Chapter 225: Gui Luo and Magic
My name is Akatosh,
I don't think that's a horse drop.

"I'm so sorry! Ms. Guiro! Zag, go back to sleep! ”
"Hmm."
In the middle of the night, a tiger mage apprentice sneaked out of the apprentice's dormitory not far away, bumped into Gui Luo who was on the night watch with a lantern, hurriedly apologized and turned around and ran back.
Due to the increasing number of apprentices, mentors, and temporary residents of the Wintercastle Mage Academy, and their living habits are different, in order not to cause confusion, the Chief Mage stipulates that everyone must return to their dormitories after ten o'clock in the evening, but apparently the energetic mage apprentices will not take this rule seriously.
The Night Watch is manned by Lady Lalena, the Guardian of the Crown, Shub, the Librarian, and the newcomer, Lady Guiro, all of whom have a different range of strength, but one thing they all have in common is that they look fierce enough.
Are these mages sluggish to this point, though? Guiro looked at Zag's back and thought, they didn't realize that this place was sheltered by a Holy Spirit?
The "rift" that pulls itself to the mage academy is said to have been a teleportation spell that an apprentice named Zerapesh learned from the Order of Atayum and used the power of the Eye of Magnus to cast it.
Heh, even if her words are true, then what is the scene of Songgard that flashed during the teleportation process? Can a common mage cast a teleportation spell in Shure's realm?
Moreover, based on the questioning of Nafi, Ruida, and some others in the past two days, combined with his own experience, Gui Luo could judge that all of these people were rescued back to the Mage Academy under the condition of "certain death".
And there is only one existence who can do these things, and his position is biased towards the Mage Academy.
The patron of the mage, the god of wisdom and logic, the Holy Spirit Julianos.
——22:26——
"Good evening, Ms. Guiro." "Good evening, Lady Lalena."
After handing over the lantern to Lady Larina, the former Guardian of the Crown of Winterhold, Guiro took a break in the library of the Arcane Hall in Shub, the old orc.
Even though it is a night watch, it will end at midnight, and if anyone still wants to go on a night tour after two hours in a daze in the dormitory, they can only go with him.
Perhaps it was easy to recall the past in a quiet atmosphere, Gui Luo casually flipped through the books stacked on the table, and his thoughts drifted to Wind Helmet City, if nothing else, Gui Luo, the director of the orphanage in the Hall of Glory, would be judged dead, and he didn't know how his younger brother would react when he heard the news.
Güro Lone Wind, is her full name, the Lone Wind family used to be the largest family in Wind Helmet City, but most of the family's elites fell at a meteor-like rate after they were killed in the battle with Somo, and now there is only one "Captain Lone Wind" who struggles to survive in the cracks of the Cool Sea family's control, and a "Kind Guiro" who can't refuse even the requests of a small family like Aretino.
Guiluo was not interested in what agreement had been reached between the Aretino family and the Black Thorn family, and it was not a trouble to make up an accidental death report of an orphan, it was nothing more than an excuse for them to embezzle their family property, but they didn't expect those guys to even kill such a trivial matter, and it was really a short-sighted small family that couldn't get on the table.
The reason why the Holy Spirit would choose to take refuge in the event of her assassination was probably a guess or two, most likely because of the magic she had.
Years ago, when the Lone Wind family was not so embarrassed, Gui Luo used to take the family's merchant ship between Skyrim and Morrowind to visit the scenery, although Morrowind Province had little to show due to the volcanic eruption, she was coincidentally accepted as an apprentice by a strange mage who lived in a huge mushroom house.
Although he has a variety of conventional spells, the mage is more keen on improving and innovating spells, and since the island he lives on is completely covered in volcanic ash, he has created a similar set of "ash" magic compared to traditional flames, lightning and frost, such as summoning "ash guards" made of rocks, "ash arrows" that can immobilize people when hit, and even an evil spell that transforms living people or corpses into "ash monsters". However, the spell was quickly destroyed by himself, and all information was destroyed to ensure that it would not be exploited by others.
The mage was so fanatical about ash spells that he didn't plan to use ordinary magic at all, instead starting to create custom staffs that could store all kinds of magic and release it as needed, and Gui Luo, who had been involved in the whole process, had to admit that the mentor was a genius.
However, like all geniuses, the mentor eventually embarked on the forbidden path, successfully using ash magic to create a "counter-summoning door" to the realm of the demon god, and after arranging the affairs of the mage tower as if it were the aftermath, he stepped through the door without hesitation under the worried eyes of his apprentices, and never returned.
After the mage entered the gate, it was evident from the various words and speculations from the reserved means of communication that he had passed through at least six demon god realms, and although some of the annihilation realms were very dangerous, he was still able to successfully escape.
