001 Loss of inheritance
March 7, 521 in the Blood Staff calendar.
It has been just 48 hours since Lothar the Traveler arrived in this world.
Over the course of two days, Lothar figured out two things.
First, the multiverse he is in is called Adelon, which is exactly the same as the world of the virtual online game "King of Mages". The continent he is on is Freiro, the son of a mage nobleman whose father had died on the battlefield a few days earlier. Because he didn't ignite the flame of the law, he couldn't become a mage, so he lost the right to inherit the territory, and he was in a very bad situation.
Second, the latest type of brainwave-manipulated quantum computer he used to travel through the computer has fused with the brain, and has undergone strange changes. Now, Lothar can analyze herself and the world in a digital way.
However, this change will not change his situation for the time being.
In the Edren universe set in "King of Mages", continents float in the sea of stars, and each continent is shrouded in the power of the laws projected by the constellations on the crystal wall sky. Mages, on the other hand, are the only group that can wield the power of the law. Every player is a mage, and the mage is the only protagonist in the game.
And the same is true of the real Adren universe that Lothar travels through, where the mages are the powerhouses who wield the power of the law, and are the unquestionable ruling class. So he knew that only by becoming a mage was the best choice to survive in this world.
In the world of the Adren universe, in order to become a mage, one must ignite the flame of law in the depths of the soul. The people who have the law of the fire are one in a hundred, and the people who can light the fire are even less. The poor fellow possessed by Lothar was not such a lucky one.
The law of the Freiro continent is war, so the social rules for the survival of the strong have been formed. The inheritance of the mage can only be inherited by the mage, and ordinary people are completely unqualified.
The young man who grew up in a greenhouse has lost his loved ones one day and has to leave his safe and warm castle, fearing like a lost dog, with only one maid to follow him except for his personal belongings.
"What a wretched creature ......" Lothar couldn't help but feel pity for the dead ghost who had taken possession of his body.
After he was expelled from the castle, he met the robbers on the way, and was knocked unconscious and passed out. If the maid hadn't called a helper from the passing caravan in time, I'm afraid the only belongings on her body would have been stripped away.
Stroking his head, which was still aching, Lothar recalled the information he had learned from the soul of the descendant of the dead noble.
"It's not a good situation, it seems that many people want to get their hands on the treasures that the Frieden family has inherited from their ancestors."
Lothar took out a black, dull orb from his dimensional bag, the most valuable item on his body. This sphere, which can be held in one palm, is the key to Lothar's current situation.
"The law spark is not lit and cannot activate the item."
The words on the retina flashed away, and Lothar couldn't help but show a slightly disappointed expression: "Sure enough, I still can't get around this hurdle, I have to ignite the fire of the law first." ”
After crossing over, a spark appears in Lothar's body, whose law is "knowledge", which is exactly the same as the spark of his character in the game. Therefore, now Lothar only needs to follow his own fire law and actively acquire knowledge, and he can absorb the power of the law - after the brain is digitized, this energy has a more familiar name for him: experience points.
After absorbing enough of the power of the law, Lothar was able to ignite the flame of law and embark on the path of mage.
Tuk Tuk ......
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, young master." A sweet female voice rang out.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open by the little white hands, and a girl with long blond hair and a sweet face walked in, although she was wrapped in a raincoat, she couldn't hide her beautiful figure.
Lucy, a girl who has been a maid in Lothar since she was ten years old, is gentle and kind, beautiful and lovely, and is simply the last ray of sunshine in the gray life of the former owner of Lothar's body. After losing her inheritance and being forced to leave the territory, she never left Lothar's side, using her tenderness to comfort the injured young man.
"Young Master, this is a herb for treating head injuries, it's very useful, you can drink it while it's hot." Lucy placed a clay pot on the small table in front of the bed.
Then, the beautiful maid took out a book from her raincoat - "General History of the Continent of Freiro".
"Young master, don't you want to read a book to relieve your depression? I just went to the bookstore in the town and bought this book. We don't have much money, so we can only buy this kind of general popular reading materials. ”
Lotamo was holding a cowhide cover, and there was a girl's slight body temperature on it.
"It's really unfortunate that such a heavy rain will trouble you. Lucy, it's not too early, you should go and rest early. ”
Lucy blushed slightly and shook her head: "It's not hard at all, as long as you're happy, young master." You remember to drink the medicine, I quit. ”
Lothar looked at Lucy's back as she left, thoughtful. He didn't touch the jar of herbs, but turned the page.
"Freiro's continental law is war, and the projection constellation is the military flag constellation......"
As his gaze swept over the last word at the end of the page, strands of gray law threads thinner than a hair suddenly rose from the words on the page, and then sank into Lothar's forehead.
