Paul took the lead, bringing everyone into the big forest of Buena Village.
Even though there might be dangerous magical beasts in the forest, Paul wasn't scared at all, seeming quite calm, worthy of a seasoned adventurer.
During the trip, Laws suddenly spoke, "Miss Roxy is a water saint-level mage, right?"
"That's right."
Roxy nodded, looking curiously at the blonde half-elf beside her.
"Actually, my daughter is almost old enough to learn magic." Laws said, with a hint of asking for help, "If possible, I hope Miss Roxy can also teach my daughter magic."
"Laws, don't you know magic yourself?"
Roxy seemed a bit confused.
"Why do you think Laws knows magic, Roxy?"
Shirou couldn't help but ask from the side.
"Well, where should I start explaining... First of all, magic was originally created by the ancient elves." Because they were talking about serious matters, Roxy didn't reject Shirou's presence at all, giving a serious answer, "Before the war between humans and demons, when the world was still chaotic and full of war, the ancient elves talked to the forest spirits, controlling wind and earth to defend against enemies. Legend says this was the birth of the oldest magic in history."
"Magic was created by elves?"
"Yes, human magic is just a technology later learned during the war by copying the magic of the elves and simulating its form. Humans are especially good at this."
Roxy always spoke freely about magic, "In some ways, humans have mastered magic far beyond the elves. Not only element magic, but also healing magic and summoning magic, able to summon magical beasts or spirit creatures with needed abilities."
"There's also summoning magic? Roxy, can you do summoning magic?"
"No, I can't do summoning magic."
Roxy shook her head, "However, if you can get a magical item with summoning magic on it, even ordinary people can use summoning magic. Oh, magical items are items with special effects, with magic circles carved inside, so even non-casters can use them. But, magical items usually use a lot of magic power. If there are no people with magic power inside you, you can't use them."
When talking about magic topics, Roxy was always very serious and detailed. Shirou greatly admired her behavior.
"Anyway, because Mr. Laws is a half-elf, I thought he would know magic."
Roxy finished her statement.
"Unfortunately, not all elves know magic." Laws shook his head, "My mother, as a pure elf, isn't good at magic. Magic isn't a special skill of elves anymore."
"I see." Roxy nodded and remembered the previous topic, "I'm sorry, Mr. Laws, I'm currently working as a tutor for the Greyrat family and I don't have time to do extra things."
"No, that's understandable."
Laws didn't have high hopes to begin with, he was just bringing up the topic.
"Although I can't teach your daughter magic, but if it's my student..."
As Roxy spoke, she instinctively glanced at Shirou, but then suddenly remembered something and strangely looked away.
Shirou didn't understand what Roxy's strange behavior was about and was planning to continue asking some questions about magic.
"Wait!"
Just then, Paul suddenly gave the command to stop, looking ahead with an urgent expression!
Instantly, Shirou and everyone there became alert. Although Shirou was participating in this kind of thing for the first time, he had plenty of combat experience. Both he and Servant Emiya actually had extremely rich combat experience and knew the right decisions to make in battle!
"Tap...tap..."
Strange sounds gradually emerged in the dark forest.
Paul immediately had everyone maintain formation. He stood at the front as the main force, Roxy was protected in the core as the mage, and Shirou, Laws, and the other villagers defended on the flanks.
As time slowly passed, just as everyone was about to hold their breath, several magical wolves suddenly jumped out of the shadows.
The magical wolves have the appearance of wolves, but they are larger than ordinary wolves, with magic patterns marked on their bodies that give off an alluring glow.
They clearly inherited the habits of the original wolf packs, still moving in groups. Because they gained intelligence after being enchanted, they were like an army, with clear commands and actions.
"Damn it!"
Paul didn't expect so many magical beasts to appear at once. The big forest of Buena Village couldn't produce such monsters. He could only draw his sword and block!
At the same time, Roxy began to chant: "May the blessing of the great water come to where you ask. A cool shallow stream appears here - waterball."
"Boom!"
As Roxy raised the staff in her hand, she poured all her magic power into it.
A huge water ball was released from her hand.
"Pop!"
The water ball cut through the air, hitting the leading magical wolf straight on and knocking it down.
But there were far more than that one magic wolf. After seeing their companion fall, the other magic wolves turned their attention and began to focus on Roxy, the core output mage.
"Careful!"
Paul's eyes widened. He realized he had miscalculated this time. There were more monsters in the forest than he thought, and ordinary villagers couldn't deal with these monsters at all.
If a fragile mage like Roxy was caught by a monster, she wouldn't be able to put up effective resistance.
"!!!"
Roxy herself undoubtedly understood this.
As an experienced adventurer, she immediately realized her danger. She had no idea how to deal with the monsters attacking from all directions.
Even if she used earth magic to create a wall, it could only protect one direction, not stop the monsters attacking from other directions.
"No!"
Just as Roxy watched the magic wolf attack her, and its terrifying fangs were about to bite her, the sound of a bowstring vibrating and an arrow cutting through the air suddenly rang out.
"Pop!" "Pop!" "Pop!"
Several arrows cut through space and struck the attacking magic wolves.
Each arrow was very accurate, hitting the magic wolves' weak spots, either the eyes or the soft cartilage. Almost instantly, all the monsters were forced back.
Seeing this, Paul was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Laws, when did your archery become so good? It's as good as a top-notch adventurer!"
"This..."
Hearing Paul's words, Laws, who didn't have time to draw his bow, was stunned. He then said awkwardly, "No, that wasn't me."
"What?"
Hearing Laws' response, Paul was stunned, then realized that the arrows weren't coming from Laws, but from the red-haired boy some distance away from Laws.
Those arrows were shot by Shirou!
