Secretary of the Devil's Castle

Thinking of this, Fatalia walked around the piles of debris and saw Flora's figure. At this time, the latter was angrily lifting a box in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are these garbage piled up?" Everywhere!"

Fatalia: ...

Now she really wants to take back that impoliteness just now.

Chapter 28 Magic Research Society

"that……"

After turning out a table from nowhere, and then pulling out a few chairs from nowhere, Flora breathed a sigh of relief, then motioned the three of them to sit down, then pushed her eyes and tried to put on a serious look. Wang Zi said, "Are you here to join the Magic Research Society?"

"just looking."

Fatalia originally wanted to come over to see what was going on in the Magic Research Society, and she didn't have much idea of ​​joining the club, but after seeing the situation here, Fatalia completely stopped the idea of ​​joining the club.

Although she doesn't like judging people by their appearance, this place really looks like it has no future at all...

At this time, Marianne also poked Flora's face with a look of resentment and said: "Sister Flora, if you want to recruit newcomers, you should clean up the activity room first, and recruit newcomers. It doesn't look attractive, so how can it attract newcomers? If it wasn't for the fact that I've been paying attention to clubs related to magic research, I wouldn't even be able to find my senior!"

"Eh? Well, I can't help it either."

Flora pushed her glasses nervously and said, "I don't know how to clean up, and no one has come to help me yet."

"What about the rest of the community?"

Fatalia raised her chin and asked, "I remember that there should be at least three clubs in the school?"

"other people……"

Flora's eyes drifted away subconsciously, "Nothing..."

Fatalia: "Huh?"

"That's the one……"

Flora subconsciously matched her fingers: "I was the only freshman who joined the club in that section, and after the senior sisters and seniors quit the club, I was the only one left. I haven't recruited anyone this year, so...there is no one left. "

"I see."

Fatalia nodded, then stood up resolutely and said: "Thank you, senior, for clarifying my doubts. Now I don't have any doubts. I hope we will have a chance to meet next time."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Marian quickly reached out and hugged Fatalia's waist to prevent her from leaving, "Fatalia, wait a little longer, senior sister! Hurry up and think of something that can attract people to stay!"

"Ideas that entice people to stay?"

Flora immediately hugged her head and frowned, thinking, "Idea, idea, idea...ah, I thought of it, then...our association has a subsidy!"

"……How many?"

Although she didn't like the grant from St. Raideys College, Fatalia asked for the sake of the confidence of Flora-senpai, and then she heard Flora say with a proud face : "There are five silver coins!"

Fatalia: "...Marian, let me go, let go quickly."

Five silver coins?If there is no problem with Fatalia's memory, then the normal society subsidy should be around ten gold coins a month, the minimum will not be less than five gold coins, and the upper limit can reach thirty gold coins, and now Flora The five silver coins in his mouth...is this simply sending someone away?No, with the integrity of the Holy Light Theocracy, it shouldn't be...I'm afraid Senior Flora didn't pay for it herself!

In fact, the Magic Research Society is about to close down, right?At this time, the only remaining members are looking for new members to perform on stage to revive the club's reputation?

What kind of classic Japanese manga youth plot, but Fatalia has never experienced this kind of plot. After all, the national conditions are different. The high school she attended, let alone a club, had a physical education class purely because of the college entrance examination. Although the university There is such a thing, but she is also busy with her studies and has no time to worry about related things.

Even now, she is not very interested, and she is still standing here purely because of the pendant on her body, "Marian, let me go."

Marian flopped twice like a fish landing on the shore, hung on Fatalia firmly and said, "No! Sister Flora, it's up to you to change your fate against the sky!"

"Ah—? Changing fate against the sky? What?"

Flora immediately stretched out her hand nervously and shook it in front of her face twice, then took out a small box from the pile of sundries beside her and said, "That, that! Anyway, do you want to come and see my invention? "

"invention?"

Fatalia stopped moving again, and looked down at the small box in Flora's hand.

"exactly!"

Flora immediately nodded repeatedly, and then lightly pressed the small box, "Look, if you open it like this, then shake it again, wait for three seconds, and it will..."

Before she could finish speaking, the box in her hand exploded with a bang, and a large amount of smoke spread rapidly from it, quickly covering the entire room, and then dazzling flashes or flinching fireworks spread in the fog, forming a Scenes of gorgeous scenery.

But Fatalia didn't pay attention to the scene. She turned to look at the place where Flora was originally sitting, but it was now covered by thick fog.

Did she just explode after using that prop for exactly three seconds?

The first thing to be clear is that although there are delayed casting spells and similar magic props, this kind of magic skill is very advanced, and if you want to have a similar effect in the magic circle, you need a lot of additional magic circles. The total amount of magic power is definitely not what the rice grain-sized magic power contained in the box in Flora's hand just now can do.

How did she do it?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Marian coughed from the puff of smoke, as if she was choked by the fog, "Senior Flora, which magic item is not good for you to use, if you want to use this thing, you should stay indoors! Holy...cough cough Cough! Holy Light, choking me to death! How can this kind of thing attract others?"

