Chapter 21—God Doesn't Allow It (I)

Glazer's words were no less than a lightweight atomic bomb exploding in Mu Yan's heart, and the mushroom cloud of billowing smoke made him not know how to react. Vertices are updated the fastest

He hesitated for a long time, his expression tangled as if he was constipated.

The old man seemed to be very satisfied with his shock, and smiled very wickedly: "Aren't you surprised?" Perhaps before answering this question, I need to explain to you how I came to Heru. ”

Mu Yan hurriedly sat upright and pricked up his ears.

This is also a question that he has not been able to figure out.

In the year 547 of the faith calendar, the other party has just become a legendary mage, and the entire Jialan Association is still standing behind him, who can move him?

"If I ask you, 'What is a legendary mage,' can you answer?" The old man asked him.

Mu Yan thought about it and shook his head. He originally had a vague answer, but after a series of changes caused him to come to Heru, his previous worldview was on the verge of collapse, and he began to hesitate.

So the old man spoke slowly.

"In Lokan, only after becoming a legendary mage can you completely control the surrounding elements, and only then can you break free from the shackles of the magic web. Simply put, it's about throwing away crutches and becoming a able-bodied human being who can run freely. Surely that's what your teacher told you, right? ”

He nodded.

But then he heard the old man mockingly.

"But God doesn't allow it."

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, knocking Mu Yan's heart.

"God won't allow it?" He repeated the phrase mechanically.

"Yes, God will not allow you to touch the elements."

Glazer's tone had never been so angry, and his fingers were trembling slightly.

Memories of the gods tumbled in Mu Yan's mind.

The pages of the already vague pages of myths and legends were twisted into powder in the air and completely dissipated.

Rowan, who had been full of order and light, was shattered by a lightning bolt that pierced the sky, and everything returned to the dead night.

Towers and edifices were razed to the ground in a roaring torrent of elements, the sea turned into mulberry fields, and all living beings were destroyed, and only the gods watched indifferently from the air.

He suddenly remembered Alduin's song of twilight.

"Ugly demons corrupt everything

"The age of despair began

"When the silent gods no longer hesitate

What believers hear from their lips is not the golden rule

"Rather, it roared in despair like a beast

"Ignorant mortals

"Begging for the indifferent gods

"Cry to the dark sky

"Listen to this song of twilight, the song of darkness and death, in sorrow"

For a moment he felt his breath shorten.

"It's hard to imagine." The old man paused deliberately, as if to give him time to digest.

"The moment I stepped into the realm of legends, I felt that the sky opened an invisible net, and all the elements of the world were under its control. But I was surrounded by elements of freedom, completely different from before, full of vitality, as if singing, cheering, cheering for a new life.

"There is no doubt that it is a magic web, a magic net controlled by the goddess Ikali. It connects all of Lokan's dead elements, and I use this to distinguish myself from the active elements around me. ”

Then the gods came to the door.

Mu Yan was shocked again.

He remembered that Shamu had mentioned in his letter that "Her Excellency Ikali had lost herself in trying to grasp all the power that Mia had left behind".

The old man laughed at himself, "Although Jialan has always been at odds with the Elemental Tower, to be honest, we have always regarded it as a competitor, and the reason is simple, every mage believes in the truth, firmly believes that he is an explorer of the long dark night, overcoming obstacles, groping his way, lighting a fire, and bringing the true meaning of the world back to the world. As for the believers who have been blessed by the gods, I don't think they deserve to be called 'mages'. I don't reject any kind of power, nor do I mean to mock, but I simply think that power cannot be water without roots and trees without roots. And I firmly believe that the so-called lord of the elements, and even the goddess Ikali, the hidden elemental controller, thinks so, so that the way of the mage, which is contrary to faith, can survive in the world.

"But it was clear that I was wrong, and the next moment I became a legendary mage, I was pulled into a world where there were only the elements.

"I saw a woman sitting on a throne, her hair like flowing blue flames, and her body covered in a splendid robe of vines, surrounded by an endless desert, and at her feet crawled a great giant, whose back was as thick as a mountain.

