Chapter 22: Archmage Ernest

After Kyle's King Chess-Demon Lord personally went down and killed Evans' Dragon King with superior forces, Evans, who failed for the second time, looked depressed.

But it was already nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, and they should soon go to the castle's large study for Archmage Ernest's class.

As a matter of fact!

The study in the LOYTEC office is a small study with only history, geography, legends and war epics.

There is nothing important to knowledge.

The books on supernatural powers and rarities are in the big study, or rather in the library.

It has been closely guarded by various spells and guards.

There's a lot of space in the stacks.

It was originally a hall, but later the castle was remodeled and it became a library.

Therefore, the space is quite large, five or six meters high, and there are three rows of bookshelves, each row more than 20 meters long, and each book is locked and sealed by a special box, and the box is locked on the shelf.

The two measures are shared to prevent books from being stolen or damaged.

Except for books.

On the east and west walls of the library are portraits.

Underneath the portrait is a quote from each of them as legendary heroes and great scholars from the history of Tygulas, with their aphorisms or introductions to them.

On the south wall is a topographical map of the continent of Alagacia and a map of the empire's borders, which are very clearly made.

It is a very rare boutique.

To the north is a complex, moving star map with a magical glow.

The two of them walked through the bookshelves and walked straight towards the star map, and did not slow down until they collided with it. When Kyle's leg touches the wall, the badge on his chest glows and envelops his body. Then, Kyle just walks through the star map and disappears.

The same goes for Evans behind him.

……

After passing through the star map, you will come to a strange place.

It was dark all around and above and below, and there were bright stars in all directions, not even the floor. This arrangement makes people feel like they are in the starry sky.

No matter how many times I saw this scene, Kyle was very shocked.

The star map in the library is actually an illusion created by light magic, and the real wall is half a meter behind the star map projection, and if it weren't for people like Kyle and Evans who wore badges or identified themselves, everyone else would have crashed directly into the wall.

The two people wearing identification magic weapons have actually been transported to an underground laboratory ten kilometers outside the city.

Over here.

The surrounding starry sky and the star map of the library are the same principle, only larger.

And what the two of them are stepping on is actually a transparent energy force field.

Don't ask Kyle how he knows.

Three years ago, after Kyle was able to control the release of the 'Void Power (Pseudo)', he used this supernatural power to destroy the properties of elemental energy, and he started the idea of exploring this laboratory———— who asked Old Man Ernest not to tell Kyle the principle.

In the library, Kyle managed to discover the wall half a meter behind the star map, and when he retrieved his powers, he was teleported to the laboratory.

And then.........

As soon as Kyle covered his feet with the golden air mass of 'Void Power (Pseudo)', he stepped into the air. Due to the loss of balance, he couldn't control his body, so he fell directly into the mud and fell into the warehouse three meters below the force field.

But luckily Evans didn't know, otherwise he would have laughed by now.

Mentor Ernest also learned about Kyle's 'Dou Qi' (the golden air mass looks like a burst of Dou Qi when the power of the void is released).

Very envious of this.

But he warns Kyle not to tell anyone else!

If the casters found out, most of them would be terrified of Kyle, which was nothing; But some powerful mages are afraid that Kyle will be taken away as a test object———— relying on power in the magical realm, and those most powerful mages are not even afraid of demigods, let alone mortals like Reut.

One way or another.

Kyle doesn't dare to unleash his powers here now.

He cautiously walked forward, to the brightest source of light.

Compared to the starry sky projection next to it, this light source can be seen as Taiyang (this is the star of the planet Taigulas, called Taiyang, commonly known as Taiyang), and it is also a ball of light, suspended in the center of the laboratory.

Underneath the ball of light was a desk, and an old man sat in the back seat.

He fits perfectly into the image of a scholar, with gray hair but good spirits, and a face that vaguely shows the handsomeness of his youth. He also wears a monocle and wears a costume that suits the appearance of an aristocratic gentleman...... At least it was more like Reuth, and if it were to be put on the ball, it would definitely be welcomed by the ladies and ladies.

He was now writing with a quill in hand, next to a draft that had already been written.

This is Archmage Ernest, the mage advisor of Sharpsburg, a transcendental archmage. (You can rely on your own ability to cast level 3 magic and master at least 10 super magic specialties in order to pass the assessment of the archmage.) )

In Tygulas.

