Chapter 118 Want to learn? I'll teach you. (4K)
The elves are a race that loves art.
Despite growing up on a deserted island, Avina and her two companions were not lacking in this kind of influence.
After getting slightly tipsy, the three began to sing and dance.
The melodious and moving songs lingered on the riverbank, and graceful figures danced under the moonlight.
It was as if a banquet had been held.
They even choreographed a dance on the spot based on the movie they had just watched.
However, once Levindil and Ferendil had drunk a bit too much and were a little tipsy, the two brothers began to lament Avina's cruelty.
They said their sister treated them like slaves.
They usually have no one to talk to, but this time, with guests coming to the island, they finally have someone to confide in.
Of course, the main reason was that he was drunk.
Avina was speechless, her hands clenched into fists.
Xu Yuan burst into laughter.
"Remember to go easy on me when you hit me."
The next day, Avina and the other two dragged him around the island.
They acted as if they wanted to do their best to be good hosts.
From their treehouse to the most scenic spots for panoramic views; from the island's delicious fruits to the streams where you can catch fresh river fish.
It was as if she wanted to tell him all the delicious food and fun places on the island all at once.
Along the way, we passed through one place after another.
Xu Yuan could almost see their simple, unpretentious, yet lonely lives over the past few centuries.
Time flies.
A few days later, Xu Yuan prepared to leave.
There's a delicious fruit on this island, and it's currently ripe; he wants to take some with him.
Are you leaving?
Avina and the other two had expressions of disappointment on their faces.
"Yes, I have other things to do, I should go."
"But...but...right, right! Magic! I haven't taught you magic yet! Aren't you going to learn?"
Avina's eyes lit up, and she quickly said.
"That is indeed a problem, but I can't stay here and focus on learning magic." Xu Yuan smiled slightly. "So I'm going to take you all with me. What do you think?"
He could sense their longing for the outside world.
In the past few days, whenever he mentioned things outside, they would always show a look of longing.
He also occasionally shows signs of wanting to say something but holding back.
At the same time, he could also sense their attachment and reluctance to leave this land beneath their feet.
After all, they were born and raised here.
They longed to leave, yet were filled with reluctance and found it difficult to make a decision.
"But—" Avina hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Xu Yuan shook his head: "There's no 'but' about it. You can't beat us, so you have no choice but to come with us."
Upon hearing this, the three siblings widened their eyes simultaneously.
Then suddenly I felt a wave of relaxation wash over me.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about that then!" Avina said happily. "I'll go get ready!"
After saying that, she hurriedly left with her two younger brothers to pack their things.
"Are you going to take them away?" Theresa asked.
Xu Yuan nodded: "When Avina agreed to teach me magic, she didn't make any conditions."
"They treated me with kindness."
"And I was just helping them with a small favor, which is not even a reward for teaching them magic."
"Besides, this saves more time."
the other side.
Avina and her two siblings rushed back to their treehouse as quickly as possible.
Then I started packing my luggage.
We'll take this with us, and we'll take that with us too.
This, that, this, that —
After finishing the tidying up, they practically moved the entire treehouse away.
And clearly, they themselves knew that this was not quite right, so they had to start simplifying again.
Even so, they still managed to pack up several large bags.
Many of the things inside are actually useless; it's just that we can't bear to part with them.
As they carried their bags and stepped out of their homes, looking back at the treehouse behind them, they all felt an indescribable sense of reluctance.
However, they managed to suppress those emotions.
Then he turned around and walked to a quiet place not far from the treehouse.
There, all sorts of flowers were planted.
These were all things their mother liked when she was alive.
Flowers bloom in profusion, surrounding a grave where the parents of the three siblings are buried together.
After offering a solemn prayer according to the customs of the Elven race, the three stood before the grave for a long time before whispering, "Father, Mother, we are leaving now."
"Avina/Levin/Fernando are leaving here to see the outside world."
"Father, Mother—"
The three siblings bowed respectfully once more before leaving, turning back to look at each other every few steps.
The lonely grave, once surrounded by blooming flowers, became desolate.