"Just as I expected!" Lothar's heart jumped with excitement, "These are all information that I have learned in the King of Mages, not unknown knowledge, but after crossing over, it has become a new knowledge, so after reading it, I can gain the power of the law again." ”
"In the game, I mainly operate on the continent of Terania, and because of the barrier of the void, it is very difficult for players to cross the sea of stars to other continents, which directly leads to the poor exchange of information across continents. As for the Freiro continent that I am in now, I originally only knew that its continental law was war, guarded by the constellation of battle flags. So keep reading, and I'm sure I'll be able to get more new knowledge out of the book. ”
Lothar felt the rough but real touch of the papyrus pages with her fingers, savoring the subtle difference between the real world and the 95% realistic game world. Then, he turned to the next page.
"There are three kingdoms, six principalities, and seventy-six independent city-states and noble lords on the continent. The White Tower of Truth is the ruler of all kingdoms, the supreme controller of the laws of war, and the guardian of the continents......"
After reading the second page, Lothar once again gained new information and a more specific understanding of the continent of Freiro, where he was located. What made him even happier was that the words on the page had also turned into more law spirit threads, which he absorbed.
When the entire book was finished, a row of messages appeared in Lothar's sea of knowledge: "The power of the law has been transformed, and a total of 107 experience points have been obtained." ”
"Good." Lothar's voice was steady.
This feeling of being in dialogue with oneself through consciousness is peculiar, but it takes a few more experiences to get used to it.
100 experience points is just enough to ignite the flame of law. With the urgency of not waiting for me, Lothar ignited the almost exhausted fire in the sea of knowledge.
Boom!
The fire burned instantly, making a bang. Lothar's mind suddenly bloomed with a light as the light of creation at the beginning of the Big Bang, as if it contained a vast amount of information like stars.
This unique experience lasted only a tenth of a second, but Lothar sat upright on the bed like a puppet for an hour before she came back to her senses.
"The virtual world composed of data streams is still incomparable to the real world. When the fire was lit in the game, it was just a change in the character data, where was there such a wonderful experience. ”
Lothar closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into the sea of consciousness, and saw a faint white flame burning silently in the void.
"That's my Tinder...... Lothar muttered to herself, "listing the character data." ”
A row of green values appears on the retina.
"Physical strength: 0.8. Mental Power: 2.0. Mana: 0.1. ”
Before igniting the flame of the law, Lothar only had two attributes: physical strength and mental power. Now that the mana attribute has appeared, it is the best proof of igniting the fire.
Successfully lighting the fire was only the first step on the path of a mage, and the joy in Lothar's heart was quickly suppressed by reason. He got up and walked to the door, listened carefully, and after making sure that there was no one outside, he quietly returned to the bedside, and then took out the black ball from the dimensional bag again.
When the fingertips touched the surface as rough as sandpaper, a strange stimulus was transmitted.
"Arcanist Bloodline...... anastomosis allows activation. ”
Click, click......
The black color of the surface of the ball is like an eggshell, and it continues to shatter, finally revealing its true face inside.
A dazzling ray of light shot out and filled the room. In front of Lothar's eyes, it was as if a small artificial sun had risen. The brilliant brilliance makes people want to bow and worship.
"This is actually ......" Lothar swallowed and reached out to pick up the dazzlingly beautiful ball.
The size is not large, one palm can be held, the light is dazzling, and the touch is warm.
These characteristics all point to a treasure that Lothar is extremely familiar with: the Legendary Orb.
In the classical era, 30,000 years ago, the gods were still there, and they mastered the power of the law, sitting on the throne of the gods, looking down on all beings, and controlling all things. Even mages need permission from the gods to cast spells, extract energy from the magic web, store it in spell slots, and then cast it.
Later, the intelligent creatures of the earth—humans, elves, dwarves, and other races—all joined forces to resist the rule and oppression of the gods and fought a war of unprecedented proportions, known as the Nine Thousand Year War.
At the end of the war, when the coalition forces conquered the kingdom of the gods in the heavenly realm, the gods destroyed the Pool of Eternity in order to redeem their defeats, hoping to resist the coalition attack. As a result, this crazy move led to the collapse of the web of laws that kept the entire multiverse running, and finally triggered a catastrophe that affected the entire multiverse - the Great Collapse.
Whether it is the main material realm or the heavenly realm, whether it is the bottomless abyss or the four elemental realms, whether it is the ether realm or the shadow realm, they are not immune.
All the gods, as well as many people and things with a "force of being" large enough to influence the multiverse, fell in the Great Collapse and eventually transformed into stars, hanging high above the crystal wall sky. These stars formed a constellation with the power of law, projected into the main material realm in a semi-chaotic state, preventing the Great Collapse, stabilizing the giant continents, and finally forming the world today.
