Xia Zhi didn't think about how much joy Index's unexplained disappearance would cause in her world.
The Puritan Church of England and even the entire magical side suddenly became nervous...
Academy City was innocently accused of a heavy blame...
He just embarked on a journey with Vivian and began to travel throughout the Fairy Country to witness the customs and customs of this fantasy world with his own eyes, to personally measure every inch of the British Island, and to deeply explore the actual appearance of the Fairy Country.
This truth-telling is necessary and meaningful.
Because for Vivian, this personal experience is far more vivid and detailed than any hearsay or book records.
As for Xia Zhi, he can also have a more intuitive understanding and understanding of this British fairy country, without being unclear or confused.
Finally, for Index... emmmmm, maybe it means eating a variety of ingredients from the Fairy Kingdom and experiencing different specialties from different places? I guess for the little nun who is a foodie, this is the core value of traveling to the Fairy Country.
Of course, there is actually another deeper meaning -
For example, as this journey gradually deepens, Index will confirm Xia Zhi's previous statement bit by bit, and find the most critical piece of the puzzle for that statement that is neither completely true nor completely illusory.
All in all, she would soon realize that this was indeed the British Isles, but at the moment it was ruled by a fantasy race called goblins, and it was no longer the familiar world she remembered.
In this way, it is undoubtedly consistent with Xia Zhi's previous explanation.
At the same time, some things that seem unreasonable to Index, whether theoretical or real, can also be attributed to differences in the world. If she doesn't believe it, let her explain.
It is like providing an all-encompassing container, and any part that needs explanation can be put inside... This is also the strategy adopted by Xia Zhi, and it is the best for a smart little girl like Index. Cope with it.
…………
Why are all magic theories different?
——Of course it’s because the world we live in is different now.
Why are there such huge differences in the world?
——Who knows this? No one can figure out what is going on.
Why did we end up in this strange world?
——That’s a great question. In fact, I’m thinking about this question myself.
…………
That's basically it.
The main focus is on kicking the ball, and the focus is on deniability.
Anyway, you should never try to explain this issue. Instead, throw the question back to Index and let her figure it out on her own. She has a rich imagination in her mind, and she will be able to explain herself soon.
There is no need to demand perfection in all the details, as long as you find the core key and grasp the main contradiction, mature victims will deceive themselves.
This method is obviously easier and more convenient than Xia Zhi's painstaking efforts to weave complex lies, and then having to create more lies to make up for the lies.
The innocent little nun didn't know the dangers of the human heart. In such a situation where she was deliberately calculating and unintentional, she was naturally easily led into the rhythm.
She had long been caught up in the opponent's rhythm without realizing it, and the sugar-coated bullets from the opponent were really irresistible. For example, the way the two treat her every day is both cordial and respectful.
He never asked her harshly what she had to do, and never strictly asked her what she couldn't do. Such warm care was as pleasant as the spring breeze.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the daily food supply is extremely generous and rich, and Index will never go hungry.
Even when they arrive at a camping site, the first thing on the team’s list is hunting and gathering.
This is to ensure that the little nun has adequate food stocks and prevents her from encountering any food shortages.
How should I put this? It is simply the decisive hand of God——
Surrounded by such warm and subtle tenderness, the little nun's few wariness naturally quickly dissipated...

The territory of the Fairy Kingdom is not very large. After all, there is only one British island.
But to say it is small, it is not that big. Especially without convenient means of transportation, traveling around the entire island is not a task that can be completed in a short time. No matter how smooth it is, it is estimated to take several years. , more than ten years.
After all, this is not just about walking over, but about conducting as detailed an exploration and in-depth investigation as possible, so that we can truly grasp the actual appearance of the Fairy Country.
But on this point, neither of them had any opinion.
After all, Vivian is patient, and Xia Zhi is even more impatient.
One is a born immortal, a fairy sent by the Inner Sea of Stars. Its understanding of time is completely different from that of mortals. Hundreds and thousands of years are just dust in the process of achieving the goal in her eyes, and she has been mentally prepared for this.
