Around the hall, there were faded frescoes, a lantern floating in the center of the dome, illuminating every corner, and in the middle of the hall, next to a sarcophagus, the man was facing away from Grandia.

"After a thousand years, I didn't expect that the human soul still can't break free from the shackles of gravity, but something interesting has appeared. ”

He said in a clear voice, then turned around.

The gray hair was a little messy, and there seemed to be a glow in the red eyes, it was a young man, who looked no more than ten years old, and on his body was a slightly tattered robe, only in his hand, the twisted and strange staff was eye-catching.

"You ......"

Grantia only felt that the other party was a little familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen the other party.

"I, I'm just a mystery, the door of truth, the mystery of the elements, the mystery of the law, these are all I seek. ”

The boy spoke specious words.

And at this time, in Grantia's vision, Rosen's reply appeared.

[Fireless Ashes: This guy is Velen Eislive, the Sage himself!]

"Ah......h

It was only then that Grantia realized that the young man in front of her was exactly the same as the statue in the hall of the ruins, and the staff in his hand was the legendary artifact, the Oath Staff of the Guardian of Osiris.

"Sage?"

But didn't the Sage fall a thousand years ago, otherwise the tomb here would be a fake?

[Afterglow without fire: Wait, the breath is a little different, it seems to be a projection-like existence.] 】

Rosen quickly sensed that the law of this teenager on the other side was not so stable, although it was still unfathomable, it was far from being comparable to the true saint level.

"I'm just a dream, to guard this place and choose the true heir. ”

Teenager, Velen shrugged.

"But for thousands of years, very few people have been able to enter here, and no one has been able to pass the trial. ”

"Trial ......"

Grantia was a little panicked, she didn't have much experience in combat, at most she was good at hand-to-hand combat, and when it came to competing magic with a sage, she didn't have any confidence that she would be able to pass the trial.

"Although the two of you are a little out of order at a time, for the sake of your face as the only person who has come in these hundreds of years, let you go together. ”

Veron said, looking at the sapphire necklace hanging around Grantia's neck.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: He found you??]

[The ashes of no fire: worthy of being a sage, even if it is a projection, he can be keenly aware of the changes in the law, it doesn't matter, he doesn't seem to mind, let's go together. 】

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: The question is not one person or two, but that we have to fight with the Sage!]

[Fireless Afterglow: Don't worry, since he is still standing here and didn't make a direct move, there must be some other reason. 】

"Don't worry, I'm a mage, how can a scholar be rude?"

Velen smiled, reached out a little, and took out a crystal from the void.

It is the sparkling crystal.

He activated it slightly, and the crystal glowed, illuminating the hall.

"In my time, light was supposed to be a precious thing, the flame of order was like a candle in the wind, the earth was dark, and the storm of chaos raged across the continent, but I didn't expect that in this era, light was so easy to obtain. ”

"Huh...... Wait, is it because of this shining crystal that I was allowed to come in?"

Grandia was a little confused, although the Shining Crystal was indeed a magic guide that only appeared after the popularization of modern magic, but it was not special in itself, and it was not worthy of a sage's attention at all.

[Ashes without fire: I seem to understand his thoughts.] 】

Lawson was in Isrul, looking at the image of the Sage projected on the screen.

In fact, everything has a portent.

Why is the most important event at the founding anniversary of Christine Royal Academy a magic competition, and this magic competition is not a competition for the magic strength of battle, but requires students to research new magic?

And why, can the finalists enter this secret place to practice?

If it is purely a benefit, then there is no need to open it only for this period of time, but it should be used for a long time to improve the magic level of the person with excellent results, why do participants in magic competitions have such privileges?

The answer is simple.

Because the display of new, original magic is what Velen has set up to try.

The people who first discovered the ruins must have been able to enter this room and then accept the trial, but without exception, they all failed, they thought that they couldn't let the latecomers win easily, so they worked together to set up a shield of the law, so that the news here could not be exposed, although the level of these people was very high, but it did not reach the level of the sage, so that Lawson could break the barrier so easily, but he could not easily detect the situation in this room.

After Christine founded the school, the content of this trial became the prototype of the magic competition, and the administrators selected the best mages and sent their works to be displayed, hoping to be approved by the sage.

This ritual that resembles a sacrifice, after a hundred years, makes people forget its true purpose, and the remains of the saints have become a place for people to stay away, so far, no one dares to try it again.

"Intruder, what you've brought is quite interesting, but it's not that easy to pass the trial. ”

Velen snapped his fingers lightly, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed.

The old pillars of the walls were suddenly gone, replaced by a bright sky of stars, and Grandia was in the midst of a sea of stars, and she saw in the distance, brilliant nebulae swirling, stars shining and disappearing, and countless civilizations were born and destroyed.

"The stage has been set, and then it's time for the real trial. ”

Veron said, then spread his hands.

"On this stage, any fantasy can be directly turned into concrete things, and there is only one thing we have to do, and that is to create, exhaust our imagination and create amazing magic, and this is my law realm, [Hall of Stars]. ”

[Fireless Afterglow: It seems that he is going to have a one-on-one magic competition with you, and he will be more creative than you. 】

Rosen quickly understood the other party's thoughts and reminded Grantia.

I saw that as soon as Wei Lun waved his hand, a crystal immediately appeared in his palm, and when he activated it slightly, the crystal emitted light, which seemed to be no different from the shining crystal, but Wei Lun threw it into the air, and the crystal immediately flickered and changed into different colors, like neon lights.

"Here's my answer. ”

Veron said that it seems that this magic competition is to improve the items created by the opponent and completely convince the opponent to win.

"Next, it's my turn to ask questions. ”
