Chapter 7: Master of Magic

When we returned to Bernini's ironsmith shop, we settled down again, and when we saw Memphis's face a little depressed, I said: "We can't be considered a failure this time, on the one hand, we can get out of the house without losing our strength, and on the other hand, we have found out that the Blue House is not our target, and the remaining range has been narrowed to two. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But we only have one day left, so we must eradicate the troubles before the finals of the martial arts competition! So we must decide what to attack by tomorrow night, and with our current manpower, we can only attack one place! If the normal way cannot find out the enemy's reality, the only way to lure the snake out of the hole is ......"

Then he worked out a specific battle strategy for tomorrow, and let Memphis order his subordinates to do it.

After Memphis and his men left, leaving me, Mr. Vitan, Vivien, and Bernini, Mr. Vitan said to Bernini, "Take out what I have given you for safekeeping!" ”

Bernini took out a square object wrapped in a yellow silk from the inner room - this was originally the purpose of Teacher Vitan's trip, but because of the matter of Memphis, he did not have time to pay attention to it for the time being, and then Teacher Vitan asked him to take it out, believing that Teacher Vitan estimated that there would be no peace in the next two days, and he did not want to dream a lot at night, so he would achieve the purpose of this trip first.

Vivien and I both looked curiously at the inconspicuous square object on the table, wondering how important it was, and that Teacher Vitan had gone to great lengths to retrieve it, as if Bernini, once the greatest warrior of the dwarves, had spent the rest of his life protecting it.

Teacher Vitan gently untied the yellow silk, and what was presented to us was a box with a fine pattern and a simple form.

I felt a slight fluctuation in the magic power as Mr. Vitan gently placed his palm on the box, and then with a "bang", the box opened.

This is a box with magic as the key! Due to the different strengths, frequencies, characteristics, and modes of operation of each magician, the different characteristics of the magician's magic power are constituted, just as people's fingerprints are different, and the magic power of different magicians is also very different, even if it is a homogeneous magician, there will be slight differences due to different factors such as their own temperament.

Therefore, a skilled magician can tell from the fluctuations of spatial magic elements who is performing magic at a certain distance, provided that this person is familiar to the magician. The magic box in front of you is made according to this principle, and only the magician who owns the magic box himself can open it.

As soon as the box was opened, Mr. Vitan took out two things from it: one of them was a yellowed piece of paper, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was a map.

Teacher Vitan unfolded it and glanced at it, then folded it, handed it to me, and said, "Put away this map, it will be where you are going...... Of course, there's one thing missing to get there......"

I put the map away and asked, "Teacher, is this a treasure map?" ”

Teacher Vitan shook his head and replied, "No. It's where I've lived for a long time......"

If it was the place where Mr. Vitan lived, why did it have to be so complicated? Teacher Vitan just took us directly, is it really like Teacher Vitan said, so old that he can't even remember the road?

Seeing that I was puzzled, Mr. Vitan explained, "When I left there, I vowed not to return until the last days of my life, and I sealed all my memories of it, and then gave the map and the key to the Elven to be kept by Bernini and Queen Athena of the Elves, respectively. So, you have to get to the fairy forest first. ”

"Teacher, will you go there with me?" I asked, if Mr. Vitan was with me, I wouldn't need to explain these things, and leave the map to me for safekeeping.

"Under normal circumstances, I would...... Return to my resting place...... But I don't know how long I can live, and now my signs of life are showing precariousness. ”

After Mr. Vitan finished speaking, he took out another thing in the box: a white handkerchief, embroidered with the pattern of a unicorn spirit animal and a bauhinia flower.

Mr. Vitan put the handkerchief in the palm of his hand and stroked it gently, and a sad look appeared on his face, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

Benigni said in a hoarse voice, "It's been so many years...... You still can't put it down? ”

"In human life, there are some things that cannot be said to be let go...... Even if you can seal the memory of everything there, you can't seal the love and pain that were once unforgettable......"

Mr. Vitan carefully folded the handkerchief, hid it in his arms, and then said something that puzzled me: "Where the dream begins, it is also where the dream ends......

Although I couldn't understand the true meaning of Mr. Vitan's words, I couldn't help but think of the scene when I first met Aaronshi, the name of which is where all my dreams began, and could it be the place where all my dreams ended......

