Just like Brandon, before leaving the real "Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower", Loren and Corona also made a small "pact".

As a wizard, he will assist and stand in the shoes of the wizards, and will not expose Corona's plans, and in turn, he will teach himself how to use the power of the Valve.

To put it simply, after facing one evil god after another, the black-haired wizard is convinced that he needs a new "mentor" to teach him.

He now has two "valves" - but in reality there is no use for anything other than passively breaking into the dream world of the evil god, or constructing his own dream world through Isaac's crude "dreaming" method.

Of course, Corona wasn't the only one who could teach him how to use the Valve. Loren knew very well that since the Battle of the Ancient Wood Forest, Asriel had been guiding himself to use the power of the valve, intentionally or unintentionally, otherwise he would not have survived as early as the Great Tree Wall!

But...... That's definitely not without a price.

On the other hand, as a wizard who wants to master this completely different power, it is naturally more secure to learn from another wizard who understands it, at least without worrying about being blackmailed by a teenager who suddenly appeared.

At least one wizard is someone who can be traded and negotiated.

Asrael ...... Even now, Loren never really believed him.

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, you... Are you ready?" the old man in front of him suddenly asked, his expression no longer gentle and serious.

The black-haired wizard nodded solemnly.

"Before I start, I have to tell you one thing. Corona sighed, "You are known in wizarding history, the second wizard to have two 'valves', and the first is 'Logan in a hat' - I don't deny that I will give you the Nine-Pointed Grail, partly because of that." ”

"I can understand that. Loren's expression was calm, and the other party's answer was also expected by him.

"In the same way, my teaching to you is basically limited to the first valve, as for the second...... At the Grail Hall, I told you everything I knew. ”

Opening the second valve will give you a new "vision" of what you can't understand, and you'll discover the "eyes" that peep into you—all the messages left behind by Logan, the hat-wearing "first wizard".

In three sentences, in fact, they are all the same keyword, "new horizons".

What exactly is "New Horizons"?

The concentrated black-haired wizard looked nervously at each other as he pondered the answer to the question.

"So, let's get started. Corona blinked and said in that ageing but gentle voice, "First of all...... You have to reverse the misconception that the word 'valve' is actually ridiculous. ”

What the?

Loren's expression trembled slightly, but he didn't speak.

"We use the concept of 'valve' because it's the wisdom passed down from Logan, the First Wizard. But you have to understand that Logan's thinking has surpassed us, so many of his points are not applicable because we simply don't understand them. ”

Corona said in a deep voice, "Based on my experience with the Holy Grail and the records of wizarding sages throughout history, it may be more appropriate and understandable to call it 'Key'. ”

Key?

Loren, who noticed this word, subconsciously said, "You mean that wizards are born with some kind of 'shackles'?"

"It should be said that all intelligent beings are in the same situation—because our spiritual and physical beings are in a state of complete separation, so that our use and contact with the power of the void are naturally limited, and we cannot use them as unscrupulously as those evil gods. ”

Corona smiled slightly, "I remember that you invented a new way of casting spells, called the 'Magic Circle'; did Freswalker ever say that this power of yours is very similar to the principle of the Holy Grail?"

The black-haired wizard nodded.

"Haven't you discovered the principle of the 'spiritual temple' of all wizards, like a simplified version of the 'dream world'?"

At that moment, Lorenche was truly stunned!

"Our bodies are naturally unable to withstand the effects of the Void, so we engrave mantras in the Spirit Temple, and the release and application of the power of the Void will greatly consume our energy, so we can recover it by meditating in the Spirit Temple, and every time we add to our understanding of the Void, we will change the form of the Spirit Temple......"

"The spiritual hall is the product of the sorcerers under the shackles who have to compromise. Corona seemed to have anticipated Loren's expression, and chuckled: "And the 'valve' is the key to open the shackles!"

The black-haired wizard pursed his lips, his eyes narrowed into a slit:

"Let me guess that the Spirit Hall is the one who came up with the idea of imitating the design of the dream world......"

"Logan in a hat. Corona bowed slightly, and there was more expression on his old face:

"You are a quick learner, Lord Loren Turin. ”

"The void is a world that exists because it does not exist, a world of information and emotion, pure and gratuitous...... opening sentence of Step into Meditation, a primer for wizards to have. Loren sighed and smiled a little helplessly: "You said before that almost everything about Logan is either submerged in history or erased by the church......

How do I feel that the traces of this master seem to be everywhere?"

"Let Logan's wisdom be passed on as much as possible, and it will be us, the successors... Or one of the obligations of the Logan believers. The old man spoke softly, with a hint of cunning in his dim eyes.

The black-haired wizard sighed softly.

"Our natural limitations prevent us from reaching the heights of our own intelligence, so in the years that followed, many wizards looked beyond themselves – so alchemy, potions, herbs... Many practical disciplines were born one by one, but the occult science pioneered by Logan was shelved, and the science of spells was not in the flow, and only the ancient runes remained alive. ”

"Do you think this is a sad result?" Loren heard the sigh in the old man's voice.

"No, admitting one's own shortcomings and turning to finding one's own direction is in itself a form of weak wisdom. Corona looked at him kindly:

"If we can't accept the reality, I'm afraid that today's wizards will still be as alive as they were hundreds of years ago. ”

"And the 'valve' can open the shackles, so that wizards have the power to match their own intelligence?"

"No, that's definitely not the power to 'match yourself', absolutely not. Corona put away her previous smile and became much more solemn:

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, you must remember this, the reason why the power of the 'Valve' or the Holy Grail is so tirelessly pursued by wizards is because its power has surpassed our own!"

"Actually, you've already experienced it. The old man's dim eyes deepened: "Metzka, Asriel...... 'Valve' has removed the boundaries for you, and you can use all kinds of powerful high-level spells without fear, and the power is unbelievable, and you also believe that this is your true power." ”

"But...... It shouldn't turn out well, right?"

Loren's pupils shrank slightly.

The aftermath of the Battle of Metzka has not been completely healed until now... Otherwise, Loren wouldn't be so constrained in the face of Ellie.

"Combining the answers that the first valve brought to us, and the wisdom that Rogan left behind, I came to a conclusion. Corona said silently: "The so-called 'valve' should also be gradual - the process of opening the valve is like an evolutionary process." ”

"The first step is to break the shackles of ourselves and bring our power to a certain level – the so-called 'transcendence itself', which some wizards call 'transcendental'. ”

"The second step is to improve our wisdom, so that our thinking can match our strength;"

The black-haired wizard was lost in thought.

"Now that I've said that, I'm going to use my own experience to slowly teach you how to control the first valve skillfully, but before that, ......"

The corners of the old man's mouth once again showed a sly smile:

"Class!"
