Chapter 358 Magic Circle Carving Practice

Lilith was concentrating on controlling the tip of the pen in her hand.

After almost a year of learning the basics of magic patterns, they finally started learning how to draw magic circles at the end of this semester.

Magic arrays are extremely complex. Even if there is only a slight difference in their effects, the way the array is drawn is likely to be completely different.

Although she and Catherine had missed a lot of classes at the beginning of this semester, the two test-takers would not allow themselves to fall behind in their studies. After cramming every night, she and Catherine had finally caught up with everyone else's progress. At this moment, they were concentrating on trying to draw their first miniature magic circle on a birch board.

"You have such a steady hand, Lilith." Lulu, who was watching from the side, didn't dare to breathe until Lilith put down the carving knife.

"Maybe you have more strength because you hold the sword more often. Just practice more and you'll be fine." Lilith smiled at her, "Maybe you can learn some basic fighting skills, Lulu, I can teach you."

There is definitely no harm in having a strong physique. Even when running away, you can run a few more steps than others.

"Okay." Lulu thought about it and nodded in agreement. She knew that Lilith was doing this for her own good.

"I can't wait for the next class. I want to try it out now." Lilith dusted off the sawdust on her legs, wanting to see how her first work would turn out.

"Eh? But this requires a magic stone--" Lulu blinked. They were only responsible for practicing, and whether the experimental magic circle was successful would be left in class for the teacher to check together. For such a miniature magic circle, one magic stone could activate many pieces, so it would be too luxurious to try it by themselves.

But the wealthy Lilith had already placed a blue magic stone on it, and the light suddenly lit up.

“Okay, I succeeded—” Lulu’s face was illuminated by the light and looked particularly adorable. “You succeeded on your first try?!”

As expected, it’s Lilith!

"I've practiced it on paper many times before." Lilith said modestly, but the next second, the magic stone disappeared and the light on the magic circle dimmed.

“Uh—” Lilith was stunned for a moment, then she scratched her head in sudden realization, “The magic circle I carved has the effect of devouring. Although it was successful,… the magic stone was placed in the wrong position…”

“Ah——” Lulu’s eyes widened. Such a big piece of magic stone was gone just like that?! No wonder Lucas was always so sarcastic. Even she wanted to fight these rich people now! ! !

Leila sat in the corner of the Rose Building, staring at Lilith in the center of the crowd in a daze.

Lilith believed that the guardian should not neglect cultural studies, so she was always assigned some extra homework and extracurricular reading materials. At this moment, she was slowly taking notes while reading, but she became distracted again while writing.

——My father did not lie. Every year, Lilith would receive a large number of Philosopher's Stones. In terms of material things, Lilith could not be said to be treated harshly.

But why? Leila's childish eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Her father seemed to be disgusted with Lilith, but he still fulfilled some of his father's responsibilities. Was it out of gentlemanly character, to prevent the servants from talking, or... something else?

She couldn't understand. Her father was so tight-lipped. How could she pry him open?

Besides, he was her father after all. Wouldn't it be too cruel if he kept recalling his deceased wife because of her questioning? - They were her relatives after all. Leila was conflicted and lay on the table in frustration.

"Catherine, what kind of magic circle did you make? Why are there two?" Jaina saw the princess still busying herself, and saw that after she finished carving one, she actually picked up another one and continued carving.

"Teleport." Catherine replied in a gentle voice.

"No wonder there are two..." Jaina nodded in understanding, somewhat admiring Catherine for picking such a difficult task right from the start. Some people were lazy and would only draw some simple magic patterns for heating or cooling in order to cope with the homework.

"Are you delivering people or things?" Lilith dejectedly put away her Taotie teleportation board and came over.

"It's for teleporting items. It's too complicated to teleport people. Even if I dare to try to carve it, no one would dare to try to use it..." Catherine answered honestly, making Lilith laugh.

Indeed, the teleportation array is an extremely advanced magic array. If you try it rashly, you might be torn into pieces in the void. The several large teleportation arrays in the center of Goletia City were all drawn by magicians of various races in the past.

"What do you want to transmit?" Lilith asked when Catherine stopped writing to rest again. She thought Catherine would not waste time doing meaningless things.

"I'm wondering if we can trade with the dwarves. We need a large amount of magic stones and magic devices..." Catherine did not hide it.

"I have it there--" Lilith thought of her underground vault.

"That's far from enough, Lilith." Catherine shook her head, "Besides, the transaction is just an introduction--"

"...You want to re-ally with the dwarves?" Lilith asked in a low voice with her eyes wide open.

It turns out that Catherine has not given up on uniting with other tribes to fight against the Void Beasts.

"Well, I've read many history books and talked with the dwarves in the city many times. There is no hatred between humans and dwarves. It's just that humans are closer to the elves, so they chose to stand on the side of the elves after the two tribes split. So, I think they may be the most likely target for a successful negotiation." Catherine shared her analysis.

Lilith nodded in agreement. The dwarves adapted well to Goletia. Although they had no interest in the world outside the city, they had no hostility towards the humans in the city and were even very easy to talk to. They made money when they could and drank wine when they could, and were easy to get along with. However, after suffering a series of setbacks recently, she decided not to be blindly optimistic.

"Maybe it won't be an easy task, Princess." Lilith jumped and sat on Catherine's desk, and the princess was so scared that she quickly pushed aside the carving knives of all sizes.

"You always have to have some considerable exchange conditions to convince others to cooperate with you."

"Yeah - I'm still thinking about what I can give them..." Catherine, who had nothing in her hands, sighed softly, but then cheered up again.

"I saw some murals when I was in the Forest of Elves." Catherine's eyes became more and more determined as she recalled how Queen Zora united all races and eventually became the King of Men, fighting against the Void together with various gods.

"Zora was able to unite the tribes once, so why can't I?" She looked down at the half-carved wooden board in her hand and tightened her grip on the penknife -

"It doesn't matter if the elves don't want to form an alliance. There are so many other races. I can try one by one and try to persuade them one by one..." Catherine's silver eyes sparkled.

"Very good. You look very energetic." Lilith patted her shoulder encouragingly, and then remembered something.

"Oh, to get to where the orcs are, we almost have to cross the Elf Forest, right?" Before successfully conquering the dwarves, Lilith had already thought of the next one.

"If I had known earlier, I should have gone with that stupid dragon. At least I could have gotten to know the place and become familiar with it." Lilith finally felt a little regretful.

I don’t know what the moody black dragon is doing now.
