Chapter Thirty-Five: A Pleasant Magic Lesson
No one knows when the Celestial Realm existed and how it came into being, but according to incomplete historical records, the Celestial Realm had a period of highly developed magical civilization in ancient times.
Before the reign of the Dragon Blaster Bakar, more than 1,000 years ago, the Celestial Realm and the continent of Arad were connected to each other through a "city in the sky", through which both sides could travel back and forth and exchange information and culture.
But this peaceful situation was completely changed by the arrival of Bakar. After the Demon Dragon War, the defeated Bakar led his men to flee to the Celestial Realm through the Silent City, which was also the first time that the Demon Realm discovered the existence of the Celestial Realm. After Bakar conquered the Celestial Realm, in order to consolidate his dictatorship, he ordered the communication between the two places to be blocked, and used powerful magic to create warriors of light to guard the city in the sky. In addition, in order to weaken the resistance of the Celestials, Bakar also issued a "ban on magic", prohibiting all research and use of magic. In order to survive, the Celestials had to secretly conduct various experiments, and finally, they discovered the power of machinery, and began to use it in various fields of reality. In this way, the mechanical civilization gradually developed and expanded......
After the end of the Dark Ages under Bakar's rule, the Celestials, who had finally gained their freedom through the mechanical revolution, created their own empire, the Seventh Empire. They built a new royal palace on the site of Bakar's palace in the middle of Ispen, heralding the beginning of a new era.
In the lawless zone where force reigns supreme, Kahlert is the most powerful armed group.
Although the entire team consists of "Eyes of the Dawn" Anzu. Seifer was in charge, but he never appeared in public.
Twenty-six years ago, Khahlert unified all the forces in the Impossible Zone, and began to extend his claws to the imperial capital, intending to occupy the divine capital of Ghent.
In this regard, the imperial capital will naturally not compromise easily.
Sand Shadow Bellit, who now lives in Ghent, the capital of the gods, was once a member of the group.
Before the Dragon War, the Celestials were the sole rulers of Sky City and the Celestial Realm, and their tall stature and slender limbs set them apart. The early Celestials also had the power of magic, and the Celestial Realm was once a thriving ancient magical kingdom. However, due to the new ruler of the dragon king Bakar's ban on magic, the magic age of the celestial realm gradually became history, and the former ancient magic kingdom declined and was replaced by a secretly developed mechanical civilization.
Because Bakar blocked the Sky City and completely cut off the connection between the Celestial Realm and the Arad Continent, the vast majority of the Celestials did not know about the existence of the Arad Continent in the future. Occasionally, some Celestials fell from the magic gap in the heavenly realm to the sea of the sky, and miraculously escaped the attack of the hollow fish at the bottom of the sea, and when they came to the continent of Arad, their eyes were full of wonder and joy when they faced this world with very advanced magic......
The Celestials were not affected by magic, and slowly understood phenomena such as elements, metalworking, and chemical power.
The development of metal and * technology led them to create guns, and since then most of the wars have turned into long-distance warfare with guns as the main weapon.
Fighters who use guns we call sharpshooters, and they are also divided into several categories.
The Roaming Gunners of the Unable Lands at the time of Bakar's elimination developed their own unique marksmanship;
A year later, in order to protect the ecliptic, firepower-based professions were created: gunsmiths; Recently, the profession of mechanic has been created due to the influence of industry.
They are warriors who use firearms as their primary weapon for long-range combat. Although they also have the ability to kick from close range, long-range attacks are their main method of choice.
The speed of their arms is very important to them, so they try to avoid wearing thick armor. The heavy firearm of the machine gun type is their favorite heavy firearm.
And the continuous study of ammunition is destined to make some sharpshooters become the protagonists of pacifying this chaotic world, they are ammunition experts, and there are very few new professions that are produced after the complete fusion of firearms and magic in the Arad continent, and there will be more and more in the future.
West Coast –
"Yo ho ~ good morning! Long time no see, Sharan! "A beautiful woman dressed in blue, white cropped pants, with two white belts on her abdomen, a waist and hips*, with long black hair and slightly exposed breasts, Kelly, walked into Shalan's laboratory.
Since Kelly came to the Arad continent from the Celestial Realm through the Sky Sea the year before, she quickly adapted to this place, and she was very interested in magic, and often went to the director of the magic school, Sharan.
Sharan was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, yes...... Good morning......"
Kelly said, "You've been so busy lately that you can't see anyone at all." ”
"It's a little bit busy at school. Well...... Enough of saying hello, right? I'm going to prepare a report, so ......"
