Chapter 32: Hillul
However, the problem of her inability to smelt metal ore is not absolute.
Lilith can manipulate hammers and other tools to smelt the raw ore, create processed and wrought ore, then use her magic to shape them.
Ah, I wrought iron!
Liliths original depression was immediately dispersed at the sight of iron being processed under her manipulation.
Lilith cant directly reshape raw materials, but she can still process a large number of resources through indirect methods, such as making dozens of furnaces work at the same time, then instantly shape the tools everyone needs through her magic, saving the Ardennes a lot of time.
In addition, they also found that Lilith could not directly turn trees into wooden products, but she could control saws and axes, cut down trees first, then use her magic to reshape them.
Of course, Liliths life magic mainly lies in basic necessities. Innovation and creation are a bit out of her range of abilities.
For example, Bai Luo wanted Lilith to make some high-precision instruments, such as pistols, microscopes, TVs, computers, and even atomic bombs.
Unfortunately, Lilith was unable to do so. In fact, Lilith couldnt even create watches or alarm clocks.
It might be due to Bai Luos lack of knowledge about them, but thinking about it carefully, fairies and technology do clash in nature, hence Bai Luo no longer tried to trek down that path.
It stands to reason that the fairies in fairy tales do not make weapons, nor do they have advanced ingenuity. Instead, they have mastery over ancient and mystical powers.
In fairy tales, there are some stories of humans catching fairies with their weapons or traps. It can be seen that the power of fairies is diametrically opposed to humans.
However, it was the request of her master Bai Luo, Lilith had no time to consider whether it was a fairy thing or not.
Even if its opposite to her area of expertise, she has to do it!
Paying too much attention to human ingenuity is a misuse of Liliths power.
The old man said so, hence the two of them changed their approach and focused more on the areas that Lilith excelled at.
Sure enough, they discovered Liliths true strengthTransfiguration.
Transfiguration is really very, very powerful magic.
Moreover, its very popular with children, making Liliths popularity surge past Shirleys in a short period.
Crystal slippers, what beautiful slippers.
Thats really a pumpkin carriage!
Mia was wearing a pair of extremely beautiful crystal slippers on her feet. Although uncle Saros could also make ones as beautiful as them, Liliths crystal slippers are fundamentally different.
She didnt make them out of crystals! Yes, Lilith directly transformed Mias cloth shoes into crystal shoes.
Even the pumpkin carriage wasnt made out of pumpkins, but out of an orange generated by the sacred pouch.
Anyway, their shape and color are very similar. She just made it bigger and slightly adjusted the shape and interior and voila! A pumpkin carriage straight out from fairy tales.
Lady Lilith, I want beautiful clothes.
The moment a little girl said that Lilith waved her fairy wand, turning the girls simple clothes into an extremely beautiful pure white princess dress.
Wow!
So beautiful!
I want one too! Lady Lilith is the best~~
The little girls had never seen such a magical scene, they directly regarded Lilith as a wish-fulfilling fairy from fairy tales, cheering, and making all kinds of wishes.
Lilith also straightforwardly responded. She is the patron saint of girls dreams. She simply rolled her sleeves and used one spell after the other to fulfill the desires of these little girls.
Bai Luo was truly amazed by this scene, marveling at the power of fairy magic.
Sometimes it follows the law of conservation of matter. However, sometimes, it truly steps into fantasy territory, completely ignoring the law of conservation of matter.
One example would be the pumpkin carriage, it was truly created from an orange and nothing else, but after Noel tested its weight, he found out that its as heavy as normal carriages.
The same goes for the crystal slippers. No matter what method they used to test it, whether it was optical or more complicated methods, the results indicated that it was truly made of crystal.
However, unlike simple form changes, material changes would immediately be canceled once Lilith stops supplying her magic power. However, until Lilith terminates the magic, no physical act exerted on the object would cause it to return to its original state. Whether it was breaking, smashing, or tearing it.
However, if there is a drastic chemical change, it will quickly return to its original state.
This is also the reason why Lilith cant simply create food. She can change stones into food, but it mustnt be eaten, absolutely not!
Even so, its an ability straight out of fairy tales.
Bai Luo didnt know the principle of fairy magic. He felt that something was restricting Lilith during the process of magic release.
Does it consume a lot of magic power?
Bai Luo felt that magic power might be the key factor restricting the spell casting process.
Magic power, what is that?
The moment Lilith asked that she began to receive information about magic power.
