After complaining, it was time to get down to business.

If a wild magician was here, he could do nothing but take one step at a time. People may think that he acted at the right moment, but some people might think he was forced to act rashly. But Yue was not a wild magician. She came from the only magic school in the northwest region, and her teacher was the most powerful magician who had stepped into the Legendary Realm. Sometimes, she could also listen to the teaching of another top magician who had stepped into the Legendary Realm, and even the great God of Knowledge would come down to teach.

Throughout the whole Main Plane, there wasn’t another magic school with such high-quality teachers except for the highest tower where Ymirjar Le-Peyroux, the God of Spellcaster had dominated. Although the learning time was short, the students of the Isuka School of Magic had not grown to a brilliant level; many of her senior classmates had become mid-level sorcerers. Even herself, if she had laid a good foundation, would have reached mid-level.

The cost of laying a good foundation several years was that her caster rank could not keep up with those gifted teenagers of her age. The benefit was that her knowledge and skills had far exceeded the ordinary magicians.

For example, she knew how to arrange magic arrays, especially those high-level magic arrays.

The chief magician of the church of the Void Mask, Mr. Satan, who was respected as the purifying sage, had spent years of painstaking research to come up with a fantastic magic array that could effectively clean up the negative energy pollution.

The magic array was very complex, involving different links. If one was not taught carefully by Mr. Satan, he would not be able to make the magic array work even if he had drawn the array exactly the same according to the gourd.

The key of the magic array was to calculate the direction of energy flow according to the surrounding ground veins and eventually encompass the energy of this area and turn it into a closed circle.

If there was negative energy in this circle, it would become the power to stimulate the magic array, promoting the operation of the magic array. With the help of the characteristics of positive and negative energy conflicting, it would attract the positive energy located in a different world. Thus it could not only completely offset the negative energy but also could create a weak positive energy environment conducive to the reproduction of living beings.

Among the students of the Isuka School of Magic, except for the two predecessors who were teachers and had learned from the headmaster before the foundation of the school, only Yue knew how to arrange the magic array.

It was not Principal Felix who had taught her the magic array, but a friend of hers, Miss Nice, who was also her teacher.

Miss Nice was the closest disciple of Mr. Satan. It was a wonderful fate for Yue to meet her. But it was a long story that was not worth mentioning. In a word, they had a good relationship, so Nice taught her the magic array.

Yue did not know that this meant that she was recognized by the two magic giants of the church of the Void Mask and stepped into the core circle of casters.

It had nothing to do with her parents who were legendary masters, but because her personality and ability were recognized. She was excellent in talents, ability, and mind. Although she was ill-tempered to her parents, that was just a shortcoming.

How could Miss Nice teach Yue Mr. Satan’s greatest accomplishment of his life if she had not tested her reliability?

With her current ability, of course, Yue could not arrange a complete Purification Array. But it was possible for her to make a small one.

Now it was in the afternoon; it might be late for her to arrange the magic array by herself. Fortunately, she had some teammates.

“You said that we have to go outside of the old castle and arrange a magic array in the open space outside. When the evening comes, we will retreat to the magic array and spend the night inside, right?” the trainee knight, who was the captain asked. “That means we have to go camping… Is that necessary?”

“I hope it’s just a waste of efforts,” Yue said confidently. “But I believe it’s worth spending the night outside compared with getting paid for the task and avoid the risk of fighting with the ghosts at night.”

Her confident appearance convinced everyone. Therefore, a group of people who should have been searching inside the old castle went outside and arranged the magic array in the yard.

Arranging the magic array was a meticulous work, and it was absolutely unsuitable for ordinary people to do this. But it was not a problem for Yue.

The key of the purification array lied in those links, which were naturally made by herself and would never go wrong. What her companions had to do was to clear a section of flat ground wide enough to dig ditches according to her request, forming a very simple magic array.

Yes, the basic layout of the purification array was very simple, even if lay people would not make mistakes, not to mention those professional casters.

When Jose, the Red Flame Dragon led a group of people to arrange a huge magic array covering the whole Pyroxene Town. Now, it was called Pyroxene Town. The main excavation work was done by ordinary strong men who did not know anything about magic at all. As a result, the magic array had worked very well. Over the years, there were no problems.

Although Yue and her virtual adventure partners were not powerful, they were stronger than a group of ordinary strong men.

In fact, they did really well.

With the help of the trainee priest, the magic array had been excavated and laid out before dark.

Compared with her peers, Yue was slower in making those magic links. She had completed four-fifths of the magic links, and she would finish all the links by the sunset.

This was because this body was not her own body. There were many subtle differences in her work, so she had made a few mistakes that she should not have made in the beginning and had wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, she still had time.

Yue was not in a hurry, and she carefully carved complex patterns on the wood that had been cut into the shape of a nail. Every time she finished a piece, her companions would pin it into the kinks of the magic array.

She gradually increased her speed of carving. When the red sun in the west completely set, leaving only the remaining light to illuminate the ground, the last nail was nailed into the ground, and the whole magic array was completed.

At that moment, everyone all felt that there was a white flash of light in front of them, but when the white light was fleeting, they all felt that it was an illusion.

However, the sudden sense of freshness in the air was definitely not an illusion!

“Now, let’s just wait for the ghosts to attack us,” Yue patted the sawdust off her body and said with a smile. “I hope the ghosts attack us tonight so that we can finish the task earlier and go back to receive our rewards.”

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