Kelly smiled: "Report? You've been busy lately, right? Is there anything simple? Let me help you! If this is over sooner, you'll have time to teach me some magic basics. You promised me before, right? ”
Sharan was a little impatient with Kelly, but eventually relented. "That's because you've been pestering, and I have no choice but to ...... Well...... Well, I got it. There are limits to teaching magic to people other than the Dark Elves, but since you are so active, as the head of the magic school, I can't turn a blind eye. ”
Kelly excitedly, "Really? Wow! Can I summon a pillar of fire now with a 'boom~'? ”
"You're aiming high, but it's good to have goals," Sharan said. So, please sit down here. Yes, please take this medicine and take a deep breath slowly......"
Kelly complied, and ......
"Hmm...... It would be nice if it was simpler and easier to understand......" Kelly said.
"Concentration, anyone can manipulate magic," Sharan said. Although there are differences in talents, it is easy for anyone who has manipulated the power in their own body. ”
Kelly said embarrassedly: "I can only shoot, I don't know anything about the power in my body......"
Sharan said, "Aren't you a famous warrior in the Heavenly Realm? Even if you are a swordsman who relies on a sword, the use of qi in your body is the most basic. ”
Kelly laughed and said, "Ahahaha...... The Celestial Realm places more emphasis on power outside the body than the power within the body. But I don't know if that's the right way to say it. Anyway, I see what you mean. However, I don't know much about the underlying power in me, so I'll ask you to explain it to me......"
"Dark elves have been familiar with magic since birth, and it's a bit difficult to explain it to other races with their voices. So, you close your eyes, and you try to think about your strongest memory, what can you feel from this memory? ”
Kelly recalled: "Strong memories...... That's anger...... Callert's gang of bastards...... The lawless who are smoky and wreak havoc...... Even more unforgivable than they are the betrayers! ”
Sharan frowned and said, "Calm down! Falling into negative emotions will cause the magic to run wild, and it will be very controllable when the time comes! ”
Kelly explains, "But, the thought of them makes me angry. As long as I can return to the Heavenly Realm, I will definitely make them pay! ”
Sharan was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, this is the first time I've heard your story." I only knew that you were from the Heavenly Realm, but I didn't expect there to be such a complicated reason...... Although it is difficult to find a way to return to the Celestial Realm right now, I have good news. Kelly, you have a talent for magic. ”
Kelly was pleasantly surprised: "Wow...... Are you sure? ”
Sharan laughed, "That's right. Although you are very new to the concept of power in your body, the magic flow you show in an instant is very good, although it is so angry that it disappears before it can be condensed into magic......"
Kelly asked excitedly, "Wow, so I can be a magician now, flying around in the sky?" ”
"I said at the beginning, it takes talent," Sharan said. And there is also work to be done. I'll tell you the theory first, and try it out for yourself. It's just wonderful. To be honest, I've been worrying about whether or not to teach you, but I'm very happy that this release has potential students. Why don't we go over for a drink and celebrate? ”
Kelly laughed, "Great idea! When we are happy in the heavenly realm, we also drink and salute to celebrate. It seems that no matter where you go, the habits are pretty much the same. ”
"In the past, there were exchanges between different places, and it is not surprising that the customs are the same." Sharan asked, "What is the salute, though?" ”
"Do you want to know?" Kelly explained, "It's a drink in one hand and a gun in the other...... Shoot into the sky like this! ”
Spirited, Kelly fired as was customary in the Celestial Tavern.
The bottle containing the reagent shattered.
The cat, which was sleeping, was startled and quickly ran away, knocking over the boiling pot.
Shalan's research room was in chaos in an instant, and dangerous medicines flowed out and began to catch fire.
“…… Oops......" Kelly had an apologetic smile on her face.
Sharan smiled, "...... What a salute, thank you. Kelly, now that you have become my disciple, you have caused your own trouble, and you will obediently clean it up without my orders, right? Since you're so energetic, you can get this place back to its original state in ten minutes, right? ”
"Ten minutes?!" Kelly looked at Sharan's smile as if she saw the devil's smile and heard the devil's whisper.
Still smiling brightly, Sharan said, "That's right. It's already abundant. Then I'll go to the Queen. Once you've cleaned up this place, take a look at this book. Ah, right. One of the potions you break up and mix together is one that changes its appearance when it comes into contact with it, so be careful. ”
Kelly was shocked: "Wow, is there still a transformation pill?" ”
"That's right," said Shalan, "there is another medicine that will turn you into a swarthy and sleek worm as soon as it touches your skin." If you don't pay attention, you might be scratched and eaten by cats before I can help you get back to your original state. So, be careful. ”
Kelly was shocked and shouted, "Wow, ah, ah......"
