Infinite Journey Starting from the Fox

"Haha, it's just a joke, I won't cheat." Lin Ling scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, and then continued, "Actually, we came here to ask Alice for advice."

"Please teach me?" Alice pointed to herself, "Please teach me what? Do you still want to learn how to make dolls?"

"That's right, I have to admit that this guy's talent for light and heat magic is really limited, and it's very difficult to learn it in a short time." As he spoke, Marisa grabbed Alice's hand, twisted his body and shook it, and said, " So I think Alice can help others, try to teach the little fox doll magic, maybe she can learn it."

As soon as Marisa acted like a baby, Alice was captured on the spot, and then she pretended to cover her nose uncomfortably and said, "If you can't be a magic cannon user, do you want to try a puppet user? Yes, but, puppet magic is comparable to Getting started with other magic is much more difficult."

Marisa: "It's disgusting, I'm not a magic gunner, I know a lot of magic."

"Really? But it's still a magic that only causes damage, right?" Paqiuli complained, "But Marisa actually invited foreign aid. Isn't this a violation?"

Marisa: "Why not? Didn't it mean that it would be good to teach the little fox a kind of magic? It doesn't matter who teaches it? Besides, are you so afraid of losing yourself? You don't even dare to let other people teach the little fox. fox?"

"Hmph? The provocative method? Do you think I will be fooled?" Paqiuli glanced at Marisa and Lin Ling, "But what you said is also reasonable. If it is really useless to work hard, then anyone can teach her She can't learn it either, so what have I to be afraid of?"

"Nice, since Paqiuli agreed, Alice, you can try to teach the little fox doll magic." Marisa impatiently asked Alice to teach Lin Ling magic.

"What you said is simple, but Miss Lin Ling." Alice turned her head and said to Lin Ling, "Puppet use is more difficult to learn than ordinary magic users. In fact, they are indirectly controlling the doll to release magic. Although more manipulations can be performed in this way, it will also greatly increase the amount of manipulations, are you sure you want to learn it?"

Lin Ling thought for a while and agreed: "I, I will try, do my best!"

After all, it involves the time limit of "Prison Disaster", and the penalty for failure will not change, so Lin Ling has no choice but to try his luck.

Alice: "Speaking of which, if you want to become a puppet master, you have to know how to make dolls first, but if you start from making dolls, I'm afraid you won't even get started after two months of being a maid. .”

Lin Ling was startled: "Ah, this..."

"However, I can lend you some elementary dolls for the time being. Of course, the premise is that Paqiuli, one of the parties involved in the game, agrees." Alice said immediately.

"Yes, I can allow you to use the puppet lent to you by others, and I can tell you some news in advance: even the lowest puppet magic is much more difficult than fireball." Paqiuli said a little Don't worry, she generously agreed with Alice to help borrow the doll.

Lin Ling: "Well, thank you Alice and Paqiuli, I will work hard!"

"Still here chatting with the guests and fishing? It's time to work!" Suddenly, Sakuya appeared behind Lin Ling and Marisa in an instant, and then took the two away in the next instant.

Today's maid transfer, it's today.

But that's fine, Alice took advantage of the two of them being busy, and just had time to think carefully about how to teach Lin Ling doll magic.

"Oh~ But I agree, I agree, but how should I teach people? Speaking of which, I have only become a magician for a short time, and I really have no experience in educating others. What should I do, Paqiuli~" Lin Ling and the magician As soon as Lisa and the two were taken away by Sakuya, Alice lay down on the table and complained.

In front of the magic senior Patchouli, as a junior, Alice showed a little-known relaxed side.

"You should demonstrate the puppet magic first to arouse her interest, and then start talking about controlling the movement of the puppet." Paqiuli suggested, "However, I am looking forward to the two of them asking for my guidance."

"Oh? Is Paqiuli actually planning to teach herself? Shouldn't you be on the side that wants Lin Ling to fail?" Alice sat up and asked in surprise after hearing what Ai Qiulai said.

