Apart from these, there were also countless other patterns and runes, representing complex effects such as manipulation, enhancement, doubling, and sharpness.
As long as one could skillfully combine them, new magical effects could be created!
This meant that as long as one could master this knowledge proficiently, one could create magic!
Although the records of the old Douglas contained only very scarce content and most parts were unknown, it was an extremely solid foundation!
These things excited Horn greatly as they opened the door to a new world for him! But the complexity of them also made his head spin.
So he flipped through to the next part, which was the spell analysis of magic circles!
When he opened it, there were again dense analyses, and Horn's right eye almost turned into a spiral.
In a daze, Horn roughly finished reading this part. After reading, he only knew that as long as he mastered this knowledge proficiently, he could analyze magic circles and then restore the spells of the magic circles.
Just like the decomposition and combination of magic circles, what was recorded in this little booklet was only a tiny fraction of this vast body of knowledge, but it was of great importance.
Because it was a precious foundation!
But with Horn's current level, he couldn't penetrate this knowledge in a short time, so he flipped to the following pages.
The last few pages recorded several magic circles and the accompanying spells!
First - ring: Miniature Fireball, Flame
Second - ring: Fireball Spell
Third - ring: Large Fireball Spell, Flame Whip
Fourth - ring: Fire Rain Spell, Blazing Flame
Fifth - ring: Blazing Flames
Sixth - ring: Flame Explosion Spell, Giant Fireball Spell
Seventh - ring: Solar Flame, Fire Giant
Eighth - ring: Fire Storm, Fire Dragon Spell!
...
There were also earth - based magic spells from the first to the eighth ring!
As for the thunder - based ones, they were only written up to the fourth ring. Douglas was good at earth - based and fire - based magic, and the thunder - based part was written for Horn...
When he flipped to the last page, there was a sentence written in Chinese characters.
Horn, I'm not from this world. Compared to this world, I'm just a passer - by, but you're different. I hope you can fulfill your ideal and your mission.
I'm old, but you're young. You can achieve far greater things than I can imagine. Believe in yourself, because you're the only proof of my existence in this world!
Horn hugged the little booklet and knelt down. Tears streamed from his right eye, while his left eye showed no reaction at all.
...
The carriage was still moving. It was already afternoon, and the sun no longer had so much heat.
Horn was still studying the little booklet. Enoch also came over curiously to take a look, and Horn didn't try to hide it. But after Enoch found that the words on it were all unfamiliar to him, he lost interest.
Horn practiced the knowledge in the little booklet in his consciousness sea. Then he found that the things that were already very complicated even when written in the booklet became even more difficult to practice geometrically in the consciousness sea.
So he looked listless now.
Suddenly, a blue humanoid creature flashing with electricity jumped out of the grass and started dancing in front of the carriage. It seemed that it had been lying in ambush for a long time.
The creature's skin was light blue, and its body texture looked like stone. Many of its organs were emitting weak electric light, and even its eyes were just two balls of electric light.
This stylish blue creature was holding a stone spear and gesturing at the wild witches in the carriage.
Annie pointed at the creature in surprise and said,
"I've seen it! I summoned a creature like this before!"
But obviously, this creature was not the one Annie had summoned; it just looked similar.
Because it had launched an attack on Horn and the others!
For it, the Ceylonese were enemies!
Unfortunately, before it could reach the carriage, it was entangled by a vine. Luke the Hoe - wielder put away his staff with a simple - minded smile.
Then Daniel the Match - user jumped off the carriage and slapped the blue creature on the face. Flames instantly engulfed its whole body.
After the flames died out, only a light - blue shell of the blue creature remained. All the stylish glowing points on its body had dimmed, and it was dead.
But the creature's body didn't disappear!
This meant that this creature was not summoned to this world by someone, but truly existed in this world!
Horn jumped off the carriage and squatted beside the creature to study it for a while. Without getting any results, Horn and the others continued on their journey.
If it were the magicians in his teacher's stories, there would usually be some usable spell - casting materials on such a creature. But he didn't know how to handle these things!
Horn thought to himself self - deprecatingly.
Actually, the appearance of this blue creature was a bit strange. Horn and the others were traveling on the official road specially built by the church. All the potentially dangerous creatures in the vicinity had long been killed by the church. There shouldn't have been any danger.
However, this kind of creature posed no real threat to Horn and the others, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.
They just regarded this appearance of the electric man as an exception.
Leaving the electric man's body on the road, the group continued on their journey. Finally, when the sun was about to set, they reached their first stop, Forest Town!
This was a small town around Keno City, and it would be the place where they would rest for the night.
Before leaving the sphere of influence of the North Wind God Church, Horn and the others wouldn't stop in the city. They might be discovered at any time in the city, but there wouldn't be such a problem in a small town.
Moreover, even if the one or two black - robed deacons in the small town discovered that they were wild witches, what could they do?
After all, except for Horn, the others were all first - ring extraordinary beings!
Thinking like this, they arrived at Forest Town. But the situation in Forest Town at this time was a bit beyond Horn and the others' expectations.
This small town was unexpectedly well - guarded.
More than a dozen fully - armed rural militiamen were guarding the entrance of the town, looking alert.
The group of nine people came to the entrance and were interrogated by those people.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" the strong man leading the group asked.
"Big brother, we're travelers on a long journey. We all came from Leon City and are planning to travel around the world. The world is so big, and we want to go out and see it," Enoch stepped forward and said with a smile.
The strong leading man eyed them suspiciously. There were both men and women in this group, and they didn't carry much stuff. Were they really travelers on a long journey? He didn't quite believe it.
But as long as they were sure that they were humans and not those blue - glowing monsters, it was okay. As mentioned before, this was just a small town.
The strong man let them pass, and the group entered the town one by one and checked into the only inn in the town.
After settling down, Horn asked Enoch to go out and gather some information.
In Horn's team, Enoch was the best person for gathering information. He was a rare social talent, good at talking and also good at illusions.
Most importantly, except for Horn,
no one had ever seen his real face!
