Chapter 005: Prophecy

Previous Chapter

"Uncle Palmer, you're here too!" Yuna greeted Palmer cheerfully. Eli followed, greeting Jody and Palmer in turn.

"Coffee, or tea?" asked Eli with a smile.

"Tea, Eli likes to drink milky tea. Yuna replied.

"Oh, why don't you just drink milk? There's purple deer milk, and it tastes great. Jody looked at Eli with a soft gaze, showing kindness to him.

Eli remembers that it was a ferocious subspecies of elk covered in purple fluffy hair, and the giant antlers of the male Purple Deer could exceed 12 feet, and the length of 1 foot in this world was close to 1 foot of the earth, which meant that the antlers of the male Purple Deer could be close to 4 meters. Female purple deer do not have antlers, but they run extremely fast, and when the female purple deer runs with all her strength, her body will be as ethereal as smoke, hence the name of the purple smoke deer.

This is not a common drink, and Eli realizes that purple deer milk can be very expensive, so he says, "Milk tea is fine, oh, I mean milky tea." โ€

"You can try the purple deer milk first, I'm sure you'll like it. As soon as Jody finished speaking, the glass containing the milky white drink flew into Eli's hand.

"It's amazing. Eli exclaimed.

Palmer smiled and said to Eli, "'Mage Assistant', this is just a zero-level spell that can telepathize with items within 10 pounds. You seem to have completely digested the potion. If you want to become a mage, I'm sure you'll be able to learn this spell soon. โ€

"Is there any difference between a mage and a warlock?" Eli asked curiously. On the way here, he had heard Yuna mention that Uncle Palmer was actually a warlock.

"For mages, magic is not a gift, but a skill acquired through hard work, and warlocks do not rely on spell books, but on the power of their own bloodline, and they are generally descendants of dragons or demons, like Palmer, whose ancestors can be traced back to the White Dragon. Jody replied in place of Palmer.

Palmer actually has dragon blood. Although the white dragon is the smallest and weakest of the dragon creatures, it is still a terrifying existence for most races. The White Dragons were active in the Age of Chaos in the Third Age, but at the end of the Age of Turbulence, they were almost slaughtered by their old enemies, the Frost Demons.

"Eli, can I check the condition of the magic in your body?" After the greetings, Jody got to business.

"Of course. Eli nodded. He believed in Yuna's father's kindness, otherwise he wouldn't have come here at all.

Jody put his hand against Eli's forehead and cast a magic puzzle. Eli shivered uncontrollably as he felt an indescribable force flow through him. Jody is not only probing the depth of the magic in Eli's body, but also guiding him to actively perceive the magic element.

The magic element was working in Eli's body, and Eli felt a pang of colic, and just as Eli was in great pain, a wave of heat poured out of his body, and the temperature in the room rose sharply, as if it was the height of summer.

This surprised Jody and Palmer as well. None of their experience can explain what that means. Jody hurriedly interrupted the probe spell.

And as the temperature on Eli's body returned to normal, a sense of transparency permeated, and he felt that his body was much lighter. And more importantly, he was clearly aware that he could already control the magic element in his body, although this control was very limited, and he could only mobilize a little magic element at a time for his use.

Seeing that Eli didn't look unusual, Jody let out a long breath, and he turned to Palmer and said, "Maybe you won't believe it, the concentration of magic essence in Eli's body is about the same as that of a normal second-order mage. โ€

"How is that possible?" Palmer blurted out. But he immediately realized that Jody wouldn't be pretending, so he looked at Eli and laughed, "I've met an amazing little guy." โ€

Yuna also excitedly asked his father at this time, "Is Eli not in danger anymore, is he very powerful?"

Jody touched Yuna's head, and then said to Eli, "The concentration of magic in your body is beyond imagination, you can rest assured that the bottle of potion will not put your life in danger." If you're going to become a mage, you can stay here tonight, and I'll tell you everything I know and everything you can understand so far. Of course, mages aren't the only option, and with your talents, you can also be a good warrior or a priest. But I can only help you on the path of the mage. โ€

The concentration of magic essence in his body can reach the level of a second-order mage! Originally, this body should have been mediocre, after all, the original Eli died because the magic essence in his body was not up to standard after the bottle of magic potion was completely digested. When one's soul crosses into this body, even the physique has changed? This is probably the welfare of the traverser. Eli thought to herself.

Jody exchanged a look with Palmer, pondered for a moment, and then continued to Eli, "One more thing I have to tell you is that the village of Tavolib is no longer safe, and tomorrow I will take Yuna over the high mountain to the north and leave here. โ€

Yuna was taken aback when she heard this, she puffed out her cheeks, and said a little angrily, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?"

"This is a decision just made, we always thought that the prophecy was just a rumor, but since many people believe it, various forces have come to this village one after another in order to get the prophecy, and this place is bound to become a battlefield. Jody explained to Yuna, who then looked at Eli, "You can call Moira and Clappen with us, I can't guarantee the safety of the journey, but staying in this village will definitely be more dangerous." โ€

"The various forces? do you mean that the dwarves and elves who came here today actually represent other forces, and their real purpose is not to come to the party, but because of a prophecy?" Eli digested what Jody had just said.

"What kind of prophecy is it?" Yuna added.

Jody was about to speak, when the doorbell rang for Yuna's house, "It's our friendโ€”Spender Griffin," Palmer said to Jody as he opened the door.

"Yo, our little princess. Spender greeted Yuna as he entered, and he shoved a scroll into Yuna's arms, and Eli naturally didn't know what it was.

Spender glanced at Eli and paused, then Jody spoke, "This little guy is not an outsider. โ€

Spender took a sip of the purple deer milk that had flown into his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "My raven pet told me that the dwarves and halflings had clashed, and that the others were not involved, but were just watching. โ€