Paqiuli shook her head: "Although I'm not very optimistic about her, it doesn't mean that I want her to fail. On the contrary, it's better to say that I hope they can win in my heart. This will prove that magic is far more important than me. The more fantastic and unpredictable the imagination, the deeper my interest and passion for magic will be."

Alice: "That's right."

Paqiuli: "And, have you forgotten? When the two of us checked the body of the little fox before, we found that there are many forces in Gensokyo in her body. It's really not easy. I'm interested."

"That's true, but I think since it involves too much, it's better for us not to get too involved." Alice suggested seriously after talking here, but she immediately changed her mind, "Although, We may not be able to be alone~"

Chapter 146 Can You Move Itself?

After the maid work in the morning was over, Lin Ling and Marisa, who had some rest time, went to find Alice again.

Then Alice took the two of them to the open space in the courtyard of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and first demonstrated to Lin Ling what puppet magic is.

Then countless puppets rose from behind Alice, and began a magnificent flight in the sky that completely exploded the Air Force aircraft performance.

"Wow, Miss Alice's fingers are so nimble."

Looking at the puppets, which are numerous but chaotic and orderly, flying all over the sky while performing various gorgeous stunts, Lin Ling couldn't help but praise Alice.

"It's okay." After showing Lin Ling the basic manipulation of the dolls, Alice gently pulled the magic thread connected to the dolls on her finger, and instantly took all the dolls back, "It's just The most basic thing is to control the puppet to fly."

"Is this still the most basic?" Lin Ling couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, this is just the roughest way to control the movement of the doll." Then, Marisa said in a tone as if boasting of herself, "Hmph, my Alice can also control the doll to do cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. at the same time." As for housework, of course, the most important thing is to participate in the battle."

"Can you still do housework, and do several things at the same time? Is it so convenient?" Hearing this, Lin Ling couldn't help imagining that she was fishing and paddling, and then a bunch of puppets would automatically finish all the maid work while she was doing it. Scenes.

Lin Ling: No!If I learn this magic, what kind of maid will I be?

"Actually not. After all, dolls have no self-awareness and can't act autonomously. They still need to be manipulated by me, and because manipulating dolls is inherently complicated, it's even more busy in a sense." Alice explained. road.

Lin Ling: "Is that so, alas~ there is no magic that can be activated by itself?"

"Haha, what you think is so beautiful, how can there be such a good thing." Marisa complained.

"Okay, now that the preliminary demonstration of the manipulation of the puppet is over, it's time to get down to business." As she spoke, Alice took out a small puppet from nowhere and handed it to Lin Ling, "First, you have to I have a doll of my own~"

"This is... me?" Lin Ling took a q version of the white-haired fox girl that Alice handed over, "When did Miss Alice make it?"

Alice: "I usually make dolls when I have free time. I have basically made dolls for my acquaintances in Gensokyo, and Miss Lin Ling is no exception."

Marisa: "Yeah, Alice likes making dolls, and some characters have made more than one, such as us."

"That's so exaggerated." Alice blushed, and then deliberately underreported the number of most Marisa dolls, "Malisha's dolls were only made around ten or twenty."

"Is it so powerful?" But Lin Ling thought for a second: where do you put all the dolls made by Miss Alice?Are they everywhere at home?Huh~ It's a bit scary to think about it this way, just like a horror movie.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you like this puppet?" Seeing Lin Ling's face suddenly changed and she shivered, Alice thought she didn't like her puppet.

Lin Ling: "No, it's very cute. I just thought of some other things. By the way, aren't you afraid that Miss Alice has so many dolls at home?"

Alice didn't quite understand Lin Ling's meaning: "Afraid? The dolls are so cute, so how could they be afraid? I hope the more the better."

"Okay, okay, time is limited, let's get down to business, little fox, you can go to Alice's house when you have time, and there will be plenty of time to talk about it." Marisa urged.

Lin Ling: "Oh."

"Well, that's right, since you have the doll, let's start officially." Alice also nodded.

……

Then Alice planned to teach Lin Ling the most basic magic for manipulating puppets—the magic puppet thread.

