Chapter 11

At first, Tita’s falling momentum was comparable to thunder, but the closer it got to the ground, the slower the flying stick fell. In the last five meters, the speed was comparable to a feather flying in the air. To those who have studied classical physics, this scene is absolutely very strange.

The flying stick hovered in the air one meter above the ground, and Tita jumped down with a “hey” and kicked her legs lightly on the lawn. She half-knelt in front of Lu Yihang and quickly checked his injuries.

“You came just in time.” Lv Yihang smiled weakly.

Tita had previously set up a mind-connecting formation called “Star of David” on him, so he could sense that he was in danger and came to help in time. Ancient secrets are sometimes more effective than modern technology, and even the time to dial a mobile phone number is saved, otherwise how could it be hidden from Chloe’s eyes and ears?

Fortunately, apart from a few bruises and scratches, Lv Yihang did not have a single bleeding wound. Tita held his head in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief:

“It’s nothing serious. If you were a football player, you would get injuries ten times more serious than this every year.”

The reason why Lv Yihang did not suffer much injury was all thanks to the protection of the magic weapon. When he was a child, his grandfather gave him a jade pendant to ward off evil spirits. Lu Yihang originally only used it to avoid the harassment of demons in the wilderness, but he didn’t expect it to be effective just now, blocking Chloe’s “Eternal Fire Punishment” that was not fully cast. This use was indeed unexpected.

Lu Yihang escaped from the life-and-death crisis, but he also missed the opportunity to act like a spoiled child. He couldn’t help but say angrily: “Can’t you say something nice to comfort me? After all, I am also a wounded soldier.”

“I will comfort you, in the form of revenge. Wait and see, I will make the bitch of the Cross pay the price.”

Tita placed Lu Yihang under the shade of the tree and stuffed “Ascend to the Sky” into his arms. Lu Yihang vaguely felt that the warmth of Tita’s palm was still on the staff. He felt a sense of security, as if Tita was nestling beside him, rubbing her palm in his arms.

“I’ll be back soon,” said Titta, turning around and standing up, slowly walking towards Chloe. The complicated princess braids behind her head shone brightly in the sun, and the dark and mysterious Gothic long skirt swayed.

This elegant dress should have been shown at a banquet full of celebrities, but now it was facing the autumn wind over the deserted island in the middle of the lake; this pair of shiny Mary Jane shoes should have been stepped on the soft carpet, but now it was trudging on the muddy lawn; this magic princess should have been arranging flowers, embroidering, reciting poems and painting in her boudoir, but now she was going through fire and water for the one she loved.

Her back was petite and slender, but it contained an unwavering spirit. In order to protect her lover, she would not hesitate to be an enemy of the most powerful force in the world.

--Everything she did was for me, right?

Lu Yihang looked at the graceful back between him and Chloe, and couldn’t help but feel moved:

Good, so handsome.

I am almost fascinated by such a brave, powerful, talented and beautiful girl ... Oh, I am already fascinated, that’s fine.

Tita stopped about ten meters in front of Chloe. She knew that she needed to leave a certain buffer space to avoid being attacked by a spear.

“Are you, a Jew?”

Chloe glanced at Tita, with a smile on her face, not hiding her contempt.

She was not surprised by Tita’s help. The villain must have accomplices, wouldn’t it be a good idea to deal with them together?

In order to prepare for war, she made a list of students who were related to Lu Yihang and investigated them thoroughly. The name of “Tita Klink” was naturally at the top of this list.

Chloe spied on Tita’s performance in the Freshman Cup and did a thorough background check. From the information collected, Tita was a descendant of a Jewish magic family, and all the magic he used came from “Manna”. The barrier formed by “manna” - “Shekinah” - that blocked the attack of the Saint Armed Forces just now should be.

“Exodus” records that when Moses led the Israelites to walk in the wilderness, God gave them food called “manna”. It was a holy food that fell from the sky. In the magic world of later generations, the energy used by Jewish magicians was named after it.

“Nothing can escape the intelligence network of the state religion!”

Chloe thought she had seen through all of Tita’s details, and snorted with confidence.

