Chapter 46:

Alana's first stop is Professor Nancy's office at York College.

"Professor Nancy, I'm sorry to interrupt your preparation, there's something I'd like you to help with."

"Sit down. Don't be so polite, I've just received a secret summons from the upper echelons of the church. If you need anything, just ask, and I will cooperate with you unconditionally.

Nancy's heart was pounding, and she hadn't recovered from the shock of the bombshell news.

She knew that last night's curfew meant something big about it, but she didn't expect that this event would involve all the four Orthodox Churches, and the hope of victory was all on her students!

"Thank you, Professor, I'm here to ask you for a spell."

This is the new thing she learned from Notes of the Dead last night.

There are many professions in this world that have language skills, such as the curse of the necromancer's mid-level skill, the blessing of the light magician, and the curse of the wisdom god teacher.

Among them, the necromancer's curse tends to have negative effects, and the types are limited and the effects are vague, such as disease, aging, bad luck, etc.

However, the mantras of the high-level scholars of the Wisdom God Cult are similar to "speech and spirituality", which can be done "according to the word", such as making someone turn three times in place.

In addition, the scholar's mantra can not only be recited on the spot, but can be used by himself or others in a special magic weapon, enhancing the flexibility of use in battle.

"Curses?" Nancy understood what she was trying to do almost immediately, "I have a collection of Sage-level speech spell artifacts from my predecessors in the Cult, but, I'm not sure about the effect."

"What do you mean?"

"The incantation engraved in the magic weapon is subject to both the maker and the user."

"First of all, the producers. As with other normal spells, the Word Spell only works on transcendents of the same rank and below. For example, if I am about to be promoted to an emissary, then the spell I make will have a weak effect on the transcendents above the emissary, or even completely ineffective.

"The second is the user. Should you be just getting started as a walker? Then your strength limits the effect of the spell, and you may be downgraded to only deal with the Holy Envoy and below.

Nancy sighed secretly.

Alanna's ability to think of mantras shows that she is a very good learner and a flexible thinker. It's just that strength, the key issue is still strength!

Alana's level is too low, whether it is giving her a high-level spell or some other high-level magic weapon, the effect she can play is very limited.

"Okay, I got it."

Contrary to Nancy's expectations, there was no disappointment on Alanna's face.

"I want to ask, can a spell weapon only be engraved with one sentence, and the content is also limited?"

Nancy nodded, "Yes, although the Scholar's Path Spell Skill can be called against the sky, but the spiritual consumption is large, and a conventional magic weapon can only put one sentence."

"As for the content, it has to do with the mechanism of action of the mantra. For example, the curse of the necromancer's path is an objective effect that acts on reality. Mantras are a form of subjective hypnosis that acts on an individual.

"In other words, this is a mandatory order for the opponent. The more anti-human this directive is, the more it goes against his own interests, and the stronger the resistance and restraint of his actions.

Alana quickly understood, "So, let's say you use the Word Spell to fight at the same level, and having the opponent pause for a second will work, but having the opponent draw their sword and kill themselves will not work. 

Yes! That's what I mean. "Therefore, it is important to grasp the scale of this sentence." It is precisely because of the various limitations and shortcomings of the mantra that it is rarely used in actual combat.

"I remember what you said, can you please give me that Sage-level mantra?"

Nancy gave Alana a surprised look, but Alanna's expression was so calm that she couldn't see through it. Forget it, it's just an extra layer of insurance for Alana.

"You wait."

She took the key from the drawer, got up and walked over to the bookcase, carefully pulling out a brass box sealed by a charm.

The lock clicked, and on the red velvet cushion lay a piece of crystal-clear oval crystallized crystal spar the size of a quail egg.

She handed the artifact to Alanna, "In order to make it easier to carry and conceal people's eyes, we made a hole in the top of the runestone and made a necklace.

"It's beautiful," Alana touched the cold runestone, not sensing any special spiritual fluctuations, "how do I use it?"

"Have you thought of that sentence? If you think about it, I can inscribe it for you now.

"Yes," Alana glanced at the table, "can you borrow a pen and paper?"

"Of course," Nancy handed her the papyrus and pen.

Alana didn't stop to think, she quickly put down the pen and handed it back.

Nancy took the note and looked at it, her eyes widening, "Are you sure?"

Normally, this sentence is some kind of alternative attack, such as stopping movement, losing hearing or sight, being unable to think, etc., but how strange it is to see Alanna's statement.

"I'm sure." Alana insisted, "Also, I ask you to keep the content of this sentence secret for me, and not to reveal it to anyone, whether it is now or in the future.

Nancy was stunned, meaning that this sentence could not be told to the upper echelons of the Wisdom God Cult?