Although the other one still retains human normality on the outside, his inner concept of time is more distorted than that of the immortal species. Even though it seems that he has returned to the normal flow of time at this moment, the twisted view of time has long been deeply imprinted in his heart.
Therefore, the two of them coincided with each other and happily accepted the arrangement of this long journey, viewing the long-term travel as a good opportunity to improve themselves.
The purpose of traveling and surveying is to investigate and understand the situation in the Fairy Kingdom, and to improve oneself is to have the capital to do things in the Fairy Country... No matter how you look at it, the Paradise Fairies seem to be on the opposite side of all fairies.
Therefore, Xia Zhi resolutely set his ultimate vision as "rebellion."
The main purpose is to destroy the existing order of the Fairy Kingdom and reshuffle the cards. From this goal, it is not difficult to understand what level of strength their team needs to have to achieve the goal.
It is conceivable that the current situation of the team of three and two big cats and kittens...
It is still too far away from this goal.
Therefore, the top priority is to improve strength.
…………
In a clearing among the woods.
Numerous towering trees clustered around the quiet clearing, densely shaded and leafy, closely covering the forest, blocking most of the scenery outside, leaving only a sliver of sky above.
"You can start now, try to move first... move your fingers, try to control this level of reflexes, and then try to control more body parts..."
The silver-haired little nun stood in the open space, giving instructions with concentration and skill. She soon frowned again, and her childish face showed a trace of trouble.
"Why is there no response? Can't you hear what I'm saying? Do you want to break away first and try to merge again?"
Directly in front of Index, there was no one else, only a primitive doll standing silently.
It is obvious that the production of this doll is not very fine. Its skin has not been carefully polished and modified, and only the rough outline of the human shape is retained, especially the joint bearing part. It sits on the ground, leaning against a big tree, maintaining a fixed posture.
No matter how hard the little silver-haired nun tried to wake it up, the doll never moved.
No reaction at all.
"Woo..."
Index seemed a little frustrated, and then she heard a faint voice coming from behind her, as if she had expected it——
"Failed?"
At some point, Vivian quietly appeared behind the little nun. She looked at the doll with soft eyes, tilted her head slightly, and her golden twin pony tails hung down on both shoulders.
"Yes, it failed... The puppet last time could still be controlled, but this one didn't obey the orders at all." The young man squatted next to the puppet, as if his figure suddenly appeared, and as if it had always been there. .
He sighed and traced circles on the ground with his fingers, as if searching for the answer to his question.
He stretched out his fingers and hit the doll's head several times. The dull sound of impact echoed in the air, and Xia Zhi began to think seriously.
This creation was originally intended to be used as an experimental carrier, preparing to serve as a substitute body for him, a "homeless wandering soul," so that he could attempt "body possession" at any time.
——Although the appearance of this doll is not good, it is not important at all.
——Because according to Vivian, as long as necessary, these dolls can be made to be indistinguishable from real people...literally no different from real people.
Xia Zhi naturally believes in this, especially during the recent period, he has also devoted himself to studying the art of puppet magic. As his studies deepened, he gradually understood the fundamental concepts behind this magic.
The so-called "doll magic" on the surface appears to be the technology of making, repairing, and manipulating puppets. In fact, the core concept involves the concept of magic that imitates the human body, and is the pursuit of the mysterious reproduction of the physical prototype.
Of course, climbing to the level of restoring the physical prototype will undoubtedly require a lot of time and energy, and this is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Although Vivian said lightly that "it seems very simple" and "I am sure"...
However, Xia Zhi still doesn’t expect too much for the time being, and focuses on a pragmatic attitude that just works. Although he also likes to equip his characters with cool and beautiful skins when playing games, he usually only enjoys it after entering the middle and high stages of the game.
As for the early stage...that's not of any use.
"At least the path of puppet magic is still feasible..."
Vivian was not surprised or disappointed, and said calmly.