However, Tita’s answer was beyond her expectations - “I’m not Jewish.” Tita looked deeply into Chloe’s eyes, as if she felt sympathy and pity for her limited understanding: “My Jewish mother abandoned the family that gave birth to her. I am not a believer of any religion. My ancestors fought against the tyranny of God with their mortal bodies. I have the blood of a god-killer flowing in my body, and I love to write poems about original sin.” Tita’s words were full of arrogance, and she did not take the faith of the Anglican nuns into consideration at all. Chloe suppressed her anger, frowned and smiled: “I hope that speaking wildly is not your only ability, you antichrist.” Tita said provocative words calmly: “If you think I am rude, why don’t you punish me as much as you can?” Tita Klink, a mixed-race child of Israeli and German descent, has been immersed in a culture that runs counter to Christianity since childhood. The former nation produced the murderer who killed Jesus, and the latter land gave birth to the philosopher who declared “God is dead”. She is here to oppose the devout nun Chloe of the state religion. Isn’t it due to some kind of inexplicable fate?

“It’s just a Jewish magician. What’s so difficult about it? If they really have such great abilities, how could they be expelled from the Holy Land of Canaan and scattered around the world for thousands of years?”

Chloe gritted her teeth and pointed the tip of the holy spear at Tita. This gun is made of exactly the same material as the Saint Armor, and is also a “man-made holy object” developed by Theia Company. With its sharpness, it is as easy to pierce human flesh as to pierce a piece of paper.

After seeing Tita fight with manna, Chloe preconceived that Jewish magic is the only means of this German magician-because of the existence of the “law of ability exclusion”, humans cannot use two kinds of magic that are too different in nature.

This law is not difficult to understand. In different schools of thought, magic is called differently. For example, Taoists call it “true qi” and Christians call it “holy power”. They represent two systems of supernatural powers, and both the way of cultivation and the skills of operation are completely different.

If multiple magic powers with different principles coexist in one person, they will inevitably repel and fight each other. The result is either that one magic power completely overwhelms the others, and there will be peace from then on; or that the host’s internal organs will rupture and die after a long struggle.

However, if Chloe had a broader vision, had seen any Jewish rabbi in person, or had a deeper understanding of Jewish magic, she would have noticed something wrong: the amount of manna in Tita’s body was very shabby, and the magic techniques she used were also quite crude.

That’s right, Tita couldn’t use the ingenious and exquisite Jewish or Kabbalah rituals like her mother. Anyway, she only knew two tricks, both of which were the most basic ones.

--Releasing manna outside the body is the “Shekinah” to ward off evil and protect the body; running manna in the internal organs is the “Merkaba” to enhance physical fitness.

When she was a child, Tita learned many Jewish scriptures from her mother and read the “Tanakh” and “Talmud” thoroughly, but she preferred to learn the classical magic of ancient Greece and Rome from her father, and was more obsessed with memorizing great classics such as “On the Nature of Things”. The two cultures taught by both parents gave Tita two ways to supernatural powers:

The magic of Jewish doctrine is called “Manna (מן)”; the magic of Epicurean classical magic is called “Soul (Animus & Anima)”.

Two energies with different sources and properties fought fiercely in Tita’s body, and the final result was that the first to arrive won, and the soul became the main magic in her body. Under her suppression, manna can only maintain a little bit, which is no different from a novice in the eyes of insiders.

Tita reserved her strength in the Freshman Cup and only used the manna that she was not very familiar with to fight the enemy. Of course, it was to deal with the situation like today.

- In order not to let the enemy in the dark catch her handle!

“Romulus, the builder of the city, gave me the advantage of weapons; Quirinus, wearing the royal robe, taught me the art of war...”

Tita chanted a spell and called for “Anima” to fly out from the pattern of her robe.

Needless to say, this is her most proud real skill.

Her “Anima” is violently aggressive, like a gust of cold wind raging and howling. In less than ten seconds, all the natural scenery on the island is shrouded in it, as if falling into a long and silent night. There are no waves on the lake, no wind in the forest, and even the autumn cicadas have completely stopped chirping.

This unpopular and strange magic once made Lu Yihang terrified, but after getting along with Tita for a long time, he felt friendly and cute instead. After all, she was the girl he loved deeply. Lv Yihang liked her magic power just as he admired her beauty.