The next morning, I ran to the town square to watch the semi-finals in Memphis, and since my game was scheduled for the afternoon, I had the time to watch at my leisure—I didn't want to stay in the store and watch Vivienne teach Vivien magic.

Memphis's opponent was a middle-aged man, ordinary-looking, ordinary-tall, but what caught my attention was the unusual weapon in his hand—an elongated broadsword with a blade, which was as tall as the bearer of the sword.

And Memphis, who is armed with a "blunt" broad-mouthed sword, is also a special existence that is not commensurate with a weapon due to his incarnation of a medium stature.

It can be said that this game is heavy weapons against heavy weapons, and they all give people a sense of incongruity in using weapons that are beyond their own control ability. There's definitely going to be a game to look forward to, and I'm secretly glad it was a worthwhile trip.

The middle-aged man in the field clenched his fists and said, "Matthew, bounty hunter!" ”

When the crowd heard Matthew's name, there was a commotion, and some even shouted: "Top 10 bounty hunters in the mainland!" "Matthew the Strange Hunter!" "Away from the Demon Knife of Hatred!"

"Danro, wandering swordsman!" Memphis returned the salute and said.

The two of them didn't talk nonsense, and they split their swords and launched a series of rapid exchanges.

When the two men stopped after a round of mutual probing, their swords pointing at each other.

Then, the two rushed towards each other at the same time, the cumbersome weapons in their hands were used with smart moves, and the swords were like a qualitative wind that invaded the parts that the other party must save, but there was no sound of weapons clashing, this kind of delicate and continuous sword momentum blade has gone beyond the scope of swordsmanship and knife skills, and can even be appreciated with an artistic eye.

In the dazzling sword light and sword shadow, the weapons of the two sides did not touch once, and they did not even touch each other's clothes, so the sword technique has surpassed the inherent concept of sword use and reached the realm above the great sword master. However, in this battle that is like an artistic performance, it kills the undercurrent, and whoever shows the slightest flaw will become the cause of defeat.

At this moment, the offensive of the two suddenly turned from light to fierce, the sudden exchange of weapons continued to sound, countless sparks from the violent collision of the sword soldiers flew like rain, and the fierce sword qi and sword wind swept the field like a sudden blow.

But this thunderous offensive began quickly and ended quickly. Like a freshly blown hurricane, it suddenly stopped without warning, but it lifted everyone's hearts to their chests at once.

When both sides stopped again, a large number of beads of sweat broke out on both of them, and their eyes showed a glow of admiration for each other.

I saw Memphis's eyes lowered, his long sword lightly touching the ground, facing the audience, and facing Matthew with his shoulders sideways, in a peculiar pose. Matthew, on the other hand, stood in a lunge, his upper body leaning back slightly, and the glittering "Hatred Demon Knife" hugged his chest tightly, and the tip of the knife was slightly tilted forward, reflecting the dazzling bright light. It gives people a sense of urgency that is still and tense.

In the silence of this moment, all those who watched the battle could feel a kind of pressure before the storm, and nervous emotions appeared on their faces, as if they were in the killing field.

Suddenly, Matthew slammed his waist, and his whole body quickly advanced towards Memphis, the long knife in his hand suddenly soared, and the high-speed knife light turned into a ball of light to cover Memphis, and the entity of the long knife suddenly appeared from the ball of light, stabbing at Memphis with terrifying knife aura!

But I saw Memphis suddenly take a step back diagonally to the right back, twisted and stride, the long sword was picked diagonally off the ground, and the tip of the long knife hit the weakest part of the opponent's strength, and the long knife was immediately swung away, and the "blunt sword" immediately brought up a piece of sword light, and slashed at Matthew's lower abdomen.

Matthew's knife was useless, his momentum was slightly suffocated, and he hurriedly returned the knife to protect himself, flying back a few meters. As he stood still, a look of surprise appeared on Matthew's calm face.

In this round of offensive defense, the Memphis sword made a sword move, and the Matthew sword was used as a sword, completely subverting the general meaning and inherent definition of the sword, which made me breathtaking.

