Chapter 858 Flame
Although Takashi Murakami is a little dishonest, he is secretive in what he says, and he always looks like "I have a lot of secrets, come and ask me", but he is right about one thing.
The magic house is indeed very short of resources right now.
What is most lacking is money and construction materials.
Because the entire island is made of special materials, there is no breath of "life" at all, but this does not trouble the wizards.
In the subject of herbalism, ordinary wizards can only plant flowers and prune branches at home, but experts can turn the entire steel giant into a world of flowers.
Unfortunately, the herbalist at Hogwarts was happily using the little wizards to help make a new batch of dragon manure and had no interest in coming to Neon.
The magic house can only rely on itself.
All the little wizards have been sent out to find work, and in the land of Neon, spiritual masters are quite popular. In addition to normal priests, witches, monks, and spiritual mediums, all kinds of people except spiritual masters are very popular. The office is also doing brisk business.
"Common supernatural events are generally caused by ghosts, but with the development of science and technology and the development of cities, a kind of supernatural events that were once relatively rare have a tendency to increase." Murakami Takashi pointed to the printing paper in his hand and said, "This Such supernatural events are called urban legends."
Hermione blinked, "A ghost story with an urban setting?"
"Ah, that's right." Murakami nodded, "After all, many things do happen in the city. In order to cater to the tastes of young people, ghost stories are the most popular."
Hermione flipped through the booklet bound with printing paper in her hand, still puzzled, "But isn't our mission in Neon to deal with mysterious people? Why solve these supernatural incidents? Of course, if it is to help If a magic school is built, I can treat it as an exchange for accommodation fees, but no matter what, it seems like we have to spend our own money to investigate and then give the money we earn to the school, right?"
That's right, no matter which commission it is, it doesn't seem to be something that can be solved on the same day. In this case, they would have to live near the place where the incident occurred and investigate at close range. It might take several days, just for accommodation. The cost of meals is not a small sum.
"Ah, have you considered the issue of food and accommodation?" Murakami Takashi showed a stunned expression, "Don't worry about this."
"What?" Hermione looked at him doubtfully, "Well, I didn't just mean that, I wanted to say... Well, I don't see the need for us to participate in these commissions? Is there any information hidden? ?"
Murakami scratched his head and hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry about food and accommodation. We are spiritual exterminators with professional certificates and can get free food and accommodation anywhere in Neon." Yuko said with a smile, "As for the hidden information?"
She glanced at Murakami Takashi and ignored his wink. Instead, she said bluntly, "The mysterious man has been dedicated to hunting down spirits under Neon. The school directors believe that if they receive enough commissions, there will be Maybe meet him."
Murakami was like a deflated ball and couldn't help shouting, "You shouldn't have said it directly!"
Yuko patted his head and consoled him, "We need a little trust. Even if this information is not revealed by us, they will always be aware of it."
Murakami became even more depressed. He ran to the side and drew circles in frustration.
"There are many spiritual beings in this land." Yuko introduced, "Because the suicide rate in our country has always been very high, and the police rarely investigate the cause of death of the corpse carefully, and many people have lingering grievances after death. This is why As a result, the formation of spirit bodies becomes more frequent.
"Unfortunately, the newly born spirits don't actually have much power, but as time goes by, the magic power of Neon's native land will make them stronger. At this time, the idea of becoming stronger will fill their minds. Consciousness, under the control of instinct, they will attack other beings similar to them, which is the devouring of ghosts.”
"Devouring other souls?" Hermione frowned, a little disgusted.
"To be precise, it's a spirit body, not a soul." Yuko corrected.
Hermione was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Don't you mean the same thing?"
Yuko shook his head, "No, it's not the same. Everyone has a soul, but not everyone has a spirit body. Well, to put it simply, the spirit body is stronger?"
She used a question, but her expression was really serious.
Hermione and Robert looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Such a term doesn't exist in corrupt countries." Robert shrugged, "We all call those ghosts."
Yuko blinked and said matter-of-factly, "This is normal. Although the Kingdom of Fu has the most powerful wizards in history, many pure-blood wizards have no intention of changing and still try their best to prevent the opening of the spiritual world."
Murakami Takashi couldn't help but complain, "Do you know what our first feeling was after arriving in the rotten country? It's like people living on the open prairie were suddenly locked into a 30-square-meter rental house. Don’t you think that the magic power there is so lacking that you can’t use magic to create special effects?”
"We are wizards." Robert sneered, "Why don't you go shoot special effects films if you like special effects so much?"
Murakami Takashi said righteously, "If it weren't for the lack of money... Yuko, I was wrong. Well, I became a wizard for my dream!"
"The magic in the air?" Hermione was a little confused, "What is that."
Murakami pointed to the ground, "You can try it."
Hermione wondered, "Try what?"
"A magic spell." Murakami Takashi explained, "Well, just a... fire-making spell?"
Hermione looked at him doubtfully and recited a spell, the one she used most often, the Blue Bellflower Fire Charm.
This is a variant of the fire-making spell. You can change the content of the spell according to your own preferences, thereby releasing a flame. Hermione's flame can be said to be her signature. Not only is the flame a beautiful bright blue, but also The shape is also different from common flames, like a blooming bluebell.
"Huh?" Hermione, who had already mastered this spell, noticed the difference in an instant. In fact, even others who didn't know much about this spell were a little emotional.
After all, making a bunch of bluebell flowers out of fire would be pretty magical no matter how you think about it.
On the slightly thick and straight stems, there are more than a dozen flowers that look like small copper bells. They are bright blue and seem to be swaying in the air with the wind.
Although it is very beautiful and cute, its temperature should not be underestimated. After just a while, the four of them felt a hot breath blowing against their faces.
