Chapter 5 : New Spell

The next morning, as the sun's golden rays pierced through the thatched roof of the village chief's hut, Draven joined Elderius at the wooden table. The scent of freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling with the aroma of steaming tea.

Elderius, his wrinkled face etched with concern, began, "Draven, my young friend, I must share with you the plight that has befallen our village. The goblins, this foul creatures of the forest, have been wreaking havoc, raiding our farms and causing fear among our people. We need a solution to safeguard our village."

Draven listened attentively, his mind racing with thoughts and ideas. While he possessed vast knowledge from his previous life in the advanced world, he was still unfamiliar with the specific habits and behaviors of goblins. He realized the importance of gathering information before formulating a solution. With a determined look, he replied, "Elderius, I appreciate your trust in me. However, before I propose a solution, I need to understand the goblins better. Their habits, strengths, and weaknesses."

Elderius nodded, his eyes filled with wisdom. "You speak wisely, Draven. Knowledge is the foundation for success. Let me share with you what we have learned about these goblins over the years."

As the morning turned into midday, Elderius provided Draven with valuable insights. He described how the goblins preferred to strike under the cover of darkness, their fondness for hiding in the dense underbrush of the forest, and their vulnerability to light and loud noises. Draven absorbed this information, his mind piecing together the fragments of knowledge from both his previous life and the newfound understanding of goblins.

Draven's remembered in his previous world, they have a technology that can detect and deter intruders maybe i can employed it here.

With the intel now at his disposal, Draven's face lit up with a spark of inspiration. "Elderius, I believe I have a solution that can address the goblin problem."

Draven look at Elderius with confidence I suggest we apply some of those concepts to our advantage."

Elderius leaned forward, captivated by Draven's words. "Tell me, Draven, what do you propose? How can we protect our village from these foul creatures?"

Draven smiled, his eyes brimming with confidence. "I suggest we employ a combination of illumination and sound to deter the goblins. We can install bright, energy-efficient lighting around the perimeter of the village, strategically placed to flood the area with light during the night. Additionally, we can create devices that emit loud, high-pitched noises when triggered by motion."

Elderius contemplated the idea, envisioning the possibilities. "It is a fascinating concept, Draven. By utilizing these methods you mentioned , we may be able to dissuade the goblins from approaching our village altogether.

As Elderius was about to say something he remembered a book that was just laying around in the shevles, Elderius's aged eyes scanned the shelves lined with countless tomes. Among the collection, his gaze fell upon a peculiar book, one that seemed to emanate a faint aura of magic. The book had gone unnoticed for years, gathering dust in a corner, its purpose a mystery to the wise Elderius.

Intrigued by this forgotten treasure, Elderius carefully retrieved the book, feeling its weight in his hands. Its cover was plain and unadorned, yet the subtle pulse of energy that resonated from within intrigued him. With a flicker of excitement in his eyes, Elderius turned to Draven and handed him the book.

"Draven," Elderius began, his voice filled with anticipation. "This book holds secrets unknown even to me. It radiates a magical essence, but its contents have remained a mystery. I believe it can help us with our current situation."

Draven accepted the book, feeling a thrill of curiosity coursing through his veins. Its pages were weathered and yellowed, as if they had been touched by countless hands over the ages. The ancient text inscribed upon them danced in intricate patterns, a language foreign to Draven's eyes. Yet, something within him whispered that he possessed the key to understanding.

Sitting at the study desk, Draven gently opened the book, his fingers trembling with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The words on the pages were ancient, their meaning obscured by time. With the guidance of his retained memories and Elderius's teachings, Draven began to decipher the enigmatic script.

Hour after hour, Draven immersed himself in the study of the book. His mind danced with possibilities, his heart yearning to uncover the book's hidden wisdom. Slowly, but surely, the intricate patterns and symbols began to reveal their secrets to him.

In the next day, Draven sat under the shade of an oak tree. A tattered book lay open in his hands, its pages filled with ancient text and mystical diagrams. He was determined to uncover new spells that could aid the village in their ongoing battle against the goblins.

As he delved into the pages, his eyes widened with excitement. He stumbled upon a chapter that spoke of an illumination spell, a magical incantation capable of conjuring radiant light. The spell, if mastered, could enhance the effectiveness of the traps the villagers were constructing to deter the goblins.

Draven's fingers traced the intricate symbols and flowing script, absorbing every word and detail. He visualized the incantation in his mind, feeling the surge of mana that would bring it to life. With an air of determination, he stood up, book in hand, and made his way back to the village.

As he reached the heart of the village, he sought out the villagers working diligently on the traps. They greeted him with smiles and nods of acknowledgment. Draven gathered them around, sharing the ancient book and the knowledge it contained.

"Friends," Draven began, his voice filled with enthusiasm, "I have stumbled upon a illumination spell within these pages. By casting it upon our traps, we can enhance their effectiveness by illuminating the surroundings, disorienting the goblins and further deterring their advances."

Excitement rippled through the crowd, and the villagers exchanged eager glances. They had knew Draven's can use magic firsthand and knew the potential of this newfound spell. They were ready to implement it.

Draven proceeded to explain the intricacies of the spell, the gestures and incantations required to summon the radiant light. He demonstrated the proper technique, showing them through each step. The villagers watched intently.

Under the sweltering sun, the villagers tirelessly gathered and prepared the materials for the traps. Their determination shone through their perspiration, fueled by the prospect of bolstering their defenses against the goblins.

As the afternoon sun began its descent towards the horizon, a soft glow emanated from the Draven's hands. The air crackled with energy as they channeled his mana, casting the illumination spell upon the traps that the villager's had painstakingly crafted. In an instant, the traps were engulfed in a radiant light, casting long shadows across the village square.

A chorus of applause and jubilant cheers erupted from the villagers. They marveled at the newfound brilliance of their traps, their hearts filled with gratitude for Draven's discovery.

Draven, humbled by their response, addressed the crowd, his voice carrying a sense of pride. "Today, we have taken another step towards securing our village. The goblins will be met with light, and their mischief shall be exposed. Let us continue to stand together, united in our determination to protect all that we hold dear."

And so, armed with the knowledge of the illumination spell, the villagers completed their preparations. As dusk approached, the traps stood as beacons of light, illuminating the paths and discouraging the goblins from approaching.