Before falling completely silent, the mage seemed to arrive in a realm of annihilation filled with books, and the final whisper came from him, "So much knowledge...... I have to go and exchange ......", it is clear that in this annihilation, which can be escaped at any time, he has used everything he has in exchange for unknown knowledge, so that now Guiluo can't remember his name at all.
After that, of course, the clichéd apprentices turned against each other and fought for the teacher's inheritance, and Guiluo, who was completely uninterested in those things, returned to Skyrim Province on a merchant ship, and then the great war between the Empire and Somo, and the decline of the Lone Wind family.
This Holy Spirit is probably not interested in the struggle for power among the nobles, but she cares a lot about the inheritance of magic, if nothing else, none of the fools who robbed the teacher's inheritance inherited his research on magic, so she is the only one in this world who still masters the "ash magic".
However, according to the teacher's rigorous style, a conclusion must be supported by a lot of evidence, if you want to prove that this Holy Spirit really wants to maintain the inheritance of magic, you have to ask those others who were rescued in the same situation, but I have only been in the mage academy for less than two days, although I am in charge of the night watch, but it is still far from being trusted by most people, if you want to obtain information without a trace, I am afraid it will be difficult, unless-
Airplanes...... A faint beep rang in her ears, and Gui Luo stood up, drawing a glare from the orc administrator Urag Shub behind the library counter, but she didn't pay any attention.
There is no doubt that this is the sound of the "crack" closing, and the incarnation of the Holy Spirit has brought someone again, and if it is not easy for someone with seniority to ask about it, then a newcomer who is also confused about the situation will definitely open his mouth without vigilance.
Guiro picked up a new lantern, kept a calm face and pushed open the door of the library to the rooftop, and walked up steadily, not surprisingly seeing the incarnation of the Holy Spirit Julianos, the Nord girl who called herself Zerapes, although it was only for a moment, but Guiro could be sure that she saw the look on Zela's face like a saint.
However, since the Holy Spirit is reluctant to reveal his identity, she doesn't mind accompanying her to act.
"You've rescued people again? How many are there this time? Gui Luo approached the vanishing crack with the lamp, and there was a young woman with a blank face who seemed to wonder if she was dead, and looked like an ordinary merchant.
It's no wonder that she is the same, when the boxer had just disappeared, she was about to go to the window to observe, but she felt the sharpness and coldness of the rapid approach from behind, and the next moment she appeared in the square of the mage academy.
The Reda and Nafi siblings, who had talked a little, seemed to come here in different ways, but they were also in a certain death situation, so if there was a chance, Zela would show up to talk beforehand and act in a reasonable way, and if the situation was urgent, they would directly teleport people away.
"There's only one, I'm obviously just teleporting to the jewelry shop in Marcas City to pick up the leak, who knows how Wei Lin did it." Zela looked unhappy.
Even know the name of the murderer and say that he passed by? Her phrase of "teleportation based on magical items" also deceived the unskilled apprentices, at least Tovdil was kind every time he heard the excuse.
"You go and rest, I'll settle this girl." Gui Luo approached the two of them, and raised the oil lamp slightly to let the newcomer see his face, and the result was not surprising, it was obviously the face of a vicious old lady who could scare a crying child, and the woman who was very disturbed was strangely relieved when she saw it.
"Oh, then please, I'll go 'sleep'." Zela waved her hand, cast a slow-fall spell on herself, and jumped straight from the top floor of the Arcane Hall Library.
The rescued woman looked startled, but her expression seemed more relieved when she saw Zela's slowly falling figure, which more or less confirmed Guiluo's suspicions.
"You're here, no doubt because you're dying and have some kind of magical ability," Gui Luo turned and beckoned her to follow, "Tell me, what kind of abilities do you have?" And why would anyone want to kill you? ”
"My name is Margaret, and the person who is going to kill me, Wellin, is a miner friend of mine," the woman who identified herself as Margaret said in a very low tone, but had no doubts about Guiro's questioning, "If the reason is ...... Probably because I dug up the iron ore that he dug up and then into gold......"
"Oh, stupid oathbreaker." Gui Luo sneered.
Margaret nodded silently.
According to the Mentor who disappeared into annihilation, the spell "Iron to Gold" is extremely rare, not only is it very rare for people to master, but even if it appears occasionally, it will be murdered and snatched by ignorant ordinary people as if they possessed some kind of magical alchemy item, after all, this effect is too close to alchemy that anyone can use.
Sure enough, Gui Luo thought as he walked, if the "ash magic" he mastered could be regarded as "earth magic", then "turning iron into gold" could be regarded as "gold magic", and it seemed that the god of wisdom and logic intended to fill in the magic system with only "ice, fire, and electricity", and he was a participant in this major event...... Just thinking about it, I was a little excited for a long time.
Guiro glanced at Zela, who was stretching her waist towards the apprentice's quarters in the Academy Square, and pushed open the door to the Arcane Hall.
