The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

the next day.

When the sky was still light at dawn, in the camp at the foot of the mountain, the bonfire was extinguished.

While Sean was still sound asleep, Vivian entered his tent and dragged him up.

"Now is the time for the nocturnal monsters to return to their nests, and most of the diurnal monsters will only appear after dawn. Now is the best time for us to enter the mountain."

Vivian brought everyone together for this reason.

It's just that the girls seem to have long been prepared for this, or have long been accustomed to this kind of life, so all of them appear to be in good spirits and not at all sleepy.

Only Sheehan was yawning constantly among the spirited girls, looking like she would fall down at any time.

"Really, it's too disrespectful, hurry up and wash your face and keep your spirits up."

Vivian hurried Sean to wash up like a worried sister, which made Sean smile bitterly.

"I thought I was used to waking up early after I came to this world, but I still can't compare to an orthodox adventurer?"

As an adventurer, not only do you have to stick to the night for several hours in the middle of the night, but you also have to get up early and go into the mountains to complete the task, which is really hard.

However, after entering the mountain, you have to encounter all kinds of dangerous monsters, so you can't be careless, so even if you don't get enough sleep, you have to keep your spirits up, and you can't relax. This aspect is equally harsh.

"Don't they even think about taking beauty sleep or something?"

Sheehan was in a slack wash while thinking about things in such a wild way, until he poured cold water on his face and rubbed his face a few times before he was in good spirits.

Immediately, Xien returned to the side of the girls, and together with the girls who were ready to go, they were preparing to enter the Mangal Mountain belt.

"Everyone come here."

Vivian greeted everyone, took out a map from the luggage, and spread it out in front of everyone.

That is naturally the map of the Mangal Mountain belt.

On the map, there are not only detailed path signs, but also several special signs.

There are signs with red "X" drawn, there are also icons that look like pools, and some other miscellaneous signs, this map is drawn very carefully.

"First of all, let's confirm the goals of our trip."

Vivian's eyes swept to everyone.

"Now that we have cleared the blood-sucking vines, the remaining two tasks are to collect spring water from the medium-sized magic source and obtain the skin of the salamander."

Vivian confirmed this first, and then said it.

"There are seventeen sources of magic power in the Mangal Mountain belt, one is large, three are medium, and the remaining thirteen are all small, so let's eliminate all small sources of magic first."

With that said, Vivian took out the quill and marked the thirteen pool icons on the map with "X".

Only then did Sheen know that those pool icons were where all the sources of magic power in the Mangal Mountain Belt were located.

"Then, we also won't go to the large magic source." Vivian said, "Although we bring back the spring water from the large magic source, the client will be ecstatic to announce that we have completed this commission, and even We will pay extra money, but the large-scale magic power source generally gathers the highest-level dangerous monsters in the area, and the large-scale magic power source in the Mangal Mountain area is said to be inhabited by powerful monsters of level 80. For safety, we cannot approach it. There."

Vivian drew out a brilliant golden pool on the map, and also crossed out a nearby pool icon.

Because the source of magic power is too close to the large source of magic power, so Vivian just crossed it out?

"Thus,

There are two remaining sources of magic power, one of which is relatively close to us, and the other is in the other direction of the mountain range. It is clear at a glance which side we should go to. "

Vivian crossed out the other pool icon neatly, leaving only one pool icon left.

Immediately afterwards, Vivian followed the path from where everyone was at this time to the remaining pool icon, and marked the path on the map with a quill pen.

"This is the closest road to the source of the target's magic power, and we'll go from here." Vivian pointed at the road with the tip of her pen and said, "Follow this road, if it goes well, wait until we reach the destination. , it should happen to be the time period when the monsters start to become active, we try to collect the spring water before that, and then stay near the magic source, wait for the monsters to approach, and immediately hunt the salamanders when they find a group of salamanders."

In this way, the task can be successfully completed.

"The battle plan is like this. If there is any problem, it can be raised now."

Vivian asked the crowd.

Thiel, Rumia, and Melika didn't speak, so there was no problem in thinking.

but...

"I have a question."

Sheehan raised his hand with a serious face and asked.

"What exactly is a source of magic power?"

This question, Sean wanted to ask for a long time.

Until now, Sheen didn't know what that magic source was.

However, hearing Sheehan's question, Rumiya and Melika couldn't help but twist their bodies and almost didn't fall to the ground. Even Thier had a speechless atmosphere, which made Vivian Also dumbfounded.

"It seems you have a serious lack of common sense, Sheehan."

Vivian said so helplessly.

However, Vivian no longer cast the suspicious look at Sheehan as before.

"You should know that there is magic in everyone's body, right?"

"......sorry, I do not know."

"This...that's it..."

Vivian began to cast a sympathetic, even pitying look at Sheehan.

Even the rest of the girls felt more or less helpless, which made Thiel silent, Rumiya at a loss, and Melika's expression was subtle, making Sheehan seem to be regarded as a bad grade by the elementary school teacher. Feeling the same as the students, they laughed dryly.

"Then let me explain to you from the beginning."

Vivian laughed, and then began to explain patiently.

"Everything in the world may carry magic power, especially life itself, which has magic power since its birth, because the essence of magic power is vitality."

"After the life force is transformed, magic power can be generated, so even civilians will have magic power in their bodies, but it is only very weak. Only by raising oneself to a certain level can they possess considerable magic power to use magic and skills."

"And the world, as the existence that nurtures all life and things, has an extremely huge vitality in its own operation."

"Therefore, whether it is the atmosphere or the earth, there will be magic power that belongs to the world. When these magic powers are gathered in one place and materialized, they will form a source."

"This is the source of magic."

Vivian's explanation can be said to be quite simple and easy to understand, making Sheen instantly understand the nature of the source of magic.

However, there is one thing that Sean has wanted to ask for a long time.

"Magic power is transformed from vitality, right?"

Sheehan said so in a tone like he was going to complain.

"This setting is indeed very common, but I always wanted to say, in this way, a lot of mana is consumed, and life force is consumed, can people really not die?"

This is a question that has entangled Sean for a long time.