Bai Luo wanted to say that magic power is her miracle e
However, Liliths miracle energy hadnt diminished from the beginning to the end, and she had been casting spells for a long time today.
Bai Luo was a little puzzled, Lilith didnt seem to have consumed any miracle energy.
You can keep casting spells, endlessly?
Mmm.
Lilith gave Bai Luo an affirmative answer,
Although the scope of each spell is limited, I can keep releasing all kinds of fairy magic spells without any problem.
In the following days, everyone felt the changes that Lilith has brought to their journey. She captured many small animals in the forest and applied her blessings on them.
Although they havent acquired any peculiar abilities, for the time being. These animals have become much smarter after getting Liliths miracle energy.
Bai Luo even noticed that some of these animals seemed to understand what they were saying.
Is there no one ahead?
Noel retrieved his white eagle and asked him about the state of the surrounding area.
Coo.
A docile dove-like sound came from the white eagle on Noels arm, it nodded, and then looked at the half-cooked rabbit meat in Noels hands.
Here you go.
Noel didnt know whether to laugh or cry. As their white eagles became smarter and smarter, they became the best sentries of the Arden clan.
Oftentimes, they brought them useful news from dozens of kilometers away.
This helped the team avoid contact with outsiders several times. They marched all the way to the river valley closest to the ancient seaside capital Hillul without any mishaps, and the white eagles greatly contributed to that.
Of course, due to their high intellect, their requirements for food have also changed.
They like cooked meat now, and if it isnt cooked to perfection, they would become unhappy and sometimes refuse to eat it, and they also like to bully Noel.
However, facing Bai Luo, these little animals suddenly become extremely respectful. Their demeanor would also become cautious, for fear of offending Bai Luo.
Theyre very likely aware that hes their bosss boss.
We have arrived!
Finally, after a long journey through mountains and rivers, they reached their transit station the ancient capital Hillul!
The ancient capital is ahead.
Bai Luo was mounting Shirley. He seriously instructed the crowd on what to do, especially magical creatures like Lilith and Shirley.
There is no miracle power in the ancient capital Hillul. The old man is sure of that.
This also means that the residents of this city have never heard of miracles.
For the people of the ancient capital, their team is too special. Once exposed, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Lilith, restrain the little ones.
Understood, master.
Lilith used her magic to confine her magical creatures in the carriage, stopping them from running around at will.
Before entering the city, I want to check everyones disguise.
Bai Luo dismounted Shirley, then walked past the crowd with his hands behind his back. He first walked to his uncle Saros,
What an elegant butler. Uncle, your disguise is absolutely on point.
Hmm.
The old man was wearing a black butler uniform. He had a smile on his face, I was a butler once in the past.
On this trip, Bai Luo played the role of a wealthy merchant from abroad.
Due to the failure of his business, he plans to go overseas to seek refuge with his relatives in another country.
Looking at his elder sister Issafeiya, her originally beautiful silver hair was dull. Although her dress is good-looking, it was a bit ruffled and had some traces of dust.
Hmmm, as the bankrupt merchants wife, you look excellent.
The identity of elder sister Issafeiya is Bai Luos wife, as for Inya, she is Bai Luos younger sister.
Noel is his skilled bodyguard, and Jerah is his personal maid.
The other adults look fine.
The women concealed their beautiful features, and the men disguised their muscular bodies and their obvious Ardennes features. Moreover, most of them will stay inside the caravan, rarely showing their faces.
Hence even if they dont have any acting skills, as long as they hide, they can still blend with the crowd.
Lilith, change everyones clothes.
Bai Luo decided to change everyones clothes, choosing clothes that were not particularly high-class, but not that of refugees.
Is this okay?
Looking at the costumes Lilith prepared for everyone, Bai Luo nodded and said,
Its perfect.
Hillul
Bai Luo looked at the big city in the distance. He needed everyone to hide their peculiarity. They must absolutely not show their power at will.
Even Shirley had dulled her shiny fur and crystal mane, making her look just like any ordinary horse.
Bai Luo didnt bother changing the look of other warhorses though.
Sometimes, unseen wealth is also a form of power display. If they really pretend to be refugees seeking shelter in the city, they will probably be forced to show their power before even entering the city.
Were going into the city. Next, everyone must try their best to keep silent. If you dont need to speak, dont speak.
Wait until we get on the ship and go out to sea.
The corners of Bai Luos mouth were slightly raised. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes,
Then laugh out loud as much as you want!
