Pyroxene is not precious. Xia Lan bought it in a gem and mineral store. Then she returned to the dormitory and sat on the sofa to study it.

…

"How should I say..." Xia Lan looked at the little blue-green starlight on her hand and fell into silence.

This starlight began to expand as he gradually input energy, and eventually turned into a complex irregular crystal, and then exploded into a violent mist, which was completely wiped out by him.

It took him twenty seconds to complete the connection with the "star" and imprint the magic symbol on the back of his left hand.

As long as he thinks about it, he can awaken it and use it to use star magic. It is very direct and simple.

But correspondingly, after he finished imprinting it, he could clearly feel that it had an "expansibility", as if it was alive and trying to erode his body.

"It seems that this spell is quite powerful, but it's a pity that I'm not human." He sighed, opened the book again, and immediately planned to learn the "Selian Meteor".

He is a pervert who has many skills but does not overwhelm his body.

Time passed quietly while learning spells, and it was at this time that Skadi and Ghost Shark encountered the first thing in their journey.

Desert outside Victoria's southeastern border.

The ghost shark stood on the roof of the car, blowing the dry and desolate land breeze, looking at the storm in the distance, while Skadi drove the car worriedly.

"How about it, can you avoid it?"

The ghost shark on the roof sighed, shook his head and said: "We can avoid it, let's turn 90 degrees to the right now."

When Skadi heard this, he did as he was told, even though he had a headache.

After turning the corner, they were almost driving in a direction parallel to the national border, which would directly add several days to their journey.

Ghost Shark easily rolled in from the car window and said with distress: "It would be great if Xia Lan's car wasn't broken down, otherwise it would be able to easily overcome this storm."

"What is that?" Skadi asked, tilting his head.

"It is a thing that allows vehicles to fly close to the ground, almost ignoring the unevenness of the ground. The maximum speed can reach more than 300 kilometers per hour, and we can reach our destination in two days." Ghost Shark explained.

He said with a look of regret on his face.

"It's a pity that it was destroyed by the enemy during one of my missions, and then I killed all those people. I originally planned to torture them first."

"That's indeed hateful." Skadi could only agree.

Although when she was with Xia Lan, she would kill anyone who got in the way as efficiently as possible, but now after staying on land for a while, she didn't want to kill people without saying a word.

Of course, having grown up under Agor's military education, she is not a kind person. If the other party wants to get in the way again, she doesn't mind using more force.

The difference between tearing apart flesh and blood and tearing apart a piece of white paper is whether it will stain your skin and clothes.

The ghost shark sensed her thoughts and sighed softly: "My little killer whale, do you think I am too cruel to the land people?"

Skadi hesitated for a moment, and even though he knew what the ghost shark was thinking, he nodded slightly and responded: "Yes."

"But, this is also the cuteness of you." Ghost Shark was not angry. Instead, he came over and touched her hair.

After casting a strange glance at the ghost shark beside him, Skadi continued to concentrate on driving without saying anything else.

The storm reached its strongest state at dusk, and then gradually weakened, unable to catch up with them.

The two of them had remained silent during this period, trying to figure out each other's thoughts with their bloodline emotions.

If you have anything you want to say or have any doubts, just wait until you have free time to talk about it... then there will be enough time for them to focus on each other.

…

After Xia Lan had dinner, she went shopping in the elegant atmosphere.

In addition to teaching, this city is extremely rich in research resources, and its economic system is also quite complete, able to fully achieve internal circulation.

And because this is Victoria, the central hinterland of the continent, it has the resources of countries in all directions, and its commercial prosperity on the surface is not inferior to that of Longmen.

"Scones?" Xia Lan saw a word on the sign of a dessert shop and roughly spelled out its meaning, so she couldn't help but walked over curiously.

Qinliu quite likes eating such sweets?

He bought one and accidentally saw a girl eating other snacks casually using magic. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Is it possible to freely use magic anytime and anywhere here?" Xia Lan expanded her perception curiously, and then 'saw' the traces of magic scattered gorgeously throughout the street.

When he didn't pay attention at first, he thought they were the dissipated energy left by high-level facilities, but he didn't expect that more than 90% of these were traces left by people using spells.

"It's quite interesting..." He smiled slightly, then let go of the hand holding the bag, and wantonly aroused his magic among the crowd.

