“Welcome aboard the Nali Exploration Company’s passenger cruise, this is the Captain’s office of the SS Lauren, Jack Type 1.
I extend the warmest welcome to all passengers boarding the cruise,”
“Our voyage will last about thirty-five days.
If you have any questions, please contact the cruise cabin service immediately.
Our final destination is Saint Nali, so please ensure that your entry documents and credentials for Saint Nali are fully prepared.”
“In times of danger, the Captain’s office holds the authority to make emergency decisions.
In the event of storms, tsunamis, pirates, or other emergencies, please always follow the Captain’s commands to avoid any accidents.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
We will be departing shortly, please enjoy the voyage to your heart’s content.”
The passenger cabins were independent of each other, generally consisting of a small living room, a bathroom, and the requisite accompanying rooms; for instance, Fisher and Renie’s cabin had two rooms.
“So, since you could have gone directly back to the Western Continent, why did you mooch my ticket?”
Having left the perilous South Continent, Fisher could finally let his guard down for a short rest.
At the moment, he was lounging with his legs crossed, enjoying a cup of coffee provided by the cabin service, leaning next to the window.
Across from him sat the beautiful woman in a black dress, Renie.
“Isn’t it worth it to exchange a 1500 Euro ticket for a beautiful girl to spend some quality time with you?”
Renie’s black chiffon dress fluttered slightly as she looked out the window, where, unbeknownst to her, a row of larks had already taken their perch, busily preening their feathers.
The cleaning staff looked at the throng of birds with vexation, and, confirming that they had no other mischief planned, reluctantly moved on to clean elsewhere.
“Speaking of which, a lot of young women in Saint Nali recently have taken to wearing these kinds of stockings.
Would you like to take a look?”
Renie pointed to her lips with her finger and then stood up, lifting her long dress slightly, revealing her black semi-transparent lace stockings.
She seemed to “innocently” share the latest fashion she had seen; that is if one ignored the mischievous twinkle hidden in her eyes.
Fisher didn’t even look up, instead, he spread open a piece of paper and dipped a quill in ink, appearing deep in thought.
“Hey, Fisher, I told you to take a look.”
“…Don’t be noisy.”
Renie floated up speechless, her hands cupping her face as she hovered, gazing at the article title he was writing, but her casual teasing slowly faded away, transforming into a serious solemnity.
In a place Fisher couldn’t see, her eyes, deep as the night sky, revealed a hint of surprise.
This child…
How did he learn so much after just one trip to the South Continent?
The title on the paper read:
“Magic Power and Soul Origin Theory and Proof—Fisher Benavides”
Fisher tapped his fingers on the desk, then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket to light it.
Caleb’s theory on the soul had already written a lot about the nature and origin of souls, but the current Human academic circles were still fiercely debating the issue.
These past few days, Fisher had been pondering how to prove it.
After much thought, there seemed to be no simpler proof than to create a magic that could touch the soul.
But typically, the “Reverberation” of Magic spells causes a resonance with the world, and the resulting effects are predominantly phenomena that manifest within the real world.
There are two approaches to creating spells that can touch the soul.
The first one is quite direct, which involves altering the design of the Magic Emblem so that the “Ring Head” points towards the soul.
The Ring Head is the heart of a Magic Emblem, and different Ring Heads determine the nature of the magic.
For example, the Ring Head of “Gravity” was designed by the master of Magic Theory during the early stages of the technological revolution, so strictly speaking, spells of the gravity type are considered new magic.
The second method involves using other types of magic, such as “Healing” spells, which can affect both the Magic Circuit and the body simultaneously.
Certainly, some part of it must be touching the soul, and all that’s needed is to bring this part, which touches the soul, into prominence.
With this idea in mind, Fisher took out a piece of paper and began to draw the Ring Head of a “Healing” spell with a feather quill.
The origin of this spell is very ancient, traceable back to the earliest periods of the Church, when people only wore a piece of cloth and ran around bare-bottomed.
No, that was the wrong approach.
Fisher suddenly realized, since all magic power stems from the soul, and the carving of an Emblem requires the mobilization of the soul’s power, there must be a section in the Emblem common to all that mobilizes the soul’s runes, otherwise it would be too absurd if one’s soul was stirred by merely writing a letter.
Therefore, there is no need to look for spells that have an effect on the soul, but rather to find that common element in all spells.
Despite the varied number of rings in a spell, their structures are the same.
First is the “Ring Head” which determines the nature of the magic and decides which part of the World Resonance to tap into; following that is the “Main Ring,” which determines the exact effect of the spell, or in other words, how the World Resonance is leveraged; then comes the “sub-ring,” which sets the extent and specifics of the spell – a well-crafted sub-ring can make a spell very flexible, and it is here that the difference between a master and a novice lies; finally, there’s the “ring tail,” which decides the target in the real world.
The ring tail is generally the most arbitrary as the casting of the spell can be controlled through manual aim and manipulation to decide the target, such as the Bee Dance, which Fisher had used before, where one simply needs to flick it at an enemy.
So why is the “ring tail” still indispensable?
The academic world mainly believes it’s for the sake of a spell’s completeness, but Fisher had suddenly felt that the ring tail wasn’t just for the structure’s completeness, as repetitive parts of the ring tail would appear at other sections’ ends.
Fisher thought of something and recalled the structure of Dragon-man Species magic, finding that their tooth-like magic structure began with three to four strokes that were identical to the human’s ring tail.
No wonder, when engraving Dragon-man Species magic, the Emblem would light up at the beginning; it’s because they placed the soul-manipulating structure at the start, whereas humans are accustomed to placing this kind of structure at the end of each section.
Fisher’s eyes lit up as he drew this part on the paper and then casually engraved a spell with general Emblem parts, attempting to create a Ring Head that specifically targets the soul.
However, after he finished the drawing, his own magic circuits lit up, yet the spell produced no effect.
This made Fisher frown, which meant he had engraved the wrong Ring Head; the magic power was mobilized, but it could not leverage the World Resonance, resulting in a wasted effort.
Was this not correct?
Fisher’s mind hit a dead end for the moment, and after thinking for a long time without finding an answer, he crumpled the misshapen Magic Emblem into a ball of paper.
Renie was floating in mid-air, reading Nali’s newspaper, her pleasant fragrance pervading the room.
Just then, at that moment, an idea suddenly struck Fisher.
He hurriedly spread out the paper and suddenly felt that the Ring Head he had designed resembled something with a circular arc pattern similar to brackets at the top and bottom, and a simple dot in the middle.
This thing closely resembled a peculiar-looking eye, except the top and bottom of the eye were too strange, almost like the upper and lower lips of a mouth.
With a mix of shock and insight, he engraved a complex circular pattern over the location of the Ring Head, encompassing that single dot.
With that, the pattern completely became the pictograph of the enormous eye structure he had seen on the South Continent.
And the instant the engraving was done, all of Fisher’s Magic Circuits lit up, accompanied by a deep glow that emanated from the Magic Emblem on the paper.
