Chapter 9

"Whoosh—"

The free magic in the atmosphere was still scrambling to surge into the wind blade, seemingly a hundred meters was far from its limit.

Lin Yu came back to his senses, hurriedly closed his mouth, interrupted the spell, and at the same time reached out toward the terrifying wind blade in front.

In an instant, the hundred-meter-long wind blade collapsed downward, turning into a magic torrent that surged into Lin Yu's body crazily.

After all the magic constituting the wind blade was absorbed, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's already downgraded, how is it still so exaggerated..."

"Look on the bright side, at least you can release magic."

Flamme withdrew the shield and smiled: "Next, as long as you find a way to suppress your magic affinity, you can use magic like an ordinary mage."

"That's true!" Lin Yu was invigorated again.

Just as he intended to continue asking for other magic, he suddenly discovered that Flamme's eyes seemed to be a bit too enthusiastic.

After a little thought, Lin Yu understood Flamme's meaning, so he shook his head and smiled: "I know what you are thinking, no way!"

"I was able to enter this world as a result of compromise with the world itself. As the price for successfully entering here, I cannot leave this forest, let alone kill the Demon King for you."

The enthusiasm in Flamme's eyes faded slightly, turning into disappointment.

So that's how it is. No wonder Lin Yu never left here. She thought Lin Yu was worried that he was too powerful and every move would bring terrifying natural disasters to the outside world, so he stayed here...

Lin Yu smiled: "Of course, if you can lure the Demon King here, I don't mind solving him for you."

Flamme's eyes lit up first, but soon sighed: "To be honest, I really want to do that, but it's a pity that this forest is located on the border east of the center of the Unified Empire. If the Demon King is lured here, it is equivalent to abandoning all living things in the entire north."

Lin Yu spread his hands: "Then there's no way~"

Flamme shook her head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, at least I know now that even the Demon King cannot cross this forest, which can be considered good news, right?"

Four months later, the quiet two-story pavilion in the forest had turned into a stone castle covering an area of over a thousand square meters.

The giant crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters in front of the stone castle was now filled with clear water, turning into a lake.

On the shore of the lake, the giant horned beast, over thirty-five meters long and covered in thick earthy-yellow scales, lay there, napping while enjoying the pleasure of magic surging into its body.

On top of the giant horned beast's head, the youth in a black robe sat cross-legged on the smooth and warm scales, holding the scripture in his right hand, constantly communicating with the free magic in the air.

With the cheering influx of surrounding magic factors, lines of text gradually appeared on the blank pages of the scripture.

Unlike the magic rune-like text of this world, these characters were square and upright, with all four corners complete, steady and dignified, and were exactly the simplified Chinese characters Lin Yu brought from another world.

Since discovering that the performance of magic on Lin Yu was too exaggerated, Flamme converted her teaching ideas, starting to abandon practice and starting from theory, letting Lin Yu understand the principle of magic composition first.

Thanks to Flamme, Lin Yu came into contact with the highest and most essential knowledge of magic from the beginning.

This unique teaching method led to his initial learning becoming somewhat difficult.

But fortunately, after passing this period, Lin Yu's magic attainments began to advance by leaps and bounds.

To this day, he not only learned how to restrain spiritual power and magic but also, relying on the magic knowledge he mastered in his mind, reversed and compiled his own scripture magic with scripture runes as a medium.

Before long, Lin Yu opened his eyes, looking at the scripture filled with Chinese characters and smiling.

"Engraved another page!"

In this way, his scripture had a full thirteen pages, getting closer to the grand goal of filling the scripture!

"New magic again?"

A voice of curiosity came from below.

Lin Yu turned his head and saw a figure leap up from below, leaning over to his side and looking with great interest.

"Let me see, hmm, what's written are allusions to Zhuangzi and Liezi. What about the spell and effect?"

"Liezi rides the wind, cicada molting without a trace, borrowing shadows in the void."

"Amazing!"

Flamme let out a sincere exclamation.

Lin Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's not me who is amazing, but the Goddess who gave me the scripture."

"These scripture magics are nominally created by me, but in fact, I just moved the stories from my previous life over and roughly planned the direction of the magic. As for what magic can be compiled, I actually don't know."

"Look, just like this magic, other effects are my credit, only this elemental magic that scatters into wind blades is an unknown magic that even I, the creator, can't figure out the principle."

Flamme said: "That is the power possessed by the scripture itself."

Lin Yu nodded, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

The scripture is indeed convenient in creating magic, but this setting that magic must be hidden in stories is too redundant.

If he didn't remember the myths and legends of various countries in his previous life, he would have spent at least ten times the current time to engrave a page.

"Now this Destruction Scripture has thirteen pages, barely a semi-finished product."

Flamme smiled and said: "How about it, do you want me to help you preach?"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes: "What Destruction Scripture, I don't remember ever giving it that name."

Flamme didn't speak, directly flipping through the first few pages of the scripture.

"【Gonggong Touches the Pillar】, which can tear the earth and shake the mountains, 【Hanba Descends to the World】, which can raise the air temperature in a large area and scorch the earth for a thousand miles, and 【Nine Heavens Gang Wind】, which can summon dozens of hundred-meter hurricanes and easily destroy a small country..."

"Look at these magics yourself. If the scripture recording these magics isn't the Destruction Scripture, what is it?"

Lin Yu coughed twice and explained: "This can't be blamed on me. If you want to blame someone, blame this scripture. I'm just a porter of myths. These large-scale magics were all created by it itself."

And Destruction Scripture is too ugly!

Even if it had to be named, it should at least be the Demon God Scripture?

Hmm, the Demon God of Dimensional Demon Gods!

Lin Yu thought so in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "As for preaching or something, it's unnecessary. I don't need faith, and this scripture is not written in the common language of the continent. I estimate that only you in the whole world can understand it..."

"That's true."

Flamme nodded with a smile on the surface, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Having stayed here for four months, she finally decided to officially leave this forest.

The only problem was how she should tell Lin Yu this news...

Just when Flamme was hesitating in her heart, Lin Yu glanced at her, suddenly threw the scripture in his hand over, then stretched lazily, and said with a smile: "Before officially leaving, trouble you with one last thing."

"Go find me another scripture, and I'll give this one to you for self-defense!"

Flamme subconsciously caught the scripture, looking at Lin Yu with surprise.

Lin Yu said regretfully: "It's a pity that time is not enough, otherwise the number of pages could be increased."

Flamme lowered her head, looking at the scripture in her hand and asking:

"... When did you see it?"

"From the time you went out frequently last month."

Looking at the silent Flamme, Lin Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I expected this day to come long ago!"

"Human lifespan is limited. You have a grand ideal of changing the world and cannot stay in this forest forever."

"Although I really want to forcibly keep you, that would lead to me losing a hard-won friend..."

Flamme's fingers gently brushed over the relief on the cover, suddenly her mouth curled, she raised her head, and looked at him with high spirits: "Sure enough, I still couldn't hide it from you."

"Of course!"

Lin Yu smiled and said: "How long do you think we have been together?"

Hearing this sentence, Flamme was stunned again, then smiled lightly: "Lin, as an eternal existence, you are really completely different from my stubborn and awkward elven teacher!"
