said: "The elders test the disciples, of course I will come up with the questions."

"What question do you want?"

"translate."

Carissa is a master in translating ancient scriptures. Isrit had expected that she would ask this question, so she was prepared. "Of course." Isrit said, "Then we each cast a spell in the ancient language for each other to solve. Whoever solves it faster will win, how about it?"

Carissa sneered and said, "My lord, I need to remind you that I am testing you, not you testing me."

Isrit said: "Elder Carissa, I also need to remind you that the owner here is me, not you—or any one of you." Isrit pinched the armrest of the seat, "Rui The Philosophy Witch Conference is for academic exchanges, not for you to show off! You pick the subjects, and I pick the topics, which is fair."

The Wicked Mother of Winter, [-]

The Wicked Mother of Winter, [-]

Isrit's tough attitude left Carissa speechless.Alita had just been defeated, and the morale on the elder's side was gone.After a long silence, Carissa said: "Okay! Then I will ask the question first."

"Please." Isrit made a gesture.

So Carissa asked someone to pick up the luggage. She whispered to the apprentice and said a long word with a solemn expression.The servant will come after about half an hour, holding several heavy ancient books, some parchment scrolls and some letters.Elder Carissa spread all these things on the table, took a quill, and began to write questions on a piece of white paper.

Estelle thought to herself: Seeing her like this, she must give me some problems.As she thought about it, her stomach ached again.Hold back, she thought, it will be over soon.

Although Elder Carissa is bitter and mean, she is quite academically accomplished.She translated some of the ancient books that the apprentice witches had read before, and Isrit had also read her works, so she respected her.However, now that the two have different positions, this respect can only be let go.

At this moment, Carissa was concentrating on looking up information and writing test questions, while the others were quite bored.Knight Tia said to Isrit, "Lord Earl, I don't think you are very old, but you are knowledgeable and powerful—may I ask where you learned it before?"

Isrit replied: "I'm Ultralan's apprentice, you should know that." Of course, my master is dead now, and she deservedly died.

Tia said: "Of course I know this, and Ultralan must like you very much, otherwise I wouldn't pass on the title to you. However, what I want to ask is...your other masters."

Estherite replied: "When I started, I studied under Mrs. Wei'an in the grandfather tree."

"Mrs. Wei'an... Oh, I know her. She also came to the last meeting. She is a person with a very chic life. She is proficient in the true law and has a wide range of knowledge... Well, she is a bit like a liberal witch."

"She's not a liberal witch." Isrit blurted out.

"Of course she doesn't count, so who counts?" Tia looked at Estelle, "I want to know."

"Knight, what do you want to ask? I don't like to beat around the bush."

"I'm sorry." Tia bowed, "I'm just curious about your real background." She looked at Islet with sincere eyes, "You have both academic knowledge and liberal spells. This is a one-in-a-million talent, a situation that has never appeared in history. And I also heard..." She smiled, "You can command orcs?"

Yisruite pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know where you heard the rumors. The things you said involve my reputation and privacy, so I'm sorry I can't answer them."

The female knight said: "My lord, you should know that I am facing you."

It does seem so, but what is your purpose?Today's Isrit is always vigilant. "Yes, I'm also very happy to meet a friend like you, Tia." Isrit sat on the chair, showing a polite smile, "But now it's Wise Witches' Conference, we only talk about academics, not Other things."

"Well, I'll save these things for next time." Tia didn't let it go, "Then I ask an academic question, can you answer it for me?"

Isrit said: "I don't know much, but I will do my best."

Tia said: "Which faction is stronger, the liberals or the academics?"

"This……"

This sharp question like a sword's edge caught Estherite. After learning the knowledge of the two schools, she felt that the academic school of witchcraft was more organized and more practical.But she also clearly knows that the upper limit of liberal witchcraft is simply unattainable, and a profound liberal master can become a demigod.

She couldn't answer the question right away, and at this moment Tia said to her: "It seems that your heart is still swinging between the two factions, Lord Earl of Hummingbird City."

