8: How to Use Word Magic
Although he didn't know what he was thinking, Kira could feel the envy and admiration in Rocky's words.
"Huh? I can't pretend I didn't hear you! Do you want to try out the power of the Ice Shape?"
The peace-loving Kira couldn't bear to see these two good friends fighting, so he immediately tried to stop them: "Don't be angry, Gray. Rocky is a straightforward person who likes to tell the truth. Don't be too picky with him!"
Do you look like you're trying to stop a fight?
Gray's face looked a little ugly: "Why? Do you also think the Ice Shape is weak?"
"Ice will always melt." Kira did not answer directly, but just stated a physical phenomenon.
"Can what you make last forever?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you have to clean up things after you use them. If you keep them on all the time, it will consume magic power. Hmm...I think ice won't have that because it's disposable, which is better in this respect, but it also means that more magic power will be consumed...Well, from this point of view, my modeling magic is still stronger!"
After all, Gray couldn't beat Kira, so he could only remain silent.
Several people boarded the boat and headed towards Karna Island.
On the boat, Rocky couldn't help but say, "Come to think of it, I've always been interested in your magic. It seems that it's very special."
After these words were spoken, even Kana and Gray looked at Rocky.
They knew long ago that the word magic used by Kira was a kind of text magic, but it was different from Levi's three-dimensional text and the ritual text of Filied and the Thunder Gods. It was a kind of magic that could achieve "text shaping".
However, using text to shape it is too strange.
"What's so special about that? Shape-shaping magic is already so bizarre, let alone using words. I even know there is a magic called memory-shaping magic in this world!"
"That's right! Shaping magic is the most free magic!" Unlike the other two, Gray immediately thought of his master's words and agreed loudly.
Gray and his two disciples all used the same ice-shaped magic, but the types of magic were different: Master Uru's shape was a plant; Senior brother Leon's shape was an animal representing "movement"; and as for Gray, it was a weapon representing "stillness".
"Also, shape is just one of the ways to use Word Magic. Hmm... Speaking of which, I think this is more like a kind of figurative magic than shape."
"Concrete? What kind of magic is that?"
"That is a more mysterious, older, and more complex magic, a kind of lost magic."
"Oh, the memory shaping I just mentioned is also a kind of lost magic. It can create things in the user's memory, including magic, and can even combine magic. It can almost be said to be the most powerful type of shaping magic!"
"My ice form is also very strong!"
Kira shook his head. "If you have an elemental shape, you will still be limited by the attribute restraint. If you encounter a wizard with bad compatibility, you will suffer a great loss. If your own magic power and physical fitness are not as good as the opponent, it will be even worse."
"You, after saying so much, aren't you trying to say that your strength is far more than this?"
"Ah, you're really smart, Kana!"
"You really deserve a beating for saying something like that!"
Kira showed off his skills with a bit of pride on his face. "Think about it carefully. Why can I create so many magic items with special functions? Even if my talent in magic is unmatched, it is impossible that I am also gifted in forging. Even if it is true, how can I have time to practice forging when I spend most of my time practicing magic?"
"This must be related to my magic!"
Kana rolled her eyes and said, "Ah? I've never seen you practice magic before!"
"To be honest, I've always been curious about how you made those magic items."
"Could it be that all your magic props are concrete?"
"How is that possible? If that's the case, it will be discovered soon," Kira patted the sailboat under him, "and as I said just now, if something made with magic is not kept magical, it will eventually disappear."
"What on earth is that..."
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. Don't worry, this mission will open your eyes."
With a "bang", the sailboat docked.
Time always passes quickly when traveling, and on the small sailboat, the sound of playing cards on the boat came to an abrupt end.
Kira stood up and stretched, then called out to the three people whose faces were covered with stickers: "Stop playing, the boat has docked, let's go and do our mission."
"Hey, you bastard, stop trying to cheat! You've already lost, come on and put the pieces on..."
But how could such words keep Kira, who had a mission in mind?
"Nonsense, we are on a mission now! How can you think about playing?"
Kira spoke righteously, and nimbly broke free from the encirclement of the three people, turned around and jumped off the boat.
In one go, the soles of the shoes are silky smooth.
"This guy was the one who suggested playing cards first! But he refused to admit his loss!"
Seeing that Kira was about to cancel the magic, the three had no choice but to stop playing and get off the boat.
"Come to think of it, I still don't know what the mission is?"
"Me too."
"Huh? Didn't you guys watch it yesterday? To lift the curse."
Kira was speechless. These guys only wanted to complete the S-rank mission, but they followed him without knowing what the mission was about? If they were from Fairy Tail, they were just careless.
"Remove the curse? Then how are you going to do that? Can you do that with your Word Magic?"
"Who knows? But after all, the 'curse' is just what the island residents say. As an S-class wizard, you can't be fooled by such one-sided statements. We have to wait and see what the situation is."
"Just follow me and take a good look at how an S-class wizard performs his mission!"
The three followed the instructions on the map, passed through the woods outside the island, and came to the village of the islanders.
Along the way, Kira discovered that it was not surprising that Karna Island was ignored by the Council. The reason was that the living environment seemed to be still in the primitive society.
The walls built with wooden stakes, the watchtowers that are only three or four stories high, and the simple and primitive weapons made only of sticks and stones in the hands of the guards all show that this island is technologically backward.
You know, whether it is the Kingdom of Fiore or other countries in Ishgar, magic and technology are developed side by side, and neither is lagging behind.
Of course, the technology here is based on magic.
Let's talk about magic crystals. There are different types of magic crystals on the mainland. For example, those used for lighting can be seen everywhere on the streets, such as street lamps; those used for recording images, and reporters from monthly magazines and other companies all have one...
The magic crystal can be regarded as the cheapest and most common magic prop on the continent. This means that although the technology of this world is closely linked to magic, its level of development is definitely not inferior to that of the technological society.
Even if it is high-end technology, there are weapons such as magic elf power and fez in this world.
From this perspective, the technology on Karna Island is at least three hundred years behind.
