You guys really know how to play in the second dimension

Gilgamesh retreated, and until his breath completely disappeared, Patchouli exhaled softly, as if she was relaxing, and turned to look at little Ilia not far away, "Are you okay? You need me. Do you want to introduce yourself?”

"Ah... um, are you Miss Patchouli?" Little Ilia came back to her senses and looked a little reserved.

"Just call me by my name. We are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, so no honorifics are needed." Patchouli said indifferently, then she turned her upper and lower lips and said a few words of unknown meaning, and then she saw a piece of green flying out of the book. The leaves flew towards little Ilia's head.

Little Ilya blinked her eyes, a little nervous and curious, but did not resist. She let the leaf stick to her head, and she suddenly felt a cool feeling, just like bathing in the spring water in the mountains on a hot summer day. The same, even the pain in her body had been relieved to some extent, but when she reached out to touch it, she could not find the leaf.

"This is……?"

"Healing magic." Patchouli explained, "Although it cannot completely cure your injury, it can alleviate it to some extent, and... your current mode may be resistant to my magic. "

"Ah, that's right." Little Illya woke up, quickly landed on the ground, and retreated from the star girls. As the power of magic dissipated, looking at it this way, she was just an ordinary primary school student.

"It's amazing, it doesn't hurt at all." Little Ilia looked at her hands in surprise. She clearly felt extremely painful before even moving a little bit, but now it was almost the same as usual, "Thank you, that ...Miss Patchouli."

Patchouli shook her head, did not continue to correct her honorific, and said: "This is just a simple illusion. Just like the power you used before, the magic of life makes you not feel the pain, but the injury is You can’t recover all at once, so just take a good rest.”

"Yeah." Little Ilia nodded, looking around subconsciously, as if looking for something.

"He has already left." Patchouli knew what she was looking for. Looking at her slightly complicated eyes, she asked, "Do you want me to keep him?"

"Eh?" Little Ilia was stunned and shook her head quickly, "Um...Miss Patchouli, I'm very grateful that you can help me. Although I couldn't defeat him...it's really a pity."

"That guy is very strong. Although I have made full preparations before coming here, if we really fight, I am not sure of defeating him. He probably thinks so too, in order not to waste his strength on useless things. , so we retreated... Generally speaking, both sides have taken advantage, and being able to resolve it peacefully and avoid further conflicts is the best result at the moment." Patchouli said, she was not talkative. As a witch who spends more than 90% of her life writing magic books, to be able to explain so much is to treat little Illya in a new light.

"Yes." Little Ilia nodded, with a smile on her face again.

"Although I understand everything you said, but before that..." Suddenly, Ruby, who came out of the combined state, twisted her "body" as if she was worried about something, "Boss, can you first Have you withdrawn your magical powers? It looks very dangerous."

Following its words, little Ilia instinctively raised her head, and the corners of her mouth twitched... Well, if such a big sun fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Patchouli did not answer, but gently stretched out her hand. Then she saw the fourteen huge star gates turn back into stone shapes and fly to her hand again. Then, the huge sun and moon also It disintegrated in mid-air, turned into two black books, and got into Patchouli's sleeves.

Patchouli's magic is different from other magicians. She seals the magic in the book in the form of writing, and then uses the secret key to open the magic book to use magic. Therefore, if faced with an unexpected situation and lacks a magic book, her combat effectiveness will not be too high. Even if her own magic power is very sufficient, due to the relatively small power of attribute magic, it needs to be combined to achieve a powerful effect. The dependence on the outside world is relatively serious.

Just like the last time at Einzbern Castle, where after the transformation of the third method, all the magic elements were separated from the basis of reality. Outsiders like her could hardly sense the existence of the elements, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so , you will feel the pain when facing Souji Okita.

On the other hand, as long as a scholar-type witch like her is well prepared and not limited by the environment, she can still fight even against Jin Shining in serious mode.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t have an asthma attack.

"But then again, are you really a magician?" Ruby asked curiously, looking at the magic books one after another.

"Ruby!" Little Illya glared, "It's so rude."

"Oh, don't make such a fuss, Ilia, I'm just curious. After all, we have a close relationship with magic. And although this lady calls herself a magician, from what I know, But it seems a little strange... Well, I'm just asking casually, it's okay if you don't want to answer."

