Chapter 115: The Origin of Magic
Blood magic is one of the first magic mastered in human history, and it is also a type of ancient magic known as "primordial magic". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The earliest human civilization did not know how to use the magical power of "magic". It can only survive in that era when the dragon rules the Heavenly Dragon, and demonic beasts and aliens are all over the land.
In Aslante, all powerful creatures are bound to use magic, and the most powerful races are even able to use magic! In order to fight against them, the ancestors of human beings learned from the magic beasts and aliens, borrowed from the laws of their use of magic, and gradually developed and improved their own magic skills, which were given a unique name - magic.
In the early days, magic was still very crude, and people didn't realize that there was an endless amount of free magic in the air and environment around them for the magicians to use, and it is no wonder that the reference objects that people learned at that time were dragons, vampires, and other creatures that existed at the top of the chain, and they were basically out of the realm of using free magic - because these creatures had a huge amount of magic stored in their bodies, almost endless!
As a result, the only thing that has gone astray is their own magic. But with the weak body of a human being, the amount of magic that can be stored is really limited. Except for a few gifted freaks, the vast majority of human magicians can only use some small magic with limited power, and today they are basically weak chickens at the level of magic apprentices!
Before the invention or discovery of the magic circle, the strongest among the human race was the sacrifice of the tribe. At that time, human beings were still a tribal civilization, and within each tribe there was a special class - sacrifice.
It was the pinnacle of combat power among the tribes, and it was the pillar on which they depended to survive in a harsh world. Only the best children of the tribe are selected to be raised as sacrifices, and each of them is an absolute genius in the use of magic, and most of the resources of the entire tribe are poured into them.
And the only thing these would-be priests have to do is to eat and drink well, cultivate the strongest physique, and give birth to the most vigorous vitality. They don't need to fight in ordinary battles, and only when the tribe encounters a powerful threat that they can't resist is the time for the priests to come out.
Although the magic that each sacrifice specializes in is different, there is only one essential magic in them - "sacrifice", or "sacrifice"!
The priests exchanged their blood and flesh, spirit and soul, for powers far beyond mortals, burning their life force into magic and wielding powerful magic.
In this way, from generation to generation, countless sacrifices have exchanged their flesh and soul for time and space for the survival and development of human beings.
Therefore, the magic that human civilization first came into contact with is also the magic that it is best at, not the holding magic that relies on magic guide props, nor the elemental magic that invokes the magic of heaven and earth, nor the necromantic magic that reverses life and death and invokes the undead. It's "sacrificial" magic, it's soul magic! The best tactic is to fight for your life and die together!
Equal exchange, give your most precious things, exchange the most powerful power! Even now, when every magician is desperate at the last moment, he will desperately use all his strength, and he will not hesitate to burn all his life force to deliver the final blow and die with the enemy! This is actually the "sacrifice" magic that has been handed down since ancient times.
The soul is an aspect that every magician must pay attention to. Because the ancient priests discovered that the magic of using the soul exchange was far greater than the gain of sacrificing the body. Therefore, in the most difficult stage of human civilization, the study of the soul developed rapidly.
At the end of their research, the sages of the tribe discovered that the root of all magic comes from the soul itself! In Aslanth, only beings with souls have the potential to use magic, and even if the body is dead, it is possible to continue to use magic as long as the soul is still alive!
The oldest group of human souls were called "sages", and when observing the use of magic by sages, the wise men found that without the body as a medium, the soul body that should not have been able to obtain the source of magic actually invoked the free magic in the environment by subconsciously drawing some mysterious patterns, and successfully released magic, and the power was even more powerful than when they were alive!
As a result, people discovered that they could use free magic to cast spells, and they could also use some specific runes and patterns to assist in casting magic - the first magic arrays were born.
The magical civilization of mankind is advancing day by day, and it is officially on the track.
However, the ancient sacrificial class is still preserved. Because although the "sacrificial" magic of sacrifice is very costly and inefficient, the power obtained by giving one's life also has the advantage of all magic that cannot be replaced - the magic cast in this way is almost immune! Even a powerful creature like a dragon can choose to resist or dodge in the face of the "sacrificial" magic of human sacrifice, but it is absolutely impossible to be immune to the effects of that magic!
Blood is the currency of the soul, the carrier of life.
Blood is the fusion and transition of spirit and body. Without wanting to die early and sacrifice one's soul, sacrificial magic using blood as a sacrifice became one of the most effective.