Fatalia snapped her fingers, a gust of wind emerged from her fingertips, and then turned into a gust of wind within three breaths and swept away all the mist in the room—by the way, the dust that was originally everywhere in the room was also removed. Cleaned up together.

Then, under Marianne's surprised eyes, Fatalia looked at Flora with unprecedented seriousness, "Senior Flora, how did you make that...invention that delays casting? As far as I know, None of the current magic items—except those of ancient civilizations—can delay casting with such a small amount of magic power."

"Huh? Are you interested?"

Flora's eyes lit up immediately, she patted her undeveloped breasts proudly, looked at Marian and said, "Look, Marian, who said my invention won't attract people?"

"Yes yes yes, Flora-senpai is the best."

Marianne finished speaking in a good tone, and then turned her head to look at Fatalia, "Fatalia, don't be attracted by this little toy, I'm very embarrassed."

"To be precise, this magic item is really meaningless."

Fatalia rubbed her chin and said, "It seems useless, but I am very interested in the technology behind it. No, I am very interested."

"That's the one you just said... Delayed casting?"

Marian pinched her hair with a puzzled expression, "Although it's great to hear what you say, is this technology really that important?"

Fatalia stared at Marian for a while, and then sighed helplessly, "This is the difference in focus, or it should be said that Marian has no reserves of relevant knowledge at all."

"What are you talking about, I'm..."

Marianne immediately puffed up her face, but Fatalia raised her hand and interrupted her before she finished speaking, "Don't rush to refute, I also know that you are not very interested in magic items and the like. I'm not very interested. It's normal not to know this knowledge. I didn't mean to make fun of you. After all, I am far behind you in knowledge related to divine arts. This is an objective fact. Let me explain again if I know this premise. First of all, the magic item of Senior Flora has delayed casting when it is used. Marianne, you may not know it, but in fact, the magic item that can achieve the effect of delayed casting has quite complicated magic circles inside. It is necessary to have a considerable supply of magic power, and Miss Flora really simplified... No, judging from the fluctuation of magic power, it should be said that so many magic circle structures have been completely cancelled. I am really curious about this How it was done."

If you can know it, it may be another huge breakthrough in analyzing the spell model.

I really didn't expect to have such an encounter at Saint Radius College.

Flora opened her mouth in surprise, she also did not expect that the technology she accidentally discovered would be so highly regarded by others, she scratched her cheek in embarrassment, and then said: "That... ...In fact, there is nothing complicated. If the general delayed casting is to build a spell model, it is to describe the magic circle on the magic props, activate and maintain the magic circle, and finally release the magic. In order to achieve this purpose, quite a lot of other things will be set up. The magic circle is used to block a certain link. As for my magic item, the principle is completely different, it does not block the process, but... um, prolongs the process itself?"

"Prolonging the process itself...?"

Fatalia was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously bit her finger and thought about it, and soon she knew what was going on through Flora's follow-up explanation.

If you compare the release of magic to downloading things from the Internet, then the delayed casting of other magic props is to press the pause button, and Flora's delayed casting is to cut your internet speed and let you download within a certain period of time. Can't finish, can't release this magic.

Then this is interesting, just a few short breaths, Fatalia's mind is full of various props for applying this technology, most of them are sharp weapons for war, full of love and peace ... Fatalia immediately shook her head and threw these fantasies out of her mind. Only now did she suddenly realize that her own thoughts seemed to have been greatly affected. In the past, she certainly would not have been full of war in her mind.

This is not such good news.

"Ah, so it is."

Marianne nodded with a clear face, but she couldn't hide the bewilderment in her eyes: "I completely understand everything!"

What do you understand? !

Fatalia wanted to complain subconsciously, but she still held back her words, and she said weakly: "Don't worry about whether you understand or not... Senior Flora, I want to join the Magic Research Society, what procedures do I need to go through?" ?"

"Are you going to join the Magic Research Society?"

Floran subconsciously repeated it, and then realized what Fatalia said: "You want to join the Magic Research Society! Good! Well, there is no process to go, you just put this Just fill out the form, and then I'll hand it over to the teacher in charge!"

"Okay, I'll be fine soon."

Fatalia glanced at the membership application form in her hand, then turned to Favna, "Do you want it, Favna?"

"Where the master is, I will be there."

Favna said calmly, and went to get an application form as well. At this moment, Marian clapped her hands suddenly, "Ah, speaking of which, I haven't joined the club yet!"

Fatalia subconsciously stopped writing, and looked at Marian with a slightly strange look, "So you didn't join the club."

"What, Fatalia, you just said that you are looking for an interesting agency【>+

Marianne touched the back of her head in embarrassment, then pinched a strand of hair in front of the ear with her right hand and twisted it around her fingers, saying, "You just said, let me find a club, but you didn't say let me join... right? "

"I really know how to make excuses."

Fatalia said this lightly, then hit her on the head with a hand knife, and then handed the application form to Floran.

When writing about something, Marianne suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, Fatalia, why did you suddenly decide to join the Magic Research Society? Didn't you leave in a hurry just now?"

"Because I found what I wanted."