It wasn't in order, of course, but she couldn't think of any harm in hiding it. As a teacher, she can't take the place of Alanna to charge into battle, at least this little thing.

"Okay, I promise you."

Nancy seals a prayer and inscribes the contents of the paper into the magic weapon. Moments later, the ritual was complete, and she walked up to Alana and placed the necklace around her neck.

When it was time to use it, he pressed his finger to the magic weapon and said the words. Or by reciting this phrase three times in your mind, you can trigger the mantra. The effect is only once, and you have to seize the moment.

"Well, I'll remember."

Nancy looked at her immature face and reluctantly, "Is there anything else I can do to help you?"

"Yes," Alanna looked at Nancy, "I remember you have a copy of the Illustrated Book of Strange Creatures, can you lend me a copy of the Illustrated Book of Strange Creatures?"

Once again, Nancy didn't follow the train of thought, "Yes, indeed." But what do you need this for?

"There's a summoning technique in the necromancer's primary skill, and I'd like to see if there's a helper in the atlas that is suitable for summoning."

"Well," Nancy wondered, "then you shouldn't choose this book, you should choose the book that freshmen often read, the Complete Book of Warcraft on the Eivor Continent, because many of the creatures in 'Weird' are extinct." "

"I see," Alanna still smiled, "please lend it to me, I'll read it later."

"Of course," Nancy walked over to the bookshelf, taking down the heavy black-skinned book and handing it to her, "Alanna, even though I've only been your teacher for a few days, you've been in trouble for me.

Alanna touched her nose and smiled innocently.

"But I like an inquisitive student like you, or rather, all wise scholars who aspire to the truth will like a student like you."

"Didn't I promise you, when you become transcendent, that you will tell you the next law of the gods? So, I owe you an answer, you must come back safely.

"I will."

After saying goodbye to Nancy, Alanna didn't stop for a moment and went straight to Kappa Street.

It was lunch time, and Belinda was the chef. However, Lizzy was not at ease, and kept commanding by the furnace.

Theodore didn't want to get involved in cooking, nor did he want to study, so he sat on the couch and played cards with Bubai.

Alanna pushed open the door of the house and saw such a warm daily life.

"Alana," Theodore tossed his cards and ran towards her.

"Miss Alana," Belinda paused, "you're home so soon?"

"Well, but I'll have to go out in a minute."

Alanna pressed her cheek to Theodore, "You guys have lunch first." I've got something to attend to, so I'll bring me two pieces of bread later.

"Do you need my help?" Belinda is keenly aware that something is not right.

"Yes, you can come to my room after you finish lunch."

Theodore and Liz looked at each other and hesitated, "Is it for Michael?"

"Yes," Alana took his hand and walked over to the couch, "Theodore and Liz must be worried about Michael, right?" I'm going to go and bring him back.

"Will it be dangerous?" Theodore held her hand tightly.

"No," Alana crouched down to eye level with him, "Lord Helen, Chief Andreina, and Captain Nock are all here, I'm just going to fish in troubled waters."

Belinda couldn't help but laugh.

Alanna is probably the only parent in the world who openly tells her children that she is fishing at work. What parent wouldn't want to set a good example? Who wouldn't want to be a hero in the eyes of a child?

Theodore nodded. He remembered this word, and once when he came home, she asked Bu Bai if he was studying at home, whether he had been fishing all day, "Then, then you have to pay attention to safety."

"Well, I promise."

Alana burrowed into the room, took out the clay tools, and opened the Tale of Strange Creatures. Of course, extinct creatures can't be summoned, but can you pinch one?

Time was pressing, she had to pick out the right one as soon as possible, and in order to speed up its growth, she was afraid that she would have to use some unconventional means.

In the living room, Liz stepped forward to take the kitchen utensils, "You go help Alanna, I'll make lunch."

Belinda shook her head, holding the handle of the pot without giving an inch, "Miss Alanna said that I should go to her after I finish my lunch." It's her command, and I just need to do it as it is, and I don't need to be smart.

"In the eyes of Mademoiselle, it is more important for me to make a good lunch for you now than to go to the room to assist her."

Liz's eyes widened slightly, not expecting to hear such a statement.

"What? Think I'm too blind? "Belinda doesn't actually have any deep awareness, she just feels that in front of the demigod powerhouse, she doesn't need to use her brain, she only needs to be loyal.

"No, you're fine like that."

Lizzy was originally suspicious of Belinda, fearing that she would overconsume Alana's spirituality, and even use her knowledge to control Alanna in turn.

But now it turns out that Belinda's attitude towards Alanna can no longer be summed up simply as "obedience".

How exactly did Alanna do it?

That's not important, though. The important thing is that her sister is stronger and more creative than she imagined.
