Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Three Laws of Magic

"The Three Laws of Magic?" Robin nodded earnestly, ready to await Raven's explanation.

"If you want to understand the nature of magic and how to control it, you have to understand the basis of magic, the Three Laws of Magic." When Raven said this, he changed his drunken demeanor, and his whole person became serious.

"What I'm about to say is from a long, long time ago, when no one knew how magic was born, and I hope it will be passed on forever, forever, or until the day when magic will destroy the world."

Raven's gaze is far-sighted and vicissitudes.

Robin didn't understand what was in her eyes.

Maybe it's the history of magic, maybe it's Raven's own experience.

No one can know.

"The discovery of the Three Laws of Magic was not accidental, nor was it something that one or two people could do. If we really want to go back to the source," Raven glared, "then we have to thank Yeda Attiya, the greatest magician in the history of vampires. ”

"Huh," Robin looked at Raven puzzled, "why a vampire, because this vampire mage is powerful?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Raven let out a barrage of laughter.

"It's not so much that she's awesome, it's that she's crazy. And live long enough. ”

Raven retracted his smile and took a sip of the flask from his coat pocket.

"In the history of mankind, vampires seem to have existed for a long time, and only after that there were three kingdoms." Raven blinked and thought for a moment, "Well, it seems like that. ”

"What do you mean it seems to be ......" Robin rarely saw her serious once, and the result was still so unreliable.

"After all, we were born later, so you can't know the original history." Raven pursed his lips disdainfully, "Unless we can go to the Blood Rose Castle of the Holy Blood Empire one day, it should be recorded in their royal library." ”

“……”

Robin held his forehead helplessly.

"You'd better move on to the mage named Yada."

"Oh, yes. It's all because you interjected, so I can't even remember where I talked about it. ”

Raven glanced at Robin dissatisfied.

Hey, who's doing it?

Robin couldn't help but feel a little helpless frustration when he met such a mentor.

"This is a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation by the mages, because Yeda appeared a long, long time ago, before the Three Kingdoms were born. There were no laws of magic at the time.

Maybe this mage named Yada has lived long enough and lost the meaning of life, so she starts tossing some strange things. ”

"Like trying to change your body." Raven took a sip of wine, flushing slightly.

"She tried to use magic to make herself less like a vampire."

Raven paused.

Or rather, she didn't know what she was going to become. In short, she made herself very strange.

To be precise, she didn't look like a human.

Her body swam through the gap between nothingness and reality, and a black mist spread throughout her body. At some point, her shadow looked like a terrifying wriggling monster.

In the morning and evening, she couldn't control her own body. ”

Raven's face turned terrified.

"Eventually, a terrible thing happened, Yeda went completely insane, she thought she had mastered the power of the gods, so she decided to resurrect the vampires who had died in the war."

"She succeeded, and a group of skeletons and necromancers, under her leadership, invaded the entire Holy Blood Empire."

Raven pursed his lips, "That's the origin of the world's first necromancer. ”

"And then?" Robin asked.

"Then, the mages of the Holy Blood Empire are ready to send assassins to snipe her."

Raven said this, a playful smile on his face.

"However, what is unexpected is that when the best assassin of the Holy Blood Empire arrived at Yeda's camp by sneaking and was about to kill her, he found an extremely shocking scene-

Jeda's body became twisted, magic was devouring her life, the source of magic she once had, and the undead who had been in her possession, had finally become the culprits of her murder, and in the presence of the great assassin, a swirl of light rolled up in the void, tearing Yeda apart and engulfing her, and all the undead had lost the support of magic and turned to dust. ”

"No one can explain why, and it wasn't until later that people remembered the past due to the backlash caused by the various uses of magic, or when the mage died from his own magic."

Raven said this, pausing slightly, and straightening his expression.

"After the baptism of time, the mages of the Holy Blood Empire have summed up a law, and it is also the law that lays the foundation of the entire magic, and it is the only law of magic until the birth of the oracle of Sekoride more than three hundred years ago."

Robin looked nervously at Raven, waiting for her words to follow.

"That's the first law of magic – magic always has a price."

Raven said.

"Magic always comes at a price......"

Robin frowned.

He had heard this many times, and before Sirius Viven appeared, Jessie had told him about it.

But it didn't occur to him that this was one of the three laws of magic.

"It is precisely because magic always has a price that mages cannot destroy the world at will." Revane continued, "If Yada is going to summon the dead, then the price she pays is to bury herself.

If you want to change yourself, you have to make sacrifices.

The previous mages didn't realize this because they hadn't realized the high price.

In fact, even if we release a small fireball, it is at the cost of the magic ability we have accumulated, as well as the fire element that exists in the world. ”

Raven craned his neck and dripped the last drop of wine into his mouth.

She smacked her mouth, tightened the cap, and tucked the bottle into her pocket.

"So, the more high-level powerful magic is, the greater the price to pay." Raven said secretly, "Especially magic that costs one's life has more power. ”

"After Yeda's death, quite a few people tried. So dark mages and necromancers also have their own evil beliefs that are independent of the god of life. Raven's brow furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something terrible, "Until you figure it out, it's best not to touch those evil things." ”

I have to be able to reach it.

However, Robin looked at Kaye beside him and couldn't help but wonder if maybe he had already used it once.

The kind of forbidden magic that involves life and death, at the cost of life.

"So what are the remaining two laws?" Robin asked.

"No more." Raven looked at the setting sun and held his cheeks, which were a little hot, "That's all for today, after class." ”

“……”

This damn rotten drunkard.
