Chapter 116 Elemental Manipulation

Yanami made her selections, choosing from various types of magic.

Useful healing magic, simple shield magic, and complex shield magic; earth magic that can create earth walls for defense; wind magic for offense; and various other types of magic.

It basically made up for Yanami's magical shortcomings in every way.

("How are these spells?")

Before making a final decision, Yanami showed Klein the list of spells she had prepared.

("It's great, very comprehensive.")

However, Klein doesn't know anything about magic, so he can't offer any advice... If it were that magician Anna, she might be able to give some good advice, right?

After gaining Klein's approval, Yanami handed over the list of magic spells she had compiled to Sunflower.

"Could you please help me estimate how many magic cores these spells are worth?"

The moment she handed it over, Yanami wondered if she should give it to her assistant, but before she could take it back, Himawari had already accepted the list.

"OK."

Sunflower picked up the list and started looking at it. At first, her expression was calm, but it changed halfway through.

"Probably... worth fifty magic cores."

Fifty pieces is acceptable, or rather, it's a bit too cheap.

Although the Winged Serpent Dragon's magic core is valuable, it's not outrageously so. Perhaps its high value is due to the rat tribe's generosity.

"However, the magic attributes you chose are quite diverse, basically covering all types. Learning magic across attributes will be extremely difficult. It's best to choose your own innate attribute, right?"

"Of course I know, but it's okay."

Sunflower raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat confused, unsure whether Yanami was making the choice for herself or for the sake of her ten subordinates...

But when her gaze swept across Yanami's blue eyes, her hesitation seemed to dissipate, but then she seemed to suddenly remember something and hesitated again.

"Since that's the case..."

"What's wrong?"

Yanami took a step closer, trying to hear her soft moan, but only heard a sigh.

Seemingly with a hint of reluctance, Sunflower spoke again.

"Miss Yanami, I have a magic spell that I hope you will take a look at."

Sunflower gave Yanami an approving smile, and although Yanami was a little confused, she nodded.

"OK."

Sunflower turned to look at her assistant, Dandelion, and nodded to her.

Immediately afterwards, Dandelion took out another book, but it was much, much thinner, looking like a booklet with only a few pages.

Sunflower turned a few pages, finally stopping near the end. She covered up the rest, only showing Yanami what she could see.

This put Yanami under immense pressure, as if the book she was given to read was extremely important.

"Please look."

Under the sunflower's gaze, Yanami picked up the book that only revealed a section of information and saw the most prominent title on it—the name of a magic spell.

"Elemental manipulation?"

"That's right, keep watching."

So-called elemental manipulation magic is a very special kind of attribute-less magic, but at the same time it can also be magic of any attribute.

As the name suggests, this magic's ability is to manipulate elements, enabling it to control movement and change form, in a sense similar to Yanami's water manipulation.

The reason it can be called magic of any attribute is that to manipulate the corresponding elemental attribute, you need the corresponding attribute magic power, so it can also be called magic of any attribute.

Seeing this, Yanami's interest was piqued; this kind of magic seemed incredibly useful.

"How much is this magic worth?"

Are you interested?

"Yes."

The sunflower smiled with satisfaction.

"Then... how about fifty magic cores?"

"Fifty, fifty?"

Isn't it the fifteenth?

Yanami's voice was filled with disbelief, because the contrast was too great.

You know, Yanami just chose so many spells, and on average each spell only costs a few magic cores... but this spell is so expensive.

Although this magic seems quite powerful, it's actually not that strong, is it?

"Yes, it's fifty. This magic is arguably the most valuable magic here. It wasn't originally meant to be traded with you; it was supposed to be a magic we couldn't share."

Sunflower looked at the magic with a complicated expression, even a hint of bitterness, which aroused Yanami's curiosity.

"Then why show it to me?"

"Because this magic is too difficult, even if everyone learns it, they can usually only control one substance. Only those with multi-attribute talents or all-attribute talents can truly unleash the full power of this magic. Therefore, its value is greatly reduced."

Judging from its difficulty and effects, this is a very valuable spell, but it is still far from being worth fifty magic cores.

Could it be because... Klein had a vague feeling that this magic was far more powerful than what was described on the surface, and that there were even more powerful effects hidden beneath the surface?

"We can't unleash the full power of this magic, so we might as well sell it to someone who can, and we can also build a good relationship with them...right?"

"I appreciate your willingness to share... However, even if you can manipulate all the elements, the effect of this magic isn't that powerful, is it?"

"If that's all there is to it, it's definitely not worth the price."

"...There must be other effects as well, right?"

Yanami seemed to have guessed correctly; Sunflower's eyes curved slightly into a smile.

"Imagine what would happen if you were manipulating someone else's elements?"

Like the finishing touch on a painting, Yanami was awakened by her words, her surprise and excitement overflowing.

"Could it be... that I can control other people's magic?"

"That's right! If you are skilled enough and powerful enough, this magic can control all elemental magic. The simplest use is to interfere with the execution of other elemental magic, or even directly eliminate magic that has already taken shape."

"But this spell is called Elemental Manipulation... Does that mean it can even manipulate other people?"

The sunflower's smile was full, and praise was almost overflowing from the corners of her mouth.

"That's right."

Although I had already mentioned this possibility in my own speculation, hearing her confirmation with my own ears still brought an overwhelming surge of excitement and shock.

"Please, please give me this magic!"

"Of course, it's better if you can use it perfectly than to let this magic gather dust in our warehouse."

Sunflower gave Yanami a meaningful smile, which Yanami neither agreed nor denied.

"Then let's trade these spells."

Sunflower nodded, then handed the list to Dandelion beside her.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all I need for now. If I have the chance, I might come again."

"You're really not being polite."

Although she said that, Sunflower had an approving smile on her face.

"Then I'll be more polite next time I come."

"You'll be welcome then."
