【Chapter 529】 Gathering Rune

The fate of the elves is staked, and Eslena and Iluri have not hidden it from them after they have converted to their faith. Of course, they were not forced to convert.

When Elbran told Esrena and Iluri that the god of worship was not the elven god of luxury, but a god who controlled dreams, Galia was shocked.

"Are you saying that the two of them have been guided by the true God?"

Galia's voice trembled a little, the fundamental reason for the formation of the Free Mage Association was that they were the outcasts of the gods who had been expelled by the bright gods worshiped by the ancient Kurminsk Empire.

The magical power of the Guild's magicians is derived from the magical gems they have won from the Empire's legacy. These gemstones are non-renewable, at least not in Arabe. There is only one way to obtain magic gems, that is, the five secret mines controlled by the mages of the Kurminsk Empire, after the empire fell apart, several major forces fought against each other, and what they robbed was the gem resources of the secret mines.

The magicians of Arabe City seem to have a high status, but in the eyes of the mage associations in Kurminsk, they are actually a group of spurned and despised losers, because they are not even qualified to compete for the secret mines, and can only use some ridiculous commercial methods to collect poor resources.

Despite the city's thriving commerce and seclusion, the powerful magicians disdained to associate with the outcasts, let alone gold and silver treasures—they only had magical gems in their eyes.

Therefore, free-thinking magicians, including elder mages, have low self-esteem in their hearts and are ashamed of being God's outcasts.

This is a semi-open secret within the mage, but many rookie magicians who came later, born and raised in Arabe, did not have a deep feeling for that past. Coupled with the fact that they have been revered for a long time, they don't have much feeling for God's outcasts.

But...... That doesn't mean they don't pursue it.

In the archmage's description, true magical power is a precious gift belonging to the gods, and magic gems are only the carriers of power. Those powers can be extracted, and in addition to being used to craft a variety of magical items, it also has an extremely important role, that is, to strengthen oneself and completely exert magical power on oneself, without the need for any magical items, and can be freely used.

However, this ability is the secret of the Imperial Mage Guild, and only those lucky enough to be chosen will be able to embark on the path of true mages and gain a long life to serve under the Jewel Throne of the True God.

It was a path of power that the Archmage longed for all his life, and it was the fundamental reason why the Elder Mages were revered - they were all members of the Imperial Mage Guild, they could release magic without the need for magic items, and with the support of the remaining power of the gods, they had survived to the present, nearly three hundred years!

The Forsaken meant that they were permanently disqualified from serving the God of Gems, and the Elder Mages gave hope to the next generation of mages and told them to open their minds and find a new path to power—the favor of other gods.

In search of hope, many aspiring magicians choose to leave the city of Arabe and travel around the world in search of clues to the gods.

Galia's father was one of them, and after raising her and Hadilis to adulthood and successfully promoted to mid-level magician, he chose to embark on an unknown path.

For three years, he has not returned, and his life and death are unknown.

But Galia respects her father's choice, because it is a lifelong dream of a magician. Even, she decided early on that after Hadilys was able to live independently, she would follow in her father's footsteps and embark on her ideal journey.

I never expected it.

Eslena and Eluri are the favored apostles of the gods!

It's no wonder that their magical abilities are very strange, but they are extremely powerful.

And that's not the point!

The Church of the Holy Spirit from the Kingdom of Tia had come to the city of Arabe, and the magicians had seen the power of the Holy Spirit at their disposal and were envious of it.

But - the proud church of the Holy Spirit is only here to do business. They also despise the status of 'God's outcasts', how can the great Holy Spirit care for the garbage that other gods have thrown away?

That's a shame on the Holy Spirit.

As a result, the Church of the Holy Spirit has always avoided talking about the question of the belief in the Holy Spirit when the magicians asked to discuss it, and maintained an attitude of absolute rejection.

But now, she's got the point!

Esrena and Iluri are renegades of the faith, very similar to them, and Hadirith is also in a dream.

What does it mean?

It shows that the god of dreams has the possibility of accepting them!

This discovery instantly ignited the long-dormant dream in Galia's heart, and it was also the dream of all God's outcasts.

"It's true, and the power they have is proof of that. ”

Elbrand nodded honestly and looked at the sleeping three, a little envy flashed in his eyes: "Iluli is the one who originally chose to embark on this path, in order to protect our relatives. The same is true of Esrena, who has been guided by the gods to become apostles, protecting their families with all their might. ”

Galia's breath became rapid, and her eyes were eager, "You mean that Hadilith may be in a dream, communicating with their gods. Or are you being guided?"