At this moment, Memphis took advantage of Matthew's momentum to suffocate, and actually inserted the "blunt sheath" back into the left flank scabbard, held the sword handle tightly with his right hand, and rushed forward, and when he was close to Matthew, the "blunt sheath" suddenly pulled out of the sheath, drawing out a blazing light like the sun, turning into lightning and lightning, passing through the space between the two, the extremely violent sword wind brought a chilling sharp whistle, and it slashed towards Matthew violently!

Matthew hurriedly blocked the frame with his sword, but was swept away by the long sword, and Memphis's long sword had already slashed across his chest, and the two of them instantly staggered, stopped, and stood still.

A breeze blew, and Matthew suddenly fell down, holding his long knife on the ground with his backhand, barely maintaining a half-squatting position. I saw that a long sword mark had been cracked on Matthew's chest, blood continued to seep out, and the tiger heart of his right hand holding the long knife also oozed blood.

"Drawing the sword! Thou hast wielded the fiercest and most fierce drawing technique with thy sword! I'm defeated! Matthew turned around and glanced at Memphis, his excited language tinged with the loneliness of a loser.

"Thankfully! Brother Matthew's knife skills are rare in my life! To be able to fight with a knife master like Brother Matthew is really a great joy in my life! Memphis said, holding out his right hand to Matthew.

Matthew didn't take the hand that Memphis handed over, he struggled to get up, and walked off the stage without saying a word.

Memphis was stunned and muttered to himself, "What a character, strange hunter!" What's cool?! ”

I know that Memphis has admired this "weird Matthew."

I didn't bother with Memphis's sympathy, and began to imagine the image of a formidable opponent I would face in the afternoon, a terrifying magician with a master's degree in magic.

Walking in the crooked alley, Memphis, who had changed his attire, passed behind me, walked in front and whispered without looking back, "Are you coming?" ”

I replied, "Come along!" ”

"Do you want to act now?"

"Don't be in a hurry, start in the evening, and then attack at night, and attack the enemy by surprise. Now let's get rid of them first. After I finished speaking, I overtook Memphis again, and the magic power that had already been condensed was activated in an instant, and with one hand, the person disappeared from the air.

Memphis had already inserted himself into the ramp, and disappeared without a trace, and when the people following him followed, he found that the target seemed to be eliminated in the air.

※※※

I stood on the stage, the "unnamed" in my hand stretched back diagonally, my arms and waist stretched at a seventy-degree angle, like a bowstring pulled backwards, at the critical point of movement and stillness, completing the momentum of preparation, while my eyes calmly looked at the opponent in front of me who was condensing the magic element more than ten meters away.

My opponent in the semi-finals was a magician named Gasisi, with blue hair and black eyes, a long pointed face, a slender build, about twenty years old, wearing a wide purple magic robe, which made him feel like he was held up by a long penny. The purple robes are embroidered with red lace on the cuffs and neckline, and there are two golden horizontal stripes on the chest, indicating that he is not a magician certified by the Magic Guild, but a magician who has obtained a degree from a magic academy that is also accredited.

There are about three different mage authentication systems on the Sacred Continent: one is certified by the Mage's Guild, and its ranks are trainee mage, mage, archmage, magician, archmage, and archmage - this is our usual classification of magicians.

The other is a magician system certified by the powerful royal family, in order of magician sir, magician baron, magician viscount, magician earl, magician marquis, magician duke, in essence, the level of magician is determined by the title, and the magician who is awarded the magic title enjoys half a level of treatment in the court than the royal family members with the same title, of course, these magicians are few, and most of them are originally members of the royal family, and the magicians who are born from commoners are only rare after all.

The last is the academy certification system, which divides the level of magicians by interns and bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral degrees (of course, the strongest magician recognized by the academy is the postdoctoral magic tutor, which is directly certified by the Magic Society, which is equivalent to the great magician), but this kind of magician must have a formal magical academy education and have certain practical experience in magic before he can apply for a degree from the relevant college. And not all academies have the qualification to confer degrees, only the academies authorized by the Magic Society are eligible to confer degrees, there are only about twenty academies in the mainland with this qualification, and other academies only have the power to teach magic but not the power to confer degrees. Most magicians graduate from their original academy and become a magic intern, and after a few years of training, they go to the academy to take a degree exam. Many magic students will only be able to maintain their status as interns for the rest of their lives, or transfer to the Magic Guild for certification - of course, whether it is the standards of the Magic Guild, the Crown, or the Magic Society, the difficulty is the same. However, relatively speaking, the Wizards' Guild has seven levels, the royal family has six levels, and the Magical Society only has five levels and four degrees, so those who can't get a degree hope to get a low-level mage qualification through the Magic Guild.

