"My deepest apologies!" If they weren't in a car, Kanna-chan guaranteed she would prostrate herself before Nian.
"I just saw your pupils dilated, as if you were bewildered, and your hand was pointing uncontrollably. Did something happen?" As a fragment of the Sui Beast, in Nian's memory, this only happened when one was possessed by a more powerful "life."
"No, weren't you curious how I knew what would happen later in Victoria? It's this! The inherited secret art of Yan, the Six Yao Divination! I was just divining in the void, and you interrupted me!"
Kanna-chan stated that there was no way to explain this system thing, but thinking about how Nian had been curious about how she knew things in advance before they happened, she immediately came up with an excuse.
From ancient times to the present, people have always hoped to glimpse fate, so there are legends of fortune-telling in every country. Kanna-chan directly borrowed the name of Six Yao Divination to try to gloss over the awkward situation in front of her.
???
Nian said she knew a thing or two about Six Yao; wasn't it something used by quack (jianghu Warlock - wandering fortune tellers) to fool people? Could it really be used to predict the past and future?
"Heh, there are many intricacies to this thing, and I can't explain it clearly to you. You just need to know that I know a little bit of information! And fortune-telling itself is very mysterious. For example, if fate is changed, is the result I calculated correct or incorrect? If it's correct, then it clearly didn't happen. If it's incorrect, then wouldn't I be at a huge loss running around for a wrong result?"
Counting on her fingers, Kanna-chan realized her foresight was also running out. Once Rhodes Island entered Londinium, she would probably have to stumble around blindly, because she had no idea what would happen then.
Nian also felt that Kanna-chan's words made sense, "That's the logic... but I always feel like you're fooling me..."
"With our relationship, how could I possibly fool you? Let's not talk about that. After listening to your words just now, I found that I've broken through a lot in my spells. Come and see if there's anything you find strange or can be extended in my other spells?"
By now, it was evening. Misery, finding no village or inn ahead, decided to stop the car and find a sheltered place to rest. Kanna-chan took this opportunity to chat with Nian about her other spells.
"Alright!" Seeing the car stop at the foot of a small hill, Nian got out of the car and stretched. During this time on an outdoor mission with Kanna-chan, there wasn't much danger or pressure, but riding in the car... Nian swore, after this mission, she would lie down for at least half a year when she returned to Rhodes Island, and unless it was to return to Yan, she would rather die than go on such a long-distance outdoor mission again. Riding in a car was torture for a dragon... After resting for a while and stretching her body, Kanna-chan began to demonstrate her various spells to Nian one by one... "Your Palm Thunder is used quite well, it has the flavor of the Tianshi Mansion! Even someone from the Tianshi Mansion probably couldn't tell if it's authentic or not.
As for that 'Heavenly Thunder Prison' move... I believe you've already felt it yourself, its range and power are far below your output. In fact, you can make the range of this move wider and larger, and its power greater.
I have to talk about this 'Eye of Electro' — its distance, range, and power are actually all within your control, which is very good.
But that Electro Seed, using 'Word of Power' to trigger it, I can understand, but why does it only last for seven days? I've checked the Electro Seed, and even before it dissipates, its energy doesn't seem to be consumed. So, why can't its duration be longer? If the energy is insufficient, can other energy sources be used to replenish it, thereby increasing its duration?"
Nian observed that there was a very strange point in Kanna-chan's spells: she seemed to deliberately add some completely unnecessary restrictions to these spells. In Nian's view, Electro should be something Kanna-chan could conjure effortlessly, so there shouldn't be many constraints. Kanna-chan could completely use these spells in a much more terrifying way.
After listening to Nian's words, Kanna-chan sat cross-legged on the spot, silently deducing these spells. Soon, a series of system prompts sounded before her.
She looked at the skill bar, and sure enough, her spells had all broken through the restrictions given by the system. Now, except for their names and appearances, all the quantified numbers they originally contained had vanished.
Nian, who was beside her, saw Kanna-chan, who had been closing her eyes for a long time, reopen them, her eyes faintly containing Electro light, and showed a satisfied smile.
"It seems you've gained a lot!"
"Indeed, I never realized before that I was confined within such a ridiculous square. Now..." Kanna-chan pointed to the sky. It was clearly a clear sky with white clouds, but under Kanna-chan's finger, countless lightning bolts appeared, then dissipated in an instant, making anyone who saw it wonder if they had imagined it.
"Stop playing. Everyone, let's eat and then rest. I just contacted Ms. Saria, and according to the plan, we'll meet up tomorrow." Misery, on the other side, not only served as the driver but also as the team's chef. Although he only made instant meals, and they were all those overly sweet things bought in Victoria, there was no other choice at the moment. Even the picky Nian had to hold her nose and swallow the food.
Of course, Kanna-chan was an exception... Disliking the taste of these foods, she didn't eat a single bite. Nian was well aware of this; back in Wolumonde, to conserve food, Kanna-chan also went a long time without eating, at most occasionally drinking a sip of water or milk. At the time, everyone was a bit worried about this, but Nian learned from Kanna-chan that she had no need for eating at all. Compared to ordinary creatures for whom eating is a necessary process, Kanna-chan's eating was more like a hobby.
Even without food or drink, she could replenish her body's energy through air and lightning. Failing that, she could directly swallow the active oripathy, which ordinary people feared, to meet her body's needs. Compared to herself, who needed to consume external energy to sustain life after many deficiencies, Nian believed that Kanna was only one step away from being a complete god—her own will.
Based on her observations of Kanna during this time, Nian was actually a little surprised. She didn't understand why this girl, who could completely dominate a region and become a true "god," was content to play house in the strange organization that was Rhodes Island.