Unlike Lv Yihang, who was used to seeing Tita’s magic power, Chloe felt uncomfortable all over, so she raised her spear with a sullen face and looked around vigilantly.

--This is not a Jewish skill!

The spear she held tightly in her hand, “Lumière Céleste”, was a sacred spear that led the heroes like Joan of Arc. It had been with her for three years and was a treasure that she loved and was proud of. However, when the tip of the spear moved in the air, it did not make the usual crisp and clear sound of breaking through the air, but a low sound like sobbing, which made people feel very bored.

Chloe squinted and looked carefully. The magic power locked around her was not chaotic, but stacked on top of each other, forming a mysterious stable structure, like a high-rise building with steel and iron bones. Even if she tried her best to break a part of it, it would soon be closed by the surrounding magic.

“When I first learned Chinese, I read a novel called “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. Lu Xun’s army was trapped in Zhuge Liang’s “Eight Diagrams Formation”, unable to advance or retreat ... Now, am I trapped in the formation?”

Chloe’s worries were quite sharp, and she even guessed the principle of Tita’s magic, because Tita used the technique of imitating architecture.

--”Imitation of Holy City”!

This is the name of the magic used by Tita, and it is also the unique secret technique created by her mother Livka Klink.

Livka studied in Jerusalem when she was young and gained valuable inspiration there: Jerusalem has been recognized as a holy city by the world since ancient times, and its sacredness does not only come from the sacred events that happened on this land. There must be profound ingenuity behind its urban structure and architectural layout.

After that, she began to delve into the magical ideas behind ancient architecture and traveled around the world’s ancient cities looking for inspiration. After more than ten years, she eventually became an unparalleled female rabbi. Her unique skill, “The Simulated Holy City - The City of God”, became famous in the magic world.

Using magic to build a city, who in history has ever had such a grand idea?

It is impossible to accomplish such a feat with the magic power of one person. Even if many people work together, it will take at least several days to weeks. For this reason, Livka carefully designed a set of robes “Midnight and Sun Equinox”. The more than 500 laces on it can chant spells like a human mouth. When combined and superimposed, it is no different from a choir that assists in casting spells. With this robe as a premise, “simulating a holy city” has practical value.

Unlike her mother who devoted herself to studying Jerusalem, Tita, who read ancient Latin books, was more attracted to another holy city, and then adapted her mother’s magic.

Which holy city is Tita thinking about?

- Rome.

Rome, which was built three thousand years ago, is located in the central Apennines and dominates the Mediterranean!

“ ... Romans, remember that you should conquer all nations with your authority. This will be your specialty. You should establish a peaceful order, be generous to those who submit, and conquer the arrogant through war.”

In the underworld, Anchises warned Aeneas like this. Aeneas went through many hardships and finally came to the Latium region and became the ancestor of the Romans.

This passage is very appropriate to describe the historical trajectory of Rome. It was inspired by this spirit that the Romans launched foreign conquests again and again.

--Rome is the center of the universe and the master of destiny!

As an admirer of classical civilization, Tita’s magic is also very Roman, as mighty and eagle as the Roman legions that conquered the world, and as comprehensive and detailed as the Roman laws that span the sky and the earth.

“So neat, so beautiful.” Lu Yihang sat on the ground, watching Tita’s magic, and exclaimed that only the supernatural could understand.

Tita used his “spirit” to create an oval building similar to the shape of a modern stadium. In this space, magic imitated the ancient Roman engineering skills to form a stable structure, with arches and columns interlaced and staggered, which was a unique geometric picture.

This is the “simulated holy city” that belongs to Tita Klink, and she is the only one in the world who has mastered the secret method - “simulated holy city, world capital”.

For magic, “imitation” is the most basic idea. Generally speaking, all the thousands of spells in the world take something as a prototype, such as natural phenomena, such as sacred events. Tita is imitating the most famous building in Rome at this time - “Amphitheatrum Flavium”.

The Colosseum was built by Emperor Nero for bloody gladiatorial performances. When people hear the name “Rome”, they will probably think of its majestic appearance first.
