Monica, dressed in crocodile costume, walked under the big sun and felt a different atmosphere as soon as she entered the entrance of the group training room. Except for a few individuals who still dealt with it alone, most knights have gathered into small groups of three or five, either in a row or in a triangle. Everyone tightened their minds and focused on the Countess with a fiery red ponytail in the center of the field.
Watching Yanni's relaxed demeanor stand out from others, coupled with her extremely revealing attire, Monisha deeply felt Yanni's confidence and her pride as a woman. The pearl shaped earrings and dark gray cloth fist covers only have a hard object painted with strange symbols on the back of the hand, and the shoe covers only have special protective blocks on the toes. Wearing items specially designed by oneself, the beauty in front of most people is just a strong and deadly poison. In my impression, only one man can control this woman that others want to touch but dare not touch. However, it is not known to outsiders whether Chu Li himself is proud of this matter.
Stepping into the door of the training room, the huge crocodile puppet let out a light sigh. The sound of breaking the silence was like a starting signal, and everyone moved. No one is wasting their energy making meaningless shouts anymore, they must devote more energy to the battle in front of them. But the gap between them was still so big that it was disappointing. Just as Monica walked from the door to sit still, many people had already been knocked down, especially the group who were left alone.
Watching everything happening in front of her quietly, Monica felt much colder than interacting with each other. The people in the field are like a clear mirror, reflecting clearly what is happening around them. The continuous attacks from dozens of small groups give the impression of being surrounded by a large group. Unlike in the past, there have been scenes of each other obstructing each other's attacks and being defeated by Yan Ni one by one. Nowadays, the speed of replenishment and the combat posture are utilized to the best level. Everyone is only for one purpose, defeating the almost indestructible giant in front of them, the princess among the seven warriors.
A familiar feeling, this is a feeling that makes Monica very familiar. Knights have this kind of consciousness not because of confidence or killing intent, but because of a strong sense of survival under terror. The coldness brought about by this terror, which I have experienced in the past
Another place to live.
If silence could kill people, then many people should have died in this situation now. A woman sitting on the ground without saying a word, with red blood stains on the walls and smashed bodies' "Death and silence" is the only adjective that can be used at this moment. The unique scent of vampires permeates the entire enclosed room, with a bloody and terrifying smell
No one knows when this confrontation started, only know that no one has been in a good mood since entering the door. John Carroll dragged Monica into the door and threw her to the ground, then sat silently in his seat. No one dared to make a sound before he asked others to sit down. Because the guy who wanted to break the silence had become a rag hanging on the wall, and his only action was to approach John Carroll without making any sound.
"John Carroll, what should we do now?" No matter how long the silence persisted, someone still needed to break the silence. Sally took the initiative to take on this unfinished task, took a step forward, and then directly raised her question. But no one knows what will happen to her.
John Carroll's gaze, which had been staring at Monica, suddenly turned to Sally. In an instant, Sally was like being hit by a heavy hammer, slamming her whole body towards the wall behind her. Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and the indentation on the wall indicated the strength of her strength. It can be said that Sally was a little stronger than the guy who just hung over there.
But it was also this sacrifice that gave John Carroll a different kind of action. John Carroll stood up and was facing everyone, with a cold voice saying, "Lock her up in the basement!" Before anyone could react, his figure sank into the wall and left.
After wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Sally helped up Monica, who was still sitting on the ground, and took her to the basement. It wasn't until she was locked in a special sealed room, just before the door was about to close, that Monica made a sound: "Why didn't you all say anything?"
Sally responded coldly, "What's there to say? This is your own choice, and it's also John Carroll's choice..." After finishing her sentence, she closed the door that she didn't know would open again.
"Bang!" A huge sound pulled Monica's consciousness back to reality. Yanni hugged a knight's waist from behind and rammed him into the wall next to her, marking the first sign of damage to the building in the training room.
Five knights have already caught up from behind. Judging from the situation, Yan Ni kicked against the wall and flipped behind the knights. The five people who came forward still rushed forward, accustomed to avoiding their fallen companions on the ground. They only slightly turned aside and avoided Monica sitting in front of them, then learned Yanni's movements and kicked towards the wall.
The movements of kicking towards the wall, jumping into the air, and turning around were all in one go. Perhaps only the slow movements caused by their heavy armor could be criticized, but this was the fatal injury in Yan Ni's eyes. Compared to a knight still in the air, a fierce punch greeted the opponent's nose bridge, and the knight, who flipped around in the air, lay in a large figure next to Monica.
"Hey! Monica, you're still daydreaming. You're not telling me how to use things yet." Yan Ni, who had some time to say something, quickly focused on the battle.