The departments of magic are: 1. Elemental system (elemental energy shaping system, light, fire, air, water, earth and their alienated elements), 2. Mass energy system (material energy conversion system, the mutual transformation of elemental energy and physical matter, material creation and control, energy conversion and guidance), 3. Astral system (star power and phase space system, good at exploration, communication, space teleportation and force field magic), 4. Life system (magic acting on flesh, plants and undead life bodies), 5. Psychic (Mind and Soul) and 6. Necromancy.

There are six levels of magic.

From zero-level tricks to fifth-level magic that distorts time and space and destroys the world.

Both the number and the variety are quite diverse.

Ernest specializes in mass and astrological magic, and Elemental specialization is light. As an archmage, he has been able to unleash level 3 common magic on his own.

And he was originally a Sharpsburger.

According to the archmage to Kyle, he has been fascinated by the outside world since he was a child, and as a young man, he went to the Fallen Stars Council in the south to learn magic. But then when he realized that he was more interested in adventure and travel, he decided to travel the whole world, maybe even to other planets.

That's why he learned astrology.

And the five continents of Tygulas, he has been to them all.

Ernest, who is good at astrological magic, is generally not in any danger as long as he does not die himself. Although it is unknown if it is bragging, Ernest has told Kyle and Evans that he once asked his brother to teleport him to the wasteland planet Tynoil.

Let him examine it there for a day.

He spent his entire middle age traveling the world.

Until ten years ago, when he was in his seventies, he returned to Sharpsburg due to physical reasons and longing for his homeland, and served as a mage advisor to the lord, teaching two children part-time.

Now he's Kyle's magic mentor.

Evans had just come to him to gain knowledge.

According to the Archmage, the dark starry sky in the laboratory was inspired by the style of his mentor, Kyle's ancestor. It is also a manifestation of Ernest's yearning for the starry sky.

Now, the Archmage hopes to write down his experiences while his memory is still waning.

Because he has no offspring...... Or that there are no descendants of whom he himself knows.

Ernest, who is reluctant to transform himself into an undead, wants something to pass on his name and make people remember him.

"Diary of a Traveling Mage" - he even has a title for the book now!

However, Ernest's greatest achievement is probably to successfully convince our protagonist Kyle, an otaku in his previous life, to become a man who aspires to become an adventurer.

More like Kyle's life coach.

……

Although there was not a trace of footsteps due to his feet stepping on the force field, the archmage's soul force field was at least 500 or more (the distance was about 167 meters), and Ernest's spiritual power had already sensed the arrival of the two. He glanced at the two of them, and after finishing the remaining two lines of the page, he withdrew his pen and folded the draft in front of him onto the pile next to him.

Then he said to the two, "You came early today. ”

"Yes, sir, I heard that today you are going to talk about the history of the birth of the empire, so we came early!" Kyle hastened to answer, lest the old man get the conversation to the elemental essence.

"Oh! Interested in this? ”

Sure enough, the old man shook his head slightly at Kyle, but he was still embarrassed to criticize Kyle in front of Evans———— he had always used Kyle to play the role of 'someone else's child'.

…… Used to stimulate Evans.

"Of course, the history books only say that the great Bahamut defeated Tiamat, led the metal dragon to defeat the five-colored evil dragon, and established the platinum empire, but how he defeated the evil dragon and what this land was like before the empire was established is not said." Not only Kyle, but even Evans is intrigued by this issue, because even his mother doesn't know.

"Yes, child, these things are not to be written down in a book in the Empire, like ...... The origin of the dragons is the same. ”

"Where did the dragons come from?"

The two teenagers were curious.

"Yes, the origin of the dragons." The Archmage nodded affirmatively.

Ernest took a sip of moonshine tea, which is boiling water soaked in moonshine grass to refresh your mind.

And moonshine grass is the main ingredient of energy elixir.

After swallowing the tea and using this time to organize his thoughts, Ernest continued: "As you all know, the Platinum Empire occupies the central and western part of the Alagacia continent, nearly one-third of the entire continent. To the east is the Dead Desert, which covers more than half a continent; The coastal strip to the south is the territory of the Falling Star Council; The huge peninsula in the southwest belongs to the Golden Elves; To the north are barren, barren saline lands and hills. ”

Kyle and the others nodded in understanding.

Ernest continued: "The Empire and the Golden Elves have always been mortal enemies, and they have been fighting on and off for almost five thousand years since the establishment of the Empire. ”

Evans was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Is the war related to the origin of the dragon race?" “

Ernest said, "Yes, well......... Do you know about the planet Tenoir? ”