Albrand's apologetic stall hand: "I can't guarantee it. But...... I think it's possible. Perhaps, we need to wait for them to wake up before we can get an accurate answer. ”

"Yes, yes. I understand. Galia, who was emotional, rubbed her hands nervously. Hadilith was indeed in a steady state, breathing evenly, and her little face was serene.

Woo~~~

The dull sound of trumpets came from the city walls, signaling that the battle of defense was about to begin.

Galia was stunned for a moment, and realized that she had just gotten carried away and forgot about the current situation in Arabe City.

"Miss Fisher. Elbrand, like her, smiled weakly: "The attack is about to begin, and without Esrena and Iluri, it is almost impossible to hold this section of the wall." That's why I asked you to come. ”

The implication is that once the walls are lost, the three of Eslena will immediately fall into danger.

"No, we can't wake them up, we can't even touch them!"

"But...... The situation is not up to you and me. ”

Jialia paced back and forth a little anxiously, and suddenly gritted her teeth, Huo Ran raised her head: "Miss Elbrand, in the current situation, you need to make an important decision!"

"What decision?" Elbran nodded heavily, "As long as I have the ability, you can just say it." ”

Jialia said in a deep voice: "At the moment, we have only one choice. That is to strengthen the defense of the city walls and make sure that nothing goes wrong. But the sea monster's attack was so fierce that even the Mage Guild couldn't muster enough strength. Unless there is a case in which the Association has sufficient weight to protect them. ”

Jialia looked at her deeply: "This involves the secret you just said, the true god favors, and the identity of the apostle of the gods is enough to shock the archmages and even the elder mages." ”

Elbrand frowned, "You mean to report this secret to the Mage Guild......?" I'm afraid I don't have this power, it's a secret that belongs to Eslena and Iluri. ”

"Elbran!" Eliel, who had been listening, couldn't help but say, "What's going on now? If the walls are gone, they'll die here! I think even Eslena and Iluri would approve of it if they woke up. ”

Galia nodded in agreement: "It's not a secret...... In the endless offensive, the power of the Mage Guild is being drastically depleted. We won't last long, and when that happens, we will have to choose between fleeing or dying.

I understand that this is a difficult decision. But they were so important, so important that the fate of everyone in Arabey City was at stake. The favor of one true God has the potential to save us all!"

Three rapid trumpets sounded in succession, alerting everyone guarding the walls - the enemy was coming.

"Elbrand, we're running out of time!"

Outside the tent, all the sisters gathered worriedly, waiting for a decision.

Albrand gritted his teeth and nodded slowly: "Miss Fisher, I'll leave everything to you." I immediately lead the sisters up the walls to buy you time!"

"It will be!" "Finally forgot to glance at the sleeping Hadiris, "Hadilys, please." ”

"Sisters, follow me to the wall!"

......

"Failed again......"

Fallen Lodir, the Temple of the Stars.

At the half-moon-shaped jade workbench, Hadilith held a rune cylinder in her hand, her face frustrated. The rune cylinder was close to the last few runes that were finished, and was only half-carved.

Esrena, who was patiently waiting on the side, whispered, "What's wrong? Hadiris, what's wrong?"

Lying across from the workbench with her cheeks in her hands, Eluri interjected, "This looks good, almost exactly like the one on the slate." ”

"It just looks the same. Hadilith inserted the rune column into the circular hole in the workbench, and picked up a graduated ring with three hands in the center: "This is called a star splitter, and on the ring is the azimuth scale of the sky." Three hands represent the cursor, one represents the horizon, one represents the position of the stars, and one represents the Lodir. The rune is actually a variant star map, and every shape and angle is subject to strict requirements. ”

"Look. Hadilis adjusted the angle of the spectrometer and compared it with the runes, and could faintly see a small part of the corners of the runes: "I just drew a line on the cylinder, but my hands still trembled, causing the angle to shift. This Gathering Rune is the core of all Rune Modules, without which the entire Star Whip would be ineffective. ”

"That's it?"

Iruli's eyes widened as she looked at the protruding strands of hair, "Oh my God, that's too much to ask, isn't it?"

"Don't be discouraged, Hadilis. Eslena laughed, "The failure was expected. But we can all see your progress clearly, from the first root to the current one, although six raw materials have been wasted. But your progress from failing the first rune to failing the penultimate rune is really amazing. ”

"yes, I feel comfortable when I say that. Iruli snapped her fingers and said excitedly, "At this rate of progress, two more will definitely succeed." ”