Remembering the purpose of coming here, the crocodile propped up its long chin with its pretend hands. Habitually scratching the seemingly imperceptible cheek of the puppet, Monica began to chant:
It has both bones and flesh
It's something made of cracked gas and crushed stones
You are armor, the armor of black iron
You are a silver spear, a silver spear stained with blood
You are a sacred shield, a protective wall
"You are an axe gun, a penetrating gun..."
Amidst Monica's singing, Yanni was surrounded by a glazed glow. With the swing of the right straight fist, a transparent glass hand enveloped the knight who came towards Yan Ni's boxing.
Yanni looked at her right fist with a dull face. The knights seized the opportunity and jumped into the air, gripping the long sword raised above their heads with both hands, which demonstrated the power it would emit when swung down. Suddenly, Yanni only reached out one hand to stop the knight, while the other hand covered her mouth and said, "Wait a moment!" Her aura changed from a murderous intent to the original countess's gentle demeanor.
The knights in the air were feeling at a loss due to such a transformation, and the momentum of their long swords could no longer stop. Just as he was about to strike, the ugly giant demon's glass body covered Yanni and bounced the swords of the knights open.
Everyone was staring foolishly at the Countess running towards the courtyard and doing evil, while Monica walked over to Yanni's back and gently stroked her slightly sad back. "Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable using such props?"
Ignoring Monissa's caring words, she just touched Yanni on her body, sometimes catching her pulse, and sometimes touching her belly. Monica didn't mind either, she just squatted quietly on the side.
"Monica..."
"Ah~What's going on?"
"What do you think my second child should be named after?"
"Ah? What rice?" The crocodile's expression froze for a moment, and its wide eyes stared straight at the exceptionally happy Countess.
"I don't know if this time it's a man or a woman?"
Yanni, who stood up, hugged her belly and chuckled. The knights behind seemed to understand the reason for the Countess's recent situation even faster than Monica. A group leader, Wostipo, led the way with a smile and congratulated, "Great, Countess. Pregnant women only need to do moderate exercise, so let's leave it to ourselves. You can go back to your room and rest."
"Moderate exercise? Oh~That's right, then I should strengthen a bit more. Otherwise, there won't be much exercise to help with fetal development."
"Ah~What? No... not really!"
The relaxed mood, as well as Yan Ni's words, did indeed undermine everyone's will. In addition, with the help of Monica's props, Yanni moved more quickly, and no one could stand in the center of the field after only a few strokes.
"Let's go! Monica, accompany me to take a shower. Ah~My body is sticky, it's been a long time since I've felt this way. It's really not easy to train these immature young men. What kind of gentle guidance? It's more satisfying to just beat them up." Holding the hand of the crocodile puppet, Yan Ni dragged Monica out.
Forcefully removing the puppet, Yanni threw Monica into the big bathtub, and she also jumped into the hot and cold bathtub naked. The maids next to them are also accustomed to picking up clothes that have been scattered all over the ground.
"Huh~It's really comfortable to take a shower after exercising!"
"That's for taking a shower, not for soaking..."
"No problem! No problem!" Yan Ni picked up the Monisha made parts left by the bathtub and looked around, asking, "How did you do this?"
"Do you remember that demon?"
Yanni nodded in response, but her gaze remained fixed on the object in her hand. Monica continued, "Using every piece of meat on its body as fuel, refining its bones into earrings and protective hard blocks. The other parts are silk products that cater to comfort, mixed with some women's hair... of course not mine. And the curse above is a text that empowers the user."
"Is that something similar to a song? I remember that little girl Alice used a similar spell before."
"Oh! Alice! When I brought the skeleton of the Clear Sky Tower back to the teacher, I met her once. That kind of knowledge was also known at the time. However, that spell was just a verbal spell, and just reciting its words could produce effects without using magic to activate the power of the soul. Also, because it is a type of verbal spell, there can be no changes in the text."
With a furrowed brow, Yan Ni looked at the object in her hand and said, "So seal its soul inside?"
"That's right."
Looking at Monica, Yanni nervously asked, "But what if one day I can't control it like this?"
"There won't be such a problem?"
"Why?"
"It's very simple, because most of its magic is used to lock in its own consciousness and six senses, as well as maintain the existence of its soul, leaving only about 30% of its total magic. However, due to the overflow of magic, it can only exert about 20% of its original strength. If it wants to barely increase the upper limit or do some more delicate actions, it will inevitably liberate some of the demon's senses, which will have adverse effects."
"Twenty percent! I feel that the amount of magic emanating is similar to mine, only about twenty percent?"
"I said this guy is very strong. Didn't you guys feel it carefully back then?"