Alice: "First of all, you need to use magic power on your fingers to condense the silk thread connected to the puppet..."

First is the most basic theoretical explanation.

At this time, Marisa also said that she had been interested in puppet magic for a long time, so she also listened to it.

But Lin Ling listened in a daze, magic or something, to her, a young man in the new century who has received more than ten years of materialistic education, is no less than a bible, so she felt her eyelids start to fight soon , and even almost fell asleep several times~.

"Really, are you listening carefully!"

Suddenly, Marisa, who was listening with gusto, happened to catch a glimpse of the little fox beside her who had closed her eyes at some point, and she slapped the little fox's pp in anger.

"Ah!" Lin Ling, who was stimulated, quickly woke up and shouted, "Yes, yes, yes."

Then, Lin Ling immediately complained to Marisa: "It's black and white, where are you fighting!"

Marisa: "Hmph, I can hit you wherever I want, who told you not to listen carefully!"

"Huh?" Alice, who was reciting the two writing and drawing on the blackboard, heard the movement of the two, and then turned around a little angrily, "Listen to the class carefully! The next step is the important point!"

"Okay, Teacher Alice~" x2

Then another hour or two passed.

……

"Okay, this is the end of the theoretical course. Do you understand? Now it's time to start the practical operation. Which one of you will come first." Alice asked the two after finishing the theoretical course.

"No problem! I have fully understood!" Marisa nodded again and again, "I can't wait a bit, if I learn puppet magic, won't I be able to fire two magic cannons at once, or even three cannons, four cannons, five cannons gun……"

"You said before that Lin Ling thought beautifully, but I think you thought it was even more beautiful. How could it be so simple." Alice complained mercilessly, "You let the doll move first, then talk about it."

Then Marisa demonstrated how to manipulate the doll, and she didn't brag, she instantly released the same magic puppet line that Alice used when manipulating the doll, and it was immediately connected to a q version of the Marisa doll body, and then let it stand up as if it was alive.

hateful!Is this the so-called hardworking genius? !It's really enviable and jealous.Seeing this scene, Lin Ling bit the handkerchief (bu) extremely~

"Hahaha, as expected of a genius magician, puppetry is nothing more than that! Did you see~ little fox? Puppetry is not difficult at all." Then Marisa manipulated the puppet and said to Lin Ling Show off.

However, before Marisa was seduced for a long time, she suddenly got excited, and she couldn't control the strength well, and directly pulled off the head of the q-version Marisa doll she was controlling.

"Yo yo, great genius, where's your head? Could it be that you're 'extremely smart'?" Lin Ling had long seen Marisa, who was flustered, was upset, and immediately took the opportunity to taunt.

Marisa: "Ah! How could this happen?"

"Marisa, you are too rude. From this point of view, you may not be very suitable for playing with dolls." Alice said upon seeing this.

Marisa: "Damn it! Sure enough, dolls are not fun at all! Hmph~ little girls only play with dolls, and firepower is justice daze!"

"baka~" Alice scolded Marisa lightly when she saw this, then turned her head and said to Lin Ling, "Marisa is over, so it's time for you, Lin Ling~"

Chapter 147 Qualifications of a Puppet Maker

"Ah this."

Lin Ling, who was still making fun of Marisa, suddenly lost her smile: Oops!I didn't understand at all just now.

But I can only bite the bullet.

Then I saw the little fox stretching out his ten fingers, silently reciting the magic spell that Alice had just memorized.

Unfortunately, nothing happened~

"Hmm~" Alice stared dissatisfiedly at Lin Ling who was sweating profusely, "Did you listen carefully just now?"

"I did, but...that~" Lin Ling seemed to have returned to her old school life, the kind where the teacher caught her when she missed class and was called to answer questions.

"Report to Teacher Alice!" Marisa raised her hand at this moment, "I'll report the little fox for dozing off in class just now!"

"Really? You're not good, student Lin Ling! I've worked so hard to give lectures over there, but you're deserting? Can't you even do the most basic 'gathering magic into silk'?" Alice became a little angry.