It can be said that among all the well-developed professional systems on the mainland, only the three professions of magician, swordsman, and knight will develop these three different certification systems, which is related to the particularity of their professions and is inseparable from the shortage of talents in mainland countries. Other professions such as bounty hunters, mercenaries, etc., are mainly certified by various professional guilds. Of course, there are some professions that are not qualified by the professional guild, such as priests, clergy, priests and other clergy who must be certified by the temple or the Holy See.

The academic magician in front of him had two golden stripes embroidered on his chest, indicating that he had obtained a master's degree, and his strength should be between a magician and a great magician. This is an opponent who can't be careless! In your twenties, you can pass the college certification to become a master's degree, and you must not take it lightly.

I waited for the other person to complete the protective spell while I was preoccupied with timing the attack. According to the unwritten rules of the continent, swordsmen and magicians must keep a certain distance before officially fighting each other in fair play, and only after the magician has completed the protective magic can the swordsman attack.

After a while, Gasisi had already completed a water shield in front of him, and I knew that the time to attack was also coming, so I slashed the long sword behind me forward, sending out a sharp wind blade and slashing towards Gasisi ten meters away.

The Wind Blade that split through the air cut into the water shield of Gasisi, only causing the water shield to dent inward, but it failed to split the water shield, and the water elemental horse that was squeezed to the side by the wind blade swam back and wrapped the wind blade to dissolve it, and then returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

This water elemental shield is really strong! My tentative blow has already tested the opponent's strong magical strength, and it seems that it will not be easy to defeat the magician of this academy.

At this time, Gasi Sisi had already launched a counterattack, and countless ice blades burst out from the water guard, reflecting a dazzling halo under the afternoon sun, and it hit me like rain and lightning quickly!

It seems that this is a master of water element magic, and it takes a lot of magic to use water magic both offensively and defensively, and to launch both offensive and defensive magic at the same time, and this master of magic not only did it, but also used the skills of magic quite skillfully, without any tricks, and used every bit of magic power in practice, without any waste of magic power.

Thinking like this, I didn't dare to be slow about this round of terrifying ice blade attacks, and "Weiming" stretched forward to destroy the sword fighting qi of the whole body, causing the "Weiming" in his hand to rotate rapidly, turning into a brilliant wave of light, and the surrounding wind elements began to form a tornado with "Weiming" as the central axis. At this time, "Weiming" has left the palm of my hand and stopped in the void a few feet away from my palm, but it seems to have an invisible connection with my hand, swinging with the direction of the swing of my right hand - I have completely used the sword fighting spirit as the medium, and controlled the "Weiming" with spiritual power.

Under the blow of the tornado, all the skates were swung open and fell uncontrollably beside me.

Gasius seemed taken aback, unaware that I also had the ability to manipulate magic, and that I had unleashed wind magic against the norm. Because I induce magic by urging my own fighting spirit to resonate with the magical elements of the outside world, this is no longer a pure concept of magic, but a category of energy aggregation.

During the period of Demon Martial Arts, I found that when the frequency of sword fighting qi reaches the same level as the magic elements of the outside world, it can resonate with each other, this simple physical principle was introduced by me into my own aesthetic sword skills, using spiritual power as the source of control, and sword fighting qi as the medium, so as to avoid the loss of time and energy caused by other magic swordsmen having to chant magic spells while attacking or magic swordsmen using sword fighting qi to induce the magic energy of the magic sword itself. This simple transformation of what I think is the use of swords and the use of magic is actually a revolutionary discovery of the understanding of magical energy, but I don't know it.

As soon as I cracked the attack of the Garsisi, I rushed towards the Garsisi like lightning, instantly closing the distance, the "Weiming" in my hand glowed with a crimson light, and finally the sword body turned into a blazing and beating flame, and I shouted: "Beautiful sword technique - Vulcan Fury Flame Song!" "Like a raging wave striking the water shield of Gasisi.

