Chapter 6: Violent Thunder and Lightning
Magic, although not very scarce in the Valoran continent, is a very valuable talent compared to the warriors running around the streets. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If ordinary people are found to have magical talents, they will be absorbed and carefully cultivated by local forces, even if they can't become real mages, but noble mages need magic apprentices to help them complete some magic-related matters, so having a magic apprentice is also a gimmick that can recruit mages.
But Nassau is just an ordinary treaty port town, well, it's not very ordinary.
Although there are a lot of merchants coming and going in Nasu Town, and there are some people with special skills, most of them are warriors, because mages are a noble profession that is unique in ten thousand, where would a mage stoop down to follow a caravan.
So, until now, Galen has not fulfilled his wishes.
And now, a mage has finally come to Nassou Town, and according to Charles's analysis, this mage seems to be a very powerful mage, and Galen will not let go of this rare opportunity.
"Lux, are you close enough now, can you feel it?" Galen asked, crouching on the ground and looking around.
"Didn't old Wink say you can't go any further? If you go any further, someone will find out! Charles leaned on Galen's back and said earnestly.
"I'll try first, you two don't talk, I need a quiet environment." Lux said solemnly.
As she spoke, Lux closed her eyes, sat on her knees, and began to sense the magic fluctuations in the air.
It's just that she's just a little girl with a talent for magic, but she's never formally studied magic, and she doesn't know if she can rely on her own keen sense of magic fluctuations to find the exact location of the mage's room.
Seeing that Lux was starting to sense, Galen and Charles had nothing to do, and after holding it for a long time, they couldn't help but start chatting.
"I said Charles, how did you get old Wink to help us, he's a notoriously miser in town."
"Hmph, who am I, I'm Charles!"
"Don't sell it, tell me quickly."
"Really want to know?"
"Speak quickly, speak quickly."
"I gave him the gold coin that Master Mage gave me."
"What!"
"So Galen, you owe me a gold coin."
"What!!"
"Actually, with the relationship between the two of us, I don't need you to pay it back, but I have a request, that is, if the mage is willing to accept you this time, you can also take me out of Nassou Town, you and Lux, my two best friends, both of you are gone, and I don't want to stay here alone."
"What !!"
"Can you two be quiet?" In the face of Galen's louder and louder exclamations, Lux finally couldn't help it and scolded loudly.
Galen and Charles realized that something was wrong, and they quickly covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound, like quails.
Lux glanced at the two of them angrily, her eyes full of blame.
Galen and Charles both covered their mouths and shook their heads.
Lux pouted and crossed her waist and glared at the two of them, finally able to calm down and concentrate on the senses.
Slowly, Lux got better, and when she closed her eyes, she saw the darkness in front of her.
However, it didn't take long for the darkness to begin to glow with white flashes, and Lux slowly saw another world, a chaotic world.
This is also the elemental world that only mages can see!
In this world, Lux can clearly see the points of light shining with white light in her body, but for the outside of her body, she can only see a few scattered points of light, and the rest are gray.
"Not enough, that's not enough."
Lux thought to herself, "yes, let the light out of myself!" Shine a light on that gloom! ”
Lux's mind moved, and she began to mobilize the points of light in her body to wander away into the chaos outside.
As for Galen and Charles, they were only surprised to see Lux's body, which began to glow faintly milky white.
Lux's sudden change startled Galen and Charles, who looked at each other with incredulity, but seeing that Lux remained quiet and did not move, the two of them did not dare to speak.
And in the chaotic world that Lux saw, under the white light she urged, the gray world faded little by little, and the world she could see expanded little by little.
Even, the entire Prancing Horse Inn, in the chaotic world she saw, had already sketched a rough outline.
Lux's attention was on the VIP area, she focused her attention and explored towards that area, and she suddenly saw that not far away, there was a faint blue!
The faint blue color became larger and larger under Lux's attention, and Lux could even clearly see a few electric sparks exploding from the blue light cluster.
Over there!
There it is!
Lux just wanted to open her eyes, but found that the faint blue just now suddenly turned into a raging thunder and lightning!
With a tingling in the depths of his mind, the chaotic world that Lux saw was immediately filled with this violent thunderbolt, and, in this instant, collapsed, collapsed!
Countless blue thunderbolts, like poisonous snakes out of a hole, shot at her!
Not good!
"Not good!"
Lux snapped her eyes open, shouted loudly, and then collapsed to the ground with all her strength.
Before Galen and Charles could react, they saw Lux slumped to the ground, and at the same time, from the direction of the VIP area, a blue lightning bolt galloped towards the place where they were hiding!
At this critical moment, the protective Galen instinctively grasped the two-handed heavy sword behind his back, pulled it out with difficulty, and the horizontal sword rushed out, blocking in front of Lux!
The Shire, on the other hand, ...... Charles, oh, poor Charles was so frightened that he was hiding behind Lux with his head in his hands.
The galloping thunder and lightning stopped abruptly in front of Galen and scattered in all directions, and a man in a black cloak, from the thunder and lightning, stood in front of Galen's great sword, and the pitch-black cloak on his body was blowing without wind! It's like this dark night!
In the tense air, there were even flickering electric sparks.
However, at this moment, Galen didn't have the heart to appreciate the fireworks at that moment, his body was oppressed by an invisible pressure!
But Galen didn't retreat in the slightest, because behind him was his sister, and best friend!
Galen clenched the big sword, strong against the pressure, under this pressure, he could clearly feel that a powerful force was emerging in his body to help him resist this invisible pressure!
With the help of that force, Galen raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man in front of him.
Inside the hood of the black cloak was a pair of eyes full of rage, but with a hint of disdain, and Galen seemed to see a faint blue light on this person's face, which was ...... Galen once learned from the crew that there was another pattern that was as famous as magic, called Runes!
Galen couldn't hold back the tension in his heart, his throat moved, he swallowed his saliva, and the fingers holding the heavy sword couldn't stop shaking slightly.
Beneath the cloak, the man who glared at them spoke to them in a voice that was a little sharp, but seemed to have infinite power.
This sentence was like a thunderclap in their ears.
"You're spying on me, little one!"
