Chapter 110 Awkward Companion!
Of course, it's not that Antawana would be blown up, but given the opponent's character, she might take the explosion of the magic circuit as a trap laid by Vetter against her.
Uh...... wasn't without that possibility.
“What were you just doing?”
Meeting Antawana's suspicious gaze, Vetter feigned calmness and said, “Nothing, just testing the stability of the magic circuit to see if it would produce some unpredictable changes due to some movements around it.”
“What kind of changes?”
“Failure or explosion!”
In order to prevent it from being unclear later, Vetter deliberately added the word explosion.
Moreover, he deliberately placed explosion after lapse, invariably reducing its existence and making it a small probability event.
As expected, Antawana only frowned and did not question Vetter's previous behavior any further.
Instead, her attention shifted to the magic power circuit.
“Isn't this a magic formation? Why are you calling it a magic circuit?”
“You say this, the magic circuit plus the magic core is what makes a complete magic formation.
You should stay away from here for now, in a while, after injecting the magic core, you still need to test the stability of the magic array, there is a possibility of a huge explosion.”
Vetter was serious as he changed the blunder of engraving the magic array to an active test.
As expected, Antawana didn't get suspicious and turned around to fly towards the outside.
Seeing that the other party was far enough away, only then did Vetter begin to perform the final magic core injection.
Injecting the magic core didn't require any other tools, it was possible with spiritual energy.
Staring at the aquamarine crystal jar in front of him, Vetter secretly calculated the amount of magic core needed in his mind, then opened the jar, wrapped the liquid inside with his spiritual power to take out a ball, and then flew to put the lid back on.
With more contact with the air, the magic core would crystallize, and although the crystallized magic core could still be used, in terms of flexibility, it was much worse than the liquid form.
After putting the crystal jar away, Vetter manipulated his spiritual power and divided the mass of magic power core into twenty-seven equal parts.
This magic formation he was going to carve and paint was a twenty-seven node level four magic formation.
It was considered a lower class amongst the fourth level magic formations, that was why Vetter attempted to draw it, if it was a fourth level magic formation with thirty nodes or more, Vetter wouldn't even attempt it, preferring to choose a third level magic formation with a worse effect.
Injecting twenty-seven drops of magic power core into the location where the elemental nodes were located.
With a swish, Vetter disappeared into thin air.
By the time Antawana reacted, Vetter had already reached her side.
Glancing suspiciously at Vetter, she always felt that it wasn't like Vetter was testing, but rather like he was doing something that was already dangerous.
However, she didn't know much about magic formations, and the part about magic formations in the bloodline inheritance was only about the appearance of some magic formations and their effects.
As for the principles of magic formations, the way and process of drawing them, and so on, all of them were missing.
In fact, apart from the part of elemental magic, this was basically the case with the bloodline inheritance that involved other aspects of knowledge.
That was why the academy had courses that specialized in teaching young dragon potions, magic, magic formations, and alchemy, which involved specific operations.
Antawana made a decision in her mind that if she had the chance, she must learn the principles of magic formations.
Intuition told her that this guy Vetter was not honest!
Vetter didn't know Antawana's intentions, much less that the other party would make up her mind to learn about magic arrays for the sake of a tiny bit of intuition.
Otherwise, he would have risked being misunderstood by the other party and confessed his previous blunder.
Unfortunately, he didn't know!
Looking at the blue light that stabilized in reality and then slowly converged, a smile appeared on Vetter's face.
“Success!”
With that, Vetter flew towards the stronghold.
And Antawana, who had returned to her senses, followed curiously.
“So ...... what's the name of this magic formation, and what's its effect?”
“Water Elemental Shelter!
The twenty-seven node defensive median magic formation corresponds to the twenty-seven node defensive median magic, and the name is also Water Elemental Shelter.
The effect is to cut down the power of burst-type magic, and burst-type magic with a level lower than this one can't even exert a tiny bit of effect.
You should have heard of this magic before.