The face of Gasi changed instantly, and he hurriedly destroyed the magic power to tighten the thickness of the water barrier, and the intersection of fire and water turned into a steaming mist, which filled the entire venue, and the vast space was shrouded in heavy white mist, which was artificially created a foggy day, and the people in the fog could not even see the light of the scorching afternoon sun, and everyone screamed in surprise at this vision.

Just as Gasith was relieved to try his best to block my blow, the flames of the frontal attack suddenly split from the center into several strands after encountering the Water Shield, and attacked the weakly defended rear of the Water Shield from eight different directions.

Gasius took a quick step back, his eyes glinting with hatred and rage, the nerves on his sharp face twitching uncontrollably, his teeth biting his lower lip deeply, and his bitten lower lip oozing blood—a sign of a hysterical man losing control of his first setback.

Then he clasped his hands together, his fingers intertwined and condensed a strange mudra, and he chanted the incantation: "Wider than the great sea, more violent than the raging storm!" Traveler from time and space, please bless me with the goddess of water, Kamanitha! Let the water spirits of the space dance in a raging dance, cleanse the world of all sin, and summon in my name - the wrath of the sea god! ”

When the water shield was broken, the spell of Gasisi had been completed, and a violent wave poured out towards me, and the high-speed water flow swept overwhelmingly, and the gentle water element turned into countless sharp blades to fill the entire space!

This guy actually launched a terrible forbidden spell, and in order to win, he didn't even care about the life and death of the people around him, it was really not ordinary ruthless!

Although I despise life, I discuss senseless killing, which is probably the difference between ruthlessness and madness, right?

The surrounding crowd fled in panic and frantically, and some people were still swallowed alive by this stream of water that was more terrible than any weapon because they could not avoid it, and it seemed that there was only a wail left between heaven and earth!

I didn't dare to slack off at all, and with a rapid roar, the "unnamed" in my hand turned into a flaming wave of high-speed rotation, barely blocking this terrible blow. But the sharp wind from the water that swept near my body still cut a few small scars on my body, and the two wounds on my face were even more stinging like a burn!

After temporarily blocking the blow, I quickly fell to my body, and my left hand, which was full of fighting energy, clenched into a fist and slapped the ground vigorously, and my body rushed forward diagonally against the current, quickly approaching the center of the storm.

"Poseidon's Wrath" is the ultimate attack magic of the water system launched with Gasisi as the center, so the center of the storm is also the most vulnerable point of magic, if this magic is launched by a magister, I'm afraid the most vulnerable point will also become the most powerful point, but Gasisi has not yet reached this state after all, so I still have the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

When I approached the front of the temple, a sharp leap, the wind flew above his head, floating in the air I like clouds and water, graceful, chic like the wind god walking, the "unnamed" in the hand turned into a move from top to bottom straight split, the huge fighting spirit gushed out, the rotating energy quickly urged the beautiful sword skills dazzling and gorgeous blow - "wind god Yu Xiang dance"!

Gases didn't think I'd find the weakest point of his defenses - an attack from the air, and hurriedly lured the rag into the air, condensing the magical elements all over his body in an attempt to intercept my gorgeous and furious blow!

However, the ground at Gasisi's feet suddenly cracked and sank, and the sharp blades of the ridged stones pierced Gasisi's lower body, and the blood stained his knees, and the intense pain hit his nerves, causing his whole face to twist into a ball, and the raging tide of "Poseidon's Fury" also collapsed in an instant.

And my domineering blow has already hit the body of Gasisi solidly! The frenzied sword qi penetrated into the body of Gasisi through the sword body, and the spiral cyclone rotated around his body at high speed like a wind mill, and Gasisi's body actually swelled like a balloon, and finally could not withstand the fierce energy, let out a dull cracking sound, turned into a piece of dust, and rose up along the wind whirlwind, and was taken to the dark void.

I stood in the hall after the decisive battle, and the ground on which Gasisi had stood had become a large hole and some ridged stones, which I had formed by striking the ground with my fist and letting the energy run along the leylines of the earth to the Gasisi to produce a crack. And the audience seats below are even more shambles.

Memphis, who was still in the original place, looked at me a little distractedly, and only after a long time did he spit out two words from his mouth: "Terrible! ”