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains and fields.
The vines hanging from the tree swayed gently in the wind.
It's as if parents are waving goodbye to their children who are about to embark on a long journey.
"Is everything ready?"
Looking at Avina and the other two who had returned, Xu Yuan asked.
"Okay." Avina nodded, then looked at the large packages her two younger brothers were carrying and asked somewhat apologetically, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
"It's alright, I can fit it. However, my storage space can't hold things from this world, so you'll have to carry them yourselves if necessary."
"That's only right."
-
"Alright, let's go then."
The group headed towards the seaside.
Once they reached the beach, Xu Yuan took out the submarine.
Looking at the strange-looking lump of metal in front of them, Avina and the other two asked curiously, "Is this... a ship?"
"It's called a submarine," Xu Yuan said. "You can think of it as a ship that can dive into the sea."
"Submarine?" The three repeated the word, which wasn't in Elvish, their curiosity growing.
Indeed, the outside world is different!
Upon entering the submarine, Xu Yuan assigned them rooms.
Although it is only a small submarine, it still has a crew of twenty or thirty people.
There are only a few people, so the rooms are enough.
After settling their luggage and curiously looking around their room, Avina and her two companions, with Xu Yuan's permission, began to explore the submarine.
To satisfy their curiosity, Xu Yuan specially had Xiao Ya operate the submarine to dive.
Then they were allowed to observe through a photoelectric periscope.
Although the images they saw were thermal images, they were still greatly surprised.
Avina exclaimed, "I've heard my mother talk about ships that can dive into the sea, but those were all achieved through protective shields. This is the first time I've ever heard of a ship that can dive into the sea without relying on any magic!"
Sailing is a tedious and boring thing.
Especially when you're in a submarine.
Military submarines like the one Xu Yuan has don't have portholes or anything like that.
Riding it is similar to living in the hold of a ship.
If you want to go out for some fresh air and feel the sea breeze, you have to go outside the submarine.
Although there are many entertainment activities available for leisure.
Mahjong, poker, chess, video games, movies, TV series, anime, novels —
But Little Crow has to operate the submarine.
Xu Yuan often studies energy and techniques.
The cabin was cold and deserted.
Now that there are three more curious babies, it's suddenly become much livelier and more vibrant.
Xu Yuan would occasionally join the others for some entertainment, but he spent most of his time studying the magic that Avina taught him.
So much so that Avina always felt a deep sense of guilt whenever she played cards, chess, or mahjong with Theresa, feeling that she was being incredibly decadent.
"I think I should learn something!" Avina said.
Theresa, fiddling with the game controller in her hand, casually remarked, "Don't feel pressured, Xu Yuan is just too stubborn."
Sitting next to her, Avina, who was also holding a game controller, shook her head and said, "No, you should still learn something. At the very least, you should learn the language and writing system you use, shouldn't you?"
"Language and writing?" Theresa looked at her suspiciously and said, "You don't mean you want to learn them so you can understand TV dramas and movies, do you?"
After all, the "True Meaning" divine art has its limits.
It only works when there is face-to-face communication.
"Of course not!" Avina said righteously.
Theresa shook her head, somewhat amused.
This reaction is tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.
Which one do you want to learn?
Which one?
"One is the language I use now, and the other is a language called 'Chinese'."
Are there two types?
"Chinese is the language of Xu Yuan's hometown, and Shuguang Island is now promoting Chinese."
"Oh, then I'll learn Chinese."
"In that case, you'll have to go find Little Crow."
Why?
"Chinese is too difficult, I'm not very good at it."
"I don't like Xu Yuan's pet. Let's stick with the kind you're using now."
"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time. Actually, once you've mastered this language, you can watch the instructional videos on the computer and learn Chinese on your own."
"This is good. Ah, I lost."
Ten days later, on a deserted island.
Surrounded by onlookers, Xu Yuan gently swung his sword.
Several flaming arrows instantly formed and shot out.
Immediately afterwards, he casually slashed the ground.
Walls of flame rose from the ground, radiating intense heat.
At the same time, a ring of flames formed around Xu Yuan and rapidly expanded outwards.