This remark made her heart angry, and Estherite quickly said: "No, I have inherited the mantle of my mentor, and I am an academic witch. I was just thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of the two schools of witchcraft. Because—"

Just when she was talking about this, Elder Carissa suddenly jumped up and said, "Okay! Countess, let's take a look at this topic."

Isrit and Tia put down the topic just now, and both looked towards Carissa.I saw a parchment roll on her desk, densely filled with small characters, the colors of these characters were black and white, bright and dark, and Isrit knew that these were the words of the tree elves - the light and shade were also the same. Part of the tree sprite text representation message.

Estelle asked someone to bring her the test paper, she glanced at it, and thought in her heart: Oh no, I can't solve it!

Carissa's test questions were not only difficult to understand, but also mixed with a lot of compound spells, quotations from various ancient books, and many uncommon words.For some simple sentences, she seems to have deliberately written long compound sentences, and replaced simple words with complex words.Isrit looked at it for about ten seconds, then put down the test paper and said, "Please give me a little time, Elder Carissa."

Elder Carissa stared at Estherite's face. She seemed to sense Estherite's embarrassment, so she sneered and said, "According to the rules, you have two hours. Of course, you can extend it a bit."

As an elder, Tia wanted to avoid suspicion during the exam, so she didn't come to read this exam paper.But the witches of the same generation as Estherite didn't have to avoid suspicion, and Trinina and Sethe came over to be her assistants.Translating documents often requires the cooperation of many people, so Elder Carissa did not interfere.At this moment, the elder folded his arms and looked confident, as if he was quite proud of the problem he had posed.

Trinina and Sethe were the best witches of their generation, but when they saw the test questions, they immediately changed their faces.Trinina held a thick dictionary and managed to translate a few paragraphs; while Sethe nearly shattered her glasses and couldn't say a few useful words.

"It's so hard," said Sethe. "I can't read a tenth of it."

Trinina said: "We not only need to understand, we also need to use the witchcraft here." She looked at Estherite, "I really can't help this time, I'm sorry, Estherite .”

Isrit is not much better than them. Although she has learned the tree elf language in the secret realm for a few days, what she learned in those few days is not enough to support her to decipher this volume of "Tree Elf Code".

She thought for a moment and decided to use the last resort.

Author's message:

The update will be suspended tomorrow and Sunday, and it will continue on Monday

The Wicked Mother of Winter, VII

The Wicked Mother of Winter, VII

Estherite asked Elder Carissa, saying, "Elder, can I go to my library to look up materials?"

It is understandable that witches must consult information when translating ancient scriptures.Carissa pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes, but not too long. According to the rules, you only have two hours, Lord Earl."

"Okay." Isrit got up and left the table.

She only brought two orc guards this time, and none of the others.Of course, she didn't go to the library, she went to her own back garden.The more she walked, the more painful her abdomen became, and her body became heavier. Estherite felt that she might really give birth.But she must not be defeated, she cannot give birth now, or she will expose her most vulnerable side to those witches.

Wait, wait, wait.She grabbed Ginkgo's wrist fiercely, her nails digging into the orc's skin.

Bai Guo begged: "Mother, you can't go back anymore, you must lie down now!"

"Soon, soon it will be over."

She struggled to walk back to the room, and then opened the door to the greenhouse in the backyard. "Tree elves!" she yelled, "I need your help!"

The vegetation began to sway, and the male elf slowly appeared from among the trees; then bubbles appeared in the pool, and the female elf came out of it.

"What do you need?"

Isrit handed them the test papers and said, "Please translate these into human languages ​​as soon as possible."

"Yes, the spirit of the Earth Mother." The two elves saluted her.

The tree elves are more docile than sheep, and they will obey Isrit's orders.Islet handed them the elder's test paper, and the two of them looked at it and said, "This is a prayer for festivals and a song calling for migratory birds."

Isrit asked: "How long will it take to translate?"

"It has been translated," the woman said to her.

So Estherite quickly completed the test paper under the guidance of the tree elf.As the elf said, the prayer spell in the first half of the test paper has the effect of making people feel happy and forgetting their sorrows; the second spell can make a wonderful sound and call the migratory birds in the distance, telling them that spring has arrived.Afterwards, Estherite asked the tree elf to write a scripture from memory, which was a prayer from ancient times, even for the tree elf, it was an obscure thing.

