When he stood in front of the metal door again, the doubts in Morin's mind became even more numerous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ever since he saw the record in that book, he had seen the name Ed Warlund, in several books about magic card makers. Judging from these introductions, Ed Warrend was a name that did ring throughout Todd a few decades ago, as he said, and was known as Toldrd's youngest ever card maker, until he died in the Battle of the Blood Moon thirty years ago.

Yes, every record clearly and unambiguously states at the end that Ed died in the Battle of the Blood Moon.

Ever since the first flame of order was ignited in ancient times, the conflict between order and chaos has never ceased on this continent. Even in the Fourth Age, on the borders where the flame of order shines, the armies of various countries are still stationed to block the invasion of chaos, and the wars on the border have never stopped.

Thirty years ago, the Battle of the Blood Moon was the most tragic battle of the entire Fourth Age to date.

According to records, the tide of chaos in the cold winter of that year suddenly swept in, the coalition forces on the border line of Todel were severely damaged, and the reserve armies of various kingdoms and races rushed to the front line one after another, paying a very heavy price to resist the invasion of chaos, in order to protect the fire of order, countless strong men fell in this battle, and even several legions of several empires with a long heritage have ceased to exist since then, and many survivors say that they witnessed the blood moon breaking through the sky on the battlefield, which was later called the Battle of the Blood Moon.

To this day, few people are willing to talk about that battle.

It's just that Master Ed is obviously not dead, why is it recorded that he has died, and nearly thirty years have passed, why is he still hiding the news of his survival in this magic tower.

After finishing his work at the wand workshop on weekend mornings, and humbly telling his companion that he would go to Professor Anna to make up for the lessons, Merlin arrived at the Magic Tower, and with many questions, he pushed open the metal door.

This time there was no hindrance, and Anna Gu did not appear, and he walked along the corridor to the end, and the wooden door opened voluntarily, and a holy light poured out of it, pulling the boy downward.

Falling all the time, surrounded by endless light, soft and warm.

If the feeling of falling was real, at this rate, Merlin estimated that he had fallen to the bottom of the magic tower, still falling, he had fallen into the belly of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, underground......

Just when the boy felt that he was going to fall forever in this light, the light around him flickered, and he found himself sitting on a comfortable brown leather sofa at some point, and then the light in his field of vision gradually dimmed, revealing the appearance of his surroundings.

At first glance, this is a very ordinary room.

On one side was a tall brass bookshelf with no books on it, replaced by stacks of magic cards, ranging from low-level white cards to high-level green cards, covered in a thick layer of dust. There are large cabinets standing on the other sides, and through the gray glass, you can faintly see all kinds of bottles and jars, containing materials that the teenager does not know. The room had no windows, but the lighting crystal was bright, and there was a rather complex magical barrier carved on the floor, which did not seem to be activated, and directly opposite the boy was a large operating table with many strange-shaped instruments.

A figure in a blue-and-black cloak fiddled with instruments at the operating table with his back to the teenager.

This back looked a little strange, and Morin asked cautiously, "Master Ed?"

The man under the blue-black cloak waved his hand, signaling that he was at ease, as if he was busy making something.

Merlin had to sit obediently on the sofa, the cloak was so wide that the boy couldn't see what Ed was doing, and he didn't dare to move his body too casually, so he had to look at the stacks of magic cards on the bookshelf at will.

Cards of the zero to second tiers are white, the third and fourth tiers are yellow, and the fifth and sixth tiers are green......

Although nominally speaking, the Scholar Mage has always been the most revered profession, in fact, since the development of magic cards, the Magic Card Maker has been the highest-ranking profession for no other reason, there are too few of them, and there are too many of them.

To make a magic card, you need not only a skilled grasp of the production process and craftsmanship, but also a deep understanding of the corresponding magic, a card maker may only make a certain type of magic card in his lifetime, or even only a few cards of specific magic, but even so, it is enough to bring him fame and wealth.

What's more, cards are occasionally damaged in battle, the price of rare cards has always been high, high-level cards are even more valuable, and card makers are also protected by various forces as an extremely precious strategic existence. But why did even the card-making master go to the battlefield and fall in the Battle of the Blood Moon, was that battle really so tragic that the young man thought stunned.

