Chapter 12: The Origin of the Magical Element
Veren didn't even know when Stearns left, and his mind was always filled with Sters's words.
"Viren, you have no idea how rare you are! Ever since the magic element appeared on the continent we live in, our world has changed dramatically. Even the epoch of our continent has been changed from the year when the magic element was discovered to the continental calendar. Do you know why?"
"Well, I don't know. ”
"Because in the first ten years when people mastered the magical element from the hands of the elves, we found that the magical element brought us great value. The magicians who first mastered this magical element even thought that they were simply living in a dark age before, because the changes brought to us by the magical element were so great that it could be called earth-shattering!"
"Well, I know that, I know that even the wicks in the elemental lamps we use today were invented by fire magicians. But what does this have to do with me, and why am I called a treasure of the wizarding world?"
"Look, kid, you're getting to the point. Fire mage. I think you should know that even though we have mastered the magic element for more than two hundred years, no one has been able to use both magic elements at the same time. Not even the Four Heralds of the Holy City!"
"But I have the help of the magicians, and there are two great magicians who help me. ”
"God, don't you know? Not even with the help of magicians. Even though it was your suggestion, we were going to have Hill carry out that attack. After all, it was the elves who were the first to discover and master those magical elements, and the elves' physique is much better than that of us humans, at least we hope that the elves will not be able to bear the conflict of the three magical elements and collapse because of the simultaneous use of three magical elements. ”
"Uh, my lord, what do you mean by a physical breakdown?"
Actually, that's just a slightly nice way to put it. In layman's terms, it means that the body explodes because it can't withstand the conflict of different magical elements in the body. I know what else you're trying to ask, even if you've only been in contact with arrows that contain magical elements, you've already come into contact with magical elements. And there are some magical elements that remain in your body, which those magicians call - internal precipitation. Once you come into contact with a magical element, then your body will record that magical element. If you want to use other magic elements in the future, it will conflict with the magic elements you used in the first place, until your body collapses. Over the years, there have been many warriors who have tried to use other magic elements after being recorded by the first magic element, but without exception, they have all died because they could not withstand the conflict between the two magic elements in their bodies. Now you should know why you're favored by those magicians. ”
"Well, now I know a little bit. But my lord, what about me was a completely suicidal act?"
"This, kid. I've said it many times, just call me AJ in the future, don't be so angry. Well, don't look at me like that, you're right. But don't mind, kid, because I'm sure you can do it. ”
"Well, I actually still have a little bit of a mind. ”
After this, Viren, who was still a little confused, made a special trip to the archer training camp to find Ciel.
"Well, Lord Stels, no, it was AJ who told me something, and I wanted to ask you to see if what he said was true. ”
"Stearns is right, you're coming to me. A black arrow came out of Hilde's purple longbow and accurately pierced the target dozens of meters away, and slammed into the stone wall behind it, "I'll tell you everything I know." Do you know when the magic element appeared?"
"Just over 200 years ago, we changed the era of the continent. ”
Ciel smiled slightly, "That's what you humans say. In fact, long before the Kaiyuan Era, we elves discovered this magical element. At that time, we elves were still very prosperous, and we were the masters of this continent just like the humans now. We discovered this element more than a thousand years ago in our capital city, now Vault Dweller's Hill, and only barely mastered it three hundred years later. Unlike today's multi-line magic, the elves at that time only mastered one type, that is, the power of nature, similar to the current wood magic, but much simpler than the current wood magic. For more than a thousand years now, only a few elves with special talents have been able to use this natural power. And now, even the last elf in the continent who used the power of nature no longer exists. However, it was not until more than two hundred years ago that you humans discovered the power of nature from us, and because of your peculiar constitution, you discovered many more magical elements. ”
"That is, for more than a thousand years, most elves have used only one magical element?"
"Yes, including humans. That's why you're so precious. Now, tell me, with so much potential, do you want to continue to be your archer, or do you want to use your magic potential to the fullest and become the greatest magician on the continent?"
"I think I prefer the feeling of having a bow and arrows in my hand. Didn't Lord Stelts also say that he had lived so long and that it was the first time that someone had been able to use the Triple Orb, and that was what I had really done on my own. However, I know that I may be able to kill some powerful apostles with archery alone, but to really help people defeat them once and for all and drive them out of our country, we need more magicians who can use the circle than an archer. No matter how good your archery skills are, you can't do it. So, I'm not going to waste my talent. ”
Hill looked at Viren with a smile, "Now do you know what you're going to do?"
That night, Viren went to the city walls to find Sterls, who was patrolling. "My lord, I think learning to use magic is the path I must take in my life, and it is also my destiny. I don't think I'm going to be lost, for Saint Sophie, for Magellan!"
"Ha, boy, I knew you would choose that. Before Stells could speak, a sorcerer in a robe and a goatee standing behind him smiled. "You know me, right? That zero is my work. ”
Viren nodded blankly.
"Boy, are you interested in learning water magic from me? Although I don't seem to be in tune with water washing magic, I'm a real water magician! I'm the only one in the entire Magellan Kingdom!"
Viren nodded blankly again.
"Alright boy, my name is Kingston. Kingston was even happier, "Prepare tonight, I'm going to start training you tomorrow! Who knows when those brutes will attack us again, I need you to build up your immediate combat power immediately!"
By the bright and flawless moonlight, Viren vaguely saw the apostolic tent in its place, and nodded firmly.
