Chapter 2, Maid Tifa
Feeling bored, since he is a disciple of the Longhu Sect and the Fuzong, Thunder wanted to try whether using magical power to draw talismans would still be effective. Since both involve absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy (magical elements) and gathering it within the body, they should originate from the same source
This is a contract! Tifa trembled as she took out a piece of withered parchment from her embrace, Ten gold coins, not a single one less! You give the money to Uncle Oak and I will go with you!
"Do not hit Uncle Oak, I will go with you!" Tifa's tears rolled down like beads, her eyes filled with a fiery hatred.
The little maid Tifa brought up a bowl of something dark and murky. Thunder did not know what it was, and it felt like chewing wax in his mouth
Thunder pondered for an entire night in bed, and only then did he manage to piece together the situation somewhat clearly
The enchanted talisman subtly emanated an imperceptible wave, while Thunder chewed his lips, feeling somewhat satisfied. The materials were not well-matched, and he was not accustomed to using this goose feather pen, yet achieving this level was already quite remarkable
Please prepare some vermilion... a quill, ink, and a few sheets of paper for me.
A magician is just a magician! Since it is impossible to change this fate, one can only adapt to it! Moreover, the status of a magician is indeed quite high
Forget it, I will make do with what I have. There is indeed paper in this world, but it is quite expensive, and with the current capital of Thunder, it is simply unaffordable.
Angus, the local tycoon who wanted to buy Tifa a few days ago, is the one who instructed his subordinates to beat Colin.
"That's right, smile more. You look like someone owes you money with that long face all day. Who are you showing this to?" Thunder casually tossed the talisman aside and drew another one.
Tifa stood on her tiptoes, watching the Thunder's movements, filled with curiosity. The young maid noticed that ever since the young master woke up, he had become somewhat different from usual, but she could not quite pinpoint what exactly had changed.
"Hehe, Tifa, you won't be at a loss by following me!" Behind several large men stood a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, leering at Tifa. Dressed in bright, flashy clothes, he formed a stark contrast to the dilapidated home. "At my place, you can eat and drink to your heart's content; it's definitely better than staying here!"
Tifa seems to have something to say, looking at Thunderbolt as if he were a dead person, hesitating several times to speak.
This is a place called the Atlantis Continent, and the country where Thunder is located is the Principality of Ceylon
"Ten gold coins!" Angus shook his head, appearing quite reluctant. "Tifa, I will give you five gold coins! Whether you leave or not is not up to you; even if I have to tie you up, I will take you back today!"
"Get lost, you old fool!" A curse rang out, accompanied by a muffled groan, as Uncle Oak began to cough violently, and Tifa's cries were clearly heard.
The practice of drawing talismans emphasizes a seamless execution, without any hint of delay; each talisman must be completed in a single stroke.
Thunder suddenly threw off the blanket, rolled off the bed, pushed open the door, and strode outside.
Many familiar faces have entered the hall. Uncle Oak lies on the ground, while Tifa stands in front of him with her arms outstretched, her frail body standing straight. The old man and the young girl are weeping bitterly.
The surging magical power should be the result of the Spirit-Subduing Pearl. At that time, an immense surge of spiritual energy flowed into my body on Dragon-Tiger Mountain, which not only enhanced my cultivation but also expanded my meridians countless times.
The best medium for talismans is still yellow paper, but there is none available in this place, so Thunder can only use other types of paper as a substitute
Tifa!" Thunder called out to the door, and the young maid immediately pushed the door open and walked in
After three consecutive days of recuperation, Thunder's injuries had mostly healed. Although the attribute of his true essence had transformed into demonic energy, under Thunder's regulation, the demonic energy could still serve some healing purposes
Before long, Tifa came in with the materials
"Young master, this is called the Shaking Head Fearful Thunderbolt Golden Light Talisman. When a talisman is cast, it creates a blood hole. What do you think?"
Tifa let out a light laugh, but soon realized it was inappropriate and quickly composed herself.
Unfortunately, the people of this world and the internal structure of the Earth are slightly different, and spiritual energy cannot be stored in the form of true essence power, so it has to be converted into magical power
After drawing several consecutive pictures, the magical energy within me finally ran out
In the span of three days, Lei Ting came to a realization: surviving a great calamity surely brings future blessings! Although his current situation was dire, the innate qualities of this body were indeed remarkable, even surpassing those of his previous one. If placed in the Longhu Sect, he would undoubtedly be a figure that both his master and senior uncle would compete to take as a disciple. Furthermore, with the substantial spiritual energy brought by the Town Spirit Pearl, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius
"This is all that is left at home," Tifa said timidly
However, this cannot compare to one's own cultivation endeavors! After an unknown period of time, Lei Ting felt somewhat hungry and was also very fatigued.
The second piece is better than the previous one, likely due to increased proficiency in using the goose quill
In other words, I will no longer be able to cultivate in the future? Thunder lay on the bed, his lips bitter. No matter how diligently I study and practice in the future, the spiritual energy I obtain will inexplicably transform into magical power! In this world, spiritual energy is also referred to as magical elements.
In the Kingdom of Ceylon, every magician is a respected crownless noble
"Young Master, I am going to prepare the meal." It seems that Tifa found it uninteresting to watch from the sidelines and sought an excuse to leave, but Thunder waved her off without paying her any mind
Tifa quickly averted her gaze, standing solemnly to the side, but after a short while, she cast her eyes back onto the symbol of thunder
I am very satisfied with the current amount of magic reserves. In the past, Thunder could only draw two talismans at a time, but now it has increased significantly. I found three that look quite good and was just about to go out to test whether they are useful with the *illustrated* book when I heard Uncle Orc's cries from outside: "You can't do this... Let Tifa go..."
It is uncertain whether this world truly has vermilion; Thunder believes that once his body has recovered, he can explore this matter further
Using a knife, he cut the parchment into neatly sized rectangles and set them aside. He then took one sheet, spread it out, and skillfully dipped a quill into the ink to begin drawing.
The standard of magical power within the body is uncertain. Previously, Colin was not suited for learning magic due to insufficient mental strength, which is why the concept did not exist in Thunder's mind
It should be the Spirit-Guarding Pearl that protected its own consciousness, bringing itself to this person's body
"If you want to watch, just watch. Why sneak around? The young master is in a good mood today and won't hit you!" A few minutes later, Lei Ting picked up his pen and took a deep breath, but the words that came out surprised even him, perhaps due to the influence of Colin's memories.
"Isn't it enough to do it this way?" A man resembling a thug spat disdainfully, "You are given a chance but refuse it; must you resort to violence?"
"Parchment?" Thunder asked Tifa, holding the object in his hand with a hint of disbelief. "This thing has a bloody smell and will significantly reduce the power of the spell."
