Indoors, the flame of the candle swayed due to Koizumi Hongzi's roar.
Chi Feichi waited for Koizumi Hongzi to finish yelling, then said, "Sorry, I just saw that you didn't even know whether you had cast magic, so I just wanted to tease you."
Koizumi Hongzi looked at Chi Feichi's calm face, and suddenly felt that her anger was suppressed, but it did not completely disappear. It made her uncomfortable. After a while, she slumped on the chair and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?" comminicate."
Next, Chi Feichi took Koizumi Hongzi and started a metaphysical communication experiment.
First, there is the contrast between the flames released by the two.
Without the need for instruments, Chi Feichi reached out and touched the fireball condensed by the two of them, and was able to determine that the temperature of the flame he released was about twice that of Koizumi Hongzi.
The flames of both are difficult to extinguish at first, but after burning for a while, they can be doused with water.
But in comparison, his flame is a bit more tenacious.
Secondly, is the way to release fire magic.
Koizumi Anko's fire magic comes from the conversion of magic power, mobilizing magic in the body, converting it into flames through specific methods and releasing it.
Chi Feichi's fire magic comes from the fire in the body. Since the transformation process is omitted, when the flame is condensed on a certain part of the body, it will be much faster than Koizumi Hongzi.
Of course, Koizumi Hongzi is proficient in the use of magic, and the time of less than one second is almost negligible.
When lighting a fire in the air, Koizumi Hongzi can delay the magic transformation process, just like a computer presets a certain program and acts on the candle. There is no need to worry about being exposed to the air and causing the flame to ignite in advance, but Chi Feichi The fire flame needs to reach somewhere from the object medium. If it is exposed to the air in advance, it will burn in advance.
"That's not right," Koizumi Anko threw the fireball in her hand and frowned, "The temperature of your flame is very high. When it travels through the table, it can burn the table. Since it can pass through the table without letting it burn, it means that the flame At that time, it is similar to a 'sleeping' state, so why can't we sleep in the air?"
"I have thought about this problem and found a way to solve it," Chi Feichi said, holding the body of the cup on the table with his right hand, passing a wisp of flame through the body of the cup and into the blood, "It should be a matter of proficiency. , there will be some subtle differences in the way the dormant flame passes through solids, liquids, and gases. Among them, it is easiest to pass through solids, followed by liquids, and the most difficult is gases."
"Whoosh!"
A ball of fire emerged from the blood in the cup and floated in the middle. It roasted the blood and gave off an unpleasant smell, but was quickly extinguished by the blood.
Koizumi Anko concluded, "In other words, you can only skillfully control the flame to pass through the solid before burning. There are still some problems with liquids. The method of passing through the gas without burning has not yet been mastered, right? "
"That's about it." Chi Feichi stretched out his hand and a ball of flame appeared in his hand. "The more you try, the more you will feel the difference between the flame burning in solids, liquids, and gases. If you try more, you should be able to solve."
"Then work hard on your own," Koizumi Hongzi asked expectantly, "What about the next experiment? What will be the next experiment?"
Chi Feichi put away the flame in his palm and floated his hand above the flame in Koizumi Hongzi's palm, "Absorb the flame."
Seeing the flame in her hand twisting, Koizumi Hongzi got into Chi Feichi's palm, with a complicated look on her face, "Can you absorb the magical flames released by others?"
"Isn't your magic good?" Chi Feichi took back his hand and asked.
"Of course not. Flame is a very powerful attack magic. When others release it, it is an attack on themselves. There are ways to extinguish the magic flame, but..." Koizumi Anko paused, touched her chin and said, "No, Wait, I remember there seems to be a way in forbidden magic to absorb other people's flames."
A ball of fire appeared in Chi Feichi's hand, and he stretched out towards Koizumi Hongzi, "Try it."
"Well, wait..." Koizumi Hongzi took a deep breath, stared at the flames in Chi Feichi's palm, stretched out his hand, but before his fingers got close to the flames, he retracted, silently raised his eyes and said to Chi Feichi, "Your fire is too hot. Can you make it a little smaller?"
Chi Feichi withdrew most of the flame, leaving only a trace floating above his hand.
Koizumi Hongzi's expression became serious again, and she reached out to the flame.
One second, two seconds, five seconds...
Half a minute later, Koizumi Hongzi retracted her hand in annoyance, "No, I can't absorb your flames. Doesn't this mean that you will not be hurt in my fire magic, and you can also absorb my flames. I am in your fire magic." The inside will definitely be burnt, it’s really unfair!”
Chi Feichi: "After absorbing your magic flame, my fire will recover a little faster. Absorbing ordinary flames has no such effect."
Koizumi Hongzi: "..."
Is the Son of Nature showing off?
Chi Fei saw Koizumi Hongzi's half-moon glance at him and explained, "Have you ever thought of a tactic? You first release a large-scale magic flame to burn the enemy. Before your flame magic goes out, I will absorb your flames." Entering the body, it can transform your flame into a flame with twice the temperature at almost zero consumption..."
Koizumi Anko understood and stood up with bright eyes, "Burn the enemy again?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Correct."