Speaking of this, the girl casually cast her gaze at the slightly rough doll, and then quickly looked away, but there seemed to be an imperceptible smile hidden deep in her pupils:
"It's just that it seems I still have to use my method to make it work."
"It seems like this..."
Standing up from the ground, Xia Zhi spread his hands and admitted the girl's statement.
"Then let's use your method, Vivian."
Based on the analysis of the current situation, the girl's specially adjusted reconnaissance magic must be integrated into the doll's core spells. In this way, she can maintain a certain level of magic perception without the need for direct intervention.
This further enables the ghost of Xia Zhi to retain a moderate power of real intervention in the virtual state.
Although it still has great limitations, it seems to be the most suitable solution at present. After thinking about it, Xia Zhi simply stopped worrying about it. In short, let’s solve the problem of whether or not first, and then consider the pros and cons.
Naturally, this kind of plan that still tied Vivian to some extent and involved distracting the girl's energy would not really satisfy him.
So Xia Zhi made up his mind to continue studying until he completely solved this problem——
Give Vivian a surprise then, she will definitely be very happy.
"Then I'll make a few more sophisticated dolls for use first. When I have the conditions, I'll try my best to make some more advanced ones..." The girl nodded, then turned around and left, "Let's go get something to eat first. , we are about to enter the territory of the Winged Clan."
"Um……"
Xia Zhi reached out to pick up the experimental puppet on the ground and put it on his shoulders. At the same time, he sighed with emotion that he was finally entering the territory of the Fairy Clan again.
Again, the Fairy Country is not big, but it is not small either.
There are only a few clans that divide and rule the territory. In fact, most of the places are still unopened primitive wilderness, a wilderness with few human traces. The three of them had been wandering around unknowingly for more than half a month, and they had hardly encountered other fairies.
Firstly, it’s because I don’t walk very fast in the first place, I just stop and go; secondly, it’s also because the density of goblins in the goblin country is really not very high.
After gathering his thoughts, he looked at the little nun who was following him and found that she was unhappy.
He rubbed Index's head and messed up the silver hair: "It's time to eat, why aren't you happy?"
"Well... I feel like I'm so useless..." The silver-haired nun had a distressed expression, as if she was depressed because she was of no use to her.
"This has nothing to do with you, it is a problem with the world itself. The magic theories you are familiar with may not be completely universal..." The young man smiled and comforted, "But there are many that can be used. you forgot?"
"Um……"
The little nun nodded dullly, as if it was not easy to figure it out.
"Speaking of which, the idol theory seems to have some effect, right? If I use this theory to create a magic doll, can it greatly enhance the performance of the doll?" Xia Zhi coughed, asked a question directly, and tried to divert Indy Kesi's attention.
After this period of persuasion and self-persuasion, "Catalogue of Forbidden Books" has begun to cooperate very cooperatively in performing the functions of a magic teacher, but she cannot be easily attacked.
"Hey, this...this...maybe? What are you going to do?"
Index thought for a moment and answered somewhat uncertainly.
She was already aware of the unique laws of this world, so after thinking about it, she still did not make a hasty judgment.
"Anyway, it's all about making dolls. If I can use the idol theory to make the dolls into those legendary images, can I theoretically share part of the power? In this way, wouldn't it greatly strengthen the doll's strength? Performance?"
The young man seemed to have an immature idea, and said enthusiastically: "For example, if I make a puppet in the image of the Monkey King, even if it cannot completely replicate those magical powers, there should still be a part of it, right?"
"This... is theoretically possible? But you have to try it to know..." Index subconsciously felt that it was unreliable and answered in a low voice.
"Theoretically, if it's possible, it's worth trying. You'll know when you take a look."
Xia Zhi was in a good mood and strode forward——
"If it can be successful, is it possible that the doll has its own skills? For example, the first skill is to pluck hair and become a clone, the second skill is to move in all directions with somersault clouds, the third skill is to have an indestructible golden body, and the fourth skill is to have insight... "
"Why is the fourth skill Insight?"
The little nun expressed doubts about this, even if it was really possible to succeed: "Shouldn't it be a golden hoop?"
