Chapter 42: Vault V

There was a long silence before Lina spoke again. At the apex, she noticed that her voice was a little dry.

"That'...... What will happen in the future? ”

"Later? In the future, there are only two results, either the donkey realizes that it is time to move, runs hard with his hooves, and one day breaks out of this haze. Or......" Mu Yan pouted, "it is disgusted, and tries to escape from here by all means, because there is always a whip to whip itself." Of course, the two 'leaving' don't mean the same thing. ”

"You're saying that if the suction of the enchantment is too big for the Jialan mages to accept one day, they'll leave here?"

"Perhaps, even ...... They will do everything they can to destroy this enchantment, and they will do whatever it takes to ......" Mu Yan touched the transparent enchantment under his feet, and no longer smiled.

"I don't know if they thought about it when they dismantled it, who created it, and what it was for...... I can't imagine them destroying it and laughing and venting their resentment...... I'm afraid I can't help but give up on everyone because of this ugliness.

"I could see the names inscribed on it, Willem Gloca, Bellaev Manny, Adrian Carter, Alpha Meson Young, Fred Alain, Landzel......

"Whether it's the death in the Black Thorn Forest, or the white-robed mage who disappeared when he was about to arrive at the legend. They all left their names on the barrier. I think they must have been laughing, touching their long white beards and laughing out loud. They deserve this pride, after all, they have successfully deceived the Elemental Lord, blocking the magic net with true magic, giving the elementals a chance to return to the hands of humans......

"I think they must have seen the light of the elements shining in the Blue City, the light of freedom, the dignity, the indomitable will. Under the shadow of humanity's own creation, the mages of Jialan do not have to be as fearful as they are, like lowly thieves, walking in the darkness and studying their own power behind their backs......

"But...... They were wrong. Mu Yan sighed, stood up, and muttered: "They are wrong, the most terrible enemy of human beings is not gods, not alien races, not mountain floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, thunder, people's hearts, and their own greed.

"Whether they are mages or nobles, they are no different from livestock, and when they see the sweetness, they can't help but stick their heads in, but they don't know that they have ropes around their necks, and they can only be led by others. They gave up the 'freedom' and 'future' that the sages had earned, and waved their dignity and faith in exchange for worthless 'power'......"

Mu Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, as if he didn't want to say any more.

Lina stared at him blankly, her mouth open, not knowing what to say.

Although there was too much that the other party said that she couldn't understand, she could empathize with the sadness and helplessness.

This resonance comes more from the word "freedom". She had been pursuing the true meaning of these two words since the turmoil of Morningstar a year ago, and then met Lorov, in whom she saw a freer form of magic, the true caster, and now she was at a loss for what to do with the power of the magic web.

"Sorry, that's too much nonsense." Mu Yan habitually patted his head.

He suddenly felt that he was getting older and older, of course, he was only 20 years old, but he was always worried about things that affected at least one city, the greatest country, and even the whole of mankind...... That's not good.

"The moment Miss Lina tried to cast the spell just now, I didn't perceive your prayer to the magic web, in other words, you seemed to be an element directly dispatched from your side...... Is that right? ”

Lina's expression froze, and a scroll instantly appeared in her hand.

This is her biggest secret, second only to her true identity, but she was told so easily by the other party.

She hadn't torn it up yet, but Mu Yan's eyelids jumped, Amacer's woman's temper was really big......

Looking at this color, it should be the five-ring scroll meteor shower, which is the thing that grabbed that huge amount of experience for him in Imotru back then. The most important feature of this spell is its versatility, it can be used as a large-area spell, and the average strength per unit area is only four rings. But now it's such a small space...... He was probably going to be smashed into pieces by a meteorite.

"Don't get me wrong, I mean...... We are one kind. ”

As he spoke, Mu Yan was surrounded by a ball of light condensed by the three elements of red, blue, and purple, and the irritable elements were stirring in it, but they were well restrained and stabilized into a ball, and this wonderful scene made Lina put away her doubts.

"You too...... Wait, you know Lorov? ”

"Lorov?" Mu Yan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that guy to have also come to Jialan, and even knew Idriel.

"I do know him, but it doesn't have anything to do with what I'm going to say next." Mu Yan said: "You may have noticed that there is a distinction between 'life' and 'death' in the elements, but for most mages, this can only be achieved in Fa Lan City, in the area shrouded in this enchantment, or the skill of 'opening'. But as long as you leave the shadow of the barrier, you will be shackled by the magic net again, and no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to freely manipulate the elements.

"That's what magic should be."

The elemental balls surrounded Mu Yan, merging and changing with each other, and the colors also switched back and forth, almost all the elemental types were presented in front of Lina, and she didn't notice the connection between the other party and the magic net during the whole process.

"That's the point I want to make, the cage is not an enchantment, but an endless magic net above the head, on the contrary, the enchantment is the last refuge, with it, Falan City can be called a holy place. But if this trend continues, one day people will abandon their shelters and embrace cages......

"That's what you want to know about 'later.'"

When the words fell, Lina also fell into a long thought, and did not speak for a long time.

What she was exposed to today was too shocking for her, but it was perfectly connected with her experiences and past thoughts, and she was a little confused.

The truth is always hard to accept, and the process of pursuing the truth is a process of constantly convincing oneself and suggesting it to most people, and she does need time now.

"What are you talking about...... Why have I never heard from Principal William, and doesn't he know? Also, where did all the names you mentioned before? Lina asked.

"Headmaster William, he may know later, and I have no doubt that he will be one of those names." Mu Yan said: "The enchantment is not permanent, it needs to be maintained by everyone who knows the truth. And those people happened to step into the threshold of the legend, but after the legend ......"

"What's after the legend?"

Lina was a little anxious, and she suddenly remembered her father, who had little communication with her.

Mu Yan glanced at her and felt that it was better not to poke the old man out now.

"We'll talk about that later, it's too early for you, Miss Lina."

"But ......"

"It's time to leave, Miss Lina, and when you can control the elements as freely as I do, maybe I'll consider telling you."

Mu Yan snapped his fingers, and the two reappeared at the door of the secret law hall.

Lina wanted to say something, but Mu Yan had already stepped into a portal and left.

"Goodbye~"

Before leaving, she saw the other party's mouth and said.