Avina looked on in shock: "You've learned all of that?!"
That's way too fast!
My mother always said that elves are born magicians.
Now, she suddenly had some doubts about that statement.
Xu Yuan did not answer Avina, but instead demonstrated earth magic such as rock spikes and rock walls.
To be precise, this can't really be called magic.
Because he didn't use magic to cast the spell.
Therefore, it might be more appropriate to use the broader term "magic".
After the demonstration, Xu Yuan said, "The power is too weak."
It's not even as good as his fireball spell.
Oh, no, that wasn't a fireball spell.
After coming into contact with authentic magic, Xu Yuan quickly realized that what he was using didn't seem to be a fireball spell.
No wonder the system made me name it back then.
Avina said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Xu Yuan was taken aback and said, "You misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
This is not Avina's fault.
Elves are naturally drawn to magic, but which type of magic they are drawn to is random and has nothing to do with genetics.
Avina's mother is a light magician.
If they hadn't been stranded on a desert island, her mother would naturally have been able to obtain some powerful fire and earth magic for her daughter.
But they were trapped on a deserted island, isolated from the world.
All Avina's mother could teach her were some basic fire and earth magic.
This was only because she was very knowledgeable.
Otherwise, how could a light mage like her know anything about fire and earth magic?
"Although the power is weak, these spells have been quite inspiring to me," Xu Yuan said.
Avina shook her head: "You don't need to comfort me."
Xu Yuan chuckled and said, "I wasn't trying to comfort you."
"For example, both are fire magic, so why is the attack speed of Fireball spell so ordinary, but the attack speed of Fireball spell is so fast?"
"Because the magic structure of rocket spells includes a component that utilizes the explosive force of flames for propulsion and acceleration."
Fire Wall, Fire Serpent, Fire Ring —
"Although these spells are not very powerful, their structures are all commendable and can inspire me."
"This is what I've shown you today."
""
After saying that, Xu Yuan extended his hand.
As he circulated the fire-attribute energy within his body, a short flaming spear, about half a meter long, appeared in his hand.
Avina looked surprised.
She sensed an energy fluctuation from that short gun that was no weaker than Xu Yuan's previous fireball spell.
No, it's even better.
Xu Yuan held the flaming short spear in a daze and casually threw it in a certain direction.
He disappeared after dropping the pistol.
A distance of one kilometer can be covered in an instant at several times the speed of sound.
With a loud "boom," the open space in the distance suddenly exploded.
A violent surge of energy swept across the area in an instant.
Everything around was swallowed up and burned into vapor.
The terrifying heatwave distorted the air violently.
Even from a kilometer away, everyone could still feel the terrifying heat emanating from them.
"W-What kind of magic is this?!"
Avina said, somewhat dumbfounded.
Xu Yuan stroked his chin: "I call it Divine Shot."
After saying that, he looked at Avina and smiled, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."
Avina:
No way! I've only been a teacher for a little over ten days, and now I'm about to lose my job and become a student again?!
She and her two younger brothers couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Are elves born magicians?
What about Xu Yuan?!
Starting one day, Xu Yuan noticed that he was encountering more and more ships.
Of course, he simply noticed the other person.
After all, the radar and sonar on modern submarines are not just for show.
Xu Yuan only encountered some sailboats.
It was just some merchant ships and fishing boats.
Fishing boats are the main type of vessel.
There were only some ordinary fishermen on the boat.
He spotted them long before they did and dived into the water.
Therefore, no ships spotted them.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Xu Yuan decided not to surface and instead sailed underwater.
Using technology ahead of its time, they approached the land undetected.
"We're almost there." Xu Yuan glanced at the map. "The War-Torn Continent should be just ahead, though the exact location might be a little off."
After all, it's unlikely that you'd sail 10,000 kilometers and arrive at that port exactly on the same spot.
Moreover, the port is crowded with people and shady dealings.
To log in, you definitely need to choose a place where there are no people.
Xu Yuan isn't stupid; he would never go to the port.
Anyway, let's find a place to land.