A burst of blue light flashed on the countertop, as if it was finished, and the figure turned around.

Maureen froze.

He never thought that people could be alive like this.

He wasn't even sure if the existence in front of him could still be called human.

Under the blue-black cloak, there was no hair, and a terrible wound wiped out most of the face, from the center of the eyebrows along the bridge of the nose to the base of the ear, only the dark green right eye and the straight eyebrows on it remained, and the rest was replaced by strange pale air masses, which rolled and squirmed, and seemed to still eat away at the horrible wound, trying to devour the only remaining right eye.

He has no nose, no mouth, no face.

The same was true of the body, only a small part of the left arm and heart remained, the rest was a squirming pale breath, the entire abdominal cavity was eroded by the air current, and the boy saw that an arm-like magical machine was attached to his right shoulder, and his legs were a hollow grid formed by some kind of magic, supporting the remaining body.

That's why the back looks so strange.

If there is a mutilated person in front of him, it is better to say that there is a pale wriggling air mass with several organs.

Merlin noticed that the "man" was holding a grid-like metal object in his hand, which must have been freshly made.

The "man" in front of him squeezed the object in his hand into the pale airflow of his left face, and the wriggling airflow boiled like a shark smelling blood for a moment, frantically impacting the metal grid, but his left hand released a light green light, and forcibly fixed the metal grid in the pale airflow, which was a net-like face.

Then the mechanical arm in his right hand squeezed a metal ball into the socket of the left eye of the net-like face, and the metal ball rolled twice, shooting out a dark red ray that resembled Tilna's right eye.

"Ed ...... Master?" Merlin said dumbfounded. The pale currents of air still wriggled and rolled in the metal mesh, but the mesh face clung to the remnants of the skin, blocking the terrible wound demarcation.

"Oh, why did you say you came so early, I would have wanted to maintain my glorious image in front of the students!" The metal face moved slightly, and a young man's voice sounded, and his tone was extremely vivid.

As he spoke, he rolled his metal eyeballs and muttered, "This thing is always a bit embarrassing, but with my level, I've done it like this, when will I find a mechanical master to help me change it." ”

His left hand stroked the surface of his body, and a layer of skin quickly covered his wounds and pale air masses, and even the mechanical arm turned into an ordinary arm, but after a while, it reverted to the image of a young man, dark green eyes, a high nose bridge, straight eyebrows, an angular face, handsome carvings like classical and vicissitudes, and elegant as the elf in the painting to the moon.

Perhaps he really had a bit of elven blood, and those dark green eyes were very rare among humans.

Out of nowhere, he found a mirror, and he looked at it, grinning with satisfaction, and for a moment it was as bright as summer.

"Master Ed, ...... those white air masses?" asked Morin uncertainly, those wriggling air masses made him feel particularly bad, and the young man vaguely felt that he had encountered such an aura, but he couldn't find any specific memories.

"Messy remnants, just a bunch of stubborn, nasty little bugs, don't care. Ed waved his hand easily, and looking at the young man's slightly frowning brow, he snapped his fingers again, and a very refreshing fragrance spread through the room, washing away the pale smell that had been left before.

"I've read the books and they say you died in the Battle of the Blood Moon......" Merlin whispered.

"It's just some old things, and if you want to talk about it later, there will be time, and I won't be able to die for a while. Ed said with a big grin.

"By the way, if you take this, it should be more efficient than what Brand does. As he spoke, he threw a metal locket to Mo Lin, and when the boy opened it, he saw that it was a green magic rune, which looked similar to the rune that Wang Del had given him to draw magic from the crystal card.

"Brand is good, but he's reluctant to use too good materials. Oh, you still have the grunting pentagram rune! I can't see it, little ghost, he is so rich, I wanted to ask him for one, but he insisted that he wouldn't give it to me when it was sold out, tsk, these stingy ghost goblins!"

But it was his sharp eyes that he saw the small five-pointed star in the young man's hand.

"Come on, come on, go to class first, speaking of which, I've been confiscating students for a long time!"

After saying that, Ed sat down on the operating table excitedly, and didn't care if he didn't know what he had knocked down, so he sat high in front of Morin, crossed his legs, raised a finger, and began to talk like a storyteller.

