"Ma, ma shoo shoo suss suss..."
And then she shyly retreated again.
"She's very shy."
"Ah, really don't know what to do with her."
Vivien said with so frustration.
Matthew waved his hand to indicate it was no problem and casually asked,
"By the way, what's her na?"
Hibbert proudly introduced,
"Due to the Deep Dive program, her previous na was actually a codena of sorts, aningless."
"But fortunately, she passed the final test recently, all indicators were perfect, and she t all the requirents for test subjects to have a normal life as set by the Deep Dive program."
"She has gained all the rights a normal person would have."
"To celebrate this, I've given her a beautiful na, called—"
"Ye Li."
"How about it? Sounds nice, doesn't it?"
Vivien, rarely without objection, concurred instead,
"I think it's very fitting."
Matthew was slightly taken aback.
Suddenly,
A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind!
"Ye Li... Ye Li..."
"I've finally rembered..."
"That's the na of the Goddess of Magic!"
Imnse joy surged in Matthew's heart!
Though he didn't know why,
He was thrilled that the lost mory had returned!
Matthew looked at the expressions of Hibbert and Vivien,
Realizing that both might have forgotten the existence of The Goddess of Magic, Ye Li.
"When did you na her?"
Matthew asked Hibbert.
The latter pondered,
"Just a while ago?"
"It seems that was when you were busy dealing with Canning's affairs, right?"
"I had wanted to help, but I was also tied up with matters in the north..."
As Matthew had guessed,
After the God of Truth forcibly tried to resurrect the deceased Ye Li,
Hibbert and Vivien's daughter—
A mber of the Deep Dive program, suspected to possess the branding of The Goddess of Magic, Ye Li, had mysteriously acquired this fixed na.
The weight of this na was not light.
Matthew also managed to grasp a part of the 'Eternal Disappearance' during that incident.
And this experience of losing and regaining gave him a deeper understanding and insight into the spell.
"Is this the relationship between a soul and a branding?"
"This little girl, and the aberrant resurrected Ye Li, they are actually the brandings and traces left by Ye Li."
"Ye Li seed to have been completely annihilated."
"But she will continue to exist in this world in another form."
"The sa brandings, different souls..."
"Is this the essence of life..."
A number of realizations dawned on Matthew.
His understanding of the domain of life had deepened further.
Following,
The group was led by the staff mber to the Thunder Mountain Domain.
This area was ho to a large number of barbarians.
Since many of the barbarians lived within the bunkers,
They ca to be known as the Bunker Clan.
According to the staff mber,
The Bunker Clan lived in seclusion year-round, abiding by their own rules within this mountainous region.
Most of these barbarians were fearso and strong, with great physical strength but without any grasp of magic.
"But they were the earliest, and the most loyal servants to the Calamity Mage."
"The Calamity Mage also built the most precious Arcane Castle in one of the bunkers and entrusted the duty of guarding the castle to these non-magic beings."
"For the Bunker Clan, perhaps this is the best reward that loyalty can bring."
Led by the staff mber,
They ca before a hidden bunker.
After a sowhat complex exchange with the barbarian warriors responsible for guarding the place,
The gates of the bunker finally opened for them.
The group walked for about fifteen minutes along the narrow, cramped tunnels.
Along the way, they discovered a great deal of potatoes, carrots, turnips, and other foods stored along the outer tunnels.
Most of these foods still had dirt on them and were kept in baskets by the side of the tunnel.
It seed as though the barbarians were using the entrance to the Arcane Castle as a cellar or storage room!
In response to Matthew's puzzled look,
The staff mber chuckled wryly:
"No way around it."
"It's an order from the Calamity Mage—do not disturb the original ecology of the Bunker Clan."
"If they like to use this place as a cellar, that's their business; we have no right to interfere."
As they spoke,
a group of people arrived in front of a massive stone wall.
Matthew noticed
that there were six magic circles inscribed on the ground in front of the stone wall,
each facing directly at the wall
at a distance of roughly thirty to forty ters apart.
"Both of you can choose any one of the magic circles to officially enter the Arcane Castle."
"It is worth ntioning that everyone will face different training content inside the castle."
"All you need to do is follow the desires of your heart."
"The spell training in the castle can skyrocket your strength, but rember not to lose yourself in it."
"It's best to set a ti point or a rigid constraint before the training; when the condition is triggered, leave imdiately."
"Otherwise, there is a risk of getting completely lost!"
After the staff mber repeated so training precautions,
he signaled for the two to step onto the magic circles.
Matthew subconsciously glanced to the side.
Unexpectedly,
the little Ye Li, who had just been very shy, bravely stepped out from behind Vivien.
She stood firmly in the center of the magic circle.
A few seconds later,
a curious scene occurred—
Matthew saw tiny pinpoints of light shining on the magic circle.
Sohow,
the body of the little girl bathed in the glowing light beca thin like that of the cloud elves!
No,
even more delicate than the cloud elves.
Matthew's eyes widened.
He saw Ye Li transford into a paper-thin existence by a mysterious and powerful force.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A gentle breeze blew from the depths of the bunker.
The wind carried the paper-like figure towards the giant stone wall.
Seconds later,
the "paper" adhered to the stone wall.
Ye Li's figure also slowly rged into it and disappeared from view!
"So it is."
"The process of entering the Arcane Castle is to go from three dinsions to two."
"Training spells from a two-dinsional perspective can grant partial exemption from the various drawbacks of excessive spell training in a three-dinsional world!"
At that mont,
Matthew had an epiphany.
He beca even more curious about the content within the stone wall.
Right then,
he stepped onto the magic circle next to little Ye Li.
Seconds later,
a light feeling ca over him.
In a blink,
all that remained before him were countless points of light arrayed on a black plane!
Matthew focused on these points of light.
Soon,
he realized that each point represented a spell he had mastered!
"What spell do you want to train?"
A voice ca from deep within himself.
"Follow your desires."
"Based on your potential and aptitude, you can train up to three additional signature spells here."
"Added to the slots for signature spells you originally possessed, that makes four in total."
"Co,"
"make your choice."
The voice was ethereal and slightly strange.
But after carefully listening to it, Matthew found out that it was his own voice!
"Interesting..."
"Follow the desires of my heart?"
"So, my fourth signature spell is you..."
His thoughts road,
and a dozen points of light swiftly flew towards him.
...
「Prompt: You have established "Transfiguration (including Shapeshifting Form)" as your fourth signature spell.
Spell training begins...」