"It's amazing to think about it this way. I must try it another day..." Koizumi Hongzi was excited, but suddenly she couldn't get excited anymore. She sat down and picked up the cup to drink blood with a melancholy look on her face. "But, ordinary people can't let it happen." If we burn it twice, I can burn the other person. If we burn something, my flame cannot burn the steel, and yours can only burn the steel red. If I burn it once and you burn it again, the effect is almost the same. It is better to let I use dissolving magic. As for the Holy See, they might have some holy objects such as light magic. You only have fire magic now. It’s still too reluctant to deal with them..."
"Don't count on me. Every time I talk about going to the Holy See to fight, the crystal ball predicts that I will die miserably. It can't predict how I will die. Just like this time, you have I didn’t receive any news about the new ability before. I asked it to be calculated based on twice my ability, and the result was the same. In other words, within ten or twenty years, it would be too much for me to defeat the Holy See alone. I can only watch your growth..."
Saying that, Koizumi Hongzi cheered up again and said, "But you are growing very fast. Maybe in a year or two, we won't have to be afraid of them!"
"It's much better now than before." Chi Feichi said.
"Yes," Koizumi Anko nodded with emotion, "You are indeed a child of the gods. Your growth this time is really amazing. In terms of fire magic, you have surpassed me all of a sudden!"
Chi Feichi added, "If you are caught by the Holy See and burned at the stake, I can absorb the flames and save you from leaving."
Koizumi Hongzi: "..."
This assumption is not pretty at all.
"Actually, what determines success or failure is not only the strength of magic, but also tactics, or..." Chi Feichi added, "If Umbrella can make a mushroom bomb, it can easily defeat them."
Koizumi Anko nodded speechlessly, "That's right. Ordinary people's technology is still very scary. What can kill them can also kill us."
"Ordinary people will not cause trouble for us if they are not provoked. The biggest hidden danger now is the Holy See. Of course, they can also use technological weapons to deal with us." Chi Feichi paused and looked at Koizumi Hongzi's serious eyes. , "Before that, I want to confirm whether there is anyone like me in the Holy See."
"Same as you..." Koizumi Hongzi's face turned pale and she looked down at the cup on the table, "You are so suspicious because the crystal ball cannot calculate the specific situation, right? However, the crystal ball also said before However, there is no one else in this world except you and me..."
"Now ask the crystal ball, can it predict my existence?" Chi Feichi interrupted.
Koizumi Anko was silent for a moment, "No need to ask, I'm afraid it can't be done now. It can see less and less things related to you. It's also difficult for me to see your daily life through the crystal ball, but, but like this If so, doesn’t it mean that there is a terrifying guy in the Holy See who grew up earlier than you, perhaps before I was born?”
"It doesn't have to be humans," Chi Feichi said, "You also said that after the Holy See massacred witches and wizards centuries ago, it collected many treasures, and they themselves also have some that are called holy objects. There is nothing before the Dharma Ending Age.”
"This is also possible," Koizumi Hongzi's face looked much better, "If it is an item, it would be much easier to deal with. Maybe we can also snatch their things and use their things to deal with them, An. Has Brela Blue Umbrella collected similar intelligence?”
"They have been collecting, but what they use communication tools to communicate is not important. The core people are still using the traditional communication method of person-to-person communication. It is difficult to collect important information from the technology back then," Chi Fei paused for a moment. , with a calm and serious expression, "It's not possible to send an informant. You know how scary religion is. I'm worried that the informant will be brainwashed and switch sides, which will expose our existence. Joshua may be able to do it, but... I'm not sure he can handle it yet." We must have survived the brainwashing we once believed in. Now they should not have discovered our existence. Otherwise, with the tyranny of the Holy See, they would have come to our door a long time ago. Now we are in the dark. This is an advantage, so I think it is not wise to send out spies now. .”
Koizumi Hongzi sighed, "If the Holy See can live in harmony with us, I don't want to fight with them."
Chi Feichi took out a cigarette and bit it, letting a wisp of flame pass over and lighting the cigarette butt, "I am not the same."
When religion develops to a certain level, speakers and high-ranking officials will receive higher treatment than emperors among believers. Not only will they be respected and supported, even if the demands are unreasonable, a single 'oracle' can solve most of the problems. It's hard to question.
But he really has no interest in developing religion. Otherwise, he would have shifted his focus to the Natural Religion long ago and would not have left it to Joshua to develop it at will.
After all, there are many ordinary people in the world who are not so fanatical or loyal to religion. They still prefer to engage in technology and make money. This is the lifeblood of ordinary people. If we really can't build two more buildings, then they are real things.
It's just that they are willing to live in harmony with the Holy See, but the Holy See may not be willing.
"But that's impossible," Koizumi Hongzi thought for a while, and said softly with a serious look, "Even if we join the Holy See, they will make us recognize their teachings and we must become a part of them. You are okay, you If I join them, I might be regarded as the most important core by them, but I can’t, I will never forget the disasters my ancestors suffered, I will not join them, let alone recognize their teachings!”