"Before I could recover from the shock, I heard her ask me, 'Mortal, are you willing to offer your absolute devotion to God's teachings.'"

"I didn't realize it was Ikali and I replied, 'I am faithful to the truth.'"

This sentence seemed to anger her, and I saw the giant huddled in a ball trembling, and the endless desert flowing like a tide, as if to show an uneasy heart. Then it all calmed down, and the other said, 'My name is Ikali, and I am the Lord of the Elements, that is, where the truth lies.'

"Then I found that a group of equally energetic elements were gathering around me, and they were chattering and chattering, as if they had just been reborn, and even I could understand the message they were conveying to me, and I was in a space full of their dead compatriots, who were thanking me for their new life.

"Then I understood that the other party was indeed Ikali as she said, but it was not a god at all, but a liar, an executioner, who killed the life of these elements and then controlled them with a magic web, and the legendary mage would give life to the elements, and the two were incompatible.

"With this in mind, I raised my head and told her in a loud voice with the divine might that was converging on all sides, 'A true mage will not bow down to someone who blasphemes the truth, especially if the other person is an executioner who claims to be the Lord of the Elements.'"

Then the sky tore apart, and the earth trembled, and the servant kneeling at her feet threw himself at me with his fist, and I was bound by the power of the gods, unable to dodge, but to watch as he shattered my body with a single punch, and then tore at my soul. At this moment, a huge pulling force came from nowhere, and before I could react, I was sucked into Heru and descended on the River Styx. You know the rest of the story. ”

After saying all this, the old man seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and although he was sweating profusely, his eyes were shining.

"That's all there is to the legend."

He breathed a sigh of relief and took another sip from his glass.

"As for the identity of the necromancer, I'm curious about what your teacher thinks of us heretics who are not tolerated by the world, can you tell me?"

Mu Yan's heart was unsettled, and it took a long time to notice the old man's problem.

"Uh...... In fact, he was. He scratched his head in embarrassment.

"What?" The old man was visibly stunned.

"He's a necromancer himself, so he raised his right hand, and his soul converged on his fingertips, instantly rising with a hint of green soul fire. "As you can see, so do I."

The flame swayed, and then turned into a streamer, and as soon as Mu Yan's mind moved, the light shot to the tree not far away, making a "snort" sound, and the branch broke into two with white gas.

"Then your elemental manipulation skills ......" Glazer seemed stunned by his corrosive spell, and said in some surprise, "Did he teach you anything other than the Zero Ring spell?" When did you come to Heru? ”

Mu Yan knew that the old man was surprised as to why he was able to adapt to Heru's surging element so quickly. But he couldn't answer that question.

From the first day he opened the Elemental Passage, he had not established the slightest connection with the Demon Web. Following the previous metaphor that casting spells is equivalent to making a phone call, he is a base station in itself, and he doesn't need to send a signal to the magic web, so he doesn't need it to build spells at all, and there is no delay.

So until the system disappeared, he had been enjoying "free and fast dialing". It's just that the spells that are released still use the models and structures in the textbooks.

Later, when he came to the Wind Firmament, the system was borrowed by Xia Mu, and he had to control the elements by himself in the Dream Arena, and even threw out many spells that were not fully formed, and over time he became accustomed to this way of fighting.

Then came Heru. The people here had never been exposed to magic webs since he was a child, they didn't know how to construct spells, and the lack of textbooks and 'formulas' created a very different fighting style and spell-casting characteristics for each wizard, and he quickly adapted to this.

In other popular terms, the difference between the two is that the casters are all craftsmen who knead clay people, and in Luokan, they have no right to use mud, they only need to learn how to make molds, and at critical times, apply for a batch of raw materials from the organization, and throw them into their own molds to make products.

But in Heru, there is fresh river mud everywhere, and you can use it as you want, and no one restricts it, but at the same time, there is no mold, and it is up to you to make it look like it. Fortunately, the people here have grown up in the mud since they were children, each of them is talented, talented, aesthetically pleasing and eclectic, and occasionally fighting for the mud, so the folk customs are fierce.

The very different environments created two very different spellcasters, but it was clear that Mu Yan didn't belong to either of them.