The snack he just bought flew to his mouth, and he took a bite gently. While raising his brows slightly, he tried to share this feeling with Skadi on the other side, but he received a complaining cry from her.

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

"No, we encountered a natural disaster in the afternoon, and we are trying to stay away from it. We haven't had time to stop and eat yet."

He listened to Skadi's complaints, then felt her empty stomach, and mischievous thoughts arose in his heart.

She shared her feeling of fullness with her, causing her to fall into a world of ice and fire.

"Humph, I'm ignoring you!" Skadi cursed lightly, and then refused the interview.

Xia Lan, who was walking on the street, couldn't help but laugh softly, took another bite of cake, and continued walking on the street full of students.

There may be couples, or close friends, or there may be a group of big brothers joking and laughing together. It seems like they are going to have a dinner somewhere?

In this city, there is less strife in the world of Terra and more joy and relaxation like the campus life in his previous life.

"Is this one of the reasons why I chose a university as my destination? Is it because I miss my hometown?" he said to himself, but in the end he still didn't know.

…

(Actually, it’s just because this is the center of the continent, a city far away from the ocean. After all, I’m just being sentimental)

…

At around nine o'clock in the evening, after washing, Xia Lan sat on the soft and comfortable big bed and tried to visit Skadi in her heart, but she didn't expect that she still refused to visit and didn't know what she was doing.

But from the perspective of emotional perception...she seems to have quite a lot of mood swings now, and they are all positive emotions, so he is not too worried.

After some guessing, Xia Lan then opened the book she borrowed during the day, sat cross-legged on the bed and started studying.

Learning purely from books is still difficult for him, and its descriptions are different from the regular textbooks he has studied, so his progress has always been quite slow.

The entire spell model alone occupies six or seven pages, which shows its complexity.

The actual effect of this spell can fully reach the level of a fifth-level spell, but because of the huge energy and energy consumption, the actual combat effect is not satisfactory.

And because of the recognized dangers of "Star Magic", it became an ordinary book in the library and was not taken seriously.

From this aspect, the knowledge contained in the library of this university is really very vast, and even fifth-level spells can be placed on ordinary bookshelves at will.

However... Xia Lan was warned by the librarian when she was borrowing books, saying that she practiced this book to death every three years, but the school ignored it over and over again, and even put the book back.

In situ.

This world has never been a greenhouse, and it will never become a greenhouse.

Even in the world's most advanced universities, the "ten-year survival rate" of students majoring in combat does not exceed 50%.

And now Xia Lan seems to be in danger of "training to death".

As his understanding of "Se Lian Meteor" gradually deepened, the magic symbol gradually grew and began to erode the surrounding flesh and blood.

According to the book, it is necessary to limit the spread of this magic symbol and guide it to grow the core lines corresponding to the magic. As long as it succeeds, the most important step in learning that magic has been completed.

"Tsk, it really hurts a bit." He clicked his tongue, and then the stars in his eyes that had been silent for a long time suddenly lit up, emitting a faint shimmer.

The veins of magic symbols that had just spread evaporated completely in an instant, and only the bunch that was on the right track was preserved.

Expand, prune, expand again, prune again...

Twenty minutes later, Xia Lan erased all the new connections on the symbol in the previous second, completely blocking it.

Its growth stopped and it stopped moving forward.

"That should be fine, it's not difficult~" He chuckled, lay down on the bed, closed his already sore eyes, and tried to call Skadi again.

But access is still denied.

"What is this guy doing? Is he still sulking?" He muttered, then closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

…

At the same time, the two people who just stopped stiffly started moving again.

The car parked under the starlight shook slightly, announcing the specialness of what happened inside.

The scattered white hair hugged their bodies, and the lingering blood pulse became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for them to calm down for a long time.

In this rich atmosphere, the ghost shark touched Skadi's cheek lightly and said with inexplicable regret: "There are only two of us left..."

Scarlet-cheeked Skadi looked at the face of the ghost shark above and was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

At this moment, she suddenly thought of their two captains. Although Xia Lan kept telling her that they should still return, she also blindly believed in this...

But...she has never felt their presence, not even once.

She hesitated for a long time before replying: "But I feel... the captain and the others should still be alive."
To be continued...