Moreover, the Hyberian family, which has been inherited for half a thousand years, has continued to improve and research the magic of blood. Their blood magic is no longer a one-sided "sacrifice" dedication, but can strengthen the blood power of the mage through practice, which in turn enhances the strength of their own souls. And with this, he has obtained a long life and an almost ageless appearance that is far beyond ordinary people, so he is mistaken for a vampire family.
For hundreds of years across the continent, Hayberian has always stood at the pinnacle of the wizarding world, and his magic is naturally not a simple "sacrifice" magic. In fact, I'm afraid there are very few enemies in this world who can make him use the ancient magic of "sacrifice".
I saw him put his hands together, and then parted, and pulled out five thin blood streaks between his ten fingers. Then his hands shook, and his ten fingers moved, and these blood threads flew into a ball in the air, and soon they were woven into a mini blood magic array.
With a "boom", the magic array burst into flames and exploded, although it was not large, the shock wave of the explosion still violently swept through the entire study.
The walls of the interior of the room were lit up like flowing water, and a flexible magic cover was instantly formed to isolate the destructive power of the explosion from the furnishings.
As for the few people inside the magic cover, they are not in the scope of concern, because usually only Hayberion will experiment with magic here, and his own safety does not need this magic cover to protect him. But fortunately, this powerful explosion did not pose much threat to the few of them at all.
"How's that? interesting, isn't it?" said Hayberion to Waz ostentatiously, "Blood blasting, very effective magic, and you don't have to use your own blood on the battlefield, you can directly use the blood of the enemy or other dead people, and the power can be multiplied as the size of the magic circle increases!"
"And I think that the magic of blood can also be combined with your word magic, just like this magic array, if you use my blood as ink to write runes, the magic effect will definitely be greatly enhanced!"
The cat interjected next to him and added, "The runes I saw just now were written in the blood of their masters. You know, the master's blood is rich in magic power, and it may be the most effective magic ink in the world. We'll sell our master's blood enough to cover the castle!"
With a flick of his fingers, a drop of milk flew out of the cup and struck the cat on the forehead.
The cat covered its forehead and closed its mouth and lay down.
"It's just that I only have ordinary magic runes, the kind of words that Woz yours have, and I don't have a way to combine them into effective magic. So let's learn from each other and study together this time. "I heard that your learning method is very convenient, so let's get started." ”
As he spoke, the old aristocrat, who had always attached great importance to influence, took off his coat and rolled up his cuffs to reveal his forearms. Then he slowly repeated the blood blast just now, and the blood vessels in his arm regularly bulged in the direction of blood flow. It is also unknown if he used magic to control the flow of blood, or if he used blood flow to perform magic.
However, Woz had only one option, and that was to imitate his blood flow patterns and try to imitate the magic. As for the magic circle, Woz had already memorized it when he first saw it.
"There's not much 'sacrifice' involved, it's just the use of blood as a medium for spellcasting. "I think this kind of magic is exactly what suits you for you, Mr. Frenner." Although it is not as powerful as my real blood magic, there is no restriction on blood inheritance, and you can learn to use it. As for its power, I think you must have a way to make up for the enhancement. ”
Woz nodded, he knew that Hayberion had officially started teaching, and although the blood blast was just a simple magic, the principle was common - this was what Woz wanted most!
Hayberrion looked at Woz with satisfaction, "How's it going?"
Woz shook his head: "No need...... At least for now, it seems that I don't need to, let me figure out the rest. ”
Hayberrion nodded: "Very well, if you have fully mastered this magic, then it means that your blood magic has begun to get started." Then you can try to search for the wild ghost inside you. ”
Woz's expression was grim, that's right! There was really not much time left for him, even if the wild ghost didn't break through the seal and invade his body, Woz would fall into a crisis again because of the magic rampant - in order to seal the wild ghost, Woz unlocked the Great Cross seal!
"Well, I won't bother you. Hayberrien stood up, "I'll leave it to you here, just call out if you have something." ”
He walked towards the door, and the cat immediately got up and followed: "By the way, Miss Strauss will also go to the living room and sit down, the scarecrow butler is ready for afternoon tea." ”
Mira Jenny looked at Wolz with worried eyes, and finally gave encouragement: "Woz, you have to do it!" and walked out as well. She also knew that her company by Woz's side wouldn't do much, and the only thing she could do was not disturb him.
When I came to the spacious living room on the next floor, sure enough, the coffee table was already full of snacks and drinks. But Mila Jenny didn't have much of the heart to taste it.