"Strange?" Little Ilia was puzzled.

Patchouli didn't care much and said calmly: "I am a magician, but I am different from the magicians in your world. In our world, magic is magic, and there is no distinction between magic and magic. The magic in your mouth is What we have there is just a performance barrier. To say it is strange... your world is truly strange. Regardless of the form and inheritance of magic, it goes against the common understanding... According to the concept of this world, it should be said It’s magic, right?”

"Even the magic in the air is so thin that it is unimaginable. In our world, even one breath can absorb a large amount of magic from the outside world and feel the existence of the great source. And this world... "Pachouli shook her head, "Even I have a hard time getting magic power from the outside world. I can't feel the source at all, which makes people wonder that in a few hundred years, the world will enter the Age of End of Dharma."

"I see, there is a Great Source in your world, no wonder." Ruby suddenly realized.

"Um..." Little Illya blinked, her face full of embarrassment, "What on earth are you talking about? Is there any difference between magic and magic? What is Dayuan?"

"Hmm, this is a rare opportunity, so let me teach you some more knowledge, Ilia, listen carefully." Ruby said in a show-off manner, "In the magic world, the source is the vitality that is full of the outside world, such as the planet. The vitality and vitality of the atmosphere are common to all human beings, and the great source of magic is also called aether. During the Age of Gods, the great source had not dissipated, and the whole world was filled with aether. Magicians... No, there was no magic in that era. Magicians are not masters, but magicians. Magicians can release powerful magic just by absorbing the magic power of the great source, just like this lady."

"But at the end of the Age of Gods, the Great Source dissipated and aether disappeared from the entire world. It was difficult for people to absorb the magic power of the Great Source from the outside world. They could only rely on their own small sources to use magic. However, the amount of magic power a person can hold is limited. , Therefore, except for the five major laws, other magics have all degenerated into magic, which is also the origin of magic."

"In other words, the difference between magic and magic lies in creation and use. Magicians can create large sources and absorb infinite magic power, while magicians can only use magic in small sources... Well, it is basically equivalent to the former being the world , the latter is a person, can you understand that?"

"Well..." Little Ilia pursed her lips and thought for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly lit up, "I understand, magicians are the bosses who pay wages, and magicians are wage earners, right!"

Ruby complained in a complicated tone, "Your metaphor is really fresh. You are worthy of being the successor of capitalism."

"Then, is Miss Patchouli a magician or a magician?"

"Well..." Ruby twisted, "If according to the concept of this world, she cannot create the Great Source, then she is a magician, but what she uses is exactly the magic power of the Great Source, and she also has the power of modern magicians. If you don’t possess the Great Source Magic Conversion Magic, you’re at least half a magician.”

"But then again, using the standards of our world to measure a person from another world is a bit overwhelming."

"Ugh..." Little Illya frowned, "It's so complicated. I really just want to be a magical girl."

"That's right!" Ruby cheered excitedly, "Magical girls are the best!"

"Although it's not good to pour cold water on you, but..." At this time, Sapphire's calm voice suddenly sounded, "Sister, Illya, have you forgotten something?"

"...Ah!" Little Ilia was stunned, and after a few seconds, she immediately exclaimed loudly.

Illya has been forgotten!

After a search, the two of them found Illya with two sticks on the edge of the castle ruins. At this time, Illya had fallen to the ground and lost consciousness. Berserker was not there either, probably because of losing Illya's demon sacrifice. The entity can no longer be maintained.

"I feel relieved." Seeing the green leaves gradually disappearing on Ilia's forehead, little Ilia said easily. The relationship between the two has not yet reached the point where they can get along normally, and the other party temporarily fainted. Maybe that's a good thing too.

"Ah, that's right." Suddenly, something seemed to ring out in little Ilia, and she raised her head and asked, "Miss Patchouli, um... if I remember correctly, you should have gone to the other side, why? What about showing up at my place?"

"Well, that was originally the case." Patchouli nodded lightly, "But when I arrived in this world, unexpected reinforcements appeared there. Tang Hao was worried that you might not be able to defeat Gilgamesh, so he asked me to go first. Come and take a look here.”

"Unexpected...reinforcements?"