It is one of the more practical defensive magic among the water elemental median magic.”
Antawana nodded.
This magic was present among the bloodline inheritance, but ......
“What does twenty-seven nodes mean?”
Vetter froze for a moment, then remembered that the part about magic in the bloodline inheritance wasn't complete.
The Ancient Dragon Language was there, the Ancient Dragon Text was there, and the names and incantations of most of the magic corresponding to the attributes were there, but there was just no specific casting process or explanation of the magic.
So, that was the point of the existence of the Winters magic course.
And Antawana hadn't taken Winters' magic course, so naturally, she didn't know what an elemental node was.
Of course, it was possible to learn elemental magic without knowing about elemental nodes.
Only, in that case, the learning of elemental magic would be similar to shaping magic, repeating over and over again, failing over and over again, until one inadvertently corresponded to the correct steps of magic release, so that one could learn elemental magic.
Thinking of this, Vetter exhaled a spit at the ground, sealing the exposed magic formation, with a thin layer of ice, then he looked at Antawana.
“I think that it's necessary to test your abilities!”
Antawana frowned.
“What do you mean?”
Gesturing Antawana to follow him, he walked towards the outside, but with his mouth, he said, “You might get angry if I say this, but there are some things that are troublesome if you don't say them.
Uh...... how can I put it?
You might be weaker than I thought!”
Hearing these words, Antawana's gaze suddenly blazed, however, due to Vetter's previous padding, she didn't immediately lash out, but was prepared to hear, what exactly Vetter meant.
Seeing that Antawana didn't turn around and leave, while Vetter was slightly relieved in his heart, he hurriedly added, “When you learn magic, you should practice mainly, right? It's just repeating the training over and over again until you have mastered a magic.”
Antawana nodded.
“What's the problem?”
Vetter let out a bitter laugh.
“There are big problems!
But before I get to that, I need you to understand one thing, I invited you to go to Freedom City with me only with the idea of having a companion on the way.
I don't have any ill will towards you!
Also, the most important thing is that even if you don't want to travel with me, I won't lose anything.
Under this premise, I want you to make a choice now.
Trust me completely, or don't!
Now is the crucial time, and your level of trust in me determines what I say next.
Because, if you don't trust me, there are some things that I don't have to say!
So, make your choice!”
At those words, Antawana stared at Vetter for a while before speaking ......
“From the time I was saved by you and woke up until now, the things you have done, if it were any other dragon, it would be enough to gain their trust.
But I am different!
Since I was born, I have been struggling on the line of death, what I have encountered, what I have seen, if I were to easily trust it, I wouldn't even be able to live now.
So, even though you say so, it's still hard for me to trust you.
However, if it's something that can make me stronger, I'll consider giving you the maximum amount of trust.”
At those words, Vetter smiled.
“That's enough!
Then, the first thing I want you to do now is to tell me all the magic you have mastered.
I need to have a true understanding of your strength.”
Hearing this, Antawana's pupils, subconsciously, shrunk, then looked straight at Vetter.
“No wonder you would say something like that ahead of time, if I didn't mean to give you the maximum amount of trust, I would have turned around and left the moment you said that.
I suppose you wanted to know the level of my magic!
But, by the same token, how are you supposed to prove that after learning about my magic level, it makes me stronger?
Well, the method is actually quite simple.
All you need to do is to show me, your level of magic, isn't it?”
Vetter looked straight at Antawana and grinned at the corner of his mouth.
Of course he understood what Antawana meant, the other party didn't really want to know Vetter's level of magic, what she wanted to know was whether or not Vetter saw her as a dragon of her age!
Maybe it didn't sound like much, but for a dragon, it was a serious matter of dignity.
“If you want me to show you the level of my magic, I'm sorry, but I really can't.”
Antawana blushed, but she froze when she heard Vetter's next words.
“Because I don't know elemental magic at all!”
Antawana, who came back to her senses, was stunned, “You don't know elemental magic? How is that possible?”