Fatalia rested her cheek and said indifferently: "The Magic Research Society didn't attract me at all before, but now it has, and it is something that attracts me very much."

"Senior Flora's knowledge of delayed casting?"

Marianne also filled out the application form, and while handing the form in her hand to Flora, she said, "I really don't know why, Fatalia, you want to learn and know so many things."

"Knowledge does no harm."

Fatalia rested her cheek and said calmly: "Although not all knowledge can be seen where it will be useful, there is no harm in learning more, and this is something that can be seen at a glance."

Marianne nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense, but I won't listen!"

The corner of Fatalia's mouth twitched immediately, "You deserve to be so stupid."

At this time, Floran didn't care about the little episode between Marianne and Fatalia, she just held the applications of the three people and showed a happy smile: "Hey, the club members tripled in an instant! That's great Already!"

Sighing, Fatalia didn't bother Marian anymore, but looked at Floran, "Please give me more advice, Miss Floran."

(Debt repayment: 1/13)

(This number is recalculated from the original word count according to the 4K chapter, don't worry, there is no shortage)

Chapter 29 Ah, like Eddie?

"Senior Floran can actually be said to be very talkative, but she is very shy, somewhat similar to Patty. But perhaps because the erosion of the abyss has affected her thinking, occasionally...or most of the time, she seems a little Childish, but she is indeed a very talented person. Apart from the technique of delayed casting, Senior Sister Floran is really good at inventing magic props, but her inventions are always a little... weird.

"For example, the small box she showed us at the beginning was essentially used to stir up the atmosphere at the banquet, but obviously Senior Sister Flora didn't consider how to deal with the follow-up smoke, but for the sake of saving resources , the smoke is essential again - achieving the same effect without the smoke would require some more advanced materials.

"For another example, what she made later... can be said to be similar to chemical fertilizers. Because the extract of mandrake is used, the plants using this fertilizer will show a part of the mandala. Nature, such as having a human face, like to cry, etc. But frankly speaking, excluding these negative effects, most of Flora-senpai’s inventions are still very useful—probably.

"Patty later joined the Magic Research Society with us, and brought Leo and Elisha along with us. The number of people, and they didn't seem to have the intention of joining the Magic Research Club, but it seems that because they don't like other clubs, it is more convenient to simply join a club where a friend is.

"It is worth mentioning that Senior Sister Flora has a wide range of knowledge, not only the magic theory necessary for making magic props, but she also knows a thing or two about other fields that magic props will involve. In fact, Pa One of the reasons why Dee joined the Magic Research Society is because Senior Sister Flora also has a lot of research in the field of plants—otherwise, how could she come up with the magical fertilizer made from mandrake extracts, and Patty happens to like related things.

"By the way, we also met Flora's younger sister, my classmate Ariel, but we didn't talk too much. In fact, she only came to the activity room once, and she didn't talk much during class. , always looks mysterious, this is probably because she has dealt with Abyss before. Because she has dealt with Abyss before, she feels that she is different from the people around her... Both inferiority complex and superiority are barriers Reasons to stop interacting with others.

"I'm not interested in her psychological problems. First, I'm not a psychiatrist, and I'm not in charge of similar work. Second, I'm really busy recently, and I don't have time to cultivate new relationships.

"Joining the Magic Research Club, about Senior Sister Flora's research and inventions, and more importantly, tidying up the room. Of course, there is the college competition that must not be forgotten. Speaking of which, it will start soon, just today."

"Diaries, knowledge, some formulas, memos, current plans, and some miscellaneous thoughts and essays."

Fatalia said lightly, then stood up, stretched her waist vigorously, completely showing her beautiful figure, and made Marian's eyes look straight, it's a pity that our lady saint hasn't had much time to appreciate it , Fatalia put on the school uniform robe draped over the back of the chair, completely covering her body.

Immediately, Marianne threw her face on the table and sighed in disappointment.

"What a good sigh."

Fatalia straightened her robe, then went to the window and opened it, and the fresh air filled the whole room. At this time, the activity room of the Magic Research Society was not as messy as before, just like a garbage dump. There is a long table in the middle of the current activity room, two rows of cabinets are neatly arranged on both sides, one row is full of densely packed books, and the other side is displaying some decorations and small boxes made by Senior Sister Floran. Toys, including but not limited to medicines that make people have constant stomach troubles but are also constipated at the same time, combination locks that can make the parties physically and mentally exhausted when they go home, six-wheeled vehicles that are pedaling hard but are fuller than people walking—the last one Fatalia did not understand Floran's idea after studying for a long time, but inspired by her, Fatalia remembered that there is such a thing as a bicycle.

Taking a deep breath of the morning breeze with a little flower fragrance coming from outside, Fatalia looked a little relaxed, "The weather is really nice today."

"Yeah, once the sun shines, it's much darker than a race."

Marianne let out another long sigh, and her whole body looked limp.

"Okay you."

Feeling a little funny, Fatalia walked over and patted Marianne on the shoulder, "Hurry up, they are probably waiting there."

Marianne still looked weak: "Okay..."

I can't remember how excited I was before.