Faced with the shaking of her head, Monica sighed. Yan Ni just shrugged helplessly and continued to ask, "Is it only functional like a hero's sword?"
"No! It's a bit worse than the Hero Sword. However, when equipped, its self-defense function will be activated, and there is no need to use it as a verbal weapon to activate it. In addition, soul form changes cannot be as varied as the Hero Sword, probably due to the demon's body type, but it is enough to cover the ordinary human body. Oh! And it can use magic to make shockwave style attacks, similar to the magic ball you use."
"Why not make a ball like attack directly?"
"Didn't I say that I couldn't control its magic too finely, so I had to throw its magic out to attack like throwing garbage. If I could control it so finely, why not directly use its magic to cast magic?"
"That's right! But if you shoot out its magic unlimited, will it have any negative effects?"
"It's a huge garbage dump, and it may take a long time for you to dispose of all the garbage inside. Besides, its magic recovery speed is also amazing, so I need to use a considerable amount of magic to seal its sense of control."
"Yeah..."
Putting her arm on the edge of the bathtub, Monica leaned against the edge and half lay down, looking back lazily, saying, "I originally planned to let your group of children use it. But after thinking back, they probably weren't familiar with the fighting style of physical skills, so I gave it to you."
"Yeah... but it doesn't suit me either."
"Why?" Finally, there was something that piqued Monica's interest in the conversation.
Faced with Monica's gaze, Yanni asked seriously, "If activated, can the demon form of the protector be grabbed except for a fist?"
"Ah!" Monica shook her head. Yan Ni continued, "So, don't I have at least half of my skills that I can't use? Besides, although I don't always maintain the existence of my soul, the huge body of my defense function still semi forcibly reduces my available space. Moreover, I have always focused on dodging as my main defense topic, and excessive defense will only make me subconsciously lazy to dodge. For me, at most, this can be used as a toy to play with those little ghosts. If it's against opponents like the Black Sheep in the past, such props can be considered a burden."
"That's right..." Monica spread herself back to the pool and stared blankly at the ceiling. Yan Ni asked, "Can't we improve it?"
"At the beginning of forging, the method circle and the medicinal herbs added must be changed, and now there is no way to do it. Moreover, this is the first time I have made something similar, using Western spell knowledge and skills that I am not very good at. It cannot be compared with the completed product of the hero sword. This can only be considered as an experimental product, so I still prioritize safety."
"Really... what should we do then..."
"Let's treat Hanniel as a toy. Anyway, she still has a long way to go to keep up with you, so it's for her self-defense. It should be quite effective against perverts."
"Well, thank you first. Oh, by the way! You only know the Five Elements, how can you do this? Although you only know how to incorporate the Five Elements into alchemy, it's already so strong that it's chaotic." Yan Ni widened her eyes and looked at Monica.
A dissatisfied voice came from Monica's mouth: "Hey! I have lived for at least three hundred years, of course I know all kinds of knowledge. It's just that I'm quite used to using the Five Elements."
"There's a reason~" Yan Ni, who stood up from the pool, approached Monica step by step. "There must be a reason~"
Watching the approaching people, Monica couldn't escape in time. Yan Ni hugged the female vampire who was planning to escape from behind, tickling her while asking, "There must be a reason to only use the Five Elements! Tell me! Otherwise, I wouldn't have left here today."
"Say it! I say it! Don't scratch anymore... Hehe haha..."
On this day, the basement of the tower was undergoing a major cleaning. On the one hand, it is because the experiment of the Austrian side has come to a temporary end, and on the other hand, Monica needs to organize the information of the completed experiment for Weir. Of course, she also takes this opportunity to find some answers to her long-standing questions.
In a dusty box, Monica dug out many "ancient notes" and a strange set of clothes. The notes are filled with various strange symbols and lines. Monica tried her best to read, but only understood a small portion of the words, which had no effect on understanding the notebook.
The plain clothes were made of materials that Monica had never seen before, and the most unique feature was the ten pointed stars stacked by two regular pentagons on the clothes. Beside it were three symbols that I had never seen before.
"Teacher, what kind of clothes is this?"
Aofang, who was reminiscing about his notes, glanced at him and stood up in curiosity, walking over. "Where did you find it?"
After patting the open box, Monica said, "That's it. What does the symbol on it mean?"
"The ten pointed star of Zeus' scientific research, with its two pentagons representing the positive and negative elements of the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The characteristic of mutual generation and restraint is combined on one symbol, which precisely illustrates its uniqueness. Of course, there are many other meanings, so find other materials on your own!"
"Zhou's scientific research? So what is that?"
"That's... forgotten." The sentence was forgotten, but Aofang still had the same expression, stroking his head and smiling.
