Chapter 416: Traveling with the Witch (Part )
With just one meeting, he actually constructed a complete magic formula and reproduced the unique skill of the origin magician Azrael, "Comet Azrael"? !
——Teacher Se Lian, you are worthy of being praised as a talented woman rarely seen in a century!
Watching Ash Esti turn into ashes so easily, I couldn't help but sigh silently in my heart.
However, there was a slight sinking sensation behind him, and the back of his head was hit hard: "Teacher?!"
Se Lian was still reflecting on his own magic performance: "It seems that the output of magic power has been over-strengthened. The loss per unit time is more severe than I thought. There is still room for optimization and adjustment... Sorry, apprentice, let me rest for a while."
——Teacher, why are you so kind as me, your disciple?
——When using a new move, don’t you consider the total amount of your magic power?
Of course, it could also be that the new body isn't adapted to him yet.
But no matter who sees the comet Azrael just now, he will break out in a cold sweat:
Not only Ash Estie, the surging torrent of magic was like an indestructible sword, piercing right through the monster and even leaving a huge crack in the underground rock wall behind it that spanned half the sky.
Ah, there were also guys who didn’t know what fear was. The clay figures from the ancient ruins rolled over one after another like dung beetle dung.
I quickly carried Se Lian on my back and ran towards the cave behind the ancient ruins.
squeak-
The splashing footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the giant ants in the cave. Three or two of them flapped their wings and, like bees, pointed their butts at us and shot water containing corrupted formic acid.
I was too lazy to deal with these bugs, so I walked straight out of the cave with the pace of a hound.
A row of towering walls appeared in front of me, like the gates of a canal. I quickly ran into the building next to me, then closed the door with my backhand, blocking the giant ants that were chasing me outside.
Going out from the door on the other side, a silver-gray building complex similar to that of Noklong appeared in front of me. In the night air, the floating glow was like countless fireflies, and even the plants here seemed to be metalized, shining with silver light.
"Eternal City" Nox Stella.
I found the blessing point at the entrance, put Se Lian down to rest, and handed the Blue Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle to the teacher to restore his mana.
"I didn't expect that you would all come here." After drinking a few drops of blue dew, Se Lian regained her energy. She looked at the thousands of silver-white bright spots in the sky and sighed, "This is an unimaginable miracle. The Knox people actually created an entire starry sky underground, apprentice."
"It's the same in Noklongen, and there are also red nebulae." I also chatted with Se Lian with a smile, "When I first saw it, the romance of this underground starry sky was indeed breathtaking... However, speaking of creating the starry sky, I remember that you can also create star rain, right?"
“Although they do have similar merits, my magic cannot compare to the great achievements here.” Se Lian stared at the night sky for a long time, then sighed and shook his head slightly, “However, the artificially created starry sky is still false after all. Disciple, you see, those sparks are all solidified in the air, motionless... If we really want to realize the seemingly irregular but actually fixed trajectory of the stars, the amount of calculation and magic power required are immeasurable.”
"Well, after all, the most basic thing in the operation of real galaxies is the influence of gravity. So there are roughly fixed rules, but because there are too many forces, there will also be some changes." I replied casually.
"······Gravity, is this also some kind of magic?" Se Lian asked me with a little confusion.
—Ah, I let it slip.
Physics does not exist in this world!
However, it is difficult for me to explain to Se Lian what gravity is. After all, not to mention that I only have a high school physics level, and there is also magical power such as magic in this world. Who knows whether physics is the same as my original reality.
"Ahahaha, this, this is just some kind of supreme willpower. I heard it from the people in the royal city." I could only laugh awkwardly and quickly change the subject. "Suddenly, the changes of the stars are very similar to people's destiny. They all have a predetermined path forward, but during the journey, there will always be unexpected changes."
"······Besides, no one knows when the destruction will happen. Maybe even the next second." Se Lian took over my words.
"Well, there's no need to say it so horribly, teacher."
"Hehehe~ So, we need to explore the origin of magic, apprentice." Se Lian turned the topic in her direction with ease, "If we study the origin of the universe, we can know where we came from and where we are going, what the process of evolution is like, and why it develops in this way... All of this may have been decided before the birth of the universe."
"······Teacher, but what exactly is magic?" I asked by taking the opportunity to ask.
——If I could understand Teacher Se Lian a little better, then I would be more confident in preventing the teacher from turning into a ball in the future.
And Se Lian asked back: "Apprentice, what is magic in your eyes?"
"Magic... I only know the most basic ones taught by my teacher, such as pyroxene magic gravel and pyroxene bending arc. If you force me to explain, I can't explain it."
"In fact, as a warrior, some of the combat skills and prayers you use are also a type of magic. Disciple, you don't have to worry about the limitations of pyroxene."
"If you want to put it that way... imagination?" I asked cautiously and tentatively. "After all, after learning to control runes and perform different combat skills, developing new combat skills requires, on the one hand, combining your own strengths, and on the other hand, imagining what the effect will be after using them."
"Well said, apprentice." Se Lian nodded in appreciation. "In fact, magic is a kind of imagination that can be realized. After we investigate the origin of a thing, magic will realize it through your cognition. And this is the basic law of magic... However, since the Rhea Lukalia Academy was led by the 'Full Moon Queen', many people have lost the original intention of learning magic and use it as a tool for fighting. The spells they cast have gradually become the same... Therefore, in this regard, you can say that your apprentice is quite talented."
"Thank you, teacher, for the compliment."
"It's a pity that your personality is not suitable for my path... It is consistent with the queen's idea of tolerance of everything." Se Lian said, and seemed to smile lightly, "If Lena was not mentally ill, I would be happy to introduce you to her, and she would definitely treat you like her own child."
...It's true, Queen Lenara really is calling me like a child now.
——The teacher is very observant.
"I think the princess was willing to trust you so much because of this. She even loved you so much that she didn't make things difficult for me in the basement... However, the path she chose seems to be quite difficult." Se Lian looked at me with a smile under the hood. After a pause, she suddenly stood up and said, "Time is running out. Let's talk about these topics later. Disciple, go find the shadow of disaster first to save your princess from trouble. But where is the shadow, in this Nox Stella?"
"Ah, as for the Shadow of Disaster, I know his approximate location." I also stood up.
——It’s better to wait until you have the chance to explore the “Eternal City” of Noxtella in the future.
I walked quickly with Se Lian. We didn't encounter many enemies on the road, so we avoided them whenever possible.
Like a slow teardrop slime, it will ignore us if it can’t catch up;
The slightly more troublesome one is the Knox Knight riding a giant ant, who you only encounter occasionally.
But when Se Lian waved his staff, the ants suddenly became like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, breaking free from the Knox people and even fighting with them.
"What's going on, teacher?" I was extremely confused.
Se Lian responded lightly: "It's simple. They used magic to hypnotize the ants, and I just untied them."
······It turns out that those ants were not domesticated?
——So, if I use a charmed branch or something, I can also grab an ant and ride on it?
Soon, I took Selian through the bottom floor of Nox Stella, found an elevator, and went down.
Passing through the pond cave on this side, a crimson and rotten mist filled the air.
Next to my ears, Lani's voice sounded, just like in the game, without her being seen: "Shadow, you are the last one. Go tell Two Fingers: Witch Lani will carve a scar on you - a destined scar that will never heal!"
As she finished her words, we saw a figure like the half-wolf knight Blaze, dragging a huge sword, slowly walking towards us from the other side of the stream.