Afterwards, Estherite returned to the hall with two parchments.

At this time, Witch Carissa was chatting with Alita, bragging about her abilities, and the laughter in the hall could be heard from a long distance away.Before Estelle reached the door, Sethe and Trinina stopped her and asked her what happened?

Sethe told her: "Knight Tia told me that as long as you can translate [-]% of the content, it's fine. She will help you speak and let you pass this level with dignity."

Trinina also said: "Or you can say that you are sick, and you are about to have a baby! Isrit! They won't really embarrass a mother."

Isrit declined the proposal of the two, saying: "You all go back to your positions, I can handle all this." After she finished speaking, she walked into the hall.

The servant sings the trumpet again, telling the guests that the countess has returned.The hall suddenly became much quieter, and people's eyes were all cast on them. Estelle came to the center of the hall to meet everyone's gaze.She handed the exam questions to the elder and said, "I've finished the solution."

Carissa of the Moon Banner looked at her blankly, while Alita's expression changed suddenly. The stout woman asked Carissa loudly, "Didn't you say she couldn't solve it?"

Carissa glared at her, and then said to Isrit: "Then tell everyone."

Estelle picked up the test paper and began to read the translation.When she started to read, Carissa's expression was not right, and when she was halfway through, Carissa asked loudly: "How come you can do this too? Could it be your nonsense? "

"What's wrong with this paragraph?" Estelle pointed to the paragraph "Calling Migratory Birds" and said, "Is there any problem?"

"This paragraph, this paragraph..." Carissa's fingers tightened into the shape of eagle claws, "Who taught you? It is impossible for any academic witch to be able to answer it."

Estelle asked, "Can't you answer that too?"

Carissa's eyes widened suddenly, "I..." She didn't dare to look into Islet's eyes, but looked at the test paper, "Of course I can." She said without confidence, "I just didn't expect , you also understand this language. You...you continue to read! Let me tell you, it’s not enough to solve it, you have to use these witchcraft to pass the test.”

"Yes." After saying that, Estherite interpreted the test paper.She first sang the witchcraft of holiday prayers, and as she sang, the room became quiet, everyone's expressions became relieved, and smiles climbed to the corners of people's mouths; then she sang the magic of summoning migratory birds, within a few minutes, The birds gathered outside the window, flapping their wings and pecking at the window with their beaks.

The elder's face was as sour as rotten milk, and she didn't say a word until the birds flew away amidst the exclamation.Seeing that she was silent, Estelle broke the silence first.

"Elder Carissa, have I passed the test?"

Carissa nodded. "It's over," she said.

Estherite also nodded, and said, "Then it's time for me to come up with the question."

"You? Are you asking questions?" Carissa glared at Isrit, "You are not qualified to test me, an elder!"

Estherite said to her calmly: "Elder, you don't have to answer my question, but you don't have the right to deny me the right to pose a question—if you don't answer, maybe someone else will answer? We are an academic conference, every witch Everyone has a right to participate, right?"

Carissa frowned. She stared at the text on the test paper and murmured, "You're humiliating me on purpose, Earl Ambleside."

I just fight fire with fire. "So, I'm going to come up with a question." Estherite said and put the scripture that the tree elf had just written for her on Carissa's desk, "This is the topic I prepared, and it is also the scriptures of the ancient tree elves. Wen. Anyone of you who wants to explain it can come up and take a look.”

The witches looked at each other, but they were very sensible and didn't come up.At this moment, the tense faces of Isrit, the test paper, and the elders formed a line at three points, and the atmosphere was so tense that people dared not express their anger.

"Show her what you're capable of, Carissa!" Elder Alita shouted from the side, "She's just a little girl, and you're an elder of the academy. What are you afraid of her doing?"

These words gave Carissa a little courage, and she said to Estherite: "Okay! I'll take your question, I want to see..." She stared at the scripture, "Can you What kind of heavenly book will you write?"

Estherite thought to herself at this moment: It is indeed a heavenly book. I asked the tree elves to write it now. There is no reference book in the world.

If you can figure it out, there will be ghosts.