"Is that so? The five elements, positive and negative."
"Hahaha! Put it away! That piece of clothing seems very important to me." After speaking, he returned to his own pile of information amidst laughter.
Monica exclaimed and put the clothes back in the box. And for those unfamiliar materials, Monica is too lazy to understand them, because there are already many things that need to be solved by herself, so there is no need to add trouble!
At this moment, Wei'er finally brought in the information box that had been moved outside to organize and clean. "Miss Monica, the information here has been cleared. Where should I put it?"
"Oh~Let's put it on that end first! Wait a moment, I'll get you something to clear."
"Yes." The waiting command will not let Wei'er relax. She will enter a thinking mode on her own to try to connect the newly obtained data with the old data. After processing, various changes in memory data will be repeatedly tested to obtain more data. Suddenly, Wei'er asked a question: "Miss Monica, what are the basic elements of magic?"
"Well, haven't these been explained a long time ago? There's no consensus, anything can be used," Monica said while organizing her things.
"Unacceptable. Many elements have considerable overlap and similarity, and the composition of the same effect will exceed ten million with various practical techniques based on this foundation. Please inform us of the most basic elements, or prioritize the use of elements, with others to assist, in order to achieve better efficiency in operation."
"Is that right? That's right, I know everything. Later on, I got tired of thinking about what method to use, not whether I could achieve that effect. So... ah! The Five Elements! Positive and Negative Five Elements!"
"Positive and negative elements? There is no direct correlation information, please explain."
It's a bit difficult to suddenly ask Monica to explain something she doesn't even know much about. Monica just smiled and said, "There's no need for the five elements of positive and negative elements! Just remember the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Thinking too much may not be good."
"Understanding. Database correction..." Wei'er, who closed her eyes, emitted a faint red light from her eyebrows.
After seeing this situation, Monica just returned to her work and muttered to herself, "Well... in that case, just focus on learning in the future."
"Is that so~"
As the Countess, who had no intention of giving up, approached step by step, Monica quickly defended herself, "That's right! It's just that, it's just a matter of efficiency."
Sitting in the water, holding up Monica's arm, Yanni asked with a smile, "What is the ten pointed star of Zeus scientific research?"
Looking at that wicked smile, Monica sighed helplessly. "The teacher didn't say anything, I don't know if you ask me."
Compared to her fierce face just now, the smile now makes Monica feel a chill even more. Unable to bear the silent smirk, Monica could only vent her anger and say, "Ah! Anyway... I will always use the perspective of the Five Elements when casting magic in the future. As long as I have seen and felt it before, I can try it one or two times to roughly understand the principle and process of the magic. Then I can use my own methods to strengthen the magic, or use a more relaxed way to cast it. If there is no way, then I will simulate the effect of the magic based on my own knowledge, which may not be stronger than the original version. If it doesn't work, I will find other methods."
"Hehe~"
"Isn't this... these things that you all knew in the past..."
"Hehe~"
"What exactly does your smile mean?"
Forcing Monica to the corner, she leaned forward and withdrew, and Yanni sat back in her own position, suppressing her original smirk.
After finally breathing a sigh of relief, I heard Yan Ni ask another question. "In that case, you can even use the techniques of the pan healing system."
"Yeah! But I haven't done it before."
"Hmm~why?"
"Because I don't need it."
A sentence that was not far from the truth made Yan Ni feel powerless.
"I'm not interested in saving people either," Monica continued.
"Sigh~"
"But if it's a minor injury, I have a solution. If it's a bit more serious, I won't be able to do it without studying orthodox healing techniques. The magic I used to study was mostly offensive, and I haven't learned much about state based magic yet. Most of it was just studying magic templates passed down from ancient people and applying them to my own usage. Hmph! So, I haven't really studied magic that belongs to my own creation yet, it's all copied."
"No way!" Yanni looked up at Monica and said, "I haven't seen the Three Realms Oracle in any magic template before."
With a light wave of her hand, Monica smiled and said, "That's just a prelude to learning Jack's attack! If I had to say, its power is not as powerful as Jack's own hit."
"Jack? Which move?" Yan Ni showed a puzzled expression.
"Ah! Yes! You stayed in Platinum City before reaching the crater of the Lost Lava Forest. That was when you weren't there." Monica's expression darkened as she remembered something she didn't want to recall.
"That time..." Yanni was stopped by Monica before she could finish speaking.
"That time was about Jack's personal matter. If you want to know, ask Jack yourself. I don't want to think about that either..." She picked up water from the bathtub and sprinkled it on her face, looking at her hand. "Ah~My skin has become wrinkled."
