Chapter 5: Zet, the Divine Wolf
Somewhere in the bushes on the outskirts of Crossbell, the boy was struggling to walk.
The scythe slashes through the bushes, the spray disperses poisonous insects, and the glittering cold of the sword in his hand scares away the beasts.
The purpose of the boy is not to find people or treasures in this mountain, and the purpose of leaving the avenue is not to find excitement, but-
Lost.
Heliga was very depressed, and after setting out in the morning, he came to this forest. He thought to himself that going directly through the forest seemed to be able to get out of Kezhou faster than the Great Dao, but he didn't realize that he was actually lost in this forest.
Fortunately, although it was getting late, the boy eventually found a way out of the forest. Looking through the layers of trees and looking at the outline of the avenue looming in the distance, Helriga felt like crying.
"Let's rest around here today...... "Heliga thought to herself, and she didn't dare to look at the map and think she was familiar with her surroundings. Be sure to have a thorough plan.
After picking some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, Helriga barely cooked a pot of soupβ
"Phew, it's still unpalatable." I have learned the skills of survival in the wild, but I have learned this dish very hard, but I have never made food that can be eaten normally.
Barely filling her stomach, Helliga began to look for a suitable tree on which she could spend the night. However, as he looked around, he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him.
It was a pair of eyes full of spirit, but when he saw the appearance of the owner of the eye, Heliga was very vigilant, and he made an angry look with a knife in his hand, trying to scare it away.
A graceful wolf-like beast approached slowly. It ignored Heliga's threats, but instead had something in its mouth, and a whimper came out of its throat, as if pleading for something.
"That's ......" Helriga took a closer look, it was a little wolf cub, but the breath of life was extremely weak, and there were scorched black marks on its body, which seemed to be done by a demonic beast with fire attribute in the forest.
When he was still a dozen steps away from Heliga, the wolf stopped, whimpering in his throat, put the wolf down, and then slowly retreated, retreating to a distance that would surely be detected by Heliga if he launched a sneak attack.
"It's ...... Let me save his child? Realizing that the wolf in front of him was not hostile, Heliga put down his knife, he hadn't heard of some beasts and monsters that were human and knew basic human rules, but it was the first time he had encountered them in person.
"Even so, I'm ......" Helliga scratched her head and checked the wolf. Sure enough, severe burns, especially abdominal injuries, and it looks like he is dying, "I'm not a miracle doctor, and I don't have the skills to rejuvenate my hands......
Just as such a thought was taking shape in Heiliga's mind, the feeling of being in the cafΓ© explosion hit again, countless runes rushed in his head, and a soft light light was emitted in his hand, which quickly enveloped the little wolf's whole body!
The charred skin is falling off little by little, the inflamed rotten flesh is withering little by little, and the new group is reborn at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a minute, the wolf cub looked no different from a healthy wolf.
ββ¦β¦ This is ......" Looking at the scene in front of him, the young man was powerless to complain, "It's this strange power again, is this also a "critical moment"? β
Helliga was confused, but the adult she-wolf acted. It walked up to the wolf, arched its mouth, and looked at Heliga again with a look of gratitude.
"Forget it, don't dwell on this." Helliga didn't pay attention to the she-wolf's movements, but looked at the fire that she had not taken care of just now and was gradually extinguishing, "If only this ability could be used casually, at least it would not be necessary to make a fire...... ......"
Looking at the fire in his hand that followed his thoughts, Heliga didn't know what to say.
"Wait!" Filled with a spirit, Heliga finally discovered, "Could it be that I can use those strange powers at will now......
Ice crystals, flames, thunder, magic light. As a series of strange abilities that he could only occasionally use in times of crisis jumped between his fingers, Heliga realized that he now seemed to have broken the limit of "critical moments" to use this power.
"Woo~" The she-wolf's soft howl interrupted the young man's thoughts, and Heliga looked at the she-wolf's eyes, which were clearly the eyes of humans when they issued a sincere invitation. After that, regardless of the stunned Heliga, the she-wolf picked up the little wolf and walked in a certain direction.
