Chapter 20: The Father and the Son II

Hearing this, Mu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Why did your strength recover?" ”

The old man smiled and took a sip of red wine, and after twenty minutes of decanting, the wine seemed to wake up from its slumber, the aroma was more vibrant, and the taste was more complex and round. Vertices are updated the fastest

"Can you guess who Ash's real father is?"

Hearing him ask like this, Mu Yan instinctively exaggerated.

"Could it be...... Is it Hablon? ”

Glazer nodded.

"That's right, Ash happens to be Hablon's child, and he has his blood in his veins, so his blood can break the shackles on me, and that's when I guessed that. Only in this way, his own power disappears, that is to say my freedom is at the expense of his future.

"He was so badly wounded that Hablon was so far behind that I had no time to treat him, so I had to freeze him, hide him aside, take him around in a circle, and take him around near the fog south of Hosdi, so that he could stop chasing him.

"Then I went back to Ash and brought him to this place, and I didn't thaw him until seven or eight years ago, so he looks about your age." The old man shook his head in shame. "Speaking of which, my control of the water element is still a little worse, if the hydrotherapy technique can be as good as yours, and he can be cured sooner, maybe there will be no follow-up incidents."

"But the 'hydrotherapy technique' is just a basic spell......," Mu Yan was a little surprised.

Glazer couldn't help but look at him with some confusion.

"Didn't you study at the comprehensive academy before you came to Heru?"

“…… Not really. ”

"Maybe your teacher is special, the differences caused by the huge differences between the two worlds can't be explained in a few words." He seemed reluctant to say this for the time being, and returned to the story, and his tone was embarrassed.

"Where to start, it seems like I was too late when I discovered his anomaly."

……

Ash had been frozen for over twenty years, during which time Glazer had been researching how to return the mage talent to him. However, the results were disappointing, and he was never able to understand what the word "talent" meant.

According to his understanding, this is an ability to be in harmony with the elements, like an identity, a nameplate, with this thing, the elements will listen to your command, if not, they will ignore you, this is in Heru. And in Lokan, this identity and nameplate give you permission to connect to the magic web.

He even tried to strip the "talent" from his own blood and give it to Ash, but unfortunately failed.

A legendary mage and veteran scholar who lived in this house for more than twenty years and studied it could not solve the problem, but he discovered a special technique.

Elemental fusion.

This is different from the simple process of "elemental matter is turned into a compound by reaction" in chemistry, which is more complex, deeper, more microscopic, but surprisingly more "intuitive".

In Glazer's words, this fusion was no match for Lokan's spells constructed with gestures and spells.

The latter is like building a house with four-color bricks, the elements are the basic bricks and tiles, although the whole makes up the house, but they are still scattered from each other. But "fusion" is not, as if the four-colored bricks are ground into dust, and then mixed into a seed, and after the seed is planted, a brand new house will grow, which is one and the elements are not separated from each other.

Even after the fusion of some special elements, ignorant spirituality will be generated, such as the "spirituality" on the previous three pieces of furniture.

Hence the name he gave it a fusion, rather than a simple compound.

Although he had mastered such a magical skill, it did not help Ash to recover his strength, so he had to unfreeze Ash, buy a potion from Hosdy to heal his injuries, and show him a showdown.

The old man told Ash about his true origins, and made him realize that his father was Hablon and that his mother was a lowly but great mother, but Ash scoffed at it.

"That lowly woman is just a vessel for me to descend into this world, as weak as she is not worthy to be my mother."

Ash's reaction was unexpected, and he reprimanded him harshly, but it was clear from the disdainful look on the other man's face that it had little effect.

"Maybe from that time I should have realized that this kid was a 'strengthist', he was bullied too badly by the Chao people when he was a child, and I was telling him to learn to forbear and lurk, but I didn't expect it to hurt him......" The old man sighed.

Later, he slowly told Ash of his origins, that he came from a completely different world called "Lokan", and that he had always carried the imprint on his body, and that it was the other party's bloodline from Hablon that helped him break the shackles, but also lost his powers.

"I told him that not everyone in Lokan could be favored by the elements, but everyone lived happily, and even the unarmed scholars could gain respect for their knowledge. Power doesn't mean everything, but ......" the old man sighed.

Ash's injuries were left untreated, leaving them with hidden dangers that would be difficult to eradicate, so he could not become a good fighter. At the same time, his elemental affinity is also declining day by day, gradually becoming inferior to ordinary people, and the magic power in his body is escaping little by little. Although he meditated with all his strength every day, trying to retain the passing magic, he could not avoid the result of his declining strength.

In this case, he learns his true identity and that his "adoptive father" is not a Heru, so his inferiority complex and despair that he has nowhere to vent slowly ferment into hatred and anger, and turn into a terrible demon that eats away at his reason.

Especially during that time, Glazer was immersed in the novelty of mastering the fusion of elements, and in order to make his children (in his mind Ash was already a son) happy, he would find ways to make interesting things every day: such as a broom, a big bag, and a pointed skull, which were born at that time. At the same time, the room was filled with all kinds of illusions, and Glazer showed all the good things he had seen in Lokan.

He just hopes that this will make Ash forget his troubles and face life with a more positive attitude, even if it is a mess. This is also what more than a hundred years of slavery has taught him.

But all this was a show-off in the eyes of the mentally twisted Ash, who even thought that the magical magic, the skills that gave life to the artifacts should have belonged to him.

"'You robbed me of everything! You damned outsider! He often said this after imprisoning me. The old man shrugged, as if telling someone else.

Mu Yan was silent, he couldn't comment on this sick twisted psychology.

"Coincidentally, when I was in the hot springs, he saw the brand on my back and asked me if I could get rid of it completely, and it looked like the color had faded. I told him that maybe it would dissipate on its own after a while.

This sentence seemed to poke him in the sore spot, he didn't say a word, and the movements of his hands slowed down.

The old man sighed, "Then I heard him repeat like a dream, 'It's like my magic will slowly dissipate,' and then suddenly stabbed me in the back with a dagger." ”

"You...... You can't get hit, right? Mu Yan was dumbfounded.

"What do you think? Am I going to guard against the children I've been raising for more than 40 years? On the day we escaped, he was the one who used his body to block attacks from all sides for me, so why should I defend against him? The old man smiled a little sadly. Then the story was cliché, it was just a trivial bruise, but when my blood touched his skin, the brand reactivated, and I lost my power, but the 'mage talent' didn't come back to him.

"I'm back to the old I look like today, so weak that I don't even have the strength to climb out of the pool. He panicked at first, but then gradually calmed down, seemed to convince himself, shouting 'this is what you owe me', 'I saved your life', and knocked me unconscious.

"Then, I was made a prisoner, and he took over the magic castle." The old man looked into the room, "It seems that he is very uncomfortable with all this, and he is not as comfortable as I was when I did. ”

After listening to the ins and outs, Mu Yan pondered for a while, and there was a huge mystery in his mind.

He described to the old man how he had intervened in the matter and how he had later broken Ash's plot, and the old man listened attentively and nodded frequently.

“…… So the question is, why would he know how to make a 'Soul Searching' scroll? Mu Yan wondered.

"It's simple," Glazer said with a smile. "Because I'm still a necromancer."

"Huh??"
