Water and Fire Twins Magician

Coffee waved to Jacques, motioning him to come forward.

Looking through the smooth cross-section, a small amount of liquid that was neither transparent nor opaque and had a very high concentration of water elements was slowly flowing in the innermost part of the ice core.

"What are you waiting for? Let's dig out the raw water quickly," said Jacques.

"It's not that easy." Coffee signaled Jacques to step back, and he also stepped back several steps. Then he held the dagger again and chanted the spell as before.

A more powerful and sharper water wall cut towards the ice core from bottom to top. Another ice core fell to the ground, and now the egg-shaped ice core was obviously missing a piece.

But when the second water wall technique cut into the ice core, the sound it made became noticeably heavier, and the cut surface was not as smooth as the first time, but rather a little bumpy, as if it was not as easy as the first attack.

"The closer you get to the core, the higher the density of the water element, and the harder it is to cut." Coffee closed his eyes and continued to chant. Sharp water walls appeared one after another, cutting deeper into the ice core. But the volume of the cut part became smaller and smaller.

Until the ninth time, the water wall technique could only shave off some powdery debris, and it seemed that it could not go any deeper.

"No..." Coffee opened his eyes and panted, "Although I'm closer than last year, I'm still a little short of the core..."

Jacques moved closer and found that the cut surface was only about one meter away from the original water, but the ice core of this part was extremely hard. Jacques reached out and touched it, and his intuition told him that this was not something that could be broken by ordinary water magic.

"If we have two or three months to concentrate our efforts and take turns attacking the same point day and night, we should have a chance to get to the real core." Coffee also touched the section: "But the amount of raw water produced each year is too little, not enough to be distributed to so many people, so no one is very keen on cooperating. The reason why this trial is completed only once every five years on average is because everyone has to wait for the amount of raw water to be sufficient before a team is willing to try to cooperate."

"Ha... Now there are only two of us, and you have a big appetite." Jacques said, "Are you really sure that we can dig out the raw water?"

"I don't have a big appetite. If you don't object, I hope the raw water we dig out can be divided equally among the five of us." Coffee said with a smile, "But I have to be honest with you first. You are the one who does the work. I just provide the methods and tools."

"Then I'm at a huge loss, right?" Jacques smiled.

"That depends on what you think. Although you are our secret weapon, if I hadn't invited you to join the team, you wouldn't even have the chance to get the raw water. But from another perspective, I'm afraid that even if you search the entire Imperial Capital for students below the fourth grade, there is no one else who can dig out the raw water using this method. Your role is indeed very crucial, and it is reasonable for you to want more."

"I'm just kidding. We're a team of five, so of course we'll split it equally among the five of us." Jacques stretched his limbs and said, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Coffee's eyes flashed with joy, and then he took out a small weapon from his backpack and handed it to Jacques: "Speaking of things that only you can do, it should be easy for you to guess."

Jacques took the weapon and found it was a sharp ice cone. As soon as he touched it, he felt that it was different. It was not that there were any special patterns or decorations on the surface, but that it exuded an aura that was incompatible with the surrounding natural environment, and there was a faint cursed and ominous aura.

But after holding it firmly in his hand, Jacques actually felt a sense of familiarity with the ice pick. Although the appearance was completely different, Jacques naturally thought of the Sword of Marsala.

"As expected, this girl has this idea, haha." Gandalf smiled with satisfaction.

Jacques looked at Coffee, who nodded to him. Jacques finally understood why she was so persistent in making sure that there was no one else in the abyss, and why she asked him to wear a hood before setting off.
