Chapter 174: The demeanor of a peerless master
"And then? Did you stop it?" It was not Yang Fan who asked the question, but the little girl Tao Duxue, who was also listening attentively on the side, the little girl Tao Duxue blinked her big eyes and flickered, and she urged Li Huaixin to continue talking.
And the maid also put her mind on Li Huaixin's secrets at this time, fortunately, these stories are recorded in some ancient books, and ordinary people are too lazy to read them, and it is not a secret that cannot be easily revealed.
Li Huaixin continued unhurriedly: "Ruiz wants to move with emotion and reason, but the mentor is already like a stone. This man is no longer the model of life with infinite wisdom that he has admired since childhood.
His mind was already flawed, and he could be tempted as much as he called a fool. The runes had corrupted him deeply, and he was destined to use them again and again, eating away at the whole world again and again, little by little.
Ruiz must do it, even if it is to destroy his only true friend. He used all the arcane energy at his disposal to strike at his mentor.
The Mentor reached out to pick up the runes, refusing to give up their power even if he died. As he reached out, the corrupted mage was defenseless against Ryze's attack. Within moments, Tyrus was transformed into a corpse, lying on the floor with embers. Reyes was terrified and trembling, his mind struggling to figure out what he had just done. When he turned around, he found that he was accompanied only by the runes of the world, and their flashes seemed to invite him to claim them for himself.
Reze plucked up his courage and picked up the two strange-shaped runes one by one, and he immediately felt himself being transformed into something more powerful, or rather terrifying, that he could never achieve.
Since that day, Ruiz has been wandering, and the mysterious voice has been guiding him, guiding and intimidating him.
Reze resisted the power that each rune promised him at all times, choosing to seal the runes in a hidden location, ensuring that no one could use them.
For hundreds of years, Ruiz has been on this mission, while the magical power he absorbs distorts and lengthens his lifespan. Despite the vicissitudes of time, Ruiz never dared to slack off. Because in recent years, the world runes have begun to reappear in the world, and the world has forgotten the price required to use the power of runes. ”
After listening to the story, the little girl Tao Duxue looked fascinated, as if she was relying on her own imagination to continue to make up this story at this time, Yang Fan nodded, knowing in his heart, sure enough, it was not much different from the background of the wandering mage Ruiz in the alliance.
Li Huaixin pondered for a moment and then said: "Actually, when it comes to the oldest mage with the real qualifications, there is still one more to count, but this great god and dragon have not seen the end, it seems that he has only appeared in the history books, but those who are proficient in that period of history know that this great god does exist."
Yang Fan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Say it quickly, don't hang my appetite."
Li Huaixin shook his head angrily, and continued helplessly: "In the ruined land of Ertistan, there used to be a magnificent city, which was wiped out in a terrible rune war a long time ago, just like most of the landmasses under the magnificent barrier. Still, one survived: a magician named Kieran. For a time-obsessed man like him, living in the city's clock tower is the perfect fit.
As the flames of destruction threaten to reach his homeland, Kieran uses powerful instant magic to conduct an experiment to predict future possibilities in the hope of finding a peaceful solution.
However, Kieran's magic affected his perception of the passage of time, and Kiran was in a meditative stillness when Ertystan was attacked by a phalanx of unidentified summoned Black Knights.
By the time he realizes his mistake, Eltistan has turned into a smoldering ruin.
The summoners who brought ruin to Ertistan left the clock tower unscathed, both to avoid attracting Kieran's attention and to expose Kieran to the sin of negligence.
Barely had time to grieve over his great loss before he learned that his dangerous research had a brutal side effect: the Slow Time Disorder. This incredible illness gave him immortality, but it also separated his consciousness from the time it was currently in. Now he is mentally floating in time, from any point in time he has experienced to the present, but he cannot influence the future.
The most painful part of this curse is that Kiran immerses himself in the past of Ertistan and spends the rest of his time in the bleak ruins of Ertistan. It is said that only powerful summoning magic can cure this disease, so Kiran joins the Ancient Alliance in the hope of finding a cure and then a way to save his people. ”
After listening to it, Yang Fan muttered in an angry whisper: "Stinky old man, his ability is not small after all, but no matter how obscene he looks, there is no one at all."
Li Huaixin asked suspiciously, "Huh?" What did you say? What a stinky old man?"
Yang Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, hehe."
Li Huaixin didn't take it seriously, anyway, I've known each other for so long, Yang Fan has always been this neurotic, and it's normal to have occasional convulsions, so I don't care too much.
Yang Fan pondered in his heart: "Although I already know about these insider stories, but when I hear it like this, I still feel that the stinky old man's cheap master is simply bullish, but how can he look not very smart, and there are some little obscenities, tsk, could it be that the masters are all this hermit master who picks his feet?"
Then Yang Fan suddenly thought of a certain suave green-shirted sword saint, and quickly dispelled this idea, alas, sure enough, only his own master is this obscene appearance.
The little girl Tao Duxue said puzzledly: "Brother Li, Brother Li, but you said so much and didn't say how powerful he was, just said that it was called ...... Kieran's people have a strange disease, and it doesn't sound like a big deal. ”
Li Huaixin shook his head and said: "This unique strange disease is a double-edged sword, in addition to making this great mage distressed, it also gives him great strength, this power belongs to the scope of magic, but the power and power have long exceeded the level of existing magic.
Because the magical elements that this great mage could master were not ordinary elements, but two shocking magical elements of time and space. ”