Lin Ling: Hateful black and white, but still make small reports!But the top priority is how to deal with the 'examination'?Have!

Lin Ling suddenly realized that the energy stored in his body does not have obvious attributes, but exists in the form of the system's so-called 'mp'. What type of skills he uses, mp will be converted into the corresponding type of energy and released .

Lin Ling: Then I first use "monster power control" to condense the mp converted into demon power into thin lines, and then use "magic power manipulation" to control it. Will this have the same effect? .

As soon as he said it, Lin Ling immediately used the skills of 'monster power control' and 'magic power control' alternately.

It turned out to be okay.

Lin Ling first used the dominance-level demon power control skills to condense a thin thread on each finger, and then immediately switched to 'magic power manipulation' to get away when Alice frowned and felt a little confused.

"Huh? Could it be that the little fox really has the talent for puppet magic?" Marisa couldn't help being surprised when she saw this.

Alice also pulled up a line formed by the magic on Lin Ling's finger to check: "Although it is still very rough and weak, it is barely ok. Now try to connect it according to the method I said before. onto the puppet."

Lin Ling nodded, and controlled the puppet threads one by one to wrap around the important joints of the puppet.

"Okay, now you can try to control its movement," Alice continued.

"Okay." Lin Ling was a little overjoyed: Although it was cheating, the final effect seemed to be the same. Could it be that puppet magic is really a trick?

Then I saw the q version of Lin Ling twitching like crazy on the ground.

There is still a huge gap between Lv1 magic power manipulation and the ultimate evolution version's dominance-level energy manipulation 'demon power domination'.

"Hahahahahahahahaha." Perhaps because the image of the doll is the Q version of Lin Ling, and because she is operating it herself, Marisa couldn't help but imagine Lin Ling writhing on the ground after seeing this side The scene almost died laughing on the spot.

"Hmph~" Lin Ling gave Marisa a dissatisfied look, "What's so funny! It's not all because of you that I learned magic so quickly."

"Sorry, sorry, logically speaking, I shouldn't laugh at beginners." Marisa quickly covered her mouth, although she still couldn't completely suppress her smile, "Unfortunately, I couldn't hold back."

"Hmm~" Alice couldn't help shaking her head slightly when she saw this, but after seeing Lin Ling's disappointed expression, she immediately comforted, "It's not bad, at least it's moving."

"Hey~Miss Alice, you don't need to comfort me. Even if I don't know magic at all, I can tell that it's not moving at all." Lin Ling sighed, "Is there really no one who can move by himself?" Is it magic?"

Then Lin Ling had a sudden thought: Why do I have to go to the extra effort to convert it into a magic puppet line, can't I just manipulate it directly?

Unfortunately, this plan was immediately rejected by Alice: "Can that still be considered magic? And puppet magic is not only about controlling the movement of the puppet, but also releasing other conventional magic with the help of the puppet. If you use demon power instead, just do it." It's not here."

"Well, it seems that we have to find another way." At this time, Marisa, who had finally laughed enough, also suggested.

"That's the only way to go. It's too much effort to learn puppet magic in a short period of time. Paqiuli should be the magician with the most knowledge of magic among the three of us. Maybe it would be better to ask her." Bar."

Although a few hours of education was wasted, Alice was not angry, and instead thought of a way out for Lin Ling.

Lin Ling thought for a while: "Is it Paqiuli Noreki? That old magician with the surname of knowledge? Although she looks really powerful, isn't she from the other side of the game? Will she help us?"

slap~

"Hey!" The little devil suddenly appeared at this time, and slapped Lin Ling's head with the book in his hand, "Hmph, I heard you talking bad things about my Master Paqiuli behind my back, Master Paqiuli She's still a beautiful girl, so she's not old at all."

"It hurts!" Lin Ling said, covering the place where she was beaten, "Why is the word 'old' a bad word? Isn't that a compliment for Paqiulisang's knowledgeable, well-informed, and rich experience?"
