Chapter 56
Specializations and Ore
Back in the carriage, Lou Le told Limeira about the strange dog-headed man, treating it as a joke.
"I think we can later imagine him appearing in a bard's farce, or perhaps on a noose in some city."
Limera was silent for a moment, then said, "It might do something very bad."
Lou Le didn't care at all; she simply threw the corpses out of the magic book space onto the ground.
Ask Limera for help to pull out all the kobolds' crystallized teeth.
She needs to absorb the spell models inside.
Limera used a hammer to knock off the crystallized teeth one by one.
Then place them aside; there are thirty in total.
Only one is fully crystallized; the others are only partially crystallized.
Lou Le recognized that the fully crystallized tooth as belonging to the fire-breathing kobold warrior.
Lou Le infused his magic with the spell model and imprinted it into his Witch's Spring.
[Fire-breathing]
It is a zero-ring spell.
"Not all flames exhaled from the mouth are dragon breath. Please take precautions to avoid throat injury."
"This spell is pretty trash."
Lou Le commented that they could only distort the Witch's Spring a little to see what it would become.
As for the other incomplete spell models, Lou Le poured all of them into his spell, 【Incomplete Flame Manipulation - Twisted by the Witch's Spring】.
This spell model began to devour the broken spell model, constantly completing itself.
The Witch's Spring also began to tremble, and Lou Le could only thankfully endure it.
All the teeth turned to ashes and slipped from Lou Le's hands.
Lou Le pretended nothing had happened and began throwing all the corpses onto the bone horse.
As soon as they came into contact with the bone horses, the corpses gradually dried out and their hair shrank.
The skin has darkened and lost its vitality.
The bone horse, on the other hand, became increasingly sturdy, its bones growing darker in color, and long red lines appeared on them.
After the corpses turned to ashes, the entire skeletal horse had changed drastically.
All the bones turned pitch black, and the flames of the soul in the pupils pulsed ever more fiercely.
Lou Le used the Eye of Grandet to examine the bone horse's specific information.
【Bone Horse】
It is a summoned creature.
Its bones have been strengthened, making them as tough as iron, and they will no longer be easily worn down.
It can emit blue flames that surround it, freezing the path it traverses.
This is newly added information. Lou Le looked at the feet of the bone horse.
Sure enough, the ice started spreading outwards from where the four hooves were located.
The area is only a few tens of centimeters in size, but when they merge together, they form an ice path.
"Now, the carriage won't have to worry about traveling on muddy roads anymore."
The little witch felt a little happy as she thought this.
Her biggest worry about the carriage was the issue of the skeletal horse. Now, the wear and tear problems, as well as the road surface issues, have all been resolved.
"It must be because the kobolds' bones are too hard that the bone horse's bones were strengthened."
Lou Le speculated: "It seems we'll need to kill a lot more kobolds in the future."
After doing all that, Limera was covered in blood.
Lou Le also started to smell, but it was mainly the smell of sulfur.
The two of them had no choice but to go take a shower separately.
After taking a shower, Lou Le felt that the pulsation in the Witch's Spring had stopped.
"A new spell!"
She quickly opened her Witch's Spring, but the patterns representing other spells within it remained unchanged.
However, the pattern representing the incomplete control of the flames has disappeared.
Instead, a swirling vortex of burning flames appeared.
The One Who Controls Flames
It is a specialty.
It can bring you closer to the element of fire.
"You can control the fire element more easily."
"You can directly summon flames from the fire elemental plane. Depending on the amount of magic you invest, you can summon different flames. After offering a gem, you might be able to get help from fire elemental creatures."
"You gain minor fire resistance, increasing your resistance to fire."
"This is my first specialty."
Lou Le murmured to herself, she really liked this specialty.
This reduces the need to light firewood before summoning fire crows and wait for the fire crows to burn and expand their surrounding magic before using them in battle.
Of course, the most crucial element is resistance to secondary fire.
It's already the month of thunderstorms! That is, July.
Although there are frequent thunderstorms this month, next month is August, the hottest month.
The weather will be unbearably hot then.
With a minor fire resistance, you won't feel much heat.
Lou Le had also considered whether selling frost potions in the Fiery Moon would be profitable. But Lou Le felt uncomfortable, since poor people could hide in the shade of forest trees or in rivers.
As for the wealthy, they have even more ways to escape the heat.
Therefore, the frost potion is stuck in a rut, neither going up nor down.
That's where the awkward part lies.
Lou Le used this special ability to sense the existence of a vast world of flames.
Although it was blurry, that dimension still showed a hint of goodwill.
"That must be the Fire Elemental Plane."
Lou Le believed that as long as he infused his magic, he would be able to summon flames.
However, Lou Le did not do that.
After taking a shower and drying himself with a towel, Lou Le finally came outside.
Seeing that Limera had not yet come out, she went into the alchemy workshop and opened the package that the kobold priest had given her.
It contained many small clumps of seaweed and some seeds of fire bells.
Flame Grass Seeds
It is a seed.
It needs to be planted in water.
"A peculiar seaweed seed that sways like a flame in the water. It can emit a faint light and also has heat."
(Note: Large-scale planting will alter its growing environment.)
The other package contained some fire-yellow crystals.
These fire-yellow crystals resembled square prisms; Lou Le counted about twenty of them.
It felt slightly warm to the touch and looked completely red.
【Fire Yellow Crystal】
It is a mineral.
It is a metallurgical material.
"A kind of crystal that looks like a flame, feels warm to the touch, and glows faintly in the dark."
(Note: It will affect the surrounding environment.)
"So that's how it is. No wonder they can survive in caves. I remember that kobolds don't have dark vision. So they rely on this kind of thing for light."
Lou Le took a look, then took a few and went into the mine, placing them on the seed production machine.
Hopefully, this will generate seeds for Fire Yellow Crystal.
