Chapter 352: 352
As a woman who once stayed in the royal palace, she had received an education before she became the queen . She knew when she should keep a man company, and when she should give him time and space to mind his own business .
A long trip could be boring most of the time . The beautiful scenes out there would become monotonous as time went by .
In the end, Andonara had no choice except to stare at Roland’s face . Then she discovered, to her surprise, that it was a good way to kill time, because Roland’s face was never monotonous for her .
At this point, Roland didn’t know what was going on at all . He could hardly perceive the carriage anymore .
When one was fully focused, they tended to forget everything around them . That was Roland’s situation .
The spell models of elves were very different from those of human beings, which were made of nodes and lines . But the elves’ were made of complicated overlapping circles .
Roland pictured the spell model in his head and did not invest any magic power, but still, it was quite a headache . He could barely understand what the triple concentric circles were for at all .
Everything was all too confusing .
Since he couldn’t understand it, Roland tried to regard the circles as nodes and the intersections as the routes of magic power . But he only got a meaningless spell model in the end .
That was not a helpful approach .
Roland thought for a moment and began to picture the simplest trick of all human spells, the sphere of light, which only contained a dozen nodes .
Then, he expanded all the nodes with his mental power, but the capacity of the model was not changed .
As a result, the spell had become extremely obese on the model level .
Undoubtedly, this approach had failed again .
An abnormal, irregular sphere of light that looked like a hedgehog was created .
The light was not bright, emitting some uncanny colors that looked like a rainbow .
Though he failed again, Roland felt something was slightly different, but he couldn’t exactly tell what it was, so he tried the same approach again .
He felt something more, but he again failed to locate the differences .
Roland tested it again and again . He cast this obese version of the illumination spell three hundred times in four hours to grasp the differences .
Eventually, he marked the nodes with Spiritual Endowment and finally found the difference .
In the node that had been mostly enlarged, a green feeble magic power appeared before it quickly disappeared one second later .
If it were another player of his level, or if it was an NPC Mage, they couldn’t have sensed the transient green power at all .
Even a Master NPC couldn’t have felt it without extraordinary talent .
But Roland had . He had added his stat points to Intelligence and Spirit, as a traditional Mage would . Together with Magic Power Control, he had a keen sense of the magic elements around him .
Seeing the unusual green magic power, he was briefly stunned, and then his eyes glittered .
Inputting intense magic power into a node and then compressing it would lead to other magic elements?
Excited, Roland said to Andonara immediately, “Ask everybody to stop . I’m going to have a magic experiment . ”
Then, he jumped out of the window to the meadow next to the road . He summoned a magic light ball and filled it with magic power .
With his previous experience, he abandoned the other nodes and focused all his magic power on the node that had the greatest capacity .
Soon enough, this node was full .
The white ball became bright green . Then, it exploded like a water balloon .
Bright green magic power spurted out like mist, before it slowly vanished in the air .
At this point, all the magic apprentices and Andonara had gotten off . They were all surprised to see the green magic power .
“A natural spell?”
“It’s not a spell . I think it’s the magic power of the elves . ” Andonara asked Roland in surprise, “Do you have an elven bloodline?”
“How’s that possible? I’m a human being . ”
Roland slowly panted . After four hours of consecutive tests and the great investment of magic power just now, he had run out of mana .
As a result, he was weak and pale .
But now that he was making progress, he didn’t want to rest yet .
He took out the Mind-Calming Necklace and put on the whole set of mana regeneration equipment .
Surrounded by blue light, he found that his mana had recovered rapidly .
Then, he sat down and rested .
About ten minutes later, when his mana bar was full, he tried compressing the magic node again .
The effect this time was even more unbelievable . The irregular ball of light exploded after he ran out of magic power .
There was no heat or deafening noise, but the blast blew Roland several meters away .
The green magic power waved crazily like the tentacles of an octopus . Andonara and the magic apprentices, frightened, hurried to retreat .
However, the green tentacles dimmed quickly before they disappeared into the air after no more than six seconds .
“Did you succeed?” Andonara stepped forward and asked, “Can you use elven spells now?”
“I failed . ” Roland shook his head and said, “I used up all my magic power but only created a wind that carried no damage at all . If I had used a human spell, this place would’ve been razed to the ground just now . ”
Andonara was not a Mage, so she did not understand what Roland meant .
The magic apprentices, however, realized that Roland was saying that the transformation of magic power didn’t go well .
There were huge losses when elemental magic power was transformed to natural magic power .
But Roland did learn something .
He had remembered the frequency and features of natural magic power, and he had vaguely sensed the difference between elemental magic power and natural magic power .
If he must compare them, they were like rice and wheat .
Though they were both food, rich and wheat tasted completely different from each other .
If a southerner who grew up with rice had noodles made of wheat for the first time, they might not enjoy it at all, and the case was the same when a northern who grew up with noodles had rice for the first time .
That was exactly the situation for Roland . As a human being, he could only transform the natural mental power of the elves at a very low efficiency .
The structures of mental power of the two races seemed greatly different .
“We have a problem . ” Roland scratched his head, upset .