"Although magic cards have been popular for an unknown amount of time, in fact, ancient spellcasting has been circulating among a small group of magicians. ”

"You mean...... Card maker?" Morin said uncertainly.

Ed nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the task of the card maker is to compress the tedious spell casting steps into a crystal card, and naturally they will know how to cast magic. Many of the materials used to craft magic cards were used in the casting of spells in ancient times. ”

"And after a lot of research, it has been found that you don't actually need anything else to cast magic, just mental power, of course, provided that the mental power is strong enough. The most important thing about the materials, the gestures, the spells is actually to simplify the casting, take the flash spell as an example, have you read that book?" said Ed.

The boy nodded, "I don't even understand the content of the magic analysis and derivation. ”

"Don't you understand, you remember the spell structure with the largest number of flash models, the one named 'Shimmer Burst'. ”

"Well, the book says that the structure uses magic to excite short, intense light. Maureen replied.

"That's right, a basic flash spell needs to activate at least two hundred of these spell structures at the same time, and it also needs to make them form a regular connection and distribution, and the mental power required can be imagined. But there's something that simplifies this magic considerably," he said, jumping down from the counter and stepping aside to open the cabinet door.

He seemed to feel that the flying dust was too choking, he pinched his nose and fanned it in disgust, and then took out a small bottle and handed it to the young man: "The gray-white powder in this bottle is a mixture of fluorescent stone and the powder of earthly spider silk, and the structure of 'shimmering light explosion' naturally exists in fluorescent stone powder, and spider silk powder can fill the space so that the fluorescent stone powder can be reasonably distributed, which can reduce most of the workload of building a spell model, and can also greatly speed up the casting speed." ”

As he spoke, he pinched a small pinch and sprinkled it into the air, and then gently sent out a trace of magic power, and the next moment the dazzling light exploded, as if a round of scorching sun was lit in the room.

Hey, why didn't you hear the voice of the little ghost's exclamation, could it be that I haven't used magic for too long...... Ed thought to himself, glancing at Maureen on the couch.

"Oops! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you see, I haven't been in class for so long that I forgot how fragile you little ones are......" Seeing Morin's eyes red with tears, Ed said embarrassedly, he quickly took out a small vial from the cabinet, pinched some dark green powder and blew it into the young man's eyes.

A small pale blue smoke rises.

"Sizzle......" Ed gasped again.

It seems that this bottle of Life Extract has been left for a long time and has expired......

When the boy's eyesight finally recovered, he felt that the room was not the same as before, and many bright things such as the mirror seemed to have become gray and could not be reflected.

"Ahem, don't look around, concentrate! Let's keep going to class, keep going to class. Ed said casually......

……

Before leaving, Ed patted the young man on the shoulder, and said weakly: "This bottle of glitter powder will be given to you, don't come to me if you have any other questions, see you next week, go back and read the book "Examples of the Basic Structure of Illusion", the library has it, and again, don't come to me if you have any questions." ”

In any case, Ed's vision and level must be commendable, and in an afternoon, under his explanation and teaching, Maureen had already learned the first magic in his life - the flash technique.

Not to mention how excited the boy was, this was the first magic he had freed up since he was a child, and he was immersed in the memories of success all the way, not noticing that passers-by were looking at him very wrongly.

It wasn't until he returned to the common room that the little black who was playing with Aeno looked at him and chirped and laughed, spitting out small balls of fire, and Marcus handed the boy a mirror in a strange way, and said, "Even if you go to Anna Guna to listen to the history of magic and put on makeup, this green eyeshadow is not evenly applied......"

This strange-looking person in the mirror is really me......

Ed "Master" is also too unreliable to let me go to him......

Maureen looked at his "makeup" with a sad and angry expression.

At that moment, a paper airplane flew in from the corridor outside, and fell headlong in front of Morin, and Marcus opened it casually, his face became a little stranger, and handed it to Morin.

I saw that it read:

"To the like-minded Mr. Maureen Callander:

Tonight at 7 o'clock, in the 'Singing Auditorium', we will have a trick-or-treating ball, and you are cordially invited to join it, and you can invite another trick-or-treater dance partner.