After a short period of thought, the curiosity about the truth still overshadowed the last bit of vigilance in the boy's heart. The ability to use this strange power of his own is not because of the mother and son of the wolf clan, but for some other reason. And my intuition tells me that by following it, I can get closer to the truth I want.

"Professor Falauda, ask a question." In the Hall of Achievement at the Winterhold Academy of Magic, Falauda, a professor of the Department of Destruction, is answering a freshman's questions. This freshman has not been in the college for a long time, but his positive attitude towards learning has won the praise of many professors.
"Professor Urag told me in his textbook that the power of the magic we use originates from the Light Realm?"
"Yes, Bernardo." Falauda nodded, "All the magical power in this world comes from 'light', and the biggest source of 'light' is the thing we see above our heads every day. β
ββ¦β¦ Sun? Bernardo asked, uncertain.
"Yes, the sun." Professor Falauda looked at the confused student, and patiently explained: "Magnus, the legendary creator god, found out that he had been deceived by Rock Khan after the creation of the world, so he fled back to the light realm where the Holy Spirit was, and some other gods with weaker strength also fled back. The big hole Magnus knocked out was the sun, and the passage for the ordinary gods to go back was a sky full of stars.
"And the magic we create is essentially the interpretation and processing of these lights, so that they exhibit different properties."
"So, not only Nair, but other worlds have similar "magic", right?"
"If it exists." Professor Falauda nodded, "But theoretically, there is no limit to time and space in the realm of light, and the energy can also be said to be infinite. In terms of the energy of the light world, it is okay to hold up any form of mortal world. The eight gods led by Acre created Nain, so naturally there may be other gods who create their own worlds...... For example, the "Demon Gods". β
"Demon gods," Bernardo continued......, "I have read in the Book of Demons that there are sixteen demon gods outside of the planet Nairn, each with their own world, called the Realm of Annihilation. β
"Those sixteen are just a few of all the demon gods. In fact, there are many more demon gods, but they have never touched Nairn, so we don't know. Also, it's not that "the demon god has the domain", but that "the demon god is the domain" ah......"
"Yes, Professor. So, according to this theory, as long as any world that draws energy from the light world, the magic we learn in this world can be used casually? β
"That's true in theory, but I don't think you'd want to try to "go to another world," would you...... It's not like you haven't heard the story of the soothsayer Duran. β
"Hehe, it's scary." Remembering the story about the "shell mound" under the academy, the boy felt uncomfortable.
"That's all for today." Professor Falauda looked at his watch, "Tomorrow I will hand in a paper on the rapid drive and stable output of the "Fire Rune", and show it on the spot. Don't let your quest for the mysteries of the world delay your students' mission. β
"Yes, Professor." Bernardo bowed lightly and exited Professor Falauda's office.

When she followed the she-wolf all the way and finally reached an unknown cave in the deep forest, the she-wolf changed her normal behavior and lay on the ground, facing the cave as if she was very afraid and did not dare to take another step.
"Who's in there?" Heliga didn't rush in, but asked aloud at the entrance of the cave. He had a hunch that there must be a very powerful presence in the cave.
"Don't be alarmed, the human body, the soul of Duva...... Thou shalt breath makes me miss my fellow man, and has no other meaning. β
The being inside made a soundβa voice that sounded more directly in one's own head than from a hole. And with the voice remembering, with the appearance of the word "Duwa"β
Familiar and unfamiliar images came over and over again like projections, only this time more intense than ever.
The young man with an unbearable headache seemed to feel that the picture in front of him was blurry for a while......
Fell down.
Therefore, the last words of the being in the cave were not heard:
"My name is 'Cait', and I am the ancestor of the wolf clan who has lived here for generations......"
P.S: The inserted paragraph indicates the premise of the book, that all the magic in Lao Roll 5 comes from the power of the light world, and in Semulia, these powers are all converted into the power of the Seven Rays, which the Goddess of the Sky wants to do, and the protagonist has not yet learned to use the power of the Seven Stars, and his memory is missing. Therefore, it is not possible to use magic normally. But the place where the divine wolf is located is the place where the Qiyao spirit veins gather, and the energy is extremely abundant, so ...... Well
