Arad Magic Test (Part 3)
As mentioned earlier, there is a special magic circle called the "Oster Energy Transformation Circle". This is a magic array that the elven elders used to add to the front of the "mystery box" to absorb the dragon's roar and other impact attacks. The main function of this magic circle is to absorb and convert the energy received, so that it can only be freely transformed in various energies and magical powers. For example, it can convert mana into light energy, and it can also convert light energy into mana.
There is a legend about the origin of this circle on the continent of Arad.
Longlongago……
It was a stormy night, and a magician named Oster was silently experimenting with his own. There was no other expression on his face, just endless perseverance and coldness. No one knew that he was so crazy about carrying out this experiment that only he could understand.
Maybe it's because he's saddled with his family's blood feud, or maybe it's because he has an even crazier plan. Maybe, maybe......
Too much may be flooding the mind of this unwarranted bystander. But no one will ever be able to know why. The only thing that is certain is that this crazy and obsessive scene is really presented in front of this world.
Is the world trembling over it?! No. Because I just can't make it up.
All right~~~! Resume!
A legend is a legend, it's just a story that is passed down by word of mouth.
In the process of spreading this story, because the person who tells it needs to win the attention of others, there will inevitably be many thrilling or tear-jerking episodes added to this story. Gradually, the story evolved. In the process of propagation, it has been wantonly interpreted and distorted by generations of preachers. In the end, when the story has its own soul, it has completed its own evolutionary process.
At this point it was perfect. It has a shiny exterior of its own. It has won the approval of most people, but it is also far from the real historical story.
Now, let's restore the original appearance of this legend and witness the true story together.
Longlongago……
There's not a lot of weirdness in the setting, and our protagonist Oster isn't saddled with a father's murder or widowhood. At this time, he was just an ordinary scholar, or a magician who had not yet become famous.
He had the most ordinary big white beard; Wearing a modest set of mage robes; And in his round-rimmed glasses, which often reflected dazzling white light, there was occasionally an unusually wise gaze. This is him, a great magician who serves as the head of a very ordinary magic school. And this ordinary magic academy has long been lost in the long river of history.
Archmage Oster was a man who cherished time unusually much, so that loneliness didn't take its place in his world. The cherishing of time makes his life full of work, but the pleasure of fulfillment is interrupted by the night. Yes. The eternal rule of sunrise and sunset does not change because he is a diligent magician. Although Archmage Auster could dispel the darkness by lighting a large number of oil lamps or candles, these short and faint candles could not compete with the eternal darkness of night. Over time, the idea of recreating light through magic was born in the mind of Archmage Oster.
From the moment this thought was born, it began to eat away at Archmage Oster's personal time. This process continued until it became the leitmotif of Archmage Oster's life and research.
The beginning of research naturally begins with looking through the research results of previous researchers. After all, no one can say for sure that some similar research notes will be in that magical research record. It was only when Archmage Oster exhausted the vast sea of books that he suddenly realized that he was the first to think of and do it. The thought of this new realm of magical knowledge excites him like a new continent.
Day after day, his reputation in this area grew. Of course, such a reputation is naturally mixed with ridicule and incomprehension. The respect of others was naturally the driving force behind his path, and the ridicule of the ignorant did not stop him for a moment. Because in the course of his continuous research, he identified a vague theoretical pillar. That's lightning and fireball. These two types of magic are powerful evidence of the conversion of magic into light. Based on this theoretical speculation, what he has to do now is to transplant his theory to the theory of the magic array. Because only in this way can that the fleeting light be imprisoned in the hands of human beings forever!
Although in the long process of looking through the research notes of his predecessors, Archmage Oster did not find the slightest favorable information. However, this long reading process allowed him to accumulate a lot of knowledge related to magic arrays. Based on the accumulation of this knowledge, Archmage Oster's understanding of the magic circle has become more profound. Archmage Oster, who had put down his heavy work of checking and instead began to concentrate on studying the magic array, seemed to be getting closer and closer to that great goal with the help of the huge knowledge of the magic array.
Although in his unique brain there is such a great idea - this obsession that can be pursued for the rest of his life. But unfortunately, so far, he is still the only one on the road ahead.
……
Accidents will always happen after a long time, and the stubborn rocks will crack after a long time.
A long solo run will always attract some like-minded people. The first person to come here was named Faraday.
When Faraday, the apprentice magician, arrived at Archmage Oster's quarters, the sky was covered with goose feathers and snow as dense as spring grass. The cold wind and heavy snow are such a beautiful scene. It makes the snow watcher behind the window beautiful, and it also chills the lonely traveler to the marrow. Archmage Oster valued the perseverance of the apprentice most in accepting apprentices, but on such an excellent test occasion, he did not let Faraday, who had come from afar, wait all night in the heavy snow outside the door. He just silently welcomed him into the room, and after a few brief explanations, he officially accepted the magic apprentice who was smirking at this time.
Perhaps it was the long-term loneliness on the road that changed his understanding of the test. The real test is always there on your way, and it doesn't exist in the moment you open the door.
Maybe it's the beauty of God, maybe it's the inevitability of history. This new apprentice of magic is truly the genius of this magical system. Whether it was a little difficult at the beginning, or a long day at the end, the transformation of this magic apprentice along the way was indeed a surprise to Archmage Auster. The stronger this surprise grew, the more Archmage Auster tried his best to teach the brilliant and studious apprentice.
Such days are not long, but they are not short, and in a blink of an eye, they will not be seen for ten years.
Ten years of getting along with each other have already made them a pair of partners who are also teachers and friends, and their research has reached the most critical moment. It was a magical evening, an evening they would never forget. They were still tired but so excited, repeating their research. No one would have thought that a miracle would happen right now!
Suddenly a miraculous scene occurred on the metal pole that had been silent for more than ten years - a tiny arc of lightning was generated on top of it! This scene, which they had been dreaming of for nearly ten years, immediately enlivened these two obsessives who were so excited that they could not speak. After their repeated experiments overnight, they dared to conclude that they had really succeeded!
It's a great start and a great end.
More than ten years of uninterrupted high-intensity magic research has completely drained the little energy left of this already old and weakened archmage. After he got this result, the obsession that had been supporting him for a long time disappeared. Archmage Oster, who had lost his greatest spiritual support, was even more physically weak. Soon after, the smiling great mage returned to the Lord's embrace unharmed.
His funeral was deliberately scheduled on a starry night. It was night, and the night around his graveyard was as bright as day. Those dazzling white lights lit up his epitaph all night - the man with thunder and lightning in his hand.
……
Naturally, the mantle of Archmage Oster was passed on to Archmage Faraday at this time. This core circle has been developed over a long period of time under the continued improvement of Archmage Faraday, and the real sublimation of this circle came when it met another magic apprentice. This magic apprentice was named Edison. The same story, the same admiration, the same hard work, but the difference is that this time it is the great "magic lamp" that was born.
This lit up the great magical equipment of the Arad continent, and made the people of all ethnic groups say goodbye to the fear of unknown darkness completely.
After compiling the research results of these sages, the successors named it the "Oster Energy Transformation Circle" in honor of the ancient sage who founded the sect.
