...
Matthew sensed the intent of Melinda's spellcasting.
Although she didn't know what kind of back-up plan Matthew had left for himself on the Hume Tri-star, based on her regular spellcasting knowledge, she couldn't help but ask:
"Do you want to conduct super long-range spellcasting?"
"Are you sure you can do it?"
"What I mean is, remote spellcasting requires a sufficient Ether medium, and you're currently hiding in my secret cabin, unable to contact a large amount of Ether medium; I'm afraid you won't be able to mobilize enough magic medium..."
"And if you leave, you won't even have time to cast spells; you'll be detected by the Heaven and Earth Net set up by the Hippocampus Force in the nearby waters..."
Her tone was quite earnest.
She was probably just worried that Matthew might be overly confident.
Matthew smiled and shook his head:
"It's not that complicated."
